v9 Chapter 48: Arrested Professor Araki

As the progress bar on the screen slowly moved to the 100% position, the system quickly gave feedback on the result of this comparison. When the results of the feedback appear on the screen. Everyone was very puzzled by this result. The results of face recognition showed that Xinmu Wanzhai, who was not suspected by the police before, actually appeared in the area near the crime scene that night.

The system quickly output the images related to Xinmu Wanzhai to the monitoring screen of the network security countermeasures class, because the images are arranged in chronological order. So Lin Xiuyi and others quickly figured out the trajectory of Xinmu Wanzhai's activities around the crime scene. And within the time frame of death given by the forensic doctor, the figure of Xinmu Wanzhai did not appear on the monitoring screen.

"Miki?"

"Police! What instructions do you have!"

"We have to bring Xinmu Wanzhai back for questioning as soon as possible, go now!"

Lin Xiuyi said decisively to Miki.

"But, the police department! There were thousands of people who showed up at the crime scene that night. The evidence we have now can only prove that Xinmu Manzhai once appeared near the Imperial Palace Square during the time period of the incident. Mumansai is also a new winner of the Akutagawa Prize. In this case, if we forcibly arrest each other, will it bring you any unnecessary trouble?"

Miki quietly pulled Lin Xiuyi aside, and then said to Lin Xiuyi a little worried. You know, Irie Yongzi, who was brought back just now, is a lawyer himself. Now Lin Xiuyi wants to forcibly arrest an influential writer and scholar. And only one of the two could be the murderer. This also means that one of them must have been wrongly arrested. If at the end, the one who was released from prison will attack the Metropolitan Police Department. Lin Xiu was about to run out of food and walked away.

"Don't worry, if I expect it right, Xinmu Manzhai should happily admit his guilt."

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's confident look, Miki, who was still worried, was also relieved. Out of her trust in Lin Xiuyi, Miki believed that Lin Xiuyi would handle this case safely.

Half an hour later, the three people from the Special Investigation Department drove the Metropolitan Police Department's official car and left the store again, and went to Musashino University in Nishitokyo City again. Because the distance is too far apart, everyone spends a lot of time on the road. But this time, the target of the action is an elderly man over fifty years old and a scholar with a certain social influence. Therefore, Lin Xiu naturally did not dare to kill the troops directly to Musashino University. To be on the safe side, Lin Xiuyi felt that this arrest, relying solely on the strength of the Special Investigation Department was enough to achieve its goal.

After more than an hour's drive. Lin Xiuyi and the others finally felt the second-story building they visited last time. After everyone opened the car door, they got out of the car one after another and stopped in front of Professor Shinki's laboratory.

"Ding dong!"

Lin Xiuyi gently rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened from the inside just like last time.

"Didn't you come to beat that police officer a few days ago? Why, is there anything you want to ask the professor for?"

Lin Xiuyi didn't care about the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone. In fact, it is not uncommon for the police to frequently disturb witnesses and suspects. And this is also one of the main reasons why most people related to the case do not have a high opinion of the police. Many people who have had this experience think their lives have been utterly destroyed by repeated police visits, but these people rarely notice that it is they are being questioned over and over again. Their testimony will appear more or less different from the beginning.

"I'm sorry, after such a short period of time, we have to disturb Professor Xinmu of your school for the second time. Excuse me, is Professor Xinmu here?"

"Yes, but the teacher's work has been very busy recently. I am worried that you are always like this, which will seriously interfere with the normal work of the teacher!"

"Who's outside?"

Just when Professor Xinmu's students were still arguing with Lin Xiu, Professor Xinmu's voice suddenly came from the house.

"Professor Xinmu, I'm Lin Xiuyi from the Police Department's Search Section 1. I'm afraid we have some questions this time, and I want you to go back and discuss with us!"

Lin Xiuyi stood in front of the door and loudly explained his purpose. Immediately afterwards, there were several footsteps behind the door. I saw Professor Xinmu slowly pushed open the door of the research room. Then he stood opposite Lin Xiuyi angrily. ..

"Is there any problem that I can't talk about here, you have to let me go back with you?" Professor Xinmu asked Lin Xiuyi with some dissatisfaction.

"Ah... that's it! We systematically sorted out the surveillance video collected from the crime scene just now. We found your figure in it. This is really a coincidence! In addition, there is another I want to tell you something important. Eiko Irie voluntarily admitted to the police that she killed Hamada Taichi. I think…”

"No...it's impossible! How could Yongzi kill someone?"

"Yongzi? So you know Irie Yongzi!"

Lin Xiuyi could see it from Xinmu Wanzhai's eyes. His words just now had a great impact on Xinmu. Lin Xiuyi could easily confirm that Xinmu Wanzhai was very concerned about Yongzi's situation.

"Hey... Forget it, let's tell you the truth! The person who killed Hamada Dadi was not Yuko Irie~lightnovelpub.net~ but me"

"Teacher...you..." Professor Shinki Mansai's students asked in disbelief.

"I'll have a chance to talk to you later. Now...I don't think I need to go around in circles with them anymore!"

After Professor Xinmu finished speaking, he immediately followed Lin Xiuyi and the others back to the car. When Urashima was about to take out the handcuffs and put them on for Professor Shinki, Lin Xiuyi stopped Urashima's stupid behavior.

After everyone was in the car, Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked:

"Excuse me for taking the liberty to ask, is there a father-daughter relationship between you and Ms. Irie...?"

"Oh...you're right. Yuko Irie is indeed my daughter!"

Professor Xinmu admitted to Lin Xiuyi calmly.

"Okay, I think I have a rough idea of ​​the whole thing now. And you and your daughter, only one of them is the real criminal."
