Chapter 55: Justice Delayed

It was close to 0:00 a.m. at this time.

In the conference room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, work is still going on.

Date Air was also called back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Officer Twilight to hold an emergency meeting, and the content of the meeting was naturally about Twenty Faces, Smiley Faces and Yayoi Kusama.

Boom!!

"This bastard! He's just kidding us! ”

Ita roared angrily and slammed his fist on the conference table, silencing the other officers.

He'd just checked with Officer Twilight.

A minute after Kusama's death, Officer Twilight's video ended.

In other words, the time interval between the video and the scene is only two minutes!

"Two minutes."

In the corner of the conference room, Shinichi Kudo, who was uninvited, rubbed his chin, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The time is just right.

They're like clowns, and they're just one step away from being able to get their goal back.

No.

It's not so much a clown as a marionette.

Not only the person on trial, Yayoi Kusama, but even they are exactly the same.

Every move is under the control of that guy.

Then this twenty-faced physiognomy is too terrifying!

"Brother Ida, don't be so impatient, you're falling behind like this."

Officer Twilight stood at the top of the conference room, his expression solemn and his brow furrowed.

For decades as a police officer, he never dreamed that he would encounter such a complex and vicious case.

From beginning to end, not only did he not find half a trace of the smiling face, but he even watched Kusama die!

Now, the "20-faced trial murder incident" in Tokyo has gone crazy in major forums, and many netizens have discussed it, causing great pressure on public opinion.

Although he has informed the technical staff to delete the news and videos in this regard as much as possible, the incident of Twenty Faces was witnessed by thousands of netizens, and it is impossible for such a terrifying public opinion to be suppressed.

Only three hours have passed since the incident.

However, this matter has reached the ears of the above, and the chief inspector of Oda Che personally called and asked about the progress of solving the case with a very serious attitude.

This shows how terrifying the pressure is on Officer Twilight today.

The slightest carelessness will cut off his future.

Officer Twilight glanced around, and after everyone gradually quieted down, he said in a deep voice, "Takagi Shi, you can introduce the case first." ”

Hearing Officer Twilight's roll call, Wataru Takagi, who was sitting next to Date Airlines, hurriedly got up.

"We found out at 9:36 that this video was circulating on the Internet, and at 9:57 we immediately dispatched police to the scene of the crime."

"By the time we arrived at the scene, Kusama had already been killed."

"After repeated on-site investigations, the man, codenamed Smiley, did not leave any fingerprints."

The roads near the unfinished building have been blocked, and a large number of police officers have arrived at the scene one after another.

But they plunged into the unfinished building and searched for nearly three hours, and their legs were about to break, but they didn't even see a single figure, let alone a guy who was suspected of having twenty faces.

Except for a few installations, there was no one else in the unfinished building.

"Moreover, according to the report of the technician, the registration information and IP address of the smiley face cannot be found."

Hearing this, Date Hang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked puzzledly: "Takagi, aren't there a few people in the Metropolitan Police Department who are good at computer technology, and even they can't catch the tail of a smile?" ”

Takagi Wataru nodded helplessly and replied, "According to the technical department, there is likely to be a foreign force behind the smiley face, or he himself is very good at this kind of technology. ”

"We're not completely without clues, though."

As soon as these words came out, Date Hang's body suddenly shook.

Still a clue?

"First of all, the mechanical hydraulics used by Smiley Face to kill Yayoi Kusama, the production process of that thing is relatively precise, and the parts used to make the hydraulic part are relatively rare."

"According to our estimates, there are only a few dozen stores in the whole of Tokyo."

"Another ......"

Wataru Takagi paused suddenly, and said with a wandering gaze, "Kudo-kun assisted us in finding a set of footprints at the scene. ”

Hearing this, everyone unanimously looked at Kudo Shinichi who was sitting in the corner.

The room fell silent.

They are really familiar with this "savior of the Japanese police".

"Huh? Oh, there is such a thing. ”

Kudo Shinichi raised his head in a daze, noticed everyone's gaze before reacting, and said with a serious expression: "Based on that set of footprints that are suspected to be from a smiling face, I have estimated a rough result." ”

"The height of the smiley face should be between 1.75 and 1.8 meters, weigh about 130 pounds, and have a well-proportioned figure, but his legs may have been injured, and he will unconsciously mop the floor when walking."

Hearing this, the faces of the two people of Date Air were overjoyed.

It was the only clue they had about the smiley face.

As long as there is a breakthrough, the scope of their search will be shortened and the difficulty of solving the case will be greatly reduced.

If you follow these two clues, you might be able to catch that guy soon!

But they didn't know that Kudo Shinichi still had something to say.

That set of footprints always gave him a strange feeling.

To use a metaphor that is not quite appropriate.

Like, a little kid who likes to play pranks?

As for Yayoi Kusama......

"A greeting gift?"

Kudo Shinichi quickly understood that the smiling face had given Kusama to the police as a gift for the first meeting.

However, this "gift" should be a provocation in the eyes of the police officers.

"You already have a basic understanding of the current situation."

Officer Twilight stood at the forefront, facing the many police officers, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone knows that the above has begun to pay attention to this case, so our top priority at the moment is to solve this case!" ”

"You must do a good job of coordinating with other departments, communicate with each other, follow the two lines of mechanical parts and the characteristics of prisoners, and connect all the clues, and you can't let go of any clues! Be sure to lock up the suspect as soon as possible and arrest the twenty faces and smiley faces! ”

With that, he looked at Ita Hang again.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and said, "Brother Date, you just work hard, and by the way, investigate a few cases of Yayoi Kusama and see if you can find the remains of those deceased." ”

"No, Officer Twilight, I want to ......"

Hearing this, Date Air couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The guy who claimed to be smiling stomped the face of the police under his feet.

This annoyed Date Airlines, which prides itself on being a police officer.

So, instead of dealing with Kusama's case, he wants to hunt down Smiley Face with others.

But not before he could speak.

"It's also important!"

Officer Twilight directly stretched out his hand and interrupted with a serious expression, "Even if it's just belated justice, we must give an explanation to the others!" ”
