【Chapter 255】Coagulated blood
Heiji Hattori and Conan came to the scene of the incident, which was a standard Western-style courtyard villa. They saw that in front of the villa, several police officers were asking a man who was wiping tears from his eyes.
Leaving Conan waiting outside, Hattori entered the villa with a special pass issued by the police.
"Uncle Maori and Mr. Amuro have arrived." Hattori saw that Toru Amuro and Kogoro Mori were already investigating at the scene.
Maori Kogoro said maturely and steadily: "Boy, as a detective, the speed of handling cases is the first, as a detective, you still have to learn a lot." ”
However, it didn't help, as anyone who knew even a little about the slept detective knew that he was just showing off himself.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Sera hurriedly walked into the scene with Conan in his arms.
Wait, why is she holding Conan?
And how could Conan give her a hug?
"Why did you bring this little ghost here, let him out, this is the scene!" Mori Kogoro grabbed Conan and was about to throw it out, but he didn't expect a few more people to walk into the house at this time.
"Brother Maori, what are you doing here, child abuse?" The Twilight Police Department asked.
Maori Kogoro hurriedly put Conan down: "No, no, it's just that I'm afraid that this guy will wander around the scene, so I want him to go home." ”
"Stay." The Twilight Police Department said.
"Huh?" Except for Zhengtai Kongshiliang, all the detectives were dumbfounded.
Officer Twilight hammered himself on the back and said tiredly, "The pressure is very high right now, and the pressure on me is also very high, isn't Conan's child often called the lucky star by you, so let him stay." ”
At this time, the detectives noticed that the expression of the Twilight Police Department was very haggard, the face was a little sallow, and the circles under the eyes were also a little dark. The Twilight Police Department wiped away the tears that had been squeezed out from the yawning and asked the officers present, "Where is the body?" ”
"The body was buried under a cliff in the suburbs and has been transferred to a forensic laboratory." The officer replied.
"So what are we doing here?" Hattori asked.
"Actually, we knew about this case before, but it has been kept secret, two months ago, someone found a pile of charred bones that were hastily buried under a cliff in the suburbs, according to the examination, we confirmed that the deceased was a woman, and later based on the missing person information, we found several matching people, and finally used DNA technology to determine that the deceased was the occupant of this villa." ”
Toru Amuro asked, "What about the information of the deceased and the cause of death?" ”
"The deceased's name is Shizuko Mizumi, 33 years old, her husband's name is Mizumi Qiao, they have no children, the forensic doctor found several bullet holes in the skull of the bones, which were identified as wounds left by a 5.588 mm caliber pistol, judging by the size of the wounds, the gunman shot the victim at close range, and then the murderer burned the body and buried it."
Seliang was more curious about how the police knew the identity of the victim.
"Although the victim's body was incinerated, many parts were not completely carbonized, we collected tooth samples and contacted the victim's dentist, obtained the victim's previous teeth from the dentist, and finally confirmed her identity through DNA comparison."
Shiliang asked, "The man who was questioned by the police at the gate was the husband of the victim?" ”
"Yes, after the victim's disappearance, her husband called the police and searched everywhere, but now he is also suspected of committing a crime." The Twilight Police Department said.
"It's cruel, my wife was killed, and I was saddled with the notoriety of a suspect, it's a sad story." Officer Takagi, who has been playing soy sauce, is a little sorry.
According to the investigation, Mizumi Qiao is a remarried person, and he and Shizuko Mizumi have had conflicts because of the problem of not being able to have children. Their marriage was not happy, full of conflict, violence and anger. Moreover, Shizuko Minakami once accused her husband of having an affair, which also deepened the conflict between the husband and wife.
Mizumi had a motive to kill his wife.
"So does he have anything to do with the serial killings?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"I don't know, but the method of dumping the body in this case is very similar to that of serial murders," the police department said. ”
"Does Shui Qiao have an alibi?"
"Of course not, at that time, he reported to the police that the victim was missing, and the body was found two months later."
At this time, the police officer of the forensic department came over and reported to the Twilight Police Department: "We found several red spots in the bedroom that appeared to be bloodstains, but no traces of bullets. ”
At many crime scenes, the police will find some red spots. These spots may be tacos, ketchup, cosmetics, and to confirm whether they are bloodstains, officers from the Forensics Division will test them with cotton swabs stained with tetramethylbenzidine, a chemical that reacts with hemoglobin in the blood to produce a darker color.
Tetramethylbenzidine lived up to expectations, and the cotton swab showed color.
"If this was the scene of the killing, there wouldn't have been just these bloodstains." Mori Kogoro, who has experience in criminal investigation, judges.
Blood is not only a corrosive liquid (relatively speaking), it also penetrates into the interior of the object. Blood can splash in unexpected places, and even if the killer thinks the blood has been removed, the trace element iron in the blood will remain on the surface of objects for years, but this element is not visible to the naked eye.
So the officers and detectives wearing shoe covers, gloves and masks covered the doors and windows with black cotton. The officer of the Forensic Section pulls out a bottle of sprayer with the words "Luminol" written on it.
Luminol is a powder composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which is mixed with a liquid and sprayed onto the surface of an object, and if iron is detected, it reacts in the dark and emits blue light.
Even if the ratio of blood to water reaches 1:400,000 or 1:500,000, luminol will still find the presence of blood.
The blood glowed. There was blood all over the room, and it was easy to see the splattered form. It glows in the dark, looks like a galactic starry sky, and looks like some kind of fashion person's design. The first thing that some of the officers present associated with when they saw this scene was even a Christmas tree.
Based on the analysis of the pattern of blood splattering, the officers of the Forensic Identification Division determined that the victim had been killed in his bed.
But at this moment, a police officer from the forensic department looked around and said, "I've been here before. ”
How does it feel like some kind of horror movie plot unfolding? Mori Kogoro asked in surprise, "Mr. Officer, have you been here before?" ”
Three years ago, the forensic officer had also come here to investigate another case.
One of Mizumi's ex-wives, who was also in the bedroom, was also in bed, and shot himself in the head. According to the investigation, the guns originated from gangs. This pistol was bought by Mizumi Qiao's ex-wife for self-murder.
This coincidence shocked the people involved in the investigation. Now, they had to determine whether the bloodstains were caused by suicide or by homicide.
The Metropolitan Police Department has a bloodspattered morphology analysis department, which has a testing ground here. Analysts conduct experiments on highly realistic blood on a white sheet of paper several meters wide. There are many ways to do this, such as putting a wrench into a blood bucket, soaking it in blood, and then throwing it on a white piece of paper. In this way, the shape of the blood will be intuitively revealed.
The shape of the blood stain can reveal the path of the blood. A circular bloodstain means that the blood droplet touches the surface of the object at a relatively vertical angle, and if the bloodstain has a tail, then the path of the bloodstain can be inferred.
Police officers and detectives are relatively familiar with this technique. Officers from the Forensic Identification Division first measured the circular blood stains on the ceiling, with blood splatters located directly below them. They then measured the longer stain of blood on the wall, and the angle at which the droplets touched the wall pointed to the place where the pillow was.
If Mizumi's ex-wife had shot her in the mouth at the head of the bed, her blood would have spurted to the ceiling, and the blood stains on the walls looked more like the victims had been shot multiple times.
But this does not say anything, only what the blood stains of the victim were like, who the murderer was, or a mystery.
Back at the Metropolitan Police Department, the police and detectives requisitioned another conference room for a meeting - this time, of course, Conan was turned away.
Although after becoming smaller, he can be reasonably coquettish and cute, and he can be forgiven for taking a bath with Xiaolan by the way (crossed out), but he is always treated as a child and does not get the attention of adults, and Conan is still very depressed. Back then, the famous Metropolitan Police Department's savior, Shinichi Kudo, who didn't know who didn't know, sat in a special auditorium when the Metropolitan Police Department held a meeting.
And now →_→
"Hey, it's Ji Haihong? What's the matter? Conan suddenly received a call from Ji Haihong.
Ji Haihong asked with great concern: "How is the case?" ”
"How? It's nothing," Conan said briefly about today's events, "why do you care about this case?" ”
"With your skills and the other detectives, you should be able to solve the case soon."
Conan was a little depressed: "Don't compliment me, now I'm outside the conference room." ”
"Oh, that's really unfortunate, and the last piece of fighting, this time I called, I wanted to tell you, come to my house."
Ever since he knew that Amuro was a Japanese public security officer, Ji Haihong had an extreme distrust of Japan's communications business. So as long as there is a key matter, he will either contact others through a special frequency band communicator, or directly interview.
Conan came to Ji Haihong's villa alone, and Ji Haihong had already made tea here and waited for him.
"What's the matter?" Conan asked.
"It's about Amuro, let's have a cup of tea first."
So, Conan drank tea while listening to Ji Haihong state his findings.
"Think about it, Amuro is a member of the organization, and he is a member of the Japanese public security, and now he is mainly investigating Shuichi Akai, but don't forget, now we don't know what Amuro is responsible for in the organization, don't you think he is too idle? I have always been very punctual to work in a café, and I rarely ask for leave, basically following Uncle Maori to handle cases. ”
Conan also found an anomaly: "When you say that, it seems to be the case, not to mention the profit model of the organization, as far as I am concerned, I will not raise a subordinate who does not do things." ”
――TBC――
What exactly is Toru Amuro responsible for in the organization? How did he become a trusted person for the boss? Unexpected means to solve the case, unexpected identity of the criminal, the black-clothed organization has resurfaced, so stay tuned!
