Coroner Coroner

A mouth is an old criminal.

There may be more than one life on the hands.

Police officer Mumu was sweating on his forehead, and felt that he had met the strongest enemy he had been in the police force for 20 years.

Chapter 4 The Reasoning of a Famous Detective

Officer Mu Mu was vigilantly guarding against Lin Xinyi's actions.

And at this moment, Kudo Shinichi, who is already the focus of the audience, slowly said what he was thinking under the attention of everyone:

"The reasoning is actually quite simple."

"First of all, I just reported to the Mumu Police Department:"

"When we found the corpse floating on the river 10 minutes ago, the first thing we saw was a wave of scarlet blood."

"Right, Xiaolan?"

Kudo Shinichi looked back at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan, on the other hand, recalled the shocking scene before, her face paled slightly:

"That's right, it was because of the conspicuous red patch on the river that we noticed the corpse."

"Otherwise, it was still a little dark at the time. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it there."

With Xiaolan's assistant testimony, the scene of witnessing when the body was found was clearly restored in front of everyone.

And Officer Mumu stared at Lin Xinyi secretly, while habitually praising Kudo Shinichi's reasoning:

"Brother Kudo, I know what you mean..."

"You mean to say that those corpses were just thrown into the river by the murderer not long ago, right?"

"That's right." Kudo Shin nodded and followed the words of the police officer Mumu: "Just like the cook usually uses the method of immersion to remove the excess blood in the pork, if the corpse is soaked in water for a certain period of time, the attached The blood will be diluted clean by the flushing of the water."

"In that case, Xiaolan and I would not be able to see the picture of the river being dyed red by blood."

"So, those corpses must not have been soaked in water for a long time."

"And that means..."

Kudo Shinichi paused slightly and cast a meaningful look at Lin Shinichi:

"The murderer just finished throwing the body not long ago."

"He may not have gone far now - and, the murderer is likely to remain at the scene, right here!"

"Oh, no?"

Some of the onlookers questioned incomprehensibly:

"If you don't run away after throwing the body, won't it be troublesome to wait for the police to come?"

"The murderer's courage is too much."

"No, quite the opposite."

"Instead, this is a manifestation of the murderer's inner anxiety and timidity."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head and described his mental description of the murderer:

"The murderer's body was thrown at dawn—"

"Although it is dark and easy to move at this time, it cannot avoid the risk of hitting the very few citizens who get up early in the morning to exercise."

"Obviously, this is not a perfect enough time to throw the body."

"Choosing to throw the body at this unsatisfactory time shows that the murderer probably has no other choice."

"He probably killed someone impulsively in the middle of the night. After disposing of the body in a panic, he didn't dare to hide the body at home for some reason, so he rushed here before dawn to throw the body."

"The purpose of the murderer's dismemberment is mostly to cover up the physical characteristics of the victim, so that the police cannot lock the identity of the victim."

"Then, let's think about it, if you are the murderers..."

"After impulsively killing people and throwing corpses, do you worry about the omissions in your methods, or do you worry that the police still have a way to find out the identity of the victim?"

"Well, that's true."

Once substituted, everyone couldn't help but nodded deeply:

"Doing bad things will inevitably lead to a guilty conscience, so the murderer has to stay at the scene and mix in the crowd to observe the police's investigation!"

"If it turns out that the police investigation has failed, he can get on with his life at ease."

"If the police investigation is found to be successful, he can also prepare for escape in advance."

"But, Kudo-san..."

The police officer Mumu asked again with a little doubt:

"Just like that, there's no way to pin the suspicion on Mr. Lin, right?"

"With so many people present, anyone could be the murderer!"

"of course."

"Everyone who is present now may be the murderer."

"But Mr. Lin Xinyi's suspicion is undoubtedly the biggest!"

Kudo Shinichi did not mess up the rhythm of reasoning because of such doubts:

"And the reason I say that is..."

"Mr. Lin's legs are soaked in water!"

As soon as the words fell, following Kudo Shinichi's guidance, everyone's eyes were firmly locked on Lin Shinichi's calf.

Although it is in Tokyo, the weather is not only not hot, but it is also a little cold because it is early in the morning.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi's pair of trousers and shoes that were soaked in water were not completely dry until now, and there were still large wet marks visible to the naked eye.

"Wet marks, his legs were soaked in water!"

Some people who eat melons with more flexible minds have already reacted:

"This guy must be the murderer!"

"It's not raining today, so it's impossible for ordinary citizens to get their legs wet when they come to exercise in the morning."

"Only the murderer who dumped the corpse in the river could step into the water in order to throw the corpse farther away!"

Oh hoo!With a burst of exclamation, everyone figured out the joints.

Those eyes locked on Lin Xinyi suddenly became more scorching and hostile.

Lin Xinyi remained silent.

And Kudo Shinichi pressed while the iron was hot:

"Then, Lin Xinyijun."

"Can you explain why you got your trouser legs wet just now?"

Lin Xinyi did not answer.

He just said calmly:

"There is no way a court can convict by reasoning alone."

"To identify me as the murderer, you have to come up with definite evidence."

"It's natural."

Kudo Shinichi shrugged and smiled confidently:

"The most difficult part of the corpse case is locating the suspect."

"Once there is a target candidate, it is not difficult to find evidence."

"After all, the battle of killing and breaking corpses is huge, and it's not that easy to erase the traces."

"As long as you go to the suspect's home and search carefully, you can basically find blood that hasn't been wiped clean."

"Makes sense!"

The onlookers suddenly realized for a while:

"No wonder that guy just died and refused to answer the police officer's question."

"He must be afraid that the police will go to his house to search now and find the dismemberment scene that has not been cleaned up!"

This reasoning show seems to have come to an end.

Everyone is more or less looking at the famous high school detective with admiration:

As expected of the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

The murderer wisely stayed at the scene to observe the police's reaction, but he never expected that anyone would notice the water stains on his legs, so he accidentally exposed himself to the detective's eyes.

This really has to be said that there is evil and evil, and there is justice in the sky.

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, you can answer our questions now."

Officer Mumu stood up at the right time.

He changed his previous emotional involvement strategy, and instead threatened in a serious tone:

"You do have the right to be silent."

"But please note that your current performance will be recorded by us."

"Silent silence will only put you in a disadvantageous situation. I hope you don't make such an unwise choice."

Lin Xinyi: "..."

To be honest, he now feels like a criminal himself.

But there is no way.

He knew very well that without the memory of the deity, he couldn't answer the police's many questions.
