Chapter 14 Section 14

While typing on the computer keyboard to write the report, Kusanagi felt as if someone was standing at the desk.Looking up, I saw Mamiya, the section chief, looking down at him. "What, Kusanagi? You can't even type blindly?" "Just talk about me. Chief, do you know how to type blindly?" "Me neither." Gamiya looked around, bent down and said, "Do you have time now?" Kusanagi shook his body and said with a smile, "Just now, the section chief told me that you told me to write the report quickly." "Let's put this matter aside for now. You come with me first. Tatara is still waiting."

"Administrator?" Hearing this name, Kusanagi quickly began to recall his recent words and deeds, wondering if he had made any mistakes. "Don't worry, I don't think his posture seems to be training people. All in all, you come with me first." Before Kusanagi could speak, Mamiya stepped forward.Kusanagi quickly stood up and followed. Walking to the small conference room, Mamiya knocked lightly on the door.please come in.There was a reply from behind the door.It's Totara's voice. Mamiya opened the door and walked in.Kusanagi followed closely behind. Duo Liang took off his shirt and sat on the chair.There are several documents on the conference table.There are also a few photos in it.Although I couldn't tell which town it was, there was a photocopied map on the table.

"Sorry, I called you when you were busy. Okay, let's sit down first." Hearing Tatara's words, Kusanagi and Mamiya sat down on the chairs side by side. "I came here this time to ask Kusanagi to handle an unconventional case." Tatara turned to Kusanagi and said.Although his expression was calm, the eyes behind the glasses were piercing. Kusanagi straightened his back and answered "Yes". "Do you know? Mr. Tsukahara has passed away." The two were taken aback, not knowing what to say.Duo Liang's question obviously exceeded the two's previous expectations.

"I heard some rumors yesterday that he was traveling and died on the way." More than ten years ago, Tsukahara Shoji stayed in the first search section.Later, because he was unwell, he was transferred to another department.Because of the different departments, Kusanagi knew almost nothing about Tsukahara.Kusanagi didn't know he had retired until yesterday. "Mr. Tsukahara is my senior, and he has helped me a lot. It is all thanks to Mr. Tsukahara that I am what I am today." Wish him all the best.Kusanagi lowered his head, wondering if he should say this or not. "Yesterday, I accompanied Mrs. Tsukahara to the scene of his death. The location is here." Saying that, Tatara put a photo in front of Kusanagi.The photo was taken from above and what appears to be some rocky ground. "He was found lying on the rocky ground. Doctors said he died of brain damage."

Kusanagi frowned and said, "Did he slip and fall to the embankment and die?" "The local police also seem to be ready to close the case with the conclusion you just said. They don't even intend to send the body for an autopsy." Hearing Tatara's strange words, Kusanagi suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have some thoughts in his heart. "Any questions?" "I saw Mr. Tsukahara's body in the morgue. After just one glance, I immediately understood. Mr. Tsukahara didn't fall to his death." Tatara looked at Kusanagi and Mamiya, and then said, "Before, I have also seen many photos of the dead who fell to their death. Even if the place where the fall is only a few meters from the ground, as long as there is brain damage, the body will also show symptoms of internal bleeding. But Mr. Tsukahara's remains are almost intact. There were symptoms of internal bleeding. In other words, Mr. Tsukahara probably died before he fell into the rocky ground."

Kusanagi suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.Is it because there is a possibility of homicide in the case?Or is it because of Duo Liang's insightful eyes that he feels fear?Kusanagi himself didn't quite understand. "After seeing the scene, I am even more convinced. Although Mr. Tsukahara always likes to have a drink or two, he has never been drunk. It is not true that he climbed the embankment after being drunk, slipped under his feet and fell to his death. It's nonsense." "Did the local police say something like that?" Mamiya asked.

Duo Duoliang smiled wryly, and shook his head. "If you leave it to the rural police, there is probably no way to determine the cause of death. It would be faster to move the body and transport it here for an autopsy." Gamiya opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you going to dissect here?" "What's the fuss about this? Autopsy the corpse here, and if there is any suspicion of homicide, immediately let the search section over there start operations. Of course, we will also provide them with information without reservation In this way, they will not lose all face. The chief of Glasspool Police Station has agreed with my idea."

Kusanagi looked at the face of Tatara who was talking non-stop like firing a machine gun in front of him with a lot of emotion.With neatly combed hair, at first glance, he looks like a bank employee.However, his actions run counter to his appearance. It is said that when he was a searcher, his actions always had a sense of violent impulse, which made everyone around him sweat for him.After hearing what he said today, Kusanagi felt that the previous rumors about him were not groundless. "So, when will the autopsy be performed?" Hearing Gamiya's question, Tatara smiled slightly: "It's over."

Hey?Kusanagi and Mamiya screamed in unison. "No, to be precise, it shouldn't be considered over yet. Last night, we shipped the body back, and people started an autopsy this morning, but there is no official autopsy report yet. It is said that the cause of death could not be ascertained .” "The cause of death is unknown..." Kusanagi murmured, "So, it wasn't due to brain damage?" "Yes. Although the cause of death is unknown, it is obvious that the head injury of the corpse appeared after death. At the same time, the autopsy personnel also denied the possibility of natural death such as cerebral hemorrhage and heart paralysis. That is to say, It is impossible for Mr. Yuan to die suddenly on the embankment, and then fell down. In addition, apart from the wound on the head, the corpse did not leave any wounds that could cause death."

"There are no wounds on the body, and he didn't die from a sudden illness..." Kusanagi took up the topic of Tatara cautiously, "Is it poisoning?" "Maybe." Tatara nodded, "Right now, autopsy personnel are conducting various analysis and inspections on the corpse. It is actually only a matter of time to find out the cause of Mr. Tsukahara's death. But the essence of the problem is not Here. The point is: Why would a dead person fall down in that kind of place?" He said, pointing to the photo on the table. What Tatara wanted to say, in fact, Kusanagi had already understood it.Tsukahara Shoji was killed.

"It is estimated that a search headquarters should be set up at the Glass Police Station." "It's just a matter of time. It is estimated that the county police headquarters will send an invitation in a short time, asking us to send someone to assist in the search. However, if we wait like this, the progress of the search may lag behind others. Moreover, the other party does not seem to want to give us the initiative to search, so they may not tell us all the information. In other words, we must carry out the search operation alone." "The actual dominance is controlled by the Metropolitan Police Department. Is that what you mean?" Hearing Kusanagi's question, the administrator shook his head. "No. I don't want to rush to the front of the local police station. If they can do a good job of searching and finally find the murderer, then there is no problem. But if they don't seriously If I go to search and handle the case and delay it again and again, and finally lead to the case ending without a problem, then I will face not only the family of the deceased, but also the late Mr. Tsukahara. Therefore, I plan to start the search operation alone. If I can If we find any useful clues, we will provide them to the local county police headquarters without hesitation." "You mean to let me participate in the search you said alone?" "That's right." Duo Liang shifted his gaze to Gamiya, "how is it? Your case has been closed, and it is estimated that there will not be too many cases for you to handle for the time being. Of course, I I also know that this situation will not last long, but before the next dispatch, can you temporarily second him to me for a few days?" "Well... I have no objection." Mamiya turned to look at Kusanagi. "Why me?" Kusanagi asked. A gleam of coldness flashed across Duo Liang's eyes. "Don't want to?" "I don't mean that either. I just feel a little weird. In fact, there are many seniors in the hall who are more familiar with Mr. Tsukahara than I am." "I know that. For example, I know him better than you do." "This... I know that you, the administrator, cannot personally come forward with this matter." Administrators generally command and manage several groups at the same time.Right now, several of the teams have cases to deal with. "In this Metropolitan Police Department, no one knows Mr. Tsukahara better than me. In other words, if the person who came forward to search is not me, then everyone is the same in terms of familiarity with the deceased." "Because everyone is the same, so you just appointed me, who has nothing to do for the time being?" "Hey, Kusanagi." There was a trace of questioning in Mamiya's tone, "Please pay attention to your words." "It's okay. In fact, it's no wonder Kusanagi has doubts in his heart." Tatara smiled meaningfully and picked up a document, "As I said just now, the county police haven't sent any Assistance request. At this time, if our actions are too public, the other party will not be very happy. If we offend them, things will become more troublesome in the future. Having said that, if we If the understanding of the local situation is completely blank, then no action can be taken. We must find a way to collect intelligence around the scene. Then, how to solve this problem?" Duo Liang held the document in his hand Pushing it in front of Kusanagi, "I asked the young police officer in the glass police station, hoping to find out who else lived in the hotel where Mr. Tsukahara lived. To my surprise, except Mr. Tsukahara Besides, there was only one guest living in that hotel. What surprised me even more was that the guest was actually an old acquaintance of ours." Kusanagi reached out and picked up the document.Judging from the records on the document, it was an inn run by a person named Shigeharu Kawahata, named "Green Rock Village".And the name of another traveler in the hotel is—— "Yukawa?" Seeing this, Kusanagi suddenly raised his head, "Where does that guy live?" "At the moment, he seems to be still there." Tatara smiled slightly, "Now do you understand? Why should I ask you to be in charge of this matter."
