Chapter 276: Chapter 179: The Source of Trace Evidence!

”The other one is Liu Dong from the same village!”

”If you can identify him face-to-face, I promise I can apply for a reduced sentence for you.”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chuang slightly raised his head and looked at Mr. Li.

After a moment, he smiled, ”I was the only one during the crime.”

Mr. Li glanced at him again and shook his head a bit helplessly.

He was thinking, this suspect is as tough as a stone in a latrine.

Meanwhile.

Jiang An walked into the primary crime scene holding a high-beam flashlight.

For the sake of scene protection, the local police station immediately cut off the power.

Standing at the entrance of the living room, under the illumination of the high-beam flashlight, the chalk outline on the ground was clearly visible.

Following the direction of the white beam, Jiang An was rapidly observing.

Wan and Zhang Yean stood to the left and right of Jiang An.

Zhang Yean looked around, recalling the first crime scene photos in the files, still feeling uneasy.

Even though she fully believed in science, the instinctive fear was hard to suppress.

Wan watched for a while and said, ”Brother, what can we find in this dark night?”

Jiang An answered, ”Time is tight, we must quickly find the trace of the second suspect.”

Wan sighed, a bit disheartened.

”This scene has probably been examined no less than 6 times.”

”If there were valuable clues, they would have been discovered by now.”

Jiang An paid no mind and walked straight in.

From the living room entrance, tea table, clutter...

Every object appearing before Jiang An was carefully observed.

minutes later, Jiang An got up and walked into the bedroom.

Standing at the bedroom door, he continued to observe sharply, like an eagle’s eyes, leaving no detail unnoticed.

Bed, stool, wardrobe, money...

In a moment, all the items in the bedroom presented themselves in Jiang An’s mind.

Crime scene reconstruction is about turning static physical evidence into dynamic behavioral processes.

This is Jiang An’s major principle of crime scene analysis.

minutes later, a scene floated into Jiang An’s mind.

Two suspects entered the bedroom.

One six-fingered suspect controlled the female victim and finally used a stool to kill her.

The other suspect was responsible for searching for valuables inside and accidentally left a school parking tag in the corner.

If looking for trace evidence of the six-fingered suspect inside, where would it appear?

In the process of scene reconstruction, Jiang An was deep in thought.

Trace evidence is left when there’s contact.

To find traces of the six-fingered suspect, one must search within his range of activity.

Instantly, Jiang An slightly opened his eyes, having a clear direction in his heart.

He walked forward two steps and crouched beside the bed.

With the help of the high-beam flashlight, Jiang An focused his gaze on the ground.

At the point of his gaze, he could see speckled blood stains.

These specks of blood should have been formed when the female victim was struck on the head while upright.

Seeing Jiang An crouch on the ground, Wan and Zhang Yean slowly walked over.

”Brother, what are you looking for on the ground?”

Zhang Yean asked softly.

”I’m looking for clues.”

Wan pouted, ”Brother, can you be more specific?”

”I haven’t found anything yet, it’s not specific.”

minutes later, Jiang An suddenly brightened up.

He seemed to have clarified the whole idea.

In front of him, several drops of blood caught his attention.

Jiang An held the high-beam flashlight, and the beam focused on the few drops of blood before him.

After a long time, Zhang Yean curiously asked, ”Brother, is there something wrong with these few drops of blood?”

Jiang An nodded gently.

After observing for a while, Zhang Yean was full of confusion.

”What’s the problem?”

”Yeah, I can’t see it either.”

Jiang An raised his hand to point, speaking in a deep voice, ”Sister, Brother, don’t know if you’ve noticed that these drops of blood are quite special!”

”Special?”

Jiang An explained, ”Compared to the surrounding specks of blood, these drops seem fewer and much smaller in area.”

After a moment of thought, Zhang Yean and Wan looked at each other.

”What do you mean?”

Jiang An replied, ”From the reason these bloodstains formed, they were all dropped from high places.”

”In other words, these blood stains very likely flowed down from the female victim’s head.”

”Blood flowing from the same place should be similar in size, but why are these few stains so small in range?”

Lastly, Jiang An spoke in a deep voice, ”I suspect after these drops fell, they were contacted by other objects, leading to part of the blood being carried away.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yean and Wan suddenly realized.

Zhang Yean excitedly said, ”Brother, I understand your meaning.”

”You’re suggesting these blood stains were probably taken by the six-fingered suspect.”

Jiang An nodded, ”The female victim was not wearing shoes, there were no bloodstains on her soles.”

”Then, in this case, the medium could very likely be the six-fingered suspect.”

Wan also gave a thumbs-up, looking at the ground, ”Brother, admire! Admire!”

”If it hadn’t been for your guidance today, many might have overlooked these bloodstains.”

Jiang An’s lips slightly curved.

”If you don’t carefully look at the blood stains on the ground, it’s really easy to miss.”

Wan curiously asked, ”Brother, assuming the suspect’s shoes had bloodstains on the soles, after such a long time, would the stains still be there?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yean also appeared worried.

”More than a month has passed, this is very challenging for laboratory tests.”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang An said, ”Shoes often rub against the ground, many traces cannot be tested, but if there are grooves on the soles, the hidden blood stains might

present testing conditions.”

Just after this suggestion was made, Zhang Yean and Wan seemed to rekindle hope for concluding the case.

Zhang Yean eagerly asked, ”Brother, where do we go now?”

Jiang An replied, ”Immediately issue a search warrant and search Liu Dong’s residence, retrieve all his shoes, and test them in the lab.”

Immediately, the three swiftly left the death scene.

At this moment, in the interrogation room of the criminal investigation team.

Facing this tough young man, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao had already tried all methods.

No matter soft or hard tactics, he was not buying it.

Finally, Mr. Li patted Mr. Zhao, signaling the end of this interrogation session.

As Mr. Zhao turned, he angrily said, ”I don’t believe that by saying nothing, you’ll protect your accomplice.”

Watching the two leave the interrogation room, Wang Chuang’s lips slightly curved, recalling an incident 5 years ago.

It was a hot summer evening, swimming in the river with villagers, suddenly a leg cramp, the suffocation of death nearly fainted him, at a critical moment Liu Dong carried him to the shore...

Li Jian and Mr. Zhao came to the hallway.

The two men comprehended each other wordlessly, while puffing smoke.

After a while, Mr. Zhao asked, ”Mr. Li, what now?”

Mr. Li blew smoke rings, ”Let’s both just calmly think.”

”Meeting a warrior bravely wins the narrow path!”

”In such critical moments, one must stay calm.”

Moments later, Mr. Li suddenly asked, ”Where is Mr. Jiang?”

Mr. Zhao answered, ”I remember before the interrogation, I heard them were in the evidence lab.”

”Let’s go find them for some discussion.”

Just as the words fell, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan walked over.

Mr. Li extinguished the cigarette, ”Mr. Jiang, just in time!”

”We were about to find you for advice on the next investigation direction.”
