In this scenario a person that has been dead for less than 10 days is Reincarnated. Their old body is still there. Someone then casts Speak with Dead on the body.
Question: Would the Speak with Dead spell work?

Yes
Speak with dead clearly states that:
This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit.
Which comes to mean that the corpse itself is animated as a sort of puppet, retaining the memories it organically had while it lived. Since this is separate from the soul, the now reincarnated guy wouldn't even know this was happening.

Hello @Overthinks, not really, it gets a 'animating spirit', but from the wording I think it's more like a foreign magical entity rather than something native to the corpse.
