"Speaking of the secret room, why did you deliberately set up this secret room?"

"Is it to make Ritsuko Usui look like she died of a sudden illness?"

"But as far as I know, Usui has always been in good health, and she has no past disease records at all—"

"Then why did you set up this secret room that completely exposed you for nothing?"

"..." Hoshi Saku was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly:

"It was my fault, too,"

"As you can see, there are many empty wine bottles in the room."

"After Usui Ritsuko returned to the room from the drinking table, she drank a lot of wine in the room, and she smelled heavily of alcohol."

"So I thought, just make the scene a back room and make it look like she died from 'acute alcohol intoxication.'"

"I didn't expect that such a small trick would not fool the professional forensic doctor at all."

In the late stage of alcoholism, respiratory function will be inhibited.

Therefore, victims who died of acute alcohol poisoning may also have signs of suffocation death such as bruising of the face and cyanosis of the ten fingers to a certain extent.

In addition, Ubing Ritsuko did drink a lot of wine during her lifetime, and there was an empty wine bottle left by her in the room, and she still smelled heavily of alcohol.

If the heart blood was sent for testing, the alcohol concentration in the blood would probably not be too low.

The murderer wanted to use the technique of the secret room to disguise her death as "acute alcohol poisoning", which made sense.

"But the problem is, Mr. Saku..."

"You even know the signs of death from acute alcohol poisoning, which laymen know very little about criminal investigation."

"I really didn't expect it. I can see that it's not alcohol poisoning?"

"I really didn't expect that, I can see that there is a problem with the anti-leech link?"

"I really didn't expect that just Caesar's scent identification would be able to expose the mask you deliberately put on?"

Lin Xinyi asked aggressively one after another, his eyes became sharper.

The atmosphere is getting very strange right now.

The police are constantly questioning that the murderer is not like a murderer.

But the murderer kept trying to defend himself in order to prove that he was the murderer:

"yes…"

"I didn't think of that, it's really stupid."

"But there's no way... It's also the first time I've done something like murder, so I'm bound to lose my mind."

Saku Hoshi still firmly pleaded guilty:

"Mr. Lin, do you have any other questions?"

"If not, please send me to the police station!"

Chapter 417 The corpse that was moved

Saku Hoshi can be called a "model" suspect.

Without the police reviewing and examining him, he rushed to plead guilty, trying his best to reduce the workload of the police.

If the veterans of the Metropolitan Police Department in the past saw such a cooperative prisoner, they would have happily gone back to work.

But Lin Xinyi became more cautious instead:

"Mr. Saku, don't worry."

"As a Tokyo-based law firm specializing in criminal proceedings, I think you also know how vulnerable an accusation that only has a confession is in court."

"Evidence, you have to come up with evidence that can prove that you are the murderer."

The atmosphere became even more eerie.

The murderer wants to plead guilty to the law, but the police are asking the murderer to prove that he is the murderer.

"evidence…"

Saku Hoshi sighed helplessly:

"The fingerprints and dander you collected near the door lock are what I left behind when I committed the crime."

"Can't this serve as evidence for my conviction?"

"It was because Mr. Maori found such irrefutable evidence that I was forced to stand up and plead guilty!"

"No." Lin Xinyi shook his head: "The fingerprints and dander on the door may really belong to you."

"But the question is, what if you left it on purpose?"

"Huh?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Everyone realized that the situation was wrong, and the eyes they looked at Saku Hoshi became even more strange.

And Lin Xinyi pressed harder and harder, and asked about the details of Saku Hoshi's crimes:

"Mr. Saku, what time did you come to Miss Usui's room last night?"

"Around 0 o'clock."

"When you entered the room, Miss Ubing was still alive?"

"……certainly."

Saku Fashi was slightly hesitant, and without Lin Xinyi's questioning, he honestly confessed the details of his crime:

"When I first went to Usui Ritsuko's room, no one answered the door, and no one opened the door for me."

"So, in order to complete my murder plan, I first stole the spare key of the hotel room, then returned to the scene and opened the door of Usui Ritsuko's room."

"And I only found out after I went in:"

"Ubing Ritsuko is already alone in the room, getting drunk and unconscious."

"So, I followed suit and came up with the idea of ​​suffocating Usui Ritsuko with a pillow, and then trying to disguise it as 'acute alcohol poisoning'."

"Just like that, I killed Ritsuko Usui, set up a secret room with those small mechanisms, and finally left the scene."

Saku Hoshi's narration is quite detailed, and people unconsciously believe the "fact" that he is the murderer.

But Lin Xinyi frowned:

"In other words, you entered Ritsuko Usui's room around midnight, and smothered her with a pillow while she was still drunk?"

He just briefly repeated what Saku Hoshi had said.

But for some reason, hearing Lin Xinyi's questioning tone, Saku Hoshi's expression quietly became guilty and hesitant.

After struggling for a moment, he pretended to be calm and replied:

"Yes...that's how it is."

Lin Xin was silent for a while.

Then, he shook his head helplessly:

"No, Mr. Saku, you are lying."

"And there are three panics in one sentence."

"First, you didn't arrive at the scene at 0 o'clock."

"Second, Ritsuko Usui was dead when you came."

"Third, Usui Ritsuko was not suffocated to death by you with a pillow."

"Because...my initial guess was wrong, she was not smothered to death at all."

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Lin Xinyi's words were quite earth-shattering.

Saku Hoshi stood on the spot in astonishment.

Everyone present was also surprised:

"Mr. Lin, what are you talking about..."

"Is the murderer someone else?"

"And Mr. Saku, he, he is..."

"He is 'taking the blame' for someone." Lin Xinyi said the answer in his heart.

The relatives and friends of the real murderer take the initiative to take the blame for the real murderer. This kind of plot is not new in criminal cases.

Several lawyers present could understand Lin Xinyi's guess.

but…

"If Mr. Saku's purpose is to take the blame for someone, then he shouldn't be afraid of being caught by the police at all, right?"

"In that case, why did he hide until Mr. Maori discovered the evidence before he was forced to come forward and confess?"

"Isn't it okay to surrender directly to the police?"

"Of course not."

"First, a suspect who was forced out of the crowd with evidence by the police must look more like a murderer than a suspect who simply surrendered himself."

When the police catch a murderer, it's like a man chasing a girlfriend.

If this girl was pursued by him with all his efforts, the man would definitely feel that he knew everything about her and would not have too much doubt.

But if this girl obviously has no friendship with him, yet she greets her relatives and throws herself into her arms as soon as she comes up...

Then people have to be vigilant, wondering if they have encountered some kind of immortal jumping and killing pigs.

"That's why Mr. Saku specially set up such a clumsy secret room murder scene."

"It seems that he has an anti-detection mentality, making him more like a murderer."

"And this kind of clumsy secret room method just left the key evidence for our police to identify him as the murderer."
