Coroner Coroner

"Let's start with a few macro items:"

Lin Xinyi took out the tape measure from the toolbox and measured it carefully:

"Length of corpse: 161cm."

"Pale complexion, no yellowing, normal development, good nutrition, no deformity of the limbs."

"Corpse spots, none. Stiffness, none. Signs of corruption, none. Muscle slackening felt by acupressure."

"Corpse temperature... er... I'll skip this for now."

The best places to measure the body temperature are the rectum and liver. Now that there are so many people around, it is inconvenient to check.

"After remembering these items, we will start to examine the various parts of the corpse."

"Here we have to start at the head and check from the top down."

"First the head and face:"

"Hair, black, long broken hair, top hair length...8cm."

"Auricle, no abnormality. External auditory canal, no abnormality."

"External nose, with abrasions. Nasal cavity, no abnormal secretions."

In fact, Lin Xinyi was already a little off topic.

He said that he would use evidence to send Ishikawa in, but now he took advantage of the opportunity of the autopsy to start on-site teaching for Komatsu's inspection.

But the people present did not question his procrastination, but looked very devoted.

Because Lin Xinyi has a different style from all the famous detectives before.

He mainly focuses on the corpse when handling the case, and the method of investigating the case is as it is now, with clear steps, orderly, and extremely standardized and standardized like the factory assembly line.

Other detectives are like the so-called "ingenuity" masters, who rely on their hard-to-replicate handcraft skills.

Lin Xinyi is an industrialized production line with strict standards and well-organized.

"Attention... the point is coming."

Just when everyone was watching seriously and Komatsu Patrol listened carefully, Lin Xinyi suddenly increased his tone.

While measuring the size of the wound with a ruler taken out of the toolbox, he said calmly:

"A 2.0 cm × 0.3 cm buckling wound was seen in the middle of the forehead."

"A 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm depressed skull fracture was seen from the left forehead to the lateral side of the left eyebrow arch, with two contusion wounds of 1.0 cm × 0.6 cm and 2.0 cm × 1.0 cm, respectively."

"There is no bleeding, swelling, or tissue shrinkage in the above wounds, and the wounds are yellowish-brown."

As he said that, he deliberately stopped describing and turned his attention to Komatsu's inspection.

Sure enough, Komatsu looked back at him blankly.

The food was all over his mouth, but this guy still didn't hear anything...

"Ugh…"

Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly:

"The deceased had a skull fracture, and the facial injuries were concentrated, which can be seen as a single formation."

"Combined with the extensive abrasions on the exposed parts of the extremities...it can basically be concluded that these injuries were caused by falling from heights."

"In other words, the deceased did fall from the upstairs."

I finally understood the meaning, and Ishikawa, who was beside him, immediately roared in a low voice:

"Doesn't that mean Uchida committed suicide by jumping off a building?"

"Al-Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is." Lin Xinyi temporarily gave up the teaching of Komatsu's inspection. This guy is obviously a pure rookie who can't be brought up for a while.

He looked at Ishikawa coldly and began to focus his energy on revealing the truth:

"It's true that the deceased fell from the upstairs."

"But I didn't say that he jumped from the upstairs alive."

"Because, I just mentioned..."

"Although the wounds on the corpse surface are consistent with the characteristics of high fall injuries, most of the wounds on the head and face and abrasions on the body surface are yellow or yellow-brown, and there is no life response such as bleeding, swelling and tissue shrinkage."

The life response is a defensive response that occurs locally and throughout the body when a person is violently injured in a survival state.

Once a person dies, various bodily functions stop functioning, and if they are injured by external forces at this time, the state of scars they will show will be completely different from the injuries they were injured in life.

"Ishikawa, do you think your tricks are very clever?"

"Just find a forensic doctor and check whether the wound has any life reaction, and then you can judge whether the deceased was injured during his lifetime or after death."

"And the deceased this time, he undoubtedly did not die from a fall from a height."

"The real cause of his death...has to be seen here."

Lin Xinyi produced iron-like evidence to prove that the deceased did not die by jumping off the building at all.

Then, he raised the head of the deceased slightly with his hand, so that everyone could see his neck:

"Subcutaneous hemorrhage was faintly visible in the neck, distributed on both sides of the larynx, apparently from a strangulation of the neck caused by violence."

"This shows that the deceased had been strangled by someone's neck before he died."

"This, what's the matter..."

Regarding this point, Ishikawa has long thought of an excuse to deal with it:

"I beat Uchida with Aoki not long ago."

"Although I strangled him by the neck, I didn't strangle him to death... It was just a normal fight."

He directly admitted his bullying.

But at the same time, Ishikawa divided his and Uchida's deaths cleanly.

After all, the strangle marks can only mean that he strangled Uchida's neck, but there is no way to prove that Uchida was strangled by him.

But Lin Xinyi just said to him coldly:

"Stop imagining..."

"Do you really think that I can only see the strangles as simple as that?"

"If the real cause of death of the deceased cannot be confirmed, my book will be read in vain."

After speaking, he leaned down again and carefully opened the eyelids of the deceased with his hands:

"As you can see, the deceased's eyelids and bulbar conjunctiva are congested with dense bleeding points."

"What is this? Why is this bleeding?"

"The occurrence of this petechial hemorrhage is associated with increased vascular permeability, ruptured capillaries, and increased blood pressure from asphyxia and hypoxia, often at the time of asphyxia or within 15 to 30 seconds."

"The deceased had blood congestion on his face and his complexion was cyanotic and blue-purple."

"This is because the deceased's neck was oppressed before death, which blocked the venous return of the head and face, serious blood stasis, and increased reduced hemoglobin in the blood, resulting in facial cyanosis and swelling."

Lin Xin's eyes were like swords, and he pointed at Ishikawa's already weak psychological defense line:

"What I just said are the basic symptoms of suffocation."

"There are such symptoms, and it has been confirmed that the high fall injury caused by the death..."

"It is enough to prove that the deceased died of mechanical suffocation caused by external force, rather than committing suicide by jumping off a building."

"And the murderer who killed him..."

"It's not hard to find at all."

Lin Xinyi raised the dead man's hand and let everyone see his fingertips:

"The deceased had obvious resistance and restraint wounds on his wrist, indicating that he resisted when he was beaten by the killer."

"Although he is dead, his resistance is not entirely ineffective."

"At least, he left evidence in his fingernails."

"His fingernails have dander from the murderer's skin. By identifying the DNA of the dander, the identity of the murderer can be locked."

"And the murderer... I'm afraid there are still scratches caused by the deceased's resistance."

"I…"

Ishikawa's face changed, and he subconsciously covered his blood-stained arm.

"Yes, what if there are scratches?"

"I said, I beat Uchida before, isn't it normal for him to have my dander in his nails?"

"idiot!"

Lin Xinyi was laughed at by this die-hard murderer:

"Didn't I prove the real cause of Uchida's death?"

"Since he died of suffocation, not suicide by jumping off the building..."

"Then these dander are enough to serve as key evidence to identify the murderer!"

"Ishikawa..."

There was a different sense of oppression in his voice:

"Iron proof, what else do you have to say?"

Chapter 27 The Cunning Murderer

Under Lin Xinyi's pressing step by step, Ishikawa's psychological defense line completely collapsed.

This unusual "detective" is not reasoning, but laying out evidence step by step.

In the face of these steel-like evidence, sophistry is completely powerless.
