With doubts, Lin Xinyi quickly followed Belmode out of the house.

They didn't rush to the Metropolitan Police Department, but drove directly to the hospital where Hiroki Tsuji was at the moment.

Lin Xinyi had a faint hunch that he felt that the key to this case was likely to be the "accident" that happened to Hiroki Tsuji.

So he was anxious to rush over as soon as possible to meet the immortal Mr. Hiroki Tsuji.

"Teacher, drive faster."

Even though he was about to drive to the hospital, Lin Xinyi still couldn't help urging him.

"Hmm." Belmode naturally cooperates with the throttle increase.

Her expression was very serious, and there was a concentration in her eyes.

Although it is a little strange to say this, Belmode, who followed Lin Xinyi to investigate the case at this time... It makes people feel a little righteous and awe-inspiring.

If it weren't for the fact that this sports car was too luxurious, Belmode himself was a little unrealistic, and Lin Xinyi felt that he was going to the police with his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department in a trance.

Finally, he felt that something was not quite right...

Belmode, a hardcore criminal, is so cooperative in helping to solve the case, even more enthusiastic about the case than he is.

Unconsciously, the thousand-faced witch of this organization seems to have become the main force of criminal investigation in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The last time it was a member of the organization who died, it makes sense that Belmode was so enthusiastic."

"But this case has nothing to do with the interests of the organization, but she cares more than last time."

"Sure enough..."

Lin Xinyi thought so in his heart, so he simply asked bluntly:

"Teacher, it's because this case is related to Miss Maorilan, because the murderer's target may also include Miss Maori."

"Do you care so much about solving the case?"

Belmode was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:

"You noticed."

"What does Miss Maori have to do with you?" Lin Xinyi asked nervously and expectantly.

"It's the teacher's secret, and the secret is..."

Belmode was silent, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel.

And after a rhythmic beating, Lin Xinyi only had a smile to wait:

"Look out the window—"

"It turns out that the legendary 'Water Crystal' is near this hospital!"

She actually treated Lin Xinyi as a child, and used the trick of "look at aliens" to perfunctory the question that Lin Xinyi was looking forward to.

"......" Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while.

But I have to say that the trick of "quick look" is indeed tried.

Although Lin Xinyi didn't want to play such a childish game with the teacher, he still couldn't help but follow Belmode's gaze and turned his head to look out the window.

And there was a strange scene outside the window, which happened to meet his eyes:

I saw a strange and magnificent skyscraper, standing alone in the harbor of Tokyo.

The majestic building is like a jewel embedded in the sea, surrounded on all sides by turquoise waters, with only a suspended tram track that connects it to the land from a distance.

"Water Crystal..."

Lin Xinyi also knows the name of this building:

Water crystal, which has often appeared on television lately, is a skyscraper on the water built entirely on an artificial island invested by a wealthy man.

"It's alone in the sea, and you can only get in and out by tram."

"In reality, there shouldn't be such a strange building..."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but sigh for this rare spectacle.

And when he unconsciously sighed, the sports car had slowly stopped:

"Let's go, the hospital has arrived."

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

When Shinichi Hayashi and Belmode arrived at the hospital ward, they were greeted by the Maori father and daughter, as well as Hiroki Tsuji, who brought Hiroki Tsuji to the hospital together in the middle of the night.

In addition, several police officers who were sent to protect Hiroki Tsuji were also stationed outside the ward at the moment.

"How is Mr. Tsuji?"

Seeing Hiroki Tsuji, who was sleeping on the hospital bed, Lin Xinyi frowned.

"The person is fine, but he is still unconscious."

"The doctor said that Mr. Tsuji should wake up soon."

"That's good." Lin Xin nodded: "When Mr. Tsuji wakes up, I want to ask some questions." ”

"This..."

Mao Lilan replied a little helplessly:

"I'm afraid Mr. Tsuji won't be able to answer anything."

"He woke up once when he was rescued, but he didn't seem to remember anything because he had drunk too much."

"Is it..."Lin Xinyi thoughtfully moved his gaze to Sawaki Fair, who was sitting outside the ward, waiting: "Who is this?" ”

"This is Mr. Sawaki." Maolilan carefully explained:

"He's a friend of my dad, and he knows Mr. Tsuji."

"When Mr. Tsuji had an accident yesterday, he was at the scene just like my father."

"Oh?"

Lin Xinyi's gaze became a little subtle:

This Mr. Sawaki is also a friend of Uncle Maori?

Then he must be very familiar with Mori Kogoro's social circle and meet the conditions for committing crimes.

Moreover, it happened to appear at the scene of yesterday's "accident".

This guy is suspicious.

Lin Xinyi looked at Zemu Fair carefully.

And seeing Zemu Fair's calm and unintentional appearance, he simply didn't go to talk to this Mr. Zemu, but continued to whisper to Mao Lilan:

"Miss Maori, are you sure what happened last night was an accident?"

"It's... I'm sure. ”

Maolilan hesitated, but finally nodded vigorously.

As she spoke, she seriously recounted the situation of her own injury examination for Hiroki Tsuji yesterday.

"Apart from the pillow marks on the face, there was no other damage to the whole body."

"The buccal mucosa, lip mucosa, and facial muscles are intact, and there is no subcutaneous bleeding on the scalp, and there is no hair loss caused by violence."

"If that's the case..."

"Indeed, it can only be explained by accident."

Lin Xinyi muttered and repeated the results of Mao Lilan's examination, and simply did it himself, and re-examined the body surface of Hiroki Tsuji on the sickbed.

Compared to when he was first discovered in the middle of the night, the bruising and swelling on Hiroki Tsuji's face had subsided a lot.

But I can vaguely see that there is a large area of cyanosis from the cheeks to the neck and even the shoulders.

"The signs of suffocation are serious..."

"Generally, people who are suffocated to death rarely have such a serious cyanosis of the face."

"I guess it's because I've been stuffed for too long, right?"

Maorilan explains:

"I've talked to the guests who drank with Mr. Tsuji."

"When I went upstairs to look for them, they had been sleeping upstairs for a while."

"He should have been stuffed for a long time... In that situation of breathing obstruction, if he wasn't in good physical fitness, he might have suffocated to death. ”

"Hmm..."Lin Xin nodded in agreement:

Theoretically, the process of asphyxia can be divided into the prephase, inspiratory dyspnea, expiratory dyspnea, terminal non-breathing, and respiratory arrest.

The whole process is actually very long, in the final respiratory arrest period, the breathing stops, but there is still a weak heartbeat, which lasts for a few minutes to tens of minutes before death.

But in reality, people often don't last that long.

This is because at any stage of the asphyxia process, the patient can die suddenly due to cardiac arrest.

The better your physical fitness, the longer you can survive suffocation.

And the longer you persist in it, the more obvious the signs of suffocation will appear on your body.

So according to Maoliran, if Hiroki Tsuji was really stuffed for a long time before being discovered, and after a long period of suffocation, it is indeed possible that such a serious cyanosis may occur.

"At the moment... It does look like an accident. ”

Lin Xinyi carefully checked and found that Mao Lilan's judgment was not wrong.

Let him come, and he can only come to the conclusion of "accident".

"That..."

Lin Xinyi changed his mind and asked:

"Miss Mori, are you sure that Mr. Hiroki Tsuji fell on the pillow by himself?"

"Could it be that someone took advantage of his drunkenness to deliberately put him in this position?"

Sometimes, accidents can be man-made.

Just like Lin Xinyi said, while others were drunk, let him sleep with his face lying on the pillow.

People who are heavily drunk have limp muscles and have difficulty rolling over in their sleep.

And if you don't succeed in turning over when you are suffocating, you may suffocate yourself to death.

So Lin Xinyi couldn't help but wonder if Hiroki Tsuji was deliberately posed like this and artificially created an accident.

But Maoliran's answer was:

"No, my dad remembers it very well..."

"Before he broke it, he saw that Mr. Tsuji was swaying and sleeping on his pillow."

"Is that so..."

Lin Xinyi's gaze became solemn:

The deceased was lying on the pillow by himself, so this incident is indeed a simple accident with a high probability.

"Mr. Lin, I know what you're thinking..."

Mao Lilan leaned into his ear and said in a low voice:

"I was suspicious of Mr. Sawaki at first."

"So after that, I asked a few of Mr. Tsuji's friends at the party."

"According to them, Mr. Sawaki and Mr. Tsuji are actually not very acquainted."

"He's only been invited by Mr. Tsuji to a few meetings, and there's nothing particularly unpleasant... Therefore, he had no reason to attack Mr. Tsuji at all. ”

From the perspective of others, Sawaki has no motive to kill Hiroki Tsuji at all.

They just had a few minor contacts at work.

Hiroki Tsuji may have made a few jokes about Sawaki at the party, but that level of joke is definitely not serious enough in the eyes of others to kill someone.

After all, if you come out to work in the service industry, how can you not run into a few Shabi all year round.

If you get a few jokes from a guest, you're going to kill someone...

How did Sawaki Fair keep working for so many years?

Everyone thinks so, so judging by normal people's thinking, Sawaki Fair doesn't look like a murderer at all.

"I see, Miss Maori, you've done some research on this."

Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly:

I did a physical examination as soon as possible, surveyed the scene, and secretly investigated the relationship between Fair Sawaki and Hiroki Tsuji.

Maolilan has done it carefully enough.

She didn't pat her head and come to the conclusion that it was "an accident", but after a very rigorous judgment.

"But..."Lin Xinyi paused slightly:

"You go out and talk to those two police officers, so that they can be fair with Zemu at all times."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked surprised: "What, Mr. Lin... Am I wrong in my judgment? ”

"Isn't Mr. Tsuji's suffocation an accident?"

"No, it was probably an accident."

Lin Xinyi did not make up his mind.

Staring at the speckles that appeared on Hiroki Tsuji's shoulders and upper chest, his gaze became extremely serious:

"But there's another unlikely possibility..."

"Mr. Tokutsuji is awake before we can tell."
