From the bottom of his heart, compared to the noise and noise of Tokyo, Lin Shuichi prefers the silence and leisure of Futu Village. But as a police officer, Lin Xiuyi will never allow the murderer who took someone else's life to go unpunished, even if he is still in the "training" period.

So in the investigation of the murder of Futu Temple ten years ago, Lin Xiuyi and Kanako's attitude has changed 180 degrees, Kanako has already got what she wants, and her thirst for the truth of this case is no longer as urgent as it was at the beginning, and Lin Xiuyi can't wait to verify his hypothesis because of new discoveries.

The hypothesis put forward by Lin Xiuyi perfectly cracked the secret room trick of the Buddhist hall in the snow, which also made Kanako begin to doubt Lin Xiuyi's identity, could it be that Lin Xiuyi's profession is a police officer or a private detective?

Although Kanako had doubts about Lin Xiuyi's true identity, since the other party was unwilling to say it, she was embarrassed to ask. However, after all, the secret room of the Snow Buddha Hall was cracked by the idea proposed by Lin Xiuyi. Kanako has decided to use this idea as the answer to the trick of the secret room of the Snow Buddha Hall in the script.

Early the next morning, Hayashi Shuichi drove to Kofu City with Kanako to visit the Yamaguchi Chiaki Police Department, which was in charge of investigating the murder at Ukitoji Temple ten years earlier, while Superintendent Mizukawa returned to Tokyo to deal with work matters.

Kofu City is the seat of Yamanashi Prefecture, and it also happens to be located geographically in the center of Yamanashi Prefecture. It wasn't until the afternoon that Lin Xiu arrived at the home of the Yamaguchi Police Department in Kofu. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Lin Xiuyi also did not reveal his identity as a police officer to the Yamaguchi Police Department. After all, Yamanashi Prefecture is also an administrative region bordering Tokyo, and the relationship between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Yamanashi Prefectural Police is not much stronger than that of Kanagawa.

Chiaki Yamaguchi let Shuichi Hayashi and Kanako into the house, and the wife of the Yamaguchi Police Department served tea to the two. After some introductions, the Yamaguchi Police Department finally got to business. I began to recall this case ten years ago.

"It's really a shame to say that although I tried my best in this case 10 years ago, I never found the whereabouts of the murderer! This incident is also the biggest regret of my police career! Over the years, I have always imprinted all the information about this case deeply in my mind......

"That year, I had just been promoted to the police department, and I was sent to work in the search section of the Kai City Headquarters. Soon after I arrived, I received a report from the Futu Village Police Station!"

"When I arrived at the scene of the crime, everything in front of me looked so strange, the courtyard was covered with heavy snow, and I could only see a few scattered footprints as far as the eye could see. At that time, I immediately ordered people to cordon off the scene and not allow anyone to enter. ”

When colleagues from the forensic division arrived, they first carried out evidence work on the footprints. After a preliminary on-site investigation, the forensic class can basically determine that all these footprints belong to the informant, Kengo Yamamoto!"

And when we entered the Buddha hall, the scene was even more weird! The deceased Ayu fell in a pool of blood in a white dress, and a rib was inserted into Ayu's chest. At that time, the cold wind was howling in the Buddhist hall, and even now I can't forget the feeling that the blood in my whole body was about to coagulate. ”

"We soon found a bloody fingerprint on the ribs of the murder weapon, and after identification, we determined that this fingerprint did not belong to the deceased Ayu, nor to the first informant, Kengo Yamamoto. From this moment on, our investigation was completely bogged down!"

"We did a thorough investigation into the social connections of the deceased, but unfortunately, we didn't find anything out of the ordinary! Jade's hometown is in Nagano Prefecture, and he was introduced by relatives to work here. Although Ayu has a fiancé in her hometown, her fiancé was in her hometown at the time of the crime, so we quickly ruled out the suspicion!"

"In addition to the investigation direction of emotional entanglement, we also conducted a detailed investigation of Ayu's property situation and interpersonal relationships! Ayu has not worked for a long time, although she has savings on hand, but it is not enough to attract murderous goods! And Ayu is friendly, and most of the people who have dealt with her like her very much!"

……

Lin Xiuyi listened carefully to the memories of the Yamaguchi Police Department, which was an old policeman with a lot of experience in handling cases. According to his description, Lin Xiuyi felt that even if he took over the case, he would conduct a search in the manner of the Yamaguchi Police Department. However, because Lin Shuichi is now visiting the Yamaguchi Police Department as a reporter. So he worries that the Yamaguchi Police Department will deliberately hide some key issues out of the protection of the victims.

"I'm sorry, police department, can I ask you a question about the victim's privacy?" Lin Xiuyi suddenly asked.

"Whatever you want to ask, just say it!" said the Yamaguchi Police Department disapprehended.

"Police Department, did the victim Ayu be sexually assaulted before her death?" Lin Xiu asked directly.

As soon as these words came out, the room was suddenly silent, and Kanako turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyi, with a hint of shyness and a little embarrassed expression on her face. She never expected Lin Xiuyi to ask such a question so directly!

"No, Miss Ayu is still an unmarried woman!" The Yamaguchi Police Department glanced at Lin Xiu, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes. And his answer also made Lin Xiuyi determine a key question, the so-called unmarried woman means a virgin! This is an obscure statement, after all, RB is a country that pays attention to etiquette and privacy, and some things are not easy to talk about in public.

……

The interview with the Yamaguchi Police Department lasted about two hours, and just as the interview was nearing the end, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to mention to the Yamaguchi Police Department the method he had envisioned to crack the secret room of the Buddhist hall of Futu Temple and kill people. He wanted to hear what the Yamaguchi Police Department thought.

"It's rare to think of this, but we have imagined various possible ways for the murderer to escape, in fact, I have something to give you, it is police information about this case!" This is a violation of police discipline!

"Police Department, won't you get yourself in trouble by doing this?" Lin Xiuyi hurriedly reminded. Although Yamaguchi is retired, it is still not a wise thing to do, and if it is investigated from above, it is likely to cause him a lot of trouble.

"Trouble, to be honest, the police have given up on this case a long time ago, I'm glad that you can continue to investigate this case, I really hope that the dead Ayu Zhaoxue will be killed one day sooner! If the murderer can be brought to justice, what are these troubles?"
