Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

Logically speaking, this place should have been used as an underground parking garage.

However, considering that there is a huge commercial plaza and pedestrian street outside the aquarium, there is no special road for motor vehicles, so even if you want to drive, you can't drive in. In addition, there is a subway entrance a hundred meters away, so this place was eventually transformed into Logistics center.

In addition to the stage control room, props storage, dressing rooms, and actors' dressing rooms are also located here.

However, I don’t know if it was to save labor costs. In such an important place, there were only four people including the dead among the staff.

"This is Mr. Yasuyuki Murakawa, the foreman of our performance group. He has been in this industry for 20 years and has very rich experience."

In the control room, Lin Yaren pointed to a tall middle-aged man sitting in front of the console who was checking and calibrating various parameters.

When he heard someone calling his name, the busy Murakawa Yasuyuki turned around, revealing a rather honest face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and nodded to everyone as a greeting.

"Hello."

"And this—"

Then Lin Yaren turned her head and pointed to a young woman with short hair standing aside who had changed into regular clothes but had not yet had time to remove her makeup.

"This is Miss Yuriko Minegishi, another 'Venus' from our performance group."

"Hmm~"

The police department didn't say anything yet, Qin Xianshu said after touching his chin and thinking for a while.

"I want to go see the isolation pod."

"Isolation cabin..."

Lin Yaren was still a little hesitant at first, and looked at the Mu Mu Police Department for advice. After receiving the other party's clear approval, Lin Yaren nodded.

"I understand, please come with me."

The isolation pod is located in the last room at the end of the corridor outside the control room.

The furnishings in the room are quite simple. Apart from a large number of water pipes on the ceiling, there is probably only the "big capsule" in the center.

Judging from the appearance and volume, the isolation cabin is similar to a children's toy rocket in an amusement park. It can only accommodate one person, and there is a simple shelf specially used for stacking towels on the side.

Qin Xianshu stepped forward and manually unscrewed the hatch. He put his probe in and saw that there were several holes in the cylindrical interior space, presumably for water filling and drainage.

In the lower part, near the bottom of the hatch, there are two buttons, one red and one blue.

"What is this for?" Qin Uanshu asked, pointing to the two buttons.

"This." Lin Yaren took a look and explained, "This is the safety device of the isolation cabin. After all, the machine will inevitably malfunction sometimes. If someone inside cannot stop filling the water, they will drown. Red The button can stop the water filling, and the blue button can open the drainage channel to drain the water in the isolation compartment."

Ok?

"Did you have anyone retest these devices after the accident?"

"It's been tested and everything is running normally."

"Oh..."

Qin Sanshu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"I understand, Mr. Lin, please go and do your work first."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Lin Yaren nodded in agreement naturally, and didn't suddenly react until he turned around and walked out of the isolation cabin.

Wait, shouldn't he be the person in charge here? Why does it look like he is working for the other party?

……

In the isolation cabin, as soon as Lin Yaren left, the Mumu Police Department immediately lowered their voices and came closer.

"How's it going, brother Xian Shu, did you find anything?"

"more or less."

Qin Ushu nodded slightly.

He straightened up, holding his chin and leaning against the hatch.

"At first, I also thought that the cause of Miss Michiko Osawa's death was accidental drowning due to a sudden attack of leg pain during the performance. But judging from the information just obtained, the truth may not be the case."

"What... what do you mean?"

Police Department Memu blinked and still didn't react.

Qin Xianshu raised his index finger, with a clear voice and bright eyes: "The simplest point is that after the accident, the aquarium tested the isolation cabin and found that everything was operating normally, and there was an emergency life-saving system in the isolation cabin. And the height of the switch is at the bottom of the isolation cabin, so you can press it even without standing up."

"Then the question is, in this case, why can the deceased still drown?"

"If we really want to say it was an accident, then there is only one possibility. The deceased's leg pain was too severe. He fainted from the pain and lost consciousness on the spot. He was unable to press the switch and drowned."

"But I don't think anyone really thinks that."

Qin Sanshu spread his hands and said innocently.

Uh……

Hearing this, the Mumu Police Department couldn't help but blush.

Although it has nothing to do with him, it was indeed his police officers who concluded that he was "accidentally drowned".

You can't even discover such a simple truth. No, you have to give these guys more training when you go back!

"So, I have every reason to believe that Miss Michiko Osawa was thrown in here after being killed or knocked unconscious." Qin Ushu tapped the outer shell of the isolation cabin regularly with his knuckles.

"I estimate that the murderer is probably one of those two people, but as for who it is, further evidence needs to be collected to prove who it is."

"Uh, two people?" Police Department Memu was confused again.

"Yes, two people."

Qin Sanshu glanced away lightly.

"Miss Yuriko Minegishi had just finished her performance when the crime occurred. If she had killed the person, unless she had brought the body with her when entering the isolation cabin, and she had to find a way to fix the body in the isolation cabin, otherwise the shell would have opened when she appeared on the stage. When the body floats out, there will be a certain probability that the body will float out with it."

"But that will undoubtedly leave traces in the cabin, and there will be no time to clean it up."

"So the suspicion of Ms. Minegishi Yuriko can basically be ruled out."

"That means the culprit can only be between Mr. Lin Masato and Mr. Murakawa Yasuyuki, right?" Megure Police Department suddenly realized.

"There is a high probability that this is the case." Qin Xianshu spoke rigorously, "Of course it is possible that both people are prisoners, but that is a very small probability event."

"Um……"

The police officer seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment his cell phone suddenly rang.

He quickly took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, then paused and said to Qin Umbrella.

"I'm sorry, I'm being called over there. I guess there's something going on, so I'll leave this place to you, Brother Xian Shu. I have to go up now."

"Ho~" Qin Xianshu made an OK gesture.

Then Megure Police Department turned his head again and said to Miwako Sato next to him.

"Sato, let's go..."

"Police department, please go up. I'll stay here to help Xian Shu."

Before the boss could finish his words, the policewoman in black stockings interrupted with a smile.

"There may be something else that needs the cooperation of the staff here later. Many things will be much easier if I am here."

"..."

Although he always felt that his subordinate was a little drunk and was not interested in drinking, the Memu Police Department thought about it and found that it seemed to be the case, so he nodded.

"Well, that's okay, then Sato, you stay here while I go up."

After saying that, he turned around and answered the phone and rushed out. His seemingly fat and muscular body actually had good mobility.

After confirming that the Megure Police Department had left, Miwako Sato bent down and patted Qin Ushu's shoulder, who was half-entering the isolation cabin and groping around.

"Ok?"

Qin Xianshu stopped what he was doing and turned around, and happened to meet the policewoman's teasing smiling face.

Sato Miwako deliberately glanced sideways at Shiina Mashiro, who stood beside them and didn't say a word from the beginning, just following them everywhere.

"Speaking of sister, I wanted to ask from the beginning. Who is that cute-looking girl? Assistant? Or...girlfriend?"

Chapter 31 Conclusive Evidence

"Shiina, Shiina, she is..."

"Living together."

Qin Ushu was only halfway through his words when the blond girl next to him who had never spoken said calmly.

The tone was still calm, like a simple statement.

But the effect was about the same as a big bomb falling from the sky... psychologically.

For a moment, the smile on Miwako Sato's face froze.

Half a second later, her Jiuyin White Bone Claw was firmly clasped on the back of Qin Ushu's fateful neck, and the smile on the pretty face that came closer became colder and colder.

"Umbrella, sister, I also know that boys your age are quite restless, but having sex with underage girls is against the law~"

"..."

Qin Xianshu rolled her eyes like Zeng Xiaoxian and thought to herself that she is a minor, so I am not a minor?

"Sister Miwako, where did you think you were..."

He wordlessly slapped Miwako Sato's hand away and continued groping in the isolation cabin.

"They're just roommates. We both live in Sakurasou, just in different rooms."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

The smile on Sato Miwako's face instantly returned to its usual sweetness.

She rubbed the area on the back of Qin Ushu's neck that she had just pinched comfortingly, then turned to Shiina Mashiro and smiled.

"Shiina...classmate, right? The word "cohabitation" cannot be used carelessly. Although from an objective point of view, you are indeed living with Umatsu Shu, in essence, this relationship can only be called 'roommates', and Not 'living together'."

"But Ayano said that saying this would make Ushu happier..." Shiina Mashiro tilted her head cutely.

"Ayano?"

"She is Shiina's comic editor, and she often imparts some strange knowledge to Shiina."

Qin Sanshu explained without looking back.

Then his tone rose slightly.

"Oh, yes."

"What's the matter?"

Sato Miwako looked over curiously.

"this."

Qin Mianshu stretched out a finger, and it was vaguely visible that there was some white powder on his fingertips.

It is not as dry as flour, but it is essentially different from liquid.

If I really want to say it, it should be called lotion.

"Foundation?" Miwako Sato understood after just one glance.

"Yes."

Qin Mianshu retracted his fingers and put them under the tip of his nose and smelled.

"Foundation is not difficult to find. I just confirmed that there is only one spot of foundation at the bottom of the entire isolation cabin. However, the fact is similar to what I thought. It is indeed only this spot. The other places are very clean and there is no trace of foundation ingredients left. .”

"In other words, there is a high probability that the deceased was still alive before being stuffed into the isolation cabin by the murderer. Otherwise, there is no need for the murderer to place the deceased's face against the bottom of the cabin. The reason for doing this is to ensure that he can 100% drown. deceased."

"It might be a stun, or it might be a strangulation, but no matter which one it is, it will leave traces of the crime."

Qin Xianshu stood up from the isolation cabin with his hands supported, and glanced at Mashiro Shiina and Miwako Sato.
