"It turned out to be a box containing an emergency survival rope. It was a false alarm."

Mouri Kogoro and others quickly ran over after the box at the stern of the ship, took a look at the burning box, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"wrong!!"

Chen Jun said coldly: "There is someone in that fire!"

"What?"

"Hurry up and get the fire extinguisher." Mouri Kogoro shouted, "crew, save people quickly."

"It's hopeless. I smell gasoline."

The flames on the box gradually extinguished, and white smoke was rising. Chen Jun kicked open the door of the box hard, and when he shined a flashlight, a charred corpse was revealed inside.

Suddenly seeing the corpse, everyone was shocked.

Many passengers, including the crew, couldn't bear to look any further and turned their heads away, especially since the air was filled with a strange smell, or 'smell of meat'

Of course, apart from Chen Jun, there were still a few people at the scene who dared to watch such a restricted scene.

Veteran police officers Samezaki Shimaji and Mouri Kogoro looked normal. The former stretched out his head to look at the dead body and sighed, "Damn it, it's completely changed beyond recognition."

"Now I don't know who he is or when he died."

Conan showed no fear and ran to the corpse with great interest, "We also have an elite forensic doctor here."

Samezaki Shimaji and Mouri Kogoro looked at Chen Jun.

Chen Jun said frankly, "Forensic medicine is not omnipotent!" He seemed not afraid of leaving an imperfect image.

In on-site medical investigation and medical tracking and evidence collection, burnt corpses are the most difficult to perform autopsies. The extensive burn damage and coking of the corpse make it impossible to judge the time of death based on external characteristics, corpse spots, cold corpses and other phenomena.

In addition, the charred appearance of the corpse was damaged, and even the fingerprints were destroyed. It became a major difficulty to determine the identity of the deceased. DNA testing and other methods were commonly used.

But now on a cruise ship, there is no such condition.

If you want to solve the case in a short time, you must conduct an on-site autopsy method.

Chen Jun took out the special milk-white gloves from his pocket and slowly put them on with both hands.

Conan and Kogoro Mori had already seen this kind of ceremonial action twice, and they still couldn't help feeling slightly excited and looking forward to it.

"Ito, do you think this body could be that of Ye Saizo?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

Chen Jun said nothing and began to examine the body meticulously.

In forensic medicine, there are clear grades for the degree of burns.

In first-degree burns, the superficial layer of the skin epidermis is damaged by heat, but the basal red blood cell layer is not damaged. Only local capillaries and arterioles are congested, and the local manifestation is erythema.

Superficial second degree burns…Deep second degree burns

In III-degree burns, significant high heat causes necrosis of the skin, skin tissue, and even muscles and bones, resulting in tissue loss of water, protein coagulation, hardening, brittleness, and black appearance.

IV degree burns, body appeared charred.

This corpse had extensive IV-degree burns and partial III-degree burns.

"...."

"Maybe this is Xie Jiang Shijiu, that tall and thin middle-aged man."

A middle-aged man behind him answered Mouri Kogoro's words. He was thin and he was the former Ebina Natsu.

"Look at his watch. I remember when I asked him the time, he was wearing a gold watch."

Mouri Kogoro looked at the watch on the wrist of the corpse and nodded, "That seems to be his gold watch, and the sweater he was wearing. Although it was burned to a bad extent, you can still tell a bit about it."

"ridiculous!"

The beautiful young woman Miss Isogai stood up with a mocking smile on her lips, "How could it be Mr. Xie Jiang? It's really ridiculous!"

"Is that ridiculous?" Mouri Kogoro said unconvinced.

Miss Isogai said directly, "Look at the posture of his corpse. The upper body is standing up, as if this corpse wants to show off his watch to us. Isn't this suspicious?"

"You said this wrong."

Chen Jun stopped what he was doing, stood up slowly, and exhaled a long breath.

"Why did I say this wrong? Isn't it suspicious?"

"Miss Isogai, it is suspicious, but you are wrong about what is suspicious."

Chen Jundao: "The phenomenon of the corpse's upper body standing slightly upright is actually a common form of thermal stiffness, which is especially common in severe burns over such a large area."

"In a burning corpse, the skeletal muscles solidify and shrink due to heat, causing thermal stiffness."

"There are more flexed muscles in the hands and feet than straight muscles, so all joints will appear semi-flexed, just like a boxer making an attacking movement."

"oh."

"The other thing that's really suspicious is that the body's watch is loose."

Chen Jun pointed to the gold watch that Ebina Catfish just mentioned, "Maybe the murderer deliberately set it up for us to see. This body is not that of Xie Jiang Shijiu."

"No way."

Mouri Kogoro retorted, "It must have been that when he and the body were put into the box, the gasoline can that had been deliberately put inside exploded and the gold watch in his hand flew off."

"Yes, it is possible."

Samezaki Shimaharu agreed, "Because the plastic sheet covering this box seems to have flown off."

"Plastic cloth?" Chen Jun asked.

Mouri Kogoro said: "Yes, when Officer Samezaki and I came to the deck to search Ye Caisan, we found a plastic sheet with emergency escape written on the box."

"You didn't open the box?"

"No, because the box was tied with ropes, so we thought it was impossible to hide Ye Caisan inside. And when we went back, Mr. Xie Jiangshijiu was sitting at the wine table drinking."

“Interesting~”

Chen Jun smiled.

Limited by the information obtained from the corpse, he could not find the murderer at once, which proved that the real murderer behind this scheme had two tricks.

Of course there are only two.

"Ahem!!"

Chen Jun looked around at everyone, "No matter who this body is, there is a clue for everyone to judge. I just found it through the autopsy."

"The victim's face contained a substance, silicone, which is silicone. This chemical substance is commonly used in modern medical cosmetology. Although the body was deeply burned over a large area, it could still be easily discovered."

"This guy has had plastic surgery!" Samezaki Shimaji said in surprise.

"Yes, if I remember what Officer Samezaki said correctly, Ye Caisan once had three companions, but they all betrayed and shot him."

Chen Jundao: "These three people escaped from the police after undergoing medical plastic surgery. If this body is Xie Jiang Shijiu, then the other two people who are brothers to him and get along well with him are Kameda and Whale Well.

Sadao."

"I'm right, Mr. Sadao Whalei."

"When I paid attention to you before, your attitude towards Xie Jiang Shijiu was very familiar. It was obvious that you had just met.

And after you saw the handwriting on the banknote, you panicked and broke out in a cold sweat. What are you afraid of?"

"At least don't sweat when you look at me now."
