The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 466 - 270: Sharp Instrument Cut Marks! (2)
"Are they still doing it now?"
"They should be!"
"Earlier this year, I went there once. The shop’s name is Ruyi Foot Massage Shop, located on East City Street in the development zone."
The accompanying officer immediately wrote down the key information.
Li Jian smiled and said, "Could you please take a trip? Thank you so much."
Then, his expression turned serious, "But please, don’t tip off Ye Hui about this."
"We need to talk to him separately to understand the situation."
"If he runs off early, you might have to bear some responsibility, understand?"
The man across was terrified upon hearing this and quickly waved his hands, solemnly stating, "Officer, don’t worry, I definitely won’t tip anyone off."
After a pause, he cautiously asked with curiosity, "Do you know what Ye Hui has done?"
Li Jian looked at him with a solemn expression.
The general manager quickly rebuked, "Is that something you should be asking?"
"Get back to work immediately, or this month’s performance will be canceled."
"Sorry, sorry! It’s all my fault for talking too much."
After speaking, he immediately scurried out of the office in embarrassment.
Then, the general manager hurriedly apologized, "Mr. Li, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not managing properly."
Li Jian waved his hand, "No problem!"
"Thank you for today!"
As he spoke, the two tightly shook hands.
"No worries, if you need anything, feel free to contact us. We will fully support the police in their investigation." The general manager spoke sincerely.
"That’s great, thanks again."
After Li Jian said this, he left the general manager’s office with the two officers and headed towards Chundong Road in the Yashi development zone.
minutes later, they arrived at a location a hundred meters away from the Ruyi Foot Massage Shop.
Considering that their police car was too conspicuous, to avoid alarming anyone, they deliberately parked it in an alley.
If they drove the police car with the siren on to catch someone, it would be like telling the suspect, ’The police are coming to get you, run.’
That’s just stupid.
If they really wanted to carry out an arrest, they had to use civilian vehicles and wear plain clothes, sneak up quietly with their guns holstered, and catch them by surprise.
After getting out of the car, the three quickly holstered their guns, straightened their coats, and pretended to be ordinary passersby.
Then they headed straight towards the Ruyi Foot Massage Shop.
At this moment, the sun was already high, and the street where the foot massage shop was located was bustling with people coming and going.
As they walked, one of the officers muttered quietly, "This early, can the foot massage shop be open yet?"
"If it’s legitimate, it shouldn’t be open at this hour."
"And if it’s not legitimate, it’s even less likely to be doing business now, as those employees usually rest during the day."
Li Jian nodded slightly, eyes focused, "No worries, let’s try our luck, maybe we can catch them off guard."
Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Ruyi Foot Massage Shop.
To their surprise, the shop’s shutter door was wide open.
Li Jian turned to look at the two officers, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "See, I said we shouldn’t think about problems in habitual ways."
"Look, the door is wide open."
Speaking, Li Jian and the other two strode to the entrance of the foot massage shop, standing there peering inside.
The store was gorgeously decorated, with soft red lights creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
Li Jian raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, raising his voice, "Excuse me, is anyone here?"
Soon, a woman with exquisite makeup came out of the bathroom.
Her face was full of smiles as she enthusiastically greeted them, "Oh, three gentlemen, are you here for a foot massage this early?"
Li Jian glanced at the two officers and said with a straight face, "The three of us are from out of town."
"We went hiking all day yesterday, our feet are exhausted, and we thought we’d come to relax this morning."
"Foot massage, huh?"
The woman looked a bit troubled, twisting her waist, then explained, "Sorry!"
"If it’s a foot massage, there’s only me here now, so I might not be able to manage all three guests."
"Originally, there were three staff members, but the other two are off today."
Li Jian leaned in, his gaze meaningful, asking suggestively, "Besides foot massage, do you offer other services?"
The woman immediately understood, her smile even more radiant, "Of course, all the services you want, we have them here."
Instantly, a barely noticeable mischievous smile appeared on Li Jian’s lips.
He turned to the young officer on his right, teasing, "These two have different tastes from mine, they prefer male therapists."
The woman giggled, covering her mouth, like a hen that had just laid an egg.
Her face lit with an ambiguous smile, "Oh, sir, you have quite the broad interests."
"No problem, but you’ll have to wait a bit."
Next, Li Jian curiously asked, "Your boss is a man, right? What’s the price like?"
"Boss?"
The woman laughed, "He just handles management!"
Immediately, Li Jian’s expression shifted suddenly, asking harshly, "Is your boss here?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Are you looking for our boss for something?" The woman looked puzzled.
"Tell him to get out here!"
"This street won’t have any more foot massage shops in the future, I’ll take over!"
Li Jian deliberately said this with menace.
At this moment, his demeanor instantly changed to that of a tough gang leader.
Upon hearing this, the woman was furious, thinking they were troublemakers.
She immediately turned around, picked up the phone on the table, and quickly dialed a number.
In the next second, she was shouting into the phone, "Hui, someone is causing trouble at the shop, come over quickly!"
After hanging up, the woman stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at them angrily.
"You three, don’t leave today if you dare, let’s see how Hui deals with you!"
Li Jian held a smile on his lips, turned to the two officers, and calmly said.
"Alright, we’ll wait right here."
"Let’s see who this Hui really is."
"And how he’s going to deal with us."
Meanwhile, in the criminal investigation team’s meeting room.
Zhang Yean, Wan, and Jiang An were sitting around the conference table, their eyes focused on a stack of case files.
Just a moment ago, the two of them were hungry with their stomachs growling, but now, having been intrigued by Jiang An, they had completely forgotten their hunger.
Jiang An extended his finger, pointing at the photograph in front of him.
With the other hand, he held a magnifying glass, constantly adjusting the angle, magnifying the detailed features of the cervical vertebrae.
Suddenly, his eyes gleamed with excitement, shouting, "Senior brother, senior sister, look at this female victim’s neck bones, something’s not quite right."
Zhang Yean and Wan, hearing his words, bent over and leaned in, carefully observing through the magnifying glass.
Through the magnifying glass, tiny natural pores on the bones could be seen.
"Nothing unusual."
Zhang Yean straightened up, looking at Jiang An in confusion.
"These bones are exposed to the elements over time, weathering and erosion, local pores are quite normal."
"Isn’t this like other skeletonized bodies?"
Wan also straightened up, scrutinizing for a while.
"This skeleton was examined by a forensic expert immediately after discovery, there’s even a forensic report."
"After forensic examination, no obvious fracture marks were found on the bones."
"Moreover, beneath the body’s abdomen, no toxic residue from decomposition was found in the soil."
"With no external injury and no signs of poisoning, at the time, it was not classified as a homicide case."
Following his understanding, Wan explained logically.
After all, for such skeletonized remains, the general handling procedure is like this.
As long as there’s nothing obviously unusual, there’s no basis for a criminal case.
Just after Wan spoke, Jiang An picked up the magnifying glass again, lightly tapping the photograph’s cervical vertebrae.
He said with determination, "No, it’s not right!"
"Look!"
"There’s a fine line on the cervical vertebra."
"I think this spot might be a bone gap left by a sharp instrument’s incision."
"Sharp instrument incision," these four words struck like a current, instantly making the entire meeting room’s atmosphere tense.
