Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 36: The Forensic Doctor's Skills Have Improved


Hanging up the phone, Wang Kai looked at Qin Yong with a somewhat serious expression.

"The Criminal Investigation Team... hired a new forensic doctor?"

Being in charge of the Criminal Investigation Team, how come he didn't know about hiring a forensic doctor? What's going on?

The Criminal Investigation Team is getting bold, daring to set their superiors' authority aside?!

Qin Yong was also utterly confused, blinking his eyes under dark circles like an innocent courtesan stepping out for the first time: "No, just Wang Changjiang and Shen Yan."

"You know Old Wang's situation. When you were the captain, he was already the forensic doctor, and Shen Yan just joined two years ago..."

Wang Kai took a deep look at Qin Yong.

This subordinate of his is diligent, responsible, and can be said to be promoted single-handedly by himself.

Lying to him...

Seems unlikely, and there's no need to either.

"Let's go to the Criminal Investigation Team!"

Forensic Office.

Wang Changjiang is a fan of Peking Opera, and when he has free time, he loves to sit in his office with a purple clay teapot listening to a few segments.

Actually, forensic doctors mostly have nothing to do when there are no bodies.

Sometimes, Shen Yan gets pulled into the administrative offices to give a hand, but with Wang Changjiang's seniority and age, no one would command him around.

And even if they did, they wouldn't succeed.

Shen Yan wasn't called to help today and was organizing yesterday's case files.

The office door was pushed open directly, and Shen Yan looked up to see Qin Yong.

Alongside him was a man in a white shirt.

The young woman quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, Vice Director Wang!"

"Hello, Captain Qin!"

Wang Kai nodded, looking at the back of the person facing away from the door, half-lying in the chair, holding a teapot and wearing headphones listening to Peking Opera — Wang Changjiang.

No need to ask how Wang Kai knew.

Not to mention when Wang Kai was the captain in the Criminal Investigation Team, Wang Changjiang already had this hobby.

One could tell from the melody Old Wang was humming that he was listening to Peking Opera.

Qin Yong's face was a bit dark as he went up and tapped on the desk, startling Wang Changjiang.

He quickly put down the teapot, took off the headphones, turned around, and met Wang Kai's indifferent gaze.

Slacking in front of two consecutive team leaders, not even Wang Changjiang could withstand this.

"Vice Director Wang, what brings you here?"

Wang Kai snorted coldly: "Why, can't I come?"

"Or do I have to report to you when I visit the Criminal Investigation Team?"

If it weren't for them being peers from university and joining the police in the same year, Wang Kai didn't know what he would have done...

Wang Changjiang forced a smile and quickly moved his chair: "Please have a seat, sir. Shen, quickly pour some tea!"

Shen Yan responded and swiftly poured tea, easing the awkward atmosphere.

"That's enough with the tea," Qin Yong spoke timely: "Old Wang, I ask you, was it you who worked on the bones yesterday?"

"Yes, it was me and Shen..." Wang Changjiang paused: "I borrowed Lu Chuan from Old Liu, letting him and Shen sort the bones together."

"Lu Chuan?"

Qin Yong questioned.

Wang Changjiang nodded: "When at the hotpot place, I noticed Lu Chuan could distinguish cut bones very clearly."

"The Crime Scene Investigation team extracted DNA information from the bones last night, and since there was nothing else, I let Lu Chuan come help."

"Old Liu knows, and he agreed."

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Let's discuss the Skeleton Identification Analysis report."

Qin Yong's expression was a bit serious: "Old Wang, since you've already completed the Skeleton Identification Analysis and submitted it through the technical platform for provincial review, why did you still ask me to contact Director Wang for assistance from the provincial department?"

Huh?

"What analysis report?"

Wang Changjiang was baffled: "Director Wang, Captain Qin, don't you know my level?"

"Regular autopsies are fine, but Skeleton Identification Analysis, not just me, but only two or three people in the entire province can do it."

Wang Kai and Qin Yong exchanged a glance: "Really not you?"

Wang Changjiang was getting anxious: "It's really not me. If you don't believe me, ask Shen."

Shen Yan quickly spoke up: "Director Wang, Captain Qin, it really wasn't done by my mentor."

Wang Changjiang's expression didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need either.

If he had that skill, it would be a good thing.

But if it wasn't him, then who was it?

"Old Wang, we just got off the phone with Forensic Doctor Zhang Yuanchao from the Provincial Technical Identification Center."

"He said our Haizhou Criminal Investigation Team submitted a Skeleton Identification Analysis report on the tech platform last night, asking provincial experts for review."

"Conducting a Skeleton Identification Analysis definitely requires using those instruments in the team. Since it wasn't you, who do you think used them last night?"

Huh?

At this point, how could Wang Changjiang not realize what's going on?

Shen Yan's face also changed drastically.

Last night, the only one who used the instruments was Lu Chuan.

Could something have gone wrong?

Now, Wang Changjiang regretted letting Lu Chuan use those instruments yesterday.

Looking at it now, something must have happened.

Otherwise, why would Wang Kai be here?

But to just sell out Lu Chuan like that?

How could Wang Changjiang do such a thing?

Lu Chuan came to help the forensic doctors last night, and if something went wrong and he was sold out like that, how would Wang Changjiang carry on in the future?

Who would dare assist the forensic doctors then?

"Director Wang, Captain Qin," Wang Changjiang stepped forward seriously: "The incident occurred in the Forensic Office. Whatever the issue is, it's my problem."

"If there is an evaluation from above, I have no objections to any disciplinary action."

After listening to Wang Changjiang, Wang Kai and Qin Yong knew exactly what he was thinking.

At this point, although Wang Changjiang was a bit lazy, he was a good person indeed.

Qin Yong patted Wang Changjiang's shoulder: "Old Wang, it's good news, you don't need to hide it."

Good news?

Wang Changjiang looked at Wang Kai curiously, and Wang Kai nodded: "It's really good news. Tell us, what happened yesterday?"

"Well, yesterday..."

Wang Changjiang briefly recounted how Lu Chuan did a Skeleton Identification Analysis yesterday.

"Lu Chuan?!"

Qin Yong's tone was filled with doubt.

If you said Lu Chuan did some fingerprint analysis or footprint analysis, he wouldn't be surprised.

But a Skeleton Identification Analysis...

That's a forensic doctor's job.

"Indeed, it was Lu Chuan who said he had studied this area a bit in university, and I thought since our instruments weren't being used anyway, I'd let him practice a bit."

"Director Wang, Captain Qin, is it true that some of the data from Lu Chuan's analysis was adopted?"

Adopted?

Wang Kai smiled: "It's not as simple as just adopting data."

Zhang Yuanchao's original words: "Not worse than my own work, entirely suitable as judicial evidence."

Who is Zhang Yuanchao?

The top forensic doctor in the province, an honorary professor at the Public Security University, enjoying the provincial senior expert talent allowance, recognized at higher levels too.

Such a person gave the Skeleton Identification Analysis report done by Lu Chuan a "not worse than mine" evaluation!

It seems, within the Haizhou Criminal Investigation Team, a real talent has emerged.

"Let's go to the Crime Scene Investigation office!"
