"Need to continue the autopsy?"

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, didn't you find the decisive evidence one step ahead of me?"

Subconsciously, he bit the words "one step ahead of me" very hard.

Obviously, this long-lost backwardness in reasoning has already aroused the strong interest of Kudo Shin and Lin Shinichi.

And Lin Xinyi naturally ignored this young man's competitive gaze:

"There is no conclusive evidence..."

"You must know that preconceptions are the most taboo in forensic work. Even if you have a preliminary judgment on the case, you must not relax the autopsy work because of this."

"Because the evidence found in the next step is likely to overturn the previous speculation, which is related to the dignity of the deceased and the execution of justice, and we must not let our guard down."

"For example, like in this case..."

Lin Xinyi paused slightly and pointed his finger at the broken limbs on the plastic sheet:

"No matter who it is, they will immediately think that this is a vicious homicide case, and will they believe that there must be a murderer in this case?"

"But in fact, as long as you carefully observe the body, it is not difficult to find..."

"what?"

The onlookers interrupted Lin Xinyi's speech with an unbelievable exclamation:

Listen to what you mean... Could this not be a murder?

This is a case of dismemberment, the deceased is divided into several pieces, and even the corpse is not fully recovered...

The victims have become like this, what could it be if not homicide?

These doubts were clearly put on his face and showed in his eyes.

But Lin Xinyi completely ignored these opposing gazes.

He pointed to the lumpy object that was shattered to the ground, and said loudly:

"Yes, after my initial observation..."

"This is a suicide case!"

Chapter 7 The work of the forensic doctor

Nani (òωó?)? !

The expressions of everyone present were basically like this, but they didn't look so cute.

Except for Kudo Shinichi, who had a complicated expression, shock was clearly written on everyone's face:

Hello...suicide case?

Is this a word you made up yourself?

How could it be suicide?

The crowd was in an uproar, but the Mumu Police Department was stunned for a while and then asked with a lively mind:

"That, Mr. Lin Xinyi, do you mean to say..."

"The deceased was dismembered and discarded by a second person for some reason after committing suicide?"

"Your guess is good."

"This is indeed a possibility of a 'suicide case'."

Lin Xinyi nodded earnestly, agreeing with Officer Mumu's conjecture:

He has encountered such cases in his career:

In order to falsely claim the pension of her husband who committed suicide, a woman is afraid that the body of her husband will be found if she disposes of her casually.So, after discovering that her husband committed suicide, this person secretly divided her husband's body into several pieces and discarded them in bags.After that, she kept creating the illusion that her husband was still alive, until the bag containing the corpse was accidentally discovered.

This kind of incomprehensible prank operation confused the eyes of all the investigators.

If Lin Xinyi, who was the forensic doctor at the time, confirmed through autopsy that the deceased was indeed killed by suicide, no one would have believed that such a ridiculous thing could happen in the world.

So, the world is big.

Don't rush to scold after seeing news headlines like "The body was broken into three pieces, the police confirmed suicide" and "The deceased was hit with [-] knives, the police confirmed suicide".

These bizarre cases actually exist, and if you want to scold you, you should scold those self-media who want to make big news every day.

"but."

"According to the clues the corpse told me so far..."

After appreciating Officer Mumu's flexible thinking ability, Lin Xinyi changed his words and said:

"There is no second person involved in this case."

"From suicide to dismemberment, there is only one deceased."

"Huh?" This time, even Officer Mumu's fat face showed an expression of disbelief.

"How could this be..." Xiao Lan endured the discomfort and quietly glanced at the dilapidated corpse on the plastic sheet, and then couldn't help but asked Kudo Shinichi: "Shinichi, is the deceased really committing suicide? "

"..."

Kudo Shin was silent for a while.

It was rare for him to show an expression that was not very confident in front of Xiaolan:

"That...the body of the deceased does have a lot of things wrong..."

"But, but I haven't figured out the most crucial question..."

With that unspeakable unwillingness and expectation, Kudo Shinichi once again turned his attention to Lin Shinichi:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, can we start?"

In Kudo Shinichi's view, this has become an invisible reasoning competition.

It's a showdown between detectives and detectives, a battle of minds and wits.

But Lin Xinyi didn't think so.

This is not a game for him, let alone a competition.

It's a job, a responsibility.

"It's time to start."

His eyes gradually became deep and firm, like a piece of iron.

Lin Xinyi took the huge aluminum alloy forensic investigation box from the hand of the police officer Komatsu, then squatted down silently, and gently opened the forensic investigation box:

Magnifying glass, fingerprint plate, hemostatic forceps, puncture needle, scalpel, pointed scissors, flat scissors, latex gloves, bone saw, bone hammer, osteotome, bone scissors, scoop...

A variety of forensic tools are neatly arranged in the box, which looks very comfortable for OCD patients.

But Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly:

The tools in the survey box are quite neat...

Qi De seems to have never been used after buying it.

After all, professional forensic doctors who have actually run through the scene should know that anatomical tools such as bone saws, osteotome, and spoons are not used at all in the preliminary investigation of the scene.

All that can be used at the scene are masks, gloves, rulers, tape measures, puncture needles, hemostatic forceps, thermometers, rectal thermometers and other common inspection tools.

An experienced forensic doctor will not pack so many things in a site survey box unless he wants to add weights to exercise.

It seems that this Komatsu police officer is really good at cooking...

"Ugh…"

Lin Xinyi quickly restrained his emotions in the slander, put on a mask and put on two layers of latex gloves:

Masks must be worn as much as possible. After all, forensic doctors come into contact with various corpses every day, and no one knows whether the deceased has infectious diseases.

Gloves should also be worn in two layers, one layer is easy to penetrate the smell.

Then, Lin Xinyi walked over to the deceased and squatted down.

Just like the police officer Komatsu just now, he began to gently press the various parts of the corpse with his fingers.

"The investigation just now by the Komatsu inspection is basically correct."

"An inconspicuous generalized corpse has appeared on the corpse."

Lin Xinyi retracted his hand, and usually turned around and went to the survey box to get the tools, while explaining in detail:

"But the time of death doesn't have to be more than four hours:"

"Because when people drown in water, they will struggle and twitch, muscles will exercise vigorously, and the ambient water temperature is low, so the time of corpse death will be much earlier than normal."

"Uh..." Komatsu's inspector's expression was extremely embarrassing.

All he could see from the corpse was that there was something wrong.

"Sorry, I made a mistake..."

"Indeed, I remember it was written in the book that the drowned people do appear in advance of their corpses... Alas, wait!"

"Mr. Lin, are you saying that the deceased was drowned?"

Inspector Komatsu asked loudly as if he had woken up suddenly.

"Yes."

"And it's something a professional should see at a glance."

Lin Xinyi reluctantly glanced at the police officer Komatsu, who was in a hurry with his business ability, and then turned his slightly appreciative gaze to Kudo Shinichi next to him:

"I think the famous detective should have seen the problem, right?"

"indeed so."

Kudo Shin nodded and said in agreement:

"Although the corpse is in a state of dilapidation, it is not difficult to see:"

"The skin of the deceased was pale overall, and there were goose bump-like bumps on the skin on the outer sides of the arms and legs... These are all the characteristics of the drowning deceased's skin that was stimulated by cold water, resulting in the contraction of skin blood vessels, the contraction of the erector pili muscles, and the bulging of the hair follicles. ."
