Doctor entering the police gate

Chapter 39 The True Story

"Because he's already dead." Yan Junli said this out of nowhere, his cold eyes made people feel chilling, "The only thing that can't be suspected is the dead. Our murderer is very smart, so smart that he can use this method to deceive the world. I have always I was thinking, what pushed Liu Yang from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Liu Yang is a very important pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes, although I don't know what benefits the murderer gave Liu Yang, so that he was able to sacrifice his life to protect The murderer. So if the murderer was not in an extremely dangerous situation, he would not push Liu Yang out to be his own shield."

"So we thought about it," Yang Wenbin continued Yan Junli's words, "At that time, there was only one person we were suspicious of, and that was Keiko Nakano."

"Keiko Nakano?"

"Think about Keiko Nakano." Yang Wenbin walked up to Li Hong and Xia Baiyan and asked, "When was the last time you saw her? I mean, alive?"

Li Hong and Xia Baiyan looked at each other, and said in unison, "Red Maple Garden."

"That's right, not only you, but also Yan Junli and I. The last time the four of us saw Keiko was also that time, the first and last time, in the Red Maple Garden not long after Xie Fengming died. Nakano Keiko Where did she go in the rest of the time? Of course, we didn't think much about it afterwards, because then we saw Keiko's body and Liu Yang who appeared at the scene of the crime." Yang Wenbin began to talk in the ward Walking around in this narrow room, "But there is one strange thing, you will find that although this woman only showed up in the case, almost everything is inextricably linked with her. Xie Fengming died The place is Red Maple Garden under her name, Liu Yang is her personal secretary, and the deceased 20 years ago has the same surname as her. All of these point the finger at this woman until her own death."

"So Huizi is indeed dead." Li Hong said puzzledly, "She was wearing Huizi's clothes and her hair was tied up, and it was the address that Captain Yan heard from a reliable informant—"

"Okay, okay," Yan Junli sighed and rubbed the center of his brows, "That 'reliable informant' is actually her husband."

"What?" Li Hong's eyes widened.

Yang Wenbin spread his hands, "So, what if the information that Skull gave us was wrong from the very beginning? After all, he is Keiko's husband, and that man is not a good person. He has reason and ability to help Keiko tell this lie .”

"We believed the words of the skeleton and rushed to the aquarium. First of all, our thinking would subconsciously think that Keiko was there." Yan Junli said, "Keiko also knew this, so she was able to arrange her own suspended animation. The dead body wore our clothes. The kimono she wore when she saw Keiko last time, her hair was tied up, and the timing of her death later on, no one doubted that it was Liu Yang who killed Keiko and was accidentally bumped into by us. But as long as you observe carefully, you can find Some suspicious points on the corpse."

"What doubt?" Xia Baiyan interrupted.

"Hair, clothes, skin." Yang Wenbin turned his head and asked Li Hong, "When we found that the clothes of the dead body had been sorted, you once said that it was difficult to tie the knot."

"Yes." Li Hong said, "I don't even know how to tie it."

"Then this matter is strange. Even Li Hong, a small encyclopedia, doesn't know how to tie his clothes. How can Liu Yang, a big and thick man, know?" Yang Wenbin narrowed his eyes, "And the hair of the corpse When Yan Junli and I found the corpse, the hair of the corpse was coiled, but when I went to see the corpse the next day, her hair had already fallen apart. Yan Junli said that it fell apart by itself during the process of carrying the corpse, so Here comes the problem. A Japanese woman like Keiko Nakano often has her hair in a bun. How could she loose her hair with just a little movement? The face of the corpse is disfigured, but the skin can’t lie. The murderer’s loophole lies in The replacement corpse is still older than she is, so the skin of this corpse is slightly wrinkled compared to Keiko's skin in her thirties."

"But..." Li Hong said, "The time of death is just right, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Speaking of which, Xiaohong, you said it yourself." Yang Wenbin curled his lips, "The corpse has been frozen, if you bought a piece of raw meat, you would put it in the refrigerator to prevent it from spoiling, the murderer This method was also used to prolong the death time of the corpse. When Yan Junli and I first discovered the corpse, the blood and tears flowing from the eye sockets of the corpse proved that the corpse had been cryopreserved.”

"In this way, is Keiko the murderer?" Li Hongdao, "But what did you say at the beginning, 'Nakano Hanako' is the murderer in this case?"

"I really, really admire this murderer. She deceived everyone including me. Her plan is flawless, but no matter how she hides it, the truth is the truth, and it will not disappear because of hiding." Yang Wen Bin slowly took out the envelope from his pocket, pulled out the yellowed paper, and unfolded it in front of everyone, "Let's start with this."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the piece of paper, and then Li Hong and Xia Baiyan's expressions changed, and they opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"Forensic He, you should have an impression of this record," Yang Wenbin showed the contents of the paper to Forensic He, but the latter did not respond, but remained silent.

"This is the autopsy report written by you yourself 20 years ago. It is the female corpse whose face was splashed with sulfuric acid and dumped under the red maple leaves. But the name on it is not the 'Nakano Hanako' as we all think." Yang Wenbin He said word by word, "It's Keiko Nakano."

"How is it possible..." Even Xia Baiyan was completely shocked, and stammered, "But... but the legends and stories I heard, as well as Huizi and the people around Huizi said—"

"No, that's not the point." Li Hong interrupted Xia Baiyan, and accurately found the crux of the problem, "If the deceased 20 years ago was called Keiko Nakano... then who is that woman we knew?"

"Oh, that's the long story." Yang Wenbin folded his hands and rested on his chin, his tone was flat, as if he was really just telling an old story from 20 years ago. There is a family living on the mountain. My mother is a Japanese immigrant named Nakano Keiko, and my father is Du Yong, a local. They also have a young daughter named Hanako. But the youngest daughter Hanako is not living happily, because in this small The family of three is full of serious domestic violence. Husband Du Yong is increasingly dissatisfied with his wife Keiko, and this dissatisfaction has evolved into extreme violence and twisted abuse. The most likely reason is that Du Yong and a A woman named Xie Mingqing cheated, and in the mountain village with outdated ideas 20 years ago, divorce was impossible, so Du Yong beat and scolded his wife over and over again to get some psychological comfort."
