Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 70 The Indifferent Bystander

A body was found on Fenglin Mountain.

The police who received the report arrived and found that the body was exactly the same as the body in the case two months ago.

The deceased was Aika Tamura, female, 32 years old, a bank employee.

Usually when the murderer subdues the opponent, he will tie his hands behind his back to restrain the opponent's actions.

But this corpse had its hands tied in front.

The cause of death was death from excessive blood loss.

An arrow was stuck in the center of Aika Tamura's chest, the eardrums of both ears were pierced with something sharp, and her eyes were tied up with ropes.

"Megure Police Department. This was found in the pocket of the deceased's coat."

Mu Mu Shisan took the transparent bag from the local area, and there was a note in it, which said: You have eyes, can't you see?Have ears, can't you hear?
This is what Jesus said in the Gospel of Mark.

Only this case is different.

That is, the murderer moved the corpse from the murder scene to the rock, as if making an exhibition of the product.

After searching almost half of the hill, the police finally found the first crime scene.

A puppet was tied to the tree, with a big cross drawn on its face with a red pen.

There is also a circle of iron wire tied around my body, I don't know what it is used for.

All of this is exactly the same as the case two months ago.

This was not disclosed by the police.

So it can be concluded that it is not an imitation crime.

When all the traces were tied with yellow belts, it was unexpectedly discovered that they were arranged in a neat straight line, as if deliberately so.

The body was sent to the medical examiner's office.

The final result: In the blood, the ingredients of the sleeping pills were detected.

There were no bruises around the eyes, and the rope was tied a long time after the victim's death, exactly the same as in the previous case.

"This is where the rope on the victim's body was first untied. Such a neat section should have been untied by the murderer to let the victim escape on purpose."

Because of the darkness of the night, I couldn't see the road ahead clearly.

So when I slipped accidentally, I rolled down the rock and hit my head.

The reason why the hands were tied in front of the body was actually done by the murderer on purpose.

The purpose is to allow the victim to move in the mountains to the greatest extent possible.

"But why did you let the victim escape? Isn't it afraid that you won't be caught?"

"Of course it's to hunt down prey."

Mu Mu Shisan was taken aback for a moment, and finally looked at the person who made the sound, showing a surprised expression: "Tang, Miss Tang?"

"Mumu Police Department, anyway, I called the police, why are you so surprised?"

After being reminded by the other party, Mu Mu Shisan finally remembered.

By the way, I also remember that when I asked why I came back to this barren mountain, the other party's answer was: Of course it was to invite people to climb the mountain, so I stepped on the spot in advance.

No matter how you think about it, it feels a little suspicious.

"Before killing, let the other party feel fear. Then, like hunting, catch up step by step."

"All of this should have been carefully planned, and he even watched the victim walk towards the last hurdle he set up."

It feels like a game.

Near the mountainside, there is a place that sells drinks.

Maybe you can ask something from the boss there.

Of course, there may be nothing to ask.

After all, in the middle of the night, most people are still in the warm bed at home, dreaming sweet dreams.

"People who come to climb the mountain don't know how to check in. And if everyone wears mountaineering clothes, they actually feel the same, and they won't leave a deep impression."

The man's voice sounded a little hoarse, he coughed a few times and said, "Buy a cup of coffee and continue asking."

Before being a public who is enthusiastic about providing information, I also don't forget my own job.

"Then have two glasses."

In this cold weather, warm hot coffee can really make the body more comfortable.

After taking the coffee handed by the other party, Qinghai Chuantang asked again: "It should be troublesome to carry so many things up?"

Another man in black pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Actually, if you drive, you can go all the way to the parking lot below. Then you can start moving up from there. It will save a lot of effort."

"Then, Police Officer Chuanxi. I leave the monitoring to you. If there is any news, I hope you can let me know."

"This is a matter for our criminal police, and we will naturally be responsible to the end, so don't get involved."

Qinghai Chuantang touched his nose, and sure enough the other party's dislike was real.

After leaving Maple Leaf Mountain, Qinghai Chuantang found the address of Tiancun Aijia's home.

It was her younger sister who opened the door: Mana Tamura.

The things in the living room were stacked randomly, even messy, as if they hadn't been cleaned for several days.

On the other hand, Aika Tamura's room was very clean and everything was neatly stacked.

The books on the bookshelves are arranged in a special order, as if in a library.

"Back to Basics", "Meditation on Interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew", "Letter from the Devil's Family". He is really a devout Christian believer.

On the shelf, there was a photo of her with a man.

Although it's a little close, it doesn't look very close.

In the background is a church.

Therefore, Qinghai Chuantang came to the Mihua branch where Tiancun Aijia worked to learn about some situations.

"She got off work that day, and she always does like this. Apart from work and church, she has no other schedule."

"Then she doesn't have a good relationship with the colleagues around her?" Qinghai Chuantang then asked.

"That's not the case, it's just that I'm a little introverted at ordinary times. However, it may be because of that incident."

"I heard that five years ago, she made a big mistake in the sub-branch where she used to work. She accidentally processed a transaction of 50 million yuan into a transaction of [-] billion yuan."

"It's also because of this that she was transferred to our branch."

As if thinking of something again, the colleague continued: "However, I heard that she won the award last year, so I will finally give her a promotion this year."

Qinghai Chuantang recorded in his notebook, "What was the specific situation at that time?"

"The last time our bank was robbed by robbers, the robbers took the child's mother as a hostage and threatened with a knife. At that time, Section Chief Ai Jia stepped forward."

Speaking of this, the colleague smiled and said, "It feels like a different person."

The main religions in Japan are Shintoism and Buddhism, while Christianity has less than 1% followers.

So when it comes to finding a place for two people to take a photo together, it seems very simple.

"Starting investigations from former criminals with similar criminal records is the most basic way for the police to investigate cases. So, is there another robbery nearby?"

Although there is a misunderstanding in identity.

But being able to know how to preemptive strikes seems to be a master.

Before he could speak, the other party went on to say, "I have repented to the Lord, and I will never commit another crime."

"What's more, you have no evidence to prove that I am the criminal. Otherwise, what is waiting for me should be cold handcuffs."

After hearing this, she smiled.

"Mr. Akio, what you said is very correct. But I found you because I wanted to know about Miss Aijia. I think you should know something."

The smile on Akio Ogoshi's face gradually disappeared, "Did something happen to her?"

"She is dead. To be precise, she should have been killed."

His lips trembled slightly.

Akio Ogoshi lost his family very early.

And Aika Tamura was the only one who visited him in prison.

He even helped him prepare for exams and review, hoping that he could become a clergyman and rescue those who suffered from sin.

In the beginning, he did resent each other.

If it wasn't for her, how could he be in prison?
But when he was in prison, Tamura Aika chattered and talked to him a lot.

He also said that he had committed a sin five years ago, and even after reading the Bible several times, he still felt tortured.

She didn't want to be like this in the future, so she wanted to help him and atone for the mistakes she had made.

What happened five years ago?
Qinghai Chuantang found Mana Tamura again, hoping to get some clues from her.

Unless it's a secret that can't be told until death.

Generally speaking, people tend to tell their secrets to those close to them as a way to vent and soothe their inner emotions.

"Five years ago? At that time, there was indeed such a thing."

It happened right in front of the bank where Aika Tamura worked.

A man holds a knife in one hand and tugs at a woman by the collar with the other.

The woman finally broke free and knelt on the ground to ask a bank employee for help.

But at this time, the man came over, pointed at her with a knife, seemed to say something, and kicked the woman on the back with his foot.

The employee broke free and hurried to the side, fearing that he would be hurt.

Then, the man grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her forward.

The woman broke free again, desperately trying to escape.

However, she was still caught.

The man waved the fruit knife in his hand, as if to warn the people around him not to come forward.

There was a man who seemed to want to step forward to stop all this, but was held back by his girlfriend, telling him not to take risks.

After all, an unarmed person, compared with a person holding a sharp knife, let alone an ordinary person, has no chance of winning.

It will only cause unnecessary casualties.

In the end, the ending of the woman was that the man was killed in public.

At that time, someone recorded all this and uploaded it on the Internet.

Tamura Aika, who saw the video, was stimulated and felt very guilty.

I think that if I had been braver at that time, maybe it would not have caused such a result.

And this has become a lingering shadow in her heart.

"No matter how much I tried to persuade her to forget about it, she would just repeat one sentence, 'If only I had held her hand then'."

If he had done that at that time, maybe other people would have helped, right?

An indelible, intense sense of guilt.

"Help me, save me, save me I don't even know him!"

Please, please—

help me!
