Chapter 95 The basis for suicide
Lin Xinyi came to this incredible conclusion.
Under his guidance, everyone can imagine what happened in this room at that time:
The deceased arranged the scene, stood on the chair, and with a determined gesture of begging for death, jumped towards the tip of the knife fixed with ice on the floor behind him.
The cold blade penetrated his body, and hot blood gushes out like spring water.
The massive blood loss caused his body temperature to drop sharply, and the broken ice cubes were now close to his body, slowly releasing the chill.
In this way, under his own arrangement, he slowly died in unimaginable pain and coldness.
"This guy is too cruel to himself."
Lin Xinyi's reconstruction of the death process was so detailed that everyone broke into a cold sweat.
An experienced detective like Memu Police Department is even more puzzled:
Most suicides pursue a painless and quick way to commit suicide. They wish that suicide could be like logging out of an online game account, pressing a button and disappearing immediately.
But now, this suicidal person has deliberately designed such an execution ground for himself, making him feel extremely uneasy at the last moment of his life.
What is he planning?
"Is this really the truth?"
"Why did the deceased commit suicide in such a tragic way?"
Mao Lilan imagined the pain the deceased suffered during his lifetime, and once again couldn't help but express his doubts.
As she spoke, she realized that she had asked almost the same question as the one she had asked before. She blushed and bowed her head to Lin Xinyi to apologize:
"Sorry, Mr. Lin Xinyi, I'm not questioning your reasoning."
"The suicide method you analyzed and reconstructed is indeed very credible."
"It's just that I still can't understand why the deceased made his death so painful."
Mao Lilan struggled to express doubts to Lin Xinyi.
And Lin Xinyi was not angry at all because his conclusion was questioned.
On the contrary, he felt that Mao Lilan showed the questioning spirit and professionalism of a criminal investigator. It would be a pity not to become a forensic doctor in the future:
This is because suicide cases are unique in that they are "self-produced and sold", there is no murderer, there is a lack of witnesses, and there is no evidence of death.
Therefore, when dealing with such a suicide case in which the circumstances of the case are obviously controversial, the forensic doctor must be cautious and extremely cautious before making a suicide determination.
"The first and most direct basis for my judgment of suicide is:"
"No injuries that restricted the deceased's personal freedom, such as binding, were found on the body, and there were no restraint injuries or resistance injuries caused during the struggle."
"With the deceased's strong physique, if it was a homicide, there would be no resistance at all."
"Unless he was drugged and knocked unconscious in advance——"
"In view of this, I will later ask Kesouyan to conduct toxicology tests on the blood and stomach contents of the deceased."
"Of course, a forensic autopsy of the deceased is also essential."
Just like the "suicide dismemberment case" that Lin Xinyi encountered when he first arrived, even if such a case has been concluded, he will require toxicology testing and autopsy.
Because this type of suicide case with special circumstances has its own unconvincing doubts.
Therefore, in order to eliminate doubts as much as possible, dispel the doubts of family members and the public, and let the deceased die clearly——
Toxicological testing and autopsy are both necessary examination methods.
If this principle is not implemented to the end
There will be people like the mayor of Kimchi Country and the congressman of Neon Country.
It's a mystery that he "committed suicide" without even performing an autopsy.
As for whether this hastily concluded suicide is really a suicide, haha, people say it is, believe it or not.
"In short, the examination of the body will never be relaxed just because a conclusion has been reached."
"In addition to the examination that will be done later, there are other clues that can prove that the deceased died of suicide."
Lin Xinyi pointed to the bloody corpse and continued to explain:
"As you can see, the deceased is lying face down on the ground, right?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison.
"Think about it again, if you commit suicide by jumping backwards like I just said."
"After being stabbed, should the deceased be lying on his stomach, his back, or his side?"
"It should be lying on your back and side!"
"His back fell to the ground. The deceased's position immediately after being stabbed should have been lying on his back or side."
"etc"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, and her expression became very surprised:
"The deceased's current posture is lying on his stomach. Doesn't that mean he did not commit suicide?"
"No, that just means it's suicide."
Lin Xinyi shook his head and said with a smile:
"The grooves in the floor, the melted ice, and the chair standing next to the body are all traces of the scene."
"Assuming that this case is really a homicide - it has been demonstrated previously that the deceased had no ability to resist at the time of the crime and was fatally wounded by a knife. There is no chance of leaving these traces."
"The one who left these traces can only be the murderer."
"Then why did the murderer leave such traces that could not be left during the murder and could only point to the deceased's suicide?"
"The only possibility is that the murderer wanted to disguise the murder as suicide."
"That would be strange - if the murderer wanted to disguise the scene as a suicide, he would even have prepared false clues such as grooves, ice cubes, and chairs to mislead the police."
"Then why did he let the deceased lie on the ground like this, making the scene look like a homicide?"
"This" Mao Lilan fell into deep thought.
She thought carefully and finally figured everything out:
"I see!"
"The homicide was disguised as suicide, but it was impossible to leave the deceased lying like this."
"So the deceased actually committed suicide."
"It's just that he still remained conscious after falling backward and being stabbed in the back, and even had some mobility - he changed his posture and rolled over to the ground."
Mao Lilan told the truth as he guessed.
"That's right." Lin Xin nodded.
And he deliberately squatted down and used the traces on the corpse to provide basis for this conclusion:
"see it?"
"There was blood on the clothes on the left side of the deceased's waist and abdomen, but there was no blood on the clothes on the left side of the waist and back."
"If he was lying down when he was stabbed, and the blood spurted out from his back, it would not only spray to the left side of the waist and abdomen, but not the left side of the waist and back."
"The occurrence of this situation can only mean that the deceased was lying on his side when he was stabbed."
"At that time, he was stabbed in the back, and the handle of the knife was still exposed and could not bear any force."
"So he instinctively lay on his left side with the knife handle in the air."
"The blood flowed from the wound to the ground and quickly accumulated on the ground. The left waist and abdomen area where the deceased was in contact with the ground was soon stained red."
After Lin Xinyi explained, everyone can imagine the horrific scene of the deceased jumping back and being stabbed in the back, supporting his seriously injured body and lying on his side on the ground to linger:
"This side-lying position only lasted for a moment. Otherwise, based on the amount of bleeding, the blood spots on the clothes on his left waist and abdomen would have been larger."
"After being stabbed, the deceased just lay on his side to rest for a while. Then he turned over and changed from lying on his side to lying on his stomach."
"This action may be instinctive - lying on your stomach can relieve the pain a little bit."
"It could also be deliberate - lying down would make the scene look more like a homicide."
"But no matter what, this can prove that the deceased's posture after being stabbed was lying on his side."
"This can support the speculation that the deceased fell backward and was stabbed in the back, further strengthening the possibility of suicide."
Lin Xinyi restored the details of the death process of the deceased in more detail.
After hearing these details, Mao Lilan couldn't help feeling numb:
"The truth turns out to be like this"
"The deceased endured this unimaginable pain just to make his death look more like a homicide."
"How much does he hate that person to be so mad?"
She subconsciously spoke her mind.
And at this moment, after personally experiencing the strong hatred shown by the deceased with that tragic death,
Everyone present couldn't help but look at Okino Yoko, whose face was as pale as paper.
Yoko Okino is the owner of this room.
The deceased deliberately committed suicide here. Who else could he want to blame?
Even with an average IQ in forensics class, he can immediately think of the answer:
"Miss Yoko."
"I guess you've noticed it yourself, right?"
"The deceased was still holding a golden hair tightly in his hand."
"If I guess correctly, this hair should be yours, right?"
Lin Xinyi looked at Okino Yoko with extremely sharp eyes.
When this big star was questioned by the police before, he said that he did not know the deceased at all.
"You are the one the deceased wants to blame!"
"Are you sure you really have nothing to do with the deceased?"
"I" Okino Yoko's eyes flickered, and her delicate facial features were full of complexity.
Agent Yamagishi Eiichi winked at her crazily, but she finally sighed helplessly and was ready to stand up and tell everything.
Before Okino Yoko could say anything, Lin Xinyi asked calmly:
"Is he your ex-boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Okino Yoko was slightly startled: "H-how do you know?"
"Because of hate."
"Because of that cruel, crazy, reckless hatred."
Lin Xinyi let out a long sigh and recalled the shocking cases he had studied and handled:
"It sounds ridiculous to say, but speaking from my experience:"
"Men and women of the same age who can generate such hatred are either lovers or couples."
