In the room of the Hanato Brigade in Wuwei Town, Oguri Kamono and Nanahara Takeshi exchanged pleasantries for a moment and returned to the main story and began to explain the basic situation of the case.

Well, colleagues were killed, and the Rising Sun River criminal police are also working hard, and they have basically sorted out the ins and outs of the case and delineated the scope of suspects, but it is difficult to find the specific murderer for a while, and these situations Oguri Kamano has inquired clearly through his friend Kenji Takiri at the same time, and now he will explain it to Takeshi Nanahara, so that he knows it.

His younger brother, Oguri Ginkawa, 36, graduated from Sapporo Graduate School and subsequently took the local civil service examination to become a Hokkaido Provincial Police Officer.

By the way, Oguri Kamano was also assigned to work at the Hirarano Police Station, and it is possible that he will be transferred back to the Provincial Police Headquarters or transferred to other places in the future, but that depends on his future development.

If it is good, he may go directly to the criminal department of the provincial police headquarters, or go to a new police station to become a criminal police boss similar to "Wu Tengan"; If it's bad, you may be exiled for making a mistake and go to a remote town to continue to be a small boss, or you may even be pushed to the end and forced to resign with dignity, just like Mori Kogoro to become a detective.

Well, Maori Kogoro seems to have shot his wife by mistake because of a certain hijacking incident, and was forced to resign with dignity due to improper use of firearms, and became a decadent detective who lives by drinking and gambling all day long - this is very strict with the management of police guns, and you will be held accountable even if you commit suicide with a police gun, let alone accidentally shooting your wife.

Oguri Ginkawa's career path is similar to that of his brother, and even Mori Kogoro, who is currently working in the arson department of the Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Asahigawa Police Station, and has worked hard to improve his qualifications, which was originally very normal, but he happened to meet a college classmate who came to travel and vacation in the city of Asahigawa yesterday, and it happened to be close to the weekend break, so he was invited to participate in the "class reunion", and then he was killed between 1 and 3 o'clock that night.

The discoverer was two waitresses on duty at the hotel, they passed by Oguri Yinchuan's room at about half past three at night, and found that his door was not closed tightly, and the light was on, thinking that he had not rested, so he kindly asked him if he needed tea and snacks, but after asking a few words, no one said anything, and a famous waitress stretched out her head to take a look, and immediately found that Oguri Yinchuan had been killed.

The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head, which was almost fatal, and before he died, he smeared an X with his own blood, but the police have not yet figured out what this means.

The waitress who found out that Oguri Yinchuan was killed was not very old, and for the first time in her life, she faced the scene of the murder for the first time, or in the middle of the night, screaming violently on the spot, waking everyone in the hotel like pulling the air raid siren, attracting a large number of people to watch, although it did not destroy the indoor scene much, but the outside was a mess anyway, and even Kiyomi Ruri ran over to take a look.

Speaking of which, Kiyomi Ruri couldn't help it, and while copying the key points in the small notebook, he asked curiously: "Wait, Oguri Police Department, judging from the situation of your brother's murder, he was attacked in the back, so he can turn his back to someone defenselessly, it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime, right?" What about his college classmates, he should be the most suspicious, right? ”

Oguri Kamano nodded, subconsciously took out half a pack of flattened cigarettes, and seemed to want to light one, but immediately reacted that it was inappropriate, stuffed it back into his pocket, and sighed: "I was about to talk about this, the suspect who is currently locked on the side of the Asahikawa Police Station is indeed my brother's college classmate, but...... Twelve of them came this time. ”

"Twelve?" Kiyomi Liuli was taken aback, but he didn't expect so many people.

Oguri Kamano sighed: "College classmates are a valuable network resource in the eyes of ordinary people, and most of his college classmates stayed in Sapporo after graduation. Judging from the inquiries, they have to get together several times a year, and sometimes there are dozens of participants. This was just a small temporary party, and someone suggested going out together during the Golden Week party, and some people with a high degree of professional freedom responded, and they just ran into my brother as soon as they arrived in Asahigawa City. ”

Kiyomi Ruri immediately asked, "What about alibi, who doesn't have an alibi?" ”

Oguri Kamano patiently replied: "It was night, and everyone's alibi was not sufficient, at most they could only protect each other, and most of them claimed to be asleep. The waitress at the hotel had all asked, and no one had seen anyone in or out of my brother's room, and no one had heard anything special. ”

Kiyomi Ruri wrote it down in the small notebook, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, there are so many suspects, and there are no witnesses who can provide clues, and it is really not a case that can be clarified in a day or two, no wonder Oguri Kamono is in a hurry.

Nanahara Takenori touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked with a smile, "Does your brother often attend this kind of class reunion?" ”

Oguri Kamono immediately shook his head and said: "Judging from the inquiry record, he almost never participated, this time it was an unexpected encounter yesterday and he got an invitation, so he found it himself after work, and it was almost eight o'clock when he came." ”

Nanahara Takeshi nodded and asked again: "Then who does the Oguri Police Department think is more suspicious at present?" ”

Oguri Yano recalled for a while, shook his head again and said, "No, it's difficult to judge the motive for the crime. If the murderer is really among them, I really can't think of any hatred that can last so long, they have graduated for more than ten years, even if there are any conflicts in school, they will not hold a grudge after so long, and they have to kill someone. ”

Kiyomi Ruri also frowned and thought hard, thinking that what Oguri Kamono said made sense.

A group of old classmates who haven't seen each other for more than ten years, even if there are conflicts in school, how much hatred can they have? If it was a deep hatred that I couldn't forget for more than ten years, I would have come to him for revenge a long time ago, but if the hatred was not high, I suddenly ran into Oguri Yinchuan and had the intention of killing him...... It's all a group of adults who are running for four, with their own families, careers and lives, as for being so reckless?

Could it be related to school bullying?

When I saw it, I suddenly remembered the past and killed it?

She immediately asked, "Then is the conflict between your brother and them in college being investigated?" ”

Oguri Kamano nodded and said: "Of course, the Rising Sun River Police Station will definitely investigate, and I have repeatedly asked about the possibility of vendetta in the transcript, my brother has had a small conflict with several of them, but they are all trivial things, really the motive for the crime...... Personally, I would be skeptical at first. ”

After a pause, he sighed, lowered his head and said seriously, "Nanahara-san, please leave it this time, please lock up the suspect as soon as possible." As long as the suspect is locked in, the in-depth investigation can be done on my own. ”

Oguri Kamano is now lacking a direction, there are too many suspects, there is no directional evidence or motive for the crime, he can't start the investigation if he wants to, and what's worse is that if he can't find directional evidence and motive for the crime, the Asahigawa Police Station can't keep these people for a long time to assist in the investigation, these people turn back to Sapporo, the situation is even more uncontrollable, and it is not impossible for the murderer to find a reason to fly abroad one day.

Of course, if he can be patient in other cases, he can investigate slowly, and the murderer will be issued a wanted warrant when he runs away, but his brother's case will not be able to come step by step, it is best to find out the murderer and detain it before these "old classmates" return to Sapporo - the evidence can be found slowly, anyway, people have to find a way to detain it first, and they can't let him have the slightest hope of escaping.

Nanahara Takeshi understood his urgent mood, and wanted the bowl again, and immediately said seriously: "Please rest assured, Oguri Police Department, I will do my best, but I need to go to the scene of the crime to see, goodbye to Brother Ling's old classmates, these need to be thought of." ”

"No problem, please follow me!" Oguri Kamano was already prepared, and immediately took him to his friend Kenji Takiri, who was at the same time. He had already thought about it, he couldn't directly intervene in the investigation of the case, but Nanahara Takeshi was fine, and the Rising Sun River Police Station could also ask for foreign help!

…………

"Is Nanahara-san really okay?" Kenji Tanakiri looked at Nanahara Takeshi wearing sunglasses and holding a blind cane, and he couldn't understand it a little, even if he could see that Oguri Kamono was worried about the long nights and dreams, and wanted to lock on the suspect quickly, but get a ...... The blind man came, he was still a college student, was he a little sick and rushed to the doctor?

Little Chestnut Duck Ye can't help it, after all, a dead horse has to be a live horse doctor, and Nanahara Takeshi is a spirit medium, with some weird methods, maybe it's even more spiritual.

He immediately gave a detailed introduction to Tanakiri's "great achievements" to Tanakiri, talked about the cases he had assisted in the investigation of in Hirano for more than a month, and specifically pointed out that the reason why the previous "Hirano Serial Bombing Case" was able to be solved was that he should be the first to take the lead, and his eyes were accidentally injured because of the desperate search and rescue of hostages, he is definitely a super detective with ability and a sense of justice, and he can definitely become a big help to the Rising Sun River Police Station.

Speaking of other cases, Kenji Takiri may not know, Hirano is hundreds of kilometers away from the Rising Sun River, and the local newspapers don't care about what happened to Hirano, but the "serial bombing case" is different, very rare, not to mention the news channel of Hokkaido NHK, it is mentioned in the national news, of course he has heard of it, and even "sympathized" with his subordinates The Hirano Police Station is really eight lifetimes of blood mold, and I don't know what it will look like to be tossed by reporters when I look back.

Now listening to what Oguri Kamono said, he instantly looked at Takeshi Nanahara and was ready to make friends with him, after all, maybe the next unlucky guy would be him, in case he had a case that he couldn't solve, he could also ask Takeshi Nanahara to come and take a look!

Well, the police everywhere are a urine, and they don't feel ashamed to ask someone to help solve the case, and he is the same, he has no psychological burden at all.

Kenji Kirita's attitude immediately improved, and he said a few polite words in a row, and no longer questioned Takeshi Nanahara's ability, and immediately agreed that he would assist the Asahigawa police in solving the case, and directly arranged for someone to take him to see the scene first - Kakumaru Yuki was not interested in the case, and he was a child, so he didn't have to go, just go back to his room for lunch, and wait to go back to Hirano together.

…………

With the cooperation of the local police, things were much easier, and Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi immediately went to the scene of the crime.

The room at the scene of the crime has been investigated, and Oguri's body has been sent to the police station for a body examination, and there are only a lot of blood stains and a human-shaped white coil left on the tatami mat, while other things, such as Oguri Ginkawa's personal belongings, have not been touched for the time being, and are still in the room.

Kiyomi Ruri is very excited, and there is also a kind of concentration in the excitement, this is different from before, she is now the "eye" of Nanahara Takeshi, she must play everything she has learned before, carefully observe the scene, and tell Nanahara Takeshi everything without omission, so as to ensure that he has basic information to reason and deduce, and directly find the suspect.

She carefully supported Nanahara Takeshi, and whispered as she walked: "The layout of the room between us is the same, but the direction of the door is different; The door lock is normal, there is no damage or minor scratches; The entrance is also normal, there is a shoe rack on the left-hand side, on which are the soft-soled slippers provided by the hotel, a total of ...... Including what the deceased wore before, there are six pairs in total, which seems to be as many as in the room between us, and I will check with the maid later to make sure......"

She has been scolded by Nanahara Wu all day long for more than a month, and her brain has improved a lot, her observation ability has improved, and she can pay attention to many details that she couldn't think of before.

Qiyuan Takeshi is blind, her role is even greater, Qiyuan Takeshi must take her with him at any time if he wants to solve the case, he can't do without her at all, and she can also lead Qiyuan Takeshi around at will, he can't lose his temper.

It's a pity, this guy has only been blind for a month and a half, in fact, it's not impossible to be blind for two or three years, anyway, he can be his eyes and take care of him.

It's really a pity, if he had said so many things before, he would have started to be impatient, how well-behaved he is now!

Nanahara didn't listen to her at all, and while her attention was on the room furnishings, he pulled his sunglasses to his nose and scanned the room himself, looking for something suspicious.

Kiyomi Ruri didn't notice anything, slowly guided him to the room, and according to the white coil and the impression she witnessed last night, carefully described the posture of the deceased's body, and said: "The deceased smeared an X on the tatami mat with his right hand before he died, this should be an important clue, you should remember it." ”

Nanahara Takeshi took a look and found that it was not an "X" at all, and he had already started spraying before, but of course not now. Now it is very convenient to enslave Kiyomi Ruri in front of a blind man, and he can also make all kinds of demands that he will be beaten 100% in the past, and he is ready to talk about it after six weeks.

He said directly: "Very good, I now have a basic impression of the crime scene, and then take me to see the relics of the deceased." ”

"Okay." Kiyomi Ruri immediately guided him over, and said as he looked closely, "He didn't have much to carry, a bunch of keys, a pager, a black leather wallet, a small notepad, a ballpoint pen, and a book. ”

"Wallet?" Nanahara Takeshi asked pretending to ask while secretly looking at these things.

"An ordinary black leather wallet, it seems to have been used for a long time, and the corners are a little worn." Kiyomi Ruri went out to ask, and after making sure that the identification class had taken fingerprints, he took them out and let Nanahara Takeshi touch them, but he kept an eye on him, for fear that he would habitually put the money in his pocket, and continued, "There are three bank cards in it, as well as about 20,000 yen in banknotes and change, it seems that an acquaintance committed the crime, at least the murderer is not trying to get rich." ”

Nanahara Takeshi nodded, opened the small notepad and touched the contents again, and found that it was all about Oguri Yinchuan's work, nothing suspicious, and it had nothing to do with this class reunion.

Nothing else matters, the number in the pager will definitely be investigated by the police, and he doesn't need to care.

He picked up the book again, touched it casually, flipped through it a few more times, sniffed it, and said slightly strangely: "Did you just buy a new book?" The pages were astringent, the smell of ink was strong, and I hadn't turned them much. ”

Kiyomi Ruri also looked at it twice, but it is not surprising that commuting sometimes takes a long time to sit on the tram these days, and it is very boring to sit dry, and many people will carry a book with them to pass the time, just nodding and saying: "Yes, it looks like a new book, and the title of the book is "La Traviata". ”

Nanahara Takeshi put the book back, and for the time being, he couldn't see anything suspicious about the book, and it was normal for the other party to come on vacation to buy a book and look at it at night, and ordered, "Go and ask the forensic department about the investigation of the scene, and whether the murder weapon has been found." ”

Kiyomi Ruri went immediately, and Nanahara Takenori walked back to the room near the door, looking at the "corpse circle" on the ground and the red X-shaped bloodstain character in distraction.

At present, it seems that this is the only place that is not normal, but under what circumstances can a person who has been scooped on the back of his head still leave such marks?
