Kamio Kaede found a cool and ventilated bench with her and sat down, rummaged through the briefcase, and said, "Or do you understand me, do you know that I plan to ask your opinion?" ”

"That's not it, I'm just boring, there are no big cases in Nanya recently, and I go out on duty all day long, and I want to change my brain."

Kamio Kaede deliberately squeezed his eyebrows at her, "I heard that you were 2 points short of being admitted to the professional group, how can you say that you are my junior sister, you look at the case file, can you have any more unconventional ideas?" ”

Ohino Nana smiled, "You are really a scoundrel, I will help you see that it is love, but you can't see anything with the ticket." Besides, even you find it tricky, I can't help it. ”

"No, no, no, there is a proverb that says three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, I can't see it alone, so find a few more helpers, it will always work."

Nana Ogino smiled and scared him, "Leaking the file information of the criminal case without authorization, be careful that I report you for dereliction of duty!" And you're a stooge! ”

Kamio Kaede waved his hand, "Yes, anyway, this case is an unprecedented mess, and the probability of cracking it is only about a few thousandths, and if it is leaked or not, it will have no impact, and if it can't be solved, it will be called a shame, and dereliction of duty is nothing." ”

Nana Ogino was looking through the dossier, and soon, the phone rang, she picked it up and listened, then stood up and said, "Section Chief Koike has finished the meeting, we can go over to find her." ”

Heisei 16 was in charge of investigating the disappearance of Nanae Yamamoto was Officer Tomomi Koike, who was a newcomer to the police station and had no name when he handled the case, and is now the head of the police section of the Shibuyami Police Department.

Kamio Kaede didn't expect it to be a female section leader, which is really rare.

"Hello Chief Koike, I'm Kamio Kaede, the ...... of the Criminal Division of the North Police Station"

"I just had a meeting, I'm sorry! Keeping you waiting. Tomomi Koike pointed to the couch in her office and asked him to sit down.

Nana Ogino also sat down.

Tomomi Koike is probably in her early forties, and her face does not have the vicissitudes of ordinary middle-aged women, but is very white, and she should pay attention to maintenance in private.

She sat behind the desk in her uniform, and her slightly fat figure was lined with a heroic posture by the police uniform, and a sense of leadership majesty emerged spontaneously.

In contrast, Kitamura Yuki, who is still struggling with the position of department chief at the age of 45, is a bit like a negative textbook.

"That's right, I'm here for the disappearance of Nanae Yamamoto in Heisei 16, and you know that a skeleton was dug up in Sakata-cho two days ago......"

"I know, when I was in Heisei 16, I was a patrol officer in the area of Sakata Town, and I was also patrolling near Sakata Town that night, and I was the first person to handle this disappearance case, so if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

"Oh, I want to ask, fifteen years ago, what was the situation in Sakata Town?"

"At that time, Sakata Town had just started to be developed, and it was surrounded by wasteland, and there was only one decent road, which is now Shin-Uotsusuketsu Road. At that time, it was still a main road, but later with the development of the city, a wider road was built next to it, so it became a secondary road.

Other than that, there aren't any decent roads around. It was written in the case file that Koda Wen's wife got off at the station early and took the main road home, and the security of that era was too dangerous for women to dare to go home without permission. ”

"So you must be walking the avenue back home?"

"I can't be wrong, Sakata Town is the original Shin-Uozu South Road, and it was a real main road back then. Originally, Nanae Yamamoto wanted to take the main road to meet her husband, but she didn't think that her husband would take a shortcut to Ginza Station in order to be in a hurry, and the two of them separated by mistake, which is a pity. ”

"I know, although Nanae Yamamoto was indeed dug up next to the main road back then, could it be ......?"

Tomomi Koike waved her hand, "I understand what you mean, do you want to say that it was the murderer who killed her from somewhere else and then transported her there to bury her?" This is simply impossible, and the area along Bantian Road used to go all the way east from Ginza Station, with a 24-hour convenience store and a bank in the middle, as well as migrant workers from nearby construction sites and a gas company.

If the murderer transports the body, he will definitely pass through the construction site and the gas company, and the construction site will be open at that time, and the body will definitely be discovered by workers or security guards...... So I'm sure that the first scene is in the pit where Nanae Yamamoto's bones were excavated, and it can't be that the murderer killed her somewhere else! ”

"Did you find anything during the investigation back then?"

"There is no way to investigate at all, one is that at that time, I didn't expect that Nanae Yamamoto was killed, so the police investigation was not strong enough. Then there were a lot of migrant workers at the nearby construction sites, and the mobility was relatively large, and even some of them were black households, which was quite difficult to investigate, and finally it was gone.

If the body could have been found in time and officially filed as a murder, the murderer might have been found, but unfortunately it was too late. ”

Speaking of which, Tomomi Koike felt a little sorry, it was probably because of such an investigation omission that the murderer escaped from under his nose, so he was at large for so many years.

Kamio Kaede nodded, with the conditions of the year, it was indeed a bit of a waste of police power to treat a missing case as a murder to conduct a large-scale investigation.

He asked again, "Nanae Yamamoto's husband, Fumi Koda, how about the investigation......

"I know that whether it is a disappearance or a homicide, until the murderer is identified, it is the family who is most suspicious. Although Koda was already a staff member of the Public Prosecutor's Office at the time, the investigation that should have been accepted was the same, and I asked it myself clearly.

From the point of view of time, on July 20, Nanae Yamamoto called home at around 22:00 and said that she was going to take the train home from work, and asked Koda to ride to the station to pick her up. The police calculated the speed at which Koda would ride to Ginza Station, and it would take about half an hour, which means that he would arrive at Ginza Station at around 22:30.

It also takes about half an hour for Nanae Yamamoto to arrive at Ginza Station by train, so normally, around 22:30, Nanae Yamamoto and her husband Fumi Koda will meet at the station. ”

Tomomi Koike took a sip of tea and continued, "But sometimes, people's luck is just like that, and that day, Nanae Yamamoto's train arrived early, so she went home on the main road she usually took, and she probably thought she could meet her husband."

But fortunately, the path that Tian Wen copied that day, and the two of them just forked in the road. Koda said that after he arrived at the station, he did not wait for his wife, and only rode back along the road for about half an hour, hoping to pick up his wife.

This time is about 23:00, at this time Koda Wen rode home, and his daughter confirmed that her father did return home around 23:30, which means that there was no time to do anything else on the way.

After coaxing the child to sleep, about half an hour later, seeing that his wife had not yet arrived home, Koda Wen realized that something might have happened, so he went out to look for it again, and it was already 00:00 on July 21. ”

Kamio Kaede listened while recording in the notebook, drew a timeline, and questioned: "This doesn't prove that Koda Wen didn't have the time to commit the crime, if he rides quickly, ......"

"It's unlikely, I also lived in the Sakata area back then, and the distance between going to work and getting to Ginza Station is about the same, and it takes half an hour to ride a full trip. Moreover, it is necessary to complete the killing, moving the corpse, digging the pit, and filling the soil, which is a series of operations that cannot be completed in two hours. So even if Koda Wen received his wife at 22:30, it would be impossible to kill and bury the body and go home at 23:30 to put his daughter to sleep. ”

"What about another time?"

"Are you saying that you go home and coax your daughter and then go back to dig a pit and bury people? It's also impossible, from 00:00 when he goes out, even if he rides back and forth with a lot of physical strength and is useless, it still has to be 00:30 near Ginza. Digging a large earth pit in the shape of a human figure, I was busy at 02:30, and I remember that it was 01:30, and I led a team to patrol the road in Sakata-cho, and the police records in the file are all written.

From 00:30 to 1:30 for an hour, if he digs a hole, I must have seen it when I was patrolling, so he can't dig a hole and see me hide, right? After that, at 03:00, an hour and a half after I finished patrolling, Koda had already gone to the police station to report the crime. It's too ......late to dig a pit and bury the corpse to call the police in such a short time."

"When you were on patrol that night, were you sure you didn't miss anything?"
