Chapter 36: New Discoveries

"The test results are in!"

"Oh...... It's been so hard!"

Lin Shuichi took the test report handed to him by Chiyo Tanaka. But before he could open it and examine it carefully, Chiyo revealed the answer in advance.

"Unfortunately, the active ingredient of Nile Gardens was not detected on the clothes!"

"Hmm...... Looks like I'm taking it for granted!"

Lin Xiuyi replied with a little regret.

"Wait, I'm not done yet! Although no trace of perfume was detected on the clothes! But we detected the active ingredient of the perfume you sent at the position of the handle of the murder weapon! So, your guess is correct!"

"Wait a minute, murder weapon? You mean that Liu Ren Baoding, right? I really didn't expect it!"

Lin Xiuyi asked the forensic officer Tanaka in surprise.

"It's not surprising at all that you can't think of it, man, I'm afraid few people are familiar with how women use perfume!"

"Oh...... Isn't it okay to pick it up and spray it in your face?"

Lin Xiuyi asked as he felt a little strange.

"There are girls out there who use perfume like that, would you want to go on a date with a woman with a strong fragrance? First of all, you have to understand that modern people don't use perfume to cover up the smell of the body. Therefore, the most important point is to grasp the dosage, so that the body naturally exudes a charming fragrance, only in this way can the greatest temptation to the opposite sex!

"Sister Chiyo, don't make fun of me anymore, after that incident, I'm still living in the hotel and can't go back to my home!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll show up and tell you how girls use perfume, although women and women may have their own preferences, but most ladies don't want to be regarded as women with heavy makeup. So very few people will spray it directly on their body. Some people will spray the perfume into the sky and then stand underneath to let the fragrance spread evenly and naturally on their clothes. In addition, there is also a spray on the wrists and the back of the neck. And it's basically a small squirt!"

"So, the murderer is a woman who likes to spray perfume on her wrists?"

"Hey...... Although it cannot be used as 100% evidence to directly determine the murderer, I think it should provide you with some helpers in your work!"

"There...... Your insights have really helped us!"

……

After leaving Chiyo Tanaka, Hayashi Shuichi immediately received a call from Miki. Miki gave a rough overview of the information she got from Yoshiae Murakami on the phone.

"What? You mean, Hamada has a sick fascination with this Nile Garden perfume?"

"Hey...... According to Kanae Murakami's description, Daichi Hamada really has a soft spot for this perfume, and every time Kanae Murakami meets him, he will specifically ask Kanae Murakami to use this perfume. ”

"It seems that this Hamada Councilor really has an unknown side! Miki, have you heard about the habits of rabbits, it is said that male rabbits will pee on their mates as a sign of possession. So I think it's likely that the woman we found out is just one of the women who has an extraordinary relationship with Hamada. If we continue to dig deeper along this line, I think we will get closer and closer to the real murderer. ”

"I SEE, POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU MEAN, IF WE LOOK INTO HOW MANY BOTTLES HAMADA HAS BOUGHT, HERMES UN JARDIN SUR LE NIL, WE CAN GREATLY SHORTEN THE SCOPE OF THE MURDERER. ”

"Of course, that's one way to do it!, but there's another assumption I've made before, which I think might need to be slightly modified. Do you remember when I concluded that the murderer was premeditated? That's what makes me a little concerned. Maybe she originally made an appointment with Hamada Daichi to go on a date somewhere, but she was released by the other party halfway, and after that, because of some coincidence, the murderer killed Hamada Daichi. In this case, it is very likely that the Yanagi Baoding was specially prepared by the murderer after changing his mind......"

After ending the call with Lin Shuyi, Miki immediately used her mobile phone to check the HERMES stores around the center of the city. Immediately after, he found the location of the store closest to Kasumigaseki and asked Urashima to send her there.

Since it was a perfume that Hamada Daichi was obsessed with, he probably wouldn't have given it to a woman to use! Miki thought that Hamada Daichi probably bought many bottles of the same perfume at once, and then gave them to women who were close to Hamada. If you can find the relevant sales records from the sellers, you may be able to find out the women who have an ambiguous relationship with Hamada Daichi!

After ending the call with Miki, Lin Xiuyi returned to the office alone and did not make himself a cup of fragrant coffee as usual. Instead, he locked himself in his room and even closed the blinds on the window, leaving himself in complete darkness.

LIN XIUYI SAT QUIETLY AT HIS DESK, AND THEN GROPED OUT AN UNOPENED BOTTLE OF HERMES UN JARDIN SUR LE NIL AND A THIN COTTON PAD FROM HIS POCKET IN THE DARK. Lin Xiuyi relied on his own feelings, opened the perfume bottle, and then gently sprayed the cotton pad on his other hand. After that, Lin Xiuyi gently picked up the cotton pad and waved it a few times in front of him.

It is said that after people lose their other senses, they will make their sense of smell more sensitive. Although he has not undergone professional training, Lin Xiuyi still appreciates some of the different things about this fragrance. The moment he took a deep breath, he felt as if he was in a damp riverside garden, and the air was filled with a faint scent of flowers, fruits, wood, and grass, as well as a fresh aroma of buds and pulp. This fragrance does not have the glitz of the city, but a personal feeling like a girl next door, but it is not limited to this, which may also contain a sense of nobility and elegance.

This may be the most unforgettable feeling in Hamada's heart, even though he has become famous and become a successful person who is envied by everyone, but there is still a taste in his heart that cannot be forgotten.

Lin Xiuyi slowly opened his eyes, gently threw the cotton pad in his hand into the paper basket at his feet, then stood up and reopened the doors and windows of the office. A mixed smell of the office pulled Lin Xiuyi back to reality.
