Chapter 31: The Police Visit the Customs Shop
The police are in action.
The murder of Yusaku Putian, a senior engineer of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, that occurred on the night of March 30 has been handed over to the Higashi-Shinjuku Police Station. The person in charge of solving the case is Hero Sato, a three-year-old senior police detective who is now Chinese New Year's Eve, supplemented by his assistant Tsuburaya.
As of noon on April 1, the suspects in the case were identified as a temporary worker at the Setagaya branch of Sakura Bank, a part-time custom girl at the lesbian custom shop on Nibanjie in Kabukicho, and a 20-year-old migrant population in Beijing, Mito Aoyama.
The investigation clue is that the detectives found the suspect's business card next to the corpse, and locked the custom shop "candlestick" and contact information where he worked. Then I found out that his main job as a customer specialist at Sakura Bank.
As of the night of April 1, Mito Aoyama was listed as a key surveillance target by the police because of the lack of alibi at the scene of the crime and the behavior of actively getting rid of the police tracking last night. According to the grapevine, the person in charge of the case, Sato, seems to have found something terrible after collecting the suspect's information in detail, but other colleagues do not know it for the time being.
At the case analysis meeting on April 2, Hero Sato and his assistant Tsuburaya were ordered to go to the suspect's place of work for further investigation. But when I visited the bank again during the day, I learned that Mito Aoyama had taken a leave of absence today and did not go to work.
"Aoyama-san is a very good employee, she has never taken a leave of absence before."
The second-in-command of the branch said, "Could it be that she really committed a crime?" Is this absconding? Officer, please confine today's conversation to this office. The reputation of the bank is extremely important, and if ...... is allowed to do so."
Since they did not find out the whereabouts of the suspect at the bank, the two police officers who handled the case immediately decided to go to the custom shop where the suspect worked part-time at night to find out more.
8:30 p.m., Kabukicho Niban Street, lesbian customs shop candlestick.
At this time, it was the business period, and when he saw two men actually walking in, the little brother who welcomed him naturally wanted to stop him. But after seeing the police badge, he naturally had to let it go and notify the upstairs in time.
When the two policemen walked into the store, they naturally had suspicious glances from countless women, but they looked at the store environment very calmly with their cheeky skin that the laser could not penetrate.
The main theme here is dark purple and light pink, the interior is warm, and there is an ambiguous atmosphere everywhere. Of course, there is no custom lady at the door, and the female customers are at most sitting in the pre-function area, and then they will be invited inside. Naturally, the two criminal policemen could only stop there, and they couldn't go deeper.
However, even if he knew that this was not a place for men, as far as the detective Tsuburaya was concerned, he couldn't help but reverie. In particular, the list of customs and mothers hanging on the wall, as well as the list of service items that you can browse on the small table, are undoubtedly extremely provocative.
"I don't know where she went."
There were no more employees present, and the mother of the custom shop, San, a sexy girl who just turned 30 this year, Kaori Yoshida, wore a purple dress, calmly sat on the sofa and coped with two uninvited guests.
"It's a part-time job, and this child is more often absent from work, and I haven't deliberately paid attention to it when I don't see it."
"So, the *** child who has worked in your store for two years in one breath, you don't pay much attention to it on weekdays...... I should say, is the relationship really good? ”
Forty-year-old police detective Tsuburaya sat down on a high chair and said, "Let me remind you that we have been to the bank where she works in the morning and the apartment she rented in the afternoon, but there is no one." ”
"This kid is indeed such a person, if he says he is missing, he will disappear, after all, I have known each other for two years, and I still understand this bit of character."
Kaori's mother-san put down the wine glass, she hadn't drunk it for half a day: "Although she has a weird temper on weekdays, she is still a good person, at most she has a little bad problem that should be trained, but ......"
"This kid is a serious suspect in the murder case."
Tsuburaya had a sharp voice, interrupting Kaori Yoshida, "Or rather, it's okay to be an important insider." ”
Now that she has said this, Kaori's expression is indeed much more solemn, and she shakes her head and says, "Even if you say so......"
"You've told us that you've known her for two years."
Tsuburaya slowly lit a cigarette, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Isn't it enough for you to summarize some important information and tell the police in such a long time?" ”
Yoshida Kaori paused for a moment and sighed, "That kid basically doesn't talk much about his own affairs. ”
"Family or friends or people you like, you don't know all of this?"
"It's really not ...... at all"
"Since you don't know anything......"
Hero Sato suddenly spoke.
When Tsuburaya was in charge of the inquiry, he had been drinking the small bottle of Erguotou that he had brought with him, and turned his head towards her at this time: "Then Mama-san, if you hire someone from unknown origin, we can sue the candlestick as a black shop......
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere naturally became stiff.
"You're going to make it hard for me, Policeman."
Kaori Yoshida suddenly frowned and looked at Hero Sato unceremoniously. At this moment, this thirty-year-old woman, how can she still have the appearance of being gentle and pleasant, and her momentum is so strong that it even makes Sato lean back.
"What you don't know, you just don't know."
She paused for a moment and said, "After all, I'm just Midon's merchant, not her mother or her guardian. Since you have repeatedly emphasized that I am an old acquaintance of her for two years, there is one thing. I can remind you. ”
She spoke slowly, satisfying to see that both policemen had straightened their postures, and at this moment, the person in charge of the interrogation was at a disadvantage.
"I don't think she has a big network, I don't think she can have a few friends, I even think she's a single parent or even an orphan. So for you police, I'm afraid it's really hard. That's all I can say, come on, send off! ”
The man's bodyguard stepped forward and immediately invited the two uninvited guests out.
In the corner of the huge front desk, the charming girl in the purple dress sat elegantly on the sofa and watched them leave. However, although the uninvited guest had left, she still frowned and looked gloomy.
When the figure of the black-clothed criminal policeman just disappeared from sight, she immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed a familiar number.
The bell rang once, the bell five times, the bell nine times, an unprecedented delay, but Kaori's mother San still waited patiently.
It rang twelve times, and just when it was time for the phone to hang up, it was finally connected.
"Hey, Midon!?" Kaori immediately shouted, "The police are here, what happened to you, you didn't even come to work tonight?" ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then slowly, a warm and glutinous, incomparably soft voice sounded.
"I'm really sorry, but I'll be coming to the store soon, so please feel at ease."
It's a nice voice, and of course it's Mito Aoyama's voice, but Kaori suddenly heard it, but she was stunned fiercely.
Why does this kid still use honorifics with her?
