Chapter 712: Death Message
"The presumed time of death is around 5 o'clock this evening, I was stabbed in the abdomen and another in the chest to fatally ......"
In the autumn leaf forest shrouded in night, when Gao Cheng arrived, the police had already controlled the scene, and there were not many people watching the excitement, only a few tourists who happened to be nearby.
"The identity of the deceased is not clear, and it seems that everything that can identify the identity has been taken by the prisoner......"
A murderer fell under a tree with a knife in his hand, and Officer Yamamura stood beside the corpse in a deliberate manner, waiting for the forensic personnel to work.
"Is there anything found nearby?"
"The police in the precinct found some tents where tourists were camping, and the other was this bloodstained notebook."
The criminal police at the scene of the investigation handed a notepad with a bloody cover to Yamamura: "It seems to be this person's notebook, and the name HOTUMI is written in Roman characters on it, and the notebook fell about 100 meters away from here......"
“HOTUMI?”
Yamamura raised an eyebrow and looked at the man's corpse.
"Is it a fool who can't even write the kanji of his own name? That face always looks a little silly......"
YUANZI FOLLOWED BEHIND GAO CHENG, AND WHEN HE HEARD THIS, HE LOOKED INSIDE, AND WHEN HE SAW THE BLOOD-STAINED CORPSE, HE IMMEDIATELY EXCLAIMED WITH XIAOLAN: "IT'S MR. HOTUMI!" ”
Gao Cheng also saw the corpse under the lights of the police car, a square-faced man wearing a beanie, and a lot of red leaves and blood mixed with the sleeveless down jacket, which looked strangely miserable.
But this rookie cop is stupid.
"Huh?" Shan Mura Cao noticed a few Gao Cheng and said in surprise, "Isn't this a city detective?" Wait a minute...... Why are you at the scene of the murder again? ”
"We just happened to be at the bottom of the mountain and came over when we heard that someone had an accident," Gao Cheng looked at the suspicious mountain village speechlessly, "What is your expression?" ”
Yamamura lifted his chin thoughtfully, looked at the garden, and said, "But you obviously knew this Mr. HOTUMI just now, didn't you?" ”
"It should be said that it has a little bit to do with it."
Gao Cheng crossed the mountain village that looked like an inquiry, and walked directly to the corpse.
The corpse is like that, it is not good-looking, and normal people will not feel very good when they see the corpse, especially in the dark woods, there is only one light on the corpse.
But it is also such a corpse that can be seen a lot of information.
At about 5 o'clock at the time of the killing, it happened to be the time when he and a few people in the garden were eating, which means that it was probably not an accidental killing.
AFTER SOMEONE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE MESSAGE, HE IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE MOUNTAIN TO MEET MR. HOTUMI.
"Is he the one who entrusted you?" Gao Cheng turned back to the garden and asked.
"Yes......"
Yuan Zi and Xiaolan were still a little scared, and they didn't dare to approach the corpse, so they just stayed next to the mountain village Cao.
The victim was indeed a strange man whom he had met during the day......
"Wait," Yamamura said a little confused, "What commission?" Really know this man? ”
"I don't know, we met him for the first time here today," Xiaolan explained, "He asked us to help him pass the word, so we went to the Red Tree Hotel in front of the station, and then met the senior Joto, and after helping to pass the word, we went to eat......"
"Passing the word?"
"MR. HOTUMI SAID THAT HE WAS AN ADVERTISER FOR THE DRAMA SERIES "AUTUMN LEAVES IN WINTER", AND THAT A FAN WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE TREE WITH THE RED HANDKERCHIEF WAS ORIGINALLY ATTACHED TO THE TV LOCATION ......"
"Autumn leaves in winter?" Yamamura Cao was immediately attracted to attention, and interrupted excitedly, "I know that this series is still being rebroadcast on cable TV in Gunma Prefecture, and my grandmother in the countryside also recommended me to watch it, and after watching the replay, I was immediately hooked!" Every Saturday night from 9 to 10 p.m. I would be in front of the TV on time......"
Saying that, the mountain village excitedly took out a small TV: "Today is Saturday, so I brought a portable TV, hehe, although there is a timed video at home, but I can't wait!" ”
Gao Cheng and Conan ignored the unreliable policeman, and carefully examined the condition of the body after the officers collected evidence.
The fatal injuries and the time of the murder were just like the coroner said, in addition to the two wounds, the victim's hands were also stained with a lot of blood, there were friction marks, and it seemed that it should be related to the notebook found 100 meters away.
In addition, there was fresh soil between the victim's fingernails, and there was mud on his trouser legs, which seemed to have been dug by hand somewhere, making people wonder what happened in the middle.
And who is the fan who agreed to meet......
The mountain village next to him finally returned to the topic, asked the two people in the garden about the victim, and was about to investigate further, when Gao Cheng's voice sounded in his ears: "Officer Shancun, can I take a look at that notebook?" ”
"Oh, of course you can ......"
Yamamura Cao subconsciously gave the notebook out, and when he came back to his senses, Gao Cheng had already held the notebook with a handkerchief and checked it with Conan.
"Detective Joto, do you and Detective Maori have this habit? Take Conan with you every time......"
"This kid likes to learn from adults to solve crimes, and he won't run around and destroy the scene when he follows him." Gao Cheng smiled and rubbed Conan's hair, completely ignoring Conan's protesting gaze.
"Really?" Yamamura Cao bent down and looked at Conan with the dead fish eye carefully, and asked curiously, "This kid is indeed very unusual...... Is it always that expression? ”
"Occasionally......"
"That's right."
Yamamura didn't put too much thought into Conan, and soon talked about the notebook in Gao Cheng's hand, shook his head and said, "I also read the notebook just now, there is nothing special ......"
"Stained with blood," Gao Cheng looked at the itinerary records on the previous page of his notebook, "as if he pressed his blood-stained fingers on 'April 1'......"
"April 1st?" Yamamura Cao was stunned, "Isn't it April Fool's Day?" April for Dummies...... Could this man really be a fool? ”
"Hey, Hey, ......"
Gao Cheng felt that the Gunma County Police Department had a hole in his brain to let this guy lead the team, and even made this guy a police department.
"Officer Yamamura," the criminal policeman, as a subordinate, couldn't stand it, and reminded in a low voice, "It may be the death message left by the victim......
Yamamura froze for a moment and smiled awkwardly, "If you have a death message...... Isn't it saying that the prisoner is a fool? I THINK IT'S BETTER TO CALL THE CREW OF "WINTER RED LEAVES" FIRST, AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THE SPECIFIC IDENTITY OF THE ADVERTISER MR. HOTUMI, SO THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIND THE SUSPECT......"
"Isn't there already a suspect?" Gao Cheng returned the notebook to Yamamura and said, "It's the fan who met with HOTUMI at this location first, and it is said that the other party is the Akaiki Hotel where he stayed in the morning......"
Judging from the time of the victim's death, the murderer may have found the garden leaving a message at the first time, and soon left the Red Tree Hotel and went up the mountain after knowing the content of the message.
At present, it seems that this case is not clueless, as long as it is a senior criminal policeman, there should be a way to solve the case, as for the mountain village...... There must be a question mark, this guy has professional knowledge in addition to it, but he is not even as good as his subordinates in other aspects.
Gao Cheng helplessly looked at the mountain village Cao who was about to go down the mountain.
At least after several contacts, I feel that this guy is a good person, and he has the determination and interest to become a good policeman, but his ability to solve crimes is really worrying, and he is always very superstitious.
