Chapter 42 third quarter

According to the clues provided by Xiao San, the police arrested Yamashita Xiong the day after the body was found. Yamashita fits all the boxes for a murderer. He was the apprentice of the victim Shimoda Haruki, but he refused to work seriously and always borrowed money from Haruichi, and he borrowed nearly one million.For this reason, Haruki has been scolding him recently. At about ten o'clock that night when the incident occurred, Yamashita left the apartment of his cohabiting girlfriend, leaving only one sentence, "Come back as soon as I finish my work."His girlfriend confirmed that he was wearing white cotton trousers and a red and gray striped sweater.The sweater was also found at his residence.

Yamashita denied the crime in the interrogation room.He claimed that he did meet Haruyoshi Shimoda that night, but only to repay part of the loan. The meeting place was in a park 200 meters away from the crime scene.After handing over 200,000 cash to Chunji, the two broke up. When asked how the 200,000 yuan was raised, Yamashita refused to answer at first, but maybe he was afraid that the suspicion would get deeper and deeper, so he finally confessed that he won it by playing a gambling game of mahjong.This point is well documented, but Yamashita's suspicion has not been eliminated because no 200,000 cash was found in Haruyoshi Shimoda's belongings.

In addition to the stripes on the sweater, the police also attached great importance to the testimony of "two people standing and talking in an alley", which shows that the murderer and the victim knew each other. After several unsuccessful interrogations, the investigator summoned Masaki Kozo to the police station and asked him to identify Yamashita's appearance in the interrogation room through the one-way mirror. "That's the man." Xiaosan testified. "That day, I was walking halfway happily. After drinking a glass of beer at the grocery store, I thought: "Ah, I have to work hard next week" while walking to the apartment. But passing the small road When I was walking in the alley, I heard strange voices. It was very suspicious to know that there would be people in that kind of place. I thought to myself what was going on, and I glanced casually, and saw two people in the alley, a fat The fat one and the thin and tall one stood facing each other. Maybe it was because the atmosphere was very tense. I felt something was wrong, so I had the impression of both of them. It would have been nice if I had looked at the thin man carefully at that time, because he was the murderer .Well, yes, he was wearing a red and gray striped sweater. I thought at the time, this man is really dressed. But I never dreamed that it would become an important testimony later.”

Xiaosan talked incessantly, not even bothering to touch the coffee in the paper cup.It was the break time of the factory, and the audience was all odd-job aunts. "Hey, this is a great achievement." An aunt said in admiration, and the others nodded in unison. "Oh, I can't talk about the credit, it's just a coincidence. However, if I can't remember anything, I'm afraid the murderer is still at large. So, it can be considered a contribution." "It's not just a contribution, it's a great contribution." The aunt said. "Really? Well, it really is." Xiaosan drank the cold coffee contentedly.

Among these odd-job aunts, some of them heard Xiaosan talking about it for the second time, but he spoke with elation and spit, and no one could interrupt his excitement.As for the regular employees, they didn't come to this rest place even during the break time, because they were tired of hearing about his sightings from the first day. "Mr. Criminal Police told me..." Xiaosan took out a cigarette from his pocket, and smoked one slowly as if trying to trick him, "I will go to the trial myself." "Hey, go to court?" The aunts showed simple expressions of surprise, this was the first time they had heard this.

"This is a big event, and your witness is really important." "Probably so. The police are all relying on my testimony. I have the final say on whether he is guilty or not. Although the murderer is a villain, if he is sentenced to death, it will be unpleasant to think about it later. It's a little heavy." Xiao San put on a sad face, but couldn't hide his happiness in his eyes. In fact, in the past two or three days, it is not an exaggeration to describe his life as "glorious".As long as the testimony about the arrest of the murderer is mentioned, everyone is willing to hear it, and after hearing it, they are full of admiration and admiration.

This is an experience he has never had in his life.In the past, no one paid attention to him and thought he was insignificant. He originally thought that he would be nothing more than that until his death. However, after the murder, everything changed 180 degrees.His testimony has affected the fate of many people. For example, he only lightly said "I saw him", and that person was punished. Around the apartment, Xiaosan's testimony is also well-known, because he would talk about it every time he went shopping in a nearby store. "To be honest, I witnessed the murderer and was asked by the police to testify. It's really troublesome."

At this point, most of the other party will be startled, and can't wait to hear the following, so he will talk about the story in a pretentious manner.I don't know if it's the effect of this action, but when the nearby housewives meet him recently, they will also greet him, and sometimes ask: "What happened to that case?" Feel like a star. While telling it over and over again, the content is constantly being sorted out.Even the places that were originally vague are filled up unconsciously.In fact, this is purely superfluous, but he himself does not realize it.Before he knew it, he began to have illusions, taking the fabricated content as facts.
