The first thing Yu Chuan picked up was a stack of books that had been burned to black charcoal.Xun had already expected this point, and he couldn't help feeling hot at the moment. "What a sin..." Tang Chuan murmured, "These papers are all precious materials that are hard to get." At his feet, a pair of papers were either charred or soaked in water. "Before, the entire wall here was a built-in bookcase. Because the damage here was the most serious, it is estimated that the source of the fire is here, and the fireworks seem to be placed next to this bookcase."

The person who spoke was a young member of the forensic department surnamed Dao Dao. He was dispatched by Mamiya and came here to explain the situation to Tang Chuan. Tang Chuan stood in the center of the room, stared at the burnt bookshelf for a while, then turned and walked to the window.Outside the window, the pond is sparkling. "Have you sampled the fingerprints on these glasses?" he asked, looking down at the shards of glass at his feet. "It has been collected," Da Dao replied, "but no valuable clues were found, only a few fingerprints left by the victim."

Yu Chuan nodded, bent down and picked up something, of course, he was wearing gloves. "Like a handset." Xun interrupted. "Well, where is the main machine?" Tang Chuan said and looked around. "Here." Dao said, pointing to the side of the sofa wreckage, "The charger for the handset is also here." Tang Chuan walked over with the handset, put the handset on the charger, and looked towards the window. "Why did the handset fall so far? Normally it should be placed on the charger." "Perhaps the victim was using the handset at the time." Xun said.

"It might be safer to think that way." "I'll ask NTT right now. If the victim was on the phone with someone, the other party might know something." Xun wrote this down in the handbook. Tang Chuan looked around the charred room again. "Do you have a floor plan for this room?" he asked Avenue. "Here." Saying that, Da Dao pulled out a piece of A4 paper from the folder in his hand. After staring at the floor plan for a while, Tang Chuan walked to the window again. "Can I take these pieces of glass back with me?" "What? Those glasses?" Da Dao asked back.

"Yes, I want to study how the glass shatters." "Ah..." Dao showed a puzzled expression, took out his mobile phone and said, "Understood. Please wait a moment, I will ask my superiors for instructions first." "What's wrong with these glasses?" Kaoru asked Yukawa. But he didn't answer her, but stared out the window blankly. "What's that?" He asked out of nowhere. Xun followed his gaze and looked out, only to see something floating in the pond. "It looks like a kayak. I remembered that the old neighbor lady told me last time that the victim had put a strange boat in the pond to play with. It was probably what she was talking about. "

"Kayaking..." Yu Chuan murmured. Da Dao walked up to Tang Chuan and said, "The boss has approved it. The boss instructed us to collect these fragments and send them to your laboratory within today. Teacher, if you cut your finger in this place, you can It's troublesome." "Okay, then I'll take care of you." After Tang Chuan nodded to Da Dao, he turned to look at Xun and said, "Can I trouble you to call Miss Namie?" "Call her here?" "Yes, I have something to ask her." "OK." When Kaoru came to the main house, Namie seemed to be preparing lunch, wearing an apron.After hearing Xun's retelling of Tang Chuan's words, she took off her apron in a little surprise.

Kaoru brought Namie to the scene.Tang Chuan greeted her in a hurry, and immediately explained his intention: "I heard that you and the teacher came to this room to see Mr. Banghong during the day of the incident? Could you please tell me more about it?" Was it the situation at that time?" "Is there anything wrong with the situation?" Yukawa smiled at Namie, who looked anxious, and said, "For scholars, sometimes the scene of the fire is also an extremely valuable research material. Please don't mind, please tell me about the situation at that time." I don't know if she can really accept such an explanation, but seeing Namie say "that's it", she began to recall it intermittently, Xun quickly recorded it.

It is said that Youyong came to take the ship in a bottle at that time, and asked Banghong to move away as soon as possible.Of course, Banghong refused to agree, and the atmosphere became tense as usual, and finally they broke up. Tang Chuan even asked where the people were when the quarrel was the most intense, and where the ships in bottles were originally placed, and who went to get them. "Did you mention that thing at the time?" Tang Chuan pointed out the window, "That kayak?" "Ah, I did mention it." According to Namie, at that time, Tomohiro told Kunihiro that the people from the town council had come to complain and told him to put it away quickly, but Banghiro had no intention of doing so.

"Is there something wrong with that kayak?" "It's nothing, I just think it's a little rare. My question is over. By the way, how is the teacher? I want to go to greet him." "Then I'll go ask." After watching Namie walk towards the main house, Yukawa came to the road and asked him: "Have you investigated the composition of gunpowder?" "Hey?" "I heard that there are fireworks residues left, so I want to ask if you have investigated the remaining gunpowder components." "Ah... that's not all. What's wrong with the gunpowder?"

Yu Chuan frowned, looking like he was thinking, but he finally shook his head. "It's nothing, just ask casually." After saying that, he took off his gloves. Namie came back, and she said, "Dad said please come over." "Really, then I'm not polite." Tang Chuan handed the gloves to Xun, and walked towards the main house. Xun walked to Da Dao and said, "I have a request." "I know." Dao smiled slightly, "You want us to investigate the composition of the gunpowder, right? You don't need to tell me, I also have that intention."

"thanks." "But I always feel that Mr. Yuchuan is a bit weird. Why can't he clearly say that he wants us to investigate the ingredients?" "Who knows." Xun said, looking in the direction of the main house.
