Chapter 328: Where It All Began

In the evening, Kaga went to Shubunkan Junior High School to investigate, and Takasei visited Aoyagi's house again.

After paying homage to Takeaki Aoyagi, he received a call from Officer Takagi before he could ask the Aoyagi family.

"You've already found a place for Yashima's interview?"

"Yes," Takagi said, "It's a furniture store in Kyobashi, and sure enough, I saw the announcement posted outside the store to apply, and the boss was not there on the first day, so it was changed to six o'clock in the evening of the second day, but at that time, there were only working students who applied for the event, and Yashima wanted to be able to apply for the furniture master, so the boss recommended that Yashima go to another store in Edobashi to apply......"

"Edobashi," Gao Cheng thought of the location of the Edobashi crime and continued to ask, "And then, did the other party admit him?" ”

"No, Mr. Hachishima just did carpentry because of his interest, and he couldn't meet the store manager's requirements, so he left around seven o'clock in the evening."

"Seven p.m. ......"

Gao Cheng silently hung up the phone.

Mr. Aoyagi entered the coffee shop at about half past seven, which was quite consistent with the time and distance.

Kaga said that he could delay for a day, but now that it has only been half a day, I am afraid that the evening press conference will go ahead as scheduled......

"What else is there to investigate?" Yuto Aoyagi watched coldly, "Isn't it already very clear on TV?" ”

Gao Cheng turned around and looked at Yuto Aoyagi with a straight face: "Don't you want to know why your father went to Nihonbashi?" Just accept the closure of the case in an unclear situation? ”

"What's not acceptable?!" Yuto Aoyagi said angrily, "Isn't it just that my father, who deliberately concealed the injury of labor, was killed by a man who was resentful?" I had nothing to do and went to the famous Nihonbashi, which is why it caused such an uproar in the media and caused such a big problem......

"It's not just the school, but now even the neighbors talk all day long, and there are reporters at the door every day!"

"Really?" Gao Cheng looked at Yuto Aoyagi calmly, "On the night of the crime, Mr. Aoyagi dragged his seriously injured body and spent ten minutes walking to the Nihonbashi without asking anyone for help, not even the police who were nearby......

"I don't know why Mr. Aoyagi did this, but for half a year, I insisted on praying for origami cranes at Suitengu Temple...... What should you know? ”

"Paper cranes?"

Yuto Aoyagi suddenly paused, didn't continue to listen to Gao Cheng, turned around and ran out of the living room and ran upstairs, slamming the bedroom door shut.

The living room fell silent, except for Gao Cheng and Mrs. Aoyagi, who was sitting haggardly on the side.

Sure enough, Yuto Aoyagi knows something, but it seems that it is difficult to ask anything, and I don't know what is going on in Kaga......

"Well," said Mrs. Aoyagi hesitantly, "is it so abominable to conceal labor injuries?" Even if you are killed, you should be? ”

Gao Cheng came back to his senses.

"Is it because of the show on TV? It is a crime to conceal labor injuries, and some people will feel resentful, but if they do so, they will be killed...... At least I don't think so, human life is not such a casual thing. ”

Nihonbashi Police Station.

The meeting was held a little faster than Gao Cheng expected, and by the time he arrived, the senior management had already decided to hold a press conference in the evening.

"It's very close, and the timing coincides," the police commissioner tapped the table, "Yashima, who left the Edobashi furniture store, and the victim who happened to pay homage to the Seven Lucky Gods nearby, there is a very good chance that the two will meet by chance......

"It seems that what happened should be that Yashima, who failed the interview, thought of Jinshi Metal, which had caused his miserable end, and improvised contact with the victim, so they entered a nearby café...... Yashima brought up the matter of concealing the labor injury to coerce the victim, and as a result, the two got into an argument, and then committed the crime in the underground passage on the way home, which is probably the same......"

"But," Gao Cheng stood up and interrupted, "isn't it strange to have a murder weapon with you when you meet by chance?" And if there is an argument, the coffee shop clerk should remember it. ”

"What's so strange about this, it should be used to protect oneself," a high-ranking police officer said disapprerovingly, "Yashima had a criminal record when he was young, and that kind of person is usually very dangerous......

"Can you judge so casually?" Gao Cheng stared at the police officer who spoke, "I think there is a deeper secret to this incident, and the case can't be closed like this...... Give me a little more time......"

The police officer looked unquick and stood up: "Detective Chenghu!" You're just assisting with the case......"

"Vouch for my own future!" Gao Cheng firmly interrupted the officer, "Bet on the reputation of the detective, this case is not over yet." ”

"You!"

"So be it," said Matsumoto Executive, "and the reporter will postpone it until tomorrow evening, and investigate the vicinity of the two furniture stores and the coffee shop again to see if there are any witnesses." ”

At the end of the meeting, many police officers broke up unhappily.

"What the hell is this detective thinking? It's so obvious......"

"Although he is a detective, he is just a layman under the age of 20."

"Not necessarily, the murder weapon is not a suspect, and there is no evidence for the time being, right?"

"Anyway, I'm going to be busy again tomorrow, and everyone is under a lot of pressure in this case......

Gao Cheng silently packed up his notepad and walked out of the conference room, just in time to collide with Kaga.

"I've already checked over there at Shubunkan Junior High School," Kaga walked through the aisles, "Three years ago, the advisor worked late and left to find a student named Tomoyuki Yoshinaga drowning...... Here's what he said. ”

"What about Yoshinaga?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Moved to Nagano," Kaga patted Takatari on the shoulder, "We're going to ...... tomorrow"

"Mr. Kaga," Gao Cheng said, pausing his figure, "can you take me to the scene of the crime?" I want to go back to square one and revisit the clues. ”

……

At night, near the Edobashi Tunnel.

The lights quietly reflected the green road, few pedestrians passed, and the homeless homeless man curled up on the bench beside the road, probably because the early spring evening was too cold, turning over and muttering intermittently.

Gao Cheng followed Kaga all the way, confirmed the Nihonbashi unicorn statue and the Edobashi crime scene, and finally arrived at the place where Hachishima Fuyuki was found by the patrol police.

After going through it in real time, it was much fuller than looking at the map, as if I had seen the incident with my own eyes, and saw how Takeaki Aoyagi staggered through a distance of hundreds of meters with his injuries.

"There are very few people on this section of the road, but there are still many opportunities to ask for help, and there is a police station in the middle......

Kaga explained the situation on the day of the crime while walking, and suddenly noticed Kaori Nakahara walking silently on the opposite side, and hurriedly pulled down Gao Cheng.

"Miss Nakahara?"

"Detective Joto, Mr. Crime......" Kaori Nakahara was taken aback, "Why are you here?" ”

"Come back and investigate," Kaga said, walking to a bush, "Hachishima made one last call...... Here it is, and then escaped after being spotted by the patrolman......"

Kaori Nakahara pursed her lips and looked at the middle of the green plants, and she could clearly see the footprints, as if she felt the panic of Yashima at that time.

"I still can't believe that Fuyuki would do such a thing as murder...... Detective Joto, Mr. Crime, Fuyuki is not going to kill! ”

Kaga looked at Kaori Nakahara, who was anxious, and paused and said, "I know that the Joto detectives have annoyed many police officers in order to gain time. ”

"Really?" Kaori Nakahara turned guiltily to Gao Cheng, "Detective ...... of the city"

"It's nothing," Gao Cheng held the map of the Nihonbashi area in his hand, marked the route of the entire case, remembered the wishing card of Hachishima on his body, and asked Kaori Nakahara, "Miss Nakahara, did you really not tell Mr. Yashima about her pregnancy?" ”

"Well," Kaori Nakahara nodded slightly, "because I'm scared...... When he was unemployed and had no money, he might abandon me if he found out that I was pregnant...... That's why I said so much, hoping that he will find a job......"

Gao Cheng took out the wishing card and handed it to Kaori Nakahara.

"Mr. Hachishima, he should know...... In fact, the reason why I was looking for socks without holes that day was to go to a furniture store for an interview......"

Kaori Nakahara gently took the wishing card, and her fingers trembled slightly: "Winter tree ......"

"The day before the crime, he made a special trip to the Shuitian Palace," Gao Cheng continued, "I spent the money on my body to buy this, because it was hung on a tree, and the shrine kept it for ......"

Kaori Nakahara choked and hugged the wishing card tightly: "I don't know anything about ......"

Before they knew it, they walked to the Nihonbashi again, and stopped in front of the unicorn statue in the middle, which happened to be opposite the place where Takeaki Aoyagi died.

"Why did Miss Nakahara come here? Your body shouldn't be able to run outside right now, right? Gao Cheng looked at Kaori Nakahara, who was immersed in his memories, and asked.

Kaori Nakahara came back to her senses, wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at the unicorn statue and said, "The first time I came to Tokyo with Fuyuki on a hitchhike, I got off here...... The driver said that this was the starting point of Tokyo, and we were very happy at the time......"

"When was that?" Kaga's expression moved slightly.

"Well, it seems like this time three years ago...... At first, I remembered that it was an anniversary, but we didn't celebrate it, and then Fuyuki and I gradually forgot about it......"

"Aren't you impressed?"

"There should still be a ...... written in the diary," Kaori Nakahara wondered, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"It's nothing," Kaga pondered, "but I think Yashima might remember, so that's why I'm running here...... Miss Nakahara, can you please check it out? ”

"Huh?"

"You should be able to tell the time just by checking the diary, right?"

"I see." Kaori Nakahara nodded confusedly.

After separating from Kaori Nakahara, Gao Cheng took the lead in speaking: "Officer Kaga, I just studied the route of Mr. Aoyagi leaving the café and going to the subway station, as well as the possible route of Hachishima's activities......

"Mr. Aoyagi will pass through this area when he goes home, and it is very likely that he will pass through this area after Hachishima failed the interview, and the strange thing is that there is an interval of nearly two hours between the time he left the furniture store and the time when the case occurred, and if he hadn't gone to the café with Mr. Aoyagi, he should have left this ......area long ago."

"I think so too," Kaga agreed, "and the key is what Yashima is doing in the middle." ”

Gao Cheng remembered the death picture of Takeaki Aoyagi taken during the initial investigation, and his eyes swept around Nihonbashi: "I remember that there is surveillance here, right?" ”
