The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 492 - 282: Yellow Mud on the Soles

After stepping inside, the six people put down the scene investigation equipment they were holding.

Although there were no corpses in this residence and no valuables that the suspect might have stolen, the method and procedure of the investigation were exactly the same.

In Jiang An’s view, such invisible scenes were often more troublesome than tangible crime scenes.

Although he hadn’t worked for long, since attending the police academy, Jiang An always disdained stupid crimes, those that left many traces everywhere.

Anyone could find out who the murderer was.

His nostrils slightly flared, showing a disdainful expression with a touch of youthful arrogance.

That’s too unchallenging!

But he also didn’t hope to encounter high-intelligence crimes because they were too mentally exhausting.

Dealing with those highly intelligent individuals, trying to pull them out from the crowd, it felt like his brain’s CPU could fry.

As the team leader of this scene investigation team, Jiang An slowly surveyed the room.

A three-bedroom apartment, with two bedrooms, one study, the whole arrangement looked very cozy.

At this moment, the sky outside was clear, and the indoors were bright and clean.

Three minutes later, Jiang An returned and turned to say, "Senior sister, senior brother, and comrades, let’s begin."

The entire room appeared quite ordinary, later on let’s focus on Li Lei’s personal belongings inside the house."

After giving instructions, everyone nodded swiftly and took action quickly.

At this moment, the woman holding a child in her arms showed a terrified expression on her face.

She clutched the child tighter to her chest, and the swaddling fabric crumpled in the grip of her fingers.

She looked at the few detectives in front of her and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Why are you searching our house?"

Jiang An’s gaze turned cold, and his jaw tightened as he said seriously, "We’re investigating a case, please cooperate."

"If you want Li Lei to return soon, the best thing to do now is to sit on the sofa and not move."

"Let the child play quietly and do not disturb our work."

Jiang An spoke very sternly, with his brows furrowing tightly, his eyes scanning the woman like a knife, yet he caught a glimpse of a suspicious stain at the child’s collar out of the corner of his eye.

Even though he knew that this woman was likely innocent, and might even be Li Lei’s shield.

However, at this moment, he had to appear more serious, otherwise how could the investigation proceed?

Quickly, everyone put on gloves, shoe covers, head covers, and masks, and began to act.

Some were taking photos of the scene with cameras, some were recording notes, while others were observing the surroundings...

Meanwhile, Li Jian led a team to contact Yang Mei, Li Lei’s first wife.

Even though they’d been divorced for nearly ten years, Yang Mei was quick to cooperate with the investigation when Li Jian called.

To avoid impacting Yang Mei’s personal life and work, Li Jian specially drove a private car and arranged to meet near her workplace in a teahouse.

At ten-thirty in the morning, Yang Mei entered private room 067 of the teahouse.

As she opened the door, Li Jian and two other police officers were already waiting there.

Seeing Yang Mei, Li Jian stood up, smiled slightly, and said seriously, "Hello, we are members of the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team."

"We are currently investigating a case involving Li Lei and hope you can assist us."

After speaking, his tongue subconsciously licked his dry lips.

Yang Mei nodded, a trace of nervousness flashing across her face.

She instinctively touched the missing ring mark on her ring finger.

Then she said, "No problem, if there’s anything you need, feel free to ask me."

"After all, we were once married."

"Being in the same boat for ten years and sharing a bed for a hundred, we were together for several years."

Seeing Yang Mei so understanding, Li Jian nodded.

He then gestured to start, "Alright, let’s begin."

"You were Li Lei’s first wife. Did you start as free love, or was it an introduction?"

Yang Mei took a sip of water, the cup slightly trembling in her hand as she fell into her memories.

She replied, "At that time, there was no such thing as free love, we were introduced by matchmakers."

"He and I were from neighboring villages, and when we were of marriageable age, relatives introduced us."

Li Jian nodded and signaled a colleague beside him to take notes.

"How was your life after marriage?"

A trace of a bitter smile appeared on Yang Mei’s face.

She tucked her fallen hair behind her ear and said in a low voice, "Back then, our family still had land."

"Though the work was hard, the income was at least acceptable."

"So, life was quite ordinary, though there were occasional little spats."

While she spoke, Li Jian glanced down at Li Lei’s file.

"You were married for nearly three years; why didn’t you have any children in those three years?"

"In those days, many took risks with family planning policies to have children, isn’t this a bit unusual?"

Hearing this, a bitter smile flashed across Yang Mei’s face.

She said, "Officer, to be honest, I could have children, but he couldn’t."

Li Jian was taken aback: "What do you mean? Infertility?"

Yang Mei shook her head: "Not infertility, but he couldn’t... perform."

Upon hearing this, the three officers sitting opposite were stunned instantly.
