When he thought of this, Kudo Shinichi, who rarely made any omissions in reasoning, couldn't help but feel a little silent.

But Lin Xinyi completely failed to notice the self-criticism that was almost written on the face of the great detective.

He seemed to have unknowingly become a partner with Kudo Shinichi, and began to add details to Kudo's reasoning in an orderly manner:

"Kudo is right."

"The skin color of the corpse is pale, goose-skin-like changes in the skin, and changes in the cuticle of the epidermis that forensic medicine calls 'washerwoman's hands.' These are the basic characteristics of a corpse soaked in water."

"However...these characteristics can only prove that the deceased was soaked in water for more than a certain period of time."

"To prove that the deceased died of drowning during his lifetime, we usually have to check here first..."

With that said, Lin Xinyi showed the tools he just took out from the survey box:

"This is a finger straightener, used to straighten the fingers of the deceased's fist."

"Drowning victims struggled violently before death, causing muscle spasms in their hands. The palms of their hands often become tight and clenched after death."

"So, just open the deceased's palm like this..."

In the complex eyes of everyone who were horrified, frightened, but unable to restrain their curiosity...

Lin Xinyi picked up the only severed arm from the plastic sheet, then slowly and steadily inserted the finger wrench into his fingers, straightening the fingers of the severed hand one by one.

The clenched palms were opened.

In the palm that was finally opened, everyone could see:

"That's...a waterweed?"

"That's right, it's a waterweed."

Lin Xinyi put down the amputated arm and said in a deep voice:

"It's not just water plants. Before I opened the deceased's palm, I noticed that there was some sand between the nails of the deceased."

"These are all evidence that the deceased drowned before his death——"

"Because only people who drowned before they were alive can grab the aquatic plants and sand in the water with their hands when they instinctively struggle."

"If the body was abandoned after death, there would be no chance of these things in the palms of the body and between the fingernails."

"By analyzing the types of aquatic plants and further comparing the types of aquatic microorganisms in the deceased's lung fluid with the river water samples here, it should not be difficult to confirm that the deceased drowned in this river."

"And the time of drowning was as analyzed by Kudo just now, about three hours ago."

His voice was extremely serious, and his eyes were full of a different kind of concentration.

This kind of focused look is enough to conquer people's hearts.

Unconsciously, everyone forgot that Lin Xinyi was still the suspect in this case.

There was even some admiration in their eyes:

"This 'Shinichi' is actually so good at reasoning?!"

Some people sighed unconsciously.

But Lin Xinyi will not be complacent because of the entry-level forensic knowledge he just demonstrated.

The spectacle in the eyes of the audience is nothing more than a daily routine that he is all too familiar with.

"Reasoning? No..."

Lin Xinyi said calmly:

"Reasoning is the work of detectives."
