Chapter 366: Seeing a wound and recognizing a knife

"Then I'll be in trouble with Manager Lin from now on."

Officer Fangtani seemed not to understand the meaning of "I won't do it next time", and even added "in the future" to his words.

Immediately afterwards, this guy found a seat on the sofa and sat down very naturally, as if he was at home.

Officer Kazami is not as shameless as his colleague.

"Thank you for your help!" He bowed slightly to Lin Xinyi first, expressing his deep gratitude and respect.

Then he sat down on the sofa next to Officer Furuya, with his back straight and his head held high, slightly reserved.

"Officer Lin, this is the brief information on this case."

Officer Feng Jian took a serious look and reported his work to the leader, and opened the briefcase on his lap in an upright manner.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xinyi shouted to stop: "Does this kind of confidential case need to be avoided by other people?"

He wanted to take the opportunity to make both Bermod and Haibara Ai stay away from each other in the name of "avoiding suspicion" and avoid meeting with the rude and treacherous police officer Fangtani.

But the police officer Shitani obviously wanted to know more about his privacy:

"No, no need to avoid it."

"It is not yet certain that this case is related to that organization, and the case itself does not involve any confidentiality."

"It's just these contents, it doesn't matter if outsiders know about them."

"Okay." Lin Xinyi no longer insisted.

Anyway, so far, Haibara Ai and Belmode's performances are perfect.

Haibara Ai just regarded this as an ordinary morning, naturally avoiding the prying eyes of the police officer Feng Gu, and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

There is no need to go out of your way to perform any childlike innocence.

She naturally behaves like a child:

I saw Miss Haiyuan alone in the bathroom with the door open, struggling to stand on tiptoes, supporting the sink, and reaching for the towels on the wall cabinet once, twice, three times.

After several attempts, he failed, and his little face turned pink from the pain, but he still pursed his lips stubbornly, refusing to ask for help from adults.

No one would doubt such a cute little girl.

Compared with Haibara Ai, who plays the role as he is, natural and without any polish in his acting skills, Bermod is a traditional academic actor.

She has a calm and generous demeanor, and uses her superb acting skills and on-the-spot experience to play the role of Lin Xinyi's girlfriend so well that no one can see any flaws.

"Officer Furuya, Officer Kazami."

"Please have some tea!"

Belmode did not avoid these secret police who were supposed to be her natural enemies at all. Instead, she enthusiastically made a cup of hot tea for both guests and took the initiative to come closer with the tea.

"Thank you, Miss Chris."

Officer Furitani took the tea with a smile, and didn't look at Miss Chris anymore.

Obviously, even with his extraordinary eyesight, he couldn't see anything wrong with Belmod's performance.

"Okay, let's get to the point."

Lin Xinyi felt more at ease when he saw the "thief-like" Officer Jiangu no longer looking around.

He urged, bringing the conversation back to the case itself.

"Okay, let me tell you now what our police have learned."

Officer Feng Jian nodded seriously and finally took out the case information:

"The deceased's name is Ken Yamazaki, 43 years old, working for Baling Automobile Company, and his position is the chief engineer of body design."

"The crime occurred around 1 a.m. today, and the person who reported the crime was a neighbor of the deceased."

"The reporter got up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom. He happened to see Mr. Yamazaki's house next door brightly lit, and a dark figure climbed over the wall from the yard and left."

"Because the reporter was an elderly woman who lived alone and was afraid of danger, she did not dare to leave her house, so she just hid in her home and called the police."

"The police arrived at the scene 10 minutes later and found Mr. Yamazaki Ken already lying in a pool of blood and died of excessive blood loss."

"Because the victim is an employee of Baling Company."

"And last night, the identity of Baling Company Chairman Masuyama Kenzo was exposed and he was suspected to be a core member of a criminal organization."

"The identity and time of death of the deceased are very sensitive, so this case will be handed over to our police as soon as possible."

"I see."

Lin Xin nodded:

The deceased happened to be a person from Baling Company, and he happened to be killed in this troubled year. It is inevitable that people will think of:

Is this person related to the organization? Was his death an attempt by the organization to cover up something and kill someone to silence him?

It is precisely because of these doubts that the police took over the case.

But now, they are unable to determine whether the case is related to the organization.

"So we came to ask for the forest management officer."

"We would like to ask the forest management officer to try to characterize the case and at the same time find the real culprit for the deceased."

"Yeah, definitely."

Lin Xinyi's eyes quietly became firm.

He has secretly made up his mind that even if the case is related to the organization, he will get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, the police promised to keep his assistance in the investigation absolutely confidential.

Even if the organization was really traced, the organization wouldn't know it was him.

Unless the organization has placed an undercover agent in the police, it will be known that Lin Xinyi is secretly assisting the police.

But judging from the situation introduced by Belmode.

This bad organization seems to have always been used as undercover agents.

In other words, even if Lin Xinyi adheres to professional ethics and assists the police in finding out the truth, the possibility of being known by the organization is extremely low.

"I hope so"

Lin Xinyi prayed secretly in his heart and at the same time opened the case information.

Because of the rush of time, the information content is not very detailed, but it is definitely rich enough.

The secret policemen of the Public Security Bureau are obviously better than the ordinary policemen of the Metropolitan Police Department and local police stations in terms of working ability and attitude.

One look at the case information and you will know:

Although the on-site investigation work was not as good as the forensics class managed by Lin Xinyi, it was done relatively seriously enough.

Because the identity of the deceased was sensitive, the body was sent overnight to a hospital cooperating with the public security, and doctors from the hospital were asked to conduct a more detailed autopsy.

Now the fresh autopsy report that was rushed out overnight was placed in Lin Xinyi's hands:

"There were two wounds on the head, the wounds were regular and round, and there was a lot of bleeding under the skin."

"There are slight depressed fractures below the two wounds, and the degree of fracture is relatively minor."

"The two wounds are independent and not connected to each other. One is on the top of the head and the other is on the occiput of the back of the head."

Lin Xinyi carefully looked at the photos taken during the autopsy process.

Hospital doctors are amateur and part-time dissectors. Although their dissection skills are superb and their autopsy records are detailed, they generally only focus on recording and not analyzing.

These two wounds on the top of the head were only recorded in monotonous text and photos by the doctor, but Lin Xin knew at a glance:

"With these two wounds, the instrument that caused the injury can almost be determined."

"The wound is in a regular round shape, and the subcutaneous bleeding is in the shape of it."

"The murder weapon was metal, a ball-peen hammer or a claw hammer with a regular round shape."

"However." He frowned slightly: "If the metal hammer was used to hit the head with full force, the injury would be a bit too minor."

"Is it because the murderer has very little strength, or is he deliberately controlling his strength for some reason?"

Lin Xinyi felt something was wrong.

He muttered to himself there, and then continued reading the autopsy report:

"There was a puncture wound in the right rib, which entered the liver."

"Stab and create the path from top to bottom."

"From top to bottom, the murderer should have used an 'over-the-shoulder' stabbing posture."

Lin Xinyi had used this knowledge before when solving the 'Gomera Murder Case':

There are roughly two types of stabbing formation methods:

One is the over-the-shoulder style, which means raising the knife and stabbing it down from top to bottom.

One is the low-hand style, which means holding the knife with your hand and stabbing forward from bottom to top.

Using the "piercing" method, the puncture wounds formed are naturally "from top to bottom".

The ribs mentioned in the autopsy report refer to the left and right upper abdomen of the human body after dividing the abdominal cavity into nine points.

In other words, the murderer stabbed the deceased's upper right abdomen from the side and from top to bottom.

Moreover, this knife penetrated very deep into the muscle layer, organs, and almost penetrated the liver.

"But why is it stabbed from the right side? Wouldn't it be awkward to exert force like this?"

"Moreover, how could the murderer stab the right upper abdomen at this location? What position were he and the deceased holding at that time?"

Lin Xinyi tried hard to restore the scene in his mind.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and the frown became deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Lin? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Seeing Lin Xinyi being silent for a long time, Officer Feng Jian asked tentatively.

"Oh nothing."

Lin Xinyi put aside his doubts for the time being.

He chose to answer the first question that the police wanted him to help solve:

"The good news is that this matter should have nothing to do with the organization."

"The blunt force injury to the deceased's head can be confirmed to be some kind of metal ball-peen hammer or claw hammer - both hammers are common household tool hammers."

"And the sharp instrument stab wound on the right upper abdomen of the deceased happened to be stabbed in the liver."

The liver has falciform ligament, round ligament, hepatoduodenum, ligaments, etc., which play a fixed role, so the position of the liver in the abdominal cavity is relatively fixed.

Due to the particularity of its anatomical location and structure, it is often damaged in injuries and homicides, and its position is relatively fixed, it is easy to leave imprints of the murder weapon in the liver parenchyma, and the characteristics of the murder weapon can be inferred from the imprints.

The doctor responsible for the dissection was also serious and responsible enough.

After taking pictures and fixing the wounds on the body surface and liver surface, the autopsy doctor extracted the deceased's entire liver completely.

Then a longitudinal incision was made along the wound on the surface of the liver, and a complete imprint of the lancing device's mobility in the wound tract was found.

"The trace length is 11.5cm, the widest point is 3.9cm, and the thickness is 0.2cm."

"The wound on the body surface is fusiform, with one obtuse and one sharp angle. Slight skin contusion changes can be seen at the obtuse edge of the wound. These are typical characteristics of a single-edged stabbing instrument."

"Combined with the distance from the wound on the body surface to the sensory creation path, it is estimated that the length of the knife body is about 15cm."

"So, it's just a stabbing tool with a length of 15cm, a widest point of nearly 4cm, a back thickness of 0.2cm, and a single blade."

"The most common knife that fits this characteristic is the long kitchen knife that every household has."

Lin Xinyi deduced the two murder weapons used by the murderer based on various data on the wound:

"Household kitchen knives and household tool hammers"

"If this is done by any criminal organization, then this organization"

He thought about it for a while, and realized that Gin was wearing a top hat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, getting out of the Porsche with a sneer, and showed a strange picture of a kitchen knife and hammer on his waist.

"Then this organization is too low."

The second is later
