Semua Bab My New Desk Job Made the ‘Corpse Whisperer’ Panic: Bab 1 - Bab 9

“Mr. Lyons, the autopsy report is ready.”A colleague’s voice rang in my ears. I jerked my head up and froze at the sight of several familiar faces.“Dr. Jaffe, how many pages did you write this time?” Someone mocked me with his tone dripped with contempt.I sprang to my feet with widened eyes.When I looked at the familiar autopsy room, it hit me that I had been reborn on the very day my boyfriend’s childhood friend claimed to be a ‘corpse whisperer.’“Dr. Jaffe, are you okay?”One of my colleagues was startled by my reaction and asked with concern.I could not be bothered to answer her. I shoved open the autopsy room door, rushed to the desk, and grabbed the freshly printed report.The pages were filled with meticulous notes, the results of my painstaking autopsies and careful analysis.I rushed into the office, determined to report my findings before Yvette could.However, just as I opened my mouth, her voice cut through the air.“The victim exhibits dark red livor mortis

After that day, I was completely overshadowed by Yvette.The police bureau's attention to her grew by the day, while their attitude toward me became increasingly cold.My colleagues looked at me with nothing but disdain. It was as though I was completely unnecessary.“I heard Yvette the corpse whisperer’s reputation has spread to other units. That really makes the police chief look good!”“Exactly. And then there is that so-called ‘Chief Forensic Pathologist’? Don’t embarrass yourself here!”I worked tirelessly every day to prove myself, yet every time Yvette easily outshone me. All my efforts felt utterly wasted.Her reputation had also reached the families of the victims. Families who had previously agreed to autopsies now came to the police bureau, protested, and accused me of desecrating the bodies.“If there is a corpse whisperer at the police bureau, why are you cutting into my son’s body? He did not even get a whole body!”“What so-called expert? I say she’s just a cru

The victim’s family members at the scene seemed to find an outlet the moment they heard about my transfer. They sneered and taunted,“So now you’re transferring? Where were you before?“After all the fuss you caused, you still couldn’t give the victims peace. What were you even thinking?“Good, finally some sense. Get out of here, and don’t let me see you in the forensics department again!“From now on, we’ll rely entirely on Dr. Hans. I believe she can speak for more victims!”My colleagues chimed in too. Their voices dripped with disdain,“About time. With Yvette, the corpse whisperer, here, what do we even need her for?“If your skills aren’t up to it, don’t push it. Save yourself from embarrassing the police bureau.”Their sharp words hit me like arrows, but I did not bother responding.Gene watched everyone fawn over Yvette while looking at me with nothing but contempt. He felt embarrassed having me as his girlfriend and immediately announced he was breaking up with me.

On my first day back at the forensics department, Yvette seemed unusually happy.She wore a radiant smile and went out of her way to fuss over me.“Wynn, you are finally back! We have all missed you so much.“Don’t worry about what happened before. It was all a misunderstanding. In my eyes, you’re still the best forensic pathologist in the city!”I ignored her and asked only about the case. Yvette quickly responded,“This time, the victim is a young celebrity. An idol with lots of fans. The agency is taking it very seriously and has been pressuring us to solve it quickly.”I looked at her ingratiating act and could not help but secretly let out a cold laugh.She wanted to keep her fame as the city’s celebrated corpse whisperer. Tricking me to come back was clearly part of her plan.I nodded.“Got it. It’s late now. We will start the autopsy first thing tomorrow morning.”When I got home that evening, my father leaned close with a mysterious look, whispered a few words, and ha

The crowd erupted in confusion, trying to figure out what I meant.[What is she saying? Does this mean all of Yvette’s conclusions came from hearing Dr. Jaffe’s thoughts?][No wonder! She kept claiming she could speak to the dead, but the moment Dr. Jaffe got transferred out, she never did another autopsy!]I took a deep breath. I faced the camera and everyone, then I began speaking slowly and clearly.“I have always felt something was off about Yvette’s so‑called ability. She could always blurt out conclusions before I did, and they were exactly what I was thinking.“Until one day, I discovered she had placed a charm on me. That is why she could hear my thoughts.”Yvette’s face instantly drained of color. She tried to argue,“You are lying! I never did that!”I let out a cold laugh. Then I pulled a small vial of charm water from my pocket and sprinkled it on both our hands.The moment it touched our skin, a white mark appeared on my arm, while a black spell mark burned onto h
