From the bottom of his heart, Lin Xiuyi prefers the quietness and leisure of the Buddha Village to the noise and noise of Tokyo. But as a police officer, Lin Xiuyi will never allow the murderer who took someone's life to go unpunished, even though he is still in the "training" period.

Therefore, Lin Xiuyi and Kanako's attitudes changed by 180 degrees in the investigation of the Buddha Temple murder ten years ago. Kanako has already got what she wants, and her thirst for the truth of this case is not as urgent as before. , and Lin Xiuyi couldn't wait to test his hypothesis because of the new discovery.

The hypothesis put forward by Lin Xiuyi perfectly solved the secret room trick of the Buddhist temple in the snow, which also made Kanako begin to doubt Lin Xiuyi's identity. Could it be that Lin Xiuyi's profession is a police officer or a private detective?

Although Kanako had doubts about Lin Xiuyi's true identity, since the other party didn't want to say it, she was embarrassed to ask. However, the secret room of the Snow Buddha Hall was cracked by Lin Xiuyi's idea after all. Kanako has decided to use this idea as the script's answer to the secret room trick in the Snow Buddha Hall.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiuichi drove with Kanako to Kofu City to visit the Yamaguchi Chiaki Police Department, who was in charge of investigating the Buddha Temple murder ten years ago, while Superintendent Mizukawa returned to Tokyo to deal with his work. .

Kofu City is the seat of Yamanashi Prefecture, and it also happens to be located in the center of Yamanashi Prefecture geographically. Lin Xiu did not arrive at the Yamaguchi Police Department's house in Kofu until the afternoon. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Lin Xiuyi also did not reveal his identity as a police officer to the Yamaguchi Police Department. After all, Yamanashi Prefecture is also an administrative area bordering Tokyo, and the relationship between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Yamanashi Prefectural Police is not much stronger than that of Kanagawa.

Yamaguchi Chiaki let Lin Xiuichi and Kanako into the house, and the wife of the Yamaguchi Police Department served them tea. After some introductions, the Yamaguchi Police Department finally turned to the topic. I started to recall the case from ten years ago.

"I'm really ashamed to say it. Although I tried my best in this case ten years ago, I never found the whereabouts of the murderer! This incident is also the biggest regret of my police career! Over the years, I have always put this All the information about the case is deeply imprinted in my mind..."

"That year, I had just been promoted to the police department and was assigned to work in the first section of the search division of the Kafei City Headquarters. Shortly after I took office, I received a notification from the police station of the Buddha Village!"

"When I arrived at the Buddha Temple, where the crime happened, everything in front of me looked so strange. The courtyard was covered with heavy snow, and as far as I could see, I only saw a few footprints. I immediately ordered People blocked the scene and no one was allowed to enter."

"When the forensics class colleagues arrived, they first conducted evidence collection on these footprints. After a preliminary on-site inspection, the forensics class can basically determine that all these footprints belonged to the informant, Kengo Yamamoto!"

"And when we entered the Buddhist hall, the scene at the scene became even more bizarre! The deceased Ayu fell into a pool of blood in white clothes, and a rib was inserted into Ayu's chest. At that time, the cold wind whistled in the Buddhist hall. I can't even forget the feeling that the blood in my whole body is about to coagulate."

"We soon found a **** fingerprint on the rib of the murder weapon. After identification, we determined that this fingerprint did not belong to the deceased Ayu, nor the first reporter Kengo Yamamoto. From this moment on, our investigation Totally in trouble!"

"We did a deep investigation into the social relationship of the deceased Ayu, but unfortunately, we did not find anything special! Ayu's hometown was in Nagano Prefecture, and he was introduced by relatives to work here. Although Ayu is in his hometown There is a fiancé, but her fiancé was in her hometown at the time of the crime, so she was quickly ruled out by us!"

"In addition to the investigation direction of emotional entanglement, we also conducted a detailed investigation on Ayu's property and interpersonal relationships! Ayu's working time is not long, although he has savings on hand, but it is not enough to attract murder! And Ayu is friendly, and most of the people who have dealt with her like her very much!"

……

Lin Xiuyi listened carefully to the memories of the Yamaguchi Police Department. The Yamaguchi Police Department is an old police officer with rich experience in handling cases. According to his description, Lin Xiuyi felt that even if he took over the case, he would carry out the search according to the method of the Yamaguchi Police Department. However, because Lin Xiuyi is now visiting the Yamaguchi Police Department as a reporter. So he was worried that the Yamaguchi Police Department would deliberately conceal some key issues for the protection of the victims.

"I'm sorry, police department! Can I ask you a question about the victim's privacy?" Lin Xiuyi asked suddenly.

"What do you want to ask, just say it!" The Yamaguchi Police Department said indifferently.

"Police Department, was the victim Ayu sexually assaulted during her lifetime?" Lin Xiuyi asked directly~lightnovelpub.net~ As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, Kanako turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyi, There was a shy, embarrassed expression on his face. She never imagined that Lin Xiuyi would ask such a question so directly!

"No, Miss Ayu is still an unmarried woman!" The Yamaguchi Police Department glanced at Lin Xiu with a hint of clarity in his eyes. And his answer also made Lin Xiuyi determine a key question, the so-called unmarried woman means a virgin! This is an obscure statement, after all, RB is a country that pays attention to etiquette and privacy, and some things are not easy to talk about in public.

……

The interview with the Yamaguchi Police Department lasted for about two hours. At the end of the interview, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to mention to the Yamaguchi Police Department the method he envisioned to decipher the murder in the secret room of the Buddhist temple in Buddha Temple. He wanted to hear what the Yamaguchi Police Department thought.

"It's rare to think of this, but we had imagined various possible escape methods for the murderer back then. In fact, I have something to give you, the police information about this case!" The Yamaguchi Police Department did not answer directly. Lin Xiuyi's question, but decided to hand over the police information. This is a violation of police discipline!

"Police, won't you cause trouble for yourself by doing this?" Lin Xiuyi quickly reminded. Although Yamaguchi has retired, it is still not a wise thing to do. If the above is investigated, it is likely to cause him a lot of trouble.

"To cause trouble, to be honest, the police have long since given up on this case. I'm very happy that you can continue to investigate this case. I really hope that the dead Ayu Zhaoxue can be saved one day sooner! If the murderer can be brought to justice, all these troubles. What does it count?"
