The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 422 - 249: Keep Making Things Up!

Li Jian’s hand trembled slightly, then paused, as He Biao’s corpse appeared in his mind. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He had accompanied the entire autopsy process.

In his memory, there were no obvious wounds on He Biao’s hands.

Zhang Yean and Wan, standing nearby, also looked shocked.

Zhang Yean asked in confusion, "Junior Brother, I remember that there were no weeds on the deceased He Biao’s hands at the time."

Jiang An glanced at the river water, then said solemnly, "Senior Sister, look at how turbulent the water is here."

"Even if He Biao had weeds in his hand, once a person dies, the clenched fist gradually loosens due to muscle relaxation."

"So, even if he grabbed weeds when entering the water, there wouldn’t be any trace of leaves left."

Zhang Yean looked as if she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

"If that’s the case, how can we prove it?"

Jiang An crouched down, carefully examining the weeds nearby again.

After a while, he looked up and said, "Look at this edge, isn’t it extremely sharp?"

"If we quickly grabbed these weeds, there would surely be some small cuts left on the palm."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian suddenly had a moment of realization.

Many in his generation came from rural backgrounds.

In childhood, he had followed elders into the fields and fed cattle.

He quickly said, "I have some authority on this."

"I remember that when I used to cut pigweed as a child, sometimes I would accidentally cut my hand."

"Of course, the cuts weren’t deep, just small wounds."

Jiang An nodded, "I remember during the autopsy, the deceased’s right palm had some small cuts."

"At the time, I didn’t pay much attention."

"Because the deceased He Biao was a worker at a brick factory."

"And the bricks at the factory aren’t smooth either."

"But now, it seems that I didn’t consider everything thoroughly back then."

After a while, Wan asked, "Do you mean those cuts were caused by the weeds here?"

Jiang An nodded again.

"That’s right, based on my personal judgment of these cuts, I think it matches this situation perfectly."

Li Jian looked down at the fallen weeds and the broken leaves at the riverbank.

"Makes sense, I think Brother Jiang An’s words are very reasonable.

These cuts alone don’t entirely confirm this as the entry point into the water.

"But considering the disarray of the weeds and the cuts on his hand, I’m more than 90% certain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yean chimed in, "Captain, earlier the two of us saw there was a small path above."

"And there’s surveillance within a 200-meter distance both in front and behind."

"Let’s check the surveillance again, perhaps we’ll find something useful."

Li Jian nodded and said, "We definitely need to obtain the surveillance."

"However, the camera is over 200 meters away, so seeing clearly might be unlikely."

"But, seeing the state of the fallen weeds earlier, I can confidently say this is the entry point."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mr. Qin and Zhang drove back to the tile factory.

The police car drove in again without encountering any obstruction.

After getting out of the car, the two went straight to the manager’s office.

The manager looked surprised to see Mr. Qin return.

He quickly said, "Mr. Qin, is there somewhere else you need to investigate?"

Mr. Qin nodded, "This time we’re here to find someone else."

"Who?"

"Didn’t we already tell you about all the men related to Wang Shantao?"

Mr. Qin nodded again, "This time we’re looking for Li Xiang, the director of Workshop Three."

"Him?"

"He’s long had no contact with Wang Shantao."

"His wife had once come to the factory to cause a scene because of that, and afterward, they broke off all relations."

Mr. Qin nodded gently and didn’t say much.

Since the case was still under investigation, Mr. Qin said, "Is Li Xiang at work now?"

"Yes!"

"He was sitting with us in the meeting this morning."

"Alright, could you please take me to find him?"

The manager quickly said, "Should I invite him to the office instead?"

"No need."

Mr. Qin simply replied.

"Just take me to him, to prevent him from running away."

Upon hearing this, the manager looked confused.

But seeing Mr. Qin’s serious expression, the words he was about to say died in his throat.

Five minutes later, under the manager’s guidance, Mr. Qin and Zhang arrived at Workshop Three.

A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet was checking the work in Workshop Three.

Standing at the door, the manager said, "Li Xiang, come out for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang glanced back.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and walked out.

Forcing a smile, he said in a deep voice, "Manager, who are these two?"

"This is Mr. Qin."

"We need your cooperation for a case investigation."

Immediately, a flicker of panic crossed Li Xiang’s face.

"Police? Looking for me?"

He forced a smile, "What is it about?"

Mr. Qin glanced at him, looking him up and down.

"There’s a case, and we need you to come with us to assist in the investigation."

Li Xiang glanced back at the workshop and said, "Police comrade, if there’s a problem, could we talk about it here?"

"During the morning meeting, the morale of our workshop employees was down, and production tasks have slipped."

"I was planning on supervising more closely."

Mr. Qin looked at the manager and said, "Could you give him a day off for now?"

"Let someone else supervise for the time being, as this case is quite urgent."

The manager thought for a moment, then turned to say, "Alright, go assist the police for now."
