Chapter 434 Such a shameless person
While the real murderer was fighting Mr. Iida, the arsonist happened to set a fire across the alley.
So he had an idea, threw the body next to the fire scene, and put the blame on the arsonist, allowing the other party to achieve the two goals of "murder and arson".
This is indeed a clever strategy.
"But Takagi, this strategy is actually more clever than you think."
Miwako Sato added calmly:
"Because Asai has previously speculated through investigation that the arsonist may have mental problems."
"In other words, even if we catch the arsonist, given his mental state, he may not be able to defend himself clearly."
"That's it." Takagi Wataru's expression froze:
"No wonder that guy came up with this trick to frame others."
"He must have noticed the mental state of the arsonist at that time and knew that the other person was a delirious lunatic and a perfect target to frame the blame!"
No one would believe what the madman said, and the arsonist couldn't even defend himself.
The police will only think that the person was killed by him.
The real murderer was hidden behind the scenes forever, and no one even knew of his existence.
“What a terrible guy”
Takagi Wataru became increasingly nervous.
In his mind, the real murderer had unknowingly become a cunning, cunning and evil criminal master.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
"Hahaha"
Miwako Sato smiled instead.
She suppressed a smile and shook her head helplessly:
"No, the trick is clever."
"But the murderer was a fool."
Miwako Sato said something in a calm voice that seemed to contradict herself:
"Do you still remember what Manager Lin said before?"
“The more scheming humans are, the more likely they are to fall into unexpected difficulties.”
"Those fancy murderous tricks sometimes make the murderer expose himself faster."
"That's what this case is about:"
She paused slightly and then asked Takagi Sheba:
"Takagi, think about it if you were the murderer"
"You need to simply clean up the indoor scene, move Mr. Iida out of the house, and then kill him in the alley."
"How long will this take?"
"This" Takagi Wataru thought about it carefully: "If the indoor scene is not too messy, it would be easy to clean up."
"But even so, it will take at least 2 or 3 minutes to do so many things, right?"
"yes."
Sato Miwako nodded and asked again:
"After the fire started, how long would it take for passers-by on the road outside to notice the fire in the alley and rush to the alley to join in the fun?"
"And how long did it take for the police officer to arrive at the scene after seeing the fire here?"
The arsonist started the fire with gasoline, and the fire must have spread very quickly.
The police officer from the police station happened to be patrolling nearby at the time. When he saw black smoke coming out and the fire just breaking out, he rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
As for the few citizens who came to watch the excitement, they would only arrive earlier than him.
That is to say
"The real murderer wanted to use tricks to exonerate himself, but instead he forgot what was most precious to him at the time——"
"time."
"By the time he had arranged everything in a hurry, the onlookers and patrolling police officers would have already arrived at the scene."
"How could he run away?"
"Senior Sato, what do you mean?" Takagi Wataru's eyes also lit up quietly: "The murderer didn't have time to escape from the scene?"
"He is now among the witnesses at the scene and is being controlled by us?"
Because the police officers from the local police station arrived in time and worked rigorously.
Therefore, the few citizens who gathered at the scene to watch at the beginning were all controlled at the scene in time.
They are the number one suspects in Sato Miwako's mind.
After coming to this conclusion, she immediately took her follower, Officer Takagi, out of Mr. Iida's house and went to talk to the onlookers.
And Gao Mushe still had a doubt in his mind:
"Sato-senpai, I have another question."
"Didn't you say that the baseball bat was taken away by the murderer and disposed of?"
"But if the murderer didn't have time to escape and was left at the scene by us, then where did that big baseball bat go?"
"He can't keep it to himself, can he?"
"It's very simple."
Sato Miwako pointed to the fire scene turned into ruins next to her:
"That's a wooden baseball bat."
"As long as the murderer throws it into the fire, it will soon burn to nothing."
She answered this last question casually.
Takagi Wataru was also completely convinced and believed her conjecture.
In this way, the two men, accompanied by police officers from the on-site police station, found the onlookers who had been left at the scene.
And after these citizens have been detained by the police until now, they are obviously impatient to wait:
"Officer, when can we leave?"
"We just saw a fire in the alley and gathered around to join in the fun. Is this also illegal?"
One of them, a yellow-haired young man who seemed to know how to get into trouble at first glance, took the lead in shouting at the police officers.
Sato Miwako's expression remained unchanged.
She just asked in a calm tone:
"Who among you was the first to arrive at the scene?"
"Well" the scene suddenly became quiet.
The expression of the yellow-haired young man who had just taken the lead in making trouble suddenly became a little subtle.
The other citizens looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all turned their attention to the little yellow guy:
"It was him. When we arrived in the alley, he was already there."
Cold sweat quietly broke out on the yellow-haired young man's forehead.
"Then what was he doing at that time?" Miwako Sato asked, "Did the police come after that?"
"He seemed to be watching the fun at that time, right?"
"But you're right, officer. As soon as we arrived, the police followed us."
"That's right."
Miwako Sato breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and looked at the nervous young man with yellow hair:
"Sir, are you the murderer?"
"You originally wanted to leave in the chaos after setting up the scene, but you didn't expect that there were police officers patrolling nearby and our police officers could arrive so quickly."
"So, you were forced to stay at the scene and have remained until now."
"You, you" the yellow-haired young man's voice was trembling: "Smelly woman, don't talk nonsense!"
"Stop quibbling." Sato Miwako smiled disdainfully:
"You were left at the scene before you could escape. Do you still have time to deal with the marks left on your body?"
"Don't forget, the deceased Mr. Iida still has scratches on his wrists."
"Is that what you did?"
"If you scratched it, your fingernails would definitely be stained with the skin flakes and blood of the deceased."
"I" the yellow-haired young man was silent for a while.
His ferocious expression turned into panic, fear, and despair in an instant.
And then.
"Yes, I did it."
The yellow-haired young man made a plop and sat softly on the ground:
"But officer."
"I really didn't mean it!"
"That guy almost beat me to death, so I was forced to take a heavy blow!"
In just one second, this arrogant and provocative little yellow-haired boy burst into tears and became pitiful.
Immediately afterwards, he explained in detail in a tearful voice:
It turned out that he was just a thief who broke into the house and did not know the deceased at all.
This time I sneaked into Mr. Iida's house through the window just to steal some belongings.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Iida came home from get off work early and caught him.
He originally planned to let go and call himself to surrender to the police.
But Mr. Iida was unforgiving and wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger and beat him to death.
So, in desperation, he had to resist desperately, and then accidentally killed the other party.
"I don't want to kill anyone. I really don't want to kill someone."
The more the yellow-haired young man cried, the more sad and pitiful he became.
As if he was really a victim forced to defend himself.
"Nonsense!"
Takagi Wataru, who is usually a kind and gentle man, was so angry that he couldn't stand it anymore:
"Mr. Iida was knocked down by you with a baseball bat indoors. After he completely lost his ability to resist, you took him outside and killed him with a dagger."
"How could you not do this on purpose?!"
"I" the yellow-haired young man was speechless for a moment.
He didn't seem to expect that the police would be able to restore his murder process in such detail.
Is this still the Metropolitan Police Department that murderers love most?
Why is it so hard to fool!
"I made those disguises out of desperation."
"But when I accidentally knocked him down with a baseball bat, he was no longer breathing."
"Later, I was afraid that my accidental murder would be exposed, and I was also worried that leaving a baseball bat as the murder weapon would arouse your suspicion."
"So I dragged his 'body' outside and stabbed him again with a knife, pretending to be the arsonist."
"But who would have thought"
"He wasn't dead at that time?"
The yellow-haired young man insisted that he killed Mr. Iida by mistake.
Although this cannot change his crime of murder, it can alleviate the "circumstances" of the crime.
If the court believes that this yellow-haired young man did not intentionally kill someone, it believes that he was forced to defend himself when his life was threatened and accidentally killed someone.
Then the final sentence will definitely be lighter for him.
"You" Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru both fell silent.
None of them expected that this murderer could be so shameless, so shameless that he tried to put the blame on the deceased.
But the problem is
Mr. Iida is dead now.
Although the statement given by the yellow-haired young man cannot be proven, it cannot be falsified either.
If he could find a lawyer as shameless as him to defend himself, he might be able to convince the court to believe his "forced self-defense" argument.
"it is true!"
The yellow-haired young man cried and shouted:
"If you don't believe me, you can check my phone."
"I still have the record of dialing 110 on my mobile phone!"
"I almost wanted to call the police and surrender, but the guy suddenly punched and kicked me, trying to kill me."
As he said that, he actually took out his mobile phone.
There is actually a record of dialing 110.
But it was hung up within a few seconds.
"That guy did it."
"He didn't want me to call the police and surrender. He just wanted to beat me to death!"
The yellow-haired young man cried harder and harder.
Even the onlookers felt a little sympathy for him.
Although he committed the burglary himself, he is guilty first.
But if Mr. Iida really refused to give in to the capital and wanted to take the opportunity to beat people to death for the purpose of venting his emotions, then that would indeed be a bit too much.
With this thought in mind, everyone at the scene looked at the yellow-haired young man, and their eyes became a lot gentler without realizing it.
As a result, the little yellow hair got even more excited:
"It was wrong of me to kill someone, but at that time. If I hadn't struck hard at that time, I would have been beaten to death."
"If you don't believe me, you can look at the injuries on my body."
As he spoke, he took off his shirt in three quick steps, revealing his thin bamboo pole-like upper body.
There were indeed bruises and bruises on his back, and he looked like he had a lot of injuries.
Although it was not to the point of being "covered with bruises", it was enough to show the intensity of the fight at that time.
"Look. Look!"
The yellow-haired young man continued to buy groceries while crying:
"Look what that guy did to me!"
"Yeah I saw it."
Asai Narumi's voice sounded faintly.
He quietly appeared next to Sato Miwako and looked at the murderer with sharp eyes:
"Show your injuries to the forensic doctor yourself."
"You are quite courageous."
