The blow up problem of the semilinear scale-invariant damping wave equation with critical Strauss type exponent is investigated. The life span is shown to be: $T(varepsilon)leq Cexp(varepsilon^{-2p(p-1)})$ when $p=p_S(n+mu)$ for $0<mu<frac{n^2+n+2}{n+2}$. This result completes our previous study cite{Tu-Lin} on the sub-Strauss type exponent $p<p_S(n+mu)$. Our novelty is to construct the suitable test function from the modified Bessel function. This approach might be also applied to the other type damping wave equations.
