Chapter 670: 221: Peeling silk from the cocoon, key evidence! _4



They were talking about professional terminology, which was difficult for laymen to understand.

“Matthew, Gage, Bob, you three, put aside what you are doing for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, the three looked up, “Captain.”

The Captain continued: “This is Miss Thompson, she and Officer Kim want to take a look at James’ body.”

The three looked at Viola, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Matthew smiled at Ling, “Ling, did your team get a new member?”

Ling replied, “Miss Thompson is an expert I specifically invited.”

“Is Miss Thompson also studying forensic medicine?” Upon hearing this, not only was Matthew surprised, but Gage and Bob were astonished too.

The reason being that Viola looked too young.

Although Viola was wearing a blue aseptic garment and a mask, one could still tell from her beautiful peach blossom eyes that she was not very old, at most seventeen or eighteen years old.

The captain explained, “Miss Thompson is the computer whiz who cracked the Olivia Cooper case last time.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three immediately showed admiration.

They had heard that the Great Master was very young and beautiful, but they didn’t expect her to be even younger and more beautiful than they thought.

Even wearing isolation clothes couldn’t conceal her noble temperament.

Bob immediately asked, “Does Miss Thompson have a boyfriend?”

Ling said somewhat speechlessly, “Why do you have so much to say, just take us to see James’ body.”

Bob immediately composed himself, “Ling, this way.”

Viola, Ling, and the Captain followed Bob’s footsteps.

There were several bodies covered with white cloth in the autopsy room.

Bob led them to one of the bodies and stopped.

“This is James’ body,” before uncovering the white cloth, Bob reminded in advance, “Miss Thompson, prepare yourself mentally.”

Ling had already seen James’ body before, so naturally she wasn’t afraid.

So, the only person who was most likely to faint here was Viola.

After all, Viola was so young.

She might not have even seen a dead person, let alone a terrifying murder victim!

Viola nodded slightly.

Bob directly lifted the white cloth.

Just when everyone thought that Viola would be frightened and scream, she not only showed no fear but also walked to the body to check the victim’s mouth and nose.

She was extremely calm.

There was no fear in her handsome eyes; as if what was in front of her was not a terrifying body but a beautiful landscape painting.

Her reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations.

No one thought Viola would be so calm.

Even the Captain was surprised by Viola!

He had worked in the forensic department for so many years and had never seen such a brave young girl before.

Viola carefully examined the wounds on James’ body.

There were more than twenty wounds on James’ body.

However, the only fatal wound was one.

It was the carotid artery on the neck.

After examining all the injuries, Viola looked at Ling, “The weapon was not just that kitchen knife.”

“How so?”

As soon as these words came out, not only was Ling somewhat surprised, even the Captain and others in the forensic department were also taken aback.

After all, even they hadn’t discovered that there were wounds on James’ body caused by other weapons.

Viola pointed at James’ arm and said, “The injuries here range from shallow to deep, with the shallowest being only a few millimeters and the deepest being five centimeters. It is obvious that it was caused by a quick swipe of a fruit knife or a utility knife. If it had been chopped directly with a kitchen knife, the wound should not have presented in this manner.”

Most importantly, all other slash wounds on James’ body were deep enough to see the bone, but not this one.

“Is it possible that he dodged it?” Ling suggested.

If he had dodged the blow, the kitchen knife wound wouldn’t have been so deep.

Viola nodded, “James did dodge, but he avoided the non-fatal kitchen knife slashes, not the slash wounds on his arm. Moreover, the force exerted by a kitchen knife and a fruit knife is different. The blade of a kitchen knife is much longer so even if he dodged it, the cut would be deeper and rougher. Fruit knives are sharper, so the wound would be much shallower.”

Having said that, Viola continued, “There are a total of twenty-two wounds on James’ body, among which the slash on his neck is the most severe, almost one fatal blow! The cervical vertebrae were almost severed, indicating that the suspect was quick and ruthless. Moreover, James was caught off guard by the suspect’s attack! If the suspect had attacked James before, there would have been more than just the slash wounds on his arm! He would have dodged again, but James didn’t. So, I guess, after the suspect chopped James’ neck with one blow, James lost the ability to counterattack and fell directly on the ground. That’s why the suspect was able to successfully chop more than twenty knives afterward! The suspect already knew James wouldn’t survive and yet still chopped him so many times, indicating that they really hated James.”
