Chapter 265
I grabbed Dexter from behind and directed my middle finger at the crowd with an indifferent gaze. I was aware that the murderer possessed a strong sense of self-esteem and would not tolerate provocation from others.
Therefore, I had to take the lead in provoking... This way, he would focus on targeting me instead of Violette.
Violette immediately understood my intention and stepped forward in a panic to press down my arm. Sophia, what are you doing?"
I steered Violette toward Zion. "Tell him to come to me. Get her out of here."
Zion was about to speak, but as soon as he saw my determination, he grasped Violette firmly. "Don’t stir up trouble. Come with me to examine the first body. You’re a forensic doctor. You should be able to uncover some clues."
Only after that did Violette react. She nodded and followed Zion. After taking a few steps, she glanced back at Dexter and said, "Protect Sophia."
Dexter nodded in response.
"A steel nail was found on top of the victim’s head, indicating she was killed by a direct blow to the skull, leaving no external wounds." Eason meticulously inspected around and discovered only the steel nail on her head.
"To ensure a successful attack, the perpetrator must possess considerable strength while the victim must have been defenseless. Given the victim’s serene facial expression, it appears that she did not suffer greatly in her final moments." Joel carefully checked the corpse.
I shook my head incredulously and examined the nail cap intently. "But if a steel nail were to strike the skull, the deceased would not lose consciousness, and there would also be signs of pain on her face. Unless it was carried out with a nail gun..."
The nail gun’s power drove the nail directly, preventing uneven force that could occur when using a hammer.
