The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

An hour later, Jiang An had already extracted the visible bones and sealed them in evidence bags.

Wan straightened his back, "Oh! My old waist!"

"Finally, we can take a break!"

Zhang Yean also stretched her neck, relieved.

However, Jiang An said, "Senior brother, senior sister, we're not done here yet!"

"There's more?"

Wan looked helpless.

Jiang An nodded, "We've only found the bones on the surface, but we haven't searched beneath the metal frame of this bed."

After saying that, Li Jian also nodded.

"There might be more bones under this iron frame bed."

Then, Li Jian and Jiang An bent down together to move the metal frame of the bed aside.

The four of them looked down, and sure enough, there were a few bones within sight.

However, they still didn't see any round skull structure.

Subsequently, the four of them cleared the bones under the bed again.

After completing the collection of the bones under the bed, Jiang An stood up and looked around once more.

On the south side near the wall, the skeleton of a burned wardrobe was still visible.

He walked straight over, seeing thick smoke still emerging from the wardrobe.

"Has anyone checked the items inside this?"

Li Jian glanced over and said in a deep voice, "The wardrobe door hasn't even been opened, so probably not yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang An fixed his gaze on the wardrobe door, noticing that it was closed, with a uniform distribution of smoke marks locally.

Judging by this, it's basically certain that the wardrobe door was closed when the fire broke out indoors.

"Senior sister! Please use your camera to record the appearance of this wardrobe door."

Zhang Yean hurriedly responded, "On my way!"

Then, Zhang Yean took a series of photos, with a clicking sound.

Wan also came over, "So? You suspect theft and murder?"

Li Jian turned his head and said, "Until we find the truth, any possibility could be the truth."

Jiang An reached out and pulled open the wardrobe door, revealing only a third of it was left.

He had barely pulled it halfway when the door naturally fell off.

"Oh my! Is the quality of this wardrobe door really that bad?"

Wan complained.

Jiang An said, "The quality shouldn't be bad; it's just that the hinges fell off due to the high temperature."

After moving the wardrobe door aside, the four looked inside.

The level of burning was very consistent with the wardrobe door, heavily burned at the bottom, while the upper part was slightly less burned.

The bottom of the wardrobe was largely burned, with a few clothing fragments visible.

However, in the upper wardrobe compartment, some clothes were relatively intact.

Jiang An stood on tiptoe, reaching in to rummage through the remaining clothes.

"No wallet, safe, or similar items found."

"However, the clothes in the upper compartment are neatly layered, with no obvious signs of disturbance."

Hearing this, Zhang Yean thought for a moment and said, "Does this mean that no valuables were stolen?"

Jiang An looked around, "This wardrobe is large, and other parts are completely burned."

"As for whether there are any signs of disturbance inside the whole wardrobe, or if any valuables are missing, it's impossible to determine precisely at this moment."

Li Jian also spoke, "I tend to agree with Jiang An's view."

He looked around, "The scene is severely burned, and as of now, we can't determine the loss of valuables in this room."

Zhang Yean turned her head and looked toward the entrance.

"This bedroom is connected to the office, and the door in between is heavily burned. I really don't know which room the fire started in and spread to the other."

Li Jian also turned to look, finally fixing his gaze on Jiang An.

"No matter what, we need to find out if these two victims were still alive when the fire broke out."

Their eyes met, and they nodded at each other.

Half an hour later, at the Jiang City Forensic Autopsy Center.

In the autopsy preparation room, Jiang An was putting on protective clothing for the autopsy.

"Junior brother, the muscles on these two bodies are already charred. Do we still need to wear forensic autopsy gowns?"

Jiang An grinned and said, "I just bought this outfit not too long ago!"

"I don't want to get it all smelling of burning."

Wan chuckled and said, "You haven't reached the level where Wu You, the forensic doctor, can examine bodies bare-handed."

"Haha, I can't learn it!"

"If the bodies have any contagious diseases, I'd never be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

Upon hearing the words "contagious diseases," Wan's face paled instantly.

He quickly fetched a set of protective clothing for forensic autopsy from the storage locker.

"I'd feel safer wearing isolation gear."

Five minutes later, inside Forensic Autopsy Room No. 1.

Two boxes of skeletal remains were placed on the autopsy table.

Zhang Yean looked and curiously asked, "At the fire scene, we mixed all the skeletal remains. Won't it be complicated to separate them?"

Before Jiang An could answer, Wan said, "Senior sister, don't worry."

"Jiang An, the team leader, scored full marks in anatomy exams."

"Full marks?"

Zhang Yean looked surprised, remembering her high school desk mate who studied at Jiangcheng Medical University.

She once played at her house and inadvertently saw a human anatomy textbook.

The thought of human muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, not to mention the 206 bones, made her glad she didn't study medicine.

Jiang An said, "Senior brother, you're exaggerating, I was just one point short of a perfect score."

Wan patted his shoulder, "To me, it's a perfect score. The one point you missed was because you carelessly forgot to write an answer."
