The Advent of the Infinite King

Eda replied: "There is no one else except the chairman." Officer Megure looked at Eiko Toraya.

"Yes." Eiko Toya said: "Because I have information to investigate, I entered the company about an hour ago. After staying in the chairman's office for about [-] minutes, I went outside to drink coffee, of course from out the door."

"Officer." Mori Kogoro said, "All of this is just like what Ms. Yingzi said. The crime was committed when the robber broke through the empty door. The murderer broke into the building after picking the lock of the emergency exit on the first floor from the outside."

What he said was well-founded, as if he had actually seen it.

"Then climb the stairs to the eighth floor. When he passed the elevator on the eighth floor, he happened to meet Ms. Taniguchi coming out. The murderer immediately assassinated Ms. Taniguchi, and then used the stairs to escape outside."

Police officer Mugure bowed his head in thought, and after a while he ordered his subordinates: "Okay, investigate the surrounding area immediately." Then he turned to Eiko Toya and said, "And Ms. Toya, we need to collect your fingerprints, please cooperate .”

"Mr. Police Officer." Eiko Toya said loudly, clutching her chest, "You mean I'm also a suspect?"

Officer Mu Mu immediately waved his hands and said, "No, we are trying to find out the fingerprints of the murderer, so..."

"Basically." Mori Kogoro interjected, "It's impossible for you to be suspected, so don't worry."

Xie Chen, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, suddenly asked, "Why can't she be the murderer?"

"You idiot!" Mori Kogoro pinched his waist and said, "Did you know that Ms. Eiko and Ms. Taniguchi took two different elevators at the same time, and Ms. Taniguchi was arriving on the eighth floor."

He also analyzed in an orderly manner, "As soon as the door was opened, she was assassinated. At that time, Miss Yingzi was on the fifteenth floor, and there was no elevator to the eighth floor, so how could she kill Miss Taniguchi?" .”

Xie Chen said: "But the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out."

"Little ghost, don't interrupt this kind of professional work!"

"Uh……"

Xie Chen shrugged. He thought that the crux of the case should be on the fifteenth floor, so he took the elevator that went straight to the fifteenth floor.

After all, it was the chairman's floor, and even the corridors were covered with wine-red carpets.

When I stepped out of the elevator, I found that there were red petals scattered on the carpet. The chairman's office was on the right, and the elevator entrance to the eighth floor was on the left.

Xie Chen walked to the elevator directly to the eighth floor. There were obvious traces of tape on the elevator buttons. Mika Taniguchi was assassinated and killed when the elevator stopped on the eighth floor. Eiko Toya only had a blank time of just over a minute.

If you climb the stairs from the fifteenth floor to the eighth floor, kill her and go back to the fifteenth floor, it will take at least four to five minutes.

The problem is where she was killed... Xie Chen paced back and forth between the two elevators.

The direction where Mika Taniguchi's body fell, the blood on her shoulders, the unnatural creases on her clothes, the petals that fell on the ground, and the tape marks left on the buttons of another elevator.

At the same time, in the hall on the first floor, the forensic personnel were reporting the clues of the case to Officer Mumu.

"Are there no fingerprints of the murderer?"

"Yes." The firm-sense staff said, "There is no way to detect it from the knife and the door of the emergency exit on the first floor."

"Excuse me……"

Eiko Toya, who was sitting on the sofa, asked softly, "Mr. Police Officer, can I go home now?"

Police Officer Meguro nodded and said, "Yes, it's fine to get to this point today."

Xie Chen just walked out of the elevator at this time, and frowned slightly after hearing what police officer Megure said. If he went back like this, the evidence would be disposed of by Eiko Toya.

no solution anymore……

"Miss Mori." Eiko Toya turned to Mao Lilan and said, "I'm sorry, we'll see each other another day."

"Okay." Molly nodded.

"Then I'll go back first."

"I'll walk you to the door."

Mori Kogoro just stood up when a strong sense of drowsiness swept over him, and he immediately sat down on the sofa and passed out.

While no one else was paying attention, Xie Chen gently adjusted his posture for Kogoro Mori, leaned against the sofa, lowered his head slightly, then ran behind the sofa, and said in Kogoro Mori's voice: "Wait a minute, you can't go back yet, sorry .”

"Ah?" Toya Hideko turned around and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything else?"

"Because..." Xie Chen said slowly, "You were the one who killed Ms. Mika Taniguchi."

Eiko Toya's pupils constricted in vain, and she stopped, looking fixedly at Kogoro Mori, as if her mind had been exposed.

The rest of the people were also taken aback, and looked at Kogoro Mori.

"dad……"

"What are you talking about, brother Maoli?" Officer Mu Mu said, "I remember, didn't you just say that she couldn't be the reason for the prisoner?"

Xie Chen said: "I did say it, but it was just a trap."

"trap?"

"Let me first explain about the shoe prints left in the corridor on the eighth floor. By the way, please sit down first, Miss Yingzi."

Eiko Toya closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them, her eyes had become calm, then she walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.

Xie Chen continued: "That's a trap she prepared in advance to make Mika Taniguchi's death look like a crime committed by robbers who broke into the empty house."

"What do you mean?" Inspector Meguro asked.

"Please think back to those shoe prints. Ordinary people should run away after killing someone. In this way, the steps should be very large, but those shoe prints seem to be deliberately walking back and forth, right?"

"So that's how it is." Police officer Mumu said, "It's true from what you said."
