Chapter 1684 Kusuda’s Footprints

"What happened? It seemed like it was a mess outside just now."

At this time, after the police arrived and inspected the lounge where the deceased was located, the door of another lounge was opened next to that lounge, and Asabuki Akira and Osuka Yui were detectives. Among them, Osuga Yui was the first to ask:

"Ah Xian won't be able to have a good rest like this!"

No matter how good the soundproofing of the lounge is, it is not a specialized soundproof room after all. The commotion of so many people outside and the police's movements still attracted the attention of Asabuki Akira and Osuka Yui in the lounge.

In this way, facing the confused Asabuki Hidei, Osuga Shuhei said cautiously:

"Someone died in the lounge next to yours. It was Kusuda!"

"Kusuda...ah, is that that annoying guy who claims to be a reporter?"

After Asabuki heard the name, he seemed to think about it carefully, frowned, and replied like this.

Osuga Shuhei nodded with a heavy face:

"Yeah, that's right."

"But, who did it..."

Hearing this, Chao Fuki looked confused and said.

"We don't know who the prisoner is yet... However, there is only one thing we can conclude. Judging from the situation at the scene, you members of the symphony orchestra are important suspects in this case."

At this time, Officer Memu, who finally arrived here, stepped into the backstage and looked around. He seemed to have roughly learned what happened from the police officer, so he spoke preemptively.

Then, Officer Memu’s eyes slowly dropped——

"Oh! Brother Akechi! You are here too!"

Among the crowd present, Officer Memu saw Gao Yuan's figure, so he came over to greet him enthusiastically. It seemed that he had absolute confidence in the investigation of this incident.

"Officer Megure, thank you for your hard work. What happened during the day...how is it now?"

To this, Gao Yuan responded naturally and asked about the bus robbery during the day.

"The matter has basically been resolved. All the gangsters have been arrested, and no one was seriously injured. It is also a blessing among misfortunes. The rest, Shiratiao is handling..."

Officer Megure replied, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sighed helplessly at what was happening here, as if he was lamenting why there were so many disasters every day.

Then, Officer Megure noticed Shirozuka Hisui next to Gao Yuan. Because he was also an acquaintance, Officer Megure nodded slightly to her, and then walked towards the scene of the incident.

However, Osuka Shuhei still saw the way the police department arrived at the scene greeted Takato and Shirozuka Hisui. For a moment, he seemed to feel that the detective Miss Shirotsuka had found was unusual. Perhaps, this matter It's easy to figure it out——

"Oh, it's really bad..."

Osuga Shuhei sighed depressedly in his heart. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen during the first performance in the theater.

At this moment, at the scene, the corpses on the ground have been removed by the police officers investigating the scene. They were replaced by human silhouettes taped with white tape, and finally a pool of black, which should be blood. It looks like this is The first scene of the murder.

Later, Officer Megure learned more details from the police officers at the scene, as well as the identity of the person involved.

After learning that the other party was a reporter who specialized in reporting on various scandals, especially those who had recently written about band scandals, Officer Megure couldn't help but express his opinion:

"It seems that the victim Kusuda was held grudged by many people, so it seems that the motive for the murder is very sufficient..."

Officer Megure touched his chin and analyzed:

"Could it be like this...Kusuda came to the concert in order to find further material, and then he met someone who had a grudge against him because of his bad reporting. After a conflict, he was killed..."

"But even if that's the case, why would Kusuda appear backstage at the theater? After all, Kusuda had a conflict with the orchestra, so it shouldn't be possible to let him come backstage, right?"

Speaking of this, Takato on the side couldn't help but interjected, and turned to look at Osuka Shuhei, Osuga Yui and Asabuki Akira who were present:

"Right?"

Seeing that several people did not refute, Gao Yuan then said to Officer Memu:

"Furthermore, Officer Megure, the possibility of accidentally killing the deceased during a conflict as you mentioned is basically impossible. Because the murder weapon seems to have been prepared a long time ago."

With that said, Gao Yuan told Officer Megure about the murderer's use of a handkerchief to prevent blood from spilling.

So after basically concluding that this incident was a deliberate murder, Officer Megure was ready to launch an investigation in this direction——

Of course, the members and staff of the symphony orchestra were rounded up by the police for questioning.

For Gao Yuan, the first question to be determined now is actually how Kusuda Rikuyou got here backstage. Therefore, Kusuda Rikuyou's footprints after coming to the theater are the first point of investigation.

Regarding this, Shirozuka Hisui had the same idea, but because he had prepared in advance, Shirozuka Hisui knew the complete schedule of today's concert——

The theater will welcome guests starting at 6:30 p.m., with the official performance at 7 p.m. and the performance ending at 9 p.m.

"Before reception of guests begins at 6:30, it should be impossible for non-relevant staff to enter the theater. The main entrance is closed, and the staff passage cannot be used by outsiders. I have confirmed this."

Chengzuka Jade said this to Gao Yuan.

"That is to say, if it is impossible for Kusuda Rikuyou to enter the theater before six-thirty, he should have entered through the ticket at the door like a normal guest, right? Unfortunately, there is no entrance at the entrance. There is no monitoring..."

Gao Yuan said with such analysis, and suddenly seemed to think of something:

"In that case... why don't you go take a look? Did you sign the sign-in book when we entered? If I remember correctly, when you mentioned the 'Eve Festival', Kusuda Rikuyou also signed the sign-in book there. If you put his name down, maybe he will sign here because of his personality!”

Regarding this point, Shirozuka Jade nodded, and then while everyone else was left behind the scenes by the police to be questioned, Gao Yuan relied on his familiar relationship with the police to successfully let a police officer take him with him. Shirozuka Hisui left the backstage first and found the staff member of the band office who was not included in the suspect list but was only on duty outside the area. He was waiting for her and others at the door. After explaining the situation to her, , asked her to take out today's sign-in book and see if Kusuda Rikuyou's name was recorded on it.

Because the police officer was with him, the staff member took out three sign-in books that were used tonight, and on the second page of the last sign-in book, which was only used for about five pages, he saw "Kusuda Riku" "right" name...
