Chapter 420 Late Apology(1/2)
Lin Xinyi explained the cause of death of Ritsuko Usui in detail.
Subsequent autopsy and dissection can verify whether his view is correct.
And with the existing clues and evidence, it is difficult to give other explanations.
Therefore, before the autopsy results came out, the inference given by Lin Xinyi was the most likely conclusion.
But everyone still had doubts in their eyes that were hard to get rid of.
What they suspected was...
"We just have to wait and see if the autopsy can prove whether Miss Ui Bing died of positional asphyxia."
"But the problem is..."
Some people expressed their doubts bluntly:
"Is this positional asphyxia necessarily caused by an accident?"
The implication was that they suspected it might be homicide.
What if someone deliberately put Ms. Ui Bing in this position so that she could die from positional asphyxiation?
And as long as this could be homicide, Fei Yingli's suspicion has not been cleared.
"It's very unlikely."
Lin Xinyi gave an explanation in an orderly manner:
"I have said before that orthostatic asphyxia is a death from suffocation caused by the body being restricted in an abnormal position for a long time, which blocks respiratory movement and venous return."
"The focus is on this 'long time'."
"If a person wants to die from positional asphyxia, he or she will have to go through a long period of respiratory obstruction."
"If the murderer wanted to kill someone in this way, how could he ensure that the deceased would be obedient and maintain this specific position for such a long time?"
Give sleeping pills?
Extracting blood from the deceased for toxicological testing is a necessary procedure for autopsy, and this trick cannot fool the police and forensic doctors.
Forcibly suppress it?
The deceased was not a vegetative state who would not resist. He would definitely have corresponding resistance injuries and restraint injuries. Doing so would still mean that there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.
Get the target drunk?
This does sound feasible.
Ritsuko Usui had been drinking for just that long, so there seemed to be a possibility that someone might take advantage of her and deliberately pose that way.
But the problem is... positional asphyxia takes too long.
People and their constitutions cannot be generalized, and the degree of drunkenness varies from person to person.
What if Ritsuko Usui was lying on her stomach like that until she was about to die, and then she suddenly woke up a little and turned over?
If so, could the murderer get her drunk again and let her lie back exactly where she was?
This contingency simply cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to apply the principle of positional asphyxia to murder.
People who die from positional asphyxia are mostly caused by accidents.
"That's why I am the one who believes that this case is 'most likely' due to an accident."
Lin Xinyi specifically emphasized the three words "high probability" this time.
Forensics are not omnipotent.
If someone really had a brilliant idea and used this method to kill someone, I'm really lucky that he did it and didn't leave any other evidence at the scene.
Then the police can't do anything... there is no evidence. If they don't assume that this person does not exist, what else can they do?
But this possibility is extremely low.
Therefore, Lin Xinyi judged the case as an "accident" and there was no problem at all.
"The truth is almost clear:"
"Ritsuko Usui had a conflict with her aunt last night, and because she was in a bad mood, she drank alone in her room to relieve her boredom."
"After being drunk, she accidentally fell to the ground and fell asleep. As a result, she suffered positional asphyxia and lost her life forever."
Lin Xinyi sighed softly and said helplessly:
"This case is actually very simple."
"It just seems complicated because of Mr. Saku."
If Hoshi Saku hadn't done those little tricks and set up that extra secret room, I'm afraid this case wouldn't have gone in the direction of murder from the beginning.
Relatively speaking, Fei Yingli will be less suspicious.
"Sorry..." Saku Hashi apologized with a complicated expression.
This apology is more directed towards Fei Yingli:
"Lawyer Fei, I made things worse."
"I just wanted to protect you, but I didn't expect that it would cause you so much trouble."
"snort."
Fei Yingli snorted coldly, but her expression became slightly gentler.
And Hoshi Saku turned his head again and took the initiative to say to Lin Xinyi:
"Now that the truth is out, I feel relieved."
"Mr. Lin, send me to the police station!"
Although he did not kill anyone, he was definitely charged with destroying the scene, falsifying evidence, and obstructing the investigation.
I definitely want to go to prison to experience it.
But Hoshi Saku didn't care at all, and even looked a little carefree.
It seemed that as long as Fei Yingli was safe and sound, he would be satisfied.
"Hmph...this guy..."
Mouri Kogoro gritted his teeth:
"Why do you act cool in front of other people's wives..."
"Who wants you to care?"
He hated Saku Hoshi so much that his face turned green.
But my heart is feeling weak:
Because no matter how crazy, extreme, and irrational Saku Hoshi's actions are, his concern for Fei Yingri is true.
And Mouri Kogoro...
An outsider tried his best to blame his wife.
But this husband is flirting with women in front of his wife, even his wife's colleagues.
This indirectly led to the conflict between Fei Yingli and Usui Ritsuko, and they were inexplicably accused of murder.
Compared with that excellent spare tire, his real husband can simply be thrown away.
The more Kogoro Mouri thought about it, the more ashamed he became.
At this time, Nasaku Hoshi asked Concubine Yingri jokingly:
"Lawyer Fei, after what happened..."
"Do I have no chance at all?"
Chance?
Bah! Thief Cao, what opportunity do you want?!
Mouri Kogoro was so angry that his head was filled with greenery.
But he still felt guilty.
He himself did something wrong and behaved so poorly, which not only made his wife sad, but also made her suffer.
Who knows if Fei Yingli will completely lose all illusions about him after this incident and choose to draw a clear line with him?
If things go wrong, the separation will turn into a divorce.
The more Mouri Kogoro thought about it, the more uneasy he became, fearing that Fei Yingli would really give that poacher some positive answer.
Fei Yingli's answer to Saku Hoshi was:
"You still don't understand, Saku."
"Although your stupid behavior this time seems touching, but..."
