The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

After a round of applause, everyone had a significant change of opinion regarding Jiang An.

Some even had expressions of admiration in their eyes.

Not to mention a newcomer to the criminal investigation field, even a seasoned detective might not be able to speak so thoroughly and comprehensively.

After a while, the applause subsided, and Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "That's why I say, youth and ambition are not limited by age."

"Jiang An's words have completely overturned my perception of young criminal investigation officers."

Then, he turned and said, "In the future, when our criminal investigation team selects outstanding officers from various places, let's not set an age limit anymore."

Sun Yiming nodded quickly and said, "Chief, yes!"

Then, Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice, "Now, we have basically reached a consensus."

"Indeed, there are two stages in the death process of this case."

"Next, we will investigate according to these two processes."

"On one hand, re-investigate the scene to see if we can find any new clues."

"On the other hand, cross-check the past suspicious vehicles again."

"I know sorting the vehicles is complex. Initially, we focused on whether the bumper was deformed or if there was any paint loss."

"However, based on Jiang An's analysis, I think the focus should be on the top of the vehicle, specifically if there's any deformation."

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison and began to take action.

30 minutes later, a black police bus arrived at the abandoned factory area on the outskirts.

The once thriving steel factory had gradually been abandoned due to industrial relocation, with only a few wide roads still in use.

As Jiang An got off the bus, he immediately saw a conspicuous police line.

The originally continuous road was suddenly interrupted by the police line.

The office buildings on both sides were also in disrepair, with peeling walls and a decayed appearance.

Zhang Feng got off the bus and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Jiang An, the area marked by the police line is where the deceased was located."

He then looked up and glanced around on both sides.

"We have surveyed the office buildings on both sides multiple times, but made no progress."

"Looking at it now, it seems it truly is as you said, the point of descent is not directly above the body."

Jiang An looked around and said in a deep voice, "This road is a two-way lane with traffic going both ways."

"If the point of descent is not directly above the body, then the office buildings on both sides of the road could be potential descent points."

Zhang Feng also looked around.

Indeed, there was a row of office buildings in sight, although there were gaps between them.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Feng said, "The speed of the vehicle is unclear, and we cannot accurately locate the building the deceased fell from."

"It seems we have to use the most primitive method, which is to search each building one by one."

Jiang An gazed at the abandoned office buildings in the distance, his expression somber.

Everyone nearby looked bewildered, glancing up and down the street.

Wan grinned ruefully and said, "These skyscrapers are at least 30 floors high, and the elevators must be out of service. Do we really have to walk up each step to find the point of descent?"

Zhang Yean turned to look, "Or else do you expect us to install a manual elevator just for this?"

"Oh, I'm just complaining a bit."

Standing nearby was a young officer from the criminal investigation team.

He smiled and said, "Buddy, let me tell you, compared to our previous investigation sites, these buildings are much fewer."

As he spoke, he pointed to two landmark buildings within the police line.

Following his finger, Wan saw two towering office buildings designed in a twin tower structure.

Each office building was over 80 floors high.

Just a quick glance gave Wan an instant sense of relief.

As the saying goes, "Without comparison, there is no harm."

Without comparison, there is no sense of superiority.

Wan grinned, "Compared to those, these two buildings in front of us aren't that tall."

Soon after, Zhang Feng divided the criminal investigation team personnel into six smaller groups, with three people in each, to start a comprehensive search of the entire office building.

Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean were grouped together, responsible for the scene investigation of Building 2.

With a creak, the iron door was pushed open.

Wan dusted off his hands and brushed the cobwebs off his head.

"Wow! How many years has it been since anyone used this place?"

Zhang Yean picked up a bright flashlight, and where the light reached, one could see scattered cobwebs.

If it weren't for the flashlight in her hand, Zhang Yean would probably be feeling a bit anxious.

"Feels like being an explorer in an ancient tomb."

As the two expressed their personal reflections, Jiang An was already examining the features of the entrance floor.

Just as Wan pushed the door open, Jiang An noticed that the iron door wasn't locked.

This was a very open environment where anyone who wanted to could enter.

He then squatted down to use his flashlight to examine the footprints on the ground.

He had already memorized the pattern from the soles of the female victim's shoes.

After scanning, Jiang An didn't find any matching footprint patterns.

He then continued along this path, extending all the way to the stairwell.

Still, there were no matching footprints.

Zhang Yean and Wan followed him closely, observing carefully.

"Junior, since we haven't seen the victim's footprints from the entrance to this point, can we rule out this building?"
