Nihonbashi Police Station Conference Room.

The impact of the murder on the Nihonbashi Bridge seems to be much greater than Gao Cheng imagined, and a search and countermeasure team was temporarily set up in the police station of this jurisdiction, and not only the staff of the police station in the jurisdiction, but also the senior management of the search section of the headquarters appeared at the meeting.

Gao Cheng even saw Matsumoto and the chief of the Nihonbashi Police Station walk into the conference room together.

I feel that the situation is very serious, and the police are not as many as the last "Easter egg" incident when they held a meeting at the Metropolitan Police Department's search headquarters, but the scale of the scene is not small.

Rows of tables and chairs, as well as the chief's seats for senior executives to sit in rows during the investigation meeting, are fully prepared, and there are several whiteboards for case analysis at the back, which clearly list a lot of information about the case.

Gao Cheng casually found a seat in the back, mixed in the middle of a group of ordinary police officers, and suddenly a tall and thin criminal policeman sat down next to him, a handsome uncle about 3 or 4 years old, slightly unkempt, dark skin, deep facial features, it looks like there are dark circles under his eyes, a decent black suit, and a calm temperament.

"You're the one recommended by the General Office for a search lesson, right?" The tall and thin uncle spoke, "I've heard about you, but I didn't expect it to be much younger than I imagined......

"You are?" Gao Cheng looked at the criminal police suspiciously.

"I'm Kaga, and I'm investigating with you for the time being."

"Oh, you're the Kaga Police Department ......"

Gao Cheng thought of the explanation given by the police officer before he came, and this time there was a criminal police officer in the jurisdiction who cooperated with him in the investigation.

"Actually, I don't have much experience in this kind of search case, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the police officer......"

"Shhhhh Kaga pointed to the chief's seat and reminded Gao Cheng to close his voice.

As the senior officials took their seats one after another, the investigation meeting officially began to clarify the facts of the case.

"The victim, Takeaki Aoyagi, a 53-year-old head of the manufacturing department of the construction parts manufacturing company 'Kaneishi Metal', was found at the scene of the attack in the underground tunnel of Edobashi and was found on Nihonbashi Bridge, 300 meters away......"

Gao Cheng followed the criminal police, listening to the reports of the deputies while looking through the case materials in his hands.

"According to the victim's injuries, the time of the murder was about 8:50 last night, and the murder weapon was a folding knife with a blade length of 8 centimeters and a total length of 18 centimeters, and the fingerprints were suspected to have been erased by cloth......"

"Surveillance of Nihonbashi shows that the victim who walked through the Edobashi underpass reached the middle of the bridge and fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion......"

"About 800 meters from the scene of the murder, Hamamachi Greenway," an old acquaintance Takagi reported, "The police officers on patrol found a suspicious man, and when he was about to come forward for interrogation, the man suddenly ran away, and was finally hit by a truck on the Shin-Ohashi Road, and is now in a state of unconscious and serious injuries, the suspect's name is Hachishima Higashiki, 25 years old, who lives in an apartment in Arakawa Ward, and the rental registration is Hachishima's girlfriend Kaori Nakahara......"

Kaga, as the criminal representative of the jurisdiction, stood up after him: "Hachishima Higashiki held the victim's personal belongings, including digital cameras, glasses cases, and Internet café membership cards, and only the above three items have not been confirmed by the victim's family.

"There is no information stored in the digital camera, and the membership card level is in the Internet café Kingdom Nishi-Shinjuku store, near the victim's cognitive company, and the victim has been visiting since half a year ago......"

Another police officer continued: "Yashima was abandoned by his mother when he was born......"

Gao Cheng looked through the information and had a general understanding of the whole case.

The special thing about this case is that the suspect was unconscious in a car accident, and the suspect's girlfriend is still in the hospital, because she has been hit too hard, and she cannot be interrogated for the time being......

The investigation meeting was strictly procedural, and all the investigation arrangements were well organized, and he, a detective, seemed to be a little redundant.

It's the same as last time, just coming to watch?

With the completion of the report, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more relaxed, no longer as tense as at the beginning, and many officers felt that this case was not difficult to solve.

After the meeting was adjourned, the criminal police officers held their own group meetings according to the assigned investigation tasks, and only Gao Cheng and Kaga seemed to be isolated, and they were not even assigned specific tasks, which can be regarded as a support group.

"I'm sorry, Officer Kaga," Gao Cheng said embarrassedly, "we ......"

"We'll go to the hospital later," Kaga stared at the front with her fingers crossed, rather calm, "to see if she can be questioned about her condition." ”

In the past, when the search lesson was released, he had never been given such a free right to investigate, and it can only be said that Gao Cheng is worthy of being a well-known detective recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, for this case, he still wants to follow his own routine first.

"If Hachishima can regain consciousness, things will be much easier, but be prepared for the worst."

Kaga left the Nihonbashi Police Station with Takatari, speaking his thoughts as he walked.

"There are too many suspicious points in this case, first of all, the motive, ordinary people will not pick that kind of place to start, even if there are not many pedestrians, but it is also a lively city center, and it is easy to be witnessed at the time of the crime......"

"Could it be an impulse killing?" Gao Cheng interjected and asked.

"But that doesn't explain why Yashima carried the murder weapon with him."

Kaga doesn't know why he took the initiative to talk to others so much today, maybe Gao Cheng is in a sense very similar to him when he was young, or maybe he is curious about what kind of special abilities this overly young detective has.

At least for the time being, it seems to be similar to the newcomers in the department......

"Me?" On the way to the hospital, Gao Cheng was sitting in the passenger seat, and was suddenly asked by Kaga about his previous cases, "In the past, I rarely participated in case search operations, and most of them were solved on the spot, so I have to trouble Officer Kaga more next, and this is also a learning opportunity for me......"

"Really?" Kaga smiled and didn't continue to ask, "Then you should have more contact with the police officers of the search section, as long as the search section takes over, they are the protagonists." ”

……

In the hospital, the suspect Yashima has been sent to the intensive care unit and refused to entertain guests, despite this, Yashima's girlfriend Kaori Nakahara has been sitting silently in the aisle and has not left.

When Gao Cheng followed Kaga over, he saw Kaori Nakahara at a glance, her complexion was not very good, and the nurses around her were in a hurry, making her look as if she had been abandoned.

According to doctors, the suspect Fuyuki Hachishima is in a very critical state with a severe ruptured skull and an intracranial hemorrhage, and the condition is so bad that it is possible that he will never wake up again, but it is not impossible for miracles to happen.

In general, only the worst-case scenario can be made......

As if sensing something, Kaori Nakahara raised her head slightly and looked at Gao Cheng and the others.

Kaga approached and showed his police ID and said, "Have you heard about what happened last night?" ”

Kaori Nakahara glanced at Gao Cheng, lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Well, I know a little ......"

"That's good."

Kaga looked around and introduced Gao Chengdao: "This is the detective Joto Gao Cheng who assisted in the case, let's find a quiet place, I want you to help with some problems." ”
