Lin Hai thoughtfully walked out of the convenience store.

Rika Nomi asked, "Did you find anything?"

"So obvious?"

Lin Hai rubbed his face and said with a smile: "It's a little hard to figure out." ”

Kyoko Fukada asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Hai asked her rhetorically: "How long have you known the store manager?"

"When I was very young, he set up shop here, and everyone around me knew him. When Kyoko Fukada said this, she asked nervously, "Do you suspect that he is a murderer? Impossible! The store manager is a very good person, he would never do such a thing!"

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Okay, don't think nonsense. ”

……

Lin Hai followed Kyoko Fukada to the front of the building by one and said, "Go back, let's go." ”

"Come in and sit down. Kyoko Fukada said expectantly.

"Isn't it okay?"

"It's okay, my mom and dad went on a trip and there was no one at home today. ”

Kyoko Fukada blushed as she spoke, realizing that the implication of this sentence was too obvious.

Lin Hai pretended not to know, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not having to "meet the parents" is naturally the best.

"Then bother. ”

Lin Hai walked to the entrance, took off his shoes, and walked towards the house.

Entering the house, Kyoko Fukada went to boil water to make tea in a panic, Lin Hai sat on the sofa thinking about things, and saw Rika staring at him next to him.

Seeing Lin Hai's frowning brows stretched, he couldn't help but see Rika and asked, "What did you find?"

"If the store manager hadn't lied, there was a lot of irrationality in this matter. ”

"What do you mean by buying Coke?

"A lot. Lin Hai crossed his fingers and said: "First, it is unreasonable to buy Coke with 10,000 yuan bills; second, the deceased is walking, which is unreasonable; and third, the biggest impression left by He Dao Ken to the store manager is that it is unreasonable to buy Coke with 10,000 yuan bills." ”

"Wait, why don't you say that?"

"We analyze the same. Let me ask you, what is the identity of Ken Kajima?"

Associate Editor-in-Chief of BUBKA magazine. ”

"And add the paparazzi and the rich kids. Lin Hai added and continued: "Whether it's the deputy editor-in-chief or the children of rich families, it's not normal to travel by car. ”

"Maybe he thinks it's more convenient?"

"What do you think?"

"Isn't it?"

"You must not know the profession of paparazzi. Lin Hai said: "Paparazzi are different from ordinary reporters, they chase news that has not yet happened, and these news are fleeting, are you sure that a paparazzi will take the subway to follow the artist?"

"You and Fukada-san both took the subway yesterday. ”

"Well, that barely makes sense. Lin Hai said this, "But." I want to ask you, where is his camera?"

Rika was stunned.

Lin Hai continued: "The camera is the equivalent of the paparazzi's weapon, you need to carry it with you at all times, some paparazzi may even carry multiple cameras with them, at least I haven't heard of any paparazzi carrying only one Checky. ”

Checky is an imaging camera launched by Fujifilm at the beginning of this year, commonly known as "Polaroid" in China.

With its ready-to-shoot features and fashionable shape, Checky was immediately welcomed by young consumers and was one of the most talked-about technology products in Japan in 1998.

However, Checky also has its drawbacks.

Its biggest disadvantage is that it lacks professionalism - limited focal length, does not support continuous shooting, is almost blind in high sensitivity (low-light environment), etc. - these shortcomings make it at most a "standby" in the hands of professionals, rather than a real replacement for a DSLR.

Lin Hai explained to Rika Nomi and continued: "I noticed the store manager's previous testimony, he never mentioned the words such as camera and photographer, and I hinted at him when I finally chatted with him, but he didn't react, which is very unreasonable. ”

"You mean, the camera wasn't taken by the killer?"

"Hmm. Lin Hai nodded and said: "The police believe that the murderer took the camera in order to destroy the evidence, but this contradicts the testimony of the store manager." ”

"Maybe he'll ...... the car," Rika Nomi said as she stopped in the middle of speaking.

"You want to say he actually drove the car, just parked somewhere else?"

"It's me who is confused. Rika said: "It's true that he didn't drive, his car has been parked under the apartment building recently, and this matter has been mentioned, but because it is not very important, it is not written in the material." ”

"Not important?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "This is a very important clue......

……

Lin Hai was about to continue, when Kyoko Fukada walked over with a tea tray.

"Haisan, see the criminal, please drink tea. ”

Kyoko Fukada brought the teacup to the two, and the two thanked each other.

"What are you talking about?" Kyoko asked curiously, sitting upright in her chair with her hands on her knees.

"I'm talking about the paparazzi who has been harassing you lately, do you think he will come to you again?"

"That man...... Isn't he dead?"

Kyoko shuddered, looking left and right, as if there was a ghost in the house.

"Hai, Haisan, will you stay with me tonight?"

"Not very well, why don't you call Hikki (Hikaru Utada) to come and accompany you?"

"I'll call her later, but you, you have to stay. ”

Kyoko's attitude is very resolute.

Lin Hai thought about it, and he didn't worry about the two girls going to face the murderer with an unknown purpose, so he agreed.

When Kyoko heard this, she immediately smiled.

Lin Hai jokingly said to her: "If you can convince Nemichi to stay, then you don't have to worry about it at all." ”

Rika Nomi suddenly said, "Okay." ”

Lin Hai asked strangely, "You are so good at talking?"

Rika glanced at him, "I just think you're more dangerous than the murderer." ”

“……”

"You mean, the murderer is also a paparazzi?" Reika Inomi brings the topic back to the right path.

"Remove the 'also'. ”

"The murderer is the paparazzi?" Satsuka Nomi chewed on this sentence, recalled his taste, and asked, "What is Ken Kajima?"

"Buyers. Lin Hai said: "If I'm not mistaken, He Daojian's 'revelations' were not dug up by himself. ”

"What about the evidence?"

"How did the police connect us (referring to Hayashi Hai and Kyoko) to Ken Kajima's death?"

"Photos. ”

"yes, photographs, photo paper, to be exact. At present, there are only two brands of Checky special photo paper on the market: Fujifilm and Polaroid. Because Polaroid is imported, the price is much more expensive, and the gap between the two is not obvious in terms of image quality, so in addition to professional photographers who pursue image quality, few people will buy Polaroid photo paper. So the question is, since the murderer wanted to disguise the illusion that the camera was taken away, why did he leave the photo paper on Ken Kajima's body?"

"Why?"

"In order to make the police misunderstand that Ken Kajima is a paparazzi. ”

"It's just your guess. ”

"If you want evidence, I'll give you it. You can call a colleague now and ask them to get tested and see if those photos have Ken Kajima's fingerprints on them. ”

"It's been identified. Isn't that a better proof that the photo paper belongs to Ken Kajima?"

"So, you laymen are in a blind spot. Lin Hai said: "Professional photographers will not touch the surface of photo paper with their fingers. In particular, the unused photo paper has a layer of mucous membrane on it, and when it comes into direct contact, the oil secreted by the fingers will contaminate the photo paper, and in severe cases, it may even affect the imaging effect......"

Haysan was right. ”

Kyoko Fukada nodded: "The crew photographer sometimes uses Checky to take makeup photos, and he will be very careful when holding the photo paper, pinching at most one corner. Otherwise, it will leave a heavy fingerprint on it, which will be ugly. ”

Lin Hai added: "The same is true for ordinary people in life, but this point is easy to be ignored in the analysis of physical evidence. ”

Rika can think back to her habits when looking at photos, and it is true.

"Thank you for the reminder, the police did make a common sense mistake. ”

Rika Inomi generously admits the mistakes at work.

……

After Lin Hai's peeling back of the cocoon, the case was restored-

As a rich young master, Ken He enjoys the joy of breaking the news, but he doesn't want to come and go in the wind and rain like a real paparazzi, so he spends money to let other paparazzi run around and enjoy the success himself. In the process, he had a conflict with a certain paparazzi and was eventually killed by him. After killing Ken Kajima, the paparazzi deliberately left unused Polaroid photos on him in an attempt to create an unsolved case in order to mislead the police.

Kyoko listened attentively, and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that he didn't expect that Hai Sang could see through his trick at a glance." ”

Lin Hai smiled and said, "What can you do if you see through it? ”

He turned to Rika Nomi and asked, "The newspaper that published the scandal between me and Kyoko wouldn't be unaware of the source of the photo." The results of the vine are not smooth, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Can you tell me who the whistleblower is?"

Rika hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "Impossible." ”

"Is it Shinji Takeda or Tsuyoshi Morita?" asked Lin Hai coldly.

"How do you know?" Rika's eyes widened.

Lin Hai admired the rare change in her expression and said, "What's so hard to guess about this. Daejeon said that the other party helped me and Kyoko provide an alibi. Lin Hai paused for a moment and continued: "At the time of the incident last night, Kyoko and I were singing in the KTV in Shinjuku, and we met Takeda and Morita at that time, and it happened that they were friends and enemies of each other. When Lin Hai said this, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect to rely on him to clear his suspicions, this is really disgusting." ”

Since Lin Hai guessed it, Rika didn't continue to hide it.

It was Shinji Takeda who handed over the photos to the newspaper through a familiar reporter. ”

"The police didn't ask where the photo came from?"

"Asked. Takeda Shinji said that it was Morita Tsuyoshi who fell into his car, as for Morita Tsuyoshi ......" Sayaka Nomi glanced at Kyoko Fukada and said: "Morita just found a paparazzi and asked that paparazzi to investigate Fukada-san, but he has not been in direct contact with the other party, and they are all contacted by email." ”

"How did the other party give him the photo?"

"This is the way to use the code lockers in the subway station, whether it's to pay or deliver survey materials. ”

"Is there investigative surveillance?"

"There is a lot of foot traffic, and it is difficult to identify yourself. ”

"Fingerprints on the locker...... Forget it, when I didn't ask. ”

Lin Hai realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Not to mention whether the paparazzi will leave fingerprints on the locker, even if they do, it is difficult to distinguish them when they are mixed with the fingerprints of other users.

"You're really careful......"

Lin Hai thinks it's a pity that this paparazzi doesn't go to be an agent, ordinary paparazzi can't wait to be famous, which one will do this?
