Bandage fine tricks

"The deceased's name is Imagawa Yuki, a professor in the biological laboratory, responsible for research topics in life science and technology, and recently published a very influential paper in a world-renowned scientific journal..." Huang Quanchuan Aiho Handed a folder together with disposable medical rubber gloves to Miss Xiao Ba, who was dispatched by the director general to assist in the investigation of the case, "The first person who discovered it was a graduate student under him - returning to school after the winter vacation, preparing to I continued to check in at the laboratory, and when I arrived at the entrance of the laboratory, I found that the door was still locked. I felt strange, so I called the guard to come over and use the spare key to open the door."

When the two opened the door, they found that the air was filled with a strange smell, and there were even mice running around under their feet—they were small white mice commonly used in biological experiments. Graduate students found that the small white mice running under his feet had Reddish-brown, but the experimental mice were all white. They walked deep into the laboratory, and next to Professor Imagawa's desk, they saw the dead who had been eaten by the mice until their bones were exposed.

Usually laboratory mice are fed by specialized graduate students. During the holidays, this work is in charge of by Youki Imagawa himself—as a well-known research fanatic in the biological laboratory, this is not the first time that Tomoki Imagawa has not left school to continue during the holidays. Daily experiments.

The experimental mouse cage next to it was opened, and the mice that had been locked in it were released. The mice who were so hungry and had no one to feed them ate half of their corpses. Judging from the scene, the mouse cage should have been hit by someone. After turning over, the cage door was disengaged, causing the mice that were originally locked inside to escape.

On-site inspectors collected a bit of clothing fibers on the door of a certain rat cage, and compared it with the clothes of the deceased and confirmed that they did not belong to Tomomi Imagawa. It was initially suspected that they were left by the murderer, but it was only preliminary.

——After all, it is also possible that a student who is usually doing experiments in the laboratory accidentally got his clothes hooked by the rat cage.

"Other people don't have a key?" Xiaoba asked while putting on disposable medical rubber gloves, opened the folder and looked through the case description inside.

"Under normal circumstances, Professor Imagawa will come to the laboratory very early every day to go to work—and even eat and live in the laboratory, so it is completely impossible for these graduate students to come and open the door. Therefore, only Professor Imagawa and his assistant and concurrently have the keys to the laboratory. Ms. Iwase Misa has it.” Saigo Ryota—a member of the security guards like Koizumikawa Aiho—explained, “The spare key is at the guard’s side. We have checked the guard’s surveillance, and there is no one there. Move those spare keys."

"There is no problem with the surveillance at the guard, that is to say, is there a problem with the surveillance at the laboratory?" Sensitively aware of something from Ryota Saigo's words, Xiao Ba looked at the document in his hand and said without raising his head.

Ryota Saigo nodded, and said: "The last time I saw Professor Imagawa in the school was the guard. He saw Professor Imagawa enter the laboratory a week and a half ago, because Professor Imagawa often stays in the laboratory for ten days and a half months. Come out, so the doorman is not at all surprised that he is not seen behind."

Most research fanatics will arrange a small room next to the laboratory to ensure normal eating and drinking. Apparently, there is such a living room next to Professor Imagawa's laboratory.

"The problem is that after Professor Imagawa entered, the surveillance at the laboratory did not capture anyone entering." Saigo Ryota said, "We suspect that the surveillance has been hacked, and we are asking students who are good at this to restore it. "

College City is a huge collection of educational institutions consisting of 23 school districts, so the number of students here far exceeds the number of teachers, and due to the existence of superpowers and the brain development courses these students receive, many places, such as similar In terms of hacking skills, perhaps the teacher is not as good as these students.

"It says that when the body was discovered, there were several dead mice scattered around it..." Xiao Ba pointed out a line on the report and asked, "Have you found the cause of death for these mice?"

Huang Quanchuan Aiho glanced at the report, thought for a while, and said: "The autopsy report shows that the fatal injury of the deceased was a massive hemorrhage caused by the rupture of the open aorta of the heart on the chest. Judging from the shape of the wound, it should be caused by a sharp weapon—our After confirming this point, I didn't investigate the deaths of those mice, probably, they were strangled to death, or did biological experiments?" Huang Quanchuan Aiho guessed casually.

It is easy to judge whether the wound appeared before death or after death, as long as the biological reaction of the wound is identified, so Huang Quanchuan Aiho can say with certainty that Professor Imagawa is not the mice raised by him Killed.

Seeing that the documents in Xiao Ba's hand happened to turn to the photos taken when the deceased's body was discovered, she showed an unbearable expression: "He should probably be glad that he didn't suffer too much crime before his death."

If it is eaten to death by those mice bit by bit, it is probably the most terrible way to die.

"Please inform the forensic doctor to examine those mice and investigate their cause of death—by the way, please also examine the living mice. Then, let's go meet these suspects." Xiaoba said from the folder He took out a few files and showed them to Ryota Caixiang, and said, "Please contact me."

The three files that Hachi took out belonged to Misa Iwase, Hideo Onodera and Yuichi Yoshioka.

Misa Iwase, female, 20 years old, Professor Imagawa's right-hand assistant and student - in the heavyweight paper published by Professor Imagawa not long ago, Misa Iwase was the "second author".

Hide Onodera, male, 21 years old, assistant and student of Professor Imagawa.

Yuichi Yoshioka, male, 49 years old, is a good friend of Professor Imagawa. Like Professor Imagawa, he is a professor of biology and medicine.

"Is there anything special about these three people?" Huang Quanchuan Aiho asked.

"The entry and exit report from the academy city shows that Misa Iwase had finished her vacation two weeks ago and returned to the academy city, but she didn't go to the laboratory to report - two weeks, not once, I am very sorry I am curious about what she has been doing these two weeks. There are also rumors that she has an improper relationship with Professor Imagawa." Hachi handed Misa Iwase's information to Aiho Huang Quanchuan, and then pulled out Hideo Onodera's file, "And then Hideo Onodera, he is also a member of Academy City who ended his vacation early. Unlike Misa Iwase, he had already submitted his resignation to Professor Imagawa before the vacation, so he returned early but did not go to The reason for the lab report is that he was looking for other labs to join during this time."

Hide Onodera's information was a bit messy, so Xiao Ba straightened it up and said, "It's a little strange that Professor Imagawa's experimental project has just had a major breakthrough, and he even published a quite important paper. At this time, his subordinates However, his assistant and student began to look for a way out. According to the rumors of contacting Misa Iwase, and from the list of applicants for the laboratory equipment, Professor Imagawa’s main assistant in the laboratory should be Hideo Onodera before his paper was published. Not Misa Iwase, but I didn't find Hideo Onodera's name on Professor Imagawa's paper—don't you think that looks interesting?"

Some experimental projects require specific instruments to cooperate with the inspection, but such instruments are not always available, so you need to submit relevant applications, and only after approval can you use it to verify your own projects within the scheduled time content.

The same is true for the research topic of Professor Imagawa. His experiment requires the use of several special instruments and equipment. These expensive and rare equipment cannot be purchased by Professor Imagawa's laboratory. Therefore, like other professors, , When it comes to the need to use these experimental instruments to analyze the reports, Professor Imagawa chose to submit an application report to the academy city to make an appointment for the use of the instruments.

However, as a professor, his daily free time is not enough to support him to prepare the materials required for applying for the instrument himself, so these contents are generally handed over to his assistants to sort out and submit the application. In most cases, the professor only does Confirm the final content and sign your own name, indicating that this application is approved by him.

In order to prevent all kinds of accidents and the person in charge could not be found, the assistant naturally had to sign his name. Xiaoba saw the names of the applicant Professor Imagawa and the material preparer Hideo Onodera on the instrument reservation list.

Huang Quanchuan Aiho took the appointment application list that Xiao Ba handed her. Although she is only a physical education teacher in a high school in the academy city, she has been fascinated by it and naturally knows the names of the people who will appear on this list under such circumstances: " …Normally, applicants for such materials should be the main assistants for laboratory projects.”

"So it's very interesting. There is no Misa Iwase's name on it, but her name is on the paper, but Hideo Onodera's name can't be found." Xiaoba said and pulled out the last file, "Yoshioka Yuichi, Professor Imagawa's friend, judging from their two research directions, they should be competitors—their research directions overlap too much."

However, Professor Imagawa has even published his thesis and has been recognized by the academic circles, but Yoshioka Yuichi seems to have not produced any results, and the academic status of the two has continued to increase. In this case, Yoshioka Yuichi Can you really maintain a normal mind and continue to face this friend of yours?

"In particular, according to the researchers and assistants under Professor Imagawa, Professor Imagawa often communicates with Yoshioka Yuichi to study the above issues-Professor Imagawa's email confirms this." Xiaoba said.

Ryota Saigo took over the file that Xiaoba handed him: "...Do you suspect that Professor Imagawa stole Yoshioka Yuichi's research results? Or, Professor Imagawa's thesis results were inspired by Yoshioka Yuichi?"

Even in the room, the girl with different pupils who did not take off her hood tilted her head as if thinking about it, and said after a while: "It's not easy to judge for now, anyway, talk to these three people first, and then talk about other things."

Unlike the outside world, the police and security forces of Academy City are guards. They are independent of the Japanese Government Self-Defense Forces and Metropolitan Police Department, and directly belong to Academy City.

As the only two forces maintaining social stability in the academy city on the surface—by the way, the other is a disciplinary committee composed of students—the security guards have a very wide range of duties, covering security patrols, disaster handling, and case investigation. , Suppression of riots and a series of tasks, case inquiries are naturally not a problem.

Xiao Ba did not enter the interrogation room to participate in the interrogation. She chose to stand in the next room of the interrogation room and observe the facial expressions, movements and answers of the interrogated person through the one-way glass window.

When the interrogation of the three of them was over, Aiho Koizumikawa and Ryota Saigo walked out of the interrogation room. Before the three of them could communicate, Aiho Koizumi's cell phone rang.

It was a call from the forensic doctor. He brought two pieces of news. First, he had not found out the cause of death of the mouse: there were no obvious wounds outside the body, no lesions inside the body, and no deadly toxins were detected in the blood, tissues and organs. It has also been confirmed with the laboratory that it is not used for special experimental mice that may have a high probability of death, such as immunodeficiency.

Second, the dead body of Professor Imagawa, together with the mice that were still alive and had to be treated specially after eating the dead body of Professor Imagawa, were all missing from the animals.

was stolen.

"What did you say?!" Huang Quanchuan Aiho couldn't believe her ears.

Judging from the information of the forensic doctor, they even took away the section samples of Professor Imagawa's body for testing - the plural number is used because Professor Imagawa's body was in the forensic anatomy room, but the living mice were placed in the animal On the other side of the research institute, both sides were stolen together, and it is certain that at least two people acted.

But it’s not good when it comes to the specific number of people: all surveillance systems have been hacked.

Xiao Ba looked very calm, and didn't seem to be surprised: "He took away all the evidence that we can investigate the cause of Professor Imagawa's death...it seems that Professor Imagawa's death was not as simple as aortic hemorrhage."

"Do you have any guesses?" Ryota Saigo couldn't help asking.

"It seems that Professor Imagawa doesn't have any enemies as his students said, because judging from the current situation, at least two people want his life." Xiao Ba stretched out two fingers, "The one who drugged Professor Imagawa People, that is, the murderer who caused the mice to die after eating Professor Imagawa's body;" She withdrew one, "the person who gave Professor Imagawa a slash in the chest, causing his aorta to bleed to death."

Retracting the second finger, Xiao Ba sighed and said: "What we are looking for are two murderers who don't know each other's killing intent."
