Chapter 92 A strange scene
Mouri Kogoro may not be able to remember Lin Shinichi's name.
But it’s impossible for Yoko Okino not to remember.
Because, as a youth idol who relies on popularity to survive, she is tied to other popular stars. Her popularity these days is not as high as that of Lin Xinyi.
As soon as Lin Xin debuted, he even stepped on the two popular figures Kudo and Kidd, and became a top-tier player that even Yoko Okino envied.
"Hello, Manager Lin!" Okino Yoko took the initiative to step forward and shake hands as a gesture of goodwill.
"Hello." Lin Xinyi politely stretched out his hand and shook it briefly.
Mouri Kogoro, who was watching on the side, felt very sad:
It's disgusting that Ms. Yoko took the initiative to shake hands. This is a treatment that I don't even get!
By the way, Lin Xinyi, this guy is the young man who was invited by the Metropolitan Police Department to be the management officer.
Thinking of this, Mouri Kogoro became even more unhappy:
He had been around for so long that he had reached the age where his children knew how to do soy sauce, and then he became an inspection minister.
And this kid was so young that he was hired by the Metropolitan Police Department to be a management officer at the same level as a police officer.
Alas, it's a good thing that I resigned back then, otherwise I would still have to salute this guy when I see him now.
Just like Lin Shinichi was shocked by Miyano Shiho's precocious wisdom, Mouri Kogoro also had complicated emotions because of Lin Shinichi's teenage success.
And his idol, Okino Yoko, couldn't care less about the emotions of his die-hard fan at this moment.
She is using her skillful social skills to greet Lin Xinyi, who is also a "big star".
And Okino Yoko's manager, Yamagishi Eiichi, the man who had been standing by as a backdrop, suddenly became energetic at this moment:
Seeing Lin Xinyi, the darling of the media, next to him, this overqualified agent was already planning how to get Okino Yoko to take advantage of the opportunity to gain popularity.
A star manager and a popular youth idol, wouldn't it be nice to have a dreamy connection between the two?
As for how to link this fantasy linkage?
The agent, Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi, rolled his eyes and thought:
"Manager Lin, our Miss Yoko just encountered some trouble."
"Since we are all neighbors, could you please help us investigate too?"
"Oh?" Lin Xinyi frowned, suddenly having a bad premonition.
Then he listened carefully:
It turns out that Okino Yoko recently discovered that she was often followed when walking on the road. Sometimes when I return home, I find that the furniture and items in my home have been tampered with. In addition, some people also send surreptitiously photographed photos and make harassing phone calls.
These things made her deeply disturbed, so she wanted to ask detectives to find out who the person who had been harassing her like this was.
And Mouri Kogoro is the detective specially invited by Miss Yoko.
Originally, in her opinion, hiring such a detective was enough.
But now, as an agent, Eiichi Yamagishi has other ideas:
"Ask Manager Lin to help catch the criminal who harassed Miss Yoko."
"In this case, it's not easy to make headlines with the combined popularity of Ms. Yoko and Manager Lin."
The heat falling from the sky is not in vain.
With such a subtle little calculation in his mind, regardless of Lin Xinyi's formal consent, Yamagishi Eiichi immediately turned back excitedly and said to Okino Yoko:
"Miss Yoko, open the door."
"It just so happens that Manager Lin is here too, let him help take a look."
"Yeah." Okino Yoko was stunned for a moment, and then was urged by her agent to take out the key and turn around to open the door.
At this moment, Lin Xinyi suddenly had a bad premonition:
Is this case really a simple stalking case with Conan appearing?
He felt uneasy for no reason.
At this time, the door opened.
And as soon as this door is opened
"Ahhhh!" Okino Yoko suddenly screamed.
In her home, there was a bloody corpse lying on the floor of the living room.
It was a fat man.
He was lying on the floor with a knife stuck in his back. The clothes on his body and the floor beneath him were stained dark red with blood.
With such a large amount of bleeding and the coagulated blood, this guy was obviously dead.
"This, this" Everyone was so frightened by this horrific scene that their expressions changed.
"Oh, it's really here."
Lin Xinyi sighed deeply, feeling very complicated.
After discovering the body, Kogoro Mouri dealt with it decisively and called the police as soon as possible.
Lin Xinyi also temporarily helped seal off the scene, ensuring that no one else would be allowed in before the police arrived.
Of course, Conan still followed him restlessly.
When Lin Xinyi entered the scene alone to conduct a preliminary survey, he followed him with bright eyes.
"Your sister Xiaolan doesn't care about you."
"Is it appropriate to let a child run here?"
Lin Xinyi complained helplessly:
Even if he knew Conan's identity, other adults still regarded Conan as a child. Seeing this kid running next to such a scary corpse, they didn't even stop him.
Conan looked at the scene intently and did not answer.
Lin Xinyi, on the other hand, continued to talk while observing the scene:
"By the way, you haven't told your sister Xiaolan the truth yet?"
"Now everyone thinks you are Kidd. If you don't make it clear, Miss Maori will be very worried, right?"
"Well" Conan finally turned his attention away from the crime scene:
"I used a voice changer to change back to Kudo Shinichi's voice, and explained it to Xiaolan on the phone."
"I told her that I'm not Kaitou Kidd, I'm just out there investigating a case and can't come back."
"Does she believe it?"
"You should believe it." Conan's tone was not very firm.
"Since you're still not sure, why don't you explain the situation directly?"
"Well, there are various reasons for this."
I don't know what kind of scene came to mind, but Conan's little face suddenly became hot like an engine roaring when an experienced driver kicked the accelerator.
"Ahem, anyway, let's not talk about this issue for now."
"Lin, did you see anything strange from the scene?"
Conan blushed and forcibly changed the subject.
"Yes." Lin Xinyi stopped smiling and his expression became extremely serious: "There is something very strange."
"You should have noticed it, Conan?"
"That's right." Conan nodded and said:
"There was a very obvious groove on the wooden floor next to the deceased's body."
"The groove looks almost consistent with the shape of the knife handle inserted into the deceased's body."
"From the clues I have so far, I can only guess that someone smashed the handle of this knife across the floor?"
"Isn't this weird? Whether it's killing people or doing other things with a knife, doing this kind of action is superfluous, right?"
Conan told about a strange discovery.
Lin Xin nodded and said:
"I can't imagine how such strange traces were formed."
"However, in addition to this, the angle of entry of the knife inserted into the body of the deceased is also relatively rare."
The long-edged kitchen knife was still stuck in the corpse's back, and the angle of entry was visible with the naked eye.
"Generally, the angle of entry for knife stabbings is basically an acute angle diagonal stabbing."
"The entry angle of this knife is almost perpendicular to the human body."
"Simulate yourself stabbing someone with a knife. Do you naturally hold the handle of the knife and stab forward from bottom to top, or stab forward from top to bottom?"
"If the tip of the knife is perpendicular to the human body and thrust straight forward, it will be very inconvenient to exert force."
"Indeed." Conan tried to flatten his wrist and stabbed straight forward with a non-existent knife.
Sure enough, it felt very unnatural and made people feel like they couldn't exert their full strength.
"This happens unless the murderer pushed the deceased to the ground or bent him over, and then stabbed him from top to bottom."
"Or you can hold the deceased's shoulders to tilt his back backwards, then stab him from bottom to top, so that the tip of the knife will be at a right angle to the back."
"Both cases indicate that the murderer was very physically strong, allowing the burly deceased to easily be restrained by him in a fight."
"But unfortunately, there are no obvious resistance injuries or restraint injuries on the deceased."
"So, this situation is quite abnormal."
The more he analyzed, the more doubts appeared on Lin Xinyi's face.
But the suspicious aspects of this strange case are far from over:
"Air conditioner, why does this room have to turn on such a high temperature air conditioner?"
"Is it to affect the postmortem changes of the body and mislead the judgment of the time of death? But the air conditioner was not turned off later, and the indoor temperature can be measured by measuring it. Who can be misled?"
"yes."
Conan echoed very seriously: "Even if it is winter, the air conditioner temperature is too hot."
"Yeah" Lin Xin nodded.
Then, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait for winter?"
Lin Xinyi suddenly looked at the winter clothes everyone was wearing.
As if he suddenly unlocked the Tsukuyomi illusion, he was stunned on the spot:
"Why did I just notice it now?"
“Wasn’t it summer before??!”
