Tokyo Police

"Please step back and don't cross the cordon in front of everyone!"

A row of police officers in blue uniforms holding red batons in their hands are trying their best to warn the onlookers standing on the shore not to interfere with the work of the police. A train in the distance, under the guidance of the police, stopped at a position next to the embankment with difficulty.

"Boom!"

When Lin Xiuyi was about to reach out to open the door, his colleague who had been waiting outside actually opened the door for him one step ahead of him. Lin Xiu raised his head and looked out of the car, only to see several colleagues wearing search armbands saluting him.

"Thank you for coming to the scene during your busy schedule, you have worked hard!"

"Eh? Xiu Yi-kun, isn't this Xiu Yi-kun? Why are you in the car? Didn't the counselor want to be there in person?"

"you……"

"Hey...it's really hard to say! In short, during this period of time, I will temporarily replace Minister Sato and Counselor Nakaen to be in charge of the follow-up investigation of the Marunouchi kidnapping case. Let's go, seniors, let's go to the scene to see and talk about it!"

Lin Xiuyi, who knew that he had been tricked, didn't want to continue this topic. He tidied up the suit that was a little messy because of the car, and then took out the white gloves he carried with him from his pocket and put them on his hands.

Surrounded by many colleagues from the first class, Lin Xiuyi stepped on the steep river bank under his feet and walked step by step towards the Tamagawara Bridge not far away. At this moment, several reporters who had just tried to approach the cordon hurriedly raised their cameras.

"Who found the body at the scene?"

"It was the cleaners responsible for cleaning up the Tama River. When they were working under the bridge piers, they noticed the victim's body, and then Ma Shan reported the case to us!"

"Is the time of death determined?"

"There is only an approximate time, probably no more than 8 hours. As for the specific time of death, we still need to wait for further confirmation from the forensics class."

"The cause of death is..."

"Mechanical suffocation! In fact, it was strangled from behind! There are not many signs of fighting on the body..."

Lin Xiu walked to the vicinity of the corpse step by step. First, he folded his hands and bowed silently to the deceased. After a while, Lin Xiu squatted down to check the corpse.

A colleague from the forensics class stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse with both hands. Lin Xiu consciously covered his mouth and nose with his hand, but, perhaps because of the cold weather, the corpse's condition was not serious.

"Look, the fatal blow is here. The rope is wrapped around the neck and then pulled back with great force. The opponent's strength is very strong, so the marks left are deep. And from the surface of the scar, the skin There wasn't any serious scratches on it, so I think the murder weapon should be a relatively smooth rope..."

"Like... a tie or something?"

Lin Xiuyi casually asked the staff at the scene.

"Hey, it should be something similar!"

Hearing the guess that the other party must be hungry, Lin Xiu nodded clearly, and then he turned to check the situation on Qianye Liangzhen's body.

"Hey... I really didn't expect a person to die like this!"

Lin Xiuyi sighed silently in his heart, then he gently lifted Qianye's sleeves and checked the situation on the arm of the corpse.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, Chiba's corpse looked very peaceful. Although the clothes on her body were still the same as the ones she wore when she disappeared, they didn't look dirty. And neither the elbows of the jacket nor the trousers saw any obvious folds, so it seemed that the place where Chiba was being held should be a clean and spacious place.

"Is there any traces around, and how did the murderer bring the body here."

Lin Xiuyi stood up again, and then asked a series of questions to his colleagues in the forensics class. From a geographical point of view, this is a bridge across the Tama River, not a remote place, and there are not a few vehicles coming and going around. If the murderer carried the bodies, even in the early hours of the morning, it may not be that no one could find them.

"Unfortunately, there are no cameras in this area, but some footprints were found in the grass from the river bank to here. We have sampled the footprints, and the specific situation will be investigated after we go back!"

I heard the other party mention the existence of footprints. Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked the other party to walk over with him. When he was taken to a spot where the turf was bare, Lin Xiu easily found a clear footprint on the mud.

"The forefoot part has deep marks, it should have come down with the corpse on its back!"

"Hey, it does look like this. But carrying a corpse down from such a high place must be a labor-intensive thing!"

"Yeah, Chiba, who is an artist, is very tall. If the murderer is a small man, I can't imagine how the other party can strangle Chiba from behind. Standing on a stool? I'm afraid Chiba could easily fall. Come down!"

...

Listening to everyone's chatter, Lin Xiuyi just took out his phone without saying a word and took a picture of the surrounding environment.

"Try to find it within a 20-minute drive, we're aiming for a clean, unobtrusive place of confinement. Beyond that, it's too dangerous to transport corpses or something. , the cost of crime is too high! Personally, I prefer the direction south of the Tama River, far away from the center of the city. However, the possibility of the opposite bank cannot be ruled out. Also... If the silk tie that strangled Chiba, this is also the case. A clue that can be traced, I remember when Chiba disappeared ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did not wear a tie..."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation, everyone hurriedly recorded the key points he ordered one by one. After instructing the matter here, Lin Xiuyi immediately walked towards the direction of the car.

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

A colleague who had spoken to Lin Xiuyi could not help but ask curiously when he saw Lin Xiuyi leave without saying goodbye.

"Hey! I've already seen the situation here. I want to go to the explosion site of the gas station to see if there are any clues left there!"

"However, Xiu Yi-kun, why didn't your two subordinates come along with you!"

"They...they have other cases in their hands, so they can't participate in this mission for the time being!"

Lin Xiuyi pretended to be helpless and said to the other party. At this moment, Lin Xiuyi's real monologue is

"It's enough for me to be unlucky by myself, I can't wipe out the entire Special Search Department this time!" u
