Chapter 350: A Case No One Remembers

Chen Yishou's personal charisma is extremely high; even the viewers in his livestream are deeply drawn to him.

A man reading books in prison truly feels like something out of a movie.

Li Tian scoffed at it, but had to admit: sometimes, certain people genuinely harbor admiration for criminals.

In the observation room, Teacher He said: "I know this isn't right, but this man's charisma is simply too captivating."

Qin Ming said: "If you knew this man's story, you'd feel his charisma is even more powerful."

Powerful?

Sister Yuanyuan and the others looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming said: "Previously, this man was reported for performing surgery and ended up imprisoned, but after entering, he punished the inmates in his own way. Everyone in the prison fears one thing: that his sentence will end, and he'll randomly pick someone to commit a crime."

"Bullying inmates?"

Qin Ming nodded and continued: "Yes, bullying inmates—punishing them his own way, adding to his own sentence. He's read countless books; I even suspect he could pass a lawyer's qualification exam."

"What exactly did he do?"

Qin Ming said: "There was a man who killed a girl and was due for the death penalty, yet strangely, he was terrified of the other inmates. Later, it was discovered that since his incarceration, this man had beaten him relentlessly for a long, long time. On the final day, he was found—his body nearly unrecognizable, on the verge of collapse."

"There was another man who stole something, but his sentence was for scaring a woman into a miscarriage, leaving her unable to ever conceive again."

Qin Ming adjusted his glasses and said: "Later, this man crippled him inside the prison."

Everyone stared at Qin Ming. Song Zuer said: "Won't he get a harsher sentence for this?"

"No, because he's a doctor—he knows exactly how to avoid triggering serious injury assessments. He can erase all fingerprints. If he doesn't want to be caught, no one can prove he's committing crimes."

Sister Yuanyuan said: "I'm not a bleeding-heart, but I think this is wrong."

At that moment, a man walked in and said: "At their core, people's first principle is kindness. The greatest entanglement in this world is kindness entangled with kindness—even a gang boss has loyalty, filial piety. The law seeks out this kindness within all of it."

Everyone saw the man. Song Zuer said: "Teacher Luo, I'm not speaking now—can you still send me in?"

Ha ha ha, everyone laughed along.

Teacher Luo said: "Sigh, I was dragged here against my will. The previous lawyer got pregnant and went home to prepare for childbirth—I had to step in."

Qin Ming said: "What's your take on this case?"

"From a lawyer's perspective, the victim died in two ways: the direct cause was the neck wound, but the man didn't intend to kill—he was guilty of negligent homicide. However, long-term drugs in his bloodstream accelerated his blood flow, faster than normal, and that's unavoidable."

"Right, but you can't find any fault with Chen Yishou."

Teacher Luo thought for a moment and said: "Yes, objectively and subjectively, there's nothing."

In the prison, Chen Yishou said: "Something happened before—my sister died. I suspect she was murdered, but the autopsy found nothing. I want you to investigate for me."

Chen Fan said: "How did she die?"

"Medical accident."

????

Medical accident.

Chen Fan said: "She got sick, was hospitalized, and then died?"

"Yes. She was hospitalized for a simple appendectomy. But she died. I need to know the real cause of death. This is a procedure even a new intern can do—why did my sister die?"

Chen Fan was speechless. "Is the body still available?"

"It's still here. I just want you to examine it. After you're done, I'll walk out."

Chen Fan and Li Tian exchanged glances. Li Tian said: "Don't look at me—look at yourself. Medical accident? That's an accident. Aren't you good at this?"

Chen Fan nodded and left.

After leaving the prison, Chen Fan returned to the forensic institute and found Old Liu. Rarely, Old Liu lit a cigarette and stared at the livestream camera.

The viewers sensed the solemn atmosphere.

Old Liu said: "Go investigate."

"Huh? Teacher, you're not angry? What happened?"

"Nothing. When I retrieved the body, someone refused to hand it over, and others sabotaged me. That's when I guessed something was off."

Livestreaming is excellent. When livestreaming uncovers something, under the eyes of the public, some people can't block it.

The body was placed in the lab. Chen Fan held a scalpel and stood before the woman.

The direct cause of death was excessive blood loss.

Appendectomy leading to excessive blood loss? That's a ridiculous joke.

Chen Fan immediately performed a basic platelet test, which could determine whether the woman had a special physiological trait.

A special trait means wounds that refuse to heal, or similar conditions.

The test results were completely consistent.

Then, Chen Fan examined the appendectomy incision.

Clearly, the incision was wrong—it was noticeably too large. Not only that, the area where the appendix was removed had expanded, and it seemed deliberate.

But the other side could claim it was an accident, a surgical error—we could pay partial compensation.

Chen Fan wrote the report. Every word he wrote was clearly visible to viewers. This was clearly murder.

Yes, this was murder—even the dumbest viewer could see it.

What kind of surgical error turns a five-centimeter wound into a ten-centimeter one? That's double the size.

Chen Fan silently calculated, looked at Old Liu, and said: "Must this really be defined as a medical accident?"

"There's no way—unless you can find another reason proving this wasn't a medical accident but intentional murder. The police investigated this case, and Li Tian himself handled it."

Li Tian lit a cigarette and said: "I chased this case for ages. All I got was this absurd answer. The intern who was in charge when it happened is already in prison. The lead surgeon fled overseas. Even a pig could tell they're hiding something—but it happened on the operating table. You can't prove it was intentional murder."

Chen Fan fell silent and began examining the woman's appendix.

Then he examined the drugs.

"The drugs and appendix components all comply with regulations."

Li Tian said, "I've thought of everything a forensic expert could think of."

Chen Fan said, "I'm just going to try."

Try?

Chen Fan looked at the corpse, pondered for a long time, and then began scraping along the woman's body.

No one knew what Chen Fan was scraping for, but seeing his serious demeanor, no one disturbed him.

Xiang Qinqin and Qu Yiling also joined in, scraping as well.

Old Liu, helpless, said nothing and came to help.

Over here, Li Tian asked, "What are you looking for?"

Chen Fan said, "In any crime, as long as a crime is committed, evidence is left behind. If none is found, it doesn't mean the criminal is powerful; it means we simply haven't discovered it yet."

Chen Fan held the substance in his hand and began testing it.

"I think your idea is a bit superfluous."

Chen Fan looked at Li Tian and said, "Let me ask you a question: is this Miss beautiful?"

Beautiful?

This question left Li Tian confused. He said, "Yes, she is beautiful. But she's dead; why are you asking this?"

Chen Fan said, "Guess."

Comparing the object in his hand, Chen Fan quickly found what he needed. The fingerprint wasn't very clear, but it existed.

Li Tian stared at this half-fingerprint and fell into deep thought.

Good heavens, what the hell is this thing?

"Where is it from?"
