Chapter 81: Innocence
"On the 5th of this month, a woman was killed after being hit in the head and buried in the soil at Michino Park in Rice Flower Town."
"The police judged from the situation at the scene that this homicide was related to the serial hunting homicide 'Shovel Man' 9 years ago"
However, the murderer of the shovel man case nine years ago, "Gu Shou Yoji", has long been arrested by the police.
After ruling out the possibility of escaping, all that remains is the possibility of imitating the crime and catching the wrong person.
Qinghai Chuantang stood up and prepared to go to the counter to handle banking business.
But here, a man and a woman walked in, still holding firearms.
Robbery?
In addition to the man and woman, there were Qinghai Chuantang, Judy, an old man, and two bank staff members left.
As soon as they saw this posture, everyone raised their hands in unison.
At the request of the other party, all five of them stood in a row.
The woman walked over and closed the glass door, pressed the switch of the roller shutter door, and closed the curtain, forming a closed state.
The man still put a loop of tape at Qinghai Chuantang's feet, pointed a gun at her and said, "You, go and wrap their hands around." β
"Then call the police and ask the 'Shizuda Chiwang' of the Ministry of Transportation to come. We both had bombs strapped to us. β
"If they insist on breaking through, then everyone will have to die together!"
Qinghai Chuantang did not make any struggle, and acted obediently according to the other party's request.
When confronted by Judy, she whispers "I'm sorry".
Then the tape was deliberately wound a few more times, and it looked very strong, as if it had been plastered.
If their target was only the "Shizuda Chiwang" of the Ministry of Transportation, it would not have been so troublesome.
After all, people from the Ministry of Transportation often patrol the streets, and if you ask more, you will always meet them.
Unless, they have another purpose.
After calling the police, the special forces and mobile teams of the Search Division will immediately surround the area and then negotiate.
If you refuse to answer the negotiation call or if the negotiation fails, you will choose to attack.
After doing all this, Qinghai Chuantang was still very conscious and wrapped duct tape around his hands.

Before Judy could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a man: "Don't pretend, speak Japanese." β
After a moment of silence, Judy began to speak in Japanese, pretending to be scared.
"What is the purpose of your hostage-taking? If it's just for robbery, you don't have to do it, right? β
"It's none of your business."
The man pulled out a chair and sat down, "As long as you don't play any tricks, it won't hurt you." β
All they want is a bargaining chip that they can negotiate face-to-face with the police β a hostage exchange.
Although the elderly are easy to restrict, they are an extremely unstable factor.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to use the old man as a bargaining chip in exchange for Shizuda Chiwang.
The safety of the hostages' lives has always come first, so they dare not act rashly.
What's more, they also stated in advance that they had a bomb strapped to their bodies, and if the police chose to attack them, they would choose to die together.
If such a thing really happens, then the prestige and trust of the police among the people will naturally be greatly reduced.
So compared to the current situation, they are at an advantage.
After the woman fumbled on her, she did not find anything like a firearm.
So he tied her hands with duct tape, and deliberately wrapped around her a few more times to prevent her from breaking free from the sneak attack while she was unprepared.
In addition to this, the woman took her mobile phone.
The man took out his phone and placed it on the table, and the interface on it showed that the phone was being recorded.
"Do you know how we've come through for the past nine years? Now, the murderer of the shovel man has reappeared, indicating that my father was wronged. β
However, Chiwang Shizuda chose to remain silent and even turned his head to the side.
At this time, the phone rings.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Fujiike from the Search Lesson. Who are you? β
"Arimiko."
"Miss Aramiko. Is anyone hurt over there? β
"Not yet."
"Miss Aramiko," Fujiike said with a slight smile in his voice, "you seem to be calm right now. Why don't we join forces and settle this matter calmly? β
After hearing the other party's words, Arimiko smiled.
"The police are not to be trusted. You should be busy solving other cases now, and the shovel man from nine years ago has reappeared. β
"Catch that murderer, that's what we're asking for. If we don't catch the killer, every hour, we'll kill a hostage. β
Armiko said.
"If you're going to do that, we're going to have to go on the attack."
"Then I'll detonate the bomb strapped to me, too. If you think you're bluffing, you can rush in. β
After saying that, Arimiko repeated the previous request again.
Before the other party can answer, hang up the phone.
Nine years ago, on August 1, the shovel man began his first crime.
The victim, Yoshiko Sashi, was a 14-year-old junior high school student and the granddaughter of a politician.
So at that time, it caused a big sensation in society.
Disappeared on the way out of school, and the next morning, was found buried in the woods.
A hand stretched out, and at one side, the shovel stood like a tombstone.
The cause of death was an injury to the inside of the skull caused by head trauma, which was a blow to the back of the head with a shovel.
There are no witnesses and no clues.
The second offense was committed five days later, on August 6.
The victim's name was "Komori Kikue", who was 50 years old at the time, and the cause of death was the same as the former, and the body was found in a green space in the park.
The murder weapon used, as well as the manner in which the body was buried, were identical to those used in the first case.
Therefore, the search headquarters concluded that it was a serial hunt homicide case.
In the second case, although the surveillance recorded a certain amount of footage, the appearance of the murderer was not photographed.
Just judging from the body shape, it can be concluded that the other party is a man.
The third case was two weeks later, on August 20.
The victim was the criminal police officer who investigated the case: "Tsukazu Nanda" of the search section.
Although the surveillance camera filmed the crime, it was still unable to identify the murderer.
The murderer, who had already killed two people, seemed to be provocative, and took the "criminal police" as the target of a third person.
A month after the third case, the police arrested Ko Shou Yoji.
Generally speaking, if it is a serial hunt for murder, it will not choose the person close to you as a target.
But after the interrogation of Gu Shou Yoji, he confessed, so he was arrested.
But in court, Yoji Komori suddenly asserted his innocence.
In the end, the court handed down the death sentence and is now in prison.
"The one who was arrested as a murderer was the husband of the victim in the second case, Gu Shou Jujiang. You are the children of both of them. β
Qinghai Chuantang was a little glad that he had seen a report on the shovel man's case on the Internet.
"So, you want to prove your father's innocence, right?"
The man's name is "Komori Kazunei", and the woman's name is "Komori Yumiko", which is a sister-brother relationship.
And their father is the serial murderer in the "Shovel Man Hunting Murder Incident" broadcast in the previous news - Gu Shou Yoji.
They firmly believe that their father was wronged.
And Shizuda Chiwang is a key witness for this.
As long as she has her testimony and the evidence in her own hands, she can overturn the case for her father.
This is what the two of them have dreamed of for countless days and nights.
"You're right."
Gu Shou and Cheng picked up their mobile phones and found a photo from the album, which was a group photo of the four of them.
Two of them are very familiar, and the remaining two should be their parents.
The family is smiling happily, and the picture looks very harmonious and beautiful.
Judging from the way the Furumori couple were dressed and the photo environment, they were supposed to run a bakery before.
"There's no way my father could have killed my mother, they have such a good relationship!"
Gu Shou and Cheng took the mobile phone to Shizuda Qianwang again, and said sharply: "It was definitely not my father who killed him!" β
Shizuta Chiwang still turned his head to the side and didn't say a word.
"The police who are at an impasse in the investigation, in order not to lose trust among the people, fabricated evidence and framed an innocent person."
Arimiko looked at Chiwang Shizuda and said with a little choked up: "When the murderer committed the crime for the third time, my father was far away from the crime scene and was ticketed for speeding. β
"When my father remembered this, we immediately went to the Ministry of Transportation to inquire."
"They say there's no record at all!"
Gu Shou and Cheng answered the call to complete it, and their emotions obviously became extremely excited: "It was they who deleted the record, the purpose was to erase the father's alibi!" β
Gu Shou Yoji's confession was the key to his arrest.
But if a person doesn't let him sleep for two weeks and interrogates him all the time, in that state, even a rabbit will say that he is a tiger.
"If it's a traffic violation, there should be a copy of the ticket, right?"
"That's right."
Arimiko took a step forward, looked at Qinghai Chuantang and said, "We searched desperately, but we didn't find it until the end of the verdict. In this way, the father was sentenced to death. β
But even so, in the past nine years, she has still insisted on searching, and has never stopped for a moment.
I just thought that as long as I tried harder to find it, I could let my father clear his grievances earlier.
Even if he was rummaging through the garbage and being treated coldly by the people around him, he insisted on it.
Finally, in the books of the second-hand bookstore sold by Yoji Komori, the ticket was found.
"Do you know how much we have suffered to finally find it?"
Aramiko's eyes are very moist.
She took the book out of her bag, found the ticket, and walked over to Chiwang Shizuda.
"Back then, you were the one who handled my father's speeding case."
Shizuda Chiwang was finally willing to face it.
And everything written on it is exactly the same as my own handwriting.
"You could have stood up and testified for your father and told everyone that he was wronged. But no! β
"You just choose to watch and watch him go to jail. Now, what else do you have to say? β
Don't you really remember?
"I issue a lot of fines every day at the Ministry of Transportation, and I don't remember if I contacted him at the time of the crime."
Arimiko sneered, then carefully put the ticket aside.
"Your superiors gave you orders, didn't you?"
Shizuda Chiwang lowered his head and did not answer.
In the past nine years, Gu Shouyoji has finally gone from the initial struggle to the final abandonment.
But even so, the two sisters and brothers never thought of giving up for a moment, desperately trying to get justice for their father and return his innocence.
Now, doctors tell them that their father has few days left.
Time is running out of the corner.
