[Very well. She'll touch the simulation button and conjure up a young woman lying on the table, covered by a sheet. If Shi Qingxuan removes the sheet, she'll see that she has a wound through the center of her chest.]
Most wounds won't continue to bleed after death, since blood is no longer circulating through the body. If it was soon after death, you might have a little bleeding.
But even if the heart isn't circulating blood, internal bleeds are still susceptible to gravity. Since she was lying on her back, it started to pool.
[she rolls her gently back over and looks away from the immediately obvious stab wound, checking for anything else that might look amiss. how's her face? eyes, lips, mouth...? she'll ease them open very carefully to check.]
[just taking note of what these signs of poison are in case people disregard harrow's advice to not accept gifts later on this week and someone gets poisoned with a toblerone or something]
I see... I guess someone who was just looking casually would assume she'd died of being stabbed, though.

anyway she leans over to get a better look at the wound. what's the general shape and size of it?]

Was... she stabbed after she died? And it made the bruising like that because her heart wasn't beating, so the blood didn't leave her body...?

This... is similar to what was found on Omi, I imagine?
