Chapter 255: Self-harm also has to be learned
"Injury?" Hidehiro Matsui was a little late in response:
The pants he used to disguise his injuries at the beginning, the pants stained with paint and fake blood, were replaced by him as soon as he committed the crime.
And now the wound on his thigh is a real knife wound that he stabbed out with a ruthless heart.
To make your injuries look more like they're real...
Matsui Hidehiro was also very witty and specially held the handle of the knife backwards.
In this way, with the back of the knife facing up and the blade pointing down, the wound looks more like it was stabbed by someone than it was pierced by itself.
By the time the police arrived at the scene, the blood from the wound had already coagulated, making it impossible to tell the difference in the time of injury.
The wound is a real injury, the blood is real blood, and even the blade has been carefully adjusted.
How can this forest manager see the flaws at a glance?
"Mr. Matsui."
Lin Xinyi did not give a direct explanation, but asked meaningfully:
"Say it again, how did you get stabbed by the murderer?"
Matsui Hidehao was slightly stunned, and obediently redescribed it:
"As soon as I entered the door, the guy in the Gomera holster suddenly stabbed me with a knife."
"Before I could react, he stabbed me in the thigh."
"Did the murderer hold a knife in his left hand or in his right hand?" Lin Xinyi asked one more question this time.
"Uhhh
Clearly, he was thinking about the implications of his answers.
And he was still entangled and didn't dare to answer, and Conan, who was on the side, provided evidence very strongly:
"It should be the right hand~"
"When 'Gomera' killed Kamei Producer in front of us, he used his right hand."
"He's right-handed, and when he stabbed Mr. Nagai, he should have used a knife in his right hand!"
"Okay."
Lin Xinyi followed Conan's words:
"Since the murderer is holding a knife in his right hand, he is attacking you head-on."
"Then the injuries he caused should most likely be on the left side of your body—"
"How could this knife be stabbed on the outside of your right leg?!"
Why is it pierced on the outside of the thigh...
Of course, because when you use a knife in your right hand to self-harm, it is most convenient to stab the outside of your right leg.
Thinking of this negligence, Matsui Hideo's expression was slightly flustered.
And before he could react, Lin Xinyi continued to say in an orderly manner:
"Imagine how you can use a knife to make a 'stab' motion."
"Actually, to sum up, there are only two basic types of common forms of stab wounds—"
"Over-the-shoulder, and low-handed."
Over-the-shoulder (over-the-shoulder) refers to the way in which the hand is raised over the shoulder to stab.
In layman's terms, it is to "pierce" from top to bottom.
The low-handed pose is a way to stab directly without lifting the stabbing device after holding the arm in the arm.
In layman's terms, it is to "poke" from the bottom up.
The former is mostly from top to bottom, and the latter is mostly bottom-up.
"And Mr. Matsui's wound is strange."
"His stabbing path is almost vertical."
"It's not a 'stab', it's not like a 'stab', it's like someone has 'stabbed' him in the leg."
"So, you can imagine..."
Lin Xinyi paused slightly, and added:
"The murderer is about the same height as Mr. Matsui - if he can wear the gomera holster that was made for Mr. Matsui, he must be about the same size as Mr. Matsui."
"Let's say we're the murderer, and we're going to attack a target with a knife in our right hand, who has just opened the door and come in, standing in front of us, and who is about the same height as ourselves."
"What strange stance do we need to inflict a vertical stab on the outside of the target's right leg?"
Everyone imagined it according to Lin Xinyi's statement:
Indeed, this is very strange.
If the two are of the same height, if you collide head-on and take advantage of the knife, the knife wound will generally appear in the opponent's chest and abdomen.
If you want to stab straight into the outside of the opponent's right leg, I'm afraid you will have to bend down or even squat down to do it.
"This, this..."
A thin layer of cold sweat oozed from Matsui's forehead:
He casually chose a convenient position and stabbed himself.
Unexpectedly, just the location of a wound could make a professional like Lin Xinyi see so many doorways.
"No, that's still too far-fetched, isn't it?"
In a panic, Matsui Hidehao finally stabilized his position:
"When I was attacked by the murderer, I subconsciously dodged."
"I was stabbed in the thigh by him while dodging, and that's normal!"
He chose to defend himself in this way.
Indeed, the position of the person is constantly changing when dodging, and the location and shape of the wound cannot be inferred according to common sense.
Hideo Matsui made a good excuse for himself.
But Lin Xinyi instead showed a playful expression of "I'm finally waiting for you":
"Fools, fake is fake."
"The harder you try to cover up, the more the flaws will continue to emerge like earthworms in the mud after the rain."
"It's like a so-called celebrity who maintains her superficial brilliance by fighting for orders, making up such a lie just to add to people's laughter."
He coldly extinguished Matsui Hideo's illusions:
"As you said, the positions of you and the murderer are constantly changing in the process of chasing and dodging, and it is not impossible to cause such injuries."
"But if it was stabbed in the course of this violent mutual movement..."
"The shape of the wound will not be as 'regular' as it is now."
When the piercing and extraction of a stab is completed, the position change of the stabbing person and the stabbed person in an instant will directly affect the size and shape of the stabbing wound.
It's like cutting an apple with a knife, if the apple slides off the board when the knife is lowered, it won't be a regular two.
"The most prominent feature is that the wound is elongated and irregular."
"The change of body position will also change the original state of the puncture when the wound is withdrawn, which generally manifests as a 'drag trace' on one side of the wound from the inside to the outside, gradually becoming shallower."
"However, Mr. Matsui, the wound on your leg is unusually clean."
"It's not like I've been stabbed in the middle of a dodge move, it's like..."
Lin Xinyi looked coldly at Hideo Matsui, who was always sitting on the ground:
"It's like you got a knife into it while you were sitting on the ground."
"I..."
Matsui Hideki was speechless.
He didn't expect it at all...
Standing and getting a knife is different from being stabbed while dodging.
Being stabbed during exercise is not the same as being stabbed while meditating.
Self-harm has so much knowledge, no culture, and the knife doesn't know where to go.
Matsui Hidehao's heart was pounding, but Lin Shinichi mercilessly gave him the final blow:
"Also, it's the most ridiculous flaw."
"You didn't even notice it yourself—"
"Look at your pants, Mr. Hidehiro Matsui!"
"I—my pants?"
Matsui Hideho was slightly stunned.
He looked down at his sweatpants:
This is the new pants he quickly put on after committing the crime, there is no fake blood on them, only real blood, how can there be flaws?
"It's the 'hole' in your pants that betrays you."
"You know, because of the mobility of clothing, and the influence of different positions of the human body on the position of clothing-"
"For example, if you raise your arms up, your clothes will move up."
"Therefore, if a person is stabbed while sitting, and when he is stabbed while standing, the position of the 'hole' in the clothing will be very different."
"In the actual inspection work, the puncture marks on the clothing and the wounds on the body surface are often not in the corresponding position."
"This is because after the victim was stabbed, his body was still moving, and his position was still changing."
Lin Xinyi paused slightly.
He looked at Hideo Matsui, who was still sitting on the ground weakly:
"Mr. Matsui, you've been sitting here since you were stabbed, haven't you?"
"yes..."
"My thigh hurts when I move, how can I move..."
Matsui Hideho subconsciously replied two sentences, but his face instantly turned pale and bloodless.
He apparently reacted too:
He claimed to have been stabbed with a knife while standing and dodging.
But in fact, he sat on the ground against the wall before stabbing himself with a knife.
And after being stabbed in the thigh with a knife, because it was really difficult to move, Hidehiro Matsui sat here all the time, and there was no big movement.
So... Until now, the hole in his pants and the wound on his thigh have always corresponded.
"You stand up again and see."
"Look at the hole in your pants when you stand up, will it still be in this position?!"
Lin Xinyi's questioning completely crushed Matsui Hidehao's fantasy:
"Definitely not!"
"Because the wound has already told me that you stabbed yourself in the leg with a knife while you were sitting."
"This is in great conflict with your confession."
"And..."
He slowly paced to Hidehiro Matsui:
"Since the location of the puncture mark in that pants tells me, you haven't made any major moves since you stabbed yourself with a knife."
"Unless you have an accomplice to hide the murder weapon for you."
"Otherwise, the knife you used to stab yourself..."
"It should be hidden right next to you, in these prop boxes!"
Lin Xinyi pointed to the box full of various props and fake knives beside Matsui Hidehao, and said categorically.
Matsui Hideo's psychological defense line was immediately completely defeated.
He didn't expect that the man in front of him would restore the entire process of the crime just by examining his injuries.
Even the posture in which he stabbed himself and the actions he took after the injury were clearly restored.
"I..."
Hidehiro Matsui completely gave up resistance:
"I plead guilty."
"I killed Kamei Producers."
Invisibly, there seemed to be sad music playing.
Hideo Matsui sat down on the ground, his expression depressed, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.
"Because he thinks monster movies are outdated, and he said that no one will watch this kind of childish thing that deceives children in the future..."
"So, that's why Kamei producers are going to disband our crew and completely abandon the Gomera series!"
In this way, he wept bitterly and confessed his crime:
"I... I just want to protect Gomera, who we have been fighting for half our lives, from him! ”
"Enough... Are you guarding? ”
"Look what you're protecting?!"
Lin Xinyi asked the murderer coldly.
And as he spoke, he couldn't help but tell his true thoughts:
"Gomera doesn't need you to protect it."
"It's a memory of generations, and it's not so easy to erase."
"Even in another twenty years, Gomera will always be active on the screen!"
Of course, Ultraman is no different.
Lin Xinyi added firmly in his heart.
