Chapter 613

~7 min read 1,208 words

On Group Six's side, Li Tian also speculated: "Right now both people have the same story, both have injuries on their bodies, and each only identifies the other as the murderer. If we're reasoning purely from deduction, we'd probably lean more toward believing the husband."

"Because the husband's friend is still an outsider, and on top of that this friend's family situation isn't good — it's very possible the killing was driven by jealousy."

As soon as the words fell.

The other officers in the same group, however, didn't agree with Li Tian's such a statement, and said: "No, in cases involving a husband and wife, we generally consider the husband to hold the first-priority possibility of being the killer."

"According to the case investigation report, this friend had a sexual relationship with the victim. If the husband knew about it, he absolutely couldn't tolerate something like that."

Both of them were very experienced veteran officers.

With their differing views, they argued to no conclusion.

At this moment.

Chen Fan, who had been silent all along, noticed something on the wounds of the corpse.

If the killer had attacked the victim, the shape of the wounds should be uniform.

Although they all look like wounds, the details will differ.

If a killer is right-handed and the victim is facing the killer, then the probability that the wounds lean toward the right side will be very high.

If the killer is left-handed and the victim is facing the killer, then the probability that the wounds lean toward the left side will be very high.

All of this comes down to differences caused by different living habits.

And on the corpse's wounds, although the details of the wounds were very small, Chen Fan still saw a trace of difference.

Chen Fan asked the person in charge of the corpse: "Among these two suspects, isn't one of them left-handed々〃."

The person in charge shook his head and said: "That we don't know yet. Wait a moment, I'll go make a call right now to confirm this."

Li Tian, seeing Chen Fan ask a question, knew Chen Fan has already found a breakthrough, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Looks like you've already discovered something — say it and let's hear it."

Chen Fan said: "Find it yourself. I'm sure you can do it."

Li Tian was speechless.

Damn.

If he could find it, why would he ask him?

Very soon.

The person in charge came back and told Chen Fan: "That's right, one of them is left-handed."

Chen Fan nodded, then asked again: "You mentioned in the case that at the time there was a lot of blood on the wall at the crime scene. Besides that blood-soaked baseball bat, have the bloodstains on the wall been tested?"

The person in charge answered: "They've been tested. They all belong to the victim."

"What about the timing? Were all the bloodstains deposited within an extremely short span of time?"

Chen Fan asked again.

The person in charge froze for a moment, as if he had never thought about that angle before.

"We only tested whose blood it was, and it didn't show the timing. Chen Fan, you've reminded us! I know what to do!"

The person in charge was very excited and hurriedly called the local police station handling this case.

To have them test the timing of the different bloodstains on the wall.

Everyone present was a professional, and after hearing Chen Fan say this, they immediately understood.

But the evidence was still insufficient, and everyone knew that as professionals in forensic medicine and police work, they couldn't casually speculate about something.

So during the wait while the call was being made, everyone followed the direction Chen Fan had given and examined the corpse again.

As for the viewers in the livestream, naturally they hadn't understood.

"What does Chen Fan mean by that? As long as the blood is confirmed to be the victim's, isn't that enough? Does the timing being different actually matter?"

"The person above is too dumb. Different times the blood was deposited means the victim might not have died within a single span of time."

"I think it should be like this: Chen Fan identified one suspect through the wounds on the victim's body, and then wants to use both sides' testimonies and the timing of the victim's bloodstains to determine the final killer."

"You're all talking nonsense. Before, Chen Fan could solve cases quickly because he went to the crime scene. Now Chen Fan has only seen the corpse — how could he possibly think of something no one else could?"

……

Everyone started arguing again in the bullet comments.

Just as Chen Fan's side was about to wrap up.

The other five groups were still dissecting the corpse.

Old Liu's speed was quite a bit faster — after all, he'd learned from Chen Fan for so long.

As for the other groups, it looked like they absolutely wouldn't finish without several more hours.

Some groups even got the idea of looking for outside help.

The people from Group One and Group Three found Chen Fan's side.

"? àUm, Senior Chen Fan, Nengbuneng Gang us dissect this? We don't have much experience on our side."

The forensic expert of Group One said.

The people from Group Three also hurriedly said: "Senior Chen Fan, we're not doing so well on our side either. Could you dissect ours first? We'll be very fast."

Hearing that Group Three's people wanted to snatch him, Group One's people naturally refused: "Can you guys have some sense of first-come-first-served? I came to find Chen Fan first. Can't you wait until we're done dissecting?"

"What? I went and looked at your Group One — you can't even finish dissecting something that simple. Our Group Three is much harder. Senior Chen Fan should go to our group first."

Group Three also refused to back down.

The two sides nearly came to blows.

Luckily someone reminded them they were currently livestreaming. If this got broadcast, it definitely wouldn't just be a matter of writing a self-criticism.

They might even get a demerit on their record for it.

Chen Fan said: "You should dissect it yourselves. You can't cheat."

Since Chen Fan had said so, the people from Group One and Group Three left in disappointment.

"Hilarious — the people from Group One and Group Three nearly came to blows over Chen Fan."

"Chen Fan really is a hot commodity, but he's also got principles — he actually let them go back. If he'd gone over there to show off, everyone would've probably enshrined him."

【2】 "Doesn't this deserve a trending topic?"

【3】 ……

【4】 Ten-some minutes passed.

【5】 The person in charge came back and told everyone the result: "We just ran another round of tests. The bloodstains on the wall and on the ground are indeed separated by a fairly long stretch of time."

"This isn't worth trending?"

……

More than ten minutes passed.

The person in charge came back and told everyone the result: "We just performed another round of testing, and the bloodstains on the wall and on the ground are indeed separated by a considerable span of time."
