"I forgot which direction it was. The cornfield is gone now. Oh no, I said it wrong. It's... it's sunflowers," Sato said more and more hesitantly, "I'm sorry, these days, you can't see any in Tokyo." It’s sunflower…
"However, I can remember that the crime scene was very close to the village, so Pingcheng Xingjia was probably attacked on his way to get off work, and then dragged more than 200 meters by the gangsters to a sunflower field before committing the murder!
"At that time, that place was very remote," Sato recalled. "We later investigated almost all the residents in the village, but found nothing... "
"What about... interpersonal relationships?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Does Pingcheng Xinjia have any enemies?"
"No," Sato said with certainty, "That little girl is a kind-hearted person, sunny and loves life. She has a good relationship with her family and friends... "
"So... is there anything left from that case? For example, the remaining white candles and charcoal?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"I don't know about that. It should be sealed in the archives, right?" Sato answered uncertainly.
"Then...where is the murder weapon? Also, the scene is a sunflower field, are there no footprints left?" Zhao Yu continued to ask.
"Yes, there are footprints. It's impossible not to leave footprints on that kind of soft soil," Sato said. "We have extracted several complete footprints. We suspect that the murderer is between 1.80 and 1.85 meters tall." The man weighs about 180 pounds, but... no fingerprints were found...
"In that era when technology was not yet developed, footprints and fingerprints were the most important means... "
"Pingcheng Xinjia was working in a real estate company at the time," Zhao Yu asked again, "Have you investigated her colleagues and leaders?"
"Of course we investigated," Sato said. "There are only a few male employees who meet the requirements. They all have alibis, so they are all excluded...
"Well... Officer Jade..." Sato recalled for a while and said, "When we were analyzing the case, we all reached a certain consensus. The Sunflower case gave us the feeling that it was more like a random crime!"
"Oh? A random crime?"
"Yes," Sato said, "The murderer's purpose was to kill a girl in the sunflower field. That day, he just happened to meet Heijo Nobuya who was coming home from get off work late at night!
"The remains of sacrifices, cut ears, X-shaped wounds, and no traces of violation are all typical presentational features. The murderer seems to be completing some kind of murder ritual!
"Because of this, I mentioned to you before that we suspected that this might be a serial murder case..."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded silently, and the other party's analysis still made sense.
After all, he has now learned that a similar case occurred in Seoul, South Korea in the same year.
If it can be confirmed that it was committed by the same person, then it can be explained that Heicheng Xingjia is just one of the international serial murders!
Therefore, Pingcheng Xingjia's interpersonal relationship investigation no longer seems important!
And if this is the case, then the difficulty of solving this unsolved case will be greatly increased. The murderer will change countries after killing people, so how can this case be solved
"In that case..." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, do you know who knew the identity of the foreigner back then
"I'm thinking that even if the foreigner is not the murderer, he has a close relationship with Pingcheng Xinjia. Maybe he can provide some clues?"
“I’m afraid this will be difficult,” Sato said. “At that time, the only people who knew the identities of foreigners were the directors, department heads, the Prime Minister’s Office, and the Prime Minister himself!
"But most of these people are gone now. If you want to know the identity of that foreigner, I'm afraid... you have to ask the Prime Minister at the time, right?"
"Oh, okay!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you for the information you provided! I will continue to work hard to solve this case..."
"Okay," Sato got up from the sofa, came over and shook hands with Zhao Yu, "I also hope to see the murderer brought to justice in my lifetime..."
Um
At the moment of shaking hands, Zhao Yu suddenly discovered that Sato's fingers were not restless, and he actually took advantage of the handshake to make a few hard scratches on Zhao Yu's palm.
oh…
No way
Zhao Yu had a keen sense and immediately discovered Sato's abnormality. What he drew on the palm of his hand should be the English letter "S"!
S…
SOS
Could it be...
puff…
As a result, just before Zhao Yu let go, with a pop, blood burst out from Sato's head, and the dead body fell to the ground with a pop!
Holy shit!
Zhao Yu was shocked, and with a thought, he immediately put on the invisible body armor.
He looked up and saw that the shooter was none other than one of the bodyguards who had been standing behind the sofa!
how
how so
Zhao Yu glanced at Sato who was lying on the ground. He was obviously dead! Blood gurgled out, staining the tatami red...
Previously, Zhao Yu had discovered through invisible detectors that all the bodyguards in the house were wearing weapons.
Moreover, he also discovered some problems through Sato's evasive eyes and nervous speech.
However, he never thought about other aspects. He only thought that Sato had caused some trouble, or was being held hostage, or that he was about to carry out some important action.
But he never imagined that Sato would be killed by his men in an instant!
Judging from this, are these people not Sato's subordinates
Sure enough, after Sato was killed, the four bodyguards in the house immediately surrounded Zhao Yu and aimed their guns at Zhao Yu!
Zhao Yu was wearing a bulletproof vest, so of course he had the ability to immediately strike back.
However, the situation was so sudden, and out of the detective's curiosity, he still stood still.
The next second, the butler who had been standing far away, seemingly harmless, suddenly stepped in front of Zhao Yu.
I go…
The butler looked gloomy and turned into a devil in the blink of an eye!
"What... what's going on?" Zhao Yu asked in Japanese, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Yes, I also think that there is a big misunderstanding between us." Unexpectedly, when the butler opened his mouth, he spoke fluent Chinese. His eyes were like lightning, he stared at Zhao Yu and said four words, "Mr. Zhao Yu!!!"
have to…
Zhao Yu's heart sank. It was obvious that the other party was really coming for him!
I really didn’t expect that they would use this method. Isn’t it a bit too grand
However, Zhao Yu's heart is like a mirror. If the other party's purpose is just to kill him, then there is no need to wait for him and Sato to talk so much nonsense, he can do it as soon as he enters the house.
Therefore, now that I am still safe, I can take advantage of this opportunity to find out some information.
"Officer Yu, that's a pretty good name!" The housekeeper came to Zhao Yu, stared at Zhao Yu and said, "You are indeed a famous detective. You arrived a day or two earlier than we expected!
"We thought we would meet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes! Haha..." Zhao Yu laughed and said casually, "I thought you Yaksha were dead and we would never meet again!"
Whoa…
As soon as Zhao Yu said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and depressing, and everyone's faces changed color...
