Chapter 260: Hidden Matters

"A secret room... this may not be possible."

After Fu Luo made his judgment and conclusion, Lin Yu refuted him.

"Don't forget, Forpolo, this is not true reasoning, using our value system as a reference... this is 'setting system' reasoning."

The so-called "setting system" refers to mystery works in the context of stories with special settings, supernatural or surreal power settings.

The dungeon world of ‘Game of Death’ is undoubtedly filled with all kinds of supernatural phenomena.

Even though the city that never sleeps looks like a near-future society, and "Truth Company" looks like some kind of technology company...

But in essence, it is still established based on the completely counter-intuitive and supernatural power of "emotional transformation".

Even - they believe in gods!

But faced with Lin Yu's reminder, Fu Luo was calm.

"I know this clearly, Zhu Ming, so I didn't ignore this possibility, but came to a conclusion after re-judgment based on the existing 'logic' and known conditions."

"The reason why I judged this to be a 'secret room murder' type... is precisely because I have mastered the most advanced technology. After the high-level officials were suspected of murder, they still could not find a second suspect, or even be able to give a second suspect. Possible evidence."

"This is enough to show that... based on their current 'knowledge', they believe that no other person can bypass their 'detection' through more advanced technology and some kind of loophole."

Fu Luo now put on his straw hat again, held the brim of the hat and spoke.

"All secret rooms must not be real secret rooms, but are scams constructed using some kind of trick," he said calmly. "Since their own investigation department has made a judgment, then I believe that this is not some kind of more secret room." Advanced technology is at work, but it's some kind of 'trick'."

Seeing the confident Fu Luo, Lin Yu felt that he might be able to paddle: "Since you are so sure, I leave it to you, great detective."

"I'm not good at solving puzzles...especially this kind of solving cases, which is beyond my ability."

Lin Yu said, walked to Punk Duo who was waiting aside, and stood leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest.

Punk Duo frowned.

"This laboratory looks so familiar."

"Of course it looks familiar. You were the one responsible for sealing the scene and collecting evidence back then," Baron Coleman sighed. "It is precisely because you were the one who sealed the scene that I believe that no one deliberately destroyed the evidence against me during the on-site investigation phase. Favorable, evidence of the existence of others.”

At this time, Fulo had already walked to the dead Reed Christopher.

This is an old man with completely white hair. He is lying on the experimental table, with his hands spread out and his face facing down.

Blood flowed down his body and gathered at his feet.

"It looked like he was stabbed unexpectedly - only one stab wound, fatal injury, but not immediate death."

"The victim was standing at the time, probably doing something very focused... From this angle, he was probably observing the reaction of the reagent."

Fulo said, standing by the table, simulating the position and posture of Reed Christopher back then.

"Then at this moment, he heard two footsteps behind him - there was only one person in the laboratory, so Reed's first reaction was to turn around in surprise."

"But the movement of turning back was too slow, and the body was only slightly tilted - which resulted in the inconsistency of the knife edge being slightly tilted, and the end of such a sharp knife wound being 'slit'."

"But the murderer was indeed professional. This deviation did not affect the knife's precise stabbing into the right side of his back - the knife penetrated the bottom of the lung and a large vein."

"So, Reed no longer had the strength to turn around. His body lost strength, he put his hands on the stage to prevent himself from falling, and tried to raise his head - there was the airtight metal front door in front of the experimental stage..."

"Reed should know that he can't escape. As a senior executive of Truth Company, he is very smart and understands the human body very well... Therefore, when he looked at the door, he was not trying to escape, but trying to catch the reflection of the door to see the murderer clearly. face."

"But unfortunately, he may or may not have seen it. In short... Reed Christopher is no longer enough for him to leave any useful information - the rapid blood loss and lung injury have made him no longer able to leave any useful information." He didn’t have the energy to write anything in blood, so he just lay on the experimental table and died.”

Fu Luo said, and then breathed out.

"The murder has been restored. There is no special technique...it's just a sneak attack from behind. The only thing worthy of praise is that the knife was so clean that it didn't look like it was the first time to kill someone, and the dagger seemed to be used by specialized combatants. "

Fulo looked at Baron Coleman, who sighed.

"Yes, I have received similar training... Although I have never stayed in the field department, before I accepted the arrangement from my family to join the Truth Company, I once ran to join a gang in the Lower City of Evernight City during my rebellious period."

"There, I learned how to kill people...I'm pretty proficient in how to use knives and fists."

Lin Yu suddenly said: "Oh, no wonder you are suspected, this killing method also suits your style."

"That's not all." After Fulo entered the case-solving mode, his eyes became sharper than ever before. He looked at Baron Coleman, "What else? Baron?"

"You are hiding something very important."

Baron Coleman seemed very calm when Fulo said this.

"Why do you think so? I don't think I'm hiding anything important that's related to this case."

He asked Fu Luo in return.

Lin Yu listened to Fu Luo's words and instantly believed the detective.

Hearing Baron Coleman's question, Lin Yu immediately supported Fu Luo.

"You've revealed your memories directly and openly, why don't you be more honest?"

"We're here to help you investigate the truth, and concealing the truth will also make our investigation difficult."

As Lin Yu spoke, Baron Coleman remained silent.

"I really didn't hide anything."

He said again.

"I'm not an idiot, Baron," Fu Luo did not give in at all, and raised the brim of his straw hat, "Even though all the evidence pointed to you as the only suspect at the time, you just mentioned... When the company did not convict you, almost all the relatives and friends of this 'Reed Christopher' regarded you as the murderer. You must have concealed a very key point."

"Compared to objective evidence, what can make the 'insiders' make a nearly certain judgment must be something more subjective, which may not be recorded in the files..."

Hearing Fu Luo say this, Lin Yu also reacted.

"It's 'motive'!"

"They must think you are the murderer because you have 'some motive'!"
