Chapter 11 Lin Xinyi’s purpose of coming

Three hours later, Kasumigaseki, the Metropolitan Police Building.

In just three hours, the salvage personnel were lucky enough to find the documents that the deceased had carried with him in the damaged clothes that were subsequently salvaged.

The police quickly confirmed the identity of the deceased and quickly contacted the deceased's family.

After the cooperation of the deceased's family, it was confirmed that the deceased suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night yesterday and left a handwritten suicide note at home.

Faced with this evidence, the police became more convinced that the deceased committed suicide by drowning.

This case of corpse dismemberment was successfully solved.

Lin Xinyi, Kudo, and Xiaolan, who had just cooperated with the police in completing the transcript, were also completely free from the case. They greeted the police officers in charge of the case and prepared to leave.

"Brother Lin!"

Before leaving, the Mumu Police Department enthusiastically patted Lin Xinyi on the shoulder with his fat hand:

"Thanks to your presence this time, the case was solved so quickly."

"If there is a chance in the future, I hope we can cooperate more!"

The more people with free crime-solving tools, the better.

Therefore, the Mumu Police Department will not be like those young police officers who feel alienated because they were ridiculed by Lin Xinyi.

"Um"

Lin Xinyi responded insincerely:

He has made up his mind to change to a relaxed lifestyle. If nothing happens, he will not have any chance to cooperate with the police again in the future.

However, when sending the Buddha to the West, Lin Xinyi reminded the Mumu Police Department at the last moment:

"By the way, Officer Megure."

"During the on-site autopsy, I also used a puncture needle to collect a blood sample from the deceased's heart."

"That blood sample is now being inspected and kept by Komatsu. If possible, please ensure that the blood sample is sent to a professional identification agency for toxicology testing."

"W-what?"

Officer Memu's round and round face trembled:

"Are you suspecting the presence of toxins in the body of the deceased when the blood sample was sent for testing?"

"But didn't the deceased die of suicide and drowning?"

"And we have contacted her family and found her suicide note!"

Lin Xinyi's words were like a depth bomb.

Officer Megure was stunned by the explosion. Detective Kudo Shinichi, who was busy chatting and laughing with Xiaolan nearby, was also blown away and instantly forgot about his childhood sweetheart:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi"

"Did you find any more evidence that I didn't notice?"

Kudo Shinichi bites the word "again" very hard.

But Lin Xinyi answered calmly:

"No, not at all."

"I did not find any signs of poisoning on the deceased's body surface, nor did I find any signs of restraint or resistance injuries on the deceased's wrists, forearms and other parts."

"From all the evidence that can be collected so far, the deceased died of suicide."

"But, I said it before"

"The most taboo thing for forensic doctors is preconceptions."

"You think it was a suicide by dismembering the body, but it might actually be a suicide by drowning."

"You think this is suicide by drowning, but there may be another fact hidden behind it."

He methodically pointed out the next direction of investigation for the Mumu Police Department:

"This time I only did a basic postmortem examination of the deceased, and there are many things that cannot be seen with the naked eye."

"For example, the deceased may have been knocked unconscious with sleeping pills and then thrown into the water to pretend to commit suicide."

"Such cases are not uncommon and clues can only be found through blood testing."

"To further confirm that the deceased committed suicide, it is not only blood testing, but also a good investigation into whether the deceased had any motive for suicide before his death."

"If possible, an autopsy must be performed to confirm whether the deceased had subcutaneous bleeding caused by injuries before death - I emphasized this to you at the scene."

"Please also keep the suicide note written by the deceased carefully. If any doubts are found during the subsequent investigation, the police will still need to conduct handwriting identification on the suicide note."

Finally, Lin Xinyi paused slightly and said solemnly:

"As long as there is room for doubt, we must never give up our doubts easily."

"After all, our duty is to find out the truth, not to rush to a conclusion and meet the response indicators."

"this"

Mumu Police Department blushed slightly when Lin Xinyi said it.

To be honest, both he and the other police officers just felt relieved after learning that the deceased died of suicide.

There is a result, the case is solved, and the pressure is gone.

Everyone just wants to solve the case smoothly.

In this situation without any other clues, no one would "look for trouble" to go deeper with suspicion.

"I see"

"Only those who can truly understand the pain of the deceased can always maintain this persistence of doubt."

Kudo Shinichi further understood Lin Shinichi's previous words.

The Mu Mu Police Department nodded solemnly after some thought:

"I understand, Brother Lin."

"I will send the blood sample to Kesouyan for testing, and the body will be entrusted to the forensic laboratory of the partner university for autopsy."

"I promise that if any suspicion is found, our Metropolitan Police Department will definitely investigate it to the end."

"That's good."

Lin Xinyi finally felt relieved.

Although his current identity is neither a forensic scientist nor a criminal police officer, there is absolutely no need to worry about the case so much.

But there is no way the professional level shown by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is really worrying.

"Goodbye, Megure Police Department."

"And Kudo, Miss Maorilan."

Lin Xinyi said goodbye to a few people he met today and prepared to leave the Metropolitan Police Department directly.

"etc!"

Kudo Shinichi hesitated for a moment, but finally caught up quickly:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, I have another question to ask you."

"Ask." Lin Xinyi stopped in a cooperative manner.

But the young detective hesitated for a while, then carefully considered the words and said:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi."

"A capable person like you"

"Why did you make that choice?"

"???" Xiaolan and Mumu Police Department both had question marks on their faces.

But Lin Xinyi shrugged and gave an even more incomprehensible answer: "Who knows?"

"Then we will have a chance to meet again in the future, right?"

The conversation between Kudo and Lin Shinichi was like an encrypted telegram.

Lin Xinyi replied again: "Of course, the 'me' now is a brand new me."

After saying that, he smiled naturally, turned around and walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department door with powerful steps.

Lin Xinyi left like this.

The police department also had a lot to do, so they quickly gave up thinking and went back to the office.

Only Xiaolan, after being confused for a while, finally grabbed Kudo Shinichi's clothes out of curiosity:

"Shinichi, what on earth were you and Mr. Lin talking about just now?"

"What does it mean to make 'that choice'? Did Mr. Lin do something that I don't know about?"

"Ha ha"

Kudo Shinichi showed a relaxed smile:

"You really didn't notice it at all, Xiaolan."

"Stop showing off!" Xiaolan clenched her fists in shame.

"Ahem, do you still remember the conversation we had before we found the body?"

Kudo Shinichi cleared his throat and finally revealed the answer:

"Why is Mr. Lin wearing a black suit coming to the park so early in the morning?"

"Also, why are his trouser legs and shoes wet?"

"Oh, right"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the problem was not simple.

Because his trouser legs and shoes were wet with water, Lin Xinyi was initially suspected as a suspect.

But now it turns out that he was not the murderer and did not dump the body at all. So how could he get his trouser legs wet when he was so good?

"When I found the mutilated body, I immediately suspected Mr. Lin was the murderer."

"And he rushed to the scene immediately after we found the body to watch, which made me more suspicious of him."

"But actually, before this case happened"

"I actually have another guess as to why Mr. Lin wet his trouser legs."

Kudou Shin paused and gave Xiaolan a brief moment to think.

Seeing that Xiaolan still hadn't guessed the answer, he continued to remind:

"You know, we also smelled a strong smell of smoke from Mr. Lin."

"He was still sorting the contents of his pocket and I saw an empty cigarette box in his pocket."

"There are various signs that he has smoked a lot of cigarettes recently, but his fingers are very clean - people who often smoke a lot will leave obvious burnt yellow marks between the index and middle fingers."

"At the same time, I also noticed the mobile phone he was holding:"

"There is a lot of dirt in the gaps between the keyboard of his mobile phone. This is a sign that the owner has sloppy living habits, does not like to take care of personal hygiene, and is unkempt."

"But if you look at today, the suit he is wearing has been meticulously tidied up. The collar and cuffs are not messy at all, and his hair and face are also clean."

Kudo Shinichi has almost given the answer:

"Why would a person who doesn't usually smoke smoke suddenly smoke so much?"

"Why would a person who is usually unkempt suddenly clean himself up so neatly?"

"Is this true?"

Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise.

A terrible guess occurred to her.

"That's right."

Looking at the direction where Lin Xinyi disappeared, Kudo Shinichi sighed softly:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi is the same as the dead lady."

"He went to commit suicide."

Leaving the Metropolitan Police Department alone, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but recall his experience when he first arrived here, thinking of Kudo Shinichi's worried look just now:

When he crossed over in the morning, he opened his eyes and found that he was standing in the cold river water in a daze.

Soon, Lin Xinyi vaguely realized the purpose of the original owner's appearance here, so he quickly went ashore to find a park bench to sit down, and began to look for clues from his body that could help him further understand "himself".

Then, there was his chance encounter with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.

"That famous detective is also quite interesting."

Recalling the experience at that time, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but smile:

"He was pestering me and asking questions. In fact, he wanted to confirm my mental state and prevent me from committing suicide by jumping into the river again, right?"

"Oh, what a nice guy"

"As you said, I hope we have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Lin Xin thought for a while and added another premise in his mind:

"Well, as long as it's not at the crime scene."
