A body was found on Mount Maple Grove.

The police, who received the report, arrived and found the body, which was exactly the same as the one in the case two months ago.

The deceased, Aika Tamura, female, 32 years old, bank clerk.

Usually, when the murderer subdues the opponent, he will tie his hands behind his back to restrain the opponent's movements.

The corpse, however, had its hands tied in front of it.

The cause of death is death due to excessive blood loss.

In the center of Tamura's chest, an arrow was inserted, the eardrums in both ears were punctured with something pointy, and her eyes were tied with ropes.

"Dusk Police Department. In the pocket of the deceased's jacket, this was found. ”

Twilight Thirteen took the clear bag handed to him, and there was a note in it that said, "You have eyes, can't you see?" Have ears, can't you hear?

This is a phrase spoken by Jesus in the Gospel of Mark.

It's just that this case is different.

That is, the killer moved the body from the murder scene to the rock, as if the product had been put on display.

After searching almost half of the mountain, the police finally found the first crime scene.

On the tree, a puppet was tied to it, and a large cross was drawn on its face with a red pen.

There is also a circle of wire tied to the body, I don't know what it is used for.

All this is exactly the same as the case two months ago.

This point was not announced by the police.

Therefore, it can be concluded that it was not a copycat.

When all the traces were tied with yellow belts, I was surprised to find that they were arranged in a neat straight line, as if they were deliberately so.

The body was taken to the medical examiner's office.

The final result: in the blood, the composition of sleeping pills was detected.

There were no bruises around the eyes, and the ropes were tied long after the victim's death, exactly as in the previous case.

"This is where the ropes on the victim's body were untied at the beginning. Such a neat section should have been untied with the help of the murderer, who deliberately let the victim escape. ”

Because of the darkness of the night, I couldn't see the road ahead.

So as soon as I accidentally stepped on it, I rolled down the rock and got hit on the head.

The reason why the hands are tied in front of the body is actually the deliberate act of the murderer.

In order to allow the victim to act in the mountains to the greatest extent.

"But why, did the victim escape? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to catch it? ”

"To hunt down prey, of course."

Twilight Thirteen was stunned, and finally looked at the person who spoke up, showing a surprised expression: "Tang, Miss Tang?" ”

"Dusk Police Department, it's me who called the police, why are you so surprised?"

After such a reminder, Twilight Thirteen finally remembered.

By the way, I still remember that when I asked why I came back to this barren mountain range, the other party's answer was: Of course, it is to ask someone to climb the mountain, and step on it in advance.

No matter how you think about it, I feel a little suspicious.

"Before you kill someone, make the other person feel fear. And then like hunting, catch up step by step. ”

"All this should have been carefully planned, and I even watched the victim walk to the last level set by myself."

It feels like a game.

Near the mountainside, there is a place where you can sell drinks.

Maybe you can ask something from the boss there.

Of course, it is possible that you may not be able to ask anything.

After all, in the middle of the night, most people are still in the warm quilt at home, dreaming.

"People who come to climb the mountain don't check in. And if everyone wears a mountaineering suit, it actually feels the same way, and it doesn't leave a deep impression. ”

The man's voice sounded hoarse, and after coughing a few times, he said, "Buy a cup of coffee and then continue asking." ”

Before being a person who is enthusiastic about providing information, he will not forget his own work.

"Then have two drinks."

In such cold weather, warm hot coffee can really make the body more comfortable.

After taking the coffee handed by the other party, Qinghai Chuantang asked again: "It should be very troublesome to move so many things, right?" ”

Another man dressed in black pointed down the hill and said, "Actually, if you drive, you can go all the way to the parking lot below." And then you have to start moving up from there, which saves a lot of effort. ”

"That, Officer Kawanishi. I'll leave the monitoring matter to you, and if there is any news, I hope you can let me know. ”

"This is our criminal police's business, and we will naturally be responsible for it to the end, so don't get involved."

Qinghai Chuantang touched his nose, and sure enough, the other party's dislike was real.

After leaving Maple Leaf Mountain, Qinghai Chuantang found the address where Tamura Aijia's house was located.

The one who opened the door was her sister: Mana Tamura.

Things in the living room are stacked haphazardly, even messy, and it looks like they haven't been cleaned in days.

On the other hand, Aika Tamura's room is very clean, and things are stacked neatly.

The books on the shelves are deliberately sorted, as if they were in a library.

Back to Basics, Matthew's Gospel Exegetical Meditations, and The Devil's Family Letters are really a devout Christian believer.

On the shelf, there is a photo of her with a man.

It's a little close, but it doesn't look very intimate.

In the background is a church.

So, Qinghai Chuantang came to the rice flower branch where Tamura Aijia worked to learn about some information.

"She left work that day, and she always does. There is no other schedule other than the unit and the church. ”

"Then she doesn't have a good relationship with the colleagues around her?" Qinghai Chuantang then asked.

"That's not really, it's just a little bit more introverted. But maybe it's because of that."

"I heard that five years ago, she made a big mistake in the branch where she used to work, and accidentally processed a transaction of 500 million yuan into 5 billion."

"That's why she was transferred to our branch."

As if remembering something again, the colleague continued: "However, I heard that I won the award last year, so I finally want to promote her this year." ”

Qinghai Chuantang recorded in the notebook, "What was the specific situation at that time? ”

"Last time our bank was robbed by robbers, the robbers took the child's mother hostage and threatened her with a knife. At that time, Director Aijia stepped forward."

Speaking of this, my colleague smiled and said, "It feels like a different person." ”

The main religions in Japan are Shintoism and Buddhism, while there are fewer than 1 followers of Christianity.

So it's very simple to think of finding a place where the two are taking a photo.

"Investigating a criminal with a similar criminal record is the most basic way for police officers to investigate a case. So, is there another robbery in the neighborhood? ”

Although there is a misunderstanding in identity.

But being able to know how to strike first seems to be a master.

Before he could speak, the other man continued: "I have confessed to the Lord, and I will not commit any more crimes." ”

"What's more, you don't have any evidence to prove that I'm the criminal. Otherwise, what awaits me should be cold handcuffs. ”

After hearing this, she laughed a little.

"Mr. Akio, you are absolutely right. But I came to you to find out about Miss Aijia. I think you know something. ”

The smile on Akio Okoshi's face faded away, "She, is something wrong?" ”

"She's dead. To be precise, he should have been killed. ”

His lips twitched slightly.

Akio Okoshi lost his family at a very early age.

And Aika Tamura was the only one who visited him in prison.

He even helped him prepare for exams and revisions, hoping that he would become a clergyman and save people who were suffering from sin.

At first, he did resent the other party.

If it weren't for her, how could she be in prison?

But when he was in prison, Aika Tamura chattered a lot with him.

He also said that he had committed a sin five years ago, and even after reading the Bible several times, he felt tormented.

She didn't want to be like that for the rest of herself, so she wanted to help him and atone for the sins she had committed.

What really happened five years ago?

Qinghai Chuantang found Mana Tamura again, hoping to get some clues from her mouth.

Unless it's a secret that can't be told until death.

Generally speaking, people tend to tell their secrets to those close to them as a catharsis and soothe their inner emotions.

"Five years ago? At that time, there was indeed such a thing. ”

It happened right in front of the bank where Aika Tamura worked.

A man holds a knife in one hand and drags a woman's collar with the other.

The woman managed to break free and knelt on the ground to ask a bank clerk for help.

But then the man came up to her, pointed a knife at her, seemed to say something, and kicked the woman in the back with his foot.

The clerk broke free and hurriedly ran to the side, afraid that he would be connected to himself.

Then the man grabbed the woman by the hair and dragged her forward.

The woman broke free again, desperately trying to escape.

However, she was still caught.

The man brandished the fruit knife in his hand, as if to warn the people around him not to come forward.

There was a man who seemed to want to step forward to stop this, but was pulled by his girlfriend and told him not to take the risk.

After all, an unarmed person, compared to a person with a sharp blade, not to mention that he is an ordinary person, there is no chance of winning in it.

It's just unnecessary casualties.

And in the end, the end of the woman is that the man kills in public.

At that time, someone recorded it all and uploaded it online.

Aika Tamura, who saw the video, was stimulated and felt very self-blaming.

I think that if I had been braver at that time, I might not have caused such an outcome.

And this has also become a lingering shadow in her heart.

"No matter how much I tried to persuade her to forget about it, she would just repeat one thing, if only I had grabbed her hand at the time."

If you had done that, maybe someone else would have helped, right?

An indelible, intense sense of guilt.

"Help me, save me, help me, I don't know him at all!"

Please, please

Help me!
