Chapter 31: Kang Do-hwan's search ability max
After Detective Hong Jin-ho announced that Lee Jae-gi disappeared at 0:20 a.m., everyone began to describe their alibis.

The first person to give his alibi was Zhang Shengshu, played by Zhang Dongmin.

He said that he had packed his luggage, taken a shower and went to bed at 0:10 and did not leave the room.

The second speaker was Zhang Badao, played by Zhang Zhen, who said that he had been alone in the room since sharp midnight.

The reason he couldn't fall asleep was that he was angry, because his wife Park Yaorao had disappeared and didn't answer his phone calls.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Park Ji-yoon.

Park Ji-yoon felt very aggrieved when she was suspected. She glanced at Zhang Zhen timidly and explained:

"Ani, that's not the case. When I woke up, I found you were not around and I felt very depressed, so I went for a walk in the mountains at 23:30 p.m. to relieve my mood. Who knew that I would get lost while walking, and it suddenly started to rain heavily. I was very scared, but later a handsome young man saved me, hehe!"

The most soulful part is the secret joy at the end. Jiang Zhaohuan, who was tickled by the joke, quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Zhen, who played the husband, immediately stood up from his seat and said unhappily:

"Who is it? Who is the handsome young man?"

"It's the person who brought me here just now."

Everyone realized that he was talking about the detective's assistant and almost thought he was talking about Jiang Chunzhen.

When it was Kang Do-hwan's turn to speak, he still maintained his character and hugged a pink pillow with a 2D beautiful girl printed on it.

After a brief recollection, he entered his role and said sincerely:
"I'm staying in the dormitory, but my Tangtang wants to go back..."

"Wait, what is Tangtang?" Hong Zhenhao pointed to the pillow in Jiang Zhaohuan's arms and asked, "Could it be this? Is this Tangtang?"

Jiang Zhaohuan tried hard not to laugh, and could only think of some sad things in his mind:

"Yes, in order to get home quickly, I had to go back before the last bus left. But it suddenly rained heavily, so when I was hesitating whether to go up the mountain or down the mountain, someone came to find me."

But just saying these words made his ears start to burn.

So why did I draw such a weird character? As an avid 2D otaku, it really feels a bit "shameful".

Finally, Hani concluded the description of the timeline. Since no one's alibi could be confirmed, the scope of suspects could not be narrowed down in the first stage. This was a normal process.

After Kang Do-hwan was assigned to a group with Hani, regardless of whether he was the murderer or an ordinary person, he would go to the suspected crime scene to check as soon as possible.

So he went straight to the point - Room 201, Building B, Lee Jae-gi's dormitory.

In order to maintain his persona during this period, he simply opened his hunting backpack halfway and forced the pillow in two-thirds of the way.

After successfully freeing up his hands, he walked towards Room 201, Building B, holding the camera.

After entering the room, he first took a rough look at the scene, then came to the windowsill, and sure enough, he found bloodstains on the window sill.

Moreover, only the left half of the curtain in the room was there, while the right half was gone.

It is possible that the murderer used it to wrap Lee Jae-ki to prevent blood from dripping when the body was moved.

Jiang Zhaohuan was not in a hurry to take pictures, but was thinking that if Li Zaiji had been killed, it would be impossible for the bleeding to be only in this place.

Therefore, in order to determine whether the first crime scene was the bedroom, we must find the second bloodstain.

He looked down and noticed the checkered carpet on the floor. He reached out and lifted it up, and found that there was a large amount of accumulated blood on the ground beneath the carpet, which had become a pool of blood.

Judging from the amount of bleeding, the chance of survival is zero.

So this time, we not only have to catch the murderer, but also find a way to find the body of the victim Lee Jae-ki who was hidden by the murderer.

Jiang Zhaohuan held his chin and thought for a while, then took a photo of the bloodstains on the floor.

Just as he was trying to find the murder weapon, he suddenly noticed a deer antler on the desk in the victim's room.

The point is not that the antler is sharp, but that it is broken.

So this is the murder weapon?
Jiang Zhaohuan simulated the murderer's scene in his mind, hiding behind the door with deer horns in hand.

When Lee Jae-gi turned his back to him, he suddenly stabbed him in the back and pushed him to the window, then controlled him with one hand and stabbed him again with the other.

This is indeed consistent with the photo in Inspector Hong's hand, and the guess is likely correct. Jiang Zhaohuan continued to walk around the room and found a note written by Badao to Li Zaiji next to the alarm clock.

After reading the above content, he ruled out Zhang Badao as a suspect.

Because the content on the note was an appointment with the victim to meet behind the villa, this note was written by Zhang Badao himself.

From what Pu Yaoyan said when she was sorting out the timeline, it can be seen that Zhang Badao did go to the place on the note to keep the appointment, so he temporarily ruled out Zhang Badao as a suspicion in his mind.

If he was the murderer, he could have done it when the meeting was agreed upon.

He would not run back to the room, so his suspicion is the smallest at the moment.

Jiang Zhaohuan did not stay in the victim's room any longer. He walked to the lobby of the villa and found the check-in form at the front desk.

After reading the above content, he turned and walked towards the bulletin board.

There was one piece of information that was enough to catch his eye.

Ha lonely, 0 points.

It was a bit strange that the only professional hunter present scored 0 points in four days of hunting.

The reason she came here was probably not for the 2000 million bonus, nor for the hunting experience, but for another purpose.

After reading all the content on the bulletin board, he walked directly to Ha's lonely room at No. 101, Building A.

When he entered the door, Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but frown.

This room is too messy.

If he hadn't been in the same group with Hani and knew that she wouldn't have the time to check her room, he would have almost believed that someone had searched her room in advance.

Jiang Zhaohuan squatted on the ground and looked at the backpack covered with mud. After opening it with some disgust, he found a sharp axe and a used folding military shovel inside.

There is nothing special other than that.

He opened the bedside table again, and after seeing the contents of the album, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at Hani who was searching the hall in the distance and asked in a louder voice:
"Ha Gu Du, you have even caught a lion before, why did you get 0 points in this hunting competition?"

"Alas, even an experienced hunter can fail sometimes~"

Hani smiled awkwardly and did not answer the question directly.

She continued to search the hall and ignored Jiang Zhaohuan.

Jiang Zhaohuan did not want to embarrass himself. After searching Ha's lonely room for a while, he turned and walked towards the unfamiliar room 107 in Building A.

After successfully finding several useful clues, it was determined that there were two minutes of search time remaining.

He hesitated for a moment whether to go to the warehouse or Mount Andei, and finally ran towards Mount Andei.

Since many people's military shovels showed signs of having been used, he wanted to see if there was anything buried there.

Jiang Zhaohuan kicked the pit a few times and found something hard inside.

After carefully peeling off the surface, it turned out to be a locked abandoned well. You need a key to open it.

Could it be that the murderer hid the victim's body in here?

That shouldn't be the case. If that were the case, we could solve the case by finding the key.

What's hidden in that abandoned well?

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't have time to look for the key. After taking the photos hurriedly, he left the scene obediently.

Unlike those old-timers, he did not deliberately slow down his pace and try to find clues on the way back.
