Chapter 103: Danger from Within
The roads in the woods are not easy to walk, let alone run. Fujiwara Yu put down the bucket and walked through the trees with his long legs, the blade cutting his cheek without noticing, and now he only prayed that the reason for the scream was not a casualty accident.
However, after arriving at the base area, judging from the horror expressed by Morishita Liaohei when he looked at the tent, I am afraid that Yasushi Tamamori, who was not present, was more than lucky.
"What's going on?!" Tetsuhei Ozaki, who was still calm, turned his head, pointed his trembling fingers into the tent, and he swallowed his saliva before he said it completely: "Help, assistant teaching him...... He died inside the tent. Fujiwara Yu quickly took out the dust-free gloves from his pocket and put them on, pushed away Morishita Ryohei, who was huddled at the door but did not dare to enter the tent to confirm, and after reaching out to make sure that Assistant Teacher Tamamori was no longer breathing, he calmly began to conduct a preliminary autopsy.
The three people standing outside the tent didn't expect the twenty-year-old Fujiwara to be so bold, and Morishita Ryohei, who was finally relieved, ran to the luggage he was carrying and took out the SLR camera used for investigation and evidence collection from it.
Because tonight is supposed to be a drill that simulates the scene of the murderous eucalyptus, everyone has been assigned a survey tool in their hands.
After carefully putting on his shoe covers and gloves, Morishita stood at the door of the tent with a single-lens reflex camera and said, "Fujiwara-san, do you need my help to take a few photos of the scene?" β
"Dare to look at the corpse? If you don't dare, I'll shoot it. "If you want to be a police officer, you have to have the courage to face a corpse, and this corpse is not so terrifying.
Morishita Ryohei, who was naturally thin, showed a determined expression, and he bent down and got into the tent and said seriously: "It's okay, I can do it." Fujiwara Yu glanced at Tanihara Miyaka and Ozaki Tetsuhei, who were huddled outside the tent and didn't dare to come in at all, and sure enough, people can't look good, and Ozaki, who is full of muscles, is a coward for a long time.
His gaze returned to the corpse in front of him, the obvious contusion on his temple, the shards of glass from the wound and the smell of alcohol spreading from the space of the scene, it was not difficult to tell that the wound was caused by the hard blow to the head from the wine bottle.
Moreover, there were broken beer bottles and a large amount of yellow liquid that was not absorbed by the waterproof material cloth at the scene, and the murderer did not choose to deal with it, it seems that he should have been wearing gloves when committing the crime, and there should be no valuable information on the beer bottle.
"The bleeding from the temple was indeed significant, but the real cause of death was this tie." Fujiwara Yu explained as he loosened his tie, and he continued, "There is a clear groove on the neck, and the groove is located under the throat in a horizontal circle, and the width is the same as the tie, so it can be determined that the murder weapon is this tie. Tanihara Miaojia, who was still sobbing, couldn't help but widen her eyes and said curiously after hearing this technical terminology: "Fujiwara-san, could it be that you studied forensic medicine during college?" β
"No, psychology."
"Then you're really good." Tanihara Miaojia stepped forward, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" β
"No, there's limited space, and you'll block out the only light you have when you come in." The embarrassed Tanihara Miaojia had no choice but to withdraw from the tent and stand outside silently watching.
And Ozaki Tetsuhei felt that as the oldest person present, he had to do something, so he ran to the place where he put his luggage and found a flashlight and handed it to Fujiwara Yu, who continued to investigate the scene, which could be regarded as a little help.
After taking all the photos of the scene, Ryohei Morishita wiped the sweat from his forehead, he got out of the stuffy tent, looked at the obviously dim sky, and frowned: "Why don't we find a way to contact the school first?" Maybe there are some murderers hiding in this forest, we don't have a mobile phone signal now, it's really dangerous! β
"Yes, I seconded it, or I'd go to the car and take a look first?"
"There's no need for that." Ozaki Tetsuhei turned to look at Zhufu Jingguang who said this sentence suspiciously, he frowned and said in confusion: "Zhufu-san, what do you mean by this?" β
"When I heard the screams, I ran to the place where I parked and saw that three of the four tires had been destroyed and it was impossible to use them anymore." Zhu Fu Jingguang put down the bucket he retrieved, he looked down at the sweetfish in the bucket, their current situation is not the fish in the bucket?
Trapped in a deserted forest, with no signal and no means of transportation.
"Aren't we, then, in danger now?" Tanihara Miaojia looked around with an ugly face, how would they respond if a murderer suddenly rushed out and attacked them, and how should they ask for help from the outside world.
"There is a danger, but it does not come from the outside." Fujiwara walked out of the tent steadily, looked at the three people in front of him with a cold face, and said the fact that everyone did not want to accept: "...... It's from within. "The danger comes from within?
Doesn't that mean thatβ
"That's right, that's what you think, the murderer is between us, not a murderer hidden in the mountains and forests." Fujiwara looked down at his watch and asked aloud after setting the time, "So I'd like to hear your alibi for the time period between 16:10 and 16:30." β
"Why this time period?" Tetsuhei Ozaki was puzzled.
"The corpse was only in a cold state, and there was no zombie or corpse spots, which means that the time of death did not exceed an hour. And why it can be accurate to the eucalyptus time of about half an hour, is what the beer bottle told me. β
"Beer bottles?" Zhu Fu Jingguang tacitly carried the portable cooler he was responsible for carrying, he opened the box and took out a can of cold beer, and explained loudly: "It takes about an hour to take out the beer from the 0 degree environment and return to the normal temperature, but since it is summer, the temperature in the tent is high, so the time can be shortened to half an hour." β
"That's right, the beer fragments and the beer liquid remaining on the site have not fully returned to normal temperature, which means that the eucalyptus time is about half an hour, and the time when I heard the scream just now is 16:49, so there is no problem with taking this time period." Fujiwara's eyes lingered on the three people in front of him, obviously trying to see from their expressions whether they were lying when they told the alibi.
But his idea was still in vain, because Ozaki Tetsuhei, who was the first to tell the alibi, was very honest and directly said that he did not have an alibi during that time period, and Tanihara Miaojia, who was in Group A with him, said that he was unwell, so he went to the distance to collect firewood alone.
But after he finished speaking, his eyes did fall on Morishita Liaoping's body, and he frowned: "Speaking of Morishita-san, you have always been based in the area, right?" Didn't you see the murderer? Or do you hear something strange? β
"If I had seen the murderer, I would have said it a long time ago, and the strange movement seems to be ...... Well? Wait until you're all staring at me and what are you doing, don't you think I'm going to kill Assistant Teacher Tamori! As he spoke, Morishita Ryohei found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he hurriedly turned his attention for help to Fujiwara Yoo, and he felt that the more reliable students present were only Fujiwara and Zhufu, who arrived later.
"I don't even dare to kill fish, how can I kill someone!"
