Chapter 9 Forensics are the protagonists
"Strength! In terms of the power of an adult, under anger, the force stabbed into a sword can definitely reach the same depth of the wound, but on the body of the real boss, a fault phenomenon of changing the section of the sword blade was found. It can also be understood that the murderer's strength did not reach the strength that a normal adult could achieve."
"This point can also be seen from the bruises on the neck of the corpse. Because during the instant struggle of the True-Zhi Boss, the murderer's power could not control the dead. The advantageous evidence on the corpse was that these handprint-like traces showed irregular loosening... At that time, the True-Zhi Boss resisted, but the murderer's power to pinch him did not reach the point of suppression."
Officer Meguchi nodded slightly. He thought what Okata said was indeed convincing enough. Kogoro Mouri was originally laughing and did not take this boy who returned from the United States seriously, but when everyone was obsessed with listening to his reasoning, they realized that they underestimated the young man from this famous university.
"There is a famous coroner in the United States, Rodson Parker. He mentioned in his autobiography that the wound of a corpse is like the only mouth that can tell the case after death, so when I carefully confirmed the wound here, I determined that the murderer should be excluded from the age group between the ages of eighteen and fifty-five."
Speaking of this, everyone was thinking, and Officer Megu suddenly woke up and looked at the oldest Director Luo He, among the suspects.
Director Luohe stood there silently. The staff around him looked at him in surprise, subconsciously moved away, and distanced him.
Okara stood up, left the body of the boss Makana, walked to the wall, and said slowly in a voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Just as I said just now, the murderer first cut off Mr. Makana's shoulder position, and then forced the deceased to touch the wall, and this is the position that the deceased kept after his death!"
As he said that, Okara used his white glove's right hand to point to the corpse that was painted with professional markings to set it in the right position.
"As for a normal person's arm span, I can press the deceased's head to this position." Okabaya found a police officer to cooperate and gently grabbed the neck of his jaw with his hand.
"At that time, the deceased's feet were about ten centimeters hanging from the ground. In centimeters as the calculation unit, my wingspan plus the calculated position of height reached here." Okabaya took the marker and drew a mark on the wall.
"My height is close to 1.8 meters, while the boss of the Shinaka is about 1.72 meters tall. Here you can refer to the specific position I marked in detail." Okata found a police officer and ordered him: "Your height is about 1.7 meters, let's test the same movement."
Upon hearing this, the policeman asked his colleagues to cooperate and made the same move. Ogata marked the position mark under everyone's eyes.
"You can see three different position marks very clearly!" Okata's eyes swept through two marks, as well as the lines drawn around the dead body of the Makana boss.
Officer Muro and the coroner soon thought of the key. Conan's expression changed, and then everyone's eyes looked at Director Luohe again.
"With the comparison of the other two sets of data, the height of the murderer should be about 1.65 meters. In conjunction with the previous reasoning, among the suspects entering and leaving here, Conan is the youngest, and his strength and height can be completely excluded, so only the Curator Luohe who is completely consistent with his height and age is left." Okata's eyes fell on the hunchbacked figure, and finally said the murderer's name from his mouth.
Not long after the speech was disconnected, Okata continued, "And I found something very interesting on the neck of the corpse."
"Brother Ogata, what is it?" Police Officer Megu changed his name directly at this time and asked anxiously.
"Fe2O3·xH2O." Okata smiled and said interestingly.
Ha? Officer Muro and Kogoro Mouri opened their mouths wide. What is this?
"Is it rust?" Xiaolan said embarrassedly when she remembered the chemistry knowledge she learned in the textbook.
Conan rolled his eyes. Although he admired his cousin's reasoning, he showed off his chemical formulas. What should he do?
Okabata nodded: "I found some rust component in the carrion of the corpse, of course it was not the cutting surface of the sword. It was in the place where the skin was slowly changing. Obviously, the moment the murderer pinched the dead, there should be some rust left in his hand through metal matter."
"That...how did the rust be discovered?" The coroner's face changed slightly. He also checked it carefully, but no obvious rust was found.
Okabaya took off his gloves and said with a smile: "My nose is very flexible. Although the stench of the corpse is disgusting, if you smell it carefully, you will find a scent like blood. The blood in the wound part of the deceased's corpse has long been solidified and dried up, and there is no way to evaporate the smell. I just smelled the existence of rust from the dander."
Kogoro Mouri asked at this time: "Why does rust appear on the body of the boss of the corpse of the samadhi? Could it be that the murderer was left behind?"
"Actually, it is not difficult for us to imagine the situation and picture at that time when we saw this painting." Okabaya slowly walked to the front of this huge "Heaven Punishment" and pointed to the story of the knight stabbing the demon with a sharp sword in the painting.
"Is it armor?" Police Officer Mumu came to his senses and the others suddenly woke up.
Okabaya nodded: "There is an experimental technology in the United States called TED, Trace-elements-detection, which means the detection of trace elements."
"Wearing armor will more or less contaminate the rust of the texture of the armor itself, and the body parts of a person are most likely to touch iron oxide, that is, the surface of the rust, and hair."
"So... Director Luohe, there should be more iron oxide components left on your hair than everyone present." Okabaya sighed and said lightly the most critical evidence.
The crime scene in the entire exhibition hall suddenly became silent, and Okata's voice seemed to echo in his ears. The young man's confident reasoning was decisive and convincing. Whether it was the experienced coroner or the countless police officers Meguri who handled the cases, they were full of admiration.
"Yes, I really killed it." Luo He couldn't tell the joy and sorrow on his face. He looked at the painting called "Heavenly Punishment", and a hint of comfort appeared in his eyes.
"Why did Director Luohe kill the real boss?" Xiaolan looked at the hunched old man, remembering him and explaining the origin of the works of art with a smile. She could not have imagined that such a kind old man would be the murderer.
A police officer walked towards Director Luohe and put handcuffs on his wrist. With a "click", Okayama walked towards him and looked at the wrinkled face: "Do you feel that you are contaminated by the blood of the demon. The Knight of Justice was condemned by God and turned into the next demon?"
"Isn't it?" Curator Luohe's eyes flashed with loneliness. He reluctantly smiled bitterly: "I like this painting very much. Thank you for your reasoning. Those who become demons will always be punished."
At this time, Okabaya came to Director Luohe's ear and said in a very low voice: "If you kill someone you should kill, no matter whether you are condemned in your heart, no matter whether you pay the price, as long as your beliefs are consistent, then a knight or a knight."
"You..." Director Luohe's eyes widened, and no one knew what Okata had said to him.
Okata left Director Luohe's ears, and Murome led his subordinates to further investigate the old man with a soothing expression.
