Chapter 333 ...
After returning to Tokyo, Kyushu Makoto and Yugami Ken began to process the information obtained by Xiaojing.

It is called intelligence, but in fact it is just a bunch of dense information that requires time to carefully identify.

"Damn it. Isn't this completely clueless?" After searching for an entire afternoon, Xi Shenjian tapped the keyboard in frustration: "I can't find any clues related to [Bully Butcher] at all."

Although Xi Shenjian strongly suspected that the "Bully Butcher" had contacted these three families, he could not find any clues.

Perhaps the [Bully Butcher] is cautious enough and always urges the other party to delete the contact records to avoid being caught?
Or is it simply that the reasoning is wrong and the murderer has never contacted these people?

Xi Shenjian leaned back in the boss chair and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Hey, after all, I can only guess whether the murderer is the [Bully Butcher]."

Suddenly, Jiuzhou Cheng seemed to have discovered something and leaned over the computer desk, saying in surprise: "Mr. Xi Shen, look at this!"

Xi Shenjian came over quickly and was stunned the moment he saw the screen: "What is this..."

"Through the scraped information, I found that Haoji Baichuan has an account on the social platform [Twitter] where he posts frequently." Kyushu Makoto pointed at the screen, which showed the homepage of Haoji Baichuan's online social account.

Haoji Baichuan’s platform account is called [Lonely Seagull]. It is an account with only single-digit followers, and its followers seem to be just advertising robots.

Probably because he has no social interaction in real life, he puts most of his energy on the Internet, updating a "diary" almost every day, roughly describing what he eats every day, what cartoons or novels he watches, what new things he encounters, and how he feels. It is just such an ordinary yet melancholy diary of a stay-at-home mom.

"Since Xi Shenjian has been investigating the information extracted from the phone, I tried to search from other angles, so I suddenly had the idea to look at Baichuan Haosi's social network account." Jiuzhou Cheng scrolled the mouse wheel and moved to one of the posts:

"Based on the time of posting, this diary post was posted on the day when Mizhi and Niucun were murdered. Then look at the content above."

[Something good is going to happen today~ Mom has already told me, but I can’t tell you what it is. Suddenly I feel my heart beating fast, I’m really looking forward to it!!]

Xi Shenjian frowned: "Good things that cannot be told. Good things can happen to those who stay at home."

"This is not over yet. Look at the next one. He wrote it the next day." Jiuzhou Cheng quickly turned to the post of the next day:

[A kind person helped me kill the haze that had been accumulating in my heart, and I felt a sense of liberation that I had never felt before. I was really happy! I felt that I had the courage to walk out of the room! ]

"Killed the haze accumulated in my heart." Xi Shenjian's eyes gradually realized something: "Could it be that [kill] is really literal."

"Since that day, [Lonely Seagull]'s diary posts have become noticeably more cheerful, without the heavy feeling of the past." Jiuzhou Cheng flipped through other posts: "In a post the next day, which was the day after the murder, he said that he finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the room, and he used a lot of exclamation marks at the end of the sentence, which must mean he was very excited."

"I remember Madam Baichuan also said that her son was very happy after hearing the news of Mizhi and Niucun's death, and finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the room." Xi Shenjian patted his head, which was about to freeze, and woke up:

"But I remember that the police only announced the news four days after the murder and allowed major media to report it."

"Before this, everything was kept secret. Officer Takagi repeatedly told us not to tell anyone and even made us sign a confidentiality agreement." Kyushu Makoto closed his eyes and recalled, "But looking at Baichuan Haoji's online diary, although he didn't say it explicitly, he seemed to have learned the news long before the police announced the case, and he cheered up and walked out of the room."

"In this case, we can almost conclude that the Baichuan family has an affair with the murderer, otherwise he would not have known the first-hand news of the death." Xi Shenjian said affirmatively: "You are really amazing, Brother Jiuzhou! Why do I feel that you are more suitable to be a detective than me!"

"Unfortunately, this is not conclusive evidence. Even the means of obtaining evidence is not in accordance with procedures." Jiuzhou Cheng shook his head slightly:

"Even if we go to Baichuan's house to confront him immediately, he will evade us and we won't be able to get anything out of him. It will only alert the enemy. And if he reports us for violating privacy and impersonating the police, we will be the ones to suffer."

"That's right, so we have a backup plan." Xi Shenjian snapped his fingers: "Don't forget that your hacker lady not only stripped the information from their phones, but also secretly installed a surveillance backdoor."

Just as Xi Shenjian said, Xiao Jing installed the virus on those mobile phones as instructed, so that they could be monitored and eavesdropped remotely in the future.

Of course, the monitoring work was handled by Officer Takagi, and Xiaojing's work was completed after the hacking.

"I should ask Gao Mu about the situation." Xi Shenjian stretched, took out his cell phone and made a call: "We need to tell him about our discovery as soon as possible and ask him to focus on Baichuan's family." "."

[I see. Thank you for providing such an important clue. We will focus on the Baichuan family.] After listening to the two people's explanation, Officer Gao Mu expressed his gratitude:

[Speaking of which, my colleague happened to be monitoring Baichuan's communication equipment. Wait a minute, he said, Mrs. Baichuan had a very strange call record today? ]

"What did you say?" Xi Shenjian immediately leaned over to the receiver excitedly and said, "What did you find? Please tell me clearly!"

[My colleague said that he overheard Ms. Baichuan talking to a mysterious man half an hour ago.] Officer Gao Mu said:
【I will play the intercepted call recording for you. 】

Immediately, a rustling sound came from the phone, like a TV changing channels.

Xi Shenjian and Jiuzhou Cheng leaned close to the receiver of the phone, and a recorded conversation began to play:
[Strange male voice: "Ms. Baichuan, long time no see. Has your son recovered recently?"]

[Mrs. Baichuan's voice: "Well, Haosi finally walked out of the room a few days ago! Thanks to you, sir! That little devil should..."]

[Strange man: "Stop it, don't say anything unnecessary. Is there anything unusual recently?"]

[Mrs. Baichuan: "Well, speaking of which, the police came to visit me yesterday and asked a lot of questions. It seems that they suspect that I am related to this case."]

[Strange man: "The police acted so quickly this time? It's amazing!"]

[Mrs. Baichuan: "But I have already sent him away. Don't worry, there will be no problem."]

[Strange man: "Is that so? That's just right. I'm going to change my number soon, so this is the last time I'll contact you with this number."]

[Mrs. Baichuan: "Is that so? Thank you so much for everything you have done for Haoji. I really hope to repay you."]

[Strange man: "No need to repay, I just did what I thought was right. I wish you all the best. Goodbye."]

[Beep——]

After the call ended, Jiuzhou Cheng and Xi Shenjian looked at each other.

At first glance, this sounds like an ordinary conversation between friends, but considering the possibility that Mrs. Baichuan is connected to the murderer, this conversation sounds awkward no matter how you listen to it.

[Mrs. Baichuan is a customer service representative in the company's after-sales department. She has at least dozens of work calls every day. In addition to her personal communications, her daily call records are too numerous to count.] Officer Gao Mu said:
[My colleague didn't pay attention to this call at first, thinking it was from Mrs. Baichuan's friend. But after listening to your reasoning, he suddenly remembered the content of the call and felt it was suspicious, so I played it for you to listen to.]

"The man's voice on the phone is not Hijikata Hitoshi. Of course, it could be that his voice has changed over time, or he could be using a voice changer." Xi Shenjian thought.
"The day I visited Mrs. Baichuan, she said that it was thanks to that murderer that Hao Si had the courage to walk out of the room. It sounded like she was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and she was not lying. But she treated the other party on the phone as the benefactor who let Hao Si walk out of the room. No matter how you think about it, it's so wrong!"

[That makes sense, Mr. Xi Shen.] Officer Takagi agreed: [Even if I have a preconceived idea, I can only suspect that the man who talked to Mrs. Baichuan is the murderer!]

"By the way, have you police been able to track down that suspicious number?"

[Well, it is definitely impossible to find out through regular means. The murderer must have used a virtual number or a mobile phone card registered by someone else.] Officer Takagi said helplessly:
[But if it's an informal method, then of course there are ways to deal with it. But I'm going to take the risk. ]

"Make it seem like this is your first time doing this. If you have a way, use it now!" Xi Shenjian immediately ordered: "If you are really a good policeman who abides by the rules and regulations, why would you cooperate with a rogue detective like me?"

[Understood.] Officer Takagi said calmly:

[I will send someone to track this number immediately. Please wait for my message before taking the next step.]
