The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 534 - 303: Crucial Evidence in the Corner of the Wall!

Chapter 534: Chapter 303: Crucial Evidence in the Corner of the Wall!

The task force, initially a bit dispirited, quickly regained their confidence in solving the case after encouragement from Mr. Ma and Captain Li Jian.

Subsequently, Jiang An led the team swiftly to Wang Cuilan’s home.

The group drove to the entrance and opened the courtyard gate.

At this moment, the courtyard was already empty.

The two young children had been taken to a relative’s house.

Once all the equipment was brought in from the car, everyone stood in a row.

At that moment, Jiang An stood at the front of the team.

He looked around and said solemnly, "My fellow officers, you have all worked hard."

"Having fought continuously for so long, I, as the head of the task force, really should give everyone a break and let you rest well."

"But, I feel ashamed!"

"This case has yet to be solved."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang An continued, "In criminal investigation, I’ve always believed that until a murder case is solved, the investigation doesn’t stop."

"The current murder case, after intensive investigation."

"It can be said there have been twists and turns, some successes, and progress."

"At present, we still haven’t locked in the suspect’s identity."

"Just now, Mr. Ma reassured us and pointed out the direction we should take."

"As someone from the older generation of criminal investigators in Jiangcheng, he worked his way up from a criminal investigator to the deputy director of the police bureau."

"I believe, on the road of criminal investigation, he has walked more bridges than the roads we’ve traveled."

"Since Mr. Ma has pointed out the next steps for our investigation, we must execute them without fail."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked around the surrounding yard.

"By my estimation, this courtyard covers no more than 1000 square meters. We will now conduct a thorough search of this 1000 square meters."

"Whether it’s the ground, the walls, or daily items, everything needs to be examined."

"We have confirmed that the primary crime scene is here, the murderer committed the act beside that well."

"But how did the murderer get in?"

"Did they linger here and wait?"

"Were there any accomplices involved?"

"These are all questions that deserve our deep consideration."

"What was the murderer’s motive in committing the act?"

"Earlier, we exhausted all investigations into the victim’s relationships and found no conflicts or accumulated resentment. So why did the murderer commit the act?"

"These are the issues we need to resolve next."

Finally, Jiang An sighed and said, "My fellow officers, you have all worked hard."

"During the meeting, I set a military order to solve the case in three days."

"Today is the third day, and time is very tight."

"However, I am confident we can achieve this goal. Please join me in this effort, and together we will witness the resolution of this case."

Immediately, everyone unitedly shouted, "Yes!"

After assigning tasks, everyone set to work.

Some held footprint lights to look for tracks on the ground.

Others carried fingerprint lights to search for fingerprints.

Some were carrying cameras, taking photos with a ’hehe’ laugh.

...

Everyone was moving forward together, conducting a thorough search.

At this moment, Jiang An and Mr. Fu stood there, deep in thought.

Mr. Fu, with a worried expression, looked at his busy subordinates.

"It seems this case is indeed quite complex."

Jiang An responded, "Exactly!"

"This is the most complicated case I’ve encountered since I started working."

"I always feel that the murderer is in plain sight, yet in reality, very far away."

"In the process of solving the case, it’s as if there’s a thin veil, visible but untouchable."

"For example, earlier, we suspected the victim’s husband. He had the motive and opportunity, but it wasn’t him."

"And then there’s Wang Cuilan’s current lover, Li Guang. Why did he lie to us?"

"Is it just to cover their illicit relationship?"

In response, Mr. Fu said, "Yesterday, after a day of investigation, neighbors reported that the victim was gentle in character."

"Aside from some personal issues, she hadn’t other faults and never quarreled with others."

"How could such a person have enmity with others, leading to her death?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang An fell into contemplation.

He pondered while looking around the entire courtyard.

The courtyard with the two-story building looked very compact.

Near the courtyard’s well, patches of moss could be seen faintly.

"If Wang Cuilan was attacked while washing clothes, how did the murderer get in?"

Mr. Fu glanced over and said, "Wasn’t it deduced earlier that they entered through the door?"

"No climbing traces were found on the surrounding courtyard walls."

Jiang An nodded after hearing this.

"This possibility is very likely."

"However, I still have a question in mind."

"What kind of question?"

"Look!"

"From the iron gate of the courtyard, it’s less than three meters to the well."

"If the murderer came through the iron gate, in such a short distance, didn’t the victim notice?"

"Why didn’t the victim, Wang Cuilan, scream?"

Then, Jiang An raised his finger and pointed, "Moreover, there is a large lamp by the well. This light doesn’t seem like much during the day, but it’s probably quite bright at night."

Mr. Fu, with years in criminal investigation, naturally did not lack logical analysis skills.

He pondered, speculating and asking, "You mean the suspect might not have come in while the victim was washing clothes?"

"They might have snuck in much earlier?"
