Chapter 98: Protecting the Site
A group of people drove into the scene of the crime, the "Hell Pavilion" of the Rice Flower Art Museum.
In the exhibition hall, the deceased boss Manaka still maintains the appearance of the first person he was found:
His body was suspended in the air, his feet were on the ground, and his whole person was firmly nailed to the wall by a sharp Western sword.
The sword pierced his throat.
Blood spurting from the carotid artery stained the entire wall behind him.
This bloody, cruel, terrifying, bizarre, and "artistic" scene attracted a large number of citizens who originally came to visit the art museum.
The director of the Rice Flower Art Museum and several employees worked hard to maintain order, but the scene still seemed disturbing and noisy.
"This..."Lin Xinyi couldn't help frowning.
Mao Lilan reacted quickly, and in connection with the lessons she had learned during the day, she understood Lin Xinyi's thoughts:
"Before the criminal investigators arrived, the scene had already been entered by a large number of unrelated people."
"There are many traces at the scene and the physical evidence is suspicious, so we should be more cautious to confirm the identity of the traces and the authenticity of the physical evidence, right?"
"Hmm." Lin Xin nodded.
Maolilan's perception is very good, but so far, this understanding has only been expressed in endorsements.
If you want to truly become a criminal investigation master, you have to go through actual combat training.
Thinking of this, he no longer procrastinated, but directly arranged the division of labor this time:
"The on-site protection team is responsible for cordoning off the scene and removing unrelated personnel."
"The on-site interview team went to find the informant, witnesses and museum staff to make a record of the on-site investigation."
"Mobile Supplement Group, there are cameras in this exhibition hall, you go and adjust the surveillance video of this exhibition hall."
"On-site survey team, come to me, and I'll divide your respective survey areas for you."
Lin Xinyi arranged in an orderly manner.
And he only looks skilled on the surface, but in fact he is a complete novice.
After all, the on-site commander-in-chief, he really hasn't done it before...
With his previous rank and ability, to be honest, he is still a bit unqualified to be the commander-in-chief.
But in this kind of world where the level of police is abnormally low, a small character like Lin Xinyi has become an expert.
Alas... Although the feeling of being in command is very refreshing, it is still the same as before, and it is more worry-free to have old-timers lead the team and work with professionals.
Lin Xinyi sighed slightly in his heart.
He arranged the division of labor like the old-timers, and then he restrained his emotions and looked at his students:
"Miss Maori, you follow the on-site protection team first."
"Demarcate the scope of protection, cordon off the scene, and invite all unrelated personnel outside the blockade line."
"When the site is protected, we will go in and investigate."
These tasks are not too difficult, but following them up will also help Maolilan's overall grasp of the criminal investigation process.
Although the main job of the medical examiner is only to perform an autopsy - strictly speaking, the forensic doctor is actually a tool person who can provide the autopsy report, and does not need to be involved in the whole process of solving the case.
However, in actual work, due to the limited police force, insufficient manpower, and the idea of brainstorming and democratic centralization in handling cases...
In fact, forensic doctors are often involved in all aspects of the case, even in the process of specific reasoning and detection.
Over time, Lin Xinyi also learned trace detection, reasoning, and criminal profiling, and became an all-round player.
Now it is rare to meet a good student with an active attitude and serious study, and Lin Xinyi also wants to train her into such an all-round forensic doctor.
The more she will get, the less pressure Lin Xinyi's work will be in the future.
"By the way, let's put on shoe covers and hair covers as soon as possible."
"The site that has been disturbed can no longer be polluted by us."
Lin Xinyi deliberately added.
The forensic investigation equipment he had asked the forensic division to procure had not yet arrived, but at least, some of the most common equipment was quickly ready.
In the past, the police only wore gloves when investigating the scene, but now that Lin Xinyi is ready to be this management officer seriously, he simply set the rules stricter.
Before entering the crime scene, the mouth and nose must be covered with a mask, the hair must be covered with a hair cover, and the shoes must be covered with shoe covers.
If you are wearing long pants, the trouser legs must also be tucked into the socks.
This is to prevent the surveyor's own saliva, hair, footprints and sweat from contaminating the site, and to minimize the risk of damage to the site.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand."
Maolilan nodded, and soon joined the officers of the on-site protection team.
They changed their equipment, confirmed the scope of the survey together, pulled up the blockade, and invited unrelated personnel out one by one.
Some people like to watch the excitement and not leave, and after Mao Lilan smiled and performed a special function of playing the wind with his empty hands, he also obediently left by himself.
Worthy of Miss Maorilan.
She has always been so efficient and professional when it comes to locking down the scene.
Lin Xinyi was sighing in his heart.
Maolilan, on the other hand, is very careful and meticulous in protecting the site to the last step:
"Conan, you have to go out too."
"Huh, hey?" Conan's expression froze.
Yes, the schoolboy followed.
He is like Xiaolan's follower now, wherever Xiaolan goes, he will follow him stubbornly.
And Lin Xinyi actually didn't agree with him coming.
After all, Conan is sensitive, and if he can, it's best not to appear at this kind of murder scene that doesn't match his "age".
But it's okay if Lin Xinyi doesn't object, as soon as he opposes...
Conan was as anxious as he heard the tiger asking his sheep to go for a walk with him.
And he followed to the scene, and when he saw the strange death of the corpse, he instinctively entered that detective-like state of concentration.
It's just that this time, Conan's "Detective Mode" was interrupted as soon as it was turned on.
It was his sister Xiaolan who interrupted him:
"How can a child wander around such an important crime scene?"
"Conan, you go somewhere else first!"
"I... Don't! Conan was slightly stunned, and then squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I also want to be with Sister Xiaolan and watch Lin Xinyi... Eh, the new brother is investigating the case! ā
"No way!" Maoliran refused very decisively.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Conan running around the scene of the crime, anyway, as long as the kid wasn't afraid of corpses.
But now, after learning the basics of site surveys, Maolilan has taken the protection of the site very seriously.
Every trace in the scene may be an important clue to solve the case, how can it be done to let a bear child who is not light or heavy swaying in it?
"Investigation is an adult's business, children should not be involved."
Saying that, Conan can't help but be coquettish again...
Mao Lilan picked it up and sent it out directly.
"Don't!" Conan was dancing and struggling in the air.
"Obedient, Conan!"
"Sister Xiaolan, I have something to do, and I can't stay with you all the time."
"If you don't obey all the time, you'll make adults angry."
Thinking of Conan's "bear child" performance, which has been stubborn and clinging since she went to training in the morning, she accentuated her tone slightly.
"Iā" Conan was speechless.
And Maolilan put Conan outside the blockade and showed a warm smile:
"It's good that I and your new brother are here, you can play by yourself first."
"Good boy~ When the case is solved, I'll take you home again."
She bent down and touched Conan's head, then left him behind and turned to walk towards the center of the scene.
"......" Conan's expression was extremely subtle.
The scene just now, he always felt inexplicably familiar.
Of course it's familiar - because every time he encountered a murder before, he left Xiaolan like this.
Now Xiaolan at least comforted him a few words, and before the great detective Kudo, many times, he simply slipped away without looking back.
It turns out that this is how Xiaolan usually feels...
Conan's heart inexplicably welled up with a deep guilt.
It seems that he really took the case too seriously before, so heavy that he even ignored the people he cherished the most.
To change, I had to change.
Conan lowered his head, reflecting on his past mistakes with a heavy heart.
Extremely rarely, at the scene of the murder, he didn't even think about the murder.
He thought about it for a while, and then...
"Report, Forest Officer!"
According to the scientific division of labor, after carefully dividing their respective investigation areas, the police officers of the on-site investigation team finally no longer missed it:
"We found a ballpoint pen on the spot!"
"We found a note on our side that seems to have been written by the deceased!"
"What?!" Conan reacted faster than all the cops present.
It's like a smoker smelling smoke, and an alcoholic smelling wine, Conan couldn't help but raise his head:
"Ballpoint pen? Note? ā
"What's on the note?!"
