Chapter 91: Serial Cases
Odashita, male, from Hokkaido, but a long-time guest in Tokyo, 49 years old, is a well-known human rights lawyer in the judicial field, who has long spoken out for the disadvantaged and has won several high-impact rights protection lawsuits. Withdrawn, living alone, a friend called the police a week after the disappearance, and there were signs of someone breaking into the home, suspected of being kidnapped.
Tamato Shibasaki, male, from Tokyo, 65 years old, is a well-known ethicist and tenured university professor, who has published many heavyweight papers in top journals in the industry, cited countless times, and has a world-class influence in related fields. Kind-hearted, uncontented and focused on academics, he found his car in the early morning nine days ago, with broken windows and suspected hijacking.
Masaaki Eguchi, male, Tokyo, 38 years old, owner of a number of patents, holding shares in many companies, invisible rich, and an expert in electronic engineering, has presided over a number of large-scale projects. is low-key, enthusiastic about public welfare, has a happy family, and has been determined to have been kidnapped at home.
Ruri Nishikujo stared at the scribbled handwriting on the whiteboard, the photos of the three people, and pondered-
Human rights lawyers, ethics scholars, and electrical and electronic engineers are difficult to connect with.
Odashita has a lot of social influence but low income and a poor family; Shibasaki Tamato has a good reputation in ethical academic circles, but he is only slightly well-known in society and his assets belong to the middle class; Masaaki Eguchi has no name but is worth a lot of money......
If it is kidnapping for ransom, only Masaaki Eguchi is profitable, and the other two can't squeeze much oil and water but will cause a commotion;
If you are looking for revenge, only Xiao Tianxia has damaged the interests of many consortiums and is easy to be hated, and the other two are low-key and honest, it is hard to imagine that someone will use extreme means to retaliate against them;
If terrorists or cultists have some kind of political demands, only Odashita's social influence is greater, and the other two ordinary people may not have heard of their names, and it is slightly better to tie them up than to tie up a passerby......
What is the purpose of the criminals, and if they were to do it again, who would be the next target?
Or is it just a coincidence that these cases are unrelated? Just three separate cases in a row? But how likely is it that the modus operandi of the three cases is similar and the time is continuous, so how likely is it that they are unrelated?
Nishikujo Ruri was expressionless, and after thinking for nearly an hour, he couldn't find a clue.
After Odashita's disappearance, the impact was quite large, and he had many supporters, and if he had a proper seat in politics, it immediately triggered several sit-in demonstrations, and then the media seemed to have finally found a poop fly, buzzing and pounced, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department found nothing after a week of investigation, and was sprayed with blood.
Then there was the case of the disappearance of Shibasaki Tamato, who had been teaching and educating people all his life, with many students, and many elites from all walks of life, who could not make a lot of noise compared to Odashita, but the pressure on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was still excessive.
Now that there is Masaaki Eguchi's case again, the interest of the media has completely exploded, bribing insiders, fabricating stories, speculating wantonly, tracking the police, and showing the faces of unscrupulous media to the fullest - they don't care about the life or death of the victim, which is very similar to the TW "Bai Bingbing kidnapping case" back then.
Ratings and circulation are supreme, and maybe the media will be happier when these three people die. One of these reporters is fortunate to have a disciplined demeanor.
In the case of the gradual deterioration of the public opinion environment, in order to try to recover the bad influence as soon as possible, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's new generation of "rising stars", when the hot double-flower red stick Nishikujo Ruri and Nishikujo Group were forcibly transferred to take charge of this series of cases, the only problem is that Nishikujo Ruri's age and rank are not convincing to the public, and it is easy for the public to think that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department does not pay attention to these cases.
In order to give an account to public opinion, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent another police officer as the nominal person in charge - this is also the protection of the elders of the Nishikujo Ruri family. If the case is solved, everyone will naturally be happy, everyone has merit, and Nishikujo Ruri's resume will be painted with gold paint; if the case can't be solved, this police officer will have to take responsibility decisively, anyway, with his age, he would have to retire.
Nishikujo Ruri, on the other hand, is more concerned about cases involving child and women, but she will take other cases seriously when they are handed over to her. If she can't do it, it will be more difficult for other policemen - her level is the top of the first-line backbone elite, and then she will be promoted to develop closer to the government affairs, there is no lack of identity and experience, and she is born with good conditions and a wide range of contacts, other policemen need to be cautious in many things, lest mistakes affect the future, but she can take her head hard, use more resources than others, get help that others can't get, and even if she violates the rules, she often raises the stick high, and finally slaps her ass lightly.
Nishikujo Ruri is also very good at taking advantage of herself, as for whether others will say sour things, Nishikujo Ruri doesn't care about these, you have to make good use of your natural conditions, is it fair to break a leg yourself?
It's just that this case is too tricky, and she suddenly took it over and it was all a mouse pulling a turtle, and she had nowhere to put her mouth.
Kitagawa Jiro knocked on the door and walked in, handing her a document: "Group leader, this is the on-site appraisal report, the interrogation transcript and the picture." β
Nishikujo Ruri took it and flipped through it carefully, and asked, "Has the nearby surveillance video been extracted?"
"I extracted it, but I didn't get anything...... I couldn't find a picture of how they came here and how they left. β
Nishikujo Ruri nodded silently, this was expected, if the case was solved, there would be no need to temporarily arrest her. She read the information in her hand, and there was nothing particularly unusual about the on-site appraisal report, there was no bloodstain, no traces of fighting, and the records were even more varied, some said that she saw Eguchi Masaaki take the initiative to jump off the building, some said that she saw Eguchi Masaaki jumping off the building with others, and some said that Eguchi Masaaki was pushed downstairs.
Attached to the end, according to the oral description of the eyewitnesses, the picture of the gangster is even more painful - there are people who look like the Hulk, some are covered in hair, and even one has a big long tail, which is obviously influenced by the public opinion environment, film and television works, and added their own brain supplements, and made up such a monster in the case of confusion in memory.
Nishikujo Ruri silently closed the information, it was useless, but she didn't despise it either: "Beichuan, wait for these people's heads to calm down and then ask them again, there are ...... Find a few media outlets to ask for the pictures they took outside when we went out of the scene, and check the identities of the people who appeared inside to see if there are any suspicious characters. β
Many criminals with excellent psychological quality will go to the scene after committing the crime and wait for the discovery to see, in addition to satisfying the perverted psychological desire, but also by the way to see what the police plan to do - this kind of thing has happened more than once, once the serial murderer was caught after the police were stunned to find that this guy is very familiar, a check found that every time he is in the crowd of onlookers, and even eavesdropping on the police to discuss the case, the result is extremely strong anti-reconnaissance ability. If it weren't for the fact that the victim accidentally injured him during his last murder, he wouldn't have been caught yet!
In the current situation, it cannot be ruled out that one of the suspects or the gang will not look at the situation outside the scene, and it cannot be ruled out that they want to find out if the police have found anything, so checking the crowd of onlookers is also a way, although it may not work.
"Is there anything recorded in the security system of the Eguchi Masaaki family?" said Ruri Nishikujo after a moment's thought.
"Destroyed. Kitagawa Jiro is also an old fritter, and many things have been done without being reminded by Nishikujo Ruri, he sighed: "It shouldn't be a single person who committed the crime, it's a group of veterans, and there is no trace left, and it suddenly appears and disappears."
Nishikujo Ruri groaned silently, criminals don't make mistakes, and the police really don't recruit - criminals don't make mistakes and don't leave clues, where can they find people in the vast sea?
As soon as she reached out and picked up her trench coat, she said, "You stay in the headquarters and continue to receive feedback from all sides, and I will go around the scene to see if I can find anything." β
Kitagawa Jiro bowed his head and said, "Everyone is scattered, let's take Kazuno with the head of the group." "Orange Heart and Nai are considered to be the internal staff and clerks of the West Kowloon Group.,Belong to the Beichuan faction in the West Kowloon Group.,Right now, the people who have committed major crimes have been sent out to understand the victim's social relationships.γWhether there is any abnormality recently.,She's a little more leisure.γ Of course, having more contact with a boss with a background will also facilitate the promotion of Kazuno Orange Heart, which is a little selfishness of Jiro Kitagawa.
Orange Heart and Nai are afraid that they will not be able to marry in a short period of time, and they are unwilling to be transferred, so they can only strive for a promotion and a salary increase, and Kitagawa Jiro still cares about his juniors very much.
Nishikujo Ruri didn't object, the criminal police usually don't go out alone when they perform their official duties-in case something happens, such as shooting in a critical situation, they also need a witness-she put on a trench coat and called Orange Heart Kazuno and left.
Unable to grasp the clue, she plans to focus on Eguchi Masaaki's case first, and she wants to go to the place where Eguchi Masaaki has worked and lived.
