177 The video evidence

Everyone in the office started working on their own works.

Around early afternoon the autopsy report came in and was received by Xu Beihan through fax. Quickly making copies of them Xu Beihan passed it to everyone in the office, "Take one hour to go over the report and we will have a meeting in the conference room."

Han Mi quickly turned over the report and banged her head on the table whining like a child, "Its too much for my stupid brain."

Ruihan had been to the site to talk to some people while Xu Beihan was trying to get in touch with the doctors.

Xiaoli, Zhi Ruo, and Han Mi were mainly tasked with story creation, reading the autopsy report and watching the videotape for the crime scene, and find out a way to solve things.

After one hour,

"What do you think?" Xu Beihan asked glancing at Xiaoli.

Xiaoli passed his picture frame and some other images to Xu Beihan, "If you look at the story, it is simple. The deceased was depressed sad, went all alone in a night towards the forest, and then didn't come back. But, it is this simplicity which irks me."

Xiaoli pointed towards a specific shot from the video clip from the crime scene, "This picture was taken when the deceased was going to the site of the murder."

Everyone's eyes raised and started looking towards Xiaoli. Not because of the image, because Xiaoli used the word murder. As a person working in this field since long, Xiaoli knows how serious of an offense it was to name a case as murder or suicide depending on the evidence.

It was specifically because of this that many murders would go unnoticed on the pretext of suicide and the deceased would never get any chance of getting justice.

Xiaoli played the short clip of the video where the girl was seen walking towards the forest, "Her expressions are little shy, blushing, and smiling. Something like a teenager going to meet her crush or boyfriend?"

"Then where is the other person? We saw the video right?" Xu Beihan questioned.

"Even if he contacted her with the cell phone, text, messages anything, why is there no evidence for them?" Han Mi added her doubts.

"What if the meeting was pre-decided? What if he had met her and decided the meeting time and place?" Zhi Ruo put forward her conjectures.

"It seems to be a possibility!" Xu Beihan nodded.

Han Mi passed her notes to Xu Beihan, "The autopsy report says it was due to cutting of artery close to the neck."

Going through Han Mi's report, Xu Beihan nodded, asking, "Anything else?"

Han Mi was unable to find out anything else which was related to the case or anything which would be saying something different from what they have already observed.

Han Mi's report was very simple mentioning the ins and outs of the autopsy report which was completely different from what they have expected.

"What will you do if you are about to be murdered?" Zhi Ruo asked startling everyone.

Everyone had expected a normal report from her, instead, she asked an obvious question.

Xu Beihan started at her intently.

"I will fight," Xiaoli answered.

"I will run away." Han Mi added.

"That's it! Any normal human, when encountering his own murder will run, panic, become nervous, be scared, fight and try all the ways to save or protect herself." Zhi Ruo elaborated.
