"The deceased was most likely killed by the murderer elsewhere, and then transported to this building to throw his body."

"And this is a downtown area. Even in the middle of the night when no one is around, the murderer would not be brave enough to drag a corpse along the road."

"So, he must have put the body in the trunk first and drove it to the alley that the back door of this building is facing."

"And while the murderer opened the lid and dragged the body out of the trunk..."

He paused slightly, and almost definitely gave a conclusion:

"The heels of the corpse are easily scratched by the metal lock of the trunk!"

"Thus, the strange phenomenon of paint spots and rust in the wound on the deceased's ankle can be reasonably explained."

"I see..." Mao Lilan suddenly realized and nodded.

She has unconsciously invested in her reasoning and eyes on the case.

So, ignoring the resentful eyes of a kid and a girl beside him, Mao Lilan unknowingly became Hattori Heiji's reasoning partner:

"This is a very important clue!"

"Because a place like the trunk lock of a car is hard to be noticed."

"No matter how strong the murderer's anti-reconnaissance awareness is, he probably wouldn't have noticed that the heel of the corpse would be scratched on the metal lock during the process of moving the corpse."

"So..." Mao Lilan's eyes glowed with excitement:

"It is likely that the murderer did not deal with the traces on the metal latch of the car at all."

"In the trunk lock of that car, you should be able to find the skin flakes left by the deceased—"

"And this is the decisive evidence enough to convict the murderer!"

As soon as this remark came out, the case suddenly became clearer.

"That's right." Lin Xinyi nodded appreciatively:

"I said before that the more scheming a person is, the easier it is to fall into unexpected difficulties."

"It's hard for him to notice such an extremely inconspicuous little thing like the trunk lock."

Hearing this, Officer Sakata's expression couldn't help but become a little complicated:

"Yes, yes, if that's the case..."

"Then we only need to confirm the murderer's identity and find the car where he transported the body, then we can arrest him and bring him to justice!"

He echoed a few words, but his expression quickly regained his composure.

Not only that, Officer Sakata also praised with emotion:

"As expected of Manager Lin of the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"The key direction for us to find evidence was determined so quickly!"

"Haha."

Lin Xinyi smiled naturally:

"I've only done a limited amount of work, too."

"Next, we still have to rely on the strength of the Osaka Prefectural Police."

"Only by finding clues from the victim's driver's license as soon as possible and finding a way to confirm the murderer's identity can these discoveries of mine come in handy!"

With that said, he put on a businesslike look, and said to Officer Sakata:

"Officer Sakata, now that this incident has happened, I can't eat anymore."

"I won't bother you to entertain us again."

"When the police arrive at the scene, we will follow them back to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters."

"So, if you have any work to do, do it first!"

"Hmm..." Officer Sakata thought for a while.

He quickly agreed to Lin Xinyi's proposal:

"That's right, the next thing is the work of you and the police headquarters, and I can't help you much."

"Administrator Narin, I'll go back to the Higashijiri Police Station first."

"The police car I was driving was smashed into this by a corpse. I really have to go back and make a report to the department."

"OK, bye."

Lin Xinyi smiled and said goodbye to Officer Sakata.

Officer Sakata also nodded slightly, then bid farewell to everyone and left the scene alone.

And as soon as he left...

Lin Xinyi suddenly turned around and said to Hattori Heiji:

"Mr. Hattori."

"You can call your dad now."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I have an object of suspicion."

Lin Xinyi replied unhurriedly:

"Next, it's time to verify the answer."

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

Half an hour later, Higashijiri Branch Office, underground garage.

All the cars parked here are the private cars used by the police officers of the branch office to commute to and from get off work.

It was the working hours of the police station at this time, and few people would use their personal vehicles, so the underground garage was empty and extremely quiet.

A figure quietly stepped out of the elevator and came to the garage.

That was the police officer Sakata Yusuke who bid farewell to Hayashi Shinichi and others and returned to work alone at the Higashijiri branch office.

Holding a small plastic bag in his hand, he walked out of the elevator in a hurry, searching for the place where he parked.

It was an old Toyota, and it looked like it had seen better days.

Sakata Yusuke took out the key and opened the trunk.

The lock of the trunk was opened, and there was a crisp metal click.

Sakata Yusuke lifted the trunk lid, then opened the plastic bag in his hand, and took out a stack of tissues and a bottle from it.

There is packaging on the bottle.

The package says: "Bleach".

Sakata Yusuke hurriedly wanted to unscrew the bottle cap, but at this moment...

The underground garage, which was originally quiet and deserted, suddenly heard the sound of overwhelming footsteps.

Dozens of police officers appeared from all directions like soldiers descending from the sky, all with guns in their hands.

Using the cars and pillars in the garage as cover, they quickly approached the center and surrounded Sakata Yusuke.

And standing at the forefront of those police officers was Lin Xinyi.

Accompanied by him is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji's father, who seldom goes out in person at ordinary times, the police supervisor Hattori Heizo.

"This this…"

Sakata Yusuke was stupefied in fright.

He stood there dumbly, holding the bottle of bleach in his hand, his face pale as paper.

"Sakata Yusuke..."

Hattori Heizo always has an aura of a superior person who is not angry and arrogant.

And at this time, facing Yusuke Sakata, there was an unconcealable anger in that majesty:

"Are you worthy of the police badge on your body?!"

"I..." Sakata Yusuke was momentarily at a loss for words.

He still hadn't reacted from this shocking scene at all.

And Lin Xinyi looked at the bleach in his hand and the opened trunk in front of him, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Officer Sakata..."

"Thank you for helping us find all the evidence."

Chapter 272 The trick to reveal your identity

Seeing the bleach in Sakata Yusuke's hand, Hayashi Shinichi knew that the case was over.

He was a little nervous at first.

After all, Lin Xinyi knew that his suspicion of Sakata Yusuke had never been sufficiently reliable.

Only through this tentative method can his idea be verified.

But Hattori Heizo took his suspicions very seriously.

He even went off the stage in person, and came to verify Lin Xinyi's conjecture with a group of elite soldiers and generals under his command:

"Officer Lin told me on the phone earlier that the murderer may be an insider of our Osaka Prefectural Police."

"I actually don't want to believe it."

"Because I don't want to believe that some of my subordinates will know the law and break the law."

Hattori Heizo's voice was extremely heavy:

Every syllable he uttered seems to carry a force that can torture people's hearts:
