Ke Xue: Picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning

The police believed that 'Chou Si Lang' was the murderer's name, but after repeated investigations, they never found him. "

"That's right." Miwako Sato sighed deeply: "No one knows who the 'Koushiro' that father said was, only that he kept calling that name at that time.

after that……

When my mother and I rushed to the ambulance to see him for the last time, he only briefly explained some of our family affairs, but did not say who the murderer was. "

Bai Quanyi said: "It's just the clue of 'Chou Si Lang', there is no way to find the murderer..."

"No...it's not just such a clue."

Miwako Sato gave another clue just in time.

"Because the bank robbery that year caused quite a stir, the Metropolitan Police Department also attached great importance to my father's sacrifice.

So in the past 18 years, the police have been working on the investigation of the 'Chou Si Lang' case.

But they found nothing.

And the problem lies in the fact that 'nothing was found'. "

Sato Miwako said earnestly: "After investigation, the batch of serial numbers of 5.5 million cash that the robbers robbed from the bank has never shown signs of being circulated on the market."

All banknotes are numbered.

By tracking the serial numbers on these banknotes, the police can find out whether the stolen cash was used by the murderer and where it may be used.

583 However, the 5.5 million cash stolen by the robbers has no trace of circulation in the market at all.

Bai Quanyi said: "If the murderer has not used the money, as long as we can determine the identity of the murderer, we may be able to find the huge sum of stolen money from his home. This is enough to prove his identity."

"I think so too. But..." Miwako Sato thought that the prosecution period would soon pass, and she no longer had any hope.

"But what?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"This case has never been solved, and I have given up hope. I am blind, and the most important thing is to solve the arson case!" Miwako Sato squeezed out a shallow smile.

Miwako Sato stepped on the brakes and slowly parked the car on the side of the road. The police car had already arrived at the scene of the crime.

The residential area on the side of the road has been burned by the fire, and the air is still filled with black smoke that has not yet dissipated.

Fire trucks and police cars blocked the surrounding area, and the police pulled up a long blockade at the entrance of an alley on the side of the street.

Looking far away on the ground behind the blockade, you can faintly see a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

"We're here."

Miwako Sato stopped the car skillfully and stepped out of the car door first.

Chapter 153 The Confused Arsonist

Bai Quanyi, Sato, Takagi and his party entered the alley.

This alley was both a murder scene and a fire scene.

On the left and right sides of the alley, there are small buildings built by one family without a yard, and the distance between buildings is relatively dense.

The fire started from a small building on one side of the alley. Fortunately, the firefighters arrived quickly and extinguished the fire in time, so that the fire did not spread to the entire nearby residential area.

The victim's body was not affected by the fire because it was lying in the middle of the alley.

But the place where he fell to the ground happened to be in front of the small building that caught fire, only a few meters away from the fire.

This makes it easy to think whether his death is related to the arsonist.

"So, it has been determined that this is arson?"

Miwako Sato asked the police present with some anxiety.

They are all police officers from the nearby police station, and they rushed to the scene shortly after the fire broke out.

"That's right, Officer Sato."

The local police officer gave an affirmative answer:

"We found the empty gasoline cans left by the murderer next to the fire, which was obviously arson."

"And the method of committing the crime is the same as the recent serial arsonist who caused turmoil in Tokyo, so we speculate that this is probably the guy who did it, and it is his fourth crime."

"Yeah." Miwako Sato nodded, and then turned her gaze to the corpse on the ground:

"What about the dead man?"

"How did he die, did any witnesses see the situation at that time?"

"This..." A local police officer stood up, "When the fire broke out, I happened to be patrolling nearby. When I saw black smoke coming out of here, I rushed over immediately."

"When I arrived, what I saw was what it looks like now, a corpse lying in a pool of blood."

"At that time, there were already a few passing citizens gathered in this alley."

"I asked them about the situation at the time, but they all said that they had just arrived after the fire and did not see what happened at that time."

Hearing this, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru had serious expressions:

"That is to say, there are no witnesses in this case, and no one knows how the gentleman died?"

"you can say it this way."

The local police officer nodded:

"I couldn't get anything out of the mouths of the citizens at the scene."

"But to be on the safe side, I still kept those few citizens and didn't let them leave."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few citizens who were carefully guarded by the police and stayed at the scene:

"Officer Sato, if you have any questions, you can ask them again."

"Okay." Sato Miwako nodded.

The police officer from the police station rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, and controlled all the onlookers at the scene in time, and did not let them leave at will.This will be very helpful for follow-up cases.

Miwako Sato continued to ask, "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

The policeman replied: "It's confirmed. The name of the deceased is Iida Shun, 28 years old. He used to be a criminal policeman of the Mihua Police Department, and now works in a private security company."

"Single, living alone, usually at this time should still work in the company."

"Because he had a date with someone tonight, he came home from get off work early, and then...was found lying here."

Takagi She, who was taking notes silently, stopped writing and couldn't help asking: "It's only been more than half an hour since the case happened? How did you find out the identity of the deceased so clearly?"

"Because the home of the deceased Mr. Iida is here. After we arrived at the scene, we quickly found out his identity from his neighbors and tried to get in touch with his colleagues in the company."

As he said that, the local police officer pointed to a small building next to him.

This small building is just across from the fire site, across an alley from the fire site.

It was precisely because of the barrier of this alley that this small building was completely preserved and was not affected by the fire.

"This is Mr. Iida's house."

"He died in front of his own house."

The police officers at the police station shared the information they had.

Immediately afterwards, they stated their speculations:

"Mr. Iida used to be a policeman and has a strong sense of justice."

"Neighbors also say that he has a warm and straightforward personality, and likes to fight for others."

"In addition, the arsonist set fire to the opposite side of his house this time, and the fire will also threaten Mr. Iida himself."

"So, Officer Sato, we think..."

"He should have happened to see the murderer setting fire when he was coming home from get off work, so he rushed up to fight him bravely, trying to stop the murderer."

"result……"

Looking at the corpse lying in a pool of blood next to it, the result is self-evident.

And hearing this guess, Sato Miwako and Takagi Tsubasa also nodded again and again:

Indeed, Mr. Iida died just in front of the fire.

Not long after the fire ignited, onlookers came nearby and saw Mr. Iida's body.

The arsonist must have just left by then.

And Mr. Iida happened to die at this time, so it is difficult not to link his death to the arsonist.

The statement of being brave for righteousness can completely explain everything.

"But... still can't draw conclusions so easily."

Miwako Sato still did not relax her vigilance.

"White Police Officer, what do you think?"

Miwako Sato set her sights on Bai Quanyi.

Bai Quanyi was wearing white gloves, squatting in front of the corpse, checking the condition of the corpse.

"At present, it can be seen that the deceased did fight with someone before he was alive. First, there was a deep scratch on his right wrist, which may have been caused by the wrist being forcibly restrained by the opponent during the fight. The back of the occipital There is a strip-shaped contusion wound, and there are many bridges between tissues in the wound cavity. The wound is not opened obviously, and the amount of bleeding is small. This should be formed by hitting with a wooden stick. That is to say, he was beaten with a wooden stick. Something like that hit the back of the head from behind. But it shouldn't have killed him. Because of the real fatal injury, I don't say that everyone should be able to see it..."

The deceased lay face down in a pool of blood.

There was a dagger in his chest, which remained on the body, making the cause of death appear obvious.

"That……"

Miwako Sato still didn't get the answer she wanted:

"Then is this an accidental death caused by bravery?"

"It is still uncertain. There is also a possibility that the real culprit and the arsonist are not the same person. When the real culprit was fighting Mr. Iida, the arsonist happened to set fire on the opposite side of the alley. So he had an idea and threw the body in the Next to the fire scene, put the blame on the arsonist's head, let the other party achieve the achievement of "killing and arson".

Sato and Takagi were startled, there is indeed such a possibility, and the possibility is quite high.

The arsonist just set the fire and did not commit murder. The arsonist had no reason to kill Iida.

Takagi said discouragedly: "If the real culprit was someone else, he would have escaped a long time ago, and there is no way for us to catch him."

Bai Quanyi continued: "No, if the real culprit dragged Iida here and blamed the arsonist, he would not be able to escape in time, because the police who arrived at that time had already controlled the situation and surrounded the surrounding area with possible arsonists. If the personnel are under control, the real culprit must be among them."
