Chapter 493 Bullying people who don’t understand science
Lin Xinyi left the eight coachmen behind and placed them under the strict supervision of the patrolmen.
Then, he took the time to inspect the carriage.
There was nothing unusual about the first few cars.
Until one of them:
After spraying the prepared luminol reagent into the interior of the carriage with a spray bottle, a large blue light suddenly lit up in the dark carriage compartment.
The blue light produced by luminol reaction is actually very weak and does not last long.
Trace examiners often need to be alert when using it, pay attention to detecting occult blood in time and take photos to collect evidence - otherwise the light may be too weak and you may miss it without paying attention.
But at this moment.
The blue light emitted from the carriage actually illuminated the dark room.
You don't need to pay close attention at all. If you look around casually, you can see the blue blood radiating from up and down in the dark carriage.
This is enough to prove that there is a large amount of potential blood stains in this carriage.
The wide distribution and large area of the blood stains are shocking.
It was as if this was not a carriage carriage, but a mobile slaughterhouse.
"found it."
Lin Xinyi let out a sigh of relief.
The gaze of Officer Lestrade beside him also became sharp in an instant.
They turned to look at the eight suspects in unison:
"Whose carriage is this?"
There was silence in the air.
The atmosphere became tense.
The patrol officers responsible for guarding these coachmen quietly tensed up.
They looked at the eight coachmen with vigilance, creating an oppressive aura invisibly.
Finally, in this seemingly frozen air.
A young coachman with an ordinary appearance stood up:
"That carriage is, is mine."
"catch him."
Lin Xinyi did not confront the suspect at all and directly issued an arrest order.
The patrolmen heard the sound and moved. Some of them reached out to press their guns, and some took out handcuffs. They were about to swarm him in the next second.
"etc!"
The young coachman was crying out for injustice:
"There is blood in my carriage."
"But...but...this is not the blood stain left by a murder-"
"A few weeks ago I drove an injured client to the hospital."
"All this blood was shed while he was riding in my carriage!"
"This" the patrol policemen froze.
Even Officer Lestrade stopped hesitantly and looked at Lin Xinyi with some concern:
"Master Lin, what he said seems to be right!"
"Even if we find blood stains in the carriage, it doesn't prove that these blood stains belong to the victim."
"Maybe the truth is exactly what he said."
"Is this just the blood of an injured passenger?"
"Haha." Lin Xinyi laughed lightly:
Indeed, Lestrade was right.
In 1888, humans had not even discovered the structure of DNA, let alone any DNA identification technology.
Without DNA identification technology, it would be impossible to determine whether the bloodstains came from the victims of Jack the Ripper.
Lin Xinyi's accusation against the young coachman was simply untenable.
No one is sure whether he is Jack the Ripper or an innocent coachman who just met his fate.
The coachman's self-justification is almost unexplainable in this era.
And Lin Xinyi himself was actually not sure.
Even his previous reasoning of "judging from the silk and wool that the deceased had ridden in a carriage before his death" was based on guessing the thoughts of the person who asked the question.
Now there was no way to be sure that he was right, and no way to tell whether the coachman was lying.
If it were in reality, the coachman would probably be acquitted due to lack of evidence.
but
This is a game.
Since they are all playing games, let’s arrest this person first.
If you catch it correctly, the game will be cleared directly.
If he catches the wrong person and the game doesn't respond, then Lin Xinyi will know that he has caught the wrong person.
In short, just put a Jack the Ripper hat on this suspect and let the police take him down.
This is the best verification method.
As for if the wrong person is arrested this time, will this young coachman be innocently accused and imprisoned in vain?
who cares--
Who cares about the plight of NPCs?
The only reason to blame is that he didn't go home late at night and was still working outside to make money.
then
Facing the young coachman who defended himself sadly.
Lin Xinyi did not show any sympathy or pity, but said to Officer Lestrade in a cold tone:
"Officer Lestrade, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Scotland Yard is the most elite police force in the world today."
"This guy is not even afraid of the Scotland Yard police. This is no ordinary criminal."
"You have to hit hard!"
Young coachman: "."
Lestrade: "."
Lin Xinyi's attitude was very determined.
But the reasons he gave for his arrest were still weak.
Those Scotland Yard policemen didn't listen to this master very much.
Especially when the young coachman kept complaining, they all hesitated subconsciously, not knowing what to do.
"Master Lin"
Lestrade said to Lin Xinyi with some embarrassment:
"It's okay to arrest people temporarily."
"But if we can't find conclusive evidence, we can only keep him for a while to cooperate with the investigation——"
"In the end we have to let him go!"
"This" Lin Xinyi finally realized something:
Yes. If you let the police arrest someone without conclusive evidence, even if they arrest him, the police will not be able to confirm that he is Jack the Ripper, and they will not be able to convict the suspect.
Does this count as completing the mission of "defeating Jack the Ripper"?
It probably doesn't count
Lin Xinyi is still not sure that this guy is Jack the Ripper.
He still has to rely on whether the game is cleared after arresting the other party to determine whether he is looking for the right person.
And if an arrest without conclusive evidence is not considered a "formal arrest", even if the suspect is really Jack the Ripper, the story will still not be triggered.
Then Lin Xinyi couldn't use this to judge whether he had arrested the right person.
"It's really troublesome."
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but frowned.
He understood the problem he was facing:
"The evidence is still short of a 'decisive evidence'."
"Only with solid charges can this coachman be arrested in the name of Jack the Ripper."
"Only in order to meet the customs clearance conditions."
"Only with the help of the game's clearance mechanism can it help me determine whether he is Jack the Ripper."
As he thought about it, he realized something.
Lin Xinyi smiled and looked at the young coachman from head to toe.
His eyes quickly fixed on the other party's iron-embedded boots:
"Is there any evidence? Haha."
"Okay, since you want evidence, then I will give you evidence."
"Oh?" Lestrade's eyes lit up: "Master, have you found conclusive evidence that he is Jack the Ripper?"
"That's right."
Lin Xinyi nodded calmly:
"I just communicated with the undead entrenched in this carriage again."
"Huh?" Officer Lestrade's face darkened:
Weren't you still using science to solve crimes just now?
Why did this style of painting suddenly change again?
He instantly moved three or four meters away from the "ghost carriage", and then looked back with a strange expression:
"Master Lin"
"Although we all believe in your ability"
"But what a dead person says cannot be used as evidence in court!"
"I know."
Master Lin is still calm and calm:
"I never thought of using the testimonies of the dead as evidence."
"I just asked about the methods of finding evidence from the mouths of those victims whose souls are still alive."
"There are some things that living people can't notice, but the innocent souls who exist in the dark can notice them!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Blood--"
Lin Xinyi quietly increased his tone:
"This guy still has the victim's blood on him!"
"What, there's blood on him?" Officer Lestrade was suddenly startled, but soon felt that something was wrong:
"But didn't we just check them and make sure there's no blood on him?"
Master Lin replied calmly:
"We have just checked the hands, face and clothes, which are easily stained with blood."
"But one thing was overlooked -"
"Sole!"
"Ms. Elizabeth's blood was spilled all over the floor."
"When the murderer fled the scene, there was blood on the soles of his shoes."
"." There was silence in the air.
Everyone looked strangely at the young coachman and the pair of leather boots he was wearing, embedded with rusty iron pieces.
"I'm going to do another luminol test on the soles of your shoes."
Without waiting for the young coachman to speak in defense, Lin Xinyi said preemptively:
"Don't even think about making excuses anymore!"
“The sole is the place that is in contact with the ground all the time.”
"If you wear a pair of shoes and walk outside, the blood stains on them will be wiped away by the dirt and dust in a short time."
"And the story about the 'injured guest' you made up was made a few weeks ago."
"So, if occult blood could be detected from the soles of your shoes now"
"It must have been contaminated just now——"
"It was the blood you stepped on next to the deceased at the crime scene an hour ago!"
Lin Xinyi gave a decent analysis.
It sounds like it actually makes some sense.
Officer Lestrade and other Scotland Yard police officers were convinced by Master Lin's flawless reasoning.
And Lin Xinyi took advantage of the situation and got excited:
"What, Jack?"
"You're not going to make excuses again, saying that you just wore these shoes today and stepped on blood somewhere, right?"
The old occult blood in the carriage was suspicious enough.
If fresh occult blood was found on the soles of his shoes, no matter how hard he tried to defend himself, the Scotland Yard officers present would no longer believe his lies.
There was blood on the car and on the soles of the shoes, one of which was still fresh.
And shortly after the incident, he was stopped by the police near the crime scene.
These circumstances were stated one by one in the London court. The judge and jury members would definitely believe that the coachman was the murderer.
This was the evidence Lin Xinyi produced that was enough to convict him.
And the young coachman pondered and recalled for a while, as if he was recalling whether the soles of his shoes had ever been stained with blood.
After thinking about it, he raised his head confidently and said to Lin Xinyi tit for tat:
"Okay, just test it!"
"Anyway, I didn't kill anyone, and there was no blood on the soles of my shoes today."
"If you can't detect any occult blood from the soles of my shoes, you can't say I'm the murderer, right?"
"good--"
Lin Xinyi grinned:
"Let us see if there is any victim's blood on the soles of your shoes!"
With that said, he was about to pick up the spray bottle of luminol reagent and walk over to test the soles of the coachman's shoes.
"Hmm." Conan, Haihara Ai and Mao Lilan all showed strange expressions.
Conan remained silent thoughtfully.
Haiyuan Ai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, watching the show with amusement.
Only the kind-hearted Miss Maori came over stupidly:
"Mr. Lin"
Mao Lilan stopped Lin Xinyi.
Then he whispered in his ear:
"The coachman's leather boots have pieces of rusty iron embedded in the soles."
"If you did a luminol test on him"
Luminol can detect occult blood not because it reacts with hemoglobin, but because it reacts with the iron ions in hemoglobin.
In fact, it is not blood that makes Luminol glow, but iron ions.
Now the coachman was wearing iron-inlaid leather boots with rusty iron pieces embedded in the soles.
Lin Xinyi also used luminol to test others.
Does this still require testing? The reaction between rust and luminol will 100% make it glow!
The London police in 1888 did not understand the principles of the luminol reaction and could not see the problem at all.
In the eyes of this policeman, as long as the luminol reagent glows, there must be occult blood.
This way.
Even if there is no blood on the soles of the coachman's shoes, "blood" will still be detected.
this.
"Isn't this an injustice?"
Mao Lilan felt that this was a bit wrong.
But Lin Xinyi admitted without any guilt that he practiced "Forensic Medicine" backwards:
"Well, that's right—"
"I'm setting him up!"
The second is later
