Chapter 29 The Evolving Windbreaker Man

Chapter 29 The Evolving Windbreaker Man
Takagi rang the doorbell of the house farthest away.

The person who opened the door was an old man.

"Hello, excuse me. Is there any young man in your family?"

The old man looked at him and frowned, as if he had no idea what the other person was talking about.

"Are you home alone?"

Kawanishi Mugui raised his voice, but the other party remained the same.

It seems that there is nothing more to ask.

The second family was a man wearing glasses.

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"I've always been alone." As he said this, the man yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Then may I ask, how long have you lived here?"

"It's been almost thirty years. What happened?"

Takagi and Kawanishi Kiku looked at each other.

The person who opened the door of the third household was a handsome man who looked a bit like a playboy. Just from his appearance, he could easily win the favor of women.

"Excuse me, we are the police. Have you lived here for a long time?"

The other person shook his head and said, "I just moved here not long ago."

"Living alone?"

The man nodded.

Afterwards, the two returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, and Megure Juzo held another meeting and integrated the clues they had obtained.

"There are currently three victims, all of whom failed due to some reasons. From the initial exposure to the subsequent attempt to use sexual violence, the prisoner has become increasingly dangerous."

"If this trend continues, it will probably lead to a tragedy of murder. Moreover, the criminal has become more and more cautious and is no longer as bold as before, which shows that he has realized something."

"What we have to do now is to capture him as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences!"

He might kill someone, or even have killed someone.

He has evolved now, and if we allow him to continue to develop, it will only become increasingly difficult to catch him.

Now we can no longer call him an exhibitionist. Perhaps the name "monster" would be more appropriate, even though it is extremely impolite.

Desire is like an abyss, which gradually swallows people and then makes their energy stronger.

Kawanishi Kigui secretly took out his cell phone and sent a message to his mother: Don't let Shiori go to the training class tomorrow, it's dangerous.

The continuous failures had caused his anger to accumulate more and more——

Three days left.

Early in the morning, Megure Juzo led his men and people from the forensic department to the crime scene.

There was a reed field there and the witness was a fishing enthusiast.

The deceased was a woman and her body had left the Giant View.

There were multiple abrasions on the arms, indicating that he had been dragged for some distance on the ground.

She was eventually put into a body bag and taken to an ambulance.

"Tommy! Tomomi!"

Hideyoshi Ikemoto arrived and called out her name, but unfortunately no one answered him.

A cordon had already been set up around him, and he was stopped by two police officers, without even the chance to see the other person for the last time.

She had even called herself excitedly to tell me that she had passed the exam.

Before she had the chance to become a criminal police officer, such a simple and well-behaved girl left this world.

Qinghai Chuantang was standing in the distance, watching all this with an expressionless face.

But she still felt a little sad in her heart, even though the two of them were not very familiar with each other.

Don't worry, I will find the murderer.

Qinghai Chuantang said silently in his heart.

It seemed like he was talking to himself, or even more like he was talking to Mori Tomomi.

"I have something to ask of you."

A special guest came to Hejiu Law Firm. He looked very young and was a law school student.

As soon as he arrived, he stated his purpose directly, as if he was sure that the other party would not refuse.

Kawano Hejiu motioned for him to sit down, then considerately made a cup of coffee and handed it to him.

"You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Kawano Kawahisa behaved in an approachable manner.

The tone was gentle and slow, forming a sharp contrast with Toushanzhi's anxious voice.

"I miss you, introduce AOI to me."

Kawano Kawaki paused, and after a moment of silence, he pretended to be dumbfounded: "Who is AOI you are talking about? Some new star?"

"You don't have to act stupid. I know more than you think. I know that you have come to where you are today with the help of AOI. After all, it is very difficult to become the top three in the industry."

"Now, I accidentally got into a little trouble and need help. I can only trouble you for a while."

"What disaster?"

"That's it." Dongshanzhi looked at the back of his hands, each of which was covered with a band-aid, "I accidentally killed someone."

"I'm about to graduate from law school. I think you should know how troublesome it would be if something like this was discovered."

"I just want to pass the exam quietly and become a lawyer. Maybe I can come and work for the 'Kawakyu Law Firm' that you founded."

Dongshanzhi said calmly.

His tone was nonchalant, as if he had just killed a chicken.

Kawano He hesitated for a while, because he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false. Moreover, he was not sure whether AOI would agree to this.

"Let me think about it."

"President He Jiu, you don't have much time to think about it. I want an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest, otherwise I will have my own ideas."

"I think there are things you want to keep secret, right?"

Dongshanzhi, wearing silver-rimmed eye sockets, looks gentle and refined.

But beneath the gentle appearance, there is a rotten heart.
The next day, Dongshanzhi came to Hejiu Law Firm again and found him.

In addition to Kawano Kawakuni, there was another man sitting on the sofa who looked to be in his twenties.

"I heard that there is something that needs to be dealt with."

Tou Sanji looked at him, then turned his gaze to Kawano Kawakuni: "President Kawakuni, do you take me for a fool? AOI can't be that young, right?"

"AOI will not show up in person."

So what appeared was just a substitute for AOI. The real AOI would hide behind the scenes and make it impossible for people to find him.

"So, that's why President He Jiu needs to think of more solutions, right?"

Dongshanzhi smiled and said, "We all just want to survive. President He Jiu should know better than me. After all, we are the same kind of people."

As the weather gets colder, there are no more reports of exhibitionists appearing around.

Just like the yellow forsythia, it withers in the winter and blooms again when spring comes.

But a flower of life has no possibility of blooming a second time.

"There were signs of carelessness and panic. He must have been at a loss as to how to deal with the body."

"But why keep the body here?"

Sato was a little confused.

“For enjoyment.”

"enjoy?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, "In order to look at the corpse and feel the moment of killing. After such a fantasy, I will kill again."

"The footprints visible around are very messy, indicating that the murderer has been here more than once."

"If he hadn't been discovered, he could have enjoyed himself for a while longer, but now that he has been discovered, he will probably continue to commit crimes."

It’s just like the previous tape serial murder case.

"There were many bruises on her body, indicating that she had struggled violently."

"I heard that she was a child who wanted to be a police officer, so it is very likely that she left something on the prisoner, such as scratches or teeth marks."

"According to colleagues from the Forensic Science Department, blood and tiny pieces of meat were found under Ms. Tomomi's fingernails. The DNA test results will be out in a few days."

"Then I'll leave everything to you."

"Miss Tang, could it be that..."

"After all, that's what criminal police are for, isn't it?"

Qinghai Chuantang chose to leave.

But this does not mean that she chose to give up.

Two days left.

"Strange, this thing wasn't there when I first identified it."

Forensic officer A looked at a reed leaf with a magnifying glass and saw something red on it, like blood.

There are some footprints on the side.

"Inspector Megure, a hair was found at the scene!"

Forensic Officer B shouted.

"what?"

"So the scene is contaminated?"

Megure Jusan was startled at first, then yelled at the two police officers outside the cordon: "How on earth are you protecting the scene?"

Seeing the two of them lowering their heads with a look of fear, Megure Jusan couldn't help but sigh.

"never mind."

Then he turned to look at Sato, "Are there any suspects around Ms. Tomomi?"

"Nothing has been found so far. During the three years, Ms. Tomomi has never contacted her family or friends. She often appears at Ivy League's examination center, cram school, and study room."

Sato looked at the handwriting on the notebook and said, "Based on the last call record on the phone, it can be concluded that Ms. Tomomi died two weeks ago."

"The cause of death was suffocation caused by the murderer strangling his neck. After investigation, the tire marks at the scene were found to be a special type of high-priced tire."

Megure Jusan nodded.

"Very good, then we will start the investigation from this direction."

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, the police, who had been waiting in the parking garage for a long time, finally found the person they wanted.

"You are very clear about the law, so I think you should be clear about the purpose of our visit."

Dongshanzhi was handcuffed by Sato, "According to Article 199 of the Criminal Code, you are arrested for murder."

"You have the right to hire a lawyer and not to say anything unfavorable, but from now on, everything you say will become testimony in court."

"what?"

He seemed a little unresponsive.

In other words, this development was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Sato took Toyamaji away, while Megure Juzo stayed in the parking garage.

"Did you find any fingerprints or blood?"

The forensic officer shook his head and said, "The interior of the car is too clean. There are no traces at all."

"That is to say, it was wiped by someone."

Megure Jusan nodded, "It seems that he is undoubtedly the murderer."

Even a carefully planned crime will leave traces.

Being too clean will make people feel it is deliberate.

It even makes people feel that he must be feeling guilty.
