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

She knew in her heart that the truth serum was injected into her by her father before he committed suicide in order to create the illusion of torture.

Baiquanyi's Trial

The Metropolitan Police Department didn't pay much attention to this matter at the time.

But Bai Quanyi would not let go of such an obvious doubt.

Fortunately...Ryougi Shiki spoke up in time and offered his opinion:

"This, Mr. Bai."

"You also know that the legendary 'truth serum' doesn't actually exist."

There is no such thing as a truth serum that will make you tell the truth 100% of the time after taking it.

The so-called "truth serum" sodium thiopental actually has the effect of paralyzing the brain of the person being interrogated, causing him to let down his guard in a daze and talk nonsense uncontrollably.

The effect is actually not much better than getting someone drunk with alcohol.

"So it's possible that the murderer and the deceased didn't want to use truth serum at the time."

"It's an anesthetic."

Ryougi Shiki analyzed from a professional's perspective:

"Thiopental sodium itself is a common general anesthetic. Almost every hospital has it. It is not difficult to get it if you are willing."

"Perhaps they just wanted to use this drug to paralyze their opponents and facilitate kidnapping."

"And it turns out..."

"The man who was knocked unconscious should be the deceased's opponent."

As he spoke, he took out a report from the documents he was holding:

"There were two large bloodstains left at the scene."

"The pool of blood belongs to the deceased, the unidentified man."

"Another pool of blood formed against the wall, but the owner disappeared from the scene and has not been found by the police in the past four years."

Photos from the scene showed the unidentified man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head.

On the wall not far from him, there was still a large patch of blood that did not belong to him.

There was a bullet hole clearly visible on the blood-stained wall.

This shows that in addition to the deceased, there was another person at the scene when the crime occurred.

This person was shot and injured in the crossfire, and collapsed against the wall and slid down, leaving behind a large bloodstain on the wall that had both columnar and wipe-like characteristics.

But this person later disappeared from the scene.

This means that even if he is not the murderer, he must be someone related to the murderer.

"At that time, the scientific research team conducted the most detailed blood tests on the two bloodstains left at the scene."

"And the blood test report proves:"

"The mysterious man who disappeared from the scene left blood containing sodium thiopental."

"In other words, the deceased should have been the one with the advantage in this fight."

Ryougi Shiki tried to reconstruct the incident:

"He first anesthetized his opponent with sodium thiopental and then kidnapped him to this abandoned warehouse."

"After that, he might have been found by his waking opponent and killed, or he might have been found by the enemy who came to rescue him, so he ended up being the one shot and killed."

"Well...from the current perspective, that should be the case."

Bai Quanyi also nodded in agreement.

Mizuno Rena heaved a sigh of relief:

The fact that the deceased knew how to use truth serum to force a confession is not "uncommon" in itself.

Because as Ryougi Shiki said, sodium thiopental is a common medical anesthetic and it is not difficult to get it as long as you are willing.

What is really “not simple” is:

The deceased actually needs to use truth serum to interrogate his opponent.

What does this mean?

This means that common torture methods are no longer effective on the defendant.

That's why the deceased needs to use such a strange trick as truth serum.

This guy isn't even afraid of torture.

This is no ordinary gangster.

"It takes a strong will to resist torture."

"Those gangsters who just want to make a living and bank robbers who are greedy for money may appear fierce on the surface, but they absolutely cannot have such strong will inside."

"And the mysterious man who disappeared from the crime scene was so determined that he needed the deceased to use truth serum."

Ryougi Shikibo analyzed calmly:

"Do you think he is an ordinary person?"

The answer is self-evident.

That mysterious person must be someone important.

As for the deceased, the nameless middle-aged man, since he was able to go against such a person with an extraordinary background, his own identity must also be extraordinary.

These two were by no means your average gang member.

Even if they are criminals, they must be of a higher level.

"Fortunately, she has only figured out that my father and I are not simple individuals. She is still far from uncovering the true truth."

Mizuno Rena was sweating nervously.

She knew that interfering with her status would only arouse suspicion, so she could only pretend to be calm and observe quietly from the side.

The fake smile on his face became more and more forced.

And just when she thought that her father's death was a scam, she had once again successfully deceived a group of astute investigators...

"Mr. Bai..."

Mizunashi Rena held her breath nervously.

The truth was about to be revealed to the world, and she could only make one last attempt:

"It still doesn't make sense—"

"The deceased's motive."

"He bit off his wrist and shot himself in the head..."

"Who would be so cruel to himself?"

Father.. .......

"why?"

To protect my daughter.

Mizunashi Rena knew the answers to these questions.

But she could only hide the truth in her heart and try her best to confuse people.

But this trick doesn't seem to work.

Bai Quanyi hesitated for only a moment before almost revealing the truth:

"This practice of faking suicide as homicide does seem a bit difficult to understand."

In general cases where this happens, the deceased is most likely trying to defraud insurance money for his family.

"But this man is of a different identity."

"His identity is a mystery. He knows how to use truth serum and carries a gun that is impossible to trace."

"It's not difficult to imagine that this person is very likely a member of a criminal organization."

"Even agents of the intelligence services."

Bai Quanyi's words were powerful.

Mizuno Rena was silent for a while.

Memories flooded back uncontrollably.

Finally someone knows about your sacrifice... Dad.

In the silence, Rena Mizuno's heartbeat was quietly accelerating.

She marveled at Bai Quanyi's ability to restore the truth.

A father, a great warrior, a man who loved his daughter with his life, was vividly restored by him from a pile of cold old files.

At this moment, she seemed to see her father's smiling and caring face.

I can feel the heavy love.

But now is not the time to remember him.

This is not the time to thank Bai Quanyi.

Because Mizunashi Rena knows clearly that she is not only a family member of the victim, but also the inheritor of her father's legacy.

She doesn't need meaningless touching.

Live on. Only by living, defeating Gin, and destroying the organization can I be worthy of my father's sacrifice.

And now, as if it were destined by fate, she had unknowingly pushed the life given to her by her father to the brink of danger again.

"The details of this case must not be made public."

"Otherwise the situation would be dangerous."

"Mr. Bai..."

Mizuno Rena took the initiative to break the silence:

"This case..."

"What's wrong?" Bai Quanyi looked over thoughtfully.

It brings huge pressure invisibly.

But she could only bite the bullet and say:

"Is this case... not yet suitable for public reporting?"

Reminding the Metropolitan Police Department to keep it secret from the outside world was the only solution Rena Mizunashi could come up with in her panic.

I'm addicted to Baiquanyi. I feel uncomfortable if I don't do it for a day.

Mizunashi Rena smiled wryly and said, "I don't think this part should be broadcast yet. After all, the case isn't solved yet, is it? If the details of the case were to be made public, it would probably only alert the perpetrator of the murder four years ago, wouldn't it?"

"Oh?" Bai Quanyi raised his eyebrows.

Ryougi Shiki, who was standing by, also showed a puzzled look at the right moment:

"Ms. Mizuno, are you..."

"Remind us to keep it confidential?"

Journalists reminded the Metropolitan Police Department to maintain confidentiality.

He also voluntarily requested that the details of the case not be reported publicly.

This is really new.

"Reporters actively keep secrets?"

"Tsk tsk...it sounds like the police officers volunteered to work overtime."

Baiquanyi sighed meaningfully.

"..."
