Bai Quanyi gave a prepared answer:

"Akanobashi's body is the best evidence."

Although Akano Kakutake's body was stuck under the wheels, the train only crushed his lower limbs, and his upper body remained intact.

This left a sufficiently complete sample for autopsy:

"His lips and fingertips were cyanotic, and there were a few hemorrhages on both conjunctivae—"

"These are all typical features of death from asphyxiation."

The answer is obvious.

If Akano Kakutake had simply committed suicide by jumping off the tracks, or had been pushed off, he would have simply died from being hit or crushed by the train.

Then why did he have these symptoms of suffocation?

"The presence of these signs on the body indicates that the deceased must have been in a state of insufficient blood supply, asphyxiation and lack of oxygen."

"That's why I suspect Akano Kakutake died of sudden cardiovascular disease caused by emotional excitement."

Bai Quanyi expressed his guess, but added cautiously:

"Of course, to verify this conclusion, in addition to a simple external examination of the body, a comprehensive, detailed, and systematic autopsy is necessary."

"If the autopsy reveals pathological changes of coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemic changes, or cardiomyopathy, or other pathological changes that may lead to sudden death..."

"And rule out other causes of death, rule out sudden death caused by poisoning..."

"Then we can prove that Akano Kakutake died of sudden death caused by emotional excitement, and not from being run over by a train."

After hearing such a scientific and detailed explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

But someone still asked with concern:

"Then Mr. Bai, is it possible that Akano Kakutake was pushed off the platform when he was having an attack?"

"Perhaps his condition wasn't that serious, and he wouldn't have died suddenly."

"But he happened to be pushed off the track and died tragically under the wheels—"

"This could still be a murder."

"This..." Daye Yuemin's face darkened when he heard this.

Baiquan Yi also sighed helplessly:

"The possibility you mentioned is not impossible."

"But the presumption of innocence is innocence. Since there was no evidence at the scene to prove the deceased was pushed off the platform, we cannot subjectively pin the murder charge on Mr. Daye."

"That's the first question you asked."

"As for the second point you mentioned, I might be able to give an answer."

The man speculated that Akano Kakutake's illness might not have been fatal, and that the real cause of his death was the collision and crushing by the train.

"But the autopsy results showed that:"

"It is highly likely that Akano Kakutake died of sudden death from illness rather than being hit or crushed by the train."

"First of all, the train had already slowed down significantly when it entered the station."

"Although the remaining force was still enough to knock Akano Kakutake back, judging from where his body landed, he wasn't thrown very far. It's easy to see that the impact wasn't as strong as everyone imagines."

"The most crucial thing is that the deceased had only one occipital impact injury on his head, caused by the collision with the ground during landing, and the injury was not serious - at least, not serious enough to cause instant death."

There was only one impact injury on the head caused by landing.

This means that the subway did not directly hit Akano Kakutake's head at the beginning, and did not injure the most fatal vital part.

Judging from the severity of Akano Kakutake's head injury, the first collision with the front of the subway car and the impact with the ground when landing would not have killed him.

After that, the train braked suddenly and slowly moved forward, brutally running over his thigh.

"This kind of injury, comparable to being cut in half, is truly fatal."

"But it can't kill people instantly."

"Human life is more tenacious than we imagine, so those who die in rail traffic accidents often struggle extremely painfully before finally dying."

"So the hands of the deceased found in train accidents are often clenched into fists."

"That's just their natural reaction to severe pain."

"But Akano Kakutake didn't react that way."

"His arms were stretched out, and more importantly, he didn't utter a single scream during the entire process from being hit by the train to his legs being crushed by the wheels."

"This..." Everyone unconsciously thought of something:

Indeed... at that time they only heard the sound of a collision, the sound of brakes, and the screams of the passengers on the scene.

But the victim, Akano Kakutake, never uttered a sound.

His thigh was run over by the wheel, and his entire lower body was crushed...

Such excruciating pain is enough to wake up an unconscious person.

But he didn't even scream.

He died silently like that.

At first, everyone speculated that Akano Kakutake might have been killed by the subway when he was hit by the front of the train.

But Bai Quanyi proved through his injuries that the collision did not hit his head at all, and the force of the impact was limited, so it was not enough to kill him.

If that's the case, then why is Akano Kakutake completely silent?

Could he even endure the pain of having his thigh crushed by a wheel?

"He certainly 'bears' it."

"Because the dead cannot feel pain."

As he spoke, Bai Quanyi produced more reliable scientific evidence:

"So the reaction to Akano Kakutake's head wound was extremely weak, and the congestion of the skin flap was not obvious."

"This suggests that even if he wasn't dead, he was already in a critically ill state – his heart had already stopped beating when he fell from the platform."

Bai Quanyi almost completely restored the entire process of the crime.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

He used facts to tell everyone that the main cause of Akano Kakutake's death was sudden death caused by emotional excitement, not the collision and crushing of the train.

And there is no evidence at present to show that Akano Kakutake was pushed off the platform.

“So it seems that:”

"It was just a pure accident."

"The one who killed Akano Kakutake was actually..."

"he himself."

Well, it's him.

Although it was Miss Haibara who took the lead in breaking down Akano Kakutake's defense, the fans present joined in the ridicule and mockery of him, which made him so angry that he had a heart attack.

But this can only be blamed on his own lack of attention to health preservation, poor health and bad temper.

This war of words was started by Akano Kakutake himself from the very beginning.

Whether it was Shiraizumi Mashi, Haibara Ai, or other fans who participated in the war of words, they were just passively fighting back against the troll who was firing the map cannon.

Their behavior did not go beyond the boundaries of verbal conflict, did not constitute personal injury, and had no necessary causal relationship with Akano Kakutake's death.

No matter how much they try to shift the blame for Akano Kakutake's death, it can't be taken from them.

of course……

If the family of the deceased makes a fuss, it can cause them a lot of trouble.

"So, there is actually no murderer in this case."

"It was just a simple accident."

Bai Quanyi gave his conclusion solemnly.

He also did not forget to cast his gaze towards Daye Yuemin, who had been anxiously awaiting the truth:

.. ... ...

"Mr. Daye Yuemin..."

"I can prove that you didn't kill anyone."

“This…this is great…”

Daye Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally had the mind to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead:

"So this is how Akano Kakutake died..."

"I was so angry that I died..."

"In that case... he, he can be considered to have received retribution, right?"

Daye Yuemin looked at the knife hidden in her bag with mixed feelings.

He almost... became a murderer.

Now the enemy who killed his brother is dead.

His mood was complicated.

Although I feel happy about the death of my enemy.

But the fear of imprisonment and the regret of despair just now could not be faked at all.

Daye Yuemin finally revealed a relieved smile.

He hadn't forgotten who had helped him find the truth and freed him from the undeniable suspicion of murder:

"Mr. Bai——"

"Thank you!"

The case ended with his relieved gratitude.

The crowd of onlookers who had finished eating the melons gradually dispersed.

Conan went home first with his three friends from the Junior Detective League.

Daye Yuemin cooperated very well and stayed at the scene, waiting for the police's follow-up investigation.

Bai Quanyi was not in a hurry to leave, because he needed to wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to arrive and then complete the formal on-site investigation procedures for the case.

I saw that at some point, Haibara Ai ran to the TV in the subway station alone. Like the other fans who were also gathered in front of the screen, she looked up and stared intently at the pictures on TV.

It was a football game.

"Higo Ryusuke tied the score for BIC Osaka with this brilliant, crucial goal!"

"Let's give him our warmest applause!"

For a moment, there was thunderous applause and cheers.

Through the TV broadcast, we can see that all the audience at the scene were applauding the player Higo Ryusuke.

It turned out that the previous BIC Osaka team game was still going on.

Higo Ryusuke, who had always been labeled a "traitor" and regarded as a public enemy by all the fans, also won everyone's recognition with his outstanding performance and strength in this game.

The audience who had been booing him unconsciously put aside their prejudices and applauded him from the bottom of their hearts.

The so-called betrayer finally found his home.

Although Shiraizumi didn't understand the game, he could still vaguely feel the warm and moving atmosphere when he saw Higo Ryusuke crying amidst the cheers.

"This guy, he looks pretty good..."

"..."

"Not a bad ghost!"
