Chapter 309: Department Store Incident
At the pasta restaurant on the street, Uncle Maori sat opposite Twilight with a cigarette in his mouth, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his brows were constantly beating, and he looked annoyed.
"You don't need to do that even if it's to catch a suspect, right?"
The uncle said depressedly: "The announced suspect is about 150 cm tall, and when you see my figure, you know that I am not!" ”
Twilight smiled awkwardly, "Because it looks so suspicious." ”
"yes," Sato said embarrassedly, "I think it's a little dangerous, so I ......"
"I ......" the uncle choked and raised his face with a weak heart, "What words?" I just picked up a ballpoint pen and wanted to change it back......"
"This case," Gao Cheng squeezed the uncle aside and asked curiously, "Can you elaborate on it?" Too much detailed information was also released on television. ”
"Oh," Twilight reacted, and quickly said, "Takagi, take out the pictures of the three victims...... The gangsters attacked three young girls, and the only thing they had in common at the time of the crime was that they were wearing very fashionable clothes......"
Gao Cheng took 3 photos to view.
Silver lipstick, dark skin, I can't help but think of that guy in Hattori when I look at it......
"Why is it all black like this? Could it be that gangsters have a grudge against dark-skinned people? ”
"Huh?" Sato smiled wryly, "They're not dark-skinned...... These are Shibuya 109 babes, and this kind of makeup is popular among young girls now......"
"Really?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "It's almost dark chocolate." ”
"Ahem!" Twilight coughed heavily, and said, "Takagi, let's talk about the specific situation again." ”
"Yes," Takagi explained, looking at the photo, "The first thing that was attacked was Miss Ryoko Mizutani, two weeks ago, when she stopped her car to wait for a red light, she was suddenly chased from behind by a car, and she got out of the car to theorize but was beaten with a metal bat by the gangsters......"
"Miss Endo Nito, who was attacked next, was also attacked with a metal bat when she walked out of the bathroom in the park late at night ten days ago......"
"Finally, Miss Ishiguro Michiko, who was attacked yesterday, drove to the phone booth to make a call because her mobile phone was out of battery, and when she walked out of the phone booth, she was beaten by gangsters......"
"Phone booth?" Uncle Maori twitched the corner of his eyes, "Is it difficult to ......"
"Yes, it was the phone booth that subdued you just now," Twilight nodded, "It's good that all three of them survived, but the trouble is that they have nothing to do with anything other than being stylish, and they all say that they don't remember offending anyone, which is really nerve-wracking." ”
Gao Cheng put the three photos together, pointed to the chocolate-skinned girl sitting in front of the toilet in the middle and asked, "This person is wearing a man's coat...... Did she have any companions around at the time? ”
"No," Takagi responded, "I took it off for her when I arrived at the scene of the crime, because she was only wearing a sleeveless dress and looked cold......"
"It's strange, why did she run to the park to go to the toilet in such thin clothes late at night?"
"This ...... She didn't say that the coat had been stolen......"
Takagi frowned and became concerned.
"Speaking of which, because this girl has been mentally unstable since the accident, we haven't officially questioned her yet......"
"Humph!" Uncle Maori glanced at Gao Cheng and said angrily, "Recently, girls have been wearing thin clothes, what's so strange?" ”
"Even if it's fashionable, you don't have to dress like this and run to the park alone late at night...... If there is no mistake, there may be two common points," Gao Cheng nodded lightly on the table, his eyes blazing, "The first is the 109 hot girl dressing up, and the second is the car ......"
"The car?" The uncle was stunned.
"I see," Conan interjected cutely, "because she was in a warm car, and she was attacked by gangsters when she was about to go back to the bathroom after going to the bathroom, right, Brother Joto?" ”
Gao Cheng's face collapsed, and he gave Conan a blaster in his mind.
"So," Twilight reacted, "the victims of the first and third incidents were also attacked after getting out of the car...... It seems necessary to find a second victim to confirm the ......"
"However," Gao Cheng continued with his chin propped up, "there is still no way to determine the motive of the gangsters based on these two points...... Black makeup, car...... Could it be that the gangsters have been stimulated? I've also come across a case in Izu where the murderer kept killing girls with the same hair as his ex-girlfriend because he was hurt by his ex-girlfriend......"
"When you say that," Uncle Maori recalled, "I also thought of a similar case, a gangster who hit a high school girl with a car and escaped, and I remember it happened before I became a criminal policeman......"
Twilight's face was terrifying, and she stood up suddenly, "I think we'd better go back and investigate first!" Maori, brother Joto, I'm causing you trouble. ”
"Huh?"
Gao Cheng looked at Twilight, who reacted violently, in confusion: "Do you want to continue to trap?" ”
"No, there's no need to trap again," Twilight said in a deep voice, "and we'll find a few more victims to investigate in detail......
Yuan Zi walked into the restaurant with a large bag and a small bag, and happened to meet Twilight and his party who were leaving, and noticed Gao Cheng sitting with Conan, and his face froze: "Are you all here?" Isn't something happening again......"
"Sister Yuanzi?" Conan saw that there was only one garden, and said strangely, "What about Sister Xiaolan?" Isn't she supposed to be with you? ”
"She said she was going to the bathroom and told me to come to this store to find you first," Yuan Zi took out her mobile phone and called Xiaolan, "Hey, Xiaolan, are you okay...... The target has appeared......"
"The goal? What is the goal? Gao Cheng looked at the garden in a daze, noticed the rings, bracelets and necklaces that the garden was wearing, and was slightly stunned.
The girls in the photo just now do look the same......
"What?" The garden suddenly said loudly, "You can't find the exit?" So where are you now? Underground parking? Please, I've been defeated by you road idiot, I'll go find you right away......"
"Wait a minute, Yuanzi," Gao Cheng interrupted as he got up, "where did you get all the necklaces and rings on your hands?" ”
"These," Yuan Zi raised his wrist, "This is sent by the department store, they are doing millennial special sales, as long as you take the invoice to the exit to check, you can choose a gift you like for every 10,000 yuan......
"Huh?" Twilight looked at the garden suspiciously, paused in a hurry, and exclaimed, "Isn't this the one who got the ornaments that the victims were wearing?" ”
"Yes, indeed," Takagi said with a photo, "not all three, but all three of them wear this ornament!" ”
"So, all three of them are customers of the same department store!"
"Huh?" Yuan Zi held his phone blankly, "Sure enough, something happened?" ”
……
In the underground parking lot of the cup department store, a young woman dressed as a 109 hot girl fell between the cars with her head covered in blood, her back against the wall, her godless eyes glared at the boss, and there was a slippery blood mark on the wall behind her.
"Click!"
The on-site identification personnel stored evidence, the flashing lights flashed, and the crowd gradually gathered outside the blockade.
"The victim's name is Tae Lanzawa, 20 years old, a former clerk at the department store, who was discharged a year ago and has no ...... job," Takagi reported.
"The gangsters are finally here," Twilight said solemnly, looking at the corpse, "It's all girls dressed like this, and this happens to be the underground parking lot of a department store, and it's also about cars......"
Gao Cheng led Manguno to stand behind, silently looked at the corpse, and turned to Yuan Zi and Xiaolan, who were still a little scared next to them.
"Anyway, why did you all get here today?"
"Of course I want to buy something," Yuan Zi said with a red face, "I want to buy a sweater for someone I like, and it's hard to choose alone." ”
"Oh, ...... buy clothes for the people you like" Gao Cheng nodded habitually, instantly frozen, "Huh?!" ”
"Toe!" A young man suddenly broke through the police blockade crying and looked at the girl's body in the corner in pain, "Duohui! What the hell are you cops doing to eat?! That gangster who committed crimes in a row, why didn't he catch him earlier! The reason why Duohui died was because of you! A bunch of rice buckets! ”
Gao Cheng looked back at the hysterical youth, and the twilight face of the young man became terrifying again, and he fell to the ground with his head covered in pain.
"Officer Twilight?"
"What's wrong, police department?!" Takagi hurriedly held Twilight.
"I'm fine," Twilight shook her head, grimly, "and keep investigating." ”
Gao Cheng looked at Twilight with an irritated look, and asked Uncle Maori in a low voice, "Did anything happen to Officer Twilight before?" It's weird from the moment you mentioned the high school girl who was hit......"
The uncle was confused: "I don't know, they all say that it happened before I became a criminal policeman." ”
"The police department," Takagi explained to Twilight as he looked at the young man who was sad and unscrupulous, "this person is the victim's boyfriend, Noriyuki Shirakawa, and I heard that he met at this department store today to take the victim to his father...... Coincidentally, his father was the owner of the department store, and the three of them had planned to dine in the French restaurant where he was the chef......"
Sato answered: "It seems that the deceased was about to meet from the parking lot to the restaurant after getting out of the car, but was killed by the murderer. ”
"That's how it should be."
Twilight groaned and looked at the deceased's boyfriend, Noriyuki Shirakawa, and there was a girl next to him comforting her.
"Who's that woman?"
"It's a waitress at the restaurant where Noriyuki Shirakawa works, and she's also his college classmate, so I've heard that Shirakawa often talks to her about something......"
"Discuss?" Gao Cheng looked at the intimate appearance of young men and women, and said suspiciously, "Is it really just an ordinary classmate relationship?" ”
"Well," Takagi said with a smile, "I heard her say that Mr. Shirakawa's father seems to be very opposed to him associating with Miss Tae, who was killed......"
"Dressed up so exaggerated to come to the meeting, no matter who you are, you will object," Uncle Maori muttered, unable to stand being stolen by Gao Cheng, and asked Xiaolan, the first discoverer, "Xiaolan, did you see any suspicious characters before you found the body?" ”
"There was no suspicious person, only one guard passed me."
"Guards?"
Gao Cheng was squatting next to the corpse to check it, and paused when he heard this: "Is it the guard here?" ”
Xiaolan nodded and said, "Well, I just saw a guard about forty years old at the entrance of this parking lot......"
"I think she's talking about me." A guard uncle walked out of the crowd and said, "I left my job because I was going to the bathroom, and the gangster must have taken advantage of that time to commit murder......"
"Humph!" The owner of the department store, a short middle-aged man with glasses, said coldly, "I think this case is committed by you, right?" I remember that half a year ago you were still working as a guard in our hostile department store...... Could it be that the other party sent you to destroy the image of our company? ”
The guard said anxiously: "I didn't! It was all half a year ago......"
"Who knows?" The middle-aged man turned to his son Shirakawa Kiyuki with a straight face, "You know that you are powerful now, you must find a good girl with no bad records in the future!" ”
Shirakawa Kiyuki gritted his teeth and shed tears: "Dad! ”
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over everyone present, if there was only this one incident, the suspect would be quite obvious.
There is a possibility of a motive for the killing, a department store owner who is dissatisfied with his son's girlfriend, a waitress who is a college classmate and colleague of Noriyuki Shirakawa and has an ambiguous relationship, it is not impossible for Noriyuki Shirakawa himself, and finally the guard......
In the previous cases, the police did not disclose the characteristics of the victim, and the victims were all customers of this department store, so the murderer is likely to be the same person.
Having been in contact with or witnessing the victim and related to the car......
The biggest suspect and the most convenient to commit the crime is the guard in the underground parking lot, but judging from his height, he does not meet the suspect's 150 centimeters......
"Excuse me, what do you mean by bad record?"
The waitress replied, "I think it refers to the accident that happened to Tae in this parking lot a year ago, and she was fired because she hit a little boy with her car......"
Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped.
A year ago, 109 babes who were driving were attacked one after another, and the people involved in the car accident were directly killed......
"Can you find out who the kid who was hit a year ago is?" Gao Cheng asked.
"I remember that the little boy's name seemed to be Akira Sakurai," Sato recalled, "I used to hear Yumi from the Ministry of Transportation say that the boy was waiting for his mother to come back from shopping, and suddenly rushed to the car with a soccer ball......
Takagi took the initiative to ask, "I'll ask Yumi about the accident." ”
Hearing this, Gao Cheng glanced at the guard, and asked at the twilight, "Also, is the murderer really only 150 centimeters?" Is it possible to make a mistake? ”
"Yes, it should be about 150 centimeters," Sato replied, "Except for the second girl who was knocked unconscious without seeing anyone, the other two people saw the gangsters with their heads covered, saying that the gangsters were about the same height as them, and we measured them at the police station, and they were all about 150 centimeters." ”
Gao Cheng frowned slightly.
Even if the guards are suspicious, the question of 150 cm height is always a mystery......
Sure enough, the best way is to try to lure, and it is simple, rude and more direct to catch the current criminals.
