"Evidence bag."

Lin Xinyi ordered Mao Lilan to fetch a plastic evidence bag that he carried with him.

Then he carefully pulled the rope out from the lining of the down jacket with gloved hands and put it into the evidence bag.

And when the carrot was pulled out, the mud came out, and just as the rope was pulled out, another small bottle rolled out of it.

It was a small dark brown reagent bottle, which was empty, as if it had been emptied.

"Reagent bottle?"

The atmosphere suddenly became even weirder.

Nakamura Misato's face turned blue, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Ropes, reagent bottles, these are all on you..."

"You look so much like a murderer, Ms. Nakamura Misato."

Lin Xin looked over with piercing eyes.

"I, I'm not..." Nakamura Minori seemed to be dumbfounded by fright.

She couldn't even communicate normally, she could only repeat this sentence dumbly: "I'm not, I'm not a murderer!"

"Whether it is the murderer or not, the evidence will tell us the answer."

"Please calm down."

"I wouldn't use the reason of 'looking like' to judge someone as a murderer."

Lin Xinyi's tone was very calm.

He held up the small reagent bottle, facing the light cast on the ceiling, and observed the mark on the bottle.

Using this transmitted light observation method, he could easily see a few almost complete fingerprints on the smooth surface of the glass bottle.

"There are fingerprints left by the suspected murderer on the reagent bottle."

"And if that rope is the murder weapon, the murderer used this rope to strangle Miss Yuanzi's neck."

"The higher-ups should also be able to check Miss Yuanzi, as well as the skin flakes on the murderer himself."

"It will be easy to handle this way."

"As long as these physical evidences are sent to Kesouyan for appraisal afterwards, we can determine whether Ms. Nakamura is the murderer."

Lin Xinyi always left room for what he said this time.

It is not as aggressive as in the past when handling cases in order to break through the murderer's psychological defense.

Because he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

These key pieces of evidence are all too simple.

In fact, he never thought that the murderer would actually hide these important physical evidence on his body at the beginning, and he asked for a body search, which was also out of prudence and routine consideration.

Unexpectedly, he actually found such important physical evidence from the clothes of this Ms. Nakamura.

The rope and the reagent bottle, these evidences are enough for him to close the case directly.

Of course, the strange is the strange.

Lin Xinyi also cannot deny the possibility that the murderer hid the evidence on his body because he was too flustered and nervous when he fled and did not have time to safely dispose of the physical evidence.

Or the murderer felt that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he hid the physical evidence in the inner lining of the down jacket.

These speculations are all possible.

All in all, Nakamura Minori is currently the biggest suspect.

"So I don't make judgments lightly."

"It is my working principle to let the evidence speak for itself."

Hayashi Shinichi said to Nakamura Minori both as a warning and as a comfort:

"Since all the physical evidence is here, there are even clear fingerprints on the reagent bottle."

"Then whether you are the murderer or not, there will naturally be an answer."

"Okay, okay!" Nakamura Minori reacted dumbly: "Then check now..."

"The fingerprints on that bottle can't be mine... no way!"

"I can't check it yet."

"We have to wait for the snow on the road to be cleaned tomorrow, and we can get the answer after we send the physical evidence to the Metropolitan Police Department for appraisal."

Lin Xinyi came back to the ski resort directly from a business trip in Osaka this time. He didn't bring a survey box with him, and he lacked the equipment for complete fingerprint extraction.

Moreover, even if he had the equipment, he would not be able to identify fingerprints on the spot.

He is a forensic doctor and a half-assed trace examiner, not a fingerprint examiner, which is not his specialty.

"Please wait patiently under our supervision."

"After arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow, everything will be answered."

Lin Xinyi expressed his attitude reasonably.

As the number one suspect, Nakamura Minori must remain under close surveillance until tomorrow when he is handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department.

If the fingerprints were not hers, and there were no flakes of her and Suzuki Sonoko on the rope, she would naturally be able to clear the suspicion.

This is the most appropriate approach.

And Nakamura Miri was still a little uneasy.

I don't know whether I am afraid that my crime will be exposed like this, or I am afraid that I will be confused and wronged as a murderer by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Her expression was still so nervous and flustered:

"Yes, yes..."

"Are Mr. Yonehara and Ms. Suzuki awake?"

"As long as they wake up and tell who the murderer is, they can prove my innocence!"

Nakamura Minori's voice trembled and she wanted to confront the two victims, as if eager to prove her innocence.

She really doesn't look like a murderer with this attitude.

But Lin Xinyi is a forensic doctor, not a micro-expression expert.

No one knew whether the other party's eager self-proving face was staged or not.

In this way, everyone waited for a while with vigilance and doubts about Nakamura Misato.

The stunned Yonehara-sensei and Suzuki Sonoko finally woke up.

Sonoko Suzuki woke up first.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and then, like a spring, a carp bounced up from the sofa:

"Help, help—"

"Ms. Yonehara was killed!!"

"Calm down, Miss Sonoko."

Lin Xinyi stabilized the overly frightened Ms. Suzuki in time:

"Ms. Yonehara is fine, she just passed out just like you."

"Now you can breathe a sigh of relief, and then help us recall, what happened at that time?"

"oh oh…"

Suzuki Sonoko let out a long sigh of relief.

After confirming that Teacher Yonehara was fine and that she was safe, she said in shock:

"As soon as I entered that room, I saw Yonehara-sensei lying on the ground unconsciously, as if dead."

"Then I was screaming for help, and to my surprise... a man popped up behind me and put a towel over my nose."

"And then...then I passed out."

Suzuki Sonoko said with lingering fear.

"In other words, you didn't see what the murderer looked like?"

"No…"

"Okay." Lin Xinyi sighed lightly, and turned his gaze to the side, who seemed to be about to wake up Mr. Yonehara.

He was waiting to ask her what was going on.

I saw Yonehara-sensei opened his eyes drowsily.

There was no need for Lin Xinyi to ask questions now, Nakamura Misato couldn't wait to come forward and hurriedly asked:

"Yahara! Yonehara!"

"Did you see who the murderer was?"

"Hmm..." Akiko Yonehara rubbed her head, as if she hadn't recovered from the coma.

Nakamura Minori asked excitedly, and she answered in a daze:

"No, no... I was attacked from behind, and I didn't see what the murderer looked like."

"This..." Nakamura Minori stood there with a stiff expression.

She seemed to be completely confused by fright, and stood in a daze for a long time before she said in a daze:

"None of them said I was a murderer..."

"This, this should prove something?"

"No, this doesn't prove anything." Lin Xinyi shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Yonehara and Ms. Sonoko don't know who the murderer is."

"The murderer also knew that the two of them didn't see him at all, so the murderer would not be afraid of the victim's testimony at all."

"And you urgently asked to confront Mr. Yonehara and Ms. Sonoko in front of people, so as to show that you have no shame in your heart."

"Although this is also a normal reaction of people after being wronged."
