"Cha Tai, do you really see clearly?"

"I can see clearly that the person who kidnapped Saori Sakuraba is definitely not Shoji Kuroda, and ...... I'm also sure that the other party is definitely not Akio Kimura!"

……

"It's strange, who could it be!"

"If my guess is correct, that person should be the guy who killed Harushi Fukuda, it seems...... In addition to us, there must be another group of people looking for the whereabouts of Shoji Kuroda!"

"The guy who killed Harushi Fukuda?"

……

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's analysis, Adachi Shengsheng and other colleagues in the criminal division couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, any of you remember the video Sakuraba Goro released at the time, which mentioned that in the Ginza Imperial Hotel case, the taxi he was driving once hit an expensive car belonging to Fukuda Harushi, and it is precisely because of this that Sakuraba Goro still remembers this incident until now. Do any of you remember how Haruki Fukuda dealt with the crash that night......"

"Uh...... I remember Goro Sakuraba saying...... At that time, Fukuda Qingyu directly let him go, and did not pull him to talk about compensation!"

"That's it, don't you think it's strange? Isn't it too generous for Fukuda to do this? You know, even if it is an ordinary person, if your beloved car is damaged by someone else, it is reasonable to ask for compensation, let alone ...... Shoji Kuroda is a high-ranking cadre of the Gokudo Organization, so why should he let Sakuraba Goro gosher?"

"Huh...... What do you mean, Director......"

"Although this case took place 20 years ago, and many of the key pieces of evidence have been obliterated, ...... If we consider the cases of the year in the context of recent events, perhaps many things become easier to understand. So...... Let's start with the case from 20 years ago. At that time, Fukuda Harushi didn't even mention the matter of compensation, so he directly let Mr. Sakuraba leave, if this incident is true, then Fukuda Haruto's behavior is obviously unreasonable, but ...... If Fukuda had had had more important things to deal with at that time, maybe everything would have made sense!"

"Important, Director...... What do you mean ......"

"Considering that there was a murder in the Imperial Hotel that night, I think this incident may really have something to do with Fukuda Haruka! I think based on the above considerations, there are two possibilities for Fukuda's behavior that night. Homicide...... Or is it...... Aftermath?"

"Let's talk about the deceased Haruna first, it is said that ...... She used to be one of the most popular hostesses in Ginza! I don't think such a successful hostess would have anything to do with someone like Harushi Fukuda! You know, a successful Ginza hostess can easily make a lot of money just by sitting there and chatting and drinking every night...... And for people like Fukuda Haruki, the background is much more complicated...... And that's what I'm puzzling right now......"

……

"Police...... What do you mean by the ...... who killed Haruna at the Imperial Hotel back then? Is it actually Harushi Fukuda?"

"It's possible, but it's also possible that someone else did it, and Fukuda Harushi may just be ordered to go somewhere to help deal with the scene. Do you remember the suspicion I mentioned? The only fingerprint left at the scene was that of Hojo Saishi, and it was ...... Or in the place where the forensic class will definitely pay attention to the switch, since Hojo Saishi can clean up all the fingerprints left by the deceased, but ...... He couldn't even get rid of his fingerprints, which was obviously a bit unreasonable......! If someone did it on purpose, then ...... It all makes sense!"

After listening to Lin Xiuyi's analysis, everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation at once, and ...... A lot of previously isolated things are suddenly linked together by this assumption.

"But Director, if that's what you analyzed, wouldn't Saori Sakuraba be very dangerous now?"

"It's dangerous, but ...... It also indirectly proves that Shoji Kuroda may really have something valuable in their hands, so that those people not only dared to kill the president of the Sumiyoshi Association, Harushi Fukuda, but also did not let go of Goro Sakuraba's daughter...... But one thing that surprised me was how those people knew Saori Sakuraba's current address, you know, Shoji Kuroda didn't hesitate to risk his life for this address, and ran to the Shinjuku Central Police Station alone to get information!"

As soon as Lin Xiu said this, he suddenly had a new idea, so he hurriedly said to Miki:

"Miki...... Contact Inspector Genzhizhu, I would like to ask him to help see who has checked Saori Sakura's household registration records recently!"

"Police, do you want to track down the whereabouts of those people through the clues of intelligence leaks?"

"Yes, since Goro Sakuraba is a friend of Shoji Kuroda, then ...... From what I know about Shoji Kuroda, he would never have done anything to kidnap his friend's daughter. And those guys, since even the president of the Sumikichi Association dares to kill, then there is nothing to scruple about the kidnapping!"

……

Seeing that the investigation, which was still a bit of a dead end, suddenly had a direction, the blow caused by Saori Sakuraba's kidnapping suddenly eased a lot. But right now, whether it's Shoji Kuroda or the guy who doesn't know the origin yet, they are the focus of the police's investigation. At the same time, how to find the clues of Saori Sakuraba as soon as possible has also become a difficult problem in front of Lin Xiuyi.

"Listen, let's work hard, and then sort out the characteristics of the car and the people who kidnapped Saori Sakurabi. Cha Tai, you are now the only witness who has seen the true face of that group, and I will ask the forensic department to send a portrait artist to paint a portrait of the suspect with you in a while, and then we will immediately go to the major police stations on the promenade of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"Understood, Director!"

……

When Lin Xiuyi explained what he needed to do next, he left the office where the search headquarters was located with Section Chief Matsuda. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiuyi whispered to Section Chief Matsuda:

"Senior, since we have now connected Fukuda Harushi with the case from twenty years ago, then...... Can you find a way to investigate the relationship between Harushi Fukuda and Saishi Hojo through your own private channels...... What kind of relationship does it really have...... I feel that there must be a big reason behind this incident!"

"Twenty years ago, Takayama was just a small character! If you want to investigate these things, I would suggest you go to another person......

"Who?"

"The eldest brother before the establishment of Takayama City, the previous generation president of the Kodo Society, Katsumasa Yamaoka. ”
