"Star River?"

"After hearing Zhanzi mention the witch resurrection magic trick, I immediately knew that it was an idea she copied from her teacher's notes, the magic trick of resurrecting the demon king that was banned because it was too dangerous."

"No way?" Megure said speechlessly, "She just wanted to plagiarize the teacher's idea, and you killed her?"

“She probably doesn’t know,” Mrs. Zhengying explained, “that when everyone was discussing and deciding to give up this magic trick, my husband hadn’t yet taken her on as his apprentice.”

“Yes,” Hoshikawa Tongwu turned to look at Zhanzi’s corpse.

"Madam said the notebook was in the archives to protect me. In fact, the teacher always carried it with him. Ten years ago, he went out to look for it because he couldn't find it, and he never came back."

"So I found it strange, so I called her into the teacher's room."

Megure left with Hoshigawa Dogo, and before leaving, he sincerely thanked Akatsuka Kaze, which made Kogoro Mori 2.8 very jealous.

“Congratulations, Akatsuki-san,” Kogoro Mouri said, “you’ve solved another case.”

"It's not something to be happy about."

Chi Chufeng sighed as he looked at Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli, who both looked dejected.

He watched silently as Hoshikawa Tongwu was led into the police car.

Hoshikawa Dogo completely lacked the demeanor of a famous and popular magician, only carrying a faint sadness and relief.

The Mori family went home, while Akatsuka took Toyama and Kazuha home.

A beautiful night has fallen.

Chapter 606 A stunningly beautiful woman who loves dissection

The Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Examiner's Office is a forensic institution established to investigate unnatural deaths occurring in the 23 wards of Tokyo.

The medical center occupies a vast area and is almost an independent large hospital.

Moreover, it is an independent hospital specifically established for forensic identification.

Chi Chufeng followed a receptionist into the main building of the medical institute.

It seems that the forensic doctors dispatched for each case are usually from the medical examination department of the Inspectorate, but this time he will be dealing with doctors from the autopsy department.

This visit was suggested by Ai Haibara; she always has some strange interests.

"Will we be watching a live autopsy today?" Ai asked.

"do not know."

Chi Chufeng shook his head.

Ai was quite looking forward to it, and even dressed up specially before coming.

With her long, wavy hair tied back and a baseball cap on, she looked like a younger version of lawyer Eri Hiki.

"Even if there's an on-site autopsy, they wouldn't let a child in, would they?" Chi Chufeng muttered to himself. "But Ai, why are you dressed like this today?"

"Didn't my sister keep telling me to change my hairstyle? So I did." Ai looked around the medical building.

The receptionist walking ahead was a medical school intern. She couldn't help but turn around and look at the mature Ai with a strange expression.

"Well, Lord Chichu, the doctors in the city are still busy. Let me take you to the laboratory first."

Chi Chufeng followed him into a room full of experimental equipment, with many test tubes on a table in the middle.

Through the glass, you can see several other rooms where doctors are busy working.

A mature woman in her thirties wearing a white coat examines the body.

Forensic pathologists are also a profession that deals with the dead, but even more thoroughly than detectives.

If you weren't really passionate about it, you probably wouldn't be able to do it.

I was invited here because of a request from the Metropolitan Police Department.

On-site investigations of the cause of death are often incomplete, so the presence of the medical facility is also quite important; even a small discovery can play a decisive role in solving the case.

"You must be Lord Chi Chu?" The beautiful forensic doctor took off her gloves and returned to the lab. Seeing Chi Chu Feng, she smiled. "You really are young and handsome. And who is this child?"

“Ai, my assistant,” Akatsuka replied.

The beautiful forensic doctor tore open a piece of plastic wrap and started eating without any regard for her surroundings: "I am Sakurako Jounai."

"Oh."

Chi Chufeng's gaze swept over the autopsy report on the table.

He ate normally right after finishing the dissection; he's really something.

“I’m sorry,” Sakurako Jōnei said after looking through the autopsy photos for a while, then suddenly realized something and said, “I’ll take you on a tour now, since we have plenty of time today.”

After a pause, Sakurako hesitated and looked at Ai: "Bringing a child to visit this place, Lord Akatsuki, are you serious?"

“This child is different; he has been interested in anatomy since he was a child.”

Chi Chufeng smiled, and at that moment another woman in a white coat came over.

She has wispy bangs and is probably around 30 years old, but she looks much younger than Sakurako Shironi, who has a more housewife-like appearance. Her aloof demeanor is also unlike Sakurako Shironi's enthusiasm.

"Doctor in the city, the autopsy report from last time is complete."

The woman handed a report to the city and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Chi Chufeng.

“Oh, right,” Sakurako hurriedly swallowed her food and introduced to the aloof woman, “this was sent by the Metropolitan Police Department.”

“I know him,” the woman said with a smile. “The Onmyoji Akachu is someone that very few people don’t know.”

The woman simply extended her hand to Akatsukaze, "I am Misumi, a forensic scientist, and I will be working at the Inspectorate Medical Center this month."

"Hello."

Chi Chufeng gently shook hands with the aloof woman.

“She’s Dr. Misumi, an assistant professor at the medical university, and now the chief surgeon for the anatomy class,” Sakurako Jounouchi said with a smile. “In that case, let Dr. Misumi give you a tour. Do you have time?”

These 957 Dr. Misumi seem very easy to get along with, and their smiles are quite sweet.

She may project an image of a confident, rational, and independent woman.

Reaching the position of assistant professor at this age is indeed no easy feat.

"A tour?" Dr. Misumi looked at Akatsuka Kaze upon hearing this. "There's an autopsy coming up soon, but Lord Akatsuka can observe it live."

"The anatomy team should all be here by now."

Before Akatsukaze could say anything more, Dr. Misumi made a hasty decision and left the laboratory in a hurry, his impatient manner making Sakurako Jounai smile wryly.

"That's how she is. She's only been here a few days, but she's really amazing. She has already dissected more than 1000 corpses and is an expert in the study of compulsive suicide cases."

“Forced suicide?” Chi Chufeng asked.

"I heard this was a mass suicide by burning charcoal," Dr. Misumi turned around, "and the police are here too. It might be a homicide."

Chapter 607 Mass Suicide Case

Unnatural deaths do require reporting to the Inspectorate Medical Centre, and it's not surprising that the police would come.

However, the Inspectorate Medical Examiner usually only conducts administrative autopsies, which mainly involve autopsies on bodies that died unnaturally and were not related to criminal offenses.

There are two types of forensic autopsies in Japan: judicial autopsies and administrative autopsies.

If there is suspicion of homicide, a forensic autopsy will be performed, which will be handled by the university's forensic medicine department. Dr. Misumi used to be in charge of forensic autopsies at the university.

In other cases, administrative autopsies are performed, which are handled by the medical examiners.

Therefore, the bodies sent to the medical examiner's office are usually not related to criminal offenses or are not suspected of being criminal during the investigation, since some causes of death can only be determined after an autopsy.

"Since it was a suicide by burning charcoal, is it necessary to conduct an autopsy?" Ai asked curiously.

“That’s what I think too,” a thin police officer said helplessly. “It’s such an obvious suicide attempt, let’s not make things complicated.”

“Of course we need to perform an autopsy,” Dr. Misumi replied while changing his clothes.

“Even if there is only a very small suspicion of homicide, we cannot give up easily. There have been cases in the past where the investigation stage determined that there was no suspicion of homicide, but the case was overturned through autopsy. This is also the reason why I came to inspect the medical institution.”

"In the past? Have there been any cases like this in the past?" The police officer's face turned bitter. "Dr. Misumi, are you even listening to me?"

"Your name is Ai, right?" Misumi asked, looking at Ai intently. "We didn't consider the children in the audience, so would it be alright if you watched it from outside?"

"can."

Chi Chufeng had already changed his clothes, wearing a transparent smock and a mask.

The anatomy team members were all doing their own preparations, and they all looked very relaxed.

"Aren't the doctors from the city coming?"

"Doctors in the city are mainly responsible for examinations and assessments,"

The police officer stood by as if he were a nobody, and no one even paid him any attention. He could only smile and find Chi Chufeng and say, "Are you Lord Chi Chufeng? I've heard people from headquarters mention you. It's been a long time since I've heard of you. I am Chi Chufeng."

"Officer Mori," Misumi said as she re-entered the autopsy room after speaking with Ai, "if you have a moment, could you please tell Lord Akashi about the situation?"

"Uh," the officer said rather awkwardly, "My name is Mori, and I happen to share the same surname as the famous detective Kogoro Mori, haha. The situation this time is that the newspaper deliveryman found a letter outside the Sato family's mailbox this morning. The writer was Sato Shoichi."

When police arrived at the scene, they found four people, including Sato, lying dead on the floor of a 16-square-meter room.
