The doctor was a forthright person!
When he got to know that they were police officers from a big city who were here to handle a case, his gossip nature got activated and started to chat with them.
First, he asked what that big explosion at the mountain was about.
When he didn't get a response from them, he started talking on his own—rambling about by himself without bothering how others would think.
According to him, even though he was a doctor in this remote place, he had great skills as a doctor…
Back then, when he graduated from a well-known medical school in the country, in order to support his hometown and the health of his fellow townsmen, he returned to his hometown.
Otherwise… he would have stayed in a big city and worked in one of the top three hospitals there. Then his wife… would have been someone who lived in the city.
