Chapter 9 third quarter

Having said that, of course, the case and the conversation with the lawyer cannot be casually disclosed to a third party, so Ms. Chang introduced Achi to the father of the suspect Shinya Teshima, hoping that he would attend and explain the whole incident. Pop in after the cafe closes.Xiao Zhi is a current police officer, so she couldn't be there. She whispered to me "I'll ask you later" and left. On the one hand, it was also because of the rain that there were very few customers that day, and the Pierre Cafe was already empty after 8:30 in the evening.Miss Chang arrived at nine o'clock on time, and came in after checking the situation in the store.

The man in the suit who followed her carefully put away the umbrella.He is Teshima Shinya's father, Teshima Hiroshi. I heard that he is in his fifties, but because his hair is almost gray, he looks older than his actual age.His gray suit and plain tie, reminiscent of a Showa-era NHK news anchor, further aged him. As soon as Teshima-san entered the store, he put his feet together and bowed deeply to Chi and I, who shouted "Welcome", as the most salute. "I'm so sorry that you both have troubled my stupid son this time." I was startled, and looked at Mr. Teshima's white hair stiffly, and Achi who was next to him didn't say a word.

"Uh... no, you don't need to." I put down the dishes I was wiping. "We just want to ask what happened." "Really Sorry." Teshima-san's drooping head sank lower as if diving, and then he finally straightened up.He lifted his face, deep lines carved between his brow and brow. "Uh, Mr. Teshima." Ms. Chang pointed at the bar counter at a loss, asking Mr. Teshima to go over and look at us. "Mr. Aji, uh, can we have tea?" "Okay, of course." I didn't know how to react, and hurriedly followed Miss Chang's words to ease the atmosphere and continued: "Well, how about treating the two of you to drink... roselle tea that can relieve fatigue? Ah Zhi, take that out .”

"Ok." Azhi immediately started boiling water. "Excuse me." Mr. Teshima took a seat under the instruction of Ms. Chang, followed by an awkward silence.The rain outside was the same as during the day, and the low sound of rain continued. "A summary of the incident—" Miss Ma sat down next to Mr. Teshima, and at the same time paid attention to Achi who was preparing roselle tea. Azhi was busy with his hands, glanced at her briefly, and nodded to her.Because of his occupational disease, he can listen carefully to what others say while he is busy with his work; and Mr. Teshima reacts so strongly, it is not good to show an active listening attitude, so as long as I am at the bar is enough.

"Last week, on Sunday, June 9th, in a building in Kotobuki, the body of a 37-year-old worker in a factory in the city, Mr. Nan Yiro, was found. He was beaten to death on the head with a weapon suspected to be a hammer." Miss Chang took out a notepad and opened it, and began to explain in a tone like a TV anchor. "The first person who found the body was Mr. Teshima Hiroshi's eldest son, Mr. Teshima Shinya. The time when the body was discovered was 9:30 in the morning. According to the police investigation, the time of death was presumed to be about 30 minutes before the discovery of the body. Shinya-san didn't have an alibi during that time, so he was directly listed as a suspect from the person involved in the case, and is under investigation... Ah, thank you."

Achi who was on the side brought cups filled with roselle tea to the two sitting at the bar, and I also served cheesecake to match. Mr. Teshima bowed his head tremblingly. "The details are still unclear, but the police believe that the motive of the criminal is hatred, not robbery or money. The victim, Mr. Nan Yilang, is the director of Mr. Shinya's company. It is known that he often goes fishing with Mr. Shinya on holidays. As a subordinate Mr. Shenye couldn't refuse, and he was often scolded at work, we think these are probably one of the reasons why the police locked him in." Ms. Chang explained clearly.She looked forward while explaining, and occasionally looked at the documents at hand, really resembling a TV anchor.

"However, judging from the delay in arrest by the police, it can be inferred that they have not yet found enough evidence to apply for a warrant. There are also other people in the company who have been punished by the deceased. It can be speculated from the questions during the interrogation that the evidence One is that the murderer smoked at the scene of the crime. Since Mr. Shinya does not smoke, this has become the biggest crux of the problem.” "Mr. Shinya should deny committing the crime. Of course, ordinary people would think that in this case, the real culprit should be someone else."

After finishing speaking, Miss Dechang also nodded. "However, Shinya-san doesn't seem to be able to think of anyone else who might be the culprit." Azhi next to me just listened silently, so I asked: "Mr. Teshima, have you ever heard your son mention related matters? For example, dissatisfaction or disputes at work, etc." However, Teshima-san just lowered his head sadly. "I'm sorry...he didn't mention any of these things." "Ah, tea and cake, please, and you can talk while you eat." "Okay." Mr. Teshima didn't make a move, because the atmosphere was not suitable for doing so.

"I'm sorry... I didn't expect that this matter would not only trouble Miss Chang, but also outsiders would be implicated." "It's nothing like that, please don't think that way. We, uh, just..." I looked at Azhi next to me.So, how did Miss Dechang introduce me and Azhi to this father? "The units we have worked in in the past are particularly concerned about people involved in such things, and I think they may provide some reference." Still unable to relax, Mr. Teshima bowed his head again to express his apology. The adjective "habitual panic" came to my mind.

"I used to tell him not to trouble others when he was a child." Teshima-san said with a defeated expression. "This kid can't do anything for long. Even so, he was very obedient and obedient when he was in elementary school. He was a good boy...He stole things not long after he entered junior high school, and the snacks were too much for one person to carry... …Maybe by doing that, you are expressing your dissatisfaction with your parents.” Azhi seemed to be listening very carefully, so I also listened attentively. Although he was still a child when he stole things, once he faced someone with a criminal record, the police's eyes would suddenly become severe. The reason for keeping a close eye on Shinya Teshima probably had something to do with his criminal record.I ask straight to the point:

"Has he caused any trouble afterwards?" "He is born without the guts to make trouble. Conversely, he is also a person who lacks fighting spirit... He worked hard to get into the high school, but he didn't want to go to school after a while. In the end, he was repeated because of insufficient attendance days, and then suspended school. I told Since he doesn't go to school, he goes to work and finds him a job as a newspaper vendor, and he doesn't want to go after a short time." "It's not about getting into trouble, is it?" "About that," Teshima-san sighed heavily. "When that job ended, he silently resigned. Later, when he went to work in a supermarket, he said he was very happy at first, but he didn't want to go after a while...he said, 'I don't want to do that kind of job'." Miss Chang put her finger on her forehead with a troubled expression on her face. "No matter where I go to work, there is only dissatisfaction, and this time it even caused such a big commotion... It seems that I can't do without my mother's care..." "Mr. Teshima," Miss Chang interrupted him. "He has a criminal record and his job cannot last. None of this has anything to do with this case. No, even a person with a lot of criminal records still has the right to claim that he didn't do something he didn't do." Teshima-san looked down. I saw Azhi squint his eyes, his expression seemed to have caught his attention, what was it? "And this kind of thing has nothing to do with father-son single-parent families." Ms. Chang turned to Mr. Teshima and said clearly: "Whether you have a single parent or no parents, your child can still grow up on a down-to-earth basis. Your son is just more lively. , please don’t think he’s worthless.” Mr. Teshima may have noticed that Miss Ma's reaction was not quite right, so he finally relaxed his expression, bowed his head and said, "I'm so sorry..." "You don't need to worry about your son." I was troubled by the tense atmosphere, so I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Since there is no evidence sufficient to arrest him, he should not be prosecuted. As long as there are new suspects, he will be released." Come out. I can tell you privately that the police also suspect that your son is not a criminal, and I heard this directly from relevant police officers." Although I heard Xiao Zhi say it, it is not a lie.I propped my hands on the bar and leaned forward with my upper body. "Don't worry. As long as we work hard, we can wash away your son's suspicion. After all, he didn't do anything." As I said it, I thought to myself: "Oops, I'm talking too much." When I was involved in a case in the past, I had learned from Xiao Zhi not to promise easily.I squinted at the side, and Azhi's eyes seemed reserved, as if he was very troubled. It seems that Mr. Teshima hasn't talked to his son Shinya Teshima for several years, but we still couldn't find anything worthy of reference afterward.After saying that we will entertain, Mr. Teshima still insisted on paying for the cake without giving change, and then bowed his head and left. Before he left, he even left Miss Chang's share of the meal expenses.Ms. Ma sent Mr. Teshima out, and when she came back, the store was silent for a while.It's still raining. "Really Sorry……" Probably due to the influence of Mr. Teshima bowing his head too frequently, Ms. Chang also bowed her head to apologize. "At first I just wanted to ask... No, I didn't intend to do that at first, I didn't expect..." "It's okay, and..." Before I could speak, Ah Zhi had already said to Miss Chang: "Thank you." "Huh? You're welcome..." Miss Chang seemed not to know how to answer, and fiddled with her bangs embarrassingly. Just now she said to Mr. Ojima: "Whether it is a single parent or no parents, children can still grow up down-to-earth." Probably because we once told her that our family is also a father-son single-parent family.His mother passed away when Azhi was two years old. Since then, his father has been responsible for all things such as work, housework, and child care. Therefore, we have no position to refute when the other party says that a father-son single-parent family cannot raise decent children. "Hey hey." There was a sudden sound in the toilet, Miss Chang turned her head stiffly, the toilet door creaked like a horror movie, slowly opened... Xiao Zhi walked out. "Soji Police Department, you can't refuse now." "Naoi-san." Xiao Zhi slipped out from behind the door and waved to Miss Chang. "Oh, I was just thinking, maybe I can hear something that can be used as a reference, but it's all in the investigation report I just heard." Miss Chang looked at us, and I looked away. "Uh... I told her no." "I was just planning to hide and eavesdrop." Xiao Zhi sat down next to the surprised Ms. Chang, the chair that Mr. Teshima had just sat on. "A serving policeman can't eavesdrop on a conversation between a lawyer and a client, right?" "But you still listened." Miss Chang sighed. "I'm the only one who eavesdropped on your speech. I'm really sorry. Let me also tell you the information the police have." Xiao Zhi's tone of voice was obviously not apologetic at all. "Miss Lizi's inferences just now are all correct. The reason why the police suspect Tejima Shinya is because of his relationship with the victim, he was the first person to find the body, and he did not have an alibi at the estimated time of death. That's the main thing. Ah, there are also eyewitnesses who confirmed that a man in his twenties or thirties entered the room at the murder scene, but there is no exact time, so that person is Teshima Shinya? Or the real murderer who visited earlier? Two kinds The possibilities make sense." Nao started to eat the cheesecake that Mr. Teshima had not touched, and put a large piece of cake into his mouth. "Makoto Teshima was also asked to go fishing on the day of the incident, so he originally planned to go to the victim's house." Xiao Zhi said while eating cheesecake. "It has become a regular job every week, and most of his colleagues in the company know about it. That is to say, someone knows that he will go to the deceased's house, so it is very likely that he will take the opportunity to blame him who was the first to find the body." "Your statement may indeed be true." I also said, "If Mr. Shinya is taking a vehicle, it is reasonable without an alibi. In addition, the estimated time of death is nine o'clock, which is thirty days before Mr. Shinya called the police. Minutes, this is also very strange? If he is the prisoner, why did he stay at the scene for thirty minutes?" "Yes, as expected of the Soji Police Department." "Don't bring out that set again." I folded my arms. "But he was suspected by the police. Is there any other basis?" "Not without it." Xiao Zhi glanced at Miss Chang, and Miss Chang got up and said: "Ah, wouldn't it be better for me to leave for a while?" "No, no, it's okay." Xiao Zhi waved his hand exaggeratedly, and took out a brown envelope from his bag with the other hand. "Hey, don't tell anyone else I brought this out." "what?" Xiao Zhi looked at the brown envelope on the table.Azhi came to the side, and Miss Chang also looked at the envelope. "The murder scene was the building where the victim Mr. Nan Yilang lived. His home seemed to have been turned over, but the scene was not particularly messy, and wallets, credit cards and other property were not touched. During the investigation, a laptop was found in the cabinet. The instruction manual and guarantee letter, but did not see the computer, so we wondered if it was taken by the prisoner.” The laptop was taken away, why?The prisoner did not take property, so the computer was not taken for money.If the other party wants a certain data in the computer, shouldn't it be enough to copy it? "That is to say, does the prisoner want to delete a certain data in the computer?" "Yes, that's it." Xiao Zhi ate the remaining half of the cheesecake in one bite, and opened the envelope while explaining inarticulately. "This is a copy of Mr. Nan's notepad found after searching the room." Before I reached out, Miss Dechang had already taken the envelope, took out the photo inside, and placed it on the bar.In the photo is a photocopy of the page of the itinerary of the notepad. The date is only marked with 〇, or an X that does not know what it means. our attention. 6/9 (Daan) Payment Term T "Payment deadline..." I muttered unconsciously.What exactly is the deadline?And who is that "T" referring to? ——Wait, the English abbreviation of "Teshima" is also "T". I raised my eyes and saw A Zhihe's Miss Chang was still looking at the photos, probably thinking the same as me. "That is to say, the prisoner was threatened by Mr. Nan. The content of the threat is in Mr. Nan's computer. If someone sees it, he will find that he has a motive to kill, so steal the computer?" "Judging from the situation at the scene, Mr. Nan let the prisoner enter the house, and then he was beaten to death from behind. Perhaps the prisoner said: 'I brought money.' So Mr. Nan let the murderer enter the house, so the situation is reasonable." Miss Chang raised her face. "However, there are many people with the English abbreviation T, aren't they? It doesn't prove that this person is related to the case, and it may be completely irrelevant to the payment deadline. Besides, it may not be the collection deadline for the money Mr. Nan Yilang lent, but It's the time by which he must pay." "Of course there is such a possibility." Xiao Zhi heroically drank the cold roselle tea and put the cup on the table. "Assuming that Mr. Shinya is the criminal, after killing Mr. Nan, he took away the computer, murder weapon and other things that could be used as evidence and then returned to the scene, pretending to be the first person to discover——If this is the case, it is speculated It is reasonable to call the police 30 minutes after the time of death. Besides, we also have the testimony of other people in the company. "Makoto Teshima can't hold his head up in front of Mr. Minami." This situation is not simply because of Minami. Mr. Nan is his boss. What if Mr. Nan grasped and threatened him because of his weakness? For example, he stole in the past, or he resigned without any major reason. As long as it is exposed in the company, there will be It may affect whether to stay or not." "Is it possible that he was threatened by the deceased for money for such a trivial matter? Moreover, if Mr. Shinya Teshima is a person who resigns 'without any major reason', he will not be troubled by the exposure of this matter in the company, and he will succumb to the This kind of intimidation is unreasonable, isn't it? After all, he even quit the supermarket job that he once thought was 'easy'. If his previous work experience is exposed and he will be fired, he should not care. Besides, based on this Dismissal for that reason is inherently illegal." Probably noticing that she was too involved unconsciously, Miss Chang coughed softly and sat down on the chair again. The scene in front of me is really like a duel between prosecutors and lawyers.The two parties that appear to be opposites on the surface should in fact be regarded as cooperative relations.Xiao Zhi grinned. "It's really bad. Of course what you said is also an idea." Ah Zhi, who was listening by my side, slumped his shoulders, embarrassed by the court battle unfolding before his eyes. "Of course the police suspected whether Mr. Nan had any suspicions with other people in the company. First of all, we confirmed the mobile phone call records of the victim, Mr. Nan Yilang. If he had threatened the prisoner, of course he also called." Xiao Zhi moved his index finger along the edge of the teacup Draw a circle. "There are five people who have left call records in the past three months. One is a woman. I think it is probably Mr. Nan's girlfriend. She is petite, and her wrist strength and size cannot kill Mr. Nan, so she cannot commit the crime. One of the other four is known to be in Osaka, so we excluded them. The remaining three are all from the company..." Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked back and forth between Azhi and me. "The English abbreviation of these three names is T. One is Mr. Teshima Shinya, and the other two are Tachikawa Haruto and Toyama Reya, both of whom are newcomers in the company. But—" Xiao Zhi waved his index finger On the edge of the glass, he looked straight up at Azhi. "Both of them had alibi." Xiao Zhi and Ah Zhi's eyes met for two or three seconds, and Ah Zhi immediately said, "You want me to check their alibi?" "More than that, maybe you will find other suspects outside of our locked range. On the contrary, if there is definite physical evidence, it can prove that Mr. Shinya Teshima is the criminal." At the same time Miss Chang narrowed her eyes, Xiao Zhi also said to her: "For you who are defending him, it should be the same, right? Rather than letting us find evidence that the man was a homicide, it is better for him to admit and behave as soon as possible. It's more efficient to show introspection, isn't it? If he thinks he can get away with not admitting it, but new evidence is found, and the responsible lawyer can't fight back, so losing the lawsuit will also leave a stain on the lawyer's reputation, right? ?” "This..." Miss Chang was troubled.She is not in charge of this case, so she cannot make judgments on her own. "If everything goes well, it will be a good thing for the police, the defense, the Teshima father and son, etc., isn't it?" Xiaozhi showed a lovely smile. "Let's pursue happiness together." The "little me" in my head whispered, "You are totally involved." Having said that, no matter what you decide to do, if you refuse here, a search lesson will come to Pierre.I poured the freshly brewed roselle tea into Xiao Zhi and Miss Chang's teacups. "I see. It's useless for Azhi to go, I'll go. Brother Yamazaki will come over early tomorrow to work, so I think it should be feasible to leave at two or three o'clock." Xiao Zhi gave a thumbs up. "I think so too, so I have already made an appointment with Tachikawa and Toyama after get off work tomorrow. There is still a little time before that, and I plan to sneak into the scene of the crime. But there are a lot of police officers at the scene, and it may not be so easy to get in." "It's not like what the police would say." "Then, I'll go too..." Miss Chang stretched out her upper body. "I talked to the lawyer in charge, and I want to help..." "Miss Lizi can't do it, the lawyer pretends to be a police officer, is he planning to steal the police's search information?" Miss Chang suddenly fell silent.Alas, common sense does. But Ah Zhi said: "No, there is something I want to ask Miss Chang." There were other people at the scene, but my younger brother took the initiative to speak, which is really strange.The three of us looked at Azhi at the same time. "I would like to troublesome Ms. Ma to help me find colleagues where Teshima Shinya used to work, that is, supermarkets and newspaper vendors... If possible, it will be easier to talk to people who have left their jobs than current ones..." "Okay." Miss Chang looked up at Azhi. "I'll go, let me handle it." "It's decided, the search will start tomorrow." Xiao Zhi smiled sweetly.I thought to myself, in the end, everything went according to this guy's plan.
