"No one has been in this box since me!"

After finishing his second questioning of Sakurako Takudai, Lin Shuichi wanted to see the scene again anyway. So he finds Megumi Ohno again and asks her to help open the box of the victim, Erika Shiraishi.

"No, we have been completely closing this box according to your orders, have you already discovered something?" Ono Megumi asked Lin Shuichi curiously while opening the deceased Shiraishi Erika's box with the key.

Lin Xiuyi didn't answer Megumi Ohno's question, as the sliding door of the box was slowly pushed open, two snow-white calves appeared in front of Lin Xiuyi, and after the sliding door was completely opened, Lin Xiuyi slowly walked from the corridor to the box.

It had been nearly a few hours since Erika Shiraishi was killed, and Erika Shiraishi's body inevitably showed signs of stiffness and corpse spots. It has to be said that it is a regrettable thing for a charming young woman to die like this.

Lin Xiuyi squatted next to Ms. Shiraishi's corpse and folded his hands in silence for the deceased. He tried to avoid all the objects scattered in the room, and just carefully observed the situation at the scene. Lin Xiuyi was not a forensic doctor, so he couldn't move anything in the room without permission. The actual site survey must be carried out by a specially trained forensic technician who will use an old-fashioned film camera that cannot be tampered with to record all the furnishings in the room rate.

"A hundred times on the scene!" is the truth that every experienced police officer in the search lesson understands. For the most part, the investigation of cases is based on some kind of assumption. So in the eyes of an experienced police officer, the first thing to determine is the main suspect in the case. In this case, because the time of the crime happened between 11 and 1 o'clock in the evening. Most of the suspects were unable to provide a reliable alibi. Therefore, the number of suspects is very large, and even those who can provide alibi testimony have to put a big question mark on the credibility of their testimony. Strictly speaking, even the staff on the train were the object of Lin Xiuyi's suspicion.

But then again, the crew members on the train are basically fixed, and they are far less likely to commit murder on this train than those who are not regular, and among the passengers, Sakurako Sakurai, who was the first discoverer at the scene before the crime, and Yasuyuki Minamida, who had a close relationship with Eri Shiraishi, are obviously the most suspicious suspects.

While inspecting the traces of the scene, Lin Xiu recalled in his mind the testimony provided by Sakurako Takuri, and he vaguely felt as if he had caught something!

Lin Xiuyi returned to the door of the box again, facing the corpse, and then left the box backwards. The deceased's calves were already showing signs of stiffness, and they were no longer what they had been when they had just been killed.

When Lin Xiuyi completely left the box, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Before the murderer knew it, he had already revealed his feet. It seems that this scene can now be closed.

……

"Knock Knock"

With a knock on the door, Mrs. Kakiya put down the towel in her hand, covered her mother-in-law with the quilt, and then called.

"Who is it?"

"Mrs. Kakigu, I'm sorry to disturb you again, I'm Lin Xiuyi from the search class, and I have something I want to ask Mrs. Kakiya for verification!"

Lin Xiuyi stood in the corridor and said to Haruko Kakiya in the box.

"Mom, what are you looking for her?" said Haruko Kakitani in a bit of a panic, but she quickly calmed herself down, then got up and walked to the door, pushing open the sliding door.

"Mrs. Kakiya, if you may, could you please go to the lounge? In half an hour I would like to announce my findings there. Lin Xiu, who had always stood by the door, said in a low voice.

"However, I still have to take care of my mother-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!" Haruko Kakiya subconsciously avoided Lin Xiuyi's gaze, Lin Xiu smiled, and then gave way to the side, revealing the train Megumi Ono behind him.

"Mrs. Kakiya, if it is convenient, we are willing to take care of your mother-in-law temporarily in your place......"

Megumi Ohno said respectfully to Haruko Kakiya.

"That'...... Okay then!" Haruko Kakiya reluctantly agreed.

Haruko Kakiya slowly followed Megumi Ohno back to her box, and she hesitantly turned her head to look at Lin Shuichi who walked into the room. I saw Lin Xiuyi come to the bedside of the old woman of Persimmon Valley who was leaning on the bed, first bowed slightly, and then whispered to the old woman of Persimmon Valley to ask something, the old woman looked at Lin Xiuyi suspiciously, and then nodded.

"Mrs. Kakiya, the other guests may have already arrived, please hurry to the lounge as soon as possible to meet everyone!" Megumi Ohno saluted first, and then reminded in a whisper beside Haruko Kakiya.

"That...... Do you know what Officer Lin asked her mother?" asked Haruko Kakiya cautiously.

"I'm sorry...... I'm curious too!" Megumi Ohno replied to Haruko Kakiya.

Haruko Kakiya returned to her box to change her clothes, and after freshening up, the staff on the train also invited the other passengers to the rest room in the second half of the train. The crew on the Senhoua train asked everyone about their preferences and prepared drinks such as coffee, tea, and alcohol for distribution.

When Haruko Kakiya arrived in the lounge, the other passengers were already sitting here one after another. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one wanted to say anything. Because Haruko Kakiya came late, she hurriedly bowed to everyone to express her apology.

The last to arrive at the lounge was the manager of Ishibashi, who lived in car No. 9, and when he got a notice from Lin Xiuyi that the name of the murderer would be announced in the lounge, Ishibashi Heizo did not believe Lin Xiuyi's statement.

This time, such a serious incident occurred on the Senhoua train, which will have a serious impact on the future operation of this luxury train. After all, no one wants to travel on a train that is not safe, do they?

Ishibashi Heizo sat in the corner of the lounge, looking at the other suspects in the room with a little anger, which hateful guy was the same as this time, which completely destroyed the dream train brand built by JR East.

Just when Ishibashi was still thinking about how to minimize the damage, the automatic sliding door of the lounge suddenly opened. A man with a red coat of arms pinned to his left chest entered the break room with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Lin Xiuyi stood in front of the door and bowed deeply to everyone present.
