Chapter 121 Entomology solves the case
"In order to cover up the difference between her complexion and normal people, the murderer is likely to use some cosmetics on the skin of Ikeda Chikako's facial skin. I found some traces of makeup on the corners of her mouth and pores on her jaw."
When she heard Okata's words, Ayako Suzuki recalled the one she saw in the morning and always felt something strange. Finally, she remembered that there seemed to be a layer of foundation on her face, and it was not evenly. As a woman, she and Chikako Ikeda knew one thing. If she didn't remove makeup at night, it would easily clog the pores and affect the metabolism of her skin.
"And this method is to create a time difference in the crime by misleading Miss Ayako, so that everyone can mistakenly believe that the death of Ikeda Chikako was delayed after 5:30."
"Back to what I said at the beginning, if humans are nervous and excited, they will cause the pores in the scalp to contract and expand. They will also reflect one phenomenon, that is, the eyes..."
"Eyes?" Everyone looked at Okata's voice and found that the eyes of the head were closed.
"We can see that the eyes of the deceased are closed, but they violate a physiological constant law. When the eyes of humans are closed, tension and excitement will be reduced to the lowest point. So in contrast, the degree of pore shrinkage of the scalp has obvious deviations, or even contradictions."
"There are obvious strange zombies in the eyelids and eyelids, which are caused by external force squeezing the skin. Therefore, the closed eyes were deliberately done by the murderer after killing Ikeda Takako. The purpose is to implement the technique just now, so that she can sleep peacefully and not be discovered by others."
While Okao was speaking, he placed the paper riding on the maggots where everyone could see clearly. Everyone couldn't help but avoid their eyes, their faces looked a little ugly, and their stomachs couldn't help but roll. Because during the entire dissection process, the most disgusting scene was that Okao used tweezers to remove these still squirting creatures from the yellow and white liquid.
I sighed, it seemed that it was difficult to see them in, and I could only say it.
"In the absence of the main corpse part, the only evidence that can prove the time of death is the maggots in my hands." Okabaya deliberately increased the volume of his voice when he spoke, because when people deliberately avoided something, they would block some of their hearing.
"Don't underestimate them, because it involves the science I mentioned next, forensic entomology! Perhaps this is a strange term in the forensic world in Japan, but during my study abroad, the United States has listed it as a compulsory course for forensics. Although it is unpopular, it is particularly practical when there is a lack of substantive evidence."
When Okata heard what he said, some people turned their eyes back to the maggots, and they still felt disgusting, especially girls who resisted such things. So most of the forensic work are men.
Ogata sorted out his thoughts, and everyone's reaction would not affect his inference: "In simple terms, forensic entomology is to apply theories and techniques of insects and other natural sciences. We all know that whether it is a corpse or a meat, it will attract some uninvited guests during the process of rotting. These uninvited guests will choose to eat or stay in the way of staying in fresh food for them."
"Ordinary people think that maggots and flies will only grow on corpses, but in fact it is wrong. In forensic examination, the microorganisms that can be born in corpses include mosquitoes, cereals, flies, flies, etc., and even butterflies that we think are very beautiful..."
Hearing this, some people listened in shock, feeling it was exaggerated and outrageous, but listening to Okata's words in succession, they were loud and loud.
"The maggots on my hand were found in the periosteal layer of the dead, Ikeda Tsukako. They not only eat brain tissue, but also keep moving in the corpse, and continue to reproduce, accelerating their collapse. So nothing is better known than them, the changes formed inside the corpse."
"Thereforeigner will therefore examine the color, spots, growth form of these maggots based on forensic entomology, and analyze and judge the time, place of death, cause of death and other facts of the corpse. No matter what method the murderer uses to deceive the truth, these creatures living in the body of the deceased will tell the truth."
Okayama has only one meaning in telling everyone about forensic entomology, that is, what he said is not aimless, fully respects science, and can withstand scrutiny. It lays the groundwork for persuasion and credibility, and indirectly attracts their attention, and will not be affected by the nausea of maggots.
Raising the paper in his hand, a few maggots, either curled up or twisted, lay restlessly on it. Okata's eyes flashed across everyone and found that everyone's eyes followed.
"These maggots are invertebrates, diptera larvae, or fly cubs. Their growth environment is very special. We can see a few of them I took out of the dead's head. They are milky white in color and have a body length of about two centimeters."
Hiroki Kakutani kept recording. As Okata said, he pulled the camera closer and saw the details on the maggots clearly, and felt so disgusting, and even more admired Okata.
"The growth stage of maggots is divided into several types. Let's first look at the color. As maggots evolve and grow, the proteins in their bodies will gradually turn into yellowish color, and this maggot that keeps crystal clear and bright is in the new stage."
"Their growth time is between two and five hours. Excluding the time when maggots appear in the corpse, it is estimated that the murder time took place at night, not after 5:30 as Miss Ayako said..."
Okao made judgments through maggots, which made everyone feel fresh and surprised, and almost subverted his understanding of things like insects.
At first, Conan was rejected by the academic performance of forensic medicine, but gradually, after listening to it for a long time, he realized... what Okara said was all-encompassing, not just forensic medicine.
In an instant, Conan looked at his figure and recalled the words that Okara had nothing to do, looked through his textbook and said casually.
“All knowledge is useful.”
