Chapter 247

Several new forensic students gathered around, all looking at the photo.

Xiang Qinqin said, "It looks so familiar?"

Teacher Liu said, "Familiar is correct. This person was once a very formidable journalist who did news reporting. He became famous because he faked his illness before."

Faked?

Faking an illness, what the hell is that?

Everyone looked at Teacher Liu. Teacher Liu said, "There's nothing I can't say. This matter caused a stir a while back, but the news was suppressed. After all, it was a very serious scandal. This person, at first, reported news that no one watched. Later, he claimed he had cancer and didn't have much time left. Then, more people started watching."

Uh, instantly the audience realized who this person was.

Damn, faking cancer?

Teacher Liu said, "This person broke the law. Here, we were actually collecting evidence to arrest him, but since he died, the police dropped the case. However, today his youngest son called the police saying the body is gone, and his eldest son claimed it was a fake death. Do you understand now?"

Using a fake death to protect his reputation.

This person has some tricks up his sleeve.

Instantly, everyone exploded. Damn, this guy, is he this shameless?

Chen Fan said, "No body, how do you expect us forensic experts to do our job?"

"No body, there's blood and such, and fingerprints and such. Even for a criminal, nowadays you still have to go find them, right?"

Teacher Liu looked and said, "Today, the four of you will go along together. Chen Fan, you don't interfere. Let these four investigate the scene; you are responsible for supervising from the side. Understood?"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "By the way, what about my self-criticism?"

"No need to write it. Hurry up and solve the case."

Well done, the teacher is so good.

Several people got in the car and arrived at the funeral. At this moment, a crowd was demanding refunds and such. The eldest son was speechless, with people following him.

"Does this count as fraud?"

Old Song said, "Yes, this actually counts as fraud. But because so many people are involved, it can only be a civil matter. It's like an internet cafe where people recharge money, then it goes bankrupt. You sue. The money isn't much, but if many people sue together, the nature of the case changes. However, not many people are suing together."

The four of them arrived at the coffin and began taking samples.

Fingerprints and such all need to be collected. Fortunately, there weren't many fingerprints on the coffin here.

After collecting samples here, it was time to go into the deceased's room to sample.

Forensic experts can actually do very little. After all, the body is gone. Whether this person ran away or hid is unknown. Moreover, at such an old age, if he ran, it should be possible to investigate it.

"Before confirming death, we must find this person and treat him as a fugitive."

Chen Fan watched the four newcomers from the side and said, "Old Song, why do you need to confirm death?"

Old Song took out his phone and said, "Look for yourself."

Chen Fan took a look. Good lord, these trolls want to scatter this old man's ashes.

The audience watched this group of netizens raging and directly said, "Tch, that's nothing. I can troll better than them."

And in the observation room, Teacher He said, "This person, I actually saw some reports about him before, regarding this person's matters, like getting sick, staying up late writing news and such. At the time, I was quite impressed."

Song Zuer said, "Teacher He, you say, why did this person claim to have cancer?"

"Because it's too competitive. People don't like watching ordinary news reporters and such. If this person got sick and still worked hard, look, wouldn't many people watch? That's human nature."

Qin Ming said, "This matter actually involves quite a few people. The doctor who treated this person back then, the one who issued the certificate, also broke the law."

Hu Ge said, "It's quite interesting. Before I had a car accident, I was actually neither hot nor cold. Later, after I had the car accident, I became famous."

Teacher He said, "Human sympathy. Actually, this world is very beautiful; everyone will sympathize with others. But if someone exploits this sympathy, that is truly without conscience."

"Could it be that he was killed in retaliation?"

Everyone looked at Qin Ming. Qin Ming said, "I don't know, but I know Li Tian is arriving soon. Generally, for cases with such high heat, they must be handled quickly, otherwise, chaos will break out."

Soon, Li Tian arrived at the scene, looked at Chen Fan and said, "Hi, meeting again."

Chen Fan looked at Li Tian and said, "Tsk tsk, you actually lost three jin. Impressive."

"You can tell that?"

Chen Fan said, "Mm, the flesh around the belly has become firm. Mm, you haven't been messing around with your sister-in-law much lately, hey, you like quite a few things."

Damn it.

Li Tian pointed at Chen Fan and said, "You better give me an explanation, or I'll show you my invincible whirlwind kick."

Chen Fan said, "When a person exercises or does such things in the short term, the body changes. As long as you exercised, I can tell. My eyes are a ruler. Your thigh area and your belly area, the muscles have obviously become tight. You don't need to run out, so it can only be going home to be intimate with your wife."

"You're a forensic expert?"

"Yes, a forensic expert. For me, there's no difference between wearing clothes and not wearing clothes."

"Just like when you look at a coffin, whether there's someone inside, you can tell at a glance, right?"

Chen Fan was speechless, his face dark as he said, "If you don't say that thing, can you die?"

"I look forward to the day you go in. I recently do have a grave-robbing case. If you help me solve this case, I will apply for merit for you later."

'Sorry, I prefer First-Class Merit.'

"Then kill yourself. I really worry you'll commit a crime someday. However, if you commit many crimes and I catch you, the First-Class Merit will be mine."

The people in the observation room chatted idly.

Qin Ming said, "Getting First-Class Merit now is very difficult. You need to know, generally, First-Class Merit means coming home in an urn. However, there are a few things that can get you First-Class Merit."

"What?"

Qin Ming said, "World-level competitions. If you win an award, you'll get First-Class Merit upon return, with the treatment of a deputy regiment level."

?????

Damn, damn, is it this scary?

But how do you win an award in a world-level competition?

That difficulty is truly high.

"Mm, the forensic side does have exchange conferences and such. Chen Fan could go participate sometime. If by chance he actually wins an award, maybe the higher-ups really could give him First-Class Merit."

The audience, however, weren't willing to accept it. If a pretty boy like you got First-Class Merit, we'd curse you out. You really deserve to die, you bastard.

Meanwhile, Li Tian glanced at the coffin and went straight into the house.

"Didn't find any other footprints or anything?"

Xiang Qinqin took out a photo and said, "Yes."

Li Tian lowered his head, looked at the footprints, and compared them.

"This one, something's off. This person…"

Qu Yiling said, "Lame leg, right? What else could it be?"

Oh?

Li Tian looked at Qu Yiling in surprise and said, "Did Chen Fan tutor you tonight?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I just recently watched Chen Fan chatting with the teacher about footprint studies, so I picked up a bit more. I still can't deduce other people's height or occupation, but whether someone is a cripple, I can still tell."

Li Tian lowered his head, swept a glance, and said, "Is there any report related to someone getting injured?"

Soon, the report was found.

It was about a migrant worker getting injured. This migrant worker got hurt at the construction site and needed compensation, but the boss said the injury didn't happen at the site.

The migrant worker's side went to make a fuss and even specifically found a reporter.

The one responsible for the report was the missing person. This missing reporter didn't side with the migrant worker, but with the boss.

Chen Fan glanced at it and said, "Getting interesting."

Li Tian said, "You see something wrong? Because there's no problem with this report."

Chen Fan nodded.

Everyone was stunned for a long time.

"This report, actually, the reporter hid something. This person went out drinking and whoring, didn't pay, and got beaten up. Later that shop gave him some money, but then this person refused to leave the construction site. In the end, he found a reporter to say his leg was injured at the construction site, wanting to extort another sum."

Holy shit.

The audience blew up. This time, it wasn't the black-hearted boss.

Li Tian continued flipping through the newspapers in the house and said, "Before coming, I read all of this person's reports. This person's cancer fraud is correct, but all of this person's news is real, is genuinely real, and he really did do good deeds."

Holy shit.

In that instant, everyone felt their three views and morals being ground into the dirt by someone once again.

This person faked his own identity, but the news wasn't faked.

So, if everyone knew this person himself was a fraud, would they think those news stories were fake too?

This is a soul-level interrogation.
