Coroner Ke Xue

Conan finally got what he wanted and was temporarily transferred from being a child adopter back to being a detective.

He quickly got into working mode, and his expression became confident and serious:

"Lin, what do you think of this case?"

The first thing Conan asked was Lin Xinyi's opinion.

Lin Xinyi is a suspect and an eyewitness to the case. His knowledge and thoughts are very important to the investigation.

"This case."

Lin Xinyi replied helplessly:

"The most likely possibility is pure accidental death."

"First of all, Mr. Zhang Tian's symptoms are consistent with unexpected sudden death."

"Secondly, when I was rescuing him, in order to facilitate his chest movement and breathing, I took off his shirt."

"So I also paid a little attention: I haven't found any suspicious injuries visible to the naked eye on his body, at least on his upper body."

"As a result, the possibility of sudden unexpected death becomes even greater:"

"There are two types of sudden death: the first is sudden death from diseases that are easy to understand, such as heart disease and cerebrovascular disease."

"The second type is the so-called 'suppression of death', which is not impossible."

Although Lin Xinyi did not attack Mr. Zhang Tian.

However, there are many different ways to die by suppressing death.

Some people don't even need to take action. Once they get excited or angry, they can piss themselves to death - for example, Wang Situ.

People who can be frightened to death - like Xia Houjie.

There are even those who are extremely handsome - such as Wei Jie.

These are also all forms of suppressed death.

Even if you don't get beaten, you can still die suddenly.

"Mr. Zhang Tian is still rescuing him now. It's hard to say whether he is dead or alive."

"And there was no news from the hospital, so we can't be sure whether he died suddenly from illness or from suppression."

"If it's the former, then this case has nothing to do with me."

"If it's the latter, I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a bit of a loss."

After all, Mr. Zhang Tian died suddenly while entangled with him.

If no disease factors are found in the end, the family members will definitely not accept the fact that Mr. Zhang Tian died suddenly for no reason, and will regard Lin Xinyi as the culprit of his sudden death.

It’s not like there have never been stories in China where old people were discouraged from smoking, causing the old people to get emotional and get sick and die. As a result, they were blackmailed by the family members of the deceased.

Mr. Zhang Tian’s family happened to be short of money.

He is poor and has short ambitions. Who knows if his family will take this as an excuse and take the opportunity to "demand an account" from him?

What if Lin Xinyi was entangled by the other party's family members like this?

Regardless of whether he wins the lawsuit or loses money in the end, his reputation will be affected a lot.

"Actually, I can barely bear the financial losses and damage to my reputation."

Lin Xinyi is quite tolerant.

What he mainly thinks about is not himself, but the truth behind this case:

"The first thing we need to find out now is whether Mr. Zhang Tian's sudden death was an accident."

"Conan, it's up to you to find out."

"Yeah." Conan nodded and asked tentatively: "Then do you think someone poisoned him?"

"There are indeed many drugs that can achieve this effect similar to sudden death."

"We don't need to guess about this question. We should be able to get the answer when the rescue results are received from the hospital."

"But I personally think it is unlikely that this case is a homicide."

Lin Xinyi once again gave his opinion:

Mr. Zhang Tian had an accident in a movie theater.

The boss of Muramatsu has refused to sell the theater. Those theater employees can keep their jobs. There is no need to hate Mr. Zhang Tian anymore.

Since it was not a theater employee who did it, could it be that there are other enemies of Mr. Zhang Tian lurking among these guests?

This possibility does exist, but it is small.

"Actually, in my opinion"

"If something happens to Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​the most likely thing is to commit suicide."

"Because he is in such a miserable state now, it can even be said that he is almost forced to go to the rooftops by loan sharks."

"But the problem is, his symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest and sudden death have nothing to do with suicide."

Lin Xinyi told Conan everything he knew:

Suicide and homicide are unlikely. The most likely answer is accident.

But whether it is a forensic doctor or a detective, the word "accident" cannot be used casually.

"I understand." Conan nodded to express his understanding: "I will find out the truth and determine whether this is really an accident."

"However, I still have questions to ask—"

"When you were rescuing Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​I saw from the side that there seemed to be a lot of water drops hanging on his head and face."

"Is this something that was on his head from the beginning, or was it a result of sweating after he fell ill and collapsed?"

Lin Xin thought for a while and replied: "It was there from the beginning."

"OK."

Conan quickly started thinking:

The air-conditioning in the screening room is very strong, and the temperature is not high, even a bit cold.

The cinema hall outside the screening room is also cooled by central air conditioning, which will definitely not make people sweat.

In this case, the water drops on Mr. Zhang Tian's head are most likely not sweat, but water.

"Did he go to the bathroom and wash his face before coming to the screening room to watch the movie?"

Conan roughly guessed Mr. Zhang Tian's itinerary before entering the screening room.

So he quickly said goodbye to Lin Xinyi, walked out of the screening room, and wanted to rush to the men's room to look for any traces that Mr. Zhang Tian might have left.

But Conan hadn't walked far out of the screening room when he quickly noticed a string of water droplets remaining on the corridor floor:

"Could this string of water drops be left by Mr. Zhang Tian when he was walking?"

This string of water droplets has been pointing towards the screening room, and the people who have just gathered in the screening room are all wet——

In other words, this string of water drops was probably left by Mr. Zhang Tian.

Thinking of this, Conan immediately followed the string of water drops and slowly groped forward.

Before I could find any clues, I bumped into Miss Haiyuan first.

Hui Yuan Ai was actually also in the corridor, and she was still squatting down. Like him, she was carefully observing the water drops on the ground.

"Haiyuan, why are you here?"

Only then did Conan react belatedly.

Just when he was busy begging Lin Xinyi to agree to participate in the investigation, Hui Yuan Ai seemed to have disappeared.

Could it be that she had already sneaked out to investigate on her own?

"Yes." Haiyuan Ai replied calmly without raising his head: "The person involved in this case is Lin Xinyi."

"I don't trust leaving it to others to investigate."

"Okay." Conan choked slightly:

He finally took a case, but someone still beat him to it

This feeling is like being hungry and your roommate takes a big bite of the snack you just opened without any explanation, which makes people feel a little gloomy.

But Detective Conan quickly adjusted his mood and showed a professional demeanor:

"Have you discovered anything, Haiyuan?"

"have"

Hui Yuan Ai was still observing the string of water drops on the ground:

"It's just this string of water drops."

"Conan, you should have noticed the problem, right?"

"Yes." Conan's smile quietly became confident: "If this string of water drops was left by Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​it would explain a lot of problems."

"Because the 'burrs' around this string of water droplets are very even."

He used the method of analyzing dripping blood stains in forensic field science.

The so-called dripping blood stains are blood stains formed by blood dripping onto the surface of an object under the action of gravity.

Because the surface of the object on which the blood is dripping is not smooth enough, when the blood drips and collides with the ground,

""-shaped "burrs" will appear around the dripping blood.

"So you know this too."

"But didn't you say that you want to insist on being your great detective and don't want to learn trace analysis from Lin Xinyi?"

Haiyuan Ai said embarrassing words without changing his expression.

"Ahem. I didn't deliberately steal my lessons."

"He just mentioned this to me during the robbery and murder case at the tram station."

Conan defended himself with a red face, and then tried to bring the topic back to the analysis of traces of water droplets:

"In short, water drops and blood drops are relatively similar."

"If these water droplets dripped from Mr. Zhang Tian's body when he was walking normally"

"Then the 'burrs' around these water droplets should appear to be different lengths."

When a person walks, the water droplets falling from the body will have a horizontal speed.

When water droplets fall to the ground, the liquid will converge more in the direction where the speed points, and the burrs formed in that direction will be longer.

But the "burrs" around the string of water droplets left by Mr. Zhang Tian are relatively uniform.

This is a state that occurs only when droplets are falling vertically in a static state.

"But Mr. Zhang Tian was definitely not in a static state at that time."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a long series of water droplets pointing in the direction of the screening room."

"So, this burr's uniform droplet shape can only explain it."

Conan gave the answer confidently:

"He was walking very slowly, almost stationary."

"Coupled with the short distance between these water droplets, it is even more certain that Mr. Zhang Tian was walking very slowly at the time."

Because it is difficult to determine the frequency of water droplets dripping, I don’t know how long it will take before a drop of water drips from Mr. Zhang Tian’s body.

Therefore, it is impossible to accurately judge the walking speed by simply looking at the distance between water droplets.

But combining the distance between the water droplets and the burr shape on the edge of the water droplets, the conclusion drawn can be called scientific and credible.

"Why does Mr. Zhang Tian walk so slowly?"

Conan asked himself a question.

Haiyuan Ai also immediately expressed her guess:

"Because, there was already something wrong with his body at that time."

"Mr. Zhang Tian did not suddenly become ill and die suddenly, but before entering the screening room, or even earlier, his body had already developed strong symptoms that made him extremely uncomfortable."

"So Mr. Zhang Tian can't walk fast at all."

"He could only hold on to the wall and slowly move forward bit by bit."

"It wasn't until later that he felt a little better and was able to walk independently without leaning against the wall."

Haihara Ai said this, and also added a reasoning for Conan:

"And that's why the water droplets initially fall down along the wall and then move slightly further away from the wall."

"In short, our patient has been 'sick' for a long time."

"And, Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​he knows this."
