The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 372 - 225: She’s a Bit Suspicious!

In the interrogation room of the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team.

Mr. Qin looked stern as he deftly turned on the synchronized audio and video recording system.

Then, he slightly turned his body and gestured invitingly with his hand.

"Don’t be nervous, just sit here."

Once the woman sat down, he said in a low voice, "Though this place is usually for interrogations, today we’ve invited you purely for so routine inquiries, no hidden agenda."

"In criminal investigation, no matter how obvious sothing looks, we can’t skip any part of the verification process."

"If your husband really passed away due to an accident or suicide, we will certainly uncover the truth and let him rest in peace sooner."

"If there’s any shadow of foul play, the culprit will surely be caught, and we will bring justice to light."

The woman stood nervously aside, her hands clasped uneasily.

Upon hearing this, she quickly nodded, eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you all so much, sorry for the trouble."

"You’re welco, this is our duty."

After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he turned to Zhang, nodding slightly, "Let’s get started."

"It’s getting late; let’s aim to finish early so she can also go ho sooner."

"Oh, right, if it ends late and there’s no shuttle back to Xinghua Village, we’ll drive you back in the police car."

Zhang also nodded in agreent and said, "Rest assured, we’ll definitely be quick."

The woman thanked them again repeatedly.

Mr. Qin sat upright, casting a gentle gaze toward the woman, and began the inquiry: "First, please state your na, age, and address."

"My na is Wang Shantao, I’m 36 years old, and I live in Xinghua Village."

"When did you and Wang Jianghe get married?"

"More than ten years ago."

"And you never had children?"

At the ntion of this, the woman lowered her head slightly, speaking with so shyness, "I beca pregnant soon after getting married, but the fetus was unhealthy and miscarried. Since then, I haven’t been able to conceive again."

Mr. Qin nodded gently, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes, and continued to ask, "What exactly were you and Wang Jianghe doing previously?"

"We ran a fruit stall in town and occasionally wholesaled cigarettes and alcohol."

"Please talk about your husband, Wang Jianghe."

Wang Shantao took a deep breath as if to muster courage to face those painful mories.

She slowly began, "Half a year ago, Jianghe suddenly had an upset stomach."

"At first, we didn’t think much of it and went to a small clinic, took so dicine, and the pain eased a bit."

"But his complexion was waxy yellow, which worried , so I accompanied him to Jiangcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine to see the gastroenterology departnt."

"In the end, the doctor recomnded transferring to the hepatobiliary surgery departnt. After an examination, it turned out to be advanced liver cancer."

"What special treatnt was taken at that ti?"

Mr. Qin frowned slightly, listening intently.

"The doctor said it was already advanced, with a risk of local spreading, and there was basically no definitive cure."

"Later, many drug therapies were used, mainly to relieve pain and extend life sowhat."

The woman’s eyes slightly reddened and her voice choked up.

"Did the doctor estimate how long he might live at most?"

"They said no more than half a year."

The woman sighed and continued, "From then on, Jianghe beca exceedingly pessimistic, several tis expressing to his thoughts of suicide."

"With liver cancer the pain is excruciating; he often woke up in pain in the middle of the night."

The woman raised a hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"You just ntioned his parents are both old. Are there any other relatives?"

"He has an aged grandmother in the countryside."

"After he fell ill, he even made a special visit to see her. Knowing his condition, he thought of leaving but couldn’t bear to upset his grandmother, so he held back."

"However, in the past one or two months, he often talked to about wanting to leave."

Mr. Qin listened while jotting down notes in his notebook and asked, "When was the most recent incident of disappearance?"

"What was the situation at that ti?"

"On the 11th, he had breakfast that morning and said he wanted to go for a walk, but he didn’t co back for a long ti, and I couldn’t reach him on the phone."

"What things did he take with him when he left?"

"Just his phone and keys, nothing unusual."

"Why do you suspect he disappeared?"

"Usually he answers his phone, but that day I called multiple tis and no one picked up, which made panic, so I reported it to the police that evening."

"When he left ho, what brand was the phone he took?"

"Just an ordinary dostic smartphone."

"After the disappearance, did you search around?"

"Yes, I did."

"I even mobilized friends to help search, but after looking everywhere, we didn’t find a trace of him."

Mr. Qin’s eyes flashed as if catching a clue, asking, "Did you search around Phoenix Mountain?"

"We have, when we were dating, we often went there for barbecues."

"However, we haven’t been in the past two years, given our age, we lacked the leisure desire."

The woman seed to suddenly realize sothing, her eyes widened, asking, "Was his body found there?"

Mr. Qin did not respond directly, rely nodding thoughtfully, quietly planning his next direction of inquiry.

Huang from the Criminal Investigation Team ran quickly to deliver materials for skull reconstruction to the forensic laboratory.

Almost simultaneously, Xiaolan hurriedly arrived, handing a photo to Jiang An: "Mr. Jiang, this is the photo of Wang Jianghe from when he was alive that Mr. Qin asked to give to you."

Jiang An, wearing dical gloves, was focused on tinkering with the skull on the experintal table.

Upon hearing this, he lifted his eyes towards Zhang Yean nearby, saying, "Senior sister, please keep it for ; I’m busy doing sothing right now."

He glanced at the photo briefly, frowning slightly, "It looks like an ID photo. If it could be enlarged, it would be more convenient for computer comparison later."
