Chapter 44 Salute (Please collect, please recommend)
Yang Fei didn't look at the others.
He lazily watched Cai Shuwen, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
He said indifferently, "I scold you because I have my reasons."
"You are also a senior criminal police officer, yet you conduct your investigations so carelessly and arrogantly. How can you justify the badge on your chest?"
Cai Shuwen was scolded by him again and was gnashing his teeth in anger.
But Yang Fei didn't wait for him to speak and bent down to point at the wound on Wu Wei's neck.
He said indifferently, "First, let's talk about the cause of death."
"The knife wound on Wu Wei's neck is neat, and the edge of the wound is bluish-gray."
"This indicates that the knife wound was created intentionally after Wu Wei's death."
"The purpose is to conceal Wu Wei's actual cause of death, to confuse the police's direction and clues in the investigation of the case."
"What, impossible!"
"You're talking nonsense, Wu Wei was clearly killed with a knife."
...
As soon as Yang Fei said this, many police officers exclaimed in surprise.
All eyes were fixed on the wound on Wu Wei's neck.
Yang Fei gave a cold laugh, squatted down, and flipped through the wound on Wu Wei's neck with a medical forceps.
He said indifferently, "Do you see this wound? It's gray and blue yet lacks any red coloration of blood sediment. What does this indicate?"
He stood up and looked coldly at the seven or eight detectives, his eyes sharp and icy.
The seven or eight detectives looked at each other, none able to answer.
Yang Fei sneered and said, "This wound has no hint of blood color, which indicates that when someone made the wound, Wu Wei's blood circulation had already slowed down considerably or even stopped."
"In other words, his heart had stopped beating, which is why the wound is this color. Do you understand?"
Cai Shuwen had been a senior detective for over a decade.
As soon as Yang Fei explained it, he immediately realized.
Cai Shuwen rushed over and examined the color of Wu Wei's wound carefully.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he was stunned.
Yang Fei sneered, his gaze not even deigning to look at the others, let alone Cai Shuwen.
He said coldly, "That was just the first point."
"Secondly, the knife wound on Wu Wei's neck is smooth and even; it couldn't possibly have been made during a struggle."
"If it were inflicted during a struggle, his muscles would be tense, and the knife mark would definitely exhibit slight, irregular serrations."
"And the angle of penetration wouldn't be so smooth."
"In conclusion, the cause of Wu Wei's death was certainly not being stabbed with a knife."
"Excellent!"
All the people, including Cai Shuwen, were staring blankly at Yang Fei in silence.
However, Feng Cai'er applauded loudly, her excitement evident.
"So, what is the real cause of Wu Wei's death?"
Cai Shuwen was stunned for a moment before finally asking Yang Fei.
He had lost his earlier arrogance and was almost pleading for guidance.
Yang Fei snapped his fingers and smiled.
"Good question. Wu Wei's jaws are dark, his tongue-coating is black with a hint of purple-red."
"I am sure that Wu Wei died of poisoning."
He glanced at Feng Cai'er and said indifferently, "I happen to have some understanding of this poison."
"It's the S413 reagent that circulates on the black market, colorless and tasteless, and violently toxic."
"However, after causing death, this poison leaves no obvious traces on the exterior."
"Most people would assume that it's a sudden death due to cardiac arrest."
He frowned slightly, then said, "This reagent is usually circulated within Assassin Groups."
"It's unexpected to me that someone in Yannan City would use this poison for murder."
He looked at Cai Shuwen, who appeared completely bewildered, and shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way, the time of Wu Wei's death should be around midnight last night."
"His pupil dilation and muscle softness were both affected by the poison."
"Therefore, your estimation of Wu Wei's time of death, based on these two factors, was incorrect."
Hearing this, Cai Shuwen was thoroughly convinced.
Yet due to his pride, he couldn't say a word.
After finishing his explanation, Yang Fei walked interestedly down the road for more than a hundred meters, examining it closely.
All the criminal police, including Feng Cai'er, were captivated by his brilliant criminal investigation reasoning and followed behind him.
Yang Fei chuckled and said, "A fight did occur here, but please look at this..."
As he spoke, he picked a golden bristle from the ground and found a black bristle on a tree at the side of the pathway.
Yang Fei brought the two bristles up close to Cai Shuwen and said with a smile, "According to my judgment, these are from two dogs that fought here."
His eyes moved towards the bushes by the pathway, his face carrying a smile.
He spoke softly, "Judging by the footprints on the grass, one dog is a black Husky and the other a Sheepdog."
"The Sheepdog was bitten, it left blood behind and ran away from here."
"This was definitely not a fight to the death between two adult men here."
Cai Shuwen, following Yang Fei's gaze, indeed found a jumble of dog prints on the grass.
It was only because he had been presumptuous, jumping to conclusions, that he hadn't noticed them before.
Yang Fei looked on amused at the group of police officers standing dumb as wooden chickens.
He said indifferently, "What was clearly just a dog fight became a suspected murder scene because a body showed up here."
"The suspect used a little trick, and comrades of the police, you were all led around in circles."
"I call that barking up the wrong tree, don't I?"
Cai Shuwen's cheeks were burning hot.
Yang Fei's words were like slap after slap on his face, profoundly uncomfortable.
The few criminal detectives present also couldn't help but lower their heads.
They could have never imagined that this seemingly carefree guy,
Actually possessed such a keen sense of observation and strong, meticulous logical reasoning abilities.
Just who was this person?
A real monster!
Feng Cai'er was beaming with excitement.
She looked at the police, who had just been full of themselves, now crestfallen.
She couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, stealing a glance at Yang Fei, her eyes full of tender affection.
Yang Fei immediately caught the special meaning in Feng Cai'er's eyes.
He chuckled, and while no one was paying attention, blew a kiss at Little Police Flower.
Feng Cai'er's heart skipped a beat; she glared at him fiercely and turned her head away.
Cai Shuwen was stunned for a moment, remembering what he'd just said, his cheeks burning like fire.
Especially that young police officer from the brigade, clueless, still standing dumbly in place.
On the stick in his hand, he still held a piece of dog excrement.
Cai Shuwen couldn't help but glare fiercely at the young officer.
He walked up to Yang Fei, stood at attention, gave a sharp salute, and sincerely apologized.
"Brother, your strong criminal investigation reasoning abilities have truly won my respect."
"On behalf of all the colleagues from the district's criminal investigation brigade, I apologize for our rudeness just now."
"Please accept the respect and apology from all our criminal investigation brigade colleagues."
All the criminal police saluted Yang Fei in unison.
In each of their eyes was filled with admiration.
Those detectives, some who had been working for over a decade in criminal investigations,
And the ones with less experience had also been at it for five to six years.
They all knew that to analyze a case so clearly within just a few minutes of investigation, without any modern high-tech tools,
Required immense logical reasoning ability, and an almost monstrous level of observational skill!
Such strength deserved everyone's utmost respect.
