The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 498 - 285: His Motive for Committing the Crime!

After hearing the guidance from the two captains and encouragent from his colleagues, Jiang An once again found the confidence and courage to solve the case.

He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed so dumplings from the cafeteria, dipped them in vinegar, and found them quite flavorful.

Seeing Jiang An’s improved state, Li Jian picked up the noodle soup beside him and took a sip.

He said, "Now, while we’re eating, let’s take the opportunity to preliminarily summarize today’s investigation to see if we can spark any clever ideas."

Mr. Fu picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and said, "Alright, let’s simply go through the situation."

Imdiately, Li Jian said in a deep voice, "Today, our group went out of town to investigate the three wives of suspect Li Lei."

"There are so similarities in the responses from these three wives, as they all basically reflected that Li Lei has certain issues below the waist."

At this ti, as there were so female police officers present, Captain Li spoke very tactfully.

"Moreover, this issue has been troubling Li Lei for a long ti."

"According to the first wife, when Li Lei first got married, he was very well-mannered, honest, and responsible."

"But, after nurous attempts at intimacy without any improvent, Li Lei’s entire character changed."

"He went from being gentle and honest to violent, and one could no longer see any joy on his face."

"The second wife also discovered Li Lei’s issue during their ti together."

"Initially, she was under great pressure because she couldn’t conceive and spoke to her mother-in-law about the situation."

"The mother-in-law imdiately suggested they get a dical check-up, and the hospital results confird the initial findings."

"Unable to engage in normal intimate relations."

"However, due to the immaturity and high costs of IVF technology at the ti, they gave up."

"After that, Li Lei’s character underwent a massive change, often verbally abusing his wife, and dostic violence beca common."

"At the ti, the second wife reported they also saw a psychiatrist."

"The psychiatrist diagnosed early signs of schizophrenia."

"So, this might have so connection to his later criminal motives."

"Of course, due to ti constraints, we didn’t have the chance to retrieve records from Jiangcheng’s psychiatric hospitals today."

"If we could obtain relevant records, I believe it would greatly benefit our analysis of his criminal motives."

As he spoke, the other officers nodded in agreent, and Mr. Fu nodded repeatedly to show his approval.

He said, "Li Jian, you’re right."

"For such a vicious serial killing case, ntal health must be a key point we consider."

"I rember encountering a directionless murderer twelve years ago who had schizophrenia, and it was intermittent."

"When not having an episode, he was just like a normal person."

"Only during an episode would he kill indiscriminately."

"Moreover, such people have no mory of any cris committed during their episodes."

"I rember that suspect killed seven people in succession back then."

Hearing this, Zhang Yean widened her eyes, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and almost exclaid: "Killed seven people? Was he executed in the end?"

Mr. Fu smiled helplessly, "The law exempts cris committed by those with intermittent ntal illness during episodes from criminal punishnt."

"The murderer only underwent compulsory dical treatnt without any substantial punitive asures."

"What? That’s such a loss!"

"The families didn’t receive justice legally, nor any economic compensation, right?"

"Exactly!"

"For soone with schizophrenia, they have no source of inco, and the family has spent a lot on dical expenses."

"So, in the end, the families of the deceased didn’t receive much compensation."

Li Jian shook his head after hearing this and said, "I also rember this case."

"I must say, it truly is a tragedy."

"But, concerning the cris committed by ntally ill people during episodes, we all feel deeply regretful."

Hearing this, Jiang An also put down his chopsticks.

He said, "Did his second wife say he had a ntal illness?"

"At the ti, the doctor diagnosed him with signs of schizophrenia."

"However, in our investigation, there’s no indication that Li Lei engaged in unconscious behavior during cohabitation."

Jiang An supplented, "In other words, they did have violent tendencies, but they were actions carried out consciously."

Jiang An sighed lightly after hearing this, "For those with ntal issues, the gap between having and not having a ntal illness is actually very distinct."

Zhang Yean, feeling unsatisfied, said gravely, "If he’s really confird to have a ntal illness, wouldn’t that also exempt him from criminal punishnt?"

Mr. Li replied enigmatically, "That’s a possibility."

"However, as of now, the possibility that he is not ntally ill is quite small."

"Throughout the investigation, there’s no evidence showing he displayed symptoms of ntal illness."

"His wife only ntioned that Li Lei had signs of ntal abnormality, but he wasn’t diagnosed as ntally ill."

After saying this, he turned to Mr. Fu and said, "Mr. Fu, how did your group’s investigations go?"

Mr. Fu took out a notebook from his briefcase, flipped it open, and took a look.
