Zhang Yean said, "Advising someone to study medicine is like being struck by lightning."
Wan also shook his head, "Luckily, I didn't study medicine."
Just then, the door of the No. 1 forensic autopsy room was pushed open.
Li Jian walked in and asked, "Haven't started yet?"
"About to start!"
He asked, "These bones are mixed together, separating them is difficult. Should we get Wu You back to help?"
Jiang An firmly said, "That won't be necessary for now."
"Only the bones of two people were found at the fire scene. As long as I can separate one person's bones, the rest belong to the other."
As he spoke, Jiang An dumped all the bones from the box onto the stainless-steel autopsy table.
Li Jian glanced over, his expression showing a hint of doubt.
"These bones look quite similar, don't they?"
"Is it really that easy to separate them?"
Jiang An nodded, "Mr. Li, I am confident."
"The two deceased are different genders, with significant height differences."
"That's the basis for my separation and identification."
Meanwhile.
Deputy Captain Chen He was leading a team conducting an investigation.
They first arrived at the security office of Minghao Clothing Factory, where an elderly security guard was watching videos inside.
Chen He showed his badge, "Hello! I'm a detective from the Jiangcheng Police Team."
"We have some questions we'd like to ask."
As he spoke, Chen He noticed there was still some soot on the security guard's forehead.
Upon hearing it was the police, he quickly put down his phone and stood up.
"Were you the first to discover the fire last night?"
The security guard nodded, "I was the one who found it!"
Chen He glanced at the security regulations on the wall, asking, "Do night shifts require regular patrols?"
He answered, "Yes, patrols are needed! Every night there's a patrol every hour during the shift."
"How did you patrol last night?"
The security guard's gaze was evasive, rubbing his hands together.
"Same as usual, patrolled once an hour!"
Chen He glanced at his phone and asked, "Really? I advise you to answer truthfully."
The security guard was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Last night, I only patrolled once."
"I was thinking that there haven't been any thefts at the factory in the last six months, so I didn't patrol as thoroughly, and then... "
Chen He nodded and softly said, "We are not your boss, we are investigating a case, please answer accordingly."
"What time did you patrol?"
"I remember it was around 4 AM."
"What about the fire at that time?"
"I saw a large fire in the chairman's office on the second floor, so I immediately called 119."
Chen He asked, "When I first got here, I heard from the local police station chief that you initially tried to put out the fire yourself?"
The security guard looked up at Chen He and shook his head.
"That was just a lie I made up myself, I was worried about being fired."
"I remember the flames then were huge, they must have been burning for a long time."
Chen He noted down the key points in his notebook and continued to ask, "Last night, when you patrolled at 4 AM, did you find anyone else in the factory?"
The security guard shook his head, "The lighting was poor at the time, and I patrolled with my phone."
"Patrolling with a phone?"
The accompanying officer asked sternly.
"Were you watching videos on your phone?"
The security guard lightly nodded.
Chen He waved his hand, indicating not to dwell on this issue.
He then asked, "Regarding when the fire started in the office, are you unsure?"
The security guard nodded.
"Where is the surveillance control room?"
"It's in that room over there."
Then, Chen He stood up and said, "Let's go! Check the surveillance."
At that moment.
Mr. Ma had just returned to his office to review a document when the desk phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and immediately his pupils constricted.
His mind turned; why would Deputy Mayor Liu suddenly call?
He was in charge of the city's education and economic sectors.
Could it be he was calling to congratulate on the resolution of the murder case?
That can't be it!
Although the case involved two deaths and was solved quickly, a deputy mayor wouldn't be concerned about such a minor task.
After briefly speculating, Mr. Ma picked up the receiver.
"Deputy Mayor Liu, hello!"
"Mr. Ma, good to hear from you!"
"Deputy Mayor Liu, what brings you our way?"
"There's no smoke without fire, I have something to discuss with you today."
"Leader, please instruct us!"
"This morning I heard there was a fire in the industrial park, and a person was found dead inside."
Mr. Ma quickly nodded and said, "Indeed! The detective team is conducting a scene investigation!"
The other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying, "That Minghao Clothing Factory is a long-established private enterprise here, providing many local jobs."
"The handling of this case might affect the entire Jiangcheng business environment, so you must take it seriously."
"The body found at the fire scene by the fire brigade might very well belong to the factory owner."
Mr. Ma suddenly remembered the preliminary situation reported by Li Jian.
He hesitated for a moment, then gravely said, "Deputy Mayor Liu, two bodies were found at the scene."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Mayor Liu asked in surprise, "The report from the fire department earlier clearly stated one skull was found at the scene, how are there two deceased?"
Mr. Ma replied, "We report to the leader; one body has yet to have a skull discovered!"
After a moment of silence, Deputy Mayor Liu gravely said, "The number of deceased is not a trivial matter; you must get it clear."
"Please rest assured! The forensic expert in charge of the scene investigation has extensive experience."
"Is it your detective team's forensic expert Wu You?"
Mr. Ma replied, "It's not forensic expert Wu You, but the newly arrived forensic expert Jiang An!"
