Chapter 416

Old Liu said, "Chen Fan's case, and many major cases, played a key role. The score is sufficient, especially in the past. Otherwise, the people who generally go over there are tough guys who have dissected over a thousand corpses."

Alright, that's really badass.

At the seminar, Chen Fan and Old Zhou were eating free-range chicken here.

A few bigwigs chatted and laughed beside them, lighting cigarettes, playing the role of seasoned smokers.

Li Tian said, "The basic investigation is done. That case did indeed exist back then. This killer isn't lying."

Chen Fan grabbed a chicken leg, looked at Old Zhou and said, "Old Zhou, at your age, you shouldn't eat something this greasy."

"Get lost. I don't care about cigarettes and alcohol, so why would I care about meat? My body is doing just fine."

Damn, so disrespectful of your elders.

Li Tian was speechless and said, "We really can't figure out much about this skeleton. We're searching bit by bit on our end. Some family members have already been getting in touch々〃."

Chen Fan let out a sigh and continued eating.

Li Tian took out some walnuts and placed them on the table, saying, "A family sent these. Do you remember that woman who had plastic surgery? Her family actually didn't have much money. When women go out to have fun, they always take advantage of men. When the family learned their daughter had gotten into trouble, they were very concerned. These walnuts are a local specialty, for you. The rest I'll have delivered to your forensic office."

Chen Fan didn't say a word.

He continued eating.

The door was pushed open. A policeman in uniform saluted Chen Fan, then picked up a glass of baijiu, took a sip, and expressed his gratitude.

Chen Fan stood up and returned the courtesy.

Only then did he learn that this policeman had been chasing the killer for over a decade.

Having caught the person, he was happier and more satisfied than anyone.

Chen Fan continued eating, seemingly taking none of these people's thanks to heart.

Watching Chen Fan like this, the audience felt a heartfelt sense of admiration. Badass.

"There have always been people bearing burdens. I love Chen Fan's attitude."

"No pleasantries, no polite small talk, just calmly accepting others' gratitude."

"Damn, so cool. The more I look at Chen Fan, the more badass he seems."

"How is this still a pretty boy? Damn, what was he thinking back then, going to be some pretty boy?"

Here, Old Zhou said, "Tell me, can you tell the time of death from a chicken bone?"

Chen Fan took a look and said, "Dead for about seven hours. The roasting temperature should be around three hundred and sixty-something. That's about all I can tell."

Tsk tsk tsk, not bad.

A few bigwigs said, "Not bad. Come back later, we'll take on a few more cases."

Old Zhou said, "Mm. Then hurry up and eat. We'll go back and study it some more."

Chen Fan checked the time and said, "It's pretty late now, isn't it?"

Old Zhou said, "Newly delivered corpse, still warm. Want to take a look?"

"If you put it that way, I'm not sleepy anymore. Wait, a corpse? Are you sure?"

"Actually it's a skeleton, just fished up. We need your help puzzling this one out."

"Hasn't it been dug out yet?"

Li Tian said, "We hired dozens of frogmen and dug up a few more skeletons. I find it ridiculous. This place seems to have become a major spot for dumping bodies."

Pfft, hahahaha. The forensic doctors present all laughed helplessly.

Chen Fan quickly finished up here and went straight back with the bigwigs.

In the observation room, everyone packed up their things and headed back.

Sister Yuanyuan said, "Are forensic doctors always this busy?"

Qin Ming said, "Forensic work is split into two: appraisal and autopsy. Generally, the leisurely one is appraisal. Autopsy can actually be leisurely too, but these people have taken forensic work to the extreme. You can understand it as these people using the way they're best at to do the work they love most."

Shishi said, "What about those who died? 》"

Qin Ming said, "My best advice is don't empathize so much. Otherwise, if you keep going, the more you see, the more you'll feel exhausted, worn out, and utterly drained."

Qin Ming picked up his notebook and casually jotted down a line.

"Demons walk among men. Fear is forever the best killer that slays hatred."

Outside it was snowing. It was already near the end of the year here, and around this time the frequency of cases would also pick up.

It seemed that whenever the New Year was approaching, cases would always pop up.

And the metaphysical concept among forensic doctors is that when some cases appear, they tend to show up in clusters.

What lay on the dissection table was a skeleton with clearly bleached-white bones.

Chen Fan examined it and said, "The basic judgment is this person died from accidentally falling into the water. You should still check the people nearby."

Li Tian looked at the tag attached and said, "Mm, then that's alright, then that's alright."

Chen Fan picked up the child's skeleton and said, "There are obvious bite marks, and here, signs of entanglement. This child probably went into the water to play and fell in."

Li Tian nodded.

Chen Fan picked up a bone and said, "And this one, it doesn't belong to any of these people."

??????

At that moment, the backs of all the forensic doctors began to feel cold.

Damn it, a case has appeared after all.

Li Tian looked at this small section of hand bone and said, "? à Are you sure? Big bro, it's the dead of winter, I don't want to go running outside."

"Yes, I'm very sure. If you're not convinced, we can do a DNA comparison. It absolutely doesn't belong to anyone."

Old Zhou said, "Run the comparison. Otherwise, we can't mobilize the officers."

After the comparison was done, when the result matched what Chen Fan had said, Li Tian was left speechless.

Li Tian said, "Tell me, then where did this thing come from?"

"The fish could have brought it, or the birds might have. But I lean toward the birds. The bones are so small; if someone had processed them, you'd be in trouble. You've definitely run into a pervert among perverts."

Damn it.

Li Tian said, "I hope it was the birds."

Chen Fan began the material analysis, which is the Quantitative physical evidence methods.

He quickly found the required molecules and said, "Hmm, confirmed it was carried by birds. They ate something and dropped it into the lake water. Let me see what kind of bird it is?"

Chen Fan identified the bird type and said, "Hmm, a turtledove. It seems this thing only eats fish, not human hands, right?"

"Then it must still be the fish? The fish ate the person, ate the bones, and then was eaten by the turtledove."

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Chen Fan continued the testing, verifying his own speculation.

"Find it yourself. This is all we can do. Don't expect me to reconstruct a person from a finger. I'm human, not a god."

Everyone joked around, and then Old Zhou told them to go back and rest.

Late at night, Chen Fan, unable to sleep after tossing and turning, came back to the scene again. He saw several forensic experts scratching their heads, all sitting there.

They were discussing how to reconstruct these bones.

"I did a simple analysis here. Chen Fan, take a look."

Chen Fan took it, checked the comparison, and said, "At this time of year, are there fish or anything like that?"

Old Zhou said, "The bones haven't been here long. Besides, Li Tian has already started catching people."

??? Yuan?

Chen Fan was stunned and said, "Catching people? That fast?"

"Right. We calculated that fish appeared, and birds appeared too, right? But why could it be dug out of the river? Frogmen are human, not gods. Did you forget what you said yourself?"

"It was the frogmen? They brought it?"

"We don't know the reason, but it's eighty percent likely the frogmen threw it. I estimate we'll have to go underwater again to find the rest."

"So did the birds eat it or not?"

Old Zhou said, "They ate it, then came back to catch fish again. Birds have straight intestines and process things very quickly."

Chen Fan was still stuck on how much coincidence it took for such a thing to happen.
