After entering the elevator, Lin Yi pressed the fourth floor.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, there was no one else in the elevator except Lin Yi and Takashi Matsuo.
Although Lin Yi didn't turn his head, he could see Takashi Matsuo standing behind him turning his head and looking at him through the elevator door.
Looking at his movements, it was as if he was saying, "Show me your reasoning ability in the studio just now and catch me."
Lin Yi said, "Mr. Matsuo."
"Hmm? What's wrong? Assistant Lin."
Takashi Matsuo said.
"The matter of Editor Suwa... you've heard about it, right."
Lin Yi lowered his voice, making Takashi Matsuo feel a vague sense of oppression.
"Hmm... I heard Yamanaka's words when I went out."
Takashi Matsuo frowned. He didn't like Lin Yi's voice at the moment. It was as if it was like a criminal interrogation by a criminal police officer in a Japanese drama.
"Since Mr. Matsuo is in charge of hosting this detective-type program, then you shouldn't be too unfamiliar with the word murder, right?"
"Well... that's true."
Takashi Matsuo didn't know why, but he had a feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He tried to take over the topic: "But if it's a murder scene, then it's my first time seeing it..."
Lin Yi ignored the second half of his sentence, and he continued: "Mr. Matsuo, do you know? An FBI expert once published such a paper on murder. He pointed out in the paper... Ninety percent of the murders in the world are revenge killings."
"That is to say, whenever a murder case occurs, once the police determine that it is a murder case, they will immediately conduct an investigation in the direction of revenge... The first suspects are friends, relatives, lovers, and even colleagues who have had conflicts with him."
The word "colleague" seemed like a needle, stabbing Takashi Matsuo's body fiercely, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Is that so?"
Takashi Matsuo tried hard to calm himself down. He even wanted to use a smile to cover it up, but he found that he really couldn't smile.
He tentatively asked: "Assistant Lin... you are telling me this, are you suspecting me?"
"Well, I heard some rumors from other staff members, saying that you and Editor Suwa have had some conflicts recently."
Lin Yi slowly turned his head and glanced at Takashi Matsuo: "So Mr. Mouri and I will investigate you later, you have to be mentally prepared..."
"Of course, no problem."
Takashi Matsuo smiled: "I will definitely cooperate with the police investigation."
"Is that so? That's good..."
Lin Yi retracted his gaze and said again: "I still remember... During the break, you came back from the bathroom, covered in sweat."
When the words came to this point, the elevator door opened with a ding.
Lin Yi ignored Takashi Matsuo's expression and left the elevator door straight away.
Watching Lin Yi's receding back, Takashi Matsuo unconsciously bit his lip. If someone touched his back, they would definitely find that he was sweating a lot, just like when he had just returned to the studio.

After Lin Yi arrived at the scene of the murder, Kogoro Mouri hadn't run down yet.
He looked at his watch and noted the time.
After stating his identity and squeezing away the onlookers who were watching the excitement, Lin Yi glanced at the corpse of Editor Suwa in the mixing room. He died simply.
A shot hit the head, and he died on the spot, too late to make any sound, but even if he could make a sound, it would be useless.
This is a mixing room, and the sound insulation effect is naturally self-evident. Even if he yelled his throat out, the people outside might not be able to hear him.
Fresh blood splashed out from his head, just like a balloon filled with water, pierced by a needle, scattered everywhere.
To be honest, Lin Yi didn't feel much sympathy for the death of this Editor Suwa.
Because this person deserved to die.
The show that the two of them worked together to create, it was originally agreed that you would be the show editor and I would be the host.
But after the show became a hit, he immediately turned his back on him.
He probably thought Matsuo Takashi had an honest face, so he wanted to kick him away.
Matsuo Takashi pleaded with him several times, but it was useless.
As a result, the honest man unleashed his inner power and directly killed him.
He didn't even have time to regret it before he kicked the bucket.
The most important thing is that Matsuo Takashi is also a mystery enthusiast, with some knowledge of murder techniques.
Just from the murder method he used, one can tell that he had been planning for this day for a long time.
Unfortunately, people don't die if they don't court death.
He had to court death and invite Kogoro Mouri to participate in the show on the day he took action.
It seemed like he felt a sense of accomplishment in taking action in front of a famous detective.
Unfortunately, no matter how perfect the plan is, once the person responsible for executing it lacks the ability, the plan will become a pile of dog shit.
After Matsuo Takashi took action, he panicked completely.
He hadn't even wiped the sweat off his body before he ran into the studio, as if afraid others wouldn't know he was on the ninth floor.
Couldn't you just stand at the door? Wipe off the sweat before coming in?
Moreover, after the editor who was close to him was killed, he didn't show too much shock.
Although he wanted to fake that he didn't do it, logically, since he had a conflict with editor Suwa, it would be normal to be scared at this time.
Instead of calmly saying "Of course, no problem" "I will cooperate with the police investigation" and so on.
Matsuo Takashi killed someone.
Lin Yi used him as a stepping stone for Kogoro Mouri, and he didn't feel any burden in his heart.
"Ah... ah... ah... let... let... let me through... I am Mouri... Kogoro, a... a detective."
Just then, Kogoro Mouri ran over, panting heavily as he squeezed through the crowd.
After seeing Lin Yi, he was taken aback and said, "You... how are you faster than me?"
"I came down by elevator."
Lin Yi looked at his watch and confirmed the time.
"Is... that so."
Kogoro Mouri took a few deep breaths, and after catching his breath, he said, "Then you... did you find anything?"
When Kogoro Mouri said this, Matsuo Takashi leaned in slightly, seemingly wanting to hear.
"Yes."
Lin Yi glanced at him and chuckled, "But this is not the place to talk... We'll find a place to discuss it properly after the police arrive."
Matsuo Takashi felt a little unnatural after Lin Yi glanced at him.
Kogoro Mouri didn't notice, just nodded, "Okay."
