Coroner Ke Xue

Chapter 443 Failed Temptation

The suspect was found and the method to solve the case was determined.

The murder case of Representative Oki has basically been properly resolved.

The next problem to be solved is:

"Did Yue Jiaming be killed by Ruyue Fengshui?"

Lin Xinyi does not need to answer this question.

After turning his attention back to the Yuan Jiaming case, Jianggu Ling quickly came up with the answer.

And this answer doesn’t require any reasoning at all, it’s just there:

"Certainly not."

"Because the forensic doctor speculated that during the time when Yuan Jiaming was killed, Ruyue Fengshui had an alibi."

This is enough to prove that Yuan Jiaming was not killed by Ruyue Fengshui.

But there is a painting bowl left by him at the scene.

"This is not difficult to understand:"

"He wanted to sneak into Yuan Jiaming's home in the middle of the night and kill Mr. Yuan Jiaming."

"But when he arrived at the scene, he found that the target he wanted to kill had been dead in a pool of blood for a long time."

"So, Ruyue Fengshui took advantage of his plan:"

"He left a painted bowl at the scene as his 'murder mark', making people think that Hara Jiaming and Representative Ohki died at the same time at the hands of the same murderer."

"In this way, Ruyue Fengshui can use his alibi at the time of Yuan Jiaming's death to convince the police that he is not the serial killer."

This was Ruyue Fengshui's strategy to clear himself from suspicion.

But of course he wouldn't have thought of:

Lin Xinyi had already identified him as the number one suspect in the case based only on the on-site investigation data of Representative Omu's case.

And his alibi during the time of Yuan Jiaming's death also helped Jiang Guling:

"When Hara Jiaming died, Kisaragi Fengshui was still drinking and chatting at the izakaya."

"So the real culprit who killed Yuan Jiaming will definitely not be him."

"So." Officer Feng Gu's eyes became more solemn:

After Ruzuki Fengshui was eliminated, the Hara Jiaming case was completely disconnected from the Oki Representative case.

The murderer is someone else.

But Jiangu Ling still couldn't confirm that Yuan Jiaming's death must be related to the organization.

After all, the Japanese police currently have no evidence of Yuan Jiaming's connection with the organization. They are just scratching the surface and know that he has interacted with some "men in black."

So, the problem he wants to solve now becomes:

"Is the real culprit in the Yuan Jiaming case the killer of the organization?"

"This." Lin Xinyi hesitated slightly: "I'm not sure about this."

"I have read the information on Yuan Jiaming's case. It would be a bit unrealistic to confirm the identity of the murderer from these information."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Guling was not too disappointed.

He consulted Lin Xinyi with the idea of trying his luck, and did not expect Lin Xinyi to give an accurate answer.

"but."

Lin Xinyi paused slightly and said:

"There is indeed something fishy about Yuan Jiaming's case."

"Oh?" Fang Gu Ling cast his eyes expectantly.

Lin Xinyi calmly picked up the file of Yuan Jiaming's case, pointed to the autopsy report and explained:

"Yuan Jiaming died of a gunshot wound to the chest."

"But there were several shallow cuts on his neck caused by sharp objects, with obvious signs of life."

"Officer Furutani, do you know what this means?"

"Of course." Jiang Guling has also seen the case information.

He immediately replied:

"This means that the murderer put a dagger to Yuan Jiaming's neck before shooting him."

"And there were signs that items had been turned over at the crime scene."

"Combining these two points, it's not hard to guess:"

"The murderer wanted to find something from Yuan Jiaming, so he put a knife to his neck and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of that thing."

"That's right." Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly.

Talking to smart people is not that strenuous. Compared with his usual work in the Metropolitan Police Department, he now has much less effort to explain:

"The murderer used a sharp instrument to repeatedly cut the victim's neck, but deliberately controlled the force and only cut a few shallow strips of skin."

"This shows that the murderer's purpose was not to cause physical harm, but to threaten and intimidate psychologically."

"In forensic medicine, this kind of injury is called a 'coercion injury'."

"The presence of coercion injuries on the body means that the deceased must have been completely passive and controlled by the murderer before he was alive."

The knife was held to his neck, and the victim must have been completely powerless to resist in front of the murderer.

This is not difficult to understand.

"It's strange"

"When Yuan Jiaming's body was discovered, he was holding a silver-plated table knife tightly in his hand."

"The murderer has already controlled him, how could he be allowed to have a weapon in his hand?"

Lin Xinyi asked a question, and Officer Fenggu quickly answered:

"It's not hard to understand."

"Maybe Mr. Yuan Jiaming happened to be next to the dining table when he was controlled by the murderer."

"He realized that there was absolutely no way he would be spared by the murderer, so in desperation he picked up the knife on the table and decided to fight to the death."

"And this also led the murderer to pull the trigger and kill him."

"No." Lin Xinyi shook his head:

"Mr. Yuan Jiaming was not at the dining table when he was controlled and threatened by the murderer with a knife."

"He escaped from the murderer's control and ran to the dining table before he was shot."

"Oh?" Jiang Guling was a little curious: 'Why do you say that? "

"Because of the shooting distance."

According to Jiang Guling's guess, Yuan Jiaming was held hostage with a knife, picked up a table knife to fight back, and was then shot and killed by the murderer.

If this is the case, then the murderer was holding Yuan Jiaming hostage before shooting.

The distance between him and Yuan Jiaming, and the distance between the gun in his hand and Yuan Jiaming, must be very close.

"But the murderer's shooting distance was at least 3 meters."

"Because the blood that spattered after Yuan Jiaming was shot in the chest splashed onto the floor 2 or 3 meters in front of him without any hindrance."

Lin Xinyi pointed to the photo of the scene, where a few drops of blood were spread in front of the body and spread several meters away, looking at the inconspicuous splatters of blood.

Because bones are hard in texture, they are not easily deformed and expanded.

Therefore, when a bullet hits a bone, the bone absorbs energy, and the energy spreads to the surroundings. The bone "seismic" shock fractures will instantly produce subcutaneous hot gas, instantaneous cavities, and reaction forces locally.

This may cause the blood to splash back and spray out in the direction of the bullet and the direction where the murderer is standing.

At this time, if the murderer is not far away from the deceased, he may even be standing in front of the deceased.

The blood that splashed back and sprayed from the deceased's chest would definitely be partially blocked by the murderer's body.

"But the blood spatter at the scene showed no sign of being blocked."

"This shows that the murderer was far enough away from the deceased when he fired."

"But it's not too far."

"If it is too far away, the kinetic energy of the bullet will not be enough to form such an obvious blood spatter."

Lin Xinyi thought for a while and estimated with some uncertainty:

"When the murderer shot, there was about 3 to 5 meters between him and Yuan Jiaming, right?"

"This" Jiangu Ling quietly realized something:

Yuan Jiaming was personally held hostage by the murderer before his death.

But when he died, he was 3 to 5 meters away from the murderer.

This means that the murderer may have deliberately let go of Yuan Jiaming because he was determined to shoot and he felt that blood would be stained on him if he got close and fired.

It may also be that Yuan Jiaming found an opportunity himself and broke away from the murderer's control.

In short

At the last moment of Yuan Jiaming's life, he escaped from the murderer.

He fled 3 meters away, fled to the dining table, and desperately picked up the silver-plated table knife.

The strange thing is here:

"Why didn't Yuan Jiaming continue to run away, but stopped and picked up the knife?"

"The murderer had a gun in his hand and kept distance from Yuan Jiaming."

"When he picked up that harmless table knife, could he still pose any threat to the gunman standing 3 meters away?"

Lin Xinyi's face was full of confusion.

He couldn't see the mystery for a while, so he could only say tentatively:

"Could it be that Yuan Jiaming was so scared that he lost his mind in despair?"

Just like a drowning person clinging to straws that can't save him, despair can indeed make people panic.

This is a reasonable explanation.

but

"I understand!" Jianggu Ling's eyes lit up.

Lin Xinyi's words were like a bolt of lightning striking the back of Conan's head, instantly opening his mind.

Using his imagination like a famous detective, he quickly deduced the real intention of Yuan Jiaming's desperate "useless" action before his death:

"That was not a useless effort that Yuan Jiaming did out of desperation."

"That table knife is the death message he left behind with all his might!"

Officer Fang Gu quietly increased his tone:

"That's a silver-plated table knife."

"Silver, ぎん, written in Roman pronunciation is GINN!"

Silver is pronounced "GIN" in Japanese.

If you think of "GIN" as English and then translate it into Chinese, that's...

"Gin!"

Fang Guling easily decoded this death message:

"Yuan Jiaming is telling us that the person who killed him was Gin!"

"." Lin Xinyi was silent for a while.

He was not too surprised by this result.

Because he learned from Belmode that Gin was a model worker in the organization and almost single-handedly took on the job of cleaning up the house.

If Nahara Jiaming is really connected to the organization and wants to be eliminated by the organization, then the person responsible for doing it will probably be Gin.

With mental preparation, Lin Xinyi would naturally not reveal his flaws.

He was just stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively:

"Who is Gin?"

Lin Xinyi's tone was very cautious.

He had already realized that this was a good opportunity to test Jianggu Zero.

There are only a few members of the organization who usually deal with Gin.

If he could find out how much Furuya Rei knew about Gin, he might be able to indirectly determine the other party's specific position in the organization.

After getting help from Lin Xinyi several times, Officer Jianggu no longer had any wariness about him.

When he asked this question, Jiang Guling immediately replied smoothly:

"Gin? He is a cadre of that organization."

"This guy"

Jianggu Ling's voice stopped abruptly.

He seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Why?" Lin Xinyi suppressed his anxiety and said with a smile, pretending not to care:

"This is a secret of your Japanese police. Isn't it convenient for others to know it?"

"No." Jiang Guling shook his head.

Just listen to him saying to Lin Xinyi with concern:

"Mr. Lin is our friend now, and it's okay to reveal some information to you."

"but."
