"Where are you and what are you doing at ten o'clock this morning......

"Have you ever received a call from Jun Ono lately......"

……

In the Metropolitan Police Department's dispatch room, detectives from the Search Division 1 were questioning hundreds of faculty and staff affiliated with Morimura Junior High School and Suruga Juku, because one of Hayashi's first tasks was to identify suspects who could not provide a reliable alibi during the time when Mrs. Tomohan was attacked. However, to investigate so many people at the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department must obtain the approval of the District Public Prosecutor's Office and the District Court, after all, the police cannot just arrest people.

Now the reason announced by the Metropolitan Police Department is based on the protection of these teachers, but unfortunately this excuse will not last long. Lin Xiuyi also had to make this decision now. According to Lin Xiuyi's prediction, the real murderer should have deliberately wanted to shift the police's attention to Jun Ono, so he created today's case. Although the message at the scene is very consistent with the characteristics of Jun Ono's bipolar disorder, it is actually a trap deliberately left by the murderer.

To Miki's surprise, at this moment, Lin Xiuyi actually ran back to the office to make coffee, and he didn't look anxious at all. This makes Miki, the only subordinate of the special search department, now the supreme commander of the scene. Many colleagues with higher levels than him kept coming to her to ask about the work arrangement, and Miki naturally didn't dare to take Lin Xiuyi's place to give orders. So Miki, who was in a hurry, had to ask Lin Xiuyi for instructions again and again.

Miki hurriedly pushed open the door of the special search department, and Lin Xiuyi was weighing the weight of coffee beans on the electronic scale at this moment, and even Lin Xiuyi actually had the mind to add coffee beans to the electronic scale one by one.

"Police Department, what the hell are you doing, don't you know that the search lesson is almost all busy with our case right now!"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's leisurely appearance, Miki couldn't help but say angrily.

"What's the matter, is the alibi done?"

Lin Xiu looked at the weight displayed on the electronic scale without looking back, and there was no trace of nervousness in his tone.

"Not yet, but the police department, shouldn't you go out and keep an eye on these suspects?"

Lin Xiuyi didn't react to Miki's dissatisfied tone, he picked up a small coffee bean with a small wooden tweezer and threw it on the electronic scale, and when the value on the electronic scale stabilized, Lin Xiuyi frowned not very satisfied. He then picked up a larger coffee bean and put it back in the jar, then picked out a smaller one and put it back on the scale.

Miki is dying now, and she sees that Lin Xiuyi has no intention of leaving here, so she simply ignores Lin Xiuyi. She snorted at Lin Xiuyi, and then strode out of the room.

"Remember to wait until the screening work is over, and I'll order some sushi to treat everyone!"

Miki had just left the room, but she heard Lin Xiu's inconsequential explanation, and Miki was really completely speechless.

……

The work of screening suspects has led to the temporary deployment of a large number of front-line criminal police officers to participate in the search section. After the police officer in charge of the interrogation received the testimony of the other party in the investigation room, he immediately passed the relevant information to the colleagues waiting outside, and what these colleagues needed to do was to contact the relevant personnel mentioned by the suspect who could prove that he was indeed not at the scene of the crime based on the first-hand information of the investigation room. In addition to making phone calls, the main way to contact is to have the Metropolitan Police Department's Jiaoban patrol officers personally visit the door and contact the relevant personnel who cannot be reached in person.

It's a tedious and monotonous job. You know, the criminal police who can enter the search class are the best police in Tokyo, but now they are ordered to do this kind of low-level work, and many people are very dissatisfied with the special search department.

Miki is now a small patrol, but Lin Xiuyi is in front of her as the person who gives orders, which makes Miki feel very embarrassed, because from time to time, there are inspectors and even people at the level of the police department who ask her for instructions on work. But Lin Xiuyi just hid in the office and refused to come out, so what could Miki do?

Morimura Middle School, one of the two units that Lin Xiuyi asked to investigate, happened to be in class at the time of the incident, so many teachers were able to provide alibi certificates. But the teachers and school staff who were not in class at the time of the incident were not so lucky. In particular, school administrators, many of whom have their own offices, have no way of proving where they are at the time of the crime.

As for the other unit, Suruga Juku, the situation is even more encouraging. Because the police took away Sousuke Tomosaka, a teacher who works at Suruga Juku, a few days ago, they also closed down this extracurricular tutoring institution. Therefore, most of the teachers were unemployed at the time of the incident. It is not very difficult for teachers who live with families in Tokyo to provide their own alibi, but for those who live alone, it is somewhat difficult.

But even so, thanks to the efforts of a large number of police officers in the search section, the questioning process lasted for more than three hours, and about 70 suspects were eliminated, which made Miki finally see some hope.

But what made Miki angry was that when he returned to the Special Search Department with the results of an afternoon's hard work in the entire search class to ask Lin Xiuyi, he saw that Lin Xiuyi was actually leisurely setting up a poker tower on his workstation, and it had been stacked to the height of the fourth floor.

"Police Department, it's all this time, how can you still have the heart to do such a boring thing here!"

In the face of his superiors, he is also a senior he admires. Lin Xiuyi's performance today could not satisfy Miki no matter what. She really didn't understand what Lin Xiuyi thought.

"I've done what I've done, right? Tell me, how many suspects are left......

Lin Xiu was still holding the playing cards in his hand, and continued his great business of building a poker tower by himself, without the slightest intention of checking the documents in Miki's hand.

"There are thirty left, what are we going to do next, continue to interrogate these suspects?"

Miki saw that Lin Xiuyi had finally begun to inquire about the case, and couldn't help but wonder what Lin Xiuyi would do next.

"Let everyone write down their addresses and contact information, and then tell them to leave, after all, the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't have a lot of budget, so many people have dinner...... Counselor Nakayuan probably won't agree!"

"Ah~~~!"

Miki's jaw almost fell off in surprise,
