Forensic Doctor 2003: I Became a Legend on the Front Lines of Criminal Investigation

As soon as Li Jian finished speaking, the woman opposite him became even more imposing.

With her hands on her hips, she stepped forward and said, "Officer, don't make false accusations. We treat the elderly very well."

"Since he fell ill, we have stayed by his side, taking care of his bodily needs and taking him to see doctors all over the country."

"What? Now you've become a sinner, a murderer."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she began to sob.

At this moment, her husband, who was standing next to her, quickly patted her shoulder and said, "Wife, don't cry. I believe justice will prevail."

"As long as we haven't done anything wrong, we're not afraid of the police investigating us."

"You say you haven't done anything wrong?"

Li Jian chuckled coldly twice. "Alright, take them to the interrogation room, and we'll talk things over slowly."

At this moment, the police officer standing next to him still looked completely bewildered.

To be precise, I've been completely bewildered since I first suspected them.

Originally, he planned to leave the police station and then go back to sleep.

After all, there are very few actual police incidents in rural areas at night.

Most rural police station duty officers sleep through the night.

Some bold police officers even had no problem turning off their phones.

How did this turn into a murder case?

The officer on duty gestured to the two auxiliary police officers beside him and said, "You two, quickly take him to the car."

After the auxiliary police officer led the two people to the car, he turned to Li and said, "Captain Li, I think this forensic doctor is new. How reliable is his conclusion?"

"I had already learned about your situation in detail before you came. The elderly man had indeed expressed suicidal thoughts on several occasions, and he was suffering from cancer. You know, late-stage cancer patients suffer a lot."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian turned to look at him and said, "That young man is a new forensic doctor who just arrived in Qingshan County."

"Are they official police officers?"

"Whether it's formal or informal, what we value is professional competence."

The police officer on duty at the police station twitched his lips and said, "I've never encountered this before. The last few times I saw it was forensic doctors from the municipal bureau who came to provide support."

Li Jian then said, "From now on, Jiang Chen will be responsible for any unnatural deaths in Qingshan."

At that moment, the young officer on duty wanted to say something, but Li Jian had already turned and left, walking towards the back of the alley.

He stood there, completely bewildered.

Can this young forensic doctor really make an accurate judgment?

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly and turned to walk towards the police car next to him.

Five minutes later, Li Jian arrived at the back of the alley.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and Wang Hui, working together, had completed the examination of the body.

From a forensic perspective, there are only two examination steps for any corpse: autopsy and external examination.

Examination of the body's surface includes examination of clothing and skin.

The most important thing when inspecting clothing is to check for tears or the adhesion of dust or other substances.

In particular, does the woman's clothing include any abnormal wearing of underwear? These questions have profound forensic implications.

For example, if a female victim is dressed well on the outside, but her underwear is worn inside out, especially her panties, then there is obviously a problem.

Additionally, if her bra clasp was fastened incorrectly, it would also provide evidence of sexual assault.

Therefore, these are all the intricacies of forensic medicine.

However, these were all a piece of cake for Jiang Chen.

Because his cheat system already possesses the highest level of forensic expertise, comparable to Chen Shixian, the forensic expert from the Dragon Kingdom.

Li Jian walked over and asked, "Jiang Chen, how is he? Are there any external injuries on the body?"

Jiang Chen clapped his hands and said, "So far, there are no external injuries on the body."

"In that case, it's very likely the deceased died from poisoning?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "That possibility does exist, but whether or not there was poisoning, no signs of livor mortis were found on the body surface."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui, who was standing to the side, scratched his head, completely bewildered.

He looked at Jiang Chen and then asked, "Junior brother, I've noticed that your professional level is getting higher and higher, and your expression is becoming more and more profound."

What does it mean that no obvious signs of poisoning were seen on the mortis or lividity of the body?

Upon hearing this, Li Jian smiled and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen explained, "Senior, let me briefly explain the knowledge I've gained from studying forensic pathology books recently."

"The lividity of the dead is usually dark red."

"However, there are two very special cases: The first case is that carbon monoxide poisoning is cherry red in color. This is because carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin during the process of carbon monoxide poisoning, resulting in a lot of free oxygen in the blood vessels, so it appears bright red on the blood vessels."

"Another possibility is nitrate poisoning. After nitrate poisoning, it combines with iron ions in the body, forming livor mortis, which is a dark gray color."

"However, this livor mortis appears to be dark red, which is more accurately described as a typical livor mortis."

"Oh! I see. Even something as simple as livor mortis has such intricacies," Wang Hui remarked with admiration.

"Hey, these are just color changes. The most important thing on this corpse is the location of livor mortis."

After listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, Li Jian grinned.

Suddenly, he felt that the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Qingshan County Public Security Bureau had struck gold.

I never imagined that a veterinarian could have such profound knowledge of forensic science.

Jiang Chen's knowledge extends beyond the practical level; his theoretical knowledge is also very rich.

He smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, I've discovered that you, a forensic doctor who came from another field, are actually more capable than those with formal training."

Jiang Chen grinned and said, "Captain Li, you flatter me."

"These are just the basics. Compared to the forensic doctors at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it's like the difference between a student and a teacher."

"That's not necessarily true! The forensic doctors at the city bureau aren't necessarily as skilled as you; they just encounter more corpses."

After a brief explanation, Li Jian said, "They were just denying that they killed anyone. I'll go to the interrogation room to conduct the interrogation. You can continue the examination of the body here."

Jiang Chen said, "Okay, Captain Li, we plan to finish the autopsy tonight and send the stomach contents to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Science and Technology Research Institute for testing."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you can solve the case tomorrow after working overtime tonight, you can take half a day off."

Upon hearing the word "rest," Wang Hui instantly perked up and said, "Captain Li, I'll remember what you said."

It's important to understand that for criminal investigation teams, getting leave is a bit more difficult than getting paid.

Li Jian raised his hand and pointed, saying, "My condition is that the case is solved! If we can't solve the case, none of us will escape."

As he spoke, he immediately got into the police car parked on the side of the road.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and Wang Hui looked at each other, and Jiang Chen said, "Brother Hui, let's prepare the tools now and start the dissection on the spot."

After hearing this, Wang Hui turned around and looked around; it was pitch black.

Only the survey lamp in my hand can illuminate the area in front of me.

Every now and then, some unidentified birds make sounds.

Finally, he turned to look at the corpse on the ground, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Let's begin..."
