On the train to Odacho, Kiyomi Ruri's eyes drooped slightly, and she was in a very good mood, and under her unwavering request, Nanahara Takeshi finally gave in and was forced to embark on the road of investigating the case with her.

Takeshi Nanahara sat beside her, squinting and dozing off, sleeping as much as he could.

He doesn't have a good way now, Qingjian Liuli's Laipi dog is blocked at the door of his house, he can't beat and beat, scold and scold and can't leave, his head is about to crack, let alone sleep, he can't do anything, he has to come, but he is not a character who suffers, this account will have to be settled with her sooner or later, and she will definitely cry and call her father when she turns back.

The two of them had their own calculations in their hearts, and soon arrived at Odamachi Station.

Located on the outskirts of Hirano, Oda is already on the edge of the city, with pastures leading to the villages, towns, and satellite towns of Hirano to the south, west, and north, and the mountains to the east.

After leaving the station, Kiyomi Ruri looked left and right, and saw two criminal policemen, Okuno and Hidaka, and hurriedly raised their hands to say hello.

The two of them couldn't investigate the case, and no one might be able to inquire, so Kiyomi Ruri called Taiji Okuno to page, indicating his willingness to come to help, and Taiji Okuno agreed very happily.

This is also the real reason why she insisted on dragging Takeshi Nanahara to come, if she wanted to find out the truth by herself, there was a chance that Taiji Okuno would not bird her.

"Nanahara-san, Kiyomi-san, good morning." Okuno and Hidaka greeted him politely, "I didn't expect you to remember this incident and be willing to assist the police for free, thank you so much." ”

Nanahara Takeshi opened his mouth to speak, and Kiyomi Ruri rushed in front of him and said enthusiastically: "This is what we should do, and it is our obligation to assist the police in solving the case...... Isn't that right, Nanahara-san? ”

Nanahara Takeshi had already finished the draft, and was ready to turn around and let the dead girl Kiyomi Ruri "pull Qing Dan to the chrysanthemum bloom", nodding indifferently.

Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji looked relieved, feeling that the national education is still doing well, and the younger generation has a sense of justice - the news is really unreliable, saying all day long that the new generation has been abolished, where does this look like a scrap?

I'm still very motivated!

After a few pleasantries, the four of them walked out of the station together, and Kiyomi Ruri asked with concern, "Officer Okuno, how is the case now?" ”

Taiji Okuno replied: "The above is very serious about this case, and last night we set up a search headquarters (equivalent to China's task force) to assign tasks overnight, two of us are responsible for visiting and inquiring about nearby residents, and the other groups are responsible for investigating Yosuke Tominaga's interpersonal relationships in his work, and investigating the scum of the district with a history of burglary and robbery...... and go to various insurance companies and banks to investigate his financial status such as insurance and investment."

Kiyomi Ruri has automatically entered the state of "Miss Ruri Morse", and asked, "Did the forensic class find anything at the scene?" ”

Taiji Okuno's face sank, "The murderer is very cunning, and he has perfectly erased all traces, even if the equipment of the identification class is more advanced, and he uses professional bloodstain detection equipment, nothing has been found, and he can only confirm that the scene has been cleaned up very thoroughly, and even the fingerprints of Yosuke Tominaga himself have not been found." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was surprised: "Even the entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and even the second floor and yard have been cleaned?" Originally, she thought it was only half a living room, but she didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated.

"Yes." Taiji Okuno nodded first, and then said with a puzzled expression, "How did the murderer do all this in just seven or eight minutes?" It is built one by one, up and down the stairs plus the yard, the area is almost 400 square meters, and it takes twenty or thirty minutes to simply clean the ground, right? ”

Kiyomi Ruri couldn't think of a reason, and subconsciously looked at Takeshi Nanahara, only to see Takeshi Nanahara pulling his eyelids and still not waking up, he couldn't help but pout his lips in disgust, and his gaze turned back to Taiji Okuno: "What about the autopsy report?" Officer Okuno, can the autopsy report provide clues? ”

"Post-mortem report? There was no post-mortem report. Taiji Okuno was still thinking about the puzzle just now, and replied casually.

"Ah, no autopsy?" Kiyomi Ruri was shocked, this is different from the mystery novel, according to the reasoning novel, as long as the protagonist is in need, shouldn't there be a big "fierce" female forensic doctor on call 24 hours a day?

Of course, Okuno said: "Of course not, there is no forensic doctor at the police station, there is no medical university in Hirano, and there is no one with forensic qualifications, and if an autopsy is necessary, the victim's body needs to be transported to Sapporo, but the cause of Yosuke Tominaga's death is very clear, so there is no need for that." ”

Kiyomi Ruri cracked, "There is no forensic doctor at the police station, this is ...... That's not quite right, right? ”

Taiji Okuno suddenly said, "Does Kiyomi-san not know about the police agency?" It's normal that we don't have a medical examiner, and most police stations don't.

The general autopsy is usually carried out by the forensic section of the 'corpse examination', which will do a standard toxic substance test, which can detect more than 200 kinds of toxic substances commonly found in the market, and will also carefully determine the cause of death of the victim, speculate on what the murder weapon is, and if necessary, also conduct a local autopsy, which is enough to assist in the detection of the case.

But they don't have forensic qualifications and can't produce a legally effective autopsy report, so they usually call us and talk to us after they find an abnormality. ”

Kiyomi Ruri breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this is about the same, otherwise this police is also a regular police organization in a modern country, how can it be careless of human life, it's just ......

Is it really reliable for a so-called "autopsy" to be conducted by someone who has only undergone training and has not undergone a systematic education in forensic science?

Why is it still a little unsettling?

However, in front of the police, she was embarrassed to raise this question, so she could only nod her head again and again: "I see, I see, then do you find that the posture of Fu Yongsan's body is a little strange?" Is there a specific arrangement for this? ”

Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji were stunned at the same time, and Taiji Okuno hesitated: "The body posture...... Any questions? ”

Bastard, you really didn't find out, both of us college students found out! Last night, all night plus one night, did you dare to achieve nothing?

Kiyomi Ruri's facial expression was distorted, and he forcibly swallowed back the sentence "You are actually a rice bucket group that only receives a salary", and said in a stiff tone: "Of course there is a problem, there is a high probability that Tominaga-san was not simply killed, he was forced to make a mistake." ”

"Fault?" Taiji Okuno and Hidakashi looked at each other, "Shouldn't you cut off your head, his head is still around his neck!" ”

Kiyomi Ruri was completely desperate, and quickly popularized the "development process of the intermediary" to them, that is, the information she just found in the book last night - the development of anything is not achieved overnight, and of course the same is true for disembowelment.

For example, the initial caesarean section didn't make the wrong person at all, and the most miserable one wailed for nineteen hours after cutting his belly before he died, resulting in no beauty and an embarrassing scene, so it developed to first scratch the belly and then prick the throat, and then to ask someone to help prick the throat, and then there was a formal intermediary person to help cut off the cervical vertebrae, and finally the big Jiecuo, Tian Jiecuo and Xiao Jiecuo began to cut the skull together.

After listening to the "Kepu", Okuno Taiji suddenly realized, took out the photos of the scene and studied it for a while, and felt that she was quite reasonable, and his expression immediately became serious: "So, Yosuke Tominaga once offended the murderer fiercely, this case is not a simple burglary, and the direction of the search should be adjusted to the person who has a grudge against him?" ”

"Yes......" Kiyomi Ruri didn't help other people's excitement at this time, and only felt weak.

It's confirmed, it's true that the police are really not good at their professional ability, no wonder they are scolded every day!

Hidakaji thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, Yosuke Tominaga took or stole some treasure from the murderer, so the murderer sneaked into his house, forced him to find out the whereabouts of the treasure, and then killed him angrily and made him kneel in the place where the treasure was hidden to apologize?" ”

"It's quite possible!" This speculation is quite reliable, and Kiyomi Ruri's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the dawn of solving the case.

"Great, I didn't expect progress to be made so quickly!" Taiji Okuno said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Nanahara-san and Kiyomi-san, I will report to the authorities immediately and adjust the direction of the search." ”

…………

The two criminal policemen, Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji, originally came to conduct ordinary visits to nearby residents today, which was just a routine before solving the case, but now that the case is suddenly clear, their motivation has also come up, and they have accelerated their speed to take Takeshi Nanahara and Kiyomi Ruri to Tominaga's house.

On the way, Okuno also had high hopes for Nanahara Takeshi, and said politely: "Nanahara-san, now it is almost confirmed that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and Tominaga-san's neighbor is greatly suspicious. ”

Nanahara Takeshi was sleep-deprived, and he was still a little dazed, so he casually made an "OK" gesture.

The four of them soon came to the front of Tominaga's house, and found that there were a lot of white chrysanthemums, white lilies, and long-branched daffodils, and even a few bear cloth dolls and dolls in them, probably placed by children.

In addition to this, there are traces of white wax.

This situation is a bit like a "road festival", if someone dies due to a car accident or other reasons, but the funeral cannot be held for a while, his relatives and friends will lay flowers and wax at the place where he died to express their reluctance.

Kiyomi Ruri saw it after getting out of the car, clasped his hands together, saluted the bouquet, and sighed to Nanahara Takeshi: "It was his neighbors who put it, the neighborhood relationship in this town should be good, but it's a pity that such a tragedy happened, and it is estimated that many people will have a psychological shadow." ”

Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji came over to take a look and didn't care, they had seen this kind of thing a lot, but they also bowed and flipped through the notepad, pointed to a house next to Tominaga's house and said, "Let's start with this house." ”

Nanahara Takeshi and Kiyomi Ruri naturally have no opinion, and even Kiyomi Ruri is still vigilant, after all, if they are close to each other, the probability of committing a crime is the highest, and it is also the most convenient to escape.

But it didn't take three minutes for her to be deflated, there was an old couple living here, very old, full of silver threads, teeth were about to fall out, one of them was still in a wheelchair, let alone the murder, it was a victory to not be murdered.

The old couple, surnamed Hamano, was not surprised by the police coming to the door, but they just looked at Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi curiously, and then made tea and warmly entertained their group.

This obviously can't be a murderer, and at such an old age, Taiji Okuno spoke softly, for fear that if his voice was a little higher, the old man and the old lady would go to the Pure Land of Bliss with their hearts.

"Did you two hear anything unusual the night before?"

The old lady Hamano in a wheelchair put her hands on her ears and turned her head sideways and said loudly, "What did you say?" ”

The old man Hamano patted his wife's hand, coughed dryly and said, "I'm sorry, two police officers, we went to bed early, and we were a little behind our ears when we were old, so we didn't hear anything." ”

Taiji Okuno was not surprised, wrote it down in a small notebook, and asked a few questions in a row, such as whether there was any abnormality found in the yard, whether there was anything missing at home, etc., and then asked the key question: "The two of you should be familiar with Yosuke Tominaga, do you know if he has offended anyone?" For example, if you have a financial dispute with someone and have you ever had a conflict? ”

The old man Hamano thought for a while and said slowly, "As far as I know, there shouldn't be. We used to be a village, but then a large company wanted to develop a commercial and leisure area, so we moved here collectively, and we got a lot of land replacement money, especially for the Tominaga family...... Well, that was seven or eight years ago, when the land price was very high, and he exchanged the land left by his parents for a large sum of money, and he would not have disputes with others over money. ”

"We know that Yosuke Tominaga has plenty of money on hand, but did he lend money to others, or make investments or anything like that, or did he have any emotional disputes? Have you ever had a conflict with someone else over the purchase of collectibles? ”

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be, Yosuke's kid ......" Hamano sighed deeply when he said this, "He has a quiet and generous personality since he was a child, he doesn't laugh or speak, he treats people politely, he is not rebellious or naughty, he will try his best to help anyone who has something, he doesn't argue with others when others blame him, he can say that he is a good boy who follows the rules, he usually goes home after work, and he doesn't go out much after he gets home, it's hard to imagine that he will have conflicts with others." ”

"That's the case......" Taiji Okuno was a little disappointed, and asked casually, "Have you seen any suspicious people in the town these days?" ”

The old man Hamano hesitated for a moment, and the old lady suddenly stretched out her head, shaking a silver thread, as if she had finally heard a certain word, and said loudly: "Suspicious person? Yes, there's a kid I've never seen who is always around the neighborhood, and I've seen him a few times! ”

The old man Hamano was stunned, glanced at his wife, seemed to remember something, stretched out his hand and patted his bald head, and sighed: "Old, old, bad memory, it seems that there is such a person, we see him always passing by when we see him coming and going, so we want to ask him who he is looking for, but he ignores us." ”

Kiyomi Ruri's spirits lifted, and he couldn't control his "detective soul" anymore, and asked nervously, "Do those two remember what he looks like?" ”

"What did you say?" The old lady clenched her ears and shouted again.

Kiyomi Ruri also shouted, "I said, grandma, do you remember what he looks like?" ”

"Of course I do!" The old lady felt that she was arguing with someone, and her voice was not ordinarily high, "I'm only 95, and I have a very good memory!" ”

"And what does he look like?" Kiyomi Liuli Tongyin called out, and Nanahara Takeshi covered his ears with a helpless face next to him, and the last sleepiness was forcibly dispersed.

The old lady's voice raised synchronously, as if she was about to lift off the roof, "The face is square, there are a pair of very thick broom eyebrows, a big nose, a height of one meter seven, wearing a black suit, a Yamamoto head, and a blue tie with thin white stripes!" ”

Kiyomi Ruri wrote hard to write, and remembered it in the small notebook she didn't know when she touched it, and she was in a good mood that she was about to explode!

Good guy, it really didn't take any effort to find a suspect so quickly, as long as you follow the vine, maybe the case can be solved today!

If I knew that I wouldn't have called this kid here, it wouldn't be useful to call him, it's really redundant!
