Coroner Ke Xue

Meeting Lin Xinyi by chance, Mao Lilan's eyes were obviously surprised.

The boy who was inseparable from her, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, was much more excited: Mr. Lin Shinichi, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!

Yes, it's quite a coincidence. Lin Xinyi smiled naturally.

For him who had just arrived, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were the real acquaintances.

Being able to meet him twice a day, morning and evening, is considered a blessing.

After that brief surprise, Mao Lilan seemed to suddenly think of something.

Her big eyes soon showed a kind of worry that could not be hidden, and her tone became extremely tactful:

Mr. Lin Xinyi, are you okay?

Well Lin Xinyi was a little helpless.

Hearing Mao Lilan's careful tone like a nurse comforting a terminally ill patient, he knew that Kudo must have told this kind-hearted girl about his suicide attempt.

Look at her eyes full of worry now

It was as if he was worried that he would run onto the road and crash into a car and kill himself in the next second.

Don't worry, it's all over.

Lin Xinyi explained vaguely.

Oh Mao Lilan felt relieved a little.

Then, she noticed the always silent Miyano Shiho next to Lin Shinyi:

This is Mr. Lin Xinyi's girlfriend?

Her eyes were full of curiosity. With such a beautiful girlfriend, why could she not think about committing suicide?

Miyano Shiho's eyes also shone with surprise. She looked at Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, and then at Lin Shinichi:

This guy Lin Xinyi

How could he still make friends with such an ordinary student?

As an organization mired in darkness, is Eagle Dog still carefully managing the identity of a normal person in the outside world?

It's really surprising that I didn't know much about this lifeless-looking guy before.

Lin Xinyi didn't notice Miyano's strange look, he just explained seriously:

Girlfriend? No no no

Her name is Miyano Shiho.

I am her bodyguard.

Bodyguard? Now it was Kudo Shinichi's turn to be surprised: Is Mr. Lin's job a bodyguard? No way.

According to my reasoning, you should be a doctor with a professional background.

This Lin Xinyi didn't know how to answer.

However, Miyano Shiho glanced at Kudo with some concern:

She knew that Kudo's reasoning was actually quite accurate.

When Lin Xinyi monitored her as a classmate at Columbia University, he was studying clinical medicine.

Although the two rarely communicated during college, Miyano Shiho also vaguely knew that Lin Xinyi's professional performance was actually good.

“I didn’t expect that I guessed it wrong.”

It shouldn't be. How come the bodyguard knows so much medical knowledge?

Did you study medicine and later switch to security?

But comparing income, benefits and prospects, doctors are better than bodyguards no matter what.

Kudo Shinichi fell into deep thought.

Haha, Shinichi finally guessed wrong once.

Mao Lilan joked and smiled.

Uh Kudo Shinichi scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally had to accept the fact that his judgment was wrong.

Then, without stopping, he subconsciously turned his attention to Miyano Shiho next to Lin Shinichi.

That focused detective mode is activated again.

It seemed that he, who had made an accidental mistake once, was trying to regain his place with this unknown lady.

And that's exactly what happened.

He observed Miyano Shiho up and down, but in just a few seconds, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Kudo Shinichi's mouth:

Mr. Lin's career is surprising.

But I should not be wrong about the identity of Miss Miyano anymore.

Oh. Miyano Shiho responded lukewarmly.

When she heard the famous detective's deliberate lies, she didn't show the kind of curiosity that ordinary people should have.

Forehead

Kudo Shinichi felt a little cold, so he said directly:

I noticed that there were faint ring-shaped strangulation marks on both of Miss Miyano's wrists.

If you get closer, you can smell alcohol on her body.

The strangulation marks on her wrists indicated that she may have been wearing sterile latex gloves used in laboratories until recently, and the smell of alcohol indicated that she had been exposed to 70% medical alcohol used to disinfect test tables.

So I guess Miss Miyano should be working in some drug laboratory.

oh?

How can you be sure it's a drug lab?

Gloves and alcohol can be used by not only researchers, but also doctors and forensic scientists.

It's possible even for waiters, who often wear gloves and wipe down tables with alcohol to disinfect them.

Lin Xinyi picked up the conversation at the right time and raised questions.

He was still very interested in the great detective's reasoning.

That's because I also noticed Miyano-san's pants.

Kudo Shinichi continued speaking methodically:

Ms. Miyano should change out of the white coat she wears as a researcher when she gets off work, but she probably won't change out of her pants.

And on the dark pants that Ms. Miyano is wearing, there are obviously a few short white animal hairs attached to them.

Ms. Miyano probably accidentally stuck it on when she came into contact with the white mouse.

I guess Ms. Miyano must have just done experiments on white mice not long ago, right?

Halfway through, Kudo Shinichi deliberately stopped to observe Miyano Shiho's expression.

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure that the white animal hair came from the mice.

Faced with this situation where he cannot be sure of anything, he usually makes a tactical pause when explaining his reasoning, and confirms his guess by observing the changes in the opponent's micro-expression.

And now this little trick works again:

When he mentioned the guinea pig, although his expression changed slightly, Miyano Shiho still frowned slightly.

Miyano Shiho knew that Kudo Shinichi had almost guessed it right this time.

She had indeed come into contact with a white mouse not long ago, but she was not doing experiments, but stroking the hair of the white mouse during her free time at work.

There is no entertainment in living in the laboratory, and those mice are considered her pets.

She even mentally named some of the cute little white mice that were good-looking.

When animal testing is needed, keep these relatively cute ones as pets and let the ugly rats with no names die first.

Of course, Miyano Shiho did all this without telling other researchers.

Lin Xinyi didn't even know about this.

Ms. Miyano would not let this guy she didn't like very much see her childish look secretly teasing small animals.

This is her little secret.

And now, a high school kid who loves to play detective games is rudely speculating on her secrets—and what's worse, he's speculating on her identity that no one should know.

Therefore, Miyano Shiho frowned slightly and seemed a little conflicted.

But Kudo Shinichi saw the reaction he wanted from this change of expression.

He had some confidence in his mind and knew that his reasoning was in the right direction, so he continued to elaborate:

White mice are mostly used for drug testing or medical teaching.

And there is no university nearby. The scars from Miss Miyano's gloves that didn't disappear in time indicate that she just got off work not long ago.

So, I speculate that she is most likely a researcher at a certain pharmaceutical company.

By the way, I remember there seems to be a '800 Biomedicine' not far from here, right?

Ms. Miyano, do you work in that company?

After saying this, he habitually showed a confident smile.

As usual, most people would instinctively exclaim and admire when he explains his profession so accurately.

And this is also the time Kudo Shinichi enjoys the most.

But this time, he didn't notice at all

After he casually guessed the name of Eight Hundred Biomedicine, Miss Miyano's expression became a little grim.

And when Kudo Shinichi finished explaining his reasoning and smiled confidently,

The atmosphere at the scene has become a bit cold.

Facing his smile, Miyano Shiho showed sarcasm at the corner of his mouth uncooperatively:

You like playing detective games?

Uh Kudo Shinichi's smile froze on his face.

He didn't expect the praise he imagined, but instead heard a yin and yang strange smell:

Then you must know the famous quote written by Agatha Christie:

“Curiosity killed the cat.”

Miyano Shiho read out a sentence in English coldly, with a coldness in his voice that would make people thousands of miles away:

The Great Detective.

Prying into other people's affairs will get you killed.
