Chapter 754: Narrowing the Suspect Range

Last night, the forensic doctor didn’t rest at all, and finally finished the autopsy report at around 6 in the morning.

In Lu Chuan’s office, the forensic doctor was giving a report.

"The cause of death of the deceased has been confirmed; it was indeed due to a brain hemorrhage."

"We retrieved the deceased’s medical examination report and case file from the First People’s Hospital in Haizhou City."

"Combining the preliminary symptoms of the deceased, our judgment is that the deceased died from an emotional overreaction causing extreme anxiety, leading to a rupture in the brain blood vessels, resulting in a brain hemorrhage and ultimately death."

Lu Chuan and Gao Wenxia were not wrong in their on-site judgment.

The blood flowing from the deceased’s nasal cavity was indeed not ordinary nosebleed.

Lu Chuan carefully reviewed the autopsy report, and he understood the forensic doctor’s conclusion clearly.

This means, the deceased had underlying health issues compounded by extreme emotional agitation.

Leading to a massive brain hemorrhage.

To put it bluntly, he was scared to death.

Being scared to death...

Indeed exists, but it’s not very common.

When Lu Chuan was in college, he encountered a famous experiment concerning this field.

Called the blood drop test.

Many years ago, someone abroad conducted experiments to determine if people could be scared to death, using very simple methods.

They found a death row inmate, blindfolded him, and fixed him on a reclining chair.

They used a knife to forcefully scrape the limbs of the test subject, pretending to cut open wounds.

Of course, there were actually no wounds.

But the cold touch of the knife’s blade and the blindfolded eyes prevented the convict from knowing the reality.

Meanwhile, the experimenters used a bucket to drip water, simulating the sound of blood dripping from the limbs.

Initially, the dripping was rapid, then gradually slowed down.

Letting the subject believe his blood was slowly draining out.

In the end, this test subject truly died.

Without any actual external injuries, he was scared to death.

After dissecting the deceased’s body, it was found that there was a large amount of adrenaline remaining inside.

Abnormal blood flow rates, and the nervous system also showed unusual behavior.

The forensic doctor continued: "A large amount of adrenaline had accumulated in the deceased’s body, leading to abnormally high blood pressure, resulting in death."

"The exact time of death was at 5:20 AM yesterday."

"Additionally..."

The forensic doctor adjusted his glasses: "We found something inside the deceased’s body."

The forensic doctor handed several autopsy photos over to Lu Chuan.

"There were residues of silicone oil inside the deceased’s lower body, as well as some tissue fragments."

"Silicone oil? Tissue?"

Lu Chuan looked at the photos and then raised doubts: "Is there evidence of assault?"

At the scene, Lu Chuan and others only conducted a surface examination of the corpse, without a particularly detailed investigation.

The surface of the body showed no signs of handgrip marks, and the clothes were not in disarray, so at that time, Lu Chuan and others initially concluded that there had been no assault on the deceased.

"Although there is very little silicone oil residue, and the other party wiped it with tissue, there are still some residues."

"Additionally, we found some abrasions inside the deceased’s lower body."

"Our preliminary assessment is... these injuries were inflicted after the deceased’s death."

Lu Chuan took a deep breath.

He understood the forensic doctor’s implication.

The killer violated the deceased after death, and the process was very cautious.

And did some cleaning afterward.

This makes the motive more clear.

One more clue about the murderer has surfaced.

However, it’s very unfortunate that, although the murderer left some clues, they are insufficient to pinpoint the suspect.

At ten o’clock in the morning.

"Captain Lu, Qin Weiwei’s ex-boyfriend has been found!"

Oh?

"Let’s go and have a look."

In the interrogation room, Zheng Gaoxue was undergoing questioning.

"I’m really not lying, I called Qin Weiwei the afternoon before yesterday to borrow 20,000 yuan."

After last night’s sorting, Qin Weiwei’s ex-boyfriend, Zheng Gaoxue, is currently the prime suspect.

First of all, he had a close relationship with the deceased, as they were once lovers.

Through an investigation into Qin Weiwei’s call records, it shows that Zheng Gaoxue had a phone conversation with Qin Weiwei at around four o’clock the afternoon before yesterday.

And after Qin Weiwei’s death, just that morning at eight o’clock, Zheng Gaoxue left Haizhou City.

In addition, the most critical point is that Zheng Gaoxue graduated from vocational high school, where he studied low voltage technology.

His work also involved low voltage electrical appliance sales.

He is fully capable of obtaining that black box.

"And then?"

"Then she agreed, I went to her house to deliver an IOU, she transferred the money, and then I left."

"Because my mother was sick, and I borrowed money to cover the surgery fees, I left Haizhou City to go back to my hometown at around eight in the morning yesterday."

"Really, I didn’t kill anyone, you have to believe me."

"By the way, you can check the surgery situation in our hometown, my mother did have surgery."

Zheng Gaoxue adamantly denied killing Qin Weiwei.

"So why did you two break up?"

"She... basically, my family didn’t approve."

"On New Year’s Day last year, I took Weiwei back to visit my hometown, my mom met her once and said she didn’t seem like someone meant for a stable life, plus her job as a model brought her in contact with a particularly mixed crowd."

"My mom said a woman like that can’t be cared for."

"We broke up after that."

Bam!

Wang Zhaokai slammed the table: "You’re lying!"

Zheng Gaoxue’s lead was being probed all night last night.

This morning, Wang Zhaokai went to the company where Qin Weiwei worked.

Wang Zhaokai already found out from two of Qin Weiwei’s close friends at her company that their breakup wasn’t for this reason at all.

According to what Qin Weiwei’s friends said, the breakup between Zheng Gaoxue and Qin Weiwei was very unpleasant.

"You broke up with Qin Weiwei because you stole 40,000 yuan from her!"

"In the second half of the year before last, you got into gambling. You thought we wouldn’t know?"

"After breaking up with Qin Weiwei, you harassed her multiple times."

"You even went to her workplace twice causing trouble, extorting 30,000 yuan from her."

"And now you tell me you called her the afternoon before yesterday to borrow money."

"And she ends up dead by early morning the next day, while you left Haizhou City at 8:00 the following morning."

"And now you claim you’re not the killer, who would believe that?"

Inside the interrogation, Lu Chuan watched for a while from the monitor.

"Bring over his signed confirmation statement from the interrogation."

Based on the current clues and circumstances discovered, the suspicion on Zheng Gaoxue is the highest.

However, Zheng Gaoxue has been interrogated for over three hours and he still denies killing Qin Weiwei.

"I... I..."

Having his lie exposed by Wang Zhaokai, Zheng Gaoxue’s eyes flickered nervously.

Bam!

Wang Zhaokai yelled: "Zheng Gaoxue! Confess now, and it will be considered honest, think it through!"

"Persisting with resistance will do you no good!"
