Chapter 898: Judging the Crime Scene

This suggestion was more or less recognized by everyone.

Because at the crime scene, the killer arranged Wang Jingya’s personal items, including her ID, phone, jewelry, etc., quite neatly on the edge of the brick bed in the inner room.

Lined up sequentially, it clearly couldn’t have been left behind carelessly.

After Song Mingguang finished speaking, Li Donglin looked around. Nobody spoke, so he turned and asked Lu Chuan, "Lu, do you have any recommendations here?"

"Director Li, I request a second autopsy on the body, and for the crime scene, I want to conduct trace evidence testing."

Lu Chuan’s view on the case was straightforward, he didn’t engage in reasoning. Although among all, Lu Chuan arrived first and personally heard Wang Chuanmin and crime scene investigation officer Zhao Zhigao introduce the case, so he had a fairly clear understanding of the case development.

But what the others just said was already comprehensive.

Moreover, the Criminal Investigation Team in Tianzhou City actually did a very detailed and substantial amount of work.

Especially concerning the investigation of people related to Wang Jingya’s interpersonal relationships, Wang Chuanmin actually mentioned only a portion.

From this point of view, Lu Chuan actually rather agreed with Song Mingguang’s perspective.

Wang Jingya wasn’t a local, she had no relatives in Tianzhou City except for a few colleagues at the model studio, and there weren’t many people she knew well.

Of course, the familiar people Lu Chuan talked about meant real friends or family.

And people like Chen Yang and Qin Xiaohui, Wang Jingya was quite acquainted with in Tianzhou City.

However, the connections among these people were relatively loose.

Wang Jingya also didn’t go to work at the model studio every day.

Hence, if the murderer employed methods to destroy evidence, the police would really be unable to ascertain Wang Jingya’s identity in a short time.

Because from the current investigation, even if Wang Jingya disappeared, it wouldn’t be immediately reported.

Take for instance the day she went missing, Chen Yang called her twice, but merely assumed she stood him up and didn’t take further action.

Of course, Wang Song’s reasoning, Lu Chuan didn’t think it lacked logic.

Wang Jingya’s murder couldn’t possibly be unprovoked.

What exactly was the relationship between the killer and Wang Jingya? Although it’s difficult to judge now, Wang Song’s method is akin to conducting a cross-examination.

Although the workload seems fairly large now, it’s indeed a method to break through the existing situation.

And Lu Chuan here is most interested still in the crime scene and Wang Jingya’s body.

"Director Li, upon arriving in Tianzhou City, I listened to Director Zhao Zhigao’s detailed introduction of the crime scene investigation situation."

Lu Chuan raised some views about the scene.

"The killer painstakingly handled the traces at the crime scene, leaving no fingerprints, footprints, bloodstains, or other conventional clues."

"However, this doesn’t mean the killer left nothing, my suggestion is to conduct a detailed trace evidence collection and analysis at the site."

Li Donglin nodded.

Lu Chuan is best at on-site crime scene investigation.

During the investigation of past cases, Lu Chuan’s crime scene investigation often provided the Zhong’an Group with unexpected valuable clues.

Despite the Tiandu City investigators finding no significant directional clues at the crime scene, it doesn’t mean Lu Chuan couldn’t uncover anything.

"As for the body, what is your consideration?"

After Li Donglin’s question, Lu Chuan continued to answer: "Director Li, this is also a point I’m focusing on."

Indeed, it was a point of confusion for Lu Chuan.

"President Xue from iQiyi, you mentioned the forensic doctors’ determination that the cause of death was carotid artery rupture leading to excessive blood loss, resulting in death through blood loss."

This point can essentially be confirmed; besides the chest area, there are no other injuries on the victim.

And regarding the chest wound, the forensic conclusion is the victim was cooked and then manually torn open by the murderer.

After which, the murderer extracted the heart from within.

"The question is, why did the killer use such methods to kill?"

Lu Chuan has solved many murder cases.

Encountered quite a few murder methods.

But this sort of simple bloodletting murder, this is the first one.

"Under normal circumstances, if the carotid artery is pierced, there would be a massive blood spray, but the Criminal Investigation Team in Tianzhou City reported no blood found at the crime scene."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Zhigao, who confirmed with a nod: "This can be confirmed, we conducted extensive reagent tests, no bloodstains."

"It’s not that the murderer dealt with the bloodstains, leaving none, rather it’s a fact that there really were no bloodstains left."

Lu Chuan definitely doesn’t doubt the crime scene investigative capabilities of Tianzhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.

On the contrary, Lu Chuan quite accepted the level of Zhao Zhigao and his team.

"But there’s an issue, acknowledging carotid artery perforation leading to blood loss, how did the killer stop the blood from spraying?"

"Therefore, I personally suspect... Is West Family Valley Village in Beiwang Town truly the primary crime scene?"

Bang!

Lu Chuan’s words shocked everyone!

Especially the investigative personnel from the Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Team.

The primary crime scene?

Wang Chuanmin also furrowed his brows.

The Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Team truly hadn’t considered this point.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, the murderer had meticulously cleaned the crime scene, if this weren’t the primary crime scene, the murderer wouldn’t have done such detailed work.

The second reason is the blood.

Blood wasn’t absent at the crime scene; it’s just there were no bloodstains, the blood was in the pot, all had been cooked.

Plus, all victim’s belongings were inside at the crime scene.

This instinctively led all investigators to believe this is the primary crime scene.

Li Donglin was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to have this judgment.

But what Lu Chuan said made sense, Li Donglin and others have also handled similar cases.

So, everyone understood what kind of blood spray reaction occurred when a person’s carotid artery was pierced.

"Is it possible... the killer used something to obstruct? Like plastic sheets or similar items."

An officer from the Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Team raised a question: "If done meticulously, the bloodstains shouldn’t possibly spray outward."

Yet, Lu Chuan shook his head.

"Of course there’s such a possibility, but I don’t feel this possibility is very likely."

Lu Chuan continued to explain the reason: "Because the killer dealt primarily with cleaning the traces they left at the scene, and when they killed Wang Jingya, the blood spray would solely be from Wang Jingya, if the killer wasn’t wounded, there would be no residual bloodstains from them."

"So why would the killer use a plastic sheet to cover the bloodstain marks? It makes no sense."
