Chapter 93 - 58: Make-Up on a Dead Man’s Face_2
Pausing briefly, Ran Yan continued, "The edges of the secondary wounds showed no sign of the skin curling up, indicating no signs of life, and there was depressed comminuted fracturing. The wounds were clean-cut in a triangular shape, which suggests that these injuries were inflicted after death with a forceful blow from a sharp metal blunt instrument."
Liu Pinrang nodded thoughtfully, "Then how do you determine that there were two perpetrators?"
"From the sequence of the wounds inflicted on this body, the murderer initially struck the victim from the front with a wooden blunt object. However, due to insufficient force, the victim experienced only momentary discomfort. Seeing that she had not died, the murderer immediately pushed her into nearby water filled with flower petals. At this point, the victim began to struggle desperately. In a fight for survival, a person can tap into greater potential than usual. Judging from the wounds inflicted, this murderer did not have great strength, certainly not that of a strong and muscular man. Therefore, it’s very likely that there was another person aiding the perpetrator in the crime."
"After drowning the victim, the murderer then began to hide the body. In the summer’s heat, where could the body be hidden to prevent it from rapidly decomposing?"
"During the tea party, everyone was gathered in one place. How could the murderer be sure that Qin Silang would walk away alone? And how did they calculate the timing to move the body and set up the scene?"
One by one, Ran Yan’s questions all pointed towards the Yin residence.
Why did Yin Miaomiao propose the game of hide and seek that day? Could she truly be connected to this murder case?
Ran Yan exhaled, feeling a sense of weakness all over. She had a vague sense that she was about to see the truth of the matter, "I feel that I’ve lost part of my memories, and I dream of a woman every night, her face covered with a plain cloth, her body sunk in water. It seems to be Yin Siniang, Yin Wanwan... Inspector Liu, you might want to look into her cause of death."
