Look at those handprints with fake blood.

Where will they lead us?

There is another set of footprint here.

According to its size and pattern,

it's must be a woman's footprint.

From the plate number, we have figured out that the owner of this car is Jiang Tian, Tao Zi's high school classmate.

Lao Qin, we found a few strands of hair.

Last night, I even tried to frighten her.

Officer, you can investigate me, but you must bring some solid evidence in hand.

Jiang Tian had a girlfriend in high school.

She died because of Tao Zi.

This girl looks so much like Tian Yun.

If someone who's died because of her showed up in front of her, it could trigger a heart attack.

This is the evidence that Jiang Tian changed the pills.

What is that?

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By Dr. Qin Forensic Team @ Viki

The crime scene is over there but it's cordoned off all the way up to here. Isn't it too far?

The bigger the scene, the more difficult it is. There must be a reason for having it that large.

Let's go.

This is Dr. Tao from our neighboring city.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Where is the corpse?

The corpse isn't here.

It isn't here?

This case took place on the border of our both cities.

It was first reported to our neighboring city so they are at the scene earlier than us.

However, this area is actually under our jurisdiction.

So Dr. Tao is here to handover the case to us.

This is my first time coming across a case like this. Why did you call a forensic investigator without a corpse?

Who reported the case last night?

It was a couple. They were camping by the pond.

They heard rustling sounds in the reeds and saw a huge ghostly shadow.

The police got here right after receiving the report.

They found a male body floating face up in the pond.

How tall was the ghostly shadow?

According to their statements, it was much taller than an average man.

It was about two meters tall. It's not normal at all.

What was the situation at the crime scene like?

His head was on shore and his face was stained with blood.

From his chest down, the rest of his body was submerged underwater.

Our staff was about to move the body from the water

when they discovered that he was still warm.

He also had a very weak pulse.

So our officers carried him to the road and sent him in an ambulance.

We performed CPR on the way there but it was no use.

When we got to the hospital since the victim suffered a blunt force trauma on his head,

we conducted a CT scan.

His skull was smashed.

Depressed fracture corresponding to brain tissue contusion that caused intracranial hemorrhaging.

That usually happens in a fight.

It could also be caused from a fall.

A craniotomy was scheduled yesterday

but he died before the surgery.

What are the technical difficulties in this case?

First of all, we have yet to confirm where the victim came from.

Second, we did a preliminary exam of the body at the hospital.

The victim had an asterisk shaped wound on his head.

It is difficult to figure out what caused the wound.

At the moment, we see it as an accident or a suicide.

However, from a forensic investigator's point of view,

it's difficult to explain that asterisk-shaped wound.

Why is it hard to explain from a forensic point of view?

There's bruising beneath the asterisk-shaped contusion.

This could have been caused by the impact of the victim's head hitting the ground

and the angle of impact resulted in displacement.

This displacement caused the skin and bones to shift.

It then tore apart the skin tissue and resulted in bruising.

Bruising does form easily from falls.

Displacement caused by falls

would normally leave dirt residue in the wound.

But we didn't find any in the victim's wound.

I'll go take a look.

There are a lot of shoe prints.There must be over a hundred.

We've already taken photos of them.

Some shoe prints were sabotaged by the police when they went to rescue the victim. Some are still quite clear.

We extended the crime scene in order to search for more useful shoe prints.

Are the prints verified?

There are only a few people doing trace evidence in our neighboring city.

They could only do some simple notes and photo taking.

We'll run through the prints when we get back.

How tall was the victim?

About 168 cm tall.

That doesn't match what the couple reported at all.

The shortest reed is at least 175 cm while the tallest is over 200 cm.

Was the body lying here?

You're right. When they found the body, he had blood all over his face.

But when I saw him, his face had already been cleaned up by the doctor.

If the victim fell to his death here, it would have been impossible to not be stained by mud.

Not necessarily. There are many cobblestones here.

If the victim fell and hit a cobblestone,

it could have also caused displacement and a wound on the head.

If so, he wouldn't have gotten muddy.

What's more, the doctor cleaned up. It's still possible

we won't find mud in his wound.

But according to your theory, there should be blood on the cobblestones.

We inspected all the cobblestones in the area and didn't find any with blood.

No cobblestones were stained with blood and there's no mud in his wound..

All of these contradict our theory.

Unless this isn't the first crime scene.

It seems like a coincidence but we can't rule out another possibility.

The blood-stained cobblestone could have been kicked in the water when the police were saving the victim.

We'll leave the investigation to you

while we head to do a preliminary examination of the corpse.

The victim isn't tall. Why would they say they saw a huge silhouette?

It's possible to be misled by shadows

in dark places at night.

I haven't figured that part out either.

When we examined the corpse, we noticed a few puncture wounds on his right arm.

These could have either been caused during injections during resuscitation

or the murderer injected the victim with poison.

These wounds were made prior to his death

so we can't determine the cause from a forensic point of view. We need to verify with the hospital

about how many injections were given during resuscitation and if he had a cardiac pacing.

I've already asked them. He had five injections and cardiac pacing.

I checked and there were five punctures.

The blunt force trauma caused an asterisk-shaped wound.

He could have been hit by a flat, blunt weapon

or a protruding asterisk-shaped weapon.

Within the wound, tissue bridgings are visible.

The skin on the forehead is thin, so we can see the skull.

The periosteum over his skull is intact. There's no breakage so it couldn't have been a protruding weapon.

This had to be caused by a blunt weapon

like a cobblestone.

It wouldn't have been easy for the murderer to remove such a large cobblestone from the scene.

However, if the police happened to kick

the stone into the water,

then wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence?

We'll have to see what Sergeant Lin discovers.

Sergeant Lin.

Keep searching.

We've already searched the area.

We didn't find anything.

Get our men to search again. Pay attention to blood on cobblestones.

Yes.

The victim's periosteum is intact. It's just a simple fracture.

This proves that the fracture was caused

by a blunt, flat weapon.

The victim was hit on the head while he was still moving. It caused a head fracture.

It's possible there was also contrecoup injury to brain tissue.

The cause of death does seem to be an accidental fall.

But contrecoup injuries don't usually result in asterisk-shaped wounds.

Asterisk-shaped injuries are usually the result of a traumatic injury to the brain.

What's more, brain contusions that are treated in time shouldn't result in death.

The victim passed out by the pond. Intracranial hemorrhage caused a progressive bleed out

as shown on this CT scan. It was impossible to revive him.

There are some nail marks on his arm.

It would have been difficult to do that to himself from this angle.

Yes and he was held on both sides. The thumb is on the outer edge when someone else grabs you.

When you grab yourself, the thumb is on the inner arm. It's very difficult to do it on the same arm though.

So it's unlikely that the victim did it himself.

It's hard to say that it was related to his death.

He could have had an argument with his family

before leaving home and falling to death.

We can't tell if his death was an accident yet.

He has a very obvious mark on his waist.

I've seen people with tattoos of centipedes, but not crabs.

Maybe his last name sounds similar to centipede or crab?

Unique tattoos can help us identify the victim but not the cause of death.

- Dabao, let's perform the autopsy. - Sure.

We can't perform an autopsy yet.

Why not?

Because we still haven't identified the victim yet.

Once he's identified, we have to inform his family and get their consent.

So we still have to wait a while.

In the code of Criminal Procedures, the public security organs

has the authority to perform an autopsy on corpses with an uncertain cause of death. It's our right.

And if we can't perform an autopsy because the family doesn't allow it,

then what if the family was the murderer?

It's also stated in the Criminal Procedure Law that we have to notify the victim's family.

It's also stated in the Provisions on the Public Security Organs' Handling of Criminal Cases

that should the victim's family refuse to show up or can't be found,

we just need to note that in our statements.

Chief Qin, the victim's family is here.

Good. Inform them that we're going to do an autopsy now.

We can't do that yet.

- Why? - The victim's family didn't agree.

Chief Qin.

What you said previously only applies to criminal cases.

That means we have to prove that his death was not an accident or suicide first

before exercising that right.

Are we not trying to prove it by examining his cause of death?

Can you be sure it's a criminal case right now?

In terms of forensics, the clues at hand

aren't sufficient enough to make such a judgement.

You're right. After the body has been refrigerated,

some unseen injuries will appear on the surface.

Let's give it more time then.

I won't sign. I don't agree!

Why do you get to decide to do an autopsy?

Did you ask me first?

Your father's cause of death is still unknown. The police need to investigate thoroughly.

My dad has mental health issues.

After he had an attack yesterday, he ran off by himself to the reed pond.

I told him many times before but he didn't listen to me.

Now he has fallen and killed himself. That's the truth.

We will know if that's the truth or not after our investigation.

He will be cremated if I say so. He is already dead!

You won't even let his body be intact?

No one is allowed to touch his body!

This is the typical mentality of a murderer trying to destroy the corpse.

I'll sue you if you dare!

The victim is already at a disadvantage.

We're the only ones who can help him.

If your father was murdered, we won't let the culprit go.

Then answer me. What evidence have you found so far?

You're trying to open up the corpse without any evidence? How can he rest in peace?

You can write down your opinions.

We will take care of it for you as soon as possible.

Hello, Director General.

Is everyone present?

Let's begin.

Director General Tan and experts. Let me brief you on a few points.

We found out the dead body yesterday afternoon.

We found testing materials in the suspect victim's home and ran DNA tests.

The DNA department just sent a report back

and confirmed that the victim was indeed a resident of our city.

Xie Qingong, male, 53 years old.

He ran a small brick kiln. He made about 100,000 yuan a year.

His neighbors said that he seemed to suffer from mania.

Is there any evidence to prove it?

We can be certain of it. We found records of his purchases of mania medication.

According to a surveillance video, the victim was seen buying medication at a pharmacy yesterday afternoon.

Then he went to his son's for dinner.

His son was adopted.

His name is Xie Hao. He's known to others as his godson.

He raised him by himself. The biological parents never cared for him.

The son is now the owner of the brick kiln.

Director General Tan!

Director General Tan!

Xie Hao is such a troublemaker.

He said that Xie Qingong had dinner with him last night.

Then he had a relapse of mania and insisted on going home.

He didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't until this afternoon that he was notified of his father's death.

Here.

Director General Tan, look.

Xie Hao's home is here

and this is the crime scene.

Xie Hao's house isn't far from the crime scene.

Xie Qingong's house is about two kilometers north of Xie Hao's.

Since around there are only remote areas, there aren't any surveillance cameras.

We have no way of knowing why Xie Qingong went west into the reeds.

If someone is delirious, they could lose their direction.

You're right. We can't rule out that Xie Qingong got lost and ended up at the reed pond.

However, I think Xie Hao is very suspicious.

He reacted too aggressively.

Do you have evidence?

Not yet.

However, he already demanded that the body should be cremated before the true cause of his father's death was found.

Could it be due to his mania attack

that he went to the pond and used the stones to smash his own head?

That could have caused his injury. Or perhaps it was rainy and slippery and he fell and hurt himself?

Director General Tan, what're your thoughts on this?

How about this?

The Trace Evidence Section has confirmed the victim's radius of activity and locked down the crime scene.

Go and take a look.

Yes!

Investigating the scene saves me from getting hemorrhoids.

The Trace Evidence Section spent the entire afternoon to search through Reed Pond again.

Not many people would come here so there isn't much to fish out.

We're not worried that there isn't much to look through because every item could play a significant role.

Have you found any fresh shoe prints?

You're right. They did find many shoe prints here. It rained that day so the soil was soft.

So all the shoe prints are useful evidence.

What are the matches?

All the shoe prints came from the same pair of shoes.

It means that only one person came to Reed Pond.

And that person didn't walk around just once, but many times.

You mean all these circles of shoe prints came from one pair of shoes?

That's right. Judging from the direction the shoes prints pointed to,

this person walked around the inner and outer rings of Reed Pond four times.

The shoe prints then disappear near where the victim was found.

The prints disappeared because they were covered by other shoe prints.

We've compared the shoes of the police officers and informants

and found that their's match the other prints.

If anyone followed the victim here to Reed Pond,

he would have also left some shoe prints behind

even if he didn't follow the victim around the pond.

But we didn't find such prints.

But if he left by walking through the pond,

then he wouldn't leave any prints.

No. Even if he did walk in the water,

he would have needed to go ashore. And as long as he did, he would have left prints.

But we didn't find any shoe prints.

Could the murderer and victim have the same pair of shoes then?

The same kind of shoe would leave the same pattern

but the soles wouldn't have worn out to the same degree.

Therefore, the shoe prints would still differ.

That's right.

When they discovered the body, was he wearing shoes?

That is the problem. When we found the victim, he was barefoot.

However, we didn't find any footprints that match that. That's why we find it strange.

I told them to search near the pond for traces.

Were his feet clean?

That doesn't prove anything.

When the victim was discovered, the lower half of his body was in the water.

Even if his feet were clean previously, there would turn dirty after soaking in the pond.

Even if his feet were dirty, they wouldn't be as dirty after soaking in the water.

Sergeant Lin!

Sergeant Lin, look.

The pattern and wear on this pair of shoes match the shoe prints we found.

I get it. The victim could have fallen over there

and then he accidentally sunk his own shoes into the pond.

We only found them now as they were underwater.

Xiao Hei, send them to the lab.

Yes!

We only found a pair of shoes.There isn't a second set of footprints.

Judging from that alone, the victim came to Reed Pond by himself.

If so, this case is either an accident or suicide.

It sounds flawless.

What's more, the investigation team didn't find anything contradictory either.

But I still find it suspicious.

I am just as doubtful about it.

Let's discuss this when we find the evidence.

Please take a look. Xie Qingong was last captured on this video before his death. He just left the pharmacy

and bought medicine. This means that he had taken his medicine that night.

He took medication but still had a mania relapse? That's illogical.

He bought the medication but it doesn't mean he took it. He could have forgotten

or the doctor told him to take it before bed.

Could this really be an accident? It might not be as complicated as we think.

According to the statements taken by the police,

the victim rarely had any relapses of mania.

The medication prevented it.

Even when he did have a relapse, he usually came to his senses in half an hour.

Let's assume he was able to walk to Reed Pond from his home in half an hour.

Even so, he walked around Reed Pond again and again. It would have taken at least an hour.

That was enough time for him to come back to his senses.

Since he came around, why didn't he go home?

Those are just speculations.They don't count as evidence.

Would it be "Ghost pounding the wall"?

It's when someone walks alone in the wilderness especially in places close to tombstones.

It feels as if you're going in circles and you just can't get out.

There's no such thing.

The so called "Ghost Pounding the Wall" is just that when one walks alone in the fields at night,

they lose their sense of direction so they keep going in circles.

It happens when a person is confused.

Xiao Hei. That idea of yours is so unreliable.

If we conclude that all unknown cases are ghost traps,

then our final reports will be very interesting to read.

Let's take a look at photos of the corpse.

There are some nail marks on the victim's forearm. Those are fresh wounds before his death.

I tried doing it and it's very difficult to make such marks on myself.

Director General Tan. I need to perform an autopsy of the corpse tomorrow.

I'm afraid that the nail marks weren't convincing evidence for a homicide case.

The victim's family strongly opposes to an autopsy. We can't carry it out by force.

Sure. Let's take a look at

what the police's body cameras filmed.

This was when the victim was first found.

When the police found him, there was no dirt on the front of his shirt.

If he had fallen face down and smashed his forehead on the ground,

there would have been mud on the front of his shirt.

Apart of this, we have noticed one another thing.

We made a new discovery about the blood flow pattern.

As shown on the screen, there was string-shaped blood on his forehead.

The blood flowed from the wound to the top of his head. Allow me to demonstrate it.

The victim's wound was on his forehead. That means he fell down on his belly.

However, when we found his body he was laying on his back.

If the victim shifted his position, there are two possibilities.

One.

He fell down on his belly first. Then, through sitting up and standing up, he became lying on his back.

Then through this process, the blood would have flowed from his head to his nose and mouth.

Second.

He fell face down first. Then, through turning on his side, he became lying on his back.

The blood would have flowed from the wound to the side of his head.

Third.

He fell face down first. Then, through a position like this, he became lying on his back.

The flow of the blood would be like shown in the photo, from the wound to the top of his head.

But that's invalid.

Perhaps, after he fell, he did handstands for a while?

What kind of action would have caused this kind of blood flow?

If this blood flow pattern wasn't done by the person himself,

then it's done by someone else.

For example, being carried over the shoulder. Xiao Hei, do me a favor.

Due to the fact that the victim was unconscious at that point in time,

It would be natural that his four limbs and head are hanging downwards.

Then, the blood would have flowed from the forehead to the top of the head.

Xiao Hei, please turn around.

The victim's head and the murderer's hip

Would have been at the same height. So looking at it from this perspective,

It would have seemed like a tall, headless shadow in the dark.

That makes sense.

There's one more thing I don't understand.

Why is there only one type of footprint at the crime scene?

Why is there only one type of footprint?

Why would the blood flow to the scalp?

What kind of murderer would kill someone halfway and abandon it?

We can't explain any of these questionable points. But I think as long as questionable points exist

Then public security organs have the right to an autopsy.

Okay.

Tomorrow, perform the autopsy and examine it.

Notify Xie Hao, tell him to be present.

If he refuses to be present, note that on the statement.

Yes.

Sure enough, after being frozen, some bruises have resurfaced. Both of the nail marks are bruised.

It can be seen that there was subcutaneous hemorrhaging.

The victim could have been restrained before he died.

Prepare for the autopsy.

The hospital already gave the time of death.

Should we still extract the contents from the stomach?

We should. Although the contents from the stomach won't help with the estimation of time of death,

but it can still confirm what he ate and who he ate it with before he died.

Okay.

There're no signs of abnormality in his abdominal cavity.

Can we open his skull now?

- Get ready to open his skull. - Okay.

There's bleeding under the epicranial aponeurosis.

It's probably caused by pulling his hairs. A straight up blunt force to the head wouldn't have caused something like this.

Why can't we see it in the CT scan?

The victim's bleeding is mostly at the top of his head.

CT scans don't show the top of heads very well.

It's also because we put all our force on the skull fracture and the intracranial hemorrhaging.

It's a radial skull fracture.

Right now, I'm even more certain that this was a homicide.

Really?

Look. The victim's skull fracture is complicated. It was caused by several hits to the head.

Although a radial skull fracture could also have been caused by a single hit but look carefully here.

There's more than one central point in this radial skull fracture.

Also, there are signs of smaller radial fractures that come from different central points that are cut off.

If fracture lines have cuts between each other,

then the victim's head had several impacts, not just one.

It further rules out the possibility of this case being an accident

because a person cannot fall on the same spot over and over again.

Then could it have been caused from several hits to the head?

Injuries have to be looked at as a whole. The victim had bleeding to his epicranial aponeurosis.

These kinds of injuries can only come from pulling out his hair. It's not possible that it's from multiple hits.

Meaning, if you take the two injuries and looked at them together,

the victim was probably pulled by his hair and then hit on the surface continuously.

These actions can cause deceleration in his head,

thus inflicting a deceleration injury.

I still have two questions.

Why did the murderer not kill the victim? Abandoning him while he's alive isn't usual.

Furthermore, why is there only one footprint at the crime scene?

Don't rush. We've thought about this question too.

Until we go to the reed pond again, we've pretty much got it figured out now.

We'll explain it to the team.

You two have worked hard.

The results are out. Notify the Director General for a meeting.

Yes.

First, let me explain how the victim died.

His arms were restrained and he was pushed to the ground.

He was grabbed by his hair and was continuously smashed on the ground.

After he was severely injured, he was abandoned in the wilderness, where he died from lack of treatment.

You still haven't answered my question earlier.

After the murderer caused severe injuries to the victim,

the victim's lost mobility due to craniocerebral injury.

It would have seemed like he was dead.

This made the murderer mistaken, thinking that the victim was already dead.

This shows that the murderer was very flustered while committing the crime.

Now, there only remains one piece of evidence that shows this case was a suicide.

That is, there are only footprints going in and none coming out.

Let me show you a photo.

Is this the murderer's?

No. It's mine.

This is so weird. Why are there only footprints going in and none coming out?

Wait a moment.

What is this?

- Footprints? - Right.

You just made that. It's only been 15 seconds, how come it's not that clear anymore?

Because it's been covered with water.

I've been wondering if it was possible that the murderer didn't wear shoes while leaving.

But rather, he left very shallow footprints that could have disappeared easily.

For example, sock prints.

Sock prints?

Let me try.

Let's wait for a while.

After three hours, the sock prints have completely disappeared.

So according to my speculations, the murderer thought that the victim had died, then he

carried the victim on his shoulders, intending to dump the victim in a remote area.

One second. I have a question.

If the murderer carried the victim on his shoulders,

would the blood on his head not drip onto the floor?

There wasn't much blood from the head injury.

Even if it dripped, it would have dripped onto a muddy ground.

It's very hard to discover it.

Then, how would you explain the back-and-forth rounds made in the reeds?

The murderer was probably looking for a safe spot to abandon the body.

The murderer was indecisive.

It wasn't until the couple made some noises and alerted him,

that he left the victim near the pond.

Then, in his flustered mood, he chose to run away. During that, he even lost his shoe but was too flustered to even put it on.

So the murderer left the reed pond wearing socks?

That's right.

Between the pond and the roads, there's a small path.

I think the murderer left the scene from that small path.

Not long after he left, the police arrived. Those shoeprints

had covered the sock prints, so you weren't able to find anything.

This is a very plausible speculation.

The crime scene is so vast, yet the sock prints are so shallow.

Usually, when we look for traces, we look for shoe prints or footprints.

If it was sock prints, it's indeed very hard to discover.

It looks like our questionable points have all been cleared.

Qin Ming, can you profile the suspect of this crime?

I think it's the victim's godson, Xie Hao.

What evidence do you base that off of?

First, earlier we kept mentioning

that the murderer was very flustered during the entire crime.

This means that he might have a close relationship with the victim.

On the other hand, I think the first crime scene is indoors.

Why is it indoors?

According to the speculations earlier, there was only one pair of shoes found at the crime scene.

This pair of shoes belonged to the murderer, meaning the victim wasn't wearing shoes.

In what kind of environment would an elder not wear shoes? I think it's indoors.

Also, Xie Hao's reaction was very unusual.

He was in a hurry to cremate the body and even objected to an autopsy.

I'll add on to that. Xie Qingong didn't have any other relatives. Also, his social connections aren't complicated.

It looks like the suspect isn't far.

So the actual crime scene is in Xie Hao's house?

I think so.

According to the suspicions mentioned, I request to immediately search Xie Hao's house.

We should also show the shoes we found at the crime scene to Xie Hao's friends

and see if those were his usual shoes.

It looks like the place has been thoroughly cleaned.

The more a place is cleaned up, the more evidence we can find in cracks.

Hand me the solution.

It looks like this is indeed the first crime scene.

Look at this closely. Have you seen this pair of shoes before?

It looks very familiar.

I think Xie Hao wore these shoes before.

That's right. It has blue shoelaces.

That's right. These are Xie Hao's shoes.

- Tell me, why did you kill him?

No, officer. I-I didn't kill him.

I'm very very thankful to him.

I know, it was very difficult for him to raise me from a child to now.

Actually, I'm usually very very filial to him.

You're filial? Do you not remember the fuss you made at the funeral home?

Tell me the process.

He went to my my place for dinner the evening before yesterday.

Dad, come here to finish your dinner and then you can take the pills.

No, I won't eat.

Do you know that he was sick? He would skip his medication in order to save on the expenses

When he acted up, he would scream and hit others.

No one could stand him.

If you don't take medication, how can you control your illness?

The doctor said that if you want to cure yourself of mania,

you need to spend a lot of money. How about this? Let's apply for a mortgage?

We could improve the production capability of the factory, which can make us more money to get you medication.

I just wanted to do more for him. I wanted to expand our business.

Our brick business couldn't expand because of him.

But he's the legal owner of the business. I couldn't do anything without his consent!

Everything I did was out of filial piety.

Forget it! Do you think that I don't know what you're up to?

That day, before I even said anything he seemed to have gone mad.

He hit me and scolded me.

How dare you fight back, bastard!

Dad! Dad! Old man, you won't have your meals and medication...

What are you doing? Dad, let go of me!

It really was an accident.

Bullshit. This is the autopsy report.

The cause of death is clearly written on it.

Are you still going to lie to me?

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By Dr. Qin Forensic Team @ Viki

Will-o'-the-wisp?

It's gone viral. They said that blue flames suddenly appeared on the lake.

The victim's face is almost skeletonized. The right side of the corpse is skeletonized.

The limbs are decomposed. Skin on both his arms and right foot has almost peeled off.

However, his left foot isn't decomposed.

5 cm above his ankle lies a sharp dividing line.

The victim is Lu Zhen, 13 years old. He went missing five days ago.

This isn't an accident. It's a homicide.

After our examination, we discovered that when he was killed,

he had many different wounds on him.

First, there's an obvious wound on his brow ridge.

Only severe beating could cause that.

The second type of wound was oval-shaped wound.

The third type of wound appeared on his lower abdomen and lower limbs. It's this type of U-shaped wound.

We can't rule out multiple suspects.

We can't rule out multiple habitual suspects either.
