Chapter 348 Reverse favorability
Lin Xinyi's comfort was very effective.
Sato Miwako's face immediately turned pale.
She dreamed of becoming a police officer who practiced justice like her father, but due to lack of ability, she committed such a ridiculous unjust, false and wrong case.
The real killer went free for a whole year.
To this day, he is still killing people wantonly.
And the horror doesn't stop there.
According to the cockroach theory, when you discover an unjust, false, and wrongful conviction, there may actually be a nest of unjust, false, and wrongly convicted cases somewhere that you cannot see.
Sato Miwako couldn't help but think of her recent experience of almost arresting Mr. B, who was framed after being drunk, as a murderer.
If it hadn't been for the help of Asai Narumi who used forensic methods to prove Mr. B's innocence that time, she would have had to handle a confusing case again in a muddle.
"So I'm just a confused and incompetent third-rate police officer?"
Miss Miwako, who had previously had unlimited confidence in her work, couldn't help but begin to doubt her life.
"Ms. Sato."
Takagi Sheba carefully wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the words reached his lips and he couldn't say them out.
Dish is the original sin and cannot be washed.
How to comfort this? Isn't it her fault?
The two men were silent and confused for a while.
In the end, Asai Narumi, who was still affiliated with the forensics department and completely stayed out of the matter, looked over with some complaints:
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing?"
Why speak so directly?
Asai Narumi wanted to speak but stopped.
But Lin Xinyi still understood the complaint in his eyes.
"Well" Lin Xinyi couldn't help but frown slightly:
Is there anything wrong with what he said?
Didn't he already slow down his tone to comfort him?
However, looking at the pale face of this flower girl from the Metropolitan Police Department, the simple comfort I just gave may not be enough.
"Cheer up, Miss Sato."
Lin Xin thought for a while and comforted:
"You were not the only one responsible for handling the case at that time."
"If something goes wrong, you shouldn't have to bear it alone."
"In the final analysis, there is a problem with the overall quality of the personnel in your search section. There is no need for you to blame yourself for this."
Sato, Shiratori, Takagi: "."
The atmosphere is still not lively.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the level is different."
“You can learn and progress even if your level is different.”
"If there is a problem with the attitude in handling the case, if the belief collapses and the morals are corrupted, then it is truly hopeless."
Lin Xinyi continued to comfort him very sincerely.
And he did think so.
But Miss Sato Miwako stood there with even more self-blame and shame, speechless for a long time.
Looking at this look, instead of cheering up, she looked pitiful and wanted to continue bowing and apologizing in humiliation.
"enough!"
Lin Xinyi finally could no longer comfort him:
This is the Metropolitan Police Department with a rookie per capita.
If in a normal police system, such a report and criticism of a police officer who made an unjust, false and wrong case would be considered light, how could the leader comfort her in turn?
Is the leader her father?
Anyway, Lin Xinyi is not and has no interest in being:
"Miwako Sato, if you want to bow, go to the family of the deceased!"
"Could it be that just by bowing and apologizing here, you can make the murderer fall into a trap?"
"Since you have made a mistake and you know it, then please make up for it!"
Shiratori and Takagi were stunned for a while:
Are the police officers scolded again?
How could anyone be willing to scold such a lovely Miss Miwako? !
"Mr. Lin, you"
Asai Narumi instinctively wanted to say something nice for her best friend.
But Sato Miwako stopped him:
"No need, Asai."
"I've figured it out."
Miss Miwako’s face no longer had the guilt and confusion she had just shown.
Lin Xinyi's scolding made her wake up:
Yes, she had made mistakes, and she had to try her best to make up for them.
"Manager Lin said this for my own good."
"There's no use blaming yourself here."
"I will definitely learn from my shame and be brave, and try my best to handle this case!"
Sato Miwako bit her lip tightly and expressed her stance to Lin Shinichi seriously.
"That's good."
Lin Xinyi simply did not play the role of a warm-hearted leader who was easy to talk to:
"I won't speak nicely because I'm here to handle the case, not to have a relationship with colleagues."
"If you want to hear good things, then handle the case for me!"
"Yes!" Sato Miwako responded seriously.
After being scolded like this, the admiration for Lin Xinyi in her eyes did not decrease but increased, and became even stronger:
"Manager Lin is different from everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department."
"It's my honor to work with you on the case!"
Shiratori, Takagi: "."
They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes:
Is there any mistake?
Lin Xinyi scolded people so mercilessly, and even increased Miss Miwako's favorability.
Could it be that Miss Miwako doesn't actually like being pleased by men, but prefers this kind of style?
Then follow Manager Lin’s approach.
Isn’t it that Miss Miwako is going to fall deeper and deeper?
As I thought about it, the sense of crisis came up again inexplicably.
"Okay." Lin Xinyi didn't even notice the subtle looks in Shiratiao and Takagi's eyes.
After appeasing his subordinates' emotions, he went straight back to the topic:
"Now we can basically confirm that the suicide case of Dr. Nino a year ago was actually a homicide disguised as suicide."
"And the suspect who killed him"
The biggest suspect is naturally the minister's son, Toshiya Odagiri.
Because he was witnessed to have a fierce conflict with Ninoho a few days before his death.
Lin Xinyi thought for a while and tried to ask Sato Miwako:
"Sato, do you know the reason why Odagiri Toshiya had a conflict with the deceased?"
"This." Sato Miwako quickly got into work mode: "When we investigated a year ago, we did not find out the results."
"But when the inquiry was recently reopened, the minister told us:"
"The reason why his son had a conflict with Dr. Nino was"
"It's because Odagiri Toshiya is rebellious and behaves erratically, so his family deprived him of living expenses and pocket money."
"Dr. Nino took advantage of his position to illegally sell drugs. As a result, Odagiri Toshiya, who was financially strapped, accidentally caught him and used it to extort money from him."
"This" Lin Xinyi had nothing to say:
The son of the dignified criminal minister actually blackmailed people in private?
Is this already illegal?
No wonder Minister Odagiri was embarrassed to explain the situation to him directly, but asked him to come over and ask Sato Miwako, who was responsible for investigating the case.
Lin Xinyi thought for a moment: "What about Odagiri Toshiya, is he left-handed or right-handed?"
"It seems like" Sato Miwako carefully recalled her experience in handling the case a year ago: "It seems like she is left-handed!"
"Is he left-handed?"
Lin Xinyi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"What's wrong?" Several police officers were curious.
Only Narumi Asai reacted the fastest:
"The murderer is most likely also left-handed."
"Because according to the on-site investigation records, the blood shot from the carotid artery of the deceased even splashed onto the TV wall 1.8 meters away without any obstruction."
"And it was evenly distributed and spread over a wide area. There were blood droplets sprayed from the ceiling to the floor."
"This shows that the deceased should have been standing at the time, and there was no obstruction in front of him. The murderer held his head and supported his body from behind with one hand, and cut off his neck with the other hand."
"And if you kill people in this posture."
Narumi Asai simulated a gesture of wiping someone's neck from behind:
"Hold the knife with your right hand, and the incision left on the deceased's neck should be from left to right."
"And the cuts on the deceased's neck were from right to left."
"This shows that the murderer was probably left-handed. He held the knife with his left hand and cut the deceased's neck from right to left from behind."
"I see." The expressions of Sato, Shiratori, and Takagi became more solemn:
Odagiri Satoshi also had a motive.
And he happens to be left-handed.
The characteristics of the minister's son are increasingly consistent with those of the criminal, which is something no police officer wants to see.
“However, that’s not necessarily the case.”
Asai Narumi thought for a while and added:
"Because the murder weapon used by the murderer was a scalpel."
"With the sharpness of the scalpel, it doesn't take much effort to cut through the skin and subcutaneous tissue with just a single stroke, and cut off the trachea and carotid artery."
"So, if I were to kill someone with a scalpel."
"I might choose to use my more dominant right hand to hold the deceased's head. This can prevent the other party from struggling and resisting to the greatest extent."
"Then hold the knife with your left hand - it doesn't matter if you are not dominant with your left hand, anyway, you can kill the deceased with just one stroke."
Narumi Asai analyzed the movements and gestures of killing people with a scalpel very clearly.
It looked like it had been practiced in private.
"Well"
"So, the possibility that the murderer is right-handed is not small."
"Then our future investigations will focus on left-handed people. At the same time, we cannot ignore right-handed suspects."
"In short, it is better to cast the net wider than to let the fish escape."
Lin Xinyi followed Asai Narumi's thoughts and concluded, but his expression couldn't help but be a little weird:
Narumi Asai is a doctor.
When he was preparing his revenge plan, he might have really thought about how to use his best scalpel to kill people, right?
"Wait. Scalpel?"
Lin Xinyi suddenly thought of something:
"Did the murderer bring the scalpel himself, or was it taken from the crime scene, which is the deceased's home?"
"Of course it was taken from the deceased's house."
Miwako Sato quickly answered:
"The deceased Dr. Nino had an instrument box in his home that stored various surgical tools. There was a scalpel handle missing and a newly torn wrapping paper for a disposable surgical blade."
"Because the murder weapon was originally taken from the deceased's home, and it was a scalpel that the deceased was good at using before his death, we judged that he committed suicide at that time."
The deceased, Ninoho, was an expert in heart surgery.
Like Lin Xinyi, he is a doctor who relies on the scalpel to make a living.
Some of these doctors will keep a set of surgical instruments at home, and usually use pig skins, pig hearts, grapes and other things to simulate the human body to practice cutting and suturing techniques.
So it was normal to find surgical instruments in his house.
It is normal for the murderer to think of Dr. Ninoho's identity and go out of his way to kill someone with a scalpel and pretend to commit suicide.
"I see."
Lin Xin nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.
He no longer continued the discussion with several subordinates, but suddenly picked up the pile of case information and looked through it carefully.
As he expected, the police officers from the Forensic Division who were involved in handling the case were not good at anything, but they were good at taking photos.
They were not afraid of wasting film and photographed the crime scene inside and out.
The murder weapon, the surgical instrument box from which the murder weapon was taken, and even the original scene around the instrument box were completely recorded.
This played a huge role in Lin Xinyi's investigation at this moment.
He took a few photos and pondered over them, and suddenly said:
"Odagiri Toshiya"
"He shouldn't be the murderer."
