There was a murder in the tea house, and all the people who were inside at the time were suspects, and the police vehicles had limited manpower, so they had to take everyone to the street, stop several taxis, and escort them to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the edge of the Kamogawa River.

They will be questioned by the police over there.

Lin Hai was left alone by Masao Ota.

Lin Hai asked him: "If you treat it differently like this, what will others think when they see it?"

"Isn't that the same going for that?"

Masao Ota yelled at the Toyota car that was slowly leaving.

Koshiro Matsumoto deliberately stayed until the end and drove to the hotel on his own, so as to avoid onlookers equating him with the "suspect".

That's the benefit of his identity, and the police are reluctant to take him to the police station until the case is clarified - if he is found to be the real murderer, it would be fine, otherwise, the police spokesman would not be able to tell him with eight mouths.

Whether it is "splashing dirty water" or "exonerating crimes", the police do not want to hear and see.

Of course, it was impossible for Ota Masao to really let Koshiro Matsumoto leave by himself, so he arranged for Rika Nomi to accompany him, called accompaniment, but it was actually an escort.

There are also plans to branch out subordinates who are not open.

Ota Masao retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, now you don't have to hide it, can you tell me what you really think?"

"You're mistaken. Lin Hai said helplessly: "I don't even know who the deceased is, let alone what the scene is like." ”

"That's ......"

Ota Masao scratched his head in embarrassment, he thought that Lin Hai didn't say it just now because he had scruples, but now he realized that he had made a mistake.

Ota Masao called out to a police officer, asked for a pair of gloves, handed them to Lin Hai, and said, "Anyway, let's go see the scene." ”

……

A cordon has been set up in front of the teahouse where the accident occurred, and the two police officers are meticulously guarding the door, turning a blind eye to the curious gaze of passers-by.

Ota Masao said hello and walked into the teahouse with Lin Hai.

"I'm curious, how did you get here so quickly?"

Ota Masao put the shoes he had taken off and said, "My colleague in Kyoto invited us to eat next to us, and I happened to hear someone screaming here, saying that that woman's lung capacity is really large. ”

Lin Hai thought about it for a moment, that scream was indeed called a long breath, and the voice was not Kyoko and Hikatsu, and he didn't know which of the other women it was.

After thinking about it, there was no answer, so Lin Hai left it behind.

Lin Hai asked someone for shoe covers before entering the door, and he was sitting on the ground and putting them on his feet.

Ota Masao turned around and asked strangely, "Are you affected by the visible crime?" ”

"You're mistaken. Lin Hai said: "I just don't want anyone to suddenly come out and slash me, at least run faster with shoes on." ”

"Again?"

"yes. ”

Lin Hai told Masao Ota about the attack.

"Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?"

Ota asked, then cheekily returned to the door and put his shoes back on.

……

Knowing that Lin Hai had been attacked, Masao Ota instinctively linked the "assassin" to the murderer and decided to go to the tearoom where Lin Hai was attacked first.

When I arrived, I found a young police officer taking pictures of the scene.

"Be vigilant. ”

The young officer nodded to Daejeon and said, "The evidence collection here has been completed, and no clues have been found." ”

"You're sharp enough!"

Da Tian praised, pointed at Lin Hai and said, "Who is he and you don't need me to introduce him, right?"

"You're the genius detective who solved two cases in a row in Tokyo?"

The young police officer took the initiative to show favor to Lin Hai: "The first time we met, I was Takashi Uesugi from the Kyoto Prefectural Police Department. ”

"Please take care of us when we meet for the first time. ”

Lin Hai shook hands with the other party and complimented: "The Uesugi Police Department is young and promising, and the future is destined to be limitless. ”

Daejeon Detective Shizheng laughed and said, "He's just a showman......

Takashi Uesugi explained with a wry smile that it turned out that he was not an ordinary police officer, but a member of the "Police Music Team".

Founded in 1949 and part of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, the Kyoto Prefectural Police Music Corps is part of the "welfare department" within the police station.

No wonder Masao Ota laughs so exaggeratedly, where is the future limitless, it is clearly "no bright future".

However, it's okay for me to take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, and it's too much for outsiders to take the initiative to debunk it.

After Ota Masao laughed, he patted Uesugi Takashi on the shoulder and cheered up: "Cheer up, I met your father before I came, and he was looking forward to you making a comeback!"

"Yes!"

Ota Masao then explained to Lin Hai: "This kid suffered an unwarranted disaster last year, and his own ability is still very good......"

Takashi Uesugi was reluctant to mention the reason, and took the initiative to divert the topic: "Lin Jun, can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Hai walked to the place where he was sitting in front of him, and even talked and gestured, telling the situation of the attack at that time.

Masao Ota and Takashi Uesugi were dumbfounded.

Ota Masao took the teacup in his hand, looked at the crack at the bottom of the cup, raised his hand and gestured a few times, shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would definitely not survive." ”

"Lin Jun's ability to stay in danger is really admirable. ”

Takashi Uesugi nodded approvingly, asked for a teacup and took a picture.

"Didn't notice before?" asked Masao Ota.

"I'm so sorry!"

Takashi Uesugi hurriedly apologized. Although the teacup could not be used as key evidence, it was crucial to restore the scene, and he did not notice the crack at the bottom of the cup, which can be said to be a serious work error.

Lin Hai asked, "Did you see the criminal who asked you to come over?"

"Yes. ”

Then it is not surprising.

With the character of Rika in sight, I definitely won't explain it in detail, and I guess when Uesugi Takashi came over, he thought it was just an ordinary brawl.

……

The tea room was small and there were no clues to dig up, and the trio quickly left to head to the place where the body was found.

The body was found in the women's locker room.

When Lin Hai arrived, the corpse had already been removed, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Lin Hai noticed that one of the rows of lockers against the wall was open, and there was a pool of blood on the ground below the closet.

"The body was hidden in a locker?"

Lin Hai's question was answered in the affirmative.

Lin Hai walked to a wardrobe next to him, opened it and took a look, it was no different from the wardrobe in the men's locker room.

Above the wardrobe is a fixed crossbar for hanging clothes, with two transverse partitions from top to bottom, which divide the entire wardrobe into three equal pieces.

The partition is not nailed and can be easily pulled out of the wooden trough.

Daejeon Police has already explained the situation to the police officers at the scene, and the police officer took the initiative to say, "Every locker is like this. ”

Lin Hai nodded and said, "It's enough to hide the corpse." ”

Ota Masao followed: "Don't talk about hiding corpses, it's enough to hide the living." ”

After saying a word, several men present all showed weird smiles.

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, reacted to what he was referring to, smiled helplessly, did not answer, and continued to ask, "How tall is the deceased?"

"Ten meters fifty-eight. ”

"Women?"

"Man. ”

"Men?"

Lin Hai was surprised.

It is not uncommon for a man's body to be hidden in the women's locker room.

"I guess I think women have little strength. ”

The police officer explained the reason to Lin Hai: "Although this kind of cabinet has a lock, it is simple, because it is relatively old, so as long as you force it, you can open it......"

"Who was the first to find the body?"

"It looks like a girl named Kyoko Fukada, and that girl looks like an artist, right?"

When the police officer said this, he heard Masao Ota coughing, and quickly cut back to the topic: "After that, her friends rushed over and immediately called the police after finding the body." ”

"Hmm......"

Lin Hai looked at the lock of the locker, it is a very common simple door lock in the locker room of the shopping mall, in order to prevent the key from being lost and not being opened, the deadbolt is very loose, as long as you use more force, you can indeed pull it open directly.

Thinking about Kyoko's physique, it's really not a hard task.

Masao Ota asked another key question.

"Has the man been identified?"

"When I learned about the situation from the witnesses just now, I found out that the deceased's name was Hirai Genji, the director of the Elite Women's High School, Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, unmarried, ......"

"You wait. Ota interrupted him and asked, "You mean that the eyewitnesses knew the deceased?"

"Yes. The officer replied: "Among the witnesses at that time, there were not only the deceased's blind dates, but also two of his students, in addition to ......."

"Besides?"

"You're from Tokyo, so you may not know it, but the deceased had a close relationship with many Kabuki actors......," the officer said, lowering his voice, "and I've heard that he seems to have a friendship with Watanabe......

"Hiss......"

Masao Ota and Lin Hai couldn't help but gasp.

Who is Yoshinori Watanabe?

Yoshiyoshi Watanabe is the fifth generation of the "Sugiguchi Group" and the current team leader.

As for what the Sugiguchi gumi is, for reasons that everyone understands, there is no water here.

As the top pillar organization of Yakuza, the Sugiguchi Group has always been a headache for the Japanese police, if Hirai Genji's death is related to the Sugiguchi Group, Lin Hai feels that for the sake of his own life, it is better not to mix indiscriminately.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with them. ”

Ota Masao calmed down and shook his head: "Those people don't hide their heads and tails when they do things, not to mention that this is just a rumor." ”

As a mid-level police officer, Masao Ota knows a lot of things that outsiders don't know.

Just last year, the police took advantage of the civil unrest in the Sugiguchi Group to launch a crackdown campaign codenamed "New Top Operation".

The elimination of a tricky "suspect" may seem to be a cause for joy, but it does nothing to solve the case.

Ota Masao said to himself: "I can only hope for the results of the inquiry, I don't know if I can see the criminal side to find a breakthrough......
