After Jiang Yuan reached the conclusion of Marfan syndrome, he continued to perform the autopsy slowly and meticulously.

It was not easy to perform an autopsy in a different place. It would be best to finish it in one go after thawing, otherwise it would be more troublesome to freeze and thaw again. Moreover, conducting a second or third autopsy would increase the difficulty for oneself and the people following. Because the forensic pathologist conducting the second or third autopsy would have to determine whether the additional injuries were caused by the case itself or by the previous forensic pathologist.

On the other hand, identifying the body was one thing, but he also wanted to find more evidence.

He really hoped that his office location could be more fixed.

By the afternoon, Li Zhen, the forensic pathologist from Langgu County, couldn't hold on any longer. He leaned on the dissecting table with his hand and rested his body against it, trying to take a break.

Jiang Yuan looked at the slightly cloudy liquid that had soaked the body, wetting his clothes. After soaking, it dripped down.

"Professor Li, your clothes are wet." Jiang Yuan had to remind him, and rinsed his feet with water.

Li Zhen stood up a little absentmindedly and waved his hand, saying, "I'm getting old. I didn't take a nap after lunch, and I'm really sleepy. I'll wash my face in a while."

Given the current environment, it was difficult to even wash his face. Of course, the sleepiness was also severe in such a terrible environment.

Jiang Yuan didn't know what to say and just said, "I'll speed up so that we can finish as soon as possible."

"That would be best." Li Zhen said and added, "Actually, it should be enough to find the identity of the body."

"Yeah, relying solely on the identity of the body might not solve the case." Jiang Yuan didn't agree with him this time and said, "The killer is likely a random murderer."

"Random murder is more troublesome."

"Indeed."

At this point, the autopsy room became much quieter.

Although they said they would finish as soon as possible, it took another hour to complete.

Li Zhen went to call the part-time technician from the funeral home to help. The three of them worked together to put the body back into the ice coffin, and then cleaned the dissecting table and the floor.

The strong smell gradually dissipated. Jiang Yuan looked at Li Zhen's clothes and said, "Your clothes will be troublesome to wash."

"It's fine." Li Zhen said, blinked his eyes, and said, "Actually, let me teach you a trick from my secret book."

"Secret book?"

"For clothes like these, don't rush to wash them when you get back. It's best to let them air out for a day before washing." Li Zhen pulled his surgical gown and smiled, "This way, you can eliminate the odor to the greatest extent."

"Oh, really?" Jiang Yuan was surprised.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "There's nothing I can teach you in terms of autopsy, so I'll give you a trick from my secret book."

After Li Zhen finished speaking, he felt satisfied and felt that he had regained the demeanor of an old forensic pathologist. He happily went to take a shower.

Beautiful romance

After Jiang Yuan finished tidying up, he returned to the inn and smelled a familiar chicken soup aroma.

"Jiang Yuan is back. Perfect timing to have chicken." Liu Jinghui came out of the kitchen at the other end of the courtyard, warmly greeting Jiang Yuan.

"And a rooster?" Jiang Yuan was surprised. Shouldn't normal people buy something else to eat?

Liu Jinghui seemed to have guessed it and smiled, "There are other things too, but chicken has its own fragrance. I also bought chili peppers. This time, I'll make spicy chicken. It's delicious. Old Liu and the others only know how to make this now."

The inn consisted of a four-story building and a two-story building surrounding the courtyard. Following Liu Jinghui out of the kitchen were several technicians who had come together. They had established friendship during the journey and honed their skills in stewing rooster. Now they were all showing their skills.

"And, I also bought a hen this time, an old hen specifically for making soup. It has been simmering for four or five hours." Liu Jinghui's proud smile was mixed with exhaustion.

Jiang Yuan politely sat down, politely drank some soup, and politely asked, "Have you found out who the victim is?"

"We found out." Liu Jinghui's expression became more serious. He sat down opposite Jiang Yuan and said, "The victim's name is Su Qin. She is from another province and has Marfan syndrome, so she has the habit of participating in sports and likes mountaineering. However, she is relatively lonely in terms of interpersonal relationships. Her immediate relatives are all gone. Her mother has passed away, and her father has remarried and has no contact with her. It was her cousin who reported her missing."

"Another mountaineer?" Jiang Yuan shook his head and asked again, "What about her child? She has given birth before."

"She divorced her ex-husband, and the child is with him. They have almost no contact and are not in the same city." Liu Jinghui paused and said, "Another important clue is that Su Qin didn't come here alone."

"Did her companion go back?"

"No, it was her companion who reported her missing, and then her cousin was notified."

"No one knows that they came to Wulongsan?"

"They registered locally, so they should have only done the registration.""What about later? They should be able to check the phone records, right?"

"They only traced it to Pingzhou. The family reported it later." Liu Jinghui didn't say much, obviously not delving into the inquiry.

Jiang Yuan hummed in agreement. With more experience, one would realize that most cases, once solved, are simply solved. Those that can't be solved are due to various inconveniences, misfortunes, and inappropriateness. Every case always involves some coincidences and inevitabilities.

This feeling is like having a particularly unlucky day, where everything goes wrong from the moment you wake up. And on a particularly lucky day, everything goes smoothly.

Of course, as a criminal investigator, you don't need to be lucky all the time. As long as you're lucky at the crucial moment, the case can be solved.

As for criminals, they can be lucky once or twice, even for a year or two, but as soon as they're unlucky once, they're in trouble.

However, like most cases, someone must have been playing tricks in this case, but Liu Jinghui wouldn't say it, and Jiang Yuan didn't bother to ask.

Most people in this world spend most of their time playing tricks, including Su Qin's family, her cousin, her ex-husband, they all played tricks as family members.

"What's the situation with the companion?" Jiang Yuan asked further.

Liu Jinghui pursed his lips and said, "Sun Jingyi. That's her name. She also has a history of divorce and a child, but her family is closer. They probably reported her missing three days after she disappeared. Logically, the two of them should have met with misfortune together."

"Hmm." Based on the current information, there are probably many unjustly killed ghosts in Wulong Mountain.

"What should we do next?" Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Jinghui.

The case was becoming clearer at this point. If they were in the criminal investigation team, it would be time to determine the direction of the investigation. They could choose to stake out, investigate, or conduct a broader investigation.

However, none of these methods could be said to be foolproof, and there were certain risks involved.

For example, staking out the old hunting trail would mean blocking this group of people who are still coming and going, but this is just a guess, not a certainty. If the other party stops using this road, or only uses it once every few months, a lot of people would be wasted.

Furthermore, if they really did stake out this group of desperadoes, wouldn't they have to fight a jungle war with them? Regardless of the firepower of these people or the complexity of the Wulong Mountain jungle, as police officers, their first priority is peaceful arrest.

Liu Jinghui had obviously thought about this. He skipped the potentially life-threatening options and said, "I plan to organize a search team, starting from where Su Qin's body was found, heading towards the old hunting trail, to see if we can find more bodies or body parts. Also, Su Qin and her companion were out as hikers, their equipment, food, etc., I suspect may have been taken and used, maybe we can look for that."

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement. Although investigation is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task with a low cost-effectiveness ratio, at this stage of the case, investigation is a relatively reliable option.

At this point, Jiang Yuan understood why Liu Jinghui was so calmly drinking chicken soup. Organizing a larger, somewhat professional search team within a day was definitely not feasible.

In fact, they waited for three days before Pingzhou organized a search team. Together with the civilian search team from Shannan Province waiting in Langgu County, they slowly advanced into Wulong Mountain.

Liu Jinghui, Jiang Yuan, and the others followed the team from Pingzhou, bringing with them ample supplies.
