Chapter 81 Innocence
"On the 5th of this month, a woman was killed by being hit on the head in Michino Park in Yūka-cho and buried in the ground."

"Based on the situation at the scene, the police determined that this murder case was related to the serial killer 'Shovel Man' nine years ago."

However, the murderer of the Shovel Man case nine years ago, "Yoji Komori", had already been arrested by the police.

After ruling out the possibility of jailbreak, the only two possibilities left are copycat crime and the wrong person being arrested.

Qinghai Chuantang stood up and prepared to go to the counter to handle banking business.

But here, a man and a woman walked in, holding guns in their hands.

robbery?

Apart from the man and woman, the remaining people present were Qinghai Chuantang, Judy, an old man, and two bank employees.

Upon seeing this, everyone raised their hands at the same time.

At the other party's request, the five of them stood in a row.

The woman walked over and closed the glass door, pressed the switch of the rolling door, and pulled the curtains, creating a closed state.

The man threw a circle of tape at Qinghai Chuantang's feet, pointed a gun at her and said, "You, go and tie up their hands."

"Then call the police and ask Chizuki Shizuda from the Ministry of Transportation to come. We both have bombs strapped to our bodies."

"If they insist on breaking out, then we'll all die together!"

Qinghai Chuantang did not struggle at all and obediently followed the other party's request.

When she faced Judy, she whispered "I'm sorry."

Then I wrapped the tape around it a few more times to make it look very strong, just like a plaster.

If their target was only "Chimoku Shizuta" of the Ministry of Transportation, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

After all, people from the Ministry of Transport often patrol the streets. As long as you ask more, you will always meet them.

Unless they have other purposes.

After calling the police, the special forces and mobile team of the Investigation Section 1 will immediately surround the place and then conduct negotiations.

If the negotiation call is rejected or the negotiation fails, they will choose to attack forcefully.

After doing all this, Qinghai Chuantang was very conscious and wrapped tape around his hands as well.

"Sorry, I"

Before Judy could finish her words, the man interrupted her: "Stop pretending, speak Japanese."

After a moment of silence, Judy began to speak Japanese, pretending to be scared.

"What is your purpose in taking hostages? If it was just for robbery, you wouldn't do this, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

The man pulled out a chair and sat down. "As long as you don't play any tricks, I won't hurt you."

All they wanted was a bargaining chip that could be used in face-to-face negotiations with the police - exchanging hostages.

Although the elderly are easy to control, they are an extremely unstable factor.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to use the old man as a bargaining chip to exchange for Shizuta Chiwang.

The safety of hostages' lives has always been the top priority, so they dare not act rashly.

What's more, they had declared in advance that they had bombs strapped to their bodies, and if the police chose to attack by force, they would choose to die together with them.

If something like this really happened, the prestige and trust of the police among the public would naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, compared with the current situation, they are in an advantageous position.

After searching her body, the woman found nothing like a gun.

So he tied her hands with tape and wrapped it around her several times to prevent her from breaking free and attacking him when he was not prepared.

In addition to this, the woman also took away her mobile phone.

The man took out his mobile phone and placed it on the table. The interface showed that the phone was recording.

"Do you know how we have been through these nine years? Now, the murderer of the shovel man has appeared again, which shows that my father was wrongly accused."

However, Shizuda Chiwang chose to remain silent and even turned her head away.

At this time, the cell phone rang.

"who are you?"

"I'm Tengchi from the Investigation Division. Who are you?"

"Youmiko."

"Ms. Yumiko. Is anyone injured over there?"

"currently there is not."

"Ms. Yumiko," Fujichi said with a slight smile in his voice, "You seem to be very calm now. Why don't we work together and solve this matter calmly?"

After hearing what the other party said, Yumiko smiled.

"The police are not trustworthy. You should be busy solving other cases now. The shovel man from nine years ago has reappeared."

"Catch the murderer, that's what we demand. If the murderer is not caught, we will kill one hostage every hour."

Yumiko said so.

"If you want to do this, then we can only choose to attack by force."

"Then I will also detonate the bomb strapped to my body. If you think I'm bluffing, you can just rush in."

After saying this, Yumiko repeated her previous request.

Before the other party answers, hang up the phone.

On August 9, nine years ago, the Shovel Man committed his first crime.

The victim was named Hayashi Kako, a 14-year-old female junior high school student and the granddaughter of a politician.

So it caused a big sensation in society at that time.

He disappeared on his way home from school and was found buried in the woods the next morning.

A hand stretched out, and next to it, a shovel stood like a tombstone.

The cause of death was internal skull damage caused by head trauma, that is, being hit on the back of the head with a shovel.

There were no witnesses and no clues.

The second crime occurred five days later, on August 5.

The victim was named "Gu Mori Kikue", 50 years old at the time. The cause of death was the same as the former, and the body was found in the green area of ​​the park.

The murder weapon used and the way the body was buried were exactly the same as in the first case.

Therefore, the investigation headquarters concluded that this was a serial murder case.

In the second case, although the surveillance camera recorded certain footage, it did not capture the murderer’s appearance.

Just from the body shape, it can be concluded that the other person is a man.

The third case occurred two weeks later on August 8.

The victim was the detective investigating the case: Inspector Tsukazu Namida of the First Investigation Division.

Although the surveillance camera captured the crime process, the murderer could not be identified.

The murderer who had already killed two people, as if in a provocation, targeted the "criminal police" as the third person.

A month after the third case, police arrested Yoji Furumori.

Generally speaking, if it is a serial murder, people who are hunting for prey will not choose people close to them as targets.

But after interrogating Yoji Furumori, he confessed, so he was arrested.

But in court, Yoji Furumori suddenly claimed his innocence.

Eventually the court sentenced him to death and he is now in prison.

"The man arrested as the murderer is the husband of the second victim, Furumori Kikue. You are their children."

Qinghai Chuantang was somewhat fortunate that he had seen reports about the Shovel Man case on the Internet.

"So, you want to prove your father's innocence, right?"

The man's name is "Furumori Kazunari" and the woman's name is "Furumori Yumiko", and they are brother and sister.

And their father is the serial killer in the "Shovel Man Hunting Murder Case" reported in the previous news - Furumori Yoji.

They firmly believed that their father was wrongly accused.

And Chiho Shizuda is the key witness.

With her testimony, plus the evidence in his hands, he could overturn his father's case.

This was what the two had been dreaming of for countless days and nights.

"you're right."

Gu Shouhecheng picked up his phone and found a photo from the album. It was a group photo of four people.

Two of them looked very familiar, and the remaining two should be their parents.

The family members all have happy smiles on their faces, and the picture looks very harmonious and beautiful.

Judging from the way the Gu Shou couple were dressed and the environment of the photo, they must have run a bakery before.

"It's impossible for my father to kill my mother. They had such a good relationship!"

Gu Shouhecheng brought the phone to Shizuda Qianwang again and said sternly: "It was definitely not my father who killed him!"

Shizuda Chimotsu still turned her head away and said nothing.

"The police, whose investigation had reached an impasse, fabricated evidence and framed an innocent person in order to avoid losing the trust of the public."

Yumiko looked at Chimoku Shizuda and choked up as she said, "When the murderer committed the third crime, my father was far away from the crime scene and was ticketed for speeding."

"When my father remembered this, we immediately went to the Ministry of Transport to inquire."

“They said there was no record at all!”

Gu Shouhecheng followed up and completed the conversation, his emotions obviously becoming extremely excited: "They deleted the records in order to erase my father's alibi!"

Yoji Furumori's confession was the key to his arrest.

But if a person is not allowed to sleep for two weeks and is constantly interrogated, in that state, even a rabbit will say that he is a tiger.

"If it's a traffic violation, there should be a copy of the ticket, right?"

"Yes."

Yumiko took a step forward, looked at Qinghai Chuantang and said, "We searched desperately, but we couldn't find him until the verdict was finalized. Just like that, my father was sentenced to death."

But even so, she still persisted in searching for the past nine years, never stopping for a moment.

I just thought that if I tried harder, I could clear my father's name sooner.

Even if I was rummaging through garbage and was looked down upon by people around me, I persisted.

Finally, the ticket was found among the books sold by Furumori Yoji in a second-hand bookstore.

"Do you know how much hardship we went through before we finally found it?"

Yumiko's eyes were very moist.

She took the book out of her bag, found the ticket, and walked up to Chinois Shizuda.

"Back then, you were the one who handled my father's speeding case."

Chiho Shizuda finally decided to face it.

And everything written on it was exactly the same as his own handwriting.

"You could have stood up and testified for your father, telling everyone that he was wrongly accused. But you didn't!"

"You just chose to watch him go to jail unjustly. Now, what else do you have to say?"

Could it be that you really don’t remember it?

"I issue a lot of tickets every day at the Ministry of Transport, and I don't even remember if I had any contact with him at the time of the incident."

Yumiko sneered and put the ticket carefully aside.

"Your superior gave you an order, right?"

Shizuda Chimo lowered her head and did not answer.

Over the past nine years, Furumori Yoji has finally gone from struggling at first to giving up at last.

But even so, the brother and sister never thought of giving up for a moment, and they were determined to seek justice for their father and clear his name.

Now, the doctors told them that their father didn't have much time to live.

Time is running out.
