Chapter 2 The Savior of the Japanese Police
Recently.
"Lan, don't you think it's strange?"
Kudo Shinichi jogged behind Xiaolan and said to Xiaolan:
"That Mr. Lin Xinyi dressed like he went to work early in the morning, which is different from everyone else."
Now there are only a few citizens in this riverside park who get up early to exercise.
Everyone wore casual clothes that were loose and easy to exercise, but Lin Xinyi was wearing a formal black suit, which was out of place with the environment.
The suit and leather shoes are too decent, and you can pull it to carry the coffin with sunglasses.
"It's a little weird..."
Xiaolan tilted her head and thought about it, and then suddenly realized:
"I see! Mr. Lin Xinyi should be the kind of corporate public relations clerk. ”
"I've heard that those PR staff sometimes have to spend the whole night with corporate clients before they can get off work, and it's normal for day and night to be reversed."
"And I just smelled it, and he smelled a lot of cigarettes."
"He may have just gotten off work and was so tired that he sat in a nearby park."
"That's kind of an explanation."
Kudo Shinichi nodded noncommittally:
Xiaolan's guess seems reasonable, but it can't explain the problem of Lin Xinyi's legs being soaked with water.
What's more, if he was entertaining customers all night, that Mr. Lin Xinyi should not only have a strong smell of smoke, but also an obvious smell of alcohol.
So Xiaolan's speculation is actually difficult to establish.
"Actually, Lan, if I'm not bad..."
Shinichi Kudo is about to reveal the answer in his heart to Xiaolan.
But Xiaolan suddenly stopped.
She didn't answer Shinichi's words at all, but looked at the river not far away with a blank expression.
"Hey, hey? Xiaolan, do you hear me? ”
Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiaolan's eyes, but Xiaolan's eyes were still so dull, dazed and... Fear.
Shinichi looked at the river with Xiaolan's gaze in confusion:
I saw that under the dim sky of the shallow sun, on the calm river surface where ships came and went...
There was a puddle of scarlet red slowly spreading in the river.
The red color was already a little lighter, and the area was not too large, but it could still dye the rolling waves shockingly.
Finally, a ray of rising sunlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, making the things floating in the blood wave clearly revealed in front of Shinichi and Xiaolan:
"That's..."
"Legs... Hand... There are also broken heads. ”
Kudo Shinichi's complexion changed slightly.
It has been a long time since he debuted as a high school detective, but he has never seen such a shocking picture a few times.
Look at the lumpy objects floating on the river... Obviously, this is a case of extremely cruel corpse mutilation!
"Not good!"
Shinichi Kudo suddenly remembered something.
He covered his ears with one hand and hurriedly covered Xiaolan's eyes with the other.
But Xiaolan's sky-breaking soprano has already gushed out like a Coke with Mentos:
"Ahhhhh!!hh
"There are corpses in the water!"
..........................................................
Ten minutes later.
The scene of the crime has been cordoned off by the police, who rushed to hear the news.
The water searchers also drove small boats and began to salvage the bodies floating on the river.
I have to say that the speed of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's dispatch is absolutely impeccable.
And this time the team was led by a middle-aged policeman wearing a brown suit and a brown hat, with a round figure and a kind face.
He was standing in the cordon, learning about the case from Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, who found the body.
Listening to Kudo Shinichi's name for him, it seems that this fat police officer should be called the Twilight Police Department.
Outside the long cordon, gathered together were the onlookers who had been attracted by the battle.
Lin Xinyi is also here.
Yes, Lin Xinyi, who had just crossed over, couldn't help but come over to watch the excitement.
Watching the excitement is a common hobby of all mankind, and he is no exception.
What's more, out of the professional instinct he had cultivated before, he couldn't help but want to take a look at this murder scene.
"The body has not been fished ashore, and the specific situation is not easy to analyze."
"But since it's a corpse shredding case... That's not going to break. ”
Lin Xinyi looked at the salvage team on the river from afar, and secretly considered in his heart:
The purpose of dismemberment is basically to conceal the identity of the victim, and the murderer in the case of dismemberment usually has a psychological quality and counter-reconnaissance ability beyond that of ordinary criminals.
Finding clues that can point to the victim and the murderer from the highly damaged body parts requires advanced post-mortem skills and meticulous investigation and examination work.
And if the murderer is still proficient in some medical knowledge of dealing with corpse traces, then the autopsy work is even more difficult.
But....
"What does this have to do with me?"
Lin Xinyi, who unconsciously entered overtime mode, suddenly came back to his senses:
"I'm just a passing melon eater now."
"Let's leave the case to the police to solve."
He smiled with a lighthearted smile that didn't matter to him.
But the case itself, especially the corpses floating on the river, still firmly attracted his attention.
At the same time, Officer Twilight in the cordon is also worried about this case:
"The corpse shredding case..."
"It's been a long time since I've encountered a case of such a bad nature, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."
As a veteran Tokyo detective, Officer Twilight is also well aware of the seriousness of the corpse mutilation case.
The masses of the world seem to be lovers of detective literature, and they have an extraordinary passion for paying attention to criminal cases.
If this cruel and vicious case of dismemberment of corpses cannot be solved, they say that the police will probably bow their heads to everyone again in the headlines.
There is a lot of pressure to solve the case, and now Officer Twilight has no clue about the case.
Therefore, he could only habitually turn his inquiring gaze to the familiar high school detective next to him:
"Brother Kudo, what do you think?"
Kudo Shinichi was silent and did not answer, but the confident light in his eyes kept flickering.
At the same time, the onlookers outside the cordon have also issued bursts of exclamations:
"Shinichi Kudo, it's the famous Shinichi Kudo!"
"Great... It seems that the case will be brought to a conclusion soon. ”
There was a lot of noise in the crowd.
Looking at that scene, I didn't know and thought it was a fan who happened to meet some superstar on the road.
But... This is the scene of the crime, the bloody scene of the crime.
The corpse next to it can still be so excited, is the heart of these onlookers a little too big...
Lin Xinyi slandered in his heart:
He has been to so many scenes, and he has never seen this kind of situation that can turn the scene of a crime into a star-chasing club.
"That's... Who the hell is Shinichi Kudo? ”
Lin Xinyi finally couldn't hold back and whispered to the onlookers beside him.
And those fanatical fans looked at him even more surprised:
"Shinichi Kudo doesn't even know?"
"Then haven't you heard of the title 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era'?"
"No..." Lin Xinyi shook his head.
"No?"
The crowd of onlookers was as shocked as if they heard that there are still people in the 21st century who do not believe that the earth is round:
"No... Don't you usually read newspapers? ”
"The savior of the police, you should have heard of this name, right?"
"Huh?" Lin Xin was surprised.
As a colleague, even if he doesn't plan to do this tiring job again after the crossing, this profession is an ideal he has never regretted.
Therefore, he could not imagine that the word "police" could be followed by the word "savior".
Savior Savior...
"I said that the police have a lot of food..."
"You want a high school student to come to the rescue?"
Couldn't hold back, Lin Xinyi blurted out the thoughts in his heart.
The scene suddenly became a little quiet.
Especially the police officers who are busy in the cordon.
They all froze, their faces were ugly, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, but they never made a sound.
Lin Xinyi can read such facial expressions, and when he was a child, he was reprimanded by his mother for his poor academic performance-
Although it is embarrassing and shameful to be scolded, food is a dish, and food is the original sin, and you can only endure being scolded.
The savior of the police, this title is an honor on Kudo Shinichi, but it is a big scar on the police.
Those young and vigorous policemen all looked a little helpless because of Lin Xinyi's mockery.
Only Officer Twilight, who is accustomed to strong winds and waves, can still maintain his composure:
"Ahem..."
"If you can handle the case well, you can do it."
"No matter who solves the case, it is our police's duty to let the truth come out."
Officer Twilight calmly admitted the embarrassing fact that the police needed off-site assistance at the moment.
Then, without evasion, he once again turned his gaze to Kudo Shinichi on the side.
"Officer Twilight."
The famous high school detective finally came back to his senses from his contemplation:
"The body has not yet been fished ashore, and it is difficult to judge the specific situation."
"It's also... Then let's wait. ”
Officer Twilight nodded, he didn't expect Shinichi Kudo to deduce any earth-shattering truth with such limited clues.
However, at this moment, Kudo Shinichi changed his words again:
"However, I already have preliminary inferences about the suspect in this case."
"What?"
Officer Twilight was shocked.
Lin Xinyi was also shocked:
Lock on the suspect in the corpse shredding case without even looking at the corpse?
Should this kid be said to be like a god and wise, or is he talking nonsense and arrogant?
As a former forensic criminal police officer who relies on actual evidence to speak, Lin Xinyi is actually biased towards the latter.
However, I only heard Kudo Shinichi break out another earth-shattering news:
"And the suspect is still at the scene!"
"Right on the spot?!"
The onlookers were also shocked.
They looked at each other warily and distanced themselves from each other, fearing that the terrible murderer was standing beside them.
And Lin Xinyi couldn't help but secretly look forward to how this big Kudo Shinichi would get the so-called suspect out of the crowd.
And then, in his expectant gaze...
I saw Kudo Shinichi in Xiaolan's unconsciously admiring gaze, putting a handsome pose in his pocket with one hand, and pointing straight at a man in the crowd with the other:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi."
"Please come over and cooperate with our investigation."
