Coroner Ke Xue

Sato Miwako looked at Lin Xinyi with eyes full of affection.

Lin Xinyi looked at Sato Miwako with only dissatisfaction.

The charming air is gone.

The two men were relieved again.

But they don't feel happy.

Especially when I saw Miss Miwako, she was stunned on the spot, with a faintly aggrieved expression on her face.

Our Metropolitan Police Department beauty was scolded? ! !

This is very good.

"Why are you so angry?"

As a best friend, Asai Narumi asked this question for everyone.

Miwako Sato came back to her senses slowly, looked at the photographed information with some confusion, and asked innocently:

"Is there any problem?"

"Although the deceased's sister raised objections at the time."

"But after our investigation at the time, we found no evidence that could overturn the conclusion of 'suicide'."

"If there is no evidence and only rely on the testimony of the deceased's family, we can only conclude the case with suicide."

Sato Miwako couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

She felt that her original investigation was not fraudulent at all, and she had a clear conscience to end the case by committing suicide.

But Lin Xinyi's anger still didn't calm down.

Because he had just experienced it personally a few days ago, a human tragedy caused by the Metropolitan Police Department's perfunctory incompetence.

If only the police had not so perfunctorily closed the case as "suicide".

The murderer who killed Mochizuki Minako would not go unpunished.

Teacher Mihara would not have no way to seek recourse, so that he would go to the extreme of murder and revenge.

Now Lin Xinyi picked up the information and looked at it, and saw that the Metropolitan Police Department was making the old habit of randomly using "suicide" to close cases.

How could this make him not angry?

And the person in charge of investigating the case was still sitting right in front of him.

How could he hold back from scolding?

"Ms. Sato, you said no evidence was found?"

"Is it still necessary to find this evidence??"

Lin Xinyi said this and pushed the pile of information in front of Asai Narumi:

"Asai, come and see:"

"Just look at this photo—"

"Tell me, is this suicide or homicide?"

"Um" Asai Narumi glanced at her best friend in embarrassment, then picked up the information and started reading it.

Not long after watching, he quickly showed an extremely troubled expression:

"From the photos at the scene, mainly this photo that records the overall condition of the deceased's body."

"The deceased does not seem to have committed suicide."

Miwako Sato does have a good relationship with him.

But as a victim of a confused police officer, Asai was almost forced to commit a crime because of the incompetence of the police. It is also difficult for him to have a good impression of the police officer who handled the confused case.

This made Asai Narumi's eyes towards her best friend become extremely subtle:

"Miss Miwako"

"How could you close such an obviously suspicious case so easily?"

Asai Narumi asked the same question as Lin Shinichi.

And when they asked this, they certainly didn't doubt Sato Miwako's IQ.

What is suspicious is Miwako Sato and other police officers who were in charge of the case, their attitude in handling the case, and even their professional ethics.

To put it bluntly.

This question actually asks -

When you saw that the suspect was the minister's son, were you so scared that you didn't dare to investigate further and deliberately used "suicide" to cover it up?

"Absolutely not!!"

Miwako Sato felt insulted.

How could she lie about the investigation just to please her boss? !

"We did not find any evidence at the time to prove that the deceased did not commit suicide."

"As for the 'evidence' you mentioned, Mr. Lin."

Miwako Sato looked at the photo.

There is only the body of the deceased Ninoho in the photo.

Miss Miwako could see nothing but the miserable state of his death.

"Is there any clue in this photo?"

She asked with a confused look on her face,

Lin Xinyi and Asai Narumi: "."

Looking at Miss Miwako's big innocent eyes, they couldn't say anything else.

After hesitating for a moment, Asai Narumi said helplessly:

"On the surface, the deceased committed suicide by cutting his neck."

"But there was no blood on either of his hands."

Use a hand-held knife to wipe the neck with the knife close to the neck, and cut off the carotid artery with one knife.

The blood can shoot out several meters in an instant.

Generally speaking, in the face of such a rapid and turbulent blood flow, there is a high probability that the arm of the suicidal person who cuts the neck with a knife will be stained with blood.

"Moreover, there was no trial incision on the neck."

Trial incision refers to the slight incision made by a suicidal person for various purposes such as psychological conflict, testing the sharpness of a sharp instrument, and experiencing pain before forming a fatal incision.

And big data statistics show:

Trial incision wounds are most common in the neck, followed by the wrist, groin and abdomen.

The deceased committed suicide by cutting his neck, but there was no attempt to cut the neck, but a simple, smooth blow.

This in itself is suspicious.

You should know that committing suicide is not the same as stabbing someone.

It doesn't hurt when you stab someone else with a knife, but it hurts a lot when you stab yourself.

It is difficult for most people to stab their own necks in one go, and the stabbing is done so directly and smoothly.

There was no pause or trembling in the middle of such a long and deep incision, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.

"You can't kill a pig so neatly."

Lin Xinyi silently added a comment.

Miwako Sato was so crowded that her face became hot.

She bit her lip tightly and argued unconvincingly:

"There is no blood on my hands. It may be accidental."

"As for the 'test cutting' you mentioned."

"We have also taken this into consideration:"

"At that time, because the deceased's sister expressed doubts about the conclusion of suicide, we also sent the deceased to a cooperative hospital and asked a doctor to do an autopsy."

"The results showed that the alcohol concentration in the deceased's blood was very high——"

"He was drinking before committing suicide."

"It's not impossible for a person to react slowly to pain, act impulsively and irritably while in a drunken state, and suddenly slash his own neck with a knife, right?"

Miwako Sato is very confident.

Because in that case, a hospital doctor was asked to perform an autopsy.

For the Metropolitan Police Department, this is already the highest level of investigative treatment.

But Lin Xinyi was not persuaded by this at all. Instead, he retorted even more helplessly:

"You did an autopsy but you don't have the ability to analyze the autopsy report. What's the use of it?"

"It is true that, as you said, there is no blood on the hands and no cuts. Although such a situation is rare in suicide cases, it may not be impossible."

"But we have to look at it in conjunction with other circumstances:"

With that said, Lin Xinyi lowered his head and rummaged through the information.

He dug out the autopsy report of the deceased.

The report indeed contained what he was looking for:

"From the right side of the deceased's neck to the left side of the neck, there was a 14cm × 1cm incision from right to left, higher on the right and lower on the left, slightly inclined, and almost horizontal."

"The entire incision wound is located below the thyroid cartilage. The wound edge is neat and the two wound angles are sharp. The common carotid artery and internal jugular vein are transected within the wound. There is no trial incision around the wound."

Lin Xinyi read this paragraph of report.

Miss Miwako Sato was still confused: "W-what's going on?"

"."

Lin Xinyi was silent for a while.

As he expected, the hospital doctors only knew how to record the autopsy results truthfully, but the police officers responsible for handling the case did not know how to analyze the report after receiving it.

Then the autopsy was almost in vain.

"well"

He sighed deeply, adjusted his mentality, and then said in a calm tone:

"Just these two paragraphs are enough to prove that the deceased's 'suicide' is highly suspicious."

"First, the knife edge is from right to left."

"Was the deceased left-handed or right-handed?"

"Most people are right-handed, and right-handed people commit suicide by cutting their necks with a knife. The most convenient and natural cutting direction is from left to right, not right to left."

As he spoke, Lin Xinyi put his right hand on the left front of his neck and demonstrated how to get rid of himself more smoothly.

Miwako Sato tried it and found it easier to cut from left to right.

"Indeed, we asked before when we visited and investigated."

"The deceased, Ninoho, was right-handed."

Thinking of this, her confidence became a little weak.

Before Miwako Sato had time to hesitate and question, Lin Xinyi continued:

"Having said that, even though the deceased was obviously right-handed, he still chose to cut from right to left abnormally."

"Then there are still problems with this wound:"

"Because it is 'high on the right and low on the left, slightly tilted, almost horizontal'."

As soon as Lin Xin spoke, waves of confusion appeared on Miss Miwako's face.

He simply stopped pausing and explained directly to the other party:

"Such 'nearly rampant' wounds often appear in homicide cases."

"Because the person who commits suicide by cutting his neck has limited movement of the knife-holding arm, the wound will be tilted."

"And if you are a right-handed person and use your right hand to cut from right to left, the wound will often be high on the back and low on the front."

"The reason is also very simple. You will know when you put your right hand on the right side of your neck and try to make a cut to the left:"

"In this way, when the knife is moved from low to high, the force can be exerted more smoothly."

"In other words, if the deceased committed suicide with his right hand, the wound on his neck should be 'higher on the left and lower on the right'."

"But the fact is that 'the right side is high and the left side is low'. The right side in front of the wound is high, and the left side behind the wound is low."

These are just twelve short words in the autopsy report.

Lin Xinyi has already summarized and analyzed two doubts.

Miwako Sato's expression became extremely wonderful.

She finally realized that her judgment a year ago might have been completely wrong.

And Lin Xinyi’s indiscriminate bombardment has not stopped:

"The last point is:"

"The autopsy report said that the entire incision was located on the thyroid cartilage, below the Adam's apple."

"Exactly, let me tell you some more experience:"

Lin Xinyi paused for a moment and explained emphatically:

"Suicides are mostly located above the Adam's apple, while homicides are mostly located below the Adam's apple."

"This is because the area above the Adam's apple is protected by the lower jaw, while the area below the Adam's apple is relatively exposed."

"At the same time, when committing suicide and cutting the neck, the criminal holds his head in one hand and cuts the neck with a knife in the other. In order to prevent himself from accidentally killing himself, he often cuts the neck at the lower part of the neck."

"And in this case, the entire incision on the deceased's neck was located below the Adam's apple——"

"That explains part of the problem."

"This, this" Sato Miwako was so sad that she couldn't speak.

The usually smart and capable beautiful investigator looked as dumb as a rookie in front of Lin Xinyi.

After hearing this series of careful analyses, she finally had to accept the cruel fact:

She really settled an unjust, false and wrong case!

There were so many doubts in the suicide case a year ago, but she didn't see it at all.

Although the person in charge of handling the case was the Yousei Police Department at the time, after the Yousei Police Department died in the line of duty, it was the Nara police officer.

But Miwako Sato was also involved. She also guaranteed the result of the "suicide" and let the case be closed in a muddle.

"sorry"

"It's me. It's my fault!"

Miwako Sato was so guilty that she felt ashamed.

She stood up, bowed deeply and apologized to the administrator in front of her, who was 4 years younger than herself.

"You don't have to apologize to me."

"You are sorry for handling such a stupid case."

Lin Xinyi still wanted to say some more critical words.

But he had been criticizing for so long, and the previous anger had almost subsided.

Seeing that Officer Sato was so painful and guilty for his mistake, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but quietly relaxed:

"That's fine. Just know that you were wrong."

"Bowing can't solve problems, action can change everything."

With that said, Lin Xinyi stood up and gently lifted Sato Miwako, who was still bowing and thinking about her past:

"Actually, I did something wrong in this matter."

"This" Shiratori and Takagi's expressions changed simultaneously.

Seeing Lin Xinyi's tone suddenly became gentle.

And his hands that naturally held Miwako's shoulders.

The two men were nervous for a while:

Oops

Lin Xinyi first showed his uprightness, and then showed such a strong case-handling ability.

This is undoubtedly similar to the father Miwako Sato admires.

And with Miss Miwako's character, she would never be dissatisfied with Lin Xinyi just because she was criticized for making mistakes.

Now Lin Xinyi changed his attitude just right, treated each other gently, took advantage of the opportunity, encouraged and comforted.

I'm afraid Miwako is about to fall!

"What a terrible opponent"

Shiratori Rensaburo couldn't help but wonder if Lin Xinyi did this on purpose.

If so, that's terrible.

That's what he was thinking.

I heard Manager Lin comforting the female subordinate in a serious manner:

"I'm sorry, Miss Sato."

"I shouldn't have been so angry at you just now—"

"I originally thought there was something wrong with your attitude in handling the case."

"I didn't expect that you guys really tried your best."
