Mieko stammered, "Go...go to my house?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "As someone involved in the case, it's only proper procedure for us to investigate your home. Is it inconvenient for you to have us come over?"

Mieko shook her head and said, "No, that's not it! It's just that these things have nothing to do with me. How could I possibly kill someone? You... you must have misunderstood."

Guan Feng said seriously, "We are just conducting a routine investigation. Think about it, only you and Yoshino Yuu have entered and exited the room during this period. Now that Yoshino Masazo has been injected with poison and died, you two are inevitably the prime suspects. Being able to find out the truth is a good thing for you."

Mieko asked in surprise, "Shozo was killed by an injection of poison?"

Guan Feng stared at the other person's expression and said, "That's right! Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Mieko shook her head and said, "No, no!"

Guan Feng gave her a deep look and reminded her, "In that case, please cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, even if we apply for a search warrant, you will still have to open the door."

Mieko sighed, "Fine, alright."

Guan Feng nodded and explained the situation to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong had just finished giving instructions to the technical team when he saw Guan Feng approaching. He glanced at Mei Huizi and lowered his voice, saying, "Xiao Guan, the technical department has just identified the traces on the perimeter. It's true that they climbed in from the outside wall, and the traces go all the way up to the 14th floor."

Guan Feng's expression changed: "14th floor? That's the same floor as Mihoko's place!"

Zhao Dong asked, "Are you suspicious?"

Guan Feng recounted the details of his inquiry and offered his own speculation, saying, "When I suggested going to their residence to investigate, they were clearly resistant. However, when I mentioned that Yoshino Masazo had died from an injection, their surprise seemed genuine."

"If the other party has not received professional training, then they must have some understanding or speculation about the case, but are not deeply involved!"

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "In that case, let's search immediately, focusing on the entire 14th floor for now, with Mei Huizi's room as the key target."

Guan Feng said, "I'll take Mei Huizi there now."

Next.

Guan Feng, accompanied by Mei Huizi, and Zhao Dong, accompanied by two people from the technical department, went directly to room 1402.

Guan Feng asked, "Is this the one?"

Mieko nodded and said, "Yes." Then she opened the door.

Thud!

Open the door.

The group put on shoe covers and went inside.

The house is decorated in a light and elegant style, with a beige tone that makes the whole room feel warm and refined, and also shows the owner's unique decorating style.

Guan Feng said, "Miss Mihoko, our people need to collect some traces. You don't mind, do you?"

Mieko said somewhat reluctantly, "Please, do as you please!"

Guan Feng nodded to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong said, "Check it as soon as possible, don't miss any details."

Two technical team members, one went straight to the windowsill, and the other began to extract traces along the sofa by the windowsill.

Guan Feng continued to communicate with Mihoko: "Does anyone usually come to this room?"

Mieko nodded and said, "Yes, when Yoshino Masazo comes back, Yoshino Yuutake also comes sometimes."

Guan Feng asked, "Are there any other people?"

Mihoko's eyes darted away as she looked at the two technical team members, then she sighed and said, "Yes, yes."

Guan Feng asked, "Who?"

Mieko said, "Miyamoto Takeyoshi."

Guan Feng asked, "Who is he?"

Mieko said, "They are also Japanese, investing in and building a chemical processing plant here."

Guan Feng seemed to recall something, and frowned as he asked, "Is it the Japanese and American cleaning and chemical products?"

Mieko said, "You've heard of it?"

Guan Feng said, "With such a large global presence, it's hard not to have heard of Japan, the US, and the WHO, right? Why is he coming to see you?"

Mieko said, "He knows about my relationship with Yoshino Masazo and feels sorry for me. He hopes I can switch jobs to help him and he will come over to visit occasionally."

Guan Feng asked, "Did he come yesterday and today?"

Mieko blinked unconsciously and shook her head, saying, "No."

Guan Feng patted the recorder and reminded him, "Yoshino Yuutake has already been invited to the station for questioning because he concealed information. If you have anything to hide, you'll have to come with us too."

Mieko sighed, "Okay, he came last night, but left in the middle of the night. That has nothing to do with the case, right?"

Guan Feng said, "We'll determine whether there's a specific connection. Besides that, are there any other people involved?"

Mieko shook her head and said, "No."

Guan Feng nodded upon seeing this.

Half an hour later.

Two members of the technical team successfully detected footprints on the windowsill.

By comparing the size and the shoe pattern, it was found that these marks were consistent with the marks on the outer edge of the wall.

in other words.

The trapeze artist likely entered through Mieko's room.

Upon receiving this news, the entire criminal investigation team was on high alert, and Mieko found it even more unbelievable.

Zhao Dong waved his hand and ordered someone to take Mei Huizi back to the nearest branch office.

Recalling what had just happened, Guan Feng suggested, "Team leader, I'd like to retrieve the surveillance footage again to confirm when they entered and exited."

Zhao Dong said, "That's how we should do it! Come on, I'll go with you."

Guan Feng and his companion returned to the monitoring room on the first floor.

This time.

The group was used to Guan Feng playing the video at double speed.

Five minutes later.

Guan Feng successfully extracted a figure.

He pointed to the screen and said, "Team leader, we found him! Look at this person! Mihoko left the room at 6:58 and entered the elevator at 7:01. The other person came to the door immediately after Mihoko entered the elevator and opened the door with a key."

Looking at the scene, Zhao Dong said, "It seems that Mieko might not know about it?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "A person's subconscious actions can easily betray their true thoughts. The other party's deliberate avoidance just now was probably because they were afraid that Mieko would find out. Look here! If they really knew, there would be no need to make this unnecessary movement if they wanted to pretend that Mieko was unaware!"

"Besides, if Mieko really knew something, the chances of her being discovered are too high. I still maintain my previous view: Mieko may know something, but she is not deeply involved."

Zhao Dong stared at the screen several times, then nodded and said, "You're right. Good job, Xiao Guan. Your Director Bai is a micro-expression analysis expert. Did you learn a thing or two from him?"

Guan Feng said, "I've learned a lot from Director Bai."

Zhao Dong patted Guan Feng on the shoulder and said, "Continue to retrieve the data and see when he comes out."

Guan Feng nodded.

Next.

He continued playing it.

The video continued playing, and around 7:30, a figure came out of the door, glanced around, then quickly went downstairs, took the elevator on the 12th floor, and left, completely disappearing from the community's surveillance footage.

Guan Feng frowned and said, "Team leader, the other party is very cautious and should be a professional. I suggest that we take action to arrest them first to prevent them from escaping. Of course, the team should also continue to investigate along the line of Mihoko. We should take a two-pronged approach."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "We'll do it your way."
