The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 176 There is no shortcut in investigating the case

"Also, let's list all the people who meet the above five characteristics and are familiar with Taro Nojiri, and narrow down the scope!"

"Boss, the five characteristics you mentioned, in addition to being strong and male, Nojiri Taro's wife Keiko also meets the requirements, and she has no alibi to prove it!" Lu Le first compared it and said .

"No matter who it is, as long as there is any suspicion, list it first, and then we will eliminate it too late!" Cheng Mo nodded.

"That Zhumalang manager of Tongyuan Yang Company, Taro Nojiri's immediate boss, does he meet the requirements in terms of body shape?"

"On the list!"

"List all the people you think are suspicious, and we will eliminate them one by one."

"Yes!"

……

"Nojiri Taro works at Tongyuan Matheson Co., Ltd. According to his colleagues, he is a very good person. Because he does not work often, he rarely has conflicts with his colleagues. His performance is also good. He does not stand out or stand out. Lagging behind, he is just an ordinary account specialist in the foreign company. This should be established if the people in the foreign company did not deliberately lie. In this way, the possibility of murderous intentions due to work conflicts is extremely low, but they are Those in foreign trade must have good relationships with customers. According to our interviews with some of his customers, the general impression is good and he has no grudges with anyone. Therefore, the possibility of vendetta caused by conflicts at the work level is very small. In this way , only what Lao Lin said, love killing..."

"Cheng Tou, is it possible that it was robbery and murder? Taro Nojiri was first coerced into the alley and then killed?" Xu Qinghe said.

"What if she was afraid that the victim would continue to pester her? After all, the victim has a special hobby that is difficult to understand."

The current investigation direction is wrong.

"Nojiri Taro left Miss Xia and left a sum of money, and the two of them just did what they did. According to common sense, Miss Xia will definitely not murder him. She has no such motive!"

"The victim did not have any grudge against anyone at work. The only information we have now is the triangular relationship between the victim, the victim's wife Keiko and Miss Xia." Xu Qinghe said, "Before the victim died, he talked to his wife Keiko on the phone and went there again. Regarding Miss Xia’s residence and the time period when the victim died, neither Miss Xia nor Mrs. Keiko seem to have strong alibi..."

"The autopsy found that Nojiri Taro's wallet was not taken away, and the coins inside were also there. This means that it was not a robbery or murder. Otherwise, the murderer could take away the murder weapon, so why not take away the wallet. This was his original purpose. "

"There is indeed a lack of evidence to support the robbery and murder, but it is a bit unusual that the murderer did not take away the victim's wallet. He could have taken the wallet to mislead our investigation..." Lin Huarong said.

Involving Japanese murder and silence.

"What Lao Lin said makes sense. The murderer was well prepared for the murder. With his meticulous thinking, he left almost no traces at the scene. There is no reason why he wouldn't have thought that taking the victim's wallet could mislead our investigation. This It shows that he is here just to kill people. As for the victim's property, he doesn't care at all!" Cheng Mo nodded.

"No, it was the husband who died. We have no conclusive evidence to arrest the wife. This is inappropriate. Moreover, they are both Japanese expatriates. Now this case is of concern to the Japanese side and is very sensitive. Even if we have suspicions, We can't arrest people without evidence," Cheng Mo objected.

"Then the suspicion on Mrs. Keiko is even greater, and we should bring her under control."

"Miss Xia didn't know about these special hobbies for the first time. If she had wanted to get away, she would have moved away long ago. Why bother causing a 'dead cat' incident?"

In fact, Cheng Mo hoped that it was Huizi who did it, so that the case would be much simpler, but if not, it would be troublesome.

The problem is, who can prove that "Taro Nojiri" is a Japanese spy? Knowing and getting the evidence are two different things.

That's the crux of the case.

There is also a question, whether his wife Keiko knows the identity of Nojiri Taro, or she herself is one of them. You know, the Japanese spies in the Inoue Mansion are basically male. He can't tell whether there are females.

I can’t say for sure that there is absolutely none.

Moreover, since Nojiri Taro died outside, they had no reason to search his home. Even if there was a lot of evidence, it might be wiped out.

Telephone!

Cheng Mo suddenly remembered a detail. Keiko called Nojiri Taro. How did she know that Nojiri Taro had been staying at Yangxing Bank that day? You know, Nojiri Taro was not on duty. He was not at Yangxing Bank most of the time. He was communicating outside. Customers are business people.

Where did she make that call? She said she was taking her children to the amusement park that day. Which amusement park did she go to? When did she go back?

He had to implement this detail.

"You go to Taihe Restaurant first. I've reserved a private room. Go directly and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes!" After coming out of the patrol room, Cheng Mo touched his pocket and found that he had no cigarettes.

"Boss, I have some here. Can you smoke mine?" Lu Le took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them over.

"No, I have to buy it anyway. Just come when you go. I will be there when you finish ordering." Cheng Mo waved his hand and said.

"Brother Xu, does the boss think my cigarettes are bad?"

"No, he smokes the same cigarettes as you, but he doesn't like smoking the ones given by his subordinates, because he never takes advantage of his subordinates." Xu Qinghe explained with a smile.

Lu Le nodded as if he didn't understand.

Cheng Mo came to Lao Miao Grocery Store and gave an order: "Let Third Brother ask if there is any important fish that slipped through the 'Dog Team', and notify me as soon as possible after finding it. Be quick."

"clear."

Cheng Mo asked Lao Miao to get him a pack of cigarettes again, paid for it, and then left.

After dinner, the group went to the crime scene. This time was almost the same as the time Taro Nojiri was killed.

Stores that are still awake and closed at this time are very likely to see and hear something. If you come to ask at night, you may get unexpected results.

Cheng Mo also wanted to come to Huizi to learn more details, and also wanted to observe Huizi's reaction.

However, when he came to the place where Keiko lived, he found that the lights in her house had been turned off long ago. Although it was not too early to go to bed now and it was normal for children to go to bed early, adults generally would not go to bed at this time in summer. Yes, unless you are in a rural area where there are no recreational activities, what can you do if you don’t sleep? You can still get up early and work in the cool weather.

Shanghai is different from the countryside. At this time, there are not many people sleeping, but ordinary people have gone home and will not wander around in the streets.

Everyone was already asleep, so it was natural not to disturb her anymore. After all, it was late at night, and Keiko, a woman whose husband had just died, had a lot of gossip.

But Cheng Mo still felt that something was not right, so he knocked on the door of the old couple who had not rested in the main room.
