Chapter 3: The Criminal Police Squadron

So this is the fundamental information of the head of the household? inquired a chubbier cop.

Youre correct, Captain Wang. An Jinzhong spoke up.

Captain Wang stroked his beard and rubbed An Jinzhong on the back: Its difficult work, old friend, going to placate the masses while blocking the reporters. Before the case is investigated, dont let those messy people come up.

I know. An Jinzhong gave a nod.

An Jinzhong took one last look at the deceased before heading downstairs with the police officer from the station. As a police officer, An Jinzhong has never considered becoming a criminal police officer who can reason and probe, but An Jinzhong, a nearly half-century-old police officer, understands that he will never have the opportunity to realise this desire in his life.

He sighed and walked past the residents who were unlocking the fifth-floor lock. He felt that the years would pass without leaving a mark, and he couldnt help but feel desolation in the spring and fall, wishing he could sing a poetry on the spot. After watching An Jinzhong leading the crew away, the resident on the fifth floor peered down.

Jiang He was the guy in question.

Jiang He hurried downstairs with Captain Wang. Captain Wang and his group were approaching from a distance while Jiang He was contemplating how to slip into the passageway under the nose of this policeman. Jiang He considered it, glanced left and right, then took up a single shirt that others had set aside and placed it on his body.

Some detectives were dressed in plainclothes, and Jiang He kindly trailed behind them.

As a result, nothing can be seen on the surface of the earth, and the surface is always the side that people want you to observe. As a consequence, Jiang Hes created an excellent habit. He will constantly perform a thorough investigation of what he sees with his eyes, and pick the finest solution from the countless alternatives in his thoughts.

And Captain Wang in front of him clearly lacked this quality.

Lao An told me to come up and look at it Jiang He exuded confidence.

Captain Wang nodded and sat down to examine the corpse at the entryway, Wu Guifengs corpse, without paying too much attention to Jiang He.

Jiang He was currently standing behind Captain Wang and staring at the dead. His eyes were like a high-speed scanner, scanning all the information about the corpse into his brain, and practically at the same moment, Jiang was thinking about something else. His mind processed the facts.

Female corpse between the ages of fifty and sixty. The female body stood between 1.5 and 1.6 metres tall and was dressed in a green T-shirt and regular black jeans. The pants surface was smooth, and there wasnt any blood on them. The female corpse was leaning against the fifty-centimeter-high shoe cabinet. At this point, the female corpses head was at the height of the shoe cabinet, and her head was lying on the shoe cabinets groove, preventing it from falling down.

Jiang He observed the right hand of the female corpse. The hand of the female corpse was rough. Despite being coated in blood, it couldnt stop the rough and dry traces of time. The female corpses right hand had a thimble on the middle finger, and the dense pit on the thimble was filled with blood.

A knife was placed into the female corpses abdomen at the time. According to the knife handle, the length of the knife is around 10 centimetres, and the majority of the blades have penetrated the abdomen of the female corpse. The length of the blade is unknown. According to Jiang Hes knife research, Jiang He has an 80% chance of proving that the blade of a typical home serrated knife is approximately 12 to 150% of the length of the handle.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

That means, the blade measures between twelve and fifteen centimetres in length.

The length of the blade revealed outside the corpse was around three centimetres, implying that at least ten centimetres of the blade punctured the female corpses abdomen. The direction of the hilt is oblique, but it is inward, that is, closer to the face of the female corpse.

Gloves, Jiang says. He said to Captain Wang, who was standing next to him.

Captain Wang gazed at the small police officer who had materialised out of nowhere. His heart was already fried, despite the fact that his expression remained unchanged. Who the hell is this lazy cop? How could he have made such a sensible decision after only a few minutes of observation, which surprised everyone in the room?

Captain Wang eventually took a close look at the man.

A long-unwashed head of hair, a single coat that is clearly much larger than his body, two thick dark circles around his eyes, a face with no variations, and eyes that are icy and harsh.

In a small police station, there is such a formidable person. If there is a chance, let this individual come to the substation, Captain Wang reasoned, then I will save a lot of energy.

And, of course, Captain Wang is unaware of this. The individual who appears to be powerful in his sight is actually a social idler.

Gloves. Jiang became concerned when no one responded. He spoke once more.

A policeman next to Captain Wang handed Jiang He the glove.

Jiang He nodded, put on his gloves, and crouched next to the dead body.

He stretched out and touched the corpses shirt and trousers, both of which were made of rough cloth. The trousers and T-shirt are worn and appear to have been worn for a long period. The T-shirt was plainly a mens t-shirt, and judging on how ill-fitting it was, it wasnt purchased expressly for her.

After seeing this, Jiang Hes head conveyed a message to Jiang He: This old lady is generally very frugal and belongs to the type of person who can save money.

He held his breath and focused on the serrated knife.

Such serrated knives are usual in homes, but Jiang He felt that they were inappropriate in this family. This type of serrated knife is designed for cutting difficult-to-cut meat, such as frozen meat. An old-fashioned Wangmazi kitchen knife is a wonderful alternative for an elderly woman looking to save money when cutting vegetables or meat. Excellent decision.

Because the knifes handle had been flushed, just a small amount of blood was splattered on it, and most of the locations were still clean. Looking further down, the blade was pointed down toward the belly, which strengthened Jiang Hes view that this elderly woman committed suicide.

Jiang He got to his feet and stated, This individual is still 90% likely to have committed suicide. What about the forensic physician? Why dont I see a forensic doctor?

The prior detective was irritated by his statements. Even though Jiang He thought he was only explaining the situation, it sounded a little domineering to the detectives ears. He couldnt stop himself from saying, Youre just a policeman. If you dont have anything to do, go back to mediate disputes between your neighbors and your parents. Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to command here?

Enraged by this crazy move, Captain Wang gently waved his hand. The individual in front of him was obviously out of the ordinary. This was Captain Wangs gut instinct.

There is no criminal investigation technology unit in the sub-bureau, but the city bureaus forensic medicine is on its way. However, I have a question, Captain Wang stated to Jiang He.
