"But the scene is so clean, so clean that only a few bear hairs can be found."

Lin Xin couldn't figure it out.

But other options were effectively ruled out. Even if the lack of bloodstains could not be explained, he could only choose to believe the conclusion that "the bear was hit by a bullet".

"No way...the result cannot be determined by reasoning alone."

"This conclusion must be verified with practical actions."

Lin Xinyi thought of the only way:

Find the person concerned, no, ask the person concerned Xiong to ask.

After a while...

"What... looking for a bear?!"

Hearing the latest instructions from the forest management officer, Director Kakuda's face seemed completely unstoppable:

"Officer Lin, why is this?"

"It was just an accident... First I was looking for someone, then I was looking for a gun, and now I am looking for a bear... When did this come to an end?"

"Follow the order."

Lin Xinyi didn't explain at all.

Anyway, he has seen that even if he explains in detail and persuades him with kind words, the old fritter-like director Kakuda will always complain and resist the investigation work.

"I will let the Forensic Section personnel sent by the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters cooperate with you and use police dogs to track the bear's whereabouts."

"Notify me as soon as you find the bear."

Lin Xinyi originally wanted to use police dogs to identify the mysterious man's smell.

But after all, a day passed, and the mysterious man left no traces or objects on the scene for tracking.

The remaining smell has almost dissipated, and the police dogs are useless.

And bears are different...

The body odor of wild animals is heavy, and it is not easy to dissipate after a day.

And it also loses hair all the way, and the hair loss problem is more serious.

Those hairs left in the fallen leaves and stained with a strong smell can just become clues for police dogs to track.

Coupled with the large-scale police force to assist in the search, it should not be difficult to find the bear.

"By the way, Director Kakuda..."

After Lin Xinyi arranged the search work, he asked again:

"I asked you to prepare the murder data in previous years, are you ready?"

"It's been so long, can't it be done yet?"

"Um..." Director Kakuda replied with an embarrassed expression: "Sure, it's ready, it happened to be delivered just now."

"Okay, bring it here and show me."

"Hmm..." Director Tsunoda reluctantly sent someone to deliver a stack of thick documents.

After submitting the information, he followed Lin Xinyi's instructions and acted together with the support troops sent by the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters to find the whereabouts of the bear in question.

And Lin Xinyi picked up the stack of materials and began to read carefully:

"A lot of people have died over the years..."

"Including this cliff, several people die in the entire scenic spot every year."

This result did not surprise Lin Xinyi.

Because the scenic spot receives millions of tourists every year, it is hard to guarantee that there will be some people who are in a bad mood and come to commit suicide or die in accidents.

In terms of probability, it is normal for a scenic spot to die a few people every year.

This will not cause any social concern at all.

In fact, many large units with similar risks have potential "death indicators".

As long as the number of accident deaths per year does not exceed a certain number, there is no safety management problem.

"Look at the people who died on this cliff..."

From the thick pile of documents, Lin Xinyi picked out the case materials that only died on this cliff.

"Accident, accident, accident..."

"In such a place, there have been seven accidents in the past five years."

"All the cases were closed as 'accidental', no autopsy was done, and even a few photos of the scene were not taken..."

"These materials are of limited use."

The previous seven cases were all closed in the name of "accidents" without rigorous investigation.

There was nothing left on the file except dry written records and a few brief photos of the scene, and he had no choice but to review it even if he wanted to.

So, are these cases accidents?

Then only God knows.

And with that kind of suspicion in mind, Lin Xin searched for clues in the documents over and over again:

"Sure enough... something is still wrong."

"It's time—"

"These 'accidents' happened all during the off-season of the scenic spot!"

He finally discovered something suspicious from the limited information:

The 7 accidents all happened during the off-season months of tourism in the scenic spot.

Is it a coincidence?or because...

"There are no people in the mountains during the off-season of tourism, so it is more convenient to commit crimes?"

Lin Xinyi had a terrible guess in his mind:

This cliff is located deep in the dense forest, and its location is relatively hidden.

In addition to the death of Ms. Yamaguchi Yoshiko this time, 5 tourists have strayed into this place by mistake in the past 8 years and fell down unexpectedly.

This is also a bit too much.

Saying it was an accident is somewhat unexplainable.

But if someone is familiar with the terrain here, deliberately kidnaps tourists here, and then threatens them with a revolver...

The victim will definitely rush up the slope in a panic, fall into the cliff, and die in an "accidental" way.

"Is it really that scary?"

Lin Xinyi's expression was extremely serious:

He can't just jump to conclusions.

After all, the information was not detailed enough and the clues were not strong enough, so his suspicions could only remain groundless suspicions.

Suppose, however, that suspicion holds true.

Suppose there is such a murderer who commits crimes by "accident".

"Let me try to do his perpetrator profile..."

Lin Xin began to think silently:

First of all, the other party must be very familiar with the topography of the scenic spot——

Otherwise, he wouldn't know that there is a cliff in such a remote place that is easy to stumble, and he would never have thought of this kind of murder method that uses soil slopes and cliffs to create accidents.

Then, through the previous point, we can roughly guess the identity of the murderer:

A. Climbers who travel to Mount Kumgang all the year round

B. Scenic spot staff

C. Local police station police

D. nearby residents

These four options popped up in Lin Xinyi's mind.

The scope is too large, the clues are too few, and it is difficult to choose an answer from these four options for a while.

However, contacting the mysterious person suspected of being the murderer, the important clue of "holding a revolver":

"Police from the local police station?"

Lin Xin subconsciously chose C.

Because the standard police gun currently equipped by the Japanese police is the "New South M60" revolver.

But just because of this, judging that the answer is C seems a bit too much for granted.

After all, after experiencing the terrorist attack of the water crystal...

Even if criminals can get machine guns, tanks and helicopters now, Lin Xinyi won't be surprised.

It's just a revolver. Ordinary people can find a way to get it, not necessarily the police.

The investigation seems to be in a fog again.

And just then...

"and many more…"

"You-Know-Who uses the revolver and shoots the bear who climbed the tree and chased him."

"The bullet must have hit the bear, otherwise there would be bullet holes and other marks on the ground anyway."

"And after the brown bear was shot, it didn't leave any blood on the scene."

"why is that?"

At a critical moment, Lin Xinyi thought of this previously unanswered mystery.
