The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 546 - 309: This Case Is Many People’s Regret
Jiang An didn’t set an alarm for his nap this afternoon!
Mr. Li had told him to rest well at home today, as it was his time for recuperation.
Days of rushing around solving cases left him feeling a bit exhausted.
However, this nap wasn’t particularly restful.
In his dreams, he was still investigating the murder scene.
Perhaps this is a common ailment of those engaged in criminal investigation and scene investigation work.
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Having worked as a detective, one can’t help but bring work scenes into their dreams.
When Jiang An opened his eyes, it was already 3 PM.
He stood up from the sofa, went to the bathroom to wash his face, made a cup of coffee, and returned to the sofa by the coffee table.
The case file in front of him had been viewed by him almost a third of the way, but there were still two-thirds left to review.
This thick case file indeed required a lot of time.
In Jiang An’s view, reviewing the case file is the best way to understand the original scene.
After all, time passes, especially after trace evidence disappears, it’s impossible to recreate the scene.
Jiang An took a sip of coffee, sat on the sofa and opened the case file to continue reading.
The photos in front of him depicted the process of autopsy.
Jiang An was a forensic doctor and had a natural familiarity with corpses.
However, these three photos in front of him made him feel heavy-hearted.
Especially when he saw the child, he felt a pang of sympathy.
In the thick case file, there were nearly a hundred photos of the bodies, each showing different content.
When he turned to the last photo, Jiang An closed his eyes slightly, and the entire process of the autopsy appeared in his mind.
The cause of death for both the male and female bodies was a rupture in the neck.
However, the male body had fewer stab wounds, while the female body had chaotic and numerous wounds.
Suddenly, Jiang An had a question: Why were the stab wounds on these two victims different?
If it was the same perpetrator, what was the reason for the discrepancy?
This was Jiang An’s most intuitive feeling after seeing the photos, and also the doubt he was most eager to resolve.
Then, his gaze fell again on the photos of the child.
Despite the marks of damage caused to the mouth, the neck had multiple sticky blood traces.
Moreover, judging by the distribution of blood traces, it fully matched the process of being strangled.
However, the cause of death for this child was mechanical asphyxia due to pressure to the nose and mouth, not death caused by injury to the neck.
Why was this?
Another question suddenly arose in Jiang An’s mind.
Starting from the body, combining the scene, and referencing the case file is Jiang An’s primary method for scene investigation and is the basic principle of his analysis of all cases.
Looking at the three corpse photos in front of him, Jiang An felt that this case seemed exceptionally tricky.
Jiang An remained fully immersed, pondering how to find a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, at the door of Mr. Li’s office, Instructor Zhang Chao knocked: "Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
"Mr. Li, I have something to discuss with you."
Instructor Zhang carried a document as he walked in.
"I have something specific to report to you."
"The police department across Jiangcheng is preparing to select the city’s most beautiful police officer."
"Our criminal investigation department has one spot, who do you think would be best suited for this spot?"
Li Jian took the document and glanced down at it.
"You manage the team mentality, who do you think is more suitable?"
Instructor Zhang sat down and said, "I believe there are quite a few individuals who meet the criteria, but there are not many who can truly clinch the title."
"I recommend two, let Mr. Li decide."
"Please go ahead?"
"One is Jiang An, his work ability is outstanding, and his performance is evident to all."
"Not only has he gained recognition from our criminal investigation department’s peers, but he’s also received high praise from the municipal bureau’s committee."
"Especially, leaders at the Ministry of Public Security are fondly supportive of him. I believe if he runs for the election, the probability of success is quite high."
Li Jian nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Who else?"
"The other is Zhang Yean."
"Zhang Yean has worked in our criminal investigation team for many years, although not exceptionally prominent in skills, she has a good reputation and is proficient in practical and hard work, she’s also a decent candidate."
Li Jian paused to think for a moment before saying, "Both of them are pretty fit in terms of age, and their political integrity is also up to standard."
"In comparison, I think Jiang An is the stronger candidate!"
"Let’s choose Jiang An."
"Great! That’s what I thought too."
"Haha, Comrade Jiang An is excellent, this is not merely recognition of his personal abilities."
"Promoting him now is essentially promoting and rewarding our criminal investigation department."
"Alright, Mr. Li!"
"I’ll go find him, let him provide us with the necessary materials, I’ll personally refine them."
"Instructor Zhang, your scope is a bit high."
"My role as an instructor is to manage the team, and Jiang An is someone we cultivated personally."
"I’m quite familiar with his situation."
"Alright, thanks for your hard work."
Zhang Chao said with a smile, "If we nominate Jiang An for Jiangcheng’s most beautiful police officer, I believe there won’t be anyone unsatisfied within the criminal investigation team, after all, his reputation has already spread."
"Sometimes when I walk or run by the river, people ask about Jiang An."
Li Jian nodded.
"This young man is willing to work, and works hard, and of course, he deserves this."
