Chapter 1489 This Woman is Simply Amazing

Now Jiang Wan wanted to go in to see the body, and Li Tianci had to follow her in out of professional sense and responsibility.

The room was not big and could only accommodate a few people walking around in circles.

There wasn't much room after one body.

The three of them could not stand together shoulder to shoulder, they could only walk around one in front and one behind.

Jiang Wan first lifted the white cloth and took a look.

After a careful examination, he said, "Although I am not a forensic doctor, I have solved several cases with Liang Jianguo."

"Plus, I was also curious about this aspect, so I learned some of it privately."

"According to my preliminary judgment, the deceased should have died last night. Around 11:00~12:00."

"She was strangled."

"Judging from the strangulation marks on his neck, the murderer should be about 1 meters tall. He is not too tall, probably a man."

Li Tianci looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Why do you have such a guess?"

He also had an estimate of the time of death, which was similar to Jiang Wan's.

Although Li Tianci is not a forensic doctor, he has been dealing with criminal cases for many years and has some experience in inferring time.

The exact time cannot be determined, but the approximate time should be correct.

He saw this.

The question is: How did Jiang Wan determine the murderer’s height?

There is no problem with the cause of death.

There were obvious strangulation marks on the messenger's neck, and there was only one mark, which meant that he was strangled to death in one go.

Judging from the injuries on the body and the cause of death, the man must have strangled the woman's neck with a rope when she was not paying attention, causing death due to mechanical asphyxiation.

These are all correct!

The only thing he couldn't understand was the murderer's height, so he was very curious.

Jiang Wan turned to look at him and asked, "What position was the deceased in when he was found? He should have been sitting, right?"

Li Tianci nodded.

"From the time of death, the deceased's limbs should still retain the shape they had before death."

"She died sitting on a chair in the train."

Jiang Wan said:

"Look at her height, plus how high she is from the ground when she's sitting."

"Looking at the angle of the strangulation marks on the neck, it can be determined that the deceased was not tall."

"If the deceased was very tall, the strangulation marks would be more upward and tilted more."

Then Jiang Wan picked out a white bed sheet from the miscellaneous items next to her, and she tore off a piece and twisted it into a knot.

Then he said to Li Tianci: "Do you want to call your friend in and give it a try?"

Li Tianci nodded and called someone in from outside the door.

Jiang Wan asked him to sit on a chair. She took the cloth strip and strangled the man's neck.

The person being strangled wanted to resist but was stopped in time.

Then, Jiang Wan squatted down a little bit, imitating the angle of the short murderer's crime.

She didn't use too much force, just left a shallow mark, and then used a pen to draw a line on the mark.

Then he removed the cloth strip and handed it to Li Tianci.

Li Tianci took it and looked at her, then tried it according to her method.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed the case.

The marks left on the neck are different depending on your height.

Using this as a reference line, we can look at the marks of strangulation on the deceased. It was indeed done by someone who was no taller than 1 meters.

Jiang Wan said: "There are plenty of women over 1 meters tall on the train, but not many men."

"Usually, men who can reach 1 meters in height either have some developmental problems or are underage."

1 meters is indeed very short, but it is not too short.

The question is: how many can be on a train?

Li Tianci understood instantly.

Then he called two of his subordinates over and said, "Go to each carriage and check if there are any men around 1 meters tall."

"Don't disturb him if you find him, just come and tell me."

Just as the two were about to leave, Jiang Wan's voice came from behind: "No need to be so troublesome."

"Just call the conductor and the conductors of each car over."

"They are walking around in the carriage, and all kinds of guests should be able to see them."

"The deceased was murdered in the soft sleeper car, so we will focus on investigating the train attendants in all the hard and soft sleeper cars."

"You can ignore the hard seats for now and wait until we have checked them thoroughly before we deal with them."

Li Tianci thought it made sense, so he looked at his two subordinates.

The two nodded and started looking for someone.

Li Tianci turned back, looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Haven't you ever taken any investigation courses before?"

Jiang Wan shook her head and smiled, then replied, "I prefer writing novels. When writing novels, I also research some cases in this area."

"In order to write a good novel, I talked to the local police, forensic doctors, and even criminals."

"You can treat this as an experience of life, or you can treat it as boredom and have some fun."

Li Tianci nodded and understood.

In other words, her ability was not innate, but something she developed slowly through exploration.

He suddenly understood why Liang Jianguo sounded so melancholy and helpless when he mentioned Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan examined the deceased's body again.

Then he said, "Can you turn her over? I want to see if there is anything abnormal on her back."

Li Tianci thought about it and nodded.

The deceased's body was then turned over.

Jiang Wan took a quick look and shook her head.

Just when she was about to ask Li Tianci to turn his body over, she suddenly thought of something, waved her hand and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he looked around.

Feeling that the light in the room was a little dim, he asked Li Tianci to find a flashlight.

Li Tianci didn't want to leave, for fear that Jiang Wan would do something to the corpse.

Jiang Wan walked to the door and called a conductor who was standing guard not far outside, asking him to help find two large flashlights.

When the conductor came back, he didn't bring the flashlight, but brought two oil lamps.

The kerosene lamp is an older type. It will light up after kerosene is lit inside. There is a lampshade outside to prevent the wind from blowing away the flame inside.

After getting the two lamps, Jiang Wan held them closer and examined them carefully.

Suddenly he turned to the conductor and asked, "Do you have tweezers?"

Li Tianci reached into his pocket and took out a pair of tweezers.

Jiang Wan looked at him in confusion, and Li Tianci said, "This is also my skill in eating."

Jiang Wan smiled.

He used tweezers to find a small strand of pink stuff from the woman's back, around the lower back.

Li Tianci whispered, "What is this? It looks like the fiber of some kind of fabric."

Jiang Wan said: "This is part of the yarn."

"how to say?"
