Chapter 839 A Confusing Case

Chapter 839 A Confusing Case

Soon, Toru Amuro received information from his subordinates.

Suehiko Ito, 35 years old this year, was the president of the third crime research club of Yokohama Marine University. After graduation, he founded a Far East investment consulting company and served as its president.

He is currently wanted by the police as a key suspect in the armored car robbery on April 4.

Yuya groaned, "I see. No wonder he was expelled from school after graduation, and the club took his photo away."

Amuro Toru looked at the information and suddenly said, "There is one more thing. Didn't he set up an investment consulting company? After the robbery, a murder also occurred in the office of that company on April 4."

"The victim was Masashi Nishio, the sales manager of the Far East Company. He was a college classmate of President Ito and was killed by a sniper rifle."

Yuya asked a question at the right time: "College classmate? Did he also join the Crime Research Club?"

Amuro Toru nodded: "That's right."

He turned the screen of his phone around, and on it was a photo of a study session of the Crime Research Society.

Toru Amuro pointed at the man in the middle wearing glasses and said, "This man is Ito Suehiko."

Yuya nodded slightly, and the girl from the club just pointed it out to them.

Amuro Toru pointed to the long-haired man to the right of Ito Suehiko and said, "The man on the right is the murdered Nishio."

Yuuya noticed a beautiful woman to the left of Ito Suehiko, pointed at her and asked, "Who is this woman?"

Amuro Toru took back his phone, looked through the information and said, "Shimizu Reiko, had a good relationship with Ito and Nishio, and once worked at the Far East Company as a secretary, but she committed suicide by jumping into the sea on May 5th."

You couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Suicide?"

A man and a woman who were once members of the same Crime Research Society and worked in the same company, and who stood together with Ito Suehiko in a group photo. One was sniped and the other committed suicide. He didn't believe that there was no secret between them.

Considering that Ito Suehiko was a major suspect in the armored car robbery, the deaths of these two people were most likely caused by an internal conflict due to uneven distribution of the spoils? Was Ito Suehiko the murderer?

There may be other hidden reasons behind Reiko Shimizu's suicide.

Amuro Toru looked at the information and continued, "She committed suicide during the time when the police were looking for her for questioning. Because the local ocean currents were very turbulent, the police determined that there was no chance of her surviving."

Youya pondered for a moment and said, "What about that office?"

Amuro Toru said: "Because the case has not been solved, the Far East Company also closed down due to Ito Suehiko's disappearance. The scene remains the same and no one has been there for a long time."

"The details depend on the case files. The case files are at the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, and it will take some time to transfer them."

"Okay. But before that, since the scene remains the same, let's go over and take a look."

···

They got on Toru Amuro's Mazda and arrived at the Far East Company. They ignored the "No Entry" sign at the door and went all the way to the office.

Yuya looked around, walked to a table and wiped it with his fingers: "There is a lot of dust. It seems that no one has been here since the incident."

At the same time, You also noticed that several places in the office, such as the glass cabinets and the phone on the desk, showed signs of being damaged by gunfire.

Amuro Toru walked to the window, stretched out his hand to pull open the blinds, and then said: "That's why I said that this place is still the same, but at the time of the crime, the windows and blinds were open."

The window was open and the setting sun shone into the house, illuminating the lines that marked the body marks on the ground.

With just one glance, You could tell something was wrong.

At this time, Amuro pointed to a building in the distance and said: "The murderer seems to have sniped from the toilet of that building. The gun used was a Charter Arms AR7 with a silencer installed. It is said that 8 bullet casings were found in the toilet."

"Eight?" Youya was a little confused, "Did the murderer fire more than one shot?"

Amuro Toru nodded and said, "Yes, the murderer emptied the magazine of 8 bullets, and one of them hit the back of Nishio's head, killing him instantly."

"Later, the police found a money truck robbery plan written by Ito in Nishio's desk, so they wanted him."

“These are all written in the information I received.”

Yuya nodded slightly and pointed at the position of the head of the trace line: "Don't you think it's strange? If the bullet that hit the back of the head was a fatal shot, then the amount of bleeding is too little?"

"Indeed," Amuro Toru's eyes fell on the chair, "the blood is also flowing straight down here."

Youya squatted in front of the chair and observed it, and found that one of the wheels of the chair was broken by a bullet, and the bullet hole was right on the edge.

Youye touched the bullet hole. A long time had passed and there was no temperature left on it.

Amuro Toru came over to take a look, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I see."

Yuya smiled slightly: "It seems that Mr. Amuro has also noticed it."

"Let's go, it looks like there are no other clues here."

"Drip drip!"

"Hello, I'm Kamiya."

The client's voice sounded: "You seem to have progressed to the next stage."

"Yeah, it took a little effort, but I finally found it."

"Do you know the case I want you to solve?"

Yuya replied: "Is it the case where Masashi Nishio was shot?"

"That's right," the client breathed a sigh of relief, his tone full of satisfaction, "As expected of Kamiya Yuya, you can investigate to this extent with just these hints."

Youya hesitated for a moment and asked, "You are not..."

“Click, beep, beep!”

The call was hung up.

Youya narrowed his eyes. Although the other party did not answer, this action undoubtedly revealed the answer.

Suddenly, Toru Amuro's cell phone rang.

He took out his phone and took a look at it, then said, "Got it. The case file."

You was also a little surprised. This efficiency was quite high.

"What is the content?"

Amuro Toru took a quick look and said, "I see, there is a follow-up to the murder of Nishio."

"On the night Nishio was shot, a car accidentally overturned and was severely damaged at the pier. The driver was Ito Suehiko.

His injuries were so serious that it was a miracle that he survived. He stayed in the intensive care unit for more than a month.

The police investigated the car and found that the brakes had been tampered with, and found a rifle in the trunk. Although the fingerprints on it were wiped off, it was later identified that the gun was the one used to kill Nishio.

Yuya pondered, "Where's Ito? Since he's still wanted, does that mean he hasn't been arrested?"

Amuro Toru nodded. "Yes, two months after the car accident, Ito was finally allowed to see someone. But when the police went to look for him, they found that he was gone. Later, they couldn't find his whereabouts, so they issued a wanted warrant."

Yuya asked, "So, the murderer who sniped Nishio was Ito?"

Amuro Toru continued to read the content of the information: "Ito's footprints were indeed found at the sniper scene, and there was smoke on his clothes. He did shoot at Nishio, and the shells left at the scene also matched the capacity of the magazine, but..."

Yuya continued: "But when Ito shot, Nishio might have been dead."

Amuro Toru nodded: "The police found a little bit of mascara on the gun's scope. It was stained when looking through the scope. After investigation, only one person related to Ito and Nishio used this kind of mascara."

Yuya looked at Amuro Toru and said word by word: "Shimizu Reiko?"
