CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 152: STRANGE! THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE!

"New around here?"

"Yes! Just started working two weeks ago!"

Instantly, Deputy Mayor Liu exclaimed excitedly, "This is simply outrageous!"

"A young forensic expert who hasn’t even passed the probation period, and he can independently examine the body?"

"Moreover, you, as the director, have complete faith in this conclusion?"

"Have you considered the major impact on Jiangcheng’s economic development if he makes a misjudgment?"

"In the industrial park, if two people die, and one of them is headless."

"How could any company want to invest or set up factories in the industrial park in the future?"

The rapid-fire words left Mr. Ma stunned on the spot.

A minute later, Mr. Ma said in a deep voice, "Deputy Mayor Liu, you might not know this new forensic expert, Jiang An."

"In just two short weeks, he has played a critical role in solving several murder cases."

"It’s hard to compare with other places, but in Jiangcheng, he is definitely at the pinnacle of forensic science."

Deputy Mayor Liu’s breathing became somewhat rapid.

"A newcomer? At the pinnacle of forensic science?"

"Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

Mr. Ma immediately said, "I will take responsibility!"

"If Jiang An makes a mistake regarding the number of deceased, I am willing to hold a review meeting!"

"Good! Bold decision!"

Then, Deputy Mayor Liu immediately hung up the phone.

When the dial tone echoed repeatedly from the receiver, Mr. Ma finally hung up.

Calming down, he realized he had indeed been a bit impulsive just now!

He then took out his phone and dialed Li Jian’s number.

Meanwhile, inside the editorial office at the Jiangcheng Headline Building.

A middle-aged man, who appeared gentle and refined, was reviewing a news draft.

Standing beside him was a girl with glasses and a ponytail.

"Mr. Zhang, it was a pity I didn’t have the chance to interview Detective Jiang An face-to-face back then."

"Otherwise, I could have made this report even more exciting."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"The overall content is excellent, very eloquent, highlighting the Jiangcheng detectives’ efforts for city safety."

"However, change the headline to: Forensic Expert Jiang An, the Razor’s Edge of Detective Work."

The girl immediately nodded after hearing this.

She believed the editor’s revised headline was much better than her own ’Detective Appears in Jiangcheng, Leaving No Hiding Place for the Culprits.’

The girl smiled and said, "Thank you! I’ll publish it right away!"

"Go ahead!"

At this moment.

The traffic police team’s meeting just ended, and Captain Qin was standing by the window smoking.

Suddenly, the phone on the table chimed.

He extinguished the cigarette, picked up the phone, and glanced at it.

It turned out to be a push notification from Jiangcheng Headline.

"Forensic Expert Jiang An, the Razor’s Edge of Detective Work."

Captain Qin’s eyes lit up and he quickly opened the message.

Two minutes later, he smiled and immediately dialed Li Jian’s number.

As soon as the call connected, Captain Qin said, "Mr. Li, congratulations!"

In morgue number one, Li Jian looked confused.

"Congratulations on what?"

"Your ace team member is on Jiangcheng Headline."

"Jiangcheng Headline?"

Li Jian was surprised.

"Exactly! You can check it out later, the title is: Forensic Expert Jiang An, the Razor’s Edge of Detective Work."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jian quickly opened Jiangcheng Headline.

Sure enough, at the very top of the headline was "Forensic Expert Jiang An, the Razor’s Edge of Detective Work."

He quickly scanned through the content, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He looked at Jiang An, who was examining the skeletons, and said, "Jiang An, you’re on the headlines."

"Headlines?"

Upon hearing this, Wan turned and asked.

"Boss! Really?"

Li Jian said, "When have I ever lied to people?"

"Take a look for yourself!"

As he spoke, Li Jian raised his hand, showing them the phone screen.

Zhang Yean also walked over curiously.

The glaring headline was clearly visible to them.

Wan gave a thumbs up and said, "Impressive, my junior, I’m proud and very happy for you."

Zhang Yean turned, her eyes filled with admiration, and said with a smile, "Junior, you’re amazing!"

Jiang An turned to look at them and quickly lowered his head to organize the skeletons.

In his view, these were merely past achievements.

At present, he must separate these bones.

On the forensic examination table were two human skeletons side by side.

Except, one of the skeletons was missing a skull.

The bones of the victim’s torso and upper limbs have been separated and assembled.

At this moment, Jiang An is bending over, separating and identifying the lower limb bones of the two victims.

Li Jian, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, put away his phone and said to Wan, "Stop looking! Hurry up with the autopsy."

Just as he finished speaking, the door to Autopsy Room No. 1 was pushed open.

Mr. Ma walked in, his face extremely grave.

Li Jian was a bit surprised.

He hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Ma, why are you here?"

Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan all turned to greet him.

"Mr. Ma!"

"Mr. Ma!"

"Mr. Ma!"

Mr. Ma nodded slightly.

"How’s the autopsy going?"

Li Jian replied, "We’re assembling the bodies."

Following Li Jian’s direction, Mr. Ma’s gaze shifted to the forensic examination table.

On the table lay two bodies, one of which was without a head.

"Are these the bodies found at the Minghao Clothing Factory?"

Li Jian responded, "Exactly!"

Instantly, Mr. Ma’s worry eased.

Ever since he made a promise to Deputy Mayor Liu on the phone, he’s been anxious.

If it wasn’t two bodies, he would lose face.

But now, there’s nothing to worry about.

These are indeed two bodies.

Jiang An’s judgment was correct.

Suddenly, Li Jian picked up his phone again and illuminated the screen.

"Mr. Ma, here’s some good news for you."

"Just now, Jiangcheng Headline specially reported on Jiang An’s outstanding deeds."

Mr. Ma glanced, "So fast?"

Li Jian was shocked, "You know?"

Mr. Ma said, "We just held a briefing on the murder case, and I mentioned Jiang An’s actions there."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian immediately saluted and said, "Mr. Ma, thank you for your deep affection for the criminal investigation team."

"As the head of the criminal investigation team, I am deeply grateful."

Mr. Ma looked at Jiang An.

"That’s because Jiang An is excellent enough; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been reported by Jiangcheng Headline."

Jiang An looked up and said, "Mr. Ma, you’re too kind!"

"I still have a lot to learn and improve."

Wan patted his shoulder and said, "You’re still learning? Doesn’t that mean you’re leaving us seniors in the dust?"

"I didn’t mean that!"

Jiang An finished assembling the last bone and said, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, the assembly is complete. Except for the female victim’s missing skull, all other bones are present."

Then the four of them all came over, carefully observing the completed skeletal assembly.

Neat!

Extremely standard.

Even though none of the four studied medicine, they could feel the coordination in the assembly of these two bodies.

Wan gave a thumbs up again, "Indeed, you’re the one who scored full marks in human systemic anatomy, no exaggeration at all."

Mr. Ma, Li Jian, and Zhang Yean all cast approving glances.

A moment later, Mr. Ma asked, "What about the ages of the two victims?"

"According to the characteristics of the pubic bones, the male victim is 48 years old, and the female is 24 years old."

"What about their heights?"

"Based on the length of their femurs, the male victim is approximately 175 cm, and the female is about 160 cm."

After listening, Mr. Ma nodded slightly.

Then he asked, "Can the causes of death for the two victims be determined?"

Jiang An nodded, turning to retrieve a Willow Leaf Blade and tweezers from the nearby toolbox.

He lifted the Willow Leaf Blade, focusing his eyes on the remnants of the male victim’s chest organs.

Then, with the tweezers in his right hand and the blade in his left, he skillfully separated the victim’s trachea.

The Willow Leaf Blade in Jiang An’s hand moved quickly, his wrist incredibly agile.

In just 10 seconds, he completely cut through the victim’s trachea and bronchi.

With the bronchi fully exposed, Jiang An said, "The cause of death is clear."

"So fast?"

All four instantly crowded over.

They saw the inner walls of the victim’s trachea and bronchi were coated with a lot of black soot.

Jiang An said gravely, "This male victim likely had strong respiratory reactions when the fire occurred indoors."

Both Mr. Ma and Li Jian nodded.

They had witnessed many fire victims, so the logic was quite straightforward.

The fire indoors with soot distributed in the air enters the respiratory tract due to breathing, a critical sign of being burnt to death.

Next, using the same procedure, Jiang An cut open the female victim’s trachea.

However, upon exposing the trachea’s inner wall, Jiang An froze.

With a puzzled look, he turned and said, "Strange!"

"The female victim’s trachea inner wall is very clean!"
