The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 187 - 146: Found Him, But He’s Dead!

"Jiang An, does the evidence at the scene need any special handling?"

Jiang An shook his head. "For now, there’s nothing that needs doing specially."

"If that’s the case!"

"Let’s split into two groups and start the investigation next."

"Zhang Yean is very experienced with pets, you go with Jiang An to investigate at the pet shop, see if there’s anyone familiar with Wu Yan."

Zhang Yean looked pleased, "Yes! I’ll fully assist Mr. Jiang’s investigation and ensure that the mission is accomplished."

"Wan, let’s head to Bense Fitness Center right away for further investigation on the male coach, Huang Bing."

Wan asked, "Brother, didn’t you ask me to retrieve the surveillance footage from outside Wu Yan’s clothing store?"

"Why suddenly let me go to Bense Fitness Center with you?"

Li Jian replied, "You don’t have to worry about the surveillance footage anymore."

"I’ve already got Mr. Chen taking a team over to retrieve it."

Retrieving surveillance footage is easy, but reviewing it is a tedious process, looking at each frame can easily miss crucial information if overlooked.

Wan suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Li, your arrangements are very wise."

"I’ll always follow you, wherever you go, I will be there."

Subsequently, everyone split into two groups to begin the investigation.

minutes later, Jiang An and Zhang Yean arrived at Xinyuan Pet Shop with a white pet cat.

As soon as they entered, they saw the walls lined with pet cages.

Zhang Yean showed his badge and said, "Police investigation, please cooperate with us!"

The woman at the bar counter glanced at them.

She initially thought they were a couple buying a pet but was surprised they were police officers.

Her face showed some disappointment as she said, "I’ll get the store manager down right away."

"No need! Let me ask you first, I’ll speak with your manager later."

Upon hearing this, the girl put down the landline phone she was holding.

Immediately, Zhang Yean took out a photograph from his briefcase and passed it over.

"Do you recognize the woman in the photo?"

The girl took the photo, looked at it carefully.

"Seems familiar!"

"I remember she had a very expensive cat."

Then, Jiang An placed the pet cat he was carrying onto the counter.

"Is it this cat?"

The girl looked at it, somewhat excited, "It’s exactly this cat."

"I remember she often came to our shop to give the cat a bath, get vaccinations."

Jiang An continued to ask, "Are you familiar with this woman?"

The girl across shook her head.

"Just exchanged greetings when meeting, can’t say we’re familiar."

"Do you remember if she came alone or with someone else each time?"

The girl thought for a moment.

"In my memory, Wu Yan basically came by herself each time."

"Are you the doctor who vaccinates or treats this cat often?"

The girl smiled and said, "That cat is very precious, I don’t have the skill or qualifications."

"Then generally, who treats this cat?"

"Usually, our store manager handles it personally."

"Store manager?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man, wearing a white coat, glasses, and having a large belly, just happened to come down the stairs.

The girl quickly said, "This is our manager, he’s quite familiar with this cat too."

Upon hearing this, the man showed a look of surprise.

He then turned to look at Zhang Yean and Jiang An.

In the end, the man’s gaze settled on the white pet cat.

Zhang Yean asked, "Sir, hello, we’re officers from Jiangcheng Police Team investigating a case, are you familiar with this cat?"

The man across nodded, "Quite familiar!"

"This cat is mixed breed, very precious."

Jiang An stepped forward and asked, "Do you know this cat’s owner, Wu Yan?"

The man looked down at the white pet cat and furrowed his brow.

"Yes, but not familiar."

"After all, they’re customers in our shop."

"Whenever she comes, we chat a bit."

Then, the man suddenly turned and asked, "Officers, why is this cat in your possession?"

Hearing this question, Jiang An and Zhang Yean exchanged a glance, nodding at the point their eyes met.

Jiang An said in a deep voice, "This cat’s owner, Wu Yan, is likely deceased."

"We are investigating the case."

The man’s eyes widened in shock.

"Deceased?"

Jiang An nodded with a serious expression, "Other details are not convenient to disclose."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s fingers moved slightly.

Then he froze there, staring at Jiang An.

"Is her death confirmed?"

Jiang An nodded, "I am the forensic specialist; her cause of death has been determined."

"How did she die?"

"Sorry, this is confidential case information; I cannot disclose it to you."

Immediately, Jiang An changed the topic, saying, "Today, I am here mainly to seek more clues, if you have any information, please inform us promptly."

After a while, the pet shop owner quickly nodded and said, "Of course."

However, his gaze dropped, and he appeared disheartened.

After a few simple questions, Jiang An and Zhang Yean walked out of the pet shop.

Once inside the police car, Zhang Yean suddenly turned to ask, "Junior, why do I feel that the pet shop owner is acting suspiciously?"

"Senior, what makes you say that?"

"How can a pet shop owner be so interested in our investigation?"

"Moreover, during the conversation, I felt he seemed slightly nervous."

Jiang An nodded and said, "I felt the same."

"I doubt the pet shop owner was being truthful."
