Chapter 9 second quarter

It was completely bright all around.The stretcher carrying the corpse was placed on the grass next to the track, and the relevant disposal has been done, and it can be carried away at any time.The straw mat that covered the corpse was covered with dew, which shone beautifully in the morning light. At first, the station attendants who came from Jiuxi Station and the local inspectors believed that the accident was nothing more than a simple suicide by jumping from the rail.They believed that he should have jumped onto the track when the train was coming, and the whole person was knocked into the air in an instant, and finally fell into the ditch.But as soon as they saw the body, they realized that something was weird.

The brown jacket worn by the corpse was stained with wet blood on the left chest, and when he was turned over, a hole was opened at the shoulder blade.Take a closer look, there are black scorched marks around the hole.Regardless of whether he committed suicide or homicide, it is clear that he was never killed by a train.So they rushed back to the station and reported to the public security officer at Omiya Station by railway phone.After hearing the report, the public security officer immediately contacted the Omiya Department. Police officers came to the scene to investigate and found that the deceased had very little bleeding.Originally, the blood should be splashed in a large area, but there was almost no blood at the scene.After examining the wound, it was determined that it was caused by a pistol shot at close range.Judging from the location of the wound, it was definitely not something he could do by himself, but no murder weapon could be found near the scene.According to the existing clues, the police judged that the man was not killed after being hit by a train, but that someone shot him and transported his body to this place.And not only the murder weapon, but also the missing shoe on his left foot could not be found no matter how hard he looked.It can also be seen from this that the body has been transported.

The deceased was about fifty-five or six years old.Judging by his well-maintained gray beard and well-fed appearance, he lived an above-average life.His summer clothes were also high-quality wool, with the logo of a first-class tailor.But after seeing the business card holder, the identity of the deceased was finally confirmed. Kosuke Nishinohata is not a celebrity, and Towa Textile is not a first-class company, but the people present, even the station staff, know their names.This is because during the strike, the Donghe Textile Union revealed that the required items were different from the general ones, and the president's unyielding attitude attracted widespread criticism from the public.In the photos of President Kosuke Nishinohata published in newspapers and magazines, the distinctive beard left a deep impression on everyone who saw it.

After receiving the report, the Urawa Police Headquarters and the District Attorney's Office dispatched personnel to the scene.After re-conducting a detailed investigation, the case was handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department to take over the investigation.And it was after 8 o'clock in the morning on June 2nd when Tamagawa got the notification from the Nishi-no-hata mansion in Yokacho.
