Chapter 10 Section 3

The criminal police from the first search section, the mobile search team and forensic personnel sent by the county police headquarters arrived at the scene of the murder, conducted a carpet-style on-site evidence search again, and investigated the archery site discovered by Yong Zuo. Xinghui and Junhe also came.The person in charge of hearing the case from them is the criminal police of the first investigation department.The county police headquarters also sent three criminal police officers to the company.The directors should have heard about this matter, and they must be gathering at this moment, worrying about how to deal with the aftermath.

The criminal investigator at the prefectural police headquarters was examining the body, and Yusaku was among the crowd taking notes.An associate professor from the Forensic Science Laboratory of the National University of Medical Sciences also participated in the autopsy and provided opinions.After a preliminary investigation, an unexpected fact was discovered, Masaki Sugai seemed to have died of poisoning. "Poisoned?" A criminal policeman made an unbelievable voice, "What poison?" "I don't know yet. It seems to have caused respiratory paralysis. It may be a neurotoxin. The arrow may be poisonous." The gentle and elegant associate professor said cautiously.

The body was sent to the forensic science classroom of the designated university for forensic autopsy.At this time, journalists running social news had flocked to him, and everywhere they could see reporters stalking criminal policemen they knew, trying to find out the inside story. "He Cang." After the autopsy, the criminal chief stopped Yuzuo and ordered him to go to Gua Sheng's house. Hearing the word "Gua Sheng", Yong Zuo's heart beat slightly faster. "Investigate about the crossbow?" "Well. The murder weapon seems to be Mr. Naoaki's relic. I heard that when they went to check, the crossbow disappeared from the cabinet where it was originally stored."

"The murderer took it?" "It should be, you should go and ask the relevant people right away. However, there are a lot of people who need to be asked, and a few criminal police will also go. The forensic personnel should also go." "understood." "Oh, that's right. From now on, you will make up a team with the Oda Police Department of the First Investigation Division, and you must follow his instructions." The section chief pointed to a burly man about two meters tall.The man was wearing a gray and black suit, his hair was combed back, and he looked about the same age as Yusaku, but his position was one level higher.

"Yes." After Yusaku replied, he came to Oda and greeted him.Oda's eye sockets were sunken, and his bloodshot eyes rolled around, looking down at Yusaku. "Keep quiet first, this is my first instruction." The Oda Police Department said in a low and flat voice. "If there is no need to speak, I will naturally keep quiet." As soon as he met his eyes, Yuzuo immediately told himself to calm down. They drove Yongzuo's car to Guasheng's house.Oda sat on the passenger seat with his long legs curled up, writing something in a notepad and muttering to himself.

Yusaku holds the steering wheel in his hands, thinking about Akihiko Guaou.Maybe I'll see that man later.Thinking about it this way, he couldn't suppress his uneasiness, but unbelievably, a feeling of nostalgia surged in his heart.He was confused for a moment. Guasheng Akihiko attracted Yusaku's attention not only because of his strong competitive psychology in schoolwork and sports, but also for a special reason.It happened when I graduated from elementary school. The graduation ceremony is held in the same auditorium as the entrance ceremony.All the students lined up in the same order as on the day of admission, and received their graduation certificates from the principal.A national flag was pasted behind the podium. Everyone followed the usual ceremony, looked at the national flag, and sang the Li song.

Yuzuo's father did not come, but many parents of graduates attended.Parents greet the teacher with their children. When everyone started to disperse, Akihiko Kawao's father appeared.The car stopped in front of the main entrance, and a man in a brown suit got out. It didn't feel like he was here for a graduation ceremony, but just to pick up his children. The brave teacher ran over immediately, smiling all over his face, bowing slightly, talking to that person, and his attitude towards other students' parents was very different. Yusaku stopped and looked at them, just as the man in the suit turned his face towards him.Yusaku was a little taken aback when he saw that face, as if he had seen it somewhere before.After the car left exhaust fumes and sped away, Yusaku remembered who that man was—absolutely yes, that man was the one who came to his house when Sanae from the Red Brick Hospital died, the one who had a long talk with his father, and touched the touch him gentleman!

Why is that person Gua Sheng's father? Yusaku watched the car leave in astonishment. Yusaku also remembered one more thing: Thinking about it carefully, the first time he and Akihiko Kuwao met was also in the red brick hospital where he and Sanae shared memories. Could it be that Guasheng father and son are related to Sanae's death? What kind of relationship would that be? This question makes Akihiko Kawao a more important person in Yusaku's heart. From the murder scene Zhenxian Temple to Guasheng's house, it took fifteen minutes at normal speed.The criminal police and forensic personnel who arrived first entered through the gate and were heading for the front door.Yong Zuo parked the car in front of the door and followed behind them.

Standing at the forefront is the Western Police Department of the prefectural police headquarters.He is not tall and his face is not big, but his upright posture makes people feel majestic. Walking to the porch, a beautiful woman in her forties, named Yayezi Guasheng, was greeted by the wife of Naoaki Guasheng.Yusaku is very clear that she is Naoaki's continuation. "Where's the room for the crossbow?" West asked. "My husband's study on the second floor." Yayezi replied. "I heard that relatives gathered in the house." "Yes. Because we are sorting out my husband's belongings...they are all in the hall now."

"Excuse me." Xixi took off his shoes, and the other detectives did the same. West took a look at his subordinates and ordered: "Oda, Wakura and the forensic personnel will go to the study with me. The others will go to the lobby and ask questions one by one." So Ayeko called the maid and asked her to take the detectives other than Oda and Yusaku to the hall, while she led Yusaku and them up the stairs beside her. --On the second floor, there is a long corridor with doors next to each other on both sides.At the end of the corridor, there seems to be a terrace, and the sky can be seen.Ayako was about to open the door in front of her, but Oda stopped her and opened it by herself.

"This is my husband's study." Yayezi said. As soon as Xixi walked in, he immediately exclaimed: "It's really big!" Yuzuo felt the same way.This study is much larger than the entire apartment he rents now. Yayezi pointed to the wooden cabinet by the wall and said that there was originally a crossbow in it.Oda put on his gloves and opened the door of the cabinet. Antiques such as guns and swords were lined up inside.West ordered the forensic personnel to collect fingerprints, and he took Yayezi to the window so as not to interfere with their work. "Anyone know there's a crossbow here?" West asked. Ayako tilted her head in bewilderment. "The day before yesterday was my husband's Qiqi, so I think most of the people present know it." "Oh why?" "Actually..." Ayako said, Akihiko showed everyone Naoaki's collection on the night of Qiqi.The gathering of relatives today seems to be related to that incident. West thought for a moment, then asked, "Ma'am, when was the last time you saw a crossbow?" "Last night, but I think it was still in the study this morning. Before my college-age son went out, he told me that the crossbow in Dad's room was confiscated. It must have been taken by someone when the artwork was moved downstairs yesterday." It was taken out. So I asked Kami, a young maid, to put it away." "When was that?" "Before visitors came to the house... about half past nine, I think." "When did you find out that the crossbow was missing?" Oda said for the first time. "Just now. The patrolman came to the house and said that he heard that there was a crossbow in my house. He wanted to confirm it." "Have you come to this study several times today?" "No, I'm busy greeting the people in the hall today..." "Who else has been here?" "Well..." She turned her head to think, "No one should come here today...I'll ask the maid or daughter-in-law, maybe they know something." Yong Zuo reacted to the word "daughter-in-law".It turns out that Akihiko Guasheng is already married. Yusaku thought, he also lost on this point - he is still single so far. "The only people who come to the house today are those gathered in the hall downstairs?" "No, that..." Yayezi said, besides the women gathered downstairs, their husbands also came to see the distribution of the estate before noon.Although their time in this room is very short, it is not difficult to sneak into this room by chance. "Is there anyone with a bag?" Yuzuo asked the first question. "Bao?" Yayezi showed puzzled eyes. "Big bags, or paper bags." She shook her head: "I don't remember." "Oh." Yuzuo didn't ask further.He was referring to the bag or paper bag used to hold the crossbow, the murderer could not have taken the crossbow in a fair manner. West seems to have sensed Yuzuo's thoughts and said, "We should also ask other people about this matter." Oda then asked the way to enter this study, and first learned that he could go up the stairs on the first floor. "You can also come in directly from the outside? I just saw that there are stairs outside the house." "Yes, there is. On the terrace at the end of the corridor, there is a staircase leading downstairs." Yusaku and the others followed Yayako to the corridor, opened the glass door and walked out to the terrace. Looking down, they could see a staircase leading to the backyard, from the backyard to the back door in a short time. "There is still this method..." The Western Police Department said to itself, and then asked Yayezi. "This glass door is locked, who has the key?" "Me, and my son." "Son means..." "Eldest son Akihiko." "Oh..." Xixi touched the unshaven mustache on his chin, "He must be at the company today?" "He went to work. But not to the company." "He doesn't work at UR Densan?" Oda asked. "No. He said that he didn't want to inherit his father's career... as an assistant professor in the Neurosurgery Department of Tonghe Medical University." Yuzuo's chest throbbed, the brain surgeon... "What a difference!" West said. "Did you tell him about the murder?" "Yes. He said to go to Mr. Sugai immediately." "Oh." The purpose of coming to the second floor was almost achieved, and Yong Zuo and the others also went downstairs and entered the hall.The four criminal police officers were divided into two groups and questioned seven or eight related persons respectively.At one point, West gathered his subordinates and briefly relayed Yayezi's words, asking them to ask questions based on that information. After they each returned to their posts, Xixi asked Yayezi: "These are the only people at home now?" She looked around the hall, and then said, "There are two more maids, who are probably in the kitchen. Oh, and my daughter-in-law. She said she was not feeling well, and she went back to the annex to rest." "Annex? Is she too uncomfortable to accept our inquiries?" "No, I don't think so." Nishi nodded, and ordered Oda and Yusaku to go to the annex for questioning. "However, you have to be careful not to burden the young lady." Xixi added this sentence, definitely because he felt the weight of Gua Sheng's surname. Go straight across the courtyard from the main house to the annex.Oda strode forward, Yusaku following closely behind.Compared to when the West was there, Oda seemed to hold his head up even higher. It is said to be an annex, but in fact it is no different from a self-contained portal, with a porch and a western-style gate inside. Oda pressed the intercom button next to the door and heard a young woman answering the door.Oda reported his identity and name, and the other party responded, "Okay, I'll open the door right away." Soon, the door opened, and a tall woman in a white sweater appeared. "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. My surname is Oda, and I belong to the County Police Investigation Section 1. This is the Wakura Inspection Director of the Shimadzu Police Station." After Oda introduced, Yusaku bowed his head to say hello, then raised his head and looked at the other person's face again. A thought flashed through Yongsaku's mind: Why is the woman in front of him so surprised? But then, he was replaced by astonishment. Mei... He swallowed the call almost out of his mouth.
