Chapter 68 Sophia's Greetings

Riding this strange powerful beast with an unreal feeling, Hui Yuanchu finally returned to the apartment safely.

Lying back on the bed, he turned on his phone, only to find that his WeLine had received a strange advertisement.

——It is the disguise of the new message prompt of the E system mentioned by Rinno Rei before!

Hui Yuanchu immediately cheered up, jumped up from the bed, and entered the E system seriously according to the method taught by Linno Rei.

As soon as he entered the system, the email interface automatically popped up - it turned out that Lieri had received the search information of the Aoyama Apartment from the Metropolitan Police Department, and had integrated the investigation results from the handover of the group to the present and sent them together.

So Hui Yuanchu began to read these documents attentively.

He originally thought that he had been to the scene and had obtained first-hand information with his own eyes.But after reading the files, he discovered that professional investigators could obtain much more information than what was visible to the naked eye.

Trace analysis showed that the judgment of police officer Nakano was very correct. There was indeed a second person in the apartment where Kobayashi lived alone.

According to footprint analysis, this mysterious visitor is a woman about 160cm tall, with an elegant and calm posture, and seems to have been trained in traditional etiquette.

Plus, she wasn't a forced intruder.One is because she changed her slippers at the door, and the other is because her footprints were detected in many places in the room, both old and new.

Moreover, the footprint examination also restored the entire process of her footprints starting from the overturned coffee table and rushing towards the entrance in a panic to leave.

Although it was not immediately certain that those footprints were left at the time of the incident, the suspicion of this mysterious guest is indeed very strong.

The only pity is that due to the severe damage to the entrance, it is impossible to reconstruct what shoes the mysterious man wore when going out.

In addition, except for the overturned coffee table, there were no signs of a struggle at the scene.

Kobayashi Shinye seemed to be sitting there calmly, and while he was saying this, he was beheaded.

This also confirmed once again that the murderer was someone he knew, or someone he trusted very much.

…Female, multiple visits, trust…

Hui Yuan was thinking about these keywords, and his eyes slid to a certain page unconsciously.

That was among the documents at the scene of the evidence, a very important piece of evidence related to the deceased—the ring that Shinji Kobayashi held in his hand until his death.

It is not worn on the hand, but put in a jewelry box and held in the hand.

Moreover, the style of this ring is a wedding ring.

But the problem is that Kobayashi Shine's basic information does not mention that he has a girlfriend who has reached the stage of marriage.

...Then who is this ring prepared for?For this mysterious female guest?

Hui Yuan thought for a moment and opened the instant messaging interface again.

As soon as he entered the APP, he saw that Oro Aoi, Arthur, Rei Ri and other team members he didn't know yet had been automatically added to his friend interface.

So he opened Lili's interface and entered:
"Will the group's previous background investigation on Shinye Kobayashi be more detailed than the current Metropolitan Police Department's information?"

He remembered that before Oriukui and Alyssa entered this school, background checks were conducted on all staff and students in the school.Maybe that information can be used as a supplement to the Metropolitan Police Department information.

Lingling did not answer, but soon sent over the investigation report made by the group a year ago.

Compared with the information from the Metropolitan Police Department, this background investigation is indeed quite detailed, especially regarding Xiao Lin's character and behavior.

Kobayashi Shinetsu is a history teacher at Jingqiu College, where he lectures on Japanese history.

——He has an eccentric and introverted personality, lacks self-confidence in communicating with colleagues, and has a rude and domineering attitude toward students, so he has a poor reputation among any group.

——I am unmarried and have no dating partner. I am just a normal single man who goes to a custom shop every once in a while.

This is a bit... strange.

Hui Yuan was trying to clarify his thoughts when a new dialog box popped up in the group's instant messaging software.

"——Are you there?" the other party asked.A simple question.But Hui Yuan glanced at the sender and frowned.

It was a stranger who was not in his friend list, and the name caught Hui Yuanyuan's attention.

Her name is "Sofia".

Sophia is a common female name.But in addition, it also has special meanings in many special scenes.

For example, 'Sophia' is a very important and special Holy Spirit in the teachings of the Holy Spirit Church.Legend has it that the world was originally just a dark and void swamp.Its current colorful appearance came about after Sophia fell from the Kingdom of Heaven.

In Hui Yuan's system, this name also appears in the description text of power, which seems to correspond to this myth.

But most of the time, it's really just the name of a regular, cute girl.So Hui Yuanchu didn't think there was any connection between the sender and other mythical stories at first.

He just suddenly remembered that Orukui also mentioned the name "Sofia".

…So it’s the same person?A group employee who has a relationship with the disposal team and Zhelukui?
So Hui Yuanchu asked back, "Who are you?"

But the other party fell into silence.

Hui Yuanchu waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but click on the other party's profile picture—normally, he should see basic information such as the other party's department.

However, this time, for some reason, the avatar cannot be clicked at all.

Hui Yuan initially thought he had encountered a lag, so he pressed the button a few more times.Then he saw something that surprised him - the dialog box disappeared automatically.

Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment, then opened the historical dialogue list and searched up and down carefully.

In the clean and empty list, there are only a few system messages, and there is no record of the conversation with a user named "Sophia".

It's like she never existed.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly woke up.

He stared at the phone for a long time, and finally opened the dialog box with Rei Li with a solemn expression and typed in the question: "Who is Sophia?"

Then, 10 minutes passed, but there was no response from Lingli on the other end of the conversation.

Huiyuan thought for a while and typed another line: "In the relaunched investigation of Kobayashi Shinye, we will focus on confirming whether he has a long-term relationship."

Almost at the same time as he pressed the send button, a zero-mile answer popped up in the dialogue window: "—OK."

Hui Yuanchu curled his lips.

Sure enough, as she once said, as long as it is related to the task, she will do her best.In other words, if it is an irrelevant question, then absolutely ignore it.

But Hui Yuanchu must know the answer today.

So he opened his address book again, looked through it, and finally found a suitable person to ask.

——He clicked on Arthur's avatar and retyped the original question in the dialogue window:

"Who is Sophia?"

Arthur's answer was really quick: "Have you received Sophia's divination?"

"...Divination?"

"It must be the first time? Are you scared?"

"..." Although he didn't know the specific situation yet, Hui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief from Arthur's happy tone.

At the same time, he thought to himself... the people in the group are really strange.
