Seto Rei flicked the ashes of his cigarette and recalled his impression of Natsuki Koda, "He looks very ordinary, a little bow-legged, and his chest is a little small... I mean, this may be related to the imbalance of abnormal hormone secretion caused by childhood leukemia, so he later developed

Bad, what do you think?"

Kaede Kamio was silent for a while, and said a little discouraged: "I want to ask you, when Natsuki Koda wiped his tears and cried in confusion, did you notice anything abnormal? Aren't you Dr. Brusher? You didn't use any micro-expressions

, detect abnormalities in small movements?”

"You have a hole in your head, don't you suspect that girl is pretending to cry? Can she cry so hard that she almost loses her breath? Then I am convinced, this is more professional than those acting students from the Film and Television University. Don't be suspicious, right?

What did you see? Why didn't you expose her on the spot?"

"I didn't notice it either." Kaede Kamio shook his head, and quickly added before Seto Rei had an attack, "It just feels weird, unspeakably uncomfortable."

Seto Rei glanced at the text message on his cell phone, put out the butt of Qixing Cigarette, and took out the car keys, "Come on, you are a typical judge of people based on their appearance. You think people are not good-looking, so you are biased and make them cry.

I’m not feeling well either. Stop thinking so wildly. The master has asked us to go back for a meeting. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

"According to the adoption records of the orphanage, it was indeed the first time for Fumi Koda and his wife to come to the orphanage. They said they were introduced by a friend. They fell in love with Natsuki Koda at first sight, and then went through the adoption procedures, but unfortunately they failed.

Within a few years, the child developed leukemia."

Okudera reported the results of his investigation in the independent conference room of the Criminal Division, and continued: "Through interviews with the old director of the welfare home and several employees at that time, plus interviews with two people who are about the same age as Natsuki Koda

For families of adopted children, it is basically certain that there is no possibility of the so-called illegitimate child of one party."

After Okudera finished speaking, it was Hino Satoshi's turn to report the situation, "Kitamura Police Department, the insurance company association called me back this morning, saying that Yamamoto Nanae did not purchase any commercial insurance or any policy during his lifetime.

The beneficiary is shown to be Fumi Koda.

Several major insurance companies in Tokyo are already in the association. If there are any omissions, it can only be from small insurance companies. But in that case, the amount of claims won't be large, and Fumi Koda cannot afford to take risks."

"Do you have any clues on the map of Sakata Town? What was it like there in 2006?" Kitamura Yuki asked.

"In addition to the main road, that area is the construction site. I transferred to several units, and the maps I found were too general and did not specify a certain area. They were not as good as the hand-drawn missing files in the case files handed over by the police station.

Where’s the on-site map?”

"What's the result of the visit? In 2016, who were the people who often passed by Sakata Road?"

Seto Rei opened his notebook and took a look, "Mainly workers at the construction site, and some residents like Yamamoto Nanae who took the main road home. Students from nearby universities would also go there to take the tram. At that time, Ginza Station was a large

At the station, many lines have to transfer there..."

After a pause, he added: "It's just that at that time, it was almost midnight, and Sakata Road was already deserted, so no witnesses have been found yet."

Kitamura tapped his index finger on the table and frowned: "So, there is still no clue to this case. Tell me, what was the murderer's motive for murdering Yamamoto Nanae? Was it a murder of passion or a premeditated murder?"

A crime of passion, as the name suggests, means that the murderer committed the crime out of temporary anger. The murderer did not originally intend to kill, but lost his mind under the stimulation of the victim and killed others in a non-subjective emotion.

kill.

Premeditated murder refers to a premeditated and prepared murder, which includes crimes with antisocial emotions, crimes in a state of frustration, crimes in a negative mood, indiscriminate crimes, etc.

Several people looked at each other, and Seto Rei raised his hand and spoke: "From the excavation site, the banknotes, necklaces, and rings on the deceased can be ruled out as murder.

Since the murderer was not motivated by money, he either vented his anger or was motivated by sex. However, judging from the damage to the skeleton, the deceased did not suffer much torture during his lifetime. I think vendetta can be ruled out and the motive of the crime can be transferred to infringement.

"

Kaede Kamio questioned: "Maybe the murderer has some other hobbies? Or maybe he is a serial killer who doesn't want anything but wants to satisfy his perverted desires, right?"

Seto Rei was choked and speechless.

Hino Satoshi said: "Judging from the current investigation, Yamamoto Nanae has an easy-going personality. She has never had any grudges with colleagues or neighbors, and she has not heard of any enemies. It should not be a vendetta. Even if it is suspected to be a surname violation, based on the

With today’s technology, it’s impossible to inspect a pile of bones for damage…”

Kitamura Police Department asked Kamio Kaede, "Were any fingerprints extracted from the relics?"

Kaede Kamio shook his head, "If there were fingerprints, the news would have been revealed the same day the bones were found, and the investigation would not have been carried out until now."

Hino Satoshi was a little discouraged and said: "Looking at it this way, this case is completely a death case. In the past ten years, the motive of the crime is unknown, there are no evidences, there are no witnesses, and an autopsy is even impossible. It has been completely in vain..."

Okudera was a little unhappy, "What, you want to give in? It's not normal for the case to encounter setbacks. Let's just find a way to overcome it. And you don't know the significance of this case to the master, how can you say you are so frustrated?"

talk!"

Hino Satoshi shook his head, "It's not that I'm shrinking, it's that there's no evidence in this case. How can we investigate it? Even if the murderer himself jumps out and admits the crime, we can't convict him without evidence. If we send it to the prosecutor's office, the case will be complete."

Come back in full."

Seto Rei interjected: "No matter what, we have to give an explanation to the family, right? We are the police, and the police's duty is to catch the murderer. Even if we give up, who can the people trust? And I promised that girl

, I will catch the murderer of her mother, I don’t want to break my promise.”

Kaede Kamio, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "This case was only treated as a disappearance case back then, so the investigation may not be in place. We can investigate the points that were missed before.

Let Fumi Koda and Natsuki Koda go temporarily. The father and daughter have been investigated six or seven times. Let’s try to investigate Yoshina Yamamoto again. Although a house is not worth much, the gap between the risk cost and the proceeds of crime is too big.

Big, but not impossible.

In addition, check the unsolved cases from 2006 to see if any of the victims were women, walking alone at night, with similar conditions to Yamamoto Nanae. At that time, Koda Fumi often picked up his wife from get off work, except for the affection in the eyes of outsiders. , I’m afraid there are safety considerations, maybe the person who killed Nanae Yamamoto was a serial criminal who was not greedy for money.”

He suspected that this might be a serial sandman with an assassin-type personality who liked to stalk his victims at night.

After saying that, Kamio Kaede looked at Seto Rei and asked: "You are a doctor who has drank foreign ink. Don't you call yourself Brusher? What do you think of the real murderer?"

"According to the results of the skeletal examination, the murderer should be a male, between 1.8 and 1.9 meters tall... His age is not easy to determine, but he could be between 20 and 50 years old. He should have been working near Bantian Road at that time.

Or live, but I prefer to work. In addition, Nanae Yamamoto is often taken home by her husband in person. Asking people at nearby construction sites at that time, they should know the couple, maybe it will be helpful.

But it is extremely difficult to investigate, especially for construction site workers, who are extremely mobile, and after so many years, I don’t know if the roster is still there. I don’t mean to be depressing, this is indeed the case... there is no scene, no blood stains

, no murder weapon, no fingerprints, no DNA, we have almost nothing except the bones of the deceased."

Okudera didn't want to give up, he pleaded: "Is there really nothing else?"

He looked at Seto Rei, Hino Satoshi, and Kamio Kaede. He knew that this case was almost impossible to solve, but he still hoped for a miracle.

Seto Rei said: "There are very few clues now, and profiling must be based on a large amount of evidence. Even if I tell you now that criminals are strong and tall, there are too many who meet the conditions;

I said that the criminal may have committed bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty when he was a child. Will this help solve the case? I said that the criminal has a cowardly and narrow-minded character. This is also a wild guess and is of no use at all.

We now know nothing and have nothing!”

Okudera finally lowered his head and stopped talking. There was a dead silence in the conference room.
