Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Search for Breath in the Sea

According to Sal Serling, a geochemist at the University of Utah in the United States, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, studies have shown that 85% of the changes in hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in hair are determined by local drinking water. By analyzing the length and duration of hair growth, it is possible to determine where the subject has lived in recent weeks or even years.

This technique is known as "isotope tracing".

No detail should be overlooked, even if it's an inconspicuous hair.

The results of the analysis of the report showed that a large number of lead carbonate, cadmium sulfide, cobalt oxide, arsenic acid were detected.

And these, in general, are isotopes used in colorants.

The victim was a teacher, so it couldn't have been his.

According to the results of the survey of Kiyohara's Issui family, in addition to his parents, he also has a younger brother named Kiyohara Ichiji who was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year.

In the industry, he is a well-known painter, and he has also held several exhibitions of his own personal paintings.

Among them, there is a painting called "Death Figuration", which is a bit abrupt compared to the works of the same period. But after staring at it for a long time, there was a strange feeling, as if the person who fell into the abyss on the painting had become himself.

Qinghai Chuantang clicked on the photo and zoomed in to observe.

"The direction of the oil paint is from left to right. It can be seen that the other party is a left-handed hand. ”

After a pause, Qinghai Chuantang turned his head to look at the person behind him, "This is not scanned and uploaded, how can you see it so clearly?" ”

It's as if you have your own magnifying glass.

"If you look closely, it's not hard to see."

Some people like to look at the big picture, and some people prefer to look at the details.

It's like love: some people seem to be in line with faker, while others seem to be with Mai Sakurajima.

"Whenever I saw it, I felt like I had goosebumps. Why did you come up with the painting "Death Representation"? Is there any deep meaning in it? ”

In Kiyohara's solo exhibition, there are his proud paintings. Perhaps because there was no fanfare, and because of the late time, there were not too many people who came to admire it.

However, this did not affect some journalists.

"One of the things that human beings have to go through all the time is from birth to death. It's just an intermediate process, which is relatively long for some people, but only a moment for others. I think death is actually a very beautiful thing. ”

Kazuji Kiyohara was answering questions from reporters, and his brother was also at the exhibition.

In addition to the clothes, just by looking at their appearance, they only feel that the two are very similar, as if they were carved out of a mold.

"Is it good?"

"Yes."

Kiyohara Ichiji nodded and smiled, "Death is fair, isn't it?" At least no one has the right to resist death. It's like the river of time, no one can stop it from pausing, and we will all grow old in the river of time until we ......"

"Mr. Ichiji."

A voice appeared to interrupt his speech.

Twilight Thirteen showed his ID and said, "Mr. Ichiji, please come with us now." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm Kiyohara Ichisui, and he's Kiyohara Ichiji."

Kiyohara Ichisui wears a khaki trench coat, and Kiyohara Kazuji wears a black trench coat.

"Really, can't you just wear a nameplate on your body?"

Twilight Thirteen grumbled quietly.

Kiyohara Kazuji was handcuffed and taken away, he didn't have any struggle, but with a slight smile on his face, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't seem to know what he was going to face.

Or, maybe he had already thought about this day, so he had already prepared a plan to deal with it.

Within 48 hours of the emergency arrest, the police will conduct a preliminary interrogation to collect evidence. If there is insufficient evidence within 48 hours, he must be released.

The countdown is 48 hours, and they must have this time to make him confess.

Otherwise......

As the minutes passed, Kiyohara Ichiji drank the water in his cup unhurriedly. At the moment when he put the cup down, Takagi hurriedly took it.

"The water is almost gone, I'll go get you some more."

"Mr. Officer, do you want to get your fingerprints taken?"

Kiyohara Ichiji saw the other party's intentions, smiled and stretched out his hands, showing him: "I'm really sorry, in our line of work, sometimes it's easy to rub off some fingerprints after doing it for a long time." ”

No wonder he looks fearless.

Skin metabolism has a certain cycle, so fingerprints can be restored. But the wait is too long, and they just can't afford to wait. If he is let go this time, then there is no guarantee that he will be caught again next time.

Drinking glasses, pens, magazines...... Wait a minute.

Extracting the corresponding fingerprints on multiple items and putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle may result in a complete picture.

When all the numbers went to zero, the expected result did not come. This means that they must let him go, although they are unwilling.

Kiyohara Ichiji walked outside the door, saw Kawanishi Muji, and couldn't help but smile: "I said Mr. Officer, can you please get out of the way?" It's been 48 hours, and you have no right to keep me. ”

Instead of speaking, Kawanishi handed him a report.

Qingyuan First Division took a look and saw that the identification results showed that 98% of the fingerprints detected at the scene were consistent.

"W-How is this possible?" Kiyohara Kazuji looked incredulous, "It can't be like this!" ”

"Mr. Ichiji, I think you've watched too many TV series or movies. If you could chop off all your fingers, maybe there wouldn't be such a problem. Of course, you don't have a chance to do that either. ”

As he spoke, Kawanishi Kiki handcuffed the other party's hand and took him away.

Most of the evildoers will not face it calmly, they will have a fluke mentality, and some will even try to escape the punishment of the law. As everyone knows, at the moment when he chose to step into the abyss, the demon was already staring at him behind him, devouring him little by little.

Whether it is Qingyuan Yishui, or Qingyuan Yisi, or Qingyuan Pharmaceutical, they can't escape.

"KingAgroot Pharmaceutical's stock price plummeted, and now it has become a junk stock ......"

Qinghai Chuantang stretched and turned off the TV.

Everything is just self-defeating.

On the same day, a man's body was found in the manhole cover near the Hetian Suburban Hospital.

The witness was a cleaner at the hospital. Because it is rare to clean it once in ten years, it is usually bypassed, and it is not noticed at all.

And this is also the first time in ten years that he has started manhole covers.

The corpse has been waxed all over.

There is no abnormality in appearance, and according to the state of the teeth and the width of the hip bone, it should be 10 generations. There is blood left in the nails, most likely the murderer's.

Broken ribs, ruptured liver. According to the CT scan, the whole body was crushed without intact bones. He was beaten or beaten many times by a group before his death.

In the end, the forensic doctor gave the result of ten years.

Ten years ago, the student in the disappearance of Jokawa High School was named Taketa Takayanagi.

The informant is his younger brother Kosho Takayanagi.

"I still remember this case vividly. The two brothers were imprisoned for murder by their father, and their mother died early, leaving only the two brothers to be sent to an orphanage. Later, when I went to school, my brother was often bullied because of this incident, but unfortunately I only learned about it later. If we had known to stop it earlier, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened......"

With that, Twilight Thirteen sighed.

Being a police officer is like this, and you will always face too much helplessness.

Twilight Thirteen looked at the information and muttered to herself, "Hasei Sakae? It seems to be the person who bullied him before. Unexpectedly, when I grew up, I would work at Tsuruta Suburban Hospital. Is it ......?"

Now, ten years later, Sakae Hasei is 23 years old. He also has a younger brother named Lime Hase.

At the time of Taketa Takayanagi's disappearance, he was questioned by the police.

"Sichuan West, immediately go with me to Hetian Suburban Hospital!"

Not long after the police announced the news, there was a heated discussion on the Internet.

Fear, fear, or sympathy.

A day later, Qinghai Chuantang's social page suddenly received a private message.

"I'm Weiyou's father, have you seen Weiyou? She hasn't been home for three days and I haven't been able to reach her since yesterday. ”

The avatar is a young and beautiful girl named Kuwabara Miyu.

Qinghai Chuantang and she are not too familiar with her, but they just happened to add the same painting forum and chatted a few words.

After hesitating for a moment, Qinghai Chuantang replied: "Perhaps, is there anything I can do to help?" You can meet and talk in detail. ”

In 2016, the Japanese National Police Bureau calculated that more than 33,000 young people in their 10th to 20th generations had been reported missing to national police stations in one year.

More than 70% of people can find it within a week, and more than 22% of people will spend more than a month, more than a year, or even never find it again.

I didn't go home for three days, and I couldn't get in touch until yesterday. It is likely that it has been ...... But that doesn't mean there is no silver lining.

"If you can, it's 2 p.m. today, Poirot's coffee shop, is that okay? Black coat. ”

And now, the time is 12:42.

Qinghai Chuantang naturally agreed.

Kuwabara Miyu, what kind of person is he?

I like to draw, I like to go along with each other and tell some lies so that I can fit into the group.

At least from the statements in the forum group, such a conclusion can be drawn for the time being.

Kuwabara Yuaki, Miyu's father, was a forensic doctor.

Because he was too busy with work, he didn't see his wife for the last time before leaving, and his daughter also held a grudge against him, and the mode of getting along between father and daughter gradually became marginalized.

Three days ago, Weiyou said that he went to sleep at a friend's house.

A day earlier, the school approached him and said that his attendance was too low and that he had not come to school for several days.

After walking out of the school gate, Kuwabara Yuko texted his daughter and got a reply, telling him not to worry, but he always felt that something was weird.

Today, Yuaki Kuwabara was genuinely worried about his daughter, so he entered her room and found her laptop locked in a drawer.

Through the remaining social records, send messages one by one to ask if you have seen your daughter, or if you can provide relevant clues.

But most of the news is lost in the sea.
