Chapter 3 Case Closed
"Do you think it's him?" Lin Xiuyi asked suspiciously, while Yuichi Aizawa and Hanagato squatted next to the corpse, and the three of them carefully looked at the appearance of the deceased. Lin Xiu looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't determine whether the deceased was the guy or not.
"It looks like it, but it's hard to say if it's soaked like this in the sea!" Yu Aizawa looked at it for a long time, but he was still not sure, so he looked at Hanagata Tou silently, hoping that Hanagata could determine the identity of the deceased based on his impression.
"I think it's that guy!"
"No matter, let's go back and wait for the research to compare the hair samples we handed in!" Lin Xiuyi stood up and folded his hands and saluted the deceased in silence, as did Yuichi Aizawa and Hanagata. The three of them then walked along the pier to the place where the body was found.
It's not that Lin Xiuyi has a bad memory, it's that the corpse has been eroded too much. There is a big hole in the brain of the deceased, and the brain tissue has been cleaned by the animals in the sea, and when the corpse was observed just now, several crabs the size of fingernails ran out of it one after another, and these small things were collected as evidence by the staff of the scientific search and research institute. However, because the body was soaked in the sea, there was no unpleasant smell of high decay at the scene, but the evidence should have been washed away by the sea.
"Flower shape, go and ask who found the corpse and see what clues there are!" Lin Xiuyi commanded as he observed his surroundings.
Although it is located in the port area, there are very few people to see, and it is usually some fishing enthusiasts who come here. Not far away, divers sent by the scientific search research institute are searching for evidence underwater, but since this water area is a favorite place for fishing enthusiasts, it means that the nearby water flow should be very complicated, and the nutrients brought by the current are the reason for the gathering of fish here, but it also brings big trouble to the evidence work, and the probability of leaving evidence here is almost zero.
"Police Department, this is Mr. Ichiro Mori who found the body!" Hanagata walked over with an old man dressed casually, and the old man looked like he had come to fish. After introducing Lin Xiuyi to the old man, Lin Xiuyi bowed slightly to the old man, then took out the business card in the pocket of his suit, and then said:
"I'm Lin Xiuyi from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, this is my business card, can you tell me how you found the body?"
"It was about four o'clock in the morning, huh...... It was not yet dawn, and I was about to drink a cup of hot coffee after getting off the pole, when suddenly something floated up from the bottom of the water, and I thought it was some immoral ghost who threw away the garbage, so I thought about taking it up with a fishing net and taking it away, but I got it...... I caught a dead man, and I was so frightened that I almost fell into the sea...... "The old man is still quite organized, probably has been questioned by the police several times. However, his testimony did not help, this corpse knew at a glance that it had not been a day or two since he died, and if the deceased was really Brother Bird Walker, it was a strong man who could throw Lin Xiuyi down the steps, and this old man was definitely not his opponent.
"It seems that we still have to wait for the autopsy report! Aizawa, Hanagata, go back first, and record a confession for Mr. Ichiro Mori! See if you can determine the identity of this guy, and then decide the direction of the next investigation!"
Lin Xiuyi explained to the person in charge of the scientific search and research at the scene, and they promised to go back and conduct a DNA test on the deceased first to see if this guy was the exhibitionist. Lin Xiuyi was a little glad that he was able to leave a sample of Brother Bird's hair, otherwise if Brother Bird Walker was really dead and couldn't prove his identity, the case of exhibitionism in Wenjing District would become an unsolved case that could never be solved.
On the way back, Hanagata and Lin Xiuyi have been recalling the characteristics of Brother Bird Walker, hoping to connect Brother Bird Walk with the deceased, and Yuichi Aizawa, who is in charge of driving, looks at Lin Xiuyi sitting in the back seat with a rearview mirror from time to time.
The police are sensitive, Aizawa Yuichi was worried that Lin Xiuyi would be uncomfortable when he saw the corpse for the first time, Lin Xiuyi was his boss, if it was not surprising, Aizawa would work under Lin Xiuyi for many years, if Lin Xiuyi's performance was too poor, Aizawa and they would naturally be looked down upon by other colleagues in the search class. But seeing Lin Xiuyi's performance on the scene today, although there was no shining point, he was basically very calm.
"Police Department, I didn't expect you to be so calm when you saw the body of the victim for the first time, it's really admirable!" Aizawa Yu couldn't hide his words in his heart, and his professional habits as a police officer made him not used to having those unexplainable things in his heart, so he asked bluntly.
"Well, I had a serious car accident when I was a child, and since then I haven't been very afraid of bloody things, so it's a blessing in disguise!" Lin Xiuyi casually made up an excuse.
Collecting evidence is a meticulous and patient job, but thanks to Lin Xiuyi's explanation in advance before leaving the scene, he was lucky to get the DNA identification report sent by the scientific search research before leaving work.
"It's really the same person!" Although Lin Xiuyi had already prepared for this result, he still felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Could it be that the first case in his RB police career was closed like this? The subject of the investigation died in the sea in the port area, and when he was fished up, he was already eaten by the animals in the sea and only a skin was left.
"Does this mean that we can close the case in Bunkyo District?" asked Hanagata uncertainly, the indecent assault case in Bunkyo Ward took everyone more than a month, and this is not counting the assistance of the police station below. I thought that the failure of the last arrest had made the suspect have a defense, but who knew that his body could be fished out of the sea.
"How did this guy die, was he hit in the back of the head with a blunt object?" Lin Xiuyi asked as he pulled the person from the scientific research institute.
"Although the detailed autopsy report will not be available for several days, judging from the gap in the victim's head, there is no sign of healing of the wound, which means that when the victim was hit on the head, he either died on the spot or was hit after death. A colleague from the research institute replied.
"What about the murder weapon, can you know what the murder weapon is?" Lin Xiuyi asked again.
"Judging from the striking surface, it should be a smooth and slippery arc, and it's hard to say what it is! No murder weapon was found at the scene!" The colleague of the scientific search research obviously had to rush back to work busily, so she was unhappy with Lin Xiuyi's endless questions, but Lin Xiuyi was made up by the police department, and she couldn't refuse in person.
"Police, we still have to prepare for the next autopsy, so ......"
"One last question, can we confirm the identity of the victim?" Lin Xiuyi finally said.
"I'm sorry, the only evidence we have at the moment is the victim's body!" the other party quickly made an excuse and left after saying this.
