Zhang Feng merely glanced at the charred corpse.
He heard a colleague say they couldn't distinguish the gender of the deceased.
But Zhang Feng recognized it right away.
He subconsciously mentioned the reason he could tell the gender of the deceased.
Why is everyone looking at me like that?
Is there a problem?
In Zhang Feng's bewildered gaze,
the people around said nothing and turned back to their work.
But their faces seemed to be holding back some strange expression.
Lin Rui approached Zhang Feng, her face a little flushed.
With a slight sarcasm, she said to Zhang Feng:
"You're quite observant."
"Uh..."
This made Zhang Feng blush, but he still replied righteously:
"I'm just doing my job."
Lin Rui knew that work was the priority now.
With gloves on, she adjusted her half-frame glasses and carefully approached the burnt bed to examine the charred corpse.
Soon, someone brought gloves and other items to Zhang Feng.
After all, Zhang Feng was also a forensic doctor, and he was here to assist Director Lin with the autopsy.
But Zhang Feng slightly pursed his lips, waved his hand, and said:
"I won't be needing these..."
Indeed, even if you give Zhang Feng these items, he won't know how to use them!
When had he ever learned to do forensic work?
They might as well ask him to Open Celestial Eye for the autopsy!
Zhang Feng seemed to wander aimlessly in the room.
No one minded him.
They just assumed he was examining the scene.
But why would a forensic doctor, who isn't performing an autopsy, be inspecting the scene?
However, they reconsidered, knowing that Zhang Feng's greatest skill wasn't autopsy, but criminal investigation!
He had been promoted eight levels in criminal investigation technology!
So they all let it go.
But the local police responsible for the district didn't know Zhang Feng's identity.
Although they didn't understand what this so-called Forensic Doctor Zhang was doing,
since Officer Hu from the criminal investigation said nothing, what else could they say?
The officer who had been briefing Lin Rui previously came to her side quickly and said:
"The fire in this room affected several nearby rooms and wasn't extinguished until early morning today."
"When we arrived, the scene was mostly destroyed and washed over by water, so we couldn't find any evidence."
"But from our preliminary examination of the scene, we found no traces of a second person being here, so we speculate... either the deceased couldn't evade the fire in time or committed self-immolation."
"No way!"
The officer had just finished his words when Zhang Feng urgently interrupted from a corner of the room.
Many people's gazes fixed on Zhang Feng.
They heard Zhang Feng speak in a somewhat stern but very assured tone:
"This must be a murder case."
Zhang Feng's voice made Officer Hu and his criminal investigation colleagues suddenly alert,
while the surrounding local police looked puzzled.
To them, this man seemed to be a forensic doctor, right?
As a forensic doctor, instead of performing an autopsy, he was walking around the room.
And after wandering around for a while, he directly concluded the deceased was murdered?
Could it be...
At least check the victim's body before concluding, right?
Aren't you just making baseless assumptions?
The officer, interrupted twice by Zhang Feng, frowned slightly and turned to Zhang Feng, saying:
"Forensic doctor, since you're so sure this is a murder case, may I ask, what is the evidence?"
The evidence is that I smelled a scent of injustice.
Indeed, Zhang Feng seemed to be wandering aimlessly at the scene.
In reality, he was finding an angle that blocked others' sight, allowing him to form a hand sign discreetly.
Just a simple probe in his way.
The scent of the grievance rushed into Zhang Feng's mind.
It felt exactly like when Wu Di asked for help in Rain City and took him to that crime scene with the victim in the woven bag!
Moreover, the resentment from this spirit seemed even more intense than that of the victim in the Rain City case.
If Ma Xiaotong were here, being a fierce ghost, she could definitely sense the presence of a similar spirit.
But now...
Zhang Feng couldn't just tell them he smelled it, right?
So, he slightly pursed his lips and awkwardly said:
"Intuition..."
Intuition?
These words made the officers' expressions even stranger.
Some were even filled with contempt.
And the officer scoffed and said:
"If cases in this world could be solved through intuition, our job would be so easy!"
"Heh!"
Because Zhang Feng was a forensic doctor in criminal investigation, and the captain of the criminal investigation team was there too.
Without these credentials, the officer might have said something nastier.
However, just as he finished speaking,
Lin Rui, who was conducting a preliminary autopsy on the charred corpse, spoke up:
"He's right!"
This officer didn't react immediately, looking provocatively at Zhang Feng, he said:
"Director Lin, you agree with me, right?"
"Solving a case requires science, it can't rely on intuition..."
But he was interrupted again.
This time by Lin Rui.
Lin Rui turned around, looking at the officer coldly, expressionless.
She gently held up a strange-looking object with tweezers in her hand.
Then she said:
"These are the victim's teeth, already showing obvious signs of rose teeth."
"This indicates the victim died from mechanical asphyxia!"
"What?!"
These officers, especially the one speaking, were taken aback by Lin Rui's words.
A trace of surprise showed in their eyes.
Though they weren't from the criminal investigation team, they knew basic knowledge.
What are rose teeth?
They are a manifestation of capillary hemorrhage in the gum mucosa due to hypoxia during asphyxia, staining the teeth, appearing rose or light brownish-red on the dental cervix.
Mostly rose-colored.
The object Lin Rui was holding was the unburned teeth taken from the victim's oral cavity, showing the state of rose teeth after being soaked in alcohol.
"This..."
The officer seemed flustered, not because of the murder case, but because could that man really have been right with just a gut feeling?
If that was true.
Wouldn't it be a slap in his face?
And embarrassing?
So, holding his breath, he quickly said:
"The scene had a fire, the victim could have been asphyxiated by smoke from the fire, how can you be sure it was mechanical asphyxia?"
He's panicking, he's really panicking.
Zhang Feng let out a slight smile, calmly saying:
"What if the fire started from the victim themselves?"
