Minori Nakamura looked quite flustered.

It was also difficult for others to tell whether she was panicked by the sudden accusation of being identified as the murderer or panicked by the imminent search she was facing.

But no matter what, at Lin Xinyi's request, Minori Nakamura still cooperated with the inspection with an ugly face.

She first flipped out the pockets of her pants, followed by a few pockets of the down jacket on her body.

Then he took off his down jacket and revealed the shirt inside, which had no place to hide a bottle.

Nothing was found.

"Look... Where did I get the medicine bottle? ”

"You'd better look elsewhere!"

"If you find it, just use the fingerprints and dander on it to clear my suspicions!"

Minori Nakamura blushed, and his mouth pouted, and he was about to put the down jacket he took off back on.

And at this moment...

"Wait!"

Lin Xin saw something at a glance:

"The lining of your down jacket seems to have a hole?"

"W-What?" Minoru Nakamura stiffened: "Where is it?" ”

She subconsciously spread out the lining of her down jacket and looked down:

There's a hole.

The down inside is exposed.

It's not just the white down that's revealed.

There is also a rather conspicuous, nylon rope end.

"Rope?!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Minori Nakamura himself is even more so:

"I, in my down jacket... How could there be a nylon rope hidden?! ”

She exclaimed in shock, her face turning a little paler.

And everyone, including her, was able to link the "rope" to the attack in an instant:

"Miss Suzuki's neck was strangled with a rope, but the rope left by the killer was not found at the scene."

"That is to say... That rope may still be hidden in the 'murderer' now? ”

Everyone looked at Minori Nakamura's eyes and became strange:

Who would have nothing to do with a rope?

Moreover, it is deliberately hidden in the hole in the lining of the down jacket?

"No, no..."

Minori Nakamura panicked and spoke incoherently:

"I didn't put this rope in it at all."

"Someone's got to be... Someone framed me!"

"Yes, when I was on the slopes..."

She was stunned for a long time, and then reacted hysterically:

"When I was in the ski lounge, I once took off my down jacket!"

"It must have been at that time, someone secretly hid the rope in while I wasn't paying attention, and wanted to frame me!"

As he spoke, there was no trace of blood on Nakamura's face.

She subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull the rope out of the lining of the down jacket.

"Don't move!"

Lin Xinyi frowned, and stopped her in time:

"Don't touch that rope."

"If things are as you say, someone has framed you for this rope."

"Then you shouldn't have touched this rope, and there won't be any dander left on the rope."

"But if you reach out and touch it now, you won't be able to explain a lot of things."

"This—" Minori Nakamura froze there, her arms shaking violently in tension.

After a moment of stupidity, she finally stopped, and honestly asked Lin Xinyi to take the down jacket away from her.

"Evidence bag."

Lin Xinyi instructed Mao Lilan to take a plastic evidence bag that he carried with him.

Then he carefully pulled the rope out of the lining of the down jacket with his gloved hands and put it into the evidence bag.

And this pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and as soon as the rope was pulled out, another small bottle rolled out of it.

It was a small, dark brown reagent bottle, empty inside, as if it had been emptied clean.

"Reagent bottles?"

The atmosphere suddenly became even more eerie.

Minori Nakamura's face turned blue, and he was even more and more shocked and speechless.

"Ropes, reagent bottles, it's all on you..."

"You look so much like a murderer, Ms. Minori Nakamura."

Lin Xinyi looked over with blazing eyes.

"I—I'm not..."Minori Nakamura seemed to be stunned by the fright.

She couldn't even communicate normally, and could only repeat the sentence sarcastically: "I'm not, I'm not a murderer!" ”

"Whether it's the murderer or not, the evidence will tell us the answer."

"Please calm down."

"I'm not going to use the 'look like' argument to determine that someone is the murderer."

Lin Xinyi's tone was very calm.

He held up the small reagent bottle and looked at the light cast on the ceiling, observing the marks on the bottle.

Using this transmitted light observation method, he could easily see several fingerprint traces in near-complete form on the smooth surface of the glass bottle.

"There are fingerprints left by the suspected murderer on the reagent bottle."

"And if that rope is the murder weapon, the murderer uses this rope to strangle Miss Garden's neck."

"It should also be possible to check out the dander on Miss Yuanzi's body and the murderer himself."

"That's going to be easy."

"As long as these physical evidence are sent to the branch research institute for identification afterwards, it can be determined whether Ms. Nakamura is the murderer or not."

Lin Xinyi always left room for words this time.

is not as aggressive as in the past, in order to break through the murderer's psychological defense.

Because he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

These key pieces of evidence are all too simplistic.

In fact, he never thought that the murderer would really hide these important physical evidence on his body, and asked for a body search, which was also a routine matter out of prudent consideration.

Unexpectedly, he actually found such important physical evidence from the clothes of this Nakamura lady.

Rope plus reagent bottle, these pieces of evidence are enough for him to close the case directly.

Of course, the strange is the strange.

Lin Xinyi can't deny the possibility that the murderer was too flustered and nervous when he fled, and he didn't have time to safely dispose of the physical evidence, so he hid the evidence on his body.

Or maybe the murderer felt that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he hid the physical evidence in the lining of the down jacket.

These speculations are very likely.

All in all, Minori Nakamura is currently the biggest suspect.

"So I'm not going to make judgments lightly."

"Let the evidence do the talking, it's my working principle."

Lin Xinyi said to Minori Nakamura as both a warning and a comfort:

"Since the physical evidence is here, there are even clear fingerprints on the reagent bottles."

"Then whether you are a murderer or not, there will naturally be an answer."

"Good, good!" Nakamura Shiri reacted sneeringly: "Then check it now...."

"The fingerprint on that bottle can't be mine... No way! ”

"I can't find it yet."

"We have to wait until tomorrow when the snow on the road is cleared, and we send the physical evidence to the Metropolitan Police Department for identification, before we can come up with an answer."

Lin Xinyi came back to the ski resort directly from a business trip in Osaka this time, and he did not have a survey box on him, and he lacked the equipment to extract fingerprints completely.

Moreover, even if he had the equipment, he did not have the ability to identify fingerprints on the spot.

He's a forensic doctor and semi-smuggler, not a fingerprint examiner, which is not his specialty.

"Please be patient with us."

"When we get to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow, everything will be answered."

Lin Xinyi made a reasonable statement.

As the number one suspect, Minori Nakamura must remain under close surveillance until tomorrow when he is handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department.

If the fingerprint wasn't hers, and there wasn't any dander on the rope from her and Suzuki Sonoko, she would have been able to clear the suspicion.

This is the best way to deal with it.

And Minori Nakamura is still a little uneasy.

I don't know if I'm afraid that my crime will be exposed like this, or if I'm afraid that I will be wronged as a murderer by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Her expression was still so nervous and flustered:

"Yes, yes..."

"Are Yonehara-sensei and Ms. Suzuki awake?"

"As long as they wake up and tell who the killer is, they can prove my innocence!"

Minori Nakamura's voice trembled as she tried to confront the two victims, seemingly eager to prove her innocence.

She really doesn't look like a murderer.

But Lin Xinyi is a forensic doctor, not an expert in micro-expressions.

No one knows if the other party's face is eager to prove itself is acted.

In this way, with vigilance and suspicion of Minori Nakamura, everyone waited for a while.

Mihara-sensei and Sonoko Suzuki, who were stunned, finally woke up.

The first to wake up was Sonoko Suzuki.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and then, like a spring, a carp bounced off the couch:

"Help, help—"

"Yonehara-sensei was killed!!"

"Calm down, Miss Garden."

Lin Xinyi stabilized the frightened Miss Suzuki in time:

"Yonehara-sensei is fine, she just fainted like you."

"Now you can breathe a sigh of relief, and then help us remember what happened?"

"Oh, oh..."

Sonoko Suzuki let out a long sigh of relief.

After confirming that Mr. Yonehara was okay and that she was safe, she said in shock:

"As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yonehara-sensei lying on the floor in a delirious state, as if he was dead."

"Then I screamed for help, but I didn't expect... A man suddenly appeared behind me and covered my nose with a towel. ”

"And then... Then I passed out. ”

Sonoko Suzuki said with palpitations.

"In other words, you didn't see what the murderer looked like?"

"Nope..."

"Okay." Lin Xinyi sighed softly, and then looked to the side, as if he was about to wake up, Teacher Yonehara.

He was waiting to ask her about the situation.

I saw Mr. Yonehara open his eyes groggy.

There was no need for Lin Xinyi to ask questions now, Minori Nakamura couldn't wait to step forward and hurriedly asked:

"Yonehara! Yonehara! ”

"Do you see who the killer is?"

"Hmm..."Yonehara rubbed her head, as if she hadn't recovered from her coma.

Minori Nakamura asked excitedly, and she replied in a confused manner:

"No, no... I was attacked from behind, and I didn't see what the killer looked like. ”

"This—" Minori Nakamura stood there with a stiff expression.

She seemed to be completely confused by fright, and stood frozen for a long time before she said in a trance:

"They didn't say I was a murderer..."

"W-This should prove something, right?"

"No, it doesn't prove anything." Lin Xinyi shook his head helplessly: "Teacher Yonehara and Miss Yuanzi don't know who the murderer is. ”

"The murderer also knew that the two of them didn't see themselves at all, so the murderer would not be afraid of the victim's testimony at all."

"And you urgently asked to confront Yonehara-sensei and Sonoko in front of people, so as to show that you have a clear conscience."

"Although this is also a normal reaction of people after being wronged."

"But I'm sorry, objectively speaking..."

"Ms. Nakamura, this makes you look more suspicious."
