CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 197: THE GAME IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM

Seeing Jiang An standing there motionless, his eyes fixed on the medical record.

Zhang Yean curiously asked, "Junior brother, do you also think the frequency is a bit high?"

At this moment, Wan also walked over.

He smirked and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother is a very upright person; he must be very shocked by this phenomenon."

As soon as the words were said, Jiang An shook his head.

"Actually, what surprises me is not the number of miscarriages, but the result after them."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang An raised his hand and pointed to the doctor’s surgical record.

"Senior sister, senior brother, look!"

"In the surgical record, Zhang Yan had her ovaries removed during her last abortion surgery."

"Ovarian removal?"

Zhang Yean was taken aback, having not noticed this aspect in the medical record earlier.

As an adult woman, she had some understanding of human anatomy.

The ovaries are extremely significant for women.

"Does this mean she won’t easily get pregnant in the future?"

Jiang An nodded.

"From my forensic expertise, I believe this possibility is very high."

"Ovaries produce eggs, and without eggs, a fertilized egg cannot form."

After a slight pause, Jiang An said solemnly, "Moreover, I suspect this very well could be Zhang Yan’s motive."

"Motive?"

"Motive?"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Zhang Yean and Wan were momentarily stunned, their faces showing surprise.

After a long while, Zhang Yean said softly, "I think if a woman loses her ability to conceive, it’s like losing half a life."

Instantly, a sly grin appeared on Wan’s face.

He said, "Could it be that the father of the deceased, Li Lan, caused her ectopic pregnancy? He’s really still going strong."

Zhang Yean turned and glared at him, "Senior brother, your thoughts are unhealthy."

Jiang An paid no mind to this and said in a deep voice, "I think this possibility is quite high."

"I suggest we go to the hospital and consult an obstetrician for confirmation."

Zhang Yean quickly said, "That is indeed a good method."

"The doctor will certainly provide us with an authoritative explanation."

Thirty minutes later, the three of them arrived at Zhouqiao Maternity Hospital with the medical records.

This was the hospital where she had her last abortion surgery.

Upon entering the hospital, Jiang An flaunted his badge.

"Hello! We are police from the criminal investigation team."

"Due to case investigations, we want to find the attending doctor for this abortion surgery."

The nurse at the reception desk took the medical record, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "You’re looking for Dr. Mei! She’s on duty at the clinic today."

"May I ask which clinic?"

The nurse turned and pointed, "Turn right, then it’s the third consulting room, Room 201."

"Thank you!"

Soon enough!

The three of them were at the door of Room 201.

At that moment, Dr. Mei was inside the consultation room treating a patient.

Dr. Mei glanced up, and Jiang An nodded gently.

She said to the patient in front of her, "After you go home, just follow the instructions to take the medicine."

Then, the two patients left.

At this point, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan walked in.

As soon as they entered the room, Jiang An showed his badge.

"Hello! We are police officers and would like to inquire about a patient."

Dr. Mei lifted her hand to adjust the frame of her glasses on her nose.

"Hello! Which patient do you officers want to know about?"

Immediately, Jiang An placed the medical record on her desk.

"Do you have any recollection of a patient named Zhang Yan?"

Dr. Mei glanced at the hospitalization date.

"I’m sorry! We perform a large number of abortion surgeries at our hospital."

"It’s been quite some time, and I can’t remember immediately."

Jiang An nodded.

"May I ask a professional question, what impact does an ectopic pregnancy have on fertility?"

Dr. Mei explained scientifically, "If the ectopic pregnancy is small, the impact is not significant."

"However, if it’s large, it can potentially cause ischemic necrosis of the local ovary."

"In such cases, if ovarian removal surgery is performed, it severely affects fertility."

"If the other ovary has uterine fibroids or other lesions causing ovulation problems, then pregnancy is practically impossible."

Zhang Yean curiously asked, "Is it that serious?"

"Exactly!"

"After all, if ovulation can’t occur, a fertilized egg can’t be formed."

Subsequently, Jiang An said, "Dr. Mei, please take a look at Zhang Yan’s surgical record."

"Could you evaluate if this woman still has reproductive capability after her ectopic pregnancy surgery?"

Dr. Mei picked up the medical record and carefully reviewed it.

After five minutes, Dr. Mei looked somewhat solemn.

She shook her head, "I don’t know how this woman relates to the case."

"But from an obstetrician’s perspective, during her ectopic pregnancy surgery, her right ovary was removed and her left ovary has multiple fibroids."

"In such a situation, the likelihood of future pregnancy is almost zero."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An nodded.

He felt even more certain of his thoughts.

"Thank you, Dr. Mei."

Just as the three turned to leave, Dr. Mei suddenly said, "I remembered!"

"This woman came to me several times for follow-up after her ectopic pregnancy surgery."

"Moreover, she came to see me just a month ago."

"A month ago?"

Jiang An suddenly became alert.

"What did she come for?"

Dr. Mei answered, "She registered to see me for abdominal pain, pelvic inflammation."

"But during the consultation, she mentioned her right elbow hurt a bit and asked me to take a look as well."

"At the time, I suggested she take an X-ray to check."
