"Please step back and don't cross the cordon in front of everyone!"

A row of officers in blue uniforms, holding flashing red warning sticks, are trying to warn the onlookers who have stopped on the shore not to interfere with the work of the police. In the distance, under the guidance of the police, a train team stopped with difficulty next to the river embankment.

"Boom!"

When Lin Xiuyi was about to reach out to open the car door, his colleague who had been waiting outside actually opened the car door for him one step ahead of him. Lin Xiuyi raised his head and looked out of the car, only to see several colleagues wearing search armbands saluting him.

"Thank you for coming to the scene in your busy schedule, you have worked hard!"

"Eh, Xiu Yijun, isn't this Xiu Yijun? Why are you in the car, didn't you say that the counselor should be there in person?"

"You ......"

"Alas...... In short, during this time, I will temporarily replace Minister Sato and Counselor Nakazono in charge of the follow-up investigation of the Marunouchi kidnapping case. Let's go, seniors, let's go to the scene and have a look!"

Lin Xiuyi, who knew that he had been cheated, didn't want to continue this topic, so he tidied up the suit on his body that was a little untidy because of the car, and then took out the white gloves he carried with him from his pocket and put them on his hands.

Surrounded by many colleagues in the first class, Lin Xiuyi stepped on the steep embankment under his feet and walked step by step towards the Tama Kawahara Bridge not far away. At this moment, several reporters who had just tried to get close to the cordon hurriedly raised their cameras.

"Who found the body at the scene?"

"It was the cleaners who cleaned up the Tama River, and while they were working under the piers, they noticed the victim's body, and then Mashan reported it to us!"

"Is the time of death confirmed?"

"There is only an approximate time, probably no more than 8 hours, and as for the specific time of death, it needs to wait for further confirmation from the identification department. ”

"The cause of death is ......"

"Mechanically suffocated to death! Actually, he was strangled from behind! There were not many signs of struggle found on the corpse......"

Lin Xiu walked to the vicinity of the corpse step by step, first clasped his hands together and silently saluted the deceased, and after a long while, Lin Xiuyi squatted down to check the situation of the corpse.

A colleague from the forensic division stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse with both hands. Lin Xiu subconsciously blocked his mouth and nose with his hand, but perhaps because of the cold weather, the ** condition of the corpse was not serious.

"You see, the fatal blow is here, the rope is wrapped around the neck and pulled back hard, the opponent is very strong, so the mark is very deep. And judging from the surface of the strangulation marks, there are no serious abrasions on the skin, so I think the murder weapon should be a relatively smooth rope......"

"For example...... Tie or something?"

Lin Xiuyi casually asked the staff at the scene.

"Hey, it should be something like that!"

Hearing the other party's guess that he must be hungry, Lin Xiu nodded clearly, and then he turned sideways to check the situation on Chiba Ryozhen's corpse.

"Alas...... I really didn't expect a person to die like this!"

Lin Xiuyi sighed silently in his heart, and then he gently lifted Chiba's sleeve and checked the situation on the corpse's arm.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, Chiba's corpse looked very peaceful, and although the clothes on the body were still the same as those worn when they disappeared, they didn't look dirty. And there were no obvious folds in either the elbows of his shirt or his pants, so it seems that the place where Chiba was held should be a neat and spacious place.

"Did you find any traces around, and how did the killer get the body here? ”

Lin Xiuyi stood up again, and then asked a series of questions to his colleagues in the forensic class. Geographically, this is a bridge across the Tama River, and it is not a remote place, and there are many vehicles coming and going. If the killer had carried the bodies, even in the early hours of the morning, no one would have been able to find them.

"Unfortunately, there are no cameras in this area, but some footprints have been found in the grass from the other side of the embankment, and we have already sampled the footprints, and we will have to investigate the specific situation when we get back!"

I heard the other party mention that there were footprints. Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked the other party to take him over. When he was taken to a place where the turf was exposed, Lin Xiu easily found a clear footprint on the dirt floor.

"The forefoot part has a deep mark, so I guess I came down with the corpse on my back!"

"Hey, it does look like this. But carrying a corpse from such a high place must be a laborious task!"

"Yes, Chiba, who was born as an artist, is very tall, and if the murderer is a small man, I can't imagine how the other party can strangle Chiba from behind. Standing on a stool, I'm afraid it's easy to be thrown down by Chiba!"

……

Listening to everyone's gossip discussion, Lin Xiuyi just took out his mobile phone without saying a word and took a picture of the surrounding environment.

"Try to find it within a twenty-minute drive, our goal is a clean, unobtrusive place of captivity. If you go beyond that, it's too dangerous to transport corpses or something, and the cost of crime is too high! Personally, I prefer to go south of the Tama River, away from the center of the city. However, the possibility of the other side of the strait cannot be ruled out. Other than that...... If it was a silk tie that strangled Chiba, this is also a clue that can be traced, I remember that Chiba didn't wear a tie when she disappeared......"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation, everyone hurriedly recorded several key points he ordered one by one. After ordering what was going on here, Lin Xiuyi immediately walked in the direction of the car.

"Eh, are you leaving?"

A colleague who had confessed to Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask with some curiosity when he saw Lin Xiuyi's farewell.

"Hey, I've seen the situation pretty much here, and I want to go to the gas station to see if there are any clues left!"

"But, Xiu Yijun, why didn't your two subordinates come with you!"

"They...... They have other cases on their hands, and they can't participate in this mission for the time being!"

Lin Xiuyi pretended to be helpless and said to the other party. And at this moment, the real monologue in Lin Xiuyi's heart is

"It's enough for me to be unlucky alone, I can't let the special search department be wiped out this time!"
