Chapter 1141 - 1072: Focus on Examination
Seated in the brand-new GL8, Dai Mingsheng eagerly asked, "Captain Jiang, has the cause of death been confirmed?"
"Mechanical asphyxiation. It seems someone covered her mouth and nose from behind, suffocating her to death," Jiang Yuan paused and elaborated more clearly, "Before death, there was sexual activity, but it’s uncertain whether it involved assault. Additionally, the victim showed weak resistance; it’s possible she was drugged. We’ll need to wait for toxicology results."
"Time of death?"
"Around 4:00 AM that morning."
"So, Li Aiyuan had just finished filming her scenes that day and then died?"
"Pretty much."
"Makes sense. Given her level of attention, if she had appeared on set later, someone would surely remember. The fact that her body was discovered only the next morning means she was killed shortly after disappearing."
"She maintained her appearance before death. Her clothes and shoes were mostly clean. Whether it was voluntary or forced activity, there wasn’t much violence during the process..."
Jiang Yuan detailed the autopsy findings to Dai Mingsheng for several minutes.
Information exchange within the investigative team is crucial in criminal investigations. Withholding information could lead to serious consequences, especially when decisive evidence is found. Reporting it promptly is more critical than rushing to solve the case on-site. Independent action is unpredictable—if only one or two people head to a scene and something goes wrong, the discoveries could be lost entirely.
