Chapter 408 The Regrettable Current Situation (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"Hey, what happened over there?"

"I heard there was a murder!"

A huge crowd crowded outside the cordon, peeping into the fence.

Most of them were nearby residents who heard the sirens and came out to see what was going on.

As long as they don't cross the cordon

Mu Mu Shisan was not qualified to drive them away.

and

He couldn't care about these little things now. The corpse in front of him was the worst thing.

Kill and dismember the body.

The nature is too bad!

Absolutely outrageous!

Megure Thirteen has been a criminal policeman for so many years, but he has never encountered a few dismemberment cases. If Sakaki Cheng hadn't suddenly contacted him,

Will Fumito Takase, who is at large, continue to commit crimes?

It's so heartbreaking

The personnel from the forensics department are conducting a preliminary inspection of the scene. As for the body.

It's just not what they're good at.

"Report!"

Half an hour later, Detective Demi came back with an on-site report:

"Megure Police Department, we found no other suspicious items in Takase Fumito's house!"

"The deceased's fingerprints were not found either!"

There are no fingerprints, which means that the deceased has never been to Takase Fumito's home. This is consistent with the premise he said, but

Maybe it was wiped off by him.

The body was chopped into two halves, and the forensics class was unable to determine the cause of death!

Being able to conduct fingerprint detection is already a huge psychological pressure.

It is no exaggeration to say

This was the most tragic scene they had ever seen.

"Can't the body be tested?"

Mumu Shisan asked:

"We need to know the specific cause of death!"

"this"

Detective Demi was in a very difficult position:

"Memu Police Department, you know that our forensic department is not responsible for autopsies."

"How about tentatively identifying Takase Fumito as a suspect, applying to the court for a judicial autopsy permit, and then handing it over to the forensic doctor?"

He made a sound suggestion.

In Japan, in order to improve the credibility of appraisals, the police, prosecutors, judges and appraisers must separate their powers during the process of initiating and implementing appraisals and accepting appraisal conclusions.

In other words, if the police catch a suspect, they need to be handed over to the public prosecutor.

Public prosecutors have the power to investigate and can initiate investigations on their own without the police, which is often done in reality.

It should be noted that both the Japanese police and prosecutors have the right to independently conduct investigative activities.

The police have the initial and primary obligation to conduct criminal investigations, while prosecutors can ‘investigate any criminal case’.

That is to say

Once the police investigate a case, they must submit the case, along with the case file and evidence, to the prosecutor.

but!

If the suspect is caught on the spot, the police can arrest him if the evidence is solid or he confesses.

At the same time, because the Metropolitan Police Department is subordinate to the National Police Agency, and because the National Police Agency is the "public security" that maintains national security, its power overrides that of the Prosecutor's Office.

In layman's terms

The prosecutor's office needs to look at the police department's face.

The Metropolitan Police Department is subordinate to the National Police Agency and local police headquarters (such as Osaka) enjoy independence and autonomy, which has also resulted in a phenomenon:

The prosecutor's office's presence has been diluted.

Originally, when the three agencies were established, the Japanese government hoped that the three agencies would restrain each other, and in order to prevent one of them from becoming dominant, they were given different powers in a ladder-like manner to demonstrate the majesty of the legal system.

result

Ahem, everyone knows what happens next.

The Japanese judicial system has become chaotic for more than a day or two.

This is also a major reason why Megure Thirteen and others agreed with the private detectives to intervene in the case.

As long as the criminal is caught red-handed, the case does not need to be transferred to the prosecutor's office (the credit has nothing to do with them).

Who wants to be criticized by others for the cases they take over?

so.

Megure Thirteen also invited Mouri Kogoro over.

There is no way, the distance is too close. It only takes 5 minutes to walk from the office to Takase Real Estate.

"Memu Police Department, I heard that a murder occurred?"

Mouri Kogoro, who was slightly drunk, staggered over the cordon and let out a loud belch.

"Ah, brother Maori, how much did you drink?"

Seeing him looking drunk, Mu Mu Shi San was not angry but happy.

Who doesn’t know his title of Sleeping Kogoro?

It’s so easy to fall asleep after drinking too much!

"It's harmful, not much, just a dozen bottles."

Mouri Kogoro waved his hand.

At this time, Sakaki saw.

Conan also wandered along.

yes

Without him, where would the sleeping Kogoro be?

When no one was prepared, Conan slipped into the wooden house and went to investigate the scene.

Not long after, he ran back with a pale face and hid behind Mouri Kogoro without even farting.

"Did you find anything?"

Sakaki glanced at him and asked softly.

"Don't vomit. Don't talk to me."

Conan covered his mouth and looked ugly:

"I just had dinner."

have to.

Brother Kudo is afraid that he can't count on it.

I still have to take action myself.

Sakaki moved his shoulders, put on his white gloves, stepped through the wooden door, and came to the body.

The pieces of the corpse have been gathered together by the forensics class and neatly stacked on the table.

Takase Fumito was only halfway through the chopping up of the body, and the right half of the body and the woman's head were still intact.

With strong psychological support, Sakaki planned to conduct a preliminary autopsy.

What, you mean dissection tools?

Yeah.

Looking at the messy corpse, Sakaki Makoto thought:

Maybe it's not necessary.

"At 9:35 pm, start the first inspection."

Calibrate the time, Sakaki Makoto said softly.

Everyone in the forensic department stopped what they were doing and looked at him blankly.

Sakaki Makoto

Holding a high-intensity flashlight in his left hand, holding the head of the deceased with his right hand, took the forensic department's ruler and began to observe carefully:

"Female, unknown age, roughly estimated to be between 20 and 35 years old, height 157, medium to thin physique."

"The rigor mortis is not serious, no livor mortis was found."

"The time of death is about more than 1 hour, within 3 hours."

Before, Sakaki Makoto once said that livor mortis is a phenomenon caused by blood falling after death, depositing in the blood vessels under the body, and seeping into the skin.

The female corpse in front of him

The blood has been drained.

Sakaki Makoto sighed.

His specialty is not autopsy, but he has always had someone to help him.

According to scientific statistics, 1.3 million people die in Japan every year, and 150,000 people die of abnormal causes. As of 2015, the autopsy rate in Japan is 0.3%.

Compared with Sweden's 95% autopsy rate,

it is as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean.

The autopsy rate for abnormal deaths in Japan is only 11.7%, which means that only one out of every ten bodies of unnatural deaths will be autopsied.

What about the others?

Suicide, accident.

Some relatives of the deceased will even pay to entrust the forensic department of a private university to perform an autopsy on the body.

Is it because the police are not doing anything?

There are certainly reasons for this, but the most important point is that

in Japan, almost no one is willing to be a forensic doctor.
