National Destiny Delta: Starting with a naked AK, it splashes across the globe.

Whether it was because he had just been caught in the rain or because someone had died, Mo Qi was shivering the whole time.

"No, we haven't even dealt with the previous person's death yet, and now another one has died."

Ye Han also wanted to know what had happened, that two contestants had died in such a short time?

Has the bounty tournament been suspended?

Ye Han still felt that the competition results were the most important thing to them, since the person who died was not someone they knew.

"Han-ge has stopped, and the countdown for the bounty tournament has also stopped."

"Sigh, who is so bold as to kill someone on the competition field?"

Ye Han hadn't expected his workload to suddenly become so heavy. Well, now he had to investigate two murder cases.

Soon, Gale and Luna also arrived at the competition venue.

"Oh, Nana, I haven't had enough sleep yet."

"Still sleeping? Don't you know another contestant died?"

Jifeng and Luna also began their investigation, and Ye Han naturally found Luna in the monitoring room afterward.

"Sister Na, how's it going? Any leads?"

Luna was holding a cup of coffee, looking at the monitor screen in the control room. There were only ten screens in the control room, but it looked like she had more than thirty.

"No, my surveillance footage only shows the murderer returning to the competition venue."

Luna took a sip of coffee, but it no longer had any effect on energizing her.

"So, the murderer is among us?"

"Ah."

"What are the characteristics of this murderer?"

"No, after climbing out of the first-floor toilet, he quickly returned to the competition venue. Apart from a gun left behind by the murderer at the scene and the fact that the murderer was male, he knew nothing else."

Ugh, this is such a hassle. I should have just gone back to Korea with Hayate. Why did I have to come to America to handle this case...?

Luna is now regretting it. She could have just gone on vacation, but now she has to come back to investigate cases.

"Poor thing, by the way, where is Sister Luna and Sister Gale?"

"At the crime scene, Stephen was collecting evidence. Sigh, I've seen that scene too. Apart from a few bullets and a gun that the killer left at the scene, there was nothing else."

"Okay, I'll go find Sister Jifeng."

Ye Han returned to the men's restroom at the crime scene. Now, Ji Feng's job became more complicated, as he needed to investigate and collect evidence from each of the "VIP" seats one by one.

"Oh dear, Sister Jifeng, you've really suffered."

Ye Han was starting to feel sorry for Ji Feng, who had to open each door to investigate while wearing a mask.

"Ugh, I want to go home. I don't want to work on this case anymore."

Jifeng is really angry right now. She was supposed to go home with Luna to meet her parents, okay?

"Haha."

Ye Han entered the restroom and fell into deep thought as he looked at the three bullet holes in different locations on the scene.

"One bullet hole in Tom's body, one in Tom's head, and another in the wall next to him?"

Upon seeing this scene, for some reason, Ye Han's mind automatically conjured up the scene from that time.

"It should be that Tom was shot in the chest first, and then Tom started fighting with the killer, which caused the killer's second shot to miss."

But Tom's struggles were futile; a third shot struck him in the head, and the fatal blow killed him instantly.

Ye Han thought of this most likely scenario; otherwise, there was no way to explain who fired the missing shot.

"Could it have gone off accidentally? That's unlikely, not everyone is like me..."

Then Ye Han looked at the window next to him and saw what he wanted to see.

"So this way leads to that side? That's not surprising."

Chapter 168 I'll Make a Bet with You

The window opens directly onto the Coney Island arena, which is the ring for the National Games.

In other words, the murderer could easily kill the person and then return to the scene, or blend into the crowd of onlookers.

Even if the crowd doesn't come to watch the game right away, they can find a place to change their clothes and dry their hair and blend back into the crowd.

If the changed clothes are discovered, the murderer can make up an excuse, saying that he was too wet after using the toilet and had to change.

In short, no matter how you look at it, you can't defeat it...

Furthermore, it's impossible for a normal person to install a surveillance camera in a toilet, which means that we still have no clue who the murderer is, and everything has returned to a state of complete ignorance.

"Sigh, this is tough... the trail has gone cold again..."

Ye Han never expected that this storyline would return to square one. Is this guy messing with him?

Moreover, it has rained now, which has washed away the traces at the scene even more, making it impossible for the police and Ye Han to find anything.

"Commander Stephen, the fingerprint extraction results are in."

Just as Stephen was squinting at the corpse, a junior police officer approached him.

"What were the results?"

"The gun only had David's fingerprints on it."

Looking at it this way, it seems like only David is the murderer...

“Mr. Stephen, I was fighting with the thugs when I got my fingerprints on the gun.”

David's face was filled with panic, and he imagined the scene of fighting with the murderer.

"Hmm? How can I trust you?"

The police in the United States care most about the outcome; whoever is the most suspicious will be arrested.

“Well, Officer Stephen, what Mr. David said isn’t entirely unreasonable. David’s fingerprints are only on the muzzle of the gun, so what Mr. David said isn’t entirely unreasonable.”

The police officer still spoke up for David, after all, David was, in a sense, a citizen of their own country.

"Whether it makes sense or not, let's handcuff them first!"

Stephen's mental state is not good right now. Two murders have occurred during the game in a short period of time, both on his own turf. How can he face people if word gets out?

Ye Han, on the other side, was in a state of extreme clarity in his mind for some reason. Perhaps he hadn't slept enough, or perhaps he had pressed some kind of switch.

"The rain washed away the traces in the corridor, but some subtle traces can still be seen here."

Ye Han followed the footsteps washed by the rain and arrived at a shoe cabinet.

"A shoe cabinet, an umbrella holder? Hmm? There are also two footprints here, it looks like someone has been standing here for a long time."

Looking at the umbrella cage that was leaking water, and noticing that there were signs that someone had been there, Ye Han suddenly had a plan in mind.

An umbrella cage is a container for holding umbrellas; it can hold at least five or six umbrellas.

A shoe cabinet needs no further introduction; it's simply for storing shoes.

"Are the umbrellas here really this weird? Some have two holes, some have more than a dozen holes, and some look quite old."

But why are there still shoe prints here? It means someone was here recently, not long ago. What was that person doing here?

Ye Han thought to himself as he picked up several umbrellas and examined them carefully. Then his gaze settled on a black umbrella with only one hole in it.

"Hey, Agent Ye Han? What are you doing?"

Just as Ye Han was pondering over the umbrella, a strong hand landed on his shoulder.

"What the hell? Who is this?"

Ye Han turned around and saw Ji Feng dressed in white, looking like a cleaning lady.

"Officer Stephen over there is calling you over. Every contestant here needs to go over."

As he spoke, Gale pointed in Stephen's direction.

"My goodness! Sister Gale? Did you just touch a stone with your hand?"

Ye Han had just seen Ji Feng fiddling with one hand in that VIP stall, and he was wearing this white glove when he was doing so.

"No? I've already changed these gloves."

As Jifeng spoke, he lifted his gloves and smelled them, looking quite adorable.

"Oh oh oh."

"You go ahead, I still have other places to investigate. Ugh, I'm so sleepy..."

After saying his piece, Jifeng parted ways with Ye Han, who then returned to Stephen's place to collect the gunpowder reaction data.

The gunpowder smoke reaction is a chemical colorimetric reaction used in forensic medicine to detect gunshot residue. It is mainly used to determine whether a suspect has fired a gun or to estimate the shooting distance.

The principle is that when a gun is fired, the smoke produced by the burning gunpowder contains unburned gunpowder particles, as well as nitrates and nitrites. These tiny particles can adhere to the shooter's hands, cuffs, or around the bullet hole of the target.

Therefore, anyone who has fired a gun will have these marks on their body, which can be detected using test strip swabbing and paraffin section methods.

Ye Han then looked around the corridor and found that there were no surveillance cameras from the toilet at the crime scene to the secluded shoe cabinet.

This shows that the murderer was very confident in his route and completely avoided everyone. The surveillance footage at the scene could only show the murderer returning to the competition venue from the direction of the toilet.

Ye Han had already completely deduced the movement routes of all the murderers in his mind.

"Young man Ye Han, since you're here, let's test the gunpowder reaction first."

Although Stephen still admires Ye Han quite a bit, Ye Han is currently at the scene, so the case still needs to be investigated, and the gunpowder reaction naturally needs to be tested.

"Okay, but Commander Stephen, let me make it clear to you now, there shouldn't be anyone on the field who can detect it."

Even if there were, it would only be in David.

Ye Han knew perfectly well that if the murderer had really used the method he had in mind, then none of the people on the field would have been able to successfully detect the gunpowder reaction.

"Young man, I like smart people, but I don't like those who think they're so clever. You'd better not talk nonsense here."

Stephen always prioritizes evidence when handling cases. Although he is rather lazy, he does indeed rely on evidence.
