Chapter 26: Door-to-door evidence
"You idiots, you caught the wrong person, I just wanted to come here to soak in the hot springs, I didn't know that this place had been sealed off by the police, you ......"
Yamazaki Kazukosuke looked at the police with disdain and said in a tone of helplessness.
"Boom!"
"Bastard, you still have a face to quibble, we caught you red-handed!"
The policeman in charge of the interrogation slapped the table angrily, stood up and pointed at Yamazaki Kazukisuke's nose and scolded.
"What, you want to hit me?" Yamazaki Ichikosuke saw that the police were angry, but he became more and more arrogant. I saw that Yamazaki Kazukosuke was about to stand up, and the two policemen standing behind him immediately pressed it back.
Kenji Yamaguchi, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, he picked up Yamazaki Kazukosuke from his chair and roared at him: "You bastard, you killed someone and printed other people's fingerprints on the murder weapon, you scumbag, if I let you go, I won't have the face to be a policeman anymore!"
After Kenji Yamaguchi finished speaking, he was about to fight with his fists. Seeing this, Lin Xiu quickly grabbed Yamaguchi's wrist and shook his head at him.
"Why, if you want to beat me, come on! Just let the media see how innocent people are beaten by the police!"
"Haha...... Hahaha!"
Kazukosuke Yamazaki laughed arrogantly.
"Didn't you think about why we knew you were coming to Umegakiya?"
Just when Yamazaki Kazukisuke was triumphant, Lin Shuichi suddenly asked.
"What are you talking about? How do I know where there will be a group of policemen, I said, I just came here to soak in the hot springs!" Yamazaki Kazukosuke said solemnly towards Hayashi Shuichi.
"Mr. Yamazaki, I remember when we met in Koshu Castle a few days ago, we talked together about the process of your mentor Professor Saito unearthing the Shingen Buried Gold in the first place, and I had questions about the time when you and your mentor unearthed the Shingen Buried Gold, and why the time when these small judgments were found was so close to the time when the Yamanashi Prefectural Police announced that the search had failed. ”
"Forgive me for my curiosity as a police officer, but after a conversation with you, a bold idea came to me, what if the small sentences that Professor Saito unearthed were actually stolen from the murder case in the secret room of the Ubutu Temple three years ago, no, a year ago, to be exact?"
It was with this suspicion in mind that we visited the hometown of the victim, Ayu, again, and it was there that we heard something even more suspicious. Ayu's best friend Miwa actually died around the same time as Ayu, and the time when the ashes were sent back to his hometown was after the Yamanashi Prefectural Police left Shimojo Village. ”
"Under normal circumstances, it is normal for people to wait 49 days after the death of a loved one before being buried, but if this time coincides so well with the time when the police left, it has to be doubted what the purpose behind this is. ”
Lin Xiuyi pointed out unhurriedly that Yamazaki Ichikosuke's self-righteous crime was actually full of loopholes, and although Yamazaki Ichikosuke's arrogance was suppressed, he still looked fearless. He looked at Lin Xiuyi and said angrily:
"Hey, that's so long-winded, you've said so much, but where is the evidence?"
Lin Xiu smiled, not minding Yamazaki Kazukisuke's attitude at all. He took out the small judgment from his body and put it in the evidence bag, and continued to press Yamazaki Kazukosuke.
"If it were an ordinary thief, it would normally be re-melted and poured to destroy the evidence. But if that is done, this precious little judgment is just an ordinary piece of gold, and if it is kept as it is, the value of the small judgment can be fully reflected. ”
"Therefore, we can boldly assume that if these small sentences were really snatched from the hands of the deceased Ayu, would there be Ayu's DNA left on them? ”
"Mr. Yamazaki, for people like you and Professor Saito, who truly love history, you are absolutely unwilling to thoroughly clean the stains on the surface of the small judgment, because they are also traces left by history. ”
"And when we learn that the murder weapon that killed Ayu is actually the fingerprints of the deceased Miyu, the truth is not far from us. ”
"That night ten years ago, what happened in the Buddhist hall of Futu Temple is probably like this!"
After the death of Ayu's grandmother, who was the only one who loved him, gave up his studies and came to the Uegakiya in Futu Village to become a waitress in order to avoid his relatives' arrangements for his marriage. At the same time, Miwa was also diagnosed with an incurable terminal illness. ”
The two girls who were tortured by fate became their only support, and Miyu, who was recuperating alone in a hospital in Tokyo, wanted to spend the rest of her life with her friend Ayu, so she begged Ayu to take her away. And Ayu came to Tokyo after getting the sponsorship of the proprietress Uragaki Juko, but was told that he was not Miyu's relative and had no right to pick him up, and was forced to have no choice but to sneak out of the hospital. ”
After returning to Ugaki Village, Ayu originally wanted to place Miyu in Umagakiya, but it was too close to Shimojo Village, and once Miyu moved into Uragakiya, it wouldn't be long before her family would come to her, so Ayu had to place Miyu in the unfinished Ugaki Temple. And it was there that Miwa finally ushered in the end of her life. ”
"On the night of Miyu's death, you, who had been tirelessly chasing Shingen to bury gold, came to Futu Temple, but saw the body of Miyu who had died. Maybe it was with you, or maybe it was some time after you entered the temple, Ayu, who had received a grant from Umagaki Juzi, came to the temple with a small payment given to her by the proprietress, a waiter, and a notebook recording the whereabouts of the treasure. I saw the body of Miyu, who had died. ”
"We don't know what happened next, but what we do know for sure is that you killed Ayu and seized the small sentence she brought, as well as a notebook that records the whereabouts of Shingen's buried gold. ”
……
"Hey, Forest Police Department, what nonsense are you talking about, it's a secret room, and there is no trace of me at the scene. Even if you want to wrong, you have to come up with defensible evidence!"
Yamazaki Kazukosuke said with some weakness.
"Evidence, didn't you personally deliver it to us? After all, the notebook is more valuable than the four golden judgments, because this notebook is the same notebook that sparked the treasure excavation boom in Koshu during the Meiji period!"
