The next day, night, Rice Krispies Hotel

The police received a call saying that a murder case had occurred here. Although it was off duty hours, Officer Megure dispatched the police immediately. Okino, who had already got off work long ago, was also called to the Rice Flower Hotel by a phone call.

Police personnel have isolated the scene, and people from the forensics department have also begun collecting evidence. Shortly after, Okino arrived here.

"Police Department, I'm here."

"Okay, I'll leave the autopsy to you. Be careful this time. The person who died was a well-known company president with considerable influence." After a few words of explanation in a low voice, Officer Megure set out to ask Takagi to investigate.

Who was the last person the victim saw before his death?

Okino's eyes narrowed and he responded in a deep voice, "I understand."

The deceased was killed in an elevator. The murder weapon must have been a pistol because there was an obvious gunshot wound on the victim's chest.

"Tsk, what a miserable death." Okino took out his gloves and put them on without changing his expression, and began to examine the body.

The collar of the deceased was a little messy, and his expression was very surprised, as if he had seen something terrible before his death, which made Okino more concerned. Afterwards, he checked the clothes of the deceased and found that they were empty, with no wallet or anything else.

'Stealing money? No, it doesn't look like it.'

Okino discovered that the buttons of the deceased's cuffs were not buttoned, and there were no signs of tearing. If it was a robbery, the murderer would not have opened the openings of the cuffs idly, and there were no obvious signs of tearing on the cuffs, which was very large.

The probability is that the deceased opened it himself.

'It seems that this is indeed a murder, and it was committed by an acquaintance.'

After checking these, Okino checked the body temperature and the condition of the corpse. The temperature of the corpse has not turned cold yet, and there is a slight warmth. It can be seen that the death time of the deceased is definitely not more than an hour, and the corpse has not formed, and further

This conjecture was confirmed.

Magic Eye, open!

After the identification of the magic eye, the deceased was indeed killed by a gunshot. The bullet passed through the chest and directly hit the heart, causing death on the spot.

The time of death was about twenty minutes ago, that is, around 8:30 pm. At this point, the autopsy work was almost over. But at this time, Okino suddenly felt something extra beside him. He turned around and looked like this

Look, he’s such a big person. Take a closer look, isn’t he that guy Kudo?

"Kudo, why are you here?" Okino glanced at Officer Megure and Officer Takagi at the door. They seemed to be chatting about something, and they did not notice that there was an extra person at the murder scene.

"Um...ahem, there are some things that need to be dealt with."

Okino noticed that Kudo's expression was slightly unnatural, but he didn't think much about it.

"This man was shot with a handgun by an acquaintance."

"Are you familiar?" Kudo carefully observed the details on the body, and within ten seconds he came up with the same answer as Okino.

"Yes, it does look like that. What is the approximate time of death?"

"Eight thirty in the evening." Okino confirmed.

"Um…"

"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"

"Not yet. By the way, how many suspects are there?"

"Officer Mumu is investigating this, and I believe there will be a result soon."

At this time, Officer Megure finally discovered that there was an extra person at the scene.

"Ah, isn't this Brother Kudo? Why are you here?"

"Is this...something happened?" Kudo obviously didn't want to say more and turned to the question of the suspect.

Officer Megure didn't think much and cooperated very well and asked Officer Takagi to bring the suspect over.

There are four suspects in total, three men and one woman, which breaks the conventional multiple-choice question of choosing one from three. It increases the difficulty a little and becomes one choice four. The three men are all employees of the deceased company, and as for the only woman,

She is the only daughter of the president. What is more concerning is that this woman and one of the three men are boyfriend and girlfriend.

At this time, Officer Takagi cooperated and told some information about the investigation. Kudo listened carefully and asked his own questions from time to time. On the other hand, Okino stood quietly and judged the murderer based on his own experience.

There are three men and one woman, two of whom are middle-aged men with round faces and slightly fat bodies. They look harmless, especially those small eyes. There is no difference at all whether they are opened or not. The third man is a

He is a tall and thin male employee. What Okino is more concerned about is his appearance. He has a shoehorn face, a double chin, some messy bangs and a pair of big eyes. He looks nothing special except that he is a bit ugly.

But among these three, he is the most outstanding.

Compared with the other two harmless little fat guys, his appearance is actually a bit ugly. The most important thing is that he and the victim's daughter are boyfriend and girlfriend, and he talks the most from the beginning to the end and plays the most roles.

At most, the murderer probably didn't run away.

Furthermore, a director would not allow a passerby to have so many scenes. From this point of view, there is no doubt that he is highly suspicious.

Officer Takagi's questioning continued, and this time he asked about the alibi.

At the time of the incident, the ugly man (the shoehorned man) and the club girl (the president's daughter) were hugging and kissing in front of the elevator door. As for the other two fat men, they were watching the president leave.

After entering the elevator, we headed to the banquet hall.

In other words, the victim was alive at the time.

In this way, the ugly man who kissed me and the club girl in front of the elevator door becomes even more suspicious. However, according to the ugly man's testimony, they did not see the president come out, and the same was true of the club girl's testimony. In addition,

Neither of them heard the gunfire, and the case reached a deadlock for a while.

"Kudo, come with me."

"Ah, what are you doing?" Kudo looked puzzled, but still followed Okino to a corner.

"Looking at you, you must have taken the second antidote given to you by Huiyuan."

"Uh, I'm talking about this so suddenly."

"Maybe it's for Xiaolan."

Noticing the evil smile on Okino's face, Kudo couldn't help but blush, as if everything he thought about was seen through by him.

"Hehe, it's true. I've sensed Xiaolan's position just now. That's okay. I didn't expect that your kid would invite Xiaolan to such a high-end restaurant for dinner, tsk tsk tsk~"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking, there's a murder case happening here now." Kudo's face became redder and redder, and he could only forcefully change the subject.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Okino put away the smile on his face and looked at Kudo seriously, "Kudo, I can tell you, you only have less than an hour now. During this time,

You have to take good care of it."

"What an hour?" Kudo didn't react at first, but after a few breaths his expression suddenly changed, "What are you talking about? I only have one hour! How is this possible? Even if there is drug resistance, this time is too fast.

.”

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, which means that ten o'clock in the evening is Kudo's deadline.

"I don't know about that, I'm not a biologist." Okino shrugged innocently.

"Damn it, I still have something very important that I haven't told Xiaolan."

"It's important..." Okino thought thoughtfully, then patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, you go solve the case first. I'll go see Xiaolan first, but you have to hold on tight.

If Xiaolan knows that you will never come back this time, he will kill you."

"I, I understand." In the end, between the case and Xiaolan, Kudo chose the case.
Chapter completed!
