How long did it take for Prisoner X to get from the beach at the scene of the crime to Kanazawa Station? There will be no correct answer to this answer until we know what means of transportation to use; However, it takes 30 to 40 minutes by chartered car. Extrapolating from this, in order to catch the express train that departs at 8 o'clock, you must leave the scene between 7:10 and 7:30.

Therefore, the time when the crime was committed was at half past seven in the evening of the 8th or earlier.

On the other hand, according to the opinion of the medical examiner, the time period of the crime was between 7 and 10 o'clock. If we also refer to the opinion of the medical examiner, He Chun was killed between seven and half past seven that night.

The criminal police are divided into four squads and carry a life-size photo of a pistol to investigate in Kanazawa City.

The investigation continued for about a week, and the scenery of Kanazawa City was also very autumnal, and the criminal police who had been eating cold buckwheat noodles for lunch began to order warm buckwheat noodles soup.

At the meeting held on the evening of Wednesday 28th, it was concluded that nothing had been achieved in this regard. All of us in this room were dominated by a dreary atmosphere from the very beginning. The criminal police officer who reported it could clearly see that he was tired for days.

"The first is motivation. We have to study why the prisoner killed He Chun. Maybe it's a robbery killing, maybe it's a planned killing pretending to be a robber. Because he took his handbag with him, he probably wanted to disguise it as a robbery and murder. Are there any people who hate He Chun or are jealous of her? Or is it someone who can benefit from the woman's death? We must go back to Nanguang City and take stock of the people around her. ”

Tian Chunda's plan was to first visit the hospital where the victim worked, meet with President Xiao Long, and listen to him talk about He Chun.

As soon as Xiao Long saw Tian Chunda, he asked eagerly, "Officer Tian, have you arrested the prisoner?" ”

Tian Chunda shook his head with some regret and said, "Not yet, now we are stepping up the investigation." Then he quickly said the purpose of the trip.

"I can't thank you enough for working so hard. If there's anything I can do for it, just say ......," the doctor said politely.

"We want to know if there are any people who benefited from the killing of He Chun."

"Profiteer, what is this...... As far as I know, she was just a nurse working in a hospital and didn't have much property ....... Well, I can't think of anyone who would benefit from her death. ”

"Have you thought of any other motives? For example, killing people out of jealousy......"

Then the doctor's slender and delicate eyes suddenly moved.

"Did you think of anything?"

"No, nothing." Doctor Xiao Long seemed to regret that his expression was being seen, and hurriedly shook his head.

"I came all the way from Kanazawa to Nanguang to understand the situation, and I hope you can tell the truth about the situation to help solve the case." Tian Chunda saw that the doctor was moving in his heart, so he clicked on him.

"What comes to my mind is just unfounded, like fantasy, so I don't feel the need to say it."

"It's okay, just tell me."

The officer stubbornly clung to it.

"Since you said so, I'll say it. I have a relationship with He Chun, and it will cause a whirlpool of envy or jealousy among He Chun's colleagues. Although I am a bit pretentious when I say this, many of our nurses are from rural backgrounds, and all of them want to marry from the city to come to the city. However, even if you work in the city, it is not easy to find a good partner. I think that He Chun, as their colleague, can fall in love with me, which should be something that makes them feel very envious. It may also produce intense jealousy. ”

"I know how it feels."

However, if a nurse kills He Chun out of jealousy, it is impossible to replace He Chun and sit in the seat of Mrs. Xiao Long. So I don't think that's enough to form a motive. ”

The doctor added: "Nurses are so busy. Therefore, it is impossible to have the time to follow Kanazawa's killing, and in fact there are no nurses who have taken leave. Just ask the doctors I work with about that. ”

"Please be sure to ask. By the way, there is one more thing, which is different from the problem of jealousy now, does anyone hate the victim? Tian Chunda asked again.

Facing Tian Chunda's question, Xiao Long showed an expression that wandered between unease and panic for the first time, and couldn't help but lean his upper body on the back of the chair.

"You look like you have some clues."

"yes, well, it's a lie to say no. There are only two people about your question. ”

"Two people, right?"

"Yes. Before, I thought that He Chun was killed by robbers, so I didn't even think about it. ”

As he spoke, the doctor hesitated to say whether it was better or not.

"Come on, please speak."

Tian Chunda opened the notepad and urged the doctor in a slightly serious voice. The doctor looked up and sighed.

"One is a woman, and she's my ex-fiancée."

"Hmm. Please go on. ”

"I was a sponsor member of an orchestra, and the woman was also a member, so we often met at the recitals, and it progressed to the stage of love. Not long after half a year, we got engaged, but there was a man we didn't know, let's call him A for the time being, and this A called me and told me that she had been in a relationship with another man B before. To be honest, I also had the experience of getting married once, and since the divorce for some reason, I have been living a single life. So even though I'm not getting married for the first time, I really want my second wife to be an inexperienced woman. This is a very selfish idea, and there is no reason to say such a thing to the criminal police, but this is a condition for me to remarry. I hate taking other people's old things, so I don't have to use them, that's what I think. Of course, for this woman, I also made this condition clear at the beginning, and the other party also swore that she was not an old product, so we got engaged. Because at this time, there was this phone call with slanderous intent, and I couldn't calm down. Just call her over and ask right away. ”

The doctor grew excited as he spoke, and it seemed that the story would be told for a long time. The detective stomped to his feet and looked away from the notepad to look into the other's eyes.

"I also believed the woman's claim that she was white. However, after another three weeks or so, Man A called again. And he said to me, 'You're still dating that woman, you don't seem to believe me.'" Then I'll show you the evidence that I'm definitely not talking nonsense, I'll tell you B's name and address, you can see that it's better to meet him, call him, and make sure it'...... 'Although I don't believe A's slander, I still asked him for that phone number. I hesitated for about an hour before I dialed the phone. ”

"Hmm."

"B pretended to be garlic at the beginning and said that he didn't know anything, but I finally told me the truth after I got to the bottom of it. The two of them had stayed at a hotel somewhere three times. ”

"Oh."

"My personality is very honest, but when I know that I have been deceived, I will get angry. Immediately after hearing this, I wrote to the woman, declaring that the marriage was null and void and that I had broken off her friendship. The other party seems to still be in love, and has written to me several times, but I have not replied. Mr. Officer, have you ever felt betrayed, remorseful, or lonely by someone you've always trusted? ”

"Unfortunately, I haven't encountered it." Tian Chunda immediately replied to him.

The doctor continued: "At this time, the person who inspired and motivated me was He Chun, a nurse living in the hospital. Still, she doesn't use direct words or actions to encourage, but if the lighting in the room is compared to direct lighting and indirect lighting, she is like indirect lighting. Although it is a bit spineless to say this, it is thanks to He Chun that I can fully recover my spirits. Because of this relationship, between me and He Chun, I don't know who started to feel each other's love. Looking at it again, I found that she has a stable personality, learned to drive when I didn't know, has a very positive side, and has surprisingly gentle emotions. And her cooking is also delicious, and her writing is beautiful. I should have discovered such a wonderful woman sooner, even I thought it was incredible. ”
