The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 602 - 337: A High-Level Task Force Operation!
The entire office fell silent in an instant.
The case being reopened was like a dish of cold leftovers reheated again and again.
Even reheated, it’s hard to cover up its tasteless nature.
Especially for the detectives who have expended a lot of energy on this case, each restart of the investigation feels like repeating a tiring journey.
Although everyone hopes to eventually solve the case, no one wants to continue going in circles on a case that has been investigated multiple times.
After a long pause, Mr. Ma finally broke the silence.
"This case is no trivial matter."
He glanced around at everyone present, his gaze finally resting on Jiang An.
"The two points of doubt Jiang An just raised are very valuable."
"From my years of administrative experience, there are indeed aspects of this case that are worth delving into."
Mr. Ma took a sip of his tea and continued, "Although the previous conclusions went through numerous reviews and even received expert approval from the province."
"We must always remember: in the face of truth, no authority should be a reason for us to stop thinking."
"If, after our thorough investigation, we confirm it is indeed an accidental death, it would be the best endorsement of the original conclusion."
"Conversely, if we blindly trust the established conclusion, it would do our investigation more harm than good."
Listening to Mr. Ma’s heartfelt words, the three nodded in agreement. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Mr. Ma suddenly turned serious, "I’ve decided to establish a task force and will personally take the role of leader."
"Jiang An will be the deputy leader, and Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang will give their full cooperation."
"I will personally oversee this case, and we must thoroughly investigate without leaving any doubts!"
His eyes swept over everyone present, "This case must be thoroughly investigated to give an answer to everyone concerned."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian, Zhang Chao, and Jiang An immediately stood up, responding in unison, "Yes, Mr. Ma!"
Mr. Ma nodded in satisfaction, then gestured with his hand, "Quickly prepare."
"Cracking a case requires racing against time; every detail could be a crucial clue."
As they walked out of the director’s office, their steps became heavy.
In the corridor, Li Jian patted Jiang An’s shoulder, saying in a complex tone, "Jiang An, we’ve checked this case at least five times, without missing any inspections or interviews."
"Personally, I think the original conclusion should be correct."
"However, since Mr. Ma places such importance on it, let’s follow the leadership’s instructions.
He paused for a moment and added, "You’re the deputy leader now, so if you need to mobilize any resources from the criminal investigation team, just let me know."
Zhang Chao chimed in, "Yes, we’ll definitely give our full cooperation."
"But, considering the special nature of this case, I suggest controlling the range of people in the know."
Jiang An nodded gratefully, "Thank you both for your support."
"Actually, the preliminary work was indeed very solid, with the scene investigation and autopsy report quite comprehensive."
"I’d like to first ask for assistance from Zhang Yean and Wan, as the three of us work quite well together and can be more efficient."
"If additional manpower is needed, I will report promptly."
Li Jianchang nodded, saying with a profound meaning, "What Mr. Ma said makes sense; even if the final conclusion is the same, re-investigating it is a review of the preliminary work."
"In our police work, the most important thing is to leave no doubts."
"Rest assured, Mr. Li, I’ll report any progress immediately."
Jiang An solemnly promised.
The three exchanged a glance, each seeing the determination to solve the case in the other’s eyes, but they couldn’t conceal their complex feelings about this "leftover" case.
Back in the office, Jiang An immediately picked up the desk phone and dialed the internal number.
Ten minutes later, there was a soft knock on the office door.
Following a "come in," Zhang Yean and Wan entered one after another.
Zhang Yean still looked competent, with the cuffs of her shirt neatly rolled up to her elbows.
Wan, on the other hand, had a slight look of confusion on his face.
"Please have a seat, senior and brother,"
Jiang An indicated the chairs opposite them, then said seriously, "Just now Mr. Ma held an emergency meeting and decided to set up a task force for this cold case."
"Mr. Ma will personally serve as the leader, and I as the deputy leader."
We need to comprehensively review this case."
Upon hearing this, Wan’s eyes immediately widened, and he almost dropped the pen in his hand.
"Hasn’t this case been closed for a long time?"
"Has some new clue appeared?"
Her voice was full of surprise, her brows unconsciously furrowing.
Jiang An did not answer immediately but pushed the file on the table forward, "I’m talking about this old case from three years ago, take a look first."
Wan took the file, quickly flipping through it, suddenly nodding as if realizing something.
"I remember this case! It’s the one where the family kept petitioning, right? I remember in the file..."
He stopped mid-sentence, looking up at Jiang An, "Are we really reopening the investigation?"
"I participated in the scene investigation when I first joined."
"From the evidence back then, the case should have been clear."
Zhang Yean paused, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the file, "Why the sudden re-investigation now?"
"Yeah," Wan couldn’t help but interject, his tone noticeably puzzled, "And why is the scale so high this time?"
"I remember the last two reviews were led by Mr. Li, and now Mr. Ma is personally leading?"
