Chapter 44 The disappearing bullet
Yoshimura Yu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the other instructors. If there is trouble, the leader must be arrested. The instructor stuffed his mouth with a rag and dragged him into the cave.
The situation finally calmed down. Masahiro Shiratada shouted and signaled everyone to go back to the cave first.
He slowed down his tone, comforted the students, and claimed, 'You are all students who make me proud', 'We are all men of the establishment', and 'You must work hard after graduation'... Hearing this, the students burst into tears, and the scene became tense. Extremely sensational.
"The fog will dissipate soon. Let's rest for ten minutes and prepare to continue setting off." Masahiro Shirata looked pale and squeezed out a smile: "This is the last journey. Let me see your true nature!"
"Yes!" the students said in unison.
Masahiro Shiratada nodded happily, saying that everyone learned their shame and acted bravely, and all of them passed the test. They were hit with a wave of chicken blood, moved to tears, and felt their blood boiling all over their bodies, and their state was extremely hot.
Only Yu Yoshimura was crying silently. He was being held up by the instructor like a dead dog. It seemed that he didn't even intend to leave on his own.
The instigator, Fushimi-san, didn't care. He followed Minamoto Tamako into the cave and found the skeleton.
Only then did everyone remember that Fushimi Shika and Minamoto Tamako returned to the snowy mountains just to investigate the skeleton. While they were still worrying about going down the mountain, Yuan Yuzi had already returned to the mountain to investigate the case despite being sick... This was not a gap in ability, but a level of awareness.
‘It’s a complete defeat...’
This idea came to everyone's mind at the same time.
Before the two of them got close, Meiyu quickly warned: "Be careful! That, that skeleton can move..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the skeleton's head turned again and was aimed at Fushimi Deer. The latter took his time, glanced at Minamoto Tamako, and said: "Come on, it's time for you to appear, a world-class reasoning expert, a future famous police detective..."
"Okay!" Yuan Yuzi blushed and quickly reached out to cover his mouth: "Don't say it in front of so many people!"
"What does it matter? After graduation, we will all stay away from each other anyway, so why not show off your skills now..." Fushimi Shikama said and yawned. He didn't sleep all night last night and had been taking care of Yuan Yuzi. He was very sleepy now and urged: "Hurry up, it's freezing. I want to go back early to catch up on my sleep."
Yuan Yuzi nodded, approached the skeleton, put on white gloves neatly, and began to examine it carefully.
Several students watched curiously, poking their heads from a distance of four to five meters. They all wanted to know why the skeleton's skull moved, but they were too embarrassed to ask, so they had to push Xiunori out to be Baga.
"What about that, Tamako-san, do you see any clues?" Hideze asked.
"There are two doubts."
Pointing to a gap in the skull, Yuan Yuzi said: "First, it is the hole in the skull. It should be a gunshot wound. I noticed it when I first found this skeleton, so I suspected that the deceased died from Kill him.”
"Although I didn't have time to investigate carefully because I was searching the mountain, I clearly remember that there was a rusty bullet embedded in the other side of the skull. The bullet probably penetrated the left side of the skull, penetrated the brain, and got stuck on the right side of the skull. …”
As she spoke, Minamoto Tamako twisted her skull and turned it sideways towards Fushimi Deer: "The strange thing is that the warhead is missing now."
"Eh?" Xiu Ze was stunned.
Does he think this is the point? Shouldn't the point be why the skeleton moves? How dare Tamako-san twist her skull like nothing happened?
Before others could react, Yuan Yuzi continued: "The second suspicion is the deceased's jacket pocket."
The skeleton was wrapped in a tattered jacket, and the underlying undershirt was torn into silk. Minamoto Tamako carefully turned the pockets of her jacket outside, but there was nothing inside. "Is there anything suspicious about this?" Xiu Ze was confused.
"It's too clean, there's no dust." Yuan Yuzi turned the other bag inside out, and it was full of dust and gravel. "It means there was something inside, probably a square hard object, which just filled the entire bag. It was taken away recently... It is very likely that it is the same person who took away the bullet."
While she was explaining, more and more students gathered to watch the fun.
"Ah, I see," Xiu Ze scratched the tip of his nose: "Actually, everyone wants to know why the skull can move..."
"Because there is a snake inside, didn't you see it?"
The expression on Minamoto Tamako's face seemed to say, 'Why do you ask such a question?' She 'pulled' the skull from the cervical spine and turned the angle to show it to Hidenori.
I saw a small snake curled up inside the skull. It had just wrapped its belly around the cervical vertebrae. It was probably looking for a place to hibernate. After being alarmed by the students, it twisted uneasily, causing the skull to rotate. In the dim light, it looked like a skull moving.
So that's it...
Everyone suddenly realized it and had no intention of continuing to explore. Instructor Bai Tian clapped his hands, indicating that the rest time was over and everyone set off.
Fushimi Lu glanced at his watch and felt that it was already getting late and it was indeed time to go back.
Suddenly, Yuan Yuzi turned around and asked: "Who was the first person to discover the skeleton?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Kuroki Miu didn't know why, and raised her hand weakly: "It's me..."
"Did you see any footprints when you arrived at the cave?" Yuan Yuzi asked again.
"No," Meiyu turned around and saw that everyone else was packing their things and getting ready to leave, so she said, "Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, we are about to set off..."
"Wait!"
Yuan Yuzi waved her little hand, pointed at everyone, and put on the classic "The murderer is among us" POSS, and said: "Someone among you has stolen the key evidence! If you want to leave, please hand over the stolen evidence first. ”
Everyone was startled, and their first reaction was bafflement. Who would take the things from the skeleton?
"It started to snow after searching the mountain last night. If outsiders entered the cave at night, they would definitely leave footprints on the snow. Since there are no footprints, it means that the bullet disappeared after you entered."
< br>
When it comes to murder cases, Yuan Yuzi has a principle that cannot be compromised. Her face tightened and she said seriously: "Please cooperate with the investigation. It only takes a few minutes to tell me who has been close to this skeleton..."
"Sorry, I don't have time to play detective with you here," Masahiro Shirada interrupted: "I have to be responsible for my students, and I'm leaving now."
"Didn't we agree to rest for ten minutes?" Fushimi Shika tapped the cover of the watch with his finger: "It's only seven minutes, it doesn't matter if you delay it for another three minutes, right? Besides, the fog outside has not completely dissipated. Instructor Do you have something urgent to leave first?”
Under the slightly confused gazes of others, Shiratama Masahiro was silent for a moment, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a breath of white mist.
"Then wait three more minutes."
