Chapter 178 The blind spot of concentration and vision
If you want your conjecture to be correct, you must use actual actions to prove it.
Fujiwara Yu has always been an action person. After coming to this conclusion, he ran to the entrance and took off the shoe covers on his feet, intending to walk towards the backyard. However, he did not expect to find the two uncles and aunts who loved to watch the fun as soon as he went out.
Still standing outside the cordon, the man in a red plaid shirt even waved to him.
He was slightly curious whether the two people were busy, but he still walked towards each other and asked patiently:
"Do you have any clues to provide? If not, please stay away from here and disturb the police. I will handle it according to law."
"Didn't I provide you with useful clues for the police? I saw with my own eyes that Chiyo returned home at 19:35, and the light in the living room turned on after returning home." The man in the red plaid shirt replied,
There was even a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, thinking that the police thought that he would violate order by providing eyewitness testimony.
"Are you Mr. Morita?" Fujiwara Yu had heard the detailed description of the incident in the living room before, so he naturally knew the identity of the gossip in front of him, but he still asked more questions to ensure that his identity was correct.
Morita Takuma straightened his back as if he was very proud. He gestured with his hands and explained:
"Yes, I am. I happened to be going out to the supermarket with my wife to do some shopping. The time is absolutely correct, so I can be sure that it is safe if Chiyo is still at home at 19:35."
"Thank you for the clues, then take my leave."
Fujiwara Yu didn't intend to chat with these two gossips. He put away his shoe covers and walked quickly towards the backyard. When he walked around to the backyard, he first noticed the flower bed diagonally below the balcony on the second floor.
The side of the flower bed is one meter high, and there are many camellias planted inside, including common light pink and red, and also uncommon yellow. The different colors are very harmonious together, but the most disharmonious part is probably near the wall.
There were obvious signs of being trampled on.
It doesn't take much careful observation. You can find it if you get close to the flower bed and look inside carefully. Therefore, the police dispatched from Juzhijie Police Station did not carefully inspect the entire house, otherwise they would not treat it as a runaway.
Fujiwara Yu looked up at the place where he was trampled, and found half a footprint on the outer edge of the balcony on the second floor, with a few brown soil particles stained on it. It seemed that his conjecture could be confirmed.
After putting on his shoe covers again, he stepped on the edge of the flower bed in the manner of a kidnapper. Using the sum of the one meter edge of the flower bed and his height, he could easily grab the railing of the second floor balcony at an altitude of almost three meters, using his waist with ease.
Arrive at the second floor balcony.
Otaki Goro, who rushed to the backyard, witnessed the whole process and shouted at a high volume:
"Tingji! Check the balcony door lock quickly to see if there are any signs of prying. If so, it can be investigated as a kidnapping instead of an ordinary disappearance!"
As an agent who often needs to sneak into the investigation, it doesn't take long for such a simple door lock to be easily picked. After Fujiwara Yu leaned down and noticed the large number of scratches on the door lock, he understood that the kidnapper should not be...
He was good at picking locks, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many traces around the door lock.
Speaking,,,edition.]
"The door lock has not only been picked, but there are also a lot of scratches on the outside. The kidnapper must have little experience."
When Fujiwara Yu opened the balcony door, he checked the surroundings for any other suspicious signs. Except for the presence of soil particles on the balcony table, no complete footprints were left. If the kidnapper wanted to return the same way and leave with Chiyo Tokui, he should
It's impossible.
That means that the kidnapper left the main entrance in an open and honest manner. He should be very familiar with the surrounding area and know that there are no surveillance cameras installed in the street, so the possibility of street residents committing crimes is extremely high.
Coming to this conclusion, he pushed open the door and walked into the master bedroom on the second floor connected to the balcony. After walking down the stairs, he noticed the blind spot in his field of vision. It seemed that the kidnapper should have used this to commit the crime.
Fujiwara Yu stood in the living room but found that Officer Otaki had not returned. When he walked to the entrance, he noticed that he was actually chatting with two gossiping neighbors. He frowned and stepped forward, leaned down and said in a helpless tone:
"Otaki-senpai, I plan to simulate a eucalyptus hair process. Can you cooperate with me?"
"Huh? Okay, let's go then."
Fujiwara Yu did not leave directly, but raised the yellow warning line. It was not clear from his expression why he said this:
"You two are also considered witnesses to this case. Come in together. Aren't you very interested in the case?"
"Is it really okay? You won't put us on the list of suspects, will you?" As a neighbor who lives alone, Akimoto Miharu is quite cautious. She doesn't want to be arrested just for watching the fun. She is listening to gossip.
I heard that some police officers will use illegal means to intimidate innocent suspects and forcefully extract confessions for the sake of performance.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Naturally, Fujiwara Yu will not tell what is in his heart. You must know that he has included the residents of the entire street on the suspect list. Now there are exactly two here. It may be helpful to observe the changes in their expressions at close range.
Detection of cases.
After everyone gathered in the living room, Fujiwara Yu told Otaki Goro to just sit on the sofa, hold the remote control and watch TV, and there was no need to prepare anything else. He picked up Officer Otaki's cell phone and put it on the coffee table.
After dialing your own number, the hands-free mode is turned on directly.
After completing this operation, he disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only his voice.
"After the murderer saw that Chiyo Tokui was the only one who returned to his family, he directly used the height of the edge of the flower bed in the backyard to easily climb to the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor. You can see the door lock I placed on the table. I unlocked it from the balcony door.
It was disassembled and there were very obvious signs of lock picking on it.”
Everyone, including Otaki Goro, focused their attention on the balcony door lock on the coffee table in the living room. Even a layman could clearly see several scratches on the outside of the door lock. It was probably the kidnapper's first crime.
I was nervous, otherwise my hands wouldn't be shaking so much that I couldn't align the keyhole and leave so many marks.
The unhurried voice of Sosuke Takaji came from the phone, and you could even hear the creaking sound of the door being pushed:
"The prisoner entered the bedroom on the second floor along the balcony and began to implement his criminal plan..."
Everyone in the living room gathered in front of their mobile phones to hear what Sosuke Takaji said about his next crime plan, but they found that the second half of the sentence was not heard. Just when they were confused, a hand suddenly reached out from behind.
, covering Otaki Goro's mouth.
"Well!
"
"What, what's going on?!"
Takaji Sousuke, who should have been still in the bedroom on the second floor, suddenly appeared behind everyone, and they didn't even notice it.
Fujiwara Yu calmly released his left hand covering Officer Otaki's mouth, pressed the hangup button on his phone, and explained:
"I actually didn't cover up my footsteps on purpose. It's just that the TV was very loud and you were all focused on your phones, so you couldn't even notice me approaching quietly."
He returned to the stairs and looked at Tokui Seiji, the father of the missing person, and said:
"Mr. Tokui, please sit on the sofa."
"Hey? Okay."
After Tokui Seiji sat on the sofa, Fujiwara Yu asked again:
"Then Mr. Tokui, please sit on the sofa and twist your body as you like. Can you see me standing at the top of the stairs?"
Tokui Seiji's efforts to twist his body were to no avail. He found that the entrance to the stairs was a blind spot, and he could not see at all. Combined with Officer Takaji's previous reminder, as a senior executive of a large company, he naturally understood the meaning of the officer's words.
His expression did not change and he said:
"...Officer Eagle Division, is this how the kidnapper took my daughter away?"
