v17 Chapter 48: hunch

The murder of the female **** at the Imperial Hotel in Ginza.

In the dusty archives of the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Xiuyi finally found the original file of the case. Although in the new millennium, the Metropolitan Police Department has carried out paperless operations for all cases it has handled. But Lin Xiuyi wanted to see the original first-hand materials.

The case mentioned by Goro Sakurai in the video happened 20 years ago, when... in the famous Imperial Hotel in Ginza, a well-known waitress in Ginza's club world - Airi Uehara was brutally murdered by others. Killed, the murderer strangled the beautiful lady with a towel in the hotel, and then carefully cleaned the scene. However, it may be that there is a sparseness in the hundred secrets. The police finally found a residual fingerprint on the electrical switch of the hotel. After investigating the social relations of the deceased, the Metropolitan Police Department soon discovered that the congressman Hojo, who had entertained the deceased before his death, was a major suspect. Later, after careful comparison in the forensics class, it was finally determined that the fingerprint found at the crime scene belonged to Hojo Senator.

A lofty congressman actually killed a poor Ginza waitress. The case quickly attracted public and media attention because of its political and rosy undertones at the same time. So... Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the Metropolitan Police Department and the District Prosecutor's Office quickly arrested Hojo Congressman, and then sent Hojo Qishi to the Tokyo Detention Center on the charge of manslaughter.

Because this case has aroused great pressure from public opinion, there are still many questions left in the case at that time and cannot be pursued further. For example, Ginza Club Mom-san, who had testified that the deceased had a relationship between the deceased and Hojo Congressman beyond the ordinary relationship between men and women, immigrated to the United States after the trial. In addition, the fingerprints found by the police at the scene also made many experienced police officers feel a little unnatural. Could it be... is this really the negligence of the murderer?

"No matter how you look at it, I feel that something is not right!"

"Hey, senior! But...the suspect Hojo Masashi is not difficult to provide a convincing alibi. So...that fingerprint has become the most powerful evidence for the judge to find Hojo Masashi. Since the local prosecutor's office The bureau has already regarded Masashi Hojo as a suspect, so the probability of him being convicted has been decided long before the end of the trial..."

"Actually...there is one more thing that is not recorded in these files, I remember...the original case happened not long after the Tokyo subway bombing. At that time, the Tokyo subway bombing caused great anger among the people. But this Hojo The congressman, but at this time, he publicly expressed some remarks in favor of the suspect Kuroda Akio. Although it seems that some of Hojo's remarks still have some truth. But... At that time, the emotions of the people were really incited. At the moment of getting up, Hojo Qishi makes such remarks, it will inevitably cause fire!"

"Is there such a thing? It's the first time I've heard of it, Matsuda-senpai!"

When Lin Xiu heard what Goro Matsuda said, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Twenty years ago, at that time, you should have just started to remember! I was already the ace of the Ministry of Life Security at that time! I remember... the work at that time was very different from now."

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Just as Lin Xiuyi was discussing the case with Section Chief Matsuda in the reference room, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hearing the sound, Lin Xiu quickly stopped the discussion with Section Chief Matsuda, and then said loudly in the direction of the door:

"Please come in!"

"Hi!"

As the sliding door of the reference room was slowly pushed open, two familiar figures entered the room like this, and then gave Lin Xiuyi a deep salute.

"Police, we have come to listen to your dispatch under the order of Search Section 1..."

"Ah. Miki, Urashima, why are you here!"

Seeing his former subordinate suddenly appear in front of him, Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise.

"Um... Previously, Miki-senpai and I were busy with the promotion exam, so I didn't contact you much during this time. Now... we have finished the exam, and we can wait for your dispatch at any time. Excuse me... Is there anything we can do?"

"Have you passed the promotion exam?"

"Hey, despite your years of cultivation, Urashima-kun and I have all passed the police department's supplementary qualification exam, but now we are still members of the Special Search Department."

"Ah... that's really a good congratulations to you all!"

Seeing that all the subordinates who are quite tacit with him have all arrived at once. Lin Xiuyi's originally chaotic mood could not help but cheer up a little. I saw him bowing his head and thinking for a while, and then said to everyone in a cautious tone:

"A lot of things have suddenly happened recently, but the National Police Agency still wants me to focus on the Kuroda Akio thing for now. Now... Kuroda Akio has laid out the first puzzle for us, then This is the murder of a waitress in Ginza that happened 20 years ago. I think... In order to get more clues, we'd better investigate this case. At present, Kuroda Akio and 20 years ago happened The only link between this case in Ginza is that both he and the suspect in that case were once held at the Tokyo Detention Center..."

"Tokyo Detention Center?"

"What's the matter, Matsuda-senpai?"

...

Hearing that the tone of Section Chief Matsuda suddenly became a little suspicious, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that the boss of Gaoshan Jianshi also stayed there for a long time, do you remember Well, it's Katsumasa Yamaoka, who is currently working part-time at a yakiniku restaurant in Shinjuku. After that guy was released from prison, he resolutely left the Sumiyoshi Society, I feel a little suspicious no matter how I think about it, I wonder if there is any connection here..."

"But...Senior...we don't have any evidence yet to prove that there is any connection between Yamaoka Katsumasa and Kuroda Akio! Could it be that...do you know anything else?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I just instinctively felt that all of this... should be related, do you remember that Sakurai Goro said that he had hit the Fukuda Haru car twenty years ago? I remember that at that time I was living in Security Department, everyone likes to study the preferences of these extremist organization cadres when they have nothing to do. Fukuda Qingliu is an out-and-out car fan, and... he is also a guy who must be reported. If Sakurai Goro really remembers correctly If so, I'm a little surprised that Fukuda Qing would let him go..."

"Senior... Could it be... Are you saying that Goro Sakurai may be lying?"

"No... I mean... why did so many things happen one after another as soon as Shangang Shengzheng was released from prison!"
