Chapter 115 - 72: Drops of Blood
"Is that so..." Ran Yan replied absently, her gaze fixed on a drop of blood on the riverbank.
In forensic medicine, there’s specialized research on bloodstain analysis at crime scenes, as the bloodstains left vary under different circumstances. Take blood droplets as an example—those from different heights and angles are significantly different.
The drop of blood by the river was very round with evenly dispersed micro-droplets around it, suggesting a wide splatter.
"What have you discovered, Seventeenth Wife?" Liu Pinrang noticed Ran Yan staring blankly at the riverbank and quickly came over to ask.
Pointing at the blood droplet near her toes, Ran Yan said, "Look, it’s so round."
Liu Pinrang, utterly baffled, said, "What?"
"For a blood droplet like this to form, there’s only one scenario. Unless the bleeding person or the bloodied person or object lingered here, at about this height," Ran Yan gestured to a spot above her waist, "or possibly even higher, and the blood fell straight down to the ground from here. Moreover, when the blood fell, the bloodied object was stationary."
"Are you so certain?" Inspector Liu, although he asked this, was continuously pondering in his mind what circumstances would cause a person or a blood-soaked person or object to linger at this spot.
