v8 Chapter 6: Hokkaido Police Headquarters

"Hello sir, do you need any help?"

In the lobby on the first floor of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, two female police officers with facial markings saw Lin Xiuyi approaching, and immediately bowed slightly and asked Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiu bowed and returned a salute, then took out his police account and replied to the other party.

"Ah, I'm actually a policeman too!"

"Ah, so you came from the Police Department from the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hey, about a month ago, there was a case of Dongda professor committing suicide by burning charcoal. If it is convenient, I would like to talk to the police officer in charge of the case to understand the situation at that time. Ah... Please don't. Misunderstanding, this is just because this professor is the mentor of a friend of mine, and this friend of mine has never been able to let go of the news of the teacher's passing, so he made a special trip to entrust me to come and ask, that's all!"

Lin Xiuyi said sincerely to the two policewomen in charge of reception. Because there is no first-hand information, Lin Xiuyi can't conclude whether this case is really suicide. According to Kono Shohei, Professor Noguchi is a man who will do what he says, and will definitely not choose to judge himself without fulfilling his ideals. But this mere suspicion cannot be regarded as strong evidence to overturn Professor Noguchi's conclusion of suicide.

"Okay, I understand, please wait here for a while, and I will notify my colleagues in the criminal department to come down and receive you!"

The female police officer who was in charge of the reception let Lin Xiuyi on the sofa to the side, and then she notified the person in charge of the criminal department by phone. About five minutes later, a policeman in his thirties came to Lin Xiuyi. in front of.

"Excuse me, are you the Forest Police Department who came all the way from Tokyo?"

The other party looked Lin Xiuyi up and down, and when he noticed that Lin Xiuyi seemed to be much younger than himself, the other party couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

"Hey, what do you call yours?"

"The next one is Takashi Imai, the inspector of the First Division of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters. I am responsible for the suicide of Eiji Noguchi. Excuse me, is there something wrong with you coming from afar?"

Lin Xiu didn't mind when he saw the suspicious look on his face. He stood up, took out the business card case from the pocket of his suit, and immediately took out a hand and handed it to the other person.

"Next is Lin Shuyi, the person in charge of the Special Investigation Department of the Police Department's Search Section 1. This time I made a special trip to Sapporo to see you, mainly to learn about the specific circumstances of Professor Noguchi's suicide. Please don't think too much about it, I am right. I don't know the specific situation of this case. It's just that a friend happened to be Professor Noguchi's student, so I accepted the request of the other party and came here to inquire about the specific situation. If there is anything disturbing, please be careful. Don't blame me!"

Lin Xiu said in a sincere tone, and then bowed to the other party. Imai Takahashi saw that the other side was bowing to himself, and hurriedly lowered his head to return the salute, and at the same time, the unhappiness in his heart also faded a lot.

"Since you came here specially for this matter, you can't leave empty-handed. Well, please go up with me, and I will do my best to provide all the information you need!"

"In that case, thank you very much!"

Lin Xiuichi followed Imai Takazhi through the gate in the hall, and then the two took the elevator to the floor where the criminal department was located. After Takahashi Imai led Lin Xiuyi to an vacant lounge, he left for a while. After about ten minutes, Takahashi Imai returned to the lounge with a box of documents.

"All the information about Professor Noguchi's suicide case is here. Because it is a completed case, the information and everything are put together. It may be a little troublesome to organize. I hope you can understand this point!"

"Hey, I understand, if you still have work to do, I won't waste your time!" Lin Xiu quickly persuaded the other party when he saw Takazhi Imai's slightly nervous expression.

"No, I'm in charge of Eiji Noguchi's case. If you need anything, just ask me directly!" Imai Takashi replied with a hint of caution in his tone.

Lin Xiu smiled and didn't care about the other party's attitude towards him. He knew very well in his heart that no police officer would like others to point fingers at the cases he was responsible for.

Under the attention of Takahashi Imai, Lin Xiuyi clocked in the documents that the other party held, and then read it carefully. Based on the information provided on this fact sheet. The police arrived at the scene after receiving the report, and the identity of the caller was Echika Eve, a cleaning lady hired by Professor Noguchi during his lifetime.

According to the information provided on the document, the first person who discovered the scene, Echizen Eve, was a dispatched member of a housekeeping cleaning company in Hokkaido. And the day of the incident happened to be the agreed cleaning date. Echizen Eve came to Eiji Noguchi's house at the usual time. He opened the door of his house with the key that Noguchi Hideyo gave to the cleaning company,

Echizen Eve thought at first that Professor Noguchi was not at home~lightnovelpub.net~ Who knew that when he opened the sliding door of the study again, he found Professor Noguchi who had collapsed in the room. At the same time, there was a strong voice in the room. charcoal smell. Echizen Eve, who knew something was wrong, immediately notified the police to come to block the scene. In the end, the police officer in charge of the investigation found a dead letter in the pocket of the deceased's shirt when cleaning the scene. It was immediately determined that the case was a suicide.

Lin Xiuyi took a general look at the discovery of this case. Then he began to seriously observe the photos of the corpse taken at the scene.

Professor Noguchi in the photo looks ruddy with his eyes closed. Lin Xiuyi clearly knew. This is a typical manifestation of carbon monoxide poisoning. But in addition, Lin Xiuyi noticed that Professor Noguchi was wearing an elegant suit, but no tie, and his left and right hands were alternately placed on his abdomen. The expression looks very peaceful,

After Lin Xiuyi put down the photo, he found the letter that the police found on Professor Noguchi's body. I saw that the letter was printed out on printer paper, and at the same time, only Professor Noguchi's fingerprint was left on the paper, and the content of the letter was only two short sentences.

"I have failed everyone's expectations of me, please forgive me for leaving without a word!"
