Chapter 29: Gentle Child
Lin Shinichi's words were the final word, exposing Ishikawa's crimes.
The eyes of everyone present have become different.
Maybe there were still people who regarded this as a good show, as a reasoning performance that the people like to see...
But at this moment, after hearing Lin Xinyi restore the process of the crime in such detail, everyone finally understood the pain of the deceased with empathy and saw the cruelty of the murderer.
"I... I..."
Ishikawa was covered with layers of cold sweat on his forehead.
He knew that his situation was terrible, but there was nothing he could do to excuse himself.
Because Lin Xinyi used evidence to restore the truth exactly at all:
He did kill Uchida, on purpose.
At that time, when Uchida subconsciously struggled to resist and scratched Ishikawa's arm, making him feel pain...
It's like turning on some invisible switch, and his bestiality is completely awakened.
Ishikawa pushed Uchida to the ground like this, stomped on the back of Uchida's neck with his foot, and vented his frenzied abuse to vent the heat in his heart.
And in the process of this cruel abuse, he suddenly found that he felt pleasure.
The feeling of trampling his fellow human beings under his feet and watching the weak die in pain little by little made him feel comfortable all over his body.
yes, if you think about it...
He didn't bully his classmates just for money from the beginning -
Although he has always been reluctant to admit it, in fact, it is because he likes to enjoy the pleasure of abusing the weak, so he will inflict violence on his classmates again and again.
And at this time, at the moment when bullying escalated to abuse and even murder, Ishikawa finally recognized himself.
Yes, he just likes it.
So, uncontrollably, Ishikawa became fascinated.
He decided to kill Uchida like that.
Not because of anger, not because of impulsiveness, just simply feeling... Very interesting.
Therefore, Ishikawa did not show the slightest panic at that time because of Uchida's death.
Not only did he not panic, but he even came up with a trick to help him get rid of his guilt in a short period of time with great calmness.
"That's right... That was the way it was. β
After listening to Lin Shinichi's analysis, Aoki, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at Ishikawa in cringe, and then plucked up the courage to confess:
"At that time, Ishikawa stepped on Uchida's neck for a long time."
"Later, the two of us felt that the situation was not good and tried to persuade him to stop, but Ishikawa glared us back with his eyes."
"And then... It's too late. β
"Ishikawa threatened us to help him disguise the scene, and we always listened to him... Although I was scared, I obediently did it. β
Aoki's confession gave Ishikawa the final blow.
This die-hard, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, finally lowered his head completely at this moment and fell silent.
Lin Xinyi, the police, the masses, everyone is waiting for him to confess.
And just when Ishikawa raised his head again, there was a hideous smile on his face:
"Yes, I killed people, on purpose."
"I knew it would kill him, but I did it anyway... Hahahaha! β
Under the complete self-abandonment, Ishikawa spoke out his crimes so arrogantly and wantonly.
There was not the slightest hint of remorse in his voice, but it was all rampant and happy.
"People! Dregs! β
Maolilan gritted her teeth and let out an angry shout.
She'd been putting up with this bastard for a long time.
As a result, the fist never came out, and Ishikawa's evil deeds escalated step by step.
From bullying to homicide, from homicide to torture, the suffering of the deceased during their lifetime is appalling.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Kudo Shinichi risked his life to stand in front of his childhood sweetheart.
He knew that if he let Xiaolan rush out in his current state...
When the time comes, Ishikawa will sit in a hearse, Xiaolan will take a police car, and their lives will end together.
"Mr. Lin Xinyi?"
"You can help persuade me..."
Kudo couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lin Shinichi for help.
Lin Xinyi didn't speak.
But this time, instead of standing idly by, he was staring at the corpse intently and intently, as if he had found some clue.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi suddenly forgot what he was going to do just now:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, have you found any problems?"
Fortunately, this question also attracted the attention of Maoriran.
She couldn't help but stop her sprint to the edge of the law, turned her head to look at Lin Xinyi, and the anger in her eyes turned into doubt and curiosity.
"It's not a big deal."
"This clue has no effect on the case, it's just..."
After thinking about it, Lin Xinyi finally made his discovery:
"Did you notice?"
"The deceased only had bruises on the outside of his right forearm, and only resistance and restraint injuries on his left forearm."
"This shows that when the deceased was stepped on the ground by Ishikawa, he only used one hand to support the ground and resist."
"It's weird, isn't it?"
Lin Xinyi imitated the movements of the deceased, holding the "ground" with one hand, but idleness with the other:
"If you want to break free from the suppression, you must support the ground with both hands at the same time to exert more power."
"But why did the deceased struggle with one hand instead of two hands at such a life-and-death juncture?"
"What was the deceased's free left hand doing at that time?"
"You're trying to resist Ishikawa with your left hand, aren't you?"
Maoriran was quick to give his guess.
But after subconsciously substituting yourself into the dead end of the deceased...
She tried to imagine herself lying on the ground like the dying Uchida, and then put her left hand behind her neck in reverse and tried to attack the "leg" that was pressing against her neck.
"No... Looks like I guessed wrong. β
"In this posture, ten percent of the strength of the arm cannot exert three percent, and it is impossible to resist at all."
Mao Lilan frowned slightly, and asked in confusion:
"What did Uchida do with this hand before he died?"
"Yes, it's a phone."
It was not Lin Shinichi who gave the answer, but Aoki.
This accomplice with a good confession attitude directly spoils the answer:
"Uchida kept trying to reach for his phone with his left hand when he was stepped on by Ishikawa."
"It's just... The phone was kicked away by Ishikawa, and he didn't get it in the end. β
"What does Uchida do with his phone?"
Mao Lilan asked eagerly.
"Probably... Maybe you want to call the police with your mobile phone. β
Aoki replied resignedly.
Lin Xin raised his eyebrows: "Maybe?" β
Aoki glanced at Lin Xinyi with some fear, and pondered for a moment before saying:
"When Uchida was beaten by Ishikawa before, he was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak."
"And after that... Uchida sneaked up on his phone, and we all thought he was trying to call the police. β
"That's probably unlikely."
"If you call the police in person during the bullying process, you can't succeed if you think about it."
"Not only is it unlikely to succeed, but it can provoke the bully's revenge."
"Uchida, he shouldn't do such a self-inflicted thing."
Lin Xinyi took a deep breath and spoke with a sigh:
"I think he was still trying to fumble with his phone at the last moment of his life..."
"There should be some information stored in the phone, I want to show it to you!"
"W-What?"
Aoki was slightly stunned, and his expression became a little complicated.
He couldn't figure out what important information Uchida's phone had to show them, could it still save his life in that situation?
In the end, in a state of confusion, Aoki honestly told the clues of Uchida's mobile phone:
"Uchida's phone was put back in his jacket pocket by us."
"I don't know... When he was thrown from a height, did he break it? β
"Understood..."Without hesitation, Lin Xinyi leaned down and gently groped in the pocket of Uchida's corpse's clothes.
Sure enough, there was a mobile phone inside, and it was lucky not to be broken.
Press the keyboard, and the screen will still react.
"Let's see what kind of message Uchida left behind..."
In fact, this has nothing to do with the case itself, let alone the work of the forensic doctor.
But Lin Xinyi felt that it was necessary for him to let the last message of the deceased reappear in the world.
So, Lin Xinyi gently pressed his mobile phone and carefully checked the call records and text message records of Uchida before his death.
And then... He fell silent.
"What's wrong?"
Mao Lilan asked with some concern.
Lin Xinyi didn't answer directly, but handed the phone to Aoki's hand on the side:
"Aoki, you put these two short beliefs out."
"Let me read it?"
Aoki was puzzled, why did he let him, an accomplice of evil, convey Uchida's last message.
"I think you need to read it."
Lin Xinyi replied in a heavy tone.
Aoki honestly took the phone and gently swept his gaze over the text message.
"Thisβ" It was like an electric shock, and his whole body froze there.
"Read!" Lin Xinyi coldly urged.
"I... Article 1... The first was sent by the principal to Uchida: "
Aoki shuddered and read out the message on Uchida's phone:
"The principal asked in a text message..."
"Uchida-san, I have received the letter of understanding and consent you submitted."
"Here, on behalf of the school, I would like to solemnly ask you, are you really willing to forgive Ishikawa and them?"
After reading the first one, Aoki's voice was already trembling violently:
"Article 2, Uchida replied to the principal:"
"Mr. Headmaster, I volunteered."
"Although they have done me very excessive, I have decided to choose forgiveness."
"After all... If they are expelled from school, their lives will be very difficult in the future, right? β
"The book says 'everyone deserves a second chance,' and I thought that if I could try to forgive, maybe someone as bad as them could be better."
"It's unlikely, though, but I'd like to give it a try."
"Please give them a chance, Mr. Chancellor, maybe, this can save the lives of three people."
"Above, the sender, Sho Uchida."
After reading this, Aoki knelt on the ground weakly:
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
He hugged his head uncontrollably and cried, tears like pouring rain, soaked in guilt and sadness that could not be dissolved.
There was a dead silence, only Aoki's crying echoed leisurely.
"Whew..."
Lin Xinyi let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Uchida's corpse with complicated eyes:
"What a gentle child."
"It's just a pity... The world is not gentle with you. β
