Think about it carefully.
This is his son!
He is determined to seek justice for his son!
" Araki, are you sure that an autopsy will definitely find the murderer?" Uchiha Nanagen'u asked coldly.
"No." Araki immediately shook his head and said, "As I just said, I can only investigate the real cause of death and let you know how Ueki died. As for finding the murderer, that's your Konoha Military Police Force's business. Whether you can find the real killer of your son depends on your own abilities. I'm just providing you with some clues."
"I understand." Uchiha Nanagen'u took a deep breath. If Araki had given his assurance, he would have found it suspicious. He then said, "I can agree to let you perform an autopsy, but it must be done under the watchful eyes of all of us. You cannot tamper with the body."
"That's fine."
Araki nodded, then turned to Jiraiya and said calmly, "Anyone is welcome to watch, including Lord Jiraiya. You are all witnesses to this autopsy."
Count me in.
Just then, the masked Anbu Ninja who had been there for some time suddenly spoke. His face was covered by a mask, so his expression was not visible, but everyone knew his identity.
"I'm Anbu Ninja in charge of disposing of corpses, so I know quite a bit about them. I'll be watching your every move, and I hope you don't do anything you shouldn't, or I won't let you off the hook!" the Anbu Ninja threatened.
"No problem." Araki nodded.
"Interesting! I never expected to witness an autopsy! I thought you medical-nin only knew how to save lives, but I didn't expect you to know about corpses too!" the Anbu Ninja said meaningfully.
" Araki, stop talking nonsense and get started. If you can find the real culprit who killed the Ueki, I, Nanagen'u, will owe you a favor!"
Uchiha Nanagen'u urged impatiently.
actually.
When Araki pointed out those two suspicious points.
He was already thinking that the culprit might not really be Mikoto, but things had come to this point, and if he admitted his negligence, it would be difficult to end the matter.
Furthermore, he had absolutely no clue about the real culprit.
If Araki could point out some clues to help him catch the real culprit, then he would be able to vent his anger.
Ultimately...
What he wanted to do was not simply solve the case.
Or they could just arrest anyone to solve the case.
Such behavior wouldn't be unusual in other cases, except that the person who died was none other than his son.
at the same time.
Uchiha Nanagen'u muttered to himself.
If you can help me find the murderer, then he guarantees that the entire Konoha Military Police Force will no longer investigate the case involving Sora Hyuga.
Even now, the Konoha Military Police Force doesn't care at all.
But in essence, if something suspicious is discovered like today, it's still worthwhile to continue the investigation.
He made his decision.
Everything depends on Araki's performance.
Chapter 13 Another Orochimaru!
In an instant.
A consensus was reached on site.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Araki, eager to see what kind of test this young man could produce.
" Araki..."
Kushina's face was full of worry. She hadn't expected things to become so complicated. If it were a battle, she would have great confidence in Araki. However, what was involved now was not a battle, but an autopsy and clearing Mikoto's name. This kind of thing had never happened before.
That's why.
She wasn't sure either.
I've never seen a case like this before, and I have many questions in my mind, but I can't explain it at all.
"I'm fine."
Araki nodded slightly to Kushina, then looked at Minato and, sensing the latter's concerned gaze, nodded in return.
Finally, Araki's gaze fell on Jiraiya.
"Go ahead and do it!"
Jiraiya gave Araki an encouraging smile; in this matter, all he could do was offer his disciple the greatest support.
After all, he had no understanding of Medical Ninjutsu.
Furthermore, this disciple is also Tsunade's disciple.
Even though he wasn't very familiar with Araki's Medical Ninjutsu, he still had a lot of confidence in Tsunade.
"Thank you Jiraiya-sensei!"
Araki nodded silently, and after receiving approval from almost everyone, he began to walk towards the direction where the Uchiha Ueki.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked closer and closer until he was Ueki.
"Um?"
Araki suddenly frowned, sensing something was amiss.
"Did you find anything?" Uchiha Nanagen'u asked urgently.
"The clothes he wore Ueki were too clean." Araki squinted. He was at a loss for words to describe the capabilities of the Konoha Military Police Force. Such an obvious problem, and not a single person had noticed it.
"What do you mean?" Uchiha Nanagen'u didn't understand immediately.
" Ueki. He was wearing a gray casual outfit, and there was blood all around him, clearly a sign of severe bleeding. Yet, there wasn't a drop of blood on his clothes." Araki said, turning to look at Uchiha Nanagen'u, and continued, "Blood was splattered all over the ground, but it didn't get on his clothes. Isn't that strange?"
"This..."
In an instant, everyone present realized what was happening, and they all looked towards the clothes on the Uchiha Ueki.
The gray clothes looked somewhat dirty and disheveled, as if there had been a struggle, but there wasn't a single trace of blood, as if they had avoided the splattered blood.
This is indeed unreasonable!
However, the current Konoha Military Police Force were unable to detect these anomalies in the first place, which makes the incident seem somewhat strange now.
"Then, then, then, what exactly killed the Ueki?"
Uchiha Nanagen'u's tone became tense as he began to piece together what Araki had just said.
The bloodstains splattered around the area were in an unmarked, blank space.
There was no blood on the clothes.
It's something no normal person would do.
Is there some incomprehensible entity at play?!
"Could it be that the murderer killed him while standing on the Ueki, thus concealing the area and preventing blood from getting on the clothes of the Ueki climber?" Jiraiya asked after a moment's thought. Everyone, including him, had their thoughts stirred by Araki.
"The possibility is extremely small."
Araki shook his head, not giving a definitive answer. He pointed to the Ueki and said, "The blood splattered at the Ueki is very even, but there's none on the person. If someone were standing here to shield themselves from the bloodstains, they wouldn't have done it so thoroughly or avoided it so meticulously."
"Why is that?" Jiraiya pressed, perfectly capturing the thoughts of everyone present.
"I've thought of a possibility, but I'm not sure. Let me examine the bloodstains first."
Araki didn't examine the corpse that Ueki; instead, he looked at the bloodstains on the ground. This strange behavior left everyone present bewildered.
that's all.
The scene was extremely quiet.
No one spoke.
Everyone watched Araki's movements.
My mind was filled with big questions, and I wanted to know what was going on.
A dozen minutes later.
Araki returned, a knowing look on his face.
"I've made a rough judgment. The blood on the ground was probably poured there by the murderer. It was a staged scene, likely set up after Ueki died and while Mikoto was unconscious, with the aim of framing Mikoto. As for the bloodstains at the scene, I suspect they weren't from Ueki, but a definitive conclusion still requires examining Ueki's body," Araki said in a deep voice.
"What's the reason?" Uchiha Nanagen'u frowned and said, "You can't just say whatever you want; you need to provide a reason."
Upon hearing Uchiha Nanagen'u's words, everyone nodded in agreement; they couldn't be fooled by Araki's few words.
"The reason is simple: the splattered blood forms a circular or oval shape with a spiky pattern around it. The spiky pattern indicates the direction of the blood splatter. For example, blood dripping vertically will splatter in a circle, while blood sprayed at an angle will splatter in the direction of the spiky pattern, as if it were being flung out."
Araki explained in a deep voice that he needed to explain to the people of the ninja world in a way that was easy to understand.
Essentially, it's just inertia.
When blood splatters, it is subject to both an outward force and the force of gravity during free fall. The combination of these two forces causes the blood to splatter out at a certain angle.
When blood collides with the ground, the part that first touches the ground will remain in place due to friction, while the rest that doesn't touch the ground will continue forward due to inertia.
It's like a bus driver suddenly slamming on the brakes; the passengers inside will lean forward.
The splattered blood, in its spiky form, looked like passengers suddenly darting out of a bus.
"..."
The people present seemed to understand but not quite, but they all followed Araki's finger and looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and could see that there was indeed such a phenomenon.
The bloodstains on the ground appeared oval-shaped closer to the Ueki, while further away they were spiky, resembling a comet with a trailing tail.
They hadn't studied physics.
However, this phenomenon can still be roughly understood through simple natural science.
"What does this prove?" Uchiha Nanagen'u was already Araki by Araki.
"Look again at the bloodstains on the wall!"
Araki pointed to the wall behind him after climbing the Ueki, which also had splattered bloodstains, making it look extremely gruesome.
