Chapter 169: Red Line
"Did you see anything unusual at the time of the crime? This side window just looks out there. ”
"No," the man asked, after a pause, "by the way, officer, have you found out the cause of the sudden burn?" ”
"It's still under investigation."
When he finally left Jinsen's house, Gao Cheng walked to the intersection and couldn't help but look back.
This man is too suspicious, but he can't explain anything until the matter is clear, and all the people in the vicinity are suspects, and it is impossible to identify anyone without figuring out the cause of the fire.
After standing for a while, Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts and walked to the next house.
……
The next day, when Gao Cheng questioned the little girl who saw the red line, a police car stopped on the side of the street, and Utsumi stepped out of the car with a straight face.
"You asked me to investigate the information out, the reading volunteer is named Kanamori Ryuo, 42 years old, working in a nearby metal processing factory......"
Utsumi stuffed a stack of documents to Gao Cheng and said angrily: "You actually pretended to be a police officer to ask others for questioning, do you know that this is illegal?!" ”
"I didn't say I was a policeman, I just said that I would help you investigate the Inland Sea Police."
"You! I'm going to be miserable by you......"
"It's not a big deal."
Gao Cheng flipped through the information and said with a smile: "Compared to this, you should think about what to do with my commission fee, my fee is very expensive." ”
"Huh? Huh! ”
Utsumi was stunned for a moment, reacted and hurriedly caught up with Gao Cheng: "No, this case is okay if I didn't say it?" I don't have any money......"
"Have you ever heard of a half-detective?"
"Sister, please!"
Neihai was so anxious that he almost cried, and dragged Gao Cheng to death: "Sister really has no money, and it's not enough to repay the mortgage." ”
"Can I write a report and apply for funding?"
"Do you think it's that easy to apply for funding?"
The inland sea octopus wrapped around Gao Cheng's arm and refused to let go.
Gao Cheng couldn't pull out, so he had no choice but to stop and said, "You really don't think about it?" Now we are only one step away from the truth. ”
"Huh? You already know? ”
"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time before the truth is found, and that little girl sees not a red line, but a red laser ......"
Gao Cheng took a piece of cardboard and sketched a rough map of the area, including the location of the incident, the location where the little girl saw the red line, and several intersections.
Standing seriously under the corner mirror of an intersection, a black hole similar to the crime scene appeared on the warning board in Gao Cheng's sight, and there were also several scorched black marks on the pillar of the corner mirror.
"It's not that simple......
Gao Cheng looked up at the hole in the warning sign, and then at the Sakura River at the end of the alley.
Returning the information in his hand to the cardboard to Utsumi, who came up, he took out the chocolate from his pocket and ate a few pieces, Gao Cheng pressed his eyebrows and buried his head in thought, and his brain was running rapidly into a one-minute mode.
Without the need for cardboard, the virtual model of the entire area easily appeared in Gao Cheng's mind, and the details flashed one after another, the description of the Utsumi, the conversation of the nearby neighbors, including the conversation of Kanemori Ryuo, countless pictures shuttled and rotated around Gao Cheng, and finally all came together.
In the block model, several red lines start from the site of the crime on the Sakuragawa side and extend back.
The tip of the female statuette's breasts......
Stone duck eyes pierced in the river......
Billboards, advertisements, telephone poles......
Red threads converge on the corner mirror pillars, where there seems to be something installed, mirrors that reflect lasers.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Utsumi asked anxiously.
"There it is!" Gao Cheng ignored the shouts of the inland sea next to him, and suddenly looked back at the alley on the other side of the corner.
The same red line runs from the warning sign on the pillar of the corner mirror and falls straight on the street lamp on the other side, where there is a metalworking factory, where Ryuo Kanamori works.
Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and seeing that most of the minute had passed in a blink of an eye, he hurriedly left the inland sea and rushed to the street lamp.
The same red lines run through the windows on the top of the factory and into the interior.
The metal processing factory is still working hours, and many workers are cutting and welding at the huge machine tool, sparks are splashing, and the sound is quite harsh.
The director of the factory received Neihai with sweat: "Is there anything wrong with the police coming to us?" ”
"This," Utsumi looked at Gao Cheng, "to investigate a case......
"That delinquent boy was burned to death?"
"Uh......"
Gao Cheng walked alone in the workshop in the inland sea counterpart, and swept the steel frame on the roof of the factory without a trace, and several black spots could be clearly seen.
"Speaking of which," the employee behind a machine tool next to him saw Gao Cheng and asked, "It shouldn't have anything to do with our side, right?" ”
Gao Cheng turned around and found that it was the Kanesen Ryuo who had talked yesterday.
"Huh? Does Mr. Kinson work here? ”
"Yes, I usually volunteer after work," Ryuo Kanamori smiled reluctantly, "Has the cause of the human body fire been found?" It must be just for the sake of fireworks, right? ”
"Fireworks can't burn like that," Gao Cheng muttered, "maybe it's a supernatural phenomenon, and it has happened in some places." ”
"Really?" Kanamori Ryuo smiled, "Then there is no way to investigate." ”
"There is no way, even then we can only continue the investigation, unless the same natural fire occurs in the same place, the investigation can be completed, otherwise we will not be able to write a report at all."
Gao Cheng sighed helplessly, pulled Utsumi and said goodbye: "I'm bothering you, if you find anything, contact the police." ”
"Wait!" Utsumi was pulled out of the factory by Gao Cheng in a daze, and exclaimed angrily, "You are pretending to be a police officer again!" Sister, I'm the policeman, okay?! ”
"When did I impersonate a police officer?" Gao Cheng said inexplicably, "You are the one who showed them the documents." ”
"But the way you speak...... Anyone can mistake you for a police officer, right? I also said that I couldn't write a report. ”
"I'm not wrong, if you don't investigate clearly, you won't be able to write a report."
Utsumi's brows twitched fiercely: "Sister, don't worry about this with you first!" What about the truth? What exactly did you find? Why are you talking about the supernatural? Don't want to get the commission fee if you don't make it clear! ”
"Is there really a commission fee?"
Gao Cheng coughed lightly and explained as he walked: "I can't actually verify it, but if it's correct, the murderer should be that Jinsen Longnan." ”
"Ryuo Kanamori?"
"Let's wait until your police catch someone, I provoked him just now, and he should soon show his feet in the next few days." Gao Cheng added the metal processing factory to the wooden map, and specially marked those inflection points, and by the way, marked the route of the laser. 2k reading web
