Here we go again!
The Japanese Police have been publicly ridiculed once more!
You are still a criminal suspect, aren't you? Is it really okay to be this arrogant?
The police officers present all had stiff expressions, and even the calm Inspector Megure had a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
But Lin Xinyi had no intention of giving his Japanese counterparts any face:
"Do you think this is a detective novel?"
"If you have to rely on a detective even for the most basic scene investigation work, then the police are as redundant as the extra pair of chopsticks included with takeout!"
"Especially you, Patrolman Komatsu!"
Lin Xinyi focused his criticism on the police officer Komatsu, who was acting as the coroner:
"Your ability does not match your profession at all."
"I truly doubt how you even managed to graduate from medical school?!"
It wasn't that Lin Xinyi was being nosy.
As a former Forensic Doctor, he could not tolerate the existence of such incompetent people among his peers.
You can pretend to understand things you don't when you're the President, but not as a Forensic Doctor.
Forensic Doctor is not an ordinary profession; if the practitioner is just a half-baked charlatan, the deceased's voice cannot reach the world, the truth will be forever concealed, and justice cannot be upheld.
Seeing Patrolman Komatsu's incompetent performance now, Lin Xinyi felt an inexpressible frustration:
Must a detective do everything?
You are the police officer, you are the Forensic Doctor!
Of course, in reality,
Lin Xinyi was being overly serious.
If he knew what kind of world he had transmigrated into, he would know:
In this world of detectives, the capabilities of the police are inherently weakened to the extreme.
Otherwise, if the police truly possessed the criminal investigation capabilities and technological means of the real world, even just installing a few more surveillance cameras on the streets would solve ninety-nine percent of cases, leaving no room for the Famous Detectives to shine.
Besides that, there was another practical reason for Patrolman Komatsu's "incompetence":
"I never attended medical school."
Patrolman Komatsu scratched his head sheepishly:
"To be honest, I should only be considered a part-time Coroner."
"Because our Forensics Department's Autopsy Unit has always been understaffed,"
"So we have to pull personnel from our Scene Investigation Unit to handle some simple Autopsy Work part-time."
"Huh?" Lin Xinyi was stunned: "This kind of work can be part-time?"
In fact, this was just him being ignorant of the situation.
Forensic Doctors are scarce talent in any country, and even more so in Japan.
It takes six years of medical school education to become a Forensic Doctor, just like a regular doctor.
And the income level for doctors in Japan is consistently at the top of all professions, with an average annual income of 12.32 million yen. Talented and experienced doctors can easily earn 20 to 30 million a year.
Yet, Forensic Doctors who also studied hard in medical school for six years earn less than half the average income of doctors.
Furthermore, compared to doctors who have stable promotion channels, the path to promotion for Forensic Doctors is particularly difficult—there are few of them to begin with, and if one gets promoted to an official position in an office, who will be the "cog in the machine" responsible for frontline Autopsy Work?
The gap between these two professions is visible to the Naked Eye.
Not to mention that tuition fees for Japanese medical schools are extremely high; finishing six years at a private medical school can cost tens of millions of yen.
A person who chooses to be a Forensic Doctor instead of a doctor might not even earn back their tuition after a few years of Work.
Low income, tiring Work, difficult Promotion, and dealing with corpses every day—smart medical students would not choose the profession of Forensic Doctor.
"There are only 150 Forensic Doctors in all of Japan who hold a Physician's License."
"It's simply Unrealistic to expect a Forensic Doctor to Appear at the scene of every Case."
Patrolman Komatsu sighed helplessly:
"So the consistent practice of our Metropolitan Police Department is to have part-time Coroners like me handle the most basic Investigation Work, such as preliminarily judging the Cause of Death and Time of death, and completing Evidence collection and Scene Investigation."
"Only if we discover unresolved doubts in the Case details will we Commission the Science Police Research Institute, or a cooperating university's forensic research lab, to conduct in-depth Autopsy Work."
"I understand."
Lin Xinyi quickly calmed down:
Indeed, Forensic Doctor is a difficult, niche profession everywhere.
Although much better than the situation in Japan, in his previous life, the entire Public Security Bureau only had just over 11,000 registered Forensic Doctors, responsible for all Criminal Cases in a country of 1.4 billion people.
As one of those Forensic Doctors, he was naturally busy every day.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Xinyi decided to take the opportunity of "living again" to switch to a relatively relaxed profession, to experience that kind of peaceful daily life.
"Since that is the case,"
After clearly recognizing the serious inadequacy in the Japanese Police's Autopsy capability, Lin Xinyi pondered briefly and finally said in a deep voice:
"How about I perform the preliminary Autopsy Work for you?"
"You? How can that be allowed?"
Patrolman Komatsu's eyes widened in shock:
You are still the criminal suspect in this Case; how can we casually let you touch the Corpse?
Right, this guy is still a criminal suspect.
How did he unconsciously seize the initiative, first standing there being scolded like a grandson, and now obediently listening to his commands?
It wasn't just Patrolman Komatsu; even the surrounding crowd watching noticed something was off:
Lin Xinyi seemed to possess a special Demeanor, one that made people trust him unconsciously.
This Demeanor was hard to describe.
But Ran could instinctively describe its image vividly: "Mr. Lin Xinyi's Demeanor looks very similar to Shinichi when he is deducing."
This was actually the focus and Confidence revealed by Famous Detectives when pursuing the Truth.
Without confusion or Blankness, the detective's gaze always guides everyone toward the Truth.
And it is the same for a Forensic Doctor.
With this special charm, Lin Xinyi said very Calmly:
"I won't mess around."
"If I tamper with the Corpse right under the noses of your police and that Famous Detective, wouldn't that be seeking death?"
"But..." Patrolman Komatsu hesitantly cast a look toward Inspector Megure beside him.
"Brother Kudo?" But Inspector Megure instead cast an inquiring Gaze towards Shinichi Kudo, who had been lost in Pondering beside him.
Lin Xinyi suppressed the urge to complain about the Japanese Police taking direction from a High School Student and also looked at this Heisei's Sherlock Holmes.
Clearly, Shinichi Kudo's word was the most effective right now.
But Shinichi Kudo did not give a direct answer; he just asked curiously, with Doubt, and a hint of unwillingness:
"Is it necessary to continue the Autopsy?"
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, didn't you already discover the decisive Evidence ahead of me?"
Subconsciously, he heavily emphasized the four words "ahead of me."
Clearly, this long-unfelt lag in Deduction had already ignited Shinichi Kudo's strong interest in Lin Xinyi.
And Lin Xinyi naturally ignored the competitive Gaze of this young man:
"What decisive Evidence is there?"
"You must know that the biggest taboo in Forensic Work is Preconceived notion; even with a preliminary judgment on the Case details, one must absolutely not relax the Autopsy Work because of it."
"Because the next piece of Evidence discovered might overturn the previous speculation; this concerns the deceased's dignity and the execution of justice, so vigilance must never be relaxed."
"For example, like this Case right now..."
Lin Xinyi paused slightly and pointed at the shattered limbs on the plastic sheet:
"Anyone would immediately think this is a vicious Homicide Case, believing there must be a Murderer who committed Murder and Dismembered the body, right?"
"But actually, if you observe the Corpse carefully, it's not hard to discover..."
"Huh?"
The crowd watching interrupted Lin Xinyi's speech with a gasp of disbelief:
Are you saying this might not be Homicide?
This is a Dismemberment case; the deceased was cut into many pieces, and the Corpse isn't even fully recovered.
With the Victim reduced to this state, what else could it be if not Homicide?
These Doubts were clearly written on their faces and visible in their eyes.
But Lin Xinyi completely ignored these gazes filled with opposition.
He pointed at the pieces scattered on the ground and stated forcefully:
"That's right, based on my preliminary observation,"
"This is a Suicide Dismemberment Case!"
