The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

However, he was somewhat surprised by the fact that the Guangling Criminal Investigation team’s equipment was not only comprehensive, but their working practices were also highly professional.

Everyone wore masks, gloves, and foot covers.

Unlike some places where during scene investigation, investigators do not even wear masks, leading to the contamination of the scene by the technicians’ shed cells.

After 30 minutes, the investigation team completed the examination of two people’s bedrooms.

They found the deceased’s gold and silver jewelry and 2,000 yuan in cash from the bedroom.

Once the personal items were extracted and placed in evidence bags, Director Hou said, ”It seems that the deceased’s belongings were not stolen, thus the likelihood that robbery led to resistance resulting in death is low.”

Jiang An nodded and asked, ”Process the body first, then transport it to the forensic autopsy center.”

Soon, a technician with gloves began examining the body.

The three of them gathered around, where a female deceased lay on the sofa.

The young forensic doctor knelt down to examine and said, ”The deceased’s livor mortis is in the non-pressed area of the back, does not blanch under finger pressure, the rigor mortis is very strong, encompassing the whole body, with limbs very rigid, and the cornea moderately cloudy.”

”Judging by the signs on the body, I estimate her time of death to be around 15 hours ago.”

While analyzing the results, he deliberately turned to look at Jiang An.

Where their eyes met, Jiang An nodded and said, ”The analysis is good, continue.....”

As if receiving a teacher’s praise, the young forensic doctor’s expression became more relaxed, and he continued, ”The deceased has subcutaneous hemorrhage on the occipital area, with a palpable lump locally.”

”There are distinct strangulation marks visible on the deceased’s neck, with a few crescent-shaped nail imprints locally.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang An bent over to observe and asked, ”Are there more nail imprints on the left side, or the right side?”

Upon hearing this question, the young forensic doctor suddenly became alert, continued bending down to observe, and said, ”From the crescent-shaped indentations on the skin, one is visible on the left side, and three are visible on the right side.”

Following this, the young forensic doctor continued to examine downward, saying, ”The deceased’s upper body is wearing a black long-sleeve, with two buttons missing from the shirt collar, the lower body is wearing blue jeans, the belt is intact, with no damage.”

Upon hearing this statement, Mr. Chen asked, ”Could it be that during the struggle, during resistance, the buttons were torn off?”

Director Hou nodded as well, saying, ”I believe it’s possible, causing the collar to be torn during the struggle.”

Hearing their discussion, Jiang An only nodded slightly without voicing an opinion, his gaze fixed on the buttons.

Immediately afterward, the young forensic doctor took off the deceased’s outer clothing.

He examined while saying, ”The deceased’s underwear is in the normal position, the fastening is neat, with no signs of loosening.”

”The position of the underwear is quite normal as well, with no signs of being pulled down.”

Upon observing this, he said, ”Overall, there were no signs of assault on the body.”

After the young forensic doctor completed his preliminary examination, he stood up straight and deliberately asked, ”Mr. Jiang, is there anywhere else that requires further examination?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang An deliberately turned his head to glance at Mr. Chen and said, ”You’ve been very thorough, with a great forensic conclusion!”

Despite Jiang An’s feeling that many areas still needed attention, it’s important to speak favorably in front of others’ leadership!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded and said, ”We still need Mr. Jiang’s guidance!”

After pondering for a while, Jiang An said, ”The distribution of injuries on this body is very limited.”

”One being the scalp hematoma at the occipital area, which appears freshly formed. The other is the strangulation mark on the deceased’s neck.”

”However, I did not see any obvious signs of struggle or resistance on the arms of this body.”

After a long pause, Jiang An looked around and added, ”I’m wondering under what circumstances she was choked to death?”
