The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 424 - 250: An Assist from Jiang An

Li Jian, with Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan, hurriedly made their way back to the criminal investigation team from the traffic control center.

Even before reaching the team’s entrance, they could see a crowd of journalists gathered there from afar.

The journalists had their cameras densely set up, flash bulbs occasionally flickering, dazzling one’s eyes.

Li Jian furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze sharp, and said in a low voice, "These journalists are well-informed."

The three people in the car looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads.

As the car slowly came to a stop, the journalists swarmed like sharks smelling blood.

"Captain Li, how is the progress of the case currently?"

"Everyone is paying attention. We heard there’s a major suspect. Is that true?"

A journalist rushed forward, shoving a microphone in front of Li Jian’s car, leaning in, eyes filled with urgency.

"Captain Li, rumors are that this case is related to a love dispute. Can you give us some details?"

Another journalist, unwilling to fall behind, squeezed through the crowd, stretching his neck long, trying to catch Li Jian’s attention first.

"When will the police solve this case and give everyone an explanation? It’s making people feel uneasy."

Reporters in the back joined in, shouting one after another, creating a chaotic and noisy scene.

...

Li Jian raised his right hand, palm facing forward, signaling everyone to calm down.

He responded steadily, "Dear journalist friends, thank you for your attention to the case."

"The case is currently under intense investigation. We, the police, are doing our utmost to give everyone an answer as soon as possible."

"However, in this crucial stage of the investigation, please understand that specific details can’t be disclosed for now to avoid affecting the investigation process."

His voice was deep and powerful, his gaze sweeping firmly over everyone.

However, the journalists were relentless, continuing to press forward.

A young journalist, unwilling to give up, edged closer and said, "Captain Li, just a little hint. The public is desperate for the truth, and the pressure is quite significant."

Li Jian smiled helplessly, his lips slightly curling up, though his gaze grew more determined.

"It’s to be responsible to everyone and to the truth that we must handle the case meticulously. Rest assured, once there’s concrete news, we’ll inform everyone immediately."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the others in the car, nodding slightly in signal.

Then, several people got out of the car, using their bodies to pave a way for Li Jian.

After much effort and with the help of other team members, Li Jian and his team finally broke through the "encirclement" of journalists and entered the criminal investigation team.

Once inside, Li Jian let out a heavy sigh.

His tense nerves slightly relaxed, and he raised his hand to wipe his forehead, which was covered in sweat.

Just as he gathered himself, Li Jian’s phone suddenly rang. He quickly took it out and saw it was Mr. Ma calling, hastily answering, "Mr. Ma!"

On the other end, Mr. Ma’s voice carried urgency and gravity, "Li Jian, this case is spreading wildly outside. The public pressure is immense!"

"Everyone is watching. There’s rampant speculation, which is quite a test of our police department’s credibility."

"How is the progress on your end?"

As Li Jian listened, he furrowed his brows again.

His expression turned more serious, and he slightly straightened his back.

"Mr. Ma, we are doing our utmost in the investigation."

"We’ve identified several suspects and just came back from checking clues at the traffic control center. We’re preparing to further dig into the evidence."

"Li Jian, I know you’re working hard, but the situation is urgent. You must accelerate."

"The longer it drags, the greater the public uproar becomes."

"We must give the public an explanation as soon as possible and bring the truth to light to relieve everyone’s worries."

Mr. Ma earnestly advised, his voice clearly audible through the phone.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Ma, I understand."

"We will race against time, leaving no detail unchecked, and solve the case as quickly as possible."

Li Jian clenched his fist, determination shining in his eyes, raising his voice unconsciously as if swearing an oath to the director.

"Alright, inform me of any difficulties at any time, the bureau will fully support you."

"Remember, stay fast but precise, don’t make any mistakes."

Mr. Ma ended the call.

Li Jian put away his phone, took a deep breath, and said heavily, "Brothers, Mr. Ma called; the public pressure outside is enormous. We need to step up our efforts and catch the culprit as soon as possible."

Then, he focused his gaze on Jiang An.

Jiang An, feeling the gaze, also nodded gently.

As their eyes met, there seemed to be a flowing intuition.

Unknowingly, Jiang An seemed to become the key breakthrough point for solving difficult cases in Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation.

At that moment, Mr. Fu also walked in!

After a brief pause, Captain Li Jian asked, "Captain Fu, how is the interrogation going?"

Captain Fu stepped forward, straightened his body, and replied.

"Our team is investigating Wang Shantao, but she remains silent. It appears quite difficult to break through the interrogation."

"Just now, Captain Qin brought another worker, Li Xiang, back from the brick factory."

"However, 40 minutes have passed, and they haven’t come out yet, which suggests the interrogation isn’t going well either."

Hearing this, Captain Li Jian furrowed his brows even more deeply.

He crossed his arms and paced back and forth.

"What should we do now..."

This outcome didn’t surprise him, but his current distress was about where to find a breakthrough.

After all, the case had reached a critical stage by now.
