Chapter 340

"What people call finding someone to comfort themselves is really just trying to lessen their own guilt, isn't it?"

"Come on, how can a woman not know what a man is thinking? If he regrets it, he deserves it, but it's not worth dying over."

The audience felt helpless; this Chen Fan really did speak with biting irony, cutting straight to the bone, giving not an inch of mercy.

Teacher He said: "Wrong. Face it bravely, bravely pay for your own future, don't just complain—ah, can't anyone go comfort this girl?"

Sister Yuanyuan said: "One line inside really resonated with me. Women all know what men think—where is there such a thing as pure, unselfish kindness? Goodness without expecting return is hard."

Teacher He fell silent and said: "Ah, there's really no solution to this. But who exactly is that boy?"

Many people would doubt that boy.

Meanwhile, Li Tian had called and asked around, then said: "It's not this boy."

Everyone looked at Li Tian.

Li Tian said: "I called and asked. The boy told me: Why would I seek revenge on her? I'm not anything to her—I only once liked her. But she doesn't even care for herself; how can I love her? Her life doesn't affect mine—I still have to strive to love life."

"The boy also told me he's recently pursuing a Miss."

Everyone stared at Li Tian's answer.

The audience was speechless—damn, suddenly it felt so piercing.

"Yeah, so piercing. Suddenly, it just feels hopeless."

"Not caring is actually the greatest harm to this girl."

"If this boy were jealous, that'd be one thing. But this coldness? It's truly torturous."

"The girl isn't worth caring about—she messed up herself; why should the boy care?"

Only one letter had been opened, and already everyone felt speechless.

The rest of the letters, Li Tian glanced at—every single one was a suicide note.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan began his work, standing apart like an observer, detached from all these people.

Not the killer. Not the victim. Just a forensic doctor. Just an observer.

The bodies were taken back.

At the forensic institute, they began autopsies.

There were many bodies; many helpers were needed.

As the blades cut into these bodies, they found traces at the tail ends—before their suicides, these people had still been drinking and eating together.

But later, all of them died.

Simultaneously.

No extra evidence. No injuries. No signs of homicide. So it could only be suicide.

Even with a sliver of hope, one must still hold firm.

One body after another was cut open; Lao Liu and Chen Fan searched.

Yes, searching one by one.

They themselves knew exactly what they were searching for.

When everything is desperate, hope is born.

When the last body was opened, Chen Fan and Lao Liu looked at the corpse, saw the marks on the neck—and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Found it."

Found it?

Chen Fan precisely calculated the time of death for this corpse—it was slightly slower, about ten to fifteen minutes. But precisely this ten-to-fifteen-minute window was worth thinking about.

Meanwhile, Li Tian opened his phone and said: "This person didn't commit suicide."

"Why?"

Chen Fan and Lao Liu looked at Li Tian.

Li Tian said: "Before this, he called his family. This man could not have committed suicide. Absolutely not."

Li Tian used deduction. Chen Fan and Lao Liu used forensic autopsies.

But Li Tian's deduction needed Chen Fan and Lao Liu's autopsies to corroborate it.

That's the greatest difference.

The audience exploded—holy shit, holy shit.

"Yeah, I once thought about ending it all. But when I saw my child's smile, I was healed."

"Yeah, my family's still here—how could I die? I'm a man."

"I'm a man. My family's waiting for me to come back. I carry their hopes."

"I'm exhausted. But even if I'm exhausted, I know I can't stop—I love them too much."

The rope had been wiped clean, indicating this person had prepared thoroughly.

That is to say, as long as this person acted, there would be traces.

Li Tian said: "I called to verify. The person said he'd return home early—meaning, this man didn't want to die."

Chen Fan handed the report to Li Tian and said: "Here."

Li Tian examined the marks and said: "Can you determine this person's Height and Weight?"

Chen Fan said: "Difficult. From this angle… wait—I'll recalculate."

Chen Fan brought in a mannequin, thought carefully, then took the rope and began tightening it around the mannequin. Soon, the marks appeared.

Lao Liu compared them and nodded.

Chen Fan said: "This person was probably a bit shorter than this man, but very strong. Excluding innate super strength, this person likely exercised regularly."

"Height should be around 1.7 meters."

Li Tian pondered and said: "This person probably wore glasses, had short, messy hair or something similar—gave off a comfortable vibe. This person must've been melancholic."

"This person has a way to contact these people, but I estimate this special group is on some unknown app."

"We can't investigate those abroad. No, wait, even those abroad—these people all have records of bypassing the firewall on their phones."

"Those abroad, this person received higher education, and moreover, this person is very wealthy. I know who it is now."

Li Tian's gaze was sharp.

Over here, Chen Fan took off his gloves and said, "How about I come along during the arrest?"

Li Tian nodded here and said, "Mm, no problem."

Chen Fan silently changed his clothes, then turned the pen in his hand.

He looked at Li Tian very seriously. Li Tian looked at the fountain pen in Chen Fan's hand and suddenly felt something very bad, though he couldn't say exactly what it was.

The live stream was turned off.

Chen Fan and Li Tian went out.

Arriving at a residential area here, Chen Fan waited quietly.

Then, when someone ran out, Li Tian here placed the fountain pen on a nearby trash can.

The fountain pen hit the ground.

It rolled slowly.

A passerby stepped on it. When stepping on it, the passerby lost balance, and a car on the side began to spin.

The car swerved past and then drove straight toward that man, crashing into him.

The man saw the car rushing toward him and, in the first instant, stood still in place.

He was at a loss.

The man flew through the air.

He fell to the ground. Chen Fan silently picked up the fountain pen, walked over, looked at the fallen man, and said, "Very unexpected, isn't it?"

The man looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan held up the fountain pen and said, "If I say I designed all of this, would you believe me? I originally wanted the car to kill you, but then I thought about it and decided against it."

"After all, you are a criminal, and I am a forensic doctor. If I did this, I would be a criminal too."

The man fell silent.

He looked at Chen Fan, while Chen Fan waved the fountain pen in his hand.

Li Tian, standing aside, silently put away his phone and stared fiercely at Chen Fan.

That look seemed to say, "Don't make me arrest you."
