"This guy just got out of prison 7 days ago, and he hasn't had any contact with Mori Kogoro for ten years."

"How could he collect such detailed information in less than a week—"

"Find 13 guys with numbers in their names from a person's circle of friends, make an attack list according to the order of the playing cards, and then design an attack plan based on the life and rest of each target."

"This workload is not small!"

Lin Xin could tell at a glance that there was no way that Mr. Murakami was the murderer.

Belmode gave him an appreciative look:

"Yeah, you're way smarter than your stupid colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department."

"You know, what the Mugure Police Department said on the phone... They have all identified that Murakami Takeshi now, and they are desperately looking for this 'murderer' whose whereabouts are unknown."

"The real murderer is probably also looking forward to seeing such a situation?"

"Teacher, what do you mean..." Lin Xinyi pondered for a while: "Maybe this was planned by the murderer?"

"He may not be what the police initially imagined, some criminal who wanted revenge on Uncle Maori."

"Maybe…"

Belmode smiled noncommittally:

"Actually, I have something more interesting that I haven't told you:"

"Mr. Hiroki Tsuji, whom we visited yesterday, almost accidentally smothered himself to death due to drinking too much in the middle of the night."

"Fortunately, Miss Maori rescued him, and he is still lying in the hospital."

"……Accident?"

After hearing the ins and outs of this matter, Lin Xinyi's eyes quietly became sharp:

"Is this really an accident?"

Chapter 243 Cases that are hard to judge

With doubts, Lin Xinyi quickly followed Belmode out of the house.

They were not busy going to the Metropolitan Police Department, but drove directly to the hospital where Tsuji Hiroki was at the moment.

Lin Xinyi had a vague premonition that the key to the case might be the "accident" that happened to Hiroki Tsuji.

So he was eager to rush there as soon as possible to meet the Mr. Hiroki Tsuji who survived the catastrophe.

"Teacher, drive faster."

Even though he was about to drive to the hospital, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but urge him.

"Hmm." Belmode naturally cooperated with increasing the accelerator.

Her expression was very serious, and there was a kind of concentration in her eyes.

Although it is a bit strange to say so, Belmode, who followed Lin Xinyi to investigate the case at this time... makes people feel a little righteous.

If the sports car wasn't too luxurious, Belmode himself was too beautiful to be realistic. Lin Xinyi felt in a trance that he was going to the police with his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Finally, at this moment, he felt that something was not quite right...

Belmode, a hardcore criminal, was so cooperative in helping to solve the case, and even more enthusiastic about the case than him.

Unknowingly, the Witch with Thousand Faces of the organization seems to have become the main criminal investigation force of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The one who died last time was a member of the organization. Belmode's enthusiasm is justified."

"But this time the case clearly has nothing to do with the organization's interests, yet she showed even more concern than last time."

"really…"

Lin Xin thought so in his heart, so he simply asked straightforwardly:

"Teacher, it's because this case is related to Miss Mao Lilan, because the murderer's target may also include Miss Mao Li."

"Are you so concerned about the detection of the case?"

Belmode was silent for a while, then sighed softly:

"You noticed."

"What does Miss Mao Li have to do with you?" Lin Xinyi asked nervously and expectantly.

"This is the teacher's secret, and this secret is..."

Belmode was silent, and tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers.

After a burst of rhythmic taps, Lin Xinyi only got a smile:

"Look out the window—"

"It turns out that the legendary 'water crystal' is near this hospital!"

She actually treated Lin Xinyi like a child, and used the trick of "see if there are aliens" to perfunctory the question that Lin Xinyi was looking forward to.

"..." Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while.

But I have to say that the "quick look" trick is indeed tried and tested.

Although Lin Xinyi didn't want to cooperate with the teacher in playing such a childish game, he still couldn't help but followed Belmode's gaze and turned his head to look out the window.

And there is a strange scene outside the window, which just caught his eyes:

I saw a strange and magnificent skyscraper standing alone in the harbor of Tokyo.

That majestic building is like a jewel embedded in the sea, surrounded by blue waters, and only a suspended tramway connects it to the land far away.

"Water crystal..."

Lin Xinyi also knew the name of this building:

Water Crystal, which often appears on TV recently, is a water skyscraper built entirely on an artificial island invested by a rich man.

"It's built alone in the sea, and it can only be accessed by trams."

"There shouldn't be such a strange building in reality..."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help being moved by this rare spectacle.

And when he was unconsciously feeling emotional, the sports car had already stopped slowly:

"Let's go, the hospital is here."

...............................

When Lin Xinyi and Belmode rushed to the hospital ward, they were greeted by Maori father and daughter, as well as Sawaki Hiroki who brought Tsuji Hiroki to the hospital in the middle of the night.

In addition, several police officers who were sent to protect Tsuji Hiroki were also stationed outside the ward at the moment.

"How is Tsuji-san doing now?"

Seeing Hiroki Tsuji sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, Lin Xinyi frowned.

"The person is fine, but still in a coma."

"The doctor said Mr. Tsuji should wake up soon."

"That's good." Lin Xin nodded: "When Mr. Tsuji wakes up, I want to ask some questions."

"this…"

Mao Lilan replied with some helplessness:

"Mr. Tsuji may not be able to answer anything."

"He woke up once when he was rescued, but he seemed to be unable to remember anything because he drank too much."

"Is that so..." Lin Xinyi shifted his gaze thoughtfully to Zemu Fairy who was sitting outside the ward waiting: "Who is this?"

"This is Mr. Zemu." Mao Lilan introduced carefully:

"He's a friend of my dad's, and he's also acquainted with Tsuji-san."

"When Mr. Tsuji was in an accident yesterday, he was there just like my father."

"Oh?"

Lin Xinyi's gaze became a little subtle:

This Mr. Sawaki is also Uncle Mori's friend?

Then he must be very familiar with Mori Kogoro's social circle and meet the conditions for committing the crime.

Moreover, it happened to appear at the scene of yesterday's "accident".

This guy is very suspicious.

Lin Xinyi looked at Zemu Fair carefully.

And seeing Ze Muping's calm and unconcerned appearance, he simply did not go to chat with this Mr. Ze Mu, but continued to whisper to Mao Lilan:

"Miss Maori, are you sure what happened last night was an accident?"

"That's… I'm sure."

Mao Lilan hesitated, but finally nodded vigorously.

As she said that, she seriously told about the situation of her inspection of Hiroki Tsuji yesterday.

"Except for the pillow marks on the face, there is no other damage to the whole body."

"The buccal mucosa, lip mucosa, and facial muscles are intact, and there is no subcutaneous hemorrhage on the scalp, and no hair loss caused by violence."

"if it is like this…"

"Indeed, it can only be explained by accident."

Lin Xinyi repeated Mao Lilan's examination results in a murmur, and even did it himself, and re-examined Tsuji Hiroki on the sick bed.

Compared with when he was discovered in the middle of the night, the bruising and swelling on Tsuji Hiroki's face has subsided a lot.

But one can vaguely see the large area of ​​cyanosis from the cheeks to the neck, and even the shoulders.

"The signs of suffocation are very serious..."
