Shira guessed: "I think that thing was either blown away by the wind, or the murderer put the stone in a bag and threw it far away?"

Qianye refuted again: "On the day of the incident, there was almost no wind outside. Even if you put stones in it and throw it out, it won't be thrown very far."

"It will be found soon."

"What happened next? What did that man say?" Sera approached the case from the side and asked for other details.

"He said in a very excited tone, vehemently denying and arguing that he was not the one who killed Mr. Otsu."

"But the answer he gave was so outrageous that it seemed like a joke."

Chiba sighed, "He said that an alien from a flying saucer, floating in mid-air, killed Mr. Otsu."

"Then we got on a flying saucer again, and I don't know where we flew to."

"Out! Aliens!!" Xiaolan widened her eyes.

"Look! Xiaolan!" Xiaohe became excited: "What did I say? There really are aliens in this world!!"

Baijiu shook his head and rejected this hypothesis in his mind. It was not an alien at all.

In other words, which alien would come all the way to Earth just to kill a person, let alone not take the body away?

Therefore, this must be a murder committed by humans!

Shiliang stretched his body lazily, half-closed his eyes, and complained: "Hey, as a policeman, do you really believe that an alien came down from a flying saucer and killed people in mid-air?"

Shira stretched out his finger and poked Chiba's chest: "And then he escaped on a flying saucer. This is simply nonsense."

"Assuming it is true, I think this is something that ordinary people like us cannot solve. We have to rely on the power of the Self-Defense Forces or the United Nations..."

"Of course I don't want to believe it..."

Chiba was speechless: "But the victim, Mr. Otsu, was suffocated to death by a bag-like object covering his head, and finally fell on the concrete floor. This is completely confirmed."

"As for Mr. Oki who fell into the cement with him, according to investigation, he did not have that bag-shaped weapon on him."

Qianye frowned: "There is no discovery around the crime scene."

"From this point of view, Mr. Oki's statement about aliens may not be impossible."

Baijiu tilted his head: "That's probably possible. They suffocated him to death somewhere else, and then moved the body here and pushed it into the concrete floor, right?"

"Sometimes we may complicate simple things. Who knows."

"Well....what Teacher Yi Yu said makes sense."

"I don't think that's possible." Shira put his hands in his pockets and looked inside: "Look, the shoe prints they left on the cement."

"Both of them walked over by themselves. There was no sign of dragging the body."

Qianye speculated: "Could it be that the murderer carried the victim on his back and then walked into the cement?"

"Then after pushing the victim down, he came out of the concrete, put on another pair of shoes, and walked back into the concrete."

"After putting the corpse in the original pair of shoes, he also fell into the cement, is that right?"

"Tell me, does my reasoning make sense?" Qianye looked at everyone expectantly, waiting to be recognized.

Baijiu said coldly: "If that's the case, I think the shoe prints when I walked in with the victim on my back should have sunk deeper."

"But if you look closely, you'll see that the depths of the shoe prints are all about the same, and they're all heading the other way."

"So after he stepped into the cement, he didn't step out until it solidified."

Qianye still maintained his point of view: "That.....that means he got up when the cement solidified and left the cement for the time being."

He reasoned in a logical way: "Somewhere, he disposed of the bagged murder weapon, then walked back and fell in the same position."

“But there’s no point in returning to the scene, right?”

Sera's words pointed out the problem, and Chiba's inference collapsed instantly. He suddenly realized and quickly changed his words.

"Sorry, mine." Qianye smiled embarrassedly: "I forgot one thing. It is said that when the workers who returned to the scene to confirm the solidification of the cement found the two of them."

"They were all fixed tightly, and it took a lot of effort to peel them out."

"Based on what you said," Xiao He said excitedly, "The murderer is indeed an alien, right?"

"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible." Baijiu and Shiliang denied her point of view in unison.

"You speak first, Teacher Yiyu." Shiliang quickly covered his mouth, stretched out his hand, and said politely.

"You go ahead and tell me, Sera-san." Baijiu said humbly, "I have almost no clue about this case."

"Really? Okay, Teacher Yi Yu, thank you!" She responded by showing her two iconic little canine teeth.

"I remember that the man who was killed was lying prone, while the other fell on his back, right?"

"Yeah...right!" Qianye added, "At the time he said he fainted under the strong light."

“In that case.” Shira pointed to the human-shaped pit in front and said, “This one in front must be the trace left by the survivors.”

"Because there is a buttocks shape on it, it looks like the person fell down with the hood of his coat on."

Chiba asked in doubt: "But... does it make a difference?... I think he wore the hood because the weather is cold."

"But," Sera explained, "This case was reported in the news on October 10th."

"That's right." Xiaohe nodded in agreement: "That day is also the day of the Haido Town Festival."

Xiaolan recalled: "It was suddenly very hot that day, right?"

"It's so hot, but he's wearing a hood..." Sera rested his chin on his hand and thought: "Oh!! I understand!"

"He imagined that he would be fixed by cement and fall down. If he didn't wear a hood, his hair would be fixed by cement as well, which would be more troublesome to peel off."

Xiao He sorted out the situation and summarized it: "If that's the case, then the man who fell to the ground with us is the murderer, right?"

"Besides, there may be other accomplices nearby."

Her reasoning was quickly overturned again: "Unfortunately, there is no accomplice in this case."

Qianye continued his statement with a serious expression: "It is possible to enter this school without going through the front door or the back door."

He walked forward. "There's only this door with a broken lock."
