The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

Chapter 157: Chapter 136: Major Case Solved, Double Victory!

”So, I thought of using fake death to escape legal punishment.”

”Who is the deceased?”

”He is a beggar near the construction site, mentally troubled, and about the same height as me.”

”I took him to the security room that night and let him drink a lot.”

”After he got drunk, I put him on my bed.”

”To create the illusion of an accidental fire, I deliberately poured water into the surge protector of the kettle, causing a short circuit.”

Li Jian asked, ”Did you start the fire in the security lounge?”

Zhang Biao nodded, ”I used the kettle surge protector to ignite clothes.”

”At the same time, to make him burn more thoroughly, I also covered the beggar with many clothes and ignited them.”

”Did you use alcohol or gasoline accelerants?”

”No! I used candles to ignite clothes and mosquito nets.”

Hearing this, Li Jian recalled Jiang An’s judgment, which was almost completely consistent.

Then, Li Jian continued to ask, ”Did you specifically place the liquor and snacks in the cabinet?”

Zhang Biao nodded and said, ”That beggar himself drank from the bottle, leaving many fingerprints, deliberately left for you.”

”What about the bloodstains?”

Zhang Biao replied, ”At that time, the beggar accidentally cut his finger while opening the liquor, and some blood got onto it.”

”How did you leave the construction site after the security room caught fire?”

”There is surveillance at every entry and exit of the construction site, I climbed over a low fence to get out.”

After a long time, Li Jian turned to Chen He, ”Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to ask?”

Chen He said, ”Nothing else, I’ll have Zhang Yean collect his fingerprints later.”

Li Jian nodded.

Five minutes later, Li Jian and Chen He walked out of the interrogation room.

Both had a look of relief.

”Case solved, the real culprit captured!”

”Everyone’s hard work paid off!”

Everyone cheered joyfully.

Chen He said, ”Zhang Yean, please collect Zhang Biao’s fingerprints and compare them with the tools found at the scene!”

”Okay! I’ll go right away!”

”This time they’ll match 100% for sure.”

Li Jian approached and patted Jiang An’s shoulder.

”Well done!”

”Again, your excellent performance.”

Jiang An smiled, ”Mr. Li, we’re all comrades in the same trench!”

”The victory is one we all achieved together!”

Li Jian raised his hand to check his watch; it was already 1 AM.

He said, ”After Zhang Yean finishes collecting fingerprints, let’s all go out and grab a late-night snack to fill our stomachs.”

Wan laughed and said, ”Captain, did you bring your wallet?”

Li Jian replied, ”Didn’t bring it! I’m treating, you pay!”

”Haha, I didn’t bring mine either!”

At this moment, Zhang Yean ran out looking shocked.

”Mr. Li, there’s a problem!”

”What do you mean?”

”Zhang Biao’s fingerprints don’t match those on the knife handle!”

”What?”

”Are you sure?”

”Junior Sister, don’t scare me!”

”Could it be that the real culprit is someone else?”

.....

The previously joyful mood plunged back into the depths.

Li Jian, Chen He, and Wan all looked incredulous.

After a moment of thought, Jiang An said, ”From Zhang Biao’s earlier statement, Liu Jun took this fruit knife.”

”Could the fingerprints on the fruit knife actually be those of the deceased Liu Jun?”

Zhang Yean said, ”I recall we already collected Liu Jun’s fingerprints when examining his body.”

Li Jian urged, ”Go! Compare them immediately!”

Three minutes later, five people quickly arrived at the evidence room.

Li Jian was very anxious inside.

Just after leaving the interrogation room, he was thinking of immediately reporting the solved case to Mr. Ma.

Is this going to turn into another blunder!

Zhang Yean quickly found the evidence box from Liu Jun’s death case and pulled out the fingerprint card.

At this moment, everyone stared at the two fingerprint cards on the desk.

After 30 seconds, Zhang Yean turned and smiled, ”Perfect match!”

Instantly, Li Jian laughed heartily.

Chen He said with relief, ”It was just a false alarm.”

Zhang Yean said, ”I guess Zhang Biao’s fingerprints were damaged outdoors.”

”If it wasn’t for this fire, we might not have found him.”

Li Jian said, ”He’s a smart guy, but he used his intelligence in the wrong place.”

He then looked at Jiang An, nodding in satisfaction.

Once again, it’s him!

In critical moments, remain calm and analyze.

”Jiang An, I’m adding a chicken drumstick for you tonight!”

Zhang Yean glanced at Jiang An and said, ”Captain, I want a chicken drumstick too.”

Li Jian was in a good mood, ”Everyone gets an extra chicken drumstick.”

The next morning, after getting up and freshening up, Jiang An walked out of the dorm for officers.

As he reached the main entrance, two senior criminal investigators came over to greet him.

”Morning, Brother Jiang An!”

”Morning, Brother!”

Jiang An went to a breakfast shop across from the police headquarters and ordered a basket of soup dumplings and a bowl of porridge.

Just as he picked up a soup dumpling, a young man approached and said, ”Brother Jiang An, I’ve already paid for you.”

Before he could express his thanks, the young man had already left.

Jiang An looked around and noticed several familiar faces from the bureau secretly glancing at him.

He felt a bit puzzled for a moment.

Why are the colleagues all being so kind to me?

I haven’t done anything major!

Just participated in solving a few cases.

After breakfast, Jiang An arrived at the entrance of the police headquarters.

Just in time to see Wan and another officer coming in.

”Morning, Brother Wan!”

Before Wan could speak, the accompanying officer said, ”Brother Jiang An, when you have time, I’d like to learn from you.”

”Me? Brother, you’re flattering me.”

”I still need to grow and improve!”

Wan patted Jiang An on the shoulder.

”Brother, if you keep learning, criminals might just surrender on seeing you.”

Jiang An chuckled, ”Brother, that’s too much!”

”I’m a forensic officer, not a mage.”

Wan teased, ”You’re even more formidable than a mage.”

From the Jiangcheng City Bureau’s main entrance to the criminal investigation team’s office, many people actively greeted Jiang An along the way.

Jiang An softly asked, ”Brother Wan, it seems like everyone is quite courteous today.”

Wan turned and replied, ”Jiang An, everyone heard about the case’s resolution last night.”

”According to unofficial sources, the bureau is very satisfied with our speed and plans to commend the criminal investigation team collectively.”

”Remember, the honors don’t just go on your record; the bonuses are substantial too.”

”Now, many people in the bureau want to apply to join the criminal investigation team.”

Jiang An smiled, ”Our criminal investigation team is quite popular now.”

”Absolutely! We’ve solved quite a few big cases in a row.”

At this moment, Zhang Yean walked over.

”What are you guys talking about?”

Wan smiled, ”We were chatting in private.”

Zhang Yean smiled, ”The admin just notified us there’s a criminal investigation team meeting soon.”

At 9:30 AM, in the criminal investigation team meeting room.

Li Jian said, ”Comrades, let’s begin the meeting!”

”Today, Mr. Ma has also taken the time out of his busy schedule to attend the meeting here and announce something important.”

”Now, I’ll hand the time over to Mr. Ma.”

Mr. Ma raised his hand to pat the microphone.

”Comrades on the criminal investigation front, thank you for your hard work!”

”Last night, I was informed that Liu Jun’s murder case was successfully resolved, and I was extremely thrilled.”

”From starting the investigation to cracking the case, not even 72 hours have passed.”

”Moreover, the suspect in this case tried to use a feigned death tactic to evade investigation.”

”But under the ’Eyes of Golden Flame’ of our criminal investigation team, we saw through his deception.”

”The investigation process of this case was very complicated, and success wasn’t easily achieved.”

”Here, on behalf of the Jiangcheng City Bureau’s leadership, I congratulate you all.”

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted in the criminal investigation team meeting room.

Once the applause calmed down, Mr. Ma said, ”The resolution of this case couldn’t have been achieved without collective effort, but it also highlighted outstanding criminal talents.”

Then, Mr. Ma looked at Jiang An, ”Especially Jiang An, who has shown particularly outstanding performance in recent significant cases, making remarkable contributions.”

”In view of Jiang An’s outstanding abilities in solving criminal cases, after discussion among the bureau’s leadership, we are forming a homicide task force in the criminal investigation team and appointing Jiang An as the team leader.”

Finally, Mr. Ma said, ”I propose we all applaud together to extend our congratulations!”

The meeting room erupted again with warm applause, and everyone smiled at Jiang An.

In an instant, Jiang An was taken aback, unable to react for a moment.

He was still just an intern officer, and now he’s become the leader of the homicide task force?

Then, Mr. Ma smiled and said, ”Now, let’s have Jiang An say a few words.”

Jiang An suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken.

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

”Thank you, Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, for your recognition and encouragement.”

”Thank you to all the senior officers for your care and guidance.”

”I feel extremely excited and thrilled at this moment.”

”Investigate a thousand miles, solve cases across the world!”

”No matter how far, as long as there’s a criminal case, you’ll find the presence of criminal police.”

”We will definitely remember our mission, to outsmart and fight against criminals, and earn that precious honor of being a criminal police officer!”
