The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 173 - 142: Two Charges—Pick One Yourself!

Seeing Jiang An’s incoming call, Li Jian hurriedly walked out.

"Hello!"

"Mr. Li, there’s so work that needs to be reported to you."

"Go ahead!"

"Just now, the three of us have found the location where the body was dumped in Yongming River."

"So quickly?"

Jiang An chuckled and said, "The three of us were quite lucky and quickly discovered the likely dumping spot used by the murderer."

"What thod did the murderer use to transport the body?"

Jiang An replied, "Mr. Li, we discovered marks of a small pulley along the riverbank, and the distance between two pulleys matches the width of a suitcase."

"It is inferred that the murderer very likely used a suitcase to transport the body."

"Additionally, we discovered a woman’s hairpin near the suitcase’s wheel tracks."

"Hairpin?"

"Yes, judging by the color and texture of the hairpin, it is highly likely related to this case."

"Is the hairpin the victim’s?"

"Currently uncertain."

"Once back in the lab, we plan to extract biological evidence from the hairpin and analyze its genetic makeup to compare with the victim’s genes.

Li Jian remained silent for a long ti.

"Where exactly did you find these trace marks?"

"About 400 ters downstream from the Three Sandstone Plants."

After saying this, Jiang An continued, "Mr. Li, I have a work suggestion."

"I want to imdiately conduct a blanket search of the village beside the Three Sandstone Plants."

"You’ve already narrowed down the suspect’s range so quickly?"

Li Jian responded, "Just now, we followed the suitcase wheel prints and found the beginning of a cent road."

"On this cent road, there happens to be a high-definition surveillance cara."

"Unfortunately, the range of the high-definition cara is limited and does not reach the end of the cent road."

"Mr. Chen retrieved suspicious vehicles from the surveillance cara during the ti surrounding the cri."

"He found that during the cri tifra, only sand-transporting vehicles and so electric bikes passed by."

"However, no suitcase was found on the electric bikes."

Instantly, Li Jian’s mind was ticulously reorganizing all the information.

On the other end, Jiang An continued to report.

"However, at the end of that cent road, we found another small path."

"Only this path leads to the nearby village, and there’s no surveillance along the way."

"Therefore, from the entire route view, there are only two ways to reach the dumping site."

"One way is the murderer transported the body here via the cent road; in this case, we will focus on investigating large sand trucks."

"The other way is the murderer very likely passed through this village to discard the body."

"It’s even possible the murderer is soone from a nearby village."

After hearing this, Li Jian thought for a while.

"Can the small path you ntioned be accessed by ordinary cars?"

"No problem, although the road is an ordinary gravel path with so areas heavily muddy."

Li Jian organized all the information in his mind.

As he was thinking, Jiang An continued, "Mr. Li, this ti, I want to investigate using reverse thinking."

"What reverse thinking? Explain it to ."

Mr. Li suddenly felt very curious.

Jiang An said on the phone, "Currently, we don’t have a clear understanding of the victim’s true identity."

"I’ve already contacted Mr. Chen."

"He has sorted through all the missing person reports from the city over the past week, but none match the victim’s characteristics."

"In this situation, trying to find the corpse source through the victim’s identity to open a breakthrough is very challenging."

"After all, there are no clues found on the body to help locate the corpse source."

"Thus, I want to start from the criminal suspect, identify the victim’s identity, and then conduct a deeper investigation."

Li Jian thought for a while and said, "If we cannot ascertain who the victim is."

"Using your thod is also a worthy attempt."

Realizing the promise made during the eting to solve the case in five days, one day has already passed.

At this mont, Li Jian was feeling a bit anxious.

"Any case-solving thod is worth trying as long as there is progress."

Then, he asked over the phone, "Do you need personnel support for the traditional search investigation on your side?"

"Mr. Li, this is actually what I wanted to express by reporting the work to you this ti."

"Currently, there are only three of us: , Zhang Yean, and Wan."

"If we’re going to investigate the drivers from the sand plant and conduct interviews in the nearby village, it won’t be an easy task."

"Therefore, we’d like to request Mr. Li to assign officers from Wuhe Police Station and other colleagues from the criminal investigation team to assist with the traditional search."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jian said solemnly, "No problem."

"I promised when I set out that as long as you need support, I’d send additional personnel at any ti."

However, Li Jian furrowed his brow and said, "If we search indiscriminately, it’s likely that the ti required won’t be short."

"Just now, I already committed at the won and children’s seminar to solve the case within five days."

"The efficiency of the traditional thod is not necessarily very high."

Jiang An said on the phone, "Mr. Li, I will not use an indiscriminate search this ti but rather a targeted selection."

"Targeted selection?"

"Have you narrowed down the target group already?"

On the other end, Jiang An was full of confidence.

He thought of his own profiling of the murderer’s characteristics.

The victim’s lower body showed obvious signs of assault, and there were mucosal ruptures in so areas."
