Gamiya sat with his arms folded and his mouth flattened. His cheeks began to grow fat. When he flattened his mouth, he looked like a bulldog. "You said you found an empty cup noodle bowl?" "yes." Kusanagi stood in front of Mamiya, hands behind his back, looking down at his superior. "Didn't you go to Konno to find out his alibi?" "Not exactly. What I want to investigate is whether his statement is true. Konno stayed in the office to work overtime that night. He said that he ate a bowl of cup noodles at around eight o'clock in the evening. Now we have found the cup noodles that were served at that time. Konno's fingerprints were on it. The trash in the trash can was collected at 8:30 on the night of the crime, because the trash can was placed in the corridor. Therefore, the person in charge of garbage collection did not realize that Konno was still there. Because the case happened at 8 o'clock that night, and the scene was at least an hour away from Konno's work place, so assuming that Konno was the murderer, then he There's no way to throw that ramen container in the trash."

"Then is there any possibility of throwing it in earlier?" "It's impossible. That day, before he returned to the company at seven o'clock in the evening, he was running business outside." Kusanagi said lightly. "In other words, Konno also has an alibi." "yes." "You won't run to dig through the trash, will you?" "is it not OK?" "No, thank you for your hard work. Good job." After Mamiya said blankly, he stretched out his hands and scratched his head, "This is great, there is no more suspect left. Damn, I still think that The guy is the most suspicious!"

Kusanagi turned around and walked to Xun's side. "Konno Sousuke's suspicion has also been cleared, isn't it?" "Of course. I decided from the beginning that he was not the murderer, and that guy couldn't have committed the murder." "Is it the detective's intuition?" "No. Do you know Konno's sports achievements when he was a student? Breaking the glass to break into the house, and then quickly stabbing the opponent to death with a Japanese sword, this set of actions is simply impossible for him." "Hey, the theory is still one set. Is it influenced by Mr. Yuchuan?"

"You dare to laugh at me?" While Kusanagi was staring at Kaoru, a man walked into the meeting room.It is the avenue of the forensics department.He walked to Jiangong and showed Jiangong a document.Gamiya looked at the document carefully, then turned his attention to Xun and the others. "Come here." The two walked to their seats, and Jian Gong handed over the document for them to look at.That was the result report of the gunpowder composition collected from the scene that they commissioned the forensic department to analyze two days ago. "Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine... what is this?" Kusanagi asked.

"A type of explosive that is sometimes used to make plastic bombs. Although the amount is small, it is very likely that it was used at the scene." Avenue replied. "Is it possible to use it to make fireworks?" Hearing Kaoru's question, Dao immediately shook his head and denied: "The gunpowder used to make the fireworks is black powder, and of course this gunpowder was also found at the scene." "That is to say, the fire caused by the murderer using explosives?" Mamiya asked. "It's not clear, it may be the victim's own things."

"Now that such a result has been found out, what has changed in the forensic department's opinion? Personally, I feel that the problem has been shifted to explosives." "It's hard to say at the moment, after all, the result has just come out." "Can I borrow this thing?" Kusanagi picked up the document, turned to look at Kaoru and said, "Take this report and go to Yukawa." "I think this method is good." Dao also said, "The teacher must have noticed something. Instead of us discussing it here, it's better to ask him directly."

Mamiya didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, indicating permission. "Then I'm leaving." Kaoru said and took the file. Judging from the whereabouts board outside the thirteenth research room of the physics department of Teito University, Yu Chuan had gone out and never returned.I asked the students in the room and was told that it should be in the eighth laboratory.Kaoru immediately turned around and walked to the door five rooms away. Yu Chuan stayed in the house alone, with open materials piled up in front of him.Seeing Kaoru, he quickly closed the file. "Please at least say hello before you come over."

"I called you on the phone, but you never answered." "Ah..." Tang Chuan bit his lip, "I forgot my phone in the room over there." "What's the use of this room? Are you coming to other labs?" Kaoru turned his eyes to the book he had just closed, and saw "Analysis of Fluid Properties of Metals in Explosive Forming" written on it.She couldn't understand it, but the word "explosion" caught her attention. "I sometimes come to other rooms to do business." Tang Chuan picked up the materials, "If you need to ask me, go out first and wait outside."

"OK." Kaoru waited in the corridor for a while, and Yu Chuan came out soon.He didn't bring out the document just now. "Is there any progress?" Tang Chuan asked while walking. "Mr. Konno's suspicion has been cleared, and Kusanagi-senpai found his alibi." "Really, as expected of a talented criminal policeman, he does have some skills." "The other thing is this." Kaoru stopped and took out the document from the bag, "Senior Kusanagi told me to show it to you." Tang Chuan took the document and quickly glanced at it, his eyes dimmed immediately.

"Have you investigated the ingredients?" "is it not OK?" "No," he shook his head and returned the file to Kaoru. "About this, what does the forensics department say?" "No formal conclusion has been drawn yet." "yes?" Yu Chuan walked to the window and looked out the window.Judging from his side face, he seems to be in deep thought, but also seems to be troubled by something. Just when Kaoru was about to call him "teacher", he turned to look at her and asked, "Did you come here by car?" "yes."

"Then I have something to ask, please accompany me to Youyong Mansion." "Are you going to Mr. Tomonaga? No problem. May I ask you what's the matter?" "" Well...you'll understand when you get there.Just go there and see the words of Tomoyong-sensei. Tang Chuan's eyes were filled with a kind of sadness that Kaoru had never seen before, but she still held back and did not continue to ask. "Okay. I'll go and drive the car to the gate." "Thank you. I'll be right there." Tang Chuan, who was wearing a white coat, had already walked towards his research room while speaking.
