The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 517 - 294: Jiang An’s Conclusion Is My Conclusion

Chapter 517: Chapter 294: Jiang An’s Conclusion Is My Conclusion

At this moment, there was instead a sense of cold-eyed observation from the sidelines, with eyes full of scrutiny.

In an instant, the scene became as awkward as frozen ice.

Jiang An immediately straightened up and said, "Who said no autopsy?"

"Can we determine the cause of death without an autopsy?"

"Just now, we already communicated with Mr. Zhang, this is a death from jumping off a high place."

"Nothing special, we want to handle it ourselves."

"Our daughter worked hard all her life, even after death she should be left intact."

...

Jiang An slightly organized his thoughts and raised his hand with a downward press gesture: "This elder, I can understand your feelings."

"However, please also understand our work procedures and principles."

"First, let me introduce myself, I am a criminal investigator and also a forensic officer in the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team."

"For any body, we treat them equally, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, we hope to find the true cause of death."

"Today, we received instructions to come here to examine the scene."

"Although at first glance the position where the electric bike is parked is fairly close to the body, which makes it seem like they rode a bike here to jump off the bridge."

"However, this is just speculation."

"Just now, I carefully examined your daughter’s body under the bridge and found something unusual about this body."

"What do you mean? Is there a problem?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked, his voice suddenly rising.

Jiang An nodded: "There is a problem. Of course, there’s a problem."

"Moreover, I found it’s very possible your daughter didn’t die from jumping off the bridge, but her body was disposed of under the bridge after death."

"Disposed of after death?"

The elderly man showed a look of vague understanding, his cloudy eyes full of confusion.

However, the expressions of the middle-aged people standing nearby turned aghast, as if they’d seen a ghost.

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man, who was the deceased’s older brother, rushed forward and said, "Officer, are you serious?"

"You’re not deliberately deceiving us just to perform an autopsy, are you?"

"Exactly, disposed of after death..."

However, for Jiang An’s suggestion, the others didn’t really put much thought into it.

Because this very young-looking man, although speaking righteously, how credible could it be?

At this moment, the family’s attention shifted from Jiang An to Zhang Kun and Mr. Huang.

Compared to Jiang An, the two leaders in front of them looked more experienced and seasoned, like old trees weathered by time.

Both of their faces showed a hint of distrust, and the family members quickly waved their hands.

"We don’t trust anyone from the Criminal Investigation Team, we only trust the director."

"I feel, combining my own views, this completely fits the scenario of suicide."

"My sister should have committed suicide."

"Recently, a fortune teller said she would face a big calamity this year, so this fits her personal situation."

"She managed household affairs alone for years, it was very tough, we believe she had reasons to end her own life."

Hearing these words, the family members instantly became emotional, their voices rising wave upon wave.

Standing nearby, Zhang Kun and another colleague from the police station said nothing, as if they inwardly agreed with the family’s words.

In their view, suicide nowadays isn’t an unusual occurrence.

Moreover, the vice captain of the Criminal Investigation Team they faced, even without considering connections,

Based on age and appearance alone, there wasn’t much trust to be had.

So he just slowly observed, waited, like a hunter lurking.

Seeing the scene before her, Zhang Yean, standing beside Jiang An, became anxious.

She took a quick step forward and said, "Uncle, aunty, we all hope to uncover the truth."

"Just now, you were unaware, Jiang Captain and I indeed found that your daughter’s body doesn’t fit the characteristics of a high fall, making it likely disposed of after death."

As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged man across quickly said, impatience in his voice, "I don’t care about high falls, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"I only care about one thing right now, and that’s when can we take the body home for burial?"

At this critical moment, Jiang An said in a deep voice, "Impossible! This body must undergo a forensic autopsy."

"This isn’t a simple suicide case, but a premeditated body disposal disguised as suicide."

Jiang An’s words were emphatic, each word like a nail driven into the ground.

Seeing the tense atmosphere at the moment, Zhang Kun stepped forward and patted Jiang An’s shoulder: "Jiang Captain, may I have a word?"

"Captain Jiang, I can understand your feelings, but grassroots work isn’t easy."

"Moreover, only some of the family is here, if a large number come and we end up in a tussle over the body, won’t the issue escalate?"

Jiang An tilted his head and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Kun replied, "I mean, if there aren’t too many questions, we should let the family take the body back and investigate through other means."

After a slight pause, Zhang Kun continued, "Actually, based on my years of work experience, I feel that it is very likely a suicide case."

Then he lowered his voice, "In all these years in grassroots work, I believe it’s better to turn big problems into small ones and small problems into no problems at all."

Jiang An’s gaze was sharp: "Mr. Zhang, your approach is indeed pragmatic."

"But in criminal investigations, we can never give up."

"When faced with major doubts, we must never bury our heads like ostriches."

"Every question must be eliminated."

"However, if after eliminating doubts a possibility of murder remains, then it’s a homicide case."

Hearing this, Zhang Kun suddenly realized this newly appointed vice captain of the Criminal Investigation Team was quite stubborn.

The saying that a new official fires three times was true after all.

Plus, young and rash, he was indeed hard to persuade, like a tough bone.

Just then, another seven or eight family members arrived, footsteps chaotic, the scene surrounding the detectives and officers like a steel barrel with twenty people.

The head family member stepped forward aggressively, "No matter what, we must take the body home."

"Don’t let anyone dissect it, it must be buried intact."

Jiang An turned around, staring at the crowd with eyes like electricity, "If you continue to obstruct, our law enforcement agencies have every reason to consider you crime suspects and conduct appropriate investigation and inquiry on you."

"Investigation and solving the case is our duty as detectives."

"I won’t stop my investigation for anyone or anything; this body must be autopsied."

Zhang Kun, seeing the tense atmosphere in front of him, shook his head helplessly.

Then, he took out his phone, walked four meters away, and dialed Mr. Li’s number.

"Mr. Li!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! Our Captain Jiang has already led a team to your location, he should have arrived by now?"

After a brief pause, Zhang Kun smiled, though his smile was a bit stiff.

"They indeed have arrived."

"However, I feel their business skills might needs to be honed, don’t you think?"

"Now, the situation is becoming somewhat serious."

"Captain Jiang insists on conducting the autopsy, but the family wants a private burial, should we ask you to come and oversee the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li smiled and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, although Jiang An is young, he’s very competent."

"His views represent my views, and also the views of our Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team."

Instantly, Zhang Kun was left stunned on the spot.
