National Forensic Doctor

"How was the victim Sun Xiuwen’s stepfather ruled out as a suspect?" Jiang Yuan gestured for the forensic doctor Tang Feng to sit down.

The case was still in its initial stages of understanding, even after half a month had passed. Jiang Yuan, appearing unhurried, casually inquired.

Cao Chujun shifted his posture and directly faced Jiang Yuan, saying, "The main issue is the timeline for the crime. The victim’s mother testified that between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., her husband was with her."

"Mutual spousal testimony?" Wang Chuanxing saw that Jiang Yuan remained silent and immediately raised the question. In such small-scale discussions, even junior officers could chime in occasionally, and a slightly far-fetched remark would not typically attract criticism.

Cao Chujun chuckled and said, "Although they’re a couple, the testimony came from the victim’s mother, and there is some evidence."

"What evidence?" Wang Chuanxing asked.

"Condoms," Cao Chujun replied succinctly, then elaborated further, "Around 6 a.m. that day, the two had intercourse, and the condom was discarded in the trash bin. The evidence has been collected."

Wang Chuanxing was astonished, "They stayed at it for two hours?"

Cao Chujun glanced at Wang Chuanxing strangely and responded helplessly, "Both were awake afterward and even had a conversation later. Considering the victim’s death window, the stepfather likely didn’t have the time to commit the crime."

"The time of death requires reconsideration," Jiang Yuan suddenly interjected, cutting off the communication between the two.
