Institute of Unnatural Death
Director Yasuo Kamikura had just hung up the phone. The police station put forward their views on the leakage of the case, which coincided with his own.
There was a leaker in the research institute. This case had originally attracted the attention of the police station, and they were preparing for a secret investigation, but it was ruined by Shishido Riichi.
Misumi Mikoto and Nakado are examining the body of Miss Kikuchi in the autopsy room. They have never been able to determine the real cause of her death.
The deceased was found in a suitcase and there were no signs of decomposition on the body, so they initially determined that the time of death was within 48 hours.
Because the food in the stomach of the deceased was abnormally putrid, they attributed the cause of death to poisoning. But so far, not only have they gained nothing, they are also surrounded by reporters outside.
The professor in the middle hall has been sitting on the chair, and the scene where his girlfriend was killed kept popping up in his mind. As a forensic doctor, he could not find out the reason why she was killed. Even because of his relationship, the forensic identification was invalidated, and everything was lost. It was like a sharp sword constantly penetrating his scarred heart.
Who is it?
Zhongtang's eyes were red, his breathing became heavy, and an irritable mood rose in his heart. The thought of murder kept appearing. He must kill this sinner with his own hands.
Mochizuki was following Officer Megure and his team to the research institute at this time. The forensic identification report has not been completed, and the police have no other clues, so they can only check here.
And because of the special nature of this incident, Mumu Shisan brought Mochizuki over before going on the mission.
The people in the Unnatural Death Research Institute who know the most about the case should be the Zhongtang department. As family members of the victims, they have been secretly pursuing the truth all year round. There may be information that others have not noticed.
"No poison was found in the body of the deceased, but there was a large amount of botulinum toxin in her stomach. The cause of death is still under investigation."
As the inspector this time, Mikoto Misumi was reporting to Officer Megure, while Mochizuki was staring at the Nakado Department.
After not seeing each other for a day, she always felt that something was wrong with this person. He seemed to be a bit similar to someone she had met before, but she just couldn't remember it for a while.
Miss Orange Celery's body has been sent to the body freezer, and Mumu Eleven secretly signaled to Mochizuki, wanting her to see if the soul of the deceased was still there.
Mochizuki nodded and followed the police officer to where the body was stored.
"How come there's no smell?"
Mochizuki was a little surprised. Two days had passed since the deceased was found, and several days had passed since he was brought to the research institute. Even if it was placed in the body freezer, there should be some slight decay, but this body looked like it had just been Like death.
As a police officer with a medical degree, Mochizuki still had some common sense. There was something wrong with this body, as if it had been embalmed.
The Nakata department member ran over from his seat, pushed away several people from the police station, and inspected the body with Mikoto Misumi.
It was true that no decomposition had occurred, and they had been investigating the cause of death but had overlooked the most obvious features of the body.
"How about it?"
Mumu Eleven asked in a low voice. He was really at a loss now. He had some reasons why the case developed like this.
Mochizuki shook her head regretfully. Apart from the abnormal decomposition of the body, there was no other useful information, and the ghost also disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be formalin?"
After Mikoto Misumi roughly inspected the corpse, she spoke hesitantly. Formalin itself is highly toxic. As long as the prisoners inject low-concentration formalin into the body of the deceased, they will not pay too much attention during the autopsy. In this way, The cause and time of death of the deceased are concealed.
"The police once found a dead ant at the death scene of Ms. Orange Celery. The cause of death was formic acid, so they didn't take it seriously. Now I think it was probably caused by formalin solution. The deceased was at least dead. It’s been several months.”
Misumi Mikoto found the identification result of the death of the ant from a pile of test reports and handed it to Megure Eleven.
"So, botulinum toxin was not the cause of death, formalin was. Botulinum toxin multiplied after the death of the deceased."
The Zhongtang department looked excited. The stomach of the deceased was a natural anaerobic environment, which just gave birth to those bacteria.
Mochizuki took the appraisal report and flipped through it. If it was because of the formalin, the time of death of the deceased was wrong, then she was thrown there because the murderer deliberately provoked them.
"Ahem"
Mumu Eleven really didn't want to interrupt their academic exchange, but time was running out, and he just wanted to know the murderer's information.
"Officer Megure, what is the place where the deceased was found used for? Does anyone usually go there?"
Mochizuki walked to Memu Shisan and asked in a low voice.
“There used to be a tavern there, but it hasn’t been run for a long time.”
"So it's an empty room and anyone could get in."
Memu Shisan nodded. It was indeed true. If it hadn't been for a fire, I don't know when it would have been discovered.
"what is this?"
Miho Sato picked up a few pictures placed on a table. They were all manuscripts, but they didn't seem to match the people here.
A pink hippopotamus?
"Where were these found?"
The face of the Nakata department changed drastically. This was the work that Yukiko talked about on the phone before she died. After her death, the police did not find these things. There is a high possibility that these things were taken by the murderer. Now that they appear here, it means The murderer appears.
"On the table, where else could it be."
Miho Sato pointed to the desk in the corner. She had been checking nearby and inadvertently saw these things. She originally thought they were the work of the institute's employees, but looking at other things, it was obviously not the case.
"This is the seat of an employee of your company. There seems to be something interesting on the table. Don't you want to take a look?"
Mochizuki walked over and opened the file bag on the table. It contained information about several deceased persons, including various ways of death. The information was so complete that the person who prepared this information seemed to be watching right next to the murderer.
"Rokube Rokuro, how come you have these things?"
The Nakado Department rushed over and grabbed Kube Rokuro by the collar. Mochizuki handed the information to Megure Thirteen. The police station did not have any of these death information and it should have been treated as suicide.
"Mr. Shishido gave this to me. He just wanted to know who the murderer of this case was, so he investigated these things."
Rokuro Kube looked at the Nakado Department guiltily. He also thought about telling the people at the research institute, but his status did not allow him to do so.
Mochizuki and Megure Thirteen are not interested in the internal affairs of the institute. At present, they just want to know who the murderer is.
Shido Riichi has done so much, and even handed the evidence to the police in a roundabout way, so he must know who the murderer is, but what is his purpose in doing this?
