"Teacher! Teacher!"
Watching his disciple Li Changgeng shout excitedly, Zhang Yuanchao let out a long sigh.
In the province's forensic team, there aren't many forensic doctors with both grassroots experience and high academic qualifications. Li Changgeng is a promising student in Zhang Yuanchao's eyes.
"How many times have I told you, be steady, be steady."
"Teacher, it's not that, look at this!"
Zhang Yuanchao is a forensic doctor, not a leader. With few people in the forensic team, Li Changgeng is obviously much more casual in front of Zhang Yuanchao.
"Oh, which team pulled strings for you?"
This is human nature; who doesn't have friends or classmates?
Zhang Yuanchao went through the same, so as long as the students aren't too excessive, he is willing to open a back door.
It's no different from seeing a doctor, where some people need to queue, but others don't.
Just that, one is the dead, and the other is the living.
"No, teacher, this is a Skeleton Identification Analysis review report."
Skeleton Identification Analysis?
"Someone down there can do Skeleton Identification Analysis?"
Zhang Yuanchao looked at Li Changgeng in confusion and took the report he handed over.
There are talents in the Criminal Investigation Team below, and Zhang Yuanchao never looks down on the detectives battling on the front line.
He himself came from the front line.
However, Skeleton Identification Analysis is not fingerprint comparison; in the entire province, those who can do skeleton analysis are less than five.
However, with just one glance, Zhang Yuanchao's gaze suddenly froze.
The more he looked, the richer the expression on his face became.
After a while, Zhang Yuanchao read the entire report and took a deep breath.
"Damn!"
"Who made this report?"
After submitting the review application for the report, Lu Chuan didn't pay further attention.
The crime scene investigation's skeletal DNA information has been extracted, but unfortunately, the identity of the skeleton owner hasn't been matched in the database.
At this point, there's not much more the crime scene investigation can do.
In the office, Liu Guodong and others have already started their work.
"Lu, how was the work at Forensic Doctor Wang's side last night?"
Lu poured tea for Liu Guodong: "It's all done; eighty pieces of bone are less than one-twentieth of the adult bone weight, impossible to piece together a complete skeleton."
"I just helped identify the category of bone fragments."
Lu didn't mention helping with Skeleton Identification Analysis.
On one hand, this was a helping matter, Lu was merely experimenting with newly acquired skills, and the results haven't come out yet, waiting for the experts at the provincial level to review.
The crime scene investigation office has also submitted many fingerprint identification technical assistance requests, and the waiting time is really unpredictable.
Sometimes there's not even a reply.
On the other hand, his actual job is a crime scene detective, not a forensic doctor. Rather than studying his professional skills, he went to help others with Skeleton Identification Analysis...
Lu feels his current job is great, not busy, valuable, and incidentally, has status.
Aside from the low salary, everything else is good.
"Ding!"
"Basic task completed: The host has completed an excellent Skeleton Identification Analysis, the identification report has passed the provincial-level Technical Center expert review, and it's now admissible as judicial evidence."
At this moment, Lu heard the system completing the basic task prompt in his mind.
Task completed, does that mean the provincial-level review is finished?
So quickly?
The provincial-level experts...
Took the wrong medicine?
However, since it has passed, it must be a good thing.
At least the forensic side doesn't need to beg around anymore.
Lu was busy for half a night, and the action team wasn't idle either.
Another night without sleep.
Personnel at the involved feed factory have already been reviewed.
Especially the personnel in the large bone processing segment, all have undergone isolation inquiry.
However, the results are minimal.
In Meeting Room One, Qin Yong is listening to Ren Qiang and others' reports.
"In the feed factory, there are three staff members processing bone meal."
On the whiteboard are photos of three related personnel.
Ren Qiang pointed to the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows: "This man's name is Li Bing, he's a cutting worker at the factory, responsible for the initial cut processing of large bones."
"The human bones found in the hotpot restaurant were all cut and processed."
"So, at the moment, it appears this man's suspicion is the greatest."
Qin Yong is flipping through Li Bing's residence registration, he's a local: "How was the inquiry result?"
Ren Qiang and others at the hotpot restaurant and feed factory don't have evidence proving their crime, so they cannot call it interrogation, only inquiry.
Moreover, even an interrogation requires a pre-examination, and the interrogation time is limited, with a minimum of two detectives present for it to proceed.
Ren Qiang shook his head: "This Li Bing insists he knows nothing, the bones he processes are all purchased."
"As for whether there are human bones inside or other bones, he's not sure."
"Hmph!"
Investigator Zhang Hui from the second group attending the meeting snorted: "Captain Qin, in my view, this man is the murderer!"
"He's been doing this for so many years, can't distinguish human bones from animal bones?"
"Besides, most of their bones are with flesh, requiring later steaming and deboning to produce bone meal."
"The skeletons we found at the hotpot restaurant, aside from those at the pot bottom, as well as the bones in the kitchen bags, have no steaming marks."
"Moreover, these bones are sold to the hotpot restaurant by him, if not him, then who?"
Zhang Hui's analysis resonated with many case-handling detectives.
From the current clues, Li Bing indeed seems the most suspicious, aside from evidence, every reasoning is logical and reasonable.
Qin Yong also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Hui's analysis.
However, case handling requires evidence, without evidence it's just playing games.
"Zhang Hui's analysis matches the clues discovered at this stage, but we mustn't exclude other possibilities."
"Especially in the case of incomplete evidence, no line of inquiry can be abandoned."
Qin Yong begins deploying the next phase of work: "Next, focus on profiling the feed factory personnel."
"And regarding the missing persons comparison..."
Saying this, Qin Yong looked at Liu Guodong: "Old Liu, any results from the bone DNA information comparison?"
Liu Guodong shook his head: "No, we've compared all the missing persons and those whose DNA data has been collected, but haven't matched the skeleton's identity."
Qin was silent for a moment, unable to confirm the skeleton's identity means all work is rootless, making the case handling feel without a grip.
"Yangtze River, any progress on the forensic side?"
