Yes, in Guangyou's opinion, most families in Japan have outdated family values:
A large number of people disagree with dissecting corpses and just want to settle their deceased relatives as soon as possible.
This is the so-called "respect for the dead, and peace in the earth."
In addition, the profession of forensic pathologist has 7 Ks: dangerous, dirty, arduous, strict regulations, no holidays, difficult to get married, and no makeup...
Although forensic doctors are also doctors, their salaries are actually much lower than those of other ordinary doctors.
Few people would choose this job, which is tiring, has a lot of hard work, and most importantly, pays very little.
In addition to these, one must meet many other conditions to become a forensic pathologist.
A combination of factors has resulted in a remarkably low autopsy rate in Japan.
Many murders that are staged as suicides are ultimately closed as suicides due to the victim's family circumstances or other reasons.
Many people who are murdered are forced to have their deaths labeled as "suicides," suffering injustice as they are cremated and reduced to ashes.
A person's life is thus glossed over, and the hidden truth behind it—whether suicide or homicide—is burned to ashes by the fierce flames.
The murderer, on the other hand, can freely drink and eat meat outside, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, he can continue to live a normal life.
Marriage, childbirth, and death from natural aging.
Unlike in China, in certain situations, the public security authorities have the right to decide on an autopsy, regardless of whether the family agrees or not.
Actually, Kwang-woo is the least qualified person to say such things, after all, he used to...
Although many years have passed, he did it, and he can't wash it away. Guangyou doesn't want to, and will never try to wash it away.
Bloodstains on your body aren't so easy to wash off...
Thinking of this, Guangyou frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
"What are you thinking about again?" Ai always noticed the strangeness in Kouyu's expression, even though he would recover quickly.
This made Guangyou feel very warm inside.
It's a very happy thing to have someone who always pays attention to you.
"It's nothing really." Guangyou turned to her and smiled, then put his empty hand under the table, took her smooth little hand, and held it in his palm.
"I've been thinking about this case, and it's becoming more and more suspicious."
I won't tell this girl these things.
“The possibility of suicide is getting smaller and smaller now.” Ai didn’t seem to doubt Kousuke’s words, and said this.
“Okay, let’s keep watching.” Kōyū nodded in agreement. “Anyway, we have a great detective here who’s determined to solve this case.”
Then Kousuke looked at Akashi Hiroto, while Ai ate a small dorayaki while feeling the warmth from Kousuke's palm.
Getting back to the main point, after Yamamura Misao said those words, everyone sitting around the table turned their attention to Akashi Hiroto.
Everyone wanted to see how he would answer.
Among these people, Kōsuke and Conan found the case suspicious and suspected that Akashi Hiroto was the murderer of his father.
Others might have had similar thoughts, but most just wanted to know how Akashi Takeo got that mark on his hand.
Feeling everyone's gazes on him, Akashi Hiroto paused for a second, then thought for a moment before slowly explaining:
"If it's on the wrist..."
"I think it might be a mark left by a rubber band?"
"To be honest, my father has a habit of tying rubber bands to his hands."
"Because he usually uses rubber bands to secure things or tie things up."
"So for convenience, he always wears rubber bands on his wrists so he doesn't have to take them out when he needs them."
“After all, my father is over sixty years old, and it would be quite troublesome for him to travel around.”
"A rubber band?" Kouyu and Conan both frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
The difference between the two is that Guangyou only thought about it for a few seconds before stopping, because he felt it would be better to go to the scene to see for himself.
Conan, on the other hand, kept thinking.
Just then, Yamamura Misao's expression relaxed a bit, and he said, "I knew it."
"So what you mean is..." Sonoko asked after hearing this, "Did you all guess it already?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Yamamura Misao explained, "because we just found a lot of rubber bands under the deceased's pillow."
"So I was wondering if that was the case."
"Oh, just like what Mr. Hiroto said earlier."
"Is that really the case..." Conan's gaze remained fixed on Hiroto Akashi, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.
Having long suspected that the case was not a suicide, he wouldn't so easily believe that the marks on the deceased's hands were caused by a rubber band.
Could the ligature marks have been caused by the deceased having his hands bound?
Very likely.
The current doubts remain unresolved, but they all seem to tacitly reveal the same message:
This case is not simple.
"I want to go to the scene later." Kōyū picked up his cup, took a small sip, and turned to Ai beside him.
"If conditions permit, Ai, could you take a look at the corpse's mouth, especially the bleeding area?"
To find out whether Akashi Takeo has ever seen a dentist to treat cavities, there's no need to go through the trouble of finding a dentist.
The simplest way is to judge by observing the condition inside his mouth.
"I understand." Ai understood what Kousuke meant and naturally agreed.
