"What are you going to do after get off work?" Trista sneaked into Rhett's office. Seeing that they didn't accept the case today, and it was almost five o'clock, she came here excitedly.

"Well, you decide." Reid actually just came back this morning, because there are still a lot of paperwork, so he came to work directly.And since he could still see Trista, he didn't bother to go back to the apartment once.

"Then eat first. And I hope you don't have any cases these two days, so that we can play together on the weekend." Trista rubbed her hands, expecting those perverts to rest.

"You already have a plan?" Seeing that Trista was so excited, Rhett knew that she must have found something fun to do.

"Didn't we see a few human specimens when we were in the Matt Museum last time, which were made by the Philadelphia Medical School using donated remains. Although there were many people who opposed it at first, the people in the medical school, you know, are more It was ahead of its time, so they just kept doing it. And then recently they partnered with a trade show for a medical show in the Northeast that had these specimens, and more. Rare opportunity, only a week, want to go Is it?" Trista took out her mobile phone and turned to the ticket sales page.

Reid nodded, his mentality was not to seek novelty, but to acquire more knowledge.These people from the medical school can be said to be the most ahead of the times, and of course he also wants to meet.

Fortunately, there were no major incidents this week, and they could enjoy the weekend.

Flying to a city in the northeast, Trista looked at the white snow outside the airport, and put her hand into Rhett's pocket, "Ah, I didn't know it was snowing here, come here I never looked at the weather forecast.”

"There will be a lot of blizzards this winter." Rhett shrank his shoulders, letting her get closer to him.

"Let's go there quickly, it's so cold." Trista hailed a taxi, not wanting to waste time.In case there is a sudden case, they have to rush back.

When we arrived at the exhibition hall, there was already a small group of people queuing up in front of the gate.The two hurried over and were also at the end of the line.

"Let's play a game." Seeing that there was still some time before the door opened, Trista tugged on Rhett's sleeve, wanting to play with him.

"What game?" Rhett straightened his back, even though she was his girlfriend now, he still didn't want to lose.

"Let's guess what those people in the front line do." Trista looked up at the front of the line, "The first one, a brown-haired white male wearing a blue-black down jacket, I guess he is a Professor of Medicine."

"Most of the people who come here are people related to medicine. You have to tell your reasons." Reid asked patiently. He thought Trista was very smart, and he should teach her more about it. write something.

"Not only is he a professor of medicine, but he's also a cancer expert. I guess, his name is David." Trista winked at Rhett, but didn't say why.

"You know him, right?" Rhett guessed it, which is too simple.

"I don't know him, I just occasionally remembered his appearance when browsing a medical school website." Trista laughed, and she could recognize more than half of the people in the line here.Who made her never forget people's faces, even if she wanted to.

"Then it seems that I can't play the face recognition game with you in the future, and I definitely can't win." Rhett took her hand and made her face herself.

"Then I will only look at you from now on." Trista stretched out her hand and rubbed his long hair.

"No, you still have to read all the wanted persons and criminals in the archives. That way, if you meet them on the road, you can identify them." Reid still didn't forget his work at this time, and his thinking was too inertial.

"Hahaha." Trista didn't get angry at his incomprehensible style, but laughed out loud, he was so cute.

At this moment, the doors of the exhibition hall opened, and the crowd filed in.The two also walked in and began to visit.

The medical exhibition this time was jointly organized by several medical schools and medical companies, so the exhibition hall is very large. Not only are there some very precious specimens, but also many new medical methods in experiments, as well as some things that are beyond the ethics of ordinary people. Advanced medical research.

The two learned a lot while watching the exhibition and listening to the explanations of professionals.

In particular, Reid stayed the longest before an exhibition of Alzheimer's research at Johns Hopkins University.

"Are you worried that all the knowledge you have now will be forgotten?" Trista was a little curious, why he suddenly paid special attention to this disease.

"What I'm most worried about is forgetting who you are." When Rhett said this, he didn't actually think too much, that's what he thought.

In his life now, apart from work and his mother, she is the most important thing.

If one day he unfortunately suffers from this disease, then he hopes that he will not forget her.

"No, I won't let you forget me." Trista was so moved that her eyes were red, she threw herself into Rhett's arms and rubbed again and again.But after being moved, she woke up again.Rhett would definitely not say this for no reason, he must have some basis, "Is anyone in your family suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

"Well, it's my mother. She has been in a trance recently. But I'm not sure, and the doctor hasn't diagnosed it yet." Rhett licked his lips, and said this sentence with some difficulty.

"That's it..." Trista was silent for a moment, she also knew about Alzheimer's, and knew that the probability of inheritance of this disease was very high.But she still smiled and said optimistically, "Isn't it not diagnosed yet? Don't worry too much. And if you need help at that time, let me tell my father. He knows many doctors."

"Yeah." Rhett nodded, not continuing the topic.Don't worry if you don't know for sure, he doesn't want too many worries to ruin the date.

The two continued to walk forward. After seeing the latest medical technologies such as cloning technology, various human organ reconstructions, and artificial wombs, they finally came to the highlight of the exhibition, the human specimen exhibition area.

This area is isolated and cannot be seen through at a glance.The two turned a few corners and read some popular science comics about unethical and thrilling short stories about medical progress before they really walked in.

The lighting in this part of the exhibition area is very dark, and only the only light is cast on the specimens.

For those who study medicine, this is not terrible, but it can make people focus on these specimens.

It was the first time for Trista to observe such a specimen at such a close distance. She had also come into contact with many ancient corpses, all kinds of them.But the ancient corpse is completely different from this kind of specimen. The owners of these specimens have passed away not too long ago, and they once breathed with you.

This is also the reason why many people cannot accept this kind of medical specimens. They think it is an insult to human self-esteem.

Trista and Red's receptivity is far greater than that of ordinary people, but when they face such specimens, they are still a little shocked.

"This is a Caucasian woman. She should... look about 40 years old, and she has never had a child." Trista tilted her head and carefully looked at the muscles and bones of this specimen. The more details she found, the more she felt. The discomfort becomes stronger.It seemed that what stood in front of him was not a specimen, but a real person.

"It takes 3000 hours of work to make a plasticized specimen. Every muscle, every blood vessel and nerve can't be wrong. We spent a lot of effort and serious attitude to make these specimens. Most of our specimens come from voluntary sources. Donate to thank them for their contribution to the advancement of medicine..."

The organizer of this exhibition is chatting with a group of people nearby. He speaks in a very low-key manner. He must have gone through a lot of preparation before.Because this kind of specimen has many criticisms, what he said is also very cautious.

"At the beginning of the 19th century, medicine was developing rapidly, and more and more people were studying medicine. At this time, there was a serious problem. There were not enough cadavers for medical students to practice dissection, and professors could not teach. At that time Most of the sources of corpses are executed prisoners and unclaimed unknown corpses, the number is very small. Many professors have begun to rely on underground transactions, and they buy these illegal corpses from some grave diggers for teaching. There are two People named Baker and Hal have been doing this kind of business, but then they thought it was too hard to dig graves at night, so they started killing people. They also chose some high-risk groups, such as street girls and homeless people. Later they hid The unsold corpse under the bed was discovered, and the arrest was made. However, there was insufficient evidence at the time, and there was pressure from the medical school. Only one of the two was hanged, while the other escaped the crime. Afterwards, the UK legislated to crack down on such transactions, but this did not prevent the underground market from flourishing." Reid chatted with Trista in a low voice, what he said was the black history of medicine a century ago.However, this dark history has never been broken. The progress of medicine has always been stepped on the blood and corpses of countless people.

"And now they have the dark web." Trista shook her head, she didn't criticize, and couldn't comment.

"The black market has always existed, no matter what era it is in." Redra continued to walk forward with Trista. There are more than a dozen specimens on display here, and the scale is relatively large.

Walking in front of the last specimen, Trista tilted her head again, "Just now the person said that their corpses were all voluntarily donated, so there should be some traces of disease, or they are older But this one... is very young."

Reid also knew some ways to judge the age. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the bones and blood vessels of this specimen carefully. "The blood vessels are all healthy, without varicoseness or hardening. The bone age also looks very good." Young, should be no more than 30 years old."

Just when the two were concentrating, their mobile phones rang at the same time.Trista was so frightened that she immediately hugged Rhett, and she had goosebumps all over her body.

"There is a case." Reid sighed, knowing what the content was without looking at the phone.

But they didn't expect that the place where the crime happened is near here, at least they don't have to fight the delay at the airport in the wind and snow.
