"The marks extend from the jawbone to the cheeks, moving upwards. It's different for someone who was strangled to death."
Dong Huiying gestured around her neck as she demonstrated, and Ji Shiyi understood.
Finally, Dong Huiying said, "So, he didn't hang himself but was strangled. And he was strangled after he passed out, not when he was conscious."
Ji Shiyi was stunned, "How do you know that?"
Dong Huiying blinked, "It's quite obvious. Because his nails are clean and tidy, with no scratch marks. If someone is strangled while conscious, they will instinctively struggle for survival. They would either scratch themselves, scratch the assailant, or grab the rope; they would definitely try to grab something."
She spoke slowly, "Therefore, his clean nails with no residue, and the only injuries being the strangulation marks on his neck, indicate that he was strangled after passing out."
