Chapter 33 Fresh Corpse
Minamoto Tamako thought to herself, "Oh no, why did Fushimi-san play the murderer?" If she catches Fushimi-san, wouldn’t that mean he fails the grade?
Then she thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity to prove herself! Previously, I was teased by Fushimi-san in the painting class, and I never had a chance to regain my position. Now I can finally have a fair showdown!
With so many instructors watching, Fushimi-san definitely won’t be able to do any more tricks. It’s time for him to see the power of the future famous detective and police department!
In this way, Fushimi-san will definitely succumb to the charm of reasoning, change his ways, and beg to be her partner for free - the partners have to pay employment fees, which is really weird!
If Fushimi-san fails this year, he can still wait until next year to make up the exam! By then, she will already be a senior in the Kyoban class, and maybe she can submit an application to transfer Fushimi-san over...
Minamoto Tamako already had an image of Fushimi Shika standing at attention and saluting her respectfully.
At this moment, instructor Bai Tian called their names one by one, and the fifty-two students filed out of the car. The students whose names were called got into the car with the corresponding number. The initial location of each group is different, distributed in caves, graveyards, or dense forests.
Yuan Yuzi was assigned to team No. 7. Her teammates were Xiuzhu, Yoshimura Yu and a girl with braided braids. The team was personally led by instructor Bai Tian. The only supplies each person carried were two liters of water, a flare gun, a map and a compass.
The car drove along the mountain road and into the dense forest. Twenty minutes later, a warning sign painted "No Entry" blocked the path.
Instructor Baitian signaled everyone to get off the car. He pulled back the rusty barbed wire fence. The vines fell down, the vegetation was barren, and the road had reached the end.
"We have to walk next," instructor Bai Tian clapped his hands, took out a writing clipboard and a pen from his arms, and announced: "The exam has begun."
"Eh? Is this the beginning?" The girl with braids asked: "Are there no guidelines?"
Instructor Bai Tian did not respond. He stood next to the warning sign, lowered his head and wrote something on the folder. It seemed that he was grading them.
Yoshimura Yu clapped his hands to attract the attention of the others. He said that since he was the squad leader and had more experience in organizational leadership, he would lead the search team in this mission, and the others had no objection to this.
"Actually, the mission instructions are very clear. Please take a look at the map in your hand," Yoshimura Yu glanced at instructor Shiratian and said, "The map has circled the "suspicious areas" that need to be searched, as well as the "sighting location" where the murderer last appeared. . ”
The girl with braided braids suddenly realized that two areas were marked out with red circles and green circles on the map, which must be the destination of their trip.
"The murderer most likely started moving at the same time as us, which means we need to move closer to the "witnessing location" as soon as possible. Otherwise, the search area will expand exponentially as time goes by. ”
After saying that, Yoshimura Yu glanced at the instructor again: "Do you understand everything? If there are no other questions, let's set off."
Yuan Yuzi wondered why the monitor kept glancing at the instructor? She turned around and saw instructor Bai Tian writing furiously on the folder, probably recording the squad leader's excellent performance.
I see! If you want to get high scores, you have to perform well in front of the instructor!
In the group of four, only the girl with braids had not seen the map. What Yoshimura Yu said is actually all nonsense. Minamoto Tamako secretly regretted that she would have told her teammates in advance if she had known about it. Maybe instructor Shiratama would reward her for it.
The four of them walked through the barbed wire fence, stepped on knee-high weeds, and walked into the dense forest.
The "suspicious area" that needs to be searched is not far away, only two hundred meters away. The range was not large, so the four of them turned around and quickly found the 'body' lying on the grass.
The girl with braided braids exclaimed, her face turning pale.
Yuan Yuzi took a closer look and found that the corpse was not a mannequin, but a corpse that had just died, and her expression suddenly changed.
Yoshimura Yu and Hidenori couldn't pretend to be calm. They took a step back, covered their noses, hesitated for a long time, and never dared to move forward. The corpse is a concrete death, which can arouse biological instinctive fear.
"Can it be said that a murder really happened here?" The girl with braided braids had her legs shaking like chaff and her voice changed in tone.
Just when everyone was panicking, instructor Bai Tian explained: "This is a corpse borrowed from the morgue of the county hospital. The family members have signed a donation agreement and informed consent form."
As a police officer, even the lowest patrol officer will often come into contact with corpses. Rather than letting this group of students go to a crime scene to be embarrassed after graduation, it is better to give them a shot of vaccination during the graduation exam.
Yuan Yuzi took a deep breath, and the scene of entering the auditorium emerged in her mind - the two familiar corpses leaning on the stage, as quiet as the corpses in front of her.
‘There’s nothing to be afraid of. ’ she said to herself in her mind.
At the same time, Yoshimura Yu nudged his teammate with his elbow: "Hidenori, go and investigate the scene."
Xiu Ze pointed to his nose and asked in a low voice: "Why me?"
"This is giving you a chance to perform. Don't you want to get high marks?" Yoshimura Yu came closer and whispered encouragement: "Is it possible that you want those two girls to go? You have to be more gentlemanly!"< br>
Xiu Ze was not stupid and asked: "Then why don't you show it..."
The two of them argued in low voices about who should examine the body, but Yuan Yuzi took a step forward, put on white gloves neatly, and squatted down next to the body.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Don't move!" Yoshimura Yu dissuaded: "What if you destroy the scene? Let the boys do this kind of dirty work..."
Yuan Yuzi turned a deaf ear. She entered the flow state again. She kept searching and checking with her hands, and at the same time she said very fast:
"The deceased was a male. There were two cigarette butts nearby. There were water stains on his chest. There were no obvious blood stains on his body. There were strangulation marks and bruises on his neck. It was initially presumed that he died of mechanical asphyxia. There were half a pack of cigarettes, a metal lighter and a wallet in his pocket. Fingerprints can be extracted. There are horse racing tickets and 26,000 yen in change in the wallet. The deceased is wearing a watch on his left hand, and his dominant hand is his right hand..."
Yoshimura Yu couldn't help but interrupt: "There are also people who wear watches with their dominant hand! What's the point of such blind reasoning? Don't add to the confusion, wait for us to investigate first..."
"That's true, but the deceased's shoelaces were tied with his right hand, so my reasoning is correct."
Yuan Yuzi paused and said without raising his head: "Didn't you say that we should move closer to the witness site as soon as possible? This means that we cannot waste too much time at the murder scene."
Before the others could react, Yuan Yuzi stood up, clasped her hands together, and bowed slightly to the corpse.
"Mr. Natsume, please rest in peace."
