Chapter 449: Interesting Murder

"It turned out to be a box for an emergency survival rope, and there was a false alarm."

Mori Kogoro and the others quickly ran after the box at the stern, took a look at the burning box, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wrong!!"

Chen Jun said coldly: "There are people in that fire!" ”

"What?"

"Hurry up and get a fire extinguisher." Maori Kogoro yelled, "Crew, save people." ”

"It's hopeless, I smell gasoline."

The flames on the box were gradually extinguished, and white smoke was emitting, Chen Jun kicked the box open with a hard kick, and took a flashlight to shine it, revealing a charred corpse inside.

Suddenly seeing the corpse, everyone was shocked.

Many passengers, including the crew, couldn't bear to look at it and skimmed their heads, especially when there was a peculiar smell in the air, or 'meaty'

Of course, in addition to Chen Jun, there are still a few people who dare to watch such a restricted-level picture.

The old police officer, Shimaharu Samezaki and Kogoro Maori, looked at the corpse as usual, and the former stuck out his head to look at the dead body, sighing, "Damn, it's unrecognizable." ”

"I don't know who he is or when he died."

Conan looked unafraid, and ran to the corpse with interest, "We still have an elite forensic doctor here." ”

Shimaharu Sakazaki and Kogoro Mori looked at Chen Jun.

Chen Jun said calmly, "Forensic medicine is not omnipotent! "He doesn't seem to be afraid to be imperfect.

In the on-site medical investigation and medical follow-up evidence collection, the charred corpse is the most difficult type of autopsy, and the large-scale burns and destruction and charring of the corpse make it impossible to judge the time of death according to the external characteristics, corpse spots, corpse coldness and other phenomena.

In addition, the charred appearance of the corpse has been damaged, and even the fingerprints have been damaged, and it has become a major difficulty to determine the identity of the deceased, which is often done with the help of DNA testing and other means.

But now on a cruise ship, there is no such condition at all.

In order to solve the case in a short time, it is necessary to carry out the means of on-site autopsy.

Chen Jun took out milky white gloves from his pocket and slowly put them on with both hands.

This kind of ceremonial action, Conan and Mori Kogoro have met twice, and at this time they can't help but feel slightly excited and look forward to it.

"Ito, do you think this corpse will be Ye Caisan?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Chen Jun did not speak, and meticulously carried out the examination of the corpse.

In forensic science, there is a clear grading of the degree of burns.

In first-degree burns, the superficial layer of the epidermis of the skin is damaged by heat action, and the basal red blood cell layer is not injured, and only local capillaries and arterioles are congested, and the local appearance is erythema.

Superficial partial-thickness burns...... Deep second-degree burns

Third-degree burns, significant high heat causes the skin, skin tissue, and even musculoskeletal necrosis, which manifests itself as the tissue is hardened, brittle, and black due to the loss of moisture and protein coagulation.

Fourth-degree burns, charred corpse.

The body was a case of extensive partial-thickness burns and localized partial-thickness burns.

“....”

"Maybe it's Xie Jiang for a long time, that tall and thin middle-aged man."

A middle-aged man behind him picked up the words of Maori Kogoro, he was thin and weak, and it was the previous Ebiko catfish.

"If you look at his watch, I remember when I asked him the time, he had a gold watch in his hand."

Mori Kogoro looked at the watch on the corpse's wrist and nodded, "It seems to be his gold watch, and the sweater he was wearing, although it didn't burn out, but it could still be seen a little bit." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Miss Isobei, a beautiful young woman, stood up, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "How can it be Mr. Xie Jiang, it's really ridiculous!" ”

"Ridiculous?" Mori Kogoro was not convinced.

Miss Isobe said directly, "Isn't it suspicious that you look at the posture of his corpse, and the upper half of his body stands up, as if this corpse is going to show off his watch to us?" ”

"You're wrong about that."

Chen Jun stopped what he was doing, slowly stood up, and exhaled a long breath.

"Why am I wrong about this, isn't it suspicious?"

"Miss Isobei, suspicious is suspicious, but suspicious you are wrong."

Chen Jun said: "The phenomenon of slight erection of the upper body of the corpse is actually a common thermal stiffness, which is especially common in this major area of severe burns. ”

"In a burning corpse, the skeletal muscles are solidified and contracted by heat, causing thermal stiffness."

"There are more flexed muscles in the hands and feet than in the straightened muscles, so the joints are all semi-flexed, like a boxer making an attacking motion."

"Oh."

"What is really suspicious is another point, the watch of the corpse is loose."

Chen Jun pointed to the gold watch that Hai Lao Ming Catfish had just said, "It may be that the murderer deliberately set it up for us to see, this corpse is not Xie Jiang's Jiujiu." ”

"No, it won't."

Mori Kogoro retorted, "It must have been when he put the body in the box, and the gasoline tank that was deliberately placed in it exploded, bounce off the gold watch in his hand." ”

"Yes, it's possible."

Shimaharu Ishizaki agreed, "Because the plastic sheet covering this box also seems to have flown off." ”

"Plastic sheeting?" Chen Jun asked.

Maori Kogoro said: "Yes, when I came to the deck with Officer Samezaki to search Ye Caisan earlier, I found that there was a plastic sheet on this box that said Emergency Escape. ”

"You didn't open the box?"

"No, because there is a rope tied to the top of the box, we don't think it is possible to hide Ye Caisan inside. And when we went back, Mr. Xie Jiang Shijiu was sitting on the edge of the wine table drinking. ”

"Interesting~"

Chen Jun smiled.

Limited by the information he got from the corpse, he didn't find the murderer at once, which proves that the real murderer behind this bureau has two brushes.

Of course, there are only two.

"Ahem!!"

Chen Jun looked around at everyone, "No matter who this corpse is, there is a clue for everyone to judge, and it was found after my autopsy just now." ”

"The victim's face has a substance, silicone, which is commonly used in modern medical cosmetology, and although the body has extensive and deep burns, it can still be easily found."

"This guy has had a plastic surgery!" Shimaharu Samezaki was surprised.

"That's right, if I remember that Officer Samezaki didn't say the wrong thing, Ye Caisan once had three companions, but they all betrayed and shot him later."

Chen Jun said: "These three people escaped the tracking of the police after undergoing medical aesthetic plastic surgery, and if this body is Xie Jiang for a long time, then the other two people who call him brothers and get along well are Kameda and Whale Ei Dingo." ”

"I'm not wrong, Mr. Tadao Whalei."

"When I paid attention to you before, your attitude towards Xie Jiang was very familiar, obviously you had just met.

And after you see the handwriting on the banknote, you panic, cold sweat, what are you afraid of? ”

"At least don't sweat when you look at me now."
