v8 Chapter 9: explosion scene

"Police, this is the scene of the accident!"

As Aizawa spoke, he raised the cordon in front of Lin Xiuyi.

Although the case has been treated as an accident, the scene remains the same as it was after the accident. This is a building that looks very stylish. It's a pity that the fire after the explosion has changed a bit beyond recognition.

"Police, please be careful with your steps!"

Aizawa took the initiative to walk to the front, and did not forget to remind Lin Xiuyi to pay attention to safety. To be honest, the site was really damaged because of the fire. The shock wave of the explosion caused chaos in the room. Various items were scattered everywhere. Faced with the situation in front of him, Lin Xiuyi felt that even if there was a murder incident, it would be difficult to extract useful evidence.

"Has the cause of the explosion been determined?"

"It was the aging of the wiring that ignited the high concentration of combustible gas in the room, and the result was an explosion. This has been confirmed by colleagues in the forensics class. Fortunately, this is a low-density high-end community, so it is not a problem for others. What serious injury was caused. And Mr. Kobayashi, who was unfortunately killed, actually died of gas poisoning before the explosion."

Hearing Aizawa's answer, Lin Xiuyi did not doubt the other party's conclusion of the on-site investigation. Both Aizawa and Hanagata used to be his subordinates, especially Aizawa, who is already an experienced old policeman. If he felt that it was an accident, it must be a conclusion drawn from the evidence.

"How pitiful! Have you ever investigated the relationship between the deceased and the neighbors?"

"It has been investigated, Mr. Kobayashi has a good reputation among the neighbors, and he likes to participate in social activities on weekdays. He sounds like a very popular person!"

"The retired primary school principal has a rich life and loves life. It sounds really enviable! But then again, is it possible that he is seriously ill, or has a conflict with someone?"

"What does the police mean, he was killed by someone?"

Aizawa asked Lin Xiuyi in surprise.

"Ah no! I just ask casually, don't care about my opinion!"

When Lin Xiu saw Aizawa's surprised reaction, he knew that he was asking too much. Lin Xiuyi originally thought that this case had some similarities with the one in Hokkaido, but if he really paid attention to those similarities, they were all ordinary details. For example, the deceased were all wealthy old people living alone, and they all died in their own houses, but now there is one more thing, that is, the social relations of the deceased were quite good. To be honest, the silver-haired class who meet the above situation is not a minority in today's aging society!

"In such a big house, I live alone, and I am an elderly person. Is the cleaning work on weekdays handed over to a housekeeping company?"

"Hey, we have also investigated this clue. According to the work records provided by the housekeeping company, the female domestic worker responsible for cleaning Mr. Kobayashi was not in Tokyo during the accident. We have also attached relevant evidence in this regard. in the case file"

Aizawa patiently explained to Lin Xiuyi, and at the same time he noticed that Lin Xiuyi seemed to have a different interest in this case. This kind of concern was not at all like he was asking about the situation of this case. The phrase "I'm just a little concerned about it!" is the kind of attitude it should have.

"Police, can I take the liberty to ask you what is the reason for you to care so much about this case?"

Feeling that something was wrong, Aizawa suddenly grabbed Lin Xiuyi and asked Lin Xiuyi for advice in a low voice.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm really just here to learn about the case. In fact, I just think that the victims of this accident have some similarities with the victims of a case I was asked by a friend to investigate a few days ago. But I'm just skeptical now, maybe I'm too sensitive?"

Lin Xiu reassured Aizawa, and just when he was about to leave, Aizawa still asked Lin Xiuyi unwillingly.

"Police, can I ask again what kind of case you were investigating when you accepted your friend's entrustment?"

"Well, have you heard about the case of Tohoku University professor Eiji Noguchi who committed suicide by burning charcoal? A friend of mine who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seemed to be a student of Professor Noguchi. He was a little concerned about the motive of Professor Noguchi's suicide. So please, I went to Hokkaido to investigate. I have read the investigation records left by the Hokkaido police, and there seems to be nothing wrong. But last night, I accidentally heard Miki talk about the case you are investigating now. I subconsciously compared the two cases, but I didn't expect there to be some similarities?"

"The case of the suicide of a professor at Dongda? I seem to have seen this case in the newspaper. After listening to you, I really want to go back and look at the relevant information of the case. By the way, the police department, what else do you have? If you want to know, I'll show you around the neighborhood, and by the way, I'll ask you for some details about the bombing?"

"I'm sorry about that, Aizawa-kun, your introduction today is very detailed, and I don't have much to know. And I just have something to go to Akasaka, so"

"Ah! You're going to Akasaka, so let me take you there. I just need to go back to our store to deal with some work, so I can take you there by the way!"

"Will this be too much trouble?"

"It's alright, I'm not so anxious about my affairs, and on the way back, I would like to learn more about Professor Noguchi's suicide case from you?"

Lin Xiuyi saw how enthusiastic Aizawa was after hearing the case~lightnovelpub.net~ Knowing that he could not shirk, plus Akasaka and our store were in the same direction, and the distance was not too far, Lin Xiuyi simply sat down with Aizawa He got into the car and left the accident scene in Meguro Ward together.

Aizawa drove his car out of the narrow street, first on Yamate-dori Street leading to the north of Tokyo, and after driving forward for a while, he went straight to the bustling Akasaka along the Shibuya Line.

In the car, Lin Xiuyi briefly told Aizawa about Professor Noguchi's suicide case, but after all, time was in a hurry, and there was no information on hand, so he could only give a brief introduction. Just when the car just passed near Roppongi, Lin Xiuyi suddenly received a call from Rena's cell phone.

"Brother, where are you now, are you coming to Akasaka?"

"Rena-chan, I've already arrived in Roppongi, and I should be near Akasaka Station in a few minutes!"

"Oh brother, I'm just asking. Mingmei-chan is with me, and she said she wanted to invite you to her new home!"
