Chapter 23: Doubts

"Alas, why did Xiu Yijun suddenly come over, aren't you on vacation?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Matsuda, how are you doing?"

"There's a case about the Silver Dragon Club pressed down above, I'm having a headache, by the way, Xiu Yijun, when are you going to work, I bought some new good coffee beans, and when the time comes, let's taste it together!"

"Thank you, section chief, for remembering my hobby......"

"Well, do you have any coffee leftovers from the coffee you just made?

"I just left you a drink!"

Lin Xiuyi sat at his desk, leisurely sipping coffee and chatting with Section Chief Matsuda. Seeing that Urashima-kun and Miki's seats were still covered with a cover to protect them from dust, I couldn't help but wonder how they would spend their vacations.

"Knock knock!"

With a knock on the door, Hanaga-kun walked into the office with Lin Xiuyi's gaze, and handed over a document to Lin Xiuyi's hand.

"Police, this is the information you need!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Hanagata-kun, how is the work in the Seventh Department doing lately?"

"Thanks to you, everything is going well, but the Shenmu Police Department is always thinking about you!"

"Please greet Shenmu senior on my behalf, and if you have a chance to call Aizawa-kun, let's go out for a drink together!"

"Hey, we won't refuse the invitation of the police department!"

……

After exchanging a few words with the flower shape, Lin Xiuyi sent the other party out of the door, and then carefully opened the material sent by the flower shape.

"Have you encountered another tricky case?"

Section Chief Matsuda asked Lin Shuichi curiously.

"Well, it's not, it's just a little curious!"

Lin Xiuyi said as he unfolded the materials in the information bag on his table in order.

This is a report on the accident of Takashi Kikuchi, who has passed away. According to the feedback of the forensic doctor at the scene, the police finally determined that Takashi Kikuchi's death was an accident. According to the police investigation report, the first person to find the deceased was the deceased's fiancée who was abroad at the time, and when the two were chatting on the phone, there was a sudden sound of rolling down on the phone. The lady immediately called the Kikuchi family's manor on the shores of Lake Hakone.

At that time, there was no one else in the manor except for the housekeeper and a few servants, and Mr. Housekeeper, who was the first to arrive at the scene, confirmed that Kikuchi Takashi was dead, and also properly protected the scene and waited for the arrival of the police. When the police arrived, no signs of fierce fighting were found at the scene. Except for a mobile phone and slippers scattered on the stairs. The police did not find any clues worth investigating.

Because Takashi Kikuchi was talking to his fiancée when he had an accident. And the fiancée was going to talk to Guizhi on the phone about some private words between lovers, so she had specially asked Guizhi to determine whether there were other people around before the accident, and this was the key to the police finally determining that Guizhi died in an accident.

According to the photos left by the police, the Kikuchi family's villa in Hakone is a typical Western-style building. That's why there are such dangerous stairs in the house. Based on the palm prints on the handrail of the staircase and the marks of the fall at the scene, the police can conclude that the deceased was standing in front of the painting called "Love Letter" on the staircase.

The woman, who was the key witness in this incident, only recorded the confession provided by the other party because the other party was abroad at the time of the incident. This made Lin Xiuyi frown a little.

It seems that the officer at the scene already had a preconceived notion at that time, so he will only select information from the evidence that is useful for the accident. I didn't even leave the details of the provider of the main word!"

Lin Xiuyi secretly shook his head in his heart.

Although there are flaws in the confession, it does prove that this is an accident. And the servants and butlers who were in the manor at that time were in the kitchen preparing for the upcoming engagement feast. So everyone has an alibi. At least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with Kikuchi's death being determined to be an accident.

Lin Xiu thought about it and put down the report in his hand, then picked up the photos on the side and browsed them in turn. In the photo, Takashi Kikuchi, dressed in small sleeves (a type of kimono in reference to the rogue Kenshin's clothes), falls onto the smooth marble floor. The puddle of blood on the head was already a good indication of the cause of the deceased's death. In addition to this, the mobile phone that was broken due to the fall, the blood and hair left by the deceased when he rolled down the stairs, and the slippers scattered on the stairs.

"Wait a minute...... Why slippers?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly picked up the photo in his hand and observed it carefully.

"Since you are wearing small sleeves, what should you wear on your feet?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly noticed a trace of disharmony, he hurriedly picked up the photo he had put down before, and began to search hard to see if he could find a clear photo of the deceased's feet.

When Lin Xiuyi finally found a photo taken from behind the deceased, he finally found something that was not quite right.

"It's ...... Foot bag?"

The deceased was wearing a footbag when he had an accident, and the slippers scattered on the stairs were indeed slippers, and the deceased was wearing small sleeves. Wouldn't it be strange to wear a thick foot bag that can be tucked into those cotton slippers?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but be a little vigilant. The foot bag is made of thick cotton, and there is no elasticity at all, so it should be very uncomfortable to wear it and wear slippers. How could anyone wear it like that?

So what about the clogs, with a foot bag, if you don't wear clogs, it will be inconvenient to walk, so what about the cotton mops on the scene.

Lin Xiuyi kept thinking about it in his mind, thinking about the suspicion he had just discovered. Isn't it strange that the geta, which should have been present, was replaced with slippers? But what about the alibi, if there were other people at the scene, whether it was the housekeeper or the servant, or the lady who was talking to the deceased at the time, who claimed that there was no one else at the scene. It's so easy to have so many people commit perjury together, and the deceased is the sole heir to a high-ranking retired official.

"Could it be...... Was it the girl in "Love Letters" who took the geta?"
