Tokyo Police

v2 Chapter 27: psychological defense

"If my estimate is correct, that night ten years ago, Ayu got the gift from Ms. Umegaki Mariko, and immediately came to the Buddha Temple to pick up Miyu who was hiding here. But when Ayu arrived here But I saw the dead body of Miwa, and of course you who stayed with the body—Mr. Ichikosuke Yamazaki!"

Lin Xiuyi actually knew very well in his heart that ten years had passed since this case, and the relevant evidence had almost been annihilated. Now there is not enough physical evidence to convict Yamazaki Ichijo, and in the absence of witnesses, the only The hope is to let Yamazaki Ichigo help himself to confess his guilt.

But it's not that easy to get Yamazaki Ichigosuke to plead guilty. Most suspects will never give up their resistance if they are not forced into a desperate situation where there is no hope in sight.

To destroy the suspect's psychological defense, the best way is to describe the entire crime process as if he were there, until the suspect begins to doubt himself, wondering if the police already know everything about him. Once the suspect begins to doubt himself, the sense of fear that is like being seen through his heart will continue to torment the suspect, and he will continue to imply that the police may know more things. In the end, this inability to The fear of getting rid of it will cause the suspect to finally give up on himself, and even at the moment of confessing his guilt, most suspects have a sense of relief.

Lin Xiuyi looked at Ichikosuke Yamazaki, and then he continued as if he was talking to himself:

"At that moment, we couldn't understand Ayu's mood. Maybe it was because the death of a good friend was too sad. The things that Ayu brought were seen by you who were looking for treasures. You recognized the value of these things at a glance. This is also The direct cause of Ayu's death in the end!"

"If you assume that there were three people in the Buddhist hall at that time, you, Ayu, and Miyu who was seriously ill. Among the three people, Miyu was terminally ill and extremely weak, so she had no ability to kill Ayu at all, and the forensic doctor From the point of view of the knife, it can be seen that the one who killed Ayu was a man more than ten centimeters taller than him, so among the three people, only you can be the murderer!"

"Maybe it was because the financial things that Ayu brought made you coveted. During the dispute, you killed Ayu with the coward that Ayu brought. Looking at Ayu who was lying in a pool of blood, you were at that time. I'm afraid I don't believe I can do such a thing!"

Lin Xiu looked at Yamazaki Ichigosuke, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yamazaki Ichikosuke's forehead. Perhaps he remembered the fear when he killed himself. When Lin Xiuyi and Yamazaki Ichikosuke met eyes, Yamazaki immediately Avoiding Lin Xiuyi's gaze.

"It's not hard to imagine what happened next. In order to escape your guilt, you began to clean up the traces left at the crime scene. At this moment, Mr. Kengo Yamamoto, who was in charge of guarding the Buddha Temple, happened to arrive here."

"Mr. Kengo Yamamoto found that the gate that was supposed to be closed was opened, so he stepped on the snow in the courtyard to the Buddhist hall, and you took Miyu's body and hid behind the Buddha statue."

"Mr. Yamamoto was terrified at the time, so he ran down the mountain to get help from the police! And you haven't escaped from the Buddhist temple yet!"

"Under the circumstances at the time, what should I do? Just run away? The footprints on the snow will lead the police to find you. Besides, there is only one way to go down the mountain. It is very likely that after going down the mountain, the villagers of the Buddha Village will already be surrounded by the villagers. So it seemed that there was only one way to go before you at that time, and that was the cliff behind the Buddhist temple!"

"When the Yamanashi Prefectural Police started their search, they asked the colleagues of the Yamanashi Prefectural Police Headquarters Security Division to try to climb down from the cliff, but the results showed that climbing by hand with ropes is even a well-trained It is also an impossible thing for professionals. As the murderer, you were still in the Buddhist hall when Mr. Yamamoto came down the mountain. Naturally, the time left for you is far from enough."

"But your situation at the time was a little different. Although you couldn't go down the mountain by yourself, it would be easier to do it with the help of Miwa's body. All you need is a long enough rope..."

After Lin Xiuyi said this, Ichigosuke Yamazaki suddenly asked in horror:

"How did you know?"

Lin Xiuyi ignored Yamazaki's question and continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, you first hang Miyu's body off the cliff with the rope that you brought up the mountain, and then use the weight of the body to let you easily land under the cliff, and finally you slowly lift Miyu's body down. Put it down again, as long as the rope is long enough, all of this is completely feasible."

"And before you left the Buddhist hall, you thoroughly cleaned up all traces. Maybe you had considered taking away the valuable Sengoku Wakizashi, so Mr. Yamamoto felt that the body had been turned over. But in the end You chose to leave Miyu's fingerprint on the murder weapon, because by doing so, the police's investigation will always revolve around the **** fingerprint, and it was this **** fingerprint that became the most direct cause of the police's failure to search. s reason"

"Don't talk about it!" Yamazaki Ichiko pleaded in a low voice, Lin Xiuyi described his real crime process incisively and vividly as if he had experienced the whole case. However, Lin Xiuyi would stop there, and Yamazaki would not give up for a moment, and he would continue to put more pressure on Yamazaki.

"The next thing is even simpler, because Miyu really died of illness, you easily cremated Miyu's body through legal means, and sent Miyu's ashes back to her hometown as her boyfriend, so that , Miu's family will not continue to trace Miu's whereabouts. And that blood fingerprint will never be compared."

"You used the four gold coins in the treasure to get a job from Professor Saito as a researcher in Koshu Castle, and Professor Saito also became a star in the academic world because of the excavation that year. The two of you announced the search in the police. After the failure, he immediately forged the excavation site and completely whitewashed the four small gold sentences."

"However, there is one thing you didn't tell Professor Saito, and that is the notebook that recorded the whereabouts of Shingen's buried gold!"

"Don't say it! I admit that I killed people... woohoo!" Yamazaki hugged his head in pain, laying on the table in the interrogation room and crying.
