The next day, at the Kaizuka North Police Station, Yui Utsumi returned to the office with her tired body in her arms, and her colleagues immediately greeted her curiously.

"How? The detective you were introduced by your classmate is okay, right? ”

"I don't know," Utsumi rubbed his sore waist, "I've been studying on the spot for a long time and I've not gained anything, and now I don't even have any news." ”

"Wouldn't it? Isn't it a nationally known detective? My colleague was surprised, "I've heard that he's very popular in the main hall." ”

Utsumi was tired enough by this case, and said with a wry smile: "I won't rely on any detectives anymore, although that guy is a detective, he is just an adult ghost...... And it's still that kind of star-chaser. ”

"What of that?"

"Anyway, I'll find out the truth myself."

The colleague smiled, looked at the busy Utsumi and said: "You are still holding on to this case in the police station, I think you might as well go to find an expert." ”

Utsumi put down the case materials and wondered: "Expert? Except for that sleeping Kogoro, who else in Tokyo is more powerful than Joto Takasei? ”

"I'm not talking about detectives, I'm scientists, it's better to find scientists for things like spontaneous combustion of the human body, right?"

"That's what I said......"

Hearing this, Utsumi was a little moved, and was about to ask how to find it, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Gao Cheng's phone.

"It's the little detective." Utsumi smiled wryly at the screen for his colleague and turned to answer the phone.

"Officer Neihai," Gao Cheng said, standing in the hallway of the office, "can you pick me up and take me to the scene?" There are some things I want to ask clearly. ”

"Hey?"

……

The location of the Sakuragawa crime.

Gao Cheng's figure walked back and forth by the river, investigating the scene again.

This time, even the stone duck in the middle of the river was not spared, and one of the stone ducks obviously had blackened holes in its eyes, just like the statues and billboards on the shore.

"Can these holes be burned out by cigarette butts?"

"What?" Utsumi stood beside him suspiciously, and when he saw that Gao Cheng still had dark circles under his eyes, he said helplessly, "You've been thinking about this kind of thing for the past two days?" No, it's not good for your health if you don't have a good rest......"

"Take me to meet the people around me."

Gao Cheng suddenly turned around and took the lead in walking towards the alley, and Utsumi was stunned and hurriedly followed.

"Wait!"

"Honestly," several young men with their children in their arms responded at the children's playground, "everyone is relieved, they are all nasty guys, and they come to make trouble every night." ”

"yes, I can't help myself without listening to the patrolmen's warnings," complained one shop uncle, "and if it weren't illegal to kill people, I would have killed them a long time ago." ”

"Excuse me."

Gao Cheng walked in the alleys, and Kaoru Utsumi was holding a notebook behind him.

"The rest will have to wait until they get home in the evening, but it's pretty much the same, the people here do hate the victim and their companions, and if there is a murderer, it's probably someone nearby......

"Are there any other useful clues, even small things?" Gao Cheng interrupted.

Asked a lot of people, housewives, shop owners...... The only thing I know is that the bad guy is hated by the people in the neighborhood.

"What do you mean by something very small?" Utsumi said in a daze.

"Sometimes the details that are difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to can tell a lot of things."

"Well," Utsumi muttered, "a little girl said she had seen a red thread in the sky...... Maybe it's just from fairy tales, but children's imaginations are really rich. ”

"The red line?" Gao Cheng held up his elbows and thought, "If you see that girl again, please ask carefully." ”

"Hey, hey," Utsumi said tiredly, "So, does the red line in the sky have anything to do with spontaneous combustion of the human body?" ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know?!"

"However, I found a lot of information," Gao Cheng pondered as he walked on the side of the street, "If he killed this incident, the murder weapon is likely to be a laser gun, isn't there a laser gun that can melt people away in science fiction movies?" ”

"Laser guns? Sci-fi movies? Utsumi stopped with an ugly face, "What a joke!" You called me here and thought you had found something...... What the hell do you take this case for? Someone was killed! Not yet twenty years old......"

"Are you sympathizing with the bad guy who was killed?" Gao Cheng turned around calmly and looked at Utsukaido, "I just want to find out the truth when I investigate this case, it doesn't mean that I'm on the bad side, and his life and death have nothing to do with me." ”

"What?"

"I'm sorry," Gao Cheng paused and shook his head slightly, "I'm just an adult little ghost, when I didn't say anything." ”

"Damn!" In the evening, at the Kaizuka North Police Station, Utsukai grabbed his hair frantically, "That stinky little ghost! actually threw my sister aside! ”

The colleague smiled: "Don't you still dislike others and say that you want to investigate the truth yourself?" ”

"That's true, but it's always easier to have one more person to investigate, right?"

Utsumi sullenly took a few bites of dinner, but he didn't have much appetite, and complained to his colleagues: "I just said a word to him, let him investigate seriously, and need to drive me back?" What else does it matter to him whether he lives or dies, he just wants to find out the truth......"

"Even a detective is only 18 years old," the colleague laughed, "It's normal to hate bad things, right?" People don't think as much as you do. ”

"O, Obasan?!" Utsumi's eyebrows were raised, "I'm only 28 too!" ”

"yes, it's 28."

"Woo."

……

On the banks of the Sakura River, as night falls, houses are lit up.

"Excuse me!" Gao Cheng walked to a Jinsen house and rang the doorbell.

This case is indeed as troublesome as he imagined, unlike other cases, the modus operandi is beyond his knowledge, and he can only reason through a little bit of groping from the side.

A man opened the door in confusion: "Are you?" ”

"Ah, hello, it was the Utsukai police officer from the Kaizuka North Police Station who asked me to come over," Gao Cheng asked, "Can I ask you a few questions about the previous case?" ”

The man looked at Gao Cheng and said, "I've already told your police what I want to say, right?" ”

"This time it's an in-depth investigation, and it's a little different from the previous ones," Gao Cheng smiled, "That, is it convenient to go into the house and talk?" ”

The man's face changed for a while, but he still nodded and welcomed Gao Cheng into the room.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Just plain water, thank you."

Gao Cheng stood in a room covered with tatami mats, taking advantage of the opportunity of the man pouring water, his eyes swept to every corner.

The eye-catching bookshelves and recording equipment are all well organized and very neat.

Looking left and right, Gao Cheng walked to the window and opened the curtains.

The house is right next to the crime scene and has a clear view of the river.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly stepped on a pit, and when he looked down, he found that the tatami mat on the ground had a rough mark, as if it was rubbed out with his feet.

"Any questions?" The man appeared at the door with a water glass.

"Ah," Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and smiled, "I think this house is pretty good, and I've always wanted to have bookshelves like this...... Are these recording devices? ”

"Well," the man said, glancing at the marks on the tatami mats by the window, and kneeling down at the table, "I'm volunteering to read aloud for those with inconvenient eyes." ”

"Oh? Read aloud volunteers. ”

Gao Cheng looked at the full bookshelves again, looked tentatively at the man and asked, "Were you here at the time of the crime?" ”

The man looked away and nodded, "But because those people are making noise again, I can't read the recording......" 2k reading web
