Curse of the Eye of the Dead

"It's already dead. The knife was stabbed in the throat. It was a penetrating wound. The knife was stuck and could not be pulled out, so the blood was not too much, and there was only one fatal wound on the body. Considering that the signs of struggle were small and no one outside heard the cry for help and Killing these three points in a short period of time, there is a high probability that there is an instant poison on the knife..."

The plainclothes policeman with short black curly hair, Matsuda Jinhei, frowned. He squatted beside the deceased, quickly checked the situation of the deceased, and carefully took out the wallet from the corpse's pocket with a handkerchief.Officer Matsuda turned to look at his companion while looking at the other party's driver's license,

"Besides, the deceased didn't seem to expect to be stabbed, so it is not ruled out that the acquaintance committed the crime. The place of death can be confirmed here... Yan Er, where are you?"

Judging from the situation at the scene, the first suspect is undoubtedly Morioka Ren who fell at the door.

"This guy is a junkie."

Hagiwara Kenji dug out liquid drugs, tablet drugs, and slender needle tubes from the pockets of the sleepy Morioka Ren, and also confirmed the dense bruise and purple needle holes on the other party's wrists and arms.

"The addiction has probably been around for a long time. There are several needle holes that are very new. They may have just taken drugs not long ago."

Matsuda's face suddenly became ugly. He snorted and muttered, "Murder caused by hallucinations?"

Some drugs have serious hallucinogenic effects, and it is not uncommon to injure and kill others because of drugs.Abroad, there are even horrific cases in which fathers of drug addicts have hallucinations while taking their own sons as prey for hunting, and forcibly smashed his head with a crowbar.

And this part of addicts, after waking up, will lose the severe hallucinations and all the memories of the crimes they committed when they were taking drugs. They can't even be tested by a lie detector. He shook his head again and again and said that he had never done such a thing.

Hagiwara Kenji's face was not very good-looking either. To be honest, normal people would not give a drug addict any good looks.

But he still tried his best to analyze rationally: "Although there is this possibility, other reasons cannot be ruled out. After all, it was a penetrating wound. The murder weapon is not big, and the length can only be said to be just right. If you want to completely pierce a A human throat...it takes a lot of strength, and an addict of this level—"

Police officer Hagiwara lowered his drooping eyes that looked very gentle, but his eyes looked at Morioka Ren's figure indifferently, and he continued slowly: "A drug addict of this level, do you still have the strength to do it now?" It’s still a question at this point.”

Matsuda Jinpei said in an unhappy tone, "He's still wearing gloves."

Hagiwara Kenji looked at Morioka Lun's hand: "Yes, there are gloves on, probably used to cover the needle holes on the arms and wrists... So, if the murderer is Mr. Morioka Lun, then the knife should also be No fingerprints."

All kinds of situations and superficial clues seem to point the cause of death of the deceased to this Mr. Morioka who seems to have taken drugs.

If the other party has no way to prove his innocence, the addict will undoubtedly be detained as the first suspect after the police arrive.

May wish to ask again.

Matsuda Jinpei thought that he had missed something.

Oda Sakunosuke and Chacha who came down from the second floor slowly stood at the door of the toilet.

Oda Sakunosuke walked in first, took out his ID from the Armed Detective Agency, and successfully joined the case.

Officer Matsuda: "Armed detective agency? Are you a detective?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "It doesn't count. Our detectives eat desserts on the second floor. I'm just an assistant. I came down first to check the situation after hearing the news. However, I have enough basic common sense and can solve ordinary cases, so please Don't worry, I won't spoil the scene."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows and looked at Oda Sakunosuke.The two looked at each other for a while, and in the end the former did not object to the latter joining in.

While Oda Sakunosuke was investigating the crime scene, Matsuda Jinpei asked his friend Kenji to keep an eye on each other, while he himself walked out and performed basic inspections on the remaining three people who had entered the toilet within 15 minutes. Talk and record.

.

Kitazawa Chacha, ten years old.

It was the first time she had come into close contact with a murder not far from her side.

Downstairs, not so long ago, the kind the murderer might still be hanging around now.

It's hard for Chacha to describe her current mood, after all, she is so well protected by her curse spirit father.

Murder is still too far away from Chacha. Even when the port mafia wiped out the red-haired children, the youngest Chacha was also guarded by the older brothers and sisters at the back.Every older member of the Kitazawa family is protecting the younger ones. As the youngest, Chacha and Yin are undoubtedly the most protected.

Now, just a few steps away, someone was killed.

Chacha, who subconsciously ran down, looked at the deadly first floor, and felt the breath of death very clearly.She was so well protected that her expression was a little stiff and bewildered for a moment.

Chacha was not allowed to enter the murder scene.

This is a matter of course, after all, she is just a child.

Chacha stood motionless at the same spot, until Sakunosuke Oda quickly walked into the death scene, she recovered from the daze and fear, and then quickly calmed down.

She is really calm.

Like a kind of talent, Chacha's brain is unprecedentedly sober, and even the top dynamic visual ability has been brought to the extreme.

She wants to find out the truth.

Chacha, who just did so after thinking this way, opened her warm brown eyes wide, scanning everyone slowly and silently.

—she was watching.

As she grows older, Chacha has begun to gradually understand her own talent.

She is not intuitive.

From the past, all Chacha's capture and judgment of emotions has relied on the capture of other people's micro-expressions.

Her dynamic vision is excellent, and her brain is equally developed. She can always notice the different emotions and behaviors of ordinary people-almost never miss the micro-expressions as short as 1/25 second. This is what is extraordinary about Chacha.

The so-called intuition, to Chacha, is actually a conclusion given to her by her overactive and well-developed brain after subconsciously processing the information conveyed by visual information.

When the police officer Matsuda asked about the person who had entered the toilet area within 15 minutes after the incident, Chacha tilted her head and silently followed the look and movements of the person being questioned.

It is very simple for Chacha to judge truth and lies.

It is not difficult for Chacha to piece together the truth under countless truths and lies.

Of course, the easiest way would be for Chacha to directly ask each person, "Did you kill someone?"

She could identify the murderer within seconds of the other party's answer—it's just that she couldn't give evidence.

After all, micro-expressions... are incomprehensible to most people, and no one would easily believe a child's unsubstantiated accusation.

.

Matsushita Shino, who was the first to enter the men's room, made a nervous statement: "I, I just went to wash my hands, because the coffee made by Ms. Sagawa accidentally spilled on the floor, and the area of ​​the water was not very large, so I took a rag to wash it." Wipe it, and by the way, go to the toilet to wash the clean cloth when there are no guests... You can go and see, that cloth still smells of coffee!"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at Asami Sagawa, "Did you spill the coffee?"

Before Ms. Sagawa opened her mouth, Mr. Matsushita naturally took over the conversation and said, "That's right, Takizawa's thermos was accidentally dropped on the ground, and he tripped over Ms. Sagawa...the coffee was spilled."

Takizawa is the surname of the 16-year-old male high school student, his full name is Takizawa Hara Yukiyo, and the other party is the person who entered the toilet after Mr. Matsushita.

Temporary store owner Asami Sagawa testified for the other party, "Yes, it is indeed as the other party said, I accidentally spilled the coffee, and Matsushita-san is helping me deal with the water stains."

Matsuda Jinpei: "Then when you went in, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

Shino Matsushita shook his head.

Matsuda Jinpei: "You call that boy Takizawa... do you know him?" Matsushita Shino just dropped the polite personal suffix, which is usually called by people who are familiar with him in Japan.

Shino Matsushita: "He is a regular customer of our store. During this time, he came every day. The dead Shibayamabeyu and the unconscious Morioka Ren are also regular customers of our store."

It's the truth - Chacha's judgment.

When asked next, it was Yukiyo Takizawahara, a 16-year-old male high school student who was the second to enter the toilet.

Takizawa said slowly: "I just went to pee. I came out after using the toilet. There is nothing to say... The surveillance should have captured the picture of me coming out. When that guy died, I wasn't in there, right?"

Chacha paused and opened her eyes slightly.

It's a lie.

She stared closely at Yukiyo Takizawahara with a dazed expression.

Speaking of which, that big brother... seems to be the one I accidentally bumped into when I entered the coffee shop.

Chacha still remembered that the other party looked in a very bad mood at that time, and his brows and eyes were full of nervousness and worry.

However, at this time, that negative emotion has completely disappeared.

Instead, it was the calm and relaxed feeling that Takizawa Hara Yukiyo unconsciously expressed when he spoke.

The last person to be asked was Maya Sagawa.

"I saw a three-dimensional triangle sign [under maintenance] on the door of the women's toilet, so what did you go to the toilet for? Shouldn't you go to the toilet? You stayed too long."

"It's really not." Asami Sagawa clasped her hands, stared into the eyes of the policeman who asked her, and said, "The water pipe in the women's toilet is broken, and water keeps flowing out. The ground of our toilet on the first floor was not flat when it was built. The water couldn’t flow well to the outlet, so in order to avoid the excessive accumulation of water flowing outside, I went in and simply swept it when there were no customers.”

There were obvious water marks on the soles of her shoes, and there seemed to be no problem.

however.

Chacha drooped her eyebrows sadly, she had a hard time making a judgment: it was still a lie.

With excellent dynamic vision, when she put her eyes on Maya Sagawa, she also noticed that there was a thin line on the tip of the right finger of this young lady who was very gentle with children and suddenly changed its position. Traces of cuts from thread-like objects.

It only appeared for a moment.

Soon it was hidden again by Sagawa Maya with the other hand, and never showed again.
