Chapter 282: Attitude in the Face of "Accidents".
The body was found by Miss Heye.
Because she was in an unhappy mood, she went into the deep mountains and dense forests alone, wandering around aimlessly.
A few trees were hammered along the way.
After venting his anger on those poor trees, Yuanshan Kazuye had unconsciously walked to the other end of the dense forest:
Walking out of the deep dense forest, it was about a sparse mud field that stretched out thirty or forty meters long.
At the end of the empty mud floor, behind a slope of earth that jutted out of the ground, was a steep, almost vertical cliff.
The body is not on the cliff, but under the cliff.
Yuan Shan and Ye walked to the edge of the cliff, and when they looked down, they found that there was a corpse lying under the cliff dozens of meters deep.
After meeting with the crowd who had rushed to follow the sound, she recounted the above experience in detail.
And just when Hattori Heiji heard about the discovery of the corpse, he hurriedly wanted to rush to the edge of the cliff and look down at the corpse...
"Wait, be careful!"
Yuanshan and Ye pulled their childhood sweethearts:
"Do you see the bulging dirt slope in front of you..."
"Be careful, if you step on that dirt slope, you will fall to the bottom of the cliff if you take another step forward."
"This..."Hattori paused and observed cautiously:
Indeed, the natural uplift of the soil slope above the ground gives people a visual illusion.
At first glance, after crossing the dirt slope, there will be a road ahead.
But in fact, after the uphill slope, there is no downhill at all, and it is directly a free landing.
If you are too anxious and rush uphill in a hurry, you are likely to accidentally fall off the cliff and become a corpse at the bottom of the cliff.
"And, you see—"
"From the mud from the woods to the dirt slope on the edge of the cliff, there is a series of footprints."
"The footprints stretched from the woods to the edge of the cliff, and it is very likely that the man who fell to his death at the bottom of the cliff left before he fell."
"That's when I saw these footprints, so I curiously leaned over to look at the bottom of the cliff."
Toyama and Ye explained.
Hattori Heiji was slightly stunned:
"There are indeed a series of footprints on the dirt and dirt slopes, but are they not what you left behind?"
"If the victim fell from this position, counting you, then there should be two strings of footprints here!"
"Nope." Yuanshan and Ye shook their heads: "I think it's strange to see footprints in such an inaccessible place, so I deliberately took a detour and looked down from the cliff on the other side." ”
"As for the dirt and dirt slopes, I didn't even step on them."
"Because..."
She scratched her head and said with some embarrassment:
"After seeing you find me, a prisoner, with half a footprint yesterday, I know how important the footprints at the scene are."
"So when I felt strange in my heart just now, I deliberately avoided the series of footprints and kept the scene as it was."
"This..."Hattori Heiji glanced at his childhood friend unexpectedly: "Not bad... And leaves! ”
"Thanks to you, the scene has been perfectly preserved!"
"Hmm...", and Miss Ye was very praised by Hattori Heiji.
However, she is also a little melancholy in her heart:
He dressed up beautifully and took the initiative to talk to him, but he didn't react.
A little effort to protect the scene made this guy so excited and grateful.
Really...
Sure enough, in Pingji's heart, investigating a case is more interesting than falling in love.
What should she do to learn criminal investigation techniques as well?
Yuanshan and Ye couldn't help but have such a strange idea in their hearts.
And she was pondering how to keep a man's heart, but Hattori Heiji was already devoted, and turned her head to discuss the case with Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan:
"Mr. Lin, Miss Maori, what do you think of this case?"
"I think it's probably an accident."
"I think so."
Mao Lilan nodded in agreement:
"That uplifted dirt slope is too dangerous."
"It's hard to think that there is a cliff behind the top of the slope."
"If you don't slow down and run up in a hurry, it's really easy to accidentally fall to the bottom of the cliff."
"And, most importantly, there was only a series of footprints on the dirt slope that led to the top of the slope to the edge of the cliff."
"There was no second person on the dirt slope at the time of the crime."
"Then as long as it is identified that this series of footprints was left by the deceased at the bottom of the cliff, it can basically be determined that the deceased accidentally fell down because he didn't pay attention to the road."
She analyzed the existing clues and made the same judgment as Hattori Heiji.
"Well, for now, it does."
Lin Xinyi did not disagree with the opinions of the two students.
But his attitude is still very cautious:
"It's too early to tell, though."
"Only when we have seen the corpses can we be sure enough."
"Oh?" Both Moriran and Hattori Heiji were a little curious: "Can the forensic doctor still tell whether the deceased fell off the cliff by accident or because of other factors?" ”
"What's this..."
Lin Xinyi's expression was a little hesitant:
To be honest, no.
There is also a limit to the capabilities of forensic doctors.
In particular, this kind of high-fall case in the wilderness makes it even more difficult for forensic doctors.
The corpse that accidentally fell into the cliff is basically no different from the corpse that has been gently pushed up and fallen from behind.
If this is the case, it is difficult to tell by the autopsy.
When Lin Xinyi used to work, he also handled several cases of high falls in mountain scenic spots.
Most of these cases were closed by accident.
The only one that was judged to be his homicide was that the murderer was too careless when pushing people down the mountain, and he happened to be photographed by the camera installed in the scenic spot.
The one that was photographed was a homicide, and those cases that were not captured by the camera can only be judged as accidents based on clues.
Are they accidents or not?
This is very scary to think about.
"If there is no surveillance, no witnesses, and if there are no special traces left on the body, it is difficult for the forensic doctor to make an accurate judgment."
"So, we have to be cautious and cautious in this kind of case."
"You have to try your best to investigate to the last step before you can come to a conclusion."
Lin Xinyi's expression was very serious:
This kind of case is difficult to handle, but it is also "not difficult".
After all, as long as the word "accident" is given as a result, neither the family of the deceased nor the public will have any opinions.
And the field work can be very tiring.
The large amount of police force required to "search the mountains and inspect the sea" alone is enough to make the leader lose his hair.
It's easy to get lazy.
Thinking that even if you make a lot of effort to search in the mountains, there is a high probability that you will not be able to change the conclusion of "accident".
Therefore, it is better to omit the process of proof because of a "obvious" and "easy to obtain" as a reference answer for a math homework.
"We, as the people's police, absolutely cannot have such thoughts."
Lin Shinichi unknowingly used words that both Moriran and Hattori Heiji felt uncomfortable.
But the word "people" has a heavy weight that cannot be replaced by other words.
If you don't have this word in your heart, you will unconsciously develop the bad atmosphere of the Metropolitan Police Department's original corpse vegetarian meal and people floating around.
And under the outrageous atmosphere of the Metropolitan Police Department...
Even the weird murder case of Asai Narumi's family back then could be hastily fooled over as an "accident".
"As a law enforcer, you must be cautious in using the word 'accident'."
"Despite all the hard work, it is possible to come to the wrong conclusion in the end."
"But as long as we do the best we can do our research, we can minimize the probability of us making mistakes."
Lin Xinyi instructed very seriously.
"Hmm... We'll remember it! ”
Both Moriran and Hattori nodded earnestly.
Especially Heiji Hattori.
He had never seen such a heavy power in other police officers before.
It is a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, not only the honor of being loyal to the police profession, but also being loyal to some higher faith.
"This is the real police..."
Unconsciously, Heiji Hattori's impression of the police has completely changed.
He was still reluctant to give up his detective career, but now he quietly has a new goal.
"We will try our best to do our best in every case and find out the truth for the deceased!"
"Good!" Lin Xinyi nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately after that, he arranged the preliminary survey work:
"There's no cell phone signal in the woods, and I've asked my girlfriend to go out and call the police."
The two "girlfriends", one big and one small, went.
The smaller one was reluctant, but the big one was still carried away.
"It won't be long before the police from the scenic police station will be able to arrive."
"You and Miss Mori are here to conduct a preliminary survey of the site, especially to pay attention to the footprints on the dirt slope."
"Gloves, a tape measure, a multi-band light flashlight, these basic equipment can be asked for by Miss Maori."
Since he met Conan, Lin Xinyi has begun to carry these small items with him.
Maorilan was influenced by him and was always ready to fight.
"I'll leave it to you."
"I'll go first and see what is going on with that corpse."
As soon as Lin Xin arranged the survey work, he turned around and left.
"Alas... Wait a minute. ”
Heiji Hattori was a little puzzled:
"The body is still at the bottom of the cliff, Mr. Lin, how can you go to the autopsy?"
"If you want to go down the mountain and go around it again, it will take at least an hour, right?"
"Why don't you stay here and wait for the police force to arrive, and then go down to the bottom of the cliff for an autopsy?"
"No, the autopsy must be done as soon as possible."
"If you go a few minutes late, you might not see any important signs of a corpse."
Lin Xinyi shook his head and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff:
"As for how to get to the bottom of the cliff, I have my own way."
As soon as the words fell...
He spotted the rocks protruding from the vertical cliff, and jumped without hesitation—
The art style is starting to be strange again.
