"Good morning, police department!"

"Good morning, Urashima-kun! You seem to be in good spirits lately!"

"Thank you for your compliment!"

When Urashima Yuto entered the office early in the morning, he saw Lin Shuichi who was brewing coffee as soon as he entered the door. I saw him elegantly pick up the long-mouthed hand-washing pot, and carefully pour the hot water in the pot against the coffee powder in the filter cup. Soon, the dry ground coffee exudes a unique aroma stimulated by hot water.

"Ah, smelling this every day is really pleasant!"

"Would you like a cup? Mr. Matsuda didn't seem to be here today, but I was habitually brewing the same coffee as usual. These are new products of Sakura no Sato, using precious coffee beans that were accidentally obtained before. There is no official sale!"

"Oh can you? Then I'm welcome!"

As Urashima spoke, he came to Lin Xiuyi with a coffee cup in embarrassment, while Lin Xiuyi took off the filter cup and poured a cup of coffee from the pot to Urashima.

After taking a sip of warm coffee, Urashima first sighed comfortably, and then asked Lin Xiuyi:

"The police department? Why didn't I see Miki-senpai today!"

"She! She should go to the local prosecutor's office to deliver the materials first, and she should come after a while."

As Lin Xiuyi was talking, he suddenly asked about the faint aroma of Urashima's body, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart. However, when he thought that it would be inconvenient for him to inquire about Urashima's private affairs, he temporarily suppressed his curiosity again.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Lin Xiuyi suddenly remembered that he had something to do with Miss Chiyo, so he said to Urashima:

"Urashima-kun! There were still some evidences stored in Tanaka's forensic officer. Now that the case is over, I think we should return those evidences to their original owners!"

"Oh police department, then let's go now!"

"Um!"

After the two explained these things, they left the office of the Special Search Department together. Then they went straight to the place where Tanaka Chiyo worked. When they came here, they happened to meet Aizawa and Kagata. Seeing that Lin Shuichi and Urashima also came here, Aizawa and Kagata quickly greeted Lin Shuichi. road:

"Police, long time no see! You are"

"Oh, in the previous case, there are some items to be returned to the relevant persons in the case. We are just fine now, so we made a special trip to take these evidences and return them to their original owners. Oh, yes! You come here. What are you here for? Is it because you have a new case at hand?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Aizawa and Kagata replied somewhat embarrassedly:

"There was originally a case, but now it is basically determined that the victim committed suicide, so we plan to wait for the relevant report here. If there is no problem, we can send it to close the case!"

Just as Lin Xiuyi and Aizawa were chatting, the forensic officer Tanaka, who had been busy all the time, finally walked into the room with a report, and then said to Aizawa and Lin Xiuyi with a relaxed expression:

"Our autopsy report has come out, and it has been confirmed that the deceased indeed died of a skull base hemorrhage caused by a fall from a height. In addition, we have not found any traces of fighting on the deceased's body, and no suspicious drug ingredients have been detected in the deceased's body, so I think there should be no problem if it is judged as suicide!"

"Hey, did the shoe print on the balcony have any results?"

"That? There is also a result. It is indeed left by the sole of the deceased's shoe! So, he should have climbed onto the balcony railing on one foot and jumped off."

While speaking, Chiyo took out the photo of the corpse's shoes and the photo of the shoe print on the balcony, and then showed it to the two of them. There were many photos of the shoes, not only the soles, but also the uppers. Lin Xiuyi, who was standing beside him, also glanced at them out of curiosity. Who knew that at this moment, he suddenly picked up the photos and put them on the back. in front of your own eyes.

"That's weird! The way the two shoes are tied seems to be a little different!"

"Eh?"

"what"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's sudden words, Aizawa and Kagata who were present, together with Chiyo who was explaining to everyone, couldn't help but feel a shock.

"Lin Police Department, what did you just say?"

"Do you have a different opinion?"

In the face of everyone's questioning, Lin Xiuyi picked up a photo of the deceased's feet, and then pointed to the laces of the two shoes in the photo and said:

"Here, the two shoes are tied with different knots when tying their shoelaces. It doesn't feel right!"

Under Lin Xiuyi's reminder, Aizawa and Kagata couldn't help but lean over and stared at the photo on Lin Xiuyi's hand and carefully checked it. Soon, the two exclaimed in surprise:

"what"

"No way! This"

Thinking of the implications of this doubt that Lin Xiuyi discovered, Aizawa and Kagata couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"I'm sorry! Do you have any other photos of the deceased? I want to take a look!"

Perhaps realizing what Lin Xiuyi really found, Chiyo couldn't help but panic a little. She agreed in a trance, and then took out other photos and put them in front of Lin Xiuyi.

Looking at the situation in the apartment of the deceased in the photo, the simple furnishings, neat and exquisite hiding, and clean rooms. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help frowning.

"What a neat person! Life seems to be very organized, does this kind of person really go to the balcony with shoes on? If so, the tatami in the room will be trampled!"

"Police! Don't you think this case was a suicide? We found the remains of the deceased at the scene!"

"Leave?"

Lin Xiuyi quickly found the leftover video in the file box~lightnovelpub.net~ and then he picked up the photocopy and read it carefully.

"It's all my fault. I'm tired of my research work, and I'm very tired now. If possible, I would like to personally apologize to my mentor, Hideki Kalai, and all my colleagues at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry. , I failed everyone's expectations, I hope everyone can forgive my cowardice"

"Police, do you see any problem?"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi had read the letter, Aizawa asked Lin Xiuyi a little uneasy.

"It seems that I just said goodbye to my colleagues at work. Why didn't I mention my family? It's strange!"

"Family?"

"Well! If the person who wrote this will not know the family situation of the deceased very well and is worried about revealing his faults, then this will may be excusable!"
