Chapter 48: Arrest Professor Shinki
As the progress bar on the screen slowly moved to 100% position, the system quickly responded to the results of this comparison. When the result of the feedback appears on the screen. Everyone was very puzzled by the result. The results of facial recognition showed that Shinki Mansai, who had not been suspected by the police before, actually appeared in the area near the crime scene that night.
The system quickly outputs the footage related to the Shinki Mansai during the surveillance to the monitoring screen of the Cyber Security Countermeasures Division, because the images are arranged in chronological order. So Lin Xiuyi and the others quickly figured out the trajectory of Shinki Wanzhai's activities around the crime scene. And within the time frame of death given by the forensic doctor, the figure of Shinki Wanzhai did not appear on the screen of the surveillance.
"Miki?"
"Police, what instructions do you have?"
"We have to bring Shinki Wanzhai back for questioning as soon as possible, go now!"
Lin Xiuyi said decisively to Miki.
"But, the police department! There were thousands of people who showed up at the scene of the crime that night, and the only evidence we have now is that Shinki Mansai was present near the Imperial Palace Square during the time period when the crime occurred. And Shinki Mansai is also the new winner of the Akutagawa Award. In this case, will we forcibly arrest the other party, will it cause you any unnecessary trouble?"
Miki quietly pulled Lin Xiuyi aside, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with some concern. You know, Eiko Irie, who was just brought back, is a lawyer herself. Now Lin Xiuyi is going to forcibly arrest an influential writer and scholar. And only one of these two could be the murderer. This means that one of them must have been wrongfully arrested. If in the end, the one who was released from prison would challenge the Metropolitan Police Department. Lin Xiu couldn't eat anymore and left.
"Don't worry, if I'm right, Shinki Mansai should happily admit his guilt. ”
Seeing Lin Xiuyi's confident look, Miki, who was still worried, was also relieved. Out of trust in Lin Xiuyi, Miki believes that Lin Xiuyi will definitely handle this case safely.
Half an hour later, the three members of the Special Search Department once again left the store in the Metropolitan Police Department's official car and went to Musashino University in Nishitokyo City again. Because the distance between them was so far, everyone spent a lot of time on the road. However, this time, the target of the action is not only an elderly person who is over half a hundred years old, but also a scholar with a certain social influence. Therefore, Lin Xiu naturally didn't dare to lead the team to directly kill Musashino University. For the sake of insurance, Lin Xiuyi felt that this arrest would be enough to achieve his goal by relying only on the power of the special search department.
After a little over an hour's drive. Lin Xiuyi and the others finally felt the two-story building they had visited last time. After opening the car door, everyone stepped out of the car and stopped in front of Professor Shinki's laboratory.
"Ding Dong!"
Lin Xiuyi gently rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened from the inside just like last time.
"Didn't you come to the police officer the other day? Why, do you have something you want to ask the professor about?"
Lin Xiuyi didn't care about the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone. In fact, it is not uncommon for the police to frequently disturb witnesses and suspects. And this is one of the main reasons why most of the people involved in the case do not have a high opinion of the police. Many people who have had this experience think that their lives have been completely destroyed by the repeated visits of the police, but these people rarely notice that it is they who are being questioned again and again. Their testimonies will appear more or less different from the beginning.
"I'm sorry, but after such a short period of time, we have to disturb Professor Shinki of your school for the second time. Excuse me, is Professor Shinki here?"
"Yes, but the teacher's work has been very busy recently, and I'm worried that you are always like this, which will seriously interfere with the teacher's normal work!"
"Who's out there?"
Just when Professor Shinki's students were still arguing with Lin Xiuyi, Professor Shinki's voice suddenly came from the house again.
"Professor Shinki, I'm Lin Shuichi from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section. This time, I'm afraid we have some questions, and we want you to go back and discuss them with us!"
Lin Xiuyi stood in front of the door and explained his intention loudly. Immediately afterward, there were several more footsteps from behind the door. I saw Professor Shinki slowly push open the door of the research room. Then he stood opposite Lin Xiuyi with some anger.
"What's the problem you can't say here, you have to let me go back with you?" Professor Shinki asked Lin Xiuyi with some dissatisfaction.
"Ah...... Just now, we systematically sorted out the surveillance video collected at the scene of the crime. But you were found in it. This is such a coincidence that there is one more important thing to tell you. Eiko Irie voluntarily confessed to the police that she had killed Daichi Hamada. I want to ......"
"No...... How could Yongzi kill someone?"
"Eiko, so you know Eiko Irie!"
Lin Xiuyi could see it from Xinmu Wanzhai's eyes. His words just now had a great impact on Shinki. Lin Xiuyi could easily determine that Shinki Wanzhai was very concerned about Yongzi's situation.
"Alas...... Forget it, let's tell you the truth! The person who killed the land of Hamada was not Eiko Irie at all, but me."
"Teacher...... ...... you?" asked Professor Shinki's student in disbelief.
"I'll talk to you later when I have a chance. Right now...... I don't think there's any need to go around in circles with them anymore!"
After Professor Xinmu finished speaking, he immediately followed Lin Xiuyi and the others back to the car. When Urashima was about to take out the handcuffs and bring them to Professor Shinki, Hayashi Shuichi stopped Urashima's stupidity.
After everyone was in the car, Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, suddenly asked:
"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of asking, between you and Ms. Irie...... Is there a father-daughter relationship?"
"Oh...... You're right. Eiko Irie is indeed my daughter!"
Professor Shinki calmly admitted to Lin Xiuyi.
"Okay, I think I know the whole thing by now. And only one of you and your daughter is the real criminal. “
