In an instant, the attention of everyone in the conference room focused.

Some genuinely wanted to hear what Jiang An had to say next.

However, most were just there for the spectacle.

They were curious to see what kind of high opinion this young-looking crime investigation expert could offer.

Jiang An glanced at Mr. Zhao.

"Please, Mr. Zhao, open the scene investigation photo folder."

"It might be more intuitive if we speak while looking at the photos."

Immediately, Mr. Zhao moved the mouse and clicked open the scene investigation photo folder.

"Mr. Jiang, there are many photos in this folder. Which one should we open?"

"First, open the photos of the two deceased lying on the ground!"

Mr. Zhao nodded, searching for the photos of the two deceased.

Soon, he clicked and magnified the male victim's photo first.

On the projection screen, an elderly person with gray hair could be seen lying in the living room.

Jiang An looked up and said in a deep voice, "This male victim is lying on his side on the living room floor, wearing only a vest and underpants."

"This fully suggests that the crime occurred after the victim had gone to bed to rest.

The participants had no reaction after hearing Jiang An's first conclusion.

Inferring sleep time from the victim's attire does not require a complicated reasoning process.

Anyone who has worked in forensic scene examination could understand the logic behind it.

Then, Jiang An continued, "The male victim was in his seventies, appeared very thin, essentially skin and bones."

"We see this victim wearing only a vest and underpants, with most of his skin exposed."

"From a forensic perspective, with such a body type, any external force on the skin is likely to cause noticeable subcutaneous bleeding, possibly even local fractures."

"Moreover, the victim fell in a rural house, where the floor is rough and uneven."

"Why then, with the male victim, are there only rib fractures and no visible injuries elsewhere on the body?"

Jiang An merely posed his question without providing an immediate answer.

After a slight pause, Jiang An continued, "Please, Mr. Zhao, open the photo of the female victim's location."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhao moved the mouse and opened another photo.

Instantly, the scene of a bedroom appeared on the projector screen.

An elderly woman lay on the floor, her gray hair stained with a large amount of blood.

Her T-shirt and pajama pants also showed traces of blood.

Jiang An looked up again and said in a deep voice, "From this photo, I believe the head injury occurred while the victim was in an upright position."

While speaking, Jiang An emphasized the words "upright position."

The attending officers turned to look at the photo on the screen.

They found Jiang An's perspective somewhat novel.

Li Hongbing, the deputy director sitting next to Jiang An, suddenly brightened at this.

He remembered that during the initial investigation of the case, two forensic experts from Han City suggested the victim was struck on the head with a blunt object, causing death.

As for the blow's location, it might have occurred after the victim had fallen.

However, Zhang An proposed that the female victim was struck and killed while in an upright position.

These two viewpoints have a fundamental difference.

Li Hongbing glanced at the images projected on the screen but did not immediately voice his inquiries.

Moments later, Li Hongbing said, "Mr. Jiang, could you explain more in detail?"

Jiang An nodded, responding, "Mr. Li, gentlemen."

"The head is located high on the human body. If we are in an upright position, any scalp bleeding will drip downward."

"Of course, aside from seeing dripping bloodstains on the clothes, you might also spot scattered droplets on the ground."

"Mainly because when the body is attacked, it instinctively dodges and resists, and during the vigorous head movement, an umbrella-like pattern of blood spatters may form."

Jiang An continued, "However, in this projected photo, the bloodstains on the ground aren't evident."

"I believe it's necessary to revisit the scene for further examination, focusing on finding the ground bloodstains."

After a pause, Jiang An said, "On this female body, the same features apparent on the male victim can still be observed."

"Besides the head injury, there are no visible injuries on other parts of the victim's body."

"I find this to be particularly odd."

"I don't believe that during a struggle, an assailant could selectively strike."

"Moreover, in my view, the elderly would have limited ability to resist. Why then are there so few injuries on their bodies?"

"As for the underlying reasons, I believe further exploration is necessary."

Jiang An then summarized, "This is what I see as an aspect that warrants our focused attention, the peculiar nature of the injuries on both victims."

After finishing this aspect, Jiang An asked, "Mr. Zhao, has the victims' home been thoroughly ransacked?"

Mr. Zhao nodded.

"At the time, we conducted a comprehensive scene investigation and found no other money, gold, silver jewelry, or other valuables."

"Where were the belongings of the elderly couple stored in the house?"

Mr. Zhao recalled.

"Because the two of them lived alone for a long time and did not live with their children,"

"no one knows the specific storage location of their valuables."
