Chapter 995
As they talked, Carson couldn't help clicking his tongue, "Those forensic medical experts are all good-for-nothings. They can't even get the DNA after so many days. How worrying!"
As soon as he said that, Lauren's eyes widened. She unconsciously turned to look at Sharon, who was sitting beside her. As expected, she saw her eyes already filled with rage. The next second, a fierce female voice suddenly roared. "Easy for you to say. Do you think the dead are like living people? Their skin tissue has turned into ashes. Would you be able to easily extract their DNA for me? You have the audacity to blame others for your own stupidity..." Carson rolled his eyes and sat straight.
"Hey, I wasn't talking about you. Why do you have such a big reaction? The skin has turned to ashes, but have the bones? With a four-month foetus, yet they can't even extract the DNA after so many days. Who's stupid here? With just a DNA test, we would know if it has anything to do with Frederick. Getting paid by the government and taxpayers, but they have such slow work progress. Am I wrong?"
Carson said it seriously, and Sharon smashed the cup in her hand on the table.
"You're unconvinced that I called you stupid. However, do you think that it would mean we could remove the suspicion of murder on Frederick just based on the finding that the child does not belong to the suspect? I don't know you, but I stabbed you with a knife. Am I not guilty of it?"
Her words made Carson speechless. Angrily, he refuted, "Since you're not stupid, why don't you extract it? You talk like everyone offended you. Be careful, or you'll stay single for life!"
"Don't worry. I'd rather be a nun than to be related to you!"
Seeing the both of them snapping at each other one after another, giving Lauren and Willy no chance to speak at all. Lauren couldn't help but to laugh out loud.
"You two really are enemies! How can you quarrel like this when you just got to know each other? By the way, both of you are medical students. Shouldn't you have a common language? Shouldn't you talk about some professional skills?"
That time, the two of them finally spoke in unison.
"Who has a common language with him?"
"Who has a common language with her?"
Their eyes met, and the two of them shifted their gazes away at the same time with a scoff.
They snorted.
At once, even Willy could not help but to shake his head. Carson was the most approachable and easy-going person among them. Perhaps that had something to do with his profession as a doctor. He was not petty, he was generous, and he could easily make people trust him, rely on him, and like him!
Him not giving in and even returning tit for tat to a woman was really a first!
They were both sick of each other. Lauren suddenly felt that the two of them were quite interesting, so she said, "Doctors and forensic medical examiners are similar, aren't they? I wonder if you both majored in the same thing. Or, I wonder whose is better!" That time, Carson thought about it seriously. His tone became calmer as he said.
"In terms of major, I think forensic medical examiners have higher requirements! Other than medical science, it's also compulsory to study jurisprudence. Ordinary doctors can't become forensic medical examiners!"
That, he had to admit! The professional standards of forensic medical examiner were stricter and more professional than that of doctors!
"At least you're knowledgeable about this!"
After making fun of him, Sharon's attitude also softened a lot.
"They should have their own strengths! Although forensic medical examiners have a wider scope of what they major in, they can't be very proficient. After all, dissecting dead people is much easier than living people. At least, the mental pressure will be much lesser! It's possible to have forensic medical examiners give emergency treatment but it would be impossible to have them carry out operations! Basically, each of them has its own specialization. One for the dead and the other for the living. It's just the target that's different!"
"How rare for you two to not go agaisnt each other!"
Laughing cheekily, Lauren hooked her arm through Sharon's and said, "Isn't this nice? Sharon, do you have a better view of this case or friend to help with this case?"
After thinking for a while, Sharon said, "It is the police's duty to confirm the identity of the dead and catch the murderer. It's not realistic to rely on you all's strength!"
In an instant, Willy and Carson's gazes were shifted towards her, "Are you doubting our investigation abilities?"
"Of course not. I heard about The Four Great Masters of Casterwich City. I have no doubt in the abilities of the four of you. Even if the one who is in the jail is Mr. Clements, the strength of The Four Great Masters is still as high. However, each profession has their own specialized techniques. Even if your target correct based on your analysis, that the identity of the victim is a prostitute or a mistress, there are still too many people like that in the big Casterwich City. Most of them even hide their identity. How much manpower and resources do you need to waste to search for her identity? Even if you manage to find her, I'm afraid it will take at least a year and a half to find the murderer! Do you want Mr. Clements to be locked up for being a major suspect for the entire time? Therefore, this would be the very last resort!"
"Then what's your better idea then? Are you saying that even if we find out the foetus' DNA, we can't help Frederick clear his suspicion and bail him out first?"
"If the child is not Mr. Clements', half of his suspicion will be cleared, which is still good for him! Therefore, if the DNA can be extracted, it is also helpful for the verification of the murderer.
So, this is still what we should do! In fact, there is a very simple way to clear the suspicion, but it depends on whether God is on our side or not!"
As soon as Sharon's words came out, the three of them looked straight at her.
"Miss Weil, please tell us!" That time, it was Carson who spoke. His attitude was humble, which was rare. Lauren couldn't help but to look at him with admiration.
It could be seen that the two had a deep relationship with Frederick!
For the first time, Lauren's impression of The Four Great Masters of Casterwich City improved. Even the way she looked at Willy had changed a lot. No matter what happened, true relationships were always touching.
Sharon also felt the same way.
She organized her thoughts before saying.
"The exact time of her death! No matter who the victim is, if there's evidence that Mr. Clements is not present during the time of her death, then no matter who the murderer is, whether the case is solved, or if the murderer is caught, it would have nothing to do with Mr. Clements. He then can clear the suspicion!"
With simple sentences, they were enlightened suddenly.
"But isn't it confirmed that it is from nine to eleven o'clock at night? That's why he became a major suspect! The main problem is that there is no surveillance camera there. There is also no actual witness at night!"
"No, the time of being burnt doesn't
mean the time of death! Was the
woman burned to death, or was she killed then burned? These are two completely different methods! In fact, I'm inclined towards the latter because the former is generally used to disguise the incident as suicide or an accident. An open forest would not be their option. It's too risky and difficult! Only a fool would do that! If it's the latter, the time of death is the key to clear Mr. Clements' suspicion. The problem now is if the degree of damage of the body and the evidence on the scene could accurately determine the time and cause of death, and if it could align with the idea of the forest being just a place to dump the body and not the first scene of the murder. As I'm not in charge of the case and can't see the details of it, I can only give a general analysis. As for the specifics, we still need to look at the evidence! However, your methods are like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is not at all effective!"
