Chapter 55: Search for the Body
"Don't think that if you catch me, you can judge me at will, if I wasn't negligent for a while, you wouldn't even be able to file a case, do you think you're very smart. The police in Chiba, Hiroshima, Osaka, and all of Tokyo were all turned around by me......"
Yuhiko Watase, who was degraded to the extreme by Lin Xiuyi, could no longer stand this arrogant guy's contempt for him, he suddenly broke free from the shackles of the police behind him, and grabbed Lin Xiuyi's collar at once, but was immediately pulled away by the police behind him.
Regarding Yuhiko Watase's sudden outburst, Lin Xiuyi always put on an expression of "you can't help me". He ignored the roaring Watase Yuhiko, stepped back step by step, and when he was about to go out, Lin Xiuyi finally left a word for Watase Yuhiko.
"You mentioned Osaka, Chiba, and Hiroshima before, but I never mentioned these places, and I can understand that you have already admitted to committing similar crimes in these areas! A fool is a fool......
Lin Xiuyi left the transfer room with disdain, although he didn't ask about the whereabouts of the body from Yuhiko Watase now, he had already figured out the character traits of this guy. Cautious and thoughtful, but also hoping to earn the respect and attention of others. Such a person would not risk carrying a corpse for a long distance, because he did not have the guts, and this would help Lin Shuichi to demarcate the scope of Watase Yuhiko's disposal of the corpse.
"Immediately notify the police headquarters in the relevant area and tell them that Yuhiko Watase has indirectly admitted to committing murder in their jurisdiction!"
Lin Xiuyi said as he casually handed over the documents in his hand to Miki. Miki nodded obediently, she knew in her heart that Lin Shuichi did not intend to meddle in the cases of the Osaka Prefectural Police, Chiba Prefectural Police, and Hiroshima Prefectural Police, but if the prisoner indirectly admitted the fact that he had killed someone, even if there was no body, the police headquarters in the above-mentioned areas could file a case against the missing victim with the murder incident as a predetermined crime, thus clearing the obstacles for the police in the two places to file a case.
"The police department, the body and the crime scene have not yet been found, and I am afraid that the District Attorney's Office will not accept our proposal to prosecute Yuhiko Watase on the charge of murder......"
Miki reminded Lin Xiuyi worriedly, in fact, even if she didn't say it, Lin Xiuyi clearly knew that indirect testimony was only helpful for filing a case, and this kind of ambiguous testimony in court would not have much effect on the final verdict. It would take considerable courage for the judge to convict the defendant of murder in the absence of a corpse, because murder is a punishment for a person's mistake by death, and there is no room for any ambiguity.
"Don't worry, Miki, I've seen through this guy! He's a man who can't take risks by nature, how brave do you think he is to transport the body outside of Tokyo? Isn't he afraid of being noticed on the way? So, I conclude that the real place to dump the body should be not far from Asakusa Park, the Asakusa area is a bustling tourist area, and how many places can meet the ideal conditions for throwing corpses of Yuhiko Watase. Also, remember when the victim was eaten on the arm by a rodent?"
Lin Xiuyi suddenly stopped his steps and turned around to prompt Miki.
"So we're going to find a place with rats, right, police department?"
Miki followed the train of thought proposed by Lin Xiuyi, and quickly understood what Lin Xiuyi wanted to express.
"Inform the garrison department to send out surface troops, we are going to conduct an underwater search of the Sumida River near Asakusa Park, although I can't be 100% sure, but I think this should be the place where the body was dumped!"
"Hey!"
Miki gave Lin Xiuyi a salute excitedly, and then ran in the direction of the garrison with confidence. Lin Xiuyi showed a relieved smile when he saw Miki's back. He saw that there was no one around, then found a secluded place, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Kuwajima Police Department!
……
Half an hour later, on the Sumida River east of Asakusa Park, ships from the Metropolitan Police Department shuttled back and forth between Kuramae and Asakusa. Police have cordoned off this section of the river and sent divers to conduct an underwater search. On the banks of the river on both sides, in addition to the onlookers, the colleagues of the forensic class and the search class were all looking forward to it.
Underwater search is such a thing as a trained professional, and the Search Course I and Forensic Course do not have the ability to conduct underwater searches. So now, Lin Xiuyi can't do anything but wait.
"Kuwajima-senpai is here!"
"Kuwajima-senpai!"
"Kuwajima-senpai!"
……
With the call behind him, the colleagues of the search class who gathered on the riverbank bowed to the seniors of Kuwajima who were present.
It took a lot of trouble for Kuwajima seniors to be able to enter the scene, and the officers of the Asakusa Police Station who were waiting on the periphery to maintain order did not know Kuwajima, and Kuwajima was now forced to resign from the Metropolitan Police Department and become an ordinary person, in this case, Kuwajima seniors were naturally not allowed to enter the area within the blockade line. If it weren't for the people who searched the first lesson and recognized Kuwajima's seniors, Lin Xiuyi's hard work would probably have been disappointed due to a misunderstanding.
The matter of Kuwajima-senpai has spread in the search lesson, and everyone is feeling sorry for Kuwajima-senpai's fate. As a police officer, I don't think there was anything wrong with Kuwajima's predecessor's choice at the beginning, and it is a choice that almost every police officer makes to prioritize urgent cases according to the degree of possible harm. However, the Kuwashima Police Department was unlucky, and the case he gave up was eventually confirmed to be a homicide, and Kuwajima's seniors also regretfully left the Metropolitan Police Department because of this incident.
Lin Xiu heard the noise behind him, and hurriedly turned around and walked in the direction of Sang Dao's senior, and bowed deeply to the other party from a distance.
"Kuwajima-senpai, I'm sorry to have you come all the way!"
"Eh, Forest Police Department!"
Sang Dao saw Lin Xiuyi saluting him, and hurriedly stood up to return the salute, but when he raised his head, he still couldn't help but look at the search armband with yellow letters on a red background on Lin Xiuyi's right arm, and his eyes showed an expression of envy and loss.
"Found it, it's down there!"
Just when Lin Xiuyi and Sang Dao didn't know how to break the embarrassment, a colleague waiting on the shore suddenly shouted excitedly. The eyes of everyone present were immediately attracted by the situation on the water.
Lin Xiuyi and Kuwajima hurriedly ran towards the river, they soon came to the river, and saw with their own eyes that the policeman on the boat took a bag of things from the diver's hand, and then the diver returned to the water again.
Lin Xiuyi's hanging heart finally settled down, he glanced at the senior Kuwadao next to him, but saw that the senior Kuwadao was holding on to the railing, the muscles on his face couldn't help trembling, and his body slowly slipped down, until his knees fell to the ground, and choked tears fell on the bluestone slab......
