Coroner Coroner

Even if the average person accidentally falls into this position, they will instinctively adjust quickly.

But Usui Ritsuko...

"She was too drunk."

"People can't even do the most instinctive self-help after being severely drunk."

"She was so drunk that she completely lost consciousness. When she fell there, she took advantage of the situation and fell asleep there."

"However, this excessively bent sleeping position put a lot of pressure on her neck and blocked the airway in her throat, making it difficult to breathe."

"Holding this position for a long time can obstruct airway ventilation and cause fatal suffocation."

"The long-term respiratory obstruction will lead to hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention in the body, causing respiratory acidosis, hydrogen ions in the plasma increase and transfer to the cells, and potassium ions in the cells escape, resulting in hyperkalemia, resulting in myocardial excitement. Arrhythmia."

Hayashi Shinichi explained the cause of Ubing Ritsuko's death in detail.

Some of the people present were amazed, while others were still doubtful.

Someone quietly looked at Lin Xinyi and Fei Yingli, as if they had doubts about both of them.

"I know what you're wondering:"

"First of all, I doubt whether my speculation of 'postural asphyxia' is correct or not."

"Regarding this point, I can't really come to a complete conclusion now."

"Because this has to go through a rigorous autopsy to get an answer."

A simple examination of the corpse table alone can only give speculations, not conclusions.

To draw conclusions about postural apnea:

First of all, it is necessary to rule out some diseases that may cause suffocation and short-term death after confirming that there is only suffocation and no pathological changes.

Second, the possibility of sudden death caused by alcohol, narcotics, and other drugs must be ruled out.

"These can all be resolved with an autopsy."

"And most importantly:"

Lin Xinyi pointed at Ubing Ritsuko's neck from a distance:

Usui Ritsuko's neck was clean, and she didn't seem to have any injuries.

but…

"If my speculation is correct, she died of postural asphyxia caused by excessive neck flexion for a long time."

"Then her neck organs are under pressure for a long time in the state of neck flexion, venous return is blocked, tracheal ventilation dysfunction, and local tissue and organ submucosal intravascular pressure increase, which will definitely lead to extensive blood vessel rupture and bleeding."

"The bleeding occurs inside the neck and cannot be seen with the naked eye on the surface."

"However, as long as an autopsy is performed, extensive spots and patches of hemorrhage will definitely be found in the deceased's tongue base, laryngeal cavity wall, epiglottis cartilage, trachea, and esophagus."

What he says now is just speculation.

But as long as further autopsy is done, it will be easy to find evidence for his speculation.

It's easy to verify this:

"So, based on the clues currently available, I speculate:"

"Ubing Ritsuko died of postural asphyxiation caused by an accident."

"There may also be a combined effect of alcoholism."

"But anyway..."

Lin Xinyi gave a serious conclusion:

"This should all be just an accident."

Chapter 420 Late Apology

Hayashi Shinichi explained the cause of Ubing Ritsuko's death in detail.

Subsequent autopsy and dissection can verify whether his point of view is correct.

With the existing clues and evidence, it is difficult to give other explanations.

So before the autopsy results came out, Lin Xinyi's inference was the most likely conclusion.

But everyone still had doubts that could not be dispelled in their eyes.

What they suspect is...

"An autopsy can prove whether Ms. Ubing died of postural asphyxiation. We just have to wait and see."

"But the problem is..."

One person expressed his doubts bluntly:

"What kind of postural asphyxia is this, must it be caused by accident?"

The implication is that they suspect that this may be a homicide.

What if someone deliberately put Miss Usui in this position, causing her to die of postural asphyxiation?

And as long as this could be a homicide, Fei Yingli's suspicion would not be cleared.

"It's very unlikely."

Lin Xinyi explained in an orderly manner:

"As I said before, postural asphyxia is death by suffocation caused by the body being confined in an abnormal position for 'long periods of time', which obstructs breathing movement and venous return."

"The focus is on this 'long time.'"

"For a person to die by postural asphyxia, it takes a long time for the breathing to be obstructed."

"If the murderer wants to kill someone in this way, how can he ensure that the deceased will be obedient and maintain this specific position for such a long time?"

Feed sleeping pills?

Extracting blood from the deceased for toxicological testing is a necessary procedure for autopsy, which cannot fool the police and forensic doctors.

Forcibly suppress?

The deceased was not a vegetable who could not resist, and he would definitely have corresponding resistance injuries and restraint injuries.Doing so is still 300 taels without silver here.

Drunk the target?

It does sound feasible.

Usui Ritsuko had been drinking for so long, it seemed that there was a possibility that someone would take advantage of her and deliberately put her in that position.

But the problem is...postural apnea takes way too long.

People's physiques cannot be generalized, and the degree of drunkenness varies from person to person.

What if Ritsuko Usui was lying on her stomach like that, and when she was about to die, she suddenly sobered up a little and turned over?

If this is the case, can the murderer get her drunk again and let her lie back on the ground?

Such contingencies simply cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to apply the principle of postural asphyxia to murder.

People who die from postural asphyxia are basically accidents.

"That's why I am, the case is 'highly probable' that it was an accident."

Lin Xinyi specifically emphasized the word "big probability" this time.

Forensics is not omnipotent.

In case someone really killed someone with such a brilliant mind, he was really lucky to have done it without leaving any other evidence at the scene.

Then the police can't do anything... there is no evidence, what else can we do if we don't assume that this person doesn't exist?

But that possibility is extremely low.

Therefore, Lin Xin judged the case as an "accident", and there was no problem at all.

"The truth is almost out:"

"Ubing Ritsuko had a conflict with her concubine last night, and because she was in a bad mood, she drank alone in the room to relieve boredom."

"After she was drunk, she accidentally fell to the ground and fell asleep. As a result, she suffered from postural asphyxia and lost her life forever."

Lin Xinyi sighed lightly, and said rather helplessly:

"This case is actually very simple."

"It's just because of Mr. Saku that it seems complicated."

If Hoshi Saku hadn't engaged in those petty tricks and set up that extra secret room, the case probably wouldn't have gone in the direction of homicide from the very beginning.

Relatively speaking, Fei Yingli will receive less suspicion.

"Sorry..." Hoshi Saku apologized with a complicated expression.

This apology is more directed towards Fei Yingli:

"Lawyer Fei, I made things worse."

"I just want to protect you, but I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble instead."

"Humph."

Fei Yingli snorted coldly, but her face softened a little.

But Hoshi Saku turned his head again and said to Lin Xinyi:

"Now that the truth is out, I'm relieved."

"Mr. Lin, send me to the police station!"

Although he did not kill anyone, he was indeed charged with destroying the scene, falsifying evidence, and obstructing the investigation.

Definitely going to experience it in prison.

But Hoshi Saku didn't care at all, and looked a little carefree.
