Chapter 110: The Small Hotel Murder Incident (3)
'If the killer took the stairs, they would have run into me. Therefore, they did not take the stairs.'
'Instead, they went outside first and then scaled the wall to get back into their room. So...'
'Among the people present, the overweight nerd, who was the last to open his door, is highly suspicious.'
Upon realizing this.
The middle-aged police officer looked at the overweight nerd, noticing that while the hair on the very top of his head was dry, the rest of it was wet.
'This kind of situation usually means he tried to keep his hair from getting soaked in the rain by wearing a hat or wrapping a towel around his head, resulting in a dry crown while the rest of his hair got wet.'
'Furthermore, he isn't wearing pajamas. There are two possibilities for this. One, he isn't used to wearing them.'
'Two, if he is the killer, his clothes would definitely have gotten drenched in the heavy rain outside. But if he wore his pajamas over his clothes...'
A flash of inspiration struck the middle-aged police officer, but he did not rush to inspect the overweight nerd's room.
