Tokyo Police

Vol 2 Chapter 9: Start with motivation

"Shuichi-kun, shall we go back now?" After saying goodbye from the Yamaguchi Police Department's house, Kanako saw that Lin Xiuyi suddenly became silent, so she broke the depressed atmosphere in the car by asking about the next arrangement.

"If it's not troublesome, I still have a place to go!" Lin Xiuyi woke up from his thoughts. He realized that he had been immersed in the case and ignored the feelings of fellow traveler Kanako.

But, what can be done about this? When he left the Yamaguchi Police Department's home, Lin Xiuyi got a complete police report on the Buddha Temple case. As a policeman, Lin Xiuyi can understand the feelings of a retired criminal policeman who secretly kept a case that he could not solve. Chiaki Yamaguchi did this with great guilt towards the victim. Even if he might cause himself a lot of trouble by giving this information to someone other than the police without authorization, he would not want this case to lie in the file cabinet of the Yamanashi Prefectural Police Headquarters and continue to sleep forever.

Lin Xiuyi followed the navigation instructions and drove the car to the Yamanashi Prefectural Archives. He showed his police account in front of Kanako's staff facing the library. Although Kanako had long suspected Lin Xiuyi's identity, she was still surprised when she saw the police handbook.

"The Metropolitan Police Department's search section! Lin Xiuyi! The police department supplement? Are you the police department supplement?" Kanako asked curiously. So young is the police department's supplement, isn't it true!

"This matter will be discussed later. I want to investigate the archives of the Buddha Village in recent years. Do you still remember that Kengo Yamamoto mentioned that during the most difficult time after the war, some villagers once picked it up from the wreckage of the Buddha Temple. Is it about Jin Xiaojing? And later, the media also reported that someone had picked up Jin Xiaojing in the stream near the Buddha Temple! This tells us one thing, at least the treasure thing is not groundless!"

Lin Xiuyi whispered to Kanako while the staff left.

"Then you mean that Ayu's death may be related to the treasure?" Kanako asked in surprise.

"I do have this idea. The Yamaguchi Police Department told us that Ayu is an unmarried woman and has a fiancé in her hometown! After the incident, the Yamanashi Prefectural Police investigated Ayu's fiancé and confirmed that Ayu's fiancé was unmarried. Proof of presence. So I think, in terms of criminal motive, the possibility of love killing is not high!" Lin Xiuyi continued to explain to Kanako.

"Then where do you plan to start?" Kanako asked curiously. The moment Lin Xiuyi revealed her identity, Kanako realized that this was a rare learning opportunity. After all, TV screenwriters didn't always have the opportunity to experience the search process with the police up close. And a police officer like Lin Xiuyi who is willing to share his search ideas is unique. The police always regard the media as a natural enemy, and they are worried that people in the media will disrupt the search and deployment and interfere with the work of the police. And this time, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow Lin Xiuyi to continue to track down the murder in the secret room of the Buddha Temple 10 years ago. Kanako was glad she didn't get the answer to the shoe print puzzle, and went straight back to Tokyo. Her support for Lin Xiuyi brought even greater rewards.

"Investigating homicides, in terms of motives, can basically be divided into several general types. In view of the age of the victim Ayu, the first thing I consider is emotional entanglement, which is commonly known as love murder! The Yamaguchi Police Department once investigated Ayu. His fiancé means that the Yamanashi prefectural police have tracked down the clue of love and murder. From the results, it seems that this direction may be difficult to get through..." Lin Xiuyi patiently analyzed for Kanako, and Kanako couldn't help nodding.

"The next thing I ruled out was passion killing! Because the scene was set up as a closed room, it can be seen from this that the murderer was very calm! If my guess about the footprints is correct, he is killing the dead. After Ayu, he did not escape from the Buddhist temple in a panic. Instead, the murderer patiently waited for Yamamoto Kengo to go up the mountain, and found the body in Yamamoto Kengo. , this courage and resourcefulness alone, is not the kind of guy who recklessly kills people..."

"And among the remaining motives for committing crimes, I am more inclined to invade wealth and kill people. Do you remember the weapon that killed Ayu? It is a rib handed down from the Warring States Period, and it is very valuable..."

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, the staff of the archives returned to the counter. After confirming Lin Xiuyi's identity, they began to upload all the information about the Buddha Village from the computer according to Lin Xiuyi's request. After Lin Xiuyi and Kanako thanked them, they walked into the viewing area that was not open to the public, and sat down in front of the computer to get busy.

Lin Xiuyi first opened the police plan file given to him by the Yamaguchi Police Department. This information is much more complete than Kanako's. The information contained pictures of each piece of evidence found at the crime scene~www.wuxiahere.com~ The location of the deceased's body when it was found, and Lin Xiuyi first paid attention to the traces of footprints.

Lin Xiuyi stared earnestly at the photo of the footprints in the snow, and quickly gave up his original idea.

The footprints on the photo are very clear, and there is no trace of overlap. In addition, there are photos of the shoes that Yamamoto Kengo was wearing at the time. Maybe it was because of the frequent mountain trails. Yamamoto's shoe prints had a large piece of obvious wear on the outside of the forefoot. The average person wears the position on the heel. This feature is also fully reflected in the photographs of the footprints.

"Looks like I still take it for granted, things really aren't that simple!" Lin Xiuyi said to himself.

"Xiuichi-kun, did you find anything?" Kanako asked proactively.

"The footprints are very clear, and there are no traces of re-stepping, so my assumption is not valid. It seems that we are back to the starting point!" Footprints for comparison. Even the layman Kanako quickly saw the way.

"Then what should we do next?" Kanako asked anxiously.

Lin Xiuyi did not feel annoyed that his assumption was overturned, but he answered confidently: "I want to find out about the treasures of the Buddha Village, do you remember Yamamoto Kengo telling us the whole story of rebuilding the Buddha Village? In the village When it was most needed, a few small golden sentences appeared like this? Don't you think it was a bit too deliberate? Now we already know that treasures once appeared in the wreckage of the Buddha Temple and the stream below the mountain. But why the process of rebuilding the Buddha Temple There are no rumors about the treasure? And I suspect that the rib cage of the Warring States period on the chest of the deceased Ayu is actually a part of the treasure!"
