Maori Kogoro looked around and took out a white glove from his pocket. He put it on and bent down to pick up the TV remote control from the table. There was a faint rectangular mark on the table. It was obvious that no one had touched the remote control for a few days.
He pressed the switch and turned on the television. Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the television.
Maori Kogoro knew about this program. It had been running for quite a while now and had occupied an entire station. Since the opening of Dorobiga Paradise half a month ago, there would be special interviews on this station at a fixed time every day, as well as a large number of live video transmissions.
The publicity was really good, but it made Maori Kogoro very unhappy. Because this station used to play Okino Yoko's MV, the ratings were not low. There was a large crowd watching it. Now that it was squeezed out by this theme park's special, it made him feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, there was another reason that made him hate Dorobiga Paradise even more. It was that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi were dating and playing in Dorobiga Paradise, which made him very unhappy.
"It seems like there are still a few more days. This program is really annoying.”Maori Kogoro looked at the television expressionlessly, then pressed the switch on the remote control to turn off the television.
The situation in the living room could be seen at a glance. There was nothing else worth paying attention to. Maori Kogoro strode into the bedroom.
"This clock sounds really loud." Maori Kogoro took two steps forward and frowned at the alarm clock hanging on the wall. He didn't feel it when he turned on the TV just now, but now the alarm clock kept ringing. It sounded a little annoying.
" Whoosh!" Maori Kogoro reached out and pulled open the bedroom door. The smell in the bedroom was even stronger. Not only was there the smell of dust, but there was also a musty smell mixed in. What made Maori Kogoro even more concerned was that there was a strange stench in the smell.
As a former criminal police officer and now an experienced " detective ", although the smell was not very obvious, he could still smell it.
" The smell of corpses…" he muttered in a low voice. He looked down and saw that the curtains in the room were tightly covered, and the light was very dim. He stood at the door again, blocking the light coming in through the door. He could not see very clearly, but he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a long mark on the ground.
Maori Kogoro slightly moved his body to the side, allowing the light from the door to shine in. There was a long, dark brown trail on the ground.
"Bloodstains?" Mao Li squatted down and wiped it with his hand. It was already dry. He sniffed his fingertips and there was still a faint smell of blood.
Judging from the color of the blood, it must have been over twenty-four hours old. Moreover, the dust on it was obviously less than the surrounding area. It seemed to have been left behind recently.
"It definitely wasn't the two times before the people from the news agency came. Then…it must have been yesterday.”
Maori Kogoro analyzed in his heart. Since the traces were left behind yesterday, whose blood could it be?
" Or is it possible that Mishima wasn't dead, but had been hiding from the limelight? When he sneaked back yesterday, he was discovered by those people…" Maori Kogoro guessed that this was possible. After all, there was no definite news of Mishima's death.
The bloodstain was long and extended all the way to the bottom of the wall by the window. There was a table and storage cabinet there, and the blood trail extended to the front of the cabinet.
Maori Kogoro looked at the blood trail and was about to lift his leg when he suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at the door. It was empty. There was no one there.
He turned around and quickened his pace. He squatted down and placed his hands on the handles of the two cabinet doors. He took a deep breath and then exerted force gently.
"Squeak!" The wooden cabinet door made a soft sound as it was gently pulled open by Maori Kogoro.
What greeted his eyes was a white-haired old man wearing a simple work uniform.
The old man's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was slightly open. There were clear traces of saliva at the corner of his mouth. His face was green, and there were clear brown spots on his face. It was obvious that he was already a corpse.
" This…This is…" Maori Kogoro's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
" If..." Maori Kogoro had a bad feeling." If this is the real administrator, then who was that just now?"”
His complexion had turned very bad, and his glabella was still hurting faintly. This was a sign that he had a premonition of danger. In his career as a criminal police officer and detective, it had saved him countless times.
He turned his head abruptly again and stared at the door. There was still no one, nothing.
He stared at it for a few minutes before he retracted his gaze and looked at the corpse in front of him.
Just as he turned his head, half a face poked out from the edge of the door. It was the administrator from before.
He was staring at Maori Kogoro with one of his eyes.
"The rigor mortis has begun to ease." Maori Kogoro reached out and pressed the corpse." The color of the livor mortis has been fixed..."
He pressed his finger on the livor mortis of the corpse again.”
He then undid the corpse's clothes. The faint stench of the corpse filled the air and lingered at the tip of his nose. Maori Kogoro acted as if he did not smell it and continued to examine the corpse.
Mao Li let go of his hands and took a few steps back to stand up. His mind was racing." Looking at the condition of the corpse, the time of death should be between 24 to 30 hours.”
"It's not even 12:30 p. m. now. If it's 24 to 30 hours, then it's 6:30 p. m. to 12:30 p. m. yesterday.”
"Mishima Miki is a member of the organization, so their target should be the person who traded with Mishima.”
"In other words…you want to mess with me?”
"Hmm?" At this moment, he felt the light suddenly darken.
Before she could turn around, she heard a sound of air being torn apart.
Maori Kogoro's body reacted immediately, and he squatted down with lightning speed. He only felt a gust of wind above his head, and his scalp was slightly numb from the blow.
When he turned around, the friendly administrator from before was standing behind him, looking at him with a ferocious expression.
"Who are you? Or rather, who are you?" Maori Kogoro saw that there were more than ten people at the entrance behind the administrator, so he changed his words.
All of them looked at Maori Kogoro with malicious smiles.
" Maori Kogoro, hmph hmph..." The administrator swung the baseball bat in his hand and sneered." You restless bug, I'll arrange for you to stay here today."”
"Just you guys?" Maori Kogoro's tone was disdainful as he assumed a stance. Even if he was fighting ten people alone, he did not have the slightest fear.
His gaze was like the eyes of a cheetah in the dark night. Under the dim light, it seemed to flash with a cold light.
" Uh..." The administrator was the first to bear the brunt. Facing Maori Kogoro's gaze, his entire body seemed to stiffen a little.
The others didn't feel anything, but he could clearly feel that it was as if he was facing an abyss.
The fear in his heart was getting worse and worse. His body was trembling slightly, to the point where he almost couldn't hold on. He could only force himself to shout and charge forward with his baseball bat.
The baseball bat drew an arc in the air and smashed down on Maori Kogoro's forehead.
"Pa!" Maori Kogoro easily grabbed his wrist, and his feet did not stop moving. He swept his foot across his knee joint and knocked the fake administrator to the ground. He also grabbed the baseball bat in his hand.
The administrator was still struggling, but Maori Kogoro knocked him out with a casual hit.
"Come, it's your turn, you bastards.”Maori Kogoro swung his baseball bat with one hand and waved at the guys at the door with the other.
"Damn it! Don't look down on us!" Most of these people were extremely vicious fellows. How could they withstand such provocation? They swarmed forward and squeezed in.
This was exactly what Maori Kogoro wanted. With so many people squeezed into a room, it was perfect for him to use it alone. On the other hand, his opponents would either not be able to use it well or hurt their own people because there were too many people and too little space.
Maori Kogoro kept waving the baseball bat in his hand, hitting their joints with every hit, knocking them to the ground one by one, covering their wounds in pain.
"Now, it's time for the interrogation.”Maori Kogoro held a stick and woke the administrator up, pressing him to the ground.
"Tell me, who are you?”
" Just you wait, bug." The administrator grinned." You've been targeted. You won't live long."”
"Don't say such useless things!" Maori Kogoro struck the administrator's back with his rod, causing him to twitch and twitch like a mushroom.
" Ka, ka, ka…" The alarm clock suddenly rang, and it seemed to be getting faster.
Maori Kogoro was still wondering what was going on when the administrator's expression suddenly changed and he shouted,"
"Tequila! You! You can't do this!"
