The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 552 - 313: Back to the Original Scene of the Year

Chapter 552: Chapter 313: Back to the Original Scene of the Year

11:30 AM, Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau.

The meeting of mid-level cadres ended, and Li Jian, Zhang Chao, and Jiang An walked out of the venue together.

As the leaders of the criminal investigation team, they sat together during the meeting.

Seeing Jiang An’s face full of exhaustion, Li Jian quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Did you stay up late again last night?"

Jiang An nodded.

"Last night, we went to the funeral home to look at the body,"

Jiang An replied.

Zhang Chao was surprised, "To my knowledge, there haven’t been any cases recently."

"What’s wrong? Was there a new case last night?"

Jiang An shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, it’s the old family murder case I reported to you yesterday."

Upon hearing this, the two paused for a moment.

After a moment, Zhang Chao said gravely, "That body has already been examined multiple times."

"I remember the internal organs of the three deceased had all been extracted."

"Also, the bodies have been stored for so many years; is there still a need to examine them?"

Instantly, Li Jian and Zhang Chao both looked at Jiang An.

Both had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Jiang An answered, "The internal organs of the three deceased are indeed gone."

"However, the skin on the body can still be examined."

"Any new findings?"

Li Jian asked casually as they walked.

"Last night, we carefully examined the distribution of injuries on the three deceased."

"I found that the distribution of injuries has some characteristics."

"There’s a significant difference between the injury distribution on males and females!"

At this moment, the image of the bodies from back then flashed in Li Jian and Zhang Chao’s minds.

The woman’s body had many wounds.

The man relatively fewer.

The child almost had none.

After a slight pause, Li Jian asked gravely, "What’s wrong?"

"Are there other issues with the bodies?"

"Yesterday, at the funeral home, we looked carefully for a long time and found that the body seemed to have some issues, issues with the body."

"In what aspect?"

Zhang Chao immediately asked.

After all, he might be more nervous about this case.

Although, as a cadre in the criminal investigation team, his job is mainly managing the team and he usually doesn’t participate in case handling.

However, he has a particular interest in this case.

It’s a knot in his heart!

Jiang An said, "Through the injury analysis on the body last night, I believe this case’s injury analysis may need reassessment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jian and Zhang Chao both suddenly stopped in their tracks.

It was as if a calm lake surface had suddenly been struck by a stone.

"The injury analysis has a problem?"

"Could it be incorrect?"

You must know that the injury study for this case was affirmed by many criminal investigation experts after repeated deliberation!

Moreover, it has been the steadfast direction for several generations of task force leaders!

Even though the case hasn’t been solved, the direction shouldn’t be wrong!

Li Jian looked at Jiang An again, his gaze was scrutinizing.

"Sufficient reasons?"

Jiang An replied, "According to the original case discussion results, the nature of death was a murder triggered by hatred."

"Also, the female body had numerous wounds, strongly suggesting the possibility that it was the female victim’s enemy, causing the male victim to be killed together."

"Actually, yesterday after I looked at the case files, I also had this thought."

"But when I looked at the bodies, I gained a more comprehensive understanding of them."

"The conclusion on the injury analysis has also changed!"

"Changed?"

"What’s different?"

Jiang An continued, saying:

"Both the female and male bodies had wounds, but the female body had very many small scratches."

"These scratches wouldn’t cause her death but were enough to cause her pain."

"I believe, analyzing from the type of injuries, these wounds are intimidation wounds."

The two team leaders were startled.

They were not unfamiliar with such intimidation wounds.

Many criminal cases, such as robberies or other incidents, involve acts of intimidation.

However, wasn’t this intimidation excessive?

"Have you considered whether they are venting injuries?"

After a while, Li Jian suddenly asked.

Jiang An responded, "Based on my understanding of criminal psychology, venting injuries typically distribute across specific areas of the body."

"But on this body, I didn’t see venting injuries in areas like the perineum, face, neck, or breast of the female body."

"From my perspective, I believe these injuries were very likely meant to intimidate and torture, mainly to inflict pain but not to cause death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chao, the instructor, suddenly said, "If these were acts of intimidation, why doesn’t the man’s body have as many?"

After a slight pause, Jiang An replied gravely, "Because the man might have died suddenly during resistance, so it wasn’t possible to exert intimidation on him!"

Upon hearing this, the process of autopsy from the incident replayed in Li Jian and Zhang Chao’s minds.

After a long while, Li Jian said gravely, "Indeed, there was a knife wound on the left chest of the male victim, Zhao Jian."

"Initially, the medical examiner was puzzled by this wound, thinking its location was indeed peculiar, isolated, and unusual."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian suddenly stopped walking and said, "I didn’t expect that in just one night, you’d have such a thorough understanding of this case."

"Tell us what you think."

At this point, Jiang An did not withhold his thoughts.

He straightforwardly said, "I believe that in this case, the cause wasn’t because of the woman, but because of the man."
