Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 329 Chapter 326. Sudden Death

Afternoon, Yugami Detective Agency.

Kyushu Cheng hurried to the office and found that besides Yushen Key, there was another visitor inside.

"Long time no see, little friend from Kyushu."

A meticulous young man wearing a police uniform sat on the sofa. He was Officer Takagi, who had been cooperating with Yugami Key.

Kyushu Cheng was not surprised by the police's appearance. After all, this incident involved a murder and must have alerted the police.

"You really took care of me when I was in the nursing home. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you again." Officer Takagi stood up and said politely.

"You're too polite. I'm also passionate and can't bear to see this kind of bullying of the elderly happening." Kyushu Cheng said and sat on the chair opposite.

"Very good. Now that all the employees of the Yugami Detective Agency are here, it's time to talk about business." Yugami Key, who was sitting at his desk checking files, suddenly raised his head and said:

"Let Police Officer Takagi introduce the details. He is the person in charge of this case, so he asked us to investigate together."

The police in Wano have always had the habit of inviting private detectives to assist in investigating cases. The reason why Officer Takagi came to visit this time is self-evident.

"At about nine o'clock last night, the police received a report from the Ushimura family and the Miji family at the same time, saying that their children had not returned home and had lost contact." Officer Takagi held hands together, arched his body forward, and said:
"Generally speaking, a missing person case can only be filed after the target has been missing for at least 48 hours. However, both of their families have quite a background, so the police immediately searched the two children, and then..."

Officer Takagi took out a photo of the scene, and the two of them came closer.

"How could this happen?" Jiuzhou Cheng frowned.

In the picture, the bodies of two teenagers were strangled by hemp ropes and hung from the ceiling of an abandoned building.

From their ashen faces, it can be determined that the two deceased people are Ushimura and Miji.

What is concerning is that the two teenagers have signs hanging on their chests, with several eye-catching characters written in blood on them:
【Bullyers deserve to be killed! ! 】

"Was the sign left by the murderer?" Jiuzhou Cheng took a deep breath and asked calmly:
"Could it be said that his motive for killing these two people was because they were school bullies? Or was this just a trick used by the murderer to mislead the police?"

"It's all possible, but we can't say for sure yet." Officer Takagi raised his eyebrows and praised:

"Originally, I was worried that the kids from Kyushu would feel physically uncomfortable after seeing such bloody photos of the murder scene. After all, you are only a high school student. I didn't expect you to think so calmly. It seems I was overly worried."

"Of course you are overthinking it. Haven't you seen enough of how powerful Jiuzhou brother is? How could he be scared just because of this level?" Xi Shenjian laughed teasingly and ordered:
"Officer Takagi, take us to the crime scene first, and tell Brother Jiuzhou about the details of the case on the way."

"Of course, I came here this time to entrust you to assist in investigating this case, so of course I can't keep you in suspense." Officer Gao Mu slowly stood up and ordered:
"You two, please come with me. There is a police car waiting downstairs."

“Based on our police’s visit and investigation today, we can temporarily determine the following facts——”

"The victims Yoneji Seita and Ushimura Reikichi had met somewhere after school on the day they were murdered. Then, until their families realized that their children were missing, no one saw any trace of them again. ”

"Because the deceased were the children of two political figures, and the reputation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has dropped to rock bottom after a series of previous negative incidents, the higher-ups attach great importance to this and require us to find them as soon as possible and at all costs. ”

"We immediately launched a large-scale emergency search, and met two homeless people during the search. We were told that they had accidentally discovered two hanged corpses not long ago. The appearance of the corpses was described to be similar to that of the two missing teenagers."

"When we arrived at the scene, the two people were not breathing and were confirmed to have died not long ago. The police also cordoned off the scene for protection as soon as possible."

"At this point, the difficulty of the case has increased several notches. The deaths of these two children are full of doubts. Since there are no surveillance cameras and passers-by near the crime scene, and we have not collected enough evidence, we are temporarily unable to accurately identify the suspects and need to find them. Other breakthroughs.”

"We're here, please come in."

Under the leadership of Police Officer Takagi, Kyushu Makoto and Yugami Key came to an abandoned building in the port area. Several police cars surrounded the entrance of the building, and dozens of police officers and investigators came in and out. There was a strong sense of anxiety and uneasiness in the air.

"Sir Takagi!" Several police officers stopped to greet him.

"These people are detectives assisting in the investigation. Let them enter the scene." Officer Takagi ordered.

Two police officers opened the yellow seal and let several people in. As he gradually approached the scene, Kyushu Cheng smelled the pungent smell of blood. And when he officially stepped into the scene, the smell was extremely strong.

Everything was just as shown in that photo. The bodies of two high school teenagers were strangled by hemp ropes around their necks and hung from the ceiling, with "Bullyers deserve to be killed!" hanging on their chests. ! ] brand.

The tattered clothes on the two corpses, the blood and scars all over their bodies, and the twisted limbs all told the brutal torture they suffered during their lifetimes.

Not only that, the scene was in a mess, with overturned boxes, bloodstains and traces of fighting everywhere, as if they had entered a slaughtering scene. The murderer obviously had no intention of covering up his malice at all.

Even professional police officers may not be able to withstand such a hellish scene. Fortunately, Jiuzhou Cheng had experienced many similar big scenes, and he only subconsciously paused and remained calm.

"It's so tragic. Rather than being [killed], it's better to say that he was hung up and displayed after being [tortured]. What an arrogant killer." Yu Shenkey smacked his lips and cautiously approached one of the corpses:
"The body must not have been touched, right? Let me take a look. There are so many bruises and scars on the body from stab wounds, whip wounds, and beatings that it reminds me of the torture of Yanhuang [Ling Chi]. It seems that the murderer really hates the two of them. Ah~"

"In my opinion, hanging with hemp rope in the end was just a way to display the corpses. The two deceased had been tortured to death before." Kyushu Cheng also endured the smell of blood that made his scalp numb and took a closer look. :
"Ushimura-san and Miji, it's really them. Why were they killed in such a cruel way?"

Looking at the two familiar faces, Kyushu Cheng couldn't help but his eyes trembled and his thoughts were mixed.

Obviously they were living peers whom they had met not long ago, but now their faces were ashen, their eye sockets were sunken, and their eyes were bulging like goldfish.

It is true that both of these men were school bullies and made terrible mistakes, but they were able to escape punishment because of their wealthy family backgrounds, which is extremely infuriating.

But did they really deserve such a miserable ending? Or can the murderer who gave them such punishment be called [just]?
Jiuzhou Cheng did not intend to obsess over thinking about this kind of problem, but focused on the case itself first.

"If the reason why the murderer killed them is really because of campus bullying, then will the murderer target the children who have bullied these two and their relatives and friends?" Kyushu Cheng pinched his chin and asked:

"After all, the people who hate these two people the most are undoubtedly the people who have been bullied by them, right?"

"We have already investigated along this line of thinking." Officer Takagi stood aside and replied:

"So the first ones we targeted were Jihe who was at Qingping High School, and the Mizuhashi family who was at Xiujin College."

"Mizumi, Mizuhashi is also a suspect?" Kyushu Cheng glared, his head buzzing.

"Of course, after all, her motive for committing the crime is also established, right? You should be aware of this, little friend from Kyushu." Officer Takagi asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, that's right." Kyushu Cheng lowered his head slightly: "To be honest, I definitely don't think Mizuhashi-san is a suspect, but it's your job as the police to investigate them, and I won't stop it. But I hope you don't Treat them too harshly, and don’t use any coercive means to force them to admit things they haven’t done.”

"You don't need to worry about this, little friend from Kyushu." Officer Takagi seemed to be afraid that he would misunderstand something, so he quickly explained:
"We have sent people to investigate and informally interrogate the two children and their families today. We have not found any evidence that can prove that they are related to the case. Even the time of the crime does not match up, so they have all been eliminated as suspects. ”

"Don't worry, Officer Takagi is not the kind of person who messes around." Yugami Key also understood Kyushu Makoto's mood and interjected: "No matter how desperate he is, he will not forcefully accuse someone who has nothing to do with the case. People take the blame.”

"Sorry. That's fine." Jiuzhou Cheng felt inexplicably relieved.

"But we can't give up just yet. We have sent people to look for victims who were bullied by these two people in middle school, hoping to find some clues." Officer Takagi continued:
"Although the murderer's motive is a mystery, and even the words on the sign may be misleading the police's judgment, we can only continue the investigation along this line of thinking."

Jiuzhou Cheng thought for a while and reminded: "At least one thing is certain, that is, the murderer knew that these two people were school bullies. Maybe he was an acquaintance of these two people, or he might have specially conducted a background check on them. In short, The murderer must be inextricably linked to the two deceased persons, and it was not a random killing for no reason.”

"Thank you for your analysis. This is indeed a good entry point for investigation." Officer Takagi nodded slightly:
"Mr. Yugami, you have been observing without saying a word. What do you think after visiting the scene in person?"

"I checked the scene carefully. It's so similar. It's nine out of ten that it's him." Xi Shenjian, who was observing intently, suddenly opened his eyes, as if there was some intense emotion about to burst out:

"The modus operandi is almost exactly the same and I am very familiar with it!"

"Him? Is it really what you thought?" Officer Takagi twitched the corner of his mouth, surprise gradually appearing on his face.

"If we rule out the possibility of being a copycat, it's definitely him." Yushenkan said with a heavy voice, pointing at himself with determination: "You're so lucky, Officer Takagi, you found the right person this time."

"What are you talking about?" Jiuzhou Cheng didn't understand at all.
