Chapter 127: Undocumented Unsolved Cases
Lin Shinichi will Miss Narumi Asai ... Forehead... Sir, call aside.
And colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department are still busy.
In fact, the battle has long been over, because the Black Iwa and Kawashima criminal groups say that they are "groups", but in fact, they only import a small amount of goods from overseas for decentralized sales, and at most they are a slightly larger middleman.
The scale is small, the manpower is small, the firepower is limited, the discipline is lax, and the two leaders can even turn against each other for the election of the village head, and the internal management is extremely poor.
Lin Xinyi was initially worried that Moon Shadow Island would be the kind of Tazhai Village, where every household was controlled, every household was peddling, and everyone was a criminal.
But the truth is that Moon Shadow Island is inhabited by a school of unstable trash fish.
Therefore, under the full force of the Metropolitan Police Department, these criminals were quickly arrested.
The main task they are busy with now is to put the seized loot in order, match the embarrassed appearance of the criminals in handcuffs and bow their heads to line up, and take a perfect propaganda photo that can make the headlines of the newspaper.
"Stand still! Stand still!"
"Line up and take pictures right away!"
Kuroiwa, the original invincible village head, and Kawashima, the owner of the business, are like monkeys in a circus at the moment, driven to stand obediently.
Their faces were completely bloodless, but their mouths were not idle:
"Bastard! Kawashima, you incompetent guy, you must have been found out about the smuggling funds you managed! ”
"Phew! Heiyan, shirk responsibility as soon as something happens, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time! If you had abdicated early and made me the boss, would something like this happen today? ”
The two rivals who were waiting to "take a family photo" were forced to be close to each other and quarreled.
If it weren't for the handcuffs and the police watching, they might have been able to fight each other themselves.
"It's ridiculous..."
Asai Narumi saw it with pleasure and emotion:
The enemy he couldn't shake despite all his efforts was reduced to such a ridiculous appearance in an instant.
"Narumi Asai?"
Lin Xinyi interrupted Dr. Asai's distraction:
"You were adopted by the Asai family 12 years ago, the surviving child of the Aso family, right?"
"I—" Asai Narumi came back to his senses.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking that since Lin Xinyi could ask this question, it might not make sense to hide it any longer:
"Yes, I'm the Asai Narumi you said."
"Male?" Lin Xinyi emphasized.
"Hmm—" Dr. Asai lowered his head in embarrassment.
It looks like there are still some water lotus flowers that are too shy to the cold wind.
Lin Xinyi: "......"
Never mind... Boys should also have the freedom to dress... Transgender Lives Matter.
Lin Xinyi controlled the onset of "straight male cancer" and controlled his mouth that subconsciously wanted to say something.
Then, he straightened his mind and went straight to the point:
"Asai Narumi, do you know why I came to you?"
Asai Narumi shook his head in confusion:
He didn't know why Lin Xinyi wanted to find him.
Could it be that while the Metropolitan Police Department was investigating the smuggling of goods, it discovered the tragedy of the Aso family 12 years ago, and also investigated the fact that he was lurking back to Moon Shadow Island to work?
Case... Will his murder plan also be realized by the police?
Asai Narumi suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart:
But Lin Xinyi didn't mention these things he was worried about at all, nor did he mention the existence of the invitation, but just said his intention straight to the point:
"I'm here to find out the truth about your family's death."
"There's obviously something wrong with this case."
He flipped through the file kept in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the file read:
"Keiji Aso, male, pianist, resident of Moon Shadow Island, died of self-immolation 12 years ago."
"According to eyewitnesses, he killed his wife and daughter before he died, set a fire to his own house, and ended up sitting in a burning house while playing 'Moonlight' while waiting to be burned to death."
Lin Xinyi continued while observing the change in Asai Narumi's heavy expression:
"Because of such eyewitness testimony, the case was characterized as 'suicide after a psychotic homicide.'"
"But this conclusion seems very problematic now, and the biggest problem is..."
"There were four witnesses who gave testimony at that time:"
"They are, Ken Nishimoto, Isamu Kameyama, Hideo Kawashima, and Tatsuji Kuroiwa."
The four witnesses at that time happened to be the four traffickers who had already been exposed.
Having the four of them testify as witnesses is like letting a rat run the granary and a hungry wolf to shepherd the sheep, which sounds a bit of black humor.
"It is clear that their testimony is all false."
"Keiji Aso is not some homicidal maniac, he is..."
"He's a victim!" Asai Narumi picked up with some excitement:
"It was Nishimoto, Kameyama, Kawashima, and Kuroiwa who forced my father to smuggle for them, and my father wanted to quit, so they locked my father, mother, and sister in the house and burned them to death!"
He said this with his teeth clenched, his beautiful face full of anger and distortion.
"You really know what's going on..."
Lin Xinyi's gaze at Asai Narumi was a little subtle.
He also did not reveal those speculations and ideas, but focused more on the investigation of Keiji Aso's case:
"How did you know these details?"
"Could it be that you have evidence in your hands that can prove that Kuroiwa, Kawashima and others killed people?"
"No... I didn't. ”
"If there was any evidence, I would have gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to report them."
Asai Narumi let out a long sigh and gave an answer that made Lin Shinichi a little disappointed.
"The reason why I know the inside story is because Isamu Kameyama told me."
"The former village chief who died of a heart attack two years ago, Isamu Kameyama?"
"Yes."
"Why did he take the initiative to tell you this?"
"I just came to Moonshadow Island, and the old guy thought I was beautiful and wanted to do something to me... Not so good things. ”
"As a result, he found out that I was a man, and I was still the son of Keiji Aso, and he was so scared that he had a heart attack and was about to breathe..."
"Before he died, he told me all the things that happened."
Lin Xinyi: "......"
I didn't expect it to be like this...
But if you think about it, it's normal to be scared in that situation.
If you get old and have a bad heart, you really can't bear it.
"Because Isamu Kameyama's identity is sensitive, his body was sent to Tokyo for an autopsy and autopsy, and it was confirmed that the cause of death was indeed a heart attack."
"You should be able to find out about that."
may be worried that Lin Xinyi will suspect that he is murderous, and Asai Narumi also specially explained.
And Lin Xinyi also didn't pursue too much on this issue, but frowned and said:
"You don't have any evidence here, so it's hard to investigate this case."
"Those dealers, I'm afraid they won't confess so easily."
The case of trafficking was a combination of human stolen goods, and it has now been solved.
But the murder case of Keiji Aso's family was not so easy to break through.
If this case is placed in China, it will be easy to handle.
After all, smuggling goods in China is a felony, and just according to the batch of goods caught in the library yesterday, it is enough to send Kuroiwa, Kawashima and others to the guillotine.
People can't die twice, so if they die anyway, most of these dealers will also admit to the murder by the way.
Available in the book...
According to article 138 of the Penal Code, anyone who imports, manufactures, sells or possesses goods for the purpose of sale shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not less than one month but not more than seven years.
That's right... If it's just a peddler, the maximum penalty is seven years.
Just think about it, in the case of squatting for a few years to come out...
How could Kuroiwa, Kawashima, and Nishimoto admit to the crime of killing Keiji Aso, and let themselves be convicted of intentional homicide one more time, resulting in a double sentence?
Those bastards will definitely bite the bullet and resolutely refuse to admit to murder.
Then, if you want to seek justice for Keiji Aso, Lin Xinyi has to solve a case from twelve years ago:
"But the police who were in charge of investigating the case twelve years ago easily listened to the eyewitness testimony of Kuroiwa, Kawashima and others."
"Plus at the time... Well, there is no need to 'at that time', the Metropolitan Police Department's investigative capacity has always been very limited. ”
"Without carefully investigating the scene of the fire and without conducting a systematic and professional autopsy, they hastily closed the case as a 'suicide' based on the testimony of the so-called eyewitnesses."
Speaking of this, Lin Xinyi was angry and helpless:
At that time, the police who handled the case had neither the ability nor the attitude, and even less the professional ethics.
Even this shocking case involving three lives can be dealt with as if it were summer homework assigned by the teacher.
The result?
There was no physical evidence collected at the scene, no autopsy records of a single word, just a few false testimonies...
The entire dossier of Keiji Aso's case looks as blank as the summer vacation workbook before the last day of school!
"There was not a single trace of physical evidence left, and the body was said to have been cremated into ashes and buried afterwards in accordance with custom."
"Twelve years have passed, and it is estimated that the fire scene has long been razed to the ground and no longer exists."
"This case is indeed very difficult to investigate."
Lin Xinyi's expression was extremely solemn.
There is no physical evidence, no scene, no body in this case, and to be honest...
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no place for forensic medicine to play a role.
And Asai Narumi also understood Lin Xinyi's difficulties:
This kind of unsolved case that has been delayed for 12 years, it is difficult for him to help, and the result may be disappointing.
But Asai was not disappointed.
Because, in the midst of this 2-year entanglement and pain, he wants to see in his heart...
In fact, he is such a righteous hero who can stop him from killing people and is willing to help him uphold justice.
Now, this righteous hero has finally arrived.
Someone finally reached out to him in the darkness and pulled him back from his death path to blood and sin.
"It's okay, Mr. Lin..."
"Even if I can't find out the results, I'll accept it."
Asai Narumi sighed deeply, his face showing relief.
Of course, he didn't completely let go of his hatred, but the enemies were already in the hands of the police, and it was too late to say anything.
Perhaps, this is the blessing of his father in heaven... I want him to let go of his hatred and live his life.
Narumi Asai tries hard to make himself relieved and forget about revenge...
But Lin Xinyi said to him with a firm face:
"No, we have to find out the results!"
"For the sake of those three dead, no matter how difficult it is, I have to find a way to get those three bastards to be punished!"
There was a determination in his tone.
Asai Narumi couldn't understand why this Mr. Lin would be so determined, persistent, and selfless for the sake of three lives that he had never known and had long since passed away.
But that's what Lin Xinyi does as a police officer.
Asai Narumi couldn't help but be a little touched, and he who was trying to turn the page on the past just now, couldn't help but take the initiative to ask:
"Mr. Lin, do you have a way to get those three guys to confess?"
"There is a way."
"At the very least, we've all identified the suspects, and all that's left is to get them to confess through interrogation."
"And interrogation of such a thing... In cases where there is only one suspect, the interrogation is often difficult. ”
"But this time there are three suspects, so it's much easier."
Lin Xinyi told his thoughts.
And Asai Narumi was a bright eye, and told a trial killing trick that basically everyone knows:
"Prisoner's Dilemma?"
