Before the car stopped, Chang Hongling hurriedly got out of the car. Just as she was about to walk upstairs, two policemen stopped her and said, "Miss, you can't go up now."
Chang Hongling said: "I live here, why can't I go up?"
"There has been a murder upstairs and the scene is being investigated. No matter who it is, no one can enter or leave at will."
Jiang Xinyu got out of the car and said to one of the policemen: "Lao Lu, what's going on inside now?"
Policeman Lu said: "Chief Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Xinyu pointed at Chang Hongling and said, "My friend lives here, room 6 on the second floor."
Lao Lu came over and said: "The Harada couple who lived in Room 5, one died in the kitchen and the other died in the bedroom. The military police ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"The search is underway. Our police station, together with the detective team and the gendarmerie, are all dispatched..."
While the two were talking, a black car sped up, braked suddenly and stopped on the side of the road. Hattori Hikoo opened the door and walked out.
"Brother!" Hattori Mina said, waving her hands.
Hattori Hikoo paused, walked over, and said to Chang Hongling: "Miss Ayako, you are frightened."
Chang Hongling bowed slightly in greeting and said, "I just came back too... I never imagined that something like this would happen."
Hattori Mina explained from the side: "Ayako, I and Shinyu are drinking coffee at Lilac."
Hattori Hikoo glanced at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Are you interested? Come up with me and have a look."
"Yes." Jiang Xinyu agreed respectfully.
"I want to go too." Hattori Mina said.
Hattori Hikoo glared at her and said, "Don't mess around! Stay in the car with Miss Ayako."
Hattori Mina pursed her lips and muttered: "If you don't want to go, why don't you go? Why are you so fierce..."
Chang Hongling advised: "Major, this is for your own good. What's so interesting about the dead? Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night?"
"Are you talking to your brother so soon?"
The two of them opened the car door and got in. The outdoor temperature at this time was at least about minus ten degrees. After standing outside for a while, they both felt the bone-chilling cold.
In Room 5 on the second floor, a policeman was holding a camera and taking pictures everywhere. Zhou Renjie was squatting on the ground and looking at something. On the other side, the people from the consulate and Second Lieutenant Miyamoto were talking in low voices.
Hattori Hikoo stepped in and looked around.
Second Lieutenant Miyamoto walked over quickly, put his feet together, and said: "Report to Major, I have sent people to conduct a carpet search within a radius of five miles, and the news has not been reported back yet."
Hattori Hikoo nodded, walked into the bedroom slowly, and said, "Captain Zhou, what were you found at the scene?"
Dr. Harada's body fell on the tatami, his chest was stabbed, and the large pool of blood underneath him had gradually solidified.
Zhou Renjie followed behind and said: "Judging from the scene, there were no signs of struggle. The murderer first killed Dr. Harada, and then went to the kitchen and killed Mrs. Harada who was cooking. The interval between the two would not exceed five minutes."
Hattori Hikoo came to the kitchen again, and Kyoko Harada was lying on the floor. She had been stabbed in the back, and there were still a few faint blood stains on her kimono. It must be that the murderer wiped the blood from the knife on her body after the murder.
"Is the forensic doctor here?" Hattori Hikoo turned around and asked.
A sergeant at the police station said: "I just called to ask questions, and the forensic doctor is already on the way."
The room was very messy, things were scattered all over the floor, almost all the drawers had been rummaged through, the jewelry box was thrown on the coffee table, and there was nothing inside.
This is a typical home invasion and murder scene. Normally, the police station is responsible for the investigation, but because the deceased was a Japanese and a well-respected doctor, the gendarmerie intervened.
"What do you think about this case?" Hattori Hikoo said to Jiang Xinyu who was standing aside.
Jiang Xinyu knew that this kind of scene could not be hidden from others, but not from Hattori Hikoo's eyes. It would not be a wise move for him to just pretend to be stupid.
He took a step forward and said: "Major, in my opinion, this is not a simple robbery and murder case."
"Oh? Tell me what you think." Hattori Hikoo's face was calm, and no emotional changes could be seen.
"I just checked the wounds on the Harada couple. They were all killed by one stab. There is absolutely no need for a second stab. This shows that the murderer is an expert and does not look like the work of ordinary thieves."
Zhou Renjie interjected: "The house was turned upside down like this, what else could it be if it wasn't a thief?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "I feel more like a professional killer!"
Zhou Renjie said in surprise: "Professional killer?"
Jiang Xinyu said calmly: "Yes! Dr. Harada may have offended someone, and the other party hired a professional killer to retaliate."
Zhou Renjie characterized the case as robbery and murder, but Jiang Xinyu overturned it in a few words, which made him feel disgraced and argued: "I have been working in the detective team for so many years, and I have never seen a professional killer also do the job of robbing money!"
Jiang Xinyu shook his head slightly and said: "Although the room looks very messy, in fact, if you look closely, you will find that the murderer is just messing around and creating a fake scene."
Hattori Hikoo finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said: "You are right, look at these rummaged places...wardrobes, bookshelves, unlocked drawers, who would put valuables in these places? The murderer is not looking for money, he is here to kill people!"
Zhou Renjie grinned and said, "Major, do you also think it was a professional killer who did it?"
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "I have another idea..."
"Major, the forensic doctor is here." Lieutenant Miyamoto came over and reported.
After a while, Forensic Doctor Xu walked in carrying a medicine box, and a police sergeant hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Old Xu, why are you here? There are so many officers waiting for you!"
Forensic Doctor Xu said with a grimace: "What can I do? If you want me to come here sooner, just ask the bureau to replace that old car. If it breaks down every three days, who can bear it..."
The sergeant urged, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about the car later. Let's get to work quickly."
Lao Xu walked into the bedroom carrying the medicine box, passed by Jiang Xinyu, and greeted him politely: "Chief Jiang is here too."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Forensic Doctor Xu, thank you for your hard work."
Being able to excel in your own field will always win more respect and trust.
Forensic doctor Xu is undoubtedly such a person. Among all the forensic doctors in Yanjin, he is the only one who has never made any mistakes.
Over time, any autopsy report made by Forensic Doctor Xu is basically equal to the word authoritative!
