In the absence of professional equipment to protect the on-site extraction of physical evidence, Fujiwara Yu did not further examine the useful information on the remains of Keiryo Maekawa, or in other words, there was no need to continue the investigation except for the form of autopsy.
He grabbed a relatively clean tablecloth from the locker in the classroom and spread it over the body. There were certainly no other protective measures. Fortunately, the temperature on the mountain was low, which was beneficial to the preservation of the body.
But even so, by the time the driver came to pick them up, it would have stunk to such an extent that it was inaccessible.
Yamaguchi Jun looked at Keiryo Maekawa, who was covered by the tablecloth. Just now, he was smiling and holding his shoulder, threatening to catch the murderer in the script. Who knew that the game was not over yet, and he would become the first target of the murderer outside the game...
…It’s such a shame.
He rubbed the non-existent goosebumps on his arms, looked at the silent Takaji Sousuke, and asked cautiously:
"Well, Officer Eagle, do we want to continue to stay here? To be honest, I'm a little hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis in the quiet environment. The embarrassed Yamaguchi Jun lowered his head and covered his stomach.
Who made this guy get so drunk that he vomited out all his food for the day? It's strange that he's not hungry now.
Fujiwara Yu glanced at Yamaguchi Jun with a strange expression, and was still thinking: He looked scared, but he still had a good appetite after seeing the body? I really don’t know if this guy is big-hearted or nervous.
"There is really no need to stay here. Let's come over tomorrow morning and conduct a careful investigation."
"Then let's go quickly!" Yamaguchi Jun said quickly. He didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a second. It always felt eerie and scary.
After the four of them returned to the hotel along the same route, they saw the familiar buildings. Yamaguchi Jun's tense mood eased. After he opened the heavy wooden door and returned to the restaurant, he saw the tired faces of them gathered around the table.
, if he hadn't made a little noise, they might have fallen asleep sitting down.
Uchida Ami rubbed her eyes. She noticed that the number of people did not increase. A bad thought came to her mind. She asked softly:
"Officer Takaji, why are you the only ones back? Maekawa...hasn't been found?"
As soon as these words came out, Maiko Nakayama, who had finally relaxed, straightened up. She nervously clutched the corner of Sugino Takashi's clothes, and cold sweat fell from her forehead. It could be seen that her mood was a bit broken.
"I found it, but I found the body. He is dead." Fujiwara Yu calmly observed everyone's expressions. Except for Nakayama Maiko, everyone had expressions of disbelief. It seemed that there was no way to start from observing the expressions.
, this murderer’s acting skills are very good.
When Kensaku Asano heard this, he grabbed his hair in frustration. He never thought that Keiryo Maekawa would die. What would happen to his mother's medical expenses? If he couldn't get follow-up money, he would have to find a high income immediately.
A part-time job is enough.
Sugino Takashi tried to calm Maiko Nakayama's mood. He didn't know why his fiancée was so afraid. He also had many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he knew that now was not the time. At least he couldn't be the one who made Maiko's mood collapse even more.
However, at this time, there will naturally be "evil people" who will choose to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.
Fujiwara Yu did not wait patiently for Nakayama Maiko to stabilize emotionally. He knew that the murderer's next target was most likely to be her. In order to ensure her safety and figure out what happened that year, he had to figure things out.
He directly opened the empty seat next to Zhongshan Maiko and sat down. Without any foreshadowing or euphemism, he asked bluntly:
"Miss Zhongshan, can you answer my question now?"
"Wha, what's the problem?"
Maiko Nakayama clasped her hands together tightly, and was so nervous that her voice trembled. She did not dare to look directly at Sosuke Takaji, always feeling that his eyes could see through her own ulterior secrets.
There was a faint smile on Fujiwara Yu's lips. He narrowed his eyes meaningfully and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Zhongshan, there is no need to be nervous. I just want to ask if anything special happened when you were studying at Didan High School? For example... a murder?"
As soon as this sentence came out, he clearly felt the change in everyone's expressions. If anyone could rule out suspicion, it was Kensaku Asano who looked surprised and tried to make eye contact with others. This person should have no connection with them.
Those who come here purely to work and make money can be ruled out of suspicion for the time being.
Sugino Takashi's expression was quite natural, he just didn't expect Takaji Sosuke to know about this:
"Officer Eagle Division, how do you know that we were students of Didan High School?"
"I just guessed the relationship between you. Miss Uchida told me the clue about Tedan High School." Fujiwara Yu smiled and nodded in the direction of Uchida Ami, and continued: "Now is my question time,
Please also answer the questions just now."
Several insiders looked at each other, and finally Sugino Takashi raised his hand, like a model student answering a question, and said:
"Let me talk about this matter. After all, there is a very close relationship between the victim and me."
Having said this, Sugino Takashi's mood was obviously much lower. He held his forehead and recalled what happened ten years ago.
"Ten years ago, a murder did occur in Teitan High School. The girl who died was my childhood sweetheart. Her name was Sayuki Saegusa. She was a kind and simple girl. Her body was found in Eidai Town, Koto District.
, We all remember this matter very clearly, after all, the police asked all the students in our class at that time, and I was asked several times about my relationship with Sayuki."
"Then do you know how she died?" Fujiwara Yu pointed to the heart, stared at Sugino Takashi and asked: "Is this here?"
"You...how did you know?"
Sugino Takashi looked surprised. He didn't think someone of Takaji Sosuke's age would be involved in the case ten years ago. Then there was only one other possibility left. He was smart and quickly reacted, with a complicated expression on his face.
expression.
"Looking at your expression, I should have guessed it, right?"
"……Um."
Fujiwara Yu was still happy to deal with smart people at this time. He looked at Yamaguchi Jun who was sitting next to him, picked up the knife on the table and started making gestures, while not forgetting to explain to them:
"Maekawa Keiryo's radial artery, brachial artery and femoral artery were all cut open with sharp instruments, but these were not fatal injuries, but postmortem injuries caused after death. The real fatal injury was on the left chest, where the arrow pierced hard
Heart, a ruptured heart is fatal instantly.”
Yamaguchi Jun, who was used as a demonstration, only felt pain in his body. It was clear that Takaji Sousuke did not actually cut his skin with the knife, but he had an inexplicable feeling that was very uncomfortable.
"Isn't that the person who killed Maekawa?"
"I don't think it was the murderer ten years ago. The murderer should be someone who wanted to avenge Sayuki Saegusa." Fujiwara Yu slowly shook his head. He rejected Sugino Takashi's idea and stood up to look at the people with different expressions.
The voice said: "So, those who are related to that case, please come to me and explain what you did back then. I will wait for you in the room... Let's go."
He did not force everyone to stay here, because he noticed that... everyone seemed to have a little secret hidden in them.
As for whether they choose to continue to conceal it or take the initiative to disclose it, it depends on them.
