Chapter 421: Chapter 248: Scratches on the Deceased’s Hand (Part 2)

Just as Jiang An was deep in thought, Zhang Yean suddenly said, ”The current of this river is slow, it’s a depression in the river.”

”I think there might be something at the bottom of the water here.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang An turned his head and glanced at the river.

Suddenly, the process of He Biao’s body examination flashed through his mind.

He Biao’s mobile phone, watch, and keys were all with him.

Besides these personal belongings, there should be nothing else.

Immediately after, Jiang An slightly shook his head and looked around.

Then he turned around and walked to the riverside, discovering a small path paved with red bricks.

After looking left and right, he saw cameras at both ends of the path.

However, the cameras were quite far away.

Two minutes later, he picked up the phone and dialed Li Jian’s number.

”Hello, Mr. Li.”

Jiang An’s voice trembled slightly, with an uncontrollable excitement.

”Jiang An, how’s it going?”

Li Jian asked eagerly, his voice coming through clearly from the receiver, filled with tension and anticipation.

Jiang An nodded. Although Li Jian couldn’t see it, he habitually made the gesture.

”Mr. Li, we’ve made a significant discovery here.”

”After searching, we’ve found a suspicious drowning point.”

As he spoke, Jiang An’s face was brimming with a smile, his chest gently rising with excitement.

Upon hearing these words, Li Jian was very pleased.

He was already sweating profusely.

At this moment, such good news suddenly came, he felt it was more refreshing than timely help.

Immediately, he clenched his fist and said excitedly, ”Where is it?”

As he spoke, his voice was so loud it seemed to pierce through the receiver.

Jiang An waved his hand by the riverside.

At this moment, Li Jian looked up and saw the position of his arm.

”Okay, I’ll be right over.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Jian’s face was all smiles.

”Let’s go, we don’t have to endure here anymore.”

He patted Wan on the shoulder beside him, his eyes showing relaxation and joy.

Wan listened and thought it was a joke.

He jokingly said, ”Captain, aren’t you trying to make me happy?”

”We still have a long way to go.”

He shook the map in his hand, leaving a trail of sweat stains where his fingers slid across the map.

”Indeed, we haven’t explored many places on this side.”

”But, Jiang An has made significant progress.”

”Did he find it?”

”He just called and said he found a suspicious drowning point. Let’s go and have a look.”

Li Jian’s eyes sparkled as he walked forward quickly, as if there were treasures ahead he’d dreamt of.

”Great, I knew with Jiang An here, any case is no problem.”

”Captain, let’s go take a look and see if it really is, further investigation is still needed.”

Wan followed closely, also smiling, his steps much lighter.

Meanwhile, Mr. Qin and Zhang were leaving the criminal investigation team by car.

After a phone investigation, they found Li Xiang was a worker at Jiang City Brick Factory.

And, he was the supervisor of the third workshop.

The car had just left the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau when Zhang, holding the steering wheel, said, ”Mr. Qin, do you think he is a suspicious person?”

He glanced sideways at Mr. Qin, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Mr. Qin nodded, his gaze firmly on the road ahead.

He took a deep breath of smoke.

”From my personal perspective, I think he’s very suspicious.”

”At least the two of them have a secret relationship.”

”Moreover, making this call at that time definitely raises a significant issue.”

Just after he spoke, Zhang turned his head and said, ”Mr. Qin, is it possible that the woman was a bit scared during police interrogation and specially called a friend to express her feelings?”

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Qin frowned, seemingly thinking about the reasonableness of this possibility.

”There is such a possibility, but how likely is it?”

”Furthermore, over the past six months, they have frequent call records, which fully indicates their unusual relationship.”

”For people with such unusual relationships, we cannot rule out that he is a suspect.”

”Moreover, the time of He Biao’s death is very close to the time of this call.”

”Is this merely a coincidence?”

Mr. Qin slightly shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of questioning.

Zhang, holding the steering wheel, heard Mr. Qin’s analysis and quickly said, ”If we analyze from your perspective, his suspicion is very high.”

Over here, Li Jian and Wan quickly arrived at the opposite bank of the river.

However, the two were already panting.

Especially Wan, almost out of breath.

When Li Jian came over, Wan was gasping for air.

”I’m going to see you guys here.”

”We took a big detour.”

”If it weren’t for the fast river current, I would have swum over.”

He supported his knees with his hands, gasping for air, his chest rising and falling dramatically.

Zhang Yean smiled and said, ”That’s right, look at how small our vehicle has become.”

”Moreover, you two coming over is equivalent to doubling the journey.”

She joked with a smile, trying to alleviate Wan’s fatigue.

Compared with Wan, although Li Jian was a bit better physically.

Yet, he focused his attention on those footprints.

Li Jian hurriedly asked, ”Where are the footprints? Let me see.”

His eyes urgently scrutinized every detail.

Jiang An gestured and said, ”Captain, come with me.”

He led Li Jian along the route he had previously examined, walking over step by step.

Soon, they arrived at the fallen grass area.

Li Jian crouched down to look, following the direction of the bent grass extending into the river.

After five minutes, Li Jian gently nodded.

He said, ”Indeed, this location is very suspicious, and the sliding motion down here is also very smooth.”

”I even saw some grass at the riverbank being partially pulled out or broken.”

He reached out his fingers, gently touching the broken grass leaves.

Meanwhile, Jiang An walked up to the riverbank, pointed and said, ”Captain, look, isn’t there some grass pulled off here with partially remaining leaves.”

He squatted down, pointing at the grass leaves, his eyes focused and watching Li Jian, waiting for his response.

Li Jian nodded, ”Yes, this place clearly indicates a process of struggle and grasping for help.”

He stood up, looked around, and his mind recalled He Biao’s struggle before his death.

Soon after, Jiang An suddenly recalled the minor scratches on He Biao’s hand.

At that time, he thought it was minor skin damage from moving bricks.

But now, it seemed he has found the answer.

The sharp grass leaves, when quickly pulled, likely formed localized epidermal scratches.

At this moment, Li Jian suddenly asked, ”However, this place, we’re just suspecting.”

”To confirm this is where He Biao drowned, we need more evidence.”

As he spoke, he furrowed his brow, his eyes serious, knowing that solving a case cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang An nodded slightly, with a firm gaze, said, ”Captain Li, actually the scratches on He Biao’s hand already indicate the problem.”

”What do you mean?”

Captain Li Jian asked curiously.

Jiang An replied, ”Just now, I suddenly thought of the few minor scratches on the palm of the deceased’s right hand, very tiny.”

”Judging from the condition of these scratches, they hadn’t healed, they must have formed shortly before death.”

”From my personal forensic perspective analysis, they are likely formed by the grass here!”

As soon as his words fell, Captain Li Jian’s gaze descended, landing on the broken grass leaves.

Immediately, he fell into thought.
