If he was simply asked for money, then the motive for murder may not be strong enough.
But if you are being plotted and then turned against and humiliated by the other party.
This kind of humiliation and coercion in desperate situations makes people instantly swallowed up by anger, leading him to kill people. That is really normal.
If after that, Minamada Yuichi had been waiting in the office for Katsugoro Kitamura to return to the office, and killed him in a sneak attack, that would be completely logical.
but...
Yes, there will definitely be a "but" when the matter comes to this. After all, if there was no "but", the case would have been solved long ago, and they would not be running around now.
After Sato Miwako questioned Minamida Yuichi about this matter, she did not expect that the other party first admitted that Kitamura Katsugoro had indeed dealt with the factory machine failure and returned to the office.
This time is only about half an hour.
But according to what he said, he just started negotiating with Katsugoro Kitamura again after that.
I probably kept begging him until about six o'clock in the evening, but Katsugoro Kitamura finally kicked him out because he was really impatient.
When the police asked who could prove this, the other party calmly shook his head and said that no one could prove it.
It means that everything is just his words.
Now the situation was deadlocked again.
Although the situation and evidence are complete, whether it is time, motive and other factors, it is possible to identify Minamada Yuichi as a criminal suspect, but there is no physical evidence that can conclusively identify him.
Naturally, such a stalemate is not allowed by the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, the other party is not officially arrested yet, but can only be regarded as voluntarily cooperating with the investigation. After all, all the evidence currently available is situational evidence.
Therefore, if evidence cannot be found to apply for an arrest warrant within this period of time, then Yuichi Minamada must be released.
And letting a major suspect go is something they will never allow.
However, with the investigation of the Forensic Section, an autopsy report actually helped Minanda Yuichi's innocence, which is why Takagi returned here again today.
Regarding this point, Takagi had already discussed this key problem with Karasawa when they were in the car.
The problem is the height difference between the victims Katsugoro Kitamura and Yuichi Minamada.
The height of the victim, Katsugoro Kitamura, was 166 centimeters.
Minamida Yuichi’s height is 186 cm.
In other words, Yuichi Minamada was a full twenty centimeters taller than the victim, Katsugoro Kitamura.
And here comes the key question.
Generally speaking, if a tall person wants to use a weapon such as a dagger to stab someone shorter than him, the angle of holding the knife should be diagonally from up to down.
On the contrary, if a shorter person stabs a taller person, the angle of holding the knife will be from top to bottom.
However, after examining the body in the Forensics Department, it was discovered that the angle of the knife wound that penetrated the chest of the victim Kitamura Katsugoro was from bottom to top!
The emergence of this situation immediately reversed the situation, which meant that all their previous conclusions were instantly overturned.
Because Minamada Yuichi, who was taller than the victim Katsugoro Kitamura, could not have committed this crime.
In addition, the Forensic Section staff compared the angle of the wound to estimate the murderer's height and found that the prisoner's height should be around 110 centimeters.
It is only 110 centimeters. If it is not an elementary school student, it can only be a special group of people suffering from dwarfism.
Of course, both of these should be unlikely, after all, neither of these existed around the deceased Katsugoro Kitamura at all.
This contradiction between evidence and reasoning naturally caused headaches for all criminals.
But after all, Takagi followed Karasawa to handle many difficult cases, learned a lot, and quickly came up with various possibilities.
The first is to let the deceased stand on a high place when there are high and low places. If Kitamura Katsugoro kills Kitamura Katsugoro from below, it is still possible to complete this technique.
It's just that this speculation is very good, but the reality is a bit cruel.
Because the crime scene was a bungalow, there were no high or low points such as stairs. At the same time, after inspection, Kitamura Katsugoro's body also showed signs of being moved.
Of course, excluding this possibility, it is also possible that Yuichi Minamada took advantage of Katsugoro Kitamura not paying attention and squatted down to sneak attack on the opponent, thereby creating wounds from the bottom up.
This is equally possible, and does not depend on geographical location.
However, this was also rejected in the end.
Because the wounds on the body of the deceased indicated that Kitamura Katsugoro was stabbed in the heart from the front and died, it was unlikely that he was assassinated by a sneak attack.
And don't forget, Minamida Yuichi's right foot was injured and fixed in a plaster. He has limited mobility and the failure rate of trying to attack the opponent head-on is too high.
As for the foot injury, they also went to the Mihua Hospital where Minamida Yuichi was treated and confirmed with the other party's attending doctor that the other party's right foot was indeed injured.
In addition, the deceased Katsugoro Kitamura also studied judo, and his level was not low, and he even won the tenth championship in a certain competition.
His skill also ensured that he would not be easily threatened by Yuichi Minamida and be forced to follow Yuichi Minamada's orders and go to high places.
Even though Kitamura Katsugoro is so much lower than him, he is much stronger than Minamada Yuichi physically.
Various ideas were put forward by them, and finally they were eliminated. In the end, Takagi and others discovered that the information from the "height difference" found on the corpse turned out to be information beneficial to the suspect.
In fact, after listening to Takagi's description of the case in the car, he had basically identified the prisoner as Minamada Yuichi.
After all, there wasn't even a situation of choosing one of the three, and the suspect was directly identified, so what else is there to say?
Not only that, but there is also such an obvious "trick" to get out of crime, it's just like having the words "I am a criminal" written on his face.
But just like the difficulties faced by Takagi and others, sometimes just because you know, doesn't mean you can do it.
The other party is using tricks to gain confidence, so Tangze must find a way to break the other party's tactics.
Thinking of this, Tangze looked around the crime scene, then looked at Takagi and said: "By the way, Takagi Criminal, I don't know if there are any photos of the scene. I want to see what the body looked like when it was at the scene."
"Ah, I have one here." As a dedicated person, Takagi nodded after hearing Karasawa's words, and immediately took out three photos from the inner pocket of his suit.
Two of the three photos were personal ID photos of Kitamura Katsugoro and Minamida Yuichi, which were obviously brought by Takagi for questioning.
As for the third photo, it is of the crime scene.
However, when Karasawa took the photo and saw the body of Kitamura Katsugoro, his eyes could not help but freeze.
