Net King Whale Fall

Chapter 578 It's not a coincidence
Sanada Ling kindly enlarged a few images, "Here, this is the origin of the marks on his arm."

Captain Ishii had doubts before. The marks on Sanada Genichirō's arm were too shallow. If he was stopped and scratched like in the video, the marks would be left by the dead man's fingernails.

Just looking at this video, Captain Ishii himself doesn't blame Genichirō Sanada for getting angry. It's too obvious.

Captain Ishii understood it in his heart, but he couldn't say it so absolutely. "What you said makes sense, but we can't rule out the possibility that the other party holds a grudge against you for this."

Sanada Ling pulled back the video timeline, "Captain, I personally prefer to study linguistics."

Captain Ishii exclaimed, "So."

Sanada Ling zoomed in on the video and highlighted the lip movements of the two people. She had to thank that classmate for his advanced camera. "So, I know some lip reading."

Captain Ishii was stunned. What?
Sanada Ling said slowly, "Little classmate, don't go. I have something to tell you."

"Miss, respect yourself. I don't know you, and I don't want to know you."

"Oh, we should just talk more and get to know each other better."

"No need."

"You hurt me."

"."

Those few words, without any emotion, actually reproduced the scene at that time, word for word.

Genichirō Sanada's eyes widened. As the person involved, how could he not know what he was saying? However, there was no evidence and the police did not believe his one-sided statement.

Now, lip reading? Sanada Ling knows lip reading? When did this happen?

Kudo Shinichi looked at Sanada Genichirō and said, "There will probably be earth-shaking changes tonight. I hope you can hold on to the end."

Seeing Captain Ishii's blank expression, Sanada Ling tapped the table with his fingertips to call him back. "To sum up, this is the content of their conversation. Captain, do you think there is any sentence that we should hold a grudge against?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, Professor Fukuhara of the Department of Literature at the University of Tokyo is also proficient in lip reading. You can give him this video to translate."

Captain Ishii remembered something and made some gestures towards Sanada Ling using sign language.

Sanada Ling understood and said while gesturing, "Is it strange? I saw it with my eyes."

Captain Ishii's fingers were a little stiff, "You"

Sanada Ling: "I have met deaf-mute people before, so I have some experience with this."

You can know both lip reading and sign language. This is not something that can be learned quickly in a day or two. You say you only know a little bit?

He is the one who knows a little bit.

Captain Ishii took out a cigarette from his pocket. He needed to take his time, but the moment he lit the lighter, he accidentally met Sanada Ryo's eyes, and silently put the cigarette back. Well, don't smoke in public places.

"What you said makes sense. I will verify it." After hearing this, he understood what it meant. "Apart from the unclear timeline, Genichirō Sanada is not suspected of murder."

The male police officer who had been silent said hurriedly, "Captain, how could you do this and listen to a woman's nonsense?"

Captain Ishii shouted, "Shut up!"

Idiot, can't he see whether he is talking nonsense or not? Why do you need to talk too much here? Who is following behind you? Do you really think he doesn't know anything?

He was too bored to bother with me before, but now, if you say one more word of nonsense, get out of here immediately!

The male police officer's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

Sanada Ling didn't talk much to SB. The only person in the entire police station who could see him was Captain Ishii. The others had long been corrupted. "It's not that the timeline is unclear, but that Sanada Genichirō chose to be alone that day. This is normal."

"What's abnormal is the hotel surveillance. Captain, isn't it a coincidence that the surveillance broke down on that day?"

Captain Ishii thought about it and turned his gaze to the old store manager, "What's going on with your surveillance?"

The old store manager wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and said, "There was a problem before, but I was reluctant to replace it with a new one. After the accident, I replaced it with a new batch, and now there is no problem."

Atobe Keigo suddenly added, "The night my friend fell into the water, your surveillance was also broken."

After Mukai Gakuto got into trouble, Atobe Keigo not only contacted the ambulance, but also filed a report with the police.

The old store manager was a little nervous when being watched by so many people. "Well, we didn't replace them all at once. We did it one by one. I'm also very sorry for the accident that night. We can compensate for the medical expenses."

"Everything is new now. The surveillance inside is brand new. There won't be any problems."

Captain Ishii stared at the store manager. This explanation sounded fine, but it was indeed a bit of a coincidence. Two accidents happened and the surveillance cameras had problems both times?
He said nothing, but made note of it.

"Actually," Sanada Ling said, "It's a waste of time to worry about the timeline. Wouldn't it be better to just find the real culprit?"

It sounds easy to say that he can find the real murderer. If he could find him, would he waste time here?

Wait, didn't this woman just say she was a detective? Did she really find something?

Sanada Ling pointed to the A4 paper, the fundamental reason for calling her over, "Captain, do you know who sent that message?"

Captain Ishii's voice was filled with surprise, "You found it, didn't you?"

"The number has been cancelled, but I found where it belongs."

“Where is it?” Is the case about to be solved?

While waiting for a reply, Kudo Shinichi suddenly spoke, and the child's voice seemed a little strange here, "Grandpa, are you hot? Your forehead is covered with sweat."

The old store manager was just pretending to wipe it at first, but now he was really nervous because he already knew the content behind the A4 sheet of paper.

Atobe Keigo's eyes deepened slightly. He didn't think that the kid would say this for no reason.

The old store manager laughed dryly and said, "Maybe it's a little hot. It's not a problem."

Captain Ishii stared at the old man. It had been raining for the past few days, and it was not hot at all. The wind was even cold at night. How could an old man be sweating at this moment? This was not right.

Sanada Ling: "What a coincidence! The number belongs to here. I also found a small supermarket that sells this phone number."

"It's just a pity, there's been a lot of traffic recently, and the supermarket owner can't remember who he sold the number to."

Captain Ishii said hurriedly, "Most small supermarkets have surveillance cameras. Pull up all the surveillance footage from those days and I'll ask someone to check it out."

Sanada Ling shook his head. "It's unfortunate, Captain. The supermarket said there was a problem with the surveillance camera and it was broken, and they haven't had time to fix it yet."

Captain Ishii had a gloomy face. This was the third time that the surveillance had gone wrong. If no one was playing tricks, then it must be a ghost.

Captain Ishii endured it again and again, but when he looked up, he saw Sanada Ling typing on the computer and asked, "Aren't you a detective? Why aren't you angry at all?"

The other boys also looked over here, because Sanada Ling was too calm at the moment.

Sanada Ling said, "I'm luckier."

"The supermarket surveillance camera was broken, but I found another surveillance camera that happened to be able to see the supermarket entrance. After watching the surveillance camera, the store owner also remembered who bought the phone number."
