Chapter 30: Lingering Doubts
In Sanmachime, Kuromeji, Minato-kuro, police lights flashed outside a building abandoned during the bubble period, and the entrance to the building was cordoned off by the Metropolitan Police Department. From time to time, forensic officers in blue uniforms and criminal police officers in suits would come and go from here.
Lin Xiuyi wore the armband of this search lesson on his left arm, and his brows were tightly pressed and he waited for the results of the search at the scene of the first crime. The technicians of the forensic section are required to confirm Ishihara's confession on the spot. Only after this work is completed will all the relevant information about the case be transferred to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office for subsequent judicial proceedings.
Aizawa lifted the cordon and walked out of it, nodding towards Lin Xiu from afar. Lin Xiu comprehended it wholeheartedly, and it seemed that Ishihara's confession had been confirmed by the forensic class, which meant that all the important work in this case had been completed. Hanagata and Miki, who were standing beside Lin Xiuyi, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Xiuyi still frowned and didn't say a word.
"By the way, how about the high school classmate Ishihara mentioned, and have you confirmed the package with him?" Lin Xiu suddenly asked Hanagata beside him after repeatedly getting the answer that Aizawa had confirmed.
"Police, I've investigated. Ishihara does have a classmate in Tokyo, but he died in a traffic accident half a year ago!" Hanagata immediately reported to Hayashi Shuichi.
"Police Department, do you still mind Ishihara's confession?" Miki, who was on the side, saw that Lin Xiuyi seemed to be still thinking about the case, so he took the initiative to ask.
"I really don't mind it, forget it! It's not a big deal anyway!" Lin Xiu waved his hand and beckoned everyone back to the car, there was nothing left here, and the rest of the matter would be a headache for the Shenmu Police Department and the people who searched the headquarters!
So far, all the findings have been consistent with Ishihara's confession. Even with the ultra-high success rate of 26 theft cases without missing a single miss, Ishihara gave a reasonable explanation. Of course, Ishihara's illegal gains were hidden by Nakamura, and Nakamura was killed by Ishihara, so the whereabouts of this money became a new question. However, from the current situation, it seems that this money did not fall into Ishihara's hands. Because if he really got the money, he should have settled the loan shark first, and the opposite happened, Ishihara not only did not repay the arrears, but borrowed a large amount of money.
On the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Xiuyi was silent all the time, and his subordinates all noticed Lin Xiuyi's abnormality, they looked at each other for a while, and then it was Yumiki who broke the silence first.
"The police department, the murder and abandonment case in the port area has been successfully solved, and the murderer Ishihara has also admitted his crime, why can't you let go of this case?"
"It's nothing, I just think that the case was solved too suddenly, too smoothly, it really surprised me, and I always feel that there are still a lot of unnatural places!" Lin Xiuyi actually can't say anything wrong now, anyway, he just feels wrong. But if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with Ishihara's confession. After a few days, Lin Xiuyi himself felt that he was not too hypocritical.
"Isn't it a good thing that it goes well?" asked Miki, puzzled.
"Of course it's a good thing, but don't you think Ishihara's mouth is too happy? You know, he hasn't spit out a word in the Metropolitan Police Department for half a month. But when we gave him fish-shaped yaki and daifuku cakes, he said everything at once. This is a murder, shouldn't you think about it seriously, at least when you make a confession, it can be said that Nakamura attacked him before he had to defend himself before killing Nakamura with his backhand, why should he bear all the crimes himself?" Lin Xiuyi said the doubts in his heart, and wanted to hear Miki's opinion, because Miki participated in the second interrogation of Ishihara throughout the whole process, if Miki also felt the same way as himself, then Ishihara's confession might really be problematic!
"Huh, I really feel a little wrong when you say that, I always feel as if he is ready for a long time, just waiting for us!" Miki was reminded by Lin Xiuyi, and seemed to feel a little wrong. The suspect was so moved by the food provided by the police that he wanted to take the initiative to tell his crime, which is like the plot of an eight-o'clock soap opera, how can there be such a dramatic thing?
"But, why did Ishihara do this?" Hanagata was a little confused by Lin Xiuyi's statement, isn't this case solved and solved?
"Why do you do this, this is indeed a question, I always feel that this Ishihara has not explained everything to us? Just relying on the method he said, can he guarantee that nothing goes wrong? You know, being able to commit crimes together one after another, this simply doesn't take the police into account!" Lin Xiuyi analyzed the more he felt that there was a problem, so far, there were two points that he had never been able to convince himself, the first was that Ishihara was crazy about committing crimes, where was his confidence? Who is that master? Second, why didn't Ishihara repay his loan shark debts after he succeeded in committing the crime?
"Aizawa, what do you think of Ishihara's problem?" Lin Xiuyi finally asked Aizawa, who had been concentrating on driving, and he could be regarded as an experienced old criminal policeman.
"Police, I agree with you!" replied Aizawa, who didn't like to talk.
"Hanagata, tell the Sixth Headquarters, I want all the information on the crime scene of the 26 cases. In addition, we may be very busy in the evening, and everyone's celebration wine will be postponed for a few days!"
After everyone returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to meet the Shenmu Police Department and raised his own questions. The Shenmu Police Department promised to submit the report to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office a few days later. However, the sixth headquarters is more troublesome, and 26 thefts have been solved, and everyone is ready to relax together. So when Lin Xiuyi proposed to review the case file again, several police officers didn't quite understand his purpose in doing so.
"Xiu Yisang, the case has been successfully solved, and the suspicious person has confessed all the crimes, is there anything that makes you dissatisfied?" said to Lin Xiuyi from the seniors of the sixth headquarters. This case has cost everyone a lot of thought, and now that the suspect has been brought to justice, no one wants to make a fuss.
"Seniors, I'm not questioning Ishihara's criminal purpose, but questioning the purpose of his confession, I think he did it on purpose!" Lin Xiuyi patiently explained.
"He even confessed to the crime of murder, what else is there to hide?" said Harada-senpai of the sixth headquarters thief searching the 6th series.
"Senior, please forgive me for making my own opinions, give me another night, and I will definitely be able to find out what Ishihara wants to hide!" Lin Xiuyi bowed his head and pleaded.
