He pointed to the little spots of blood that were almost evenly sprayed on the toilet, wall and floor in the cubicle:

"It's a full splattered blood pattern."

"It's as if... when the blood spurts out, there is no obstacle in front of the deceased."

"That's weird isn't it?"

"The space in the compartment is only so big. If the murderer killed someone in this compartment, standing in front of the deceased would definitely block some of the sprayed blood."

"It is very rare in this kind of heart-piercing homicide that the blood splatter is not blocked by anything like now."

The knife was stabbed into the heart from the front, and when the murderer drew the knife, he should have stood in front of the wound.

But the shape of the blood at the scene told Lin Xinyi:

When the murderer draws the knife, the person is "not present".

"Not to mention, there is this knife..."

Lin Xinyi carefully picked up the knife that was left at the murder scene:

"The splattered blood on the hilt is also evenly distributed, as if it was not blocked at all."

"You must know that the handle of the knife is the place where the knife is held. When the blood spurts out... the hand holding the knife should always block the blood."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly and asked Mao Lilan:

"Miss Maury, what do you think?"

Although Lin Xinyi quickly discovered these unusual traces, he didn't think of the reason for the formation of these strange traces.

After all... the murderer's operations in this world are too fancy.

With Lin Xinyi's overly realistic mind, he couldn't really restore the real situation at the time of the crime.

But Mollyland is different.

She has been with the great detective Kudou since she was a child, and she is used to seeing all kinds of tricks and murderers with all kinds of tricks, and even her imagination has become unrestrained.

At this moment, when Lin Xinyi mentioned something, Mao Lilan quickly realized:

"Blood drops on the door frame of the compartment, blood splatters that are not blocked by anything..."

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, I understand!"

"The murderer didn't kill the person in the compartment at all, but threw the body into this compartment from the outside."

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up, and she expressed her thoughts:

"The murderer must have strangled the deceased with a rope outside the compartment first."

"After being strangled, he found that there was bleach in the bathroom, so he soaked the dead man's hands with bleach on the spur of the moment."

"Then he tied the rope to the handle of the knife and stabbed the knife into the dead man's heart."

"Then, the murderer threw the body of the deceased from the gap above the compartment into the compartment and blocked the door, creating a 'secret room'."

"Finally, he pulled the rope from outside the compartment and pulled the knife tied by the rope from the dead man's heart."

"Eh..." Lin Xinyi was stunned when he heard that.

After digesting the murderer's gaudy killing techniques for a while, he understood the murderer's intention:

"It turns out that... if you draw the knife in this way, the murderer won't get blood on his body."

"He can walk out of the bathroom in a dignified manner and blend in with the crowd unobtrusively."

"But..." Lin Xinyi still didn't understand: "Isn't this superfluous?"

"Since they've all strangled people unconscious...why don't you just kill them by strangling them, why bother to make up for it?"

"If it's just strangled, don't you have to worry about the blood stain?"

"Well... that's right." Mao Lilan was slightly taken aback.

She worked hard to use her imagination, and made extended thinking based on the strange murderers she had seen around Kudo before...

"Could it be..." Mao Lilan tentatively said:

"The murderer wants to use this trick to eliminate his suspicion?"

"Mr. Lin, look... the gap in this toilet cubicle is so big that only thin people can turn over."

"If we follow the idea of ​​the murderer's design, we mistakenly think that he killed the person standing in the compartment, and then turned out of the compartment."

"Then our attention will only be on those who are thin, and we will not pay attention to those who are strong."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan gradually gained confidence in her voice:

"But it's obvious that he was clever and was mistaken by cleverness."

"After we saw through his tricks, he exposed more clues about himself—"

"Obviously, the murderer was an acquaintance of the deceased, and a well-built fellow."

Chapter 188 The Murderer Left at the Scene

"Using the 'body size limit' that spans the gap on the top of the compartment, to eliminate your own suspicion..."

Lin Xinyi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement:

Indeed, based on Mao Lilan's analysis, the murderer's deceptive behavior of strangling people to death, but still needing to make up the knife, seems to have a reasonable explanation.

"Miss Maury, your analysis is right."

"You've been very helpful this time."

Lin Xinyi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Mao Lilan has now followed him to learn the technology of scientific exploration, and the imagination cultivated by being around famous detectives, has gradually surpassed the role of a rookie student and has become his indispensable right-hand man.

Just like this case, if it weren't for this assistant lady to help analyze, Lin Xinyi might have to work hard to understand the murderer's fancy operations.

"This is all the traces you found, Mr. Lin. I just helped make a random guess."

Mao Lilan's attitude is still so humble, but the joy brought by the sense of accomplishment can't be hidden on her young face.

As a good student who loves to learn, she is very much praised and affirmed by her teachers.

And now Mao Lilan is already familiar with the rhythm of Lin Xinyi's handling of the case. She quickly suppressed the little pride in her heart, and took the initiative to express his thoughts without waiting for the teacher to issue orders:

"Mr. Lin, from now on, we just need to protect the scene and wait for our colleagues to arrive for support, shall we?"

"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded:

They have roughly inspected everything that can be seen with the naked eye at the scene.

If you want to do a further detailed investigation, you have to ask the colleagues in the forensics department to bring all kinds of investigation equipment to the scene.

As for the investigation of the deceased's social relations, that was the work of the first search section, and Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan didn't need to work hard.

"But..." Lin Xinyi thought for a while, and opened the wallet that he found from the deceased during the autopsy.

As he expected, there was no cash in the wallet, which may have been disposed of by the murderer who wanted to forge the scene.

But there was still a document in the wallet, with the name of the deceased written on it:

"Yayoi Himeno, 23 years old."

Lin Xinyi took the certificate, turned to Mao Lilan and said:

"Go out, let's go outside and meet those customers in the cafe."

"This..." Mao Lilan was slightly surprised: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean..."

"Maybe the murderer stayed at the scene after killing someone?"

"Maybe." Lin Xinyi also had a strange expression on his face:

He stayed at the scene after killing someone, obviously because he was too confident in his own resourcefulness.

But based on what he saw and heard after he came to this world, those murderers who like to design tricks seem to like to stay at the scene and pretend to be good people, waiting to face the police.

"That's right..."

Maori Lan nodded:

The prisoners she and Kudo met before seemed to like doing this.

It's just that after staying with Lin Xinyi for a long time, he subtly began to feel that this was strange.

"Anyway, let's go check it out first."

"It would be better if there were really suspects among these customers in the cafe."

As soon as Lin Xin said so, he turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Mao Lilan also took off her gloves and was about to leave the scene.

But at this time, she suddenly covered her nose with some discomfort, her shoulders shrugged violently unnaturally, as if she was brewing a powerful sneeze.

"Ah-ah-"

With a quick glance, Lin Xin quickly handed the tissue she carried with her to the assistant lady.

"Ah sneeze!"

Mao Lilan hurriedly took the tissue and covered her mouth and nose in time before the volcano erupted.

Then, she wiped her nose frantically and tidied up for a while before finally turning back into that clean and beautiful girl.

Looking up again, seeing Lin Xinyi who had a panoramic view of her distressed appearance, she couldn't help blushing and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin... Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lin Xinyi thoughtfully handed over another tissue:

"Next time you remember to bring a mask with you, or bring your own tissues."

"Otherwise, if you sneeze at the crime scene without adequate cover, it may interfere with the investigation."

Mao Lilan: "..."

"Ming, I understand." She said with some embarrassment: "This time, the main reason is that I suddenly feel uncomfortable in the nose. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded:
