Chapter 4 Empathy

On the afternoon of December 16, Cha Xian visited Miura's parents.

His father, Akira Miura, was the director of Hokkaido's largest hospital, and he was a well-known figure in the local area, and he personally received the tea sen.

The pain of losing his son made him sleepless all night, and the silver threads on his sideburns, heavy bags under his eyes, and haggard expression made this middle-aged man in his fifties look like a sixty-year-old man.

But for the royal family, Miura still insisted on showing enough humility and obedience. With his experience and identity, he naturally has access to some upper-class people, and he knows the temperament of these people, as long as he still has the breath, it is best to try his best to meet their requirements, otherwise......

"I feel very sympathetic to what happened to you. After a few simple greetings with him, the tea fairy was ready to cut to the chase: "Right now, in order to find out the murderer of Miura-kun, I need to know something from you. ”

"The contemptible must know everything, and say everything. Miura replied respectfully.

Cha Xian understood that it was difficult for him to explain the matter and the situation: "Mr. Miura, do you know the current situation of the Suzuki Kiyoko family. ”

When he heard the name Suzuki, Akira Miura was like being beaten with chicken blood, his expression instantly turned from pale to blood-red, a large amount of blood rushed to his head, and his eyes were suddenly filled with fear and shock.

The tea fairy remained silent, watching the change in the other party's expression, and his tone changed from polite and polite just now to a not very friendly tone: "Oh...... That's the kind of reaction, you didn't think I'd find out about it, right? That's underestimating HL's abilities. ”

"Your Excellency...... You...... What are you talking about......" Miura stammered.

The tea fairy took advantage of this to take a sip of tea: "There is no point in pretending to be stupid now, please answer my question." ”

Akira Miura swallowed his saliva, tried to calm down, and replied, "After the Suzuki family left Hokkaido, I haven't heard from them again, so ...... It's been more than a year, isn't it ......?"

"Don't worry, it wasn't Suzuki who killed your son. The tea fairy already knew in his heart, and it seemed that Miura really didn't know the situation of the Suzuki family, so he said: "Kiyoko Suzuki is dead, on December 8 last year, she first stabbed her parents to death with a knife, then turned on the gas and burned her own home. ”

"That'...... Does this matter have anything to do with Kazuya's death?" asked Akira Miura.

"It doesn't matter, it's my business, you don't need to ask, keep listening, if there is a question, I'll stop and ask you. Cha Xian continued: "In September last year, Miura-kun was promoted to the first year of high school and met Kiyoko Suzuki, who was in the same class, and on September 4, something happened that caused Suzuki not to go to school the next day. Another day later, her family's bank account received a large amount of money transfer. For a family like Suzuki, that should be a huge amount of money.

A week later, the Suzuki family moved out of Hokkaido, and after further investigation, Kiyoko Suzuki did not transfer to another school, but took a leave of absence. After moving to Okinawa, she didn't seem to be seen much in public at all, and her parents had some records of buying depression medications, but they were soon interrupted as well, until three months later, a fire burned everything. ”

The tea fairy took a sip of tea, "Then, I can make such an assumption that the root cause of all tragedies is. That is, on September 4, Miura-kun committed a more serious crime, and since he has reached the age of 16, he is likely to face a prison sentence of about seven years. For a father, if things are allowed to develop, his son's studies, future, and life are likely to be ruined. So, you gave Kiyoko Suzuki's parents a sum of money and told them not to report the crime, keep their mouths shut, and settle the matter. Are there any inaccuracies in what I've said so far?"

Miura lowered his head, like a sinner on trial, "No...... There are no inaccuracies. ”

Cha Xian sneered: "Very good, it can be confirmed by the parties concerned, which shows that this simple reasoning has not gone astray." ”

At this point, Chasen has deduced the reason why Miura killed Matsuo, and confirmed the key clues to Tianyi's control of the situation.

"The next question, with what you know about your son, if there are enough conditions, will he kill in order to cover up the crime. The tea fairy asked.

When Miura Ming heard this question, he immediately had a bad premonition, could it be that his son wanted to kill people because of the crime he committed a year ago, but he was killed instead?

Seeing that he hesitated, the tea fairy added: "When I say 'sufficient conditions', I mean evading the punishment of the law after committing a crime through clever modus operandi. If Miura-kun gets this kind of protection, with his personality, will he take a risk?"

Miura was sweating profusely, he struggled for a long time, and replied with some annoyance and helplessness: "Do you have to force a father to answer this kind of question himself?"

The tea fairy took a sip of tea: "No need now, I already know your answer." "He is well versed in all kinds of psychological warfare techniques, as the so-called siege of the teacher must be que, if you force people into a desperate situation, people will definitely turn against you, and now this is not considered to be crossing the bottom line.

"One last question, where is the thing?" the tea fairy put down the tea in his hand and looked directly into Akira Miura's eyes.

"What are you talking about......" He couldn't hide his panic, and his body trembled slightly.

"On the twelfth, Miura-kun was killed, and you learned the news that night. Today is the sixteenth, and about three days have passed, and Madame Zun must be grief-stricken and unable to control herself, and I can still hear her sobbing faintly in the room on the second floor.

During these three days, as a father, you must have entered your son's room, whether you were intuitive or speculative, you must have searched for something to try to explain your son's death.

You must have found something, and as far as I can guess, you've seen the content, but don't understand the meaning, so you didn't destroy it, and of course you can't take the initiative to hand it over to the police.

You should have understood until I said to you, 'Enough conditions,' that thing ...... do."

The tea fairy said in an unquestioning tone, "Now...... Please leave the stuff to me. ”

The word "please" is not a joke, it is enough to scare people like Miura Akira who have ghosts in their hearts.

............

Walking out of Miura's house, Cha Xian got into the car again. In the past few days, Shimaki, the major, has basically served as the exclusive driver and private secretary of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and he does not dare to slack off at all.

"Sir, ......what are you holding?" asked Shimaki when he saw that Chasen had something extra in his hand when he came out of the house.

"Videotape. The tea fairy said: "Seeing Miura Ming, it's just to take this." ”

Shimaki started the engine: "Didn't you go to ask him about the case?"

"Suzuki's case, even a second-rate cop can deduce, it doesn't matter if he confirms it or denies it; Miura's character is the same when he asks anyone, it's all about seeing his reaction and pressuring him to hand things over. ”

Shimaki said: "That kind of bastard, he doesn't need to be so troublesome. ”

Cha Xian said: "I know that the best plan is to let him hand over things after entering the house, and if he says 'no', I will break one of his legs." ”

It didn't sound like he was joking, it seemed that the tea fairy had really considered doing this, but he then said, "Hehe...... Tianyi will definitely do that. The tea fairy suddenly smiled, chasing Tianyi's shadow all these years, making him unconsciously begin to imitate the other party's thinking patterns.

He then changed the subject: "It can't be said that there is no gain from Akira Miura, and most of the previous reasoning has been further confirmed.

According to the progress of the investigation left behind by Officer Whale Bird, there is no doubt that Matsuo was murdered, and Ikeda Nozomi was the first to discover the scene shortly after his death, and he did not report the crime, but chose to flee and tried to cover up the evidence that he had been to the scene, but he was not the murderer, and the real murderer was someone else.

The motive of the real murderer is a problem, but there is a day in this case, so it's simple. He's a sin peddler, and there are some self-proclaimed smart people in this world who do it, and they only sell tricks. And Tianyi not only provides methods, he can even give motivation. The most terrifying thing is that, after years of investigation, I found that the motives of those who died in Tianyi's game were not actually 'created' by Tianyi, but because they had 'sin' in their hearts.

The sinners will be punished against the cross.

What Tianyi did was to tear off the hypocrisy that people put on their faces, tear off the flesh and skin, and expose all the sin and ugliness, and then people would be devoured by their own filthy souls, until they died of that sin in the ugliest and most appropriate way. ”

The weather outside the car window was not bad, but Chasen's words were creepy: "Matsuo died from the reverse cross, and the person who killed him must have also participated in Tianyi's game, since it is not Nozomi Ikeda, or Takeshi Ikeda, or Kazuya Miura, because the other three dead were dead before Matsuo was killed."

On the night of the 10th, Takeshi Ikeda stayed at the izakaya until late and did not leave until late, so I could directly determine that the identity of the murderer was Miura. So the next question is, what is Tianyi's motivation for him? Why did this high school student kill his teacher?

Regarding the investigation of Matsuo's person, the police have done a very detailed job, which is also thanks to the whale, because he arrived at the scene as soon as possible, so the case was not handled in the same way as a suicide case, and the police completed their work more meticulously.

After having a general idea of Matsuo's character, I focused my attention on Miura, and last night I looked through his family's financial expenditures for nearly three years, and found that Akira Miura had remitted a large sum of money to a local family named Suzuki more than a year ago, and then the family moved away.

Since Miura has such a handle on him, Tianyi can completely take this as the content of the transaction and ask him to kill Matsuo. But when I thought about it, this is not in line with Tianyi's style, he should not directly ask others to kill, and this is also not in line with the law of death for 'sin'.

Matsuo must have done something to incur the murder. ”

Shimaki also thought at this time: "Could this be the case...... Tenichi tells Matsuo about Miura's handle, so that Miura has a motive to kill Matsuo!"

"That's right, and it also explains why Matsuo died of a 'sin', and he must have wanted to use this incident to blackmail Miura and eventually set himself on fire. Cha Xian said: "Knowing the murderer and motive, then the remaining problem is the method." Second Lieutenant Kuwabara's post-mortem report has pointed out the location and depth of the strangulation marks, which coincides with Officer Whale's initial judgment, and the police have also made the conclusion that the murder was disguised as a suicide scene, but they faced some difficulties in collecting evidence.

It can be seen that although this method of killing people cannot be called leaky, it is by no means indiscriminate. It is very difficult for an ordinary high school student to achieve such a point, and even if he has the psychological quality to commit crimes, it is difficult for him to accomplish this level in actual action.

is still the same sentence, fortunately, we know that there is Tianyi in this case, so Miura's way of killing is undoubtedly Tianyi's handiwork. He must have somehow taught Miura the steps of the crime, the tools needed, the details of the aftermath, and so on. ”

The tea fairy subconsciously patted the videotape next to the seat with his hand: "I thought it was a book, or a comic book, but I have found similar things before, some of which have been thrown away as garbage, and some have been stored and archived." Well, this is the first videotape. ”

Shimaki stopped at the red light: "Why didn't that Tianyi teach others how to kill people in person, but in the form of a book or a video?"

Cha Xian said: "I don't know, I can only guess about this, but it's not difficult to guess...... You can imagine a madman teaching the kids a college course in an elementary school class, and he said it two or three times, and the kids below didn't understand, so he couldn't help but take out a machine gun and start shooting at the crowd......"
