Chapter 57 The other side of the road

When Zhou Yan heard this, he was also stunned and tilted his head to look at the girl beside him.

"When did this girl run over to look at the body?" He thought, but quickly said, "No, she didn't look at the body at all.

So...

Did this girl subconsciously remember the position where the body fell when she saw it falling at the very beginning?

And incidentally estimated the distance between the body and the wall?

No way???"

Zhou Yan was thinking blindly, and Detective Liu on the side also spoke.

"Hey, I didn't expect you, a little girl, to know this." He said with interest.

Indeed, if a person jumps out of a very tall building, generally as the floor gets higher, the body will be further away from the building.

There is even an official formula, which is different in the northern and southern hemispheres.

In short, if an adult weighing about 60 to 70 kilograms falls from a height of 12 stories, his landing point will be about two meters away from the building.

Liu Chen also quickly stated this theory.

However, the next second, he changed the subject.

"But this data is not applicable to all situations." Liu Chen said: "Before people jump from a building, they will deliberately jump forward because they are afraid of hitting balconies, rain curtains, clothes drying poles and the like on the path.

If you were a man, you might even have a big jump.

This results in a horizontal speed when jumping off a building.

But there are some people who jump from buildings and don’t jump out. They just take a step forward and fall vertically.”

While saying that, Liu Chen deliberately studied on the ground.

"This kind of fall is usually caused by people who are completely disillusioned with life and are not even willing to struggle before death.

Moreover, the specific distance from the building depends on the latitude, wind strength, whether the deceased was struggling in mid-air, etc.

So just looking at the position of the body doesn't mean much."

Liu Chen just said this, but suddenly, a burst of cell phone ringing interrupted his babble.

Liu Chen picked up the phone and put it to his ear...

"Hello?"

Zhou Yan couldn't hear the voice on the phone, but he saw that Liu Chen's brows suddenly wrinkled before he said a few words.

"Is that so? Okay, I understand." He said.

"Hey, wait a minute, does the corpse wear shoes?"

"Okay, if you find new clues, contact me in time."

After saying this, Liu Chen hung up the phone.

Zhou Yan and Li Huan were listening nearby, curious in their hearts.

Finally, Zhou Yan asked tentatively: "Um...what did you say on the phone?"

Liu Chen hesitated for a moment, probably thinking that witnesses should listen for clues in case they thought of something.

So he said: "The person who transported the deceased said that a 'medical wristband' was found on the body, and... the body was not wearing shoes."

"Medical wristband?"

Zhou Yan was confused at first.

It was certain that the corpse was not wearing shoes. The shoes were left on the rooftop, so Zhou Yan was very interested in this medical wristband.

As for the medical wristband... As you can tell from the name, it is the kind of small piece of paper that is tied around the wrist of hospitalized patients.

It will record the patient's symptoms, department, name, etc.

Not only that, different wristband colors have different meanings.

For example, red means "endangered", which means this person is about to burp.

And yellow means [severe disease].

Pink is [pregnant woman] and so on.

Although this kind of wristband is just a small piece of paper, it is extremely strong, so even if the body is badly smashed, the note is still intact.

"Yes, it's a medical wristband, and it's yellow, which means this person is a patient and his condition is very serious."

Zhou Yan also nodded, which seemed to explain why the deceased wore those strange slippers.

Now that I think about it, those strange white slippers seem to be worn only by patients who are hospitalized.

"Then...where is the identity of the deceased? It should have been found out, right?" Zhou Yan asked again.

But Detective Liu shook his head: "The body is still being transported, and the identity check has definitely not started yet, but the name is already known, it is Wang Xiaoming... As for the hospital..."

Having said this, Detective Liu frowned and turned his gaze to the other side of the road.

Over there, there is an 18-story building.

"That's the hospital." Liu Chen pointed.

Zhou Yan and Li Huan naturally looked over at the same time. They were quite familiar with that hospital. It was only two streets away from the community where they lived. It wasn't too big, but it was definitely not too small either.

Zhou Yan looked at the brightly lit hospital:

"So that means that this man named Wang Xiaoming dragged his seriously ill body out of the hospital secretly, crossed the road, ran to the building on the other side of the road, and then jumped off the building?"

Liu Chen thought for a while: "If you follow the normal direction of thinking, it is indeed like this. After all, it is definitely not easy to go up to the rooftop of the hospital. If you jump directly from the window of the ward or corridor, you are likely to be discovered by people around you. So.

It is also reasonable to run to another building and jump off the building.

But there are still too many doubts. Besides, who is Wang Xiaoming, what disease did he have, and why he jumped from the building... Anyway, there are still many things that have not been clarified, and we cannot jump to conclusions yet."

As he spoke, Liu Chen tidied up his windbreaker.

"Let's go... let's go to that hospital."

...

In this way, everyone's investigation location was suddenly transferred from this old office building to the hospital across the road.

However, the only people crossing the road this time were Zhou Yan, Li Huan, Liu Chen, and two police officers. The rest stayed at the office building.

In any case, the office building is the first place where corpses are found, so it is definitely right to leave more people.

While crossing the road, Zhou Yan also noticed that Liu Chen had been paying attention to the traffic monitor above his head. He probably wanted to see if these monitors could capture the scene of the deceased crossing the road.

Sure enough, Liu Chen soon said something to a police officer, presumably asking him to contact the traffic department and investigate the surveillance videos of the past few days.

The road was not very wide, less than ten meters at most, so it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the back door of the hospital.

As soon as the door opens...
