Chapter 37 fourth quarter

Sergeant Tashiro walked into the Office of the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 on the second floor of the Metropolitan Police Department.The section chief was a bald, sunken-eyed man with curly hair and a tall, thin build. Tashiro briefly described to the section chief the reports of the two police officers dispatched to Hokkaido on business trips. "Because of these circumstances," he began to discuss with the section chief, "until now, the tendency to think that Mayor Haruta was killed by Junji Hayakawa is relatively strong. Should our task force be maintained like this? Or is it decided? Hayakawa Junji is the real murderer and then disband?"

"That's right," the section chief confirmed after asking two or three questions, "The Hokkaido Police Department doesn't have enough evidence to determine whether Junji Hayakawa's death was a suicide or a homicide, right?" "yes." "My opinion is that we will consider disbanding the special case team here after the Hokkaido Police Station makes a clear conclusion. I think the chief criminal investigation may also have the same opinion...you wait." The section chief stood up and raised his hand Adjust the tie and skirt, and then walk out the door.Tashiro waited for about ten minutes, and the section chief came back in a hurry, and then sat on the chair with a "Hi yo". "The director of criminal investigation still has the same opinion. He said that he will wait until the local police make a conclusion... But this does not mean that he fully obeys the decision of the Hokkaido Police Department..."

"Yes." Tashiro nodded, and he also had the same opinion.For example, even if the Hokkaido Police Department determines that Hayakawa Junji committed suicide, it cannot be considered that the "real murderer" who killed Mayor Haruta has committed suicide. "Will the Hokkaido Police Station finally confirm that Hayakawa Junji committed suicide?" The eyes behind the glasses of the section chief turned to Tashiro. "According to Okamoto's report, the other party is generally inclined to this. Anyway, the tie that is considered to be the murder weapon is hidden in Hayakawa's private house."

The section chief didn't seem very happy. "This case is really inexplicable. After listening to your report just now, I always feel that there is something wrong. After Hayakawa entered Beijing, he acted suspiciously and found evidence from his home. All the conditions are complete, but let him People feel that there is a certain key link that has not been penetrated, and there is a lack of convincing and strong evidence. No matter what the Hokkaido Police Department decides, we should carry out the investigation relatively independently." "Understood." "However, there are many difficulties! Hayakawa hid the mayor's belongings, and met a certain degree of decisive conditions."

Indeed, this situation has formed a huge constraint on the detection of this case.Future investigations must be based on this premise. "Hayakawa, who came to Tokyo, behaved very suspiciously, so the view of suicide is very supportive." After all, the section chief still cares about this situation.The section chief's hesitant mood is understandable, and this is actually Tashiro's psychology.He returned home, having trouble calming down that night, restless and restless.Was the mayor brought to the scene alive and killed?Or was it transported to the scene after being killed somewhere?In either case, the method of transport has not yet been clarified.

If he was brought to the scene alive, he was deceived. This is the most reasonable way, and he will never be kidnapped.Especially if the murder was carried out by Junji Hayakawa, this line of thinking would be even more unreasonable.The first is the vehicles used for moving, there is no other possibility except taxis. However, no matter whether he was tricked into going to the scene or suddenly felt murderous when he arrived at the scene, if the mayor took the initiative to go with Hayakawa, the first thing to consider is to take the Keio Line tram to Gaofan Fudo, and then take a taxi. car, or go on foot regardless of the long distance.If you don't take a taxi, take the tram first and then walk there.

However, the second possibility, that is, the mayor was abandoned on the scene after being killed somewhere.In this case, the only way to move is by taxi or chartered car.Now it is hard to imagine that Hayakawa would have an accomplice to assist in the crime. Whether it is a taxi or a chartered car, as long as the body is loaded, it will be found immediately, and the driver will also take the initiative to report the crime.In addition, because the report of the case has been sent to the operators of various departments, as long as there are clues, the operators will definitely report to the police.However, there is no news about this until now. What is the reason?

Could it be that the taxi driver also died, or resigned and returned to his hometown?However, it is true that a driver took a person with the characteristics of Junji Hayakawa to Kanda Ward from the vicinity of the scene.However, this is the time when Hayakawa left the scene after committing the murder. The key issue is how he and the corpse went to the scene. However, the fact that Hayakawa himself returned to Kanda Ward from the scene at this time, no matter how he analyzed it, strongly proved that he was the murderer.There was a difference of about 30 minutes between this operation and the presumed death time of the autopsy, but this was within the allowable error range.

Moreover, apart from Junji Hayakawa, people related to Mayor Haruta had alibi that night.The group of people who came to Beijing stayed together until the end, and those people in the local area did not leave Hokkaido on the night of the tenth.Only Hayakawa had no alibi left. Tashiro had already lay down, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.At this time, Okamoto, who was on a business trip to Hokkaido, mentioned that the local policeman's situation about Ainu language place names suddenly came to mind.Tashiro also likes research in this area, and has a collection of related books.This may be a peculiar professional habit of those police officers who like to investigate diligently with the help of maps.

Here's the book to read for fun when you're having trouble falling asleep.He wanted to read such books when he was thinking about the case and had a splitting headache, so as to liberate his brain to some extent.He made a creaking noise and went to the empty bookshelf to find a book.
