Chapter 369 Someone you can’t afford to offend
"Tell me, who are you?"
Lin Xinyi forcefully changed the topic.
After belatedly realizing that the information accidentally revealed by Officer Fang Gu was not consistent with his personality, Lin Xinyi did become wary of this so-called "public security police officer":
Even his face is fake, who knows if he is a real police officer.
What if it's an organization killer pretending to be?
Lin Xinyi's identity in the organization is confidential, and most members are unaware of his existence.
Moreover, in order to maintain confidentiality as much as possible, the organization will not issue any special orders to ask everyone to be careful not to trouble him.
On the surface, Lin Xinyi is a policeman and a powerful enemy of the organization.
He had to worry that after he caught Kenzo Masama with his own hands, some assassins from unknown organizations would come to seek revenge on him.
"Let me see your face-"
Lin Xinyi was vigilant and cautious, and finally decided to verify the true identity of the police officer Jianggu in front of him:
"I suspect you are from that organization!"
"Ah this." Officer Fang Gu was speechless for a moment.
It was the first time he experienced this wonderful feeling of having his evil identity exposed by a righteous police officer in front of his face. He was a little unable to react.
"Wait, it's one of our own!"
"Mr. Fangtani is really one of our own!"
Officer Feng Jian stopped Lin Xinyi with an embarrassed look on his face:
"He just has a special status and it's not convenient for him to show his true face."
"We are really public security police, not bad people."
As he said that, Officer Feng Jian even pinched his face to prove his innocence:
"Manager Lin, look, my face is real."
"You personally rescued me yesterday. You should recognize that I am a genuine police officer."
"Okay."
Lin Xinyi felt relieved.
Officer Fang Gu smiled helplessly:
"It seems I was negligent."
The purpose of this disguise was just to block the real appearance, which is equivalent to adding a layer of "mosaic", and not to deceive Lin Xinyi with a false identity.
So he didn't pay much attention to hiding the fact that he was disguised.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xinyi noticed something wrong with just a slight oversight:
"Sorry, Manager Lin"
"I had to meet you this way."
"As for the reason, it is confidential and I am not in a position to reveal it."
"However, speaking of this disguise, I really have to say thank you on behalf of everyone in the police."
He quietly used honorifics:
"The disguise technique our police have mastered was actually something you forced from Kaitou Kidd."
"This disguise technique really helped us a lot and allowed us all to survive a lot of dangers."
"I see."
Lin Xinyi felt even more relieved when he heard the other party mention Kaitou Kidd.
The deal between the police and Kidd is the top secret of the Metropolitan Police Department. Since the other party can tell this, it is obviously a real police officer - and his status in the police is not low.
"Ahem."
He coughed slightly in embarrassment, ending the farce he had started.
Afterwards, Lin Xinyi finally sat in the car calmly:
"Let's go to the scene."
"Right." As if he was worried that the other party would ask about Ultraman as soon as he calmed down, he kept bringing the topic out: "We will discuss this case on the road."
"I see that the case information does not mention the family relationship of the deceased Ken Yamazaki."
"He lived alone at home, and there was no one else at home at the time of the incident?"
"Oh, the information was compiled too hastily and I didn't mention this aspect."
Officer Feng Jian followed him into the car and quickly answered:
"The deceased Ken Yamazaki had a wife and he usually lived with this lady."
"But Mrs. Yamazaki runs an izakaya. Because there were many customers in the izakaya, the restaurant closed at 12 o'clock that night, so she simply stayed in the shop and did not go back."
"So at the time of the incident, the deceased Ken Yamazaki was indeed the only one in the house."
As he spoke, he also deliberately added to clarify the details:
"The neighbor reported the crime at 1 o'clock this morning. The police arrived at the scene at 1:10. At 1:20, the local police station called Mrs. Yamazaki."
"At about 1:30, Mrs. Yamazaki rushed home from the izakaya where she worked."
"Later, our police officers rushed to the scene and took over the case."
"Mrs. Yamazaki is also temporarily under the custody of our police and has been investigated accordingly."
"According to her statement, she had been sleeping in the store between 0 and 1:20. She hurried home after receiving a call from the police."
"This" Lin Xinyi frowned slightly: "Can anyone prove what Mrs. Yamazaki said?"
"No." Officer Feng Jian shook his head: "The store clerks all left after closing at 12 o'clock. They only knew that Mrs. Yamazaki was the last person to stay in the store. They were not sure that she lived in the store. There was no one after that. go home."
"Then she looks suspicious."
Lin Xinyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked in a confused manner:
"Officer Kazami, have you seen Mrs. Yamazaki?"
"What's her figure like?"
"Um, this."
Officer Feng Jian blushed and thought for a while, and finally answered honestly and truthfully:
"It's quite plump, probably above 90 points."
Lin Xinyi: "."
His face darkened, and when he was about to say something, Officer Fangtani responded quickly:
"Mrs. Yamazaki is about 1.75 meters tall. She is considered a tall woman."
"When she makes a fist, her upper arms can show slight muscle outline, and her strength should be greater than that of an average adult woman."
"Thank you." Lin Xinyi finally waited for the answer he wanted: "I understand."
Afterwards, he fell into deep thought alone and stopped talking for a long time.
Lin Xinyi and others finally arrived at the crime scene.
It was a single-family villa with a spacious yard. Although it was a bit old, it looked quite luxurious.
A long blockade has been set up outside the yard.
The people standing guard outside the blockade are the secret police of the public security.
However, they usually travel in casual clothes, but now they are wearing the police uniforms of the Metropolitan Police Department, so that no one can tell which department they are from.
Lin Xinyi felt relieved a little:
The police disguised themselves as ordinary police officers to handle the case, naturally to help him keep it secret.
In this way, even if the organization knows that Lin Xinyi is involved in the case, they will only think that he is investigating ordinary criminal cases with people from the Investigation Division as usual.
"Let's go take a look in the yard first!"
Lin Xinyi did not rush in, but carefully stepped into the turf-covered courtyard to investigate.
The first thing he noticed was the courtyard wall:
The courtyard wall was not high, and there were no valuable clear footprints left on the wall. There was just a layer of dust accumulated on the top of the wall, showing signs of being scratched over a large area.
"This should have been left behind when the murderer climbed over the wall to escape."
Officer Feng Jian specifically emphasized:
"The neighbor who reported the crime said that at 1 o'clock in the morning, she happened to see a black figure escape from behind the courtyard wall."
"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded.
He turned to look at Officer Furuya.
This police officer seems to be different from other police officers. He seems to be able to provide valuable opinions:
"Jiang Gu, what do you think?"
Lin Xinyi asked casually, and Officer Jiang Gu did not hide his thoughts:
"I think there's something fishy about this."
"Mr. Yamazaki was the only one at home at that time."
"After killing Mr. Yamazaki, the murderer could calmly open the door and leave. There is no need to climb over the wall to escape."
"unless."
Before Jiang Gu finished speaking, Feng Jian came up with a quick answer:
"Unless the murderer wanted to deliberately create traces of climbing over the wall, making people think that it was an outsider who did it?"
"And the real murderer is actually Mrs. Yamazaki!"
"She deliberately didn't take the usual route and climbed over the wall to get in and out, but it was self-defeating and left something suspicious!"
"Uh" Lin Xinyi and Officer Jiang Gu were silent for a while.
"It's not impossible."
After all, Lin Xinyi did not easily deny any speculation.
He just lowered his head silently and inspected the traces on the lawn in the courtyard:
The time of the crime was 1 am, but now it is only 8 am.
The lawn had not received enough light, and the fallen grass blades left behind after being trampled by the murderer had generally maintained their original appearance.
Although there are no clear shapes or patterns in the footprints on this kind of lawn, you can still see the general outline:
"The 'shoe size' of this footprint is relatively small."
"Just judging from the size, the murderer may indeed be a woman."
Lin Xinyi said this, which seemed to confirm Officer Feng Jian's guess.
"Then" Officer Feng Jian asked impatiently:
"The murderer is indeed Mrs. Yamazaki, right?!"
"I don't think that's possible."
It was not Lin Xinyi who denied him, but his colleague Jiang Guling.
Seeing that Feng Jian was about to convict Mrs. Yamazaki excitedly, he finally couldn't hold back and said:
"If Mrs. Yamazaki is the murderer, she still wants to create the illusion that an outsider committed the crime."
"In addition to making traces of breaking through the wall, the most forged thing should be the traces of cabinets at home being turned over and belongings being lost."
"After all, it is better to have the police suspect that an acquaintance committed the crime than to start an investigation based on the deceased's social relationships.
"Leaving the blame on a random burglar who can't be found is the best way to blame a murderer who doesn't want to be noticed."
"Well, that's right."
Officer Feng Jian nodded angrily:
"Then who could the murderer be?"
"How can I know this now?"
"This requires a detailed investigation of the social relationships of the deceased to get some clues."
Lin Xinyi let out a long sigh and looked strange:
"However, please help me make a call and ask the forensics department to send me the equipment as soon as possible."
"It is necessary for me to use some professional means to carefully investigate the scene."
"If unlucky."
He paused slightly, and his smile turned out to be a little difficult.
Even when faced with a vicious organization, Lin Xinyi never showed such a headache.
Because he had already vaguely discovered that the murderer:
"The murderer might be someone we can't afford to offend."
"Someone we can't afford to mess with?"
Not only Kazami, but also Officer Fangtani was a little surprised:
They are the Japanese police!
And the people they can’t afford to mess with?
Is this murderer more terrifying than the organization's killers?
Not to mention organization
As a patriotic pioneer and Japanese captain, Officer Furitani dares to provoke the FBI even if his opponent is the father of the United States!
"Although the killers of the organization are difficult to deal with, at least you can catch them."
"But there's nothing you can do against this kind of murderer."
"Who is so powerful?" Feng Gu and Feng Jian both frowned.
Lin Xinyi was silent for a while and replied:
"minor."
