Chapter 1133 - 580: Brilliant On-Site Analysis! (Part 2)

"The entrance?"

Chen Guan and Director Hou quickly walked over.

The floor was very rough, showing no footprints, and apart from a slight layer of dust, there were no special items fallen either.

Director Hou bent down to observe for a while and said, "There’s no obvious struggle marks here either."

Jiang An looked down thoughtfully and examined the body again.

Throughout his years in his career, he always adhered to one viewpoint: the traces you find can only be static.

Transforming static evidence into dynamic processes had always been the direction of his thoughts.

At this moment, he was pondering, in what position did the victim sustain these injuries?

Injury to the nape?

Compression on the neck?

Under what circumstances would these be formed?

Thinking about this, all possible postures and scenarios appeared in Jiang An’s mind.

At that moment, Director Hou spoke up, "Do you think it’s possible the victim died being pinned right here on the ground, then moved afterward?"

Mr. Chen thought for a while and said, "That’s possible, but his clothes seem a bit too clean."

The young forensic doctor added, "The back of the victim’s clothes is very clean."

"If he was compressed on the front side while on the ground, his back would certainly be dusty, but we see there’s no dust at all."

Mr. Chen added, "Could the clothes have been changed?"

At that moment, Jiang An was also considering various possibilities.

He had considered the possibility they mentioned.

However, he believed it was unlikely for the death to have occurred on the dusty ground.

One reason was that the floor had a lot of dust. If there had been a struggle, repeated friction would have left dust on the jacket and the jeans at the hips.

But during the autopsy earlier, no dust adherence could be seen.

Apart from this, Jiang An thought that if one intended to choke someone to death, there must be some support for the back.

Just like if you reach to choke someone, if they keep retreating,

you’d never exert enough pressure on the neck organs to cause asphyxiation due to obstruction.

So, there must be a support for the back.

And what would that support be?

Following this line of thought, Jiang An kept thinking outward and backward.

After a while, his gaze suddenly landed on the wall and the security door.

If the murderer used the door and the wall as support for compression, could it have been done that way?

Immediately, he said, "Young man, close the door behind us."

"Close the door?"

Upon hearing this, the young forensic doctor looked puzzled.

Earlier, when they entered the scene, they had deliberately opened the door wide inward.

This door opened inward, creating a niche with the wall.

However, since Mr. Jiang wanted the door closed, they would follow his instructions.

Soon, he closed the door.

Instantly, Jiang An looked up at the area behind the door.

Sure enough, there were slight scrape marks behind the door.

Jiang An firmly stated, "Here!"

Upon hearing this, Director Hou and Chen Guan also came over.

"This place really seems like it!"

In the visible area, the back of the door showed fresh scrape marks.

The four of them saw these marks and were no longer hesitant.

Such hidden marks couldn’t be something the family intentionally created.

Because when the deceased entered, the door was pushed back.

Thus, when opened, a very concealed environment was created behind the door.

In such a case, the wiping of dust behind the door had significant relevance to the case.

At this moment, Mr. Chen was overjoyed and extremely pleased.

He gave a thumbs-up and said, "Mr. Jiang, impressive!"

"You discovered such hidden marks."

Then Jiang An stepped forward for a closer inspection of the dust wiping behind the door.

Above a large area of wiping marks, there was a circular wiping area with some linear traces.

Upon seeing those linear areas, the young forensic doctor asked, "Mr. Jiang, it looks a bit strange with these lines, could it be from a specific object?"

Jiang An nodded, "Earlier, when you were inspecting the body, you found a scalp hematoma on the back of the head."

He pointed and said, "Therefore, this hematoma must be from an external force impact; this is the point of impact."

"So, what’s this linear imprint?"

Jiang An replied, "The linear imprint is formed from the contact with the deceased’s hair, possibly not formed in one impact but through continuous collisions, looking somewhat disordered."

"Oh, I see."

The young forensic doctor suddenly understood.

After Jiang An’s explanation, Deputy Chen Guang and Director Hou fully comprehended as well.

Director Hou said, "According to Mr. Jiang’s analysis, this should be where the victim was attacked."

Then, Chen Guang pondered for a while and said, "If this was the place of the attack, doesn’t it imply the suspect entered from the door?"

Then he added immediately, "Could the suspect be an acquaintance of the victim?"

"A female would likely not let a stranger inside."

Director Hou nodded and said, "Given the current circumstances, when the neck compression leading to the victim’s asphyxiation occurred, the suspect should have been indoors."

Once this was said, the surroundings fell silent again.

Meanwhile, at the Intelligence Information Center of Guangling City Public Security Bureau.

Qin Feng was leading two officers in tracking the movements of the deceased and another missing girl.

Though called tracking, it basically involved checking transport and lodging records.

It’s a common technical means used by the police.

However, current regulations are very strict, and the inquiry requirements are very stringent.

Furthermore, inquiry leaves a trace.

If any records are leaked, individuals can be held criminally responsible.

But now it’s necessary for work, and no laws or regulations are being broken.

Soon, the young officer entered the ID numbers of the deceased and the other missing girl into the system.

Qin Feng stood by with his notebook, ready to take notes.

Initially, he thought there would be only a few records.

After all, proper girls wouldn’t often rent rooms at a hotel.

Moreover, for investigation purposes, there’s no need to check all the records.

He told the officer, "We only need to check the lodging records within the last half year."

"Okay, Captain."

Immediately, the young officer entered the inquiry time, and the progress bar continued loading.

When it reached 100%, the young officer suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this nightlife is quite frequent?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng asked, "How many? Why make a fuss?"

The young officer answered, "Mr. Li, the number’s quite considerable."

"The deceased discovered today had 50 lodging records, and the other missing girl had 110 records."

Hearing this, Qin Feng also found it incredible.

Though the system had performed numerous searches, encountering such a high frequency of lodging records was a first.

Then, Li Jian asked, "Are you sure this was within six months?"

"Mr. Li, can’t be wrong! You see, the inquiry time is set for six months."

After a while, the young officer chuckled and said, "Mr. Li, seems like the youth are releasing quite a few hormones."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Immediately sort out the cohabitants!"

"Got it!"

At this moment, another problem arose in Qin Feng’s mind.

If they were to individually verify the crime times, checking this many people would be no easy task!

Do they really need to go through one by one?
