Chapter 32 third quarter

The newspapers continued to report the murderous case of a woman being dismembered. The earliest consecutive discovery of women's left and right legs was in the woods next to the third Keihin National Highway from Tokyo to Yokohama.It was cut from the root of the thigh, and the knife was neat.No shoes.The forensic diagnosis is between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. Two days later, the left and right hands appeared separately, in the grass beside the Tama River.Also naked, same person as the front leg.Judging from the fingers, etc., the victim usually does not work very much, nor is she a busy woman with housework.The fingers are soft, not often soaked in water, and the nails are painted with big red Kodan.

There is a speculation that this woman does not seem to be a housewife, but may be a woman who works in a restaurant or lounge. Next comes the head and carcass.The newspapers regarded it as a rare and brutal murder case in recent years, and wrote about it at length.If it was in the past, there might have been words such as "Fantastic Hunting Event" on the title. The carcass was recovered three days later by a search party far up the Tama River.In that area, if it is daytime, there are still small vehicles and pedestrians on the embankment, but after nightfall, there are few people.The carcass, like a piece of meat from a butcher shop, was placed deep in the weeds, naked.When the legs were found, it was already three days after the murder, so maggots grew in the incision of the carcass.

All that remains is the head.Usually killing and dismembering the body is to hide the identity.The clothes are stripped, but it is the same purpose, and the head is cut off so that people cannot see the face.In the dismemberment cases that occurred in the past, the perpetrators were mostly family members or relatives.It may be the case this time, too, and the police began their investigation under this policy.But the first problem is to find the head.Newspapers have reported on the movements of the police personnel for days.Bars, restaurants, etc. were also checked, and there were surprisingly many women whose whereabouts were unknown.The police are ready to start in this direction.

The scene of the murder is also a problem.It is conceivable that most of them are inside the house, and it is most likely their own house.In the dismemberment case where part of the corpse was thrown into Yaheigou in Yujing, the victim was the murderer's brother-in-law, and the murderer happened in his own house.In another Nagoya dismemberment case, the perpetrators were also relatives who committed the murder in their own house in Osaka.This time, it is also considered that the first scene is likely to be the murderer's own house. According to the results of forensic inspection, the victim was dismembered after being strangled.This is because there is no "living response" to the incision.But even though the cutting was done after the heart had stopped, the amputation of the extremities still involved a considerable amount of blood loss.Judging by the time it takes from the blood stains to the cutting of the limbs, committing a murder in someone else's home is no easy feat.In this case, there must be an accomplice who cooperates with the murderer.

Also, judging from where the hands, legs, and carcass appear, the murderer is motivated.That is to say, the parts of the body were transported by car and dumped at several different locations.The part of the Tama River should be the road where the car was parked on the earth embankment, and the hands and the carcass were disposed of at the same night.The legs found in the forest next to Keihin National Highway No. 3 should have been taken there by car before then. Since there have been multiple reports on the case in the past few days, it was expected that someone would report to the police, but unexpectedly, none.If the murderer is a relative, naturally no one will report it, so this clue is even more powerful.As for the cause of the murder, it is speculated that it was caused by some kind of complicated situation in the family.

One day, a young woman brought a report to the task force: "I don't know if it has something to do with this dismemberment case. About two weeks ago, I was invited to a car by a strange middle-aged gentleman on the streets of Shinjuku. It was a medium-sized private car, and I didn't pay attention to the number. Man He was about forty-five or six years old, with black hair, no glasses, and a beard. At that time, it was already eleven o'clock in the night, and the man stopped his car on a lonely section of Ome Highway and gave me a beer. Then the car drove forward again, but I felt so sleepy that I soon lost consciousness.

"When I woke up, it looked like a ward in a hospital. I was lying on the bed. The ward was very narrow, with curtains of rose patterns. There was no other furniture. There was a small table with drawers, which is common in wards, beside the pillow. There are pus basins and medicine bottles. The light is on. I really don't understand it. But I immediately remembered that I got in a car with a middle-aged man. Maybe he was injured in a car accident and was taken to the hospital. But I was not injured. , nor does it look like there is a fracture. "At this time, a man in white wearing a big mask that covered half of his face came out. It seemed to be a doctor, but from the shape of his head, I could tell it was the man who invited me to the car. He said he would replace me I operated. He had a huge scalpel in his hand. There was no assistant or nurse. I thought I would be killed. When I opened my voice and wanted to yell, he would kill you if he yelled. That look is really scary, I I still can't forget it.

"I begged him not to kill me. He looked at me for a moment, removed the pus basin from the stage, grabbed my wrist, and was about to poke the scalpel in. I was terrified, and desperately begged him to spare me. This The person wearing the mask seemed to be moved with pity, and said: Well, I will let you go back this time, but you must not mention it to others, or you will be killed by me. Next time you come to the hospital, you will not be able to survive. I agreed he. "The man put down the scalpel and suddenly gave me another injection in my wrist. I was trembling with fear, and he told me not to be afraid, it was sleeping pills, and I will send you back to the original place, but in order not to let you know the path , so let you sleep. In less than five minutes, I lost consciousness again."

It's a strange story.The woman said she was a private prostitute who solicited customers in the dark back streets of Shinjuku.I thought it was a high-class passenger, so I took that car, and this was the reason for my bad luck.The special case team hoped to confirm her words, so they found out that what she said happened the next morning, she was sleeping under the eaves, and she was discovered and reported to the police station.There is a record in the police station, saying that she was drunk and fell asleep on the street corner.In fact, she did not dare to tell the truth because she was severely warned by a man wearing a mask the night before.

The task force attached great importance to this matter, thinking that it had something to do with the dismemberment case, and began to focus on the "hospital" she mentioned, because she was sure that she was taken to the ward. According to her confession, the man was very Possibly a psychosexual, i.e. a sadist.If this is the case, neither the injury nor the murder has any special motives, and the victim is only a woman that the assailant likes, and there is no special relationship.That is to say, it doesn't matter if he meets a woman on the street, as long as it suits him. Of course, there are inexplicable places in her statement.She said she was taken to the hospital, but can the hospital do this kind of thing?Carrying the sleeping woman from the car into the hospital, even if it was late at night, someone in the hospital must have seen it.It was the same when she was released. The woman was given a sleeping shot and was falling asleep.It is necessary to pick up the sleeping woman, pass through the corridor, and go out to the door.Is it possible to completely avoid the eyes and ears of others?In the middle of the night in the hospital, there will still be staff on duty and guards.

That said, the task force is not denying her claims outright.Next, the police published the woman's statement to the press. Ueda Kiichi saw the report about this case and remembered the illegal building at No. 247 Sugihara-cho in this district. That illegal building was automatically demolished by Hope Construction five or six days ago.I thought that Gao Guo would definitely continue to mess around, which would make the officials very troubled.Ueda expected to use the usual delaying tactics to let buyers move in after a year, making the construction stocks surrender.This is exactly the style of Gao Guo in the past.It is surprising why it was dismantled so quickly.It was only about two months after the red note was pasted. Once demolished, no matter how crude the building is, the damage caused is still considerable.Could it be that Gaoguo was sure that the district office would enforce it this time, so it was demolished in time?Maybe Gao Guo thought that he wanted to eat this Jianzao meal, so as not to make the construction stocks have a bad impression of him, so he did this? Although Ueda once thought so, but because the high pot was removed too simply, he felt a little unusual.If he is willing to be so obedient, then the tactics of empty city plans, empty applicants, etc. these days are too much, and the house has been completed more than 90%. Ueda hadn't seen the inside of the house—he looked back shortly after he went up to the building, but at that time there were only bones, and the partitions, decorations, etc. hadn't been started at all.There is a blueprint, but it is just a cover and cannot be taken seriously at all. What if a room like a hospital room was built in that building for sale?From the newspaper reports, he thought of this. Teach a woman to sleep, and drive it to the house that is 90% complete at dawn.There is a room in the house that looks like a hospital room.You don't have to.Ask a carpenter to do it, and the high pot can be done by one person.Move a bed and hang a curtain with flowers on the wall.The table with drawers that is common in general wards is the only prop.It doesn't matter if there is nothing else.In terms of electricity, I remember that it has been constructed. Then, hang the woman and dismember her body.It is equivalent to an empty house, you can have no worries.Blood stains are not difficult to clean.Then the dismembered corpses were taken out in a car and discarded in several places. After all the crimes were completed, the house was demolished in order to eliminate the evidence.Since the District Office had already ordered the demolition, no one suspected that there was anything suspicious about its demolition.Of course, carpenters and some workers are needed for demolition, but at this time, the high pot can remove all evidence. The strange thing is why the murderer spared another woman before committing the crime?Wasn't she also almost dismembered?Could it be that the murderer only felt pity for her? Ueda Ki denied this idea.No, he let her go on purpose.It is for the next murder, so that the investigators mistakenly believe that the crime was committed in a room like a ward.The murderer had already imagined that the released woman, despite severe threats and warnings, would still share her strange experience with the police.Maybe the equipment in the "ward" was just for this purpose, but it had already been dismantled when the murder was actually committed. But... Ueda looked back and thought: Could the high pot of Hope Construction be such a cruel person?Is he one of those psychosexuals? It cannot be determined that people should not be judged by their appearance, but Ueda always feels that Gao Guo is not this kind of person.That's right, it's a vicious construction and sales business, that's right, cunning and treacherous.However, this kind of little villain would probably not commit such a heinous murder.So could the murderer be someone more like a kind gentleman? Ueda Kiichi then thought of the gentleman in his early fifties who was walking leisurely in the alley wearing a British sweater and trousers, smoking a pipe and holding a big wolfhound when he came home from the illegal construction site that day.Not only did I think of him, but I also thought at the time that the anonymous informant who repeatedly called the class to "declare his feelings" was this old gentleman? In order to annihilate the evidence of the crime, if you want to demolish the house, you need an illegal demolition order from the Construction Division of the District Office. Because more than 90% of the buildings have been completed, it would be unnatural and suspicious if you demolished them casually.In this case, if the inspection unit of the construction department repeatedly ordered corrections or demolition, the destruction would be reasonable.In order to do this, someone in the house in that building must make an anonymous phone call to "declare". Moreover, such calls have to be made earlier.Because according to the past practice, the inspectors went to the scene three times and four times, and it was impossible for the industry to obey.It is also not natural to give an order when the house is almost finished, and enforcement will follow.Therefore, it must be a headache for the inspectors.So the official announcement was issued again and again. Uehara thought that in addition to the murder suspect, there must also be an accomplice to report.Of course, the same person is fine, because there is no need to worry about being recognized when making a call, and the voice can also be faked. With this in mind, a question arises.According to the released woman, it was a man in his mid-fifties with black hair, no glasses, and a beard who asked her to get into the car and put her in the hospital room.If it is Gao Guo, no matter how he dresses up, he is in his thirties, and his hair is five cents long and crew cut.Then this person must not be a high pot. So what if it was the rich guy with the dog?He has gray hair and wears black-rimmed glasses.He was also in his fifties. If he had dyed his hair and removed his glasses, he would have become the character described by the woman.If you dye your hair black, you will look younger. But... Ueda thought again: If this assumption is true, then the gentleman and the construction and sales person Gao Guo are accomplices.Even if the gentleman is a patient of perverted sexual desire, why would he cooperate with someone like Gao Guo? Ueda Kiichi immediately went to investigate the inside story of Hope Construction.He understood not so long ago that Hope Construction was on the verge of collapse.The turnover of the construction and sales industry is extremely difficult, and a small setback can also lead to collapse. Since the gentleman is a rich man, wouldn't it be possible for the builder and seller to provide the necessary assistance in order to obtain funding? —— Ueda Kiichi went to the task force after thinking hard and hard.
