National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1183 - 1113: Multi-Person Project

"The victim is wearing a knit polo shirt with a collar, but the brand cannot be discerned. The belt is Gucci’s, with a double G buckle, and the leather has Gucci patterns. The dress pants don’t show any brand either, but the fabric is good, pure wool, coarse weave. The socks are also wool."

Wei Shikan, in front of leaders like Dai Mingsheng and Jian Louyuan, as well as Jiang Yuan and others, delivered the results of the clothing inspection in one breath, surprisingly feeling a bit triumphant.

Then, Wei Shikan couldn’t help adding his own judgment: "A man who treats himself this well should be someone who has tasted fine grains. At the very least, his economic condition is not bad."

"Maybe he’s just a pretty boy?" Jian Louyuan didn’t give his Kshatriya much face; this was a legitimate case analysis. If he didn’t say it, Wei Shikan would still be embarrassed later.

Wei Shikan felt slightly discontented: "A 45-year-old pretty boy? That’s too old."

"As long as the wealthy woman is old enough, the pretty boy has enough growth space. Some women just like considerate older men..." Over at Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team, Liu Wenkai’s voice was leisurely, sounding like heartfelt words from someone with experience.

Wei Shikan, who had been working at the Criminal Police Brigade since graduating from The Great Learning, originally prided himself on being well-informed and knowledgeable, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a bit unsure of himself.

He often sees young wealthy women. Although older wealthy women are also common, their deep needs are beyond Wei Shikan’s understanding.

Thinking of the various achievements of Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team, Wei Shikan was momentarily speechless with no words to refute.

During the brief silence, Liu Jinghui took over the scene and said, "Regardless of the victim’s identity, his economic condition should be quite good. Wool socks are for personal use; those with lesser means wouldn’t likely buy them."

"They come as a gift with dress pants purchases." Wei Shikan jumped in slightly.

Liu Jinghui, experienced with such young generations, smiled lightly and said, "The body has started to decay; wool pants and wool socks are usually difficult to preserve. It’s impressive you can still identify them. Have you studied it?"

"I asked a professor from The Great Learning to help." Wei Shikan didn’t hide it.

"That’s fine." Liu Jinghui nodded with a smile and said, "It’s like asking for help in a quiz show, calling for outside assistance."

Wei Shikan’s brain turned, and the rationality seemed to instantly increase, thinking that Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team truly lived up to its reputation.

Liu Jinghui addressed the young generation Wei and, in a more authoritative voice, said, "Currently known, the victim is in good physical condition; at a height of 175 cm and a 45-year-old age, he is considered tall among his peers. High muscle content indicates exercise. With such willing spending on clothing, he should also have quite a taste. Just from these external conditions, the victim actually fits the tone of a film city quite well."

Liu Jinghui looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "If it weren’t for Captain Jiang’s analysis here, we would surely prioritize considering local people. Captain Jiang, I’m not skilled in technical matters, but from a reasoning standpoint, is it possible, for example, that the killer or victim brought foreign insect eggs, and as a result, the person died, leaving foreign insect eggs benefiting unexpectedly?"

This paragraph was intended as non-technical speaking but was technically a way to relieve pressure for Jiang Yuan.

Because Liu Jinghui also worried about Jiang Yuan speaking too definitively, and in case any unexpected situation arose, it would seem unworthy.

Jiang Yuan simply thought for a moment, gently shook his head, and said: "While exceptions can exist, the probability is too low. Fly species don’t randomly lay eggs; they ensure the survival of their offspring by placing them in gaps in the corpse, the fresher the body, the more nutritious it is..."

"I understand now." Liu Jinghui nodded.

Dai Mingsheng then smiled, saying, "There are so many types of flies, I can’t name them all. I saw in the report that there are dozens of kinds of these blowflies. How do you distinguish them?"

He represented several leaders present who had this question, which also was one of the core issues in the initial phase of the case. First scene here in an unknown corner locally doesn’t represent the same concept as the first case scene in Baijiang Province.

Jiang Yuan seemed a bit stumped by Dai Mingsheng’s question, pondered for a moment, then said: "This is actually easy to distinguish. Just like cattle have different breeds, most people can name them at a glance."

"Hmm... hmm?" Dai Mingsheng was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Just like the yellow cattle and water buffalo, you can tell them apart at a glance, or the ones with a hump are zebu cattle, and yak with long hair and horns are also easily recognizable... Further subdividing, many seen frequently can be recognized at a glance as well, just like Angus cattle, they look like black-coated yellow cattle, then the black-and-white dairy cows, most people can name them, right."

Dai Mingsheng hesitated but nodded.

Jiang Yuan showed a knowledgeable smile and said, "Flies seen often are the same, like green bottle flies, which are the silky green flies of the Calliphoridae family, or the Giant Golden Fly, just like the Luoxi yellow cattle and Qin Chuan cattle..."

Dai Mingsheng turned to look at his colleagues from the police bureau, saw their eyes revealed the usual due bewilderment, then praised: "I understand, we’ll follow Captain Jiang’s analysis."

"Yes." Even though Jian Louyuan felt a bit sorry for the cattle, he still responded sharply.

"Old Hao, head down to Baijiang Province. I’ll find some contacts there to see if we can confirm this victim’s identity." As Dai Mingsheng spoke, he listed names in his mind.

Though he frequently invited experts from various places to Lanyue City, he himself rarely left the province. Thus, Dai Mingsheng didn’t maintain tight connections with criminal police teams from other places, potentially offending people unknowingly.

However, the case needs always come first, and given Dai Mingsheng’s position, there are always criminal police acquaintances...

"I’ll send Shen Yaowei along with Captain Hao." Jiang Yuan, having done many cases, knew many leaders from the criminal police teams, and although appearing shy, his interpersonal relationships were actually quite withdrawn.

Dai Mingsheng was slightly surprised, asking: "Captain Shen knows people from Bai River?"

"Everyone knows each other. Director Xu and Captain Wang from the Luojin City Bureau have met Shen Yaowei. We handled several cases in Luojin City before, so we’re quite familiar. Yaowei also gets along well with them." Jiang Yuan briefly explained the situation.

Dai Mingsheng instantly understood and hurriedly said: "We’ll have to trouble Captain Shen next."

"No problem. It’s considered one of our service items." Shen Yaowei laughed, making a small joke.

Everyone laughed especially hard.

Liu Jinghui quietly drank some water, and when everyone had nearly finished laughing, he spoke up: "The priority consideration moving forward, in my view, can focus on transportation. Bringing a body from Baijiang Province here shouldn’t normally involve public transportation, right?"

"Certainly." Jian Louyuan immediately responded: "Normally, it should be a private vehicle, which is also convenient for transporting."

"I agree." Liu Jinghui nodded.

Encouraged greatly, Jian Louyuan proceeded vigorously: "Then I’ll begin investigating the surveillance."

Liu Jinghui nodded, saying only: "It might not be just one car, there could be more people involved."

"There’s more than one person?" Jian Louyuan quickly grasped the implication.

Liu Jinghui: "Dumping a body this far away and with so few traces at the scene, it’s very likely."
