Chapter 5 Arrogant criminals, ridiculed online
Five minutes later, the body was finally fished out.
Of course, the body that was fished ashore at this moment was not complete.
Because the corpse was originally divided into pieces, the only ones floating on the water were some corpse parts with more soft tissue and strong buoyancy. There are also some body parts that are half floating and half submerged under the water, making it difficult to salvage them.
What has been salvaged so far is the left lower limb and thigh, the right upper limb with the hand, an unrecognizable and mutilated head, and the relatively complete upper body torso.
They were carefully placed on a flat white plastic sheet by police officers from the field forensics section, and they managed to piece together a nearly complete human form.
It is not difficult to see from the body shape that the deceased was a rather obese adult woman.
The flesh and blood on the section of the severed limb were so rotten and twisted that it was unbearable to look at.
The mutilated corpse was also covered with large scarlet and eroded scratches, and the scene was extremely shocking.
Officer Rao Shi Mu Mu is used to seeing life and death in his career, and such a cruel death made him instinctively feel sad:
"How about it, Mr. Lin Xinyi?"
There was a trace of unconcealable anger in his voice.
Obviously, the tragic experience of the deceased inspired the righteous detective's resentment towards the murderer:
"You've seen the body."
"Is there anything you want to say now?"
The eyes locked on Lin Xinyi became even more intense.
He seemed to be a hideous zombie in a horror movie, which was scary and disgusting.
Then, in the fearful and disgusting eyes of the onlookers,
This "corpse-shattering demon" actually laughed.
Yes, Lin Xinyi glanced at the corpse gently, and a relieved smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This smile seemed provocative in the eyes of the police, and completely perverted in the eyes of the public.
But before they could accuse indignantly, Lin Xinyi's steady and powerful voice slowly echoed around the scene: "This is very unprofessional."
"Very unprofessional?" Officer Memu was slightly stunned.
"That's right." Lin Xinyi said calmly, "It's very unprofessional."
"Although the most critical head was cut in half, there was also a large area of skin peeling off on the face that was suspected of being scratched - so it is really difficult to distinguish the identity of the deceased from his appearance."
"However, the deceased's upper torso basically maintained its intact shape."
"As long as the torso is available, a senior forensic doctor can calculate and infer the weight of the deceased by measuring the fat thickness of the clavicle, sternum, upper abdomen and lower abdomen without even collecting the entire body."
"In addition, the shape of the corpse's teeth and pubic symphysis can also help forensic scientists comprehensively estimate the specific age of the deceased."
"Height can be calculated based on multiple regression equations of multiple long bones, and the results can be determined within an error of four centimeters."
"With the data of height, weight, and age, it is not too difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased by comparing it with missing persons records."
"Not to mention, I believe everyone can see that there are even the deceased's personal belongings on the body."
"Although the clothes are in pieces, it is not difficult to tell that it is an oversized women's pajamas. The color, style and brand are not difficult to determine, which is a powerful clue that can help confirm the identity of the deceased."
Lin Xinyi gave a long speech.
Everyone was confused, and only Kudo Shinichi heard the underlying message:
Lin Xinyi's words actually made it clear that he did not do this.
If it was done by a "professional" like him, he would not have left such complete body parts, making it possible for the police to trace the identity of the deceased.
But why did Lin Xinyi start to take a firm stance so early?
Could it be that just when I glanced at it?
Did he already find enough evidence from the body to prove that he was not the murderer?
Kudo Shinichi's heart was slightly restless, half excited and half anxious:
He hasn't noticed anything wrong with the situation yet. Could it be that someone will discover the clues and find the truth earlier than him?
When he thought of this, the famous detective looked at Lin Xinyi with a slightly different look:
Before, he was looking at a criminal suspect, but now he seemed to be looking at an opponent on the path of reasoning.
"Dont look at me."
Lin Xinyi noticed Kudo Shinichi’s gaze:
"If you want to find evidence, you should focus more on the corpse."
"Look carefully and you will know that the murderer is not me."
As he spoke, he turned his head again and glanced at the police officers at the scene one by one.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on a young police officer carrying a large tool box in his hand.
Lin Xinyi was very familiar with that toolbox. It was a must-have investigation toolbox for forensic doctors at the scene.
"You're the coroner? What's your name?"
Lin Xinyi came forward very familiarly.
"Well, I'm kind of the coroner."
"Koichiro Komatsu, just call me Komatsu for inspection."
Officer Komatsu from the Metropolitan Police Department nodded slowly before reacting: "What can you do if you call me?"
"You come and take a look too!"
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but pull Officer Komatsu, who looked a little dazed, over:
"It's your job to examine the corpse. Why are you standing there in a daze?"
"Well" Komatsu came forward with a sudden realization this time: "I thought that since the famous detective Kudo Shinichi is here this time, there is no need for me to appear."
""
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi became even more speechless:
The police in this world rely too heavily on famous detectives, which is abnormal and abnormal.
How can a normal law enforcement agency rely so much on private forces to solve crimes? It's not like I'm writing a detective novel.
While he was cursing, he pulled Officer Komatsu over to inspect the body.
Then, that's it
Under the guidance of Lin Shinichi, Kudo Shinichi and Officer Komatsu stared at the mutilated body for more than half a minute.
Officer Komatsu finally showed some professional demeanor. He carefully put on latex gloves, cautiously stepped forward, and tentatively pressed lightly on various parts of the body.
"So, what did you see?"
Lin Xinyi's language function is obviously much more active than before.
He slowly guided Kudo Shinichi and Officer Komatsu to talk, looking like a well-guided academic tutor.
"There is definitely something wrong."
"Why are there such scars on my waist?"
Kudo Shinichi stared closely at the waist of the deceased, his eyes changing.
He looked at it with great concentration and murmured words that no one could understand:
"There's no way this is obviously a corpse dismemberment case."
"The corpse was cut into pieces like this, and Xiaolan and I saw the waves of blood. How could it be?"
This famous detective was completely lost in confusion and contemplation.
He has discovered the doubts, but he still lacks a key to open the door to the truth.
What made him faintly anxious was that Kudo Shinichi could see that the guy named Lin Shinichi had found the "key" that he couldn't find.
Could it be that I would lose in reasoning to a criminal suspect I bumped into by accident today?
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi pondered even more intently.
“Somewhat virtuous”
Lin Xinyi on the side sighed softly in surprise:
Not only was he not frightened into a daze by the mutilated corpse, but he was able to discover something strange from the corpse so quickly. For a high school student, this was already unimaginably powerful.
It seems that this "Heisei Sherlock Holmes" does have two skills, and his reputation is not in vain.
"So"
After observing the performance of the high school detective, Lin Xinyi turned his attention to Officer Komatsu.
This Officer Komatsu is a serious Tokyo Interpol, a professional who works on public wages, so Lin Shinichi has much higher expectations for him than the "amateur fanatic" named Kudo Shinichi.
"Inspection Xiaosong, did you see anything?"
"Forehead"
Officer Komatsu hesitated for a while, and finally said slowly:
"After the examination I just conducted, it was found that the deceased's relatively intact torso had already developed preliminary large-scale rigor mortis."
"Considering the temperature at night recently, I guess the deceased has been dead for more than 4 hours."
""
He had finished speaking his opinion, but Lin Xinyi still stared at him with a serious face.
"W-what are you looking at me for?" Officer Komatsu asked with a look of discomfort on his face.
A question popped out of Lin Xinyi's mouth: "Are you done?"
"Yes, yes." For some reason, Officer Komatsu felt as nervous as when he faced his own police academy teacher.
"That's it?" Lin Xinyi's face turned a little cold.
"That's it." Officer Komatsu lowered his head silently.
"Well" Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he let out a long sigh: "I finally understand!"
"What do you unserstand?"
Kudo Shinichi suddenly came over, his face full of confusion and unwillingness.
But there was only helplessness in Lin Xinyi's voice:
"I understand"
"The Japanese police really need a savior."
