Chapter 232 Unexpected test results
After a long autopsy and investigation, it was late at night.
Everyone was still sitting in the office waiting for Lin Xinyi's investigation results, but the atmosphere was completely different from the beginning.
At this time, Matsumoto Masaru sat absentmindedly on the chair, his face pale and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
He had obviously vaguely realized from what Lin Xinyi said before the autopsy that his son's mysterious death was related to his violent beating three days ago.
Such speculation made him very nervous.
Mrs. Matsubara, who had completely broken up with her husband, sat at the other end of the office with a sad face.
Her eyes were full of sadness and anger, and occasionally there would be tears.
"enough!"
Seeing his wife's tears that seemed to be silently accusing him of his crimes, Matsubara Masaru felt irritated:
"Cry, cry, cry, just know how to cry."
"My son is not your biological son, so who are you acting for?"
Mrs. Matsubara's tears stagnated, and she looked even more haggard.
Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan couldn't help but stood in front of Mrs. Matsubara:
"Mr. Matsubara, it's too much for you to speak like this!"
"Don't you feel a little guilty for doing such a cruel thing to your wife and children?!"
Seeing that this previously obedient little girl dared to mock him like this, Matsubara Sheng subconsciously wanted to get angry.
But now he no longer had the moral advantage, not to mention that there was still Belmode's cold eyes staring at him.
Matsubara Sheng held it in for a long time, and finally retracted his head angrily.
Looking at Mao Lilan's angry eyes, he muttered to himself unconvinced:
"I told the truth"
"Don't be fooled by her sympathetic tears. That woman's relationship with Kenichi is not much better!"
"you?!"
Mao Lilan was a little angry:
This bastard had all the scandalous things he had done exposed, but he still didn't forget to smear his wife who was also a victim.
She never imagined that there could be such a shameless husband and such a cold-blooded father in the world.
At this moment, being contrasted by the stinky and dirty Matsubara Sheng, Mao Lilan suddenly felt that her father, who also drank alcohol, gambled on horses, and had no future, seemed to have become a perfect father.
At least Kogoro really loves his family, and is less likely to commit domestic violence.
Of course, if he is really drunk and violent, there is no telling who will be hospitalized in the end.
Mao Lilan thought so in her heart, her eyes looking at Matsumoto Masaru were even more filled with anger, and her eyes looking at Mrs. Matsumoto were even more full of sympathy.
At this time, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the office.
Lin Xinyi and Asai Narumi walked in the door with serious expressions, carrying a freshly released autopsy report.
"Are there any results?"
Matsubara Sheng stood up nervously.
Mrs. Matsubara and Mao Lilan immediately cast expectant glances.
Even Belmode, who was indifferent to the case at first, had a hint of curiosity in his eyes unconsciously.
"Yes, there is a result."
Lin Xinyi slowly raised the autopsy report in his hand:
"Through the autopsy, we can now confirm that the deceased Kenichi Matsubara died of acute renal failure caused by 'crush syndrome.'"
"In other words, his death was entirely caused by Mr. Matsumoto Masaru's violent beating of the deceased three days ago!"
"Wha, what?!" Matsumoto Masaru's face turned pale: "That's nonsense. Are you kidding me!"
"My son has been fine these past three days. How could he die from those minor injuries?"
"And what is this 'crush syndrome'?!"
he asked in a panic.
Mao Lilan and Mrs. Matsubara on the side also immediately showed doubtful eyes.
"Alas" Lin Xinyi sighed deeply: "Ignorance!"
He briefly explained about crush syndrome.
Then, he looked at Mrs. Matsubara with emotion:
"Mrs. Matsubara."
"The deceased should have been pale, short of breath, and had cold limbs before he was alive, right?"
"Among them, that is a sign that the crush syndrome has developed to a serious level, and it is necessary to send him to the hospital for treatment immediately."
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Matsubara nodded slowly.
And under Lin Xinyi's "comprehensive" gaze, a look of guilt and sadness quickly appeared on her face:
"When Kenichi went out to buy drinks in the afternoon, his face was already frighteningly white."
"I even asked Kenichi if he wanted to go to the hospital."
"But the kid said he was fine, and I didn't know about this crush syndrome thing, so I just let him go."
"This is all my fault," Mrs. Matsubara said sadly, "If I had cared more about him at that time, Kenichi would not have died."
"Mrs. Matsubara." Mao Lilan sympathetically supported Mrs. Matsubara's shaky body: "Don't be too sad."
"You don't know about crush syndrome, it's not your fault."
"No--"
Lin Xinyi's voice suddenly turned cold:
"This is her fault."
"Mrs. Matsubara, do you really not know about crush syndrome?!"
"." Mrs. Matsubara's expression suddenly froze.
Everyone present, especially Mao Lilan, whose face was full of sympathy, were even more horrified:
"Mr. Lin, you, what are you talking about?"
"You mean Mrs. Matsubara knew about crush syndrome in advance, but she didn't let Mr. Kenichi go to the hospital for treatment?"
"Yes, but what Mrs. Matsubara did was not just as simple as not sending her son to the hospital."
Lin Xinyi shook his head, his eyes became sharper:
As soon as he entered the door, he put the blame entirely on Matsumoto Masaru alone, in order to make Mrs. Matsubara think that her plan had succeeded and relax her vigilance.
Trying another story, Mrs. Matsubara really wanted to prove that Matsumoto was guilty of manslaughter and told her that she had seen symptoms of the deceased before his death.
Moreover, he also told the lie that he "didn't know about crush syndrome".
but the fact is
"Colleagues from the Search Section 1 have found Mrs. Matsubara's two previous hospitalization records and contacted her attending physician at the time."
"According to the doctor, Mrs. Matsubara was hospitalized twice in a coma due to serious injuries caused by domestic violence. During her hospitalization, she developed symptoms of crush syndrome."
"And he also personally explained her condition to Mrs. Matsubara."
"So, as a patient with crush syndrome, it is impossible for Mrs. Matsubara not to know about this."
Lin Xinyi told the cold truth.
Mrs. Matsubara's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes were full of guilt.
Everyone was shocked by the news, but Lin Xinyi recounted in pursuit of victory:
"And we found through the autopsy that the deceased had not only blunt force injuries caused by domestic violence, but also crushing injuries caused by long-term pressure from heavy objects."
"This second type of crush injury was obviously caused by someone who understood the mechanism of crush syndrome in order to aggravate the deceased's condition and push him to a dead end."
"And Mrs. Matsubara."
Lin Xinyi looked at Mrs. Matsubara coldly:
"My colleagues also happened to investigate your purchase record of the sleeping drug 'flunitrazepam' at a pharmacy near your home."
"Judging from the doctor's prescription you provided at the time that was kept by the pharmacy -"
"The doctor's prescription you used to buy the medicine was completely forged without permission!"
"So, can you explain?"
He pressed forward step by step, and his tone became more and more severe:
"Why would you fake a prescription for a powerful sleeping pill?"
"You clearly know about crush syndrome, why did you just say you didn't know about it?"
"You saw that the deceased had symptoms of crush syndrome before he died, why didn't you send him to the hospital?!"
This series of question marks, like cannonballs, shattered the other party's originally strong psychological barriers.
Mrs. Matsubara looked so panicked that she couldn't even say a complete sentence: "I, I"
"Let me tell you—"
Lin Xin said word by word:
"Although the results of the blood test have not yet come out, I think there is a high probability that the residual component of the sleeping drug 'flunitrazepam' can be detected in the blood of the deceased."
"Because this is the medicine you bought specifically for killing this poor man, Mrs. Matsubara."
"You gave the deceased a sleeping pill, and while he was asleep, you continued to squeeze his arm with a heavy object."
"You used this method to secretly aggravate the deceased's condition and prevent him from going to the hospital. He will naturally die as you imagined!"
The atmosphere in the office became extremely strange.
Mao Lilan stared wide-eyed, her pure eyes filled with disbelief.
Belmode glanced at Mrs. Matsubara in surprise:
Was this woman just acting?
Even she was able to deceive her. With such acting skills, she would be able to win an Oscar.
But was that sadness really staged?
It feels like it's real.
Or is it that she killed someone but was still sad after the killing?
Love and hate, could it be because of such emotions?
Bellmode made a professional evaluation of Mrs. Matsubara's acting skills in his heart.
At this time, Matsumoto Masaru burst out shouting, breaking the strange dead air:
"You, you crazy woman"
"So it was you who killed my son?"
"Asshole! Do you, do you want to put the blame on me, make me go to jail, and then divorce me and take away my house?"
When the knife hit him, Matsumoto Masaru's brain suddenly became better.
And seeing her husband's ugly face, he still has the nerve to come out and accuse her.
Mrs. Matsubara suddenly didn’t want to pretend anymore.
"Ha ha ha ha."
A smile suddenly appeared on her face, the smile was twisted and filled with the joy of revenge:
"Yes, I was the one who killed your son!"
"I want you, a cold-blooded guy, to taste the pain of killing your own relatives with your own hands."
“But, I really didn’t expect it.”
Mrs. Matsubara smiled and burst into tears again:
"After learning that your son was dead, your first reaction was to ask for money?"
"It's. It's so ridiculous."
"Thankfully I thought you still had some humanity left in you."
"I didn't expect your heart to be so cold, so cold that the blood of your loved ones cannot melt."
"It seems that my carefully planned revenge was completely defeated by your shamelessness."
"I" Matsumoto Masaru had a fever on his face.
Mao Lilan on the side was already a little confused.
She has such a kind personality that after seeing such unimaginable ugliness, she couldn't help but collapse:
"M-Ms. Matsubara, what are you talking about?"
"Did you really kill Mr. Kenichi?!"
"Silly girl, don't think too much of others."
Facing Mao Lilan's pure and dazzling gaze, Mrs. Matsubara smiled self-deprecatingly:
"I am the one who killed the person."
"I saw that his condition seemed to be deteriorating these days, and I guessed that he might be suffering from crush syndrome."
"So, last night, I put sleeping pills in his water glass, and while he was sleeping, I pressed down on his arm."
"Kenichi this guy."
Mrs. Matsubara's eyes welled up with hatred:
"I have always raised him as my biological son, but he failed to live up to my expectations."
"He and his demonic father are parasites in this family. They are 24 years old and have no future. They have to rely on me to work to support them in order to survive!"
"And when I was seriously injured and hospitalized, he, like his cold-blooded father, didn't even come to see me."
Being cowardly and worthless was actually the fault of the deceased.
Mrs. Matsubara began to resent this child who had accomplished nothing and gradually regarded him as a burden.
During his hospitalization, his "cold-blooded behavior" of not coming to the hospital to visit his adoptive mother became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Mrs. Matsubara completely hated Kenichi.
"Ha ha."
There was sadness in her voice, but more of it was madness:
"Did I owe them, father and son, in my previous life?"
"They've sucked my blood enough, now it's time to pay back!"
Mrs. Matsubara hysterically vented her long-suppressed hatred.
As this case develops now, the truth has been revealed.
"It's over." Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.
He knew he had brought justice to the deceased.
This may be a victory, but it is too heavy to be happy.
And just when Lin Xinyi was about to stand up and officially bring an end to this tragedy.
"The blood test report from Kesouyan is out."
A police officer came from outside the door and handed over a report.
Lin Xinyi took the report casually, stood aside, and read it casually.
The case was solved, and he knew that the blood test results would not deviate from his previous guess.
"The blood potassium concentration is too high."
"Myoglobin is excessive."
"It's exactly what I thought."
Lin Xinyi looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed:
"Wait, this."
"What's wrong?" Asai Narumi next to him asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"No, not really"
Lin Xinyi looked a little shocked:
"No sleeping drug components were detected in the blood samples of the deceased."
