Chapter 643 Deliberate Misleading
"boom!"
The table made a slight collision sound, and then everything on the table began to shake. The pen holder and desk lamp also shook and fell down, and the rulers, pencils and pens in the pen holder were scattered all over the table.
This, this is...
Seeing this scene, a flash of inspiration passed through Shiratori Renzaburo's mind, and he finally understood the meaning.
"Generally speaking, when we see an ink bottle fall over and ink spills out, we would naturally think that this must be because the murderer and the deceased were fighting and hit the table, causing the ink bottle to spill."
"But if the tabletop was shaking and things were knocked over, it's obviously impossible that only the ink bottle fell over. But when we came in, only the ink bottle was knocked over on this table, and the other items were intact. This is obviously inconsistent with normal physical phenomena."
"So, the reason why this ink bottle fell is very obvious."
"This is what the murderer did on purpose!"
Bai Masong made the final conclusion indifferently.
Then he asked himself another question and answered it himself:
"And why did the murderer do such a thing? Obviously, the purpose was to make the deceased President Harada leave the message he wanted before his death."
"Although the murderer doesn't know how the president will leave a message, he just needs to give President Harada enough space to do so."
After listening to Bai Basong's words, Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako both nodded.
With this unique ink bottle and the colored building blocks that should be very conspicuous, it seems very reasonable for the murderer to induce the deceased to leave a wrong message before death.
"Besides that, there is one more thing,"
Bai Masong brought up another topic, saying this, and then walked to the position in front of the corpse.
There were many splattered blood stains at that location, which looked like the splattered blood stains left after the deceased was hit by a weapon.
"When you look at this thing, do you feel anything?"
"this is......"
Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako also came over and looked at the bloodstains that Bai Masong was pointing at.
"These bloodstains always seem a little strange..."
Miwako Sato frowned and said thoughtfully.
She has not received any special training in this field, but she relies on her experience to make reasonable decisions.
Shiratori Renzaburo quickly discovered that there was something wrong with the bloodstains.
"I see. These bloodstains are not complete."
As he spoke, he pointed to the bloodstains nearby for comparison.
"The bloodstains next to it look like this after they were splashed, but these few drops of blood are different. They are obviously incomplete, which shows that..."
"It means there is something blocking it, so it is incomplete."
Bai Masong said this calmly, his expression not changing at all.
However, his expression remained unchanged, but Shiratori Renzaburo's expression was very dissatisfied.
Bai Ma Song was running around asking for information, while Sato Miwako was checking the alibi. The on-site investigation was carried out by Shiratori Renzaburo and the members of the forensic department.
There is something obviously wrong with the bloodstains here, but he had not mentioned it to Bai Masong before, and even he himself didn't know about it. Isn't this an obvious and serious dereliction of duty!
"I'm sorry, Officer Bai Ma, this is my fault. The forensic personnel on my side didn't find it. I apologize..."
"never mind,"
Bai Ma Song waved his hand.
He knew that there was no problem with Shiratori Renzaburo's work ability and attitude, but he was not a member of the Forensic Department after all. He was just leading the work here, and the real work was done by the people in the Forensic Department.
But he knew very well who the people in the forensics class were. They were all a bunch of old hands, so it was already very good that they only missed this one point.
"Have someone check everything in this company again and find out what's blocking this."
Bai Ma Song instructed Bai Niao Ren San Lang,
"According to my guess, this should be something similar to a camera, most likely used to monitor whether the deceased left any messages before death."
"Um,"
Miwako Sato and Renzaburo Shiratori nodded.
Judging from the current situation, this should be the case.
After all, the murderer also needs to be aware of the situation at all times, and just wait for the deceased to leave a message before death, and then send him off.
But......
At this moment, Miwako Sato suddenly frowned slightly.
"How did the murderer mislead the deceased and leave the wrong message? Logically speaking, they had met in this small space. Unless the murderer knew how to disguise himself, there is no way the deceased could be misled."
"I think it's because the deceased never met the murderer."
In response to Sato Miwako's question, Hakuba Matsu did not say anything, but Shiratori Renzaburo spoke first.
Although he seemed a little behind before, he immediately thought of the key point after adjusting his mindset.
"If the deceased was working in the office and was suddenly attacked from behind by the murderer and then tied up, then it is very likely that he has never seen the murderer's face at all!"
"Hmm - that makes sense."
Sato Miwako nodded in agreement, and then began to analyze the situation.
"If that's the case, then the murderer must have known Iwatomi Hajime very well, and knew some of his unique interests and hobbies and his dress style, and used these to mislead the deceased, President Harada."
"For example, Iwatomi Hajime liked to play golf, so the murderer used a golf club to kill President Harada."
"Yes."
Bai Masong also nodded slightly, very satisfied, and then told Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako the results of his inquiry just now.
"I just thought of this, so I went over there and asked those four people."
"The result was just as I expected. The four of them are a small group in this company, and they are also very familiar with the situations of the other three."
"Among them, Aiko Nao collects a lot of gloves because she likes fishing but has a weak constitution; Hasami Jun collects a lot of celebrity sunglasses because of his favorite stars; Nakagami Isao likes horse racing and also likes to collect hats with various numbers on them as lucky numbers for horse racing; Vice President Iwatomi Sou likes playing golf, so he collects a lot of expensive white golf shoes."
