Tokyo Police

Vol 2 Chapter 7: footprint trick

Lin Xiuichi and the others stayed at Yamamoto Kengo's house for about an hour, and then drove to the stream outside the village to pick up Aizawa and Hanagata.

The car drove out of the village along the highway, and after passing through the Buddha Temple, it drove forward for about two kilometers, and came to the stream where Aizawa was fishing.

"How was the harvest today?" Lin Xiuyi parked his car in the open space beside the road, stood on the bridge and greeted Aizawa and Kagata under the bridge.

Aizawa gave Lin Xiuyi a thumbs up, and it seemed that he was lucky today. And Hua Xing didn't know where to get a metal detector, and is carrying out his treasure hunt with bare feet on the beach.

Anyway, it's still early for lunch, so everyone simply took a break by the roadside. The car Lin Xiuyi is driving is an MPV specially modified for traveling, and the doors on both sides can be opened. Because it is to play in the mountains, the chairs and tents for camping are specially brought behind the car.

Lin Xiuyi took out the chair, placed it in the back of the car, and took out an iced drink from the refrigerator in the car. Hello everyone, take a break here.

There is not much sunshine in the mountains, and there is a little mist in the valley. From time to time there was a gentle breeze in the forest.

Standing on the bridge and looking at it, the vegetation on both sides of the stream is lush, and the birds and flowers are fragrant. Looking back, the Buddha Temple in the distance is looming in the mist of the valley.

Lin Xiuyi leaned on the railing beside the bridge, thinking about the conversation with Kengo Yamamoto just now in his mind. This old case from ten years ago is full of strange places. A secret room blocked by snow, and a murderer who disappeared out of thin air...

"Kanako, how much did you know about the deceased Ayu? What was she like? Did she have any financial or emotional entanglements with others before her death?" Kanako's information did not mention this, so Lin Xiuyi naturally had no way of knowing. But from the point of view of the motives for murder, it is nothing more than that. Because the victim is a good-looking young woman, it is very likely that the murder case was caused by emotional entanglement, but it is not ruled out that the murder is for money. Or because there is a deep hatred between the deceased and the murderer, it may also be a murder case purely for the purpose of revenge.

"I don't know much about these situations. I have contacted the Yamaguchi Chiaki Police Department, who was in charge of this case. He is now retired and lives in Kofu City. How about it? If it's convenient tomorrow, would you like to visit with us? Go to the Yamaguchi Police Department?" Kanako said enthusiastically.

"Is it so convenient?" Lin Xiuyi really wanted to go. He was really at a loss as to how the trick of the secret room in the snow came out. What made Lin Xiuyi even more incomprehensible was that since the murderer had the ability to disappear out of thin air, why did he leave the murder weapon at the scene? And the murder weapon had to leave a **** fingerprint on it.

"If you want, we can't ask for it. In fact, it's us who caused trouble. After all, it's our job to come here to investigate the murder case ten years ago, but we have received a lot of care from you and your colleagues. ..." Kanako said sincerely.

"Xiuyi-kun, we're back, I'm sorry for making you wait so long!"

About ten minutes later, Aizawa and Kagata returned from under the bridge to where Lin Xiuyi and others were.

"How was the harvest today?" Lin Xiu greeted the two of them.

"If you ask about the fish, it's not bad. If you ask about the treasure, it is still waiting for my arrival!" Hua Xing said cheerfully. To be honest, Lin Xiuyi doesn't believe that Hua Xing is really looking for treasure. Although everyone is young people of the same age, sometimes Lin Xiuyi really doesn't know what Hua Xing is thinking!

"Ah, your shoes are all wet, hurry up and change them, or you will get sick!" Miki reminded kindly when she saw the wet shoes of the two of them.

"It doesn't matter, after returning to Umegakiya, take a good dip in the hot spring, and then there will be no problem!" Hanagata said and walked behind Aizawa to the back of the car. Both of their shoes were really wet from the stream. Leaving one shoe print after another on the road. When Lin Xiu heard Miki's words, he subconsciously looked at the shoes of the two. Suddenly he seemed to understand something!

Lin Xiuyi suddenly ran behind the two in excitement, lying on the ground and carefully observing the footprints left by the two just now. As if enlightened.

"What's the matter, Xiuyi-kun!" Kanako saw Lin Xiuyi's strange behavior and thought he was uncomfortable, so she hurried over to ask!

"Look, footprints!" Lin Xiuyi said excitedly, pointing to the footprints on the ground.

"Footprints? What happened to the footprints?" Although Kanako knew that Lin Xiuyi was talking about the case ten years ago, he didn't understand what it had to do with the footprints.

"It's a coincidence. If the murderer stayed in the Buddhist hall when Yamamoto Kengo arrived, what if he stepped on the footprints left by Yamamoto Kengo down the mountain to report the crime..." Lin Xiuyi explained to Kanako. He just saw Aizawa who was walking in front leaving footprints, and then Kakyo stepped on it again. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Lin Shuichi's head opened instantly.

"Ah! This will explain why there is only Mr. Yamamoto's footprints at the scene. That's great, Shuichi-kun!" Miki immediately understood what was going on when she heard Lin Shuichi's opinion, and Kanako soon understood! If it was really like what Lin Xiuyi had assumed, then there would be no secret room to kill. As the informant, Kengo Yamamoto inadvertently provided the murderer with a way to escape! The murderer only had to follow Yamamoto's footsteps and run out of the Buddha Temple, then hide in a nearby mountain, and wait until the police went up the mountain before escaping in the chaos.

Kanako was also very happy to hear Lin Xiuyi's assumption, but she didn't really want to re-investigate the murder that happened ten years ago. All Kanako needs is a room gimmick and a reasonable means of escape from the room. Although Lin Xiuyi's hypothesis has not been confirmed, it is enough for Kanako.

"Xiuichi-kun, thank you, with your assumption, we can start writing the script!" Kanako and Supervisor Mizukawa excitedly said to Lin Xiuyi.

"But this is just a hypothesis, it hasn't been confirmed yet!" Lin Xiuyi reminded cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, our purpose is to produce a popular and excellent program, not to really solve the case..." Kanako explained to Lin Xiuyi.

"Then visit the Yamaguchi Chiaki Police Department tomorrow..." Lin Xiuyi asked a little nervously.

Kanako saw that Lin Xiuyi seemed a little lost, and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. Anyway, she had already made an appointment with the Yamaguchi Chiaki Police Department, so why don't you go there and hear about the unknown inside story of this case!

"We still have to go to the Yamaguchi Police Department. Although the most critical escape room trick has been solved, we still need more information to enrich the whole story..."
