Chapter 258

Chen Fan said, "But if this person fainted or was unconscious or something?"

"Drug testing shows no signs of poisoning."

Chen Fan raised his hand, slapped the person beside him, and that person fell directly to the ground.

The old man was speechless.

"You check, and there won't be any either; the drugs would have volatilized with the high heat. In this case, you actually concluded it wasn't death by burning, right? It must be some other factor?"

The old man took out a document and said, "Do you know what the cause of death was?"

Chen Fan said, "Sudden death. Hmm, how to put it? Scared to death in a special environment. This person matches all the signs of death by burning, except for the lack of struggle, so you think it was murder."

"Yes, just because there were no other injuries."

Chen Fan frowned and said, "If I were the murderer, I would definitely knock them out, then set fire around this kid, and then I could run away. But the key point is, this person appearing here is wrong..."

Is this possible?

"Burned like this, can you still distinguish their profession?"

"Yes, the slight upward curl on the right side indicates a tool used frequently. This person was likely a tomb raider, just killed by their companions."

Instantly, the answer became clear.

Li Tian on this side said, "I know how to investigate now."

Li Tian started making a call, while the old man gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up, handed him a piece of candy, and said, "Your teacher was my half-student."

"Wow, you're not much older than my teacher."

"I am eighty years old this year."

????

Damn, eighty years old and still so robust.

Chen Fan stared at the old man.

"No need to overthink it. On the day I die, I'll let you dissect me; you can examine my body's structure. Rest assured, I will write a will."

"Thank you very much."

?????

Is this how forensic experts converse?

Are they just too powerful? After all, they are from the same school.

Nothing but perverts enter the same household or something.

On this side, Chen Fan arrived at the second location, looked at this case, and said, "Still a mountain forest, still death by burning?"

The old man said, "Yes, generally the more difficult cases happen in mountain forests."

Chen Fan looked at the materials below and said, "Died while camping. Hmm, stabbed to death by someone, then set on fire. This is the given death report."

Chen Fan stared at the autopsy report, looking at the ash inside, and said, "Uh, this thing is not quite right; the position here is a bit off."

What does that mean?

On this side, everyone looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said, "Both died by burning, but this man was burned to death first, while the woman was burned later. The damage here in the woman's lungs is a bit problematic; she indeed inhaled a small amount of smoke."

Someone said, "There is usually a small amount."

"Just that this 'small amount' is too much. I have done data comparisons; most stabilize at a certain value. But this woman inhaled a portion here. Hmm, let me think... this woman was likely raped before she died."

Raped?

Everyone looked at Chen Fan, unable to believe it.

"Hmm, the man was being burned while the woman was pinned to the ground, watching her lover burn to death. Huh, this case isn't domestic, is it? These two body types... foreign, right? Looks like they're from the United States."

Damn, offended.

The old man on this side said, "Hmm, how did you figure that out?"

"Too perverted; domestic criminals wouldn't do this. Besides, rape is difficult, very strenuous. To make a woman not resist, it takes at least three people."

????

A foreigner said in surprise, "I'll call back and provide this lead."

Time-consuming.

Chen Fan stood in front of a pile of photos; these were all photos of women.

Everyone lay on the ground, quiet, beautiful.

Chen Fan looked at the women on this side and said speechlessly, "This is that demon who committed crimes on rainy days, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Cases 3 and 4 were revived again; they are also called the domestic Jack the Ripper case.

Chen Fan looked at the clothes and said, "Hmm, I'll say something you won't want to hear: these clothes do not belong to these women themselves."

????

Not their own?

Everyone looked at Chen Fan curiously.

Li Tian on this side said, "Chen Fan, as long as you've touched a woman, you know whether the clothes she wears fit and what size they are. Hmm, now it's evolved; one look is enough."

???

What the hell kind of special skill is that?

Chen Fan said, "Hmm, and haven't you noticed these women all have one thing in common?"

Li Tian said, "You mean these people look like one person, right? So the criminal did this, right?"

Chen Fan said, "Yes."

"But who do they look like?"

Chen Fan was speechless and directly rearranged the photos, organizing them one by one.

Then he looked, took out drawing paper, and began to sketch.

Very quickly, the likeness of a woman appeared before everyone.

"Mm, I've marked the height and measurements for you. Let's go with this."

Everyone looked at the woman's portrait, and Li Tian racked his memory.

Soon, something came to him, and he said, "If I remember right, I've seen this woman before. I took part in this case back then—I ran into her during the investigation."

"Mm, with that height, looks, and face, she's probably selling clothes. If this woman was a streamer, then this killer really has no taste at all."

Damn.

At this moment, Li Tian knew the answer. He said, "I know who it is, damn it."

Who it was, nobody said.

But one thing was certain: even if the killer knew the police were investigating him, he still wouldn't go kill this woman.

Because he didn't dare.
