Kamio Kaede didn't know whether he was mumbling to himself or communicating with Seto Rei. His voice was not too loud. Fortunately, there was a recorder on the table to record it, so that it could be played again when writing the autopsy report.

"In addition, the knife on the clavicle, in addition to piercing deeply, can also be found that the piercing position is not parallel to the clavicle of the deceased. Based on the height of the woman, it is inferred that the murderer should be higher than the deceased or stabbed in a standing position.

However, I personally prefer the former view, because if it is stabbed in a standing position, the legs will bend unconsciously, the shoulders will collapse slightly, the force of the knife will be greater, and the clavicle should be broken. Based on this, it can be inferred that the height of the murderer should be

Between 1.8 and 1.9 meters tall, he should be a male."

Seto Rei listened without blinking, watching the other person describe the characteristics of the murderer vividly, and swallowed his saliva.

When he saw Kamio Kaede's eyes turning to him, he shuddered involuntarily and barely managed to drop the camera in his hand.

"Why are you looking at me, taking pictures?" Kaede Kamio pointed at the location.

Then he looked at the skull of the deceased.

The skull is small and delicate, and appears pale gray-white under the diffuse light, but it is not difficult to guess that the deceased must have been a beautiful woman during her lifetime.

"Unfortunately, it was too long ago. I don't know if the deceased was sexually assaulted, but I infer that it is very likely. When I meet a beautiful woman, I don't take away her money, rings, and necklaces. It's either for sex or revenge.

But generally speaking, men’s revenge against women usually includes the word assault.”

Kaede Kamio muttered, then picked off the skull alone, weighed it in his hands, and turned it around like a basketball to look at it.

Seto Rei's scalp felt numb for a while, and he thought to himself, you kid can't eat pancakes, so why would you take off someone's head and observe it, and just put it on the dissecting table?

It’s so scary!

Kaede Kamio came closer, almost kissing the skull. He used a magnifying glass to observe the teeth inside. He couldn't see clearly, so he cracked the mandible hard, and the magnifying glass made it clearer.

"The deceased's third permanent molar has completely erupted, with a low degree of wear, no calcification in the root, and the cusp is basically flat.

Taken together, the age of the deceased was not more than 35 years old, probably between 30 and 35 years old. This can be used as the scope of missing persons screening, and the workload should be reduced accordingly."

"In addition, this woman should be very particular about life and relatively self-disciplined."

Seto Rei brought the camera close to his teeth, frowned and took the photo, and couldn't help but said: "Aren't you a pretentious guy? You can see that you are disciplined in your private life?"

"I'm just guessing, and there's no real basis for it." Kaede Kamio shrugged, "But if you think about it, a girl who likes to go to nightclubs, eat and drink, and eat snacks will have more or less signs in her gums or between her teeth.

When tartar appears, even after teeth cleaning, some marks will be left."

Seto Rei nodded thoughtfully.

"And she probably rarely smokes, or doesn't smoke or drink at all. She doesn't often eat snacks or drink drinks, so she maintains a relatively good figure. She is generally medium to thin, about 90 to 100 pounds."

Kaede Kamio put down the skull and used a magnifying glass to study other parts of the skeleton. Except for two stab wounds, there were basically no injuries on the body.

However, there was a very small scratch on the arm, which looked like it was left by some kind of animal.

He asked Rei Seto to take a photo with his camera.

"The deceased woman was of medium to thin build, aged between 30 and 35 years old, and weighed between 90 and 100 pounds. She had no habit of smoking or drinking, and had a regular lifestyle. Her job may be related to computers, as a programmer or writer. By the way, she should

I also had a cat..."

Seto Rei raised his hand and asked, "Well, how do you find out the occupation of the deceased?"

Kamio Kaede pointed to the lumbar region of the skeleton and explained: "From the cervical vertebra to the lumbar vertebrae, the angle of the skeleton is a little distorted, which is obviously caused by long-term sitting. Occupations with long-term sedentary periods are nothing more than editors, programmers, and book writers.

These items can be used as the scope of screening for missing persons."

Seto Rei nodded and asked, "What about raising cats? You couldn't have guessed it from the scratches on your arms, right? What if it was scratched by a wild cat?"

Kaede Kamio shook his head, pointed to the scratch on his arm and said: "The width of this scratch is 2.5cm, which is the size of an adult cat's scratch. The wound of the scratch is slightly wider, and the edges on both sides are not very neat, which shows that the cat's

The nails have been repaired, so he is not a wild cat.

Of course, these are preliminary inferences and cannot be said to be 100% accurate. They only provide a rough scope for the investigation."

Seto Rei said with admiration: "Kamio Criminal is really amazing. So much information can be interpreted from a skeleton that has been dead for almost 15 years. It is really amazing. I think the name of Shibuya Brusher should be given to him.

You are!"

Kamio Kaede smiled, shook his head and said, "It's better not to do that. If you want to be Brusher, just do it. I'm not interested."

After saying that, he took off his latex gloves and hair condom, threw them into the trash can, and turned off the recorder and spotlight.

"At present, these are the clues that can be obtained from the skeleton. As for whether there are any omissions, we will wait until Nakamura forensic doctor is free to come and examine them. But it can be basically concluded that this was a murder that occurred 15 years ago. You can write a report and tell Kitamura

The police department reported it.”

Seto Rei nodded, put away his camera and voice recorder, quickly walked out of the anatomy room, and went back to his seat to write a report.

Kaede Kamio put the white cloth back on the skeleton, turned off the lights, returned to his work station and made a cup of tea, and heard a few people chatting next to him.

"Takase Fumi's case has been reported to the prosecutor's office and handed over to the court for trial. The evidence is conclusive. It is said that President Suzuki has a good relationship with the judges of the court. Now Takase Fumi cannot escape the death penalty!"

"Even if it's a kidnapping and extortion case, and the president's wife dies, it wouldn't be a death sentence, right? Isn't it said that the number of death penalty cases has decreased in recent years?"

"This year is different! It is said that the newly appointed Justice Minister Kamio Naomasa is a ruthless man who hates evil. He worked in the Metropolitan Police Department when he was young, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Justice as an affairs officer. He rose through the ranks until he became the Minister of Justice this year. Since then.

From the beginning of the year to now, he has signed 7 execution orders for death row prisoners, which is the highest number signed by any Justice Minister in history!"

"Then isn't this the Living King of Hell?"

"Hush - let's talk about it, please don't make any noise. It is said that Lord Kamio is too violent and committed too many murders, so he still has no heirs, and his wife also passed away very early.

Now I am all alone. So what if I am in a high and powerful position? I am still alone!"

Kamio Kaede was eavesdropping on the side and felt that these people were really idle, discussing other people's private affairs, just like the old ladies gathering at the entrance of the village.

On the other side, although Rei Seto was extremely timid in the autopsy room, his work efficiency was still quite high. He quickly sorted out the recording data and compiled it into a report.

He took it and gave it to Kamio Kaede to take a look at it, and after making sure that everything was correct, he gave it to Kitamura Auki for review.

Soon, based on the inferences in the report, the Criminal Division conducted screening and interviews on the missing persons in previous years, striving to find out the identity of the skeletons in the shortest possible time.

The investigation continued until the next morning. Kaede Kamio continued to visit the Sakata Town area with printed information and simulated portraits, but there was still no result.

Such an investigation is indeed difficult, because the skeletons have been buried for more than ten years. More than ten years ago, this area of ​​Sakata Town was still a wasteland. Many construction sites were stationed here for construction. There were not even the current small western-style buildings, let alone nearby ones.

residents.

The police officers from the Criminal Division also visited the neighborhood with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but found nothing.

Nothing was found at the burial ground. Hino Satoshi and several old patrol officers who worked with him stayed up all night, digging with metal detectors and shovels, hoping to find the murder weapon of the deceased.

But there are no clues.

Everyone has no complaints about this. If you find it, you will find it. If you can't find it, forget it. After all, more than ten years is too long and things have changed. Even if the murderer had left the murder weapon nearby, it would have disappeared after such a long time.

In the afternoon, good news came from Okudera.

After comparing the missing persons information recorded in previous years and the portraits of the deceased simulated by Kamio Kaede's autopsy, it was found that Yamamoto Nanichi, the former clerk of Kadokawa Magazine, was declared missing by the court in July 2016 and pronounced dead in October 2003.

Hui's identity matches.

Yamamoto Nanae's sister came to identify the relics and confirmed that the ring and necklace belonged to her sister, so the identity of the deceased was established.
