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

It's important to know that in the field of forensic medicine, the emphasis is on mentorship and training.

Zhang Wei, as one of the forensic doctors in the municipal bureau, is responsible for providing forensic support in the Qingshan County area.

After all, there weren't many forensic doctors in Jiangcheng in 2003.

There are a total of four forensic doctors in the municipal bureau. In addition to being responsible for investigating difficult cases throughout the city, each of them is also responsible for the forensic work of a district or county.

It can be said that Zhang Wei is very familiar with the situation in Qingshan County.

However, his relationship with the Qingshan County Criminal Investigation Team was just so-so.

Whenever a death occurred, he would always find various excuses to cover it up, reducing the efficiency of the entire investigation.

Of course, the main purpose was to find some sense of existence.

At this time, two unnatural deaths occurred in Qingshan County, neither of which were reported to him, which clearly saddened him.

Then, he looked at Jiang Chen and said with a forced smile, "The criminal investigation team of Qingshan County is indeed very capable. A young police officer can independently complete the investigation and examination of unnatural deaths."

Do you realize how much responsibility you bear for unnatural deaths?

"If there are any problems with the determination of death, who will be responsible? Will it be a young forensic doctor like him, or Li Jian, the head of the criminal investigation team in Qingshan County, or Director Ma, the deputy director of the Qingshan County Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation?"

What was originally a very pleasant morning greeting has suddenly turned into a tense atmosphere.

Wang Hui grinned and said, "Brother Wei, this... shouldn't be a big problem."

"How much practical knowledge does a young forensic doctor actually possess?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger.

I worked hard all night last night, and now you're suddenly saying I'm a forensic pathologist with very little experience?

Is this how they try to intimidate me on our very first meeting?

If I told you about the forensic cheat code, you'd probably be scared half to death.

Then, Zhang Wei, however, persisted, asking, "Young man, which school did you graduate from? Who was your forensic medicine advisor?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen replied, "I didn't study forensic medicine; I studied veterinary medicine."

"My knowledge of forensic medicine consists of nothing more than reading a forensic anatomy book for a month."

These words left Zhang Wei stunned.

After a long silence, his face flushed red, he said, "How can a veterinarian do forensic work? Nonsense! Your Qingshan Criminal Investigation Department is absolutely blundering!"

At that moment, Wang Hui and Jiang Chen stood there, stunned.

After a brief pause, Wang Hui smiled and explained, "Brother Wei, Brother Jiang Chen has a strong ability to learn on his own and played a significant role in the investigation of these two cases."

"Doctors are required to have a medical license. Although forensic doctors work with the dead, you can't just do whatever you want, grabbing any random veterinarian to examine corpses!"

As he spoke, he immediately picked up his phone and dialed Li Jian's number.

The moment the call connected, he blurted out, "Captain Li, has your Qingshan County abandoned all work principles? Is this how you handle unnatural deaths so carelessly?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jian on the other end of the phone was completely baffled.

He was furious after a night of fruitless interrogation, and now he finally found an outlet for his anger.

"Zhang, the forensic doctor, did you take the wrong medicine this morning?"

Previously, Li Jian always suppressed his anger towards Zhang Wei.

They always greet you with a smile, personally pick you up and drop you off whenever you're at a location, provide you with good food and drinks, and sometimes even bring you local specialties.

Now that he has forensic doctor Jiang Chen in his team, his tone has become much stronger.

From then on, those frustrating days would never come again.

Clearly, Zhang Wei hadn't expected Li Jian to say such a thing.

He paused, then said, "I'm the forensic liaison officer for Qingshan County. Why weren't you reporting these two murder cases to me?"

"What report are you going to give me? We have our own forensic pathologist now, we can handle it ourselves."

"Fine, then you said it," Zhang Wei said angrily, "If anything goes wrong in this case, I will absolutely not take any responsibility!"

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone, then turned around and stormed upstairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Wang Hui and Jiang Chen exchanged glances.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "This... how did we manage to offend someone right from the start?"

At that moment, Wang Hui's head was also buzzing.

He originally thought he could happily submit the test results and go home to rest, but how come he was met with such a disappointment first thing in the morning?

Although Jiang Chen knew that the forensic doctors from the Municipal Bureau did have a certain airs, offending them would make it difficult to carry out his work in the future.

"Brother Hui, I think we should be more humble in the future. If there are cases in the county and we need to ask the city bureau for help, we won't be able to ask for help."

Wang Hui smiled and said, "With you here, I think your skill level is higher than those forensic doctors in the Municipal Bureau."

"Hi!" Jiang Chen waved his hand and said seriously, "Actually, sometimes when we invite forensic doctors from the Municipal Bureau to come down and provide guidance, it's not really because we want them to provide guidance, but rather to let them take on the risks and responsibilities of autopsies."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui froze, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. He hadn't expected Jiang Chen's thinking to be so profound.

From providing guidance to taking responsibility, this is practically murder in the blink of an eye!

Then, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Jiang Chen, I think you're quite clever; you even thought of that."

Jiang Chen smiled but remained silent.

Previously, as a leader of the municipal bureau, he provided guidance to district and county public security bureaus, which gave him a deep understanding of the situation.

On the surface, when the district or county public security bureau asks him to go down to guide a case, there is a 99.9% chance that he is going to take on unnecessary risks and responsibilities.

Two minutes later, the two men carried the deceased's stomach contents to the toxicology lab.

At this time, the staff on duty at the toxicology lab have already started their shift.

There was no special explanation regarding the testing of these sedative and hypnotic drugs.

Soon, the toxicology analyst completed the registration of the physical evidence and prepared to conduct the tests.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen asked, "Senior brother, if poison is detected in the deceased's stomach, how can we determine whether the deceased drank it themselves or was forced to ingest it by someone else?"

Upon hearing this question, the bespectacled lab technician paused slightly.

He had indeed not thought about this question.

After a long pause, he replied, "We are only responsible for the specimens submitted for testing. The specific route of entry into the deceased's body may require forensic examination and analysis. In this regard, I think forensic doctor Zhang Wei is very professional. You can consult him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you!"
