The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 446 - 260: As Police, We Must Leave No Regrets
Next, he looked to his left and right at the other two directors.
Both nodded, their expressions focused.
One of them concurred, "Exactly! Earlier we traveled to many places nationwide with Mr. Bai for case supervision."
"Among these cases, there were also homicide cases involving personnel from special venues."
"However, those cases seemed relatively straightforward."
"But this one is completely different, devoid of the special traces left by business conducted in such special places."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang displayed confusion and slightly shook their heads.
Regarding this case, they had studied it tirelessly, firmly believing the homicide was due to a dispute over fees.
Yet, after fruitless pursuit along this line of thinking, nothing was gained.
Seeing their surprised and confused looks, Mr. Bai frowned slightly.
"Of course, this is just my gut feeling."
"I can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong right now."
"This is my view regarding the nature of the death."
"Additionally, regarding the choice of target, and the gain of property, there are significant differences from past fee disputes."
"At this murder scene, there’s no sign of extensive property rummaging."
"Therefore, I think we need to thoroughly think through the range of suspects."
Mr. Bai spoke slowly, his words tactful and modest.
Admittedly, he had only been involved in the case for less than 20 minutes.
The thick case file before him remained largely unexamined.
If he were to rashly draw conclusions now, he would likely make errors.
Subsequently, he turned to the two beside him, his gaze inquisitive, saying, "Hmm, you two should also share your thoughts."
"This is an internal discussion, no impact at all, let’s enlighten each other and broaden our thinking."
Sitting next to Mr. Bai, Mr. Wang straightened his waist, cleared his throat, and joined in, "Earlier, Mr. Bai spoke quite comprehensively."
"I’ll just mention one small thought of mine."
"Since there’s almost a two-hour difference in the time of death between the two victims, what was the suspect doing during those two hours?"
"Let’s assume the female on the second floor was the first to die."
"Why, then, was there no movement from the female victim on the first floor during those two hours?"
"And where exactly was the female victim on the first floor at that time?"
"Is there any link between her and the suspect?"
Hearing this, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang slightly lowered their heads, their brows furrowed in deep thought.
After a brief pause, Mr. Wang continued, "That’s just my modest opinion."
Mr. Bai then turned his gaze towards his right, focusing on the gentlemanly Mr. Li, who wore glasses.
Mr. Li said, "Earlier, the two of them covered quite a lot."
"In fact, after reviewing the case file myself, I also have some thoughts."
"I won’t repeat what they’ve already mentioned."
"I’ll address the aspects that differ."
"During the occurrence of this case, did the residents on either side hear anything?"
"Any sounds of argument or other noises?"
"After all, such distinct sounds might provide us with crucial clues."
"We know that direct killings, fee dispute killings, or familiar offender killings differ in terms of sound."
Across the table, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang listened attentively, nodding constantly, while swiftly taking notes in a remarkably humble manner.
Then, after Mr. Li was finished, he looked at Mr. Bai, nodding slightly in signal.
Mr. Bai understood, given that he is the head of this supervision team.
Mr. Bai sat up straight, cleared his throat, and raised his voice saying, "All three of us have shared our initial thoughts."
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze shifted to Jiang An, his eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma, actually you have a detective wizard hidden in Jiangcheng right opposite us."
With this comment, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang’s faces showed pride.
The four people on the opposite side immediately focused their attention on Jiang An.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed under their gaze, Jiang An’s cheeks flushed slightly, quickly shaking his head with a shy smile on his lips.
Seeing this, Mr. Ma pursued the opportunity, humorously teasing, "Indeed, Comrade Jiang An."
"Actually, now we should call you Captain Jiang."
"Since the three leaders think highly of you, why don’t you share your thoughts, too."
Being appointed publicly by the leaders, Jiang An felt a surge of excitement, his chest slightly rising and falling.
The chance to express views freely at a specialized project research meeting in the police force is quite rare.
Not to mention being spotlighted by significant figures at such a critical moment of solving a complicated case, which is highly significant. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
At this moment, he felt as if enveloped by a spotlight, overwhelmed by the attention.
After all, regardless of one’s profession, all hope to be valued and recognized.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, cast a determined gaze over the crowd, speaking loudly yet humbly, "Dear leaders, Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang."
"Truth be told, this is my first encounter with this case today."
"I knew nothing about it before."
"Earlier, after listening to my senior’s introduction, I gained some preliminary understanding and thoughts on this case."
"Next, I’ll briefly report my thoughts to the leaders present."
"If there are any shortcomings, I kindly ask for the leaders’ criticism and guidance."
Upon hearing this, the three leaders exchanged glances and smiled, their eyes full of appreciation.
This young man has competence, knowledge, and such humility.
What leader wouldn’t appreciate that?
Arrogant and conceited individuals couldn’t possibly catch their eyes.
Next, Jiang An stood up, his posture upright, walked briskly to the projector.
He tightly gripped the slide controller with his right hand, handling it dexterously.
Soon, he found the first photograph.
Then, he spoke in a deep voice, "Next, I’ll talk about my insights from three perspectives."
"First, the direct feeling about the crime scene;"
"Second, the separation status of the bodies;"
"Third, the nature of the death in this case."
These three sentences prompted the supervision team leaders below to simultaneously raise their eyebrows.
This young man, appearing immature, yet his words and actions displayed calm and competence.
He seemed devoid of adolescent awkwardness, rather projecting certainty and composure as if he were a sharp tool in the field of criminal investigation, evidently an expert.
Even across the table, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang wore pleased smiles, their gaze towards Jiang An growing ever fonder.
At this point, Jiang An slightly turned sideways, pointing at the photograph displayed by the projector, and spoke, "This is the first photo of the scene."
"The photo shows the doors and windows closed."
"Though not locked, they are tightly shut."
"Moreover, there are no signs of damage to the doors and windows."
"Therefore, the suspect most likely entered through this door."
"Moreover, he either entered during operating hours or someone opened the door for him.
"Why might he have entered during operating hours?"
"Everyone notice, one of the female victims is clothed sitting on the first floor, clearly not in a resting state."
"Therefore, this detail suggests the suspect entered non-violently."
"Next, regarding the missing items indoors, while some things are gone."
"We are unclear on how much money is missing."
"Yet, the perpetrator’s purpose was clear, directly locating the money."
"Barely touching other drawers, indicating the perpetrator is quite familiar with the scene."
"Given this, there are only two possibilities: either a friend or acquaintance of the two victims or a regular visitor to the place."
"Then regarding the position of the two bodies, just as the three directors mentioned."
"The two victims died at different locations, with different methods."
"One suffered mechanical suffocation from neck compression."
"The other had the neck sliced by a sharp object."
"However, regarding the number of perpetrators, despite different death methods, I believe there was only one suspect in this case."
