Chapter 28 Intentional Murder
Ishikawa's expression became stiff again.
Because Lin Xinyi's previous performance had already given him a feeling - he felt as if his brain was transparent in front of the other person and he couldn't hide secrets at all.
But even so, Ishikawa still had to look at Lin Xinyi again.
This is related to the rest of his life. Even if there is always a problem that is causing trouble, he must continue to act:
"Of course."
"If you think about it, you will know that killing Uchida will only cause trouble for me."
"How could I kill him on purpose?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Lin Xinyi retorted without hesitation:
"People sometimes forget about reason and make the decision to kill is normal."
"And as long as you clearly knew that your harmful behavior would cause death, it cannot be regarded as manslaughter."
"But, but"
Ishikawa scratched his neck and argued forcefully:
"I just accidentally killed Uchida."
"Can you still find evidence that I did it on purpose?"
"Of course."
Lin Xinyi replied calmly and calmly:
"Because I can feel how much pain the deceased suffered."
As he spoke, he squatted down next to the body again.
And everyone's eyes were once again focused on Lin Xinyi.
Even Miyano Shiho, who was indifferent to the case at first, is now unknowingly attracted by Lin Xinyi's performance.
"Let me boldly reconstruct what happened to the deceased during his lifetime."
"First, we saw obvious restraint injuries on both hands and wrists of the deceased."
"This shows to a certain extent that Ishikawa may not have wanted to kill anyone at first, but just wanted to teach Uchida a lesson."
"So, after bringing Uchida into this uninhabited alley, at the beginning of the bullying, the murderer's companion tightly grabbed Uchida's wrist and controlled Uchida so that he could not move."
"If I guess correctly, during the time when Uchida was under control, the murderer bullied him."
"In order to prevent their bullying behavior from being exposed to the outside world, bullies often do not attack the victim's exposed parts, leaving scars that cannot be covered."
"They will only attack the victim's chest, abdomen, back and other parts that can be covered by clothes, so they only need to cut off the deceased's clothes."
Lin Xinyi stopped explaining, reached out and took out a pair of scissors from the toolbox handed over by Inspector Komatsu.
Then, he skillfully cut open the deceased's clothes with scissors, exposing Uchida's chest and abdomen.
"this"
The onlookers let out a burst of exclamations.
Because there were too many bruises on Uchida's chest and abdomen.
His body was densely covered with irregular abrasions, intracutaneous bleeding and subcutaneous bleeding. There was not a single piece of good skin from the neck down.
Without any forensic knowledge, anyone with a clear eye could see what kind of atrocities this poor young man suffered before his death.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ishikawa with eyes filled with hatred.
Miss Mao Lilan, who has a strong sense of empathy, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of sympathy.
The painful and remorseful image that Ishikawa had created before instantly collapsed.
He simply broke the jar, gritted his teeth and shouted to Lin Xinyi:
"What, what about this?"
"Didn't I admit that I bullied Uchida?"
"You yourself said that Uchida died of suffocation, not being beaten to death with fists."
"Don't argue with me."
"I'm just stating the facts."
Lin Xinyi ignored Ishikawa's shouting and just continued to say calmly:
"Uchida was violently beaten continuously, repeatedly, and repeatedly by the murderer on his chest and abdomen."
"Injuries of this degree will most likely cause chest bleeding and organ damage inside the human body, seriously affecting the human body's respiratory function - this is also one of the important reasons why the deceased later died of suffocation."
"During this period, as a victim of bullying, Uchida would have begged the murderer for mercy, begging him to show mercy."
"But the murderer didn't just let Uchida go."
"Not only did he not let Uchida go, he even aggravated his bullying behavior because of some of Uchida's behavior and his own impulsiveness."
"So at this time, the murderer stopped his fist and went one step further, grabbing Uchida's neck with one hand."
""
Hearing this, Ishikawa's expression became extremely ugly.
Only then did he realize what Aoki meant when he said "that man saw everything".
What Lin Xinyi said is absolutely correct:
At that time, he was indeed teaching Uchida a lesson as usual - of course, in order to force Uchida to sign the understanding and agreement, Ishikawa used "a little more force" than usual.
But Uchida was very uncooperative.
He insisted that he had forgiven Ishikawa and the others, and that the letter of understanding and consent had been submitted to the principal.
Of course Ishikawa would not believe such a clumsy lie:
joke
I didn't even come to beat you, but you just understood me?
This was just a delaying tactic. If he simply believed it, Uchida would probably report to the police again after he escaped.
What's more, what if we really understand?
The debt from the last time I complained to the police has not yet been settled!
If we don't beat this thorn in the side who dares to resist, and use Uchida to set up a negative role model to scare other monkeys, how can Ishikawa still hang out in school in the future?
Only when Uchida is beaten painfully can he realize his "mistake" and become an obedient slave from now on, not daring to run to the police like last time.
Therefore, as planned from the beginning, Ishikawa gave Uchida an extremely profound "lesson."
After a violent beating, Ishikawa discovered that while Uchida was beaten until he could hardly speak, he was still trying hard to reach for his pocket.
Stopping his fist, he pulled Uchida's hand out of his pocket and took a look:
It's a mobile phone.
Uchida was holding his cell phone at the time.
This was obviously an attempt to secretly call the police for help.
Thinking of Uchida's "record" of filing a complaint with the police, Ishikawa became even more angry.
He felt that the lesson he had taught Uchida was not profound enough. Only by beating him harder could he cure Uchida's old problem of constantly finding people to complain to.
So, Ishikawa began to strangle Uchida's neck with his own hands, preparing to let Uchida experience the horror of "if you don't obey, you will die."
"At this time, Uchida's neck was strangled by the murderer with one hand."
Ishikawa was recalling what happened before, and Lin Xinyi was also restoring the scene at that time:
"The pressure on his neck, combined with his previous injuries, immediately made it difficult to breathe."
"Like all suffocators, Uchida began to instinctively struggle and resist."
"While resisting, his hand caught Ishikawa's arm, leaving a deep scratch on it."
"And that's where things got completely out of hand."
With that said, Lin Xinyi looked at Ishikawa:
“Bullyers usually have the arrogance of treating themselves as ‘higher animals’.”
"They simply cannot tolerate the resistance of those weak people, let alone accept that they will be injured as a result."
"So, he released his grip on Uchida's neck and switched to a more brutal method of torture."
"Um?"
Kudo Shinto on the side suddenly heard something:
"Are you saying that the deceased was not actually suffocated to death because his neck was strangled?"
"That's right."
Lin Xin nodded:
"The choke marks on his neck were not very obvious, indicating that Ishikawa's choke force and time were relatively limited at that time."
"Of course this doesn't fully explain the problem, the important thing is"
"Look, the outside of Uchida's right forearm."
He raised the deceased's right arm so that everyone could see the scars on Uchida's right forearm:
"There were continuous, large purple bruises on the outside of the ulna of the entire forearm from the elbow to the wrist."
"Such coherent, large-area, long scars are very rare."
"How do you think it will be formed?"
"Well" everyone hesitated for a while, but in the end it was Mao Lilan who reacted first.
The beautiful follower next to the famous detective always behaves more keenly than the famous detective when feeling the pain of the deceased:
"On the outside of the ulna of the forearm, this place is often used to block outwards during fighting."
"But the scars caused by blocking cannot be in the shape of such a continuous large area. This shape is more like being extruded from a hard surface, so I guess"
"Uchida may have been pushed to the ground by the murderer before his death."
"And he supported the ground with his forearm and tried hard to get up, so he had this kind of injury on the outside of the ulna."
Mao Lilan hesitated to express his thoughts:
"But if you just get up from the ground, you won't have to use much force at all, and you won't be hurt."
"So, I think, at that time"
"It is possible that someone stepped on Uchida's back and suppressed him to prevent him from getting up."
"Uchida tried to get up again and again, but the murderer stepped him back down again and again. It was probably because he kept struggling in pain that the bruises on the outside of his arms were so obvious."
Speaking of this, Xiaolan's expression became a little heavy, as if she felt the same.
"That's right."
Lin Xinyi looked at Mao Lilan with admiration.
This girl is much easier to take care of than Komatsu on patrol, and she is very talented:
"The murderer had pressed Uchida to the ground for a long time, as evidenced by the bruises on the outside of his forearm."
"But considering that Uchida died of suffocation, the murderer probably stepped on Uchida's back instead of on his back."
"A deadlier neck."
As he spoke, Lin Xinyi gently turned the body over, exposing the back of the deceased's neck.
The deceased's hair was not short, and the back of his neck was covered by the hair, so nothing could be seen at all.
However, just after Lin Xinyi stretched out his hand to lift the deceased's hair,
There was another exclamation from the crowd:
"This, this is a shoe print?!"
Yes, there is still an extremely clear shoe print on the back of Uchida's neck.
The shoe print was branded with the flesh and blood of the deceased.
As a result, the entire back of Uchida's neck suffered large areas of epidermis peeling and subcutaneous bleeding, which looked shocking.
"The tread marks on the back of the neck are obviously heavier than the choke marks on the front of the neck."
"The bruises on the outside of the forearm further prove that the deceased had been suppressed on the ground for a long time."
"So even without an autopsy, I can infer that the deceased died of mechanical asphyxia caused by pressure on the back of the neck."
Lin Xinyi calmly expressed his conclusion.
Then, he looked at Ishikawa, his eyes sharp:
"The human windpipe is in the front of the neck, not the back."
"It's faster to kill someone by strangling them from the front."
"And if you step on the neck from behind, Ishikawa, do you know how long it would take to kill a person?"
Ishikawa's face was pale and silent.
"You should know."
Lin Xinyi said in a cold tone:
"Because you stepped on his neck for several minutes."
"This period of time is long enough for you to recognize the consequences of your actions and for you to know that you are killing someone."
"But you never let go of your foot, no!"
"Because you have already made up your mind to kill."
"It may be because of anger and impulsiveness, or it may be because of the pleasure of killing, in the end."
"You killed him - on purpose!"
