Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 183 It’s not suicide
There was also a piece of paper inside written in code, with a lawyer's phone number, name, address, and information about where the key to her dorm room locker was.

Xu Baiyun glanced at the bag she had placed aside. Inside were things that Fan Michelle's parents had just thrown into the trash can. Apart from that bag, everything else in Fan Michelle's closet had been thrown away. Every single item here was something Fan Michelle cherished. Many of them were gifts from her fans, each one a source of her smile and a source of sunshine in her life. If someone truly loved Fan Michelle, they wouldn't treat these things like this.

Fan Michelle went to meet that man with the determination to die. She didn't know what exactly happened or why the forensic doctor determined that Fan Michelle's death was suicide, but Xu Baiyun didn't believe it. This was definitely not the truth! Fan Michelle definitely did not commit suicide.

Xu Baiyun wiped away her tears, picked up Fan Mixue's belongings, and went to find the policeman from earlier, asking him to take her to see Fan Mixue's body.

"Are you sure you can?" the police officer asked hesitantly and with concern.

“Yes, that’s fine.” Xu Baiyun nodded firmly.

Seeing Xu Baiyun's resolute attitude, the police nodded and took her to the morgue.

Led by the police, Xu Baiyun saw Fan Mixue's body. Xu Baiyun choked up and said, "Could you let me be alone with her for a while?"
The police officer nodded, turned around and left to give Xu Baiyun space so she could say goodbye to Fan Mixue.

As Xu Baiyun approached, Fan Mixue's body, which had been submerged in water for more than ten days, was now severely swollen, making it impossible to recognize her appearance before death. Moreover, two-thirds of her face had been eaten away by fish and shrimp. However, there was a cloud-shaped red spot on her collarbone, which still made it clear that she was Fan Mixue.

Xu Baiyun took a deep breath, her grief making it hard to breathe. "Mi Xue, how could this happen? Didn't we agree to continue our studies and become world-renowned writers? Weren't you always working on a suspense novel? How could this happen?"

Xu Baiyun held her hand; it was ice-cold, no longer warm. Xu Baiyun noticed that Fan Mixue's nails looked incredibly clean.

How could this be? Xu Baiyun lifted the white cloth covering Fan Mixue and carefully examined her hands and body.

In order to write an ancient suspense novel, she specifically consulted a lot of materials, which included a lot of knowledge about autopsies.

These people all say that Fan Michelle committed suicide by drowning in the river. However, after a person enters the water, the period from difficulty breathing to clinical death usually lasts about five or six minutes. During this time, the drowning fluid is inhaled into the lungs, blocking the body's gas exchange and causing suffocation. The deceased struggles in the water and subconsciously tries to grab anything they can. Therefore, when many bodies are retrieved, they are often found holding water plants or other objects in the water, or even mud. But Fan Michelle's fingernails were very clean. Even if they performed an autopsy and processed the body afterward, they shouldn't have been so clean.

If the deceased drowned and was pulled from the water, pressing on the chest and abdomen would cause water to flow from the nose. Although the police said that Fan Mixue's body had been retrieved two days ago, it appears that there was no autopsy performed on her body, and there are no signs of autopsy at all. Xu Baiyun pressed on Fan Mixue's chest and abdomen, but there was no response at all. After examining her, Xu Baiyun concluded that Fan Mixue was in good health, young, and pregnant, and it was unlikely that she had been drinking alcohol, so the possibility of dry drowning could be basically ruled out.

After examining the surface of the body, the next step is an autopsy. This typically involves checking the trachea, bronchi, stomach, and intestines for foreign objects such as weeds or mud. The presence of weeds or mud in the small intestine is particularly important in confirming drowning. If the body was thrown into water, there might be a small amount of drowning fluid in the stomach, but it generally doesn't enter the small intestine. Following this examination, forensic pathologists usually conduct diatom analysis in the laboratory.

Diatoms are a type of planktonic organism that are widely found in water. When a drowning victim enters the water before death, they inhale water through breathing and swallowing. Diatoms then enter the respiratory tract, lungs, and bloodstream with the water and travel throughout the body via the bloodstream.

If someone drowns before death, a considerable number of diatoms can be detected in the lungs, major circulatory organs, bones, and even teeth. By comparing the diatoms detected in the deceased's body with those in the water at the scene, it can be basically determined whether the person drowned there. Therefore, diatom testing is the gold standard for forensic identification of drowning. However, there were no signs of autopsy on Fan Michelle's body, so it was impossible for these tests to have been performed.

The forensic team didn't even examine her! Fan Michelle didn't drown herself; it's even possible her body was dumped after death.

If Fan Mixue was dumped in the water, then she must have had other fatal injuries. Although Xu Baiyun wasn't a forensic doctor, she understood the basic knowledge needed for writing novels.

Xu Baiyun carefully examined Fan Mixue's body, searching for any potentially fatal wounds. Finally, she found a dented wound on the back of Fan Mixue's head!

"Found it, this is it!" Xu Baiyun pressed on that spot, and Fan Mixue's wound immediately caved in. It was very obvious that this was a fatal wound. How could it not be detected? Unless someone bribed the forensic doctor! Or Fan Mixue's body was never sent to the forensic doctor, but was intercepted en route, and a forged examination report was made.

Xu Baiyun pressed Fan Mixue's lower abdomen, and it was indeed harder than other areas. Xu Baiyun went out and asked the police for Fan Mixue's autopsy report. The police hesitated for a moment, as autopsy reports are generally not shown to people casually, but after looking around, he still showed it to her.

After carefully reviewing Fan Mixue's autopsy report, Xu Baiyun frowned. Just as she suspected! The autopsy report didn't mention that Fan Mixue was pregnant at all.

That man actually has such great power, daring to deceive everyone like this! Xu Baiyun gritted her teeth. That's right, although Shen Hongxin, the eldest young master of the Shen family, doesn't have much of a reputation or power in the capital, it's incredibly easy for him to deal with ordinary people like them. What a scumbag!

Xu Baiyun glanced at the busy people at the police station. If she told the truth now, would these police officers help her?
The policeman who had given Xu Baiyun and Fan Mixue the autopsy report noticed her unusual expression and asked, "Is there a problem? Is there something wrong with the autopsy report? I can help you with a second application." Actually, he also felt that this examination was too rushed; he remembered that in the past, these examined bodies shouldn't have been returned so quickly.

Xu Baiyun looked at him with hope in her eyes. Yes! The police had just been deceived by Shen Hongxin. She was now realizing something was wrong, and the police would definitely help her!
The knowledge about drowning comes from autopsy data. If there's anything incorrect, please don't take it too seriously, my little darlings. Love you all. (*╰╯`)
