Tokyo Police

v5 Chapter 9: late night murder

Lin Xiuyi hadn't completely fallen into deep sleep. After hearing the shout, Lin Xiuyi immediately sat up from the bed. He put on his trousers and jacket, opened the sliding door of the box, and stuck his head out to look out.

"Ah... save people!"

There was another mournful call, Lin Xiuyi didn't dare to delay any longer, and people from the other boxes also stuck their heads out one after another. As soon as Lin Xiu saw them, he immediately instructed them:

"Everyone go back first. Maybe something dangerous happened. You'd better stay in the box and wait for further news!"

Lin Xiu quickly ran towards the source of the shouting. Whenever he came across anyone showing his head to watch the fun, he instructed them to stay in the box and wait for further news.

The source of the sound seemed to be in the car next door. As soon as Lin Xiu opened the door of the car, he saw that Miss Sakurako, who was playing the piano in the lounge during the day, fell to the floor. She pointed at the train box in front of her in horror, her body Leaning tightly against the wall of the corridor, his eyes were filled with tears, and his shoulders were trembling slightly involuntarily.

"What happened?" Lin Xiu asked while quickly stepping forward to pick up the frightened Ms. Yingzi. He subconsciously followed the direction of Yingzi's fingers and looked at the box. But I only saw two snow-white thighs on the floor of the box, and I couldn't judge the specific situation for a while.

"what's going on?"

The flight attendant who ran over from the other end of the carriage saw Sakurako lying in Lin Xiuyi's arms, and immediately asked nervously.

I don't know, I'll go take a look first, you'd better ask the doctor to examine this young lady!

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, she handed Yingzi to the other party. Yingzi glanced at Lin Xiu with some nostalgia, and was then helped to the side by the flight attendant's persuasion. At this moment, with the appearance of Lin Xiuyi, those guys who were afraid of getting into trouble all gathered in front of the box door and waited to watch the fun.

Lin Xiu took off his shoes and cautiously walked into the box, only to see a woman lying flat on the carpet under the bed. Her clothes were disheveled and her sensitive parts were all exposed. The woman's neck was tightly wrapped by a towel band, her tongue was leaking out, and her eyes were wide open. Lin Xiuyi squatted down quickly, loosened the towel belt around the woman's neck, and then touched the woman's carotid artery. Although the body was still warm, Lin Xiuyi could no longer feel the pulse.

Unrepentant, Lin Xiu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and then shone on the woman's eyes, and the size of the pupils did not change. He sighed and carefully identified the poor woman. Isn't this the good friend of Sakurako - Erika?

Lin Xiuyi raised Erika's arm and moved it a little. The muscles of the deceased's arm were very soft and the joints were very flexible. The time of death should not exceed an hour.

After completing the preliminary inspection, Lin Xiuyi stood up and walked outside the private room. After leaving the private room, he closed the sliding door of the private room. The specific situation here will have to wait until the forensic doctor arrives before further processing. All Lin Xiuyi had to do was to ensure the integrity of the scene to the greatest extent possible.

Lin Xiu called the flight attendant who helped Yingzi away, and explained to him in a low voice:

"Lock this room for now, and don't let anyone in. The lady inside has been killed, and the murderer is probably still on this train..."

"Sir, your identity is..." The other party asked Lin Lin Xiuyi suspiciously.

"I'm the Police Department of the First Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Shuyi. From now on, I will take over this case temporarily. After arriving at Aomori Station, the Aomori Prefectural Police Headquarters will continue to be in charge of this case." Lin Shuyi said. , he took out the police account from his jacket pocket and showed it to the other party.

"Are you the police department? Ah, I feel more at ease with you here, what should we do now?" The flight attendant who was called aside by Lin Xiuyi let out a long sigh.

"By the way, what do you want to call it?" Lin Xiu asked the other party.

"My name is Megumi Ono, and I'm the conductor of this train. I don't know what to do if something like this happens." The other party said in a depressed mood.

"Tell all passengers first, don't walk around casually, and stay in your own box. I'll check with them one by one in a while! By the way, what time does the dining car on this train close?"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly thought that the entire train was separated by the dining car. If the dining car was locked after it was closed, the passengers in the first half of Cassiopeia would not be able to enter the second half through the dining car. In this case, you can temporarily exclude the first half of the passengers.

"This...it's around eleven o'clock in the evening!" Ono, the train conductor, replied to Lin Xiuyi.

"That's two hours ago? Then after the dining car closes, can the passengers in the front half of the train pass through the dining car to the second half of the train?" Lin Xiuyi continued to ask.

"This, it should not work, because after the dining car closes, we will carefully lock it, so I am sure that no one will enter the second half of the train through the dining car after that..." Ono thought for a long time, finally Only then did he reply to Lin Xiuyi. The restaurants on Cassiopeia use precious and high-end ingredients, and the quality is almost as good as those of the high-end restaurants in Ginza. Therefore, we naturally dare not be sloppy in the anti-theft work after closing.

"So, from the time the restaurant closed until now, has anyone got on and off the bus?" Lin Xiuyi asked seriously.

"Of course not. Only a few passengers on this train got off in Aomori Prefecture, and the rest are going to Hakodate. Although there was a stop just now, we didn't open the door..." Ono Megumi said with great certainty .

Lin Xiuyi thought about it for about ten minutes, and then said to the worried Ono Megumi: "Okay, I understand, thank you for your help, and I will trouble you if necessary!"

Lin Xiuyi already had a general impression of the structure of the carriage. The whole train is cut into two parts by the dining car in the middle. Most of the first half are ordinary boxes, while in the second half, in addition to public areas such as lounges, there are more advanced boxes.

Especially the ultra-luxury box of the last car, you can fully enjoy the scenery at the rear of the train. That box alone occupies almost an entire car, so if you count it carefully, the second half of the train starting from the dining car, There are only ten boxes. If this case was not done by the staff on the train, then the murderer is likely to be hidden among the passengers in these ten boxes.
