The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 388 - 233: Profiling the Perpetrator

At this moment, in the courtyard of Wang Jianghe’s old home.

Mr. Qin, Mr. Liu, Jiang An, and others gathered around a pile of tools.

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously focused on the wooden stick in Jiang An’s hand.

Zhang Yean held a camera, carefully sticking a prominent scale near the fingerprint.

Then, she steadily pressed the shutter.

With a "click," the camera captured the fingerprint impression.

Her movements were smooth and precise.

After taking the photos, she meticulously checked the clarity and details of the pictures.

Mr. Liu’s eyes were sharp as he meticulously scanned the tools on the ground.

He frowned slightly, revealing an inner confusion, gently shaking his head with a tone of bafflement.

"Brother Jiang An, why do you think this tool isn’t an axe?"

"Wouldn’t an axe strike with greater force?"

As he spoke, he picked up an axe, simulating a chopping motion.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Jiang An’s mouth slightly curved upward, revealing a confident smile.

"Indeed, an axe has more force, but if used to strike, it might cause a distinctive pattern of skull fractures."

As he spoke, he formed a lantern shape with his hands.

Then, he slowly altered the shape to vividly demonstrate the changes in the point of impact.

Simultaneously, Jiang An provided a simple and easy-to-understand explanation to make it clearer for others.

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Mr. Liu’s eyes.

He instantly gave a thumbs up, nodding repeatedly in praise.

Mr. Qin stood by, hands clasped behind his back, with a deep gaze.

He observed the scene and listened to Jiang An’s explanation.

Mr. Qin’s face showed approval, occasionally nodding solemnly in agreement.

Then, he forcefully patted Jiang An’s shoulder, his tone encouraging.

"Brother Jiang An, your detailed explanation earlier showcases your professional competence."

Then, Mr. Qin turned to face everyone, spreading his hands confidently.

He spoke with determination: "Since Jiang An was so certain, the characteristics of our other suspect become very distinct."

"Now, let’s all seriously think about what kind of person would always carry gloves."

"Moreover, this person’s gloves show obvious signs of wear."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu crossed his arms over his chest, furrowing his brow in deep thought.

He slowly paced, muttering gently to himself.

Then, Mr. Liu slowly spoke up.

"I am quite familiar with the occupational structure of the local residents."

"We are situated in an urban-rural fringe, with many people engaged in farming."

"It’s possible they use hoes when working outdoors."

As he spoke, he gestured the action of using a hoe with his hand.

Mr. Qin nodded slightly, hands in pockets, gazing into the distance.

Seemingly sketching in his mind the scenes of local residents working.

"It’s a possibility!"

"But, would local farmers always carry gloves with them?"

Pausing briefly, Mr. Qin gently shook his head.

"I don’t think so."

"Moreover, from my personal analysis, could it be someone engaged in long-term moving tasks?"

"A mover?"

"I think it’s possible they wear gloves."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An nodded slightly, saying thoughtfully: "I tend to agree with Mr. Qin’s perspective."

"Although farm work might involve contact with tools like hoes."

"Those tools often have smooth handles, possibly requiring gloves occasionally."

"However, the gloves’ heavy wear suggests high frequency of use."

After a while, Mr. Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clapping his hands excitedly.

"You know, we have a brick kiln here where workers often carry bricks."

"Could the suspect be a worker from there?"

As he spoke, curiosity filled his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang An’s eyes lit up and he clenched his fists.

"This occupation seems highly plausible."

"Because if moving bricks by hand, gloves would likely be necessary."

He stepped forward and asked, "Is this brick kiln a small workshop or a big company?"

"Do they use machines or manual labor for moving bricks?"

Mr. Liu replied, "The factory isn’t large, just a small brick kiln."

"So, many workers there are local farmers working the jobs."

Mr. Qin seemed to discover a new clue, musing: "This could certainly be our next primary investigation focus."

He glanced at his watch, speaking decisively: "It’s quite late now, we’ll head there to investigate tomorrow morning."

Mr. Liu quickly responded: "Yes, we’ll follow all of Mr. Qin’s arrangements."

He stood upright, his expression serious.

Then, Mr. Qin turned to look at Jiang An.

Concernedly, he asked: "Brother Jiang An, do you think this place needs further investigation?"

Jiang An shook his head, spreading his hands open.

He spoke calmly: "We’ve thoroughly examined the entire interior."

"We’ve also carefully surveyed the bed in the bedroom."

"Now that the tool is clear and the death location relatively certain, I don’t think further investigation is necessary."

"Alright then, it’s late, let’s cordon off the scene for now."

"If there’s a need for further investigation later, we’ll proceed."

Mr. Qin directed them methodically.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly in unison.

Then, everyone swiftly took action, with some setting up the police line, placing warning signs.

"Thank you all for your hard work, take a break for now."
