Chapter 439 Jiang Gu Ling’s Gratitude
"Mr. Yuan Jiaming's death may be related to a serial murder case?"
"Besides him, are there any other dead?"
"That's right."
Jianggu Ling pointed to the pile of information underneath and explained to Lin Xinyi:
"This is a file from another case that is suspected to be related to this case."
"Oki Iwamatsu, male, 42 years old, Nishitama City Councilor."
"He was found dead the night before yesterday in a luxury hotel suite in the Twin Towers skyscraper in Nishitama City."
"He has a close relationship with Ms. Mio Tokiwa, the chairman of Tokiwa Computer Company."
"Mr. Hara Jiaming, as the senior executive of Joban Computer Company, Chairman Joban's most trusted arm, also has a close relationship with Representative Ogi."
"The three of them have become very close in the past two years because of the construction of the twin-tower skyscraper."
"Oh I know about this twin tower skyscraper."
"And this Jiban Group. No wonder it sounds so familiar."
Lin Xinyi came to his senses:
The twin-tower skyscraper, just like the previous crystal building, is an architectural wonder created by wealthy locals on a whim.
The building was recently completed and was being promoted for the opening of the hotel, so it was constantly being broadcast on TV.
Lin Xinyi was also somewhat impressed by it.
And what impressed him even more was...
When we were traveling together and discussing the recently popular Twin Towers skyscraper, Uncle Maori once said two things casually:
Ms. Mio Tokiwa, the chairman of the Tokiwa Group who funded the construction of the Twin Towers skyscraper, was actually his college classmate.
It is said that the wealthy lady had a good relationship with him before.
However, the two parties have not contacted each other for so many years.
And Uncle Maori hasn't done anything famous yet. He catches cats and dogs and mistresses every day. Compared with Chairman Tsukiwa, who has a lot of business and is in the upper class.
It's like Brother Xun and Runtu have grown up, almost separated by a whole world.
Otherwise, Uncle Maori might still be remembered by this rich old classmate and invited to attend the opening ceremony of this twin-tower skyscraper.
"etc."
Lin Xinyi shuddered quietly:
That is to say
The Tokiwa Group was so close to inviting Conan to their door?
If Conan really goes, will he have a chance to bump into Representative Oki and Mr. Hara Yoshiaki?
Thinking about it more carefully, Chairman Tokiwa is a college classmate of Kogoro Mori, which seems to be a dangerous profession.
"No wonder people are killed"
"It seems that we need to send someone to keep an eye on Miss Tokiwa Mio next. Maybe we can catch the murderer directly."
"Mr. Erlin, what did you say?"
"Ahem. It's okay."
Lin Xinyi resisted the urge to use Ke Xue to solve the case.
In order to prevent even weirder rumors from spreading within the Metropolitan Police Department, he corrected his attitude, showed off the professional and scientific qualities of a technical investigator, and asked Fangtani Rei:
"Officer Fangtani, do you have any basis for judging that these two cases are serial killings by the same murderer?"
"Just because the two deceased people knew each other and had a close relationship?"
"Of course it's not that simple."
Jiang Guling shook his head decisively:
"We judged it to be a serial murder case because there was an object deliberately left behind by the killer as a 'marker' at the scene of both murders:"
"Painting bowl."
As he spoke, he took out two photos from the file.
These two photos were taken at two murder scenes, but the same thing appears:
A clay bowl that looked like a small teacup was smashed to the ground.
"This is the bowl used by ancient painters to hold paint."
"The murderer left this painting bowl as his mark of murder at both scenes. He obviously wanted people to think that he was responsible for both cases."
Fangtani Rei's tone was very calm when he explained.
But Lin Xinyi heard some overtones from it:
"'The murderer wanted people to think that he was responsible for both cases.'"
"Officer Furuya, what you mean is that in your opinion, these two cases were not committed by the same person?"
"Haha. Mr. Lin's ears are really sharp."
"Yes, from a personal perspective, I do think so."
Jiang Guling paused for a moment and listed his evidence one by one:
"First, the murder weapon that killed Representative Omu was a knife, and the murder weapon that killed Hara Jiaming was a gun."
"Second, the death scene of Representative Ogi was in a mess, with obvious signs of struggle."
"Mr. Yuan's death scene was relatively clean, with no signs of struggle. However, the cabinets in the study and bedroom were opened by the murderer, leaving traces of rummaging for items."
"The murder weapon used by the murderer, the method of killing, and the style of committing the crime were all different."
"It's not like the same person is committing crimes in a row."
"And besides this reason, the most important thing is:"
He stretched out his hand and gently clicked on the photo of Yuan Jiaming's death scene:
"The fragments of the painting bowl found at the scene of Mr. Yuan's death did not have much blood on them."
"This fragment obviously fell on a pool of blood, but it only had a little blood stain on it."
"this means"
"By the time the fragments fell onto the pool of blood, the bloodstains had completely dried."
"The murderer threw the painting bowl on the blood stains at the scene some time after Yuan Jiaming's death."
"This" Lin Xinyi was slightly startled:
When the murderer left the painting bowl, the blood of the deceased had dried.
Doesn’t this mean that the murderer who left the painting bowl entered the scene long after Yuan Jiaming’s death?
"Officer Fangtani, you have found the evidence."
"Why are you here asking me for help?"
Lin Xinyi's eyes were full of doubts.
Fangtani Rei came to ask him for help in order to help him identify whether this case was a serial murder case or an assassination from an organization.
Now that we have this painting bowl as evidence to prove that the two cases were not carried out by the same person, why do we need his help to prove it?
"Because the evidence is not sufficient."
Fang Guling sighed helplessly:
"The weather was hot last night, the air humidity was not high, and the blood evaporated very quickly."
"We have done experiments and it only takes ten minutes for a pool of blood to dry up completely after being splashed on the ground."
"And at the death scene of Mr. Yuan Jiaming, there were traces of items being turned over."
"This means that after killing Mr. Yuan Jiaming, the murderer probably stayed in his house for a period of time, busy looking for some items."
"In this case, the murderer first killed Mr. Yuan Jiaming, and then went to search for the items. By the time he finished looking for the items, more than ten minutes might have passed."
"In the end, the murderer left the painting bowl behind before leaving."
"The blood has dried by this time, and it is normal for the painting bowl to not be stained with blood."
"This" Lin Xinyi reacted belatedly.
Indeed, he was careless.
The speed at which blood dries up is closely related to blood volume, temperature, humidity and other conditions, and cannot be judged based on experience alone.
The murderer could have stayed at the scene for a while after killing the person, then left the painting bowl and left.
The Japanese police found no definite evidence that Yuan Jiaming had any connection with the organization.
so.
Compared to the "ethereal" black organization
"My colleagues are more willing to believe that this was done by the serial killer who left the painting bowl."
Officer Fangtani's tone was a little complicated.
Lin Xinyi also understands this complexity.
Probably it was the feeling of powerlessness he felt when working in the forensics class in front of his pig teammates: "Everyone is drunk but I am sober":
"Actually, after the painting bowl left by the same murderer was discovered at the scene, my colleagues had no intention of pursuing this case."
"They all thought this was just an ordinary criminal case and had nothing to do with the organization."
"It was me who felt something was wrong and persisted so that the investigation could continue."
"But this kind of 'detective's intuition' cannot be used as evidence."
"Scientific and reliable evidence must be produced to characterize the case without leaving any doubt."
"So, Mr. Lin."
"I'm coming to find you."
Jiang Guling smiled slightly, his eyes a little more hopeful.
"I see."
Lin Xinyi nodded solemnly and praised:
"Officer Furuya, there are not many good and responsible police officers like you left."
The Japanese police are usually only responsible for handling confidential cases.
Just look at how arrogant their opponents are in flying armed helicopters in Tokyo.
Their work must be quite stressful.
As for work attitude
If you have a good attitude and can make the public security in Tokyo so bad, isn't that even more hopeless?
Might as well assume they have a bad work attitude.
Therefore, after discovering that Yuan Jiaming's case might just be an ordinary criminal case that had nothing to do with the organization, this group of secret police officers immediately became the handlers and prepared to hand the case back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Fortunately, there are still people like Jiang Guling who are not afraid of trouble.
"Haha. I'm just doing my duty as a Japanese public security officer."
Officer Fangtani smiled modestly:
"Speaking of which, I have the opportunity to take over this case, and I have to thank you, Manager Lin."
"If you hadn't given us the opportunity to learn the art of disguise, I probably wouldn't be sitting here."
Jianggu Ling usually works several jobs.
Each job can't interact with each other.
If it were in the past, when he didn't have this perfect disguise skill, he wouldn't dare to act like a police officer in Jianggu every day, helping his old employer's police investigate cases like he does now.
Otherwise, if you happen to be caught by a colleague from another job, it will be completely ruined.
And Jiang Guling was not being polite to Lin Xinyi.
He expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart:
Because he has been in the dark for a long time, he really enjoys the feeling of being a policeman in the sun.
At least, he was far away from those cruel and treacherous men in black.
Looking at the upright and awe-inspiring Manager Lin in front of him, a like-minded person like him, Mr. Fangtani seemed to recall his green years when he was still studying in the police academy.
As I thought about it, I even felt a little better:
"Mr. Lin, let's continue investigating the case!"
Officer Furuya said enthusiastically.
.It’s still stuck but I can’t make it through the first update. I’ll stay up late to code the second update and post it tomorrow morning.
