Euston Road, B2 of the Forensic Society.

As the iron door of the elevator slowly opened, the silence was suddenly broken by the crisp sound of leather shoes.

Shuichi Hayashi and Miki and others followed Mr. Osborne here to check on the body of Minoru Kawauchi, a Japanese citizen who was killed. According to Mr. Osborne's presentation. The bodies of all the victims of the Dover case are now kept here. The Metropolitan Police's Forensic Unit has conducted forensic examinations for each victim. According to the opinion of forensic experts, all 12 victims died of pathological asphyxiation. At the same time, the police also found a ventilation device in the container where the bodies were found that had stopped working due to a malfunction, which also confirmed the view given by forensic experts.

A member of the British police escort who was traveling with him stopped in front of a confined iron gate. One of them hurriedly stepped forward and opened the iron door with a key, and as the iron door slowly opened, someone walked in and turned on the switch on the wall. With a flicker of light, the originally dark room finally brightened.

"Please come in!"

Mr. Osborne greeted Lin Xiuyi and the others. Lin Xiu nodded and followed Osborne into the room. Seeing this, Miki and Urashima hurriedly followed.

The temperature in the room was a bit low, and there was a noticeable gap between the temperature upstairs. Rows of refrigerated cabinets for corpses can be seen on the walls on the left and right, and it is clear that the corpses have been kept at low temperatures.

"Wait a minute, it looks like a refrigerator 17!"

A member of the Forensic Society whispered to Osborne, and then he was in front of the left-hand cabinet and found the location of Reefer 17 through the number on the door. Then he opened the handle on the cabinet door and carefully pulled the body inside.

"Gentlemen, you can come here now!"

After Osborne confirmed to the staff of the Forensic Appraisal Association, he immediately greeted Lin Xiuyi and the others. After getting permission from Mr. Osborne, Lin Xiuyi took his subordinates to the corpse of Minoru Kawauchi, and silently expressed his condolences with his hands folded.

Perhaps it was influenced by the actions of the Japanese guests present. Osborne and the other Englishmen present looked at each other, then raised their hands and drew a cross on their chests, then bowed their heads to express their condolences to the deceased.

When Lin Xiuyi raised his head again, the brief mourning ceremony officially ended. Lin Xiuyi nodded to Mr. Osborne, confirming that he could start the following procedures. The staff member of the Forensic Identification Association immediately pulled open the white cloth sheet that covered the body of Mika Kawauchi, and the body of a naked Asian woman was presented to the police of the two countries.

Lin Shuichi and Miki bent down and carefully examined the deceased's face. At this moment, there is no blood on the body of the deceased, even in places like ** and lips, and the skin of the deceased is showing a sickly white. The whole looks like a white marble statue.

"Excuse me, can we touch the corpse?"

Lin Xiuyi slowly straightened up and asked the escort on the British side.

"Yes, but please bring this!"

An official of the British Forensic Association took out a pair of medical gloves from his pocket and handed them to Lin Xiuyi. After Lin Xiu thanked him, he took the gloves and put them on his hands. He then pulled down the white sheet that had covered the deceased's body. Then he carefully took the dead man's arm and began to look at it carefully.

Kawauchi's fingers are very slender, but the nails on the index and middle fingers of her left hand have fallen off, and there are obvious bruises on her wrists, which is likely to be left behind by the deceased's imprisonment. Along the wrist downward, Lin Xiuyi found some loose pinhole marks at the deceased's elbow socket.

If Lin Xiuyi's guess is correct, these needle holes should be traces left by injecting drugs. In fact, the British police did mention this detail in the post-mortem report. Judging from the shape of these needle holes, there are no signs of ulceration around the pinholes like most addicts, and the position and angle of the pinholes are all located directly above the veins, which means that these pinholes should not have been left by the deceased himself.

"It seems that in addition to being imprisoned for a long time, there is also the possibility of being injected with drugs. Have you found any signs of sexual assault on her?"

Lin Xiuyi gently put the deceased's arm back in place, and then covered the body again with a white cloth sheet.

"We don't know for sure yet, but there is a suspicion that caught our attention. We found that the youngest of the deceased, the Thai girls, remained virgins, as did a Romanian victim and a Russian national. From this point of view, it is likely that the dead people we met were some special commodities in the hands of human trafficking organizations. I suspect they were sent to London to deliver to a particular buyer......"

"A specific buyer?"

Lin Xiuyi asked a little puzzled.

"Actually, this is also my speculation, and there is no substantial evidence, just listen to it!"

Mr. Osborne hesitated slightly, then gently took Lin Xiu aside, and said to him in a low voice:

"If a pedophile or a pervert wants to buy a virgin, as long as they can afford it, the trafficking organizations may be able to provide targeted services. “

"Targeted service?"

Lin Xiuyi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this kind of service exists to meet specific customer requirements. For example, some people may prefer Asian women, while others prefer Russian women. If someone is willing to pay a good enough deposit for their hobby, do you think the illegal organizations involved in the human trade will provide targeted services to these buyers?"

"This ...... I'm sorry, I've never been in contact with a similar case before!"

Hayashi frankly admitted to Mr. Osborne that he would not do it, and although it was a criminal case, a large-scale human smuggling case like this should theoretically be the responsibility of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division. If there is no homicide, the search lesson will not be involved in the investigation of this type of crime.

Mr. Osborne's answer surprised Mr. Osborne, and he didn't expect that the Japanese side would send a rookie who didn't know anything to take charge of this case. Mr. Osborne thought for a long time, and then cautiously asked Lin Xiuyi:

"May I ask Officer Lin, what kind of cases were you mainly responsible for when you were in Japan?"

"This ...... Our role is mainly to assist other departments with some cases that are too busy, do you know what I mean?"

Osborne nodded, and smiled at Lin Xiu with some embarrassment.

"It's a handyman!" Osborne sighed silently in his heart!
