The young man was dressed in black. Higashino was sure that he was a character who did not appear in the original plot. In addition, this theatrical version had an organizational role, so he naturally judged the young man to be a member of the organization.

but.

Dongye Ning searched through his memory but couldn't figure out who this man was.

"Is it Belmod?"

"But my height doesn't match my height, and I'm wearing short sleeves. How can wrapping my chest have such an effect?"

Dongye Ning murmured in his heart for a while, feeling that the possibility of the other party being Belmode was not high.

It’s bad, a character outside the plot appears.

This speculation is a bit unexpected, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

After all, Haibara Ai's character is different from the original one, and there is no reason for such a huge organization to only have a few people in the Gin Operation Team.

But that's okay.

Although the appearance of a strange character surprised a screenwriter like Higashino Ning, it was far from making him at a loss as to how to deal with it.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, they are still human. As long as they are human, they will be restrained.

Well, what a coincidence, I, Higashi Yening, am a loser.

His main mentality now is one of optimism. He despises the enemy strategically and tactically.

"Higashino-kun, did you find anything?"

Seeing that Higashino Ning was in a daze for too long, Miwako Sato couldn't help but ask.

Higashino shook his head as his thoughts returned to reality, "I did think of some things, but they are not very relevant to the case."

He smiled softly and said: "Let's go after eating. I want to go and see the scene in person, starting from Yuan Jiaming's house."

After leaving the restaurant, Miwako Sato drove and Takagi Wataru arrived. The car was so fast that it looked like it was going to catch a prisoner who had just escaped from prison.

Miwako Sato is a very impatient person, and her impatience is amplified when driving.

"This is it."

After getting out of the car, Takagi Wataru handed Higashino a pair of gloves and glanced at the building.

He continued: "We have done many rounds of evidence collection investigations, and indeed nothing valuable has been found."

But Dongye Ning shook his head repeatedly, "To be honest, I don't trust our forensics department staff."

"Huh?" Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru were both confused.

"What I mean is that I don't trust their ability to work, not that there is a mole among them." Higashino Ning raised his hand to indicate that he should go upstairs first, "I have handled cases in many places now, and the performance of the forensics department staff is... Nothing good to say.”

"Sometimes there are clues that are very easy to find, but I have to remind them personally to realize them."

"so......"

Dongye Ning clenched his fist hard.

"I'd better investigate it myself, otherwise I won't be at ease."

Ah this...

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako looked at each other, feeling that Higashino Ning was a bit too... arrogant?

But after they recalled and associated it, they felt that Higashino Ning might have been right.

After all, Dongye Ning did find many key clues when investigating the case before, but these clues were not found in the forensics class or were not paid attention to when they were found.

Then go up and have a look.

The three of them were speechless and went upstairs in tacit agreement.

Because he often came here to investigate, the key to Jiaming's apartment had been confiscated by the police, so there was no need to ask the building manager to come and open the door.

"The fire was put out in time." Dongye Ning looked at the intact door, "Did they only burn the body?"

Takagi Sheba nodded, "That's right, but if we hadn't discovered it in time, the whole room would have been burned down."

With a click, the door lock turned, and Dongye Ning also pushed the door open.

"In this case, it means that the murderer did not want to burn down the entire house in the first place."

After entering the door, Dongye Ning saw the burn marks on the ground. It could be seen that Yuan Jiaming was not in any pain at that time, and he should have been burned after death.

"The autopsy report stated that only stab wounds were found on the neck."

Higashino Ning approached the scorch marks and squatted down to observe, "There are no signs of fighting in the house, and there are no footprints or anything like that."

"Yes." Takagi Wataru continued to add, "The murderer should have thoroughly cleaned up the traces left by himself after committing the crime. His technique was very professional."

"So we currently prefer that the deceased had transactions or interactions with certain underground forces, but so far no relevant evidence has been found."

Yuan Jiaming does have connections with the black organization and is considered a peripheral member.

Gin's mission is to never allow any possibility of revealing the existence of the organization to arise, so it is normal that the police cannot find it.

"But this isn't right either."

Dongye Ning searched carefully for himself, but he couldn't find anything like a death message.

In the original plot, Yuan Jiaming left a message pointing to Gin.

"Isn't it Gin's fault here?"

Dongye Ning's mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Based on the time information, it is possible to rule out the possibility of a single person committing crimes at the same time.

He originally thought it was a script about a mysterious young man blowing up a building and killing people with gin and vodka, but it turned out...well, it didn't seem to be the case.

"Two new and never-before-appeared characters...?"

Higashino Ning silently gave the mark. The mysterious young man likes to use bombs, and the mysterious man likes to use cold weapons.

To be honest, cold weapons are very rare in the organization, and everyone basically uses guns.

Dong Ye Ning rubbed his black stuff vigorously, feeling that this thing might be useful.

"Dong Ye, I wanted to ask you just now, what is this thing you have?" Gao Mushi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is a little gadget given by the doctor, a decompression toy." Dong Ye Ning explained casually and looked behind him, "Officer Sato, it wasn't too late at that time, why is there no eyewitness record?"

There is at least a suspect on the side where the building was bombed, but there is no suspect here.

Hearing his question, Sato Miwako was a little unsure about how to answer, and hesitated: "Maybe because... no one saw it?"

Higashino Ning: "..."

He sighed and shook his head, "No, what I mean is, since there are abundant conditions for witnessing, does the fact that the murderer was not 'seen' by anyone mean that the other party is an acquaintance rather than a stranger to the people nearby?"

This made Gao Zuo and the others stunned at the same time, "It is indeed very likely."

In addition to immediately recording it in the police manual, Takagi Shige also tried to recall: "If the murderer is limited to the people nearby, then the more suspicious ones are..."

"Uh... It seems that there are no suspicious people." Takagi Shige scratched his head, "I feel that these people are quite normal. The key is that before the fire was discovered, the people around basically stayed at home. The three people who just returned home only noticed the fire and did not see anyone moving around."
