Chapter 1132 - 580: Brilliant On-Site Analysis!

Upon hearing Jiang An’s question, Mr. Chen and Director Hou immediately fell into deep thought.

After the initial examination by the forensic doctor, a very crucial issue became clear.

That is, there were indeed injuries on the deceased caused by external force.

However, why were there no signs of struggle on the deceased?

As the old saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

How could a person facing a life-threatening situation not put up any resistance?

This result is obviously very unusual!

At this moment, Mr. Chen looked at the corpse before him and then glanced at the surrounding items and environment.

He said, "Everything around is very neatly arranged."

"If the deceased died here, it’s really strange!"

Director Hou listened and then looked at a small coffee table near the deceased’s feet, which had two glass cups and a jar of honey on it.

"Indeed, look at the coffee table, it’s not tipped over, and the deceased’s legs are very close to it."

"Even if the struggle was small, at least the legs should have moved!"

"But everything here looks so calm!"

Just as he finished speaking, the young forensic doctor raised his hand eagerly like a student in class, "Report to the leaders, I have an idea."

Seeing this, Deputy Director Chen Guan chuckled lightly and said, "Li, in our case discussions, there’s no need for you to raise your hand."

"This isn’t school, we’re all equals here."

"Young people like you have more active thoughts than us older folks, just speak up boldly."

On hearing this, the young officer immediately said, "Report to the leaders, I had a thought during the examination just now."

"Death caused by mechanic asphyxia due to neck compression is not as immediate as being stabbed in the heart or a skull fracture."

"This kind of asphyxial death is relatively slower, there should be time for struggle."

"However, I didn’t see any signs of struggle on the deceased, could this mean the assailant was very strong?"

"Moreover, I have a feeling that the position where the deceased is lying is not where they were initially attacked."

"Oh? Why do you think that?" Chen Guan asked.

The young forensic doctor shook his head, "Just a sixth sense! I can’t explain it concretely."

Hearing this, Jiang An glanced over and said with approval, "Your intuition is good, I also think it’s not the initial location."

Deputy Director Chen Guan then asked, "So does Captain Jiang also believe there was a fight in the bathroom, and then the body was moved to this sofa?"

Jiang An gestured no, "No, if there was a fight in the bathroom, the deceased’s body shouldn’t be this clean."

"Based on the earlier deduction, the time of death was last night, in just less than 24 hours, if a fight occurred in the bathroom, the clothes wouldn’t dry so quickly."

"Moreover, the clothes and socks are neatly worn, clearly not looking like they were bathing in the bathroom."

"If not in the bathroom, then where?"

Saying this, Chen Guan turned to look around and noticed that the surrounding items were very orderly, with no issues.

At this time, Jiang An pointed to the four corners of the sofa and said, "Mr. Chen, Director Hou, this wooden sofa hasn’t been moved in a long time."

"Because the sofa’s back isn’t against the wall, it would slightly shift if moved."

"Look at the four corners at the base, they are still in their original positions, with no sliding."

"This indicates that the moment of death did not occur here and the body was moved from elsewhere."

Saying this, the young forensic doctor suddenly had an epiphany.

He looked at Jiang An with admiration, then bent down and lifted the sofa.

Sure enough, underneath the sofa leg that was lifted, there was a circular mark on the floor.

Just one glance and it was clear it hadn’t been moved in a long time.

Jiang An then looked at the entryway and the windows, saying, "If we deduce that the deceased was moved from another location, this problem becomes a bit complicated."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Chen Guan became visibly agitated.

He hurriedly said, "Now it’s complicated."

"A clear sign of a fight but no body."

"Where the body is, there are no signs of struggle."

"It makes my mind a mess instantly."

Just then, Director Hou patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Chen, don’t be too anxious."

"The investigation is only beginning, aren’t we unraveling the mystery bit by bit?"

Mr. Chen sighed and said, "True, with both of you here, I feel much more at ease."

"Otherwise, in Guangling with a case like this, we’d probably have to set up a task force, taking ten days or half a month."

As the two were discussing, Jiang An turned and looked at the windows and doors.

After a long pause, he said, "This room is on the second floor, all windows have burglar bars."

"Obviously, if the killer entered the apartment, they could only have come through the door."

"The person who reported the crime said the door was closed with no signs of forced entry," Mr. Chen said, "It was opened by a locksmith."

Hearing this, Jiang An pondered deeply for a while and said, "If we’re sure the deceased was killed at home, could it have happened at the entryway?"
