Dossier concerning Xia Zhangshi (夏張氏), a 54-year-old woman from Shanghai, whose death on 29 January 1945 was investigated as suicide by jumping from a building. The police death report records that the incident occurred at approximately 8 p.m. at the rear entrance of No. 69, Lane 296, Jinan Road (濟南路二百九十六弄六十九號後門口), which was also her recorded place of residence.

The police investigation describes the discovery of the body and the injuries resulting from the fall and collected testimony concerning Xia Zhangshi's family and personal circumstances. The investigative narrative treats the death as 跳樓自殺 and indicates that pressures associated with her living circumstances were considered in attempting to explain the suicide, although the surviving evidence does not establish a single motive with complete certainty. The dossier subsequently passed to the Shanghai prosecutorial authorities for a formal inquest and medico-legal examination on 30 January 1945. The examination identifies the deceased as 夏張氏, aged 54, and records injuries consistent with a fall from height. The final forensic conclusion states 委係跌傷身死—that death resulted from injuries sustained in the fall.
