The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 511 - 291: The Cutest Members of the Criminal Police Team

Chapter 511: Chapter 291: The Cutest Members of the Criminal Police Team

Mr. Ma placed the teacup on the table with a "thud," and a few drops of hot water splashed out.

He stood there, stunned; throughout his years in criminal investigation, he had cracked numerous major cases.

But the speed and quality of this breakthrough truly exceeded his expectations.

"Really...solved?"

Mr. Ma’s voice trembled slightly. This unresolved case that had troubled him for years was finally solved so quickly.

He instinctively touched the stubble on his chin, disbelief written all over his face.

Li Jian continued to report solemnly, "Li Lei killed seven people in total! Except for one, which was an act of revenge for a wounded pride, the others were all vulnerable women."

"This really is a shocking case!"

Mr. Ma stood frozen, his face showing utmost shock.

"Mr. Fu has already led the team of forensic experts and trace examiners to the scene for excavation."

"According to the confession, he buried the other three bodies in the woodland next to a small straw hut."

Mr. Ma felt a buzzing in his ears, and the teacup in his hand inadvertently tilted, spilling tea onto his shiny leather shoes.

In his over thirty-year career in law enforcement, Jiangcheng had never seen a malignant case where one person had killed seven.

This breakthrough record is bound to leave a bold, colorful mark in Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation history.

He steadied himself and asked seriously, "Is this true?"

"Of course," Li Jian extinguished his cigarette butt, his gaze as firm as iron.

"Mr. Ma, when have I ever deceived you in a case?"

"Moreover, would I dare joke about such a major case?"

Mr. Ma rubbed his hands excitedly; his years-long burden was finally lifted.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Jian added, "Honestly, even the case-solving speed exceeded my expectations."

He paused, "In all of this, Jiang An’s contributions were indispensable."

"Without his careful investigation and meticulous analysis, we couldn’t have broken through the suspect’s psychological defenses so quickly."

"Jiang An!"

Mr. Ma nodded repeatedly, admiration shining in his eyes.

"Don’t be fooled by his young age; his mind works faster than a computer, and his suggestions are both professional and practical..."

"Good, good, good!" Mr. Ma interrupted with a smile, the teacup in his hand trembling slightly from excitement.

"Such an outstanding colleague must be recognized!"

He grabbed the red phone on the table and quickly dialed Mr. Zhang from the supervisory group.

"Mr. Zhang, I have good news to report; the homicide case your team has been concentrating on has been successfully solved!"

"Not only that, but we’ve also cracked three other long-standing murder cases."

"I will prepare a detailed written report for you as soon as possible."

The phone was silent for a few seconds before Mr. Zhang’s somewhat tense voice came through.

"Good...good, I’ll wait for the report."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhang turned to the other two directors in the office, and the three of them stared at each other in disbelief.

"That was a call from Mr. Ma," Mr. Zhang’s voice was a bit dry, "The case is solved, but the key is...the murderer killed seven people."

He took a deep breath, "Seven lives, this is a rare major case even nationwide. Do you think we should send additional support?"

Another director immediately waved his hand, "No need, since the case is solved, the suspect is apprehended, and the evidence chain is complete, we can proceed directly with prosecutorial transfer."

He shook his head and sighed, "Seven lives... Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation will become famous because of this."

At this moment, another director curiously interjected, "Although Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation is impressive, I didn’t think it was this fast. Why was the case solved so efficiently this time?"

Mr. Zhang nodded lightly after hearing this, "Honestly, Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation is mid-upper level in the province."

"But ever since Jiang An joined," his eyes lit up, "the rate of solving cases has soared."

"Honestly, without him, this case wouldn’t have been solved so quickly."

"Indeed!"

"During the last provincial case analysis meeting, that young man left a deep impression on me."

"His case analysis was clear and his reasoning meticulous."

One of them lowered his voice, "Honestly, I’ve always wanted to transfer him to the department’s major case team."

"With fresh blood like him, those difficult national cases would have hope."

At this moment, the Criminal Investigation Team’s office was already full of jubilant celebration.

The case was solved and the heavy burden had finally lifted from everyone’s hearts.

For detectives, their work is always filled with uncertainty—not like office units that can follow a set routine.

They never know when the next case will arrive or what form it will take.

But one thing is certain: when a case comes, they must go all out until the truth is unveiled.

This is the detectives’ mission, and it is also their honor.

At 10 AM, Jiang An pushed open the Criminal Investigation Team’s door, and warm sunlight poured through the windows onto his shoulders.

The entire office instantly erupted, with greetings flowing towards him like waves.

"Jiang An is here!"

"Our star detective!"

"Come see the surprise we’ve prepared for you!"

Everyone’s face was filled with sincere smiles, their eyes brimming with admiration and gratitude.

Jiang An touched the back of his head a bit self-consciously.

This habitual gesture turned his sharp image during the investigation into one that was amiable and endearing.

When he walked to his workstation, Jiang An was surprised to find the desk piled with gifts: beautifully packaged snacks, fresh fruit, boxes of bottled water, and the most eye-catching item was a brand new laptop, shining with metallic luster under the sun.

"Sister, is this really my seat?"

Jiang An turned to Zhang Yuan, his tone uncertain.

Zhang Yean smiled as she walked over and affectionately patted his shoulder.

"Of course, it’s your spot! All of this was prepared spontaneously by everyone."

She pointed at the laptop, "This is the office’s special new equipment; there’s only one of its kind in the team."

"Your old relic should retire."

Colleagues in the office crowded around, expressing their gratitude enthusiastically:

"Without your deductive analysis, how could we have locked down the suspect so quickly?"

"That geographic profiling was incredible, as precise as satellite positioning!"

"Mr. Li even said you’re the team’s ’secret weapon’!"

......

Jiang An was praised to the point where his ears turned red, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "The case was cracked by all of us together; I just offered a few suggestions."

Just then, Li Jian walked into the office with wide strides, and the space immediately quieted down, but everyone’s eyes glistened with anticipation.

"I’ll take a few minutes of your time." Li Jian’s voice carried irrepressible joy, "I just received two pieces of good news from Mr. Ma."

Everyone held their breath, even the sound of typing stopped completely.

"First, this longstanding unresolved case was not only successfully cracked but also led to solving three hidden cases; the city bureau leaders asked me to tell you all that you’ve worked hard."

Li Jian scanned the room, "Regarding this case, the city bureau leaders have given us high praise; this is the most beautiful battle in Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation history!"

A wave of applause erupted instantly, with a few old detectives excitedly pounding tables.

Once the applause subsided a bit, Li Jian raised his volume, "Second, due to this case’s significant impact and the large number of victims, to commend excellence and boost morale, the city bureau’s committee has decided to nominate us for a collective first-class merit award!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office erupted again, with cheers seeming to lift the roof.

In this jubilant atmosphere, everyone’s gaze unanimously turned towards Jiang An.

Suddenly being watched by so many detectives, he felt a bit embarrassed, but the smile on his lips couldn’t be concealed.

At this moment, in everyone’s hearts, this meticulous thinking, humble and lovable young man during the investigation was indisputably the brightest star of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Finally, Li Jian spoke with a smile, "Let’s give the warmest applause to the most beloved person in the Criminal Investigation Team."

Instantly, the office was filled with thunderous applause again.
