In the box on the second floor of the Rice Flower Hotel, he wears a white mask on his face, black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and even arranges his hair into smooth hair, in order to disguise his appearance, and it is not Hoshino Terumi who wants to avoid him, but the police who will be waiting for the scene.

Ritsu Sasashima skillfully put on white gloves and squatted beside the murdered man to check the head injury, and the vodka next to him didn't know where to take out a figure-eight beard and put it on himself, and his small eyes still glanced at Kaoru Kusano who was frightened next to him from time to time, and he was not a qualified "detective assistant" at all.

The ponytail girl in the gray lady's professional suit questioned loudly after seeing the two suddenly break in: "Hey! Who are you two? Whoever let you in, I've already called the police! ”

Seeing this, Vodka hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "This lady, we are not suspicious characters, he is Detective McCarron, and I am his detective assistant Walker." ”

The corners of Ritsu Sasashima's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't expect him to be quite witty, and he knew how to use the code name as a pseudonym.

"Detective?" The ponytail girl was obviously suspicious, she held out her finger and pointed at the Macallan and asked, "Then why is this detective still wearing a mask, it looks suspicious." ”

"Of course, it's because he has a cold, and if you don't wear a mask, it's not good to infect you."

Sashima Ritsu coughed twice very cooperatively, and deliberately made his nasal voice thicker, and said in a suppressed voice: "I'm sorry, it may have been cold in the hall outside just now, and I had rhinitis." ”

Hoshino Terumi, who had been observing Ritsu Sasashima from the side, couldn't help but think: He should be the nasty fake fan just now, so the friend he said was this strong man with a weird mustache?

Detectives and detective assistants? It feels quite interesting, and she didn't debunk McAllan's "real name" called Kamijo Sota.

Ritsu Sasashima examined the victim's injuries, and found no restraint injuries on his limbs, and no other injuries on his body.

There were a total of three wounds to the head, the first blow was to the jaw that caused the deceased to fall into a coma, and the second and third blows were concentrated in the temple, causing a large number of blood vessels under the skin to rupture and cause massive bleeding.

After learning the reason, Ritsu Sasashima said, "The victim was a blood vessel ruptured and hemorrhagic due to a heavy blow to the temple, and he is now in the brain stem death caused by a head injury. ”

He stood up and looked at the ponytail girl, and said indifferently: "If you are willing to pay an expensive rescue fee, you can send him to the hospital for 12 hours of symbolic rescue." So, did you get an ambulance to come? ”

The ponytail girl was stunned for a moment, she shook her head and said, "I just sniffed and found that I was no longer breathing... I only called the police. ”

"I don't understand professional knowledge, but I can understand it, anyway, when he is sent to the hospital, he can only use drugs to maintain his breathing, and his behavior is more humanitarian, but it is meaningless for life."

It's not that Ritsu Sasashima is indifferent, but it's that brain stem death like this, coupled with massive intracranial and intracranial hemorrhage, is impossible to save people according to the concept of modern medicine. In this case, there is no need to increase the financial burden, and at the same time, there is no need to toss for more than ten hours to make him suffer again.

Vodka didn't expect McCarran to be so professional, worthy of being a scientific researcher in the organization, and his head is smart! If he had half his IQ... Hehe, you can be as good as your big brother.

Hoshino Terumi didn't expect this nasty fake fan to have two brushes, and she was curious: "Do you often investigate cases?" I feel very proficient. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly under the mask, and Ritsu Sasashima wanted to say: Because investigating cases is my old job, I am naturally very skilled.

Ritsu Sasashima naturally couldn't say what was in his heart, he just wanted to solve the case quickly and then evacuate here, looked up at these suspects, and asked aloud: "What is the relationship between the victim and you?" Can you tell me about that? ”

Terumi Hoshino leaned against the wall with her hands folded over her chest, she was quite interested in McCarron, and took the initiative to reply: "He is a professional photographer, and he is here today to take photos of our book signing, his name is Matsuichiro Takahashi." ”

"Oh, thank you." Ritsu Sasashima walked up to Vodka and whispered, "Vodka, help me find out if there are any sticks at the scene." ”

"Huh? Are you saying that the murder weapon is like that? ”

"Hmm."

Vodka immediately put on gloves and began to rummage, probably because Ritsu Sasashima's professionalism was high enough, and none of these people suspected his identity as a detective, so they acquiesced to Vodka's behavior.

After all, if you stop it at this time, the degree of suspicion will increase, and the reason why the murderer does not stop it should be to take this into account.

"May I take the liberty of asking, are all of you who have entered here in less than half an hour?" Ritsu Sasashima asked.

Kaoru Kusano shook her head and explained, "No, because our signing sessions are staggered, Terumi and I are in the same batch of rest, and Yoko and Yuki are in another batch. ”

"In other words, the one who has the opportunity to kill Mr. Takahashi is the two of you plus this lady who doesn't know her name." Ritsu Sasashima raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the vodka who was seriously looking for the murder weapon, it seemed that he knew this, so he let himself clear Kaoru Kusano's suspicions.

Isn't he afraid that Kaoru Kusano is the real murderer?

"What's your name?"

The ponytail girl explained, "I'm the agent of the Earth Lady team, my name is Mika Yamada, and I did go in and out of the box at that time. ”

"Who was the first discoverer?"

"It's me." Kaoru Kusano raised his hand and said, "I screamed when I was scared, and Terumi came in later, followed by Mika-san and Yoko and Yuki who came after hearing the news. ”

Ritsu Sasashima has a headache, and the first discoverer is the most susceptible to suspicion.

Just as he was about to examine the victim's belongings, there was a commotion outside the door, presumably by the police.

"Mr. Police, the scene of the crime is inside."

"Okay, you guys maintain order at the scene, be sure to let the onlookers not step into the cordon, let's take action!"

"Yes!"

When Twilight Thirteen entered the scene of the crime, he noticed that there were a lot of people inside, and there was even a man wearing a mask squatting next to the corpse groping for something, and he immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you doing, how can you destroy the crime scene at will!" ”

Vodka, who was looking for the murder weapon, found that the police were coming, and immediately turned around and explained: "Mr. Police, we are not suspicious characters, he is Detective McCarron, and I am his assistant." ”

"Detective?"

Detectives are already a gray profession, and as a police officer, Twilight Thirteen naturally doesn't like detectives very much, especially detectives who have never heard of the name, if he destroys the crime scene and makes it impossible for him to solve the case, wouldn't it be the end.

"You two hurry up and get me out of here, here our police take over."

Ritsu Sasashima was very happy to hear this, and he was finally able to retreat.

However, Vodka's next words made him feel like his heart had been thrown directly into the icy Tokyo Bay.
