Chapter 4: Two corpses
Chapter 4: Two corpses
Jiang He turned his head, as if a teacher had questioned a student who couldnt answer, What do you dont understand?
Asking in such a tone in front of his own hands was certainly disrespectful to himself, but not long ago What transpired within a few minutes also made Captain Wang realise that the person in front of him didnt seem to understand the world at all, and from the look on Jiang Hes face, he didnt seem to be aware of the problem at all.
Captain Wang didnt seem to mind: Why do you have 90% confidence that this individual committed suicide, and what is the remaining 10%? Killing?
I cant say that totally, Jiang he scowled. Current medical research classifies deaths into four categories: suicide, homicide, accidental death, and natural death.
I see what youre saying. Forensic medicine is exactly the same, Captain Wang remarked, nodding. A forensic physician should be here soon.
Jiang He shook his head: This is only part of the work of forensic medicine.
All right, all right. Its a part of it. Captain Wang could only accept defeat in the face of Jiang Hes criticism: Then whats the other ten percent chance?
Theres still a 9% probability of it being a homicide. Just hit the shoe cabinet with frontal power, so it didnt move but just banged along the horizontal shape. After then, the murderer stabbed the victim in an unusual posture and fled in an instant, leaving the blood splattered on the floor in front. Jiang he stated.
It seems improbable. It should be exceedingly rare, Captain Wang said, shaking his head.
After speaking, he changed his tone and inquired, Is there still a percentage? Is there one?
The other one percent is accidental death, Jiang he said, extending his finger. The dead arrived here with a knife, but she fell to the ground and the knife happened to be resting on it. After meeting all of the preceding prerequisites on the shoe cabinet, the knife just stabbed below her stomach, resulting in the current scene.
If thats the case, then its too coincidental, Captain Wang replied, scratching his head.
There are no coincidences in this world; everything that happens is a coincidence, Jiang he stated. It is simply a collection of minor probability. No matter how little the probability is, it signifies that it can happen. What I do is collect all of the probabilities and find the one with the highest possibility, i.e. the possibility closest to the truth.
Im afraid only the dead folks know what the truth is.
Hearing Jiang Hes philosophical words, everyone present was thoughtful. Jiang He didnt say anything.
However, Jiang He didnt care what these folks thought because he was preoccupied with another corpse.
Jiang was downstairs not long ago. Hed already overheard the inhabitants discussing how the deaths of one old and one small were the result of a mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship. Those nice neighbours also provided flawless logic. Some said that the mother-in-law murdered the daughter-in-law, while others claimed that the daughter-in-law murdered the mother-in-law.
Jiang, too. He couldnt comprehend this kind of behaviour. He couldnt understand because he hadnt seen the scene. How did these people arrive at their reasoning conclusion?
So far, Ive only seen my mother-in-body, laws and I havent seen the body of my daughter-in-law.
Is there another body? Jiang He couldnt help but wonder.
These criminal cops realised at this point that they couldnt work on porcelain without diamonds. This small cop in front of him was rather capable.
Captain Wang led Jiang He to the bedroom door, where He Huijuans body lay on the bed.
Jiang He didnt hurry in, instead standing at the door and watching from afar. Jiang He could now view the entire home and realised that this was the master bedroom, which was much larger than the one next to it.
On the east side of the wall, a double bed is put, and the wooden bed is made of more expensive wood. A computer desk is located at the foot of the bed. Jiang He took a closer look and discovered that the computer was an HP pAVilion600. Anyone who knows computers knows that for the same price, the assembled machines performance is naturally better, and for the same performance, the complete machines price is naturally lower.
It appeared that the family is either wealthy or ignorant of technology. Jiang He was 90% certain that the family did not understand computers based on the homes dcor.
A row of big wardrobes line the wall on the other side of the door. The wardrobes are currently closed, so you cant see whats inside. A dressing cabinet is located on the other side of the bed.
Jiang He didnt know much about the cosmetics on the dresser, which worried Jiang He. Because, according to Jiang He, if you want to know the truth, you must get to know this individual extremely well. How can you know anything about someone if you dont even know what cosmetics they use, how much they cost, and what brand they are? What about the ladies?
As a result, before examining the deceased, Jiang He assigned the investigators present a task: Check all the brands and models of cosmetics on the dressing table.
Check the numbers and more to find out what these cosmetics are used for and how much they cost. After hearing Jiang Hes words Everyone looked at each other while they spoke. Although this Jiang He appears to be bluffing, he is not their own boss. Captain Wang, the true leader, is still standing here.
Take a look at it. Captain Wang hopelessly nodded.
These criminal police officers, who have been dealing with corpse criminals all year, are naturally ignorant about womens cosmetics. Fortunately, as society has progressed, the ease of smartphones has spread to all aspects of life. He started looking for the models of these cosmetics on his phone.
Jiang He eventually focused his sights on the body of the young woman.
Jiang, to be specific. He was staring at the bloodstain beside him. The corpses abdomen was stained with blood. It pours down the sides of the abdomen, and more blood can be observed on the right side of the female body. But what puzzles Jiang He is the fact that there were no spray-like bloodstains.
Putting this thought down for a while, Jiang He continued to observe the corpse.
In general, the corpse was resting flat on the bed, as if sleeping. Half of the quilt was wrapped around the corpses abdomen. Half of the bedspread and the corpse were slumped to the ground. Jiang He carefully examined the quilt and discovered that it was completely intact with no traces of cracks.
During the internal test where the quilt was half-pulled, Jiang He observed that there were innumerable sticks on it. There was a lot of blood.
Jiang He concentrated on the female corpse.
Common logic dictates that when a guy sees this scene, he should be a little bloodied, but none of the men present were, because they did not witness it. How would you react to a female corpse dressed only in her underwear? The female corpse was just dressed in her underpants.
This type of stuff should be termed lace underwear, and it has a looming style.
Jiang He extended his hand and touched it. Captain Wang was quite embarrassed by the womans underpants.
Captain Wang had no choice but to make a joke to alleviate the embarrassment: It appears like she was still asleep, thus she was stabbed.
Jiang He didnt hear that Captain Wang was joking, that he wasnt serious, and that there was nothing wrong with his behaviour. He stated: It is not necessary that you are sleeping in your underwear. This is only one of the options, and based on my speculation, your guess seems unlikely.
Captain Wang was rendered speechless.
Jiang He kept moving, not because he was a pervert, but because he wanted to know what material it was composed of. And then Jiang He sensed the softness and closeness of the underwear material, which was made of high-quality materials, as he touched it. The upper and lower underpants are a set made of the same material.
After a while, Jiang Hes gaze was drawn to the most vital location, the female corpses wound.
The female corpses wound is positioned above the navel. The wound is vertical, shaped like a and around five centimetres long. Jiang He could tell from the outside that the incision was deep in the centre and shallow on all sides, indicating a stab wound. Jiang He gently opened the wound while using gloves to inspect the inside. The wound was deep, and despite its short length, it was lethal.
Jiang He once used pigs to replicate two separate knife-related scenarios: being stabbed by a knife and being cut by a knife. Jiang, the experiments outcomes are quite apparent, Jiang He can easily take a human life if the wound is deep. Because it is a stab, the wound will not heal no matter how lengthy it is.
Depth is usually more memorable than length when it comes to taking a life.
The wound was on the side near the chest, Jiang He saw that the wounds folds were consistently spaced apart, but that the side closest to the navel was clean and smooth. Two distinct fold forms appeared to be the result of two distinct sharps.
Captain Wang, who was standing next to him, was plainly aware of this.
Jiang He stated, Looking at the wound, it can be seen that the upper and bottom ends of the wound have two different folds, one end is uneven and the other is flat, and the length of the wound is about five centimetres, and the depth is about ten centimetres.
Captain Wang paused for a time before responding, In other words, this young woman should have died first, while the old woman perished later.
Jiang He stated, There is a 90% chance of being correct. Because we dont know if this family has another knife with the same specifications.
Captain Wang said with a shrug. Youre serious, right? Then we can be certain that killer murdered the young woman first, right? What about the knife if it was suicide? it cannot flee on its own.
Jiang Hes reaction to Captain Wangs statements was extremely strong, and he said: No, the possibility of homicide is 50%, the probability of suicide is 50%, and the probability of accident is minimal based on the wounds I saw. More evidence is needed to determine whether it is homicide or suicide.
Jiang He said: In this way, we can consistently approach a probability to 100%, and then we will be coming closer and closer to the reality, he said, his eyes twinkling.
