National Forensic Doctor

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1294: Confirmed Death

"Kadar Stava is confirmed dead." Mu Zhiyang protected Jiang Yuan as they entered, while Shen Yaowei, who had entered first, turned back to report.

"It’s fine if he’s dead." Jiang Yuan responded with a "hmm".

Although Steva committed patricide, murder, robbery, and kidnapping and committed multiple homicides, he was a minor, which in the modern legal system, could potentially allow him to survive.

Jiang Yuan and others, including Ni Cha, unanimously believed there was no need to take such a risk.

The lengthy trial process would inevitably be extremely slow due to the death penalty and multiple homicides, as each case would need to be tried one by one, requiring evidence presentation, and so on.

For the police and prosecution, regardless of how many homicide cases were handled, not a single one could be relaxed, especially in high-profile cases like these, which often have famous lawyers or those aspiring to become famous providing free or semi-free legal services, thereby scrutinizing every piece of evidence provided by the police with a magnifying glass.

And if any piece of evidence in any case is questioned, the overall progress would halt, resulting in numerous death-row inmates living several decades longer.

Additionally, due to Kadar Stava’s surname, it’s possible that Counselor Stewa’s old connections or rivals might interfere. On the other hand, Kadar sitting among three hostages, clutching a handgun, was indeed a real danger. Given these factors, the command post considered the best solution was to shoot the armed kidnapper Kadar dead on the spot.

This only slightly complicated the on-site investigation, but it was still less troublesome than the hassle brought on by journalists.

Jiang Yuan frowned as he glanced at the nearby group of reporters. This was the request of the Dama Police Station, and he wasn’t in a position to comment. In fact, there was initially no need for him to conduct the site investigation because all the culprits were apprehended; without the need for investigation, Dama Police Station had technicians who could replace Jiang Yuan.

"You are God Jiang Yuan, right?" The reporters had astonishingly good memories and immediately recalled him upon noticing his gaze.

Of course, Jiang Yuan’s features were distinctive enough. Standing next to 1.82-meter-tall Ismail, he was a head taller, unmistakably recognizable.

Mu Zhiyang adjusted his step and stood between the reporters and Jiang Yuan.

"I’ve interviewed you before, you might remember me, I am..." The reporter hastily introduced himself. noveldrama

Jiang Yuan couldn’t remember, just waved his hand and said, "Not now, sorry, I have to inspect the site first."

"Then I’ll take a video of you." The reporter gestured for the camera to come closer as he spoke.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at Ni Cha and Zhong Renlong.

"Just carry on with your regular work." Ni Cha did not explain publicly.

Asia has its own customs, of which Jiang Yuan was not surprised and simply nodded. He then proceeded to ask the three victims some questions, ensuring there were no unexpected incidents before turning back to examine the corpse.

A small pool of blood had spread on the ground in front of the window.

The peeled skull resembled a peeled coconut shell, fragmented but still intact. Viewed from the other side, the hairy skull appeared somewhat terrifying.

The brain inside the skull was exposed, with patterns resembling pig brains at a hot pot restaurant, and because of the bullet’s scorching, this brain had a slightly Japanese appearance.

Jiang Yuan scrutinized Kadar’s face carefully.

This is the most crucial step. Although the sniper confirmed before firing, the forensic doctor still plays a key role in identification—after all, forensic doctors are most suited for dating identical twins!

Kadar’s face no longer showed any signs of innocence.

Personal experiences change one’s appearance, especially drastic changes like patricide and murder and fleeing. The hormones crazily secreted during such events would ultimately cause a person to mature completely, often in a direction contrary to what he might have wished.

To Jiang Yuan, Kadar Stava bore a slight resemblance to the photo of Counselor Steva.

His dead appearance also resembled.

"Prepare the body for transport." After the photos were taken, Jiang Yuan flipped the corpse over and instructed for it to be bagged.

A culprit shot by a sniper doesn’t require as meticulous an autopsy as in a murder case.

The reporter on the scene held their breath, waiting for Jiang Yuan to send off the corpse before quickly asking, "God Jiang, did you lead the investigation of this case?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan didn’t have the slightest intention of being humble. He indeed led the investigation, and if Ni Cha had any objections, he should first talk to Huang Qiangmin.

The reporter’s eyes brightened as he quickly continued, "God Jiang, you—"

Several people carried the body bag out, and Jiang Yuan did another circuit on the ground floor before going upstairs.

If this were the case, evidence for kidnapping and injury would need a focus on extraction, including evidence of forced entry with a crowbar, to ensure the subsequent inquiries and trial proceed smoothly. Now, it could also be entrusted to others to handle.

Jiang Yuan walked back and forth for half an hour, ensured there were no oversights, then exited to check the vehicle before finally departing by helicopter.

The helicopter had already been summoned, so not using it would be a waste.

After Jiang Yuan and others left, Zhong Renlong followed suit, and Ni Cha remained at the scene, smiling and gazing up at the helicopter, breathing cold air.

In the end, today’s expenses weren’t overly outrageous. After all, the case was solved!

With the case solved, reviewing those expenses doesn’t seem unacceptable. However, everything is relative, and Ni Cha thought about the expenses of the cases he had handled before, which invariably made him itchy all over. It was even harder to imagine what consequences they would face if this case had not been solved.

The distance of several hundred kilometers was just right for the helicopter’s range.

Zhong Renlong received several phone calls along the way, then escorted Jiang Yuan to meet with police higher-ups and various levels of politicians after landing.

Local media in Dama had already swarmed in, interviewing a group of leaders until their eyes sparkled with excitement.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, the chief immediately hugged him, smiling as he introduced him to everyone, "Jiang Yuan is the god of criminal investigation from China, and he is one of the Datuks I recommended this year. Although Mr. Jiang Yuan is young, he has continuously solved extraordinary cases in both China and Dama. Several well-known cases, such as the previous serial rape case, were overseen by Officer Jiang Yuan."

At this time, the chief didn’t regard Ni Cha as a person.

Jiang Yuan accompanied them with a smile, meanwhile, Chu Guanliang, the liaison officer for Chinese police affairs in Dama, and people like Cui Xiaohu dispatched by the ministry also began to appear one after another.

Putting aside the suffering of the victims, the investigation of a highly-publicized criminal case is like a grand media carnival, especially in election-based countries, where no one can resist such a pool of attention.

Soon, Jiang Yuan met with many prominent figures, who all showcased their amiable, approachable side before the cameras, appearing as if they were admiring a pure golden statue when looking at Jiang Yuan.

Smiles, flashlights, more smiles, and dances, followed by more flashlights in the night, where the chief hugged Jiang Yuan and said, with a voice tinted with the smell of alcohol, "Pack up tomorrow and come to be a Datuk."
