Chapter 310: Miss, Can I Smell It?

An old case, yet one that made many feel a chill run down their spines, or rather, it was what everyone least wanted to see.

Old Song's words were simple.

Unlike Li Tian, Old Song only looked at the facts, but the Li Tian Society looked at the story behind the event, such as why this person committed the crime and where humanity truly lay.

"I asked what this woman was thinking. The woman said she wanted to make this person feel guilty for a lifetime, to make this person die."

This was a strange logic.

Since you don't like each other, you could actually just break up.

But the woman seemed unwilling.

Old Song wouldn't dwell on this issue; he simply stated the facts and went to handle the closing work of the case.

Meanwhile, in the observation room, everyone had no idea what to talk about.

Over here, Teacher He said, "I thought of a previous case where a girl was strangled to death by a man. The letter of forgiveness was written by the mother. Later, after investigation, it was found the mother was also involved, so the letter of forgiveness was invalid."

The lawyer on the side said, "I handled the case, and I was there to help that man with his lawsuit."

Damn.

Everyone looked at the lawyer. The lawyer said, "The law protects human rights. Since I can speak this out, I naturally am not afraid of these things. Actually, the media reported part of that case, and there was another part that none of you mentioned."

Another part?

"What part?"

"The woman was a prostitute, something like an escort. The man was a client, quite wealthy, and had a good relationship with this woman. The woman wanted to rise in status, even sending her own daughter out."

"Later, as I followed the case, I found this woman had no concept whatsoever of being a mother. I consulted a psychologist at the time, and the psychologist gave me an incredible explanation."

The lawyer continued, "Humans are naturally jealous creatures, and women especially so. Jealousy is the original driving force behind crime. Even between mother and daughter, jealousy exists. What this woman was jealous of was that the girl lived actively and brightly, while she herself was broken and tattered. Why, she asked, didn't this daughter accompany her down?"

"The most disgusting phrase in the world is actually 'downward compatibility.' Of course, 'upward compatibility' is equally disgusting."

Teacher He said, "Those are not words a woman could say."

"That's nothing. I see things very clearly. The man I found was just an ordinary person. After being with me for three years, he found out I had money. At that time, he didn't choose to rot and let me support him; he continued working, tried hard to earn money, compared himself to me, and said he would soon earn more than me. I was very gratified."

Sister Yuanyuan said, "Downward compatibility demands something from others, and upward compatibility also demands something from others, right?"

Qin Ming said, "It's just a new term. On our side, as forensic experts, this thing doesn't exist. We often perform autopsies and can give you some cold data."

Everyone looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming continued, "Human skin can actually reveal how a person lived before death. Bone growth can even show the environment of their childhood, and so on."

Everyone looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming continued, "For example, when a deceased person arrives, if the deceased's husband is very wealthy, right, then this female deceased's growth environment, family environment, and even physical condition were all very good. There is no such thing as a 'Cinderella' story."

"But if it is a girlfriend, she does not fall within this reference. Girlfriends are quite interesting. I am speaking of the majority; the ratio is around sixty-something. About sixty or seventy percent of 'Cinderellas' are men's girlfriends."

This statement is actually the most truthful.

Forensic experts rarely evaluate other people's hearts; what they see most is your body, your very self.

People can lie, but the human body cannot lie.

The case outside was causing a huge commotion, but here at the scene, for Chen Fan and Old Liu, this was just a very ordinary daily routine.

The processing, preservation, and planning of evidence inside the room—all of these require learning.

After all, who knows which day in the future might require finding those dust-covered memories.

Old Liu, leading the photographer, said, "Let me show you some things. I also hope the live stream can help out."

Old Liu came to an area and said, "This hairpin is a case. A person went missing. At the time the child was lost, this hairpin was seen on the ground. This mother said this hairpin was her child's favorite."

"If any of you have any memories and can recall something, you can contact the police. Someone will investigate and give you news."

Old Liu walked forward, picked up a manuscript, and said, "This is a case where an author was writing at his desk when he was beaten to death. The person who beat the author to death was a reader. Because the author wrote his beloved woman to death, the reader came directly and beat the author to death. To date, this murderer has not been found. If you see him, I hope you will voluntarily surrender."

Old Liu then picked up a gun and said, "This case actually hasn't ended yet."

A firearm; if it is this, then it is a very big case.

"This gun killed many people. Who this person was, I think everyone has heard of to some extent. The movie where Baoqiang acted was based on this person. The case hasn't ended because the person who gave Baoqiang the gun has not been found yet."

At this moment, everyone started calculating while looking at Old Liu. Old Liu said, "Those who have done profiling know this is actually an interesting question. If you got hold of a real gun, would you commit a crime?"

The people in the live stream were all reflecting. To be honest, this question was very realistic.

Would you or wouldn't you? No one could give an answer.

"So, before we investigate and find this person, although we will deal with the killer, the case will still be kept open until that person is found."

Is this a case?

Actually, many people would say it might be a coincidence, but a coincidence to the extent that a gun ended up in the hands of an ordinary person?

A coincidence to the extent that an ordinary person, with evil thoughts rising, went on a killing spree?

Chen Fan picked up an undergarment. Over here, Old Liu, with a blackened face, said, "Put that down. Chen Fan, I tell you, you are now representing the face of the forensic department."

Pfft-hahahaha.

At this moment, the people in the live stream burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I really have to admit, Chen Fan is such a troll."

"Why is it that the things Chen Fan studies are always so perverted?"

'I still haven't discovered how this guy calculated that this undergarment had a problem.'

"The most important thing is that he was right. The fingerprints investigated all matched."

"So, is this the magnetic field sensation of a criminal?"

Chen Fan looked down at the file above and said, "This case is off. There is no reason this woman would buy something so cheap."

Old Liu said, "No reason? Buying what? Do you need to say it? This is a case from three years ago, found at the scene. At that time, the clothes in this woman's closet were arranged in great numbers, all recorded."

Chen Fan pointed at the photo and said, "This room does not belong to this woman. Although this woman lived here, the room is not hers."

"It belongs to this woman."

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "Look at the surgically altered face. It's not her. Old Liu, can't you see what this woman originally looked like?"

Old Liu instantly realized, saying, "Damn, something's wrong, this is wrong."

Chen Fan said, "As the movie said, a mother recognizing her own child is a low-probability event. When two people look over seventy percent similar, most people can't tell them apart. Add the passage of time and not having met, and there's no way to distinguish them then. Didn't you do a DNA comparison?"

Over here, Old Liu was completely dumbfounded and said, "Wait, I'll go do a comparison right now. I'm making a call."

Chen Fan said, "Do you think that's reliable?"

Over here, Li Tian called directly and said, "No need to look. I'm already arresting the people. I've taken hair samples and am preparing for a comparison. If it matches, I'll arrest all of them."

Comparison?

Chen Fan put down the evidence and said, "Alright, Teacher, I'll go look at other things."

Old Liu seemed to think of something and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder we couldn't find the culprit all along. The family wasn't in a hurry to ask questions because the dead girl wasn't their own daughter."

The case was investigated quickly. A DNA comparison revealed that a Miss from one family was not their biological child, so the problem was easily solved.

The deceased's DNA was still preserved and also needed comparison. Soon, everyone discovered who the culprit was.

It was another family. Because this girl came out traveling, she met this Miss. The two looked somewhat alike. Then, the other Miss spent time getting plastic surgery and finally killed this woman.

Then she recognized the original family's father and mother as her godparents.

Li Tian came to the forensic department and said, "Do you know what's laughable?"

Everyone was curious.

"What's laughable is that when this Miss was caught, she looked at the other people's parents and said, 'For all these years I've called you father and mother, don't you have any feelings at all?'"

In the observation room, Qin Ming said, "Sigh, why envy other people's families? How much hatred must one have for their own original family."
