Uneasy daily life

The forensic pathologist explained, "Forensic pathologists use scalpels, not surgical scalpels. They prioritize ease of dissecting the human body and do not consider postoperative healing in their design. They focus more on the feel and biomechanics of the device than on the impact on the patient."

Yukinoshita's father said knowingly, "I understand now that you're saying that the target users for after-sales service are doctors, considering the rights of the main users and serving them?"

After-sales service...

Forensic expert: "From a commodity perspective, that is indeed the case."

You're making a perfectly normal conversation sound very strange.

Yukino Yukinoshita steered the conversation back on track: "Were the injuries in this photo caused by the forensic doctor?"

The forensic doctor held up the photo, pointed to the three wounds, and explained: "When a surgeon performs an operation, in addition to ensuring the removal of the lesion, he must also consider the patient's condition. Modern people pay great attention to their appearance, and disfigurement is given extra consideration in injury assessment. Therefore, surgery is extremely precise... Whether from the perspective of postoperative recovery or the patient's acceptance, the smaller the wound, the better."

"Small wounds heal quickly, resulting in shallower scars, fewer aftereffects, and are less likely to be reported."

"Forensic doctors don't need to consider these two perspectives, nor do they need to worry about complaints; they are more inclined to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the results."

“Look closely at the three wounds in the photo. They are all diagonal cuts from the upper right to the lower left. The top one is located on the chest, with the top end close to the collarbone. The bottom one is located on the upper abdomen. The purpose of these cuts is to open the edges to make it easier to observe the chest cavity and confirm the position and size of the internal organs, so as to avoid removing organs. I mean, to avoid deviations in treatment, because very few people look like the internal organs diagram in a textbook.”

"The longest and widest scar in the middle is from when the body was opened, the chest was dissected, organs were removed, and surgical treatment was performed."

"The scar is straight, the wound is not crooked, and the hand is very steady. The scar is slightly wide, so it was probably done with a large scalpel or dissecting knife. The fact that the wound was able to heal into a scar means that the recovery is quite good... This reminds me of the doctors in the last century who used saws, hammers, and chisels to perform surgery, as recorded in textbooks."

"This scar... is probably from the surgery to remove the heart, but I don't know what disease it was for."

After seeing the father and daughter off, the forensic doctor reminisced about the photo, feeling genuine admiration.

Which expert in the field, with nothing to lose, actually managed to revive the body? Or, during an autopsy, after only three incisions and before the heart could be removed, the corpse came back to life and cried out in pain?

……

……

"Yukino, who is in this photo?"

Yukino's father clicked his tongue in amazement: "She's really tough."

To survive a forensic examination, you have to be tough.

"A friend of Bai Jun."

Yukino Shinobu simply revealed the answer to avoid her father's constant questioning: "Father, you should go to work."

"Yes, let's go back to the company."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "I'm going to find Haku-kun."

"Why bother with that kid? Just text him the result." Yukinoshita's father straightened up. "Learn to use the convenience of modern technology..."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and said, "I will take the train, I won't walk."

"Being obsessed with relationships is not a good thing. A positive, healthy, and uplifting relationship should be a driving force for self-improvement..."

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly replied, "Since Father is saying this, does that mean I haven't done something well enough? You are welcome to criticize me, as long as you have reason and evidence, I will reflect on it seriously."

"Yukino, you—"

The father looked at his daughter, who had stopped and turned to look at him, her calm gaze like a wall. His expression was serious.

The old father's smile blossomed like a flower: "Don't overwork yourself. You've been running around a lot lately, and you have too many things to worry about, so it's easy to get tired. Find a chance to go on a trip sometime, like to Okinawa..."

"I don't have much time this summer vacation."

Yukino Yukinoshita knew when to stop: "Fireworks festival, company training, summer homework and other things, I'm quite busy... Father, what exactly is the fireworks festival about?"

"Approving applications from various vendors, ensuring the scope, route, and area of ​​the event, arranging the location, time, and follow-up of the large-scale fireworks display, and notifying residents in various places. There are mainly four aspects, and each one is broken down into its own details. In this process, you naturally have to deal with many people and relevant departments."

Yukinoshita's father said, "For example, there's an organization against fireworks pollution that exaggerates the dangers of fireworks, environmental pollution, and noise pollution to some people, inciting locals to protest... What would you do if you faced a group of people who came to your door to oppose you?"

“Persuade them,” Yukino Yukinoshita said coldly. “Fireworks festivals have set times and locations, and there are follow-up cleanup procedures. They won’t be set off in residential areas, so the definition of disturbing the peace is still up for debate. The existence, expansion, and operation of human society will of course have an impact on the natural environment—to exaggerate pollution and only talk about toxicity without talking about dosage is to stop breathing.”

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you solve it, older sister?"

Yukino's father smiled and said, "Yono's method was to stall. She talked to people on the surface, but she didn't make any promises or leave any room for criticism. She determined who the leader was and who was just acting on impulse. After the protesters dispersed, she led her people to persuade and defeat them one by one. Most of the people who acted on impulse changed their minds, and only a few people remained to protest."

Yukino Yukinoshita said knowingly, "People regain their calm and intelligence when they are disconnected from the internet from a noisy group, but isn't it a bit slow?"

"Procrastination has its merits; it can nip problems in the bud."

The father sighed slightly under the snow.

Yang Nai is sharp-eyed and quick-witted when dealing with interpersonal issues, but this ability is not in line with her true self and only brings pain... I wonder what Yang Nai is doing now, whether she is simply studying at university or has found something else that can give her meaning.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Oh."

"Of course! Any method is fine, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!"

Yukinoshita's father snapped out of his reverie and said seriously, "You need to have depth in your analysis and grasp the essence of the conflict. Only then can you mobilize your resources to solve the problem at its root..."

"Is Father planning to come with me to the tram station and eliminate Bai Jun completely?"

Yukino Yukinoshita stopped in her tracks, crossed her arms, and silently exerted pressure on him with her gaze.

"That's true, taking the tram is so slow."

Yukinoshita's father laughed and said, "I'll drive."

He looked like he was going to cause trouble.

Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her forehead and sighed.

During summer vacation, the little goddess goes to meet a villain. The villain asks the little goddess for help, which must be a trick to maintain contact—hehehehe! Multiple crimes combined, enough to warrant a dozen death sentences!

Even if the little goddess gives me the cold shoulder, I will still argue my case if she brings up the big goddess.

We must have a spirit that is not afraid of hardship, difficulty, or even major threats!

Even if it means fighting a major threat that has committed seppuku, I will be full of fighting spirit and will spare no effort!

What? You're afraid to commit seppuku?

You don't even have the courage to commit seppuku, yet you want to step across the threshold of Yukinoshita's house?!

The Snow-Covered Son-in-Law, Attack!

……

……

Ding Dong!

Yukino Yukinoshita rang the doorbell.

It's pretty absurd that Bai Jun's petri dish was moved directly from Chiba to Kanagawa... He accidentally developed PTSD from the demolition, so he simply moved it further away.

Yukino thought to herself.

A smile that curves up about ten degrees indicates happiness; a warmer gaze indicates anticipation; a decreased focus indicates daydreaming.

The father was deeply moved by his daughter's unconscious, subtle behavior.

His deep gaze was fixed on the door, filled with murderous intent.

"When a friend comes from afar, sweep the floor, cook, wash the dishes, the brave one should do that first..."

The white figure opened the door enthusiastically, only to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming warmth that greeted her.

Such strong fighting spirit!

"Haha, young man! Long time no see, I've missed you dearly!"

Yukinoshita's father strode forward, overtook the car, cut in line, and stood at the door, extending his hand with a warm smile: "It's an honor to meet you again! It's truly an honor to meet you again!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had just lifted her foot: "..."

First, calm down, then gather evidence of your father's crimes, such as playing games at work, and present it to your mother.

The white figure looked at the outstretched hand, its fingers curled, its tiger's mouth slightly closed, and its arm arched subtly tense.

This handshake likely conceals thirty years of accumulated skill.

"The uncle's smile was very kind and warm, as if his palms held the essence of his life's work. His lips were radiant with kindness, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was both unwilling and smiling—this strange and contradictory attitude—"

Bai Ying muttered a few words of analysis to herself, then exclaimed in shock, "The hero brought your father to propose marriage?!"

The moment the words were spoken, the air fell into a deathly silence.

"No!" Yukino Yukinoshita forcefully suppressed the fireworks in her mind, rubbing her temples. "How did Shirafuji's line of thinking mutate to this conclusion?!"

The father's smile vanished instantly, and he glared at her coldly, saying, "Young man, you're far too self-important."

Wait a minute! Why is this guy talking about proposing marriage? Has the little goddess's feelings already been exposed?!

Yukinoshita's father frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Excellent! If he's exposed, he's probably doomed! This guy will definitely dampen the little goddess's enthusiasm, and she'll be abandoned sooner or later. Brilliant!

No, no, no! If we're honest, the little goddess might become even more stubborn. Once she sets her sights on someone, she'll relentlessly pursue them, which is very bad!

Okay! No! Okay! No!

The father's expression under the snow was unpredictable.

"Thank you for the compliment. Confidence is just one of my many strengths. Please come in, both of you."

Bai Ying extended a warm invitation.

The father snorted coldly, stepped inside, changed into indoor shoes, and mentally rehearsed his response.

Bang!

Suddenly, a metallic sound came from the kitchen.

"Bai Jun is quite careless."

Yukino Yukinoshita changed her shoes, glanced at the white figure still wearing her apron, and teased with a slight smile, "You rushed over to open the door, didn't you put the soup spoon away?"

“Exactly!” Yukinoshita’s father chimed in. “A true man should remain calm in the face of danger and know when to advance or retreat. Even in the face of imminent peril, he can first sweep away the dust, showing meticulousness beneath a rough exterior, and a sharp mind hidden within subtlety. If one panics in the face of an unexpected event, it will be difficult to consider all aspects…”

“The uncle is right.”

Bai Ying nodded repeatedly: "This junior has learned a lot."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her father with a wistful look.

win!

The father, oblivious to the fact that it was snowing, was in a very pleasant mood.

This isn't enough; I need to press my advantage!

I know all too well what problems a man living alone might encounter at home!

Piles of plastic bags from stores, leftover trash at the bottom of bins, accumulated grime, dusty corners that can't be swept clean, socks and clothes scattered like rice grains, and maybe even mysterious cardboard boxes hidden in closets or under beds...

Let me use these discerning eyes to find evidence that will ruin your reputation in front of the goddess, kill you on the spot, and leave you with no chance of ever rising again!

The opportunity came very quickly.

As soon as they entered the living room, Yukinoshita and her father were drawn to the overly conspicuous shrine.

Yukinoshita's father was overjoyed: "Good! Superstition?! Young man, you have to be down-to-earth and not pin your hopes on some nonsense. This kind of attitude of yours is not good. You lack self-reliance and composure, and you may be swindled out of your entire fortune!"

“Haku-kun…” Yukino Yukinoshita’s expression was a little subtle. “This shrine really has all the necessary elements.”

"I believe this is the only way to critique superstition."

Bai Ying retorted, "Reciting the Tao Te Ching in front of a Buddha statue, holding a cross in a Taoist temple to summon souls, and playing the Great Compassion Mantra on a loop in St. Peter's Square—is there a more powerful form of criticism than these?"

"Hmph, well said. Let me see what you've got enshrined in your shrine..."

Yukinoshita's father peeked out, ready to expose the guy's disguise.

Inside the shrine was a photograph of a white figure, smiling broadly.

Couplets were pasted on the left and right sides.

[Seeking Buddha, Tao, or the Lord of Heaven, one ritual fulfills three obligations, reflecting human relationships and worldly wisdom.]

[To ward off disaster and pray for wealth, first kowtow; those who deceive others will be punished, those who deceive the masses will become rich.]

Horizontal scroll: [Old Buddha, Old Taoist, Old Emperor, squeeze in, I'll get some incense offerings]

Yukinoshita's father: "?"
