Chapter 507
After that whole scene this morning, everyone's expression wasn't that great.
Only Xiang Qinqin beside him, like Chen Fan, ate her meal on her own.
"Did we perhaps miss some examinations on the bodies?"
Qu Yiling, who couldn't eat, said.
"No, we didn't. Our autopsy work is the most professional."
Old Liu sighed and said.
Chen Fan said: "In a while I'm going to go look over the bodies again."
An idea was fermenting in Chen Fan's mind.
He had to go confirm it.
"Then you go, I won't be going. There are other bodies still waiting for us to autopsy."
Old Liu waved his hand.
A few minutes later.
Everyone had pretty much finished eating. Chen Fan, Xiang Qinqin, Liu Mengyan, and the others headed to the dissection room.
After taking out Wang Qiuyu's body.
Everyone performed the autopsy once more.
But after checking for over ten minutes, no further clues were found.
Chen Fan asked Liu Mengyan: "Did you spot anything?"
Liu Mengyan said: "No."
"Take another look at the wounds on the body, see if there's any pattern."
Chen Fan gave her a hint.
Following Chen Fan's hint, Liu Mengyan began to observe carefully.
The wounds on the body were chaotic and disorganized, but upon closer look, one would find that the depth of these wounds was identical, and so was the length.
This further corroborated one thing: the killer was someone very skilled with a knife.
But this only deepened that one viewpoint.
It couldn't be extended into other clues.
Seeing that Liu Mengyan wasn't speaking, Chen Fan continued: "Actually you don't need to overthink it. Whatever comes to mind, just say it. There's nothing to worry about."
"You're my disciple, I'll definitely guide you onto the right path."
Only then did Liu Mengyan speak again: "The knife proficiency of a beginner is too high. And you can tell from these wounds—although there are many, none of them cut into vital areas; they all avoided them."
"So this person is very likely a doctor who knows how to perform surgery."
This point.
The others hadn't thought of either.
A forensic pathologist conducting an autopsy needs not only book theory, but also the accumulation of experience.
In a situation like this.
Without someone to give a hint, a beginner would find it very hard to notice.
"Alright, hurry up and tell Li Tian and the others about this."
"This might be the only breakthrough in the whole case."
Old Liu said.
"What? A doctor? No way, why would a doctor do something like this?"
"Who knows, maybe a psychopath, or maybe had a grudge against Wang Qiuyu."
"I think the grudge possibility is bigger. If they were a psychopath, they might not necessarily be able to become a doctor."
"Sigh, with so much social pressure these days, becoming a psychopath is very likely something that happens after starting work."
"I just hope we catch this killer soon."
……
Li Tian's side quickly received the news.
At the police station, there was still a steady stream of people going to turn themselves in and report to the police.
No one knew what method the killer had used to get so many people to go turn themselves in.
Night quickly fell.
Chen Fan quickly returned to his room.
He was just planning to take a good shower, relax a bit, and sleep.
Suddenly.
Chen Fan's phone rang.
Maybe it was intuition, but Chen Fan immediately picked up the phone and took a look.
It was a message sent from a virtual number.
The message read:
Where Wang Qiuyu's body appeared, I'll be waiting for you there.
This kind of situation wasn't Chen Fan's first time encountering it.
The killer was waiting for him.
So he got dressed and immediately headed out.
Before going, Chen Fan specifically checked in with Old Song and the others.
If he didn't reply to their messages in time, they must send people to the scene.
This place is a bit far from the location the killer specified.
Chen Fan chose to drive himself.
If there were danger, he couldn't drag others into the risk along with him.
Driving an old Santana, Chen Fan arrived at the place where Wang Qiuyu's body had been found.
Because the case hadn't been solved yet.
The entire scene was still cordoned off with police tape, guarded by people.
Chen Fan walked over and said to the officer guarding the scene, "You can leave first—it's an order from your superior, Li Tian."
The officer recognized Chen Fan and had indeed received Li Tian's order, so he left just like that.
