Chapter 182 Completely destroyed scene
About twenty minutes later, a large team of police officers arrived at the scene.
Naturally, this also includes the forensic team headed by Lin Xinyi, Mao Lilan and Asai Chengmi.
When arriving at the scene, the first thing to do is to understand the basic situation with the reporter.
And after seeing those few little reporters.
"Conan, are you the one who reported the crime?"
Mao Lilan, who had just received the police call and rushed from home, did not expect to meet Conan here.
Lin Xinyi was not shocked at all by Conan's appearance.
At most, I just lamented that the school's seal on the God of Death was not as effective as expected. It couldn't be managed in a day, and it failed right out of the school gate.
What surprised him was: "Xiao Ai?"
Lin Xinyi was a little surprised to see that his little girlfriend was also at the scene.
But he quickly figured out that Xiao Ai must have been affected by Conan's halo of bad luck and got involved in this case.
Alas. Why didn't you listen to me and still got together with this little pervert Conan?
Lin Xinyi was a little depressed.
But now, in the midst of a murder, is not the time to teach children to be careful when making friends.
What's more, Hui Yuan Ai's status is sensitive, and Lin Xinyi can't be in front of others for the time being, and he acts too familiar with her.
"Forget it, let's investigate the case first."
So, pretending not to know his girlfriend, Lin Xinyi solemnly learned about the case from Conan, who was the reporter.
"You saw a body in the bathroom of that villa twenty minutes ago?"
"That's right." Conan nodded, and specifically added:
"For more than twenty minutes, we have been hiding across the road and observing secretly."
"The front door of the villa has never been opened, and no one has been seen entering or exiting from this side."
"As for the sound."
"Because we are separated by a road, there are all kinds of noise disturbances on the road."
"We couldn't hear clearly whether there was any sound coming from the villa."
As a witness, Conan can still play a great role.
Under his methodical narration, Lin Xinyi quickly grasped the facts of the case.
The more timely the on-site investigation is, the better. If it is too late, important clues may be missed.
Therefore, Lin Xinyi did not bother to say hello to Miss Haiyuan who had been watching him silently, so he turned around and said to Mao Lilan, who was his assistant next to him:
"Come on, let's go into the villa and take a look."
"Yeah." Mao Lilan nodded.
She didn't care about why Conan appeared here, turned around and followed Lin Xinyi towards the villa.
Conan was left behind by the two of them and blocked outside the courtyard gate of the villa, feeling a little uncomfortable:
He suddenly discovered that he didn't know when he started, but he was even a little accustomed to this kind of soy sauce life that Xiaolan and Lin Xinyi had left behind, and he was not even qualified to enter the crime scene.
As a former famous detective, this is undoubtedly a tragedy.
Conan couldn't help but sigh at the fate of his life.
But at this time, Hui Yuan Ai quietly came to his ear and said in a cold tone:
"Hey Kudo, can you tell your girlfriend:"
"Tell her to keep her distance and stay away from my boyfriend."
Conan: "."
I still want to say this!
But Xiaolan has become Lin Xinyi's personal assistant, and no matter how hard she keeps the distance, she can't keep it far.
It's okay to watch his girlfriend investigating the case with other men, but now he has to listen to that man's girlfriend making sarcastic remarks to him, telling his girlfriend to stay away from that man.
Alas. What is this?
Conan felt very aggrieved.
Lin Xinyi, who had just walked into the villa gate, suddenly stepped back with a gloomy expression.
"Why, do you have anything else to ask me?" Conan was a little confused.
But Lin Xinyi knelt down next to him and said with a serious expression:
"Who told you to whisper to my girlfriend like this?"
"I'm warning you, you must maintain a social distance of more than one meter when talking to her, and don't get too close!"
Conan: "."
It's obviously because you and my girlfriend are too close, and your girlfriend came to talk to me in order to keep my girlfriend away from you!
Thinking about this complicated relationship that was like a tongue twister, Conan felt even more frustrated.
After teaching Conan a lesson, Lin Xinyi quickly turned his attention back to the case itself.
He first led the team to the door of the villa and tried to ring the doorbell.
No one answered the door.
Then take a closer look at the door lock of the door:
"The door was closed and there was no sign of picking the lock."
"Go to the window over there and see if the body is still in the bathroom as the reporter said."
Lin Xinyi checked the door lock carefully, then turned to give instructions to his subordinates.
Several police officers walked to the yard on the side of the villa, and under Conan's instructions, put their heads in front of the bathroom window:
"The body. The body is still inside!"
"Manager Lin, yes, there is a body in the bathroom!"
The murderer didn't seem to dispose of the body at all.
The scene in the bathroom was almost exactly the same as what Conan saw more than twenty minutes ago.
The shower head on the bathtub was still running water, washing the body below and the bathroom floor.
"There is absolutely no difference between the scene and what Conan described."
"Did the murderer leave the villa twenty minutes ago when Conan found the body?"
Lin Xinyi secretly speculated in his heart.
At this time, several police officers who circled around the villa quickly made a new discovery:
"Manager Lin, the French door on the other side of the villa is broken!"
"The murderer may have broken the glass door and then broke into the villa from the yard."
"Oh? Take me to see it."
Lin Xinyi followed him around to the other side of the villa and saw that the situation was exactly as the police officers said:
The floor-to-ceiling glass door was violently smashed, and large pieces of glass were scattered all over the floor.
Through the glass door, you can see the living room inside:
The living room was a mess.
The drawers of the coffee table and TV cabinet were violently opened.
The items stored inside were randomly picked out and scattered all over the floor.
When people first look at this scene, they will involuntarily make a guess:
"Is this place being robbed?"
In addition, what is even more strange is:
"Why is there so much water on the living room floor?"
"No, it's not just the living room and the floor of the villa. Why is there water everywhere?"
Seeing this strange scene like a flood in front of him, Asai Narumi, who was accompanying Lin Shinichi, couldn't help but be a little stunned and confused.
And when he carefully walked into the villa through the broken glass door, he discovered:
It turned out that the faucet in the villa was always on.
And it’s not just one faucet that’s turned on, but all the faucets in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, etc.
The faucets were turned to full capacity, and the sink below was blocked with a stopper.
The excess accumulated tap water overflowed the pool and flowed to the ground, covering almost every floor on the first floor of the villa like water flooding a golden mountain.
"This was done by the murderer?"
"Why would he turn on the faucet and soak the floor with standing water?"
Asai Narumi had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but be curious.
And Mao Lilan, who has been focusing on trace inspection since joining the forensics class, has already smelled a hint of trouble from this strange scene in front of her:
"The murderer allowed water to accumulate on the floor, probably to hide the traces."
"That's right."
Lin Xinyi echoed with a serious expression:
"This guy has a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance."
"He used a large amount of tap water to wash the floor in order to use the accumulated water to destroy the blood stains and dust footprints that might be on the floor."
"This is undoubtedly a huge trouble for our on-site investigation work."
"And, look"
He paused slightly and pointed to the broken glass door:
"There is a lawn outside the glass door, and a relatively rough road surface outside the lawn."
"You must know that it is difficult to extract footprints with complete shapes on relatively rough and uneven objects such as lawns and cement roads."
"If the murderer entered and exited the scene through the road and lawn, it would be almost impossible for us to extract the murderer's footprints outside the house."
"And the floor inside the villa was washed away by the water, making it extremely difficult to extract the dust footprints."
"That is to say."
"Footprints, which are second only to DNA in importance at crime scenes, have been almost cleaned up by the murderer."
"This" After hearing this, everyone's eyes became a little solemn.
Especially Mao Lilan, who was in charge of trace inspection, said with some worry:
"The murderer's thoughts are so meticulous, I'm afraid it's more than just footprints."
"I guess it will be difficult to collect fingerprints, skin scrapings, and other testing materials, right?"
Since the other party knew how to clean the footprints by washing them with water, they would definitely not forget the other two key traces.
And what's even more troublesome is.
"There were obvious signs of rummaging at the scene, and items were scattered. It looked like an outsider had broken into, robbed, or killed someone after an accidental conflict with the owner."
"If this is the case, then the murderer and the deceased may not have had any social relations at all."
"Then if we can no longer find key clues such as footprints and fingerprints, wouldn't we have no way to lock down the identity of the murderer?"
Mao Lilan frowned tightly, and Asai Narumi was also thinking hard.
The atmosphere quietly became solemn.
But Lin Xinyi shook his head gently:
"No, maybe, this can actually point us to the direction of the investigation."
"What do you mean?" Mao Lilan and Asai Narumi were both a little confused: "The scene has been destroyed like this, is it still good for the investigation?"
"It's because the scene was cleaned so thoroughly that it makes people suspicious."
Lin Xinyi explained methodically:
"Breaking into and robbing a house to commit murder, or committing a burglary and committing a murder, the murderer's original intention is to make money."
"They often kill out of impulse and are not familiar with the place where the crime was committed. They often dare not stay for a long time after killing."
"It is very rare in actual cases to calmly stay at the scene and clean up the traces after the murder, as if it was a premeditated murder."
"Generally speaking, when the signs of home invasion and robbery appear when the property in the home has been turned over, and the murderer patiently cleans up the traces, both appear at the same time."
"The truth is often that an acquaintance commits the crime and fakes the scene, trying to blame the murder on the non-existent home invasion robber."
"They were afraid that the traces left at the scene would expose themselves, so they spent so much time cleaning up the place."
Based on his own experience in handling cases, Lin Xinyi expressed his speculation.
But just speaking from experience obviously cannot convince Mao Lilan and Asai Chengmi, who have been "brainwashed" by him and have become more focused on evidence than reasoning.
"It's just speculation, but we can't draw a conclusion!"
"Is there any evidence that can prove your statement, Mr. Lin?"
"This depends on everyone's efforts."
Lin Xinyi did not come to a conclusion based on reasoning alone, but commanded in a calm tone:
"Everyone, let's start the investigation."
"The murderer is already issuing a challenge to us."
"Let's see how clean he can be!"
