Chapter 148: Simulated Scene

"The victim was the president of the factory, Mr. Hisashi Ishikura, who was 50 years old. Dozens of minutes later, our group came to the factory we had just passed, and inside the factory, a middle-aged uncle was lying in a pool of blood, with a dagger stuck in his back. The room was cluttered, and the safe had been pried open.

"It looks like murder for money. Dad looked around the room and said briefly to Officer Twilight.

"Well, at the moment we are also investigating the case of the robber homicide. Officer Twilight replied. "No one from the factory came to work today, and the owner, Mr. Ishikura, came to the company to confirm the finished product. Brother Takagi, let's talk about the deceased. ”

"Yes. The young policeman named Takagi gave a standard salute and then took out his police pamphlet and began to read it. "Judging from the stiffness of the deceased after his death, the time of the deceased's death was about an hour ago, and the cause of death was caused by the dagger inserted into the lungs from the back. However, the specific details will not be known until the results of the autopsy are available. ”

"An hour ago? wasn't that the time we happened to pass through here?" Mitsuhiko hurriedly accosted at the door, after listening to Officer Takagi's report.

"Yes, I remember that time too. Motota also confirmed. And I nodded at Officer Twilight.

"Hmm...... Is that really the case?, and did you see any suspicious characters at the time?" said Twilight to us earnestly.

"If that's the case...... We were bent on catching up with the driver. So I didn't pay attention to the other situations. Mitsuhiko was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm, hey, wait a minute, Mitsuhiko, don't you see if this person is the driver who caused the accident just now?" As soon as Mitsuhiko's words fell, Yuan Tai immediately made a new discovery, on a platform in the house, there happened to be a photo of the members of this company, and the driver who went to the police station to surrender happened to be on this photo.

"Nani, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, I remember his face very well. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but exude a hint of resentment. The people who have played me a few streets, of course I won't forget it so lightly.

"Do you think this murderer is this person?" said Yuan Taiyan.

"Isn't it? it's just a coincidence?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Of course, he was on the way to run away, how could he rob money and kill people here?" said Dad.

"Nope. Not necessarily. A flat voice reached everyone's ears. Looking towards the voice, I saw a pale gold squatting beside the corpse, carefully observing. "What if, I mean, that prisoner doesn't have the idea of robbing money, but just wants to kill?"

"Hmm, what are you talking about, little? Dad looked at me dissatisfied. "We're working on it. Don't chime in. ”

"Look, uncle. This man has duct tape on his mouth and hands, right?" I gestured to the prisoner's wrist and mouth.

"Hmm...... Indeed there is. Dad looked at it carefully and said. "But what's the matter? The robber was discovered by the president while stealing his belongings, and he tied him up. I didn't feel at ease and finally killed him. Is there anything about this?"

"Well...... I may not be able to tell, let's put on a show, Kojima-san, please come over for a while. ”

"Oh. "Motota didn't understand what I meant, but he walked over to me.

"Uncle Maori, Officer Twilight, now suppose I'm a robber and Kojima-san is the owner of this factory. So now let's reconstruct the scene and see if it will make any difference. With that, he walked out of the door of the room.

"Kojima-san, now I'm going to walk into the door of this room and start stealing, and then you're walking in, just think you've found me, and after my hand hits you, you'll be able to fall. ”

"Oh, good. ”

"So. I'm going to start stealing now, so I'm going to come in. With that, I walked over to the safe and crouched down, quickly. Motota walked in and shouted at me.

"Hey, what are you doing! Woo wow!" Yuan Tai had just said a few words, and I turned around and put one hand on his heart. Motota immediately fell.

"Judging from the scene just now, there should be no problem with our performance, right?"

"Well, it's a lot like a scene where a robber is found and kills the discoverer. Twilight nodded.

"So. If that were the case, the dagger should have been stuck in the front of the dead now, and how could it be in the back?" I began.

"Maybe the president was scared and wanted to escape, and then he was stabbed to death by a prisoner?" retorted my father.

"Well, it's really possible, so next, Kojima-san, just stand there with your back to me. After I tapped you on the back, you fell. ”

"Oh. ”

After getting a response from Motota, I started walking through the door. Slowly moved closer to Yuantai, and then reached out and touched Yuantai's back. Yuan Tai was also very cooperative, and fell down with a scream.

"Sa, if I were a prisoner, and I wanted to rob, I would have killed the boss from behind in this way, or as Uncle Maori said, stabbed the boss in the back when he escaped. But the point is that after that, I will definitely go to the safe immediately to find something of value and then escape the scene as fast as possible. Officer Twilight, you're a police officer, you must have been in a lot of cases like this before, right?"

"Huh? Truly. Twilight reacted, then replied.

"Then I would like to ask, is there any gangster who would do the kind of thing that wastes time by tying up the dead person with duct tape after killing a person, and then tearing off the tape after stealing the money himself?"

"This ...... Indeed, if it were a robber who sought money and killed for some purpose, he would never have done so. This set of movements will take at least five to ten minutes of wasted time. Twilight thought with her chin dragging her chin in mind.

"Sa...... Next. Tsuburaya-san, please come and help me. I picked up Motota, called Mitsuhiko again, whispered a few words in his ear, and walked out of the room again. Like Motota, Mitsuhiko also has his back to me. But here's the difference. I now have a roll of duct tape in my hand that I took from the table. He began to move closer to Mitsuhiko little by little, then grabbed his hands from behind and tied them up with duct tape.

"Hey, what are you doing, let me go, help, help...... Woooooooo Mitsuhiko sensed my threat and began to struggle desperately. But he's my opponent there. Within seconds I was taped to him.

"I'm sorry, Tsuburaya-san, I pushed a little harder. I smiled apologetically at Mitsuhiko and untied the tape tied to him.

"No, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's to solve the case. Mitsuhiko smiled at me and scratched the back of his head.

"But, Kaoru-chan, what are you doing here?" Officer Twilight was puzzled by my behavior.

"Well, just now we performed the appearance of tying the target directly with duct tape, but you also saw that normal people will struggle in such a situation, so now please look at Tsuburaya-san's wrist and mouth, and compare the traces of tape on the deceased's body. ”

"Hmm......" Twilight looked at Mitsuhiko's arm and compared it to the deceased, and it dawned on her. "The duct tape marks on the deceased are too neat!"

"That's right. That's what I doubted. If it was tape, why were the traces of tape on the deceased's body so smooth, and if he resisted, the traces on his body should be like Mitsuhiko's, because of the resistance and the traces were uneven. I smiled intently. "So the question is, how did the murderer get the tape so neatly?"

After listening to my question, the audience fell silent.

"That's right, just make the target incapacitated, then the problem arises again. How do you make the target lose the ability to resist without realizing it?"

"Hmm...... And you have to be an insider with a key to do it!" Dad said as he dragged his chin and thought for a moment.

"Hey~ Uncle is really worthy of being a detective, and he solved my doubts at once. "I hurriedly went up and sold cute.

"Of course. With my Maori Kogoro out of the horse, this kind of trivial thing is not worth mentioning at all~ Bahahaha. ”

"But...... What was the purpose of the prisoner tying up the deceased?" Officer Twilight continued to ask.

"Because of the time. I said it all the way. "As long as you tie up the victim and make him unafraid, you can kill him at any time you like!"

"Nani?!" Officer Twilight and Dad were shocked.

"Yes, the time of the deceased's death was just as we passed through here. Yuan Tai seemed to understand.

"It was on this street at the time. We lost the whereabouts of the driver who hit the man for about five minutes, and if we used those five minutes to kill someone, it would be enough!" Mitsuhiko also hurriedly helped.

"Stupid! How can you kill and rob in such a short period of time? "Dad yelled at the children when he was upset.

"That's why I said what if, if that prisoner didn't have the idea of robbing money, but just wanted to kill someone?" Everyone present immediately understood.

"What do you mean...... The scene here is all set up by the prisoners in advance? The prisoners asked you to come here just to ask you to be a witness to prove their innocence?"

"I think so, and I'm guessing the culprit is the one who hit Ayumi with his car. Because on the way we chased him, he had stopped the car many times to wait for us, and when we chased to the factory, the prisoner mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear in front of us a few minutes later, which was too obvious. I replied without any panic. "Although we don't have evidence yet, it is a fact that all the evidence of the crime points to the driver who caused the accident!"

"Hmm...... That's right. Dad dragged his chin again. "Wait, how do you know so many things, and you can even restore the technique?"

"Ah...... That one. I replied curtly. "Recently, a criminal investigation TV series has been airing on TV, and I also recently watched that the TV broadcast has a clip similar to today's case, so I said it and tried it. Hey, hey, hey. ”

"Huh? Is there a show on TV?"

"Because uncle, you only listen to horse racing on the radio, and of course you won't notice. "Again, I found an excuse.

"Hmm...... It seems that this is indeed the case. Forget it, no matter. "Dad thought about it and gave up the entanglement with me.

"Anyway, let's go to the police station to check first. Officer Twilight immediately confirmed. "Judging from the above situation, the perpetrator is indeed suspicious, and it just so happens that we just asked him to make a confession, so let's go back and ask together. (To be continued.) )xh118
