Chapter 202 170. Another murder case (seeking a monthly ticket)
At the strong request of Kujo Sakurako, the forensic doctor, everyone went to the School of Medicine Affiliated to Shoei University with different psychology.

In addition to being able to see the same exterior scene as the day before, at the gate of the medical school, everyone saw a long-haired woman in a windbreaker standing under a cherry blossom tree. She held a cigarette while pressing something on her mobile phone, and from time to time Looking around, his expression was a little impatient.

Obviously, this is the Jiutiao forensic doctor of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Miss Kujo..."

When Li Ming was about to adjust his mood and wave to say hello, he was interrupted by Jiu Tiao who was in a state of irritability.

After seeing the visitor, the woman first raised her eyebrows disdainfully at Kurosawa Mitsuka, then put the phone back into the pocket of her windbreaker, unceremoniously pulled the corner of Li Ming's somewhat worn clothes, and headed straight towards the medical school. Walk inside the courtyard.

"Mr. Li Dang, it is completely wrong for you to dissect a corpse without my permission. I told you yesterday that I would send Miss Baichuan's human tissue to the medical school for my testing, but you just didn't listen. Isn’t there common sense? The more time passes, the less information you get.”

"Hug, I'm sorry..." Li Ming felt a little embarrassed by such a scolding, he couldn't help but move forward, while scratching the back of his head, he smiled apologetically.

At the same time, Li Ming also noticed the dark circles on Jiutiao Yingzi's face, all signs indicated that she stayed up late last night.

I didn't realize that Ms. Kutiao is quite concerned about this case...

"Forget it, I've already noticed that you're like this, you're busy dating, aren't you?" Kujo smiled mockingly, "Young man, you still have a long way to go in life, don't waste your time on dating and wait for the case to be resolved After it’s over, there’s plenty of time to fall in love.”

"Who, who is in a relationship...!" Li Ming frowned and defended, "The Kurosawa chaebol to which Ms. Kurosawa belongs is related to the Shan Baimeng case. Is it normal to investigate the case with me?"

"You're still a young lady, tsk tsk, I can't see that such an unattractive guy as Mr. Li Ming has such a womanhood." Jiu Tiao laughed lightly, covering his mouth with one hand, "What's wrong with this world."

Li Mingzheng was going to continue to defend and refute, but he suddenly realized that Kurosawa Mika who followed him seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

Turning around, she saw Kurosawa's slightly red cheeks and a reproachful expression: "Why are you looking at me? Looking at the road?" Then she turned her head to look at Kujo Sakurako and snorted contemptuously, "Stop thinking about the relationship, you old leftover girl, hurry up and do your own work well."

"Tsk."

Jiu Tiao clicked his tongue impatiently, stopped suddenly at a certain place, let go of Li Ming's clothes and went straight to Heisawa.

"Wait...!" Seeing this, Li Ming suddenly felt bad, and was about to stop the war between the two, but found that the development of the matter was not what he thought.

Kujo just took away the human body tissue container of Ms. Baichuan's corpse from Kurosawa's hand as if to blame, and turned around like a triumphant triumphant, and walked into the room next to him. Everyone followed closely and saw the nameplate in front of the door saying "Laboratory" 004".

"Ha... Speaking of which, this is the place where that old friend worked." Kujo muttered to himself as he cleaned up the dusty workbench in the laboratory, "There are so many memories left here. .”

"Old friend, who is it?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, and said, "It can't be your old friend, can it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a celibate, and I'm not interested in these things." Kujo didn't express his anger at the young man's teasing tone, but explained in a calm tone, "This is my teacher, who died The place where Mr. Yamahakumu, who was caught in the fire, used to work."

"Since it is a place of work, shouldn't it be protected by the police? As part of the crime scene." Yuan Qingyu asked curiously, "Why is it still in use?"

"Ha...Mr. Shan Baimeng is a professor of medicine at Shangying University. Although his death has touched the entire medical community and the school, the meeting held in the university in a few days is obviously more important."

Kujo looked a little regretful, with some anger mixed in.

"So it is impossible for anything to go wrong at this time. The original office will still be put into use, and the items and samples used by the deceased will be taken over by different people."

"It's really annoying, they are completely disrespecting the dead! Mr. Sanbai worked so hard for the conference held by the university, but it ended up like this. No one will remember Mr. Sanbai's death. They will only rush to the treatment Al The progress of the drug for Alzheimer's disease."

"It's really irritating, but please calm down, Doctor Jiutiao, if you keep waving like this, I'm afraid you will disturb the laboratory where the deceased works?" Li Ming raised his hand, trying to appease the woman in front of him.

Kujo didn't seem to intend to be calm, but instead gestured more violently: "This is a rotten society, isn't it?"

"Yes, you said before that the laboratory was taken over by someone else. Can you tell me who this person is?"

Seeing that direct appeasement didn't work, Li Ming decided to change the subject.

"I borrowed it from Mr. Kurosawa's assistant, that guy Masaharu Sato." Kujo paused, "But if I remember correctly, this Sato seems to be Mr. Yamashiro's assistant before his death."

"Ah?" Li Ming and Kurosawa Mihua exclaimed in unison.

If what Dr. Kujo said is true, then things seem to have become more subtle, but there is no direct evidence yet, so we still have to slowly figure out the case itself.

"Then do you know Mr. Sato?" Li Ming showed embarrassment, after calming down his mood, he asked tentatively.

"I'm actually not very familiar with him. I haven't had much contact with him since I borrowed the laboratory yesterday."

After Kujo finished wiping the last corner, he finally opened the container and placed it among the equipment on the workbench.

"I said a long time ago that laymen like you don't understand the beauty of anatomy at all, and this knife technique is like a dog chewing on it." Kutiao mocked unabashedly, "Even if I throw you in the kitchen Cooking, will also be scolded several times by the head chef."

Just as Jiu Tiao was scolding, Yuan Qingyu, who had nothing to do, discovered an important clue. He nudged Li Ming beside him with his elbow and signaled with his eyes.

Li Ming turned his head to look impatiently, but was surprised to find that there was an unremarkable door in the corner of the laboratory. After gently turning it open, he found that this door was leading to Shan Baimeng's office.

Standing at the door and looking inside, the layout of the office is exactly the same as yesterday, and there are no useful clues, only some chemical equipment and books.

It is estimated that the production office will not be handed over to others for use in a short period of time. It should be a thought left by this school for those who are still alive.

——Of course this is just Li Ming's guess.

When people think about any kind of thing, they always think in a good way, and who knows if going to Ying University will be so kind?
"Hydrodiazide, do you know what it is?" Dr. Kutiao spoke to the air while operating the experimental equipment, and then replied self-consciously, "Hydrodiazide is a colorless liquid with a pungent smell. , is an explosive, very stable to heat, but explodes upon impact, and is often used as a detonator, so I suspect that the cause of death of the Shanbai couple is related to this substance."

"But... I didn't find traces of poisoning such as hydrodiazide in Bai Chuan's lungs." Kujo raised the test tube in his hand and stared at the energy-saving light, "But I unexpectedly found a poison in the blood. It is a component of an anesthetic, and it is a highly effective anesthetic commonly used in medical treatment."

Anesthetic?
The cause of Miss Bai Chuan's death was not poisoning...

what is it?

When he was in a daze, Doctor Jiutiao had already finished all the tests, he simply cleaned his hands, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.

The people present didn't know who the caller was, they just heard the busy signal on the phone, and it was like this several times. Doctor Jiutiao shrugged and kept the key to the laboratory without any burden.

After a busy morning, everyone discovered that Shan Baimeng's death might not be that simple, and Miss Shirakawa's death seemed not that simple either. Who hurt Shan Baimeng and his wife?And even a little maid who managed to escape must be put to death...

And just when everyone was struggling with this, a phone call was made to Li Ming, who is a policeman, and Jiu Tiao.

In the anxious voice of Ms. Kido, another murder case appeared in front of everyone——

Kuranosuke Shirai was found dead at home in the city.

At the same time, under the shadows, everyone felt some discomfort in their necks, as if something was biting them.

Perhaps it was the God of Death who had quietly raised his sickle.

Li Ming was obviously more anxious than anyone else, he explained to the two people behind him, and then went to the crime scene of Shirai Kuranosuke alone.

They can no longer continue to act in such a concentrated manner, which may waste a lot of time, and may not get any clues.

In other words, he can no longer drag them down.

When Li Ming received the call and Kujo Sakurako rushed to the scene, Miss Kido and Saito Sorin had already arrived at the scene. This was Shirai Kuranosuke's mansion, which was located in an apartment near Shangying University.

Seeing the arrival of the police colleague who is fully in charge of such cases, Saito took the lead in giving a police salute, then took out a stack of blank papers from the folder held in both hands, and handed it to the young man in front of him: "This is currently the police department's master Please have a look at the detailed information about Shirai Kuranosuke."

Li Ming squinted his eyes and frowned: "Has the crime scene been completely protected? It's still the same as last time. Don't let anyone in, no matter if it's the relatives of the deceased or people related to Shan Baimeng. It's getting trickier and we can't afford to waste time like this."

"Understood, please explain any instructions you have at any time." Saito stood aside respectfully, waiting for the order.

"Kuranosuke Shirai, male, 94 years old, widower with one son, once worked in animal protection in South America, and never returned.

His granddaughter Shirai Naoko is studying at Shangying University, and now she has returned from leave after hearing the news of her grandfather's death, and is currently cooperating with the police investigation.

Shirai Kuranosuke himself is an entomologist. He studied life sciences at Shoei University. After graduation, he continued to study for a doctorate. He later worked on campus as an honorary professor in charge of auxiliary research work on entomology. His institute The main direction of research is insect behavior. "

"...What does husband mean?" Li Dang frowned. He didn't know the word, so he pointed at the words on the white paper and asked the man in front of him.

"In contrast to this word, there is also a widow, that is, a woman whose husband has passed away and is not yet married." Saito coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "so widower means that the wife has passed away but is not yet married. man."

Widow should mean widow, right?

Li Ming stood on the spot and looked at the extended cordon in front of him, looking thoughtful.

"The deceased Shirai Kuranosuke died in the stairwell of this apartment. Forensic doctor Jiujo has already started the autopsy in a white coat and gloves. Officer Li can wait for a while." Saito nodded.

"There's no need to wait any longer, just like what Li Ming said, we can't waste any more time."

Kutiao wears a mask and uses it for two purposes.

"Shirai Kuranosuke's body was face down, his hands were naturally spread out behind him, his legs were placed on the steps with unnatural bends, and fractures may have occurred.

After examination, the obvious trauma on the corpse included mandibular contusion, cervical spine fracture, right little finger fracture, ring finger and little finger interweb tear, left hand back contusion, three upper ribs broken, lumbar sprain, hip bone fracture, right leg calf bone Broken bones, sprained knees.

The fatal injury is suspected to be a forced brain injury caused by a cervical spine fracture compressing a nerve. "

"Judging from the crime scene, the deceased is suspected to have died as a result of slipping down the stairs. Through the luminol reagent spray color development, it can be seen that there are varying degrees of blood stains on the steps from the middle level to the upper level of the stairs. Most of the blood stains are in the form of wipes. The height difference between the highest blood stain and the corpse is about two meters."

Jiutiao forensic doctor stood up, as if secretly calculating something in her heart, her eyes wandered, looking at a certain corner.

"The highest temperature in Ikebukuro today is 33 degrees Celsius, and the body temperature of the deceased is [-] degrees Celsius... It can be calculated from the simple cooling coefficient of the corpse. The death time of the corpse was about five hours ago, that is, it happened around nine o'clock this morning. .”

"Corpse cooling factor? What does that mean?" Li Ming asked curiously.

"This should be common sense, Mr. Li Ming. This is just a simple formula for calculating the time of death."

Kujo impatiently took out a blank piece of paper, wrote and drew on it, and handed it to the young man.

"The time of death is equal to... 37 degrees Celsius minus the temperature of the current corpse, and the difference is divided by the product of 0.83 and the seasonal coefficient, of which the spring and autumn coefficient is 1, while the winter coefficient is 0.7, and the summer coefficient is 1.4."
