Chapter 16 Section 3

After ten o'clock in the morning, all workshops rested at the meeting place.As usual, everyone would go back to the vending machines for drinks, but due to the tragic events of this morning, that lounge is temporarily off limits.Meanwhile, word spread throughout the company that the police had come to investigate the incident. "Lin Tian's death didn't seem to be as simple as a stroke, that's why the police were alerted." The squad leader dealt playing cards and said.The break time is also the time for playing cards. The colleagues in the workshop are all rich people, and the bets are quite high, so I usually just watch from the sidelines.

"That's what I heard. It is said that his head was injured by someone, and it seems that there is some blood." An old worker in the workshop stared at the sign and said. "Wounded? Could it be that he was attacked by robbers or something?" "It's possible." "But that room is locked from the inside." "But the window is still open, just escape from the window." "That's right. But how did the robbers get in this late at night? They probably got into trouble with someone. Kawashima-kun, what do you think?" "I don't think Mr. Hayashida is that kind of person."

I answered.Kawashima is my last name. Since everyone knew that the deceased was my former boss, all kinds of questions came in.But I don't know anything, so naturally I can't answer.I can't even believe that such a suspected murder happened around me. After the rest time, we each returned to our posts and started working again.However, only 30 minutes later, the female colleague Ye Zi came over and patted me on the shoulder, saying that the monitor let me go. "It seems that someone from the police side has come." Leaf's eyes sparkled behind safety glasses.She is the girl I was dating yesterday.Ye Zi joined the company right after graduating from high school, she is still a little childish, but she is full of energy to entangle the company's elite.Seeing me driving an off-road vehicle, I insisted on taking her for a ride.

I asked Ye Zi to help me with the class for a while, and walked towards the monitor's seat.Sure enough, two criminal police officers with unkind faces were already waiting there. The criminal police asked me about Mr. Lintian's current situation, and I introduced that he is currently busy debugging the newly introduced equipment. "Excuse me, was Mr. Lin Tian really beaten to death?" After the other party's question came to an end, I asked. "We don't know about this either. The only thing that can be determined now is the location of the scar." A detective pointed to the top of the left ear.

"If it wasn't for being beaten, it was..." "It may also be hit somewhere after an accidental fall. There are several explanations for this scar. In short, please rest assured, the task of investigation will be left to us." After the criminal police answered with a serious face, he took out a small bag of shortbread wrapped in cellophane and handed it over, asking me if I had seen it.I remembered that this was exactly the kind Mr. Hayashida bought on Saturday night, so I told the truth. "Well, yeah..." The two police officers looked puzzled. "Where did you find this?"

"In the bin in the break room. We thought it was weird, there were three shortbreads left in the bag, why did they throw it away?" This is indeed puzzling.Mr. Hayashida, who is rigorous by nature, would never throw away the food that has not been eaten in such a hasty way. "By the way, where did you go yesterday?" another detective asked.My eyes widened involuntarily. "The two are asking if I have an alibi?" The two criminal policemen smiled wryly after hearing this. "It seems that everyone is familiar with this set. The influence of TV dramas is too great. We don't have any special intentions. If you don't want to answer, we won't force you."

I didn't have any reluctance, so I introduced my situation in detail. The criminal police went back satisfied. After lunch, I came to the workshop to see the condition of the robot debugged by Mr. Hayashida.It was there that I met Miyashita-san who joined the company three years before me. "Oh, Mr. Lin Tian is really unfortunate!" The senior said sadly when he saw me.He played tennis for fun and had a chocolate tan. "Yes, I really didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen, and I was also taken aback. When did Miyashita-san come here?" "I just came here, and the section chief told me to take over the job as soon as I got here."

"Huh? The head of the class has also come?" "Yes, he said on the phone that he came alone this morning to check on the situation." "That's it." The section chief always just assigns tasks to his subordinates, but this time he went to the workshop to arrange the work in person, which shows that he is quite flustered. "Mr. Hayashida came here yesterday, too." "It seems to be. The robot will be officially put into the production line soon, and he only cares about the problems of the welding machine." "Yesterday was Sunday, no one went to work, not even any witnesses."

"That's not true. There was a guard in the security department who was on duty last night. He said that he saw Mr. Lintian walking towards the lounge at eleven o'clock at night." "He's been working until that time again." "However, he still clocked in at ten o'clock according to the rules, and after that, he did nothing for the company." "At that time, only Mr. Lintian was there?" "No, it is said that he was working with a welding machine manufacturer. But when the security guard saw him, Mr. Lin Tian seemed to be alone. The security guard greeted him, but Mr. Lin Tian walked away without responding. He The man has always been amiable and has never been so rude."

"I really can't hide anything from you, Senior Miyashita." I looked at the senior's tanned face with admiration. "I only found out after chatting with the security guard a few times. He was regarded as a criminal suspect by the police, but he was very angry." "So that means the incident happened after eleven o'clock?" "That's right. The key to the problem is who beat him like this." "But didn't the police say there might be other explanations for the scars on his head?" "That's true, but no matter how you look at it, the scar seems to be caused by man. It's that time, and I don't know who will stay in the company and do such outrageous things."

"That's right, in the middle of the night, even the machines stopped working." what…… Both of us were shocked at the same time, and we looked at the robot beside us in unison.Its long steel mechanical arm has been adjusted by Mr. Hayashida, and it is as flexible as a human arm.
