Chapter 3 Chapter Three Constitutes Evidence

"No, someone is watching!" In the darkness, Shingo Takeura's hand was reaching into Miwa's skirt, and she held her back delicately. "No one is watching. It's just the two of us here." Shingo's hand pushed away Miwa's weak obstruction, and continued to push towards her secret part. Her attitude was not resolute, which only fueled his desire. The night was getting darker and darker, and the curtain of the drama was opened for the two of them. "I'm ashamed to be here." Meihe was still indecisive, but she didn't understand that this would arouse a man's lust even more.They have known each other for half a year, and now they have crossed the "forbidden line".At this time, the man became more and more unscrupulous and bolder, and his fingers pushed further into the depths of her "privacy".

The stars above the head, some are dense, some are scattered, each occupying its proper position.The sound of the stream can be heard here, and the silence of the wild makes the two more excited, eagerly tempting them to experience the unknown excitement. It is impossible to have people in such a quiet place in the suburbs, but it makes people feel that someone is peeping in the dark, which makes the two of them feel more exciting. Takeura's fingers finally touched Miwa's secret part, she was hugged tightly by Takeura, and she fell into a state of no resistance at this time. "Please forgive me, please." Miwa begged, in fact, she was impatiently waiting for Zhupu's "attack".

"The stars are peeping!" Meihe gasped. "Then let it see!" Zhupu has turned into a sturdy horse in an instant, and Meihe's "struggle" is mixed with the meaning of promise.Zhupu asked her to lie on the grass, and then she actively cooperated, lifting her waist slightly so that she could pull down her panties.The two cooperated tacitly and seamlessly.Under the shady scenes, the two quickly became one. The two were immersed in selfless passion, and the evil spirits under the shady scene were approaching them. The men and women who were infatuated with the world of the two were unaware of the imminent danger.

Suddenly, a murky voice came out from the darkness behind: "Let me see it all!" The two of them panicked for a moment, and they were dumbstruck. "Look at you in such distress! I saw it. It's unbearable!" Simultaneously with the sound of cursing, there was a sound of a stick piercing the air behind Zhupu. Zhupu was hit hard, and the back of his head burst suddenly Feeling, consciousness quickly sank into darkness. I don't know how long after the coma, when Zhupu woke up, he found himself lying in the grass, and Meihe had disappeared without a trace.He was terrified and wanted to stand up, but the back of his head was in severe pain, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.

"Meihe—" Zhupu called his lover's name, but no one answered, only the sound of the stream suddenly sounded. "Meihe, where have you been?" Zhupu staggered and stood up with difficulty, aimlessly looking for the river.He was suddenly hit on the back of the head by the strong man and lost consciousness. It was probably at this time that Meihe was kidnapped. Zhupu deeply felt the heavy responsibility, and was extremely worried about Meihe's safety, and his heart was extremely heavy. "Meihe, please be safe, please, please be safe!" Zhupu cried and prayed, he didn't realize that he was crying, but the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

He should stand up to protect Meihe, but he lost consciousness, and Meihe was kidnapped.In case there is something wrong with Meihe, there is really no way to explain it. It is impossible for the strong man who kidnapped Miwa to stay in this area.When Zhupu was looking for Miwa near the scene, he lost time, and the criminal had already taken Miwa far away. Zhupu finally thought of asking for help, and he went straight to the brightly lit house. A few hours later, Kitahara Miwa staggered to a fellow villager's house near the scene for help.Her hair was disheveled, her body was covered with scars, and her clothes were torn. It was obvious at a glance that she was killed and raped.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital immediately and received treatment. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. After she was kidnapped, the criminals dragged her into a car and raped her.After satisfying his animal desire, the criminal abandoned her near the fellow's home and fled in a hurry. Frightened and terrified, Miwa could barely remember the criminal's features.Everything was going on in the dark. Regarding the criminal, she only remembered that he was short in stature and strong in build. Of course, she didn't know the number of the car the criminal was riding on.

It's just that when she was thrown out of the car by the criminal, she was holding a pack of matches in her hand.This is a special match used in bars. When she was raped in the criminal's car, she seemed to be grabbed by accident. The name of the bar "Yashiro" in Ginza 6-chome is printed on the match. This is a cardboard-type safety match. Fifteen of them are left, and five of them are used up. The root of the match is still on the cardboard. What is the relationship between criminals and "Yashiro"?Not sure. Anyone who goes in and out of the store can have a match dedicated to the bar.Was this match brought directly into the car by the criminal?Or was it brought into the car by the person in the criminal's car?In short, "Yashiro"'s match is the only clue to find the criminal.

The police station that received the report from the victim, Kitahara Miwa, immediately notified the bar "Yashiro" in Ginza 6-chome, where the police encountered a fact that surprised them. The owner of the bar "Yashiro" was killed by someone in his house on the night of May 23rd a month ago. After the female shopkeeper Yashiro Tokieda was killed, "Yashiro" closed down.So, it means that the matches in the car that raped Kitahara Miwa were taken out of the store before Tokie was killed. On the night of June 24, Kitahara Miwa was attacked while meeting her lover by the Tamagawa River in Shimokie City.

After the lover was stunned by the prisoner with a stick-shaped weapon, Beiyuan was dragged into the prisoner's car and raped at a corner of the river.Lover Takeura Shingo left sequelae similar to concussion. The Komae Police Station, which received a report from the victim, considered that the criminal who attacked the lovers of Kitahara and Takeura was related to the murder of the Ginza proprietress. The opinion of the majority in the police department is negative: in any case, it is too early to consider a connection just because of a match. However, Ishii, a detective from the Komae Department, fell into deep thought.The murderer who killed the proprietress was an acquaintance. This is the police department's speculation, and the case is under trial.The case here is that a lover who was immersed in a world of two by a river at night was attacked.The methods used in the two cases were different.However, Interpol Ishii keenly felt that the criminals in the two cases had many similar doubts.

The female boss of Ginza was killed, and money and valuables were quietly stolen.The competent police station is still continuing to hear the case, which seems to have ruled out the possibility of love homicide, the main purpose of which is to steal money and valuables. On the other hand, the murderer who attacked the lover by the river hid in the dark and waited with bated breath for the prey to be hooked, just like waiting for a rabbit. The criminals are very familiar with the environment in this area. Ishii met Takeura Shingo because he couldn't get any clues from Miwa. Zhupu is 28 years old this year and is a bank employee. "Mr. Interpol, I am so ashamed. Although I was with her, when she was raped, I collapsed on the ground and did not fulfill my responsibility to protect her. I am so ashamed. I will not be able to face her in the future." .” Zhupu lowered his head, heartbroken. "Suddenly attacked by accident, no one can do anything. The criminal is so vicious, if you resist, you will lose your life." Ishii comforted. "It was worth losing my life to protect her. When I regained consciousness, the criminal and her were gone, and everything was over. I feel remorseful, ashamed, and really want to die." "If you feel remorse and hope to turn it into strength, please help us hunt down criminals together!" "I really want to catch the criminal with my own hands. I will not hesitate to pay any price!" "When you were attacked by a criminal, do you remember anything about the criminal?" "I felt that someone came up behind me. It was too late to say it, and then I was hit hard on the head with a sap, and then I lost consciousness." "Yeah, how could you turn around and see clearly at that time? The murderer put you down right away." "The murderer said, 'Look at you in such a mess! I saw it, it's unbearable!'" "Did you say that?" "I remember rightly, it was these words that were spoken." "Do you speak with an accent?" "The voice is muffled and vulgar. I don't think it has an accent." "It seems that criminals have been peeping at you for a long time." "She said, 'I always feel like someone is watching.'" "The criminals may have already laid an ambush." "If I had respected her instincts at the time, maybe we would have avoided this disaster." "Did you see the face of the murderer?" "Because the voice came from behind me, the moment I wanted to turn around, I was hit on the back of the head, and then I didn't know anything." "How long have you been unconscious?" "I was in a panic. After I regained consciousness, I went to find her and forgot to look at my watch. It took me a while to look at my watch. It must have been about half an hour. I guess it took about 15 to 20 minutes for me to lose consciousness. " "When you woke up, did you find the money and valuables still there?" "I have about 20,000 yen in my wallet, safe and sound, a lot of money." The woman brought about 10,000 yen and did not lose any money.Together, the total cash amount is only about 30,000 yen.Compared with the landlady's cash and precious gold and silver, which totaled five million yen, it was a world of difference. "Kitahara is holding a match from Ginza 6-chome 'Yashiro' in his hand. Do you know this shop?" "I've never been to a bar in Ginza." "The criminal or the person in the criminal's car must have been to this bar!" Ishii seemed to be talking to himself. The lover was raped, and the man was hit on the back of the head with a blunt instrument, leaving a concussion.But the money was not stolen. Detective Yoshihara of the Azabu Police Station is responsible for the case of the murder of the Ginza proprietress.Ishii goes to Azabu to meet his old friend Yoshihara. "Ishii, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Yoshihara greeted Ishii plainly and reticently. "It's been a while since we saw each other, how is everything?" "What brought you here today?" Yoshihara's expression was speculative, and Ishii would not come to visit because of the long absence, no doubt he came here for something. Ishii talks about the rape case that happened by the Tama River in the tube. "Is the victim holding a box of 'Yashiro' matches?" Yoshihara asked with interest. "I went to 'Yashiro'. After the proprietress was killed, the store closed, right?" "Yes. That is to say, the match in the victim's hand was brought out of the proprietress' shop before she was killed?" Yoshihara and Ishii seem to have the same idea. "There are articles on matches." "Do you have any such matches here?" "I brought it." Ishii handed the plastic bag with the matches to Yoshihara.Yoshihara took out the match and stared at it for a long time.Pay particular attention to the five broken matches. "Ishii, please wait a moment." Yoshihara's eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered something. "Look!" Yoshihara stood up and took a package from the evidence storage shelf. "This is it." Yoshihara handed it to Ishii, with a burnt match in his pocket. "This is..." Ishii raised his head and asked. "This match was picked up from the trash at the crime scene. The victim had a lighter. The burned match was new, so it may have been used by the criminal. We kept it as a document. The burned match The shapes of matches and Ishii seem to be very similar!" The two looked at each other, coincidentally. "If the burnt match root and the remaining match root match, there will be a show!" Both nodded in agreement. Observing the gaps of these two matches, they are indeed very similar. "Send it for testing immediately! The results will be available soon." Yoshihara spoke energetically. Soon, the inspection report came to a conclusion. "Exactly the same! The burnt and the broken notches match exactly." "Is it consistent?" Ishii's doubts were finally confirmed. At the scene where the proprietress was murdered, the burned match root was exactly the same as the gap in the match in the rapist's car.This strongly proves that the two cases are intrinsically linked. The match alone does not mean that the rapist is the one who killed the proprietress, but it can at least prove that the two cases are related. The criminal who killed the proprietress lost the remaining match in the rapist's car after using a match at the scene of the crime.The odds are growing that the culprits are the same. "Your feeling is right. I also thought that criminals would always show their feet, but I didn't expect this kid to appear here." Yoshihara said. "Yoshihara, do you also think the two cases are related?" "The same matches in the service industry may be seen everywhere. There is only one match with the matching root and the broken gap! The other half was brought out from the rapist's car." "But why wasn't the female boss raped?" A single woman living alone is of course more likely to be exploited and raped than a woman with a male partner. "Regarding this point, I have carefully considered that there may be plural criminals who murdered the proprietress." "Plural criminals?" "This is my conjecture. The victim's sister said that her sister often interviews female waitresses at home. On the day of the incident, the original plan to meet with her sister was canceled because she wanted to meet a guest. I think this guest was there to apply for the job. Girl. The criminal used this as an excuse to go to the victim's house. With a woman, it is unlikely to rape the victim." "I think so. But assuming there are women among the criminals, the male criminal can only endure it at this time." "The person who introduces the proprietress is not necessarily a female criminal." "Assuming she was there at the time, it would be an accomplice. A man and a woman are accomplices, of course the relationship is extraordinary, right?" "Yeah, I've thought of that too. I heard that the rapist yelled to show the man in his relationship before committing the crime." "I heard it is." "Could it be that there were three people who killed the proprietress?" "three people?" "That is to say, two men and one woman. Among them, a man and a woman are a couple, and the other man is treated coldly. This man is often left there, and his emotions become more and more depressed. Finally, he vented his anger by the Tama River." "I didn't expect the three to conspire to commit the crime." "I just came up with it, inspired by Ishii's reasoning. Even though they take the woman, assuming a woman is desired, one of the men is not allowed to touch her." "Then this accomplice man can only vent his suffocated sexual desire on other women?" "This is just my speculation, there is no evidence." "No, the burning match and the broken gap coincide. This is the strongest evidence. Now I have a foreboding feeling in my heart." "Tell me about this ominous premonition!" Yoshihara read Ishii's face. "Assuming there were three accomplices in the murder of the proprietress, the alienated man went off on his own and attacked a couple of lovers by the river. The accomplice couple might feel threatened." "Yes! The man who was alienated participated in the murder and robbery, and committed the crime of rape alone. The accomplices, a man and a woman, originally wanted to wait and avoid the limelight of being hunted down. They were worried that if the rapist was exposed, they were afraid that they would be arrested. Bitten it out." "Hope it doesn't trigger them to commit another crime." The two stared into each other's faces. Reasoning leads to an ominous premonition, and I feel more and more uneasy and anxious inside. Shingo Takeura's concussion-like symptoms lasted for a long time.Laziness from shoulders to wrists, the whole arm was unbearably heavy, tinnitus, dizziness, numbness from wrists to fingers, and general weakness all day long.The head is often painful and listless. The doctor said that it will gradually improve after a period of time, but the symptoms have not improved. His relationship with Kitahara Miwa has become increasingly stalemate and alienated.Although Beiyuan reassured Zhupu that he could not be blamed for this matter, he still showed a condemning look. Takeura's eyes seem to be always observing her clothes and even her victimized body, which makes Meihe unbearable. Despite this, they reluctantly dated many times, and finally one day Meihe couldn't help it anymore. "It's better for us to break up!" "Why do you say that? That thing is irresistible, let's forget about that!" "I want to forget it! But I've tried my best, but I can't forget it. Every time I meet you, I immediately remember it. I think you must be like this. Every time you meet me, you blame yourself." "I feel sorry for you, but we are still young, and we still have time to stand up again!" "Okay, let's not force it anymore. If we continue to force it like this, it won't work. So, I think it's better to break up as soon as possible. Now we can break up and find a new life. Every time we meet, it seems that we are exposing each other's scars. We break up Bar!" Miwa first suggested that Zhupu felt relieved. This pair of lovers is not so much covering each other's weaknesses as they are covering each other's shame. The shame, no matter how much time passes, cannot disappear, so simply "avoid" and "disappear".If we break up before the scars are deepened, then as she said, we will stand on the starting line of a new life again. The two finally parted ways. Although they broke up, Zhupu has not let go of the psychological debt he has borne to Miwa, which is a debt he must bear for life. On the days of Tongmihe's farewell, Detective Ishii came to visit.Detective Ishii suspects that the rapist has something to do with the murder of the Ginza proprietress. Zhupu is interested in this case, and as a layman in solving the case, he may not be able to play much role.If you can help hunt down criminals, even if you can only help, it may somewhat alleviate some of your spiritual guilt. He began to collect reports and notes about the murder of the Ginza proprietress, intending to do some research and research as best he could. If, as Detective Ishii judged, the two cases are related, then Takeura, as one of the victims, has begun to get involved in the investigation. Takeura collected relevant news and documentary reports, and went to the victim's house and the store in Ginza in person. The store in Ginza is on the fourth floor of the 6-chome bar building, which has been closed and cannot be entered.Above the store name "Yashiro", there is a note of "suspended business". Simultaneously with the death of the proprietress, the lives of the few people who had lived in this store were suddenly impacted; the customers who came to the store for a joyous gathering also scattered all over the place. Takeura had never had a drink in Ginza.In Ginza, where competition is fierce and there are ups and downs from time to time, Yashiro, which has been able to support it for ten years, has become history. In this long river of history, how many men and women met and fell in love here, and how many visitors left their lives here.The death of the proprietress, along with these traces, disappeared. Row upon row of bars in Ginza are divided into independent small universes. Once the owner changes, the visitors suddenly change, and the small universe changes immediately. The closure of "Yashiro" is like a small universe in Ginza has disappeared. After saying goodbye to "Yashiro", Takeura went to the residential area of ​​"Nishi Azabu" where the proprietress lived. The terrain here is undulating and there are many slopes.Turning in from the main street is a high-end residential area, full of quaint local flavors, beautiful apartments and company dormitories have increased a lot in recent years.Embassies of various countries are also located in this area. According to the address reported in the news, Zhupu found a small four-story apartment. Compared with the surrounding beautiful and high-end apartments, it looks simple in appearance, but in fact the inner design is quite scientific and practical. Looking from the outside to the inside, the hall seems to have a management room.Takeura walked through the apartment and came back, he didn't know how to ask the management staff. Zhupu was neither a searcher nor a private detective, but just out of concern for the murdered lady boss, which couldn't be clearly explained to others, so he walked past the apartment again. In a quiet high-end residential area, walking back and forth repeatedly will attract the attention of others. Zhupu finally made up his mind to step into the door of the apartment, even if it was just to confirm how the proprietress's house is now, it would be a worthwhile trip. Just as he was about to step through the gate, a young woman came out. In an instant, the eyes of the two met, and they saluted each other naturally and silently.This is a well-proportioned and beautiful woman with thick long hair and a look of sadness in her eyes. She was wearing a flannel suit, which was generous and soft, and one could tell at a glance that she was a female college student. Zhupu thought she was a resident of the apartment, and he, who was not good at communicating, seized the opportunity of her silent ceremony and asked: "Excuse me, just to inquire, does Yashiro Tokie live here?" Although he knew that he shouldn't live here now, it was just for talking. "Are you visiting Yashiro Tokie?" The woman's expression changed. "is that one……" Although Takeura asked this question, the woman was too embarrassed to answer, but of course she did not come to visit Tokie. "Because I heard that she lived here before." Takeura added awkwardly. "Yashiro Tokie is not at home now, who are you?" The woman asked back, and Takeura found that the other party only called Yashiro Tokie but did not add a title. Maybe she is a relative of Tokie. "This is too rude." Takeura handed her the business card, and added, "Something slightly related to Yashiro..." "Are you a customer in my sister's shop?" She turned her gaze to Zhupu and asked. She seemed to be Tokieda's younger sister who met the best, or should I say the most hateful, person at the gate of the apartment. "Yes, this... are you Yashiro's younger sister? I'm so sorry." Zhupu took advantage of the other party's misunderstanding. "You still don't know about my sister?" Her eyes showed disbelief.The case of Shizhi's murder was widely reported at the time. If she was a customer of her shop, she should have heard or seen the report. The eyes of the younger sister speak. "I didn't expect to meet you here. To be honest, there are some personal matters that have something to do with your sister's misfortune. I want to know where your sister lives. How is the situation now? I want to have a look today. Look." "You said that you have a relationship with your sister... what do you mean?" The sister seemed interested. "Do you have time now, can you spare time?" She glanced at her watch. "I'm going to work as a tutor, but I have half an hour to spare." "That's good! Let's talk while walking." Zhupu's business card, with a well-known bank on it, seemed to have won her trust. They went downhill and walked slowly towards the subway entrance. Zhupu truthfully told Yumiko what happened to her. "You just said that your friend unconsciously pulled a box of matches from your sister's shop out of the criminal's car?" Takeura's words attracted her deeply. "Yes! Even the police suspect that it is related to your sister's case, and it seems that they have started an investigation." "Then, Mr. Takeura... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late. My name is Yumiko, and I'm Tokie's younger sister." At this time, she had just called Zhupu's name and introduced herself, which showed that she was willing to confide in her heart. Since her sister's death, she has moved into her sister's house. It takes a lot of courage for a young woman to dare to live alone in the room where her sister was killed. "Then, is Mr. Takeura doing his own investigation?" Yumiko asked after introducing herself. "For me, failing to protect her is a lifelong shame. I owe her a debt. I want to do my best to investigate, and at least I can catch some clues of the criminal." "You have been frank with me about your personal affairs, and I hate the criminal who killed my sister. I feel that I cannot rely on the police alone, but I am anxious. If the criminal who killed my sister is the same person who raped your lover, then Our enemy is the same, right?" The station was right in front of them, and they stood by the road, talking very speculatively. "It's quite suspicious. The detective from the Komae Police Station who came to my place seems to suspect that the criminal is the same person." "I'd like to ask some more questions. Since I'm out of time today, can we meet again the day after tomorrow?" Yumiko pleaded. "I need your attention more. Maybe we are friends with a common enemy. The victim or the victim's relatives may have unconsciously caught clues about the criminal. When we exchange information with each other, maybe the clues are lurking On the loophole." Yumiko stared into Takeura's eyes, bowed her head and greeted: "Please take care of me." In the investigation headquarters of the Azabu Police Station, 65 regular customers who frequented "Yashiro" and 1,815 business cards kept by the victim were investigated and studied one by one, and the results were not suspected. The staff of the bar "Yashiro" and relevant personnel who entered and exited, as well as the neighbors of the victim's apartment and relevant persons who came and went were excluded from the circle of suspicion. If the criminal gave the victim a business card, he may have withdrawn his own business card from the card holder after committing the crime.Or, the criminal never showed his business card in the first place. Detective Ishii of the Komae Police Station provided the "Yashiro" match held by the victim of the Tama River rape, which made Yoshihara of the Azabu Police Station more suspicious that the murder of the proprietress and the rapist were by the same person. Also, if it is the same person, judging by the number of matches used, it is very likely that the criminal got the matches in Yashiro Tokie's residence. The rape happened about a month after the killing of the proprietress.During this month, the number of matches used cannot be five, so the criminal lost the matches in the car after using five.The rape victim accidentally grabbed the box of matches. When the owner of the business card was ruled out of suspicion, Kishi grabbed a business card and stared at it lost in thought.Yoshihara looked at his face and asked: "Xiao An, do you think there is something wrong with this business card?" "Some things are recorded on the back of this business card, which makes people think deeply." On the back of the business card kept by the victim, the date of meeting with the card holder, the characteristics of appearance, etc. are simply recorded. Yoshihara took the business card from Kishi. The name of Mitsuo Ashino is printed on it, and he works for a medical equipment sales company called "Medik" in Shinjuku City.Ashino is a regular customer who visits "Yashiro" once or twice a month.After review, he was ruled out of suspicion. "The holder of this business card has been reviewed and there is nothing suspicious." "If you are a regular customer, give the owner a business card, and the bill will be charged to the address on the business card." "The name of the first hostess should also be recorded on the back of the business card." "Oh, is it? If you are a regular customer, you usually only give a business card?" "Then, what do you think..." Yoshihara read Kishi's expression. "A person named Ashino may have given his business card to someone and asked him to drink and put the account in Ashino's name." "This is really the case." Yoshihara also agreed with Kishi's association. "Bills are sent to the holder of the business card. If the business card is lent to other customers, the customer will be missed from the search network." "Those who slipped through the net also included customers who visited once or did not hand in their business cards." "I thought maybe some of the regulars had paid their bills on behalf of others a few times." "How about we go meet Michio Ashino?" Yoshihara said it was necessary. They immediately decided to see Mr. Ashino.Ashino's company "Medik" is located in Takadanobaba 3-chome.The company manufactures and sells the recently popular water purifiers and is growing rapidly. Michio Ashino is a kind-hearted gentleman in his fifties.He looked at the business card that the policeman handed him. "I did give Kishimoto this business card." "The Kishimoto you mentioned..." The two detectives beat a small drum in their hearts. "Actually, I don't seem to be responsible. I don't know him well. Two or three years ago, I was interested in collecting insects. I met him in Hakone. The two had a very bad temper. After that, I drank wine together several times. I found that He had a drinking problem, so we gradually alienated him, but I gave him a business card and asked him to go to 'Yashiro' to drink." "You gave Kishimoto your business card, what kind of person is he?" "That's right! This man is about forty years old, he is not tall and has a strong build. He said he runs an auto repair shop in Chofu City, but I haven't verified it." "A small man in his forties, with a strong physique." This coincided with what Yoshihara had heard about the criminal's physical characteristics from Kitahara Miwa. "Do you know Kishimoto's address and phone number?" "I did, I forgot about it now." "Your business card is at the proprietress' Yashiro's house, which means that Kishimoto took this business card to this store in Ginza, right?" "That's the case." Ashino nodded and admitted. "Will you pay for Kishimoto's drinking at 'Yashiro' after that?" "I remember the bill came." "Do you know the amount and date of payment?" "Well, I can't remember exactly. Because it's not a huge amount." I just got to know him when we were harvesting insects, but he invited him to the Ginza Bar and finally paid the bill. I can’t remember exactly how much he paid. This person is generous enough. "When was the last time I saw Kishimoto?" "Recently, it has been more than half a year. One day he came to my company suddenly, said that he hadn't had a drink with me for a long time, and wanted to ask me out. I happened to have a date with someone else, so I declined and put me This business card was given to him." "Didn't we meet again after this?" "I have contacted several times since then, but I always feel that there is a dangerous atmosphere, so I stay away from it." "Dangerous atmosphere, what do you mean?" "I think this person is greedy and wants to borrow money from me. Kishimoto also seemed to sense that I was alienating him, so he didn't ask for anything. Is there anything wrong with Kishimoto now?" "No, it's nothing. Of course you know about the murder of the proprietress Yashiro, right?" "I know. It's because of this that I came to investigate. What a good lady boss, but it's so pitiful that someone plotted against her. Who is the culprit? Is there a target?" "At the moment, we are searching. Regarding Kishimoto's address and contact point, please, please recall it. Maybe write it down in some book." "I'm so sorry, because I don't pay much attention to it. I heard it once, but I don't remember it at all." In the end, that was all Ashino had to offer.When saying goodbye, Ashino took this opportunity to give the two water purifiers an advertising brochure.In a short period of time, the company has developed and grown, and it is admirable to have entrepreneurial courage. "What do you think?" On the way back from Ashino's company, Kishi asked. "There's no need for Ashino to lie. Ashino said that he felt Kishimoto's greed and stayed away from him. I think this is true." "Ashino can't remember Kishimoto's address, it's hard to say whether it's true or not." "Yes. Kishimoto is a different person!" "Ashino said that he noticed that Kishimoto was going to borrow money from him. Then Kishimoto is very tight and his life is not well off." "Perhaps, the staff of 'Yashiro' still have some impressions of Kishimoto?" The two criminal police questioned and investigated the former staff of "Yashiro" one by one. As soon as "Yashiro" closed down, most of these workers were still working in similar shops in Ginza. The two detectives obtained valuable information from Yoko Arakawa, the former waitress of "Yashiro". "I still remember Kishimoto very clearly. I have been to the store three or four times. The first time I came with Ashino from 'Medik'. This person is annoying and pestering. Others in the store Girls avoid him." Yoko frowned and recalled. "You say that you are entangled and annoying, what exactly do you mean?" "He always wants to fumble with his hands and feet, and even puts his hands into his skirts, pulling them out to smell them. It's really disgusting. A person like him must have unsatisfied lust." "Has Kishimoto mentioned his occupation and address?" "He was talking big, he said that he opened several car parks and gas stations in the city, and he boasted that he was surrounded by beautiful women, so I said that there are women who are around, how can they have the time to drink here? He said I was tired of these women." "Has he said anything to the proprietress?" "He said he was going to send the tired woman to 'Yashiro'." "Send the woman to Yashiro, did he say that?" The detective's eyes lit up. "Yes. He made a wish to me and asked me to play with him for 50,000 yen once." A man named Kishimoto left traces in "Yashiro". Whether Kishimoto has anything to do with the case is unclear, but it was just a customer brought by regular customer Michio Ashino. Here, however, significant material was found.At the scene, several unverified fingerprints other than those of the victim were extracted. More than a dozen specific points are required to identify a fingerprint.Without this, a warrant cannot be issued based on fingerprints alone. Since the search headquarters could not extract all the fingerprints of ten fingers at the scene of the crime, they selected the ones with clear lines from the collected continuous fingerprints and single fingerprints, so that they could be rearranged and combined according to the ten fingers to form ten fingerprints. fingerprints of fingers. The criminal police compared these combined fingerprints with Michio Ashino's business card and the unmatched multiple fingerprints collected from the rape victim's hand-held match, and excluded the fingerprints of Ashino, Yashiro Tokie, rape victims and related persons with clear identities , and consider similar patterns, ridge features and impression conditions, etc., and then further compare and combine fingerprints to confirm that they are completely consistent. The search department combined his fingerprints and inquired about the criminal record files on the computer of the Police Department, and reported that there were no matches, and Kishimoto had no previous convictions. However, the files proved that Kishimoto had been in and out of the crime scene where the boss's wife was murdered, and had been in the car of the rapist.Kishimoto is extremely likely to be the same criminal in the murder and rape case. According to Matsuo Ashino, the so-called car repair shop operated by Kishimoto in the Chofu City area was investigated, but there was no such person. As Ashino vaguely sensed, Kishimoto seemed to be disguising his true face.
