Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Lying to the Police?

The three girls looked at each other, and one of the girls dressed provocatively said, ”What do you mean? Did we break the law?”

Zhang Yean said, ”Whether you broke the law or not, don’t you have any idea?”

At that moment, Li Jian, Jiang An, and Wu You also walked in.

Jiang An glanced at the three girls, dressed flamboyantly, throwing off an aura of excessive makeup of their student days.

Zhang Yean saw the three and knowingly nodded.

Then she handed over the digital camera that she had just used to photograph the calves.

Before the inspection, Jiang An specifically instructed that if any abnormalities were found on the girls’ leg skin, they must be photographed immediately to preserve the evidence.

After all, if the case goes to court in the future, solid evidence will definitely be needed.

Furthermore, wounds on the skin have a certain healing pattern: first the scab forms, then peels off, skin repairs, and finally the color is indistinguishable once fully healed.

Such fleeting evidence is best recorded through photos.

Jiang An took the digital camera and observed carefully.

Indeed.

All three girls had signs of scabs peeling off on their legs.

At the same time, Jiang An noticed these peeling scabs had distinct characteristics.

The direction of scab shedding was linear distribution.

Upon closer observation, three faint traces could be seen.

Based on human finger length characteristics, Jiang An instantly understood.

Index finger, middle finger, ring finger.

When we stretch our hands open, we can see that the index, middle, and ring fingers are the longest.

Like when we were young and fought, extending our hands to grab someone often left scratches with these three fingers.

The skin marks on the three girls’ legs fit perfectly with being grabbed by someone else’s hand.

The key point.

These scratches were low, some even just above the ankles.

Normally, it’s hard for someone to leave scratches so low on the body.

Especially since the direction of these scratches was upward diagonally.

Analyzing from position and direction, Jiang An was already certain that these three girls were standing next to the deceased Li Rui at the time of the incident.

The deceased Li Rui grabbed their calves when she fell.

These three were the real culprits.

After observing, Jiang An looked up at Li Jian, their gazes met, and Jiang An nodded.

This look of affirmation showed their mutual understanding.

With such crucial evidence, Li Jian’s gaze gradually became sharper.

”This isn’t the right place to state the crime; let’s talk elsewhere.”

As soon as the words fell, one of the girls said, ”What are you going to do? My uncle is the head of logistics.”

Li Jian’s mouth curled up.

”So you’re his niece, huh?”

”That’s great! Saves me the trouble of investigating.”

”You’re our key focus.”

Instantly, the girl became even angrier.

”I’m not going with you; I want my uncle to come over.”

Li Jian’s expression grew more and more serious.

”Don’t say your uncle is the head of logistics; even if it’s the principal or the director of education, I won’t be intimidated.”

Li Jian let the words fly and directly took the three girls into the police car.

Just as the police car door was about to close, the head of logistics ran over breathlessly, blocking the front.

”What are you doing?”

”Why are you taking my niece?”

Li Jian quickly opened the door and got out.

”Why? Is your niece a good student?”

”Whether she’s a good student or not has nothing to do with breaking the law!”

While speaking, the head of logistics tried to move forward and open the door.

Jiang An originally had a poor impression of this person.

He quickly got out of the car and stepped forward, saying, ”What’s your plan? Will you obstruct law enforcement violently?”

”What’s wrong if I do?”

”Come! Hit me if you can?”

”Give me a minor injury; you’d have to remove your police uniform.”

Jiang An’s mouth twitched as he smiled and said, ”You know quite a lot.”

”Believe me, if I cut you a hundred times, it’ll still only be a minor injury.”

”You... you... this is turning black into white.”

Just then, the principal walked over angrily.

He reprimanded, ”If you’re hindering the police investigation here, pack up and get out.”

Immediately, the head of logistics became much more docile.

”Principal, my niece may not be good at academics, but she’s not a criminal.”

As soon as the words fell, the principal turned and said, ”Li Jian, these three students are still young, please be sure to distinguish carefully.”

Li Jian said, ”Principal, rest assured!”

”If they are innocent, we will clear their names.”

”But.”

”If they are guilty, I will not let them off.”

Watching the police car disappear at the entrance of the middle school, the head of logistics quietly asked, ”Principal, they’re messing this up.”

”How can Li Rui’s death be related to my niece?”

The principal glanced at the head of logistics and said sternly, ”Whether there’s a relation isn’t up to you or me to decide.”

”In my impression, Li Jian isn’t someone who messes things up.”

”However, I’m a bit perplexed as to why there’s a 180-degree turn in handling this matter within just 2 hours.”

minutes later, in the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team’s meeting room.

The eight large characters ”Honesty Leads to Leniency, Resistance Leads to Severity” were prominently displayed.

The three girls were taken to different interrogation rooms.

Compared to the other two girls, the head of logistics’ niece was much more agitated.

Li Jian decided to start with the toughest nut.

Inside Interrogation Room 1.

Li Jian and Jiang An began their questioning.

Li Jian asked, ”Name, age, where do you live?”

After a while, the girl spoke, ”Yang Na, 16 years old, living in Shanshui District.”

”Do you know why you were brought here?”

”Officer, I was just attending class. How would I know?”

”Don’t pretend to be clueless!”

Li Jian lifted his hand and tapped on the table, speaking seriously, ”What’s with the scratches on your legs?”

Yang Na’s calves tensed up slightly.

”Scratched myself!”

”Scratched yourself?”

Li Jian asked again.

”Yes! Went jogging last week at night, got bitten by mosquitoes, and scratched myself.”

”Where did you jog? Can anyone confirm?”

”By the river; it was just me.”

”Is that so!”

Li Jian shifted his tone, saying, ”Did the other two students in the room also jog and scratch themselves?”

Suddenly, Yang Na lifted her head, her eyes widening.

”I don’t know!”

”Don’t know?”

”Why are the scratches on all three of your legs in the same position and shape?”

”I now have reason to believe the scratches on your legs were all made by one person.”

”That person is the deceased Li Rui!”

Instantly, Yang Na’s eyes widened, staring firmly at Li Jian.

Her hands clasped tightly together, and her legs trembled unconsciously.
