Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Eyes

Friday, October 3. For Totsukawa today, it was a mess from the beginning. The press was unrelenting, and the society pages of various newspapers carried articles of this kind with catchy headlines: By mistake?Police authorities are in trouble with the "Friday Killer" case. The headquarters of the search was chaotic, and the opinions of all parties were contradictory. Another real criminal?Strange behavior by the police. Yamamoto said more severely: If Saeki is not handed over to the Procuratorate before noon today, they will personally come forward for trial. Totsukawa's subordinates also complained, and everyone looked at him in surprise, complaining in their hearts for his hesitation.

It was in this imminent situation that Totsukawa was called to see Section Chief Honda. As soon as he entered the section chief's office, various newspapers on the table jumped into Totsukawa's eyes. "I believe in you." Honda nodded to him, motioning for him to sit down. "thanks." Totsukawa sat down. "Please talk about the real situation. Is there really no evidence of Yuichiro Saeki?" "There are two witnesses, and Tomoko Yoshikawa who was almost killed, and Saeki has a criminal record of raping women. If these charges are used, he will definitely be sentenced to death."

"Then what questions do you have?" "You can't believe everything the witness says!" "Which witness do you mean?" "Both are the same." "why?" "Take Shinsuke Miki as an example. At first he said that at the scene of the second murder, because it was dark and he was lighting a cigarette, he couldn't see the murderer's face clearly. But after a while, he was sure that the murderer was Saeki Yuichiro, and he was willing to testify in court .” "Could it be that he recalled it accurately?" "Since he said he couldn't see the other person's face clearly in the dark, no matter how he recalls, he can't turn the night into day!" Totsukawa smiled wryly, "I don't think he lied on purpose. But there may be such a situation, one is as a citizen A sense of responsibility, I want to be an eyewitness to solve the case; the second is that the situation we provided him with Saeki is that he is a gangster with both previous convictions and current crimes, maybe it is the ancestors."

"How about Sachiko Igawa's proof?" "He was originally Saeki's protector, but now he has turned into an accuser. She said this is her awakening of justice, but it's all a lie!" "How do you know it's a lie!" "You know she is the wife of former Minister of State Kitagawa Tairo, rich and powerful, very arrogant. At first she helped Saeki by supporting young artists, so she hired Higashida lawyer. But Mr. Kitagawa objected to this. The reason why Beichuan objected was that he did not want his wife to be the asylum of rape and murder, let alone be attacked by newspapers. The attitude of the public opinion towards Beichuan directly affected his political intention of running for minister. Sachiko Igawa weighed After pros and cons, she will naturally stand on the side of her husband, so she not only no longer defends Saeki, but becomes an accuser. She is a person who changes her position for interests, so her testimony cannot but be doubted."

"You're right. But it's Friday already." "I know." "If Saeki is not handed over to the prosecutor's office today, not only will we have to bear their heavy pressure, but the Minister of Criminal Affairs will not let us go. To be honest, I personally can't stand it." "I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble." "I'm fine. I just hope there's something to the case in a few hours. If Saeki is found guilty, I'll be fine. But he thinks he's innocent." "To be honest, I'm not sure, so I'm particularly embarrassed. From a theoretical analysis, Saeki is indeed suspected, but I always feel that the murderer is someone else. That is to say, the more unfavorable it is to Saeki objectively, the more I feel in my heart. He felt innocent."

"I can understand your feelings, but I can't use this to convince the minister." Honda shrugged and said. After hearing what Section Chief Honda said, Totsukawa just nodded silently to express his understanding. He knew in his heart that if he compromised, the matter would be easy, and he could transfer Zuobo to the prosecutor's office immediately.Prosecutor Yamamoto immediately prosecuted Saeki, followed by a court trial, conviction, and finally Saeki served his sentence.But Totsukawa felt uneasy in doing so, and if Saeki was sentenced to death, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

It was nearly noon, and Totsukawa and Section Chief Honda were summoned to meet Minister Mikami. As soon as the two entered the office of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, they saw that prosecutor Yamamoto was already sitting there. This situation is very embarrassing.Sanben stared at Totsukawa with displeased eyes, and the criminal minister also watched them come in with a puzzled look. Totsukawa thought to himself that the two of them must have exchanged views long ago. "Hey, sit down." Minister Mikami asked Totsukawa and Honda to sit down and said, "Totsukawa, it is said that you promised Prosecutor Yamamoto to transfer Yuichiro Saeki to the prosecutor's office before noon today?"

"I didn't say that it will be transferred to the procuratorate, but I only said that there will be a conclusion before noon today." "That makes no difference!" Prosecutor Yamamoto said sharply. "Different." Totsukawa retorted. "Then you want to release Saeki? You think he is innocent?" Yamamoto asked angrily with his eyes wide open, as if Totsukawa's words were completely unexpected. "From an objective point of view, it may be half to half. Maybe there is suspicion, maybe it's innocent." "But I've checked the records, and Zuobo's suspicion is too great. Whether to prosecute, this judgment is up to us?"

Yamamoto was already furious, but tried his best to suppress his anger and said. "It's okay to entrust it to you, but if Saeki is innocent, what will you do?" "Why is he innocent again? Didn't you arrest him only after you had personal evidence? Why do you think he is innocent now?" "The more we investigate, the more we feel that he is not the gangster on Friday. So even if he sues, he should be prosecuted for the attempted rape case at the love hotel on September 26. If you agree with this opinion, I can transfer Yuichiro Saeki there immediately."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yamamoto waved his hand, looking extremely impatient. "Why do you say that?" Totsukawa was taken aback for a moment. "Why do you say? This is because Yuichiro Saeki was the murderer on Friday, and we prosecutors work so hard! This is also the reason for the turmoil in the press. How can you explain to the public opinion that you are prosecuted for an attempted rape case! People will definitely think you are Captured by mistake." "What I'm afraid of is not Zuebo, but the real murderer reappearing. If the murderer really reappears, the prestige of the police will be completely lost, and the procuratorate will also be dishonored."

"But, Totsukawa, September 26th, the day Saeki was arrested was Friday. That day Saeki was going to rape a girl in a love hotel. Besides, there was no rape and murder of a woman, right?" "No, not a single thing." "Then it can be determined that Saeki is Friday's murderer. He challenged the police and carried out criminal activities on time. Why do you hesitate? If you are afraid of taking responsibility, then I can investigate and prosecute." "I'm not afraid of being responsible." "A reporter came to visit at 1 o'clock." Criminal Minister Mikami interrupted. Totsukawa looked at his watch, it was 21 minutes before 1 o'clock. "I hope to reach a conclusion before 1 o'clock." Mikami looked at the faces of Totsukawa and Honda respectively, "If it is announced at the press conference at 1 o'clock that Friday's murderer sued Saeki, the news will be published in the evening paper. In this way, Young women's fear of Friday's murderer can be eliminated. It is our duty to arrest the criminal, and it is also important to eliminate the fear of citizens. The TV station can completely use this case as a main content when inserting news. Today It was absolutely important that the indictment against Saeki be announced at the press conference on Friday." "If Section Chief Honda and Totsukawa still hesitate, I will be responsible for transferring Yuichiro Saeki to prosecute. I still have no confidence and are still hesitating on the evidence, which will only cause a decrease in trust in the police. Especially now that the whole of Tokyo is falling into Friday We must not hesitate any longer. I ask Honda and Totsukawa to entrust this case to me. I have reviewed the file, and as Prosecutor Yamamoto said, it can be concluded that Saeki Yuichiro is the murderer of Friday. It is so decided Come on!" After Mikami finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Honda and Totsukawa. Minister Mikami reached the end of his words, and Honda and Totsukawa couldn't stick to their views anymore. The reason why Mikami said this is also very reasonable.During the trial of this case, the police actions not only attracted the attention of Tokyo citizens, but also the whole of Japan.Three young girls were killed in a row, and the police were completely passive and did nothing.If it is said that Saeki Yuichiro, who was finally caught, is not the murderer, then the police will be severely reprimanded. Seeing that Honda and Totsukawa were silent, Minister Mikami thought that he agreed with him, so he continued: "Just follow my plan and announce it at the press conference at 1 o'clock." The press conference was attended by Mikami and Honda, and Totsukawa avoided it. A few hours later, the evening editions of various newspapers reported the news that Friday's murder had been solved with eye-catching headlines, and some newspapers also published full-page articles. In these articles, all the things about Saeki's background and rape of women when he was young were disclosed; some newspapers even said that when he was studying in Paris, he often strangled the necks of prostitutes with his hands and almost strangled them to death. TV is more fun.After repeated reports of the case, photos of Hashida Yumiko, Tanimoto Kiyomi and Kimihara Hisako were shown on the screen one after another.The announcer confidently announced to the audience that the murderer had been caught, and you can rest assured when you go out at night... The case was finally "closed". The search headquarters threw a banquet to celebrate the case, but Totsukawa showed no interest.He and Kamei went out for a walk.As dusk approached, they wandered the streets near the Imperial Palace. "I feel a little bit scary." Totsukawa's tone of voice was very depressed, and his mood was particularly depressed. Dusk covers the sky of Tokyo, the water surface of the moat is gradually darkening, and the neon lights of Ginza are particularly bright. "Are you worried that the real murderer will reappear?" Kamei and Totsukawa walked side by side and asked suddenly. "That's right. Newspapers and TV have reported all the reports on the case. This has relieved the young woman's vigilance. If the real murderer reappears, another young girl must die." "But the police department, I think Yuichiro Saeki may be Friday's murderer. If that's the case, there's nothing to fear." "This may not be the final conclusion!" "If there is another real culprit, how come no other women were raped or killed on September 26?" "There are several possibilities. Or the murderer suddenly fell ill and had to be admitted to the hospital, or someone passed by when he was about to commit the crime, but it didn't happen." "I think you're overthinking it." Kamei said reassuringly. "hope so." After it was completely dark, the two returned to the search headquarters from the moat. The headquarters office was searched in chaos.Five or six wine glasses and tin cans fell on the table, all of which foreshadowed the impending disintegration of the search headquarters. Yasui and Tajima tore off the bird's-eye views of the first to fourth scenes pasted on the wall, crumpled them up, and threw them in the corner. Totsukawa sat slumped on a chair, examining everything in the room with a complicated expression. "The case is over," he said silently in his heart.But the whole case was still on his mind.Maybe Kamei is right, Saeki Yuichiro is Friday's murderer.He had no clear alibi, wanted to kill Tomoko Yoshikawa, had a rape record, and even had the testimony of a Turkish waitress.It would be great if Saeki was really the murderer!Thinking about Totsukawa, all the worries and troubles disappeared in an instant. The electronic clock on the wall seems to understand the mood of the owner, trying to slow down the pace of time, walking slowly in a "dida, da, da" manner.The hour hand is pointing to 9:06. At 10 o'clock, this dangerous moment is coming soon! "Would you like tea?" Kamei poured a cup of tea for Totsukawa, "Prosecutor Yamamoto may be actively interrogating Saeki right now!" Kamei said something as if to relieve Totsukawa's depression. "may be." Totsukawa replied flatly. "Let's go to Shinjuku to have some wine tonight? I haven't had a drink for a long time, if you want." "thanks." Totsukawa still answered absent-mindedly. Kamei secretly smiled.He knew Totsukawa's mood very well, and he would not go out to drink under the current circumstances. into the night. 10:12. A man walks in the night... Today is Matsuki Kaori's 24th birthday. She works in the personnel department of N Wusan Company.Makoto Tanaka, a lover who works in the same company, made an appointment to celebrate her birthday.She had a premonition of what he was about to do. Matsuki Kaori is not ignorant of the opposite sex. She had sex with a nearby college student when she was still in her third year of high school.That was the first man she met. The college student formally proposed to her after work, but Kaori refused.From Kaori's point of view, he always felt that he had a mediocre personality, no personality, and very little masculinity, so she was a bit annoying. She met Tanaka a year ago.Tanaka just graduated from T University and is the son of the chairman of the company.In company N is a future senior employee, and the purpose of Kaori's relationship with him is to get married and build a happy family. Kaori is confident that she can win Tanaka's favor with her outstanding appearance and slender body. These can also achieve her goal of getting her to marry her.Usually, her affection for him always has a certain limit, only between hugs and kisses.This summer, they went on a sea trip together. Although she put on a bikini to let him appreciate her posture, he wanted to possess her on the way back, and she firmly refused.She is a more mature girl, and she will only give her body when the other party confirms that she is married to herself. The same company has also courted Tanaka's women.Kaori also knew enough about this.She is confident that she can control a certain amount, and decides to commit herself to him today.This opportunity can no longer be missed! After get off work, Kaori took Tanaka's car and went straight to his house. This residence is newly completed.Tanaka bought a two-bedroom, two-living house for 30 million yen, which he is often proud of. A birthday cake and champagne are already set up in the living room.They cut the cake, drank champagne, and had a great time.When the wine was half drunk, Tanaka stretched out his hand and hugged Kaori towards them. They kissed and hugged passionately. Tanaka was in a state of extreme arousal, eager to unzip her dress and take off her bra.The pair of breasts that Kaori was so proud of were completely exposed.On the suntanned skin in summer, the snow-white breasts are indeed very attractive.Tanaka caressed her white and tender breasts with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to the triangle area of ​​her lower abdomen. "It's wet here." Tanaka said in a daze. Kaori just smiled "giggle" and twisted her waist.Finally, Tanaka gently carried her to the bed... There are bursts of upside-down luan and phoenix, bursts of affection and tenderness.Before I knew it, it was past 10 o'clock. Tanaka drove her back to Kitazawa's apartment. "There is no need to send it." Kaori said. Tanaka said while speeding up the car: "Let a beauty like you walk alone at night, can I rest assured?" "Don't worry. From the station home, I'll pick the bright spot." "No, today is Friday. It's the Friday when murders happen in succession!" "The Evening News has reported that Friday's murderer has been arrested and charged. It is said to be a hair stylist from a beauty salon in Shinjuku." "Is the report true? Tanaka asked questioningly and sarcastically." "Why not true?" "There has been no report on the arrest of the murderer for a month. The police were severely criticized in the newspapers, perhaps to avoid accusing the police of arresting suspects indiscriminately." "There was also a picture of the murderer in the newspaper." "Now you can do head-changing surgery, and you can also do composite photos. The police are even better at doing this." "You are suspicious enough!" "I'm worried about you!" Kaori's apartment is about 100 meters away from Koshu Street into the small alley.Tanaka stopped the car on Koshu Street and took her back to the apartment in person.It was almost 11 o'clock at this time. Kaori lived in the "Hagoromoso" apartment.Although there is only one bedroom and one living room, there are bathrooms and toilets attached.Kaori was already very satisfied with this. "Show me your room, please? I'm interested in girls' rooms." Tanaka said. "OK!" Kaori nodded in agreement.The two walked into the room hugging each other. Met the caretaker at the stairs.He smiled slightly, looked at Kaori and Tanaka, this is a middle-aged man who is interested in spying. "This man is so annoying." Tanaka said. "Don't pay attention to him, don't pay attention to him." Kaori said as she opened her room on the second floor, which was a very feminine and beautifully furnished room. Tanaka happily even looked at the bathroom, and he said with emotion: "A girl's boudoir is simply a dream world!" Kaori was a little puzzled and surprised by his words. Kaori was busy making coffee for him.After the two finished their coffee, Kaori sent Tanaka back.When Tanaka walked down the stairs and the footsteps disappeared outside the building, she came back and closed the door, boiled the bath water, and changed into pajamas at the same time. At this time, Kaori's body still had the red heat from when she was passionate on Tanaka's bed.She thought that tomorrow would be Saturday, the company's holiday, and Tanaka would definitely call to ask her out.What should I do then?Do you agree immediately or hold back a little?Just when Kaori was immersed in the longing for happiness and sweetness, the doorbell rang with a "ding". "Forgot what?" She thought Tanaka had forgotten something and came back to pick it up, so she asked while opening the door. The moment the door opened, the person standing at the door quickly stretched out his hands. Kaori didn't even cry out, her neck was tightly strangled. Her body slowly fell backwards. At 1:45, Totsukawa received a report of rape and murder.His face suddenly changed: "Kamei, the case!" Totsukawa's voice trembling when calling Kamei. When Kamei saw Totsukawa's expression, he understood, and immediately followed him out. "Friday's gangster reappeared?" Kamei asked in a low voice. "I don't know if it's Friday's murderer. Another rape and murder case occurred in Setagaya Ward. As before, the victim was stripped naked, raped and then strangled." "Is the form exactly the same?" "It depends on the scene." Of course Totsukawa wanted to be different. Although Totsukawa expressed doubts that Saeki Yuichiro was the murderer, he is a member of the police after all, so naturally he does not want to embarrass the police. Police cars sped down the streets late at night.The appraiser's car followed closely behind. It was past midnight when Totsukawa and others arrived at the scene. Detective Suzuki of the mobile search team who arrived first bowed and said to Totsukawa: "Please." Totsukawa and others went upstairs to the victim's room. I saw a young girl lying naked on the straw mat.The neck was congested and reddish in color.The face of the deceased was distorted, which may have been caused by the pain of being strangled by the neck, but the first thing that flashed into Totsukawa's eyes was the victim's tanned skin and traces of a snow-white swimsuit! "She is a resident of this apartment, her name is Matsuki Kaori. She just celebrated her 24th birthday yesterday, and she is a female employee of N Products Company." Suzuki reported to Totsukawa. "Who found it?" "The administrator of this apartment, I'll go and call him." After a while, Suzuki brought a short middle-aged man from downstairs. "This is Mr. Jiang Shang, the administrator." Suzuki said. "Would you please tell me how the body was found?" Totsukawa said. "At about 12 o'clock, I went upstairs as usual to check the fire safety situation." "Do you have to check every day?" "Yes. There are a lot of people coming home late in this apartment, because most of them are ladies from the bar. For this reason, I often check late at night to see if anyone has lit the fire. When I looked at the second floor today, I saw that the door of Miss Pinewood's room was ajar Then, I thought she was too careless, so I looked inside, who thought she was dead. I was shocked and called the police immediately." "When was the last time you saw her?" "Last night around 11 o'clock." "11 o'clock?" "Yes, it was brought back by a young man. We even said hello when we met at the stairs!" "What kind of man?" "A man in a neat suit, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, must be someone who works with Ms. Kaori." "How did you see it?" "There is a badge logo, they have the same badge!" "You read very carefully." Totsukawa said. "I like to observe people. People who have seen one side will not forget and can remember the details." Jiang Shang said with a proud smile. "Then you will recognize that man when you see him again?" "Of course, I must recognize it." Jiang Shang nodded deeply. With the arrival of dawn, the shock of the case to the society is also great. First, the police had a dispute over where the search headquarters should be located: Totsukawa believed that it should be located in the Metropolitan Police Department.His reason was that Matsuki Kaori's death was the work of Friday's murderer.In the past, the search headquarters was located in the Metropolitan Police Department, and all the information about the Friday serial rape and homicide case was stored here, which was convenient for work.But the criminal minister Mikami firmly opposed it. "The serial rape and murder case has been solved." Mikami's tone is indisputable. "If the search headquarters is located in the Metropolitan Police Department, people will think that the murderer of the serial rape case is still committing the crime. This is inappropriate. I think this case is another criminal. Imitate Friday's murderer, so the search headquarters should be set up in the jurisdiction like ordinary cases. It is so decided!" "But minister, today's case is exactly the same as the past case!" "Nude, rape, strangulation, such cases can happen at any time, the murderers can imitate each other!" "I think the victim's skin was very tanned this time, the same as the previous three victims. This is very worrying. Saeki may not be Friday's murderer. Tomoko Yoshikawa, who he almost killed, had white skin that was not tanned." "Totsukawa!" Mikami's attitude became more serious, "You mean we made a mistake on Yuichiro Saeki?!" "I didn't say that. But I don't think Saeki's case is true." "You can reserve your opinion. But for the sake of the overall social effect, I think the search headquarters should still be located at the Setagaya Police Station!" However, during the interview with reporters at 10 a.m., the focus of the questions was on the similarity of the cases. Minister Mikami was in charge of answering the interview. "We also admit that there are similarities." Mikami said to reporters, "With the case of Friday's murderer, it is normal for imitation crimes to appear. Especially sexual crimes can be said to be special in history. You must know that recently In the rape and homicide cases in the United States, the murderer claimed to be a "professional killer", imitating the practice of cutting the victim's throat more than a hundred years ago." "So, do you think the murderer is not a serial criminal?" a reporter asked. "of course not." "Is there any evidence to prove otherwise?" The other side asked. "Friday's killer has been apprehended, prosecuted. That is the best proof in itself." "But this case has too many similarities with the previous ones: ambush, Friday night, murder after rape, the dead man's naked skin was very tanned, and the bikini swimsuit marks are clearly...these are exactly the same. If the murderer's blood type is B, even if It’s okay to think it’s the same person!” "I don't know the blood type yet." "The murderer raped the deceased, right? It's not difficult to find out the blood type." "Currently being examined. The body has been sent for autopsy." "Please hold another press conference when you know the murderer's blood type." the reporters demanded. Based on the clues provided by the apartment manager, Totsukawa and Kamei tried their best to find the man who sent Kaori home last night.But it happened that N Property Company was on vacation, so they had no choice but to visit the company's head of HR.After several inquiries, I finally found Tanaka's address. Totsukawa and Kamei hurried to Tanaka's home to visit him. The newspaper's morning issue hadn't had time to report it yet, so Tanaka didn't know Kaori was dead yet.When the two criminal police officers informed him, his expression changed instantly. "Did you send Kaori back to Kitazawa's apartment last night?" Totsukawa asked. "Yes. We are in love. I will marry her. I cannot kill her." "Just to be on the safe side, what is your blood type?" "Type O. Is there a problem with that?" Tanaka asked dissatisfied. After the autopsy, the doctor reported that the murderer's blood type was O.The police breathed a sigh of relief. "great!" Kamei said to Totsukawa. Totsukawa's expression was complicated: "Hondo can also breathe a sigh of relief, because he said that Saeki is Friday's murderer. Then this time the criminal is just imitating." "What do the police think?" "Blood type O, this is obviously different from previous cases. From this point of view, it can be said that Yuichiro Saeki was not arrested by mistake. I am very happy." "Is there anything else to worry about?" "what you think?" Totsukawa asked back. "This..." Kamei thought for a while and said, "Assaulting a young girl, strangling her neck, stripping her clothes and raping her before killing her is pure imitation. It's just..." "Just what? Is the woman who was killed very tanned?" Totsukawa asked. Kamei smiled: "Yes. Except for Tomoko Yoshikawa, who was almost killed, the three deceased in the past were all very tanned, with obvious bikini marks on their skin, which is why the murderer became a beast. Matsuki Kaori was also very tanned this time. , the traces of the swimsuit are very obvious, whether this is an imitation of Friday's murderer, I think it is worth noting!" "I feel the same way. It's a pity we can't intervene in this case." "Is it an order from above?" "The higher-ups were afraid that our participation in the investigation would cause doubts in the press, so they had no choice but to stand by and watch." When you become a criminal police officer, you can never be idle. At noon on Sunday, October 5, another murder occurred in Ginza. A female salesperson in the tie department on the first floor of M Department Store was stabbed with a dagger by a young male customer.How arrogant the murderer is under the eyes of the public and in full view!The female salesperson was taken to the hospital by ambulance.However, due to serious injuries and excessive blood loss, he died after rescue efforts failed. The case is in charge of Totsukawa and Kamei. During the investigation, someone testified that the murderer was about 25 or 6 years old, 170 centimeters tall, and had a face similar to that of a Y movie actor. He yelled at the victim, "Let you betray me!" and stabbed him. After investigation, a young man who worked in a bar had a close relationship with the victim and had lived with her.Later, the woman wanted to marry a company employee and broke up with him.But he loves her deeply, so he often finds her to pester her. Totsukawa ordered the arrest of this man.At the same time, he is still worried about the rape and murder case in the apartment.The district to which it belongs requires Matsuki Kaori's fiancé Makoto Tanaka to come to the police station as an important insider. "I am in love with her and are ready to get married, why should I kill her?" Tanaka said. "What's your blood type?" Detective Ogawa asked. "Type O. Is there anything wrong with that?" "The murderer who killed Matsuki Kaori was also Type O." "That's why you think I'm the murderer? It's really playing the piano! Don't you know that there are many people with O blood type?" "The problem is that you have the closest relationship with her, and your blood type is O. The apartment manager saw you sending Kaori back, and she was killed after that, so you should explain what happened on October 3." "I didn't kill her anyway. I walked her back to the apartment and she came home five or six minutes later. It's true." "But the administrator didn't see when you left. Who can prove that you went back in five or six minutes?" "I drove straight back to my home." "Who can testify against you?" "I live alone at home. I plan to live with Kaori after marriage, so no one can testify for me. Is it natural?" Tanaka was a little annoyed. Detective Ogawa has been very calm, he asked calmly: "The victim had semen in her body, blood type O. Did you have sex with her before she died?" "this……" Tanaka stuttered and said: "Honestly... that day... I took her to my house to celebrate her birthday, and we had sex because we couldn't understand each other, but I definitely didn't force it. There's nothing wrong with loving and making love to each other, right? I had sex with her for the first time that day. After that, I sent her back to the apartment." "Isn't it?" "Why not?" "After you sent her back to the apartment, you suddenly had some strange feeling and started attacking her, right? She didn't agree, and you were eager to ask for sex, so you strangled her neck, made her unconscious, and then raped her. You killed her because you were afraid that this kind of scandal would publicly affect your position as a senior employee. Is this probably the truth?" "Stop joking, Mr. Detective. It has been said several times that she and I love each other, and it can be proved." "What proof?" "The love letters she gave me. After reading those love letters, you will know that I don't need violence, and she can agree to anything." "Working in the same company, do you still need to write a love letter?" "As long as you are in love, you will write love letters every day when you meet. You can go and check the drawer of the desk in my room. There are five letters from her. Of course, I also gave her five letters. I can take them at any time." "No, we can go." Ogawa said. In the case of the Ginza Department Store, the murderer was caught the next day, and the solution went very smoothly. After the case was solved, Totsukawa was still concerned about the case of Matsuki Kaori, so he called the Ogawa detective. After explaining the incident, Ogawa said: "Tanaka is currently in custody." "Why was Tanaka detained? Didn't the victim Matsuki Kaori's love letter be found in Tanaka's apartment?" "I found it. There are five in total. Two of them are love letters. I also found Tanaka's love letter from Kaori's room. He wrote it very enthusiastically." "Then the woman loves him so much, does she have to allow him to have sex with her when she gets married?" "No, that's not the case." "Then why are you still detaining Tanaka?" "In addition to the victim's love letter, I found letters from several other women from Tanaka's home. There are love letters, more explicit letters and nude photos of women. There are also kiss marks of women behind the photos." "That means Tanaka is very popular with women!" "He is young and handsome, and more importantly, he is a senior employee. He is not an ordinary senior employee, but a member of the family of the leader of N Products Company, and he is a man that women will chase after." "I see." "The victim Matsuki Kaori may have denounced Tanaka's behavior. Tanaka believed that women would obey him with his sense of superiority, so he became furious, strangled her neck, raped her and then killed her." "It makes sense." "Tanaka has no alibi. The apartment manager only saw him come in, but didn't see him go back. Tanaka himself said that he would go back in five or six minutes. This is not reliable." "How about the fingerprints in Kaori Matsuki's room?" "The clearest ones are the fingerprints of Tanaka and Kaori." "Is Tanaka planning to marry the victim?" "He said he was going to marry her, so he wouldn't kill her. But Tanaka is a famous playboy, so I don't know if he really wants to get married." "What's Tanaka's personality like? Is he the kind of person who messes around when he gets angry?" "He grew up being pampered. Two years ago, he beat up the waitresses in the Shinjuku club. The reason was that he was drunk and asked them to have sex, but the other party refused, so he beat them. At that time, Tanaka's father gave that 5 million yen per person is enough.” "But Tanaka is not afraid that there will be no women to play with. How could he kill someone when a woman refuses?" "It's because of his sense of superiority. Two years ago, his violence against women in the club is enough to explain the problem. Besides, there are no other suspects except Tanaka. Friday's murderer has been arrested and prosecuted, you know that of." Totsukawa put down the receiver and fell into deep thought again. "What's wrong?" Kamei looked at Totsukawa worriedly and asked. "Kamei, how about some coffee?" Totsukawa suggested. "OK." Kamei nodded. The two came to the coffee room of the Metropolitan Police Department.After ordering coffee, Totsukawa told Kamei about the conversation he had just had with Detective Ogawa. "Ogawa finally said that Friday's murderer has been arrested and prosecuted, so there are no other suspects except this guy Tanaka." "Do you think Tanaka is innocent?" "No, that's not the case. Detective Ogawa who handled the case may also be right. I'm afraid that if Matsuki Kaori is really killed by Friday's murderer, not only Tanaka is innocent, but Saeki Yuichiro is also innocent." "I understand the concerns of the police department. The blood type of the man who can kill Matsuki Kaori is O. This is different from Friday's murderer!" "I hope it's not the same person." "I also know that I'm thinking too much, but I'm always worried. Zuebo is indeed a pervert, but would he do something as cruel as Friday's murderer? I also feel suspicious." "I understand that." Kamei added some sugar to their coffee cups, took a sip and said. At this time, the young Miyazaki detective hurried to the coffee room, looked around, and went straight to Totsugawa. "Police." Miyazaki yelled. "Any new cases?" Kamei asked first. "No." Miyazaki sat down and said, "It's still the case of Matsumoto Kaori being raped and killed." "Any new news?" Totsukawa asked. "The doctor who just finished the autopsy called and said that in addition to the type O, the semen in the vagina was also found to be type B." "what?" Totsukawa almost roared, and at the same time stood up unconsciously, so that the waiter around him was startled. "As I said just now, when the type O was detected at the beginning, the person who identified the murderer as type O checked again and found that there was also type B semen. In other words, the victim obviously had sex with two men They were killed after they had a relationship. The search headquarters also received a report, and they were also very confused." Miyazaki explained. "A man with type B blood?" Totsukawa repeated again. "Is it really weird?" Kamei frowned. Totsukawa took a cigarette from his pocket and put it to his mouth, but was in no hurry to light it. He pondered for a moment, then said slowly: “小川说，田中承认在送受害人回公寓前，曾在自己所住的家里和香织发生过性关系。又说送香织回公寓后，只呆了五六分钟就回去了。他说的可能是事实。” 龟井很了解十津川还没说出口的话，便补充道： “田中回去后，B型血的男子出现，强奸了香织，又把她杀了，是不是？” “对如果田中不是凶手，那么奸杀松木香织的就不是他，而是B型血的男人！这家伙让她全裸强奸后再勒死了她。这些和星期五的凶手作案手法完全一样，尤其是杀害晒黑皮肤的姑娘。” 十津川完整地说出了自己的看法。 "so what should I do now?" Kamei asked. “目前有小川他们负责侦查，我们不能插手。不过报界又会说是警方的误捕。” “说得对。记者俱乐部已经提出要求举行记者发布会了。” 宫崎为十津川的判断作了说明。
