Chapter 2 The Savior of the Japanese Police
Not long ago.
"Lan, don't you find it strange?"
Kudo Shinichi said to Xiaolan while jogging behind Xiaolan:
"That Mr. Lin Xinyi dressed as if he were at work early in the morning. He is different from everyone else."
Now there are only a few citizens in the Jiangbin Park who get up early to exercise.
Everyone was wearing casual clothes that were loose and easy to move around. Only Lin Xinyi was wearing a formal black suit, which was out of tune with the environment.
The suit and leather shoes were too decent, and he could carry the coffin just by wearing sunglasses.
“It’s indeed a bit strange.”
Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized:
"I know! Mr. Lin Xinyi should be that kind of corporate public relations staff."
"I heard that public relations staff sometimes have to stay up all night with company clients before they get off work. It's normal for the day and night to be reversed."
"And I just smelled it. He had a very strong smell of cigarettes."
"He probably just got off work and was sitting in a nearby park because he was too tired."
"This can be considered an explanation."
Kudo Shinichi nodded noncommittally:
Xiaolan's guess seemed reasonable, but it couldn't explain the problem of Lin Xinyi's legs being soaked in water.
What's more, if he had been entertaining customers all night long, Mr. Lin Xinyi would not only have a strong smell of cigarettes, but also a clear smell of alcohol.
Therefore, Xiaolan's speculation is actually difficult to establish.
"Actually, Lan, if what I expected is correct,"
Kudo Shinichi is about to reveal the answer in his heart to Xiaolan.
But Xiaolan suddenly stopped.
She didn't take Shinichi's words at all, but looked blankly at the river not far away.
"H-Hello? Xiaolan, do you hear me?"
Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xiaolan's eyes, but Xiaolan's eyes were still so dull, confused and scared.
Xinyi followed Xiaolan's gaze and looked at the river surface in confusion:
I saw under the dim sky with the shallow dew of the sun, the boats passing by on the calm river
There is a pool of scarlet red slowly spreading in the river.
The red color has faded a bit, and the area is not that big, but it can still dye the billowing waves in a shocking way.
Finally, a ray of rising sunlight fell on the river, clearly revealing the objects floating in the blood waves in front of Xinyi and Xiaolan:
"that is"
"Legs, hands and severed head."
Kudo Shinichi's expression changed slightly.
He had been working as a high school detective for a long time, but he had never seen such a shocking scene many times.
Looking at the scattered lumpy objects floating on the river, it is obvious that this is a case of corpse dismemberment with extremely cruel methods!
"not good!"
Kudo Shinichi suddenly remembered something.
He covered his ears with one hand, and hastily covered Xiaolan's eyes with the other hand.
But Xiaolan’s sky-breaking soprano was already gushing out like Coke with Mentos:
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"There are, there are bodies in the water!"
ten minutes later.
The scene of the crime has been cordoned off by the police who arrived after hearing the news.
Water search personnel also drove small boats with equipment and began to recover the bodies floating on the river.
It has to be said that being able to arrive at the scene of the crime in such a timely manner before ordinary people woke up, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's dispatch speed is absolutely impeccable.
This time the team was led by a middle-aged policeman wearing a brown suit and a brown hat, with a round figure and a kind face.
He was standing on the cordon, learning about the case from Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, who found the body.
From what Kudo Shinichi calls him, it seems that this fat police officer should be called the Megure Police Department.
Outside the long cordon, there were onlookers gathered together who were attracted by the formation.
Lin Xinyi is also here.
Yes, Lin Xinyi, who had just traveled through time, couldn't help but come over to watch the fun.
Watching the excitement is a common hobby of all mankind, and he is no exception.
What's more, out of the professional instinct he had developed in the past, he couldn't help but want to take a look at the murder scene.
"The body has not been brought ashore yet, and the specific situation is not easy to analyze."
"But since it's a corpse case, it's not easy to solve."
Lin Xinyi looked at the salvage team on the river from a distance and thought to himself:
The purpose of dismemberment is basically to conceal the identity of the victim. The perpetrators of corpse dismemberment cases usually have psychological qualities and counter-detection capabilities that exceed those of ordinary criminals.
Finding clues that can point to the victim and the murderer from the highly damaged body parts requires sophisticated autopsy skills and meticulous investigation and inspection work.
And if the murderer is also proficient in some medical knowledge of handling traces of corpses, then the autopsy work will be even more difficult.
but
"What does this have to do with me?"
Lin Xinyi, who had unconsciously entered overtime mode, suddenly came to his senses:
"I'm just a passerby now."
"Let's leave the case in Japan to the Japanese police."
He gave an easy smile that didn't have anything to do with him.
But the case itself, especially the bodies floating in the river, still firmly attracted his attention.
At the same time, Officer Memu in the cordon was also having a headache about this case:
"The Dismemberment Case"
"It's been a long time since I've encountered a case of such a heinous nature. I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."
As a senior Tokyo criminal police officer, Officer Megure also understands the seriousness of the corpse case.
Everyone in this world seems to be a fan of detective literature, and they pay extraordinary attention to criminal cases.
If the mutilation case with such cruel and abominable methods cannot be solved, the Japanese police may have to bow their heads and apologize to everyone again on the news headlines.
There is a lot of pressure to solve the case, and now Officer Megure has no clue about the case.
Therefore, he could only habitually turn his inquiring eyes to the familiar high school detective beside him:
"Brother Kudo, what do you think?"
Kudo Shinichi remained silent and did not answer, but the confident light in his eyes continued to flash.
At the same time, the onlookers outside the cordon also let out bursts of exclamations:
"Kudo Shinichi, it's the famous Kudo Shinichi!"
"It's great. It seems that this case will be resolved soon."
The crowd was noisy and restless.
Looking at that scene, those who didn’t know it thought it was a fan who happened to meet some superstar on the road.
But this is a crime scene, a bloody crime scene.
To be so excited next to a dead body, are the hearts of these onlookers a little too big?
Lin Xinyi cursed in his heart:
He has been to so many scenes, but he has never seen such a situation that can turn a crime scene into a star chasing party.
"Who is that Kudo Shinichi?"
Lin Xinyi finally couldn't help but asked the onlookers in a low voice.
But those fanatical fans looked at him with even more surprise:
"Kudo Shinichi doesn't even know?"
"Then haven't you heard of the title 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era'?"
"No" Lin Xinyi shook his head.
"without?"
The onlookers were as shocked as if they heard that in the 21st century there are still people who don’t believe the earth is round:
"No, don't you usually read newspapers?"
"The savior of the Japanese police, you must have heard of this name, right?"
"Huh?" Lin Xin looked surprised.
As a colleague, even if he does not intend to do this unspeakably hard job after time travel, this career is an ideal that he has never regretted.
Therefore, he simply could not imagine that the word "police" could be followed by the word "savior".
savior savior
"The Japanese police are so talented."
"You actually need a high school student to rescue you?"
Unable to hold back, Lin Xin blurted out what was in his mind.
The scene suddenly became a little quiet.
Especially the police officers busy in the cordon.
They all stood stiffly, with ugly faces, and they slurred slightly at the corners of their mouths but never made a sound.
Lin Xinyi can understand such facial expressions. It was the same when he was scolded by his mother because of his poor academic performance when he was a child——
Although it is embarrassing and humiliating to be scolded, food is food and food is the original sin. If you are scolded, you can only endure it.
The savior of the Japanese police, this title is an honor for Kudo Shinichi, but it is a big scar for the Japanese police.
The young and energetic police officers seemed at a loss because of Lin Xinyi's ridicule.
Only Officer Memu, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, can still remain calm:
"Ahem"
"As long as we can get the case done."
"No matter who is the person who solves the case, it is the bounden duty of our police to let the truth come to light."
Officer Megure frankly admitted the embarrassing fact that the Japanese police currently need off-site assistance.
Then, without hesitation, he once again turned his eyes to Kudo Shinichi for help.
"Officer Megure."
The famous high school detective finally came back from his thoughts:
"The body has not yet been brought ashore, so it is difficult to determine the specific situation."
"Then we'd better wait."
Officer Megure nodded. He actually didn't expect Kudo Shinichi to be able to deduce any earth-shattering truth with such limited clues.
However, at this moment, Kudo Shinichi changed the topic again:
"However, I have already made a preliminary inference about the suspect in this case."
"What?"
Officer Megure was shocked.
Lin Xinyi was also shocked:
Targeting the suspect in the corpse dismemberment case without even looking at the body?
Should we say that this kid knows things like a god and is as wise as a monster, or should we say that he talks nonsense and is arrogant?
As a former forensic detective who relies on actual evidence to speak his mind, Lin Xinyi actually prefers the latter.
However, I heard Kudo Shinichi reveal another earth-shattering news:
"And the suspect is still at the scene!"
"Right there?!"
The onlookers were also shocked.
They looked at each other warily and kept their distance, fearing that the terrible murderer was standing next to them.
And Lin Xinyi couldn't help but secretly look forward to how this well-established Kudo Shinichi would catch the so-called suspect from the crowd.
Then, in his expectant eyes
I saw Kudo Shinichi, looking at Xiaolan's unconsciously admiring gaze, put one hand in his pocket and made a handsome pose, and pointed straightly at a certain man in the crowd with the other hand:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi."
"Please come over and cooperate with our investigation."
