Doctor Player Chapter 228
Raymond’s face became heavy.
In fact, he hates both Seytil and the Four Queens.
Especially in the case of Seytil, how much was wrong with him? In a way, it could be said that he was punished by heaven.
‘But that doesn’t mean I can just leave the devil bastard alone to do such a terrible thing.’
If this is what Cairn did, then Cairn has crossed the line.
He had to pay the penalty.
“all right. We will definitely catch the real culprit.”
Raymond nodded firmly.
4 After sending the queen away, a full-scale autopsy began.
Seytil was lying in a splendid coffin dedicated to royalty.
It was the first time in Raymond’s life that he had seen Seytil’s calm face like that.
It was only then that I realized that Seytil had died.
‘The cause of death is head trauma.’
There seemed to be no need for an autopsy.
The head that had been hit was sunken.
It was a fatal injury.
“Shameron-sama, please make a video of this wound.”
“I understand, sir.”
For reference, Shameron was a wizard who majored in the light attribute.
Taking videos and storing them in magic tools was his specialty.
Afterwards, Raymond touched the body and was shocked.
‘Is there still warmth left?’
According to witnesses, Seytil’s time of death was around 9:00.
It is said that he was found and moved after 1:00 in the morning.
Simply put, he had been lying down on a cold night for over four hours.
‘It’s about 10 am now. It’s been over 12 hours since he died, but he still feels so warm?’
I took my rectal temperature and it was 33 degrees.
My body temperature did drop, but considering it had been over 12 hours, it was too high.
“I’m sorry, Shameron. Please record what I just said. 10 o’clock now. Rectal temperature of 33 degrees.”
“Yes, I wrote it.”
Raymond decided that it would be more advantageous for the Mage Tower to leave records rather than himself in the future trial.
Even Cairn wouldn’t be able to ignore the record written by the Magic Tower.
The autopsy continued, and several things were found that did not make sense.
‘Has the lower limb stiffness not progressed yet?’
The stiffness proceeds downward from the neck.
12 hours is the time when stiffness came to the hands and toes as well as the lower limbs.
However, the lower limb joints were still soft.
An even more crucial oddity.
‘Can’t you see the mobility Siban?’
Sivan.
After death, blood collects in the direction of gravity, forming large spots.
According to the testimony of the witness, since the body was moved after being left for about 4 hours, there should be two types of spots.
A spot that appeared when I first fell down and a spot that appeared after moving and changing posture.
But there was only one kind of spot.
‘Are there still speckles that haven’t even fully fused yet? Has it been 12 hours? It makes no sense.’
The meaning of these clues was one.
The time of Seytil’s death was around 1:00 AM, not around 9:00 AM, as witnesses testified!
‘Earl Roden came to me as soon as he killed Seytil!’
Raymond clenched his fists.
Perhaps Cairn tried to kill Seytil around 9:00 PM when Raymond was alone, but Seytil didn’t move as he wanted, so he didn’t get it right.
So it seemed like I was telling a false time.
‘Anyway, with these clues, I can clear my name.’
Raymond asked Shameron to memorize and record all the clues he had just uncovered on video.
“Is it done?”
Duke Leif asked.
In this world, forensic science is a completely unknown discipline.
Not only Duke Rife, but everyone else didn’t understand what Raymond was doing.
“No, not enough yet.”
Raymond shook his head.
yes it was lacking
This is just a clue to clear the frame.
“We need to get clues to catch the culprit.”
Raymond said firmly.
Next it was time to check the scene.
* * *
The scene of the incident was literally a deserted back alley.
Fortunately, the site has been well preserved.
Because it was the place where the royal family died, all the people shunned it.
“Meet Your Excellency Duke Leif, Marquis of Fennin!”
The knight guarding the scene saluted.
Raymond let out a groan.
The walls of the alley were splattered with blood.
‘You have to look closely. That way, I can estimate the situation at the time.’
It was the moment when I wanted to grit my teeth and investigate.
A gruff voice was heard.
“Can I join you too?”
It was Count Roden!
“What about you?”
Rife’s eyebrows twitched, but Earl Rowdon didn’t back down.
“I am the head of security for the capital city. I have the right and duty to observe this investigation.”
Of course, it was because of anxiety.
It was to keep an eye on what kind of investigation Raymond was doing.
Duke Raif asked Raymond with a look in his eyes, and Raymond nodded after thinking about it.
‘It’s better. If you keep it by your side, you might get an important clue.’
Raymond said to Shameron.
“It is part of an investigation, so please keep a record of all our future conversations.”
Recognizing Raymond’s intentions, Shameron’s eyes lit up.
They intend to use the conversation they are having now as evidence in the future.
Raymond looked at the bloodstain.
‘If you figure out the shape of the bloodstain, you can infer the incident at the time.’
It was ‘blood pattern analysis’, a field of forensic science.
It is to reconstruct the current situation by physically inversely calculating the distribution of the length of the bloodstain in the direction of the tail.
The scene at the time came to Raymond’s mind as he looked at the bloodstains.
Raymond asked Count Roden.
“According to the witness, how did the culprit hit Her Highness?”
“…It is said that they had a fight and swung a mace from the front… …No.”
Earl Roden hurriedly raised his words in the fierce gaze of Duke Leif.
Even if he was a prime suspect, the crime had not yet been confirmed, so it was only natural to raise his voice.
“Then, Her Highness Seitil must have been beaten while standing?”
“of course…That’s right.”
Raymond’s eyes lit up.
‘Wrong. Looking at the direction of the blood vector, Seytil was struck on the head while lying down.’
I remembered what happened yesterday.
Seytil was drunk on something.
It was clear that the culprit had attacked as he stumbled and leaned down.
This made it clear again that the perpetrator had given false testimony.
“Can you see the instrument that killed Her Highness Seitel?”
“that….”
The Duke of Life stepped in.
“What are you hiding? Please bring the necessary materials for the investigation.”
“…bring it.”
A knight of the guard brought a mace wrapped in cloth.
Single rod size form.
It was a mace for self-defense that healers used most because it was easy to carry.
“It’s the same mace you usually carry, Marquis Pennin.”
As the saying goes, they look exactly the same. The old parts were the same.
After keeping an eye on Raymond’s mace, it seemed that he had prepared something as similar as possible.
However, Raymond wasn’t simply trying to determine the type of weapon.
‘It’s difficult to determine the culprit with only the clues so far. I need more conclusive clues.’
If his guess is correct, there must be conclusive evidence in the tools used in the crime.
Indeed, Raymond found a part of the mace that was stained with blood.
there was!
conclusive evidence!
‘With this, I can determine the culprit!’
“Could you leave a magic video of Shameron’s crime tool? In particular, please enlarge this area to leave as much detail as possible.”
“What are you doing?”
Count Roden asked with a puzzled face.
Raymond smiled.
“I’m trying to leave a record for a more accurate investigation.”
Earl Roden hesitantly shut his mouth.
A look of uneasiness crept over his face.
‘no. There’s no way I can find the culprit like that. Don’t be anxious for nothing.’
So, what does it mean to leave a bloodstain as a record?
It was so in the knowledge that Count Roden knew.
But unfortunately for him it meant a lot.
This is because the area Raymond pointed out was not a simple bloodstain.
The conclusive evidence to confirm the culprit was hidden in the bloodstain.
* * *
Some time has passed since then, and the long-awaited trial day has arrived.
‘It’s finally the day of fate.’
Cairn looked in the mirror and smiled.
The time has come to declare doom to old Raymond.
Cairn acted as the king’s authority and took the judge’s seat dressed as a Supreme Court judge.
“The trial will begin.”
There were many people sitting in the auditorium.
Perhaps it was a trial that could decide the fate of the kingdom.
From Princess Sophia to Chancellor Galman Leif and others. Most of the powerful people in the kingdom were present to observe the outcome of the trial.
Raymond stood in the defendant’s box, and the Earl of Rawdon came forward as the accuser.
“To protect the identity of the witness, Count Vaughn will speak on behalf of the witness. I solemnly swear that everything I said today was heard by witnesses.”
personal protection.
Raymond had already noticed that Count Roden had eliminated the witness. It would be better if there was at least one mouth that knew the truth.
“As many have witnessed, there was a quarrel between Lord Seytil and the Marquis of Pennin on the streets of the Orange Quarter about 8:30 in the evening.”
Count Roden looked around the courtroom leisurely.
“Afterward, according to the testimony of the witnesses, there was a second quarrel in a deserted back alley around 9:00, and the Marquis of Penin struck Her Majesty Seitel on the head with a mace, and at this time, Her Majesty Seitil died from the wounds.”
The audience groaned.
All those who supported Raymond responded that it was nonsense.
There were also those who poured booing.
However, the nobles of the Cairn faction laughed coldly.
“As expected, you were hiding that true color.”
“Even the way you cared for others was all pretense.”
“If you’re an illegitimate son, that’s right. I’m scared that I’ve been tricked by a guy like that all this time.”
Looking at the audience, Cairn twisted the corners of his mouth.
“Does the defendant have anything to say?”
It was a soothing voice.
There was no possibility that Raymond would produce evidence to turn the situation around.
However, Cairn was taken aback.
Raymond didn’t look frightened at all.
Rather, the eyes seemed to be eager for something.
‘what?’
Then Raymond said,
“May I ask you for one thing before the trial?”
“May I use my right of nobility to ask someone else to defend me?”
“of course.”
It was the noble’s right to hire an attorney to defend him.
“Who are you going to appoint as your attorney?”
Cairn looked at the figures sitting in front of the audience.
The lawyer must be knowledgeable, so Christine Sophia Rao. It will be one of these.
But a completely unexpected voice answered.
“I will be in charge of the defense of the Marquis of Penin, who will soon be your teacher.”
corner of the courtroom.
A beautiful woman with a gorgeous appearance rose from her seat.
