There are the "dolphins" responsible for the performance, the audience responsible for watching, and in addition there should be dolphin trainers who are essential to completing the performance.
Jinpei Matsuda tried to pull out the long nail but found that he couldn't do it at all. He clenched his back teeth and felt that the anger in his chest had nowhere to vent. Just as he was spinning in place, he found Fujiwara Yu rummaging through the drawers looking for something.
"Takashi, what are you looking for?"
"Dolphin trainer."
"ha?"
After Fujiwara Yu explained his idea to the two, the three of them started searching together. In the end, it was Akihara Kenji who discovered the hidden camera inside the lampshade. It seemed that the murderer wanted to record their expressions.
Jinpei Matsuda snatched the pinhole camera and raised his middle finger towards the lens without saying a word. He knew that the murderer was watching, and the middle finger was for him.
Ding-a-ling.
The room's landline suddenly chimed pleasantly. Matsuda Jinpei blinked twice. Could it be that the murderer had become enraged by his actions? He rolled his eyes and dropped the pinhole camera onto the bed. Before he could answer the call, a familiar voice rang out from the other end:
"Long time no see, Officer Matsuda. The last time we met was six years ago. Do you remember?"
It was the voice of Yamada Kimi.
Matsuda Jinpei pressed the hands-free button, crossed his arms over his chest and said in an unhappy tone:
"Of course I remember. What did you mean by calling me? Do you want me to give you the middle finger in person?"
"Hahaha, of course not... I just came to tell you that there's no need to arrest the guy from the art gallery. I've already dealt with him. Isn't that thoughtful?"
"Stop talking nonsense. What exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to provoke our police?"
A sharp laugh came from the other end of the phone. Yamada Gongkei seemed to be laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. After a while, he calmed down and said with a smile:
"Officer Takashi is with you, right? Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you."
"That's good. After all, what I'm going to say next is for you." Yamada Gongkei deliberately cleared his throat, his tone full of joy. "The two bodies are my clues to you. After you crack it, only you and Officer Matsuda can come together. If that handsome guy next to you shows up, I'll kill the hostage immediately."
hostage.
Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He realized that Yamada Gongkei had noticed something and said coldly:
"Don't harm the hostages."
"I know that hostages are just bargaining chips in this game. You better find me quickly... When you're playing games, you get bored if you wait too long for your teammates, and when you get bored, you want to do something bad. Hehe, I'll hang up now. See you later, officers!"
The call was disconnected, and there was no way to locate him without a tracking device.
When the three of them were racking their brains to think about how to find the clues conveyed by the body, Fujiwara Yu's cell phone vibrated. Looking at the caller ID, it was Hashimoto Yuji calling.
"Hey, Hashimoto, what's up?"
"Inspector... please go back to the Metropolitan Police Department. It's hard to explain over the phone."
"Okay, we'll go back immediately."
