Chapter 62 The building is the victim

"Oh?" Zhe Lukui wasn't too surprised. She just spread her hands and looked like she was willing to hear the details.

Nakano Ping brought the two of them to the messy pile of tables and chairs next to them: "Just now, when you were coming upstairs, I discovered something."

He pointed at one of the round tables. There were large and dense blood stains on the table, and the blood stains radiated in a single direction.

"This is undoubtedly the blood of the deceased. And according to the movement trajectory, when the deceased was killed, the blood spurted out and hit the horizontal table at an oblique angle to show the shape we see... But the problem is, when When I first arrived here, the table was lying on its side, with its back to the deceased."

Zhe Lukui nodded slowly and said: "This means that these piles of tables and chairs...were not knocked over before or when the deceased died, but after the death of the deceased."

She naturally continued to ask: "So, the second person who appears in this room is the key... Did the surveillance camera capture him?"

"No. We checked the surveillance video as soon as we got here. Then the surveillance didn't capture anyone entering or leaving."

"...Contradicts the judgment just now?"

"It's a contradiction, but it's a good thing." Nakano laughed. "There is a second person in the room. This is already certain. 'The surveillance camera did not capture the person' cannot overturn this point, but it can be inferred.' The surveillance was tampered with by this person. In this case, we have the opportunity to find that person by tracing the method of modifying the surveillance - which turned out to be his flaw."

Orukui showed a thoughtful expression.

"To sum up." Nakanohira looked up at the two people and expressed his judgment in one breath, "I think the death of Shinji Kobayashi was not an accident, but a murder. The murderer was still alive after killing Shinye Kobayashi. He stayed in the room for a while, knocked over the tables and chairs before leaving, and finally erased the surveillance video recording his appearance through the pre-buried back door."

Zhe Lukui nodded, noncommittal.

Then she confirmed: "So, your judgment is: the main subject of this incident is not that the house was demolished by an entire floor, but that the murderer killed Shinye Kobayashi. Shinye Kobayashi is the core of the incident... the house , but he is the victim who was involved."

...The key point of the girl's inference always sounds strange, although it is generally true.Nakano nodded while thinking, and then suddenly realized what was weird.

"Wait a minute, you killed an entire building just to kill one person. Is that putting the cart before the horse?"

Zhe Lukui gave him a strange look: "...Isn't this your own reasoning?"

"That's why I feel... Since the phenomenon of such a case does not conform to common sense, then it is probably not possible to use common sense to judge its motives and logic, right?"

Zhe Lukui just smiled and said without further explanation: "Anyway, thank you for the information."

Nakano clearly felt the other party's contempt - she just felt that there was no need to spend time explaining to herself.

He wasn't angry, but suddenly realized something.

Oroku Aoi is a very beautiful and outstanding girl.

Of course, as a middle-aged man who was old enough to be his father's father, Nakano didn't have any strange thoughts about Oroku Aoi, but he unconsciously compared her with his own daughter of a similar age.

...No, forget it.As a father, I don't want to have a daughter like Aoi Oruru.

Nakano remembered that he had had several quarrels with his daughter in order to stop drinking. As a result, her daughter was so angry that she didn't talk to him for a week.

But that's about it.

But if it were the girl in front of me...

She may hand over a 100 ml measuring cup at the beginning, stipulating that she can only drink one cup of beer per day, and decrease the scale by 5 ml every day.

Nakano can drink secretly.But he would find something terrible at home after get off work the next day: the entire refrigerator had disappeared.

The girl, on the other hand, was still reading quietly.

And when Nakano asked, he smiled and replied: "Refrigerator? Naturally, it was sent to a non-combustible large garbage collection point."

"Father, this is the promised punishment. As an adult, you should be aware of the price of doing wrong things, right?"

And it's really not just pretending, but I'm really not angry at all.

But it's even scarier.

...Although normally children of this age are in a rebellious period and their relationship with their parents will not be very good... But I just feel that the relationship between this girl and her father will definitely be even worse.

At this time, Hui Yuanchu, who had been swaying around, walked in and said, "Officer Nakano, where is the head?"

——The head of a corpse?
This is a key question.Nakano was well prepared and immediately replied: "Nothing was found at the scene. I suspect that it may have flown to the building next to it along with the roof part. I have already arranged for people to search there, and the results should have been obtained by now."

Then he took out his mobile phone and called the colleague in charge of another building to ask a few questions. He suddenly showed a surprised look: "...Not found?"

"It's gone." Hui Yuanchu seemed to have expected it and nodded.

Then he added: "There is one more thing I don't know if you have noticed..."

"What?" Nakano asked instinctively.

"The amount of bleeding is wrong." Hui Yuanchu looked around and said, "It's a lot less."

Nakano suddenly woke up.

Although in the eyes of laymen, this scene of a room full of blood is already scary - but compared to the amount that this kind of death "should" have, it is too little.

Therefore, Nakano, who has actually seen too many murder scenes, will feel that it is inconsistent.

Because this time, the scene felt "too clean, as if it had been cleaned up".

But this striking sense of inconsistency was first broken by an ordinary high school boy.Nakano was a little ashamed and felt a little weird, so he unconsciously turned his gaze to the boy.

Hui Yuan seemed to have some misunderstanding, so he added: "Believe me, I am very experienced in this kind of thing."

...what kind of experience?A chill ran down Nakano's spine, and he resisted the thought of immediately arresting the young man for interrogation.

"Ah... please don't get me wrong." Nakano's expression changed too obviously, and Hui Yuanchu explained with a serious face, "... I mean, I have rich experience in massive bleeding."

...It’s whatever you say it is.

Nakano forced himself to put his doubts about the boy behind him, and habitually began to think seriously about the possibility behind the fact that he "lost his head and part of his blood"...

At this time, Miura, who had completed all handover procedures, came back.

Nakano was immediately reminded, and sighed and gave up thinking - this was no longer his case.

"Then, since the handover has been completed, we will leave first." He bowed slightly to Ori Lukui, then turned to Nakano, "It's still early, let's go to the scene of the previous beheading and murder incident."

"Decapitator? I was about to tell the police department about this," Miura said.

"...What's wrong?" Nakano was a little surprised, and then he noticed that Miura's face was worse than when he left just now.

It could be said that he was angry before, but now it has reached the point where he seems to have a bad stomach.

Oroku Aoi said from the side: "Ah, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell the Nakano Police Department just now - the case of the beheading ghost has also been handed over to us."

Nakano stayed for a moment and could only smile bitterly.

In the end, he could only say goodbye and left with the detectives from the Search Division.

Until he walked out of the apartment door, Miura suddenly frowned and said: "Speaking of which, the police department..."

"what?"

"It seems that the school where Kobayashi Shinye works is Jiqiu Academy?"

"Really?" Nakano was stunned for a moment, turned his head, but quickly decided not to get involved in this matter anymore, "Forget it, just ignore it."

He patted Miura on the shoulder and said, "Since it's a rare opportunity to get off work early, why don't you go have a drink."
