Sakaki Makoto's words left Megure Jusan and others completely confused.
In their opinion, it is normal for people who died in a fire to have carbon ash accumulated in their mouths and respiratory tracts.
but.....
There was only a very small amount of carbon ash in Ota Kunimatsu's mouth.
Doesn't this just prove that Ota Kunimatsu had been killed before the fire?
Could it be...
What's the hidden story behind this?
"Brother Sakaki Makoto, please stop keeping us in suspense!"
Megure Jusan said:
"Why is Ota Kunimatsu the fire starter?"
"It's simple, shock!"
Pushing his sunglasses, Sakaki looked toward the ceiling and said:
"In a fire scene, high-temperature flames or hot air currents will act on the sensory nerve endings of the skin, causing severe pain and leading to primary shock through nerve reflexes!"
"Just like on the battlefield, when a soldier is hit by a gasoline bomb, he will first howl in pain, run around, and finally suddenly fall to the ground..."
"When the soldier fell to the ground, he was not dead yet, and his vital activities were still going on, but..."
Pursing his lips, he added:
“It’s a very painful and long process.”
Primary traumatic shock, also known as acute traumatic neurogenic vascular failure, refers to the strong mechanical stimulation of the peripheral afferent nerves on the body surface or internal organs, causing abnormal sympathetic or parasympathetic nerve reflex function, leading to microcirculation disorders in vital organs and death.
In simple terms...
When areas rich in nerve endings such as the carotid sinus, upper abdomen, spermatic cord, and vulva are hit fatally, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, fainting, bradycardia, or even cardiac arrest.
Dying in pain is a real way to die.
so...
When boys go out, they must protect their important parts and be careful of impact from broken testicles.
Everyone looked at each other, still not understanding what the shock had to do with fire...
"Hmm..."
Conan bowed his head in deep thought and said:
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, are you saying that Ota Kunimatsu was burned alive?"
"The fire was accidentally started by him during his struggle?"
“That’s right!”
Nodding heavily, Sakaki Makoto said:
"This is also the reason why, although Ota Kunimatsu was burned to death, there was no carbon ash left in his mouth, nose, throat, or stomach!"
If we infer this...
The reason for the severe carbonization of the corpse was also found.
"Is it possible that Ota Kunimatsu was killed first and then burned to destroy the body?"
Takagi Wataru, who had been taking notes, raised his hand and asked:
"This way, there won't be too much carbon ash left in the corpse's mouth..."
"Blood."
Glancing at him, Sakaki Makoto replied:
“People are fragile, but also strong.”
"There are only a few ways to kill a grown man."
"Fire can destroy most clues and evidence, but it cannot completely eliminate the blood residue at the scene."
At this point, he paused and pointed to the body's cut stomach:
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ota Kunimatsu was poisoned, so..."
"I'm just going to cut open his stomach and do a preliminary drug test."
"What about cyanide?"
As a good student, Takagi Wataru successfully asked 100,000 whys:
"If Ota Kunimatsu was poisoned by cyanide first and then the criminal set the fire, there shouldn't be any trace left either."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Sakaki Makoto was really stumped by the question.
He was convinced.
Takagi Wataru asked one question after another, each one was tricky and difficult to answer.
Now the cause of death is even linked to cyanide...
Without professional equipment, it is difficult to check whether there is cyanide residue in the body...
but...
"The probability of an inmate using cyanide is low."
Miss Miyano, who had been watching coldly, came over and answered Sakaki Makoto's question:
"In the final analysis, cyanide kills by paralyzing the respiratory muscles, causing loss of central nervous system function and organ failure."
"And the bodies that died from cyanide poisoning all have one common feature!"
His eyes lit up and Sakaki Makoto knew what she wanted to say.
yes!
How come I didn’t think of such a simple point?
Just like Kamikawa Minamio who was almost poisoned to death by cyanide, if Ota Kunimatsu was also poisoned by cyanide, his mouth should be completely open.
There are two ways of breathing:
Inhale through nose and mouth.
Breathing is an essential part of maintaining life. When one channel is blocked, people will inevitably use another way of breathing to absorb oxygen.
For example, rhinitis can cause capillary dilation, narrow cavities, and difficulty breathing.
Makoto Sakaki once did an experiment:
He pinched the nose of his sleeping companion and found that after a short period of stillness, the other party's breathing method changed from nose to mouth, and at the same time...
Wake up.
This phenomenon shows that the two breathing methods of the human body can be switched freely. It is a muscle reflex and can be carried out even without consciousness.
so...
Anyone poisoned by cyanide will open his mouth wide, trying to breathe.
However, Ota Kunimatsu's body did not make such movements, and his mouth was pried open by Makoto Sakaki himself.
"I see..."
Takagi Wataru nodded, took note of what Miss Miyano said, and asked again:
"Is it possible that it was suicide?"
Sakaki Makoto: “..........”
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to hit Takagi Shigeru with a stick.
