Chapter 136 Flaws in Writing

Miu Chi-shun was called back to the East Kowloon Police Station by a call from Ho Ka-fai.

After seeing He Jiahui, Miao Zhishun couldn't wait to ask, "Have you found any new clues?"

"I discovered a problem." He Jiahui handed the photo with the word "Friend" to Miao Zhishun and said at the same time, "Sir Miao, the problem is in this photo!"

"This is the message Ma Jinan left before he died. I have read it dozens of times. What's the problem?" Miao Zhishun asked.

"Sir Miao, I think the word 'friend' was probably written by the murderer deliberately to frame the crime." He Jiahui said.

"Where's the evidence?" Miao Zhishun asked immediately.

As a senior inspector of the serious crime team, Miao Zhishun had also solved many major cases. Of course, he had also thought that the word "friend" found at the scene might be the real murderer who deliberately framed Fan Zhiyou.

However, the police have to rely on evidence when handling cases. If there is no evidence to prove that this word was framed by the real murderer, then they can only use the existing evidence to believe that this word is a message left by the deceased before his death.

He Jiahui said: "Sir Miao, take a closer look. Is this character different from what we usually write?"

"Of course it's different. The deceased had a knife stuck in his back. It was already very difficult to write this word. Do you still ask him to write neatly?"

Miao Zhishun smiled and continued, "And this word was originally written on the beach. In this case, there is no way to do handwriting identification."

"I'm not talking about fonts." He Jiahui said.

"Okay, stop pretending, just tell me what problem you have discovered!" Miao Zhishun said.

"Sir Miao, look at the word 'Friend', the order of the strokes when we usually write is different. When we usually write the word 'Friend', we write it horizontally first and then write it with curly strokes. However, this character 'Friend' is obviously It's written first and then horizontally." He Jiahui explained.

If you use a pen to write on paper, you probably can't tell the order of the strokes. No matter whether you write horizontally or vertically first, write first or write first, the final character will be the same.

But when writing on the beach, you can clearly tell the order of writing strokes, because the beach is not a hard surface, and the strokes written first will be cut off by the strokes written later.

For example, when writing the word "十" on the beach, if you write the horizontal stroke first and then the vertical stroke, then the vertical stroke will be a complete stroke, and the horizontal stroke will be cut off by the vertical stroke in the middle.

In the same way, if you write vertically first and then horizontally, then the horizontal stroke will be a complete stroke, and the vertical stroke will be cut off by the horizontal stroke in the middle.

The character "Friend" that Ma Jin'an left behind before his death was cut off by the horizontal stroke, which means that he wrote the stroke first and then the horizontal stroke.

This is obviously not in line with normal writing habits. When we usually write the word "friend", we write it horizontally first and then write it curtly.

Miao Zhishun looked at the photo, and then nodded suddenly: "You are right, judging from the photo, Ma Jinan did write first and then horizontally.

Could it be that he had a knife stuck in his back and was in great pain, so he didn't write in the normal order of strokes? "

He Jiahui shook his head: "When a person is seriously injured, he will act more instinctively. Our writing habit is an instinct developed over more than ten years."

Miao Zhishun frowned slightly: "Then why did Ma Jinan write the word 'friend' first with a stroke and then with a stroke when he died? Is he trying to tell us something?"

He Jiahui replied: "It is precisely because the order of the strokes of this character is different that I think it was forged by someone else and then framed the blame on Fan Zhiyou."

"You mean, the person who wrote this character is used to writing it first and then horizontally? But who in the normal world would write like this? Could it be that Japanese exchange student!"

Miao Zhishun pondered for a moment and then said: "That's not right. The Japanese are not Europeans and Americans. They can't write Chinese characters at all. The Japanese also learn Chinese characters from childhood. Even if the Japanese have different pronunciations of Chinese characters, most of them There will definitely be no problem in writing Chinese characters.”

He Jiahui smiled slightly and replied: "Of course the Japanese have no problem writing Chinese characters, but the order of their strokes is different from that of us Chinese.

For example, the word 'Friend' is written in the order of Japanese writing, which is to write it first and then horizontally. In addition, for words such as 'left' and 'right', the Japanese also write it first and then horizontally. .This is their writing habit. "

"You mean that it was the Japanese exchange student Kenjiro Murakami who killed Ma Jinan, and then left the word 'friend' to blame Fan Zhiyou." Miao Zhishun asked.

He Jiahui nodded: "You still remember that it was said in the confession that it was Murakami Kenjiro who first proposed to go out for a walk after dinner. This is tantamount to creating an opportunity for himself to kill."

Miao Zhishun then asked: "Can you find evidence? I mean more concrete evidence. It would be too far-fetched to convict based on Japanese writing habits."

He Jiahui answered: "So we need to ask all the criminal suspects to write the word 'friend' again. If Kenjiro Murakami writes the word 'friend' first, he writes it first and then the horizontal stroke, while others write the horizontal stroke first." If you write it again, it can prove that the word 'Friend' on the scene was left by Kenjiro Murakami, which also proves that he is the murderer."

"Then I call all the suspects to the police station and ask them to write the word 'friend'?" Miao Zhishun said, but shook his head to himself: "No, this method is too directional. They all I know that before Ma Jinan died, he left the word 'friend', and if you ask them to write this word, they will definitely be able to guess the police's intention."

"So this matter can't come directly. We have to find a way around it. Let them write without arousing their suspicion." He Jiahui pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea."

"Tell me about it." Miao Zhishun asked.

"On the day of the incident, didn't they get together for dinner? We used the investigation as an excuse to ask them to write down where everyone sat during the dinner. Fan Zhiyou's name will definitely be written down. The word 'friend' is not Are you here?" He Jiahui said.

"Good idea, just do as you say!" Miao Zhishun nodded immediately.

……

Among the people attending the party, Ma Jinan died, Fan Zhiyou was arrested, and the two girls could prove to each other that they were not at the scene when the crime occurred. The suspicion was eliminated, and the remaining three people were called to the police station in the name of assisting in the investigation.

In the interrogation room, facing Kenjiro Murakami, Miao Zhishun specially hired a Japanese translator.

Kenjiro Murakami has also learned Chinese. Communication is not very complicated. There is no problem in using Chinese, but he speaks Mandarin.

Miao Zhishun said in Hong Kong-style Mandarin: "Mr. Murakami, we found out that on the day of the incident, you had a dinner in the living room of Deng Xue's house.

Ma Jinan went out for air because he suddenly felt uncomfortable and vomited. We police suspect that the reason why the deceased felt uncomfortable was Fan Zhiyou's fault.So do you still remember where you were sitting?We want to know where Fan Zhiyou was sitting and how far away from the deceased he was. "

"Of course I remember." Kenjiro Murakami nodded. He was obviously not very familiar with Chinese, so he continued using Japanese grammar; "Ma Jinan, sit down opposite me, and Fan Zhiyou, sit down across from me. "

Miao Zhishun immediately took out a floor plan and continued: "This is the floor plan of Deng Xue's living room. Can you indicate where they sit on it?"

"No problem." Kenjiro Murakami took the floor plan and started marking it.

"Just write your name on it." Miao Zhishun said casually.

Kenjiro Murakami obviously didn't realize that the police were verifying the order of his writing. He thought the police were still targeting Fan Zhiyou, so he wrote on the floor plan of the living room without any scruples.

"I'll sit here." Murakami Kenjiro wrote his name in a place.

"Ma Jinan, sit opposite me, right here." Murakami Kenjiro wrote Ma Jinan's name again.

"Fan Zhiyou, he is sitting here!" Kenjiro Murakami wrote Fan Zhiyou's name in another position.

Miao Zhishun carefully observed Murakami Kenjiro's writing. At the same time, the angle of the surveillance camera in the interrogation room happened to be aimed at the same position.

When Kenjiro Murakami wrote the character "Friend", he first wrote it with a stroke and then a stroke.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Miao Zhishun looked happy.

A few seconds later, one of Miao Zhishun's subordinates knocked on the door and walked in. He nodded to Miao Zhishun and said, "Sir Miao, I took pictures of everything. It's very clear."

"Okay!" Miao Zhishun praised, and then looked directly at Kenjiro Murakami: "Mr. Murakami, you are suspected of murdering the Chinese man Ma Jinan. The police will now formally arrest you!"

"Nani?" Kenjiro Murakami was shocked and sat there blankly.

The Japanese translator told Kenjiro Murakami Miao Zhishun's original words in Japanese, and then Kenjiro Murakami came back to his senses.

"What do you mean? I didn't kill anyone! You are framed!" Kenjiro Murakami shouted in Japanese.

Miao Zhishun took out the photo of the word "friend" and continued: "Mr. Murakami, you should have an impression of this word, right?"

"Isn't this the word Ma Jin'an wrote before he died!" Kenjiro Murakami simply answered in Japanese, and then asked the translator to reply.

"This word was indeed found next to Ma Jin'an's body, but it was not written by Ma Jin'an, but by you," Miao Zhishun said.

"You are talking nonsense, I never wrote this word!" Murakami Kenjiro continued to deny.

"Mr. Murakami, you probably don't realize that the order of strokes when you write Chinese characters has betrayed you. When you write the character 'Friend', you will write the stroke first and then the horizontal stroke. We Chinese people Write horizontally first, then write obliquely!"

Miao Zhishun said, pointing to the word "Friend" on the photo, and then said: "The word 'Friend' next to Ma Jinan's body is written with an initial and then a horizontal stroke! This is not how we Chinese write. strokes.

This also means that there was a person with different writing habits from Chinese people who forged the word on the spot and then deliberately framed the blame on Fan Zhiyou. This person was obviously the murderer!
The murder weapon came from Deng Xue's home. In other words, only those who attended the dinner could get the murder weapon, and you were the only one among them. When writing the word "friend", you would write it first and then write it horizontally. "

At this moment, Kenjiro Murakami finally understood why the police asked him to write down where everyone was sitting during the meal that day. It turned out to be to let him write the word "friend" and then confirm the order in which he wrote it.

After thinking about this, Murakami Kenjiro sighed dejectedly: "I didn't expect that in the end it was because of different writing habits that the flaw was exposed!"

Seeing that Kenjiro Murakami had confessed, Miao Zhishun said, "Mr. Murakami, how did you kill Ma Jin'an? Please tell the truth!"

At this point, Murakami Kenjiro did not argue anymore, but directly explained the facts of the case:

"That day I went to Deng Xue's house for a party. I actually wanted to find a chance to kill Ma Jinan, but everyone was gathered together at the time, and I never found the chance. I was planning to give up, but who knew that during dinner, Ma Jinan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

I remember I was saying at the time that Hokkaido’s winter is very suitable for skiing, and there are also hot springs. It would be very comfortable to soak in the hot springs after skiing.At this time, Ma Jinan suddenly covered his mouth, ran into the toilet, and started vomiting.

We thought the seafood we ate was not cooked, but everyone had eaten the seafood. Only Ma Jinan had a problem, and everyone else was fine.I guess it may be that Ma Jinan is allergic to some kind of seafood!
Then Ma Jinan drank some water, and then said that he wanted to go out and get some fresh air. At this time, I realized that my opportunity had come!

So after dinner, I asked to go out and see the surrounding scenery. I am Japanese and it was my first time to Budai O. This request was very reasonable.At that time, Deng Xue also planned to go out with me and act as a tour guide for me, but I refused.

I secretly took a kitchen knife from the kitchen of Deng Xue's house, and then went out. I quickly found Ma Jin'an, and then I said I was worried about getting lost and asked Ma Jin'an to take me around.

Of course, Ma Jinan would not refuse me, so the two of us started wandering around. When we arrived at the beach, I found that there was no one around, so I took out a knife and killed him from behind.

Then I wiped off the fingerprints on the kitchen knife, processed the traces at the scene, took Ma Jinan's hand, wrote the word "friend" on the beach, and blamed Fan Zhiyou.

After that, I stayed nearby for a while to make sure that no one found Ma Jinan's body before returning to Deng Xue's home. "

"Why did you choose Fan Zhiyou as your partner instead of someone else?" Miao Zhishun asked again.

"Because after dinner, everyone was free to move around. I saw Chen Jiali and Wang Danni together. I obviously couldn't blame them. Li Hanwen went to the kitchen to help Deng Xue wash the dishes. I couldn't confirm whether he was alone. Only Fan Zhiyou was alone. He left, so I can only blame him!" Kenjiro Murakami replied.

"It seems like it's a good habit to help wash the dishes after dinner. If you work harder, you can still avoid disaster!"

Miao Zhishun thought to himself, and then he continued to ask: "Then what is your motive for killing? You are an exchange student and have only been in Xiangjiang for a few months. There should be no conflict of interest between you and Ma Jinan, right?"

"Because of money." Murakami Kenjiro paused and then said, "Someone gave me six Bitcoins and asked me to kill Ma Jinan!"

"Paid to kill someone?" Miao Zhishun was startled.

At the same time, He Jiahui, who was watching the interrogation in the monitoring room, also frowned.This answer was really beyond his expectation!
