A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character

84 Hanged

After getting into the police car, Feng Jing asked Yin Tao, who was in the back seat, “Do you need to inform Dr. Su?”

“There’s no need. I should be able to do it.” Yin Tao felt that with her ability, she could already conduct an independent crime scene investigation. There was no need to call her master over in the middle of the night.

After preparing the investigation tools, the three of them got into the police car. Ji Yu drove very fast and they arrived at the crime scene very quickly.

“Captain Chen!” As soon as Yin Tao got out of the car, she saw Captain Chen inspecting the scene.

“Xiaoyin, Captain Feng, you’re here.” Captain Chen’s expression was solemn. It was unknown if it was because he was too tired or because the case was too dire.

“The body was in an abandoned car. I was trying to find evidence of the transaction in the dismemberment case, but I didn’t expect another murder to be discovered.” Captain Chen looked a little helpless. There had been more murders in City A in the past few days than in half a year.

Yin Tao followed Captain Chen’s directions and walked into the crime scene that was cordoned off. Yin Tao used the police searchlight to have a clear look at the condition of the corpse.

It was the body of a young female. Although there were reddish-brown livor mortis spots on her skin, Yin Tao could tell that this woman was very beautiful when she was alive.

Because the body was naked, Yin Tao first checked to see if there were any signs of assault. Surprisingly, not only were there no signs of assault, but there were almost no external injuries, except for an obvious ligature mark on the neck.

“Sister Xiaotao, could the victim have been strangled by the murderer?” Ji Yu and Feng Jing, who were standing behind Yin Tao, also noticed the abnormality of the corpse.

Yin Tao carefully examined the corpse and took a photo of the crime scene before gently covering the corpse with a cushion in the car. Yin Tao hoped to keep the deceased’s privacy as much as possible.

“It doesn’t seem to be strangulation. The specific cause of death may only be determined after autopsy.” Yin Tao thought for a moment before explaining her findings. “Based on the shape of the ligature marks on the victim’s neck, it’s more likely that she hanged herself.”

“Suicide?” Ji Yu couldn’t believe it. After all, the situation in front of him was too similar to a premeditated crime scene.

“The direction of the ligature marks extends from the left side of the neck to the back of the ear and tilts upward. If she didn’t hang herself, then the murderer could only have strangled the victim with a rope, then placed the rope directly on his shoulder and carried the victim on his back to suffocate him.”

After Yin Tao finished speaking, she shook her head and added, “But this possibility is too small. There are no scratches on the victim’s neck at all. Furthermore, her face is pale and livor mortis is concentrated in her lower body. These are all characteristics of suicide by hanging.”

“Do you think that the victim was thrown here after committing suicide?” Feng Jing believed in Yin Tao’s ability, but there were still many doubts about this murder case.

“It’s possible, but perhaps the reason for the victim’s suicide is related to the murderer, thus the murderer dumped her body at the second crime scene.” Yin Tao felt that they would have to start by finding the identity of the victim in this murder case.

“Then let’s go back to the police station and verify the identity of the victim. We’ll do the autopsy tomorrow.” Feng Jing felt that the timing of the murder was too coincidental, but the modus operandi was very different from the previous dismemberment case.

Ji Yu sent Yin Tao back to the dormitory while Feng Jing and Captain Chen returned to the police station to sort out the case. When Yin Tao returned to the dormitory, Bai Luo still wasn’t back.

Because she had come into contact with the corpse, Yin Tao went to the bathroom to take a shower. It wasn’t until four in the morning that she finished cleaning up.

Thinking that Feng Jing would not have time to teach her self-defense tomorrow, Yin Tao shook her head helplessly and set the alarm later by two hours.

Three hours before the alarm goes off…

Yin Tao looked at the time on her phone and resigned herself to her fate as she lay on the bed. The days with a murder case were not easy for the detectives and forensic doctors. No one wanted peace more than them.

Perhaps because she was too tired, Yin Tao fell asleep very quickly. Although she barely slept for a few hours, she still rushed to the autopsy lab on time the next morning with dark circles under her eyes.

“Xiaotao, why didn’t you sleep a little longer? Why are you here so early?” Su Ning had already begun the autopsy work. She looked at the tired Yin Tao and asked with concern.

“Master, didn’t you come even earlier yourself?” Yin Tao skillfully changed into a coat and put on rubber gloves before walking over to assist Su Ning.

“I heard from Captain Chen that you went to the crime scene alone last night. Looks like my disciple can already take charge.” Su Ning held a scalpel in his hand and had a smile on his face. This was a strange sight.
