Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 465 New direction of suspicion

The forensic room of the branch is clean and tidy with a serious atmosphere. Everything is in order, as if it is a quiet world isolated from the outside world.

The chief forensic doctor naturally couldn't work, so it seemed that Qin Lang would tidy up and clean the room every day.

This is what new people do, they should take care of basic hygiene first.

"Captain Chen, please sit down." Qin Lang moved the chair enthusiastically. It was obvious that he knew Chen Yi and that he held a high position in his heart.

They both have the surname Qin. Qin Fei saw the look of a little fanboy in Qin Lang. He was probably the kind of person who admired Chen Yi very much.

If you are very passionate about a certain profession, it is normal to admire masters of the same profession, just as people who love painting admire Picasso and aspire to become Picasso.

Chen Yi did not sit down, but walked slowly in the room. On the right was the laboratory table, on which were placed various instruments and reagents, from microscopes to scalpels, from chemical reagents to biological samples.

On the wall next to the laboratory table are some books related to medicine and forensic medicine.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, reminding everyone that they were in a sterile environment. There was a separate room in the dissection room, but the door was closed with a sign prohibiting non-staff from entering.

"Captain Chen, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Qin Lang walked in front, trying to predict Chen Yi's possible needs, hoping to leave a good impression in front of the other party.

"no need."

Chen Yi found a place to sit down and signaled Qin Fei and Qin Lang that they didn't have to stand.

"Captain Chen, Director Ma may need another half an hour. How about I go and talk to him?" Qin Lang asked.

If Director Ma knew that Chen Yi was coming, he would definitely not hold the meeting. A meeting is not as important as meeting Chen Yi.

"No need." Chen Yi looked at Qin Lang, "Joined last year?"

Qin Lang nodded: "Yes, Captain Chen, last year."

Chen Yi: "How long will it take to turn straight?"

Qin Lang: “Two months.”

"Two months?" Chen Yi smiled. "Being able to become a regular employee ahead of schedule shows that you are very good."

Qin Lang was overjoyed, but he was very modest: "No, no, I am far behind Captain Chen. You skipped the internship period and quickly became a deputy commander. This is hard to imagine in the police force. Strictly speaking, it is impossible."

Qin Fei on the side was surprised. The other party knew a lot. He probably tried to learn more about the idol he just mentioned.

Chen Yi did not respond, and changed the subject directly: "Go and bring me the notes on the Yan Lina case."

Notes are manuscripts and drafts. Before issuing an autopsy report, the forensic doctor will definitely make a lot of records, and then streamline these records to form an identification report that complies with procedures.

The identification report must be signed by at least two forensic doctors.

If the bureau does not have enough forensic doctors, it will need to borrow them or ask for help from the detachment. Generally speaking, there will be enough, depending on the situation in each region. The scarcity of forensic doctors is an objective fact, and qualified ones will be snatched up by various units, especially those in urgent need, such as remote county bureaus.

"Yan Lina's case?" Qin Lang's expression froze for a moment, and then he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, okay, Captain Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go look for it."

Chen Yi's eyes followed Qin Lang's leaving figure, watching him rummaging through the file cabinet.

I can notice that the other person's eyes would occasionally glance over here.

Chen Yi and Qin Fei looked at each other. One person's judgment might not be accurate, and he needed to make sure whether Qin Fei had noticed anything.

Facing Chen Yi's inquiring gaze, Qin Fei nodded slightly, indicating that Qin Lang's reaction was a little bit wrong when he heard about the Yan Lina case. Maybe it was because he was not prepared for the accident, or maybe it was for other reasons.

Five minutes passed and Qin Lang was still searching. The rustling sound of papers flipping echoed in the room.

"Qin Lang." Chen Yi suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Qin Lang turned his head suddenly, frightened.

Chen Yi: "There has only been one murder case in Tieping Branch recently. It's just a note. It shouldn't take so long to find it, right? You have organized the forensic room in an orderly manner and must have classified it. I think it should be found in a short time."

Qin Lang did not respond immediately. He thought for three seconds and said, "The notes are not very important, so... I can't remember where I put them."

Chen Yi said no more and waited quietly.

There was no point in delaying time and waiting for the chief forensic doctor to come back, because he was sitting here and no small movement could escape his eyes.

If there was a problem with the notes, things would be simple, but he was very reluctant to see this happen. Otherwise, the Tieping Branch would be without a forensic doctor, and the entire branch's case-handling capabilities would be greatly reduced, which would basically be like having an arm broken.

Forensic scientists not only serve the criminal investigation team, but also the economic investigation, public security, plainclothes, etc. teams all need their assistance.

For example, injury examination is a forensic identification. If two people fight on the street, it is not the job of the criminal investigation team, but generally falls under the jurisdiction of public security.

Time passed little by little, and Qin Lang didn't really hesitate until Director Ma came back. After finding the manuscript, he handed it to Chen Yi: "Captain Chen, it's all here."

There are not many manuscripts, just a few pages, which is far less than the number of pages in the file.

Chen Yi gave half to Qin Fei, and then started reading it from the beginning himself.

Qin Fei chose to look from the back to the front.

"Sit down, why are you standing?" Chen Yi said without raising his head.

"Oh... okay, okay, thank you, Captain Chen." Qin Lang sat down quickly.

Chen Yi read it very quickly because he had already browsed through the autopsy report and was familiar with every detail. He and Qin Fei swapped half and continued reading, finishing it in five or six minutes.

After reading it, he closed the manuscript and looked up at Qin Lang.

Chen Yi's eyes frightened Qin Lang, and his heart tightened: "What...what's wrong, Captain Chen? Is there something wrong with the record?"

"There's nothing wrong with the records." Chen Yi shook his head, "But... it seems like a page is missing."

Missing a page?
Qin Lang was confused, and Qin Fei was also puzzled. He took the book from Chen Yi and read it for the second time. He didn't notice where a page was missing just now.

Unlike a formal autopsy report, it is normal for the content of a manuscript to be fragmented, making it more like an essay.

"Impossible?" Qin Lang denied it.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Then I guess I read it wrong. Qin Fei, take this manuscript and find the full video of the autopsy. Watch it carefully."

Qin Fei stood up: "Yes."

The autopsy video is case information and is very important. Its authenticity is far higher than the manuscript and autopsy report, because the manuscript and autopsy report are man-made, and as long as they are man-made, there is a possibility of error.

Video recording, generally can't go wrong.

Qin Lang: "..."

He didn't know what to say, but it was already clear that the other party had bad intentions.

After Qin Fei left, he hesitated for a long time and said with a wry smile: "Captain Chen, I knew you when I was studying at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Since then, you have been my idol. I still regret why I didn't apply to the Public Security University. However, forensic doctors and criminal police are similar. They are both frontline heroes who fight against crimes and punish crimes. I really hope to become someone like you."

Chen Yi listened carefully and asked, "What do you want to express?"

Qin Lang: "Captain Chen suspects there is something wrong with this case?"

Chen Yi: "What else? Come to Tieping Branch for vacation?"

Qin Lang was silent for a while, then said, "There is absolutely no problem with anything that has been handled by me."

"Hmm?" Chen Yi began to re-examine the young man. He seemed to be playing word games, which he didn't like. "What about those who didn't get involved with you?"

Qin Lang was frightened by this question and quickly said, "I don't know about the others. That's not what I meant. Captain Chen, don't think too much. I am only 100% sure of myself, that's all."

Chen Yi understood that it was right for people to only trust themselves. Even parents would lie sometimes, right?
The direction of the investigation of this case may have to be changed. The original focus should have been on the suspect Yu Zhanlin. He did think so at the beginning and never doubted the file. He came to the forensic room just for routine inquiries. After asking the forensic doctor, he also had to ask for trace examination.

The entire technical investigation team must go through it again to find out if there are any negligence points.

I didn't expect to find something at the first stop. At present... the autopsy report is questionable. This is judged from Qin Lang's reaction. If there is any doubt, we have to investigate.

It would be fine if this case was merely controversial or the investigation was limited, but if it involved other things, the nature would be completely different.

"Okay, I believe you." Chen Yi said. Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and felt sweat starting to form on his forehead.

Meeting and getting to know Chen Yi in this way made him feel a little sad, as it meant that his first impression in his idol's mind was not good.

But impressions can be changed, as long as you have a clear conscience.

The room went quiet and both sides remained silent.

After a long time, Qin Lang mustered up his courage and asked, "Captain Chen, I have nothing to do anyway, would you like to take a look at the appraisal report I made?"

This is to demonstrate one's abilities.

Chen Yi said simply: "Not interested."

Qin Lang: "..."

Hey.

He sighed secretly in his heart and felt even sadder.

This is like a star-chaser who finally squeezes to the front and sees his idol. He thinks he can have a conversation, but due to objective reasons, the other person just gives him a cold look and walks away.

Find someone to reason.

Twenty minutes later, Ma Lichuan returned before Qin Fei and came to the forensic room.

Seeing the strange man sitting in front of Qin Lang with his back to him, he was slightly stunned: "Xiao Qin, who is this?"

Qin Lang was about to speak when Chen Yi turned around.

"Captain Chen?" Ma Lichuan, who was in his forties, changed his expression and stepped forward. "Why did Captain Chen come to my place, Xiao Qin? Why didn't you notify me?"

Chen Yi stood up and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Forensic Doctor Ma. I just came here uninvited so it's a bit sudden. I hope it won't interfere with your work?"

"No time, no time, come and sit down." Ma Lichuan asked Chen Yi to sit down, and then said to Qin Lang, "Go and get some water. Haven't you gotten Captain Chen some water in all this time? You are so tactless!"

Qin Lang then realized that Chen Yi hadn't even drunk his saliva, and hurried to find a cup.

Chen Yi and Ma Lichuan started chatting.

"Doesn't Director Ma know that I'm in Taicheng?"

"I know, I know. A colleague mentioned it during the meeting just now. He arrived last night, right?"

Ma Lichuan instinctively reached for a cigarette, but gave up after realizing that smoking was prohibited here.

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes, I arrived last night. I had a meal with Director Li and others and talked about Yan Lina's case."

"Yan Lina's case?" Ma Lichuan's reaction was the same as Qin Lang's. He was confused. "What's wrong with this case? Is there any problem?"

Chen Yi didn't beat around the bush: "I read the case file last night. I can't say there are problems, but I can't say there aren't any. Captain Sun and I have discussed this. We still need to try to figure out some details. Otherwise, this case can't be said to be perfectly closed."

Ma Lichuan said, "Is it a problem with the investigation?"

Chen Yiping looked him in the eye and said, "No, it could also be a problem with the autopsy report."

Bang!

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Lang, who was pouring water, seemed to be scalded by the hot water, and the cup slipped from his palm and fell to the ground.

The quality is quite good. It did not break after being dropped from a height of one meter. Even the damaged fragments are not visible, at least not to the naked eye.

"Be careful! You're so impatient."

Ma Lichuan turned around and scolded him.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a little hot." Qin Lang quickly apologized and went to pick up the cup, then took a new one.

Ma Lichuan reminded: "Use warm water, don't use hot water directly."

Chen Yi's gaze switched back and forth between the two people, and a chill gradually spread over his body.

If Ma Lichuan thinks he is young and easy to fool, he will suffer a great loss.

After scolding Qin Lan, Ma Lichuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Chen, I'm just a regular student, so I was a little careless."

Chen Yi said calmly: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you are careless about trivial matters in life, just don't be careless at work."

Ma Lichuan praised: "Qin Lang is a top student at SJTU and is very hardworking. He is much better than I was when I was young. When I retire, he should be able to take over my position."

The previous topic seemed to have been skipped over, and Ma Lichuan acted as if he hadn't heard it.

[Problems with the autopsy report] No forensic doctor can ignore this sentence, not only for his own future, but also for his own technical self-esteem.

Just imagine, if you were to say that a professional singer is singing out of tune, would the other person not care?

Chen Yi did not point out the suspicion of changing the subject. At most, he could just say it again.

"Director Ma, did you do Yan Lina's autopsy report?"

Ma Lichuan nodded: "Yes, I did it. Oh, and Qin Lang, we did it together."

Chen Yi: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Difficulties?" Ma Lichuan was surprised. "What's so difficult about accidental death? She died of a ruptured hemangioma. Didn't Captain Sun verify her medical history?"

Chen Yi: "Who requested cremation?"

Ma Lichuan: "After the case is closed, it will be handed over to the family, who will cremate it themselves."

At this time, Qin Lang brought the warm water over and handed it to Chen Yi, who took it.

"Captain Chen, are there any questions regarding the autopsy?"

Chen Yi took a sip of water and said, "No, I just went through it to see if there is anything new. After talking to Director Ma, I will go to the Trace Inspection Office to talk."

Ma Lichuan said "oh" and took the cup of water from Qin Lang. He said, "I'm a forensic doctor. I can only provide the appraisal report. I don't know anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Without waiting for Ma Lichuan to speak, Chen Yi spoke.

The door opened, and Qin Fei walked behind Chen Yi. After looking at Qin Lang and Ma Lichuan, he leaned over and whispered, "The video is missing a small part."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What time?"

Qin Fei: "Take off the clothes. The deceased was wearing pajamas in the hotel one second, and the screen went black the next second. Ten minutes later, the screen reappeared and the clothes on the deceased were gone. There was no problem with the autopsy process."

Chen Yi nodded and looked at Ma Lichuan.

"What's wrong, Captain Chen?" Ma Lichuan asked.

Chen Yi: "Why was the autopsy video black for more than ten minutes?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lichuan said helplessly that there was some problem with the video at the time, and when they reviewed it, they found that ten minutes were missing, but it did not affect the video, as it was just the removal of the deceased's clothes, and the rest of the complete autopsy process was all there.

Chen Yi: "Did you take off your clothes for ten minutes?"

Ma Lichuan said, "This is normal. Autopsy is a delicate job. It is different from taking off clothes on our own. We have to do it slowly to avoid damaging tiny traces. Captain Chen is a former criminal police officer, so he may not understand it very well."

"I don't know much?" Chen Yi chuckled. "Okay, just pretend that I don't know much, but I still have some common sense. By the way, my fiancée is a forensic doctor at the Yangcheng City Bureau. Even if I don't know much, I still know the basics."

If we really compare forensic skills, Ma Lichuan may not be his opponent, and he is too lazy to argue about who is better in this regard.

"Oh? Captain Chen is engaged? Congratulations." Ma Lichuan congratulated.

Chen Yi: "..."

Okay, you’re quite good at playing. Let’s chat more.
