Chapter 231 - Forensic Evidence
Because the top addition could only be done in the dead of night, it took four days to enhance the exterior of the building (one day to get the bottom, one day to get the shell out, one day to get the safe room, and the last day to get the doors, windows and details) to complete β and the time required was also very remarkable.
Although the entire Orange Mansion does not seem to have changed in appearance, it is actually more than half of the horizontal area of the original Orange Mansion, and the expanded area is mainly used to build a large safe room here for secret survival. The large safe room is connected to the bedrooms of Chiba and Gray Yuan through a secret passage with concrete mechanisms, while the large safe room is stocked with a large number of necessary materials and necessary facilities such as weapons, ammunition, food, and drinking water. If the Order's search were to come here, they would be able to hide in the safe zone and wait for the Order's people to flee after the search was fruitless.
The remaining part of the expansion area is used to evenly install high-strength armor on the exterior of the house and focus on reinforcing the doors and windows, although the appearance is still the color of the original wall, but under the wallpaper is a double layer of armor composed of wall tiles and high-strength fire-resistant composite materials, so that it can effectively resist bombs and other bandits who break through by destroying the wall. As for the doors and windows, high-strength bulletproof glass and bulletproof doors are installed on the outside of the original ordinary doors and windows, and the outermost double-layer armor corresponds to the position to strengthen the protection, which can also effectively prevent the attack of weapons such as door-breaking guns.
But the next day (Saturday), they received an invitation to the Metropolitan Police Department for a cup of tea β though not for illegally altering the building.

Chiba and Ashbara sat at the table, while Officer Takagi sat across from them.
"Dead?" Qian Yu was stunned.
"Hmm," Officer Takagi nodded. "Just this morning, cleaners found his body in the presidential suite where Congressman Oki was staying."
"Why did you call us? The people who can provide information are detectives, the owners of suites, and people who don't like Odagi, don't you gather them? Ash Plain raises another question.
"Actually, they're all being questioned in other rooms... Officer Takagi scratched his head and said with a smile. "Actually, we weren't going to let you little ones come over today, but this was suggested by Mr. Hoshino - he said you two might be able to provide useful information."
"What about Conan?" Thousand Feathers raised an eyebrow. "I'm afraid he won't be able to provide β oh, if the Maori detective comes..."
"yes," Officer Takagi nodded. "Conan came with the Maori detectives."
There was a knock on the door to the conference room, and a policeman came in with a black file bag.
"Takagi, this is what the Twilight Police Department asked me to sendβ"
"Give it to them directly," Takagi gestured. "You don't have to look at me, the police department asked you to send these first-hand photos of the scene to show them."
βγγγβ Qian Yu took the file bag, thanked him, and opened the file bag and took out the contents of it.
It was a stack of photographs and an autopsy file.
There are quite a few photos, but many of them are just the most ordinary photos of the ground - it seems that the Metropolitan Police Department has prepared a full set of photos of the scene.
Let's put aside the photos that don't have the details at a glance... Otherwise, the workload of finding clues will increase by several orders of magnitude...
The scene of the corpse...
Mr. Oki sat in front of the closet, leaning against the wardrobe, and the middle of his upper body was stained with blood, and the stab wound was probably due to the lack of good lighting at the scene, so it was not clear - hmm...
The auxiliary unit magnified the bloodstained part, so that Qianyu's gaze focused on one placeβa hole that was difficult to detect.
It is also worth noting that the blood splattered after the assassination of the big wood rock pine formed a very subtle "shape" on the wardrobe.
Looks like something used to hang up... Is it a bath towel or clothes of this size?
After finding no useful clues in the other photographs, Chiba looked at the autopsy report that Ashbara was reading, only to find that she was looking at a modeling diagram of a thrust reverser weapon from the muscle fault caused by the assassination - the only conclusion drawn on the page was that the weapon was a dagger.
"Well, excuse me," Takagi asked as soon as he saw that Chiba's attention was clearly no longer on the papers. "Who are the 'people who don't like the eyes of Congressman Oki'?"
"Mr. Rutsuki Fengshui," Chiba replied. "At that time, he was doing it to Miss Mio Tokiwa for Rutsuki Minewater... The harassment was very dissatisfied. β
"That, may I ask what is the height of Mr. Ruyue Fengshui?" Gray Plains, who had been thinking about it before, suddenly said. "Approximate values are fine."
"I've only met Mr. Kiratsu once before," Takagi said after a moment's thought. "I feel like I'm about 1.65 to 1.7 meters, right?"
"Where's Tokiwa-sama?" Gray Yuan Wai continued to ask. "Without high heels."
"I don't know." Takagi shook his head. "She should be about 1.75 meters after she puts on high heels."
"Thank you." Gray Yuan nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Did you think of something?" Takagi asked.
"I'm wondering what's going on with the weird" blood stain on the closet." Qian Yu pointed to the page that Qian Yu was reading and said. "Nothing else has been discovered."
"Oh?" Takagi hurriedly looked at the few pieces of paper in his hand. "Really! This bloodstain is very strange... β
Again, there was a knock on the door, and the officer from before walked in again.
"This is an invitation letter from Mr. Hoshino, who came here to make a note, on behalf of Miss Tokiwa." As he spoke, the officer handed over two beautiful invitations.
"Tokiwa-sama invited us?" Qian Yu took it in amazement, handed the invitation letter to Gray Yuan Ai, and looked at his own invitation. "Sundayβthat is, tomorrow night...
"Well, since you don't have any new discoveries for the time being, you can go back... Takagi said. "You can take the photos, and if you find anything when you go back, please let us know."
"Okay, quit." After the thousand feathers bowed, they left the room with Gray Yuan Ai.
"Drink machine... Walking to the staircase, Chiba suddenly found a vending machine not far away. "I'm going to buy some drinks, do you want anything?"
"Orange juice will do." After Gray Yuan Wai finished speaking, he stood at the top of the stairs and waited for Qianyu to come back.
Just then, she suddenly heard someone call her.
"Gray Plains-san!"

An hour later, at the door of a small single-family apartment.
"You're finally here," Yuan Jiaming opened the door and looked at Hoshino Kaede outside the door with a subtle expression. "You're dressed like this...
"It's just a casual touch," Kaede Hoshino pulled up the disguised mask on his face a few centimeters before releasing it. "Let's talk."
"Okay," Yuan Jiaming turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of tea. "I'd love to hear your explanation, too."
"Your explanation for infiltrating the database."
