Sato looked at Takagi next to him, was stunned for a moment and asked: "Takagi, did you think of anything?"
I saw Takagi running to pick up the information on the table, flipping it through and saying, "If I guessed correctly, maybe all the victims once lined up in the same queue?"
Manager Matsumoto, who was deploying the arrest operation, immediately raised his head and said, "What? Can you explain it in more detail?"
Takagi walked to the whiteboard, drew the "seven barrels" of mahjong tiles on it, and analyzed: "There are two types of mahjong tiles left with the victim, one from Jinno, and seven from the other five victims.
"
"If you put everyone in the red circle position on the mahjong tiles, maybe the victims have been lined up in this order?"
As he spoke, Takagi used magnets to stick the photos of several victims into the seven-cylinder dots.
Since the first victim is a cylinder, it is placed in the upper left corner of the seven cylinders.
Everyone just formed a somewhat crooked team.
"That makes sense..."
Mu Mu stared at the content on the whiteboard and gave an affirmative answer.
Sato stared at the content on the whiteboard, and then thought of the reasoning Qin Zhibo told her yesterday, knowing that Takagi's reasoning was wrong.
Because the mahjong tiles actually represent the Big Dipper and the North Star.
However, regarding the mahjong tiles, everyone has different dot marks. Qin Zhibo did not say the reason for this.
Although the idea proposed by Takagi at this time sounded reasonable, it was not of much practical help in handling the case.
Therefore, everyone continued to capture Fukase Minoru according to the original plan.
Sato followed everyone to the parking lot. Just as he was about to open the door and get in the car, he touched his pocket and said in surprise: "Oops, I forgot to bring handcuffs!"
"Handcuffs?" Takagi, his partner, was stunned.
"Yes, that is my father's relic. I take it with me every time I go on a mission. I remember putting it in the drawer of my desk..."
When Takagi heard this, he immediately became excited and volunteered: "Officer Sato, I'll go get the handcuffs for you!"
"Then it's up to you, Officer Takagi. I'll wait for you in the car."
"yes!"
Looking at Takagi's running back, Sato got into the car and called Qin Zhibo.
…
On the other side, Zhibo Detective Agency.
Qin Zhibo, who was reading the newspaper, suddenly received a call from Sato and immediately rushed to the rice flower mall.
Sato not only revealed the police arrest operation to Qin Zhibo, but also Takagi Wataru's reasoning about the queue.
Qin Zhibo also found it interesting after hearing this.
In fact, even the "Secret Word Investigation" did not explain why the murderer drew red circles on the dots of the mahjong tiles, and the positions were different for each person.
But it seems a bit far-fetched to just queue up.
Even if a quarrel breaks out in an ordinary queue, there should be no situation where everyone in the queue has to be killed.
Moreover, the pattern combining seven tubes and one tube does not look like a normal queue.
Therefore, what the murderer wanted to express should be more likely to involve extreme situations...
15 minutes later, Qin Zhibo arrived at the square in front of Mihua Shopping Mall.
Since several previous cases occurred in Mihua Shopping Mall, the owner of Mihua Shopping Mall thought there was something wrong with the feng shui, so he renovated the entire mall.
The current Mihua Mall has changed from the original department store style to a more modern comprehensive shopping mall.
Qin Zhibo parked the car and walked quickly to the shopping mall lobby on the first floor.
In order not to be discovered by the police and arouse suspicion in Ireland, he put on a human skin mask.
There was no trace of instability among the bustling crowd.
Qin Zhibo raised his head and looked up, using his telescope to scan around, and soon found Mu Mu and others standing by the guardrail of the glass building.
Megure, Shiratori, Takagi, Sato, Yamato Gansuke, Uehara Yui and other policemen were all quietly watching the woman standing at the entrance of the escalator.
The woman was dressed very fashionably. She leaned on the guardrail with her elbows and stared at the shopping plaza below with a melancholy look on her face.
Name: Risa Yoshii, age 21 years old...
Qin Zhibo confirmed through his vision that this person was the target of police surveillance.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo also found a place where it was convenient to observe the overall situation and stood there, quietly observing the situation.
If Ireland also knew about the police's actions, they would definitely send people to find ways to contact the person named "Minor Fukase" in advance.
But in this place that is strictly controlled by the police, how he could contact this person alone is a question worth thinking about.
You can't plant a bomb and let the bomb attract the attention of the police, right?
...it seems impossible to tell...
Qin Zhibo sat at the round table near the guardrail, ordered a cup of coffee, and took a look at the situation on the court.
Ten minutes later, Qin Zhibo suddenly noticed a woman standing not far from Yoshii Risa.
The woman is wearing a small dark green suit, has a straight figure, short hair, and glasses. She looks a bit like Hondo Yingyou.
But what's a little strange is that I can neither see her identity information nor see that she has any plans to move.
Although she frequently checked the watch on the inside of her wrist, as if she was waiting for someone, her eyes were looking at various places from time to time.
Generally, no identity information can be seen, which most likely means that the person has no identity information that can be disclosed.
Of course, from a practical point of view, it is more likely that it is a person with a completely false identity, the kind of person who does not even have a made-up name.
He is an organizational person!
Qin Zhibo brought up the field of view of the telescope and further observed the woman's body. Sure enough, he saw that her calf was bulging.
There should be a pocket pistol hidden inside...
This person should be Belmod.
Because only Belmode can go out alone to cause trouble when Ireland has to maintain his status as a policeman.
As for why she followed the police and wandered around the suspect's girlfriend, she probably wanted to wait until the suspect showed up.
The police will definitely come out to arrest the suspect. If the suspect resists arrest, he will subconsciously seize the people around him and use them as hostages.
Moreover, the suspect will most likely resist arrest because he has been a fugitive for stabbing someone before and has been on the run for a year.
As long as the suspect takes her hostage to a place where no one is around, she can easily kill the suspect and find the organization's memory card.
Of course, the premise is that this "Fukase Minoru" is really the murderer of the serial murder case.
Qin Zhibo is not optimistic about this.
Because the person who committed this serial crime is an extremely thoughtful person.
At this critical moment, he must have known that he could not contact anyone at will at this time to increase the probability of being arrested.
But since we are fighting for that memory card, we must seize any opportunity, no matter how slim it is.
At this moment, the expression of surveillance target Risa Yoshii suddenly changed, and she excitedly raised her hand downwards.
"Amin!"
The police were immediately alert and looked down at the mall entrance, only to see a man wearing a white jacket and blue jeans waving in response.
The man carries a blue cloth satchel on his left shoulder.
"Fukase has appeared, all units should pay attention."
"Stay in your respective locations and be on standby. Don't be discovered..."
Mumu conveyed the command through wireless headphones, and everyone looked serious.
At the same time, Qin Zhibo saw the disguised Belmod and glanced down without leaving any trace.
Minoru Fukase, who was in the shopping mall lobby, did not notice the police ambush around him at this time, and still took the escalator to go upstairs.
Originally, blocking the person on the escalator and unable to move forward or retreat at this time was the best time to arrest him.
However, two children happened to get on the escalator first and stood in front of Fukase Minoru.
In order to prevent him from taking hostages, we had to let him go upstairs first.
At the corner of the 6th floor, the child finally ran away, and Minoru Fukase officially met his girlfriend.
"Now, arrest him..."
As soon as Megure finished speaking, Yamamura Cao from Gunma County immediately put down his collar and ran towards the suspect.
That exaggerated pace will make not only bad people alert, but good people will also be alert immediately.
Chiba wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was too late.
Before Yamamura could even run up to the suspect, he was about to show his police officer ID a few meters away.
As a result, he fell to the ground again at the critical moment and threw the documents in his hand directly in front of the suspect.
Fukase Minoru, who was chatting and laughing with his girlfriend, glanced at the police officer's ID card that suddenly flew to his feet, and then glanced at Yamamura Soo who fell to the ground, and immediately understood what was going on.
When Yamato Gansuke, who was about to approach quietly from behind, saw this scene, he could only grit his teeth and angrily cursed "that idiot."
But now that the matter was over, he could only show his police officer ID.
"Fukase, don't move!"
Chiba, who followed Yamamura Cao, also showed his ID, "You can't escape anymore!"
Minoru Fukase glanced at the policemen on both sides, gritted his teeth and cursed "Damn it" secretly.
But at this moment, a short-haired woman wearing green clothes passed by and happened to be within reach of Minoru Fukase.
So, he immediately took out the switchblade, hugged the woman over, and hooked his arm around her neck.
"Don't move!"
"Don't come here!"
"If you dare to move, I will stab you right away!"
Saying that, Fukase Minoru raised his knife as if to stab him.
Yamato Gansuke quickly stopped and scolded: "Even if you do this, you can't escape! Just surrender and capture him!"
"Stop talking! Don't follow me!"
Minoru Fukase had no intention of giving up resistance, and was in a very intense mood, and could hurt the hostages in his hands at any time.
When Yamato Gansuke saw this, he could only watch him retreat to the escalator and slowly get off the elevator.
And where the elevator landed, Takagi and Sato were already waiting here.
However, due to the hostage in Fukase Minoru's hands, the two of them did not dare to step forward rashly and could only keep giving in.
In this way, Fukase Minoru kept a safe distance from the police while holding hostages, and retreated to the underground garage.
During this period, the police tried to follow him several times, but they were forced to retreat with a knife.
Therefore, Megure directed everyone in the earphones to change their thinking and not to continue to appear in Fukase Minoru's field of vision. First, let him relax his vigilance, and then arrest him outside.
All the police officers who received the order immediately turned around and ran towards the exit of the parking lot.
When entering the underground garage, Minoru Fukase saw that the police no longer followed him, and thought that his threats were effective.
But he also knew that if he wanted to completely get rid of the police, he still needed hostages.
"Risa, my car is parked over there, go and bring it over!"
During the confrontation with the police just now, Fukase Minoru's girlfriend never left him and stayed with him the whole time.
The girlfriend took the thrown car keys and ran towards the depths of the parking lot with a twisting step.
Minoru Fukase glanced at the short-haired woman in his arms and said coldly: "Before I get rid of those notes, I can only force you to act with us..."
In his eyes, the woman in front of him was a weak woman with no strength to restrain herself.
He just waved the knife twice, and the woman moved along with him without any resistance.
"Also, I'm sorry for accidentally scratching your face."
There was a scratch on the woman's face, which was made by Fukase Minoru just now in order to intimidate the police.
But at this time, the scar on the woman's face did not leak out a trace of blood, and the delicate skin was still white underneath.
"Um?"
Fukase Minoru looked stunned, wondering what was going on.
At this moment, the woman's left foot suddenly lifted up, and a 180-degree high kick directly hit Fukase Minoru behind her in the head.
This sudden force caught Fukase Minoru off guard, and he was kicked and fell to the ground, unconscious.
The woman turned around and stared at Fukase Minoru who was lying on the ground. Just as she was about to bend down to fumble for the satchel that Fukase Minoru had been carrying, footsteps suddenly came from behind the load-bearing pillar next to her.
The woman's ears twitched and she immediately looked in the direction of the sound with vigilance.
I saw a figure standing in the darkness, seemingly holding a pistol in his hand.
Belmod's face suddenly became stern, and he subconsciously made a tactical roll and hid around the corner of the stairs in the underground garage.
However, the man did not shoot.
He just quietly walked out from behind the pillar and picked up the satchel that fell beside Fukase Minoru.
At this time, Belmod also took out the small pistol stuck in the holster on his ankle, preparing to deal with this stranger with a gun.
Is it the police?
still……
Suddenly, Belmode noticed something was wrong, and quickly took out a makeup mirror from his pocket to check the situation outside with a reflective perspective.
Minoru Fukase was still lying on the ground unconscious, but the satchel beside him was missing.
not good!
Only then did Belmod realize that the other party was specifically here to snatch the bag, so he quickly stood up and scanned the entire environment with his gun raised.
But there was no one left in the silent garage.
Belmode scanned the entire environment, wanting to find the figure, but she also knew that the police were definitely stationed at the exit of the parking lot, and she could not stay here longer.
Fortunately, she had just been held hostage by Minoru Fukase, and she had already felt that Minoru Fukase's right shoulder was injured and that he could not exert his strength.
That's why he apologized and said he didn't scratch his face on purpose.
Internal police information provided by Ireland stated that the murderer should be right-handed and had repeatedly stabbed people with a knife held in his right hand.
In other words, there is a high probability that Minoru Fukase is not the murderer.
