Chapter 202 The Crime Scene
"The bloodstain indicates the start was probably right here." Tokairin Yuko put down the spray bottle containing the Luminol Solution as she looked towards Misumi Mikoto and Chen Yu, standing by the firmly shut door of the storeroom for physical education equipment.
Standing at the entrance to the equipment room, Misumi Mikoto glanced at the closed room, hesitated for a moment with a contemplative expression, and then opened the door.
As with any school's physical education equipment storeroom, Suikawa High School's storeroom was also filled with various sports equipment. However, it was apparent that students had been using the area as a hangout spot, clearing out considerable space for activities, so it didn't seem completely packed.
Unfinished snacks were left on tables, and a pile of comic books and photo magazines littered the floor, clearly indicating the state of the high schoolers who frequented this place.
After the trio of forensic investigators from UDI entered, they immediately began looking for clues, but Chen Yu only watched as Misumi Mikoto and Tokairin Yuko worked busily with Kube Rokuro and did not seem interested in intervening. In fact, he even asked Jounouchi Hiromi to stay outside the door.
Transcendent perception had already allowed him to detect the residual scent of blood in the air and the victim's unwillingness and resentment from the very first moment.
He walked to the corner and took out a rolled-up mat from storage. As he unfolded it on the floor under the surprised gaze of Misumi Mikoto and the others, the large bloodstain on the mat immediately caused Tokairin Yuko to turn her head away, her face showing an expression of distress.
This was also one of the reasons why Chen Yu did not want Jounouchi Hiromi to come in. Crime scenes are generally quite brutal, and Chen Yu had no desire for his girlfriend to witness such a scene.
"Judging from the area of this bloodstain, at least two liters of blood was lost. It's certain that the cause of death was excessive bleeding." Chen Yu pulled out a pair of surgical gloves from his pocket, put them on, examined the bloodstains on the mat, and then looked at the traces on the floor. Next to the pile of comic books, he spotted some white powder: "Dr.
Misumi, please collect the bloodstains and hairs for DNA comparison. Also, take some of this white powder on the floor for testing. It looks like this is the crime scene."
Observing the vast bloodstain on the mat, Misumi Mikoto agreed with Chen Yu's assessment. Along with Tokairin Yuko and Kube Rokuro, she started the task of collecting various samples to send for analysis.

"Brother Yu, are you okay?" Seeing Chen Yu fall onto the cushion, Kube Rokuro quickly reached out and pulled him up.
"I'm fine." Chen Yu dusted his hands off and stood up from the cushion, then also looked at Kube Rokuro, "Rokuro, where exactly did you stab just now?"
"I wasn't paying attention, just stabbing randomly," Kube Rokuro answered upon hearing Chen Yu's question. After thinking for a bit, he realized that he really hadn't been paying attention and had just randomly stabbed three times.
Hearing what Kube Rokuro said, Chen Yu closed his eyes and considered for a moment before indicating that Kube Rokuro should switch places with him, "Rokuro, you stand here, and I'll try stabbing you."
Kube Rokuro nodded at this suggestion and switched places with Chen Yu, standing in front of the cushion, while Chen Yu held the water-based pen behind him.
Recalling the positions of the wounds on the body and comparing them with Kube Rokuro, Chen Yu raised his hand and stabbed towards him. However, after two stabs, just as he was about to stab a third time, Chen Yu suddenly stopped his motion.
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen Yu?" Seeing Chen Yu's motion come to a sudden halt, Misumi Mikoto knew he must have found something amiss.
"No, that's not right," Chen Yu signaled Kube Rokuro to stand still and after trying a few more times, he still felt it was awkward, "Why would someone stab here? Even if they wanted to stab a few more times, it still doesn't make sense... Struggling? Then the second stab should be off... Why are they so far apart?"
"Mr. Chen Yu, what exactly is wrong?" Misumi Mikoto, seeing Chen Yu perplexed, hurriedly asked with concern.
Chen Yu shook his head, still thinking, but he answered Misumi Mikoto's question, "The positions of the wounds are wrong. If it was a succession of three stabs, the wounds should be more concentrated based on the length of the arm and the weapon."
