Chapter 76: A Completely Collapsed Worldview
The murderer, Hitomi, was tortured away by the police officers of the search section.
Gin and vodka blended into the crowd and left low-key.
And Kudo and Xiaolan also said hello to Lin Xinyi and disappeared into the crowd.
But Lin Xinyi did not leave directly.
Worried about the professionalism of the officers of the forensic section, he stayed behind and took the novices with him, and carefully surveyed the tunnel as the first scene.
Yes, even if the murderer has pleaded guilty, the scene investigation cannot be relaxed at all.
Because every trace and clue found at the scene has the potential to completely overturn the previous conclusion.
If the case is not hastily closed without a complete investigation of the scene, the attitude is not rigorous enough, and it is easy to make big mistakes.
That's it... Lin Xinyi personally reconnoitred in the tunnel, led the team to collect all the scattered pearls, and confirmed the scratches left by the grappling hook on the track, as well as the large splattered blood stains left by the deceased's severed head.
It was only then that the case was truly closed.
And when I found this, a long time has passed, and the sky has gradually darkened.
At the beginning of the day, the lights of Dorobiga Park were on, and everyone seemed to be unaffected by the murder, and the atmosphere was still very lively.
Lin Xin and his team walked out of the queuing area of the roller coaster project.
He was about to follow his subordinates back to the Metropolitan Police Department to deal with the case of Kidd, the strange thief.
But at this time, he suddenly saw an acquaintance.
That's Maoriland?.
She wasn't with Kudo now, but was standing alone in the aisle where people came and went, looking around and not knowing what she was looking for.
"Miss Maoliran?" Lin Xinyi asked a little puzzled, "Why are you here alone?" What about Kudo? ”
"Uh... Mr. Lin? ”
Seeing that it was an acquaintance who asked, Mao Lilan suddenly said with a complicated expression:
"We left the site and played in the park for a long time."
"But just as I was about to go home, Shinichi seemed to suddenly see something suspicious on the road, so he left me alone and hurried away."
"He told me to go back first, but..."
"Somehow, I always had a sense of foreboding... It's like you'll never see him again. ”
She muttered worriedly.
Then, noticing Lin Xinyi's expression that suddenly became serious, Mao Lilan suddenly reacted again,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin."
"I think I'm thinking too much."
"Shinichi used to be like this, whenever he encountered something of interest, he would rush forward regardless of it."
"This is probably the case this time... Nothing. ”
Mao Lilan smiled at Lin Xin with some embarrassment:
"I won't delay your work, I'll go home first."
"It is estimated that after the new investigation of the case, he will also go home by himself."
As he spoke, Mao Lilan nodded goodbye to Lin Xin slightly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But Lin Xinyi suddenly called out to her:
"Wait, Miss Maoriland."
"Can you tell me what kind of suspicious person Kudo was chasing at the time?"
"I... I didn't see it clearly. ”
"And in that direction did he go?"
"Over there..."Mao Lilan pointed in one direction, and asked with a little worry, "What, Mr. Lin, do you think something will happen to Shinichi?" ”
"No, no, no... It's just out of concern. ”
"Miss Maolilan, you can go home with peace of mind."
"I'll help you find Kudo again and make sure he's safe."
Lin Xinyi's tone and expression were very calm, but his mood was extremely complicated:
Suspicious people...
Damn, Kudo wouldn't be chasing Gin alone, would he?
Thinking of Kudo's previous suspicion of gin and vodka, Lin Shinichi felt more and more worried.
You must know that the great detective himself is a scumbag, let him chase the cadres of two underground criminal organizations by himself... What if you get discovered?
That's going to kill you!
Lin Xinyi felt that he needed to catch up and see the situation.
Kudo was one of his few friends, and he didn't want to write an autopsy report for this guy.
Because he was worried that the truth of his "collusion" with Gin and others would be exposed in front of people, he didn't dare to bring any helpers.
"You guys lead the team back to the Metropolitan Police Department first!"
"I still have something to do here, and I'll get over by myself in the evening."
Lin Xinyi casually instructed those subordinates, and then watched Miss Mao Lilan leave, and finally started to act alone.
Following the direction pointed out by Mao Lilan, following the path that Kudo had disappeared before, Lin Xinyi tried to search all the way to the past.
"There will definitely be no accidents in crowded places."
"If Kudo is really in danger, it will only happen in places where there are few people."
With this in mind, Lin Xinyi walked through the crowded walkway and locked his eyes on a small forest under a Ferris wheel at the edge of the amusement park not far ahead.
He cautiously made his way through the woods, tentatively looking for more hidden, dark, and inaccessible places.
And then, it didn't take long...
There was a faint groan of pain on the grass ahead.
Lin Xinyi carefully observed the surroundings and did not find suspicious characters such as gin and vodka.
So, following the groan, he hurried forward:
"Kudo, Kudo, is that you?!"
Lin Xinyi stepped forward with an anxious expression.
Looking closely through the dim light, the guy who fell to the ground and groaned in pain turned out to be him, Kudo Shinichi.
The young detective, who had been in good spirits in the afternoon, was now lying on the ground in a daze, his eyes blank, salivating, and his limbs trembling, as if he was about to die in the next second.
He realized Lin Xinyi's arrival and tried hard to say something, but in the end he fainted weakly in pain.
"Damn... Something really happened! ”
Lin Xinyi didn't expect that the thing he was most worried about would come as soon as he said it.
He instinctively wanted to go up to the first aid, but as soon as his hand touched Kudo's body, he was lightly burned by the high temperature emanating from the other party's body:
"It's hot... How could his body temperature be so high?! ”
"What happened to him?"
Lin Xinyi stretched out his hand again and measured Kudo's breathing and heartbeat:
"Heavy and difficult breathing, severe rapid heartbeat."
"The human body has a surge in temperature, there is a lot of sweat secretion on the body surface, and the body temperature..."
There was no thermometer, but just by touching it with his hands, Lin Xinyi knew that this guy's body temperature was at least 40 degrees.
"It's... Is this a symptom of exertional heatstroke? ”
Exertional heat stroke, popularly described as a type of severe heat stroke, generally occurs only in people who perform heavy physical work and strenuous exercise in a hot environment.
But now that it was late in the evening, the temperature was not too high.
How did Kudo show such symptoms of severe heat stroke?
"I can't help it..."
"According to his current body temperature, I am afraid that he will 'burn to death' in a few minutes."
Lin Shinichi is not a professional doctor after all, so he can't completely judge the cause of Kudo's illness.
But he at least knows how to deal with the situation and give effective first aid.
Since the human body has abnormal thermogenesis and body temperature is too high, it is necessary to find a way to cool down urgently.
The most direct way is to undress and increase heat dissipation.
So, without saying a word, Lin Xin stripped Kudo to only a pair of underwear, and then hugged him to a better ventilated and cool position.
There is also a faucet and hose for watering the lawn right next to it.
Lin Xinyi hurriedly turned on the faucet and gently wiped Kudo's body surface with cold water from the hose to help him continue to cool down.
But...
"It's useless, it's completely useless..."
"His body temperature has even gotten higher!"
Cold sweat oozed from Lin Xinyi's forehead:
Although his patient's body temperature was not high in the first place, even from common sense, no one should have a fever to this extent.
It's as if Kudo has a furnace burning in his body, and he wants to melt all his bones and flesh.
At this body temperature, even if you don't die on the spot, most of you will become mentally retarded if you are rescued.
"I can't help it..."
"That's the only way to do it."
Lin Xinyi's expression was extremely solemn:
Both air cooling and external water cooling have been used, but they have no cooling effect at all.
The next thing to do is the more powerful and direct internal water cooling.
And to cool down the body directly...
The first first aid method is to pour ice water into the stomach, preferably ice saline.
However, this method requires professional equipment, otherwise it is very likely that the water will be poured into the trachea directly and forcibly injected into the unconscious person, causing the situation to worsen.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lin Xinyi can only use the second first aid method -
Rinse the rectum with ice water.
"Kudo, hold on to me."
Human life is at stake, and as a doctor, you must not be limited to small things at such a time.
Therefore, Lin Xinyi hurriedly put on a pair of gloves that he had put in his pocket during the previous investigation, turned on the faucet and picked up the water pipe with a serious expression, preparing to carry out the final first aid on Kudo.
If that didn't work, his life would not have been saved.
Lin Xinyi was thinking so, and then...
I saw Kudo...
Kudo shrunk.
Yes - his 1.74-meter-tall adult body suddenly looks like a doll that has been leaking and deformed for a long time... Lighter, shorter, smaller.
Even, he has become younger.
Lin Xinyi: "?????? ”
It's like a poor housewife who sees the quick-frozen shrimp he bought with a lot of money shrinking into such a small lump in a hot pot, and his mood is extremely heavy now.
Syllable!
Lin Xinyi gently slapped himself.
I didn't wake up, but it was still a little painful.
Rubbing his eyes again, he looked at it and saw that the elementary school version of Kudo was still in front of his eyes.
Lin Xinyi: "......"
A thousand words in my chest, gathered into one sentence at this moment:
"Lying down.... Groove!"
