The not-so-big living room fell into deathly silence because of this extremely "impact" scene.

"So, the death of old man Shiben was really just an 'accident'?!"

After staring blankly for a full minute, looking at "Tokimoto Ichiro" who stopped moving in the screen, Araki Sousuke broke the silence in the room.

"Indeed, if the wooden sword fell from a height and killed Chairman Tokimoto, then the chain of evidence at the scene has a reasonable explanation!"

Takeshi Iwata, who has reviewed all the details of the case countless times, frowned even more: "As for the fact that the sword fell from the bookshelf itself is an 'accident'..."

He was 100% sure that when he stepped into the "crime scene", Ichiro Tokimoto, who had a sword stuck in the back of his neck and had no breath, still maintained the posture in the picture.

"Although President Tokimoto's office has a formation he personally set up, and the on-site resentment test did not produce any results, but I don't believe there will be such a coincidence in this world!"

Standing up, Takeshi Iwata pointed to a round and thick object on the bookshelf in the corner of the screen: "What's more, at this time, the Taketori picture scroll has not disappeared yet!"

Of course, it was the "Taketori Picture Scroll" that was still located in Tokimoto Ichiro's office after the incident.

"Yes, I thought the same when I saw this, so..."

As Hanyu Mai pressed the fast-forward button, Ichiro Tokimoto, who was sitting quietly in his original position on the still screen, the orange color on his body that represented heat began to gradually fade...

"Keep your eyes open, everyone."

When the time in the lower right corner of the screen quietly reached half an hour later, an orange "light spot" entered the screen from the other side.

"A new heat source has appeared, and that direction should be the window... What is it..."

The orange "spot of light" floated in the air silently, passed over Ichiro Tokimoto's head, and came straight to the bookshelf.

I saw the gray and white outline wrapped in the orange light spot, facing the direction of the bookshelf, protruding two slender and flexible mechanical arms...

"Drone...it's a drone!"

It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized what that orange light spot in midair was.

"Using a drone, it is indeed possible to bypass the defense formation and monitoring within the association, and quietly take away the "Taketori Picture Scroll"."

Seeing the drone use its mechanical arm to firmly clamp the Taketori picture scroll on the bookshelf, and then fly away from the screen in the direction of the window, everyone felt a chill down their backs.

"First let President Tokimoto die in an accident, and then use drones to quietly steal the Taketori picture scroll, creating this "secret room murder"... The person who planned all this is so scary thoughts!"

"So, that night, while I was sleeping, so many things happened less than ten meters above my head?!"

Staring blankly at the video that has stopped playing, Araki Sousuke's squinted eyes flashed a dangerous light: "Damn...no matter who did it...the price must be paid!"

"The most urgent task is to try to trace the whereabouts of that drone, and see if we can find the person who took the Taketori picture scroll."

Takeshi Iwata took out his mobile phone and wanted to contact the information team, but found that there was no signal in the house.

"Judging from its appearance, it is the latest MQ-16 military drone, which can perform multiple tasks such as all-weather reconnaissance, rapid scanning, air strikes, and information countermeasures."

"Although I retrieved the command record of the remote control at a nearby network base station, the other party's hacking skills are very sophisticated, and it is impossible to trace back...Moreover, after such a long time, the drone has long since disappeared. Where is it?"

Hou Hailudou on the side spread out his hands, indicating that he had already made similar attempts.

"Although many details need to be deliberated, judging from the existing evidence...the person who planned all this must have hacked the camera in the corridor in advance, and when Araki-kun left and President Tokimoto was alone, he used some kind of 'supernatural The trick is to let Uncle Shiben die in an 'accident', and then remotely control the drone to steal the Taketori picture scroll, wanting to frame it!"

"While all this was happening, Aum Shinrikai 'coincidentally' brought down a 'snow disaster' that could overturn the entire island of Hokkaido... Not only that, but according to the information brought back by the sleepers from Hokkaido, it seems that this group of cults are in Tokyo. A bigger conspiracy is brewing."

Raising his hand to turn off the TV, Mai Hanyu looked at Joe Odagiri and Takeshi Iwata who were frowning on the sofa with great interest: "Both police officers, who is the first suspect in this case? I, a weak woman, should not be needed. Have you said it?"

"That's right, Minister Odagiri, our current investigation direction should be on..."

"Iwata-kun, please don't let the suspect lead you by the nose... Dr. Hanyu, thank you for fulfilling your duty as a citizen and providing us with such important evidence for the police to make a new breakthrough in the case. We will review the evidence The investigations related to the snow disaster in Hokkaido and Aum Shinrikyo were also combined together.”

After Iwata Takeshi finished speaking, Joe Odagiri suddenly got up and walked out of the house.

"Given that President Tokimoto's case is full of doubts, the real culprit is still at large, and Araki-kun's fingerprints are still on the murder weapon, and it is also an indisputable fact that he escaped from prison without authorization and assaulted the police, so he still needs to come with us. assist investigation……"

He opened the door and went to the corridor, and told the detectives outside: "Come in a few people, and bring back the relevant equipment that stored and shot this video, and let the information team verify the authenticity."

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that Joe Odagiri didn't intend to discuss with him at all, Takeshi Iwata sullenly stopped the agent who was about to enter the house.

"Minister Odagiri, my subordinates believe that Araki-kun already has a sufficient alibi for the case between Chairman Tokimoto and Taketori Emaki!"

The boss who directly reports to the ninth class has never dared to directly take the actions of the ninth class, but the first time Araki Sousuke returned to Tokyo, he suddenly brought himself and others to the door to "vital person".

"...And his status as a registered spirit remover of the association is enough to exempt the rest of the 'behavior beyond the specification', and he has the right to refuse to leave with us."

Not only that, but in the face of the "alibi" provided by the association, he still acted like he was doing nothing but routine, which made the very patient Iwata Takeshi really angry.

"Iwata-kun, are you trying to disobey my order as the Chief of Police?"

Seeing Takeshi Iwata disobeying orders, Joe Odagiri's expression also turned cold.

"No, this subordinate is just following the rules..."

"Hey, you guy, is the warning chief amazing?!"

Just when Takeshi Iwata was about to fight for his reasons, a tall black shadow had sprung from behind, covering Odagiri Joe's gloomy face.

"I've been upset since I entered the door. If I hadn't thought about your official university... I've already been proved that I'm not a murderer, and I'm still stalking you like this..."

Sousuke Araki rushed out of the door at some point, and in front of all the police officers, grabbed the collar of the "warrant chief" with one hand, and lifted him into the air: "The Aum Shinrikyo is not yet Knowing which corner is waiting for the opportunity, I don’t have so much time to accompany you back to the prison to play with handmade soap!"
