The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 425 - 250: Assist from Jiang An (Part 2)

When finally confronting the murderer, where exactly do we find a breakthrough?

After a brief thought, Captain Li Jian stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, "It’s okay, let’s go in and take a look."

With that, he waved his hand and took the lead towards the surveillance video hall of the interrogation room, followed closely by his team mbers.

Soon, the five of them arrived at the surveillance video hall of the interrogation room.

The lighting in the interrogation room was cold, and there was a sense of oppression lingering in the air.

In Interrogation Room No. 1, Wang Shantao was slumped in a chair, looking exhausted, with disheveled hair hanging in front of her forehead.

Her hands hung limply by her sides, her eyes staring blankly at the floor.

anwhile, in Interrogation Room No. 2, Mr. Qin was confronting Li Xiang.

In the footage, Mr. Qin suddenly slamd the table.

The cup on the table shook and a bit of water splashed out.

He glared at Li Xiang with eyes wide, as if trying to see right through him.

"I’m telling you, the fact that we approached you alone ans we have crucial evidence."

"This is not the ti for bargaining; it’s the ti for you to admit your mistakes and confess for a lighter sentence."

"So, I hope you can open your eyes and seize this mont."

"I’m really innocent."

In the video, Li Xiang shrugged, spreading his hands helplessly.

"I really didn’t kill anyone."

"Yes, I admit I once liked Wang Shantao."

"Of course, I’m not the only one who liked Wang Shantao."

"You even said He Biao once liked her too."

"But surely there’s nothing wrong with liking soone, right?"

"Besides, I’m also a victim. Because of this matter, my wife and I got divorced."

"I have my career, a fairly handso inco, a car, a house; why would I do sothing so reckless?"

"I couldn’t possibly kill soone over a fickle woman, could I?"

Li Xiang said, slightly raising his chin, a hint of stubbornness and resentnt in his eyes, shaking his head slightly.

"Mr. Qin."

Li Xiang continued, "Easy for you to say, if it weren’t for the caras overhead—"

"I’d want you to feel how capable I am."

"What, are you planning to use excessive force?"

"I can report you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the cara above with a finger.

At this mont, Captain Li Jian, standing outside the monitor screen, furrowed his brows deeply.

He put his hands on his hips and turned around to say, "What, don’t you guys have any other ideas?"

Everyone exchanged glances instantly, looking at one another.

Finally, they all focused their gaze on Jiang An.

Jiang An squinted slightly, lightly tapping the tabletop with his fingers.

Then he slowly said, "Based on the information obtained earlier, this man called Li Xiang should be suspicious."

"However, even if we have strong reasons to believe he is a suspect."

"We still need to produce convincing evidence."

Wan also shook his head helplessly.

He sighed, scratching his head: "Just like now, we lack evidence the most, but where to find it?"

Zhang Yean said, "Even if He Biao was pushed into the water, there wouldn’t be much evidence left behind."

...

After a discussion, the image of the corpse and the distribution of the weeds along the riverbank ca to Jiang An’s mind.

Five minutes later, Jiang An turned around and said, "Captain, I have an idea, not sure if it will work."

Hearing this, Captain Li Jian was very pleased.

His eyes widened with joy on his face.

After all, in tis of doubt, any suggestion was very important.

No matter how low the success rate might be, he was willing to try.

He hurriedly said, "Brother, quickly tell us, we need to investigate imdiately."

He also reached out and patted Jiang An’s shoulder, his gaze full of trust.

Then, Jiang An turned his gaze onto the monitor screen.

He stared intently at Li Xiang on the screen.

"Since it’s likely that He Biao was pushed into the water, it fully indicates that He Biao should have had a strong ability to resist."

"The state of the broken grass by the shore shows that he had a very strong resistance ability back then."

"With such strong resistance, it’s impossible not to leave any evidence."

Jiang An said this while simulating He Biao’s struggle with his hands.

"Are you saying there are other objective evidence to look for?"

Hearing this, Captain Li Jian was instantly intrigued.

He leaned closer to the monitor screen, eyes tightly focusing on the display.

At this mont, Zhang Yean also approached, shaking Jiang An’s shoulder.

She said with a grin, "Yes, hurry up and tell us, everyone is so anxious."

Jiang An nodded.

"Back then, by the riverbank, the grass was in disarray."

"If the two of them were grappling, considering the season we are in, it’s most likely to be wearing short sleeves at most long sleeves."

"Isn’t it possible that relevant scratch marks could be left on the suspect?"

"Since it’s highly likely for certain scratches to be on the suspect, especially showing fibers on a watch strap that don’t belong to their clothing."

"This fiber could only co from the suspect, indicating a struggle involving arms back then."

"Therefore, I surmise that the suspect may have certain scratches on their arms or body."

As Jiang An spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, gesturing to his arm.

Upon finishing his sentence, Captain Li Jian nodded gently.
