Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 60 Counter-Evidence
Shiraishi then changed into a dirt-resistant and durable mission uniform and came to the morgue - Shiraishi's uniforms were all custom-made, and the General Affairs Department only gave him two sets, which would be difficult to change if they got dirty!

"Do the family members agree to an autopsy?" Shiraishi asked Kunikida.

"The victim's only immediate family member is his wife, who is pregnant and unwilling to undergo an autopsy. Detectives Makitaka and Suzuki are now at his home, along with nearby Patrolmen Fuji and Kawai. Because the victim's wife is pregnant, they are mainly trying to comfort her and are not daring to provoke her."

Kunikida answered questions fluently. Although he usually did not do anything, he could be very useful when he really paid attention.

Bai Shi nodded in understanding after hearing this.

As for why criminal police had to go to the deceased’s home and even send patrol police nearby for support?

Mainly because of the fraud case!

The hope is to find evidence of the deceased's crimes during his lifetime, as well as detailed customer information, in his home. This way, they can identify all the victims of the fraud, both for the fraud itself and to screen out suspects in other murders.

Considering his wife's condition, the ones who went were the only female police officer in the Criminal Division, Makiko Miwa, and Makiko's partner, Suzuki Atsushi, who had the second kindest face in the division, and two female patrol officers also went to support them.

The issue of the autopsy was not raised with the deceased's wife...

After all, the other party was pregnant, and at present, the injuries of the deceased were completely consistent with the scene, and the cause of death was very clear. Because it was discovered very early and the time of death was also very clear, there was no need for an autopsy.

Besides, if an autopsy is really needed, the victim's body can only be transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, but there is no forensic doctor in the department!

Bai Shi clasped his hands together in front of the corpse, then he opened the body bag and started to check it, and... he looked at the deceased's chest in a very targeted manner.

Kunikida looked at Shiraishi a little more uncomfortably...

However, other detectives have already gotten used to Chief Shiraishi's peculiarity - generally speaking, the chief will not personally inspect the body. No matter how important the case is, at most he will just supervise it, that is, sit in the office and give instructions to the front-line detectives!
This is not just a problem of being "out of touch with reality". If these professional and semi-professional groups really come to the front line, they will only cause trouble.

But this is definitely not the case with Shiraishi.

Kanzaki was the only one besides Kunikida who didn't know Shiraishi's side. Since he was a newcomer, he thought the other senior police officers were the same...

When Bai Shi opened the dead man's clothes and looked at the marks on his left chest, he immediately showed an expression of "as expected" and said: "As expected..."

Not only Shiraishi himself, but Kunikida's expression also changed when he saw the traces - before this, Kunikida had refused to go on the front line, and for a "section chief", this was also normal, and naturally he had not seen the body with his own eyes.

"Eh? Director...this...isn't it caused by the crutch?" Kanzaki immediately became anxious.

Other senior detectives had also seen this trace before, but it was Kanzaki who used this point to refute Shiraishi in the previous meeting.

Many detectives present at the scene were also wondering what the Director had done...

"Indeed, this mark is consistent with the cane that Shinjiro Otani held, but this level of congestion is definitely not caused before death, but should have been swollen for a period of time." Shiraishi said with certainty, and at the same time, he turned his head to look at Kunikida and said, "That's right."

Just now at the case discussion meeting, Kanzaki mentioned the "red mark", and Shiraishi felt something was wrong - if someone was stabbed before dying, it shouldn't be that red normally!
"Well, if... it's really the injury caused last night, the blood has been flowing all night, and the degree of congestion is just right." Kunikida also nodded.

"If Mr. Otani pushed him last night... and his memory is confused because of mental problems, then... this mark proves that he is not the real murderer!" Yuan said hurriedly. "We can't be so arbitrary. Maybe he pushed twice and deliberately gave that kind of testimony to deceive us." Akasaka reminded.

At this time, Shiraishi said, "But... Section Chief Kunikida, you are very popular in the Metropolitan Police Department, right? Can you recruit two forensic doctors?"

"Eh? Director, stop joking." Kunikida was stunned when he heard this - is this a problem that can be solved by having good interpersonal relationships?

"That's right... Well, that's all we can do. Thank you for your hard work, Section Chief Kunikida. Please find some free time in the future to train us all on inspection techniques!" Shiraishi said, patting him on the shoulder.

Kunikida:……

You just see that my work intensity is not saturated, right?
Kunikida also saw Shiraishi's intentions!
Originally, Kunikida was very reluctant to be transferred here, but... the Superintendent talked to him personally and gave him a mandatory order, so he was transferred here!

It’s not that he doesn’t want to leave the Metropolitan Police Department or that he dislikes the police station, but he mainly doesn’t want to be involved in criminal police work anymore.

Therefore, after Kunikida came, he was somewhat passive and lazy. His greatest presence was to strictly enforce internal affairs in the "Criminal Division". He urged everyone to tidy up their desks and clean the offices every day. The "Criminal Division" was in chaos in the past two days, but he did not care about the cases. The detectives were also dissatisfied with this section chief who was transferred from the publicity department of the head office.

But they still thought that the Metropolitan Police Department had specially transferred this person because of the previous Shirai incident to emphasize discipline to them, so they suppressed their dissatisfaction.

Seeing the conversation between Kunikida and the Director, they realized...

Does this section chief transferred from the Propaganda Section have anything else?

If it were yesterday, Kunikida would have emphasized to Director Shiraishi that he refused to work overtime, but...

Because he saw with his own eyes that Shiraishi was on the front line, especially when pursuing the truth, he was not affected by other factors and did not care about his own gains and losses. This made Kunikida feel that "if it was Director Shiraishi, perhaps that tragedy could have been avoided", so he agreed sullenly: "Okay, I'll see about finding time to train everyone later."

Akasaka and the others were still not taking it seriously, so Shiraishi emphasized, "Section Chief Kunikida was the former head of the Souichi Division. He saw more murder cases and bodies than the thieves you guys caught. You all should pay more attention!"

"Not that many..." Kunikida retorted speechlessly.

It is true that there are many experienced and professional criminal police in the Mihua Police Department, but... the number of homicide cases handled is not comparable to that of "Search One".

The police officers of the Beihua Police Station "inspect" the most elderly people who died of natural causes at home. Only the detectives of the search team have the experience of "inspecting homicide cases" using a large number of victims' bodies.

When the detectives present heard Shiraishi say this, they were all surprised - Kunikida had been in the publicity department for the past six years, so not many people knew about his past experience!
but……

"Huh?" The young Kanzaki was the only one who expressed surprise, his voice full of the feeling of "this guy is actually the head of the Souichi Department".

Seeing everyone looking at him, especially Kuroki who stepped on him, Kanzaki quickly covered his mouth.
