After Fujiwara Yu raised his watch to confirm the time when he found the second suitcase, he leaned down to check the body parts contained inside. This time, in addition to the body parts, there was a ten kilogram dumbbell. It should be the luggage that the murderer wanted.
The box was put in after the stone had sunk into the sea without being discovered by others.
The brand and size of the suitcase are the same as the first suitcase, so it is basically certain that the person who dumped the body is the same person.
Fujiwara Yu slightly adjusted the mask. After all, the corpse in front of him was wrapped in plastic wrap, and the smell was heavier than the last suitcase. He tore open the layers of plastic wrap, leaned over and carefully looked at the cut surface of the wound, and found that it was very uneven.
.
It's not like the marks of using an electric saw, but the wounds caused by repeated cuts by the blade.
He reached out and rummaged through the suitcase for a while, even in the compartments. After confirming that there was no identification document proving the victim's identity, he closed the suitcase again and stood up to put on a new pair of gloves.
At this time, Usho Tsuda had finished recording the first witness's statement, and he did not forget to ask a nearby staff member for a cup of hot tea to comfort the frightened sanitation workers.
After all, as a policeman, Tsuda Youxiang encountered a corpse for the first time. His stomach felt a little nauseated after smelling the smell of **, let alone ordinary citizens... I guess this sanitation worker will not
Want to eat meat food.
When Tsuda Usho walked next to Takaji Sousuke, he smelled the corpse smell on his body. He held his breath as much as possible and speeded up his speaking speed to complete the reporting task:
"Police department, according to the sanitation worker's confession, she was about to sit on the bench over there to rest around 10:30 when she found a suitcase floating on the sea. She thought the suitcase was pretty good and she might still be able to use it after she picked it up.
I used a garbage net to get it to the shore and bring it up."
"Ten thirty? That's only two hours since the last suitcase was found."
Fujiwara Yu held his chin and thought for a while. He asked the park staff for a map of Chiba Prefecture. After circling the locations where the two suitcases were found, he found that the places where the bodies were dumped were all around the Uhara coast.
The remaining suitcase that may contain the head should also be in the sea near here.
After coming to this conclusion, Fujiwara Yu immediately called Officer Ando and asked him to contact the Coast Guard to carry out salvage work in the waters near the Uhara coast, so that it would be possible to harvest the third suitcase.
Under the command of everyone, the salvage work on the Uhara coast was carried out in an orderly manner. With the assistance of the coast police and nearby fishermen, the same suitcase was successfully recovered from the waters near Matsube Fishing Port.
It was lunch time, and the coast guard frowned and dragged the suitcase soaked in seawater to the shore. After hearing the news, a group of reporters who rushed to the scene stood outside the yellow warning line, holding up their cameras in an attempt to get the first report.
right.
Seeing this scene, Fujiwara Yu had no choice but to use his body to block the camera. At least people gathered around the suitcase to prevent these reporters from taking pictures of the victim's body.
The zipper of the suitcase was opened, and the faces of several coast guards who had just finished lunch turned ugly after smelling the smell of **. They suppressed the discomfort in their stomachs and straightened their backs to gather around the luggage.
next to the box.
The suitcase contained body parts wrapped in black plastic bags. This time, we could finally see the body parts above the waist. Together with the body parts from the other two suitcases, they could be assembled into a complete body.
Usho Tsuda looked solemnly at the pieced-together female body. After seeing the giant-looking head that had been soaked in sea water for a long time, he couldn't help but ran to a nearby tree and vomited. He didn't eat much in the first place.
During breakfast, he almost vomited out bile.
I don’t know if vomiting can be transmitted from person to person. After hearing the sound of Tsuda Usho’s vomiting, several Coast Guardsmen, who were already unhappy, couldn’t help but feel their stomachs churning, and they all started to vomit while holding on to a tree.
Fujiwara Yu quickly covered the body with a white cloth to ensure that the body without the human wall would not be photographed by reporters. He turned to look at the reporters who originally held their cameras high and looked ugly after seeing this scene. He moved his body
Lifting a corner of the white cloth, he tried to find useful clues on her body.
There were no pre-mortem injuries on the body before, but this time there was a 15 cm long incision on the front of the neck, which was cut directly from the carotid triangle and even the hyoid bone was cut open.
As long as the force of the throat slit is controlled, the possibility of a fatal blow is extremely high. It seems that the murderer should have used some method in advance to make the victim into a state where she could not resist, and then deprived her of her life cleanly.
Could it be an acquaintance? It would be difficult for a stranger to do this.
Fujiwara Yu's eyes fell on the victim's swollen and shapeless facial injuries. It was no longer possible to identify the victim through his face, and he did not have any documents to prove his identity. It was very uncomfortable to feel that the progress of the case had stalled.
.
"Um?"
He suddenly discovered that there were two less obvious hairs on the ruffled sleeves. Since the color of the dress was bright yellow, the two golden hairs were about five centimeters in length. Judging from the texture, they did not look like human hairs.
Animal hair? This was Fujiwara Yu's first reaction.
He re-checked somewhere in the suitcase and found that no other hairs could be found, which meant that the two animal hairs most likely came from the eucalyptus discovery site... The murderer may be engaged in an animal-related occupation, or may have pets at home.
After getting this inference, Fujiwara Yu covered the white cloth again, walked to Tsuda Usho who was vomiting to the point of bile, and said:
"Tsuda, can you hold on for a while? I want you to come with me to investigate the recently missing people."
"I can do it, I've already vomited it up." Tsuda Youxiang replied a little weakly. He felt that he had a shadow on meat during this period. He originally invited friends to eat roasted pork tonight, but now that he thinks about it, he might as well refuse.
The two drove to the Chiba Prefecture Police Station, and with the assistance of the local police, they retrieved the recently missing persons and found that there was a woman who disappeared a week ago whose clothing matched the victim's.
The light yellow dress with ruffled sleeves and the brand's brooch were both in line with the victim's attire.
Usho Tsuda leaned in front of the computer screen, looked at the missing person's report information, and murmured:
"Hasegawa Yuka, 39 years old, is a full-time housewife and lives in Miyayama Town, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture. The police department and Miyayama Town are not far from the three corpse dumping sites. If there is no traffic jam, it will take less than an hour.
Able to arrive.”
"Well, who was the person who reported her missing? Is it her family?"
"There were two reporters. The first one was a man named Takashi Fujita, who was two years younger than the victim and was a pet shop owner. The other reporter was Shinya Hasegawa.
, claimed to be the victim’s husband, and there were two full days between the two reporting the incident.”
Hearing this, Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but feel strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't the first person to report the case be the victim's husband? Why would an unrelated man notice that the victim was missing before the husband did?
And the most important thing is - this man's occupation is the owner of a pet shop. Maybe it has something to do with the two animal hairs. He feels that it is necessary to meet this man named Fujita Takashi.
