"Did it fracture at the time of the fire?"
This simple question made the four of them instantly understand.
However, curiously, Zhang Yean asked, "How did you determine that?"
Jiang An analyzed, saying, "If this rib fractured due to debris falling from the ceiling after the fire started."
"Then the fracture's broken end should have the same degree of burn as the surface of the rib."
"After all, when ribs are burned, their surfaces become blackened by smoke."
"The bone marrow inside human ribs should be white."
"Therefore, when fire causes objects to fall, the blunt force resulting in fracture would have a break surface noticeably different in color than the rest of the rib's surface."
After Jiang An's explanation, Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, Zhang Yean, and Wan all nodded.
As the saying goes, the truth is simple, though none of the four had studied medicine.
Yet, Jiang An's detailed explanation made them instantly grasp the reasoning.
