Chapter 140: Drowning

"Miss Lihua went to the second floor to change clothes for so long, shouldn't something happen?"

Takashi Izae stood up from the sand and said to the Nikaido beside him with some worry.

Nikaido glanced at his watch, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Indeed, it's been half an hour, and with her urgency, she shouldn't have gone downstairs so slowly." ”

"Looks like we should all split up and look for Miss Lihua." Rokuda will be the Si Ti yì said.

Everyone agreed with Liutian's statement, after all, their main purpose in staying in the villa was to get close to this Miss of the Four Futures Group. Now that she's gone, it's late, so she feels bored and purposeless.

Ogata also got involved and began to split up.

In the corridor on the second floor, Mifune said to Ogata: "This Yotsui Lika is brutal and willful, whoever marries her, although she has earned a fortune that is difficult to win for a lifetime, has lost her yearning for beautiful things. ”

"You can see it clearly." Ogata glanced at Mifune and said softly.

Mifune nodded: "Aren't you also very transparent?" Know what you want and what you want to do. ”

"Well, if you affirm these pursuits, you will have a good time." Ogata replied.

On the second floor and checking room by room, nothing was found. When we got back to the living room on the first floor, everyone was back together.

"It seems that there is nothing to show in the villa. Why don't you go outside and look for it? Osamu Gojo sighed, more concerned about Reika Shitsui's safety. Like him, everyone is hoping that nothing will happen, otherwise this stay will be spoiled.

After obtaining everyone's consent, a search was carried out outside the villa.

"Where did that Miss Lihua go?" Kogoro Maori complained.

It's cold outside the villa, and it's late at night, and wearing a thin coat alone makes your skin feel like goosebumps. If it weren't for the sake of finding someone, it was obvious that everyone would not want to come out and suffer.

Ogata and Mori Kogoro, Ran, Conan, and a group of Mifune who stuck to them. When they walked two or three hundred meters away from the villa, suddenly a light rain began to fall in the sky.

"Damn." Mifune cursed, feeling the raindrops on his face and blue suit.

Ogata said, "Let's go back, this kind of weather may not come to fruition." ”

"That's all there is to it." Kogoro Mori nodded in agreement.

Everyone trotted all the way to the villa they had left. Just when they arrived at the fountain pool that had been built more than ten meters in front of the villa, they suddenly saw a figure lying there.

Ogata's eyes flashed, and he sniffed a familiar smell between his noses, and he looked at the suit, if I remember correctly, it was Yuji Nikaido, who was looking for Reika Shitsui outside.

"Hey, Nikaido-san, what are you doing here?" Mori Kogoro walked over with a grin, apparently recognizing his identity.

Ogata whispered to Xiaolan beside him, "Don't look at it for a while." ”

"Huh?" Ran looked at Ogata in astonishment, and Conan apparently heard him.

At the moment when Mori Kogoro stretched out his hand to touch Nikaido Yuji, his whole person turned over, facing the sky, a pale, wide-eyed hideous face, no longer the handsome he had met in the first year of the previous year

Mori Kogoro couldn't help but exclaim, and Mifune, who was also startled and had barely seen a corpse.

Cousin.

Xiaolan peeked at Ogata, and if he hadn't told him in advance, he would have screamed.

"If a living person lies next to a pool, the stone bricks on his chest close to the edge of the pool will cause his body to rise and fall at a certain frequency during his heartbeat and breathing. But Nikaido Yuji is so quiet, not asleep or unconscious, but completely dead. ”

Mifune looked back in surprise, he only remembered at this time.

Ogata, who hasn't seen in a long time,

It's a Tokyo newspaper that is a big report, that famous forensic doctor!

When everyone gathered around the fountain, they all looked nervously and frightened at the dead Nikaido Yuji, the rich boy who remembered himself as confident and well-off.

"Ogata, what should I do?" It's true that Mori Kogoro is a detective, but at this time, he has to listen to Ogata, because although he understands and learns a little about corpses, he is far from Ogata's professional Cheng DΓΉ.

Ogata glanced at the light rain that was still falling, and said to Mori, "We'll carry the body indoors." ”

"What?" The reaction of a group of people was very strong and expected.

"The rain washing away the body will affect some evidentiary judgments, and it is best to keep it properly until the police arrive!" Ogata looked at everyone and said very seriously.

Mori Kogoro echoed, "Ogata is a coroner working for the Metropolitan Police Department, and no one is more familiar with this aspect of handling work than him. ”

With the help of Kogoro Mori, and under the gaze of everyone, who felt the scalp of the scalp, Ogata carried the drenched corpse to the door of the living room of the villa.

"Uncle, just leave it here."

Ogata said to Mori.

After laying down the body, Ogata took off his wet coat, revealing the white shirt he had just bought today, and then pulled out the disposable white gloves he had brought with him in the pockets of his pants.

"You can go and rest, I'll give you the results in an hour."

His autopsy work was very meticulous, and it took a long time each time, and even Ikawa, who was in the same group, would think that he was a chronic child, but in fact, Ogata multiplied the number of examinations in each part several times more than other forensic doctors.

"I'll stay and help you." Mori Kogoro said.

Xiaolan thought for a while: "I'll stay too." ”

"Xiaolan, forget it." Ogata smiled slightly: "After all, it's contact with corpses, and girls will feel awkward." Go take care of Conan. ”

Nikaido Yuji's corpse was drenched, his face was pale, and he could even say that he was twisted and struggling, and his facial muscles could no longer find the contours and lines they had before.

Ogata uses acupressure to test the relaxation of the muscles. Mori Kogoro on the side didn't say anything.

Judging from the symptoms of the corpse, Nikaido Yuji's various signs indicate that he drowned.

The biggest difference between a drowning person and a suffocation person is that the latter maintains an intermittent state of destruction of bodily functions, while the former directly destroys the internal organs of the human body, resulting in the inability of bodily functions to function normally.

And drowning people are divided into two main categories. Freshwater drowning, saltwater drowning. And then go to the detailed division, there are full body and half body

In the vicinity of the entire villa, there is no seawater, so the probability of fresh water is close to more than 90%.

In freshwater drowning, a large amount of water is absorbed into the blood, which greatly dilutes the blood, increases blood volume, increases the burden on the heart, and soon develops pulmonary edema, irregular heart rhythm, accelerated ventricular heart rhythm and expands into ventricular fibrous fibrillation, and death from heart failure.

"How?" Mori Kogoro saw Ogata open the clothes on the deceased's upper body, looked at the exposed body skin, and then examined the deceased's eyes and other parts again, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"It was indeed drowned, and the location of the crime was confirmed to be in a fountain." Ogata replied in the affirmative.

Seeing that Mori Kogoro was puzzled, Ogata explained, "The swelling of the blood vessels in Nikaido Yuji is caused by the absorption of a large amount of weak fluid into the blood during the drowning process by the mouth and snort. Cornea, petechial hemorrhage. The elasticity of his skin surface and the non-clotting of blood throughout his body after the acupressure test confirmed that the cause of death was drowning. ”

"As for the identification of the place of death, it is judged by the obvious regionality of the upper and lower body."

Ogata pointed to the upper body of the corpse, "The blood is filled with a lot of water, and it should circulate throughout the body so that the color of the corpse and the laxity of the skin are consistent. However, the lower half of the deceased's body had a noticeable color difference, because he maintained a posture of lying on the edge of the masonry of the pool, which slowed down some of the blood flow. Therefore, the upper body of the deceased has obvious swelling, and the lower body has a harder abnormality. ”

Maori Kogoro nodded abruptly and said, "Who did that?" ”

"First of all, one thing is for sure, the murderer appeared directly behind the deceased, otherwise it would be impossible to complete a simple and brutal murder with the setting in front of the pool. And I saw the corpse of the deceased in the process of pressing down forcefully at the neck of the deceased, and I can imagine that a person pressed the neck of the deceased with his hand and poured it into the pool water. ”

"This one is for sure, how to drown the dead without physical contact."

Ogata looked at Mori Kogoro and deduced, "But the momentary physical contact of Tong GuΓ² can lock the height of the murderer, an adult man who has not reached one meter eight in height." (To be continued...)
