The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

In an instant, the atmosphere in Forensic Autopsy Room No. 1 turned silent.

Everyone's gaze focused on the woman's trachea.

Clean!

Extremely clean!

Zhang Yean curiously said, "In the same fire scene, having such a clean trachea interior is very unusual!"

Wan also clicked his tongue, "Exactly! They were both indoors, why is there such a big difference in their trachea linings?"

Confusion appeared on both Mr. Ma and Li Jian's faces.

Indeed, within the same spatial environment, having such a fundamental difference is incredibly mysterious.

Everyone understood in their hearts that this wasn't about whether there's soot in the trachea, but about the cause of death.

In an instant, the same suspicion suddenly appeared in the minds of the two leaders.

Could it be that before the fire started indoors, this woman's head had already been severed?

Only when the head is severed and life signs are lost, would the deceased not have any breathing activity.

However, this was just their speculation, without solid evidence and clues found yet.

At this moment, the four of them unanimously turned their gaze toward Jiang An.

He seemed to have become the only one who could find the answer to the problem.

Jiang An's gaze was as sharp as a torch, staring at the woman's trachea lining.

He was thinking rapidly.

A trachea lining this clean indicates that when the fire broke out indoors, she was already not breathing.

Then, Jiang An slightly turned his head and looked at the missing head.

He thought of a possibility: could it be that the woman's head was severed, and then the room caught fire?

In this situation, the woman wouldn't be able to breathe.

Then, Jiang An's gaze swept across the upper end of the trachea.

After stopping for 2 minutes, he instantly rejected the previous idea.

During the indoor fire, this woman's head had not been severed.

Meanwhile.

In the Minghao Clothing Factory within the Jiangcheng Industrial Park, Chen He was leading the criminal investigation team to check the surveillance from last night.

They were mainly examining the factory's situation before 4 a.m. last night.

However, the factory's surveillance distribution was very unreasonable, with many blind spots.

Especially in the office building that caught fire, only the entrance could be seen.

Four detectives stared at the surveillance monitor, all engrossed.

After 2 hours, everyone shook their heads.

Through the factory's surveillance footage, within the six hours before the fire, no suspicious person was found appearing in the factory.

One officer said, "Brother, do you think it's possible that the boss himself started the fire?"

"There were simply no other people entering the chairman's office, the fire was set by him, or it was an accidental fire?"

Chen He raised his hand and touched his chin.

"The surveillance has blind spots; we don't have enough evidence to rule out others entering the fire scene."

"As for the fire's cause, I think we need to wait for the fire investigation report from the firefighters."

"If the extracted materials from the scene do not detect the presence of alcohol, gasoline, or other accelerants, the possibility of accidental fire is still significant."

Meanwhile.

In the office of the Jiangcheng City Fire Brigade.

Three uniformed firefighters were having a heated discussion.

They were all participants in last night's firefighting rescue.

On the computer desktop in front of the three were photos from the rescue scene.

"Mr. Lin, from the burning state throughout the photos, the chairman's bedroom and office are connected."

"However, the two places have a significant difference in burning severity."

"Obviously, the burning in the bedroom is much more severe; I think this is a very important point of ignition."

"The bedroom is the initial place where the fire started!"

"Therefore, I suspect that the fire initially started in the bedroom and then spread into the living room."

"As for the cause of the fire, the laboratory is conducting tests on remnants from the burn site."

Mr. Lin listened and nodded slightly; he then asked, "Wang, what's your opinion?"

Another firefighter spoke up, "Mr. Lin, my thoughts are similar to Mr. Li's, but I'd like to add something."

"Oh? Go ahead!"

"I checked the local weather forecast; when the fire occurred, the wind direction in Jiangcheng was north."

"And that office building faces south, meaning the wind should be blowing from the office into the bedroom when the fire started."

"Considering the bedroom door was open then, doesn't it suggest the fire was blowing from the office into the bedroom?"

Mr. Lin thought for a moment, then asked, "You mean the fire condition in the chairman's office wasn't spread from the bedroom, but was a separate ignition point?"

Wang nodded upon hearing this, "Mr. Lin, that's what I mean!"

Mr. Lin carefully examined the photos, comparing the burning state of items at the doors of the two rooms and the direction of the smoke on the walls. He thought Wang's analysis made a lot of sense.

He nodded, "I personally think that the chairman's office is also an independent ignition point."

In the same fire scene, there appeared two ignition points!

In an instant, a trace of horror flashed across the eyes of all three.

If there's only one ignition point at the fire scene, it might be due to a wiring short circuit, a cigarette causing local burning, or some other accidental fire.

However.

If in the same death scene there are two or more ignition points, the probability of simultaneous accidental fires becomes extremely low.

The chance of such a situation is lower than winning five million in the lottery.

If there are indeed two ignition points, there's a high probability someone committed arson at the scene.

Then, this would be a criminal case!
