Chapter 178: The protagonist of playing soy sauce

"The on-site protection team, with the gate of the villa as the boundary, pulled up the blockade line."

"The on-site visit team went to nearby households and businesses to visit and investigate, and try to find out the situation of this household as much as possible."

"The on-site investigation team, you follow Miss Maori and are responsible for the trace inspection work inside and outside the villa in different areas."

Lin Xinyi was doing on-site command work in an orderly manner.

After a period of training, the officers of the forensic division have improved a lot, at least in terms of organizational discipline and operational efficiency, regardless of their technical level.

They acted separately according to the pre-divided groups, and they already showed a sense of well-trained, professional and efficient in their gestures.

"Miss Maori."

Before dispersing the personnel for investigation, Lin Xinyi also specially instructed Mao Lilan, who was responsible for leading the trace inspection team:

"To identify whether it is a fake scene, the work of trace inspection is the most important."

"Whether there can be a breakthrough in this case depends largely on your performance."

"Well, I..."

Maolilan couldn't help but be a little nervous:

The scene was so badly damaged that she didn't know if she would be able to find valuable clues.

And when she became Lin Xinyi's student, she never thought that she would become the leader of the on-site investigation team who needed to be in charge so quickly.

But it can't be helped... The attitude and understanding of the officers of the forensic division are really limited, and in terms of technical level and professional ability, they are soon surpassed by Miss Maori, a "rookie" who is a half-way monk.

Mao Lilan started out as a junior follower behind Lin Xinyi, and then gradually evolved into his assistant and secretary.

Up to now, because her ability is outstanding enough, she has unknowingly become the leader of the trace inspection team, the de facto head of the investigation department.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders now, Maolilan was a little nervous.

But in the midst of the tension, thanks to the natural sense of justice and responsibility, her gaze gradually became firm:

"Mr. Lin, don't worry..."

"I'm not going to miss a clue!"

She subconsciously stood up straight and gave Lin Xin a military order.

Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly: "Very good, very energetic." ”

Mao Lilan saluted him, turned around and played the role of the commander of the team in a similar manner, leading a group of survey officers to discuss the division of the survey area and the organization of trace inspection work.

And Lin Xin saw Mao Lilan put into work, and said to Asai Chengshi beside him:

"Let's go, let's take care of the on-site autopsy."

"Hmm." Asai nodded.

Then, side by side, the two walked side by side from the watery living room to the bathroom where the body was.

And in this short journey, they have already found that the murderer did not take it away, or rather, he knows that it is meaningless to take away the murder weapon:

"Golf clubs... The clubhead is stained with blood and hair. ”

"This could be the murder weapon that killed the dead."

Carefully picking up the golf club that had fallen near the bathroom, Lin Xinyi judged simply.

"Looks like there are fingerprints on it?"

Narumi Asai took the flashlight he had with him and shone the grip of the golf club from a 45-degree angle.

On the pitch-black grip, a faintly prominent palm print and fingerprints:

"Could it have been left by the murderer?"

"It may or may not be."

Lin Xinyi was not too excited about the discovery of the murder weapon and fingerprints:

"This kind of murder weapon for daily necessities is generally taken from the scene of the crime by the murderer and used in his hand."

"Most of the fingerprints left on it are the fingerprints of this resident, and as for whether the murderer's fingerprints can be found again, it depends on whether he was wearing gloves when he committed the crime."

As he spoke, he handed over the golf club to the police officer of the investigation team for safekeeping, and he walked into the bathroom with Asai Narumi.

In the bathroom, the corpse remained in that kneeling position, lying on the edge of the bathtub.

"Asai, you're in charge of the autopsy."

Lin Xinyi naturally became the shopkeeper.

"Hmm." Asai Narumi responded seriously.

He knew that he was not very familiar with the work of forensic doctors, and he had to train more in actual combat in order to transform from a doctor to a qualified forensic doctor as soon as possible.

So, with the help of Lin Xinyi, he moved the body out of the bathroom and laid it flat on the plastic sheeting.

Then, according to the standard process of corpse examination, Asai Narumi recorded the basic conditions such as the length of the corpse, the corpse spots, the corpse stiffness, and the corpse temperature, and then began to examine the head and face in turn.

The final conclusion was:

"The corpse has not yet appeared in the zombie spots, and it can be speculated that the time of death was within the last 1 hour."

"There were multiple blunt force blows to the parietal bone on the top of the head, the occipital bone at the back of the head, and the right temporal roof."

"The wound rarely peels off the epidermis, and the subcutaneous hemorrhage is severe, and the boundaries are clear."

"The wound margin is relatively straight, there are few interstitial bridges in the wound cavity, the wound is obviously open, and there is a border-like contusion around it."

"The parietal bone of the top of the head that was hit the most severely affected had a deep cavity of the bone layer, and there was an obvious collapsed comminuted fracture."

Narumi Asai methodically talks about his findings.

These days, he uses his medical foundation as a doctor, with a speed far beyond ordinary people, focusing on self-study of forensic pathology, injury science and other professional knowledge.

Using this knowledge, Narumi Asai came to the following conclusions through analysis:

"The characteristics of the wounds of the deceased are basically consistent with the common forms of injuries caused by metal sticks."

"From this, it can be inferred that the golf club with the metal ball head that we just found is the murder weapon that killed the deceased."

"Well, that's a good point." Lin Xinyi nodded in time to encourage him.

And Asai Narumi analyzed the wound through the morphology of the wound, and after confirming the murder weapon, he boldly speculated:

"I think Mr. Lin, your previous speculation may be correct."

"The deceased had multiple blunt force blows to the head, especially the parietal bone, occipital bone and other parts, and there were signs of repeated blows."

"This shows that the murderer was very emotional when he killed the deceased, so he used serious excessive violence and repeatedly smashed the deceased's head many times."

"This is no longer ordinary killing, but more like torture and killing."

To put it simply, the murderer attacked too many times, the strength was too great, and the damage overflowed.

"If it was an impulsive murder caused by a burglary, such a brutal method should not have been used."

Narumi Asai couldn't help but give his own conclusions:

"The murderer must have a grudge against the deceased, or a long-standing grudge."

"When the long-accumulated resentment erupts under impulse, it is only when he is so brutal that he smashes the head of the deceased with a golf club."

The murderer and the deceased have a grudge, so naturally it will not be an occasional burglary and murder.

By analyzing the form of the wound injury, Asai Narumi unconsciously changed his opinion and agreed with Lin Xinyi's view that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime.

But at this time, Lin Xinyi "barred" him in turn:

"Asai, we need to be cautious about our work attitude, and don't use the word 'certain' lightly."

"Like now, you have a point, but it's too early to tell."

"After all, some murderers are brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and even if they meet someone they don't know, they may use excessive violence in the process of killing."

"This..."Narumi Asai's expression became a little subtle:

Didn't you just say that this was an acquaintance who committed the crime?

Why is it that now that I am on your side, you have changed your words?

Asai Narumi had some small opinions, but Lin Xinyi smiled at him:

"In forensic work, you can have a preliminary guess about the facts of the case, but you must not have preconceived ideas."

"Until solid evidence is found, we have to be skeptical of any speculation that seems to be certain."

"After all... Speculation is just speculation after all. ”

Lin Xinyi sighed slightly:

"Whether it's the speculation I made based on my experience in handling the case, or the analysis you made based on the shape of the injury."

"It can only be used as a reference basis for scene restoration and crime profiling, and cannot be used as evidence to prove that this is an acquaintance committing a crime and falsifying the scene."

"Hmm... I understand. ”

Asai Narumi memorized these teachings deeply, and then looked at Lin Shinichi expectantly:

In his opinion, Lin Xinyi is more capable than him, and he will definitely be able to find more clues during the autopsy.

The evidence he couldn't find from the corpse, Lin Xinyi could definitely see it.

Asai Narumi was silently looking forward to it.

However, Lin Xinyi spread his hands at him:

"Don't look at me, you did a great job with the autopsy just now, I have nothing to add."

"Huh?" Asai Narumi was slightly stunned: "Mr. Lin, don't you have any other discoveries?" ”

If even Lin Xinyi, who is the most capable, has no breakthrough discoveries, then wouldn't this case be about to hit a bottleneck?

Thinking of this, Asai Narumi couldn't help but be a little nervous.

But Lin Xinyi rolled his eyes at him helplessly:

"Asai, don't deify me and my profession too much."

"As a forensic doctor, whether I am or you, it's just a part of the criminal investigation process."

"Forensics, examinations, visits, interrogations, identifications, breakthroughs in the case may appear in any part of the process."

"So not every case can have a forensic doctor play the leading role."

In the process of real criminal investigation, there will never be a situation in a detective story where only the protagonist shines and everyone else is overshadowed in solving the case.

This kind of personal heroism will not work in real work.

"We're a team."

"Everybody is the protagonist."

Lin Xinyi very calmly accepted the reality that he might have to play soy sauce in this case:

"Asui, there's no need to be nervous, and there's no need to be disappointed."

"We've done the best we can do in the field."

"The next thing is to see what clues our companions, Miss Maolilan, who is in charge of the trace examination, and other police officers, can investigate."

As he spoke, his voice fell...

Moriran hurried over and came to him and Asai Narumi.

"Mr. Lin!"

The girl who acted as a lonely vase behind the detective not long ago is already extremely capable at the moment:

"I've found evidence that this is a scene that the murderer faked!"
