The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

Chapter 448: Chapter 261: Breaking Through the Clouds to See the Sun!

Jiang An gently touched the projection screen, simulating the angle of the wound.

Then, he steadily approached the image position of the victim’s head, raised his arm, and precisely pointed his index finger at the wound location.

”The neck wound is very distinctive, almost horizontal in direction, and it extends from left to right.”

”According to our professional analysis of sharp instruments, the blade should have entered from the left side and then smoothly cut to the right.”

”Finally, the wound extended to the submandibular gland, causing the right side of the neck artery to rupture, triggering the tragic death.”

”Therefore, just from examining the formation mechanism of this wound, I personally conclude that it perfectly fits the left-to-right cutting technique.”

”Moreover, this wound is not absolutely horizontal, and the subtle angle deviation within it actually holds a hidden mystery.”

The three directors below listened with rapt attention, nodding frequently.

As if immersed in an extraordinarily academic feast.

Seeing this, Jiang An seized the opportunity, raising his hand to demonstrate a standard action on his own neck.

Suddenly, he further explained: ”From my anatomical research into the neck, the neck wound starts above the thyroid cartilage, and then it ascends all the way up to the right side, extending to the submandibular gland.”

Jiang An paused briefly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, and then he said, ”The victim Yang Xiu was as tall as 1.79 meters.”

”Such a tall physique is exceptional among females.”

”Moreover, at the time of the incident, the victim Yang Xiu was wearing high heels.”

”This way, her overall height approached over 1.80 meters.”

”Imagine, such a tall woman, if her neck were cut by someone while standing, what a tall and powerful person the killer must be? The height must be at least over 1.80 meters.”

”However, if the victim was sitting on a chair when misfortune struck, then everything would be logical and much more reasonable.”

Jiang An continued: ”Besides this key bloodstain, I have another important evidence.”

”It’s the conspicuous bloodstain distribution on the front thigh of the deceased.”

Then, Jiang An changed the slide, showing a photo of the front side of the thigh.

”There are many splattered bloodstains on the front side of the victim’s thigh.”

”But the lower legs and shoe backs are clean, without a trace of blood.”

”Why is that?”

”Actually, it is like our daily sitting posture.”

”When in a seated position, the front part of both thighs extend forward, just enough to shield the lower legs, creating a natural blank protection zone in the lower leg area.”

”This way, after being injured, the blood splattering on the front of the thighs perfectly aligns with the characteristics of blood distribution at the scene.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the venue suddenly realized, nodding unconsciously.

Especially Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ma.

Back then, both were also very focused on the bloodstain analysis of this case.

However, at that time, the analysis mainly concentrated on the large bloodstains and splash patterns from the victim’s neck.

Thus, they firmly believed that the victim was most likely cut from the front by someone, ultimately leading to death.

Based on the victim’s outstanding height at the time, combined with the simulation deductions of physical experiments, they concluded the perpetrator’s height must be over 1.80 meters.

But now, it seems that the previous deduction was undeniably misguided, misleading the investigation direction.

Mr. Zhang showed a look of remorse, staring intently at the screen while his fingers unconsciously tapped the table, producing a dull sound.

He spoke with a hint of embarrassment: ”To be honest, back then when we were reexamining this case, we also considered many factors.”

”Among them, one of the most special considerations was that the suspect could cut such a tall victim’s neck, so the height must be significant.”

”But now, through Jiang An’s detailed examination, as long as the victim was seated, any ordinary person above the height of 1.60 meters could have been capable.”

”This way, the range of suspects instantly broadened, and all previous assumptions have to be overturned.”

Mr. Bai also felt deeply moved, nodding in agreement.
