"Grandma, did you notice anyone suspicious around there at the time?" Wang Shen asked again, seeing the old woman's regretful expression.
The old man thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "Officer, as you know, at that time, besides the community cleaners and security guards, it was just us old folks around. There wasn't much else around at the time."
After listening to the old woman's words, Wang Shen pondered for a moment, then smiled at her and said, "Grandma, thank you so much for your cooperation."
"You're welcome. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me." The old woman smiled and waved her hand, chuckling twice.
After thanking the police officers, Wang Shen turned and walked towards them, asking, "When will the forensic doctor arrive?"
The police officer standing next to Wang Shen was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Shen's words, and then timidly replied, "I'll come and notify them right away."
Wang Shen frowned slightly, glanced at the police officer beside him, and said nothing more. He walked back into the crowd and then out again, leaving the crime scene. Wang Shen walked to the entrance of the apartment building and glanced at the surveillance camera hanging there.
"Zichen, come here for a second." Wang Shen waved to Liang Zichen, who was standing not far away.
"Captain Wang, what's the matter?" Liang Zichen jogged over to Wang Shen's side.
"Zichen, go to the community's surveillance room and check the surveillance footage for this building. Call the property management staff with you; they can identify which are residents and which are strangers. Then, investigate all the strangers who have come back since Han Lin returned." Wang Shen instructed Liang Zichen while keeping his eyes on the overhead monitor.
"Captain Wang, do you think Han Lin didn't commit suicide?" Liang Zichen asked after listening to Wang Shen's words.
“I’ve met Han Lin a few times before, and from my observation, he’s someone who values his life. Even if he’s guilty of murdering A-Cheng, it wouldn’t necessarily put his life in danger. So, I don’t think he would willingly end his own life. But we haven’t started the investigation yet, and everything is just my speculation. Anyway, let’s get some work done first. Thanks for your hard work.” Wang Shen patted Liang Zichen on the shoulder before returning to the crime scene.
Liang Zichen nodded and went to check the surveillance footage as Wang Shen instructed.
After waiting at the crime scene for more than ten minutes, a car pulled up behind Wang Shen's vehicle. Wang Shen recognized the person who got out of the car. The man got out, came to Wang Shen's side, shook hands with him, and smiled, saying, "Officer Wang, it's nice to see you again. I look forward to working with you in the future."
"Dr. Wu, you?" Wang Shen looked at Wu Yi standing in front of him with a slightly surprised expression.
"You don't know this, do you? I majored in forensic medicine in college, but I ended up working in clinical medicine by accident. The forensic doctor who was originally employed by your bureau retired, so I've been filling in for him part-time for the time being. Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you. Cheng's condition is gradually improving, and there shouldn't be any major problems." As Cheng's attending physician, Wu Yi was overjoyed to see his patient recovering.
"I feel much more at ease with you here." Wang Shen smiled and patted Wu Yi's arm.
“Alright, let’s go check on the deceased first.” With that, Wang Shen nodded and led Wu Yi through the crowd to Han Lin’s body. Wu Yi had already put on gloves and gently turned Han Lin’s face towards him. Wu Yi observed Han Lin’s facial features for a while, then touched Han Lin’s neck a few times. Wu Yi moved two steps from his original position, standing behind Han Lin’s head, and after touching the back of Han Lin’s head, nodded and stood up.
"Han Lin fell from a height, and his head should have hit the ground first. His head was clearly broken, and his neck had a significant fracture. In addition, his internal organs were also violently impacted upon impact, causing some organs to rupture. That's why there is still blood coming out of his mouth." Wu Yi explained the cause of Han Lin's death after examining his body.
Wu Yi stood up from the ground, looked at Wang Shen, and added, "Have your people marked the scene and the location where the deceased fell?"
"Dr. Wu, you seem to know a lot about criminal investigations," Wang Shen joked, nodding as he spoke.
"I wouldn't say I know them very well, but I've only seen them in TV dramas." Wu Yi is generally cold to strangers, but he's much nicer to people he knows well and thinks are excellent. At this moment, Wu Yi even started joking with Wang Shen.
After seeing Wang Shen nod, Wu Yi glanced at the two police officers standing beside him and said, "Could you two officers please move the body a bit for me?"
Upon hearing Wu Yi's words, the two police officers glanced at Wang Shen and immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"
Han Lin's body was moved. Wu Yi stood around Han Lin's body, squatted down again, and pointed to the shallow crater Han Lin had made, saying, "Officer Wang, look, Han Lin fell right onto this patch of grass. Judging from the depth of the crater, the fall must have been quite high. Based on my preliminary examination of the body, we can roughly conclude that he died from a fall." With that, Wu Yi stood up again.
"I didn't know Dr. Wu was also interested in physics." Wang Shen nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"How can you get into medical school if you're bad at physics?" Wu replied confidently.
“However,” Wu Yi changed the subject, frowning slightly, “the accurate autopsy results will only be available after I conduct a detailed examination of the body using modern instruments.”
Wang Shen's smile also disappeared, and he nodded with a slight frown as he looked at Han Lin's corpse on the ground.
"Officer Wang, everything should be fine here. I'll have someone come and take the body back to the forensic center later. I'll let you know once I have the detailed autopsy report."
Upon hearing Wu Yi's words, Wang Shen nodded and thanked him. Then, Wu Yi turned and left the crime scene.
"Leave one person here to watch the scene, the rest of you come with me to the deceased's home." After saying that, Wang Shen led the way.
After walking for a while, a curious policeman approached Wang Shen and asked, "Captain Wang, how did you know which household the deceased lived in?"
"Hmm." Wang Shen didn't answer further, only responding with a heavy tone. Seeing the solemn expression on Wang Shen's face, the police officer didn't press the matter further.
Han Lin's apartment was on the top tenth floor of this building. Within minutes, Wang Shen and two police officers stood at Han Lin's door. At that moment, one of the officers, in his haste, reached for the doorknob. Seeing this, Wang Shen immediately stopped the officer's rash action.
The police officer was startled and looked at Wang Shen with a puzzled expression.
