Chapter 88: A Strange Scene
Kogoro Mori may not remember Shinichi's name.
But it's impossible for Yoko Okino not to remember.
Because, as a youth idol who survives by popularity, tying her to other popular stars, her popularity in the past few days is not as high as Lin Xinyi.
As soon as Lin Xinyi debuted, he even stepped on the two hot figures of Kudo and Kidd, and became a top line that made Yoko Okino a little envious.
"Hello, Officer Lin!" Yoko Okino took the initiative to step forward and shake hands.
"Hello." Lin Xinyi stretched out his hand very politely and shook it lightly.
Maori Kogoro on the side looked sad:
I even asked Miss Yoko to take the initiative to shake hands... Damn, this is a treatment that even I don't have!
By the way, Lin Xinyi, this kid is the young man who was unusually asked by the Metropolitan Police Department to be a management officer.
Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro is even more unhappy:
He had been mixed for so long, and he was old enough to make soy sauce for children, so he got mixed with a patrol minister.
And this kid is so young, he was asked by the Metropolitan Police Department to be a management officer at the same level as a police officer.
Alas... Fortunately, he resigned back then, otherwise he would have to salute when he sees this kid now.
Just like Lin Shinichi was shocked by Miyano Shiho's early wisdom, Maori Kogoro was also in mixed feelings because of Lin Shinichi's youthful ambition.
And his idol, Yoko Okino, can't take into account the emotions of his die-hard fan at the moment.
She is using her skillful social skills to greet Lin Xinyi, who is also a "big star".
And Yoko Okino's agent, Eiichi Yamagishi, the man who had been standing next to him as a background board, suddenly became energetic at this moment:
Seeing that Lin Xinyi, the media darling, was next to him, this overqualified agent was already planning, how to let Yoko Okino take the opportunity to gain a wave of popularity.
Celebrity managers and popular youth idols, wouldn't it be beautiful for the two to have a dream linkage.
As for how this dream linkage should be linked...
The agent, Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi, rolled his eyes and thought about it:
"Supervisor Lin, our Miss Yoko just happened to be in some trouble."
"Since we're all neighbors, could you please help us investigate?"
"Oh?" Lin Xinyi frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Then, he listened carefully:
It turned out that it was Yoko Okino who recently found herself often being followed when she walked on the road. Sometimes when I return home, I will find that the furniture and items in the house have been touched. In addition, there are people who send candid photos and make harassing phone calls.
These things made her deeply disturbed, so she wanted to ask the detective to investigate who the person who had been harassing her like this was.
And Maori Kogoro is the detective who was specially invited by Miss Yoko.
Originally, in her opinion, it was enough to hire such a detective.
But now, as an agent, Eiichi Yamagishi has other ideas:
"Let Managing Officer Lin help catch the criminal who harassed Miss Yoko."
"In this way, the popularity of Miss Yoko and Manager Hayashi combined... Isn't it easy to make headlines? β
The heat that falls from the sky, don't be in vain.
With such a subtle little calculation in his heart, and regardless of the fact that Lin Xinyi had not officially agreed, Yamagishi Eiichi immediately turned back excitedly and said to Yoko Ono:
"Yoko-sama, open the door."
"It just so happens that Managing Officer Lin is also here, let him help take a look."
"Hmm." Yoko Okino was slightly stunned, and then was urged by her agent to take out the key and turn around to open the door.
At this moment, Lin Xinyi suddenly had a bad premonition:
Conan has appeared... Will this case really be a simple stalking case?
He felt uneasy in his heart for no reason.
At this moment, the door opened.
And as soon as this door opens...
"Ahhhh Yoko Okino screamed violently.
I saw that in her home, on the floor of the living room, there seemed to be a bloody corpse.
It was a fat man.
He was lying on the floor with a knife stuck in his back, his clothes and the floor beneath him stained a dark red with blood.
Such a large amount of bleeding, combined with the blood that had already coagulated... This guy is clearly dead.
"This, thisβ" Everyone was frightened by this horrific scene.
"Well, it's really coming."
Lin Xinyi sighed deeply, and his mood was very complicated.
...........................................
After discovering the body, Kogoro Maori dealt with it decisively and called the police at the first time.
And Lin Xinyi also temporarily helped to block the scene, ensuring that before the police arrived, no idlers would be allowed to come in.
Of course, Conan still followed up very restlessly.
When Lin Xinyi entered the scene alone to do a preliminary investigation, he also followed with bright eyes.
"Your sister Xiaolan doesn't care about you."
"Is it appropriate for a little kid to run here?"
Lin Xinyi complained helplessly:
He knew Conan's identity, and the other adults still regarded Conan as a child. Seeing this little ghost running next to such a terrifying corpse, they didn't even stop it.
Conan looked intently at the scene and did not answer.
And Lin Xinyi continued to talk while observing the scene:
"By the way, you haven't told your sister Xiaolan the truth yet?"
"Now everyone thinks of you as Kidd, and if you don't make it clear, Miss Maori will be worried, right?"
Conan finally took his attention away from the crime scene slightly:
"I used the voice changer to change back to Kudo Shinichi's voice, and explained it to Xiaolan on the phone."
"I told her I wasn't blaming Kidd for the thief, but I was out looking into the case and couldn't come back."
"Does she believe it?"
"I should believe it," Conan's tone was not very firm.
"Since you're still not sure, why don't you just explain the situation?"
"Uh... This one... There are various reasons..."
I don't know what kind of picture came to mind, Conan's little face was like an engine that was thundered by the old driver's accelerator, and it was sharply burned.
"Ahem... Anyway, let's not talk about this issue for now. β
"Lin, did you see anything strange from the scene?"
Conan blushed and forcibly changed the subject.
"Yes." Lin Xinyi restrained his smile, and his expression became extremely serious: "There are some very strange places. β
"You should have noticed, Conan?"
"That's right." Conan nodded and said:
"There was a very clear groove in the wooden floor next to the body of the deceased."
"The groove almost matched the shape of the hilt of the deceased's body."
"From the clues I have so far, I can only guess... Someone smashed the hilt of this knife across the floor? β
"Isn't that weird? Whether it's killing someone or doing something else with a knife, it's redundant to do this kind of action, right? β
Conan made a strange discovery.
And Lin Xin nodded and said:
"I can't imagine how such strange traces could have been formed."
"However, in addition, the angle of the knife inserted in the deceased's body is also relatively rare."
The knife was still stuck in the back of the corpse, and the angle of the knife could be seen with the naked eye.
"Generally, the angle of entry of a knife stab is basically an acute angle oblique stab."
"And the angle of this knife is almost perpendicular to the human body."
"If you simulate yourself stabbing someone with a knife, will it be natural to hold the handle of the knife and stab forward from the bottom up?"
"If you put the tip of the knife perpendicular to the human body and stab straight forward, it is very inconvenient to exert force."
"Indeedβ" Conan tried to lay his wrist flat and stabbed straight forward with a non-existent knife.
Sure enough, it was an unnatural feeling that made people feel like they couldn't exert their full strength.
"This happens unless the killer pushes the deceased to the ground and then stabs him from top to bottom."
"Or grab the deceased's shoulders and tilt his back back, and then stab the knife so that the tip of the knife will be at a right angle to the back."
"And in both cases, it shows that the murderer's physique is very strong, which can make the burly deceased easily control him in the fight."
"However, there are no obvious resistance and restraint injuries on the deceased's body."
"So, it's very rare."
The more he analyzed, the more doubts Lin Xinyi had on his face.
But the suspiciousness of this strange case is far from finished:
"Air conditioner, why is the air conditioner in this room at such a high temperature?"
Could it be that it is to influence the changes of the corpse after death and mislead the judgment of the time of death? But the air conditioner was not turned off later, and the indoor temperature could be measured in one measurement, so who could be misled? β
"yes."
Conan chimed in very seriously, "Even if it's winter, the air conditioner can't help but be too hot. β
"Hmm," Lin Xin nodded.
Then, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait... Winter? β
Lin Xinyi suddenly looked at the winter clothes on everyone's bodies.
It was like suddenly unraveling the Moon Reading Illusion, and he was stunned on the spot:
"How did I just notice now..."
"Wasn't it summer before??!"
