Chapter 1322 Criminal Record
Tang Feng, a forensic doctor from Changyang City Public Security Bureau, was waiting in the forensic autopsy room early.
Similar to the Qinghe Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Criminal Science and Technology Center of the Changyang Municipal Public Security Bureau is mainly a support institution. It does not conduct forensic autopsies on ordinary cases and is usually only used for major cases, as well as to support the district and county public security bureaus below it.
Of course, the "unnatural deaths" in Changyang Prison are definitely considered to be in the pipeline for major cases. Wan Baoming originally selected Tang Feng to perform the autopsies himself because Tang Feng was a young and promising forensic doctor at the Changyang Criminal Science and Technology Center. He was skilled and physically strong, and had experience in confronting people or shifting blame. Unlike some guys who were about to retire, he was not doing his job all day long.
However, now that they've heard that Changyang Prison has invited Jiang Yuan, not to mention Tang Feng, even Wan Baoming has called off the autopsy early on, so as not to waste the first opportunity for an autopsy.
Even Tang Feng himself felt no dissatisfaction or discomfort about it.
The Changyang Municipal Public Security Bureau and Jiang Yuan have cooperated countless times, and the Criminal Investigation Center has long since adapted to Jiang Yuan's style. Just like today, Tang Feng not only prepared the protective suit that Jiang Yuan likes, but also his favorite shower gel and shampoo.
In addition, three forensic assistants and two full-time videographers, one to take photos and one to film, are also standard equipment for Jiang Yuan's autopsies.
This number is not an exaggeration at all. In fact, even a regular forensic autopsy requires at least two people, and it is best to have three people working together. When conditions do not allow for this, it is common to bring in criminal police officers or others who come to help to the autopsy table.
If it is an expert-level forensic doctor, it is often not easy to handle. If the equipment is complete, it is common to have 3 forensic doctors or forensic assistants and a cameraman.
Jiang Yuan prefers to have two cameramen. One reason is that he has high standards for evidence, and taking photos while recording video is both effective and fast. Another reason is that he is already quite quick when performing autopsies, and having a dedicated cameraman means he doesn't have to wait for another cameraman when a scene needs to be filmed.
Tang Feng, a forensic doctor, and Wan Baoming from the Criminal Science Center both felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Yuan is too difficult to invite. Not only do we have to get past Huang Qiangmin, but we also have to schedule appointments. Now that we've finally managed to invite him, he wants to cooperate again in the future, so we naturally have to do our best to serve him well.
If Jiang Yuan hadn't refused, Wan Baoming would have loved to go into the changing room and bathe and change Jiang Yuan's clothes!
Three quarters past noon.
Jiang Yuan carefully examined the body of the deceased Zhang Jifeng three times, even checking between his toes, teeth, and genitals, before straightening up and saying to the forensic assistant who was taking notes: "Let's start with the general information: adult male corpse, normal development, good nutrition, height 167 cm, weight 62 kg... No needle marks on the body surface, intact skin, no damage, no infection, no obvious signs of violence, no signs of struggle..."
“This…” Tang Feng glanced at the camera, signaled it to stop, and then said, “Director Jiang, should we hold off on judging the signs of violent injury for now? After all, many signs cannot be seen on the current body.”
His words were very tactful; at first glance, it sounded like he was questioning Jiang Yuan's judgment, suggesting that the marks of violence were uncertain. In reality, everyone present knew that Tang Feng wanted Jiang Yuan to leave some room for maneuver.
You say there are no signs of violent assault now, but what if someone comes out with that statement later?
Surveillance isn't foolproof. There's always a possibility that one person might suddenly punch the other during a cross-court encounter, especially if it's a well-trained practitioner of Jeet Kune Do. In that case, Jiang Yuan's forensic report could easily be found to contain errors.
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then delete it. I'll talk to them privately later."
This thing is needed during the investigation phase anyway. When Jiang Yuan arrives at the case discussion meeting, he can even just make a phone call to explain it clearly.
Tang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Then please continue?"
“Then let’s be more specific. The head and face, the scalp is intact, the lips are cyanotic, and there are no bleeding points on the conjunctiva of the eyelids…” Jiang Yuan continued to describe the head and face, neck, and torso in that order.
Even Wan Baoming and others who were not familiar with forensic work understood that Jiang Yuan had done a very meticulous job.
Forensic medicine is a profession that requires meticulous attention to detail. An autopsy gives the examiner ample time to carefully observe, discover, and reflect on what happened in the final moments of the body, and what memorable things the deceased did in their life.
After thoroughly reviewing the surveillance footage, Jiang Yuan realized the difficulties in this case.
The deceased essentially died in front of the surveillance camera, which means there are two possibilities: either someone killed the deceased under the camera's view, or it was premeditated, and he was poisoned or killed by other means.
But regardless of the method, this can be considered a mysterious and deadly kill.
Considering that the victim fell to the ground first, if it were a murder case, the murderer would have needed to prepare extensively beforehand.
"The body cavity was examined."
Jiang Yuan carefully examined the patient's condition, then signaled the camera to follow. He picked up a scalpel and used a standard incision to open the chest and abdominal cavities.
No bleeding or edema was observed in the subcutaneous tissue or muscle layer.
"Abdominal fat thickness is normal... Stomach is a little large..."
As Jiang Yuan examined the body, he removed the deceased's internal organs.
Tang Feng helped weigh the internal organs and said, "Looking at the report, the deceased had a poor appetite before, so there should be some problem with his stomach. A CT scan was taken, but no problems were found."
"A prison hospital?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Yes. They only send people to civilian hospitals because the prison hospital can't handle it." Tang Feng had dealt with these kinds of cases before.
The prison hospital is quite large, with over 100 beds. Besides housing sick inmates, it also houses some ordinary criminal offenders. Of course, because the management pressure at the prison hospital is lower, serving a sentence there is much more comfortable, and the competition is fierce. In comparison, the competition for their medical technology is much weaker.
"The liver appears normal."
"The spleen has partially dissolved."
"The surfaces and cut surfaces of the small intestine, colon, and kidneys are normal. There is no fluid, pus, or food residue in the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum is smooth, and the transverse colon... um..."
Jiang Yuan paused his even movements for a moment, then beckoned the camera over and, while operating it, instructed it to start filming his abdominal cavity.
……
Prison office building.
A group of people closed the door to review the case files, taking out all the files of the deceased Zhang Jifeng's case and the transcripts of the investigators in the past two days, and allowing the members of the special investigation team to read them.
These written records are numerous, representing the result of two days of tireless work by dozens of people.
Liu Jinghui and others divided into groups and read them separately.
However, the first book to be read was the one with lingering warmth, which remained silent.
Moreover, he read through all the documents before speaking, "This Zhang Jifeng was involved in fraud involving tens of millions, the largest being 620 million. He also has a way of courting death."
Liu Jinghui had heard that Yu Wenshu had a photographic memory, so he first asked, "You've read all of this? You've memorized it all?"
"I just jotted down a few parts. It would take some effort to remember everything. I just skimmed through it quickly, so I didn't remember it very clearly... Of course, I've memorized the main structure. If you want to ask me anything, I can help you search for it, and it will be faster..." Yu Wenshu appeared very calm, but he said a lot.
"Then...who are the possible people who killed Zhang Jifeng?" Liu Jinghui was using Yu Wenshu like an AI.
"Are you asking about the victims of the fraud case?" Yu Wenshu shook his head with a smile: "I can't tell, but I can make a list according to the amount of money defrauded, or according to the proportion of the property defrauded."
"Could someone have been scammed after taking out a loan?"
"Yes. It would be great if the percentage of people who were scammed exceeded 100%. If that's the case, the highest percentage of people who were scammed must be tens of thousands."
"So you don't have any assets?"
"almost."
“This kind of thing is actually less likely to kill someone,” Liu Jinghui said with a sigh. “As far as I remember, Zhang Jifeng’s case involved other accomplices. Even if it’s revenge, there’s no need to target just him. Besides, do the victims of these fraud cases have the ability to hire someone to kill? You could say they might kill someone if they were driven to desperation, but such a meticulous plan of murder, even if they were scammed, it couldn’t be such a simple fundraising scam.”
Yu Wenshu nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
Prosecutor Lin Qingshan chimed in at the opportune moment, saying, "A person who can be defrauded of 620 million yuan wouldn't be willing to risk their own life to kill him, unless they can get the money back."
"If we consider the motive, who else would have the need to kill him?" Yu Wenshu asked.
Liu Jinghui's eyes hardened: "If that's the case, Zhang Jifeng's gang can swindle tens or hundreds of millions of yuan from people into investing. This must not be the first time they've done this, right? Does Zhang Jifeng have a criminal record? If so, are there any enemies of Zhang Jifeng in his previous cases?"
