The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

5 o'clock in the afternoon, Criminal Investigation Team's meeting room.

Although it was about time to get off work, everyone was still in their uniforms, holding notebooks, sitting in their chairs.

Li Jian glanced at his wristwatch and then peeked at the entrance of the meeting room.

Then, he opened the notebook in front of him, preparing for the meeting.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the entrance of the meeting room.

Seeing that the meeting room was filled with people, Zhang Chao hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, I apologize, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

Li Jian looked at the door, "No worries! We haven't started discussing the case yet, find a place and sit down first!"

Immediately, Zhang Chao and his fellow police officers walked in and took their seats.

"Okay! Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Li Jian said, "I'm truly sorry to keep everyone here at this nearing off-work time."

"Today, everyone might have heard about the female corpse case that happened in the Wuhe jurisdiction."

"At present, we can confirm that this is a murder and corpse abandonment case."

"However, the female victim was completely naked, her identity unknown, handling a case with unidentified identity is quite challenging."

"Therefore, we are having a small meeting here, to initially sort out and discuss the case situation."

"First, let's have Mr. Zhang introduce the case's report situation."

Following this, Zhang Chao said, "Around 10 o'clock this morning, in our precinct's Yongming River, a female corpse was discovered, the reporter was an elderly male, who found it while fishing."

"When the reporter discovered the victim, the body was underwater, he used a fishing line to drag the body to the surface."

"After reviewing the reporting records, we found that in the past week, our precinct did not receive any missing person reports."

After Zhang Chao finished speaking, Captain Li Jian nodded lightly.

"Mr. Chen, how is your group's investigation going?"

Chen He opened his notebook and said, "Our group walked along the Yongming River upstream, examining riverbank surveillance and buildings."

In the audience, Wan quietly asked, "Buddy, did you really do the investigation all on foot today?"

Beside him, Lin Yong smiled wryly, took out his phone, and opened an app, he was far ahead in the exercise leaderboard.

"This is all because Mr. Chen cares about our physical health, giving us the chance to exercise during work hours."

Wan pouted and said, "Jealous! But your investigation this time must have been quite exhausting!"

At this moment.

Chen He opened his notebook and said, "During today's investigation, we found that 20 kilometers upstream from the body discovery site, there is a metal trash barrier with a tight grid specifically to block trash in the water."

"Therefore, judging from the upstream trash interception location, this female victim should have entered the water within these 20 kilometers."

"Within this 20 kilometer range, we examined a total of 10 surveillance cameras, and have copied the surveillance data from the past week, which will be closely checked next."

"Additionally, in this 20 kilometer range, we discovered a total of 3 sandstone plants, specializing in collecting sand and stone from the Yongming River."

Lastly, Chen He said, "Mr. Li, there are no other special discoveries!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jian asked, "Are there any residential areas around these three sandstone plants?"

Chen He replied, "One of them called the Three Sandstone Plants is next to a village."

"How many workers are there in each sandstone plant?"

Chen He flipped through the notebook in front of him.

"The scale of these three sandstone plants is about the same, each has around 10 to 15 people, as sometimes there are day laborers, so the exact number is not certain."

Li Jian nodded.

"The outdoor environment today is very hot, your field team worked hard!"

"The investigation results are very useful!"

Next, Li Jian turned and said, "Regarding the condition of the body, let's have Jiang An, the leader of the homicide spearhead group, tell us about it."

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang An.

Regarding this morning's appointed spearhead group leader.

Some were envious, some were expectant, and some were scrutinizing...

This meeting, Li Jian specially arranged for Jiang An to sit on his right side.

Unlike other people's speeches, Jiang An did not open a notebook.

He simply relied on his strong memory to report the findings on the body.

"Alright, I'll briefly talk about the important findings on the body."

"After conducting a comprehensive examination of the body, we did not find birthmarks, tattoos, or such individual characteristics on the victim."

"There are multiple, repeated pressure marks on the victim's neck."

"In addition, there's petechial hemorrhage in the victim's eye conjunctiva, and both lungs are over-inflated with gas, I analyze that the cause of death for the victim is mechanical asphyxia due to pressure on the neck."

"The victim was completely naked, with some abrasions found on the chest skin, the direction of the abrasions is from bottom to top."

"In the junction between the victim's upper lip mucosa and gums, slight silt is visible."

"Based on the form of chest skin damage and silt in the lips, it can be basically inferred that the victim was dragged by the feet post-mortem, and at that time the victim was face down."

"Moreover, based on the particles of silt inside the victim's lips, I infer that the dragging occurred at a place with sand and stone."

"In the body's examination, we found the victim's stomach full, with roughly 800 grams of food, clearly visible, such as leeks, mushrooms, and lotus root slices from barbecue food."

"Judging by the digestion level of the food in the stomach, I infer that the victim died within one hour after their last meal."
