Chapter 5 Arrogant criminals, online mockery(1/2)
Five minutes later, the body was finally fished ashore.
Of course, the body that was fished ashore at this moment was not complete.
Because the corpses were originally divided into pieces, what floated on the water were only some body parts with more soft tissue and strong buoyancy. There were also some body parts that were half floating and half submerged under the water, so it was not easy to salvage them.
.
What has been salvaged so far is the left lower limb and thigh, the right upper limb with the hand, an unrecognizable and mutilated head, and the relatively complete upper body torso.
They were carefully placed on a flat piece of white plastic sheet by the police officers of the on-site forensics department, and they managed to piece together a nearly complete human form.
It is not difficult to see from the body shape that the deceased was a rather obese adult woman.
The flesh and blood on the section of the severed limb were so rotten and twisted that it was unbearable to look at.
The mutilated corpse was also covered with large scarlet and eroded scratches, and the scene was extremely shocking.
Officer Rao Shi Mu Mu is used to seeing life and death in his career, and such a cruel death made him instinctively feel sad:
"How about it, Mr. Lin Xinyi?"
There seemed to be a trace of unconcealable anger in his voice.
Obviously, the tragic experience of the deceased inspired the righteous detective's resentment towards the murderer:
"You've already seen the body."
"Is there anything you want to say now?"
The eyes locked on Lin Xinyi became even more intense.
He seemed to be a hideous zombie in a horror movie, which was scary and disgusting.
Then, in the eyes of the onlookers with fear and hatred...
This "corpse-shattering demon" actually laughed.
Yes, Lin Xinyi glanced at the corpse gently, and a relieved smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This smile seemed provocative in the eyes of the police, and completely perverted in the eyes of the public.
But before they had time to criticize in anger, Lin Xinyi's steady and powerful voice slowly echoed in the scene: "This is very unprofessional."
"Very unprofessional?" Officer Memu was slightly stunned.
"That's right." Lin Xinyi said calmly: "It's very unprofessional."
"Although the most critical part, the head, was cut in half, there was also a large area of skin on the face that was suspected of being scratched - so it is really difficult to distinguish the identity of the deceased from his appearance."
"However, the upper body and torso of the deceased basically maintained its complete shape."
"As long as the torso is available, it is not even necessary to collect the entire body. A senior forensic doctor can calculate and infer the weight of the deceased by measuring the fat thickness of the sterno-clavicular area, sternum, upper abdomen and lower abdomen."
"In addition, the shape of the corpse's teeth and pubic symphysis can also help forensic doctors comprehensively estimate the specific age of the deceased."
"Height can be calculated based on the multiple regression equation of multiple long bones, and the result can be determined within an error of four centimeters."
"With the data on height, weight, and age, and comparing it with missing persons records... it is not too difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased."
"Not to mention, I believe everyone can see that there are even the clothes of the deceased on the body..."
"Although the clothes are in pieces, it is not difficult to tell that it is an oversized women's pajamas. The color, style, and brand are not difficult to determine... This is a powerful clue that can help confirm the identity of the deceased."
Lin Xinyi gave a long speech.
Everyone was confused, and only Kudo Shinichi heard the underlying message:
Lin Xinyi's words actually made it clear that he did not do this.
If it was done by a "professional" like him, he would not have left such complete body parts, making it possible for the police to trace the identity of the deceased.
But why did Lin Xinyi start to take a firm stance so early?
Could it be that just when I glanced at...
Did he already find enough evidence from the body to prove that he was not the murderer?
Kudo Shinichi's heart was slightly restless, half excited and half anxious:
He hasn't noticed anything wrong with the situation yet. Could it be that someone will discover the clues and find the truth earlier than him?
When he thought of this, the famous detective looked at Lin Xinyi with a slightly different look:
Before, I was looking at a criminal suspect, but now I seem to be looking at an opponent on the path of reasoning.
"Dont look at me."
Lin Xinyi noticed Kudo Shinichi’s gaze:
"If you want to find evidence, you should focus more on the corpse."
"Look carefully and you will know that the murderer is not me..."
As he spoke, he turned his head again and glanced at the police officers at the scene one by one.
Finally, he stared closely at a young police officer carrying a large tool box in his hand.
Lin Xinyi is very familiar with that toolbox. It is a must-have investigation toolbox for forensic doctors when they appear at the scene.
"You're the coroner? What's your name?"
Lin Xinyi came forward very familiarly.
"Um...I'm kind of the coroner..."
"Koichiro Komatsu, just call me Komatsu for inspection."
Officer Komatsu from the Metropolitan Police Department nodded slowly before reacting: "What can you do if you call me?"
"You come and take a look too!"
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but pull Officer Komatsu, who looked a little dazed, over:
"It's your job to examine the corpse, why are you standing there in a daze?"
"Um..." Komatsu came forward with a sudden realization this time: "I thought that since the famous detective Kudo Shinichi was here this time, there would be no need for me to appear."
"...."
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi became even more speechless:
The police in this world rely too much on famous detectives...it's not normal, it's very abnormal.
How can a normal law enforcement agency rely so much on private forces to solve crimes? This is not like writing a detective novel.
While he was cursing, he dragged Officer Komatsu over to inspect the body.
Then, just like that...
Under the guidance of Lin Shinichi, Kudo Shinichi and Officer Komatsu stared at the mutilated body for more than half a minute.
Officer Komatsu finally showed some professional demeanor. He carefully put on latex gloves, cautiously stepped forward, and tentatively pressed lightly on various parts of the body.
"So, what did you see?"
Lin Xinyi's language function is obviously much more active than before.
He slowly guided Kudo Shinichi and Officer Komatsu to talk, looking like a well-informed academic tutor.
"There is indeed something wrong."
"Why are there such scars on my waist..."
Kudo Shinichi stared closely at the waist of the deceased, his eyes changing.
He looked at it with great concentration and murmured words that no one could understand:
"It's impossible...this is obviously a corpse dismemberment case..."
"The corpses were cut into pieces like this... How could the waves of blood that Xiaolan and I saw be..."
This famous detective was completely lost in confusion and contemplation.
He has discovered the doubts, but he still lacks the key to open the door to the truth.
What made him faintly anxious was that Kudo Shinichi could see that the guy named Lin Shinichi had found the "key" that he could not find.
Could it be that I will lose in reasoning today to a...criminal suspect I bumped into unexpectedly?
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi pondered even more intently.
"Something virtuous..."
Lin Xinyi on the side sighed softly in surprise:
Not only was he not frightened into a daze by the mutilated corpse, but he was also able to discover something strange from the corpse so quickly... For a high school student, this was already unimaginably powerful.
It seems that this "Heisei Sherlock Holmes" does have two skills, and his reputation is not in vain.
"So..."
After observing the performance of the high school detective, Lin Xinyi turned his attention to Officer Komatsu.
This Officer Komatsu is a serious Tokyo criminal police officer, a professional who works on public wages, so Lin Shinichi has much higher expectations for him than the "amateur fanatic" named Kudo Shinichi.
