Chapter 290

Chen Fan did not speak; instead, he walked over to the second corpse and opened its mouth.

Following that, he opened the mouths of the remaining corpses one by one.

Finally, he put on gloves and dug something out from the mouth of one of the corpses.

This object was a piece of paper that had not fully burned; it was black and crumbled into powder at the slightest touch.

Connecting this to the yellow talisman papers found all over the room.

Chen Fan said, "I think this case and the doctor's case are very likely the same one."

Li Tian was taken aback for a moment.

"Why do you say that?"

One must know that as a police officer, rigor is extremely important.

Chen Fan replied, "The previous doctor died of cyanide poisoning; that is beyond doubt, and just now, I smelled the same scent in the mouths of these five victims."

"That is why I suspect these two cases are one and the same."

"Didn't you say earlier that you had already checked everyone who had been in contact with that doctor?"

This sentence served as a reminder to Li Tian.

That was correct.

He had already interrogated everyone who had been in contact with the doctor.

But there was one exception...

The doctor's friend whose phone call had not gone through.

Li Tian carefully examined the victims on the floor and indeed had a vague impression.

It was precisely the doctor's friend.

Li Tian hurriedly brought over the person who reported the crime, who was the victim's husband.

"Is your wife good friends with a pediatrician at the city hospital?"

The husband nodded: "Yes, they were college classmates and kept in frequent contact."

"My wife was originally a pediatrician too, but she resigned after we had children."

"Also, I just discovered something else: my wife withdrew 200,000 in cash yesterday."

200,000 in cash!

That was no small sum!

Chen Fan stood up and ordered the five corpses to be moved back for autopsy.

Although he could conclude that these five people died of cyanide poisoning, the autopsy still had to be performed.

They returned to the autopsy room.

Xiang Qinqin asked Chen Fan curiously: "How could you guess that these two cases were the same just from the cyanide poisoning?"

"What if it was just a coincidence?"

Chen Fan smiled and said: "How could there be so many coincidences in the world? Besides, I smelled the same perfume on them."

"Furthermore, the two died one after the other, and they died in the same way."

"When there is one coincidence between two events, it is a coincidence, but when there are two or more, it is no longer a coincidence."

"It's like a man-made encounter, just like how you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep."

Xiang Qinqin never doubted Chen Fan's miraculous nature.

As they were talking.

Over there, Qu Yiling and Liu Mengyan had already begun the autopsy.

Although they were not as gifted as Chen Fan, they still performed the autopsy in a professional manner.

After testing.

It was confirmed that these five corpses also died of cyanide poisoning.

Chen Fan handed the report to Li Tian.

Forensic doctors are only responsible for finding clues; as for catching people and deduction, those tasks are for more professional personnel.

Six o'clock.

They had encountered two cases in one afternoon and performed autopsies on six corpses.

When everyone went to the cafeteria in the evening, they still had a good appetite.

This was something they had trained themselves to do.

Chen Fan was eating his meal in large mouthfuls.

Unexpectedly.

Li Tian also arrived here.

Chen Fan glanced at Li Tian, and seeing that he had also gotten a bowl of rice, asked: "Do you treat this place as your own cafeteria? Why do you come here to mooch off our meals every day?"

Li Tian said: "It's not like I want to, but I have something to ask you."

Chen Fan said: "If you're looking for us, it's definitely nothing good."

"Didn't we already provide you with the clues for the two cases this afternoon?"

"Why aren't you out catching the murderer instead of coming to us?"

Li Tian said: "It's precisely because of the matter of catching the murderer."

Old Liu said: "Then hurry up and say it; stop dawdling. Do we still want to eat or not?"

Under the urging.

Li Tian said: "After investigation, it turns out the victim, the reporter's wife, suspected her husband of having an affair, so she contacted a Daoist Priest through a certain channel."

"She was told he could make her husband have a change of heart, but the Daoist Priest saw how wealthy this family was and decided to kill for money."

"He put cyanide into the talisman water and made them drink it."

"And this wife felt that good things should be shared, so she specifically gave some to her good friend, the doctor."

"Unexpectedly, it ended up killing herself, her friend, her child, and her parents-in-law."

Hearing this.

Everyone sighed.

Chen Fan asked: "You've already solved the case, so why are you still coming to us?"

"We have already caught the Daoist Priest, but all the current evidence does not indicate that he is the true suspect."

"We also did not find any cyanide at his residence."

"Therefore, I wanted to come and ask you to step in."

Li Tian said.

In many previous cases, it was only after Chen Fan spoke with the killers that they truly confessed their crimes.

Chen Fan said: "I'm not going; this is not something a forensic doctor should do."

Li Tian was in a difficult position and said: "If you don't go, what should we do? If we can't find evidence, we'll have to release the killer after some time."

"If the killer goes on to harm others, wouldn't your workload as forensic doctors increase again?"

That makes sense.

It actually left everyone speechless.

Old Song patted Chen Fan and said: "For the sake of our peace and quiet, you'd better hurry up and go. ~"

Old Zhou also said: "You are already a senior forensic doctor, shouldn't you go and show off a bit? -"

Old Liu didn't speak, but he already knew Chen Fan's attitude like the back of his hand.

Chen Fan is sometimes just like this; he needs someone to provoke him.

Sure enough.

Chen Fan stood up and said: "Damn, you guys are really picking on me to fleece."

"Then let's go quickly. It's a rare sunny day today, and I still wanted to find Old Song's daughter and go on a date."

Upon hearing this, Old Song immediately stood up and said: "What nonsense are you spouting! I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and said: "Old Song, you are still so easily provoked."

"Besides, can you really keep her tied to your side? When a girl grows up, she doesn't listen to her father anymore."

After saying this, Chen Fan smiled and left with Li Tian.
