Chapter 904: Chapter 904

"The cause of his death was not being run over by a car," Ding Fan said calmly.

Although Ding Fan's tone was calm, everyone present looked at each other in disbelief.

Xu Rui, standing nearby, also looked at Ding Fan with a face full of confusion.

Ding Fan continued, "You can now extract the patient's bone marrow to determine the time of death. The child was already dead before being run over by the car."

Ding Fan, who often reads many medical books from Earth, explained that after a person dies, even if you can create some illusions to cover up the time of death, the bone marrow cannot be falsified. Human bone marrow can clearly record the time of death.

The main reason Ding Fan determined that the person in front of them had already died before the car accident was that he used Divine Sense to examine the person's bone marrow.

Determining the time of death using bone marrow is something Ding Fan learned while on Earth.

"You... you're obviously trying to exonerate Xu Rui. There's no medical equipment here to do experiments. You just want to take my son back and secretly deal with it. Do you think we don't know your rich people's tricks?"

At this point, the man in the couple stood up and said to Ding Fan defiantly.

Ding Fan snorted lightly, "Fine, then let's not use the time of death to determine it."

As Ding Fan said this, he turned to the forensic doctor nearby and said, "Forensic doctor, take off the deceased's clothes now and see if there's anything under the right armpit."

Everyone present didn't understand what Ding Fan was trying to do. The cameras didn't stop filming Ding Fan for a moment.

The forensic doctor knew Ding Fan was from the Three Five Six Seven Group. For someone from a central department, someone like the forensic doctor wouldn't dare not comply.

So, the forensic doctor meticulously and honestly did as Ding Fan instructed, checking under the boy's right armpit.

By this time, the boy had been dead for a long time, and his body was somewhat stiff. It took the forensic doctor quite some effort to pry his arm open.

"Eh? There's actually a needle hole here?" The forensic doctor quickly spotted the needle hole.

Ding Fan continued, "The deceased was injected with air ten seconds before death, causing his death. So after the body stiffened, the needle hole hadn't shrunk."

Some people close to the body also saw the needle hole. It was indeed larger than a usual needle hole.

"There really is a needle hole."

"It seems like there's really something fishy about this..."

Listening to the surrounding opinions gradually leaning towards her, Xu Rui looked at Ding Fan gratefully.

Ding Fan continued, "It seems that the person who injected the air was quite calculating. After death, the body hardens, and the armpit is basically impossible to find. So they chose to inject air under the armpit."

At this point, the forensic doctor conducted a thorough investigation and quickly confirmed some clues that supported Ding Fan's earlier statement.

"I just examined the deceased. He did die of cardiac arrest. And judging from the needle hole under the armpit, it seems the deceased was indeed injected with air before death..."

After the forensic doctor said this, everyone present was in an uproar.

"Holy, this guy is Sherlock Holmes, isn't he? He analyzed everything correctly."

"Amazing, determining the cause of death just by observation. Impressive..."

Even the forensic doctor looked at Ding Fan with admiration.

Ding Fan suddenly looked at the couple claiming to be the child's parents, "I now somewhat suspect your identity. If you were the child's biological parents, you wouldn't be so cruel to your child."

The couple panicked when Ding Fan suddenly targeted them.

These two were usually good at scams, but when faced with a meticulous person like Ding Fan, they really had no way out.

"We... we have nothing to do with this."

Ding Fan snorted lightly, "Whether you have anything to do with it isn't up to you to decide now."

Ding Fan then turned to the forensic doctor, "Help me contact your superiors and arrest this couple."

The forensic doctor, of course, didn't dare to defy Ding Fan and immediately called to communicate.

"We really have nothing to do with this. If you're going to arrest someone, arrest someone else..." The woman suddenly sat on the ground and started crying.

The man, although behaving better than the woman, was also limited in what he could do.

Ding Fan ignored the couple, rubbing his nose and saying lightly, "You two could even harm your own flesh and blood. You really deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell."

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and four police officers walked directly through the crowd.

"This couple is suspected of murder; take them to the police station," Ding Fan said calmly.

However, before Ding Fan could finish speaking, the couple panicked upon seeing the police.

"We didn't kill the child. We just took some money to act. We have nothing to do with the murder. Please don't arrest us..." The woman was the first to crumble and knelt down, speaking to Ding Fan and several police officers.

"Yes, we're just acting. We just love money," the man also knelt, speaking directly.

The couple's behavior was fully captured by the TV station's camera beside Ding Fan.

"Acting?" Ding Fan glanced at the two and said lightly, "If it's acting, then is this child yours?"

Before the man could speak, the woman shook her head and cried, "We don't even know the child. We didn't kill the child."

"Then who killed the child?" Ding Fan asked forcefully.

"The child... the child... we don't know either..." The couple dared not continue at the critical moment.

Ding Fan understood that the energy behind the scenes was too great, and these two probably didn't dare to offend them directly.

There was no point in continuing this stalemate, so Ding Fan gestured to the police officers, who immediately took the couple away without further ado.

At this time, the female reporter following Ding Fan was overjoyed.

Ding Fan's reasoning was too brilliant. It was interconnected...

The female reporter was very grateful for being able to cover this. The news of Ding Fan's real-time reasoning, once aired, would surely be a hit, and getting such valuable news surely meant a promotion and a raise in the future.

And the person most grateful to Ding Fan was Xu Rui.

If Ding Fan hadn't stood up and helped, no one would have thought of the needle hole under the armpit, and everyone would think the boy was run over by her.

The matter would have turned into chaos, and not only Xu Rui, but even her father, Xu Guanjie, would have been implicated.

Simply put, without Ding Fan, Xu Rui would have been doomed...

At this moment, Qin Manshu looked at Ding Fan, full of adoration. Ding Fan's performance was too cool.

Having someone like him as a boyfriend, nothing in the world could be more satisfying.

Though Xu Rui's suspicion of running over the person had been cleared, there was still a formal statement to be made at the police station.

Now Ding Fan and the others decided to do a good deed all the way, help to the end.

The two accompanied Xu Rui to the police station.

At the police station, Xu Rui only gave a statement, and the three came out together.

After leaving the police station, Xu Rui was in a very good mood. No matter what, he wanted to treat Ding Fan and Qin Manshu to a meal.

Ding Fan and Qin Manshu didn't refuse, as it had been some time since they last ate together.

Xu Rui eventually found a hot pot place.

The three ordered some drinks and started eating and chatting.

"Xu Rui, do you have any friends with the last name Tian?" After a few casual chats, Ding Fan asked directly.

At the car accident scene today, Ding Fan used Divine Sense to overhear a conversation between two people. One was clearly the mastermind behind the scenes, referred to as Young Master Tian. Although things were settled now, this Young Master Tian had not been unearthed. So, Ding Fan wanted Xu Rui to be cautious.

"Surname Tian?" Xu Rui thought for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, why?"

"What's he do?" Ding Fan asked.

"Tian Leji, Uncle Tian's son..." Xu Rui said.

"Besides this Tian Leji, do you know any other Tian?" Ding Fan asked.

Xu Rui thought for a while and then shook his head, "Just this one Tian. His dad just got transferred back to Dancheng. Back in the day, Uncle Tian and my dad were high school classmates."

"What's your Uncle Tian's position in Dancheng now?"

"Deputy Mayor," Xu Rui replied.

Ding Fan nodded. After hearing Xu Rui's words, he was more or less convinced that Tian Leji must be the mastermind behind it all.

"What's going on? Is something wrong?" Xu Rui looked at Ding Fan in confusion.

"In this incident, even if I don't say it, you should realize that someone must have been framing you," Ding Fan said calmly.

Ding Fan continued, "According to my judgment, that person should be this Tian Leji." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

"How is that possible?! Absolutely not. Tian Leji treats me like a brother. He's always looking out for me. How could he harm me?" Xu Rui said with a smile.

Just then, Xu Rui's phone started ringing. Xu Rui glanced at the phone.

It was a call from Tian Leji.

"It's from Tian Leji," Xu Rui told Ding Fan and Qin Manshu before answering the call.

"Xu Rui, I heard about your situation today. Were you hurt?" came a man's voice from the other end of the line.

Even though the voice was filtered through the call, Ding Fan could still tell the person speaking was the same Young Master Tian he heard at the scene earlier.

"I'm fine," Xu Rui said while dipping a piece of lamb in the hot pot.

"That's a relief," said Tian Leji from the other end of the line.
