The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 589 - 331: One Arrow, Three Hawks—Shocking the Entire Province!
10:00 AM sharp.
A severely decomposed, almost mummified body was unearthed.
Notably, despite the body being heavily weathered, the logo "Hongyun Crane" on the clothing was still clearly visible.
Upon seeing this logo, Li Jian immediately realized the key clue to the case.
He said, "I remember that the excavator had ’Hongyun Excavator’ written on it; this is no coincidence."
The police station chief, Wang Yong, stared at the mummy, his expression complex, "I never thought... it’s less than 200 meters from our station."
"This body has been lying here for so long without being discovered."
Li Jian stepped forward, gently patted his shoulder to comfort him, "That’s how police work is."
"Sometimes it’s not that we don’t want to do it or that we’re incapable, but simply that we’re unaware of the problem’s existence."
"Don’t blame yourself too much; at least now the case has made significant progress."
"Now, he can finally rest in peace."
Li Jian continued, then turned to the chief and asked, "The body has been found, but the autopsy work requires a professional venue."
"Can we borrow your local forensic autopsy center?"
"No problem!"
Chief Wang Yong immediately responded, "I’ll contact the autopsy center right away and have them provide the venue and equipment free of charge."
"I’m incredibly grateful."
Subsequently, Li Jian, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan proceeded to the local forensic autopsy center.
As soon as they entered, they were warmly received.
The local forensic experts not only prepared all the necessary tools but also indicated that they would assist Jiang An throughout the process.
The director of the forensic room, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, greeted them with a broad smile, "Mr. Jiang, I’ve heard so much about you!"
Jiang An was somewhat surprised, "Are we... acquainted?"
"Haha, you don’t know me, but I’ve heard about you plenty."
The forensic director said excitedly, "Your outstanding accomplishments in criminal investigation, especially your ’Hands of God’ autopsy skills, have become legendary in the provincial forensic system."
"Your cases were even used as educational models at the last provincial seminar on complex cases."
"Meeting you today is a rare privilege!"
After speaking, he turned to Chief Wang Yong and said, "Thanks to the chief for arranging this meeting, or I wouldn’t have had the chance to consult Mr. Jiang in person."
Wang Yong chuckled, "Giving roses to others leaves fragrance on the hands!"
Li Jian glanced at Jiang An and teased, "Mr. Jiang, it seems your reputation is bigger than we imagined."
Getting such enthusiastic help while working out of town is truly rare.
Borrowing someone else’s autopsy center not only occupies the venue and equipment but also brings subsequent cleaning and disinfection work for them.
Jiang An expressed his gratitude multiple times, "Thank you immensely."
The forensic room director said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, could we possibly have your guidance?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Let us handle the operation while you offer pointers."
"Mummified bodies like these are rare here; I’ve only encountered two instances in my eight years of work, and this is the third."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
"No problem!"
Jiang An readily agreed, "Let’s work together; it facilitates better communication."
"That’s fantastic! Dissecting alongside Mr. Jiang is an enormous honor."
Immediately, the two dressed in protective gear and quickly got down to work.
Jiang An managed the operation while explaining every step and focusing points meticulously.
His skilled "double-handed autopsy technique" left the forensic experts in awe.
Within 30 minutes, the examination and autopsy of this mummified body were completed successfully.
When Jiang An removed his protective gear, Li Jian approached and patted his shoulder.
"Mr. Jiang, you’ve worked hard; we owe this success to you..."
"Indeed!"
Wan also joined them, handing over a bottle of chilled Dongpeng Special Drink.
"If it weren’t for your reputation, we wouldn’t be enjoying this VIP treatment."
Jiang An was a bit surprised, "Wow, they even have chilled beverages here?"
The forensic room director said with a smile, "Ever since we heard Mr. Jiang was coming, everyone has been especially enthusiastic."
"You see, lots of cold drinks have been prepared especially."
"How kind, it’s been a bother to you all."
Jiang An felt a bit bashful.
"Don’t mention it!"
The forensic director sincerely said, "Today, the professional knowledge you shared is priceless; they gained so much."
Hearing this, Wan cheekily chimed in, "So it seems we’re even then!"
These words made everyone burst into laughter, lightening the atmosphere significantly.
Around 11:30 AM, Wang Yong enthusiastically suggested, "Mr. Li, why don’t we eat together before you leave?"
"I apologize, we need to get back and handle the case."
"We’ve already caused you much trouble since last night," Mr. Li politely declined.
"Not at all!"
Wang Yong shook his hands vigorously, "Your visit today is a rare learning opportunity for us."
"Firstly, I had the privilege of seeing my former mentor, and secondly, our forensic experts gained many insights on dissection techniques from Mr. Jiang."
"It’s a double blessing!"
"According to the regulations, we can’t drink alcohol at lunch; how about we just have a simple meal?"
At that moment, Mr. Li’s stomach embarrassingly growled.
He looked around and saw the exhaustion on his team members’ faces, then turned to consult Jiang An’s opinion, "Jiang An, shall we..."
Jiang An knowingly nodded, "Let’s go along with our host."
"Besides, everyone needs to replenish their energy; we can hit the road after eating."
Soon, the group drove over to a modest-looking rustic restaurant.
From the outside, the decor was plain, but upon entering, they found the environment neat and bright.
