Chapter 7 Revisiting the Victim

"I'm sorry, is the Forest Police Department here?"

A lovely woman suddenly appeared at the door and asked a little embarrassed.

"Ah~~!who are you?" Lin Xiuyi saw someone visiting, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"I'm a Sex Crime Investigation Department 2 Inspector Miki Nakayama, and I'm ordered to report to the Forest Police Department!"

Miki Nakayama bowed deeply to Lin Xiuyi, and Lin Xiuyi also hurriedly returned the salute. Then Lin Xiuyi introduced himself: "I'm Lin Xiuyi, you are the Miki sent to our group, welcome to join!"

"Ah, Lin Police Department, please take care of us when we meet for the first time!" said Miki Nakayama and bowed to Lin Xiuyi again.

"Please don't be formal!" Lin Xiuyi said this, but still returned the salute to the other party. Then he introduced Yuichi Aizawa and Toru Hanagata to Miki Nakayama, and everyone had another polite greeting.

"I submitted a report to my superiors and asked to transfer a woman to participate in our search work, after all, we are engaged in sexual crime investigations, and women have a natural advantage in communicating with victims!" Lin Xiuyi explained to his subordinates.

"I will work hard, and I will not let you down in me!" Miki Nakayama said with a serious expression. However, the other party is young and petite and cute, and these words from her mouth always feel unreassuring, but Lin Xiuyi wants such a subordinate.

Although the other party didn't look like a policeman at all, Lin Xiuyi felt that the candidate sent by his superiors was very appetizing. Because the victims of serial indecent assault cases are all minors, it is actually easier to communicate with a woman who does not look like a police officer.

"Hanagata, give the information of the first case to Miki and Aizawa, and go and prepare the vehicle...... Miki, we're going to go out together now and visit the victim, and when we get there, you'll ask the victim about the situation at the time of the crime. The information is on the way!"

"Ahh

Lin Xiuyi explained, put on his coat and began to walk out the door, and Miki and the others followed Lin Xiuyi and left the office.

It was enough for the people of the search headquarters to be in charge of the large-scale investigation now, and Lin Xiuyi didn't plan to let his team spend all their energy on the investigation. Instead, he wanted to open a breakthrough from the victims of several molestation cases.

It can be seen from the suspect's choice of victims that the prey chosen by the suspect actually has certain commonalities, for example, the victims are all limited to Wenjing District, and they are all elementary school students. Lin Xiuyi wanted to know whether the suspect was looking for prey at random or locking on to specific prey. These things cannot be reflected in the existing confessions, and the words that the predecessors often put on their lips are called a hundred times on the spot. If you have doubts in your mind, the best thing to do is to go to the scene to have a look, or to find the victim and witnesses to recount some specific details of the suspect's crime, and maybe there will be something new.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiuyi and others came to the door of the victim Kaoru Ishii's house. This is a luxurious-looking one-family building. Judging from the buildings of the surrounding neighbors, this is a high-end residential area.

"Who are you?" Not long after the doorbell rang, the hostess of the house opened the door, and saw three men and one woman standing outside the door, so she asked suspiciously.

"I'm Lin Xiuyi from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, and I'm in charge of investigating an indecent assault case a few months ago, I wonder if you can let us ask a few more questions?" Lin Xiuyi explained, while taking out a police handbook from his pocket and showing it to the other party to prove his identity as a policeman.

"When we reported the crime, we told everything we knew at the police station, and my daughter finally forgot about it, and it's really embarrassing for you to come again......" said the hostess displeased.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother again, but sometimes the investigation is like this, and if the person concerned says a few more times, it will recall important details, please forgive us for being abrupt!" Lin Xiuyi hurriedly explained.

"But you always make us very distressed by this! I knew we wouldn't report the crime, and my daughter wasn't violated anyway......" said the hostess, still dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, if the criminals remain at large, your daughter may be in danger again! Lin Xiuyi patiently explained.

Under the repeated persuasion of Lin Xiuyi and others, the mother of the victim Kaoru Ishii finally agreed to Lin Xiuyi's request.

Lin Xiuyi and the others took off their shoes on the porch, and then walked into Kaoru Ishii's house, where the little girl happened to be doing her homework at home after school. With the consent of the victim's mother, Miki began a conversation with Kaoru Ishii.

"Xiao Xun, can you excuse me, the police uncle and aunt want to ask you a few questions, it's about the bad uncle a few months ago!"

After Miki said these words, the little girl looked at everyone present, her eyes turned from everyone, and finally returned to Miki Nakayama. Miki Nakayama crouched down and kept her gaze at the same height as the little girl. Probably Miki's appearance really doesn't have the irresistible feeling of the police, and the little girl agreed after a little hesitation.

Although the arrival of Lin Xiuyi and the others made the hostess feel displeased, the hostess still served tea to the guests. Lin Xiuyi and the others bowed slightly to express their gratitude, but their eyes were staring at Miki and Kaoru Ishii motionlessly.

"Xiao Xun, can you tell Auntie about the events of that day!" Miki asked in a kind tone.

Xiao Xun nodded, and then began to recall what happened that day under Miki's inquiry.

Kaoru Ishii's initial narrative is not much different from the content in the transcript, but because things have passed for a long time, there are some discrepancies at some points in time, which is a normal phenomenon. Lin Xiuyi listened quietly without saying a word, silently corroborating the contents in his mind and on the case file.

"Xiao Xun, after the bad uncle appeared at that time, didn't he do anything special?" As the question deepened, it was finally the turn of the most critical question.

"Uncle Bad suddenly stood in front of me, and then opened his trench coat with a "swish...... He wasn't dressed and I was startled by him, and then I ...... And then the bad uncle saw me crying, so he took a few steps back, like this, and then ran away?" She was even able to imitate the suspect's movements when she recounted the incident.

Lin Xiuyi looked at Kaoru Ishii's performance, and he didn't look like a victim who had been severely traumatized. In fact, the nature of the first case was not that bad. If it weren't for the fact that the victim was a minor, this was just an ordinary case of decorating, and the criminal police would not have bothered to dispatch at all.

Although Kaoru Ishii's new confession is not much different from the original, there are not many discrepancies in the content. But being able to listen to the person re-narrating it still brought Lin Xiuyi a new experience, and Lin Xiuyi got a very vivid impression from Kaoru Ishii's narration - this bad uncle is not so scary.
