Chapter 248 Difficult to judge the circumstances of the case

With doubts, Lin Xinyi quickly followed Belmode out of the house.

They were not busy going to the Metropolitan Police Department, but drove directly to the hospital where Tsuji Hiroki was at the moment.

Lin Xinyi had a vague hunch. He felt that the key to the case was probably the "accident" that happened to Tsuji Hiroki.

So he was eager to rush over as soon as possible to see Mr. Tsuji Hiroki who survived the catastrophe.

"Teacher, drive faster."

Even though he was about to drive to the hospital, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but urge him.

"Yeah." Belmode responded naturally and increased the accelerator.

Her expression was very serious, and there was concentration in her eyes.

Although it is a bit strange to say this, Belmode, who followed Lin Xinyi to investigate the case, made people feel a bit upright.

If it weren't for the fact that the sports car was so luxurious, and that Belmode himself was so beautiful that it was a little unrealistic, Lin Xinyi felt like he was on a police mission with his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Finally, he felt that something was not right.

Belmod, a die-hard criminal, was so cooperative in assisting in solving the case, and even followed the case more enthusiastically than he did.

Unknowingly, this organization's Thousand-Faced Witch seems to have become the main criminal investigation force of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The person who died last time was a member of the organization. It makes sense that Belmode was so enthusiastic."

"But this case clearly has nothing to do with the interests of the organization, but she shows even more concern than the last time."

"really."

Lin Xinyi thought so in his heart, and asked directly:

"Teacher, it's because this case is related to Miss Mao Lilan, because the murderer's target may also include Miss Mao Li."

"Are you so concerned about the investigation of the case?"

Belmode was silent for a while, and then sighed softly:

"You noticed."

"What is your relationship with Miss Maori?" Lin Xinyi asked nervously and expectantly.

"This is the teacher's secret, and this secret is..."

Belmode was silent and tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers.

After a period of rhythmic knocking, Lin Xinyi only received a smile:

"Look out the window -"

"It turns out that the legendary 'water crystal' is near this hospital!"

She actually treated Lin Xinyi as a child and used the trick of "Look, there are aliens" to get rid of the question that Lin Xinyi was looking forward to.

"." Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while.

But I have to say that the "quick look" trick is indeed effective every time.

Although Lin Xinyi didn't want to cooperate with the teacher in playing such a childish game, he couldn't help but follow Belmod's gaze and turned his head to look out the window.

And there was a strange scene outside the window, which happened to catch his eye:

I saw a strange and magnificent skyscraper standing alone in the harbor of Tokyo.

That magnificent building is like a gem embedded in the sea, surrounded by blue water on all sides, with only a suspended tram track connecting it to the land.

"water crystal"

Lin Xinyi also knows the name of this building:

Aqua Crystal, which often appears on TV recently, is a water skyscraper built entirely on an artificial island invested and built by a wealthy man.

"It is built alone in the sea water, and you can only rely on trams to get in and out."

"There should be no such strange buildings in reality."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but sigh at this rare sight.

And when he was feeling emotional unconsciously, the sports car had slowly stopped:

"Let's go, the hospital is here."

When Lin Xinyi and Belmode rushed to the hospital ward, they were greeted by Maori and his daughter, as well as Sawaki Hiroshi, who brought Tsuji Hiroki to the hospital in the middle of the night.

In addition, several police officers assigned to protect Tsuji Hiroki were also stationed outside the ward at this moment.

"How is Mr. Tsuji doing now?"

Lin Xinyi frowned when he saw Tsuji Hiroki sleeping soundly on the hospital bed.

"The person is fine, but he is still in a coma."

"The doctor said Mr. Tsuji should wake up soon."

"That's good." Lin Xin nodded: "When Mr. Tsuji wakes up, I want to ask some questions."

"this."

Mao Lilan replied helplessly:

"I'm afraid Mr. Tsuji can't answer anything."

"He woke up once when he was rescued, but he seemed to be unable to remember anything because he drank too much."

"Really?" Lin Xinyi moved his gaze thoughtfully to Sawaki Kojiro, who was waiting outside the ward: "Who is this?"

"This is Mr. Sawaki." Mao Lilan introduced carefully:

"He is my father's friend, and he also knows Mr. Tsuji."

"When Mr. Tsuji met with an accident yesterday, he was at the scene just like my father."

"oh?"

Lin Xinyi's eyes became a little subtle:

Is this Mr. Sawaki also a friend of Uncle Mori?

Then he must be very familiar with Mouri Kogoro's social circle and meet the conditions for committing a crime.

Moreover, he happened to appear at the scene of yesterday's "accident".

This guy is very suspicious.

Lin Xinyi looked at Zemuheibo carefully.

Seeing Mr. Sawaki's calm expression and no guilt, he simply did not go to chat with Mr. Sawaki, but continued to whisper to Mao Lilan:

"Miss Maori, are you sure what happened last night was an accident?"

"I'm sure of that."

Mao Lilan hesitated, but finally nodded vigorously.

As she said that, she seriously recounted how she examined Tsuji Hiroki's injuries yesterday.

"Except for the pillow marks on his face, there were no other injuries on his body."

"The buccal mucosa, lip mucosa, and facial muscles are intact, there is no subcutaneous bleeding on the scalp, and there is no hair loss caused by violence."

"if it is like this"

"Indeed, it can only be explained by accident."

Lin Xinyi murmured and repeated Mao Lilan's examination results, and simply took it upon himself to do another physical examination on Tsuji Hiroki on the hospital bed.

Compared with when he was first discovered in the middle of the night, the bruises and swelling on Tsuji Hiroki’s face had subsided a lot.

But you can vaguely see the large area of ​​cyanosis from the cheeks to the neck, and even the shoulders.

"The signs of suffocation are very serious."

"Generally, people who are suffocated to death rarely develop such severe facial cyanosis."

"Maybe it's because you've been bored for too long, right?"

Mao Lilan explained:

"I have learned about the guests who drank with Mr. Tsuji."

"When I went upstairs to look for them, they had been sleeping upstairs for some time."

"He must have been suffocated for a long time. With his breathing blocked, if he hadn't been in good physical condition, he might have been suffocated to death."

"Yeah" Lin Xin nodded in agreement:

Theoretically, the process of asphyxia is divided into the early stage, the inspiratory dyspnea period, the expiratory dyspnea period, the terminal no-breathing period, and the respiratory cessation period.

This whole process is actually very long. In the final respiratory arrest period, breathing stops, but there is still a weak heartbeat, which lasts from several minutes to dozens of minutes before death.

But in actual situations, people often cannot persist that long.

Because at any stage of the above-mentioned asphyxiation process, the patient may die suddenly due to cardiac arrest.

The better your physical fitness, the longer you can endure suffocation.

The longer you persist, the more obvious signs of suffocation will appear on your body.

So according to what Mao Lilan said, if Tsuji Hiroki was really suffocated for a long time before he was discovered, and experienced suffocation for a long time, it is indeed possible that such severe facial cyanosis would occur.

"From the current point of view, it does look like an accident."

Lin Xinyi checked carefully and found that there was no error in Mao Lilan's judgment.

Let him come, and he can only come to the conclusion of "accident".

"That"

Lin Xinyi changed his mind and asked:

"Ms. Mori, are you sure that Mr. Tsuji Hiroki laid down on the pillow by himself?"

"Could someone have deliberately put him in this pose while he was drunk?"

Sometimes, accidents can also be man-made.

Just like Lin Xinyi said, while others are drunk, let them sleep with their faces on the pillow.

People who are severely drunk have paralyzed muscles and have difficulty turning over in their sleep.

And if you fail to turn over successfully when suffocating, you may suffocate yourself to death.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but wonder whether Tsuji Hiroki was deliberately put into this appearance and an accident was artificially created.

But Mao Lilan's answer was:

"No, my dad remembers it very clearly."

"Before he cut off the footage, he saw Mr. Tsuji himself swaying and sleeping on the pillow."

"Is that so?"

Lin Xinyi's eyes became solemn:

The deceased was lying on the pillow by himself, so this incident was indeed a simple accident with a high probability.

"Mr. Lin, I know what you are thinking."

Mao Lilan leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice and said:

"I was also suspicious of Mr. Sawaki at first."

"So after that, I asked a few of Mr. Tsuji's friends at the party."

"According to what they said, Mr. Sawaki and Mr. Tsuji don't actually know each other very well."

"He was only invited by Mr. Tsuji to attend a few parties, and nothing particularly unpleasant happened at the party. Therefore, he had no reason to attack Mr. Tsuji."

From the perspective of others, Sawaki Heibo had no motive to kill Tsuji Hiroki.

They only had a few interactions at work.

Tsuji Hiroki may have made jokes about Sawaki a few times at parties, but in the eyes of others, jokes of that level were definitely not serious enough to require killing.

After all, if you work in the service industry, how can you not meet a few Shabis throughout the year?

If a guest makes a few jokes, he will be killed.

How did Mr. Zeiki persist in working for so many years?

Everyone thinks so, so according to normal people's thinking, Sawaki Koei does not look like a murderer at all.

"I see, Miss Maori, you have also done some research in this area."

Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly:

He immediately conducted a physical examination, surveyed the scene, and secretly investigated the relationship between Sawaki Hiroshi and Tsuji Hiroki.

Mao Lilan has done enough careful work.

She didn't just pat her head and conclude that it was an accident, but made a very rigorous judgment.

"But." Lin Xinyi paused slightly:

"Go out and talk to those two police officers and ask them to follow Sawaki Fairly at all times."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked surprised: "Why, Mr. Lin, my judgment was wrong?"

"Isn't Mr. Tsuji's suffocation an accident?"

"No, this was probably an accident."

Lin Xinyi did not make a conclusion.

He stared closely at the bruises on Tsuji Hiroki's shoulders and upper chest, and his tone became extremely serious:

"But there is still an unlikely possibility."

"We can only tell when Mr. Detsuji wakes up."
