"...Mr. Police Officer, I, I would like to provide a clue that may be useful to you."
After hearing these words, Fujiwara Yuu did not rush upstairs. Instead, he turned around and carefully looked at the waiter at the yakiniku restaurant in front of him named Naito Tatsuji, who was also one of the suspects in the case.
The dry and yellow hair is not caused by hair damage caused by frequent hair dyeing, but caused by a lack of zinc, iron, copper and other elements in the body. He is either extremely picky about food or has average family conditions and is malnourished.
The dark circles under his eyes were very thick, and his entire face looked very haggard. If he hadn't already known that he was 27 years old, Fujiwara Yu would really have felt that the young man in front of him had already embarked on the road to becoming a fourth-year student.
He moved his gaze downwards and noticed that the back of Tatsushi Naito's left hand was wrapped with a bandage. He couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Naito, is your hand injured?"
"Ah?" Naito Tatsuji subconsciously looked at his left hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small wound. I accidentally injured it while cleaning."
"Even small wounds need to be treated well, disinfected, kept away from water and frequently changed gauze." Yu Fujiwara has been acting as a doctor since he recovered his past life memory. When encountering this kind of situation, he will subconsciously commit occupational diseases.
.
Naito Tatsushi smiled and nodded, he quietly put his hands behind his back and said:
"Mr. Police Officer, I actually saw Yoshioka-san and the store manager arguing yesterday, and the quarrel was quite serious."
"What is it about?"
"It's a salary issue. Actually, Mr. Police Officer, although our store's business is very good, the store manager has already deducted our salary for three months. Yoshioka-san also quarreled with the store manager because he was in a hurry for money. He even...
"
Fujiwara Yu noticed that Naito Tatsuji was hesitant to speak, so he comforted him:
"Don't be afraid to provide clues, and I will help you handle it anonymously."
"Yoshioka-san even threatened to kill the store manager." After finishing these words, Naito Tatsuji frowned and explained: "Actually, Yoshioka-san is usually a very nice person, but this time he may be in a hurry for money, so
That’s why you would say something like this.”
After hearing this, Fujiwara Yu felt that Naito Tatsuji was quite amazing. He was obviously here to proactively provide clues, but he also put in good words for the person who was exposed. Ha, it was really interesting.
"Thank you Mr. Naito for the clues. I will consider it myself."
"You're welcome, Mr. Officer, this is what I should do."
Fujiwara Yuu was about to go upstairs. Kenji Akihara, who had escorted the female police academy students back to school, pushed the door in. When he saw Fujiwara, he immediately asked about the progress of the case. After learning that the victim's mouth was filled,
After the small steel ball, his inference was consistent with Fujiwara's.
They all agreed that the murderer stuffed the small steel balls into his mouth as a way to vent his anger. Judging from the clues provided by Naito Tatsushi, the murderer most likely committed the murder because of a money dispute.
"I think the police can be asked to investigate whether the three suspects are in a hurry to use money recently." Akihara Kenji paused and gestured: "Think about it, if you are in a hurry to use money but find that your boss does not pay wages because
Isn’t it possible to kill someone impulsively if you lose all your money in gambling?”
"Well, actually I have a hypothesis in my mind, but this hypothesis still needs evidence to confirm." Fujiwara Yu's eyes fell on someone, then he reached out and patted Akihara's shoulder, and said calmly: "Let's go to the scene and have a look.
I didn’t do much research and there may be some missing clues.”
"Site surveying is my strong point. Let me go and see what little Fujiwara missed."
"I just didn't have time, it's not an omission."
"Okay, you just missed it, I understand."
"...Why are you coaxing like a child?"
The two of them walked upstairs talking and laughing. After arriving at the discovery site, they quickly calmed down their emotions and seriously joined the large group of people surveying the site.
Before Fujiwara Yuu could join, he received a call from Rei Furitani. According to the clues provided by Furitani, it was known that the victim Tezuka Hiroki was a frequent visitor to Pachinko five days a week.
While soaking in it, the clerk was very impressed with him because he often cursed after losing money.
"By the way, Pachinko's boss also revealed a piece of information to me during the investigation."
"what's the message?"
"The boss of pachinko lent the victim one million yen three months ago. During this period, he urged the victim many times but the other party never returned it. But just half a month ago, he suddenly gave the victim the money in exchange for interest.
I think we can start investigating with this money."
"Okay, I'll ask Officer Komatsu to investigate the victim's bank statements. I'll hang up first. Don't stay there anymore. Come back."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Fujiwara Yu shared the news with everyone present. Matsuda Jinpei, who was squatting on the ground and searching on the carpet, reached out and pulled out the passbook under the carpet, raised his eyebrows and analyzed:
"Didn't you say before that the victim deducted employees' wages? I think the victim dropped the money from employees' wages into small steel balls, and then asked someone to borrow money to make up for the debt.
As for him now being unable to take out the money, this bankbook is the best evidence."
The bankbook records all of Hiroki Tetsuka's savings. As the manager of a popular yakiniku restaurant, his savings do not exceed five figures.
"Tsk, tsk, gambling is really harmful." Yin Dahang couldn't help but shook his head and said. You know that the roast pork restaurant is operated with such popularity, and the monthly turnover is very optimistic. How could it be so low that there are only five people left in the deposit?
number.
"It's okay to play occasionally, but nothing can be linked to the word 'addiction', so I suggest that people with poor self-control should not touch this kind of thing." Matsuda Jin spread his hands and expressed his opinion,
He has always looked down upon gamblers who were addicted to gambling and lost all their wealth.
"I agree." Akihara Kenji smiled as he flipped through the account books in the drawer and said while reading: "Now it is basically certain that there is a financial dispute between the murderer and the victim. The murderer probably lent money to the victim to ask for it to no avail, or perhaps
It was the employees in the store who were asking for unpaid wages to no avail, which led to the murder."
"Well, this can only narrow down the scope of suspects, but we still have to find more valuable clues."
"Keep looking, don't miss anything!"
The bloody smell at the scene dissipated a lot after the windows were opened for ventilation, which made Zhu Fu Jingguang feel much more comfortable when he stepped into the scene again. He tried his best not to think about the memories and devoted himself seriously to the scene investigation. This was also
It's a challenge in disguise.
Because a police officer cannot act with personal emotions, if he cannot overcome these problems, he will not be qualified to become a qualified police officer.
When Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up, his eyes happened to fall on the calendar hanging on the wall. The white paper was stained with bright red blood, but what surprised him was the words written in black oil-based pen.
June 1st, pink. June 2nd, white. June 3rd, black. June 4th, purple...
Today is June 10th. There is no color filled in. Similarly, there is no color filled in on June 5th. Why is it suddenly not filled in in these two days? If it is not written today, it can be understood that the victim has died. So why is that day 05th?
Woolen cloth?
Moreover, Zhufu Jingguang found that as long as the color was black, there was a five-pointed star symbol drawn next to it, which made him very concerned. Could this five-pointed star symbol be the death message left by the victim Hiroki Tezuka?
But the state of the victim when he was found was impossible to leave a death message on the calendar, so what does the five-pointed star symbol mean? What do these colors mean?
He vaguely felt that this would be the key to solving the case.
