Chapter 436 Asai Narumi wins another victory
On the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
While Miwako Sato was driving, she did not forget to sigh to Narumi Asai who was sitting in the passenger seat:
"Asai, thanks to you this time."
"Yes, Chief Asai."
Takagi Shita also nodded in agreement:
Although the murderer didn't just run away after killing the people, but it was stupid to stay at the scene.
But "stupid" is a relative term.
For the elites of the First Search Division, this kind of murderous trick is not only proven to work every time, but also has to be proven every time.
If Narumi Asai hadn't used forensic knowledge to discover the hidden scars on the deceased's back, it would have been inferred that he had fought with people indoors before his death.
This case might really be settled with the word "accident."
Therefore, Asai Narumi is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this case.
But at this moment, facing the heartfelt praise from his colleagues, he stood there with a dull look on his face, without any reaction at all.
"Asai."
What Miwako Sato realized:
"Are you still feeling sorry for Mr. Iida's misfortune?"
"He is indeed a good man, but it's a pity."
"Um" Asai Narumi suddenly came back to his senses.
He was silent to straighten out his thoughts, and then answered:
"I am indeed thinking about Mr. Iida."
"But it's not just that I feel sorry for him."
"I was thinking."
"Mr. Iida could have called the police directly when he caught the criminal, but he did not do so."
"And Miss Sato, your father."
"The same thing happened to Police Officer Masayoshi Sato back then. He could have informed his colleagues to help, but he still chose to chase the murderer alone."
"Are there any similarities between the two?"
"This" Miwako Sato was slightly startled.
She did not expect that what Asai Nari was currently brooding about turned out to be her father's case.
"Mr. Iida did not notify the police directly because he wanted to give the prisoner a chance to surrender on his own."
"And my father waits"
As she spoke, Miwako Sato's voice choked up again.
Her face showed an expression that was more tangled and confused than Asai Narumi's, but also shocked, unexpected, and suddenly enlightened:
"Yes, 'turn yourself in', 'turn yourself in'."
"Isn't this the 'Chou Si Lang' my father kept calling before he died?"
In Japanese, "Go and surrender" is a homophone to "Shousilang".
"That's it. That's it."
Sato Miwako's voice was trembling slightly.
After today's case and Asai Narumi's reminder, she finally solved the doubt that had troubled her for eighteen years:
"No wonder my father didn't inform his colleagues after he found out the identity of the murderer."
"No wonder he didn't reveal the identity of the murderer even though he had the opportunity to do so before his death."
"It turns out that he wanted to give the murderer a chance to surrender on his own!"
"Just like Mr. Iida did!"
The mystery was solved instantly.
Once the truth behind "Shou Si Lang" is revealed, the subsequent investigation will be smooth:
"Why would my father want to give the murderer a chance to surrender?"
"He is different from Mr. Iida."
"Mr. Iida was convinced by the murderer and sympathized with him only after meeting him in person."
"After my father found out the identity of the murderer, he chose to give him a chance to surrender before even meeting him."
That alone is enough to be confusing.
Not to mention, the murderer in Mr. Iida’s case was just a burglar in the beginning.
In the Chousilang case that year, Masayoshi Sato was chasing a ruthless gangster who robbed with a gun and killed a bank security guard.
The degree of danger between the two is completely different.
It's understandable to sympathize with the thief.
Sympathy for an armed robbery and murderer sounds a bit bizarre.
But Masayoshi Sato chose to give him the opportunity to surrender as soon as he found out the identity of the murderer.
"this means"
Sato Miwako's tone became more and more excited:
"It means that my father knows the murderer!"
"Besides, their relationship must be very good."
"He did not tell his colleagues the identity of the murderer, went to confront the murderer alone, and did not even reveal the identity of the murderer before he died."
"It's all because of."
The voice of the Metropolitan Police Flower was a little choked.
There was a rare hint of vulnerability on her face:
"My father firmly believed until his death that the murderer would repent, listen to his persuasion, and surrender himself."
But the result is obviously not like this.
Eighteen years have passed, and the murderer is still missing.
"But he can't hide any longer."
Asai Narumi quietly spoke out encouragement:
"Sato, since the murderer is an acquaintance of your father who has a very good relationship."
"Then you should be able to confirm the identity of the suspect from your father's friends back then, right?"
"Yeah I can!"
Sato Miwako nodded firmly:
Her father was devoted to public affairs and was not good at dealing with people, so he didn't have many friends.
At that time, most of her father's friends had stable lives and plenty of money, and were not so poor that they would go crazy and rob banks with guns.
Masayoshi Sato’s poor friend 18 years ago.
If you use these conditions to screen and eliminate, the number of suspects will not be many.
In addition, the 550 million in cash that was robbed from the bank has not yet circulated in the market, and it should still be hidden in the hands of the murderer.
The number of suspects is limited, and they still have such an easy-to-find piece of evidence.
This case should not be difficult to solve.
"Thank you" Sato Miwako was so grateful that she could hardly speak: "Asai!"
"so."
"Narumi Asai, just like that, you helped Miss Miwako realize her long-cherished wish?"
At night, the first emergency cadre meeting at the Metropolitan Police Department and Sato Miwako's defense line.
The expression of Commander-in-Chief Shiratori Rensaburo was extremely solemn.
Takagi Wataru, who came to report the situation, also had a complicated expression.
Because it was not long ago.
The case of Chou Silang, who has troubled the policewoman for eighteen years, has been solved by a man who claimed that "as long as he helps her find the murderer, he can agree to any request."
Asai Narimi just gave a few reminders to help Sato Miwako clear up her thoughts.
Miwako Sato tried to look up the suspect who was the most embarrassed and most likely to commit a crime among her father's friends 18 years ago.
I really took out 550 million in cash from the other party's old house.
Everyone gets the stolen goods, and the other party can only plead guilty.
It turned out that although the murderer failed Masayoshi Sato's good intentions, he did not dare to go to the police and surrender.
But he always felt guilty about Sato Masayoshi's death and realized his mistake.
So in the past 18 years, he has not spent the stolen money he robbed, but has made money through hard work and restarted his life.
As a result, the 550 million cash has been completely retained until now.
It became irrefutable evidence against his identity as the murderer.
What's even more fortunate is that because the other party has lived abroad for 3 of the 18 years, according to Japanese regulations, it is not counted in the criminal statute of limitations.
Therefore, the 15-year criminal prosecution period has not expired yet.
After the other party pleads guilty and commits suicide, he must honestly accept punishment for the crimes he committed back then.
The case of Chou Silang was solved so easily.
Miwako Sato's long-cherished wish has finally come true.
This is undoubtedly a happy and perfect ending.
But there are still some male compatriots who are not happy.
They even held a small meeting in hiding in the Metropolitan Police Department to discuss countermeasures:
"Narimi Asai wins again."
"He helped Miss Miwako realize her wish this time, and the situation is getting worse and worse for us."
"Next, we must take necessary intervention measures and intensify our work."
All the male compatriots on Sato Miwako's defense line had solemn faces and depressed moods.
As soon as Shiratori Rensaburo set the tone with a serious expression, they began to speak excitedly:
"These are 9 different action interference plans made by our team A commander to deal with the possible dating behavior of Sato and Asai in the future. Please take a look."
"Our logistics team B is preparing telescopes, bugs, radios and other equipment to support the operations of action team C at any time."
"Okay! I'll go back now to mobilize our team C's field staff before the war!"
"As long as we are here, they can't hold hands!"
Everyone was talking enthusiastically.
"Well," Takagi Wataru interjected in confusion: "Isn't this a little too much?"
The telescope monitors are all on.
He even made a plan of action, ready to interfere with other people's dates at any time.
Why do I feel like I've joined a strange perverted organization?
The more Takagi Wataru thought about it, the more he felt that this was a crime.
So he couldn't help but whispered:
"There's no need to go so far, right?"
"I think Department Chief Asai has nothing to do with Sato-senpai."
"Although he helped Senior Sato find the murderer of the Chousilang case, he did not take this opportunity to ask for anything from her."
"You know, Sato-senpai has said that whoever helps her find the murderer, she can agree to all the requests of that person."
Takagi Sheba said this with envy.
Shiratori Rensaburo sighed helplessly:
"Takagi, you are too naive."
"If Narimi Asai really takes the opportunity to ask for repayment from Miss Miwako, or even directly threatens her, confess her feelings to her."
"Then he's not that difficult to deal with."
"But he helped Miss Miwako without asking for anything in return. This makes Miss Miwako owe him a favor forever."
"This is a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid."
"It is Asai Narumi's most terrifying weapon!"
As he spoke, Officer Shiratiao’s voice trembled a little:
"What a terrible man"
"Miss Miwako is almost in his pocket."
"Hiss" everyone gasped, becoming more and more indignant.
Shiratori Rensaburo, on the other hand, looked at Takagi Wataru while the iron was hot:
"Takagi, the actions of our defense line may be upgraded in the future."
"Will you join or not?"
"This" kind-hearted police officer Takagi still feels that something is wrong with the atmosphere:
"Isn't this a little extreme?"
"There's no need for you to target Director Asai like this, right?"
"No matter what, he helped Sato-senpai catch the murderer of the Chousilang case."
"Shouldn't we be happy for Sato-senpai?"
"Of course we are happy for Miss Miwako,"
Shiratori Rensaburo said without changing his expression:
"For her to realize her long-cherished wish is what we all want to see."
"But this doesn't change the fact."
"The man who helped her realize her wish was not me,"
"Do you understand this feeling? Takagi."
"Uh" Takagi Wataru was speechless for a moment.
Of course he understood this feeling.
I know that I should be happy for the other person, and I am indeed happy for the other person, but I feel a little disappointed in my heart.
This feeling is very complicated and difficult to describe.
Probably like.
"It's like you attending Miss Miwako's wedding, and the groom is not you."
Shiratori Rensaburo gives a perfect metaphor.
Officer Takagi's heart sank, and his originally noble and magnanimous state of mind suddenly fell sharply in sourness.
"Officer Shiratori."
"I will join in all your actions from now on!"
