What kind of person would be poisoned, strangled, and stabbed to death on the same night?
Qingmi Ruri had read hundreds of mystery novels and comics, and this was the first time she saw this way of death. She was shocked for a moment, and Takeshi Nanabahara was also very interested in it. After all, this kind of unlucky guy is really rare, so he took it out immediately.
He put on a pair of white gloves and looked closely. He even took out a small wooden stick from somewhere and carefully moved the deceased's tongue, looking at it very carefully.
Qingqing saw that Liuli was not carrying all the accessories like him, so he quickly found the forensics class Blue Hat who was taking pictures indoors and taking samples, asked for a pair of gloves to put on, and also came closer to help with the observation.
She was more polite than Takeshi Nanahara. She bowed to the deceased before taking a closer look. She found that there were many white blisters on both sides of the deceased's tongue and the inside of his lips. A few of them had festered and pus-filled. When Takeshi Nanahara turned them over, they were exuding a kind of pus.
...strange odor.
"Ugh..." Ying Wuxu originally wanted to follow and watch the excitement, but this was the first time he saw a corpse and he smelled the stench, so he immediately retched and went out.
Qingjian Liuli looked back at him and ignored him, and asked Nakano Eri in a low voice: "What kind of poison is this?"
Nakano Eri shook his head: "The poison test has not been done yet, and it is difficult to determine the real cause of death. The body will be sent to Sapporo for judicial autopsy, and the autopsy report will be issued together with it."
Qingjian Liuli nodded to express understanding.
The current situation of the deceased seems to be that he was assassinated by three people in turn while he was asleep. However, the real cause of death can only be determined through a legally valid autopsy report. Otherwise, even if the three murderers are found, it will not be clear in court.
Who killed him?
Takeshi Nanahara ignored the conversation between the two people and continued to cover his mouth and nose, carefully examining the body. Qingmi Ruri quickly followed him, but did not see anything strange.
The marks on the deceased's neck were visually inspected by pinching them directly with his hands. The murderer used such force that the deceased's tongue came out. However, the deceased's hands were clean and there were no signs of scratching or resistance. It was hard to say whether he was unconscious at the time.
Even if he could resist, he would still be dead when he was pinched.
The same goes for the arrow on the chest. The deceased was wearing pajamas, and there was an arrow deeply embedded in his chest. The shape was a bit like the one commonly used by samurai in the Dahe drama, but it didn't look like it was shot by a bow. The angle was wrong, and it looked more like it was shot by someone.
He squeezed it hard and stabbed it into the heart of the deceased, but the deceased did not bleed much. It is hard to say whether he was already dead at that time or the wound was too small to bleed.
Well, judging from the TV series, the arrow has to be pulled out before it can spurt out blood, otherwise it will just flow into the chest and abdomen, so that's probably it!
Nakano Eri had already looked at the body carefully, and the forensics class also provided some preliminary information. He introduced to them: "All the doors and windows of the villa have not been damaged, and no traces of outsiders have been found. No fingerprints or fingernails were found on the neck of the deceased.
No suspicious residue was found in the cracks. The same goes for the arrow on the chest, which has no fingerprints. It is currently speculated that it is an accessory of a decoration in the villa. The forensics department is looking for it and will see if there are any clues in other parts."
After a pause, she added, "According to current speculation, it is not like an outsider committed the crime."
Takeshi Nanahara nodded and walked around the room again, stroking his chin and thinking.
Nakano Eri saw that he had finished "sensing" the scene, and immediately asked: "How is it, Nanahara, have you found anything?"
Takeshi Nanahara did not answer, but asked: "The deceased was a famous lawyer, right? What was his name?"
Nakano Eri adjusted her glasses, glanced at the deceased lying on the bed with a slight headache, and said: "It's Barrister Kim Mansoo. He is a senior figure in Hirano's legal circle, and he is also quite famous in Sapporo. He has been mentored by him.
There are a lot of people, and I have good friends with many high-ranking officials and congressmen, so I am very energetic."
Takeshi Nanahara couldn't help but laugh and said: "No wonder you are so anxious."
Lawyers are not easy to deal with in the first place. Now that their senior lawyer is dead and there are still many people who owe him favors, the lawyers will definitely make a fuss. It will definitely be more violent than ordinary family members. If the case is not solved quickly, the police department will be in trouble.
One pot.
Nakano Eri did not deny it, and said softly: "It's Inspector Wuto who is worried, but he can't get away in Sapporo now, otherwise he will come here in person. Some people... don't want Jin Manxiu to attract too much attention, otherwise he will be
When reporters dig deeper, some bad things from the past may be uncovered, and Wooten Police is now under a lot of pressure."
Takeshi Nanahara understood. Jin Manxiu was very famous and well-connected. He probably provided legal support to many high-ranking officials, congressmen, and large companies. He might also have worked part-time as a broker, and had caused many cases of collusion between government and businessmen, and insider trading.
Now that he has been killed, many people are worried that reporters are meddling in and coming up with various conspiracy theories to speculate on the cause of his death. After further verification, they found that the conspiracy theories were true, which led to a large number of people being dragged into the water and trying to close the case quickly.
.
But Japan does whatever he wants, and it's none of his business if he likes collusion between government and businessmen. He just uses money to do things and finds the murderer. After all, Jin Manxiu's death is so strange that it is unlikely that it was done by an outsider.
Takeshi Nanahara ignored the topic and asked directly: "Have all the suspects been controlled?"
Nakano Eri turned around and gave instructions, asking someone to help her get the information and hand it to Takeshi Nanahara, "Everyone who was in this villa last night has agreed to assist in the investigation and is being questioned separately by Okuno and the others."
Takeshi Nanahara took the information and flipped through it, and found that the people who stayed in the villa last night were not complicated. There were only six people in total except the deceased.
The first one is named Aomi Koze, female, 30-year-old lawyer. She was the deceased’s assistant and student. She assisted the deceased in handling matters related to the law firm. By the way, he also served as the deceased’s personal lawyer, helping him handle some personal property matters.
affairs;
The second person is Asuka Nagaho, a 26-year-old female who is the deceased’s personal secretary. Her main job is to assist the deceased in writing his autobiography;
The third man, named Ginelli, was a 31-year-old male and was the deceased’s business assistant. He also assisted the deceased in handling related work in the law firm.
The above three people all lived in the side building of the villa. They only ate with the deceased, worked in the main building and did not sleep here.
The fourth one is Itano Rin, female, 50 years old, the housekeeper of the villa, and has served the deceased for many years;
The fifth is named Eiko Yasuda, female, 21 years old, and is a maid in the villa;
The sixth one is named Wenban Meiyi, 35 years old, and the cook of the villa.
The above three people all lived with the deceased in the main building of the villa, but the deceased lived on the second floor and the three of them lived on the first floor.
"Rich people..." Takeshi Nanabahara flipped through the list and kept these people in mind. He looked at the dumbfounded Tibetan fox and felt that his style was still not high enough. Compared with the famous barrister Jin Manxiu, he was still behind.
There are a lot of things - look at the other person, there are six people to serve him, and I only have one working fox. The gap is too big, I must work hard!
Well, when I run out of money in the future, I will find four maids, let them carry the sliding rod when I go out, and I will sit on it and gently shake the folding fan, and then I will be in style.
Five, maybe. Zanghu is an old employee after all. She has to work hard even if she doesn’t have any credit. She doesn’t need to lift the slider, she can just hold the sign in front of her saying "Mr. Nanabahara has arrived."
Takeshi Nanabahara thought for a moment about the decadent life of evil capitalism, and then said to Eri Nakano: "Then I will go meet these suspects first."
Barrister Jin Manxiu was also very successful. Three of the six people around him wanted to kill him.
Nakano Eri had no objection and just warned: "The body has to be sent to Sapporo for autopsy. The time will not be short, but it is best to solve the case before reporters notice it. Nanabahara, please take the trouble."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." No matter whether he is sure or not, Takeshi Nanahara always wants to reassure his employer first and answers without hesitation.
Nakano Eri was indeed relieved, and Takeshi Nanahara took Qingmi Ruri and went downstairs.
Qingjian Liuli followed him and asked curiously: "How are you going to check?"
"Check one by one." Takeshi Nanahara said with a nonchalant smile, "Find all three people who did it, and our work will be over. When the police autopsy report is obtained, whoever killed it will be killed, and
It doesn’t matter to us.”
Qing Jian Liuli had no objection, and at the same time, she secretly rubbed her hands and claws, preparing to show off her skills this time - the murderer was most likely to be among the six people who stayed in the villa last night, and she was good at choosing three out of the six!
Choose three out of six, just blind them, how can you hit one, right?
…………
The owner of the villa is dead, and the six suspects are currently in their rooms, being questioned by the criminal police in turns.
Hearing the voice, Takeshi Nanabaru opened a door, stretched his head and looked at the maid, and saw that her age should be Yasuda Eiko. He stood directly behind Hidakaji who was asking questions, looked at the transcript he took, and listened to it by the way.
What happened last night.
Hidakaji was an old acquaintance of Takeshi Nanabahara, so he ignored him and continued to ask questions. Eiko Yasuda was ordinary-looking, honest, cooperative, and answered all questions.
Yesterday, Jin Manxiu was away from home all day long and only came back at dinner time. There was nothing particularly noteworthy. At this point, Yasuda Eiko hesitated and added, "Sir, he seemed to be in a bad mood. During dinner,
He hardly spoke, and went directly upstairs after dinner, telling us not to disturb him."
Takeshi Nanahara interrupted and asked: "Who does Lawyer Jin Man usually have dinner with?"
Although Eiko Yasuda didn't know who he was, seeing him standing behind the detective, she still answered honestly: "Dine with Miss Koze, Miss Nagaho, and Gine-san."
Takeshi Nanahara nodded, and Hidakaji continued to ask: "What did you do after Lawyer Jin Man went upstairs?"
Yasuda Eiko carefully answered: "I cleared the table, and then I had dinner with Butler (housekeeper) Itono, Mii-san...that is, the chef Bunita Mii-san, and then we watched TV together in the lounge."
Hidakaji continued to ask: "Did anyone go to the second floor during this period?"
Yasuda Eiko affirmed: "No, we were together all the time. We didn't go back to the room to rest until my husband took a rest. After that, I didn't know. I was in my room and didn't hear any movement."
"Did you see anyone else going up to the second floor after dinner? For example, Miss Koze and the others?"
"No, Miss Koze and the others went back to the wing after dinner. I didn't see them coming back."
Rigao Si made a note of it in the record, and then asked: "Do you think there was anything abnormal between the time when Lawyer Jin Man came back and when he went to the second floor?"
Yasuda Eiko hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said: "Except that Mr. has been relatively silent, there is nothing else."
Her hesitation made Hidaka sense that something was wrong, and he immediately said in a low tone: "Ms. Yasuda, this is a formal inquiry from the police. Please don't hide anything."
Yasuda Eiko immediately said: "It's not a secret, but the matter has nothing to do with your husband. After cleaning up the kitchen, Sister Meiyi found that a bowl was missing. She thought I accidentally broke it and threw it away when I was washing the dishes, so she blamed me, but I
No dishes were broken, but Meiyi-san thought that Deacon Itono had broken them and secretly thrown them away while helping to clear the table, so she scolded her in the kitchen... and said a few words to her."
After a pause, she added in a low voice, "It's a very ordinary job. After saying a few words, Sister Meiyi stopped caring about it, and then the matter passed. It had nothing to do with Mr., so I..."
A bowl is missing?
This may be an important clue. Qing Jian Liuli wrote quickly and excerpted the key points, while Takeshi Qihara touched his chin and asked thoughtfully: "Before going to bed, Lawyer Jin Man didn't ask for anything to eat, and he didn't let you
Sending tea?"
Yasuda Eiko affirmed: "Yes, my husband prefers to be quiet. Unless he calls someone, we won't go up to the second floor. Usually if my husband wants to eat something, he will come down by himself. He never eats in the bedroom."
He never came down that night, but I heard him going to take a shower, about... nine o'clock in the evening."
"Thank you." Takeshi Nanahara nodded, thanked her for her cooperation, and then asked softly, "Miss Yasuda, was it you who killed Lawyer Jin Man?"
I haven't finished editing the next chapter, but I have to go to the hospital in a hurry, so I can only post it back, and I will correct the typos again. In addition, I would like to recommend a book "Three Kingdoms: What's the point of Zhang Xiu?"
If you are interested in the Three Kingdoms, you can give it a try.
