At the same time, the system task prompt pops up.

[Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case]

[Task requirements: Request to identify and capture the murderer alive]

[Task reward: 3000 general skill proficiency]

Qin Zhibo glanced at the task requirements and immediately realized something was wrong.

This mission is different from the previous case branches. There is no time limit and you have to capture them alive.

Moreover, the mission rewards are much higher than those of ordinary cases.

You must know that the general Blizzard Villa mode only rewards 1,000.

Is the murderer this time very unusual?

At this moment, Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood behind Keito Hota's body, looked at the back of Keito Hota's head and said, "You can see bleeding spots in this position of the deceased. It must have been traumatized during his lifetime, right?"

Takagi looked at the location pointed by Nanatsuki Koshimizu and quickly introduced: "The forensic department has discovered that location, but there are no fatal injuries there."

"It should be that the murderer knocked Mr. Hotta unconscious from behind and then tied him to a chair..."

"But other than that, no other injuries were found on the deceased."

The corpse investigation is not very good in this regard. It can only report back the real cause of death, while other injuries are selectively ignored.

Qin Zhibo came behind the corpse, took a look at the injury on the back of Keito Hota's head, and then looked at the half-packed luggage bag on the bed. A "little black" automatically appeared in his mind to reconstruct the incident.

"The deceased was probably packing his luggage beside the bed when he was attacked and knocked unconscious by someone behind him."

"Judging from the position next to the bed, the murderer should have been hiding in the closet in advance, just in time to attack the deceased from behind."

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Shiliang Zhenchun held his chin and analyzed seriously.

"The murderer knew that Keito Hotta would return to the hotel after recording the show, so he lurked in the closet in advance."

"In this case, the murderer's motive for killing Keito Hotta has nothing to do with the broadcast of the program."

"And judging from the fact that Keito Hotta's hands and feet were tied up, the murderer didn't kill him immediately. He might have been forced to question him..."

Koshizui Nanatsuki also followed suit and said: "The final method of killing is also somewhat suspicious..."

Although the corpse investigation concluded that he was poisoned, the specific poison used was not identified.

Moreover, the forensic test could not detect toxic reactions...

Qin Zhibo lifted his chin, a look of thought flashed in his eyes.

If there is a possibility that Keito Hotta was killed for some reason, there is another possibility.

That is because he had previously said that he knew the inside story of the Haneda Koji case.

The Haneda Koji case was an important case related to the organization. Keito Hotta's original plan was to discuss this case on TV, but he temporarily changed it to the Lavender Villa case.

Although judging from what Kuri Sanpei learned, what Keito Hotta knew was not a big deal at all.

But the organization is likely to silence him out of caution.

If you think about it from this perspective, the poison used is easy to guess.

APTX-4869.

This is the only thing that can kill people invisible and cannot be detected by police toxicology tests.

In this case, the murderer should be someone in the organization...

"Report!"

Suddenly, a policeman came to the door and reported, "Officer Megure, our staff at the hotel found the staff member who saw the appearance of the suspected murderer."

"What?!"

Mu Mu's face lit up, "Where are the others?"

The policeman stepped aside, and an elderly female cleaning lady appeared at the door.

"That's a man, with long black hair, wearing black clothes..."

"Because his hat was pulled down very low, I couldn't see his face clearly."

This vague introduction made Ming Mu, who was originally a little excited, immediately dim.

"this……"

"Then if you see that person again, will you still recognize him?"

"Ah?" The cleaning lady was stunned, then nodded after thinking for a few seconds, "I don't know, maybe I can try..."

The cleaning staff's ambiguous answers may even be regarded as invalid witnesses in court.

And even if I try to find a suspect now, I can't find one.

Encountering this kind of situation where someone commits a crime and runs away directly, Mu Mu is somewhat acclimatized.

But Qin Zhibo already had some clues after listening to the cleaning lady's description.

With black hair and medium-long hair, the first thing Qin Zhibo thought of was that person.

Scotch whiskey!

Since Gin's death, Scotch Whiskey seems to have taken over Gin's job, and assassination is naturally his job.

If this is the case, there is a way to confirm whether it is him.

All you have to do is ask Tohru Amuro to bring you a photo of Scotch whiskey from before and ask the cleaning lady to identify it.

But ordinary police officers like Megure cannot know about this matter.

"Officer Memu, since this case is not directly related to the content of the show, I don't have any good ideas."

"The only idea now is to investigate who Hotta Kai has offended during his lifetime. Of course, we can also start the investigation from the people affected by his 'psychic technique'..."

"Then I'll take my leave now. Remember to contact me if there is any progress."

Qin Zhibo pointed out a conventional investigation idea to Mu Mu, and then left the scene.

…

After leaving the hotel, Qin Zhibo drove Koshizu Nanatsuki back to the apartment.

"Bye-Bye!"

"Bye~"

The two women parted reluctantly at the door of the apartment building.

Qin Zhibo sat in the car and waited until Shiliang returned to the car and sat in the passenger seat.

But just when he was about to send Sera home, a wise smile appeared on Sera's lips.
