Jiang Xia pointed at the electric light in the living room. "All the lights in this house use the same pull-cord switch, including the one in the bedroom where the victim died. Pull the cord once, and the light turns off or on.
"Judging by the height at which the victim was suspended, the killer only needed to tie his hands behind his back with the light cord to restrict his movements.
"Once the victim ran out of strength and could no longer hold the rope between his teeth, his body fell. The drop would pull on the cord. And when the killer tied him up, he used a special knot—once the pull cord tightened, the knot around his wrists would naturally come undone. Then the cord would return to its original state, while the victim's hands would hang at his sides, ultimately creating the scene Miss Jodie saw."
The pen in Jodie's hand snapped with a click. "..." Everyone present had seen that scene, so why single her out? Targeting her—this was blatant targeting! Had this guy already discovered her true identity?
No, to be precise, he's been targeting me ever since I showed up at the Game Arcade and first got acquainted with Jiang Xia and the others, Jodie muttered to herself. Did I get exposed far earlier than I thought? Did he just find me, the foreign teacher, interesting and casually test me?
Jodie's thoughts churned, but no one seemed to care about her feelings. Other than "Dr. Araide," who glanced her way and gave her an inscrutable smile, everyone was watching "Uzo" solve the case.
...*I wonder what this guy's real name is. I'll try to extract some information later. Even if I can't get his real name, he should at least have an alias he
