Chapter 24: The Round-up (I)
Tokyo has a subtropical monsoon climate, and in this season, under the influence of the southeast monsoon, there are many rainy days, and the sun is shining the day before yesterday, and the next day it is raining, and during the day, it is still comfortable and warm, but at night it suddenly drizzles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dead of night, the rain is continuous, although not big, but it connects the sky and the earth, blocking the view and making it a little difficult to travel, and the supposedly bustling night markets are closed, not to mention the city's 9-to-5 commuters.
Generally at this time, of course, staying at home, curling up in the bed, and sleeping lazily is the most suitable choice, but not everyone has the freedom to make such a choice.
Just through a layer of glass doors, watching the non-stop rain outside, Kondo Noo secretly screamed bad luck, and looked back at the female boss Kyoka Yuriko who was sitting on a square wooden chair and closing her eyes, and he was also a little helpless.
Their department is relatively special, and it is not subordinate to the RB Metropolitan Police Department, but it is under it on the surface, but the real direct leader is a cabinet minister.
In fact, institutions like theirs exist in all countries, and they are obviously only a relatively open part of the country, whether there are secrets, although Kondo Noo is not clear, but he is very sure.
Of course, everyone is in their own position, there are always various reasons, and the external environment and personal factors are jointly promoted, so although sometimes there are some complaints, some small dissatisfactions, such as having to go out with tasks at this time, such as some honors that should belong to their side, but they have to be pushed out and let others receive them, but Kondo Noo has never thought about leaving.
The enthusiasm of the first time I started working has actually disappeared in the monotonous affairs year after year, and now I am more accustomed to this position than I have worked hard for so many years.
Habit is a terrifying force that most people can't resist in front of it, and Noo Kondo is no exception.
In such anxious and patient waiting, after the time passed minute by minute, when the depressed emotions in my heart slowly accumulated and reached a critical point, there was finally movement outside.
The moment the glass door was pushed open, the cold wind whistled in and raged for a while, making everyone inside shiver, and the person who came seemed to know that his behavior was definitely unpleasant, and immediately entered the topic and said: "Kyoka-san, Kondo-san, the target has appeared ......"
Kondo Noo couldn't help but lift his spirits, and looked back at Kyoka Yuriko, the female boss's eyes had already opened, even if he was a few steps away, Kondo Noo could clearly see the excitement flashing in the crazy woman's eyes, "Ready to act!"
"Hey!"
As the person directly responsible for this operation, Yuriko's order also officially kicked off the prelude to this roundup.
The rain was still falling, but the men in black in raincoats passed through the long curtain between the sky and the earth woven by the rain, and entered an abandoned apartment building.
In a place close to the downtown area, it is normal for such an abandoned floor to attract people's attention, but under normal circumstances, no one will come to this place, because there have been many various ghost stories circulating here, in a country like RB, the birth and spread of ghost stories are commonplace, and many people are convinced of the existence of ghosts, even including some department people, no one will have any doubts about this, and because these ghost stories have been circulating for a long time, at the beginning of the "Special Investigation Division" Kyoka Yuriko: They didn't notice this place either.
In fact, based on the inductive analysis of the cases scattered in RB cities before, many people in the investigation department believe that the Tokyo case can be brought to an end, and the next crime may be committed in a different city, and they should focus on the next possible target city of the criminal; In their eagerness, they arrested many suspects at once and brought them back for interrogation to no avail, but another body was found, which is also the reason why Li Chengjie would be released directly, which will not wash away the suspicions on their bodies, but in order to prevent someone from using this as an excuse after the outbreak of a new case, they simply released them first, and then secretly monitored them.
This time, the crime site is more remote, close to the coast, and it is a floating corpse that was recovered by nearby fishermen.
After the body was recovered, the whole body was already swollen and unshaped, and in some places it was even eaten by some fish in the sea, and it became incomplete, so that the appearance and body shape were difficult to identify, and the specific identity needed to be further verified, after all, there were so many missing reports every day, and it was not easy to hook it up all at once.
The only thing that can be determined may be the tooth mark wound on his neck, which is exactly the same as Fu Buyuan and others after comparison.
According to the preliminary identification of the medical examiner, the time of death of this body may have even been before Fu Buyuan, but it was after the Yokohama murder in a previous crime location, which forced them to overturn most of their previous inferences at once and then start reconstructing the entire case.
There is no doubt that although this series of cases that can be connected suddenly changed here and become a watershed, the commonality of all the series of cases makes it impossible to separate them and look at them separately, and as the principal, Kyoka Yuriko inexplicably insists that this case may have been committed by one person, so everyone starts from this aspect now.
Although there are no witnesses at the scene, with the current level of science and technology, it is still possible to find the same hair and fingerprints on these deceased, but on the one hand, it takes a lot of time to check in this area, and the murderer is also very smart, and has a very strong sense of anti-investigation.
At the beginning, Li Chengjie and them were arrested and interrogated, but in fact, after having no clue in this regard, he held the strategy of casting a wide net and made a brainless move, but unfortunately it was fruitless, and Kondo Noo was not less criticized by several opponents for this.
As for this mission, it is mainly from the personal order of Kyoka Yuriko, allegedly according to one of her clues, the movements of a suspect who is temporarily locked, with the support of his superiors and quite majestic in himself, although everyone disagrees with Yuriko's words, but no one dares not to listen, not to mention that they are only responsible for action, and it has nothing to do with them if it doesn't work, and no one will be stupid enough to follow her on this.
Kyoka Yuriko may also know the thoughts of some subordinates, in a country like RB, it is too difficult for a woman to achieve her position, and even if she does, she will always be subject to some rejection and discrimination from the opposite sex, both openly and secretly, she is still very successful, as for the thoughts of these people, she can only speak with facts.
However, she is not so confident in her heart, not a weak heart for the line, she is very sure in this regard, and even for the murderer, she is undoubtedly convinced, this understanding, she has had personal experience is much clearer than these subordinates, but it is precisely because of the clarity that she knows how terrible the other party is, although there is no shortage of these subordinates who are outstanding, but I am afraid that they are still not able to catch it.
This time, she even deliberately applied for re-energizing from above, just in case.
