Chapter 586: Separate Autopsy

Such an explanation did indeed seem like the reaction a daughter should have.

Li Tian said, "But your family's housekeeper said that last night you had a very big argument with your father, and you two parted on bad terms in the end."

"Can you tell us what it was about?"

Ma Yingying replied, "Oh, that was because I found a boyfriend whose family wasn't well off, so my father didn't agree, saying we had to be a match in social standing. I had a huge fight with him over it."

"But we made up the next day. When it comes to this kind of thing, it really is better to be a match in social standing."

Li Tian asked again, "That doesn't quite add up. You're in your twenties now, right at that age when you don't want to listen to your parents — how could you have come around so quickly?"

"Could it be that you thought, since your father wouldn't agree, you'd just go ahead and kill him? And inherit his vast fortune while you were at it?"

Ma Yingying flew into a rage at once and said, "You're just fishing for a confession. You don't even know me — what gives you the right to assume I'd do something like that? My father may not have treated my birth mother well, but he was truly good to me. How cold-blooded would I have to be to treat my own father that way?"

"Officer. I've already been fully cooperating with your investigation. If you keep saying things like that, I will definitely sue you in court!"

Li Tian was about to say more.

Chen Fan said, "Is it true? You said you were grateful, that your stepmother was good to you, but you could never truly make peace with her, so you often argued with her, right?"

Ma Yingying nodded.

"Then is there a possibility that after you left the house in the morning, you went back in through another entrance, and then brutally murdered your own parents?"

"And finally destroyed all the evidence in the house, including the handle of the axe that was the murder weapon, before walking back out and pretending you'd just returned?"

Ma Yingying was thoroughly furious now, struggling to rise from her chair, and said angrily, "Is this how your police force investigates cases? What evidence do you have to say something like that? As someone's child, how deep would the grudge have to be to kill your own father々〃?"

"I'm going to sue you! Just you wait!"

Seeing Ma Yingying sink completely into rage, the interrogation had to be called to a halt for the time being.

The viewers in the livestream were also furiously debating.

"I think Chen Fan and the others are wrong here. As someone's child, how could you hurt your own parents? Even if the mother isn't her birth mother, she was still very good to her."

"Saying that does feel a bit insulting to Ma Yingying. She's a victim too — after her parents died, what could she even do? She's lost her support as well."

"You can't put it that way. Not every criminal suspect is like those perverts who calmly confess their crimes when punished. Most criminal suspects will argue and defend themselves. You could say Ma Yingying's reaction has given him a certain convenience."

"Exactly. Since this show started airing, Chen Fan has never wronged a single murderer. I feel that Chen Fan's attitude toward Ma Yingying makes it very likely that Ma Yingying is the murderer."

"Isn't the point to focus on evidence? Right now Chen Fan and Li Tian don't have any evidence, and they're treating a criminal suspect like this — they're definitely going to face consequences for it."

"Even if they face consequences, it's still better than letting a criminal suspect slip away."

……

After coming out of the interrogation room.

Old Song walked over as well and asked, "Did you get anything key out of it?"

Li Tian shook his head and said, "No. Ma Yingying's reaction suggests she prepared long ago. We can't find any evidence on our end, so we have no way to actually treat him as a criminal suspect, so… Chen Fan, what do you think?"

Li Tian tossed the question to Chen Fan. Chen Fan said, "What else can we do? Lock them up separately for now. I don't think things are that simple. Ma Yingying is a woman in her twenties — beyond the bad relationship, there might be another key reason. And that reason… might have something to do with Ma Shan's company."

Li Tian nodded.

Indeed, any case involving a wealthy family is more or less tied to the family's assets.

If it were just a bad relationship, there still wouldn't be much likelihood.

In the afternoon.

Li Tian and Old Song headed once more to Ma Shan's villa to conduct an on-site inspection and see if there were any overlooked clues.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan took Xiang Qinqin and Liu Mengyan to the autopsy room.

Ma Shan's body and his wife's body had already been laid out on the operating tables.

According to the initial autopsy, Ma Shan and his wife did indeed die from excessive blood loss.

But it couldn't be fully confirmed.

Chen Fan said, "I won't be performing the autopsy today. Liu Mengyan, you and Qinqin will each dissect one of these two bodies."

Liu Mengyan and Xiang Qinqin nodded together.

In the past, neither of them had been able to perform an autopsy on their own, because they weren't very skilled yet.

Now Chen Fan was giving them this chance.

"You think Chen Fan's disciples will get Chen Fan's true teachings and be able to finish dissecting a body in six and a half minutes?"

"You're dreaming. Chen Fan is one of a kind. Liu Mengyan obviously can't reach that level — I think it'll take at least fifteen minutes."

"Are you looking down on our Xiang Qinqin? Our Qinqin works very hard too, often reading and practicing on her own. I think Qinqin only needs ten minutes. She's already been here so long after all."

"What's there to argue about? Currently the heaviest isn't finding clues on the bodies?"

……

The bullet comments were full of arguments over Xiang Qinqin and Liu Mengyan.

The two of them picked up their scalpels together, stood in front of the operating tables, and began at the same moment.

At the start, the two were evenly matched in speed, able to follow the lines of the muscle very quickly and separate the human body apart.

Then they cut open the abdomen, exposing the organs inside.

The human body is extremely complex, especially the organs that are connected to one another.

A moment's carelessness could damage the original integrity of an organ.

In short.

After finishing the external dissection, both of them slowed down.

Chen Fan stood off to the side and never intervened — he wanted these two to be able to dissect a body independently on their own.

After all, the two of them would have to work on their own in the future.

About fifteen minutes later.

The two stopped at the same time; the dissection of the bodies was complete.

Xiang Qinqin reported first: "Judging from the structural condition of the body, no other cause of death was found. The deceased, Ma Shan, did indeed die from excessive blood loss."

Liu Mengyan reported a step later, "I also found no other cause of death; she died from excessive blood loss. However, I discovered some suspicious drugs in the corpse's stomach."
