Eagle Eye Case Reverse Deduction

"I see..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded and turned to walk towards Xiao Yi, who was eating a sandwich not far away.

After some persuasion, the little girl, though somewhat resistant, eventually got Fujino to apply the ointment.

"That should solve the problem."

Fujino put away the frostbite ointment and closed the first-aid kit.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked thoughtfully at Fujino's medicine box.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "This child's family, could it be..."

"The situation is still uncertain."

Fujino interrupted Hiratsuka Shizuka, "Perhaps he was just seriously injured... maybe."

As he spoke, Fujino glanced at Xiao Yi's hand, his eyes narrowing slightly, "But what I care about more is her hand."

"Her hand?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to look at Xiao Yi's hand. "Is there a problem?"

"An avulsion fracture is a fracture caused by the strong contraction of arm muscles or by violent pulling, which leads to the tearing of bone near the tendon."

"This condition is common in the joints. Although this type of fracture does not cause severe pain, it can affect daily arm movement... Her elbow has already shown obvious inversion. I only discovered this because I noticed the abnormality in her arm."

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned. "Then wouldn't she be...?"

"It's too early to say anything now."

Fujino interrupted, "It's also possible that he fell while exercising; we can't be sure yet."

A short while later, Takagi Wataru arrived at the scene. He glanced at the little girl sitting in Fujino's car, then asked Fujino, "Detective Fujino, is this the little girl you were talking about?"

"That's right."

Fujino handed the blood-stained backpack to Takagi Wataru. "We just found a bloody handprint on that child's backpack."

"Judging from the amount of bleeding, this blood-stained backpack indicates that the victim suffered very serious injuries, and it is very likely that..."

Takagi Wataru took the backpack and then asked, "Is there anything that can prove the child's identity?"

"Not at the moment."

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked over and shook her head. "She's too young. She can't even speak clearly. She doesn't remember her home address, and she can't even say her own name clearly."

Takagi Wataru confusion, "May I ask who you are?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka introduced herself, "Hiratsuka Shizuka, the advisor at Teitan High School."

"Fujino- kun's teacher?"

Takagi Wataru nodded knowingly, then frowned and said, "However, since she doesn't have anything to prove her identity and can't state her name, finding her family won't be easy..."

"However, it's not that there's no way to break through, but it would require a lot of police resources to investigate."

Fujino paused for a moment, then continued, "Her arm was previously avulsed. If we send police officers to search nearby hospitals, we should be able to find some clues."

Takagi Wataru immediately and nodded heavily.

Although they weren't good at solving cases, thanks to the advantage of the patrol officers' widespread presence, Takagi quickly got the results he needed.

Xiao Yi did receive treatment at a nearby hospital, but the name and home address she used were fake.

Despite this, they still learned the child's home address and real name, Tominaga Yuzuka, from a nurse.

It was afternoon.

After getting the address, Fujino Hiratsuka Shizuka to the Tominaga house.

Fujino stood at the doorway, looking at the house in front of him.

The Tominaga family's house is a single-story wooden house with white paint on the walls. This type of house is usually rented out at low prices, so the Tominaga family's financial situation doesn't seem to be very good.

"I'm back!"

Tominaga Yuzuka shouted energetically as she opened the door.

Fujino followed.

What comes into view are trash bags carelessly tossed in the hallway from the entrance. The room is filthy beyond description.

However, aside from the smell of garbage, a pungent odor was detected in the room by the keen senses.

Realizing what was happening, he immediately placed his hands on the girl's shoulders to stop her from going any further.

That smell was one of the smells he hated the most.

It smells like fresh blood...

"What happened to Fujino?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked over and asked in surprise.

"Take this child to the next room first... She's still young, don't let her go in."

Without turning his head, Fujino gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a serious instruction, then took out shoe covers from his pocket and put them on.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared blankly at Fujino's serious expression.

With her keen perception, she immediately realized why Fujino was acting this way.

She lowered her head and, with Tominaga Yuzuka, went to the room next door to wait.

Following the smell, Fujino walked through the garbage-filled corridor and arrived at the even dirtier kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, garbage bags were strewn everywhere, and in front of the kitchen cabinet window, a brown-haired woman lay slumped in a pool of blood.

The woman's white t-shirt was stained red with blood, and her body bore multiple horrifying knife wounds.

Fujino crouched down and touched the woman's skin, feeling a chilling coldness wash over him.

"Is he already dead?"

Fujino murmured something, then looked up and glanced around.

Beside the woman's body was a green stool with a frog pattern, and on the stool were a pair of small, bloody footprints.

This woman must be the little girl's mother...

"Did you send her away before you died?"

Fujino's expression gradually turned cold.

He took a deep breath, the stench of blood rushing straight to his brainstem.

He then took out white gloves from his pocket, put them on, and began to examine the woman's body.

The woman had multiple wounds, so many of them fatal, that even Fujino couldn't determine which was the real cause of death. The cause of death was likely excessive blood loss from being pierced by a sharp weapon.

Fujino stood up and activated his Eagle Eye Vision.

The moment Eagle Eye Vision was activated, the surrounding world turned gray and white.

Detective Eagle Eye was also activated.

The woman's body began to appear in bright light, with footprints emerging around it.

Fujino keenly noticed a highlighted piece of evidence.

A baby bottle, still filled with milk, lay scattered to the side.

Suddenly, a wave of emotion surged through Fujino's mind.

If that's the case...

He quickly looked around and suddenly noticed a faint light beneath the woman.

"I see..."

Fujino pondered for a moment before turning over the woman's body, revealing a storage cabinet embedded in the floorboards.

Opening the locker door, a baby lay peacefully inside.

Fujino reached out and picked up the baby.

But soon, he noticed something was wrong again.

Judging from the woman's time of death, she had been dead for at least ten hours.

In other words, the child had been in the locker for more than ten hours.

The air inside the locker is not circulating.

Moreover, the temperature will gradually increase as oxygen is consumed.

Based on the symptoms he is currently exhibiting, it appears to be heatstroke.

With his Eagle Eye Vision, he could see that the light representing life in the child was gradually dimming.

Fujino laid the baby flat on the floor and began resuscitation efforts.

Despite using all available first aid measures and even triggering the buffs of Angel in White, the light still couldn't be stopped from gradually dimming.

"Hateful..."

Fujino glanced at the baby's face, which had turned bright red, and cursed under his breath.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

He then took out a glass bottle containing oral liquid from his Pocket Dimension.

Shen Nong Oral Liquid: An oral liquid made from traditional Chinese herbs. It has a slightly bitter taste, but there's nothing strange about it; it's truly made entirely of traditional Chinese herbs. It's a disposable product that can quickly heal the user's injuries, with the recovery speed depending on the severity of the injury.

"Hopefully it will work..."

Fujino gritted his teeth, broke the oral liquid in half, and poured it into the baby's mouth.

Fujino only breathed a sigh of relief when the crying started.

"Fujino, what exactly is going on..."

Takagi arrived at that moment, looked at the scene in the kitchen, and asked Fujino in surprise.

"A murder has occurred here..."

Fujino picked up the baby from the ground and handed him to Takagi Wataru: "Take him to the hospital quickly."

Takagi Wataru immediately realized what was happening, took the baby, and quickly ran towards the door.

Fujino, on the other hand, remained where he was, his eyes narrowed as he activated Eagle Eye Vision and continued to gather evidence.

Inside the kitchen, Fujino examined the gleaming footprints on the floor and began to use his Eagle Eye Vision, along with his own reasoning abilities, to reconstruct the scene of the case.

The small footprints extended from the small window into the house, and from the kitchen into a room in the hallway.

Fujino pushed open the door to a small bedroom, where an unfolded quilt lay in the middle.

The window was a small one. Fujino went forward and tried to open it, but he couldn't open it halfway.

This type of sliding window can only be pulled halfway...

The tiny footprints left the bedroom, then returned to the bedroom, and followed the slightly larger footprints to the kitchen.

The slightly larger footprints began in another room.

Fujino pushed open the door and saw a somewhat messy Japanese-style room, but the crib was exceptionally tidy.

The quilts in the Japanese-style room were also not folded properly, and next to the futon on the floor in the Japanese-style room, there was an open can of milk powder.

The footprints started from the floor mat and extended towards the corridor outside the door, all the way to the door.

A blood-stained handkerchief lay scattered next to the shoe cabinet by the door.

Another pair of footprints appeared in front of the door, extending messily towards the kitchen.

The size of this pair of footprints does not match that of the other pair of footprints, so they should be the ones left by the murderer.

The hooks and chains inside the door were damaged, but the door lock structure was not damaged, suggesting that it was an inside job.

Fujino returned to the kitchen and stared at the woman's body, having already reconstructed the scene of the crime.

Late at night, while she was breastfeeding her baby, her acquaintance, who was also the murderer, came to the door and knocked.

She opened the door to check, and through the crack in the door, the assailant slashed her with a knife. The wound on her hand was left from that instinctive defensive action.

After being slashed, she instinctively used a handkerchief next to the shoe cabinet to stop the bleeding, but immediately she realized that she needed to take the two children and escape from there.

She first went over to comfort Xiao Yi and told her to go back and get her backpack, while she went back to the Japanese-style room and took the baby away.

Then the murderer broke in.

In desperation, the women were forced into the kitchen and planned to escape through the kitchen window.

However, the only exit from the kitchen was that small window that could be pushed open halfway.

These windows are only for ventilation and lighting, and only a small figure like Xiao Yi can climb out of them.

The so-called special way of going out, or jumping out, is to climb out of the window. Because she couldn't explain it clearly, she referred to the baby as tiny feet, a homonym in Japanese.

The Convenience Store with the red roof should be the place we need to go.

The handprints on the Panda Backpack must have been left around that time.

But just as she was seeing Xiao Yi off and trying to find a way to escape, the murderer caught up with her.

In a moment of panic, she hid her child in a cabinet under the floorboards, while she herself held tightly to the cabinet lid...

"Hey, who are you?!"

Just then, a man's voice came from behind. Fujino turned around and saw a blond man with a bare upper body, wearing shorts, carrying a bloodstained knife, and with dried bloodstains still on his body. He had appeared behind him at some point.

"Hey, where are you?! What are you doing in someone else's house?!"

The man roared, his eyes glazed over, bloodshot and drool dripping from his mouth.

"You must be the one who killed her, right?"

Fujino's expression gradually turned cold and stern.

"Shut up... Get out of my way! I want to catch butterflies!"

The man seemed to have lost his mind, babbling incoherently as he brandished his knife and charged towards Fujino...
