After a long dissection and investigation, it was late at night.

Everyone was still sitting in the office waiting for Lin Xinyi's investigation results, but the atmosphere was completely different from the beginning.

At this time, Matsumoto Katsu sat absentmindedly in his chair, his face pale and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

He obviously had vaguely realized from the words Lin Xinyi said before the autopsy that his son's bizarre death was related to his violent beating three days ago.

This conjecture made him very nervous.

And Mrs. Matsubara, who had completely torn her face with her husband, sat at the other end of the office with a sad face.

Her eyes were full of sadness and anger, and every now and then there were tears in her eyes.

"Enough!"

Seeing his wife's tears that seemed to be silently accusing him of his crimes, Matsubara Katsu only felt irritated in his heart:

"Cry cry cry, know cry..."

"Your son is not your own, who are you going to play!"

Mrs. Matsubara's tears froze, and her expression became a little haggard.

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan suddenly stood in front of Mrs. Matsubara:

"Mr. Matsubara, you're going too far!"

"Don't you feel a little guilty about doing such a tyrannical act to your wife and children?!"

Seeing that this little girl who had only been submissive before dared to mock herself like this, Matsubara Katsu subconsciously wanted to get angry.

But now he no longer had a moral advantage, not to mention the cold eyes of Belmode next to him.

Matsubara held back for a long time, and finally retracted his head in a daze.

Looking at Mao Lilan's angry gaze, he was still a little unconvinced and muttered to himself:

"I'm telling the truth..."

"Don't be deceived by her sympathetic tears, that woman's relationship with Kenichi is not much better!"

"You?!"

Maolilan was a little angry:

This bastard has exposed all the ugly things he has done, and he has not forgotten to smear his wife, who is also a victim.

She never imagined that there would be such a shameless husband and such a cold-blooded father in the world.

At this moment, by the stench and filthy Matsubara Katsu, Mao Lilan suddenly felt that his father, who was also drunk, gambled on horses, and had no interest, seemed to have become a perfect father.

At least Kogoro really loves his family, and it's impossible for him to be abusive.

Of course... If he is really drunk and domestic violence, it is really impossible to say who will be hospitalized in the end.

Mao Lilan thought so in his heart, and his eyes were even more full of anger when he looked at Matsumoto, and even more sympathetic when he looked at Mrs. Matsumoto.

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the office.

Lin Shinichi and Asai Narumi walked into the door with a freshly baked autopsy report with serious expressions.

"Yes, there are results?"

Katsu Matsubara stood up nervously.

And Mrs. Matsubara and Mao Lilan also immediately cast expectant eyes.

Even Belmode, who didn't care about the case itself at first, unconsciously became a little more curious in his eyes.

"yes, there's a result."

Lin Xinyi slowly raised the autopsy report in his hand:

"Through the autopsy, we can now confirm that the deceased, Kenichi Matsubara, died of acute kidney failure caused by 'crush syndrome'."

"In other words, his death was entirely caused by the violent beating of the deceased by Mr. Katsu Matsumoto 3 days ago!"

"W-What?!" Matsumoto Katsu's face turned pale: "Nonsense... Are you kidding! ”

"My son has been fine for the past 3 days, how could he have died because of those small injuries?"

"And what 'crush syndrome'... What the hell?! ”

He asked, in a panic.

And Mao Lilan on the side, as well as Mrs. Matsubara, also immediately showed puzzled eyes.

"Alas..."Lin Xinyi sighed deeply: "Ignorance! ”

He briefly explained the knowledge of crush syndrome.

Then, he looked at Mrs. Matsubara with pretended emotion:

"Mrs. Matsubara."

"The deceased must have had symptoms of paleness, shortness of breath, and chills in his limbs before his death, right?"

"Among them, it is a sign that crush syndrome has progressed to a severe level, and it is necessary to send it to the hospital immediately for treatment."

"Yes, yes," Lady Matsubara, nodded sneeringly.

And under Lin Xinyi's "seductive" gaze, a look of guilt and sadness quickly appeared on her face:

"When Kenichi went out to buy wine in the afternoon, his face was already white and scary."

"I asked Kenichi if he wanted to go to the hospital..."

"But the kid said he was fine, and I didn't know anything about crush syndrome, so I went with him."

"It's—'s all my fault," said Mrs. Matsubara sadly, "If I had cared more for him at the time, Kenichi wouldn't have died." ”

"Mrs. Matsubara...", Mao Lilan sympathetically supported Mrs. Matsubara's crumbling body, "Don't be too upset. ”

"You don't know anything about crush syndrome, and it's not your fault."

"No—"

Lin Xinyi's voice suddenly turned cold:

"That's her fault."

"Mrs. Matsubara, don't you really know about crush syndrome?!"

"......" Lady Matsubara's face suddenly froze.

Everyone present, especially Mao Lilan, who was full of sympathy written on his face, was even more shocked:

"Mr. Lin, you, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean... Mrs. Matsubara knew about crush syndrome in advance, but she didn't let Mr. Kenichi go to the hospital for treatment? ”

"That's right, but Mrs. Matsubara did more than just not send her son to the hospital."

Lin Xinyi shook his head, his eyes became sharper:

As soon as he entered the door, he completely put the black cauldron on Matsumoto's head, in order to make Mrs. Matsubara think that his plan had succeeded, so as to let her guard down.

After trying to say it again, Mrs. Matsubara said that she had seen the deceased show symptoms before her death, in order to prove that Matsumoto was guilty of manslaughter.

Moreover, he also told the lie that he "didn't know about crush syndrome".

But the truth is...

"The colleagues in the search section have already found the records of Mrs. Matsubara's previous two hospitalizations and contacted her attending physician at the time."

"According to the doctor, Mrs. Matsubara was hospitalized twice in a coma due to serious injuries caused by domestic violence, and both developed symptoms of crush syndrome during her hospitalization."

"And he also explained her condition to Mrs. Matsubara himself."

"So, as a patient with crush syndrome, it is impossible for Mrs. Matsubara not to know about it."

Lin Xinyi told this cold truth.

And Mrs. Matsubara's face changed for a while, and her eyes were full of emptiness.

Everyone was a little stunned by such news, and Lin Xinyi took advantage of the victory to tell in pursuit:

"And through the autopsy, we found that the deceased not only had blunt force injuries left by domestic violence, but also crush injuries caused by prolonged pressure from heavy objects."

"This second type of crush injury was apparently left behind by someone who understood the mechanism of action of crush syndrome, in order to aggravate the deceased's condition and push him to a dead end."

"And Mrs. Matsubara..."

Lin Xinyi looked at Mrs. Matsubara coldly:

"My colleagues also happened to be in the pharmacy near your home and investigated your purchase record of the sleeping drug 'flunitrazepam'."

"Judging from the doctor's prescription you provided at the time from the pharmacy—"

"The doctor's prescription you bought the medicine was forged without permission!"

"So, can you explain..."

He pressed step by step, and his tone became more and more stern:

"Why are you faking prescriptions to buy potent sleeping pills?"

"You know the knowledge of crush syndrome, why did you just say you didn't know?"

"You saw that the deceased had symptoms of crush syndrome before his death, why didn't you take him to the hospital?!"

This series of question marks, like cannonballs, blasted the opponent's originally solid psychological barrier to the ground.

Madame Matsubara's expression was so panicked that she couldn't even say a complete sentence: "I, I..."

"Let me help you—"

Lin Xin said word by word:

"Although the results of the blood test have not yet come out, I think there is a high probability that the residual sleeping pill 'flunitrazepam' can be detected in the blood of the deceased."

"Because this is the medicine you bought specifically to kill this poor man, Madame Matsubara."

"You gave the deceased sleeping pills, and while he was asleep, you continued to squeeze his arm with a heavy object."

"You used this method to secretly aggravate the deceased's condition, and did not let him go to the hospital, he will naturally die as you imagined!"

The atmosphere in the office became eerie.

Maolilan's eyes widened, and his pure eyes were full of disbelief.

Belmode, on the other hand, glanced at Madame Matsubara with some surprise:

This woman was just completely acting?

Even she can deceive her, such acting skills... It's no problem to win an Oscar.

But is that sadness really played?

It feels like it's real.

Or did she kill someone, but she still grieved after the killing?

Love and hate, could it be because of such emotions...

Belmode mentally made a professional evaluation of Mrs. Matsubara's acting skills.

At this time, Matsumoto Katsu's violent shout broke the strange dead air:

"You, you crazy woman..."

"So you killed my son?"

"Bastard! You, do you want to blame me, let Lao Tzu go to prison, and then divorce and take my house? ”

The knife slashed at himself, and Matsumoto's brain suddenly became easy.

And seeing that her husband is embarrassed to run out and ask for guilt now...

Mrs. Matsubara suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore.

"Hahahaha..."

A smile suddenly appeared on her face, a smile twisted and full of vengeful pleasure:

"Yes, I killed your son!"

"I want you, a cold-blooded and ruthless fellow, to taste the pain of killing your own relatives with your own hands."

"But, I really didn't expect..."

Mrs. Matsubara laughed and laughed, and burst into tears again:

"After knowing that your son died, your first reaction was to open your mouth to ask for money?"

"It's... It's ridiculous. ”

"I thought you still had a little bit of humanity left."

"I didn't expect your heart to be so cold, so cold that the blood of your relatives can't melt."

"In this way, my elaborate revenge has been completely defeated by your shamelessness."

"I—" Matsumoto's face was a little feverish.

And Mao Lilan on the side was already a little stunned when he heard it.

Her personality is so kind that after seeing this unimaginable ugliness, she can't help but break down a little:

"Matsu, Matsubara, what are you talking about..."

"Kenichi-san was really killed by you?!"

"Silly girl, don't think too well of people."

Facing Maorilan's pure, somewhat dazzling gaze, Mrs. Matsubara smiled self-deprecatingly:

"I killed people."

"I saw that his condition seemed to be getting worse these days, and I guessed that he might be suffering from crush syndrome."

"So, last night, I put sleeping pills in his water glass, and while he was asleep, I pressed his arm."

"Kenichi, this guy..."

A wave of hatred welled up in Madame Matsubara's eyes:

"I've always raised him as my own son, but he has failed to live up to my expectations."

"He and his demon father are parasites in this family, 24 years old and still unproductive, and they have to rely on me to work to survive!"

"And when I was seriously injured and hospitalized, he didn't even come to see me, just like his cold-blooded father..."

Cowardice, no gain, but the sin of the dead.

Mrs. Matsubara began to resent the child, who had achieved nothing, and gradually regarded him as a burden.

In the process of hospitalization, his "cold-blooded performance" of not coming to the hospital to visit his adoptive mother became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Mrs. Matsubara thoroughly hated Kenichi.

"Haha..."

There was sadness in her voice, but more than that, madness:

"Do I owe them father and son in my last life?"

"They've sucked enough of my blood, it's time to pay it back!"

Mrs. Matsubara gave hysterical vent to her long-suppressed hatred.

And now that this case has developed, the truth has been revealed.

"It's over..."Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.

He knew he had brought justice to the dead.

It may be a victory, but it's too heavy to be happy.

And just when Lin Xinyi was about to stand up and officially draw an end to this tragedy...

"The blood test report from the research department has come out."

A police officer arrived from outside the door and handed over a report.

Lin Xinyi took the report casually, stood aside, and looked at it casually.

The case was solved, and he knew that the blood test results should not deviate from his previous guesses.

"The potassium concentration in the blood is exceeded."

"Myoglobin exceeded."

"Sure enough, it's all the same as I thought..."

Lin Xinyi looked at it, and his face suddenly changed:

"Wait, this..."

"What's wrong?" Asai Narumi beside him was puzzled and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"No, no..."

Lin Xinyi's expression was a little shocked:

"The deceased's blood samples did not contain any sleeping pills."
