Chapter 79 The Law of Murder
The room at the crime scene suddenly became quiet. Xiaolan looked at her cousin Okabata, who was the focus of everyone's eyes, and felt that she had experienced countless such moments. His figure became dazzling and his voice became penetrating.
It is hard for the members of the Hachimoto family to believe that the murderer was someone other than Xiaowu, because everyone is a direct relative, only Xiaowu is an outsider who just joined the Hachimoto family. This is also the main reason why everyone agreed after Kogoro Mouri judged that he was the murderer.
"Uncle Maori, I'll leave the following matter to me." Okabaya said apologetically to Kogoro Mori. After all, he is his elder, whether it is out of politeness or guilt for denying his reasoning.
Kogoro Mouri coughed, laughed, and patted Okaga on the shoulder: "Don't worry, say it boldly, there is an uncle here to support you." He smiled a little stiffly, as if trying his best to hide his embarrassment.
"Yes." Okata saw that Kogoro Mori didn't mind and smiled slightly. He walked to the body of the most eye-catching deceased, Hamoto Izumichi, who was still wearing white gloves on his hand and did not take it off.
Because everyone's eyes were all looking at Okata, when Okata walked to the corpse, he naturally dispersed part of his gaze on the already cold.
"The deceased Qimoto Izumizo, the patriarch of the Qimoto family, is an old man over 70 years old." Okabaya looked at the children and relatives of the dead. Some avoided their sight because of fear, while others were crying because of sadness.
His eyes were very sharp, as if he could poke everything out of the way. A figure in the crowd subconsciously retreated, as if he was naked and had nowhere to hide.
Okara squatted down and stroked the cheek of the body: "During my autopsy, some people speculated that the deceased committed suicide because the door lock in the room was tied, which created a logical secret room in the space. But the forensic doctor could see at a glance the specific manifestation of the deceased at the moment of death."
"If a person chooses to commit suicide, the angle and position of the blade will never be here!" Okata pointed his finger at the place where the wound of the corpse was dug open, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the intestines and internal organs seemed to be vaguely exposed to the air.
Kogoro Mouri seemed very curious and approached and looked at the place where Okata's finger fell.
"In the understanding of normal people, the heart is the key to the body and can be killed directly! The deceased will not be unclear about this matter, so he chose to end his life. It must be the critical point that is so refreshing and fatal in common sense. It cannot be the current wound. Because at the location of this wound, it will be very torture and painful when dying, so you can see that the muscles of Mr. Quanzang's face are obviously different from other positions."
"This is because when Mr. Izumi Zang was stabbed, his muscles twitched in pain and did not die directly. People say that those who commit suicide would choose the most enjoyable way of death. Obviously, Mr. Izumi Zang would not torture himself in this way... In other words, this knife was stabbed by the murderer, and this is a clear homicide case."
Okara stroked the corpse's cheek and felt the heart-wrenching hideousness of the pain at that moment. His mind seemed to be reflected in the torture that Hamoto Izumizo could not describe in words.
"Damn it! Who killed my father?" Qiu Jiang heard this conclusion, clenched his fists and asked sternly.
Okabaya glanced at her faintly: "Don't interrupt, listen to me continue."
Qi Benqiujiang wanted to say something, but the dragon man beside her grabbed her arm and signaled her to control her emotions.
"The so-called secret room is also easy to interpret." Okabaya stretched out his hand, slowly spread the palm of the body, and pointed to the inside of his palm and inferred: "There are irregular corpse spots here. If you observe carefully, you will find that this shape is the same as the handle of this room. Generally, corpse spots will form a fixed shape, which can only mean that the deceased squeezes the surface of the skin when he is alive..."
"In other words, when the murderer stabbed the dead, the dead did not disappear because of the stabbing the vital part. When the murderer tried to continue to attack, he locked the door with force. This was to protect himself."
Okata was saying that everyone was listening, and the entire murder scene seemed to return to the scene at that time with his regressive thoughts.
"The deceased closed the door with force, leaving a squeezed area on his hands, which is the phenomenon of corpse manifestation formed after death. Everyone mistakenly believed that Mr. Quanzang committed suicide because of the main reason for his secret room, and in the scene I just described, the two offset each other."
"So we have to bring our thoughts to the second person at the scene of the crime, which is the so-called murderer." Okabaya slowed down his inference and his eyes turned to the corpse: "The death time was determined at 8:12, and this result is the data range estimated after professional judgment."
Kogoro Mouri nodded. He knew Ogata's ability very well and would not accidentally make the time of death.
"At around 8:12, everyone was having a meal in the restaurant. If it were to say that there was a proof of absence, I think many people could see it. Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, and Miss Xia Jiang were at the same table. And what I noticed was that Akie and Ryuno were at the other table, and Mrs. Mariko and your husband were at the table next to us."
When Okata said this, the person who was named after the name nodded quickly because this was a proof of absence and an opportunity to clear the suspicion.
Looking at the three people who did not appear at 8:12, Okabaya said: "Reducing the scope is a way to find out the murderer, and the three of you did not have direct absent proof at the time of the incident."
"The murderer is absolutely impossible to be our Ichiro!" Mariko stepped forward and quickly defended her son. Behind her, a thin and trembling young man remained silent.
Xia Jiang's uncle Qi Ben Sheng Er also came out to explain: "I was in my room at that time, so I didn't appear in the restaurant. If I suspect that I was the murderer for such a reason, it would be a bit of a joke."
The last suspect is Xiao Wu, who had just married Xia Jiang, who had enough motives among the three of them, both in terms of murder and had sufficient time for committing the crime.
He looked at Okata, his eyes full of gratitude. If this forensic doctor had not appeared, he might have been treated as the murderer and then imprisoned. It would be difficult to clear the suspicion at that time.
"Let's talk about the corpse first." Okabaya didn't want to listen to their explanation, because humans are best at eating and sleeping, but lying.
Ogata pointed to the fatal wound on the abdomen of the deceased and connected the inferences I had said before: "I said before that, normally normal people would definitely choose a place where the fatal wounds were killed with one blow. However, the murderer chose an unusual angle to start. If this position is shallower or the deceased Mr. Izumizo is younger, there may be a possibility of rescue."
"The depth of the wound reaches the fifteen centimeters of the skin and flesh, and penetrates the intestines and stomach. Judging from the cutting area of the wound, the murderer chose a very sharp knife. Generally speaking, there are three types of sections where the blade can cut the human body!"
"The first type is blunt cutting. The second type is sharp cutting. The third type is slipping into cutting! Judging from the width of the knife edge and the performance around the wound, it should belong to the third type. Usually this kind of knife is used for food treatment." Okabaya said lightly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed and they looked at the three suspects in surprise, and they could directly recall the second one of the two.
"The width of the blade is much wider than that of an ordinary fruit knife, so it is very likely to be a professional cutter for cooking. Otherwise, with the strength of the first move, it will be difficult to stab the blade into the human body so deeply."
Seeing that everyone took the initiative to avoid Shimoto Suoji, Okabaya sighed at the ruthlessness of the family and said, "But the murderer is not Mr. Suoji, because it does not match his murder law!"
"What?" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened. Could there be any law for killing people? This is the first time I heard of it.
