Chapter 10: Current Clues

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Forest Police Department, long time no see!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Sister Chiyo, why are you so polite all of a sudden!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Lin Xiuyi put a box of Aomori apples in a gift box in front of Forensic Researcher Tanaka Chiyo, it was indeed a long time since he hadn't seen him, since the last Ubutu Village case, Lin Xiuyi hadn't troubled Tanaka Chiyo for a long time.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ So what is the case for this time?"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Chiyo Tanaka glanced at Aomori's specialty apples on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and even her attitude became kind.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ It's nothing, is the case on the Kuwashima Police Department now under Sister Tanaka's responsibility?" Lin Xiuyi asked impatiently.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Lord of the Police Department, although your rank is higher than mine, I still have to solemnly warn you, don't call me Sister Tanaka, please call me Chiyo-chan!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Okay, Chiyo-chan! What happened to the case in charge of the Kuwajima Police Department, and what new discoveries have been made?"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ I don't know what to say, but there are a lot of discoveries, but it's really uncomfortable! Forget it, you better see for yourself!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; As she spoke, Chiyo Tanaka took out two gloves and masks and handed them to Shuichi Hayashi and Miki respectively, and then took the two into the morgue next door.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; As soon as they walked into the morgue, Lin Xiuyi and Miki suddenly felt that the temperature here was much lower than outside.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Chiyo picked up an autopsy record from the table next to the wall, then pointed to a highly decomposed human arm on the dissecting table and said:

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ See, this is the missing girl in charge of the Kuwashima Police Department, but that's all we've gotten so far, so it's not entirely clear if the victim is dead. But I hope the victim is dead, otherwise it would be too miserable!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; After sighing with emotion, Chiyo continued to introduce the autopsy of this arm.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ It is the arm of the left hand of an underage female, measuring 55 cm in length. The muscles and skin tissue on the arms are already showing signs of severe decay, in addition to rodent gnawing marks. So I don't think the park is the first place to dump a corpse."

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ The incision muscle of the arm is heavily eversioned, and the cross-section of the broken bone is very rough and has jagged scratches, so it can be inferred that the victim was sawn alive with a tool such as a hand saw while the victim was alive or shortly after death. But that's not all."

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Chiyo put down the autopsy report in her hand, then put on rubber gloves, a mask and goggles, and then she turned the stump of the severed arm at an angle with her hand, and took it to the magnifying glass of the autopsy table for Hayashi Shuichi and Miki to observe carefully.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ You see, here, here, and here! all three are old wounds that have healed. And they were scars, lacerations, and burns, but they had been healing for some time. So we can basically infer that the victim was beaten and abused for a long time before his death."

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; With Chiyo's introduction, Lin Shuichi and Miki couldn't help frowning, and now they have begun to realize that this case is different from before. That is, the murderer is extremely cruel and tyrannical, and his cruelty is simply more excessive than that of the Green River killer.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; But is the murderer just a cruel pervert? I'm afraid it's not that simple! Judging from the information I got from the Kuwashima Police Department yesterday. The victim had been asking her family for money for half a year, and this was the fundamental reason why the victim's family had been letting her just run away from home.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Until the last time, the victim's family couldn't bear it anymore and just sent a measly 20,000 yen. And also gave the victim an ultimatum, if he did not go home, 20,000 yen would be the last pocket money. Soon after, the victim's mother really never received any more requests for help from her daughter.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; According to the current results, it seems that the victim did everything possible to ask for money from his family, but it is very likely that he was forced by the murderer to do something as a last resort, and the money should have been spent by the murderer. In this way, the murderer is a very intelligent person, his purpose is not just psychopathology, but to a large extent the ultimate goal is to grab money, once the victim can not satisfy the murderer's greed, the murderer will immediately kill the victim.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this time he really took over a tricky job. At least from the current point of view, the murderer in this case has both scheming and means, and is also very brutal and vicious. This is a bit of a counterviance, because in general, extortion is an organized crime, while violent cases are usually unorganized crimes. Lin Xiuyi was really a little curious, what kind of person was such a contradictory murderer!

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; After leaving Chiyo, Shuichi Hayashi and Miki took the initiative to come to the Sex Crime Investigation 2 Department. Then they made a request to Kuwajima Section Chief that made him very embarrassed.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ We would like to take a look at the letters sent home by the deceased, and while I understand your current situation, Kuwajima-sen, you probably also know that the park where the stump was found is probably not even the site of the disposed body, so I am not optimistic about the search there. Moreover, the forensic department has done a very detailed search of the scene, but it has not found any valuable clues, so I wondered if there were any unknown clues hidden in the letters sent home by the victims before their deaths?"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Well, I see! This is really my lifelong regret, and now even kneeling down and admitting my mistakes will not make up for my mistakes. I would have gone and asked her mother for help myself. I'm willing to pay any price to make amends for my mistakes!"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; The Mulberry Island Police Department took a deep breath, and then said solemnly to Lin Xiuyi. Although Lin Xiuyi wanted to persuade Kuwajima, he didn't know what else he could say.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Now Lin Xiuyi only has two clues left by the victim in his hands to continue to trace, namely the stump found in Asakusa and the letter sent by the victim before his death. It's a pity that both the stump and the letter have to rely on further investigation by the technical department, and Lin Xiuyi doesn't need this clue at all now, even if he is in a hurry, he can only continue to wait.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Lin Xiuyi, who was worried, could only take Miki back to the special search department, who knew that as soon as he walked to the door, his phone rang.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; As soon as Lin Xiu picked up his mobile phone, it turned out to be a call from Kanako. He held up the phone, pressed the answer button and put it to his ear.

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp;“ Shuichi-kun, do you have time at night, Fujiki-senpai wants to talk to you about the adaptation of the Green River killer case in person"

≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; ≈bp; Kanako asked excitedly on the other end of the phone.
