Chapter 55: Lin Xinyi Lost?

"Why did you invite two hairy boys over, and your Metropolitan Police Department is still finished?"

"If you can't solve the case, leave quickly, don't delay everyone's time!"

It seems that he has hemorrhoids after sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, and the old man Seba is very angry now.

As soon as he saw Lin Xinyi and Kudo, the two foreign aides who had just been invited, he squirted with an impatient look on his face:

"If you think about it, you should know that the people who come to my banquet are all people with heads and faces."

"Can people like us be murderers?"

"The real murderer probably fled a long time ago!"

Sewa Zunde scolded him eloquently, and then threatened with an unhappy face:

"Dusk Police, our time is precious, if we continue to delay like this... Don't blame me for calling the police chief afterwards to complain. ”

"Uhh

Indeed, in addition to the housekeepers and servants of this villa, the people who are now locked up here are all famous and surnamed capital elites, chaebol high-ranking and celebrities.

If it really causes their dissatisfaction, the average little policeman really can't bear the consequences.

Even the Twilight Police Department has to be careful when talking to them while sticking to their principles as police officers.

"Mr. Sentoku Seha..."

The Twilight Police Department was preparing to persuade him to say a few more words.

But Kudo Shinichi on the side raised the corners of his mouth, and rushed to say with a gun and a stick:

"Don't worry, Mr. Seha."

"With me, this case will be solved in a few minutes."

"You..."Sewa Sontoku looked at Kudo Shinichi carefully, and finally remembered that he had seen him at Suzuki's house: "You are the one the other day... That self-proclaimed detective imp? ”

"That's right." Kudo Shinichi smiled meaningfully, "Please wait a moment, I promise to find out the murderer." ”

"How long?" Sewa Sontoku hid his nervousness with impatience.

"Soon." Kudo Shinichi replied in a playful tone:

For him, there is no suspense in this case.

This Mr. Sewa Sontoku pretended that his leg injury had not healed, and it was clear that he wanted to use this disability to deceive the eyes of the police, so as to rule out his murder suspicion.

Then he just needs to figure out the modus operandi, and then expose the lie that the old man pretends to be disabled in public.

Strictly speaking, this can't be regarded as hardcore evidence, at most it can only prove that he is the most suspected of murder.

If the murderer insists on holding on to his death, and then finds a good lawyer, he may be acquitted.

But... These aren't actually the problems:

Because according to the routine, as long as the murder method is exposed by the detective in public, even if a complete chain of evidence is not formed, the murderer will basically confess directly because of a psychological breakdown.

Like the one I met at the tram stop at noon, the murderer who gritted his teeth until the end and never let go of his mouth without seeing evidence is extremely rare in this world and does not learn.

"Next, as long as you look at the secret room method, you can solve the case."

"But... This should be very boring. ”

Shinichi Kudo thought with little interest.

Even if he hadn't seen it yet, he could have foreseen that this secret room technique must be very simple.

After all, Mr. Seba's main point is to pretend to be disabled, and he doesn't need to spend too much effort on the layout of the secret room, as long as he comes up with a simple trick that makes people believe that "this must be done by a healthy person".

It's boring...

Shinichi Kudo has already figured out how to expose the murderer.

But he didn't do it directly, but set his sights on Lin Xinyi:

"How will he solve the case?"

Kudo Shinichi didn't compete with Lin Shinichi for fame.

Compared with achieving a meaningless victory through "cheating", he wants to see what method Lin Xinyi will use to break the game.

At this time, I saw Lin Xinyi ask in an orderly manner:

"Mr. Seba, did the guests in the villa get together immediately after the incident, or did someone not show up during this time?"

Sewa Sonde frowned, and replied impatiently:

"At that time, everyone in the villa rushed over according to the gunshots, and no one acted alone."

"So I said, the real murderer must have run away a long time ago, how could he be in us people?"

Saying that, he also emphasized:

"I was using the bathroom in my bedroom."

"After hearing the gunshots, I quickly packed up and left the room and asked the maid to take me to the scene."

"And I was only in the room for two or three minutes, as my servants and guests can attest."

Sentoku pretended to be disabled so that he would not be suspected.

But the problem with this technique is that once someone starts to suspect it, it is very easy to debunk.

So, in order to minimize the possibility of yourself being noticed by "spending too much time alone"...

Sewa Sontoku quickly changed back to his disguise after killing someone, and quickly appeared in front of everyone like a nobody.

Now he is particularly emphasizing this point, also to make Lin Xinyi believe:

He can't be a murderer, and neither can anyone else, the real murderers have already run away, and investigating them is in vain.

But Lin Xinyi didn't fall for it so easily.

He just kept the details of the question in mind, and then turned directly to the Twilight Police Department and said:

"The Dusk Police Department, you should have done all the smoke reaction tests of the suspects at the scene, right?"

The case was a shooting homicide.

When a firearm is fired, the air mass escaping from the muzzle and the end of the barrel will inevitably contain soot composed of gunpowder particles and metal powder.

The shooting residue will get on the killer during the splash process, and it will be possible to remove it by repeated cleaning.

Simply replacing the nitrate in the shooting residue with a metal compound that is more reactive than nitrate can produce a noticeable color change – this is the gunsmoke reaction.

Through this simple smoke response, it is possible to confirm who among the people present has fired a gun in the recent period.

But unfortunately, this case is not that simple.

Otherwise, the Twilight Police Department would not need to call for help:

"The smoke test has been doneβ€”"

"For the sake of caution, we didn't miss even Mr. Sentoku Seba, who injured his right leg."

"But unfortunately, the result of the test was that no shooting residue was found on the hands of all those present."

Officer Twilight said helplessly with a headache.

"Hmph..."Sentoku snickered in his heart:

Want to catch him with a gunpowder reaction? How can it be so easy!

He dared to commit a crime in his own home, so he was naturally prepared.

He wore gloves and a mask when he killed people, and he wrapped himself tightly in his clothes.

The remnants of the shooting were blocked by gloves, masks and clothing.

When he returned to the room after killing people, he immediately threw away his gloves, lost his mask, and changed his clothes, and his body became "clean", and he was not afraid of being investigated at all.

"I only know how to investigate in a stupid way, just like those useless police..."

"It seems that this kid who was invited here is not very powerful!"

Thinking of this, Sewa Zunde suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

And he thought so in his heart, and said meanly:

"Look! I've done all the gunsmoke reactions. ”

"Since everyone is fine, why doesn't your Metropolitan Police Department release people?"

"You..."Lin Xinyi frowned slightly: "It seems that you don't want us to continue to stay here to investigate?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."Sentoku coughed.

He vaguely avoided Lin Xinyi's slightly suspicious gaze, and said inwardly:

"I just think you're looking for something!"

"It's been a long time since we found out, isn't it because the murderer is not between us at all?"

"Maybe..."

Lin Xinyi replied noncommittally.

But his gaze was still so firm, so firm that it made Se Yu feel a little weak:

"Let's go, let's go to the scene again."

"What the specific conclusion is, we have to wait for me to see the scene."

With that, Lin Xinyi ignored Sewa Zunde and continued to walk towards the guest room where the murder had occurred.

The Dusk Police Department, as well as a group of police officers, suddenly followed like stars holding the moon.

And looking at their backs as they went to the scene, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be interested:

"The smoke reaction didn't work..."

"Just by examining the body, can he really find out Senba Sontoku from the suspects?"

He decided not to talk about his discovery for the time being, and see how Lin Xinyi would break the game.

In this way, Kudo Shinichi also hurriedly followed.

Soon, the group came to the room on the third floor where the murder occurred.

Manager Yamazaki's body collapsed on the cold floor, his face full of pain and horror as he clutched his gunshot wound to his chest before he died.

"Mr. Lin, gloves!"

Before Lin Xinyi could speak this time, Komatsu had already handed over two pairs of gloves with a respectful face.

He already knew that Lin Xinyi was very likely to become his boss, and he was much more serious than before.

"Well, you can help me keep track of the contents of the corpse table."

Lin Xinyi took the gloves and put them on without hesitation, then walked to the corpse and squatted down, and began to examine it seriously.

Zombie, corpse spots, corpse temperature, head and face, neck, chest, abdomen...

It didn't take long for him to examine all the bodies of the deceased.

And Komatsu also helped with the inspection, and carefully recorded everything Lin Xinyi said.

"That's... Brother Lin? ”

"Did you find anything?"

Seeing that Lin Xinyi had finished checking, the Twilight Police Department immediately asked impatiently.

According to his previous knowledge, after examining the corpse, Lin Xinyi should have raised his sharp eyes and told the truth that had been covered up in front of everyone.

However, this time, Lin Xinyi just said simply:

"The deceased's left chest was 6.0 cm from the anterior midline and 2.0 cm below the left breast. Other than this, no visible injuries were found on the body. ”

"It can be seen that the deceased did die from a shooting before his death."

"Well, so..."The Twilight Police Department looked forward for a while, but Lin Xin didn't speak again for half a day.

"What about down there?" He finally asked, uncontrollably.

"Nope." Lin Xinyi replied.

"That's it?" Officer Twilight's expression was subtle.

"That's it." Lin Xinyi replied very calmly.

The air fell silent.

The police officers, who originally wanted to see with their own eyes how powerful this future forest management officer really were, all looked stunned.

And Shinichi Kudo was equally shocked:

After reading the corpse, I only said such a little conclusion... Did this case really stump Lin Xinyi?

"That's... That's how I won? ”

Shinichi Kudo found himself seemingly on his first victory.

Win is win, but...

It's like a stick hitting a soldier of a certain country who illegally crosses the border, and without much force on this side, the other side is already crushed...

"It's too easy, isn't it..."

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt empty.
