Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 139 You can try it
At Nishi Musashino Police Station, the head of the Criminal Division's Third Assault Department, Mori Tadashi, encountered a "troublesome" case today!

The newspaper delivery person saw a suicide note in a family's mailbox that morning, and called the police...

After the police entered the scene, they found signs of charcoal burning in the house and a high level of carbon monoxide in the air. The four victims had been dead for several hours. A simple inspection revealed that the skin of the bodies was pink, which was consistent with the characteristics of "carbon monoxide poisoning."

Originally, he just wanted UDI to issue a suicide certificate and close the case. However, UDI's forensic doctor, Misaki Mikoto, questioned the state of the body and some conditions at the crime scene and requested a detailed autopsy.

And then during the investigation, it was discovered that although the four people each had a suicide note, the four bodies were four unrelated people, not a family of four. They were strangers who committed suicide together, so a forensic report is indeed needed to determine whether they all died of suicide...

It is because of these four additional bodies that UDI is so busy today!

……

Although the Tama area is twice the size of the urban area, its permanent population is only one-third of that of the city, making it considered the "countryside" of the eastern capital.

Although the police officers here are also under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department, they have no future to speak of...

Naturally, Mori Tadashi also believed that it was better to have less trouble than more, so he would not file a case if he could avoid it.

What's more, this time there was even a suicide note, and the scene was indeed a charcoal-burning suicide. Preliminary examination showed that the body also met the characteristics of carbon monoxide poisoning.

UDI insisted on performing an autopsy, and he even questioned whether "you were defrauding our department's funds"!

But since he had already arrived at UDI, there was nothing he could do...

There were four bodies, and he had just finished examining two of them, and he had been waiting outside.

When Maori first heard that someone wanted to cut in line, he was very dissatisfied - our Nishi Musashino Police Station is not to be bullied!
Since they are coming to UDI for an autopsy, it must be a local police station, not the "head office". The "head office" has its own forensic department. We are all police stations in Dongdu, so why do you have to interfere...

"Director Shiraishi has something to do, so of course I have to do Director Shiraishi's request first!" After Mao Li saw who was coming, he immediately shouted at Nakadō and Sancheng, acting in a bully-like manner.

Just now, he had an argument with Zhongtang over the controversy of "suicide or homicide".

At this time, Bai Shi could tell who was the official forensic doctor and who was the assistant from their clothes. The two forensic doctors in front of him were both young.

Especially the female forensic doctor, who looked to be in her twenties. Although she was not wearing makeup because she was doing an autopsy, her facial features were delicate and you couldn't tell at all that she was in this line of work. The male forensic doctor should be no more than 40 years old, with naturally curly hair. At this moment, he had a stern face, as if the corpse owed him millions.

"You are... Inspector Mori, right?" Shiraishi still had an impression of this guy. After all, when Shiraishi was in a pair, he ran all over Dongdu, and... he had an amazing memory.

"It's an honor that you still remember me? Thinking back to the time when Director Shiraishi and I caught those criminals who grew contraband..." Maori wanted to pull Shiraishi and recall the glorious years.

However, the medical examiner at the side interrupted and said, "Since this is an urgent case, Sancheng, you don't have to worry about this for now."

At this time, Shiraishi also officially confirmed that the male forensic doctor was Nakadō and the female forensic doctor was Misumi who would later perform the autopsy on "Yamashiro Zennosuke"!
If you were in a hospital and wanted to “cut in line” during surgery, it would definitely be a sign of privilege, but…

There is no need to say so much about "autopsy"!

Since the Mihua Bureau is really anxious and the director has come in person, then we'll just do it.

There is no need to worry about other corpses. If you are slow in checking, they may come back to life!
"Forensic Doctor Sancheng, please give me your guidance." Bai Shi stretched out his hand and shook hands with her.

Upon seeing this, Sancheng raised an eyebrow in a favorable manner - after all, she had just dissected a corpse!

Although she had taken off the gloves she wore during the autopsy, not many people were willing to shake hands with her in this situation...

For frontline police officers, it’s not a big deal since they have seen a lot of storms, but for the commissioner... he should be a bureaucrat in the police force, right?
"Leave it to me!" Sancheng didn't take "please give me your advice" seriously at this time, he just thought it was a courtesy.

Kamikura explained: "Director Shiraishi also has a forensic license, and is willing to assist in the operation of UDI in the future... But this time Director Shiraishi doesn't need to do anything, just watch and treat it as recovery training."

Kamikura didn't ask Shiraishi for money. After all, he couldn't really ask Director Mika to be his "part-time" worker. Even if Shiraishi's level of forensic medicine could really come in handy, he could only be asked to "self-examine" - if he followed the civilian process, UDI could only charge him a table fee and service fee...

Sancheng was even more surprised to hear that this director was actually a certified forensic pathologist, and Zhongtang also looked at him in surprise.

Of course, neither of them thought that Director Shiraishi could really complete the autopsy independently!

after all……

Forensic skills also require experience to build up. Since he is the "Director", I guess he does not usually engage in forensic work, he just has a "certificate".

Usually Sancheng has a lot of complaints about this kind of people - there are very few practicing forensic doctors in East Island Country, and some people who have forensic certificates are not engaged in related work, which is undoubtedly a huge waste.

But for police officers, of course, there are exceptions...

Even if they don't work as "forensic doctors", it is definitely not a "waste" for police officers to have this knowledge. After hearing that Shiraishi was anxious for the results, Misumi didn't rest much, just drank a sip of water, and immediately called his class recorder Hisabe and inspection technician Tokailin to open the "Yamashiro Zennosuke" station.

The inspection technician, Tokai Lin Yuko, is also a woman, about the same age as Misumi, while the recorder, Hisabe Rokuro, is a man who appears to be in his early twenties.

Shiraishi also knew that Director Kamikura wanted him to "avoid suspicion", so he did not go in and just watched from outside.

Although the victim's information was complete, Sancheng still followed the procedure and confirmed the age of the teeth, external injuries, etc., and then began to open the body...

Shiraishi was outside at the time, and he emphasized, "Please extract the stomach residue and test it...especially to see if there is any wine."

Sancheng answered as he worked inside: "Of course we will do the test...but the deceased was fasting before death and had not eaten anything for at least an hour. The small amount of residue must have been from even earlier."

Bai Shi's eyes lit up when he heard that.

At this moment, Sancheng suddenly thought of something and said, "Hmm? Speaking of wine... There was some kind of red liquid left on the neck of the deceased. It is very likely wine. We will do a detailed test later."

While Bai Shi was getting more excited, he asked nervously, "Are you sure it was sprinkled on there first, or was it contaminated on the murder weapon?"

"The murder weapon is some kind of wide belt-like object... Have you found anything?" Sancheng confirmed with Shiraishi.

"Yes, it's a tie." Bai Shi confirmed.

"That's very possible... provided that the dye residue can be extracted." Sancheng nodded.

……

This was the first time that Shiraishi felt that the communication with the forensic doctor was so smooth.

When he was at the Metropolitan Police Department, Shiraishi had dealt with forensic pathologists before, but...

Regardless of the technology, while performing the autopsy impartially and objectively, the Sancheng forensic doctor will also think about the case and the reasoning!
The same was true of the previous "charcoal burning case". Not only did she perform an autopsy, she was also the first to propose examining the burning conditions of the charcoal fire in the room to determine whether it was consistent with the carbon monoxide concentration in the air.

Soon Shiraishi got what he wanted - a "confession" from "Yamashiro Zennosuke"!
Although some of the results that need to be tested have not yet come out, since they have been collected, no one can interrupt this process now.

"Pay attention to the fatal wound here. Judging from the way the force was used, the murderer is left-handed... Oh, sorry." It was also the first time that Sancheng had such a smooth communication with the police. After all, the person she dealt with the most was the insignificant detective in Nishi Musashino City, so she said a little more.

But after saying this, Sancheng also felt that it was not good - it felt like he was instructing the police to solve a case.

Bai Shi didn't care, but continued to confirm: "Can you confirm how many times it was strangled?"

"It was a one-time operation with great strength, and he did it all in one go. He must be a tall adult male," Sancheng said confidently.

Here, there is no such thing as "missing it because of overlapping marks". Even the number of times force was exerted can be detected from the marks of ligature and bone injuries.

Kamikura came over with a dark face and whispered to Shiraishi, "Director Shiraishi, someone from the Prosecutor's Office just came... to inquire about the remains of Yamashiro Zennosuke."

He knew that there must be something going on here!
I just didn't expect that Director Shiraishi was so bold as to directly compete with the prosecution for the body and evidence?

"Hmm? It's okay, I'll go explain to them." Bai Shi heard this and left for a while.

……

When Yane Wuwen saw Shiraishi at this time, he immediately complained: "Director Shiraishi! The prosecution has already intervened in this case, and the existing evidence is sufficient to support the prosecution. Please don't..." - If the target was not Shiraishi, and he did not feel the "pressure" coming towards him, then it would not be a "complaining" tone.

Even so, Bai Shi interrupted directly and said, "The case is not clear yet, and there will be additional evidence submitted to the prosecution..."

Without waiting for Yane to say anything, Shiraishi interrupted, "The 99.9% success rate of prosecution requires us and the prosecutors to protect it together. I hope that Prosecutor Yane will prosecute with caution!"

Yane: ???
Is this the police line?

Where is Tian Gang?
"Hmph... hmph, Director Shiraishi won't have to worry about how I do things!" Yane originally wanted to be tougher, but he was shrouded in "Shiraishi's huge shadow", so when he uttered the "hmph", it was inevitable that he sounded a little "shy".

After Yanei left, Director Kamikura stepped forward and said to Shiraishi, "Director Shiraishi is really... responsible, but we can't guarantee that the prosecutors will accept the autopsy certificate we submitted. It's better to stop the prosecution first."

Obviously, Kamikura also understands the style of the prosecutors. They are very conservative before filing a lawsuit and hesitate again and again on cases they are not sure of. But once the prosecution process begins, they will ensure the success of the prosecution at all costs!

"Not adopting it? They can try...it's not like they haven't tried before." Bai Shi said calmly.
