Chapter 137: Three Fires for the New Chief, The First One Ignites!
At 10:30 in the morning, the criminal investigation meeting ended.
Jiang An packed up his notebook, preparing to get up and leave.
Zhang Yean came over and said with a smile, "Jiang An, congratulations."
Jiang An turned his head and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Jiang, you must take good care of me."
Wan came up behind him, patting his shoulder.
"Brother, please support my work more in the future."
Zhang Yean rolled her eyes at him, "Taking care of you? Do you mean taking you to the crime scene to broaden your knowledge?"
"When I say care, I mean personal guidance, not work-related mentoring."
Finally, Wan whispered, "Sister, be at peace."
"Wan, I believe in science!"
Zhang Yean looked unconvinced, "I don't believe that just mentioning something casually will lead to a case happening."
Wan picked up his notebook and left.
He returned to the office, just made a cup of tea, and heard the familiar ring of the landline.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
Suddenly, the teacup in Wan's hand shook slightly.
An ominous feeling welled up inside him.
He put down the teacup and walked over.
"Hello! Criminal Police Unit!"
"This is the Wuhe Police Station attendant. A naked female corpse was found in the river in the jurisdiction."
Wan said, "Secure the crime scene, I'll report to Mr. Li immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Wan quickly ran out.
"Mr. Li!"
Li Jian was reviewing documents in his office, "What's going on? Why the hurry?"
"Working for years, still not steady,"
Wan, catching his breath, said, "Mr. Li, a naked female corpse was found in the Wuhe jurisdiction."
Instantly, Li Jian looked up, surprised at Wan.
"The frequency is too high!"
"Cases are coming one after another recently!"
Wan chuckled and said, "Jiang An has just been appointed as the leader of the homicide task force."
"New officers always burn with zeal! Is this the first fire?"
"Go, go, go!"
"What kind of theory is that!"
"I told you not to speak carelessly!"
Wan scratched his head, "Brother, I was just joking!"
"Notify Jiang An, Zhang Yean to meet us downstairs."
Two minutes later, Wan arrived at the forensic office.
As soon as he entered, he said, "Sister! You really are a prophet."
"A female corpse was found in Wuhe's water area."
"Mr. Li wants us to head out immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yean was stunned, turning to look at Jiang An.
"Were my words that accurate?"
Thirty minutes later, two police cars stopped by a river.
Zhang Chao from the Wuhe Police Station quickly came to meet them, "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Jian nodded.
As Zhang Chao was about to report the situation, Li Jian introduced, "This is Jiang An, the newly appointed lead of the criminal investigation breakthrough team."
Zhang Chao turned to look at Jiang An, discovered his youthful face, and felt a wave of astonishment in his heart.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang An nodded, "Briefly explain the situation at the scene."
Zhang Chao replied, "This morning, an elderly person was fishing by the river. Upon seeing the float move, he pulled hard and ended up pulling out a female corpse."
Wan standing nearby joked, "This time he caught a big fish, and a mermaid no less."
"It frightened him so much, he's still sitting over there in shock."
Following Zhang Chao's pointing, an elderly man with gray hair could be seen sitting by the greenery.
"Is the identity of the deceased clear?"
"Unclear, young girl, no documents or tattoos found on her."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian turned his head to look at the flowing river water.
"Another tough nut to crack."
"Jiang An, this is a test for you."
Wan also teased, "This is the first case for the homicide task force leader."
Jiang An turned to look at the riverbank, his gaze became sharp.
"Has the body been retrieved yet?"
Zhang Chao nodded.
"The Blue Whale Salvage Team has dragged the body to the shore."
"Let's go! Let's check the body first!"
Subsequently, Li Jian, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan walked towards the riverbank.
Very quickly!
A fair-skinned, slender woman appeared in the four's field of vision.
Aside from the face deformation due to water exposure, there were no obvious signs of decay yet.
Jiang An opened the toolbox and took out a pair of latex surgical gloves to put on.
Zhang Yean, carrying a camera, stood next to him.
Li Jian surveyed the surroundings and saw many onlookers by the roadside and on the bridge.
"Wan, quickly watch the people around, don't let them take pictures."
"Got it!"
Wan called two police officers from the station nearby and walked over together.
"Move along!"
"Move along!"
"What's there to see about a dead body."
....
Meanwhile, Jiang An approached the riverbank and crouched next to the body.
The deceased was not wearing clothes and no gold or silver jewelry was seen.
The fair skin had lost all color.
At the navel on the abdomen, a spider web-like dark brown was visible.
That is the venous network of decomposition after human death.
Slight decay, not forming a "giant's view," still maintaining a shapely figure.
"Sister, please take photos to record the deceased's original state."
Zhang Yean lifted the camera, focused, and pressed the shutter with a "click."
She put down the camera and asked, "This is a bit strange, the deceased had long nails with polish, suggesting a fashionable woman, why wouldn't she wear any clothes?"
As soon as she finished, Wan said, "Is it possible the deceased was wearing a dress, which was loose, and got washed away in the water?"
Zhang Yean turned to ask, "Even if wearing a dress, one would at least wear underwear, wouldn't one? Not even wearing underwear?"
Wan chuckled and said, "Perhaps personal habits vary."
