The road in the forest is not easy to walk, let alone run.
Fujiwara Yu put down the bucket and walked through the woods with his long legs. The leaves scratched his cheek without noticing it. He just prayed that the cause of the scream was not an accident involving casualties.
However, after arriving at the base, judging from the panic expressed by Morishita Liaoping and others when they looked at the tent, Tamamori Yasusu, who was not present, was probably in danger.
"what happened?!"
Ozaki Chehei, who was still calm, turned his head and pointed his trembling fingers into the tent. He swallowed and then spoke clearly clearly:
"Assistant, assistant, he...he died in the tent."
Fujiwara Yu quickly took out dust-free gloves from his pocket and put them on. He pushed away Morishita Ryohei who was crowded at the door but did not dare to enter the tent to confirm. After reaching out to confirm that Assistant Tamamori was not breathing, he calmly began to conduct a preliminary autopsy.
The three people standing outside the tent did not expect that the 20-year-old Fujiwara Yuu would be so courageous. Morishita Ryohei, who finally recovered, ran to the luggage he had carried and took out the SLR camera used for investigation and evidence collection.
.
Because there is supposed to be an exercise simulating a murder scene tonight, everyone has the assigned survey tools. After Morishita Ryohei carefully put on his shoe covers and gloves, he stood at the door of the tent holding a SLR camera.
Said aloud:
"Fujiwara-kun, do you need my help to take some photos of the scene?"
"Do you dare to see the corpse? If not, I will take pictures."
If you want to become a police officer, you must have the courage to face a corpse. Besides, this corpse is not that scary. Morishita Liaohei, who was born thin, showed a firm expression. He bent down and got into the tent and said seriously:
"It's okay, I can do it."
Fujiwara Yuu was slightly surprised and glanced at Naaka Tanihara and Teppei Ozaki, who were huddled outside the tent and did not dare to come in. Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance. Ozaki, who was covered in muscles, was a coward.
His eyes returned to the body in front of him. There was an obvious contusion on the temple. From the glass shards at the wound and the smell of alcohol spreading in the space, it was not difficult to judge that the wound was caused by a bottle hitting the head hard.
Forming.
There were also broken beer bottles and a large amount of yellowish liquid that had not been absorbed by the waterproof fabric at the scene. The murderer did not choose to clean them up. It seems that he should have worn gloves when committing the crime. There should not be any valuable information on the beer bottles.
"The amount of bleeding from the temple is indeed very large, but the real cause of death is this tie." Fujiwara Yuu explained while loosening the tie. He continued: "There is an obvious groove in the neck, which is located below the throat in a horizontal circle.
, the width is consistent with the tie, and it can be determined that the murder weapon is this tie."
After Naoka Tanihara, who was still sobbing, heard the professional terminology of this scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said curiously:
"Fujiwara-kun, did you study forensic medicine in college?"
"No, psychology."
"Then you are really amazing." Naoka Tanihara stepped forward, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"No, the space is limited. If you come in, the only light will be blocked."
Embarrassed, Naoka Tanihara had no choice but to exit the tent and stood outside silently watching.
Ozaki Teppei felt that as the oldest person present, he had to do something, so he ran to the place where the luggage was placed to find a flashlight and handed it to Fujiwara Yuu who continued to survey the scene, which could be considered a help.
After taking all the photos of the scene, Morishita Liaohei wiped the sweat from his forehead. He got out of the stuffy tent, looked at the obviously dark sky, and frowned:
"Why don't we try to contact the school first? There's no telling what murderer is hiding in the forest. We don't have cell phone signal right now. It's really dangerous!"
"Yes, I agree, how about I go to the car and take a look first?"
"There's no need for that."
Ozaki Chehei turned around in confusion and looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu who said this. He frowned and said in confusion:
"Zhufu-san, what do you mean?"
"After I heard the screams, I ran to where the car was parked and looked. Three of the four tires were directly damaged and it was impossible to use them again."
Zhu Fu Jingguang put down the bucket he had retrieved. He lowered his head and stared at the sweet fish in the bucket. Is their current situation different from the fish in the bucket? Trapped in an uninhabited mountain forest with no signal or transportation.
.
"Then, aren't we in danger now?" Naoka Tanihara looked around with an ugly face. If a murderer suddenly rushed out and attacked them, how should they respond, and how should they contact the outside world for help.
"There is indeed danger, but this danger does not come from the outside." Fujiwara Yudan walked out of the tent calmly, looked at the three people in front of him with a cold face, and told the truth that everyone was unwilling to accept: "...but it comes from within.
.”
Danger comes from within? Doesn’t this sentence mean——
"That's right, it's what you think. The murderer is between us, not a murderer hiding in the mountains and forests." Fujiwara Yu looked down at his watch, and after confirming the time, he asked aloud: "So I
I would like to hear your alibi for the period from 16:10 to 16:30."
"Why this time period?" Ozaki Teppei asked puzzledly.
"The corpse only showed a state of cold corpse, and no rigor mortis or spots were produced, which means that the time of death did not exceed an hour. And why the death time can be accurately estimated to be about half an hour, the beer bottle told me."
"beer bottle?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang tacitly carried the portable cooler he was responsible for carrying. He opened the box and took out a can of cold beer and explained aloud:
"It takes about an hour to take the beer out of a 0-degree environment and return it to normal temperature. But since it is summer and the temperature inside the tent is higher, the time can be shortened to half an hour."
"Yes, the beer fragments and the beer liquid remaining at the scene have not yet fully returned to normal temperature. This means that the eruption time is about half an hour, and the time when the scream was heard just now is 16:49, so this time period is used
There is no problem." Fujiwara Yu's eyes lingered on the three people in front of him, obviously trying to observe from their expressions whether they would lie when telling their alibi.
But his idea was still in vain, because Ozaki Teppei, who was the first to tell his alibi, was very honest and directly stated that he had no alibi at that time. Naaka Tanihara, who was in Group A with him, expressed that he was not feeling well, so he
I went to collect firewood in a distant place alone.
But after he finished speaking, his eyes did fall on Morishita Liaoping, and he frowned:
"Speaking of which, Morishita-san, you have been at the base all along, right? Didn't you see the murderer? Or heard any strange noises?"
"If I had seen the murderer, I would have told him earlier. The strange movements seemed to be... hmm? Wait, why are you all staring at me? Don't you think I will kill Assistant Tamamori?"
As Morishita Liaoping spoke, he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He quickly turned his attention to Fujiwara Yuu for help. He felt that the only more reliable students present were Fujiwara and Morofushi who arrived later.

“I don’t even dare to kill fish, how could I possibly kill someone!
