When Lin Xinyi and the three of them were busy doing on-site investigations, it had become lively outside the scene.

The shooting was meant to be big news, not to mention, here is the TV station.

I heard that the producer Michihiko Suwa, a high-ranking employee of great importance, died in his own company building.

The leaders of the daily sale TV station were overjoyed... At the same time, we do not forget to give full play to the professionalism of media people.

They sent reporters, hosts, lights, and photographers, carrying cameras to block the door of the utility room where the murder occurred, wanting to broadcast the investigation process of Lin Xinyi and others live.

If this live broadcast is completed, the ratings can be doubled again.

The idea was good, but unfortunately, these guys were scared back by Caesar before they got close.

The scene was not filmed, but a big black-backed dog was photographed, which was getting closer, bigger and bigger, and clearer and clearer.

Caesar protected the site well.

The reporters couldn't get here to make trouble, but they didn't just go back and rest.

Before interviewing Lin Xinyi, they first interviewed some people related to the case outside the scene, which heated up the atmosphere of the live broadcast.

And among these interviewees, the most photogenic is Takashi Matsuo:

"Alas... When it comes to the dead Suwa, no one knows him better than I do. ”

"I've had a lifelong friendship with him."

“......”

Takashi Matsuo had tears in his eyes, and mourned his friend in front of the live camera:

"It can be said that Suwa entrusted his life to me."

"I will definitely inherit Suwa's will and run our criminal investigation program to fight crime well!"

He spoke at length in front of the live camera, and the more he talked, the more emotional he became, and his voice was almost choked.

And at this moment...

"Woohoo!" A dog barked at his feet.

Takashi Matsuo looked down:

I saw that the big black-backed dog who had been guarding the door of the scene appeared next to him at some point.

With its white fangs and bright red tongue, it slowly circled around Takashi Matsuo, its eyes sharp and vigilant, like a wolf staring at its prey.

"It's... Why did this dog get here? ”

Looking at the staggered canine teeth that were only a mouthful away from his leg and as sharp as a knife, Matsuo Takashi couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"Yes, how did Caesar come to you?"

Lin Xinyi's voice sounded slowly.

In the midst of the questioning, he took the lead and appeared at the end of the aisle with Moriran and Asai Narumi.

The crowd automatically separated a path for them, and the three of them, dressed in similar black suits, maintained a cold and serious professional posture, and strutted towards this side.

"We just asked Caesar to sniff the killer's body odor on the pistol, and it locked you in."

"Mr. Matsuo, do you have anything to say about this?"

"W-What?!"

The TV station staff who were watching around were all stunned.

And the photographer also aimed the live camera at Lin Xinyi's face in time:

"Steward Lin, what do you mean..."

"Mr. Matsuo is the murderer?"

"Oh... That's right! ”

A staff member who was familiar with Matsuo Takashi immediately thought of a suspicious point:

"Mr. Matsuo seems to be a very good firearms enthusiast, and it is said that his marksmanship is not inferior to that of a professional athlete!"

"Could it be... Is it really Suwa that he killed? ”

"Not necessarily."

"There may also be mistakes in the identification of police dogs, and it is not yet possible to say that Mr. Matsuo is the murderer."

Lin Xinyi maintained a cautious attitude, but his tone did not soften in the slightest:

"However, since Caesar sniffed out Mr. Matsuo out of so many people."

"I suppose you should explain this, Mr. Matsuo."

"It's... Am you mistaken? ”

Matsuo Takashi made a look of being wronged, and said in a panic:

"How could I be suspicious?"

"Manager Lin, you also saw it, I have been hosting the live show next to you at that time!"

"Nope." Lin Xinyi shook his head: "You have left among them." ”

"It's at 10 o'clock, the 3 minutes when the live show enters the break."

"That's only 3 minutes!"

Matsuo Takashi said with a face full of grievances:

"The studio where we broadcast live is on the 9th floor, and Suwa is on the 4th floor."

"Ran from the 9th floor to the 4th floor to kill people, and after killing people, you have to run back to the 9th floor to continue the live broadcast."

"It's impossible to do in just 3 minutes, right?"

Lin Xinyi didn't answer directly, but just glanced at this Mr. Matsuo meaningfully.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly:

"It's a perfect alibi, indeed."

"No wonder you want to use such a peculiar killing method, it turns out that you are making this calculation."

As soon as he said this, Matsuo Takashi's heart sank, and his face suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized that his elaborate murder method seemed to have been seen through.

How so... So fast?

Takashi Matsuo couldn't help but get nervous:

Although he also made some preparations to deal with the traces, in his opinion, this ingenious murder trick is the biggest reliance that can help him get away with the crime.

Unexpectedly, the trick he had high hopes for was like the Maginot Line in France, which took so much effort to prepare, but it didn't work at all.

"Running from the 9th floor to the 4th floor to kill people, of course, 3 minutes is not enough."

"But what if you didn't kill people on the 4th floor at all, but shot them on the 9th floor?"

Lin Xinyi asked in a calm tone.

Then, without waiting for Matsuo Takashi to respond, he turned his head again and said to Mao Liran:

"Miss Mori, show Mr. Matsuo the evidence you found!"

Saying that, Lin Xinyi naturally gave up his position and gave up the opportunity to be in the limelight to his students.

And this time, to be able to identify the murderer's strange methods so quickly, Mao Lilan's imagination and insight did play a decisive role:

"It's your discovery, it's up to you to explain it."

"Hmm." Mao Lilan nodded slightly.

She stepped forward and unveiled a clear plastic evidence bag.

The evidence bag contained a warhead, a blood-stained warhead that had been deformed on impact.

"I found this warhead from a bullet hole found in the sidewalk directly below the window at the scene."

After realizing that the deceased might have had his head out of the window and had been shot from upstairs, Maoliran quickly went downstairs to find traces and test his suspicions.

With those keen and attentive eyes, it didn't take much effort for her to find evidence from the ground outside the building:

"That's right, there's a bullet hole in the sidewalk outside the building, a bullet hole created by shooting from top down."

"And the bullet found in the bullet hole has blood on the warhead—"

"If nothing else, this is Mr. Suwa's blood!"

Mao Lilan held up the evidence bag to tell about his findings, and his eyes showed a different kind of look.

Facing her confident gaze, Takashi Matsuo could only pretend to be stupid with an ugly face:

"W-What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

"It's simple."

Maolilan explained in a calm tone:

"This blood-stained bullet found on the pavement floor proves that the deceased was shot down from the upper floor with a gun after sticking his head out of the window."

"The deceased was sticking his head out of the window and looking up."

"And just like that, the bullet chiseled through his forehead from top to bottom, shot out of the back of his head, and then shot further down through the window pane, eventually creating a bullet hole in the ground."

"In other words, the murderer didn't shoot and kill people in the utility room on the fourth floor at all."

"He poked his head out of the upstairs window and shot Mr. Suwa, who was also poking his head out of the building."

"That way, you don't have to spend time going downstairs—"

"As long as the marksmanship is good enough, even if the murderer is on the 9th floor, he can kill Mr. Suwa on the 4th floor."

"This..."Matsuo Takashi's tone became more and more worried: "There is still a problem with this, right?" ”

"Suwa is so good, why do you want to poke your head out of the window and let the murderer upstairs shoot?"

"Because of that call!"

seems to have become a detective like Kudo Shinichi, under the light and lens, Mao Lilan confidently said the answer:

"Mr. Suwa received a phone call before he died, and then he left the office in a hurry and went to the utility room."

"The call was apparently from the killer."

"And the murderer just needs to find an excuse on the phone to deceive Mr. Suwa... For example, pretending that you are going to jump from a building. ”

"In a hurry, Mr. Suwa would poke his head out of the window of the utility room and look up."

"In this way, the murderer will be able to wait and kill Mr. Suwa with a single shot from upstairs."

As he spoke, Maolilan pulled out another transparent evidence bag.

In this evidence bag, there is a blood-stained mobile phone:

"This is the mobile phone of Mr. Suwa, which was found next to the body at the scene."

"The last call he made before his death, that is, the one the murderer gave him, started at 10:00:23 and lasted for one and a half minutes before it ended."

"Combined with the circumstances of the case, plus the time of death inferred based on the results of the autopsy and the coagulation of blood stains at the scene."

"We can basically confirm that Mr. Suwa's death was at the end of the call, around 10:02!"

"And this time, Mr. Matsuo..."

"Just in the 3 minutes when you took the opportunity of the live broadcast break and disappeared!"

At this moment, Mao Lilan seemed to be incarnated as her invincible mother in the court.

She laid out all the evidence in front of the "defendant" before she concluded:

"Mr. Matsuo, your alibi has completely failed!"

“......”

Takashi Matsuo was silent for a while.

But in the silence, his expression changed from panic to stiffness to despair.

Desperate to the end, but instead gave birth to a kind of madness of breaking the jar and breaking it:

"Hahaha... Miss Maori, you're right! ”

"Since you've proven that Suwa died from this murderous modus operandi, then my alibi is useless."

"However, this can only prove that I am suspicious, not that it is the person I killed, right?"

"If you want to prove that I killed someone, you have to show evidence!"

"It's not enough for a police dog to identify it... As I know, the results of the identification of police dogs can only be used as a reference in court, and cannot be used as conclusive evidence for conviction. ”

Matsuo Takashi clenched his bite and shouted.

And Miss Maori is still a novice after all.

Faced with the suspect who suddenly became arrogant, she couldn't help but be a little confused:

"Of course there is."

"I—I'll find it!"

"Then you can find it..."Takashi Matsuo sneered:

"Do you want to check my call history?"

"Or do you want to test my gunpowder reaction?"

"Or do you want to find my fingerprints from the gun?"

He suppressed his apprehension, spit out a series of question marks in a sharp tone, and snatched all the lines that Mao Lilan wanted to say:

"Any other tricks?"

"If you want to use it, just use it!"
