Qingdeng rummaged through the lockers in the living room for a while, and finally found another thing in the corner of the drawer at the bottom that could strongly prove his previous conjecture - a few squid placed in the corner of the drawer.
Candle.
After staring at the candles for a while, Qingdeng closed the drawer, walked slowly back to Grandma Ping's body, and inspected the body again.
"Did the criminal cover the victim's mouth with one hand and hold a knife with the other hand to commit the murder..." Qingdeng looked carefully at the scratches on Granny Ping's mouth.
Granny Ping's mouth, which was covered in blood and slightly open, was covered with traces of pressing and scratching with fingernails.
The marks of pressure were obviously left by the criminal covering Granny Ping's mouth with his hand to prevent her from screaming.
As for those scratches, they should have been left by Granny Ping when she struggled to push away the criminal's palm that was holding her mouth.
——Scratch marks...
Qingdeng turned his gaze to Granny Ping's hands and fingers, thoughtfully...
Wow...
The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted Qingdeng's observations and thoughts.
After realizing that someone had come in, and that more than one person had come in, Qingden raised his eyebrows.
He got up and left the living room where Granny Ping died. As soon as he stepped onto the corridor outside the living room, he saw five figures approaching him.
Among the five people, the one walking in the front, like Qingdeng, was dressed in a concentric manner.
The leader of the five figures looking at them has slightly thin lips and is about 1.6 meters tall. He is much shorter than Qingden, but compared to other people of this era, he is also much taller.
Qingdeng's brows immediately frowned slightly: "Xi Ye..."
"Orange." The young man raised his head slightly and looked at Qingdeng through his nostrils, "What are you doing here?"
Nishino Hosejiro——the name of this Tongxin.
The name Nishino Hosejiro is well-known in Hokkaido. Like Aoto, he is a celebrity in Hokkaido - but the direction of his fame is completely opposite.
This sentence is perfect to describe him - Beibansuo's "three times" trump card!
Regarding the "Arima-gumi" and "Tōjo-gumi" in the Hokkaido town, which group has better case-handling abilities and more impressive political achievements? There is a generally accepted conclusion among all the members of the All-Hokuban-gumi: "The Tojo-gumi"
"'s political performance is far better than that of the "Arima Group".
The reason why such a conclusion exists is that, in addition to part of the reason being that the "Arima Group" has "Dakutou" holding it back, the main reason is because the "Tōjo Group" has Nishino in charge.
If anyone is said to have the strongest case-handling ability in the Northern Bureau... then it must be Nishino - most of the officials in the Northern Bureau would probably say so.
Since joining Kitabansho Chokai 3 years ago, Nishino has always demonstrated extremely strong work ability.
Countless big and difficult cases that were difficult for others to handle were immediately solved by Nishino.
In addition to his amazing work ability, his swordsmanship is also very good.
When Beichen Itto-ryu evaluates the level of each disciple, it uses three levels: "paper cutting", "catalog" and "exemption".
At a young age, Nishino obtained the Level 2: Catalog qualification of Beichen Itto-ryu.
Many people have concluded that if it weren't for the fact that Nishino, who is only 25 years old this year, is still too young and has little qualifications, he would have been promoted temporarily.
"This area is one of the jurisdictions I am responsible for." Qingdeng said, "There was a murder in the jurisdiction I was responsible for. I went to the place where the crime occurred to check the situation. Is there any problem?"
"...That's it, then you probably didn't mess with anything at the crime scene or damage the crime scene, right?" Nishino's expression and tone were still full of indifference.
Qingdeng: "I haven't touched anything that I shouldn't have touched."
"That's good. I believe you did not damage the crime scene."
"Okay, you can go out now." Nishino pursed his lips toward the door behind him, "Master Boi has asked me to take full charge of this case."
"No one else, please don't go near the crime scene without my permission."
"Get out quickly."
"Since this area is under your jurisdiction, then you can go outside to maintain order and help disperse those who come to watch the excitement."
"Even a person like you should be able to do the job of maintaining order, right?"
When he said the words "people like you", Nishino specially emphasized his tone.
"Anyway, don't make trouble, just cause trouble for me."
In his previous life, there was a very famous science fiction novel: "The Three-Body Problem". Although Qingden had not read it, he knew a famous saying in it - the greatest respect for civilization in the universe is to kill it all, and the greatest contempt is to ignore it.
Qingdeng has always felt that this sentence is also applicable to interactions between people.
What is the greatest contempt between people? Is it talking rubbish to each other? Is it putting on a mocking face and using all possible sarcasm to get rid of it?
neither.
The greatest contempt between people is the same as the greatest contempt between civilizations - they are ignored, not even bothering to look at them.
Nishino has this kind of attitude towards Qingnobu now.
He didn't speak to Qingden in a sarcastic tone.
He didn't put on any shaky expression either.
But anyone can feel the extremely explicit contempt for Qingto from Nishino's words.
Judging from the level, he and Qingnobo are just of the same level, and they are both sympathizers with the Sadachi Hui. Apart from asking Qingnobo to leave the place where the crime occurred, he has no authority to order Qingnobo to do anything, but he did
With the arrogant tone of a superior, he ordered Qingdeng to go outside to help him maintain order among the people outside the house.
With a look that didn't even look at Qingdeng, and didn't even want to say another word to Qingdeng, with a condescending attitude, Qingdeng quickly disappeared from his eyes.
Feeling the obvious contempt for him shown in Nishino's words and gestures, Qingden frowned slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his heart.
But as soon as these traces of dissatisfaction surfaced, Qingdeng suppressed them immediately.
Nishino was the co-worker sent by Hsui to take charge of the case. Now that he has arrived at the place where the crime occurred, Aomori no longer has any reason to stay here.
Nishino is undoubtedly the biggest person in the area where the crime occurred. If he had a conflict with him here, even if it was just a verbal conflict, Qingto would be unreasonable and would be impeached.
There was no response from Nishino - Qingden silently passed by Nishino and walked towards the door.
Nishino ignored Qingteng and didn't even look at Qingteng. After passing by Qingteng, he led his Okabiki and strode into the living room where Granny Ping died.
As soon as he left Granny Ping's house, Qingdeng saw Gray Dalang.
When Hui Dalang saw Qingdeng, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a formulaic smile and faced Qingdeng.
"Ah, Master Tachibana! You're out!"
Facing Qingdeng, Hui Dalang behaved as usual - one thing on the surface but another in his heart.
--hehe……
Hui Dalang kept laughing mockingly in his heart.
——You idiot...you wandered into the scene of the crime and were driven out by Nishino-sama.
When Hui Dalang was madly mocking Qingdeng in his heart, he suddenly heard Qingdeng calling him:
"Hui Dalang."
"Huh? Yes."
Although Tongxin, who was assigned to take charge of the case, arrived earlier than he thought... but fortunately - he had collected enough clues at the place where the crime occurred.
Qingdeng said slowly and calmly:
"Hui Dalang, can you help me call Granny Ping's neighbors, relatives and friends? I have a new question to ask them."
"If we're lucky, we might be able to catch the criminal soon."
"The criminal...?!" Hui Dalang's eyes widened and he looked at Qingden in disbelief. Then he subconsciously asked quickly, "Master Ju, do you already know who the criminal is?"
"If my conjecture is correct... the criminal is a male. Most of Granny Ping died of love murder. The criminal came to Granny Ping's house last night. After chatting with Granny Ping for a long time, he expressed his love to Granny Ping, but was met with
Granny Ping refused, so he got angry and took out a sharp knife to commit the crime. However, he was not very good at using the knife and only stabbed Granny Ping in one vital part. The criminal was a very close friend of Granny Ping, maybe they were childhood sweethearts or something like that.
, there should still be traces of being scratched by Granny Ping on the back of one of his hands."
"Love...kill...?" Hui Dalang's mouth opened in an "O" shape, and his expression became dull due to shock.
