Chapter 32: The Evidence Is Conclusive
Lin Xiuyi and his subordinates spent one night reviewing the files of all 26 theft cases again. A special common denominator was finally discovered: all the owners of the stolen homes were long-term overseas residents who spent only a few months or even a few days a year in the country. This had to attract Lin Xiuyi's attention. If there were only one or two cases, it could be said that Ishihara was lucky, but with so many cases all like this, Lin Xiuyi would naturally suspect that Ishihara actually knew the details of the owner. It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiuyi focused his attention on the property company responsible for managing these houses.
After Lin Xiuyi keenly discovered new clues, those seniors in the sixth headquarters no longer felt that Lin Xiuyi was messing around. Although Ishihara has admitted that he committed this series of thefts, the stolen money has not been brought to justice, and if conditions permit, how can the Sixth Headquarters let Ishihara's accomplices go unpunished. As a result, the entire Sixth Headquarters conducted a targeted search of the 10 property management companies behind the 26 thefts.
For the police, although the criminal investigation work is based on evidence, it still depends on the criminal police who handle the case to give full play to their imagination and constantly try different search ideas. Of course, because it is a hypothesis, it is inevitable that there will be times when they will take the wrong path, and Lin Shuichi found out from Ishihara and Nakamura's resumes that the two did not have the ability to complete 26 successful burglary cases, so he assumed that there was a more experienced member behind the two people who was directing their actions. However, this assumption became more and more untenable as the case progressed.
Lin Xiuyi had visited Ishihara's residence, which could no longer be described as shabby. Even the living conditions of the prisoners in the Tokyo detention center are much better than those of Ishihara. And Ishihara, even though he received a lot of illegal income, still had to borrow money from loan sharks, and even took the initiative to bear his own crimes from the police. There are all kinds of indications that Ishihara has been living a servile life during his time in Tokyo, but he is willing to do so. Combined with Ishihara's family background, Ishihara does not have relatives who are in financial difficulties, and his requirements for material life can be so low, so what is Ishihara's real motivation to engage in theft, and why he can make Ishihara so willing to give the rest of his life, the answer seems to be obvious here, among all the alternatives, women seem to be the most likely one. Lin Xiuyi felt that Ishihara might have been controlled by female fraudsters who used emotions to cheat.
So a new investigation idea was clearly placed in front of Lin Xiuyi. A woman who can keep track of the owners of 26 stolen properties, and she can also make Ishihara willing to give everything she has. Following this line of thought to continue the investigation, Saki Aizaki, who had a relationship with Lin Xiuyi, soon came into the police's sight.
The criminal police of the sixth headquarters spent a lot of energy investigating all the current and former employee records of the 10 property companies related to the case, and soon found that Saki Aizaki had used different names to work in these 10 property companies, and the time he worked happened to coincide with the time period of the theft.
In the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Shuichi told Saki Aizaki in detail about the above reasoning process, and finally asked, "Ms. Saki Aisaki, I wonder how you explain the questions we asked?"
"This money was willingly given to me by Ishihara, what right do you have to treat me like this?" said Saki Aizaki pretending to be calm.
"Then you admit to knowing Ishihara Hayato?" Lin Xiuyi asked calmly.
"Mr. Policeman, many of the men I know are surnamed Ishihara, and there are not a few who are willing to give me money to spend, but if this alone is said that I was involved in theft, it is inevitably too far-fetched!" said to Lin Xiuyi disdainfully.
This is really smart with women, and as a manager of a property company, it is reasonable for Saki Aizaki's fingerprints to appear in the stolen house. Therefore, just based on the fingerprints at the scene of the crime, the police really can't convict Saki Aizaki! I have to say that this woman's criminal modus operandi is really a set, controlling her accomplices to cooperate with her own theft activities through emotional fraud, and then completely shifting all the responsibility to the other party, this hand completely exonerates her own crime.
"Ms. Aizaki, you and Mr. Ishihara met in Yokohama, and you liked a women's watch in Mr. Ishihara's shop, so you wanted to buy it, but no matter what you asked, Mr. Ishihara just wouldn't sell it to you......"
"Mr. Policeman, I don't think I knew Mr. Ishihara you mentioned!" said Saki Aizaki dissatisfied.
"Ms. Aizaki, you took the money hidden in the Bunkyo Ward Gymnasium, right?"
"What are you talking nonsense?"
"Don't deny Ms. Aizaki, you took the money that Ishihara and Nakamura worked so hard to save, right? We've found your fingerprints in the lockers, and the stadium's CCTV has recorded you. In addition, we found your signature in the visitor register, of course you used a different name, but my colleagues in the forensic section have confirmed that it is your autograph through the identification of notes!
Lin Xiuyi aggravated his tone, and completely broke down Saki Xiangzaki's psychological defense with one evidence after another. If she hadn't been involved in this series of thefts, how would she have known that Ishihara and Nakamura hid the money at the Bunkyo Ward Gymnasium, and that Saki Aizaki took the money, which eventually led to a conflict between Ishihara and Nakamura. The main culprit of this tragedy is Saki Aizaki.
Saki Aizaki glared at Lin Xiuyi viciously, she kept thinking about how to overturn all the evidence presented by Lin Xiuyi. She didn't want to admit defeat, her beautiful life had just begun. For this day, she committed herself to Ishihara, a useless man, and tried her best to make Ishihara a minister under her skirt. And now it's all ruined by Ishihara and this policeman.
"Ms. Aizaki, don't bother thinking about it in vain, we naturally made full preparations for bringing you here, if you have anything else to say, go and tell the prosecutor!" Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, and left the room straight and walked to the observation room next door.
Lin Xiuyi came to Ishihara's side, leaned over and said, "Mr. Ishihara, I hope you can tell us all the real situation after seeing this woman's face clearly......
