Chapter 27 The Cunning Murderer(1/2)
Under Lin Xinyi's pressing pressure, Ishikawa's psychological defense completely collapsed.
This unique "detective" is not reasoning, but listing the evidence step by step.
In the face of these iron-clad evidences, sophistry is completely powerless.
But Ishikawa was still unwilling.
He was obviously only one step away from escaping guilt, so how could he fall here:
"No...no...I'm innocent!"
"If you don't believe it, go to the mall and check the surveillance -"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Ishikawa grabbed this last straw:
"The surveillance camera didn't even capture Aoki and I entering the mall!"
"Since you said that Uchida was killed by me and thrown down from the building, then you should explain..."
"How did I transport the body to the roof of the department store without being caught on surveillance?"
Ishikawa asked hysterically.
This is his carefully planned cover-up, and it is also his last trump card.
He worked so hard to set up such a murderous plot. If he wanted to catch him, the other party should solve the mystery first, right?
Ishikawa has always thought this way.
However, facing his question, Lin Xinyi smiled disdainfully:
"Huh... You're trying to do such a little trick, and you still have to explain it to me?"
"The detective has seen too much!"
"In reality, the more complex the killing method, the easier it is to leave traces."
Years of work experience have taught Lin Xinyi that in reality, the most difficult cases to investigate are often those murder cases with extremely simple techniques:
The murderer and the deceased did not know each other. For some reason, he stabbed him, turned around and ran away.
If there were no surveillance at the scene, this kind of case would be even more frustrating for investigators.
As for those idiots who claim to be smart and try their best to create alibi for themselves. Not only do they not run away after killing someone, but they also pretend to stay at the scene pretending nothing is wrong...
Nine out of ten were in jail, and the remaining one was sentenced to death.
In Lin Xin's eyes, Ishikawa was even more of an idiot among idiots:
"You only think about using blindfold methods to confuse the eyes of investigators, but you don't think about how to deal with the eyes of science at all."
"Let me explain your killing method?"
"Why do I need an explanation?"
Lin Xinyi smiled dismissively and said:
"The deceased was proven to have died of homicide, and by measuring the body temperature, his true time of death can be further confirmed."
"There are scraps of your skin in the dead man's fingernails, and there are scratch marks on your body left by the dead man."
"What's more, you probably can't produce an alibi for the deceased's true time of death, right?"
"So...it's you who need to explain now!"
The cause of death can be determined, the time of death can be determined, and there are skin flakes that can be used to determine the DNA of the murderer.
Ishikawa could only provide his alibi for the time of "Uchida's suicide", but he could not provide his alibi for the actual time of Uchida's death.
A complete chain of evidence has been formed.
There is no need to know the killing method at all, it is enough to convict Ishikawa.
"Why, how could this happen..."
"My methods are completely useless."
Ishikawa fell completely into despair and collapsed:
This is a trick he came up with after watching 1,000 episodes of "Detective Zuo Moji"...
How could you just take me down without going through the process, without even deciphering the murder method?
This is unreasonable!
And having said that, although Lin Xinyi regarded him as a fool among fools, Ishikawa actually thought very shrewdly.
Because there are very few forensic doctors in Japan, and family members generally feel that the deceased is too old and are resistant to autopsies, the autopsy rate of unnatural deaths in Japan has been less than 12% for many years.
In other words, as long as you have some professional knowledge and put in some effort to disguise the murder scene as a suicide, there is a 90% chance that the murderer will escape investigation.
And the above is still real-world data.
In this world where the Metropolitan Police Department's capabilities are infinitely weakened, the coroner has no sense of existence, and the probability of success in pretending to commit suicide is even greater.
A "careful person" like Ishikawa not only faked the suicide scene, but also knew how to forge an alibi...
As long as you are not unlucky enough to meet a famous detective, it would be too easy to fool him.
But this time, he was extremely unlucky to meet the famous detective Kudo Shinichi.
But what Ishikawa never expected was that the famous detective he was guarding against did not catch him, but a weirdo who stared at the corpse in a daze gave him a fatal blow.
Ishikawa simply cannot accept this unexpected situation:
"No, no...I'm not a murderer..."
"The famous detective Kudo Shinichi confirmed that Uchida died of suicide!"
"Heisei Sherlock Holmes said so... Uchida must have committed suicide!"
Ishikawa roared hysterically.
It was as if the "affirmation" from a famous detective could help him make a comeback in such a desperate situation.
"Hey hey..."
"Don't involve me when you're in a hurry..."
Kudo Shinichi on the side was shocked when he heard:
What is "Kudo Shinichi confirmed that Uchida died of suicide"...
I lied to you, okay?
How could I not see such a simple trick!
You yelling like this will make people misunderstand my intelligence...
Sure enough, after Ishikawa's yelling, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of onlookers:
"What? Kudo Shinichi is also here?!"
The great detective who had been playing soy sauce for a long time was finally discovered.
But this time the gaze shining on him was no longer one of admiration, but a burst of surprise:
"It turns out he didn't see through the truth at all..."
"Even great detectives sometimes lose to criminals!"
"..."
Hearing these whispers, Kudo Shinichi covered his face helplessly:
Feng Ping was harmed, Feng Ping was harmed!
Kudo Shinichi was a little angry, but he was helpless:
Who made him completely lose in this competition?
According to his usual investigation method, starting from various clues at the crime scene, he used his wisdom and imagination to decipher the murderer's murderous plan step by step.
But Lin Xinyi simply ignored the murderer's plot and restored the truth directly from the corpse.
In the face of this simple and direct investigation method...the murderer's painstaking efforts to set up a cover-up seems to have become a complete joke.
"Alas..." Kudo Shinichi sighed softly, but his desire to challenge Lin Shinichi became even stronger in his heart.
At the same time, another loser present, Ishikawa, seemed to have finally calmed down a bit.
When the situation developed to this point, he had already seen that he would never be able to escape the crime of murder.
But Ishikawa was not ready to give up completely just like that.
He lowered his head and meditated for a moment. When he raised his head again, the fierce face just now became full of pain and regret.
After brewing my emotions for a while, the tears in my eyes were about to be squeezed out:
"People... people were killed by me."
"I killed Uchida, but I was afraid of being caught... so I came up with this method to disguise the scene."
Ishikawa finally admitted the fact of his murder.
To be continued...
