The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 239 - 165: Jiang An’s Trump Card!

"Let me tell you, this was caused by charcoal falling onto my pants while I was grilling a few days ago, purely by accident."

"How’s that? Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

He immediately shook his head.

"Aren’t you police officers supposedly eating here for nothing?"

"To conclude that I’m the perpetrator based solely on a burn mark is rather arbitrary, isn’t it?"

At this moment, Wan was so angry he stomped his foot.

"Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Right now, we’re practicing civil law enforcement, but once the cameras are off, we don’t have to be civil anymore."

"Threatening me?"

"Losing my head is only the size of a bowl, you can’t scare me."

Zhong Shuang lifted his chin slightly, his eyes glanced over provocatively.

Chen He noticed Wan was losing his cool.

He quickly patted Zhong Shuang on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Then, Chen He stepped forward.

"You have a motive, you have the time, you possess the tools, and you even have injuries from the act on your body."

"With all this evidence laid before you, do you still want to quibble?"

"If this goes on, we will pursue the harshest penalty for murder with the prosecution."

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhong Shuang said, "No matter what, I won’t confess to a crime I didn’t commit."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.

It was then that Li Jian stepped forward.

He sternly said, "Don’t pretend to be noble."

"Three thefts, one robbery."

"Do you think you’re a good person?"

After he said this, Zhong Shuang suddenly paused.

A moment later, Zhong Shuang said, "Theft, robbery, but I didn’t commit murder."

"Murder is a serious crime, and I know that well."

"Moreover, I’ve reformed, trying to be a good man."

Li Jian despised such unscrupulous, smooth-tongued suspects.

Li Jian’s emotions were also somewhat agitated, "Do you really want to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"

"In all my years as a detective, I’ve seen all kinds of hoodlums."

"In the end, they’ve all been subdued and sent to jail by me." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Today, I don’t believe a young guy like you can obstruct our police work."

Zhong Shuang looked unbothered like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, "I don’t care, I’m innocent, I didn’t kill."

At this moment, Jiang An stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, "Even if you can excuse the burn as caused by grilling."

"Did you also scratch your thigh while climbing trees during the grilling process?"

At this time, Zhong Shuang suddenly glanced at his crotch with evasive eyes.

Quickly, he looked up and defended, "When we were barbecuing in the mountain, we passed through a wooded area, maybe a branch accidentally scratched my thigh, is that a problem?"

Jiang An glanced at Zhong Shuang, "A sharp branch can indeed cause skin cuts."

"But the scratches on your inner thigh are three parallel lines, are you saying three branch tips are also distributed parallel?"

"Isn’t that too coincidental?"

Zhong Shuang appeared uneasy and irritated, saying, "How would I know? Who would notice if branch tips are parallel?"

After a long pause, Jiang An solemnly said, "

You’re lying!"

"This was caused when you climbed through the window into the Crime Scene that night."

Jiang An’s voice was low and sounded forcefully.

Zhong Shuang froze there, not expecting this young-looking officer to have such a penetrating voice.

The room fell silent again.

A moment later, he asked, "This is just your conjecture, do you have evidence?"

"Of course!"

"We certainly have evidence!"

"The evidence is left on that windowsill."

"Since the windowsill’s edge caused scratches on your legs, it must have your blood and skin tissue left on it too."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shuang suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes were wide open, staring straight at Jiang An.

At this moment, not only Zhong Shuang but Li Jian, Chen He, and Wan were all stunned.

No one expected Jiang An to pull off such a decisive move at the end.

Seeing Zhong Shuang’s expression, the other three instantly realized the impact of this tactic was significant.

Then, Jiang An continued, "If you confess now, it might still be considered as confession."

"But if we leave the interrogation room, return to the fire scene, extract the blood and skin tissue from the windowsill edge for testing."

"And match the test results with your DNA, you would have no chance to confess anymore."

"At that time, we’ll definitely take you to court with zero confession, giving you the most severe criminal punishment."

Suddenly, Zhong Shuang’s eyes widened, his breath became rapid, and his body trembled slightly.

Eventually, he collapsed into the chair behind, his head drooping down.

After a long while, Zhong Shuang slightly raised his head.

"I’ll talk! I’m ready to say it all now."

"Officers, if I speak now, can it be considered a confession?"

Li Jian glanced at him and said, "That depends on what and how much you’re saying."

"I’ll talk! I’ll say everything! Not leaving anything out!"

Jiang An, Li Jian, Chen He, and Wan exchanged glances and nodded.

Soon, Jiang An and Chen He walked out of the interrogation room, leaving the interrogation to Li Jian and Wan.

Just after leaving the interrogation room, Chen He gave a thumbs-up, "Jiang An, you’ve made a great contribution again this time."

"But how did you know he had scratches on his thigh?"

Jiang An replied, "When I bent down to observe the burn on his ankle, I inadvertently noticed three parallel scratches on his inner thigh."

"Wow! Impressive!"

"Masters clash, it’s the details that determine the outcome."

"Admire! Had you not made that decisive move at the critical moment, the kid would probably still be denying."

Jiang An chuckled, "Perhaps luck was on my side this time."

"Brother Jiang An, you’re being modest, luck is a manifestation of strength."

At this point, Zhang Yean also jogged over.

"Junior brother, you were so impressive this time."

"Just now, your brilliant analysis in the interrogation room, I saw it all clearly from outside the glass."

"Admire! Admire!"

Jiang An laughed lightly.

Then, Zhang Yean curiously asked, "Do we need to go to the scene to collect blood stains now?"

Jiang An looked at the two of them, then said with a smile, "Senior sister, we can go now, but don’t get your hopes too high."

"What do you mean?"

Chen He looked puzzled.

Zhang Yean also asked, "Were you lying just now?"

Jiang An said, "The three skin scratches are real, but there might not be blood or skin tissue on those edges."

Zhang Yean became more confused, looking at Jiang An.

Jiang An explained further, "From a forensic perspective, the scratches on his inner thigh are very minor, even if there was bleeding, it would be very minimal."

"Moreover, Zhong Shuang was wearing black long pants, as the sharp edge peeled away from the skin through the fabric fibers, it likely rubbed off the trace amounts of blood and skin tissue."

After listening, Chen He nodded and said, "Interrogation is about the balance of truths and falsehoods."

He exclaimed, "You’re a forensic expert, but you’re even more proficient than us detectives."

At this moment, Li Yong ran over.

He said, "Mr. Chen, we’ve made some progress in our external investigation."

"Speak!"

"We obtained Chen Minghao’s bank transaction records."

"On the day of the incident, Chen Minghao withdrew 1 million in cash from the bank."

"Oh? One million? For what?"

Li Yong replied, "The purpose of the cash withdrawal was not stated."

"Also, we investigated Li Lan’s personal situation."

"Li Lan’s father passed away 2 years ago, and her mother is in the final stage of uremia and found a kidney donor a month ago, preparing for a transplant operation."

Chen He asked, "What is the relationship between Li Lan and Chen Minghao?"

Li Yong replied, "According to Li Lan’s close friend, Li Lan found this long-lost uncle half a year ago."

"There’s nothing improper about their relationship."

Upon hearing this, Chen He suddenly felt confused.

He asked, "Why were they together that night?"
