Miao Zhishun was called back to the East Kowloon Police Station by a phone call from Ho Ka-fai.

After seeing He Jiahui, Miao Zhishun couldn't wait to ask; "Have you found a new clue?"

"I found a problem." He Jiahui handed the photo of the word "friend" to Miao Zhishun, and said at the same time; "Miao sir, the problem is in this photo!"

"This is the message left by Ma Jinan before he died, I have read it dozens of times, what's the problem?" Miao Zhishun asked.

"Miao sir, I think the word 'friend' is very likely to be written by the murderer on purpose." He Jiahui said.

"What about the evidence?" Miao Zhishun immediately asked.

As a senior inspector of the serious crime team, Miao Zhishun has also solved many big cases, of course, he also thought that the word "friend" found at the scene may be the real murderer who deliberately blamed Fan Zhiyou.

However, the police need to talk about evidence in handling cases, and if there is no evidence to prove that this word is the real murderer, then they can only think that this word is the message left by the deceased before he died according to the existing evidence.

He Jiahui opened his mouth and said: "Miao sir, take a closer look, is this character different from what we usually write?" ”

"Of course it's different, the deceased had a knife stuck in his back at the time, and it was not easy to write this word, do you still require him to write it neatly!"

Miao Zhishun smiled and continued; "And this character was originally written on the beach, like this case, there is no way to do a handwriting test."

"I'm not talking about fonts." He Jiahui said.

"Okay, don't sell it, if you find any problems, just say it!" Miao Zhishun said.

"Miao sir, look at the word 'friend', which is different from the order of strokes we usually write. When we usually write the word 'friend', we will first write horizontally, and then write apostrophe, and this word 'friend' is obviously written first apostrophe, and then horizontally. He Jiahui explained.

If you write on paper with a pen, you probably can't see the order of strokes, whether you write horizontal or vertical first, write apostrophe first or write first and write the word first, the final form of the word is the same.

However, when writing on the beach, you can clearly distinguish the order of the strokes, because the beach is not a hard plane, and the strokes written first will be truncated by the strokes written later.

For example, if you write the word "ten" on the beach, if you write horizontal first and then vertically, then vertical is a complete stroke, and horizontal will be truncated vertically in the middle.

In the same way, if you write vertical first and then horizontal, then horizontal is a complete stroke, and vertical will be truncated in the middle.

The word "friend" left by Ma Jinan before his death, the apostrophe, was truncated horizontally, which also shows that he wrote the apostrophes first and then horizontally.

And this is obviously not in line with the normal writing habits, we usually write the word "friend", will first write horizontal, and then write apostrophe.

Miao Zhishun looked at the photo, and then nodded suddenly: "You are right, judging from the photo, Ma Jinan did write it first, and then write horizontally."

Could it be that he was in a lot of pain with a knife stuck in his back at the time, so he didn't write in the normal order of strokes? ”

He Jiahui shook his head: "When a person is seriously injured, he will act on instinct. Our writing habit is an instinct that has been cultivated for more than ten years. ”

Miao Zhishun's brows furrowed slightly: "Then why did Ma Jinan write the word 'friend' before he died, he wrote it first and then horizontally, is he trying to tell us any information?" ”

He Jiahui replied: "It is precisely because of the different stroke order of this character that I think it was forged by someone else, and then blamed Fan Zhiyou." ”

"You mean that the person who wrote this word is accustomed to writing first and then horizontally? But who would write like that to a normal person? Could it be that Japanese exchange student! ”

Miao Zhishun pondered for a moment and said: "It's not right, the Japanese are not European and American, they can't write Chinese characters at all, and the Japanese have also learned Chinese characters since childhood." Even though the Japanese have different pronunciations of kanji, most of them are certainly not problematic to write. ”

He Jiahui smiled slightly and replied: "Of course, Japanese people have no problem writing Chinese characters, but their stroke order is different from us Chinese.

For example, the Japanese write the word "friend", which is written first and then horizontally, and in addition, such as "left" and "right", the Japanese will also write the apostrophe first, and then horizontally. This is their writing habit. ”

"What do you mean is that it was Kenjiro Murakami, a Japanese exchange student, who killed Ma Jin'an, and then left the word 'friend' to blame Fan Zhiyou." Miao Zhishun asked.

He Jiahui nodded: "Do you remember that it was said in the confession that after dinner, Kenjiro Murakami first proposed to go out for a walk, which is tantamount to creating an opportunity for himself to kill." ”

Miao Zhishun then asked, "Can you find evidence?" I mean, the more conclusive evidence is far-fetched to convict on the basis of the Japanese writing habits. ”

He Jiahui opened his mouth and replied: "So we need to ask all the suspects to write the word 'friend' again, if Kenjiro Murakami writes first and then horizontally when he writes, and others write horizontally first and then horizontally, then it can be proved that the word 'friend' at the scene was left by Kenjiro Murakami, and it can be proved that he is the murderer." ”

"Then I'll call all the suspects to the police station and ask them to write the word 'friend'?" Miao Zhishun said, but shook his head to himself: "No, this method is too directive, they all know that before Ma Jinan died, he left the word 'friend', and if they write this word, they will definitely be able to guess the intention of the police." ”

"So you can't just come straight to it, you have to find a way to go around in circles. Let them write, but not yet arouse their suspicion. He Jiahui pondered for a moment and spoke; I have an idea. ”

"Tell me about it." Miao Zhishun asked.

"Didn't they get together for dinner on the day of the crime? We used the investigation as an excuse to ask them to write down where everyone was sitting at dinner, and then Fan Zhiyou's name would definitely be written. He Jiahui said.

"Good idea, just do what you say!" Miao Zhishun nodded immediately.

……

Among the people who attended the party, Ma Jinan died, Fan Zhiyou was arrested, and the two girls could prove to each other that they were not at the scene at the time of the crime, and the suspicion was ruled out, and the remaining three people were called to the police station in the name of assisting in the investigation.

In the interrogation room, facing Kenjiro Murakami, Miao Zhishun also specially invited a Japanese translator.

Kenjiro Murakami has also studied Chinese, which is not a very complicated communication, and there is no problem in using Chinese, but he speaks Mandarin.

I only heard Miao Zhishun say in Hong Kong-style Mandarin: "Mr. Murakami, we investigated that you had dinner in the living room of Deng Xue's house on the day of the crime.

And Ma Jinan went out to breathe because he suddenly felt unwell and vomited, and our police suspect that the reason why the deceased was uncomfortable was Fan Zhiyou's ghost.

So do you remember where you were seated? We want to know where Fan Zhiyou was seated and how far away from the deceased. ”

"I, of course I do." Kenjiro Murakami nodded, he was obviously not very familiar with Chinese, so he continued with Japanese grammar; "Ma Jin'an, across from me, sit down, Fan Zhiyou, the place next to me, sit down."

Miao Zhishun immediately took out a floor plan, and then said: "This one is the floor plan of Deng Xue's living room, can you indicate where they are sitting on it?" ”

"No problem." Kenjiro Murakami took the floor plan and began to annotate.

"Just write your name on it." Miao Zhishun said very casually.

Kenjiro Murakami obviously didn't realize that this was the police verifying his writing order, and he thought that the police were still targeting Fan Zhiyou, so he wrote on the floor plan of the living room without any scruples.

"I'll sit here." Kenjiro Murakami wrote his name in one location.

"Ma Jin'an, sit across from me, that is, here." Kenjiro Murakami wrote Ma Jin'an's name again.

"Fan Zhiyou, he's sitting here!" Kenjiro Murakami was in another position, and wrote Fan Zhiyou's name again.

Miao Zhishun carefully observed Kenjiro Murakami's writing, and at the same time, the angle of the surveillance camera in the interrogation room was also aimed at the same position.

When Kenjiro Murakami wrote the word "friend", he first wrote the apostrophe, and then wrote the horizontal.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Miao Zhishun's face was happy.

A few seconds later, one of Miao Zhishun's subordinates knocked on the door and walked in, nodded at Miao Zhishun, and spoke; "Miao sir, it's all filmed, it's very clear."

"Good!" Miao Zhishun praised, and then looked directly at Kenjiro Murakami: "Mr. Murakami, you are suspected of murdering a Chinese man Ma Jin'an, and the police are now going to officially arrest you!" ”

"Nani?" Kenjiro Murakami was startled and sat on the spot.

The Japanese translator told Kenjiro Murakami Kenjiro in Japanese about Miao Zhishun's original words, and Kenjiro Murakami came back to his senses at this time.

"What do you mean? I didn't kill anyone! You are being framed! Kenjiro Murakami shouted in Japanese.

Miao Zhishun took out the photo of the word "friend", and then said: "Mr. Murakami, you should have an impression of this word, right?" ”

"Isn't this the word that Ma Jin'an wrote before he died!" Kenjiro Murakami simply answered in Japanese and asked the translator to reply.

"This word was indeed found next to Ma Jin'an's body, but it was not written by Ma Jin'an, but by you," Miao Zhishun said.

"You nonsense, I didn't write this word!" Kenjiro Murakami continues to deny it.

"Mr. Murakami, you probably didn't realize that the order of the strokes you used to write the kanji had betrayed you. When you write the word 'friend', you will write the apostrophe first, and then the horizontal. We Chinese write horizontally first, and then write apostrophe! ”

Miao Zhishun said, pointing to the word "friend" on the photo, and then said: "The word 'friend' next to Ma Jinan's corpse is written first and then horizontally!" This is not the stroke of our Chinese writing.

This also shows that there is a person with a writing habit different from the Chinese, who forged this character on the spot, and then deliberately blamed Fan Zhiyou, this person is obviously the murderer!

The murder weapon came from Deng Xue's home, that is to say, only those who participated in the dinner party could get the murder weapon, and you were the only one among them. ”

At this moment, Kenjiro Murakami finally understood why the police asked him to write the location where everyone was seated at the dinner that day, it turned out that the purpose was to let him write the word "friend" and then confirm the order of his writing.

After thinking about this, Kenjiro Murakami sighed gloomily: "I didn't expect that in the end, it was because of different writing habits, and the flaws were exposed!" ”

Miao Zhishun saw that Kenjiro Murakami had confessed, so he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Murakami, how did you kill Ma Jinan, please explain it truthfully!" ”

So far, Kenjiro Murakami has not argued again, but directly explained the facts of the case:

"I went to Deng Xue's house for a party that day, in fact, I was looking for an opportunity to kill Ma Jin'an, but everyone got together at that time, and I never found a chance. Originally, I was going to give up, but who knew that during dinner, Ma Jinan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

I remember saying that Hokkaido is great for skiing in winter, and there are hot springs that would be nice to soak in after skiing. At this time, Ma Jinan suddenly covered his mouth, then ran into the toilet and began to vomit.

We thought the seafood we ate was undercooked, but everyone had eaten the seafood, only Ma Jinan had a problem, and everyone else was fine. I guess Ma Jin'an is allergic to some kind of seafood!

Then Ma Jinan drank some water, and then said that he wanted to go out to breathe in the fresh air, and then I realized that my opportunity had come!

So after dinner, I asked to go out and see the surrounding scenery, I am Japanese, this is the first time to come to Budaiao, this request is very reasonable. At that time, Deng Xue also planned to go out with me and be my tour guide, but I refused.

I secretly took a kitchen knife from the kitchen of Deng Xue's house, and then went out, I quickly found Ma Jin'an, and then I said that I was worried about getting lost, and asked Ma Jinan to take me around.

Of course, Ma Jin'an would not refuse me, so the two of us wandered around the neighborhood, and when we reached the beach, I found that there was no one on all sides, so I took out a knife and killed him from behind.

Then I wiped off the fingerprints on the kitchen knife, processed the traces of the scene, took Ma Jin'an's hand, wrote the word 'friend' on the beach, and blamed Fan Zhiyou.

After that, I stayed in the neighborhood for a while to make sure that no one found Ma Jin'an's body before returning to Deng Xue's home. ”

"Why did you choose Fan Zhiyou as the object of the guy and not others?" Miao Zhishun asked again.

"Because after dinner, everyone is free to move, I see that Chen Jiali and Wang Danni are together, I obviously can't blame them, Li Hanwen went to the kitchen to help Deng Xue wash the dishes, I can't confirm whether he is alone, only Fan Zhiyou left alone, so I can only blame him!" Kenjiro Murakami replied.

"It seems that it is a good habit to help wash the dishes after eating, and you can escape with a little diligence in your hands and feet!"

Miao Zhishun said secretly in his heart, and then he continued to ask: "Then what is your motive for killing?" You are an exchange student, you have only been in Xiangjiang for a few months, there should be no conflict of interest between you and Ma Jinan, right? ”

"Because of the money." Kenjiro Murakami paused in his voice, and then said: "Someone gave me six bitcoins and asked me to kill Ma Jin'an!" ”

"Is it to buy a murderer?" Miao Zhishun was stunned.

At the same time, He Jiahui, who was watching the interrogation in the monitoring room, also frowned. This answer was a bit of a surprise to him!
