The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 376 - 227: Please Come with Me Once More!

The woman took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she grasped the bunch of keys.

With a "click," the door lock opened in response.

Immediately, she strode into the living room, and as she raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touched the icy light switch.

With a crisp "snap," the darkness in the room was instantly dispelled by the light.

At this moment, Li Jian, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan entered the room quickly, carrying heavy toolboxes.

Li Jian turned his head, his sharp gaze piercing towards the woman like a sword, his thin lips parted as he spoke:

"This will do, please step outside. We need to examine the scene here."

Upon hearing this, the woman instantly lost all color in her face, her eyes wide with surprise.

"You want me to come out?"

Her voice involuntarily rose, and her hands anxiously twisted together.

"We’ll ensure not to take a single needle or thread from here during our investigation."

"If there’s anything we need to extract, we’ll definitely get your consent first." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Moreover, our examination procedures are very strict, so please cooperate."

The woman was about to argue further, but upon seeing Captain Li Jian’s face, cold as the stars,

those tightly pursed lips seemed like a seal, stifling her words back into her throat.

With resignation, she nodded. "Well then... okay, I’ll go out now and wait for you in the yard."

As the woman turned to leave, Captain Li Jian suddenly turned sideways, drawing his gun with lightning speed.

A "clank" announced the round in the chamber, that metallic clash especially jarring in the quiet room, like a bolt of thunder.

The sound made the woman’s body tremble, a flash of terror crossing her face, her heart nearly jumping out of her throat.

Li Jian quickly explained, "Don’t be afraid, this is a necessary procedure for examining the scene."

"I’ll ask again, is there anyone else in this house?"

His voice was deliberately slowed, yet still couldn’t hide the tension within.

The instant she saw the gun, the woman’s blood seemed to freeze, her legs turning weak as she nodded mechanically, "Only me."

At this moment, her mind blanked out, only hoping this nightmare would end soon.

Li Jian put away his gun, exhaling a long breath, "Alright then, since you’re alone, please step outside and don’t delay our work."

As he spoke, he covertly observed the woman’s reaction. Only after confirming she wasn’t acting suspicious did he slightly relax.

In the blink of an eye, the woman hurriedly grabbed her keys and stumbled towards the door, nearly bumping into the frame.

Next, Li Jian strode quickly to the door, closing the living room door with a "bang."

Now, only the four of them remained in the living room, the atmosphere so heavy it seemed it could drip water.

Witnessing the earlier scene, Wan was anxious, sweat beading down his forehead as he asked hastily:

"Captain, we’ve examined scenes so many times and never seen you draw your gun like this. What’s so special this time?"

As he spoke, his voice was full of confusion and concern, his hands unconsciously gripping the examination tools.

Li Jian nodded slightly, his deep gaze cast out the window, pondering aloud: "This place is quite isolated, the police station chief hasn’t arrived yet."

"If there’s a partner hiding here, wouldn’t we be in danger?"

Li Jian outwardly appeared calm, but inside he was anxious, the safety of his team weighed like a boulder on his mind on every mission.

Hearing this, a flicker of fear crossed Zhang Yean’s face, her pupils shrinking slightly as she swallowed hard: "Yes, the captain is right, if there are others, we’d be in trouble."

"Back in college, I heard a story where investigators were killed on the spot because a co-conspirator hadn’t left the scene."

Her words carried a hint of lingering fear, an image of the horrific scene inadvertently arising in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Wan’s face changed color, clicking his tongue: "Goodness, examining a scene is this dangerous."

"Next time I should wear a helmet, a bulletproof vest too."

"If I die someday without even moving into my house or getting married, wouldn’t that be such an injustice."

Li Jian raised his hand and gave Wan a heavy pat on the shoulder, as if trying to transmit courage to him, saying: "Mr. Wan, don’t worry too much."

Shaking the gun in his hand, he added, "Even if there’s a partner, they wouldn’t dare show themselves easily."

"Plus, I’ve already sent word, and the station is dispatching reinforcements. Let’s get started now."

Having said this, Captain Li Jian turned to Jiang An, his gaze filled with inquiry and trust, and asked:

"Jiang An, where should we start?"

As they spoke, Jiang An crossed his arms, his brow furrowed, pondering where to begin the examination.

After all, this house wasn’t necessarily the crime scene, just a direction of their hypothesis.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the case details quickly flashed through his mind, especially the details of the body, clear like a movie scene.

He knew full well that critical clues might be hidden in an inconspicuous corner,

a slight oversight could miss the truth.

Moments later, he slowly opened his eyes, a resolute gleam in them, and said in a deep voice:

"Captain, I think this time we should examine from the special to the general."

"From special to general?"

"What does that mean?"

Curious, Wan asked, his eyes wide like a child with a thirst for knowledge.

"I suggest we prioritize the victim’s bedroom."

"In the preliminary analysis, the fracture in the victim’s skull likely came from a heavy blow received on the bedroom bed."

Jiang An explained unhurriedly, gesturing with his hands to indicate possible points of force on the bed.

He had already reconstructed a vague scene of the crime in his mind.
