deep white secret

Chapter 98

A few days later, Xu Dan's autopsy report came out, and the five members of the criminal investigation team also made a summary of the surrounding investigation and visits in the past few days.

Zhang Lei spoke first:

"Xu Dan, 32 years old, born in 1989, married Hu Siyang a year ago. Three years ago, Xu Dan worked as a manager in a private hospital and met Hu Siyang because of business relationships."

After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he looked at everyone:

"We have been discussing it a lot these days. Everyone has this idea. Yes, Hu Siyang and Xu Dan were not divorced when they met."

Ningxia was the first to sigh, while Shi Yihang shook his head:
"I despise this kind of person the most."

Zhang Lei closed his notebook:
"That's it. Hu Siyang divorced a year ago, and registered with Xu Dan immediately a week later."

"Have all Xu Dan's former colleagues and friends visited?"

"To say that Xu Dan has many friends is true. There are more than 2000 people in his address book alone, but I don't have many true friends. I agree with that sentence. Behind the excitement in the crowd is the soul of a lonely person."

Ma Mingjie patted Zhang Lei:
"Officer Zhang rarely expresses his emotions, why? What happened during the visit?"

Zhang Lei opened the record book again:

"Xu Dan has a group of four golden flowers. These three women have the most contact with Xu Dan. They play mahjong, go shopping, and eat. Their living conditions are similar to Xu Dan."

Zhang Lei shook his head:
"But after Xu Dan was killed, these three people were even more gossipy. I don't know what supports the friendship between women. They told me a lot about Xu Dan's private life, and they were more disdainful."

Zhang Lei looked at Ningxia:

"Ningxia, tell me, what is the psychology of these three people?"

"I won't bless you for your good life, but I'm secretly happy for your misfortune. That's probably the case. Officer Zhang, what do those three people say about the marriage of Xu Dan and Hu Siyang?"

"Xu Dan should have the best life among the four. All three of them thought that Xu Dan was a materialistic person. After meeting Hu Siyang, Xu Dan took the initiative to launch an offensive. He said he was envious and jealous, and he said he was disdainful and unwilling."

"Zhang Lei is awesome. He summarized it so well. Your clue is so powerful. We can be sure that except for the two parties involved, no one else is optimistic about the combination of Xu Dan and Hu Siyang."

Xu Jie thought about Ma Mingjie's words and asked after a while:

"Ma Mingjie, where are you?"

"I am on Hu Siyang's line. Hu Siyang was indeed not at home on the day of the incident. The pharmaceutical company he ran had a sales problem. He went to deal with it on the day of the incident. There are both witnesses and material evidence."

Xu Jie nodded and asked Ningxia:

"Where's the surveillance video here?"

Shi Yihang smiled furtively and answered first:

"I am responsible for the video surveillance of Mingyuan Community, and I captured Captain Xu driving into the community at [-]:[-] after the incident."

Ningxia glanced at Shi Yihang, what was he talking about?
"At 8:19 p.m., Captain Xu was photographed leaving Building 160 with Ningxia with a travel bag and returning to Captain Xu's apartment. The two did not come out until before going to work the next day."

Ning Xia picked up the notepad at hand and slapped Shi Yihang. Shi Yihang smiled and begged for mercy:
"Captain Xu is so fast, I have to hurry up too."

Ningxia's face felt hot. Nothing happened between her and Xu Jie, and even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't wash away the situation.

Xu Jie smiled easily, with a noncommittal look on his face:
"Okay, let's get to the point."

The whereabouts of Xu Jie and Ning Xia were announced. Shi Yihang ate the melon happily. Ma Mingjie and Zhang Lei also laughed. Shi Yihang then closed his smile and said:

"The entrance to the community was monitored. There were many people coming in and out before three o'clock. There was no suspicious person. According to the time of death given by the medical examiner's office, there was no record of visits to Xu Dan's home on the day she was killed."

Ningxia asked anxiously:
"Where's the surveillance camera downstairs?"

"There is no surveillance directly facing Building 160. The surveillance is between Buildings 160 and 161, so I can see you and Captain Xu very clearly."

Ningxia waved her hand:
"Okay, I get it."

Xu Jie asked with a smile:
"That day is Sunday, which means you didn't find anyone suspicious in the video closest to Building 160?"

"No. By coincidence, we were moving on the 18th floor after three o'clock that day. The moving company's car was parked downstairs for 10 minutes. The car happened to be blocking the video surveillance area."

Everyone thought the coincidence was too incredible to believe.

"Are you sure you're moving?"

"Yes, it was just a couple who moved, but there are a lot of people helping us, so we have to continue investigating here."

"Ningxia, please read the autopsy report for everyone."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he walked to the window and prepared to listen carefully.

Ningxia projected the autopsy report from the Forensic Medicine Department on a big screen.

In the photo, Xu Dan is facing up, his head is tilted to one side, his long hair covers half of his cheeks, he is wearing silk home clothes with suspenders, and his apron is still tied around his waist.

"This is the first photo taken by the Korean forensic doctor after entering the crime scene. The Korean forensic doctor emphasized that Hu Siyang called 120 before him, so the emergency doctor had been to the scene."

"The body was moved?"

"The Korean forensic doctor verified with the emergency doctor. The doctor performed simple first aid at the time, but Xu Dan had no vital signs. The doctor realized that it was a criminal case and asked Hu Siyang to call the police immediately. This is what we see now."

No one had any objection, Ning Xia continued:

"There were seven lacerations, contusions and lacerations in the postmortem examination. The first one was a vertical wound on the right occiput, which was a fall injury. The second one was on the forehead and face, with superficial abrasions. The third one was on the lip, on the edge of the wound. Neat and deep into the skin, with sharp angles.”

"This is a stab wound."

Zhang Lei pointed at the big screen and Ningxia continued:

"The fourth site is 2.5cm below the left midclavicular line. The angle of the wound is deep into the chest cavity, causing damage to the upper lobe of the right lung, the mediastinum, and the pericardium. The aorta and superior vena cava are ruptured, causing rapid blood loss. The knife was used here. The injuries caused the victim to develop a hemopneumothorax.”

"The fifth injury was on the left upper abdomen, with a 3cm long oblique laceration, the upper and lower corners of the wound were sharp, the edge of the wound was flat, and it reached deep into the abdominal cavity. The sixth injury was on the back of the right shoulder, with skin abrasions and acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Injured from a fall.”

"The seventh injury is on the chest and back. There are 5 skin wounds. The edges of each wound are neat and they are abrasions. The skin wounds are superficial and only touch the dermis."

Ning Xia read a long paragraph and breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is only part of the autopsy report. Xu Dan had a fierce fight with the murderer when he was killed, and there were contusions and lacerations in different parts. But..."

Ningxia took a breath and continued:

"Xu Dan's fatal injury was caused by strangulation and suffocation. In addition, Xu Dan's face, waist, back, and buttocks can be seen with large areas of scratches and contusions, all caused by the fight."

After Ning Xia finished reading, the five of them were quiet for a moment, but Xu Jie spoke first:
"From the autopsy report alone, it can be seen that the murderer committed the murder in a disorganized manner and did not intend to actually kill Xu Dan."

"I agree with Tou's idea. Although there are many wounds on Xu Dan's body, there are more contusions, lacerations and abrasions, indicating that the murderer and Xu Dan struggled for a long time."

"Well, the murder weapon was a fruit knife in Xu Dan's kitchen, which further explains the problem. The murderer did it impromptu. As for the final strangulation, it was the murderer's fatal attack after various fights. It can be seen that it was an impulsive crime."

Everyone reached a consensus, and Xu Jie looked at Ningxia again:

"Let's talk about other physical evidence found at the scene, fingerprints?"

While everyone was discussing, Ningxia had briefly read the forensic report at the back. After hearing Xu Jie's question, Ningxia projected the report on the big screen:

"This is what makes the scene interesting. I discovered a lot of things. Take a look..."
