"Criminal act..."Yuya Kazami finally reacted with hindsight.

"Steward Forest, Mr. Descendantani, what do you mean..."

"The suspect may have been killed?"

"And that murderer is..."

Thinking of the poor Mrs. Yamazaki, Officer Kazami's heart couldn't help but sink.

At the same time, he couldn't help but have some doubts:

"However, Mrs. Yamazaki said that she had been in the store yesterday and did not come back."

"Although no one can give her an alibi, correspondingly, we can't prove that she was there at the time, right?"

"Nope." Officer Shimiya shook his head: "Kazami, do you remember the first thing Mr. Lin noticed when he first arrived at the scene?" ”

"That is, the witnesses saw that the murderer escaped over the courtyard wall after committing the crime."

"And if Mr. Yamazaki was alone at home at the time, after the murderer killed Mr. Yamazaki, there would be no one in this villa who could threaten him."

"This..."Kazami Yuya was slightly stunned:

Indeed, if that is the case, after the murderer commits the crime, he can calmly open the door and leave, and there is no need to escape over the wall in such an embarrassment.

But the murderer was in such a hurry and quickly escaped over the wall.

In other words, in addition to the murderer and Mr. Yamazaki in the house at that time, there should have been a third person in the house.

And this third person made the murderer feel threatened, so he rushed to escape over the wall after the killing.

"Not only that, but when I first came to the scene, I also saw the footprints of the murderer on the lawn."

Lin Xinyi then said after the words of the valley zero:

"Although only a rough outline can be seen from the footprints on the grass, even this is easy to distinguish:"

"The footprints on the grass were left by the same person, one "in" and one "out" two series of footprints. ”

"The series of footprints of 'entering' starts from the cement road in front of the courtyard gate and extends to the sliding glass door on the side of the villa."

"This series of footprints is loose, the step length is short, the left and right footprints are irregular, and there are alibi footprints with one foot and one foot oblique."

"These can be proven:"

"The murderer sneaked in from the front of the courtyard gate, went around to the side of the villa, and felt through the sliding glass door that opened on the side."

"In order to avoid being heard by the target in the house, the murderer tiptoed and stopped when he sneaked in, leaving this irregular slow footprint."

"This is the footprint of the murderer who entered the scene before committing the crime."

As he spoke, Lin Xinyi paused slightly, emphatically emphasizing:

"However, after the murderer committed the crime, the trail of footprints that left the scene was completely different."

"He escaped directly through the glass door on the side of the villa, leaving only four footprints on the grass in the courtyard, and then jumped straight across the lawn, jumped onto the nearest courtyard wall, and finally quickly climbed over the wall and left."

"And this scene is the same black shadow that the witnesses saw at 1 a.m."

"Combined with the traces of the scene and eyewitness testimony, it can be seen that the murderer was running as hard as he could."

"When he ran away, he was so panicked that he didn't even dare to go through the door, but only chose the shortest path - that is, to get out over the wall."

Lin Xin explained in detail, so that Kazami Yu also understood what he wanted to express:

"The murderer was so panicked because there were other people in the house besides the deceased."

"And that man... Most likely, it is Mrs. Yamazaki. ”

"But..."

He suddenly felt that something was wrong:

"Why is the murderer so afraid of Mrs. Yamazaki that he even runs away over the wall in such a mess?"

"You also analyzed it before, Mr. Lin, although that little gangster is physically weak, he has an impulsive personality and great courage."

"At that time, he had already killed Mr. Yamazaki in the fight, why did he run away in fear after seeing Mrs. Yamazaki, who was weaker than the deceased?"

"This..."Lin Xinyi was about to answer, but Officer Xiagu suddenly said:

"It's because of the guns, right?"

Gu Ling immediately understood Lin Xinyi's operation, and there was admiration in his tone:

"No wonder Manager Lin quietly asked our public security personnel to pay attention to investigating whether the Yamazaki couple had legal qualifications to carry guns."

"Mrs. Yamazaki, as a woman who is physically weaker than Mr. Yamazaki, was able to scare the murderer like that, probably because she had a firearm in her hand at the time."

"That's right." Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly:

"It's similar to the last case I encountered at Mt. Kongo in Osaka, so the first thing that came to my mind was a gun, and then I asked someone to investigate whether the Yamazaki couple were legally in possession of a firearm."

And according to my speculation: "

"Mrs. Yamazaki went straight home to rest after the izakaya closed at 0:00."

"It was 1 o'clock in the morning at the time of the crime, and the deceased Ken Yamazaki was still staying up late on the sofa watching TV, while Mrs. Yamazaki, who didn't go home until 0 o'clock, may have slept in her room."

"So when Mr. Yamazaki and the killer started fighting, she didn't show up in time to help."

"When Mrs. Yamazaki was woken up by the sound of a fight, she began to realize that something was wrong."

So, she immediately picked up the firearm hidden in the cabinet to defend herself, tried to walk out of the bedroom, came to the living room, and wanted to check the situation in the living room, but ran into the murderer who had just killed her husband.

"When the murderer saw that Mrs. Yamazaki had a gun in her hand, he was naturally frightened and did not dare to be arrogant anymore."

"Fearing that he would be shot and killed by Mrs. Yamazaki, he immediately escaped from the villa through the glass door in the living room, climbed over the nearest courtyard wall, and fled."

"And after that..."

Lin Xinyi's tone became a little heavy:

"Mrs. Yamazaki's choice was not to call the police for help, but to leave the villa immediately after her and pursue her at gunpoint."

"Because she went after the murderer, and the murderer didn't return all night, so..."

"I have to suspect that the murderer has already been killed."

"Mr. Hayashi..."Officer Kazami listened, and ran into something he didn't understand: "How do you know that Mrs. Yamazaki went out to chase the murderer at that time?" ”

"Because of the door."

"Officer Kazami, you said that the security door of the villa was open when the police arrived at the scene."

"But I have just analyzed, and the traces of the scene show that the murderer entered and exited the scene from the sliding glass door on the side of the villa, and did not take the security door on the front of the villa at all."

"So... That door could only be when Mrs. Yamazaki went out to pursue the murderer, and after opening it, she didn't care about it. ”

Lin Xinyi's meticulous analysis completely extinguished the last trace of luck in Officer Kazami's heart.

He had to admit that the truth might be so cruel.

Because she knew that calling the police could not punish the murderer, Mrs. Yamazaki was also forced to become the murderer.

"Alas..."Lin Xinyi sighed deeply:

"Officer Kazami, let's look around."

"If Mrs. Yamazaki really killed the murderer with a gun, but the nearby residents didn't hear the shooting."

"That shows that Mrs. Yamazaki caught up with the murderer's location, that is, the crime scene of the second case, is likely to be in a relatively secluded place such as a park."

"I see..."

Officer Kazami nodded, his expression even more lost:

"There's a park nearby, a quiet one."

...............................

A moment later.

Hayashi Shinichi, Shibuya Zero, and Kazami Yuya took Mrs. Yamazaki to the park not far from her home.

The dense artificial forest in the park has been stretched up a long blockade at this moment.

Police found the body of a teenager in the woods.

The corpse was shot in the back and fell to the ground on its back, its eyes widened and its expression twisted in pain, looking very hideous.

Blood stained half of his back, and then trickled down his side, staining the ground beneath him.

Lying in a pool of his own blood, he died of excessive blood loss.

This death is not much different from Mr. Yamazaki's.

Lin Xinyi did not rush in to bring the police officers from the forensic division to investigate the scene, but first met with the two of them, avoided everyone, and brought Mrs. Yamazaki in.

Mrs. Yamazaki saw the boy's body.

There was silence for a while, and all four people present fell into a dead air.

After being stunned for a long time, Mrs. Yamazaki asked coldly:

"What do you mean you brought me here?"

"......." Lin Xinyi pondered for a moment and replied, "This young man should be the murderer of your husband." ”

He still has a metal hammer around his waist and a blood-stained kitchen knife in his hand.

"Plus there's a splattery of blood on the outside of the arm—"

"The blood wouldn't be his own, because he was shot in the back, and it was impossible for the blood to spurt to this location."

"So, all you have to do is identify the bloodstains on the outside of your hammer, kitchen knife, and arm, and compare them with the DNA of your husband, Mr. Yamazaki, to confirm that the murderer is the dead teenager."

In a serious tone, he announced the outcome of Ken Yamazaki's murder.

The murder weapon and bloody clothes have been found, and the identity of the murderer has been confirmed.

But knowing that the identity of the killer was officially confirmed, Mrs. Yamazaki just responded lukewarmly: "Oh." ”

"Don't beat around the bush and say what you really want to say..."

"Don't you just want to say, this scumbag was killed by me?"

She looked at the three officers present with disgust.

And Lin Xinyi, Falling Valley Zero, and Kazami Yuya, can only carry a complicated feeling, and bow their heads to bear the disgust from the "murderer".

"If you want to say that I am a murderer, please bring out the evidence!"

Mrs. Yamazaki's voice was unkind.

"This..."Kazami Yuya was slightly stunned.

He couldn't help but raise his head slightly and looked at Lin Xinyi:

Yes, now Mrs. Yamazaki is just suspicious.

There is no evidence yet that she is the murderer.

If you can't find this evidence...

Officer Kazami suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of guilt in his heart:

At this moment, as a policeman, he actually had some hope, but Lin Xinyi couldn't find evidence.

He hoped that the murderer in this case would be smart enough to escape the eyes of the police.

"I'm sorry..."

Lin Xinyi shook his head helplessly.

He glanced at the footprints on the ground, as well as a few bullet holes near the boy's corpse, on the ground, and in the trunk of the tree:

"Mrs. Yamazaki, I know you have an opinion about our police, which is why you deliberately provoke like this."

"However, you should also know in your heart that it is easy to find evidence in this case."

"It's just... You don't care. ”
