Chapter 40: The Case of Dumping Bodies Across Cities
"Moximoxi, ah, it's Officer Twilight, what's the matter?"
Yuki Shirakawa was playing games with her two cubs at home when she suddenly received a call from Officer Twilight.
"Sister Hoshino, I have a case here that needs your help, can you come to the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Yuki Shirakawa was a little strange, "Officer Twilight, didn't you look for Uncle Maori?" ”
Supposedly, Uncle Maori is more familiar with him, and "Sleeping Kogoro" is more famous than her in the detective industry, so why are you looking for her.
"Ah, that's the case, this case has a relatively large social impact, so although we have already found Maoli, I still want you to take a look, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible."
In fact, the real situation is that although he called Maori Kogoro over, he didn't give any guiding advice at all, so he thought of calling Yuki Shirakawa to come over and give it a try.
"Alright, Officer Twilight, can I bring my two children over? I'm not at ease to keep them at home. ”
Officer Twilight agrees to her request, and Yuki Shirakawa takes the two cubs with her.
……
When he arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Twilight looked at the two children and was a little strange, "Are they?" ”
Yuki Shirakawa touched the heads of the two cubs, "My younger brothers and sisters, come, Yangpei, Zero, say hello to Officer Twilight." ”
The two cubs said at the same time, "Hello Officer Twilight! ”
No more nonsense, Officer Twilight directly said about the case, "The place where the body was found is in Kyoto. ”
Officer Twilight had just said a word when he was interrupted by Yuki Shirakawa, "That's not right, Officer Twilight, it shouldn't be the Metropolitan Police Department's turn to take care of the case in Kyoto." ”
Officer Twilight continued, "Ahem, haven't I finished yet? Although the place where the body was found was in Kyoto, the scene of the crime was in Tokyo, so this case was jointly handled by Tokyo and Kyoto. ”
Yuki Shirakawa nodded, indicating that she understood.
Officer Twilight then spends a lot of time telling her about the situation, which is probably like this.
The deceased, Takaaki Goto, was a professor at the Department of Medicine at the University of Tokyo, and also provided technical support for some pharmaceutical companies, and enjoyed a certain reputation in the academic field, so his death still caused a certain social sensation.
The body was found by an elderly man in a village within Kyoto, and the deceased suffered multiple severe head wounds, but the cause of death was a penetrating wound to the left chest.
Yuki Shirakawa touched his chin, "Is the time of death confirmed?" ”
Officer Twilight said helplessly: "The preliminary judgment is that it was between eleven o'clock and one o'clock in the morning last night. ”
Speaking of which, looking at Yuki Shirakawa who was thinking, Officer Twilight asked, "How is it, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Let's investigate the deceased's social connections and the people he has been in contact with recently."
At the moment, there is no better way for Yuki Shirakawa to do it.
"Ah, this has been investigated by our police, although the deceased has a good reputation in academics, he is not very good at school, and his account has been flowing into a large amount of assets from an overseas account since a year ago."
Hearing this, Yuki Shirakawa asked, "Can you find out the owner of that overseas account?" ”
Officer Twilight shook his head, a little embarrassed, "The technical department looked for it, but the account was multi-encrypted and the account holder couldn't be found." ”
Officer Twilight felt embarrassed just thinking about it, and the entire Metropolitan Police Department had gone so far to find the owner of the overseas account.
"Is that so, can you show me that account?"
Officer Twilight nodded, "Of course that's fine. ”
With that, he handed her a document.
Yuki Shirakawa just glanced at it and handed the document to Yohei Asaba, who was holding the notebook.
"Track down this account and see what you can find."
Looking at Yohei Asaba, who got the file and started operating on the computer, Officer Twilight was a little puzzled and looked at Yuki Shirakawa, "This ......"
Yuki Shirakawa smiled, "It's okay, he's a genius in computers, let him give it a try, there's nothing to lose anyway, right?" ”
Hearing her explanation, Officer Twilight just nodded sheepishly.
Then, Yuki Shirakawa continued to ask, "Besides, have you checked the people that the deceased has been in contact with recently?" ”
"We have checked, and the deceased contacted a female student, Anna Ito, on the night of the crime, but we investigated her, and she had an alibi at the time of the crime."
"How?" Yuki Shirakawa was a little curious.
According to this Anna Ito, after she went to the deceased's house, the deceased harassed her, and she was angry, so she quarreled with the deceased and left, leaving at about 8:30.
After leaving, she went to the cinema and booked an all-nighter, and through investigation, it was found that she had indeed been in the cinema between 8:50 and 6 this morning. ”
At this moment, Yohei Asaba on the side spoke, "I found out, sister, the account holder of this account is a person named Akimotoji, he is the owner of a pharmaceutical company, and he is currently in Tokyo." ”
This frightened Officer Twilight, who didn't expect this kid to find out what their police couldn't find in such a short period of time, which made him a little frustrated, and he began to wonder if the Japanese police were really a little too incompetent.
But now that it's been found, Officer Twilight also led the team to the house of this Akimoto and began an investigation.
"Hello, I'm Twilight Thirteen from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, and I'm here to ask you something."
When he arrived at Akimotoji's house, Officer Twilight asked straight to the point.
Akimoto was a little confused, "What is the matter?" ”
Officer Twilight asked, "That's right, through our investigation, you have had a large financial transaction with Takaaki Goto since a year ago, can you tell me why?" ”
Hearing this, Akimoto said, "He's a technical advisor to our company, so I send money to him regularly, so I guess that's fine." ”
Officer Twilight nodded, and continued, "So what were you doing last night?" ”
"I just got my marriage license with my wife yesterday, and I celebrated with one of our old classmates, Ira Taro, because Ira drank a little too much, and he slept in our house later, and he can testify for me."
Later, the police went to find this Irataro, according to him, they drank at the tavern around 18:00 last night, and Akimoto drank too much and broke his mobile phone halfway, and then they went to Akimotoji's house together and drank a little more, at that time he remembered that it was already 21:00, and then he drank a little too much, so he didn't drive back, and fell asleep at Akimotoji's house.
All of a sudden, the case was at an impasse again.
At this time, the medical examiner sent the autopsy report.
The cause of death was a penetrating wound to the left chest, and according to the chemical method of the eyeball, the real time of death of the deceased was about 20:00-22:00, while the time of death inferred by the skin characterization of the corpse was about 23:00-1:00, and the possibility of artificial interference with the inference of the time of death cannot be ruled out.
After reading the report, Yuki Shirakawa instantly understood the alibi forged by Ana Ito.
