Kameda Yoshimasa led a group of people to the police room on the ninth floor. The owners of this old office building wanted to rent a room on a lower floor for the convenience of transporting goods, so the police room was moved from the first floor to the ninth floor because of economic difficulties.
When the economy is booming, as long as the owner is willing to rent a room, anything can be said.
Kitahara Shuji entered the door and carefully looked at the police room. He found that the place was a little messy, but there were no signs of fighting. Hojo Sanshin walked around the room and didn't see anything strange. He took another look at the room, which was still open.
I checked the TV and found that it was a foreign football commentary program.
Kameda Yoshimasa explained: "This is a TV station in Portugal. We were originally watching a football match in Portugal today, but as soon as the match ended, the antenna had poor contact again."
"What time is it specifically?" Hojo Sanshin asked in detail.
"The end time of the game is 9:10 Japan time, and then Nakayama-kun went up... Originally we had to watch another game at 9:40." To prove that he was not lying, Kameda Yoshimasa picked up the ball from the table.
A piece of paper was shown to Hojo Sanshin. On it was the program list they printed from the Internet.
Kitahara Shuji stood behind Hojo Sanshin and took a look, and found that he was really a football lover. Not only the Portuguese Super League, but also Serie A, Premier League, and Eredivisie games, and a small number of them were in Serie B and Serie C.
league.
No wonder they have to install their own satellite dish. Indeed, there are some football matches that Japanese TV stations will not pay to broadcast.
Hojo Sanshin was not interested in the football match. He just took one look at it and let it go. He just pointed at the coffee table full of snack bags and asked: "You were watching the match here?"
"Yes."
"Then Mr. Nakayama went to the rooftop to repair the satellite antenna?"
"Yes, he went to fix it, and I was watching the TV picture here. At that time, I watched the TV and it was working normally, so I went to the window and shouted, OK, then came back and sat down to continue eating snacks, but after a few minutes
I heard his scream, and when I ran to the window to look, he was already..."
"That's right! Do you usually adjust the satellite antenna this way?"
"Yes, the ninth floor and the rooftop are very close, and the shouts can be heard."
Hojo Sanshin pondered for a moment, and felt that this statement seemed to be correct, and asked again: "After seeing Mr. Nakayama fall from the window, he called the police directly, didn't he go down to have a look or call an ambulance first?"
Kameda Yoshimasa shook his head: "That's the rooftop on the tenth floor, Hojo Criminal...please take a look."
Hojo Sanshin stood by the window and looked down. He found that through the dim lights in the courtyard, he could see the body of the deceased. The twisted posture of the deceased showed that he had passed away. He couldn't help but nodded slowly and fell directly from the tenth floor to the ground.
On the concrete floor, it is normal to fall to death, but it is a miracle to survive. This is a common sense judgment.
However, he glanced at Kameda Yoshimasa and saw that this man was very calm! However, it was doubtful that the witness had a calm personality, but it could not be used as evidence.
Hojo Sanshin thought for a while, but still felt that there was not much doubt in the case, so he gave up directly. He reached out and called Murakami Shigena and said: "Murakami, I want to go back to Heishi Town. You know how popular serial violence cases are now.
The media is paying attention, so... I leave this to you."
Murakami Shigena hesitated for a moment. This was not her scope of work, but now that there was a big case in the First Department, it was also true that the search section was short of manpower. She could not find a reason to refuse the strong man who was arresting her, so she could only nod and said:
"I understand, Hojo-senpai."
Hojo Sanshin warned: "Wait until dawn to contact the employees of this company, visit them, and confirm the relationship between Kameda and Nakayama before his death. If there is no problem, close the case as an accident and complete the transcripts and closing reports. Your boss
I'll ask the section chief to say hello over there, so I can borrow you for two days."
Murakami Shigena saluted: "Yes, Hojo-senpai."
This is the first time she has handled a case. Although it is an accidental death case, it is still a case and requires visits and investigations. Although she has to work overtime again, it feels interesting.
Hojo Sanshin made arrangements, and found the personnel of the forensics section and the local security police to give some instructions, asking them to temporarily cooperate with Shigena Murakami, and then set off to Heishi Town, where the serious cases were.
In an important case, six people have been seriously injured in a row in the past month, which has caused people to panic. There has been a lot of criticism in the media. We must concentrate all our efforts to catch the murderer quickly, otherwise the county headquarters will send people down, and then the bureaucrats from the professional group will also be looking for them.
Branch office troubles.
Kitahara Shuji had just finished walking around the police room. He was looking at the program list carefully, and at the same time checking things on the Internet with his mobile phone. When he looked up, he saw Hojo Sanshin looking like he was about to leave, and quickly asked: "Hojo Criminal, are you
Where are you going?”
Hojo Sanshin looked back at him, waved his hand and left. In other words, he found Kitahara Shuji quite pleasing to the eye, otherwise he would have cursed him just because he was running around at the crime scene, but no matter how pleasing he was to him.
There was no need to explain to him that he was just a high school student, so he didn't kick him out when he saw that he was a celebrity.
Shigena Murakami explained: "Senior Hojo has other cases to handle, so he left first."
"Where's this side?"
Murakami Shigena said speechlessly: "It seems that I have to finish the matter. I will be busy for about a day or two, right? According to Hojo-senpai, if there are no other problems during the visit tomorrow, the case will be closed as an accidental death."
Kitahara Hideji glanced at Kameda Yoshimasa and said softly: "But this is not an accidental death."
Murakami Shigena was taken aback and quickly pulled Kitahara Hideji aside. He instinctively blamed him: "Kitahara-san, you can't say such things casually!"
The winning rate of prosecutors in Japanese criminal cases is as high as 99.9%. That is to say, when the prosecutor conducts a public prosecution, the evidence is basically solid, ensuring that the suspect has a 99.9% chance of being convicted before taking action. The main job of Japanese criminal defense lawyers is
Bargain with the prosecutor and try to ensure that the client is not sentenced too harshly and can obtain probation, bail, etc. In Japan, it is not profitable to be a criminal lawyer. In court, he is also the prosecutor's yes-man. He can only beg for mercy, which is very frustrating, so he rarely
There are lawyers who specialize in criminal cases.
There is a reason for this.
In Japan, being brought to court has a great impact on a suspect's daily life and reputation. Once he goes to court and it is an unjust case, the suspect cannot explain to the people around him that he was wronged one by one, and he will still offend his colleagues.
, a lot of criticism from friends and even strangers, and Japanese people can't stand other people's bad evaluation of themselves, and their psychology is very fragile. They often commit suicide to prove their innocence. In serious cases, they will even cut open their stomachs to let everyone see if it is true.
The "black belly".
Therefore, if they don't get irrefutable evidence, Japanese prosecutors will not launch a public prosecution, because once the public prosecution fails, the wronged guy will make a fuss and cry again, which will have a great impact on public opinion, and the responsible prosecutor will be scolded by his superiors.
Half-dead, it may affect your promotion at worst, and in the most serious cases, you may even need to hold a press conference to apologize in public to the media, and then take the blame and resign.
The same is true for the police. If they accuse a person of being a criminal suspect without evidence, and the other party complains, or complains through politicians or the media, Murakami Shigena's head can be poured with three buckets of dog blood by his boss and then blown up on the spot.
She took Kitahara Hideji a few steps away again and asked in detail: "Do you have any evidence, Kitahara-san? Hojo-senpai didn't find anything suspicious."
She didn't find anything suspicious, and it felt like it was just a sad accident.
"The decisive evidence has not been found yet." Kitahara Hideji smiled and said: "But I am basically certain that Mr. Kameda has a motive for the murder."
"What motive?"
"For money." Kitahara Shuji shook his head: "They should be participating in overseas gambling."
"Betting on football?"
"It's the betting companies that gamble through the opening odds of football matches. The Portuguese Super League, which ended at 9:10 tonight, was a big upset. The score was 6:0. Five goals were scored in the first half and one in the second half. The weak team had a big loss.
The winning score is beyond the expectation of 99.9% of people. If we follow the betting company’s compound lottery rules, if we win all the winnings, we can win about 7,000 euros for 1,000 yen, and 70,000 euros for 10,000 yen.”
Kitahara Shuji said, and showed Murakami Shigena the program schedules of Nakayama Sukenobu and Kameda Yoshimasa, and then took her mobile phone to show her the information they had seen online or planned to see, all of which were from European gambling companies.
There are only a few hot games at the opening, but not a lot.
Then Kitahara Shuji pointed to Murakami Shigena's desk where Nakayama Sukenobu lived, which was basically full of football-related books and magazines. Murakami was an avid football fan, or an avid football gambler.
Maybe he is a technical person. He liked football at first, but later developed into using his hobby to make money.
After reading the program list and the betting website, Murakami Shigena was a little dubious: "Even if Mr. Nakayama bets on football, Mr. Kameda won't get any benefits if he dies!"
Kitahara Hideji pointed to the address book on the wall of the police room and said with a smile: "I just called Mr. Nakayama's cell phone and it said it was turned off, but there is no cell phone of his in the police room, nor on him, so I think...
Did he place bets through his mobile phone? And Mr. Kameda is indeed his good friend. He knew or secretly memorized his account password. After the matter ended in an accident, he could win without anyone noticing.
The money was transferred.”
"Did he forget his cell phone at home, or simply don't have it?"
"It's possible that you forgot it at home, but in this day and age, it's probably extremely rare for a person to have a mobile phone. It's unlikely, and the motive is not important. Murakami Criminal. In fact, I started to be a little suspicious after seeing the body."
It’s Mr. Tian.”
"Didn't that shoe be found? That proves that Mr. Zhongshan did climb onto the water tower support before his death."
Kitahara Xiuji smiled and said: "I'm not referring to the shoe, I'm looking for the flashlight."
"flashlight?"
"Yes, please recall what Mr. Kameda said. Mr. Nakayama went to the rooftop to repair the satellite antenna by himself, so there is a question. Did he go up there in the dark? He walked through the darkness without turning on the lights, and there were piles of
Then climb up to the rooftop, climb up the water tower bracket in the dark on the rooftop without lights, and then twist the tuner of the satellite antenna in the dark?"
Kitahara Hideji glanced at Kameda Yoshimasa's waist, where a flashlight was hanging, and there was also one on Nakayama Sukenobu's desk, half-covered by several magazines, "Murakami Criminal, this is a vigilante
There is no shortage of flashlights in the room, so why is he bothering?"
"Then it's very likely..."
"Yes, I think Mr. Kameda made an appointment with Mr. Nakayama to go to the rooftop to smoke or enjoy the shade. Because we go there often, and Mr. Kameda took a flashlight, so Mr. Nakayama didn't take it. He thought a little light would be enough. Please take a look.
There, this is the policy of the property management company. They usually do not turn on the corridor lights when patrolling, probably to save electricity bills. And remember we just went to the tenth floor? The corridor lights in this old building are manually controlled, and
It was a bit far away from the elevator entrance and on the other side of the entrance to the rooftop, so the two of them shared a flashlight to get to the rooftop."
"In this way, Mr. Kameda found out that Mr. Nakayama won gambling and won a huge amount of money, so he deliberately made an appointment with Mr. Nakayama on the rooftop and then pushed him down when he was not prepared? Then that shoe is Kame
Mr. Tian ran up to the rooftop and stuffed it into the support of the water tower? No wonder he ran out of the building after we all arrived. I thought he was afraid of getting along with corpses and deliberately hid in the building waiting for the police to come..."
"I think it should be, and he also took Mr. Zhongshan's mobile phone and just waited for the gambling money to be transferred to the account."
"What about the cell phone?"
Kitahara Xiuji pondered for a moment: "I didn't find it, he should have thrown it somewhere. This person is very calm and rational. He would not put the deceased's mobile phone on his body, so that even if he is discovered later, he can still explain it.
If it is lost by the deceased, it has nothing to do with him."
"Will there be his fingerprints on the phone?"
"Even if there is, they are friends and colleagues. It is normal for them to have borrowed each other's mobile phones."
Murakami Shigena scratched her hair and said distressedly: "Then there's no way to prove him based on speculation. It's useless! There must be substantial evidence..." Her eyes lit up as she spoke, "That shoe, there will be something on it
Do you have his fingerprints?"
Kitahara Hideji nodded and said: "You can ask the people in the forensics class to check it. If there is any evidence, it should be considered as evidence, but I don't think a person like him would leave such a clue."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Kameda Yoshimasa. This guy was sitting on a chair with his head bowed. He seemed to still be blaming himself, but he couldn't see his expression clearly and didn't know if he was snickering.
He is invincible. Even if he can't get the money, it can't be proved that he killed Zhongshan Jiexin.
