I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

The lake area in Nishimuashino where the black plastic bag was found has been cordoned off by police.

A group of reporters had been stopped outside.

Three people wearing UDI work clothes and with work badges hanging on their chests entered the scene under the guidance of the police.

"It's finally here! Hurry up and collect them, and then put the bodies back together!"

The Nishi Musashino Police Station detectives breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the UDI people coming.

"I really like to order people around. Even without Conan-kun, Maori-san still exists!"

Tokai Lin Xizi complained.

The police are already in charge of the on-site investigation, and UDI will be responsible for piecing together the body parts and determining the cause of death.

"Newbie?"

Maori Tadashi looked curiously at the boy behind them who was looking at the scene.

"You don't look very old."

"But he is young, and he is still a student of the University of Tokyo. He is much more useful than a certain detective."

"Hey, you're too rude!"

Suddenly they were about to start arguing with each other. Seeing this, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but complain in his heart, wondering if the relationship between forensic doctors and police was so bad?

But since he had already arrived at the scene, he had no time to think about anything else.

Wearing a mask and gloves, he entered the scene, following behind Misaki Mikoto and Tokai Lin Yuko, and saw a shocking scene.

"Uncomfortable? Nauseous? If so, please tell me."

Misaki Mikoto turned around and asked gently, her words slightly calming the boy's mood.

Chapter 203 Why do this?

Who on earth would do such a thing?

A perverted serial killer?

Simply seeking excitement?

Revenge on society?

This is not a TV drama, but something that really happened before his eyes. The shocking scene caused an impact that surged in Tomoya Aki's heart like a wave.

My brain started to feel overwhelmed and my mind became even more unsettled.

With the care and reminders of the two seniors from the Misumi class, Tomoya Aki calmed down for a while and then started to help.

The time spent at a murder scene is not easy. If the body is normal, it's okay, but if it's abnormal, it will inevitably be affected.

But for Misaki Mikoto and Tokai Lin Yuko, who have been through many battles and have been tempered, they have already gotten used to it.

So, the word "habit" is really powerful...

Helping with the on-site work and record-keeping, Akitomo couldn't remember how much time it took.

When we got back to the car, the sun was shining brightly.

The earth was baking, and the scorching heat was a torture for people.

He sniffed and could still smell something.

"The bones, muscles, and skin flaps of the body parts roughly match, but we still need to go back for further identification. The murderer's method was very crude."

Misaki Mikoto said this while sitting in the passenger seat, looking up at Tomoya Aki who was still reminiscing in the rearview mirror.

It's not like he was scared, it's just that he couldn't understand it.

When they were doing a simple splicing check on the spot, his expression was even more uneasy than it is now.

"Frightened?"

"...No, I was just wondering, what kind of person could be so cruel?"

After killing someone, they dismembered the body and threw it away like garbage. It’s scary to think about it.

Anyway, in addition to anatomical investigation, this job can really hone your mentality.

Just look at Misaki Mikoto and Tokai Lin Yuko, they are much calmer.

"We are forensic doctors. We don't need to understand the murderer's feelings. The body is here, which explains a lot."

Misumi Mikoto replied calmly.

Never try to understand the murderer's feelings. Some murderers are just crazy and unreasonable. Only a crazy person can understand a crazy person.

Moreover, finding the murderer is the police's job. What they need to do is to find out the cause of death, find evidence, and slowly extract the last information left by the deceased.

After returning to UDI, Tokai Lin Yuko, a clinical examination technician, began to extract DNA from each body tissue for STR typing comparison.

After Detective Mori Tadashi from the Nishi-Musashino Police Station arrived with his men, they began conducting further examinations in the autopsy room.

Finally, Tokai Lin Yuko, wearing protective clothing, walked in.

"The deceased was about 70 years old. The skull and torso were both severed at the fourth cervical vertebra. The forearm segments on both sides were also anastomosed. The fit of the segments and the bone segments, muscles and skin flaps were high. The size and color of the tumors on the necks of the two segments were highly consistent with the corresponding skin color. Although the data has not yet been released, it can be basically confirmed that they came from the same individual."

Tomoya Aki took out the records he had taken at the crime scene and continued his work.

"So there is only one person who died?"

Maori Tadaharu covered his nose and muttered.

The condition of the body parts showed that the skin cross-section of the broken ends was uneven, the skull had a small amount of gray hair, and six teeth in the upper and lower jaws. More than ten wounds were visible on the head, and there was a local bulge on the neck.

In addition to the broken end of the torso, a white mass and adhesive material were also found under the skin of the right neck.

"Sure enough, these two identical lumps are very concerning."

Looking at the body that had been reassembled on the dissection table, Aki Tomoya muttered.

In addition to the trauma on the deceased's head, what is worrying is the lump in the same place on both parts of the body.

"Hmm...it's a tumor."

Mikoto Misumi cut off the gray-white mass tissue from the subcutaneous section of the head, as well as the same mass tissue from the subcutaneous section of the torso.

“Use frozen slices.”

Tokai Lin Xizi muttered that if the two pieces of tumor tissue were preserved well, if the frozen section technology was used, histopathological examination and comparison could be carried out quickly.

On the other side, Misaki Mikoto continued to inspect.

"The head trauma site corresponds to a depressed comminuted fracture of the skull... brain contusion and hemorrhage... it can be inferred that it was caused by a hammer or baseball... the number of hits was large, and the impact was not strong..."

"Yes."

Aki Tomoya, who was standing by, was also recording and taking photos of the fractured bones.

The investigation is still ongoing, and the people working on it are extremely focused.

"The adhesive tape on the neck of the torso and the forearms is medical transparent tape."

"Yes... If Dr. Tokai Lin's examination is correct, the deceased would be a cancer patient."

After Mikoto Misumi confirmed that the object stuck on the neck was transparent medical tape, the identity of the deceased was further revealed.

Not only is it cruelly doppelganger, but the target may also be cancer patients.

"The tongue is deviated to the right, and part of the right tongue body is missing. This may be due to the surgery... The mass is severely adhered to the vascular sheath in the neck, and tofu-like necrotic tissue can be seen inside the mass..."

"Yes."

In this way, the identity of the deceased is closer to that of a cancer patient.

The transparent medical tape on his body may indicate that he has been undergoing treatment recently.

While recording and analyzing the case, I wonder who would attack such an elderly patient?

After Misaki Mikoto finishes the examination, we will wait for the inspection and comparison results of Tokai Lin Yuko's frozen sections.

"I have used frozen section technology to conduct rapid histopathological examination and comparison on the raised mass tissues of the two parts of the body. It is a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the late stage. The two parts of the body can be inferred to be from the same individual."

Now it can be basically confirmed.

The victim who was killed and then dismembered was a patient with advanced cancer.

"He is 70 years old, has advanced cancer, has undergone surgery, and may still be receiving treatment recently. In this case, we can check all the hospitals near the scene one by one."

As Amami Tomoya muttered to himself, he marveled in his heart that the murderer had the heart to kill such an elderly person as a 70-year-old cancer patient.

All that remains is for the police to confirm the identity of the deceased, and UDI has already narrowed the scope for them.

After Officer Maori and others left, Mikoto Misumi began to sew up the body of the deceased.

"I suffered from the torture of illness and was deprived of my life by others..."

He looked at the body and shook his head.

The cause of death was not cancer, but brain contusion and hemorrhage.

"Yeah, I hope we can find the murderer soon. Maybe he's a perverted serial killer."

Misumi Mikoto sighed.

"A perverted serial killer with crude methods..."

Amaki Tomoya remembered what Misaki Mikoto said in the car before they came back, and couldn't help but look at the part about head trauma on the recording board in his hand.

"Doctor Sancheng, you said before that the deceased had a depressed comminuted fracture of the skull. It can be inferred that he was hit by a hammer or baseball tool, many times, and the force of the hits was not strong. If he is a habitual offender, this is too cruel, it is simply torture!"

There were more than ten wounds on the head, showing that he had suffered multiple blows.

At this moment, Misaki Mikoto paused and moved closer to Tomoya Aki next to her, looking at him carefully again and again.

"It's also possible that this was his first crime, and the murderer is not very strong, or that he is a woman."

Mikoto Misumi suggested another possibility.

However, until the real murderer is caught, her analysis is just an opinion.

"But the murderer is really cruel to target a man in his seventies."

"There are always one or two psychopaths in the world."

As the two chatted, they began to analyze what kind of person the murderer was.

Seeing this, Tokai Lin Yuko sighed and said, "Are you two going to be detectives? Maori-san just left. If you want to be Conan-kun, you have to catch up with him quickly."

Tomoya Aki and Mikoto Misumi looked at each other, then continued working in silence.

After the body is sewn up and pieced together properly, it is temporarily stored in a body freezer until someone comes to claim it.

"I hope someone can come and claim it soon."

The three prayed that the deceased could return home safely.

Chapter 204: Clearing the Name of the Innocent (1/6)

The information provided by UDI has narrowed the scope for the police. If the patient is in the advanced stage of cancer and has recently arranged treatment, they only need to be checked in a nearby hospital.

This enabled the police to quickly confirm the identity of the deceased.

After checking each hospital one by one, the identity of the deceased and his family situation also came to light.

The deceased was named Kenji Kobayashi, aged 71, in the advanced stage of cancer and had undergone surgery. The police have contacted his family and are beginning to learn more about the situation from them and the hospital.

When the family members learned that the body was here, they rushed here immediately.

The bereaved family member is Kenji Kobayashi's wife. The deceased was five years old. She was very nervous when she entered UDI. The moment she saw the stitched body, she was shaking all over, as if she would collapse at any time.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone in the end..."

Mr. Kobayashi's wife was very sad, and her words and expression were quite sorrowful.

However, she had no intention of taking the body back, saying she wanted to wait for her daughter to return from Osaka.

This was very confusing, but Mrs. Kobayashi did not listen to UDI's advice at all, and left after seeing the body.
