Coroner Coroner

"The mouth of this 'corpse' in the photo... is tightly shut!"

In the photo, the blood has not dried, and the body is still soft.

But the mouth defied the force of gravity and was tightly closed like a living person.

This is the biggest doubt in this death photo.

but…

After thinking about it with Ms. Ye, she still bravely questioned the teacher:

"Could this be the so-called...corpse spasm?"

"I heard that some people may experience a kind of cadaveric convulsions when they die: "

"It is obvious that he just died, but his body is as stiff as a corpse."

"Just like Musashibo Benkei."

Musashibo Benkei was the vassal of Minamoto Yoshitsune, a famous general in the Heian period, and a representative of the traditional Bushido spirit. According to legend, he died of exhaustion at the last moment of fighting the enemy, and his body still stood upright after death.

It is equivalent to the Japanese version of Dian Wei.

This is the phenomenon that the body freezes instantly after death, and can even keep standing, which is called cadaveric cramps.

When I attended the Mouri Kogoro Alumni Association in Tochigi Prefecture, a murderer wanted to use this principle to plan a murder conspiracy.

But at that time Lin Xinyi complained:

"Corpse convulsions are an extremely rare phenomenon, and their cause is unknown."

"It's not that death is emotionally charged, overly painful, that you're bound to have cadaveric convulsions."

"In terms of probability, this possibility can basically be ruled out."

"And cadaveric convulsions are generally generalized stiffness."

"It's basically impossible to be like the corpse in the photo. The muscles all over the body are loose and limp, only the mouth is stiff and tightly closed."

Lin Xinyi answered the questions raised by Yuan Shan and Ye.

Hattori Heiji followed up and participated in the discussion:

"Then Mr. Lin, could this be an ordinary rigor?"

"Although rigor mortis usually only appears one hour after death, there are also records in the book that there are special cases where rigor mortis appears 1 minutes after death."

"Standard rigor usually starts from small joints like the jaw, and then gradually spreads to large joints, limbs, and even the whole body."

"So the corpse in the photo may just have early rigor rigor, and the jaw stiffened before other parts of the body, eventually causing the mouth to close tightly, while other parts remained limp and drooping naturally."

"Is this the case?"

"It's possible, but the possibility is extremely small." Lin Xinyi replied and popularized science:

"The hotter the weather, the earlier the mortis will appear."

"The kind of early rigor you mentioned does exist within 10 minutes of death, but it usually occurs in a high-temperature environment where the weather is hot enough."

"And Pingji you also said before that you checked the weather before you came:"

"The weather on American Island has been relatively cool in the past three days, and the temperature is not high. It is unlikely that such a rapid form of rigor will occur."

"Furthermore…"

Lin Xinyi took out a second photo.

This photo is Ebihara Sumi's "death photo".

Her death appearance was basically the same as Kadowaki Saori's, the blood hadn't solidified, her body was still soft, but her mouth was tightly closed in the sitting position.

"Even though Kadowaki Saori has a special constitution, that kind of early rigor appeared."

"But such a low-probability event is unlikely to happen to two victims at the same time, right?"

"So when Ebihara Sumi's death photos also appeared, I was even more convinced that these death photos were fake."

"Not to mention, there is still this piece of grass to prove that Shimabukuro Junhui came here to set up organs and worship her mother before Ebihara Sumi disappeared."

"All these signs point to one point:"

Lin Xinyi pondered for a while, and finally gave an affirmative answer:

"These death photos were all forged by Junhui Shimabukuro."

"So the wounds on the broken leg in the photo are covered by the blood-stained trousers:"

"Because no matter how good her makeup skills are, she can't create the kind of human wounds that are so real that they can deceive forensic doctors."

"If I'm not mistaken:"

"She probably used the little trick of acting as a long-lived mother-in-law, tying her calf to her thigh behind her back, creating the visual illusion that her calf was sawed off."

"As for the two broken legs in the far distance where the details cannot be seen clearly, they are probably some common film and television props."

This time the clues were plentiful.

Lin Xinyi can be sure that these photos are fake.

Since the photo is fake, it's possible that the person in the photo wasn't dead after all.

Junhui Shimabukuro might not be a murderer at all.

This serial murder case of the mermaid may have been planned by her from the beginning to the end.

"Of course it's best."

Yuan Shan and Ye sighed deeply, then asked doubtfully:

"However, Mr. Lin."

"Since you have already discovered that the photo is fake, why do you keep saying that you are 'not sure' and refuse to tell us what you found?"

"This..." Lin Xinyi had a strange expression:

Because he is really not sure.

Even if he found something wrong with this photo through scientific knowledge at first glance.

But his scientific discovery violated the science principle:

Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, this pair of black and white impermanence are involved.

No one died?

How come no one died?

This is not scientific! !

Chapter 513 Horror Movie

Time goes back to the present.

In front of Naoko Heijiang's house.

"Miss Shimabukuro, I'm not here to stop you, but to assist you."

"Because I, like you, want justice to be served."

In Shimabukuro Junhui's complex and unspeakable eyes, Hayashi Shinichi said so firmly.

"justice…"

Shimabukuro Junhui murmured this unfamiliar vocabulary softly, and couldn't help falling into silence.

And she also vaguely realized something.

I saw Junhui Shimabukuro sighed lightly, and relieved to remove the disguise:

"Mr. Lin, you..."

"Sure enough, I know everything."

"That's right." Lin Xin nodded: "Miss Shimabukuro, we have discovered the truth."

"The truth is:"

"You didn't kill people at all, and you never thought about killing people."

"The 'corpses' in those death photos were actually created by you with the Disguise Technique, and the real Saori Kadowaki and Ebihara Sumi should still be alive in this world at this time."

Junhui Shimabukuro said that she is his loyal fan.

Since she is familiar with Lin Xinyi's thoughts and theories in the field of criminal investigation, she should understand:

To realize the so-called "perfect crime", the key point is not how to create an alibi for yourself, but how to erase your own traces as much as possible.

No matter how strong the alibi is, a fake one will be a fake after all, and there is always the risk of being exposed by smart people.

But the traces are gone.

No matter how good the investigators are, a clever woman can hardly survive without rice, and there is no evidence to convict the murderer.

Starting from this line of thinking, a discerning person will soon discover that the conditions for committing crimes on the American island are really "unique":

There are deep mountains on the island, and the sea outside the island. Between the vast mountains and seas, where can an unknown corpse not be buried?

There is no case without a dead body. If the dead body cannot be found, the police can only treat the victim as missing.

With the working attitude of the Japanese police in this scientific world...

Missing is missing, maybe just ran away from home.

There are so many people who run away from home every year, how can we find the time to find them one by one?

It is estimated that no one will investigate at all.

After a long time, this matter will be forgotten.

According to Hayashi Shinichi's idea, if he were Junhui Shimabukuro, the method of murder and revenge could be planned simpler and more reliable.

Just find a reason to go out to sea with Saori Kadowaki and others, and sink the boat in the sea, lose the body, and when you come back, you will say that you have encountered a marine accident, and you are the only one who survived.

This kind of killing method is not easy for ten Kudo Shinichis.
