Chapter 276

Chen Fan said: "How to put it, I can understand your boredom, your loneliness, because of boredom and loneliness. You chat with other people, all kinds of casual chats online, it's just a pastime for you."

"Mm, I said it, we won't have a result. If he's unwilling to chat with me, we can just not chat. But this person kept persisting."

Chen Fan said: "This kind of thing, I won't pass judgment, because men also go flirt around, with many girls, and girls also flirt around. In this society, everyone does it. Because they're strangers, it doesn't matter, but then again, they're afraid of their other half finding out. Everyone has the thought of an affair, it's just that very few actually act on it."

The audience instantly understood what was going on.

That person must have found someone, and came to meet an online friend or something.

The woman at this moment lifted her clothes and said: "Here."

Li Tian looked at the bruise on the arm and said: "This was caused by the deceased?"

"Mm, he came to our side and stayed for a long time, every day saying, I've been investigating you, if you're not with me, I'll harass your family, I'll ruin your reputation and all that. The chat records over there, didn't you all see them? Did you retrieve them?"

Li Tian fell silent, looked at his phone, and sank into deep thought.

This is data requested from the authorities, and these data do indeed truly record what the deceased said.

"You went to meet this person, didn't you?"

The woman said: "Mm, I wanted him to give up, then have dinner, then let him go home. I'm already married, this guy shouldn't have ideas about me."

This way of thinking is actually wrong, because the two of them have already had contact.

But this is the strange part, in today's society the relationship between men and women is very subtle, women just hope someone will keep them company and chat.

But this man felt that the woman was actually flirting with him.

Is it possible that in private, girls tell more dirty jokes than they do with men?

"In the car, something happened to you, right?"

The woman said in a small voice: "Mm, he wouldn't let me get out of the car, he kissed me, I just scratched his face, then he kept pressing down on my arm, then my husband came back and found out, and just beat him to death on the spot."

The more the woman spoke, the smaller her voice became.

Li Tian was very helpless, slapped the table and said: "You're still lying?"

"I'm not lying."

Chen Fan sighed and said: "Mm, indeed not lying?"

Wait, is that right again?

Li Tian looked at Chen Fan and said: "Are you sure?"

"Not lying is not lying, what's the big deal."

"I need an explanation."

Chen Fan said: "The smell of a rotting corpse being burned, and the smell of a fresh corpse being burned, are different. When the corpse is fresh, it's a bit more fragrant; when it's rotting, the smell is a bit worse, but it's still pretty good, quite pleasant to smell."

Li Tian subconsciously pushed his stool outward a bit.

The woman being interrogated just looked at Chen Fan a bit speechlessly, not daring to raise her head, not daring to speak.

Wait, between the two of us, who's the criminal? Why does it feel like you're the criminal?

Chen Fan continued: "The corpse was burned after it had rotted. Rotting takes at least three to four days. During this period, this woman went to look at the man's corpse, because she couldn't hide it anymore, the smell came out, so she decided to burn it."

The woman looked at Chen Fan and said: "How do you know that?"

"The investigation results came out, the forensic results also came out. Not only that, the corpse was burned for seven hours, and you waited there for seven hours. You could have burned it when it was fresh at the very beginning, but you waited three or four days before burning it. This fits human logic."

Li Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment, indeed so.

Right after killing someone, the first thing the woman thought was to let the man leave, but the woman didn't leave.

Because if the woman also left, she would be suspected.

Then she brought the corpse to the garbage dump and covered it with trash.

It rained during that period, and then the body was exposed.

The woman felt guilt and fear, and went back to check whether anyone had discovered it, and finally found the corpse had been exposed a bit.

The woman tried to use trash to cover it, but in the end she saw a garbage truck in the distance and started thinking about setting fire to it herself.

The reason she gave was that she wanted to burn some things, said they were memories from her past or something. The garbage station didn't ask much, after all she paid, as long as it didn't cause a fire it was fine.

Seven hours wasn't actually the woman's endurance limit, but after seven hours, the child got out of school, and the woman needed to go home to cook for the child.

Li Tian compared before and after, looking at the chat content in his phone, and many times the deceased revealed a tone of threat and intimidation.

"His phone, you didn't throw it away, did you?"

"No, it's at home, I didn't dare take it out to sell. It's in the bag you guys brought back."

At this point, message restoration was carried out, and soon other messages were found.

At four o'clock, some viewers could no longer hold on, really couldn't take it, very drowsy, but no one was willing to go to sleep. A case like this is really very real.

It just happened to echo the case from some time ago.

"The car is yours, right? If it's yours, there's a dashcam, right?"

"Ah, right, yes, there is."

There is?

Gee, these two really don't know how to commit a crime.

The dashcam was found, then opened, and it clearly recorded what happened.

Dialogue, the sound of forceful grabbing, and also the woman's cry for help, the sound of glass shattering, and the man's wailing.

The husband was cursing the woman on his side, and the woman was telling the man to run.

And so on.

"I saw it, the thing from some time ago, no one believed me, I was being threatened."

Isn't this statement strange?

Li Tian listened to this conversation, Chen Fan took out his phone, handed it to Li Tian, and said: "See for yourself, the trending search from some time ago."

Li Tian took a look.

The trending topic was simple: a married couple, the wife went out to have an affair, the husband found out and beat up the lover, then the lover fought back, and in the end the husband had to pay the lover two thousand yuan in compensation.

The lover wasn't satisfied and appealed, and the result of the appeal was that the lover ultimately won the case, and the man had to compensate the lover's money.

The official explanation was that when you see a result like this, you need to take photos and gather evidence right away, instead of going to beat someone up.

That statement was very cold.

Even if you ask all kinds of AI software, you'll get the same answer, because the laws and regulations do address this kind of situation.

It's just that everyone knows this result isn't right.

Why isn't it right? In a situation like this, how is a person supposed to control their temper?

No one knows.

Li Tian looked at the news, looked at the woman, and said, "You know?"

"I know. I even scolded them, saying it's just not right—what if the woman was forced? Then I ran into it myself, but I felt that video wasn't forced; that woman was clearly cooperating with the other person. It's just that I asked my husband, and my husband said he only saw me fighting with someone inside."

Li Tian was very curious and said, "Your husband never suspected you, being in contact with men?"

"Of course he suspected. My husband does get jealous and tells me about it, but he won't stop me, and he trusts me, and I trust my husband too."

Damn, that wasn't a lie at all.

Because Chen Fan was right there—if this woman had been lying, Chen Fan would have caught on instantly.

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, human flesh, when you grill it, really tastes pretty good."

"Ah, that's so disgusting. I went back and threw up for ages. You actually think it's good? Are you really like what they say online, a pervert?"

With that conversation over, Li Tian already knew how to handle the case.

The whole thing was recorded, and the statements matched. On the other side, once the husband came back, his statement would be enough too.

So then, how exactly is this case to be judged?

There's actually a saying about this: if a wife is molested on the street and the husband finds out, he can fight back.

And it's not illegal or anything.

So this case is quite a clever one.

The one in a tough spot is the judge, not Chen Fan as a forensic doctor.

When Chen Fan got back to the forensic office, it was perfect timing—he could eat breakfast right away, no need to run around at all.

Old Liu, unusually, hadn't rested, and said, "All done?"

"Yeah, all done. Sigh, if I hadn't gone along, Li Tian might have gotten something else out of the interrogation."

"Don't worry, that won't happen. The two statements need to be cross-checked, and the dashcam footage will be recorded too—none of that can be faked. If the lawyer handles it well, the man won't be sentenced for long."

Chen Fan looked at the breakfast on the table and started eating.

Old Liu sat to the side rubbing his temple, yawned, and said, "What did you see on your phone?"
