Chapter 27: The Cunning Murderer
Under Lin Xinyi's step-by-step pressure, Ishikawa's psychological defense line completely collapsed.
This unusual "detective" is not reasoning, but laying out the evidence step by step.
And in the face of this steely evidence, quibbling is completely powerless.
But Ishikawa was still not reconciled.
He is obviously only one step away from getting rid of his crimes, how can he fall here:
"No... No... I'm innocent!"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the mall to check the surveillance-"
As if suddenly thinking of something, Ishikawa grabbed this last straw:
"The surveillance didn't even capture me and Aoki entering the mall!"
"Since you said that Uchida was killed by me and thrown down the stairs, then you should explain..."
"How did I get the body to the roof of the department store without even being captured by the surveillance?"
Ishikawa asked hysterically.
This is his carefully planned trick and his last hole card.
He worked hard to set up such a murderous trick, and if he wanted to catch him, how could the other party solve this riddle?
Ishikawa has always thought so.
However, in the face of his questioning, Lin Xinyi smiled disdainfully:
"Heh... Playing this little trick and still making people explain? ā
"I've read too many detective novels!"
"In reality, the more complex the method of killing, the easier it is to leave traces."
Years of work experience have made Lin Xinyi know that the most difficult cases to investigate in reality are often the kind of murder cases with extremely simple methods:
The murderer and the deceased did not know each other, and for some reason they went up and stabbed him, turned around and ran away.
If there is no monitoring at the scene, this kind of case will make the investigators' scalp tingle even more.
As for the fools who claim to be smart, painstakingly try their best to create an alibi for themselves, not only do they not run away after killing people, but also pretend to be okay to stay at the scene...
Nine out of ten were in prison, and the remaining one was shot.
And in Lin Xinyi's eyes, Ishikawa is even more of a fool among fools:
"You only think of confusing the investigator's eyes with blindfolds, but you don't think about how to deal with the eyes of science."
"Let me explain your modus operandi?"
"Why do I need an explanation?"
Lin Xinyi smiled disdainfully:
"The deceased proved to have died as a result of homicide, and by measuring the temperature of the corpse, it can further confirm the true time of his death."
"The deceased has your dander in his fingernails, and you still have scratches left by the deceased."
"What's more, I'm afraid you won't be able to show your alibi at the time of the deceased's real death, right?"
"So... Now it's you who need to explain! ā
The cause of death can be determined, the time of death can be determined, and the DNA of the murderer can be determined by dander.
And Ishikawa can only show his alibi at the time of "Uchida's suicide", but he can't show his alibi at the time of Uchida's real death.
A complete chain of evidence has been formed.
There is no need to know the method of murder at all, and it is enough to convict Ishikawa.
"How, how can this be..."
"I don't even have the right tricks."
Ishikawa fell into complete despair, and collapsed:
This is a trick he came up with after watching 1,000 episodes of "The Left Text of the Great Detective"...
How can you just take me down without going through the process and not even cracking the murder method?
It's not a matter of learning!
And then again, although Lin Shinichi regarded him as a fool among fools, Ishikawa actually thought it very shrewdly.
Because the number of forensic doctors is very small, and the family members generally feel that the deceased is large and resist the autopsy, the autopsy rate of unnatural deaths has been less than 12% for many years.
In other words, as long as you know some professional knowledge and put some effort into disguising the murder scene as a suicide, the murderer has a 90% chance of directly escaping the investigation.
And that's the real world data.
In a world where the Metropolitan Police Department's capabilities are infinitely weakened, the coroner's lack of presence makes it even more likely to succeed in faking suicide.
A "well-intentioned person" like Ishikawa who not only disguises the suicide scene, but also knows how to forge an alibi...
As long as it's not bad luck to run into a detective, it's too easy to fool the past.
And this time, he was extremely unlucky to meet Detective Shinichi Kudo.
But what Ishikawa never expected was that the detective he had guarded against it didn't pull him out, but a strange man staring at the corpse in a daze gave him a fatal blow.
Ishikawa simply could not accept this unexpected situation:
"No, no... I'm not a murderer..."
"Detective Kudo Shinichi has confirmed that Uchida died by suicide!"
"Heisei Holmes said so... Uchida: He must be committing suicide! ā
Ishikawa roared hysterically.
It seems that the "affirmation" from the detective can still make him turn the tables in such a desperate situation.
"Hey, hey..."
"Don't get involved with me when the dog jumps over the wall..."
Kudo Shinichi on the side heard it with a big head:
What is called "Kudo Shinichi confirmed that Uchida died by suicide"...
That's me lying to you, okay?
How could I not see such a simple technique!
You're shouting so nonsense... It's going to mislead people about my IQ...
Sure enough, after Ishikawa's yelling, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd of onlookers:
"What? Shinichi Kudo was also there?! ā
The great detective who has been playing soy sauce for a long time has finally been discovered.
But this time, the gaze that shone on him was no longer worship, but a burst of surprise:
"So he didn't see through the truth at all..."
"Detectives also lose to prisoners!"
ā......ā
Hearing these whispers, Kudo Shinichi covered his face helplessly:
Wind criticism is killed, wind criticism is killed!
Kudo Shinichi was a little annoyed, but he was helpless:
Who made him lose this contest completely?
In accordance with his usual investigation method, he started from various clues at the scene of the crime, and used wisdom and imagination to crack the murderer's murder trick step by step.
But Lin Xinyi simply ignored the trick set up by the murderer and directly restored the truth from the corpse.
In the face of such a simple and straightforward investigative method... The murderer's painstaking efforts to set up a blind eye seem to have become a complete joke.
"Alas..."Kudo Shinichi sighed softly, but the desire to challenge Lin Shinichi in his heart was even stronger.
At the same time, the other loser present, Ishikawa, seemed to have finally calmed down.
At this point, he has seen that he will never be able to escape the charge of murder.
But Ishikawa wasn't ready to give up completely.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, the face that had been full of fierceness just now had become full of pain and remorse.
After brewing emotions, the tears in my eyes were about to be squeezed out:
"People... I killed people. ā
"It was I who killed Uchida, and I was afraid of being caught... That's why I came up with this way to camouflage the scene. ā
Ishikawa finally admits to killing himself.
Not only that, but he also threw himself on his knees, covered his cheek with his hand, and cried out in pain:
"It's all about me... IāI shouldn't have bullied Uchida. ā
"Because the police and the principal knew about bullying him before, the school wanted to expel us, and only Uchida's understanding could make us go back to school."
"So, the three of us thought about beating him up and forcing him to write out the understanding."
"I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't... I didn't expect that..."
"My brain was hot, and I hit him too hard, and I killed him..."
Speaking of this, Ishikawa's voice trembled.
His tears overflowed from his eyes, and they were really flowing, and there was no truth in the slightest.
"This bastard..."
"It's a shame not to be an actor."
Lin Xinyi was almost laughed at by Ishikawa again, he had already seen through the tricks of this murderer:
Since the charge of murder can no longer be shaken off, then simply admit the charge.
But at the same time, it is necessary to show obvious remorse in front of the police, and highlight one point -
He "couldn't control it" and "accidentally" killed Uchida.
In this way, the case is not intentional homicide, but manslaughter.
And the sentence is relatively lax, and Ishikawa is a juvenile delinquent, if the nature is finally determined to be manslaughter, this little bastard will not be able to come out of prison for long.
"Don't be delusional!"
Lin Xinyi said in a cold tone:
"Manslaughter, the perpetrator's actions can be conscious, or intentional."
"But most importantly, it must be negligent and negligent in the event that the result of causing the death of another person occurred."
"Ishikawa, ask yourself..."
Every word in his words seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, making Ishikawa's expression, who was acting as devoted, gradually stiffen:
"When you attacked Uchida, did you really not know that you were killing someone?"
