Chapter 82 Chapter 82 It feels quite interesting to put the blame on others...
"No, I'm really shocked by this, so I'm thinking... surveillance cameras are just surveillance after all," Winter said. "You know, Robin is also a master of disguise, and what he said just now was also very interesting."
Robin seemed to want to eliminate another competitor just now, in short, he wanted to investigate very actively.
"So Sister Winter is wondering if Robin is going to frame Isshiki-sensei?" Alice tilted her head. "Yeah, that would be quite interesting."
Although the development was a million miles away from what she had imagined, the core point remained unchanged. As for the ugly side of human desire, or the bestiality it revealed, she had no interest in that matter.
Winter: "Also, I have one more thing to ask..."
"Although I can guess what Sister Winter wants to ask, asking too many questions will indeed be troublesome, so I won't answer."
Alice smiled as if what Winter would ask was a trivial matter, which, of course, it probably was to her.
What Winter wants to ask is - if you survive in the end, that is, if Kamo no Hashiro really wins, will you assume that you are dead, or have planned to die?
That kind of thing is not funny at all.
Winter didn't have many memories of Alice. If she had to say the deepest and strongest memory, it would be that Milo killed Alice with his own hands. But judging from the current situation, it should be that Milo was fooled by Alice. Then the only thing left was that she really loved reading stories about monsters or fantasy creatures.
And she said that she was on the side of the monster.
Without exception, humans win in all those stories. If Alice stands on the side of the monsters, then who is the human who wins in the end?
Winter doesn't want this human being to refer to Kamohashi Ron at all, and Alice didn't say that she wanted to avenge her mother. Since it was revenge, it meant that in Alice's imagination, Kamohashi Ron would lose... So the so-called human being should refer to someone else, right?

"It's a bit troublesome that there aren't any forensic pathologists present, and the two officers' forensic knowledge isn't very comprehensive," said Prosecutor Kazama. "This is the conclusion that Kamonohashi Ron and I have reached. The shashi was already dead before the explosion. The explosion was simply a deception to conceal the identity of the deceased or to destroy the body."
Officer Sanwang: "Is that so? Then can we identify the suspect?"
Li Koch also returned at this time: "I did a little research, but I didn't find any useful clues. However, I am sure that the bomb should have been planted in Cesar's cabin last night. Cesar, did you lock the door of your cabin last night?"
Cesar looked at Officer Sanwang, "Did we lock the door?"
Officer Sanwang: "I still have that kind of vigilance. I've locked the door."
Kamobashi said, "Lee Couch, you mean that the person who planted the bomb must have some kind of lock-picking skills. As far as I know, those who have such lock-picking skills are me, Robin, and you, Lee Couch, probably also have some."
Lee Koch didn't deny this: "So we need a clear alibi to rule out the possibility of our presence. Also, the alibi of someone we know well will be less effective. For example, if you and Officer Isshiki testify against each other, we can suspect you of being an accomplice."
"In this case, wouldn't all the human evidence be trustworthy? I have a good relationship with Prosecutor Kazama, Lee Koch," Robin retorted. "Or do you intend to rely solely on the physical evidence?"
"You can ask Alice for surveillance cameras. There are some on the island," said Li Koch.
"Ah? But will that little girl give it to us?" asked Gerjiez.
"I think if it's related to advancing the game, she'll give it to us." Kamohashi Ron suggested, "We can try asking."
"I have no objection," Sanwang said. "Having surveillance cameras would make it easier to confirm who actually did it. After all, even though it was an outsider who initially attacked, there's no telling if that person would attack others later in order to win."
"Has Prosecutor Rinhekazuma ruled out the possibility of self-defense?" asked Isshiki Totsumaru.
"In the past, cases of self-defense have mostly resulted in innocence. If it was truly self-defense, there's no need to destroy the body," Kamonohashi said. "Besides, Mr. Cesar's cabin probably isn't the primary scene. We need to find a few people to confirm it."
"I'll go with Lee Koch to confirm it," Robin said. "If you're still not sure, have Ms. Geddes come with me."
Most people agreed with Robin's suggestion.
Lee Koch glanced at Kamohashi Ron and Isshiki Totomaru, noticing their expressions remained largely unchanged. He continued, "In that case, I'll search with Robin first, but there must be clues in Alice's surveillance footage."

Alice was also a little surprised by the "players" who came to look for the surveillance camera: "That might be okay, but are some people really okay? There's evidence in the surveillance camera that's damaging to some people."
"That's not necessarily unfavorable evidence." Isshiki Todumaru said, "So Alice, just give us the surveillance footage."
"Well, if Isshiki-sensei says so, I'll be waiting to see what happens." Alice smiled as she copied the surveillance footage onto a USB drive. "I figured someone here might have a computer, so I've copied the footage from the past three days."
As for how to judge or how to use it, that is their own business. Alice has no intention of interfering in such matters. Moreover, it seems that several guys also want to advance the progress of the game. After all, Alice would be very distressed if no one died at all.
As a GM, she couldn't personally kill people to advance the plot. Wouldn't that completely ruin the game? And if she did, there would be another major problem. After all, she had tampered with Kamonohashi Ron's body again. If she did it herself, she would be shooting herself in the foot.
Alice isn't that stupid.
From the three days of surveillance footage, both Geddes and Robin quickly noticed something: "Officer Isshiki, you went into Cesar's cabin alone yesterday."
Isshiki Totsumaru seemed to have anticipated this. "Didn't Cesar and Officer Sanno's testimony just now mention that? They locked the door last night. I don't have that kind of advanced sniper skills. If I was the one who planted the bomb, how did I get in?"
"Kamonohashi Ron can open all kinds of locks." Robin said, "As long as he helps you open the lock, it's fine."
"Did you see me unlocking Cesar's room or anything like that on the surveillance footage, Robin?" Kamonohashi said. "And I think if Mizuki really did enter Cesar's room alone, that would serve as his alibi. Prosecutor Kazama and I haven't stated our presumed time of death yet, right?"
Robin: “……?”
Kamohashi Ron: "It's unfortunate. Robin, you can ask Prosecutor Kazama about this. Isshiki Totumaru entered the room around the time we estimated Sagi to have died. And during our investigation just now, we confirmed that Cesar's room was not the first scene."
Geddes: "How could it be such a coincidence that you entered Cesar's cabin at that time? And one more thing, Officer Isshiki, what were you doing in Cesar's cabin?"
Isshiki Todumaru: "This has nothing to do with this case, right?"
"After all, you're a suspect in this case, Toto. Even though it might not be friendly to some people, you should still speak out about this." Kamohashi Ron looked at Sanno, "This is information that the Metropolitan Police Department has been holding back on."
Isshiki Totomaru: "I went to Cesar's cabin to investigate the 'Talent Kidnapper', Hummingbird."
319
"Hummingbird?!" The sudden mention of this name caused a stir, and Ge Jiezi subconsciously asked, "Since this is confidential information within the police department, how can anyone know if you're lying?"
Robin, who had returned at this time, spoke up instead: "There were two police officers and a prosecutor present. It seems unnecessary for Officer Isshiki to tell such a lie, as it will be exposed immediately. I've also heard about the hummingbird incident. The reason it was never made public was because the kidnapped person was never held accountable."
"He's like the phantom thief in old-school detective novels." Kamohashi Ron looked at Robin. "When he wants to kidnap someone, he'll send a warning letter first. Then, even if the police are surrounding him, he'll successfully kidnap them. But a few days later, these people will return unharmed."
"And they only kidnap those who are at the top of their game in certain areas," Prosecutor Kazama added. "Officer Isshiki isn't lying. This person actually exists. But Officer Isshiki, why did you go to Cesar's cabin to investigate? Do you suspect Cesar is a hummingbird?"
"No." Cesar spoke at this time, "Officer Isshiki suspected Sanwang, and the door lock was left for Officer Isshiki by me."
Geddes: "...So, we've ruled out Officer Isshiki as a suspect?"
"There's nothing we can do. After all, according to the Kamonohashi theory, this surveillance footage is very strong physical evidence," Robin said. "It's even stronger physical evidence than the human evidence that proves an alibi."
"At least one person has been ruled out," Prosecutor Kazama said. "Also, I have a new question. If everyone has a convincing alibi, then... it could only be someone else hiding on the island, right? And Robin, now that you're back, have you found the primary crime scene?"
Robin: "No, but we found an interesting guy with blood on his hands. Lee Koch has brought him here."
Kamohashi Ron saw the person Li Kochi brought over and said without much surprise, "Inukai-sensei."
