The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 447 - 261: Breaking Through the Clouds to See the Sun!
In the meeting room, the light fell coldly on everyone’s faces, the atmosphere as heavy and silent as the calm before a storm.
Jiang An stood tall beside the projector.
He slightly raised his chin, his gaze sharp as he scanned each person present, then spoke steadily, "Next, I’ll discuss the state of the separated bodies."
"Both bodies were found in the same temporal environment."
"However, upon closer examination, there are significant differences in their positioning, clothing, even the posture of their limbs."
As he spoke, Jiang An extended his finger, precisely pointing towards the screen above.
Suddenly, four photos were vividly displayed on the projector screen.
They depicted the crime scenes on the second and first floors.
Everyone’s eyes congregated on the images, focusing on the state of the woman on the first floor.
On the first floor, the deceased, Yang Xiu, lay collapsed on the ground, with distinct blood spatter patterns on the floor.
Based on criminal investigation experience, analyzing the blood spatter, especially such spray patterns, is nearly impossible to disguise.
Understand, once the neck artery ruptures and bleeds,
the pressure is as forceful as a gushing fountain.
It’s absolutely difficult for ordinary people, even experienced doctors, to plug merely with gauze.
Yet, in this photo, the bloodstains near the air conditioner were truly perplexing.
Pausing briefly, Jiang An stated, "I suspect that when Yang Xiu was murdered, she was likely sitting on a chair."
Mr. Ma frowned deeply, adjusting the reading glasses on his nose bridge.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Comrade Jiang An, how did you determine she was attacked on the seat?"
At this moment, even the three department heads sitting opposite held their breath, eyes filled with focus and anticipation.
After all, Jiang An’s reputation had long spread far and wide to the higher echelons of public security departments.
If an ordinary officer had presented such a view, contradicting that of the special task force analysis back then, it would be considered presumptuous, even absurd.
But Jiang An was different.
He was a brilliant rising star within Zhang Cheng’s criminal investigation team.
Mr. Zhang, although having heard Jiang An’s remarkable deeds indirectly,
couldn’t help but raise an intrigued eyebrow, unable to mask his curiosity.
Jiang An, composed and unhurried, began to present his statement, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma, and distinguished experts."
"The reason I am convinced Yang Xiu was attacked while seated."
"Is primarily due to several droplets of blood found near the air conditioner."
Hearing this, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang’s minds were instantly struck as if by lightning.
Their past memories of this Crime Scene surged back in waves.
They had studied this case countless times.
Every detail was etched in their minds like a brand, deeply familiar.
Jiang An raised his hand again to point at a specific location on the screen.
"Nearby the northeast corner, beside the air conditioner, there are several blood droplets."
"Earlier, I closely observed the distribution of these bloodstains."
"These bloodstains are extremely isolated."
"Moreover, the direction indicated by the blood droplet arrows points to the path of force exertion."
"All of you here are criminal investigation experts, so I’ll be succinct."
"Based on the formation state of these blood droplets, the source direction can be deduced, coming precisely from the chair."
With a sweep of his arm, Jiang An drew an arc.
"Specifically, the object bleeding at that time was swung by force, creating these streaked marks under centrifugal action."
Immediately, everyone followed Jiang An’s guiding direction and looked closely.
Indeed, beneath the air conditioning unit, there were several blood droplets.
Mr. Zhang gazed at the blood droplets, memories flashing back to that year.
In truth, it wasn’t that they hadn’t noticed the blood droplets back then.
But it was previously assumed these were likely caused by the victim inadvertently flinging them during a violent struggle.
Or possibly, during a fierce tussle between the two, the suspect inadvertently flicked them off.
Mr. Ma took off his reading glasses, pulled out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, and meticulously wiped the lenses.
Then, putting his glasses back on, he asked with a deep gaze, "Do you mean these droplets formed at the moment of the crime?"
Jiang An nodded with confidence.
"Analyzing the force direction from the morphology of the stains, we can discern that the force’s origin was beside the chair." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
As he spoke, Jiang An stepped closer, gently tapping the image of the chair on the screen.
"Exactly this position."
After a long moment, Mr. Zhang slightly nodded.
"Indeed, it is a corner chair."
Jiang An slightly raised the corners of his mouth, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
He continued, "Since it’s a corner chair, the state we see now might not be its original state at the time of the incident."
"I’m wondering, has anyone moved this chair?"
At this point, both Li and Fang Yan exchanged looks, eyes filled with astonishment.
Though neither was part of the police team when the case occurred,
they have studied it in depth over the years, believing they had a thorough understanding of the case.
But Jiang An’s comments were like a heavy hammer, shattering their previous perceptions.
"As for whether it was moved, I currently have no concrete evidence."
"But at least in my view, it’s highly likely not in its original state."
Having said that, Jiang An deftly slid the mouse in his hand, and the photos in the PPT presentation scrolled like a slideshow.
In the blink of an eye, the scene switched to a high-resolution photo of the autopsy.
In the image, the deceased, Yang Xiu, lay quietly on the forensic autopsy table.
The gruesome wound on her neck was shocking, snaking from the front of her neck all the way to the right side.
