Chapter 50: Cat and Mouse Game

Junzo Sasagaki craned his neck and looked at the corpse on the ground.

Next to him, the man dressed in white is Professor Hidetomi Matsuno of Medical University, who has been a forensic doctor in Osaka Prefecture for more than 20 years.

"The deceased was about forty-five to early fifties and less than 170 centimeters tall. In terms of height, he is slightly fat, wears a coffee-colored shirt, no tie, and his clothes are like high-end goods. ”

"There were two wounds, one on the inside of the wrist, and there was a deep cut wound, but it was not a fatal wound, the throat was cut on the neck, and the carotid artery was severed was the real cause of his death."

As far as Junzo Sasagaki could see, there was no sign of a fight. The deceased was neatly dressed, and his hair, which was completely combed back without separate lines, was almost out of shape.

The diminutive Professor Matsuno stood up and faced the investigators.

"He killed him, that's right!"

"The wound on the wrist is about 0.5 to 1 cm, and the neck is a few centimeters, and the initial estimate is that it should be a thin and sharp blade, such as a dagger commonly used in the market, or a razor," the professor affirmed. ”

"Dead on the spot?" Junzo Sasagaki asked

"He died within about a minute, the carotid artery was cut and the artery ruptured, resulting in death on the spot."

"And it is certain that the murderer is very sophisticated and ruthless, and he is fatal with one knife."

"What about the presumed time of death?" The question was raised by another police officer.

Postmortem stiffness has spread all over the body, and the corpse spots are no longer displaced, and the cornea is quite cloudy, and it may have been seventeen hours to almost a whole day, depending on how accurate the dissection can be. ”

Sasagaki looked at his watch, it was 2:40 p.m., and if you work backwards, the deceased should have been killed yesterday morning.

"I have one last question, why can the murderer be lethal with one move, and why do he need to slash that one more in one move?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Junzo Sasagaki with surprise at the newly transferred policeman, and then looked at the forensic doctor.

Forensic doctor Matsuno frowned slightly, didn't answer the question, grabbed the corpse's right hand and sniffed lightly.

"Gunsmoke reaction!"

Everyone was shocked.

Gunsmoke reaction refers to the soot composed of gunpowder particles and metal powders that are ejected from the muzzle of the gun or entrained in the air mass escaping from the end of the barrel when the gun is fired.

They are usually left on the inner edge of and around the bullet hole, on the back of the shooter's hand, between the fingers, on the surface of the bullet, on the inner wall of the barrel and on the surface of related parts.

If the murderer was trying to stop the deceased Yosuke Kirihara from shooting, it would be reasonable to cut his wrist, but where is the pistol now?

The hearts of the people sank.

"The wife of the deceased has arrived." At this time, the young policeman Koga entered.

"It's finally here." Junzo Sasagaki muttered, "Let her claim the body and bring her in first." ”

"Know the identity of the deceased?"

Koga, who entered the door, nodded and said, "The deceased has a driver's license and a business card on him, and he is the owner of a pawnshop in this neighborhood. ”

"Pawnshop? What was taken away? ”

"I don't know, but I didn't find the wallet. According to his wife, yesterday Yosuke Kirihara withdrew a million yen from the bank, and he should have a lot of money in his bag. ”

"Robbery and murder?"

Junzo Sasagaki shook his head, thinking that it wouldn't be so simple.

There was a knock on the door, and soon Junzo Sasagaki saw a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup, wearing high heels, so beautiful that she looked like she had just come out of a beauty salon.

It's not normal for her husband to disappear and die, but she is dressed so beautifully.

Everyone knew this, and silently watched the woman's reaction to seeing her dead husband.

"Interesting!"

Through his conversation with the man named Yayoiko, Junzo Sasagaki learns a lot of information, and after she leaves, he notices a spot on the wall next to the black bench. The square cavern of the ventilation ducts was just below the ceiling, which should have been covered with metal mesh, but now of course it was empty.

"Koga?"

"Who's the informant?"

Koga replied, "The body was found by a third-grade student at a nearby elementary school. In the afternoon, six boys were playing in the building. Instead of dodgeball or hide-and-seek, they used the building's extensive ventilation pipes as a maze. ”

For boys, crawling through the intricate winding ventilation ducts may indeed be a game that stimulates the spirit of adventure.

"Kids?"

Junzo Sasagaki smashed his mouth, feeling ridiculous about the thoughts that popped up in his head.

"Koga, let's go, I'm very interested in this case, let's go and investigate the relationship between the deceased Yosuke Kirihara, as well as his family, it will definitely be very rewarding."

In the next ten days, Junzo Sasagaki observed and visited the interpersonal relationship of the deceased Yosuke Kirihara, and probably obtained the following information:

"Yosuke Kirihara's family is in good condition and belongs to the middle class. Have a wife and son."

"His wife Yayoiko's original occupation was a nightclub girl, more than ten years younger than Yosuke Kirihara, and she was in her 30s and in full bloom, Yosuke Kirihara couldn't satisfy him, so Yayoiko had an adulterous affair with Matsuura."

"Ryoji Kirihara, Yosuke Kirihara's son, is a very withdrawn, but very intelligent child, and may know about his mother's adultery with Matsuura."

After that, the time was to determine the alibi, the motive for the crime, the criminal psychology speculation and other details, and the case reached this point, and the young colleague Matsuura decided that the murderer could be the deceased's wife Yayoiko and adulterer Matsuura.

Junzo Sasagaki disagreed, and by continuing to investigate and visit, asking the surrounding people and Yosuke Kirihara's bank withdrawal records, his whereabouts on the day of the crime were roughly determined.

On the morning of the incident, the deceased, Yosuke Kirihara, withdrew one million yuan in cash at the Fushi branch of the Sankyo Bank, went to a nearby Saga Noya to eat herring soba noodles, and left at about 8 o'clock.

The question is after that. The clerk's testimony noted that Yosuke Kirihara appeared to be walking in the opposite direction of the station. Continued investigation confirmed that Yosuke Kirihara had bought a piece of fruit pudding cake at a cake shop.

According to the testimony of the clerk, it was proved that there was a woman who bought the cake with Yosuke Kirihara at that time.

Extramarital affairs, heterosexual relationships.

Most of the police thought that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and groped for this path, and soon determined a name in Yosuke Kirihara's pawnshop roster and the words of the surrounding people-Nishimotoyo.

.......

"Why is this road so bad, this place is too broken?" ’

Stepping on a road full of mud and sand, and raising dust after two steps, Koga couldn't help but complain.

Next to him, Junzo Sasagaki silently observed this dilapidated and desolate building complex, looking at the address on the list in his hand, without any clue.

"Classmates!"

Looking at a handsome young man carrying a schoolbag walking in the distance, Junzo Sasagaki waved his hand, ran to him and asked, "May I ask where to go with the address on this piece of paper?" ”

Chen Jun's afterglow quickly swept over the middle-aged uncle's face, and then looked at Koga, who looked a little younger behind him, "Over there." ”

He pointed to the apartment and left.

"Let's go!"

Koga pulled Junzo Sasakagaki instead, but he asked, "Did you pay attention to that young man's eyes?" There's an unusual maturity, and there's a kind of weird maturity that he's laughing. ”

"No, it's a normal teenager."

"Forget it, maybe I didn't sleep yesterday."

Junzo Sasagaki stretched and walked towards the apartment.
