Chapter 289

Chen Fan said, "What you just said makes it sound like this is some kind of murder case?"

"Murder case, my ass. We've already investigated, unless someone really calculated things that precisely."

Chen Fan said, "Then we'd still need an autopsy to know. So, can we do the autopsy?"

"We can. The family over here doesn't believe it — they still can't believe their own relative would suffer an accident."

Chen Fan nodded.

Then as he stood up, his nose twitched. Chen Fan said, "Something's off. This tea leaves here — there's a bit of a different smell."

A different smell?

Chen Fan picked it up, looked at it, then opened the incense burner over here and said, "If these two things are combined, they have a sleep-aiding effect. You could even say it can lower a person's willpower and the like."

Li Tian said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Fan said, "I've worked with tea leaves before, you know that, right? Generally when you roast tea, it's done like this."

After saying that, Chen Fan went over, picked up the tea leaves, and handed them to Li Tian. Li Tian said, "I don't see any difference."

"Forget it. You, with your cow chewing peonies — can't expect you to figure anything out. Let me put it this way: something was added into the tea leaves, and besides, the aroma of these tea leaves is also a problem. How about this — you take a sip, and I'll demonstrate for you."

Everyone watched.

Li Tian took a sip, then sat down in the chair. Chen Fan looked at Li Tian and said, "How do you feel now?"

"Pretty comfortable. It really does make it easy to fall asleep."

"Mm, right. Li Tian, take out your wife's money later, how about we go out and have some fun?"

"Sure, perfect. I was thinking the same thing."

????

Holy shit.

The several police officers on the scene all went quiet.

Li Tian still didn't quite get it.

Chen Fan said, "You stand over there by the glass window."

Li Tian stood up and slowly moved over.

At that moment, Chen Fan splashed water, directly jolting Li Tian awake, and said, "Look below you."

Li Tian lowered his head, looked at the shattered window, looked down, and cold sweat began pouring down his back. Damn, that can't be right.

Moreover, the boss over here said, "This is already the second case like this. Before, there was one — a person crashed through the glass and then jumped down. We paid out quite a lot in compensation. Later we reinforced the glass, and yet this time we still ran into something like this."

Li Tian over here began to understand. He said, "Then go ahead and act on your end. I'll start catching people on mine. Didn't expect to run into a case like this. Interesting, interesting."

Chen Fan said, "Alright, wait for my results."

In the car, Sister Yuanyuan sat quietly, not speaking. She had followed along the whole time without saying a word, just watching.

Chen Fan took out a plastic bag and said, "Zhang Tianxiong, stop the car."

Zhang Tianxiong slammed the brakes instantly. Chen Fan opened the plastic bag, and Sister Yuanyuan immediately lowered her head and began vomiting.

Chen Fan said, "Alright, drive back."

Sister Yuanyuan looked at Chen Fan and said, "You're really just bored out of your mind."

"I could see you were holding it in and feeling pretty awful. I couldn't bear it, watching you suffer like that."

"You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you."

"No. If you hadn't made a fool of yourself, others would have suspected you. Li Tian was actually already testing you."

????

Sister Yuanyuan was stunned and said, "How could that be? Why would he test me?"

Chen Fan said, 'A normal person seeing a corpse would feel uncomfortable. If a person sees a corpse and adapts to it, there are two explanations: first, they've killed someone before; second, they're naturally tough. But the probability of both is the same, so it needs to be suspected.'

"My signed notebook."

"Leave fingerprints on it, extract them, then run them against the fingerprint database."

????

Holy shit, is this for real?

"But didn't they say I'm his idol or something?"

"That is an idol, but that doesn't stop this guy from catching people. Li Tian has always handled things this way. Getting your signature and all that was just to get your fingerprints. When I was doing the autopsy on the child, Li Tian messaged me asking about you. In the observation room, everyone else was feeling terrible, but you seemed to hold up — and you even came over to comfort me."

Sister Yuanyuan was speechless and said, "Before I came, I watched a lot of autopsy footage, forced myself to adapt to it, and specifically applied to go to another Fayibu Sect to observe and prepare. Only then did I come."

"Oh, then that's normal. But generally, other forensic departments don't run into cases as twisted as the ones on my end."

"Mm, that's true. What I saw were all dead corpses. This is the first time seeing a fresh one, so I was quite startled."

Chen Fan turned around, reached out, grabbed a handful, and said, "Look — the heart, if I ran electricity through it now, it could still beat once."

Sister Yuanyuan laughed dryly, then turned her head and immediately began vomiting.

Chen Fan snickered and put the heart back into the bag.

The audience couldn't take it anymore.

What the hell, Chen Fan, can't you just stay quiet for a moment?

I was feeling sorry for you a second ago, wondering if you were under a lot of pressure, and now you pull this on us?

After arriving at the place, Chen Fan opened the bag. Old Liu said with a smile, "Chen Fan, this time you're not allowed to do the autopsy."

Damn.

Chen Fan said with a dark face, "Teacher, you've gone too far. Something this fresh, and you won't let me do the autopsy?"

"No way. You weren't respectful to the corpse just now. The family called — they don't agree to you doing the autopsy."

Damn.

Chen Fan stood to the side in a foul mood, looked at the four newbies, and said, "What are you looking at me for? Get to work."

The four of them nodded one after another and began to fumble about in a panic.

Old Liu watched the knife fall into the dead man's stomach and said, speechless, "Alright, Chen Fan, you do it. Are you four pigs? How many times have I taught you dissection, and you still make mistakes?"

Chen Ti said nothing, keeping his head down as he took the scolding.

"Deducting points."

Chen Fan took the knife with a smile, went straight to the tail end, and began running a blood analysis.

"I told you I should do it. Old Liu, you can't even lie. The family totally approves of me doing the dissection — after all, the man went to see his mistress."

"Less speculating."

"I'm not speculating. At the scene I smelled a woman's perfume."

The audience was speechless — so that's your little skill, huh? You really haven't wasted a single bit of it, you've put it all to use. This guy clearly doesn't look like a good person.

Old Liu said, "Quite the skill — what did you smell out?"

"Well, not that. I just know it's a woman. The rest, I don't know. I don't have that kind of skill for now."

"I thought you could do it — 'smell a woman by her perfume.' I've seen that too. I thought you had this skill."

"Then I'd have to be blind first."

"Oh, that works too. Blind is blind then — keeping the eyes is useless anyway. While you were chatting with me, weren't you also not looking at the corpse?"

Pfft — in the observation room, Sister Yuanyuan couldn't hold it in and said with a laugh, "These two — how come they sound like they're doing a crosstalk routine?"

Everyone was speechless. It really did seem that way.

Meanwhile, the blood analysis results Chen Fan wanted also came out. He got the components he needed and said, "Mm, I see. These things will weaken a person's willpower, suppress the pituitary gland's hormone secretion, and so on. But still, this person's methods are pretty impressive — that move was quite skillfully played."

Old Liu said, "Hold on, write up the report. The rest is just waiting for news from Li Tian's side."

Soon Li Tian arrived in the evening and said, "Mm, the person is basically confirmed. The woman from before has been found. They're interrogating her over there. When the drugs came up, the other side caved right away. Pretty clever — knows how to make a move. Just this one time, they got too greedy."

"Why?"

"Before, they always went for single men. An older man finds a young one, then dies — do you think the son would suspect this young person? The surveillance shows it: the man went down on his own. So it was just left at that. A bit of money, lawsuits, a will — they took some."

"What about this time?"

"Knows a little law, but not much. The law has changed now — just writing a will is useless. This time they targeted someone with a family, thinking the other party wouldn't keep pushing it. But the man's wife had a very tough attitude. She said her husband was so proud and strong, he couldn't have just died like that — she believed someone had harmed him."

"That suspicion must have some reason, right?"

Li Tian took a bite of food and said, "There really is. It's because the construction site over there had been shut down for a long time, and recently it started up again or something."

"That doesn't make sense. How would this woman know?"

"The construction site is run by this woman. She happened to know about this — it was her own husband who proposed doing the construction site. And the one who contracted the site is a young person. This wife thought this young person was suspicious — said he was too young, not suited for running a construction site. But her husband said the guy was decent, honest, and he had a good eye for him."

"Investigated quietly?"

"Right, investigated. This man and this woman are siblings — the two of them conspired to kill for money. Originally they planned to make it look like the previous cases, but this time the glass was changed, so it wasn't easy to kill him that way, so they staged this construction site accident. Normally, if something from a construction site falls over, at most it shatters some glass or something — but this person just happened to be standing right there."
