Chapter 30: The Scene That Was Covered

Lin Xiuyi and Miki stood at the door, and invariably took out gloves and shoe covers from their pockets, and then dressed themselves neatly. This is when Shuichi Hayashi and Miki stepped into the home of Hamada Daichi.

According to the coordination just now. Lin Xiuyi first started the search operation from the first floor. He walked over to the shoe cabinet in the hallway and gently opened the door of the shoe closet.

The cabinet looked a little empty, and there weren't many shoes other than a few pairs of leather shoes, sneakers, and slippers. Lin Xiu carefully took out each pair of shoes and examined them. The size of the shoes is uniform. Moreover, on shoes with laces, the knots are tied in the same way. So, it is almost certain that these shoes belong to Councilor Hamada himself.

After Lin Xiuyi finished checking the shoe cabinet, he immediately stood up and walked towards the restaurant. On the ground floor of the house is the main area of the open plan kitchen, dining room and daily living area. In addition to a large dining table, there is also a wine cooler and freezer. Lin Xiuyi first opened the refrigerator located in the corner. I looked at the food inside. The refrigerator is stocked with simple ingredients such as croquettes, konjac chunks, and other common home-cooked ingredients, as well as some sauces for cooking. The main purpose of these sauces is to help those who are not good at cooking to make delicious food easily. This kind of thing, before Reina came to Tokyo, Lin Shuichi would often purchase it. But now, Lin Xiuyi can't swallow this kind of lazy food at all.

After finishing the inspection of the refrigerator, Lin Xiuyi came to the cabinet again, gently opened the cabinet door and drawer, and checked the storage of the items inside.

In the drawer of the cupboard is a set of Western cutlery. In addition, there is a large empty space in the cabinet. Lin Xiuyi quietly took a picture of the vacant place with his mobile phone, then took it to his eyes, observed it carefully, and then put the mobile phone back in his pocket with satisfaction.

Because there were certain ingredients stored in the refrigerator, Lin Xiuyi also wanted to go to the stove to check it. Lin Xiuyi walked to the stove lightly and wiped the position of the stove mouth with his hand. In terms of feel, Lin Xiuyi did not feel any oil stains. This means that the family doesn't use it very often. So what will they eat for dinner? Lin Xiu kept this question in his mind.

After the inspection of the dining room and kitchen. Lin Xiuyi came to the bathroom on the first floor. The bathrooms here are also not small. A towel sits on one side of the sink, while a toothbrush holder and a gadget for automatically squeezing toothpaste are placed on the wall next to it.

Lin Xiuyi first stood in front of the mirror, trying to touch the position of the toothbrush with his hand, and then he saw that his hand was significantly higher than the existing installation position when he stretched out. Then, Lin Xiuyi squatted down and squatted his body, and tried to get the toothbrush again. This time, Lin Xiuyi stretched out his hand in the opposite position, almost exactly the height of the toothbrush holder.

In this way, Lin Xiu carefully inspected all the places on the first floor thoroughly. Then he walked up the stairs to the second floor. Here, Lin Shuichi followed Miki's voice into Hamada's bedroom.

"The police department, I've checked this floor, and the clothes in the room should be from Hamada. ”

Miki pointed to the neat row of suits in the cloakroom and reported to Lin Xiuyi. Lin Xiuyi nodded understandingly, and then he slowly walked to the window and gently smelled the smell on the pillow. Soon, the suspicious Lin Xiuyi seemed to have discovered something.

"Miki. Have you seen it upstairs?"

"After looking at the police department, the upstairs should be the councilor's study. Most of the materials there have been taken away by our people, and there is very little left!But, for some reason, I feel that this place looks a little strange!"

"Do you think there are traces of cleaning in the room?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly broke Miki's heart, and Miki couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Hey, I do feel that way, but I don't know where it makes sense!"

"You take a look at this first!"

As soon as Lin Xiu spoke, he took out his mobile phone and casually flipped through the photos he had just taken. He found the one he had just taken from the cupboard from the photographs. Then he pointed to the vacant position in the cupboard and said to Miki.

"If I'm not mistaken, this piece was supposed to hold something.

Miki heard Lin Xiuyi's prompt and hurriedly took Lin Xiuyi's mobile phone. She enlarged the photo taken by Lin Xiuyi a little. Soon, the watermark on the wooden board in the vacancy appeared in front of Miki's eyes.

"Police, how did you find out?"

"Actually...... It's nothing, I felt something was wrong as soon as I walked in the door. There were several pairs of leather shoes and sneakers in the shoe closet, but there was only one pair of slippers. However, in ordinary families, in order to prevent guests from not having shoes to change when they come to visit, don't most of them prepare several pairs of slippers? Therefore, the pair of slippers in the cupboard should be deliberately concealed by the person who cleaned up the room. ”

"What do you mean is that everything here is deliberately arranged, so that we think that this is the only one who lives here?"

However, these questions should have been speculation so far. I just checked it out a little in the kitchen. The owners here rarely seem to make food at home. So, I'm going to go to the convenience stores and restaurants nearby!"

After the conclusion of the initial search of Daichi Hamada's home. Lin Shuichi and Miki called the property staff again. It was also ten minutes, and the property worker who had helped Lin Xiuyi unlock the lock just now came back again.

"You've seen it all here, haven't you?"

"Hey, thank you for your help! But have you ever met the mistress of this house?"

"Sorry, hostess, officer, in fact, we are usually responsible for delivering a key, and this Hamada family doesn't seem to have a hostess!"

"So, let's ask if there's a bigger convenience store or restaurant nearby. ”

"Ah...... Convenience stores, just walk along this side of the road for a while. As for restaurants and stuff, there seem to be a lot of high-end restaurants over there!"

"Thank you so much for your help!"
