Chapter 19 The Old Man Hated by Everyone
Chapter 19 The Old Man Hated by Everyone
The autopsy results of the Ivy Holly murder case: the victim fell to the ground with a knife stuck in his body, and the blood flowed slowly. He was stabbed only once, which happened to hit the abdominal artery, causing death from excessive bleeding in the abdominal cavity.
Next to the incision, there is a trace of surgical suture, located at the abdominal aorta.
"According to the results of the search, the suspect Tomomi Mori passed the alley where the victim, Mr. Inamura, was killed at 3:7 a.m. on the day of the crime. The results of the appraisal showed a large amount of bleeding in the abdominal cavity. It is said that the knife was only stabbed once, and it happened to stab the aorta that had been operated on. Tomomi Mori lived in the examination hall rented by the victim for three years and had a dispute over the rent."
Megure Jusan nodded and asked, "Where are the other suspects?"
"People who passed by the building during the time of the incident confirmed that the surveillance results showed no evidence."
There are many ways to avoid being captured by surveillance cameras, not to mention that surveillance is already scarce.
The alley where the victim died had no surveillance, including the back door of the building and the area behind the examination hall.
If he stabbed the victim through the back door and then went back out again, he would not be caught by the surveillance camera. But the back door of the Examination Yuan was always locked, and the key to the back door was in the General Affairs Office.
"The victim's blood was found on Tomomi Mori's clothes, including on her shoes. This is decisive evidence."
The person who spoke was the newest deputy inspector transferred to the First Investigation Division, Kawanishi Kiyoshi. The person who had been following Megure Jusan before was him.
"When he stabbed the victim, his clothes got stuck, blood flowed to the ground, and he stepped on it and left. That's what you mean, right?"
Sato was a little surprised, because she didn't know why Takagi became so proactive.
Kawanishi Mugui nodded, "That's right."
"The weird thing is, her shoes are very clean."
Sato understood something instantly, and thought while stroking his chin: "Indeed, there should be blood splattered when stabbing. So this can only mean that she didn't stab the victim to death, but just stepped on him and left."
Chuanxi Mugui clapped a few times, his movements were slow and he seemed a little reluctant.
Then he said, "But the blood fingerprint of the victim, Mr. Inamura, was found on the heel of the shoe. In short, the victim grabbed Tomomi Mori's shoes, which is evidence of her survival."
"I see." Megure Jusan nodded, "So, Mori Tomomi is most likely the culprit."
"Where, then, was the blood found on the clothing?"
"On one arm."
Kawanishi Mugui raised his hand and indicated, "But there is only a small amount of blood."
The meeting room was separated by a layer of glass, and only through some small holes in the glass could one hear the other party's voice.
"I thought it was my nose bleed because it happens so often."
"You saw nothing? You heard no shouting?"
Tomomi Mori lowered her head.
"I really don't know. I had a mock exam that day and didn't have the energy to think about other things. The results of the previous mock exam haven't come out yet, so I'm a little worried."
Qinghai Chuantang looked at her, "Do you usually wear headphones when walking? Cover your ears with your other hand."
"Yes."
"You bumped into someone, didn't you? You bumped into your right arm that was covering your ears, didn't you?"
Mori Tomomi hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, she nodded.
"Can you recall your appearance? Clothes, or height or something like that?"
Mori Tomomi lowered her head again.
"No, I don't usually pay attention to these things. Because if a dispute occurs, it will waste a lot of time."
The girl's pretty face was filled with indifference.
"So, does he smell like anything?"
Laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, perfume, toothpaste, chewing gum, etc. may all leave a smell on your body.
Mori Tomomi thought about it carefully and nodded.
"Yes, it has a very refreshing smell, but it also feels very pungent."
"Mint?"
"more or less."
Afterwards, Qinghai Chuantang found the general manager, whose name was Ikemoto Hideyoshi, who seemed to be quite familiar with Mori Tomomi, and felt that someone as innocent and well-behaved as her could not be the murderer.
"What kind of person was the deceased Inamura Sosuke?"
"He's very famous in Ivy League. He started from scratch and built a small building, and also built an examination hall. You are a police officer investigating the case, right?"
Ikemoto Eiyoshi's expression instantly became delighted, and even a little excited: "Ms. Tomomi may not be the criminal, right?"
Qinghai Chuantang did not answer his question, but asked: "Did you see her leave that day?"
"Yes, it was around 3 o'clock, a little later than usual. Oh, it was 10:. I even took out my phone to check it!"
Ikemoto Eiyoshi raised his voice unconsciously.
When he found that the other party had been staring at him, in order to cover up his embarrassment, Ikemoto Hideyoshi coughed lightly and explained: "Well, at that time, there was the sound of a car starting up, which was too loud, so I unconsciously wanted to check what time it was."
"car?"
"Yes. There was a man who parked the car next to the examination hall. He had a big fight with Mr. Inamura." As he spoke, Ikemoto Hideyoshi slammed the table and became excited: "The criminal! That guy is probably the criminal!"
There are almost no people driving around here. Colleges, examination halls, and study rooms are all next to each other, so driving is not as convenient as walking.
Under the guidance of Ikemoto Hideyoshi, she saw the car. On the license plate, it said Building C, with a phone number below.
Building C is where children from wealthy families live because the rent there is 20 yen per month.
Qinghai Chuantang found him.
"If you live in Building C, why do you choose to park here?"
“I heard there are many innocent children here.”
"Very tempting?"
Qinghai Chuantang completed his unfinished words, which really hit the nail on the head.
Shinji Miyamoto looks quite handsome, and based on his appearance alone, I believe he can attract some people who are obsessed with looks.
"What are you doing at 3 o'clock?"
"Of course I sang in the practice room, and then I went straight home."
Fortunately, the vehicle was equipped with a driving recorder, which recorded everything clearly.
According to the footage in the video, Miyamoto Shinji did not do as he said. Instead, he paused for a moment when passing through the alley, as if he saw something.
He ran out in a panic, bumped into the car, and ran away again.
"Killed?"
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Shinji quickly waved his hands and said, "No, it's really not me. I didn't kill anyone."
I asked the owner of the karaoke bar before, and they usually close at 2:30. Although I didn't see anything special, the owner said that someone secretly stole the key to the bathroom the night before the incident.
"You stole the key to the karaoke room, didn't you?"
"Mr. Detective, I really didn't." Miyamoto Shinji took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and said, "Okay, I didn't steal this. I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom when the karaoke hall was about to lock the door. But I couldn't tell which key was for the men's bathroom and which was for the women's bathroom. I was in a hurry so I took both and ran into the bathroom."
Illusion is a technique used to confuse others.
Auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations can all be called "illusions". As long as she is in the illusion world, she can make the sounds in her head spread out to the designated people, and even change the tone and timbre at will.
It has to be said that she found a loophole, which was equivalent to taking advantage of this BUG, making the setting that one cannot speak as long as illusion is used ineffective.
In Miyamoto Shinji's eyes, he was facing a detective who looked serious and mature.
"Because the light bulb in the toilet was broken, it was flickering and there was not much light, and someone suddenly appeared there. I was so scared that I ran away."
There is someone in the toilet, is it necessary to be so scared?
"It was the women's restroom, right? So, did you see the face at that time?"
The other person seemed to know everything, making her feel as if she was stripped naked, unable to hide any of her little thoughts.
"The face?" Miyamoto Shinji fell into recollection. "I remember this, and it was somewhat familiar. Also, I saw that person holding a knife. We were both startled by each other, but after she saw me, she ran away in a hurry, probably because she felt guilty."
Led by Shinji Miyamoto, they came to a snack stand.
According to him, the owner of the snack stand often quarreled with Inamura Sosuke, saying that doing business in front of his shop was too noisy and affected his customer flow.
"In that neighborhood, there was no one who hadn't quarreled with him."
"So, you moved here?"
The lady boss looked helpless: "What else? He kept complaining that I was interfering with his business, so he had to move. So from then on, I didn't even look at that old man."
"But why did you go to the bathroom on the day Mr. Inamura died?"
The proprietress paused for a moment, seeming a little nervous.
"I was in a hurry at the time, and there was only that toilet nearby."
The corner of Qinghai Chuantang's mouth twitched and he asked again: "Then why did you run away at that time?"
"Well." The lady boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Because I secretly opened the toilet door with a knife, and I was afraid that someone would find out and call the police."
Because she and Inamura Sosuke had had a fight over this matter before.
I was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so I went to the Wal-Mart supermarket. At that time, the boss lady still used a snack cart and did not rent a storefront.
Inamura Kusuke called the proprietress's behavior "theft," and said: Going to someone else's toilet without paying for water, cleaning, and electricity, if this isn't theft, what is?
Several surveillance cameras inside the Wal-Mart supermarket successfully recorded her figure, and she was finally fined 15 yen before the matter was settled.
“This is too much.”
Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but say.
"Is that so?" Seeing that the other party shared the same opinion as her, the lady boss couldn't help but say a few more words: "He is such a cold-blooded and cruel old man. In fact, no one who works under that old man has never been dissatisfied. Even if you are late for a few minutes, it will be counted as an hour."
"I heard that he bought a luxury car for his grandson and sent him abroad to study."
Generally speaking, if something happens to someone you know, the first people to suspect are their family members.
But how could a good grandfather who bought me a luxury car and sent me abroad to study kill him?
