Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

The scene also contained guns, bullet holes, bloodstains, and other traces of armed conflict.

And the body of an unidentified man with no identification and a bullet-pierced head.

All signs indicate that this case is most likely not an ordinary criminal homicide, but a murder case involving gangs and violence.

"The Metropolitan Police Department at the time speculated that the deceased might be connected to some yakuza gangs and underground criminal organizations."

"In order to find out the identity of the body, we even put an advertisement in the newspaper to solicit clues from the public."

“But in the end, nothing was found.”

"Not only did no one provide any clues, but not even one person came forward to claim the body."

"The police couldn't even identify the deceased, and the case gradually faded from public view and was never resolved."

Anyway, the public security in Tokyo in this world is extremely poor.

There are too many conflicts between gangs, bombers, bank robbers, jewelry robbers... There are too many conflicts between various criminal organizations.

It was just an unknown man who died who was suspected to be a gang member. If we can't find out the cause, we'll just stop investigating.

So the case has been pending until now.

It became the old case file that Rena Mizunashi holds in her hands today.

"That's right..."

Bai Quanyi roughly understood the ins and outs of the case.

He sighed helplessly:

"Looking at this case alone, the Metropolitan Police Department can't be blamed for its negligence."

"The murderer killed him and then ran away, disappearing from the face of the earth."

"The identity of the deceased is unknown and his social relationships remain a mystery."

"Even if I were to take over this case, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come to any conclusion."

In this world without surveillance, big data, fingerprint and DNA databases, such unsolved cases are almost unsolvable.

So Bai Quanyi could only honestly admit that he was not very sure.

"Why don't we investigate another case?"

Mizuno Reina calmly put down the file that had been secretly scratched with her finger marks:

"As the first case of the project, we should choose one that's easy to solve, right?"

"Otherwise, our TV cameras will only capture images of you all looking gloomy, frustrated, and incompetent."

She suggested half-jokingly.

But the real reason is...

Cannot check.

This case cannot be investigated.

It's fine if the truth isn't revealed, but if the truth is revealed and the news is accidentally leaked...

What if the organization knew that Ethan Bentang didn't die from Miss Kiel's counterattack, but committed suicide to protect her daughter...

Then she would be in big trouble.

So Rena Mizunashi could only "sincerely" suggest that Shiraizumi Masu change to a simpler case to investigate.

But Bai Quanyi just shook his head firmly:

"Do not."

"Although the case is difficult, it may not be unsolvable."

"If we encounter a difficult case and don't investigate it, and just forget about it to save trouble, then what's the difference between us and those people who just did it half-heartedly in the past?"

"and……"

Bai Quanyi picked up the file and sighed softly:

"The 'Unidentified Man' case, eh..."

"It's been four years since the incident, and the deceased still doesn't even have a name."

"I'm afraid his family is still waiting now?"

"Waiting for their families to come back."

"I..." Rena Mizunashi was speechless for a moment.

Having undergone rigorous special agent training, she was unable to control the softness in her heart.

Her father has been gone for four years.

It was a sad departure.

Gin left his body at the crime scene casually like waste paper.

The Metropolitan Police Department collected the body, but cremated it hastily after the investigation proved fruitless.

At that time, Ethan Hondou's accidental exposure led to the death of the new CIA contact, causing Rena Mizunashi, who was still undercover, to lose contact with the CIA for a while.

So the CIA, which was slow to realize the situation, was unable to collect her father's body.

Because they were worried that the Black Organization would use this as an opportunity to set an ambush, they did not send anyone to claim the body afterwards.

So until now...

Her father, Ethan Bentang, was still an unknown dead man, without even a decent tablet, and was placed in the cramped space of the public mourning hall.

And Rena Mizunashi didn't even dare to look at him.

No one visited him, and no one cared about his passing.

Until now...

"Mr. Bai..."

Mizuno Rena quietly bit her lips.

At this moment, she realized the meaning of a good policeman.

If she was just an ordinary family member of a victim, she would have been so moved that she couldn't control her tears.

Unfortunately... she is not an ordinary person.

She had to hide her emotions and the truth about her father's death.

So Mizunashi Rena could only pretend to be calm, and then slowly pushed the file in her hand in front of Mr. Bai:

"Mr. Bai, since you have decided to start the investigation from this case, I can't say much."

"But my personal suggestion is that it's best to pick a case that's easy to solve and get results as soon as possible."

"That way, after the show airs, it will have a publicity effect—just as you said."

Direct blocking will only arouse suspicion.

Mizuno Rena had no choice but to give Shiraizumi Masu a hint without making a sound.

I hope he will give up after hitting a wall.

It would be best to forget about this case altogether.

Bai Quanyi just nodded calmly, opened the file bag, took out the document, and sat on the sofa to read it carefully.

His eyes were focused, yet serious.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

This case is obviously not that simple.

Just as he expected.

"Liangyi, come and take a look too." Bai Quanyi said to the secretary.

"Yeah." Ryougi Shiki took out some documents from the archives and began to read.

And Rena Mizunashi is now extremely nervous.

Nervously awaiting Bai Quanyi's investigation results.

Fortunately, there was no progress.

"Sure enough...this case is not that easy to solve."

Mizunashi Reina breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings:

His father deceived Gin and the organization by dying, thus saving her life.

This was a deception that was enough to trip Gin up.

Even Bai Quanyi probably wouldn't be able to easily find out the truth of the case through a file left behind four years ago.

"How about it?"

Mizunashi Reina asked tentatively:

"Is there any hope of solving this case?"

"It's hard to say." Bai Quanyi, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded.

There was a hint of difficulty on his face:

"This file lacks a professional autopsy report."

.. ... ...

"This case is from four years ago, and the body was cremated long ago. Nothing remains."

The lack of a professional autopsy report alone was enough to waste most of Bai Quanyi's skills.

Although the photos of the scene and the bodies taken by those master photographers are very detailed.

But it is too difficult to conduct a remote investigation and autopsy using only your eyes through photos taken four years ago.

"But there are still some doubts."

Bai Quanyi carefully read the file in his hand:

"You just said this might just be a common gang fight."

"But besides a body, a pistol, and a large amount of blood from two people, we also found something very strange—"

"A syringe and an empty vial."

The syringe and medicine were so conspicuous that they were placed clearly next to the body after the crime was committed. Even the photography masters in the forensic classes at that time would not have missed them.

Therefore, the syringe and medicine bottle were also retained as physical evidence at the scene.

"Both the vial and syringe are empty. There is still some liquid left in the syringe."

"This means that the deceased or the murderer must have injected drugs into someone before the crime."

"And the medicine in this bottle is..."

"Thiopental?"

Bai Quanyi frowned quietly:

The CIA secretly conducted human experiments in the 50s with the aim of developing the legendary mind-control drug.

Of course, the mysterious mind control experiment ultimately failed.

But they did achieve results in their research on the so-called "truth serum."

Thiopental sodium is one of them.

Later, when people mentioned truth serum, the first thing that came to mind was sodium thiopental.

"Why did the Yakuza Huobing use truth serum?"

"Is it to interrogate the opponent's subordinates?"

"Are the mafia so professional nowadays that they even use truth serum?"

Bai Quanyi was confused.

Mizuno Rena's expression was slightly stiff.
