v17 Chapter 23: suspects

"It seems that he suffered a lot of sins during his lifetime!"

"It's true, you see... the deceased's wrist still has strangulation marks that have been imprisoned for a long time, as well as the broken fingers, which were directly cut off by a sharp dagger, and even the fractures of the phalanges are neat. Qi, ordinary people can't do such cruel things..."

When Tanaka Chiyo saw Lin Xiuyi appearing at the scene, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. On that day, Chiyo actually had a premonition of Urashima-kun's intention. She and Urashima spent a long time planning the day's itinerary. Not only did the two make a special trip to Jiyugaoka to taste delicious desserts, but they also went to Daikanyama to buy brand new tableware and kitchen utensils. After the restaurant whose name was uncertain, Chiyo waited for Urashima to make her final confession. It's a pity... In the end, because of Lin Xiuyi's appearance, the candlelight dinner for two turned into a party of four. This made Chiyo feel resentful.

"Ah... is it so difficult for me to marry someone?"

...

"Then... Excuse me, is this fatal knife cut from right to left from the back like this?"

Just when the Tanaka forensic officer fell into his own thoughts again, Lin Xiuyi suddenly asked her a very serious question. Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Tanaka Chiyo quickly replied to him:

"Hey, judging from the depth of the knife's edge, it's true, but... I am a little surprised by one thing, you see... the position of the knife seems to be closer to the lower jaw, so... I think the murderer is Deliberately increasing the pain of the deceased, you said... Could it be done by the enemy of the deceased!"

"Hmph, this guy is the president of the Sumiyoshi Society, so he must have a lot of enemies, but... daring to kill the deceased in such a terrifying way, the murderer is considered a daring person. The police officer, now... ...I'm afraid your Shinjuku Central Office will be busy!"

...

Just as Lin Xiuyi and Aso Kosuke were discussing, there was a loud noise from outside the cordon again. When Lin Xiuyi turned around, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure leading someone towards them. As soon as Lin Xiu saw this, he hurriedly bowed to the other party, and then said enthusiastically:

"Senior Matsuda, I didn't expect you to come too!"

"Hey... I heard that Fukuda Haru from the Sumiyoshi Society had died early this morning. It's really a headache. Those people in the Kwantung Polar Society will never let it go."

"Kuandong Polar Dao Society?"

"Well... the radicals within the Sumiyoshi Society belong to the same organization as the conservative Kodokai, but their business methods are completely different. The people of the Kodokai control the territory of Shinjuku Kabukicho, while the Kanto Kokudokai is more Passionate about opening up new markets. Although Fukuda Haru became the chairman of the Sumiyoshi Association a few years ago, but... Under the constraints and checks and balances of the vice-chairman Takayama's establishment of a city, the Sumiyoshi Association will not go too far. Unfortunately... Now Fukuda As soon as Qing died, the two major groups in the Sumiyoshi Association will compete for the vacated chairman position again! Shuichi-kun, is the Shinjuku Central Office responsible for this case or the investigation section?"

Hearing that Section Chief Matsuda actually asked this sentence, Aso Kosuke could not help but question Section Chief Matsuda with some dissatisfaction:

"Senior, isn't it reasonable to hand over a case of this nature to a lesson?"

"As it should be? Look over there..."

As Matsuda Goro spoke, he pointed to the position opposite the railway. At this time, there was no train passing by the railway, so everyone could clearly see a few black Mercedes-Benz sedans on the opposite road, while standing beside the car Some men in suits but no ties were using cameras to film the scene on the railway side. Seeing the strange behavior of these people, Aso Kosuke and Lin Xiu instantly understood what Section Chief Matsuda was worried about.

"The Sumiyoshi Society should already know about this!"

"It looks like this! So... if you can't find the killer who killed Fukuda Haru, something big will happen in Shinjuku sooner or later!"

...

Seeing the unkind eyes of those who were taking pictures across the railway, Kosuke Aso was not afraid, but he still realized the seriousness of the incident. And Section Chief Matsuda took the opportunity to call Lin Xiuyi aside, and then whispered to Lin Xiuyi in a small voice:

"Xiuichi-kun, it seems that I have to stay with the Shinjuku Office these days, please help me prepare a temporary office space, and also... I think you need to go to see Takayama Jianshi with me, although from In terms of motivation, he is indeed the biggest suspect in the murder of Fukuda, but... I don't think he would do such a stupid thing, so... I think there is another suspect who may be more worthy of your investigation... "

"Eh? Senior, do you already have an object of suspicion in your mind?"

"Well, not long ago, the former chairman of the Hongdo Association, Yamaoka Katsumasa, just left the Tokyo Detention Center. I heard that he was forced to cut off his pinky in the office of Fukuda Haruyoshi and kicked out of the Sumiyoshi Association. , I think... Could it be he who killed Futian Qing?"

"Senior Matsuda, what is the origin of this person you are talking about?"

"He? Speaking of which, he should be regarded as the eldest brother of Takayama's establishment of the city, and was once a popular candidate for the president of the Sumiyoshi Society of the previous generation. But... more than ten years ago, she was arrested because illegal guns were found in her residence and car. The procuratorate filed a public prosecution, and later... he was sentenced to aggravated sentences for some other crimes, so he has not been released from prison until now. By the way, his previous title was called Ghost Hand Sword, so if the knife edge is so neat, I think ten He should have done eight of them!"

"Shangang Shengzheng? Got it~lightnovelpub.net~ Senior, I will find this person's whereabouts as soon as possible!"

...

"Ah... Uncle Shangang, I didn't expect... You can cut the beef so neatly, the size is the same, the thickness is the same, and most importantly, the weight is the same, this... It's just perfect. already?"

"Hey, I learned it at the place where I worked before. Many dishes there have to be of the same size, even Ze'an radishes are like this, so... After a long time, I'll get used to it!"

"Eh? Senior Shangang, since the requirements are so strict, it must be a famous restaurant, but... why did you quit your previous job?"

"This...it's really hard to say, let's talk about it if you have a chance!"

Shan Gang saw that his colleague was interested in his knife work and asked where he used to work, so he quickly changed the topic.

I'm afraid people outside can't imagine how much trouble it will cause if there are two pieces of Ze'an radishes of different weights in the detention center...
