It was already the next morning when he walked out of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters. Fujiwara Yu looked at the rising sun. He only felt that the dark circles under his eyes were getting thicker. If he worked harder, he might be able to go to the zoo to COS Panda.
He rubbed his temples tiredly and heard footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he realized that it was Ayanokouji Fumimaro who was in charge of taking over the case.
Speaking of which, this police officer is also very famous in Kyoto Prefecture, simply because he comes from an official family and has the nickname "Aristocratic Police Department".
But for Fujiwara Yu, the most profound impact was not his family background, but the spotted squirrel that was inseparable from this guy. It was the first time he saw a policeman taking a pet with him.
Fumimaro Ayanokouji smiled and adjusted his tie. He still had a relatively high impression of Sosuke Takaji, at least much more favorably than the man who worked at the Metropolitan Police Department at the same time.
After noticing the dark circles under the other person's eyes, he took the initiative to hand out the unopened can of coffee and said loudly:
"Officer Eagle, would you like some coffee? I'm afraid you won't be able to go back and have a good rest today."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Fujiwara Yu paused slightly as he took the can of coffee, and he asked doubtfully.
"It seems that the Metropolitan Police hasn't notified you yet. Just go back and ask. I have something to do here, so I'll leave first."
Fujiwara Yu stared at Ayanokouji Fumimaro's leaving back with half-moon eyes, and felt a little puzzled: Can't you finish your words before leaving? As expected, his character is really elusive as rumored.
Miyano Akemi, who was standing aside, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. She naturally held Fujiwara's arm and said with a smile:
"Let's go and take a nap on the way back. Aren't you going to investigate the case from ten years ago?"
"Well, I hope we can find out as soon as possible. After all, I promised that guy to catch the murderer."
Dragging his tired body back to Tokyo by Shinkansen, although he slept for a while during the journey, his mental state did not return to normal. After another can of coffee, Fujiwara Yu felt that he had the energy to investigate the case, so as not to
The brain shuts down.
It is not an easy matter to restart the investigation of a cold case ten years ago. He returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and immediately retrieved the cold case files compiled by Special Investigation 7, and soon found the file report on the murder of Sayuki Saegusa.
The crime took place on the lawn next to the bridge over the Muzugao River in Mikka Town. According to the file, Sayuki Saegusa was killed by an arrow through the heart. In addition to the fatal injuries, only the skin was broken on her knees. It should have been during the escape process.
Traces left by a fall.
Judging from the autopsy report, the murderer probably stood behind Sayuki Saegusa and shot the arrow. It was able to aim at the heart of the moving target, which proves that the murderer had a certain level of archery. Ordinary people would never be able to achieve such accuracy.
The angle at which the arrow shot into the heart also shows that the murderer is much taller than the victim. Judging from the height, the murderer is more likely to be a male.
Datehang, who came back from outside, was a little surprised when he saw Fujiwara Yu's back. Isn't this guy in Kyoto? He ran back so quickly.
He walked up and slapped the other person on the back, and asked with a smile:
"Hey, why are you reading the files there when you come back? Is that a live-action script that's fun to kill?"
Fujiwara Yu, who was concentrating on the file, was so frightened by Datehang's slap that he had no time to raise his head and continued to stare at the contents of the file, with a trace of helplessness in his tone:
"Brother Hang, do you think working overtime is a fun thing?"
"Isn't it?" Datehang blinked his eyes twice and said somewhat speechlessly: "Are you involved in another case? It seems that I have to stop Natalie's idea."
"Natalie? What do you mean?" Fujiwara Yu asked while flipping through the files.
"Natalie wants to have a four-person date, but I want to dispel her idea now. Going out with a guy like you might turn your vacation into overtime, and the credit will have to be given to the local police station." Idahang was ruthless.
Complain.
"……roll."
Datehang noticed that Fujiwara Yu was looking at an unsolved case from ten years ago. He came forward and asked:
"Why are you suddenly paying attention to this case? What happened?"
"The murder case I encountered this time is related to this unsolved case, and I promised the murderer to solve this case, so naturally I can't break my promise."
"Please, do you dare to agree to such a thing? The case ten years ago was not so easy to investigate. You can't find any useful information when you go back to the crime scene now. And you also know the criminal investigation technology ten years ago.
In addition, there was a heavy rain in this case, and the useful information was basically washed away by the rain!”
Has it rained heavily?
Fujiwara Yu quickly turned to the previous page of the file report. He browsed the victim's belongings with a surprised expression.
Why didn't I notice it before? Something crucial has disappeared.
He excitedly looked up at Datehang, pointed at the column of relics and said:
"Brother Hang, look here, there is something missing from the relics!"
"Huh?" Datehang squinted her eyes for a while, and then she realized that there was no umbrella among the victim's belongings. It was raining heavily that day, so she wouldn't be stupid enough to keep getting wet.
"And look here, the classmates who witnessed the victim leaving school all said that she was holding a pink umbrella in her hand when she left school. Then why didn't the victim use an umbrella to block the murderer's sight when she was escaping?
"
Idahang looked through the file report carefully. After seeing the photo of the crime scene, he suddenly realized it. He pointed to somewhere on the photo and said:
"The place where the body was found was only the place where the body was dumped, the real place of death is here!"
A bridge over the Tsumugi River.
In heavy rainy weather, even if you are waiting for someone, you will subconsciously choose a place to take shelter from the rain, and the bridge tunnel is the best choice. Saege Sayuki ten years ago may have thought the same way, so she met the murderer while taking shelter from the rain under the bridge tunnel.
, which is why she didn't use an umbrella to cover her body.
Fujiwara Yu picked up the suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair and said as he walked out:
"That's right, and if the murderer took away the umbrella, he probably had to take it away."
"What's the meaning?"
"For example, if you get the murderer's fingerprints, you have to go to the scene of the crime. Maybe there are clues." Fujiwara Yuu didn't forget to put the car keys into Datehan's hand and said with a smile: "
I'm a little sleepy, so I'll leave it to Brother Hang to drive."
"Okay, I'll go with you. If I can really solve this case, I'll treat you to a drink and invite Matsuda and the others to drink together!"
"...Spare me, I'm really afraid of you guys acting crazy after drinking."
