Chapter 35: Clean Scene
"That's it, then please......"
Takashi Imai took his colleagues from the forensic division to the house where Eiji Noguchi died, and then pointed to the house and said to each other.
The person in charge of the forensic section looked at the house, and then said to Takashi Imai, Aizawa and Hanagata from Tokyo:
"I'll leave it to us, I don't want anyone to walk into this house until we're done, you just wait outside......"
"Then, please!"
Aizawa bowed to these colleagues from the Hokkaido Prefectural Identification Division in blue uniforms, and Hanagata and Imai hurriedly followed Aizawa and saluted each other. After the colleagues in the forensic class returned the salute, they each walked into the long-dusty empty house with their own tools.
An hour had passed, and the work of the forensic class was still not over. Aizawa and the others, who were anxiously sitting in the car waiting for the results, opened the car door from time to time and got out of the car to inquire about the situation in the house.
"Why has it been so long, so many people have searched the house, and it has taken so long, it's really urgent......"
Hanagata tiptoed over to look at the situation in the house, and the irritability of waiting made him complain from time to time. In fact, not only Hanagata, but Kanai and Aizawa are also suffering from waiting. On the one hand, they are looking forward to the colleagues in the forensics class to find more clues and evidence. But at the same time, they are also worried that newly discovered clues will lead the investigation in a more complicated direction.
Two hours passed, and just when Aizawa and the others were about to go crazy after waiting, the person in charge of the identification class finally came out of the house. I saw that he shook his head at Aizawa and Kanai and the others from a long distance, and then took off the mask on his face and the gloves on his hands.
"What the hell, we were busy inside for a long time, but we couldn't find even half of our fingerprints...... "The person in charge of the identification class said helplessly to Aizawa and the others.
"Not a single fingerprint? What do you mean, do you mean it's been thoroughly cleaned?"
"Yes, someone must have done it, and it shouldn't have been more than a month! Otherwise, how could the scene be handled so cleanly, it's really disgusting! We were busy for a long time, and we couldn't find anything......
Just when Imai Takashi was still discussing the case with the person in charge of the forensic section, Aizawa, who already knew the results of the second on-site investigation, quietly stepped aside, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Xiuyi's phone.
"Moses Moses?"
"The police department, I have very bad news to tell you! The Hokkaido Prefectural Police have just conducted a second investigation of the crime scene, and according to their statement, the scene has been cleaned up by someone, and even half of the fingerprints cannot be found!"
Aizawa closed his eyes with some shame, starting from the beginning when the police department discovered the suspicion of Professor Noguchi's suicide case, and now he has re-conducted a systematic search of Professor Noguchi's residence. Too much time has been delayed in between. This leaves the real killer with a lot of time to process the evidence of the crime that he left at the scene.
"Aizawa-kun, can't you even find half a fingerprint?"
To Aizawa's surprise, Lin Xiuyi's tone on the other end of the phone was surprisingly calm. It doesn't seem to be angry at all because the crime scene has been destroyed. This makes Aizawa really a little puzzled!
"Hey, I really couldn't find any fingerprints! And our investigation of Echishi's starter during this period has not yielded any results. But one thing we can be sure of is that the person who cleaned up the scene should not be the one who is on the eve of the eve, after all, we have been following her almost every day during this time, and she will not have the opportunity to do such a thing under our noses......"
Aizawa solemnly assured Lin Xiuyi, and then fell silent on the other side of the phone, just when Aizawa thought that Lin Xiuyi was going to ask something, he didn't expect Lin Xiuyi to suddenly say to him:
"Aizawa-kun, I think it's time for you to go back to Tokyo, the murderer has already messed up the case in Hokkaido. I believe that it won't be long before we can find the real murderer......"
After the call ended, Lin Xiuyi took back his mobile phone and returned to the room just now, and then apologized to Miki, who was sitting in the room, and Nobuo Yanagizawa, the current president of Kaisei University:
"I'm sorry, I just received a call from a colleague, and I had to go out to deal with it, I'm so sorry to delay your time!"
"Officer Lin is so polite!"
Liu Ze waved his hand, signaling that Lin Xiu didn't need to mind. Seeing this, Lin Xiu smiled at Yanazawa with some embarrassment, and then nodded towards Miki, signaling that the conversation record just now could continue.
"So, can I ask you how Tetsuji Fujiki, a graduate of Tokyo University who was admitted to Tokyo University after graduating from your school, got into Kaisei University in the first place?"
"Officer Lin, you're asking Fujiki-kun! What, did something happen to him?"
Yanagisawa asked Lin Xiuyi with some concern.
"Oh, no, please don't get me wrong, we just learned by chance that Tetsuji Fujiki's mother is just a low-paid cleaning lady, after all, your school is a nationally renowned private boys' school, in fact, I also learned a little before I came, it is said that the registration fee for taking an entrance exam for your school alone is as high as 2 million yen! How can the Fujiki family afford such an expensive tuition?"
Yanagisawa listened carefully to Lin Xiuyi's question, and after Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, Yanagisawa smiled first, and then explained to Lin Xiuyi:
"Actually...... I actually know a little bit about the situation in Fujiki-kun's family. It stands to reason that it is indeed unlikely that Fujiki-kun will be able to pay the cost of studying at a university. However, if I tell you that all the tuition fees of Fujiki-kun at Kaisei University are actually paid through the scholarships provided by the school through his own efforts, I wonder how you would feel?"
"Scholarship, you mean, Tetsuji Fujiki was able to get into here on a scholarship, right?"
Lin Xiuyi asked in disbelief.
In the past few years since he opened the university, Fujiki-kun has always occupied the top position in the same class, and with his strength, there is no suspense at all about being admitted to the University of Tokyo. Also, I have some expectations for Fujiki-san to achieve even greater achievements in the future......"
