"Sorry, your call is temporarily unreachable, please come back later......"

"Bastard, why didn't you answer the phone at this time, could it be that something happened? No, we can't wait any longer, until tomorrow, the forensic class will conduct a technical appraisal of the metal charcoal basin left at the scene, what if there are Asutian's fingerprints left on it?"

"Is this business card ruined? I'm afraid this is not going to work, this business card was sent from the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department must have taken the fingerprints on the business card in advance, and erasing the fingerprints on the business card will not do anything at all. What to do, it seems that the only way to do it is to venture back to the police headquarters and destroy all the traces left on the charcoal basin. ”

Caught in a state of panic, Imai Takashi sat at the head of his bed in pain, pulling his hair constantly. Ever since he knew that the Metropolitan Police Department had begun to be suspicious of Naoto Asuda, Imai Takashi's heart rose to his throat. Yes, as a police officer, he did commit an unforgivable crime, he used the knowledge he learned from his criminal investigation work to design two seamless homicide cases, the victims were all disguised as suicide deaths, and at the beginning it did let the police fall into the trap he said, however, all this began to develop in an uncontrollable direction because of Lin Xiuyi's arrival.

"What to do, now at such an important moment, but I can't contact Naoto Asuda, the accomplice who killed Eiji Noguchi. Therefore, Imai Takashi is not 100% sure whether the charcoal basin that was taken away by the forensic class at the scene of the crime really has Naoto Asuda's fingerprints on it. And once Naoto Asuda's fingerprints are really found on the charcoal basin, then the fact that he killed Professor Noguchi will be revealed in front of the police, and it won't take long for the police to track him down, if that happens, he will be all over for the rest of his life. ”

Therefore, in the case of not being able to contact Naoto Asuda, Imai Takashi did not dare to gamble with the rest of his life at all. Because once the bet is lost, the consequences are definitely beyond the reach of Imai Takashi.

Imai Takashi glanced at the time displayed on his watch, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and by nine o'clock in the morning, his colleagues in the forensic class would begin to try to extract the fingerprints left on the charcoal basin.

According to Kanai Takashi's original understanding, these fingerprints could not have been extracted. Because he is familiar with the methods used to extract fingerprints in the forensic class. However, today's forensics class mentioned a new extraction method, that is, the use of ethyl cyanoacrylate fumigation to extract fingerprints attached to the surface of artifacts that have been burned by fire. This method had not been heard of before, so he searched for this fingerprint extraction method on the Internet, and it was confirmed that this method had been applied to an explosion at a US military base in the 70s. This is a special method of extracting fingerprints that remain at the scene of fires and explosions.

There is not much time left for Takashi Imai, and if he thinks about it like this, his chances will become slimmer and slimmer. After much thought in his heart, Imai Takashi finally decided to take one last risk, he was going to secretly return to the Metropolitan Police Department and find a way to clean up the charcoal basin stored in the evidence room. At the very least, the fingerprints on them should not be extracted by those in the forensics class.

Finally making his decision, Imai Takashi took a deep breath, then got up from the bed, picked up the coat that hung on the wall, and then stuffed the business card that was placed on the desk as evidence into his coat pocket.

"If you fight, if you don't do it, you may really go to jail!"

Takashi Imai, who had already made up his mind in his heart, no longer hesitated, he walked to the door and put on his shoes. Then he pushed open the door and strode towards the Hokkaido Police Headquarters.

Imai Takashi didn't own a house of his own, and the apartment he lived in was not far from the prefectural police headquarters, so it didn't take him much time to get to the place where he worked during the day.

He made a very covert detour through the exit of the underground garage on the side of the county police headquarters building, and as a criminal policeman, he understood the orientation and arrangement of the cameras here. So he carefully dodged where the camera could shine, and then walked up the freight staircase in the underground parking lot into the interior of the building.

Although the offices of the Search Section 1 and the Forensic Division are located on different floors, the evidence collected from the discovery site is usually placed in the evidence storage room on the same floor as the Search Section 1. Takashi Kanai still knows the situation there very well. Because the police are around on weekdays, there are no other cameras that can capture the situation inside, except for one camera facing the door.

All lights have been turned off in the work area at night at this time. Takashi Imai, curled up, jumped into the office area through a window near the passageway, and then continued to lower his body and walk in the direction of the evidence storage room. Despite the darkness around him, as a member of the Search Lesson, he knew everything about the place, and knew how to avoid the camera to reach his final destination with his eyes closed.

Finally arrived at the evidence storage room. Imai Takashi looked at the perimeter of the corridor vigilantly, and there was still silence around him. Imai Takashiyu, who was hanging with a heart, looked at the position of the camera. The orientation of the camera is fixed, and there is only one. So Imai Takashi just needs to lean slowly from the base of the wall and find a way to block the camera.

Takashi Imai, who had already raised his heart to his throat, finally launched his final action, and he quickly jumped from his position to the four corners of the camera. Then little by little, he went around to the back of the camera, and then he twisted the position of the camera in the opposite direction, and then the person also turned to the position of the door.

A combination lock is installed on the door of the evidence storage room, and the code here is an open secret in the search lesson. After Takashi Imai skillfully entered the code, the door immediately popped open a small crack.

Imai Takashi didn't dare to turn on the light, he took out a mini flashlight, turned it on, and used the light of the flashlight to shine on the words marked on the evidence shelf, and soon found what he wanted.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Imai Takashi was determined, he quickly found the charcoal basin at the scene, and then he took the charcoal basin and rubbed it frantically with his gloves, in a vain attempt to erase the last bit of evidence in this case.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the room became daylight, and Imai Takashi's eyes couldn't stand the sudden change in light, so he covered his eyes and screamed in horror.

"Officer Kanai, what a wait!"
