Tokyo Police

v11 Chapter 23: Doubt

"Hey? Why did Xiu Yijun suddenly come over? Are you not on vacation?"

"Long time no see Mr. Matsuda, how are you doing?"

"A case about the Silver Dragon Club has been pressed down above. I'm having a headache. By the way, Xiu Yi-kun, when are you coming to work? I bought some new good coffee beans. When the time comes, let's taste it together!"

"Thank you, teacher, you still remember my hobby..."

"Well, do you have any leftovers from the coffee you just made? My coffee cup happens to be empty!"

"Just left a cup for you!"

Lin Xiuyi sat at his desk, sipping coffee leisurely and chatting with Headmaster Matsuda. Seeing that the seats of Urashima-kun and Miki were still covered with drapes to keep out the dust, they couldn't help but wonder, how would they spend their vacations?

"Dong Dong Dong!"

With a knock on the door, Kagata-kun walked into the office to meet Lin Xiuyi's gaze, and handed a document to Lin Xiuyi's hand.

"Police, this is the information you need!"

"It's hard work, Hanagata-kun, how's the work at the Seventh Department recently?"

"Thanks to you, everything went smoothly, that is, the Shenmu Police Department is always thinking of you!"

"Please give my regards to Senior Shenmu, and if you have the opportunity to call Aizawa-kun, let's go out for a drink together!"

"Hey, we will definitely not refuse the invitation from the police department!"

...

After a few words of courtesy with Hua Xing, Lin Xiu sent the other party out the door, and then carefully opened the material sent by Hua Xing.

"Have you encountered another difficult case?"

Section Chief Matsuda asked Lin Xiuyi curiously.

"Well, no, I'm just curious!"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he unfolded the materials in the resource bag on his desk in order.

This is a related report on the accident of Kikuchi Takashi, who has passed away. According to the feedback from the on-site forensic doctor, the police finally determined that Kikuchi Takashi's death was an accident. According to the police's investigation report, the first person to discover the deceased was the deceased's fiancee who was abroad at the time. While the two were chatting on the phone, there was a sudden sound of rolling over the phone. Then, the lady immediately called the Kikuchi family's manor by the Hakone Lake.

At that time, there was no one else in the manor except the housekeeper and a few servants. The housekeeper, who was the first to arrive at the scene, after confirming that Kikuchi Takashi was dead, also properly protected the scene and waited for the police. 's arrival After the police arrived, there was no trace of fierce fighting at the scene. Except for a cell phone and slippers scattered on the stairs. The police found nothing worth investigating.

Because Kikuchi Takashi was on the phone with his fiancée when the accident happened. And the fiancée wanted to talk to Guizhi on the phone some private words between lovers, so she had asked Guizhi to check whether there were other people around before the accident happened, and this was exactly The police finally determined that Guizhi was the key to his accidental death.

According to the photos preserved by the police, the Kikuchi family's villa in Hakone is a typical Western-style building. That's why there are such dangerous stairs in the house. From the palm prints on the handrail of the stairs and the fall marks at the scene, the police can conclude that the deceased was standing in front of the painting called "Love Letter" on the stairs.

The woman who was the key witness in this incident, because the other party was abroad at the time of the incident, the police only recorded the statement provided by the other party. This made Lin Xiu frown a little.

"It seems that the police officer at the scene already had a preconceived notion at the time, so he would only select information useful for the accident from the evidence. He didn't even leave the details of the provider of the correct words! "

Lin Xiuyi shook his head inwardly.

Although the confession was flawed, it did prove that it was an accident. And the servants and housekeepers who were in the manor at the time were all in the kitchen preparing for the upcoming engagement banquet. So everyone has an alibi. At least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with Kikuchi's death being determined to be an accident.

Lin Xiuyi put down the report in his hand thoughtfully, then picked up the photos on the side and browsed them one by one. In the photo, Takashi Kikuchi, wearing a kimono (a type of kimono, a reference to Rurouni Kenshin's clothes), threw himself down on the smooth marble floor. The pool of blood on the head has already explained the cause of death of the deceased very well. In addition, the mobile phone that was smashed by the fall, the blood and hair left by the deceased rolling down the stairs, and the slippers scattered on the stairs.

"Wait...why are slippers?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly picked up the photo in his hand and observed it carefully.

"Since you wear small sleeves, what should you wear on your feet?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly noticed a trace of disharmony. He hurriedly picked up the photo that he had put down before, and began to search hard to see if he could find a clear photo of the deceased's foot.

When Lin Xiuyi finally found a photo taken from behind the deceased, he finally found something that wasn't quite right.

"Is this... a foot bag?"

"Foot bag? Foot bag! The deceased was wearing a foot bag when the accident occurred, and it was indeed slippers scattered on the stairs~lightnovelpub.net~ and the deceased was wearing small sleeves. The thick foot bag can be stuffed into that kind of cotton. Don't you feel weird wearing slippers? Sure enough, clogs are the right match!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help being a little wary. That kind of foot bag is made of thick cotton cloth, and there is no elasticity at all. Wearing it and then wearing slippers should be very uncomfortable. How could anyone dress like that.

As for the clogs, with a foot bag, if you don't wear clogs, it will be inconvenient to walk, so what happened to the cotton mop on site?

Lin Xiuyi kept thinking about it in his mind, thinking about the doubts he just discovered. Why were the clogs that should have appeared on the scene replaced by slippers? Isn't this a very strange thing? However, if there were other people at the scene at the time, what happened to the alibi . It is so easy to have so many people testify together, and the deceased is the sole heir of a high-ranking retired official.

"Could it be... that the girl in "Love Letter" took the clogs?"
