Chapter 26: Someone Wants to Ensure She Dies 100%!!!

The deep, bone-revealing, jagged cut on the wrist.

Compared to the exposed broken bones and deformed skull, this injury draws the three’s attention even more!

Because, as members of the criminal investigation system, they all knew how incredibly bizarre and unusual it was to find a wrist-cutting injury on a corpse from a fall!

Even though Shen Lin had dealt with hundreds of bodies from falls over the years, not a single one had ever exhibited such a wound.

……

After collecting her shock, Shen Lin raised the deceased’s left wrist and examined it closely. She frowned and said, “This wrist cut is clearly not self-inflicted.”

“The cut is on the left wrist, and if a person were cutting it with their right hand, the direction of the cut would normally be…From the outside to the inside, it’s impossible for it to go from the inside out like this. It’s not in line with normal human anatomy.”

“A wrist injury like this, with the cut going from the inside out, based on past experience, is almost always caused by someone standing opposite the victim, holding a sharp object, cutting from that direction.”

Shen Lin’s words were shocking.

Because according to this assumption, besides the deceased, there must have been another person involved in this case!

This factor undoubtedly increased the uncertainty and severity of the case by several times.

If there was someone else involved, murder became a possibility.

Xu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly. As an experienced detective, he knew very well how much of a difference it made in terms of public opinion and the impact of a case when it was classified as a campus murder versus a campus suicide.

He took a deep breath and calmly said, “Shen Lin, please conduct a thorough examination.”

“Was the cause of death really due to excessive blood loss from the wrist cut, or was it from the fall?”

“Or is there a possibility that…”

“She was coerced into cutting her wrist and the fall was staged?”

Clearly.

If there was a possibility of murder, the case would be treated with much more seriousness.

The critical first 18 hours were even more crucial.

Before Shen Lin could answer.

Su Ming, who had been observing the blood stains on the ground, looked up at the height of the abandoned teaching building and the distance to the ground, then answered softly.

“Brother Sheng.”

“The deceased most likely committed suicide. But in my view…”

“This gruesome wrist cut was very likely inflicted by someone else after the fall.”

“First, why do I say it’s suicide?”

“You can look at the blood stains from the fall, they’re about two meters away from the building.”

“Based on our criminal investigation experience.”

“If the victim was pushed or thrown off the building after death, due to the weight, they would mostly fall within one meter of the building.”

“But if they jumped by themselves, due to inertia and the parabolic trajectory, the distance from the building would likely be about one and a half meters.”

“But now…”

“The blood stains are about two meters away, not within one and a half meters, and definitely not within one meter.”

“This means that the deceased likely jumped with all her strength, with both arms spread wide, to cover the two-meter distance.”

“So, it’s almost certain that the deceased jumped on her own and was not pushed or thrown.”

At this point.

Su Ming paused, searching the ground for several seconds. Not finding any scattered blood droplets, he shook his head and continued.

“As for why I say the wrist injury was likely inflicted by someone else after the fall…”

“It’s because…The wrist injury is extremely deep, having severed the radial artery, which means there was a massive amount of bleeding, and no possibility of natural clotting.”

“Based on human tolerance, a person who cuts the radial artery would lose consciousness and near-shock within two minutes.”

“And in this state…”

“It’s impossible for a normal person to climb to the railing, let alone leap off.”

“Of course.”

“There’s a possibility that as soon as the artery was cut, the victim immediately climbed the railing and jumped without needing any mental preparation.”

“In that case, it would be possible for the jump to happen before shock set in.”

“But I believe…”

“A ninth-grade student would find it hard to bear the pain from such a deep wound and have the courage to jump off without hesitation.”

“To rule out the possibility that this victim was mentally prepared to die…”

“I carefully searched again and found that there were no high-velocity blood droplets near the fall marks on the ground, not even a single drop.”

“If the artery was cut before the jump, with the arterial blood pressure, there should have been plenty of blood droplets in the air.”

“But now…”

“There’s absolutely nothing!”

“This proves that shortly after the victim fell, or within a few minutes, someone came to her side, cut the radial artery in her left wrist, ensuring A 100% guarantee of death!!!”

“Hiss.” Xu Changsheng instinctively sucked in a breath, his scalp tingling as he looked at Su Ming in disbelief.

Although Su Ming had shown terrifying deductive skills in the previous two cases, Xu Changsheng still hadn’t gotten used to it, still felt awe.

Or rather.

Su Ming’s mastery of criminal investigation knowledge.

And his ability to almost 100% deduce and reconstruct the sequence of events from just a single clue—it was truly astounding and left everyone in awe every time.

It was as if.

Su Ming had lived through these cases himself, making them seem effortless.

Meanwhile, Shen Lin, wearing rubber gloves, looked at Su Ming with trembling eyes, suppressing the urge to adjust her glasses.

Without hesitation, she immediately began a more detailed examination of the body, especially focusing on the fatal wounds.

Xu Changsheng wisely remained silent, quietly awaiting Shen Lin’s findings.

Surrounding was quietly tense.

Three minutes later.

After Shen Lin roughly finished her preliminary examination, she looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression, then nodded.

“Su Ming is correct.”

“The wrist injury was indeed inflicted by someone else after the fall, as a secondary injury.”

“We can conclude this because, after my preliminary examination…”

“The deceased fell on her back. Her skull was crushed, her right limb fractured from the impact, her spine was broken in five places, and three ribs were fractured, one puncturing her lung.”

“Looking at these injuries, they are severe, but because her heart wasn’t injured, she might have still been alive when she fell, though she was beyond saving.”

“Also.”

“Based on the clotting extent and range of each injury, the wrist’s radial artery clotting is notably less than that of the other wounds.”

“Since the human body has a limited amount of blood, the sooner bleeding begins, the larger the clotting area from the platelets.”

“But now…”

“Compared to the other major injuries, the radial artery’s clotting range and degree are clearly much less.”

“Combined with the fact that she may not have been fully dead when she fell…”

“This undoubtedly proves…”

At this point.

Shen Lin paused for two seconds, her gaze locking with Su Ming and Xu Changsheng, then with great gravity said.

“Someone wanted to ensure she died 100%!!!”
