——No...I can't find any more valuable clues at all...
Nishino's brows could not help but slowly frown as his thoughts were blocked.
But just when the skin between his eyebrows began to tighten, Nishino's pupils suddenly shrank.
——Ah! No, no, no!
Nishino quickly raised his right index finger and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously to loosen the newly wrinkled skin.
——As a warrior, how can you frown and act like a girl?
——You have to look like a samurai, you have to look like a samurai...
——A samurai must remain serious all the time... Be serious... Be serious...
Nishino took a deep breath, and his expression changed back to this stern look (￣︿￣).
After leading four of his subordinates to the crime scene in Koyanagi Town and asking the troublesome Aototo to leave, Nishino immediately launched an investigation.
As soon as the investigation began, Nishino collected three extremely valuable clues:
1: The knife edges on the victim's body were messy, and only one of the seven knives on his body hit the vital point. This shows that the criminal was not good at using knives.
2: The victim was probably killed last night. Because he was wearing regular clothes and not pajamas, and the place of death was in the living room of his home, it can be seen that he was killed before going to bed.
Three: The criminal pressed the victim's mouth with one hand to silence him, and held a knife with the other hand to commit the murder. Based on the traces of pressing and scratching on the victim's mouth, it can be judged that the criminal's slap was very large and related to "
Combined with the clue that the criminal controlled the victim's mouth with one hand and held a knife with the other hand, it can be basically concluded that the criminal is a male.
Although when the investigation was first launched, so many high-value clues were collected at once, and the results were quite gratifying, however... the gratifying results ended here.
Since then, Nishino has not collected any other more valuable clues...
Although the three clues currently known are valuable, they are far from enough to narrow down the suspects.
No more useful clues could be found for a long time - this made Nishino secretly feel anxious.
Nishino raised his head again and carefully observed the crime scene for an unknown number of times.
After scanning every corner of the scene, his eyes finally landed on the candlestick with a small piece of candle placed not far from Grandma Ping's body.
For some reason, Nishino has always cared about the candle on the candlestick since he entered the crime scene.
Can't even tell why.
There is a candlestick for lighting in the corner of the living room... It's normal, nothing strange.
But... why do I feel a strange sense of dissonance...
Nishino felt like he was catching a catkin flying in the wind - he seemed to be able to catch the catkin right away, but when his fingers were about to touch the catkin, it started to spin around in the breeze.
Flying to other places...
Just a little bit closer...a little bit closer to realizing something...
Nishino raised his hands and rubbed his temples, thinking hard.
In Nishino, I was thinking hard about this——
"Well... Mr. Nishino, the crowd gathered outside seems to be getting larger and larger."
One of the four Oka Hikiri whom he brought to investigate the case suddenly came to Nishino's side and whispered.
"Although they are quite peaceful now, it's still not a good idea to gather so many people. If there is an accident such as a stampede, it will be troublesome."
"Those who rely solely on their own will probably not be able to disperse them."
"Master Nishino, why don't we go out in person and persuade them to disperse as soon as possible."
"Is there a crowd outside the house..." Nishino was startled, then turned to look in the direction of the door, "...that's right... we can't let the crowds gather like this."
Due to the large population and little usable land, every city in the Edo period had extremely high population density and housing density. The houses were densely connected together, making most of the streets and intersections quite narrow.
Something like this has happened before - too many people gathered outside the crime scene to watch the excitement, so a stampede accidentally occurred. Three people were trampled to death and more than a dozen others were injured.
"Tsk..." Nishino curled his lips and smacked his lips, "Where did that idiot go? Didn't he help maintain order outside and disperse the crowd? Or did he run away to who knows where...
"
"Tsk... What a useless guy..."
"Obviously this place is under his jurisdiction. There are so many people gathered outside the crime scene, but he doesn't pay attention..."
As a member of the "Dongcheng Group", he naturally dislikes the people of the "Arima Group" who often fight cases with them.
But——it’s just because they belong to different “camps”, so they don’t like each other.
In terms of personal feelings alone, Nishino does not dislike Arima, Inodani, and Ushiyama from the "Arima Group".
But Qingden is the exception!
How does Nishino dislike this idiot!
As a noble samurai, as a member of the "Three Chapters", he is so incompetent!
How decent!
Nishino doesn't hate incompetent people. After all, there are strong people and weak people in this world.
But he hates the kind of people who just sit in the toilet and fail to perform their due responsibilities!
Showing the strongest contempt for *******—this is what Nishino has always insisted on.
Therefore, Nishino has never given Qingto a good look.
I didn't even bother to look at him, and I didn't even want to say another word to him.
Nishino concluded that based on Dudeng's moral character, he would definitely not be able to pass the "big boss test" in one and a half months.
He is now eager for the "big boss assessment" to come soon, and then weed out all the gangsters headed by Qingdeng.
In this way, their "three times" atmosphere should be revived.
Just when Nishino was about to go outside in person and drive away the people gathered outside the house——
Blah blah blah blah...!
Outside the house, it suddenly became extremely noisy.
--what happened?
Nishino was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked three steps to the door of the house.
Before he could reach the door, he saw an official from his own department opening the door with an excited "swish" sound:
"Master Nishino! Good news! Good news! The criminal who killed Granny Ping has been caught! The criminal has been caught!"
quiet……
Nishino froze in place.
"Have you caught the criminal?" After being stunned for a moment, a shocked Nishino asked loudly.
"Yes! It was Mr. Tachibana who caught the criminal!"
"...Tachibana-sama?"
Nishino was stunned again.
"Which Tachibana-sama?!"
"That's Lord Tachibana Aoden!"
quiet……
The silence inside the house was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.
