The daily life of the famous detective: the undead

Chapter 88 The Murderer
Although the experience bar did not increase, the smell of blood in the air was extremely strong.

That is not dead yet?

Song Pingfeng and Conan looked at each other, got up and ran out.

Outside the coffee shop, the crowd quickly surrounded the escalator. Matsudaira Feng and Conan passed through the crowd, intending to take a closer look.

But just halfway there, Han Xuan stopped, and the experience bar... went up.

The man was already dead, Han Xuan frowned, and walked forward again, following Conan.

The two walked in and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit kneeling on the escalator, tightly holding the document bag on his chest.On his chest, blood kept flowing out, and the escalator behind him was still running.

Song Pingfeng frowned and walked up, endured the discomfort and pressed the emergency stop button of the escalator.

"Conan, call the police." Matsudaira frowned.

"Sister Lan, call the police, call 120." Conan looked at Mao Lilan who rushed over from the side.Conan hadn't detected it at close range, so he naturally didn't know that this person was dead.

Song Pingfeng frowned and bent over to observe the man who was killed in public.

Since the man was kneeling, Song Pingfeng couldn't see his abdomen, but it was conceivable that this man was stabbed from the front by a sharp weapon and bled to death heavily.However, from being discovered to dying, it took no more than 5 minutes. If he died directly in such a short period of time, it must have been stabbed to a vital point.

The document bag that the man held tightly to his chest before he died must be something important.Song Pingfeng went around to look at the front, the seal of the document bag was opened, and it seemed that someone had taken some of it away.

Song Pingfeng squatted down and took a closer look. There seemed to be some mysterious symbols on the file that was pulled out from the file tape?

○×△?What does this mean?
Song Pingfeng didn't know why, it seemed to be a message left by the man before his death.Matsudaira looked at Conan who was also observing, and he seemed to be thinking about the meaning of these symbols.

Song Pingfeng shook his head, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, stood up and moved away from the corpse.Although I gradually got used to the smell of blood, I still couldn't bear it after staying for a long time.

Seeing Song Pingfeng leave, Conan hurriedly followed and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"Except for that unknown symbol, we can only wait for the police to investigate." Song Pingfeng shook his head and said.

Conan nodded, turned around and went to the scene again.Matsudaira returned to the coffee shop and sat down.

Not long after he sat down, he saw a middle-aged man walking in with his briefcase sweating profusely. He looked around nervously. Seeing Song Pingfeng looking at him, he gave him an ugly smile and didn't talk to him.

Song Pingfeng gave him a strange look, and after thinking about it, this person seemed to be here before they came in, and he seemed to be sitting not far from them just now.

Strange, what is he nervous about?As for being so sweaty?

Song Pingfeng observed secretly. After sitting down, the man kept pressing his mobile phone, as if he was sending a message, but he didn't.

Song Pingfeng really looked more and more strange, everyone was looking at the deceased outside the door, only he returned to the cafe due to physical reasons, so why is this man?Although it was a bit far-fetched, Song Pingfeng became more and more suspicious.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Matsudaira asked friendly.

"Huh? Well, it feels a little hot." The man was startled, then wiped his sweat and said.

"Really? It's okay here, the air conditioner isn't turned on too much." Song Pingfeng said in surprise.

"Well, I'm naturally afraid of heat." The man smiled.

"That's right, I thought you were nervous seeing that dead man." Song Pingfeng nodded and said.

"Nervous? Why, it has nothing to do with me." The man raised his voice and wiped his sweat again.

"Oh? Is that so? Generally speaking, shouldn't you be nervous when you see a dead person?" Song Pingfeng said suspiciously, and he was sure that this person was at least related to this case.

"Uh...that's what you said." The man smiled ugly, turned his head away, and didn't intend to talk to Song Pingfeng again.

Seeing this, Song Pingfeng didn't continue to ask any more questions, the problem had already been seen, and after a while the police came and asked them to check to find out what relationship he had with the dead man.

Soon after, the police arrived, quickly pulled up the cordon, and began to investigate the scene.

The victim was named Nakajo Katsunori, 34 years old, and a detective.The cause of death was that he was stabbed into the abdomen with a kitchen knife and bled profusely.

The victim was on the phone a few minutes before his death, and the police immediately called.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The phone rang at the scene, and everyone followed the reputation, and it was a man who had just walked out of the cafe.Behind him, Song Pingfeng followed him calmly.That's right, it was the middle-aged man who was chatting with Matsudaira Kaede in the cafe.

The man hurriedly took out his cell phone from his bag and pressed it, but it was too late, the police had already noticed him.After some questioning, I found out that the man was the manager of a company on the eighth to eleventh floors of this building. Not long ago, it was discovered that someone embezzled public funds, so a detective was called to find out who it was.

Today is the last day he agreed with the detective. He also called to confirm whether the detective had found out, but unexpectedly, the detective was killed downstairs.

"Then it's possible that the person who embezzled public funds killed Mr. Zhongtian for cover-up purposes." Police officer Mu Mu pondered.

"Then you don't know at all who embezzled public funds?" Takagi asked.

"Yes, in fact, a few days ago, Nakajo gave me a list of suspects." As he spoke, the man took out a list from his briefcase, and Takagi took it over to see that there were more than 60 names on it. name!
"Are there so many?" Takagi asked in surprise.

"Well, that's the list." The man nodded and said.

"Then do you know what the circled triangle (○×△) means?" Police Officer Megure asked.Regarding the symbol, the police are basically sure that it is the death message left by the deceased, but it is difficult for them to know what it is.

"Circle and cross triangle?" The man looked at him blankly.

"It's just three symbols. Do you think it doesn't represent anyone on this list?" Officer Mu Mu asked unwillingly.

The man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

Police officer Mu Mu sighed, it seemed that he had to investigate slowly.

"Officer Megure, is there anything I can help you with?" At this moment, Matsudaira's voice came.

Police officer Mumu looked up and asked in surprise, "Matsudaira, why are you here?"

"I was with Maori and the others." Matsudaira explained.

He had been in the cafe just now, and it was normal that Officer Mu Mu didn't see him.On the contrary, Mao Lilan and the others had been around the deceased, and police officer Mu Mu saw them as soon as he arrived.

"I also saw the deceased just now, but due to physical reasons, I didn't stay there all the time, but sat in the cafe for a while." Song Pingfeng said.

"That's right." Officer Mumu nodded. He also knew about Matsudaira Kaede's "blood allergy" and it was said to be quite serious.

Thinking of this, he thought of Song Pingfeng's performance in previous cases, and said to him: "By the way, Song Ping, you came just in time. Please help us look into this case and see if there are any special clues."

Speaking of which, because he has a good relationship with a group of big detectives, Police Officer Mumu has a lot of trust in the investigation of the profession of detectives. They can always see some problems from different angles and help solve the case.

Although sometimes I hate some detectives pointing fingers at the scene, but as long as the case can be solved, Officer Megure is quite generous.What's more, judging from the previous few times, Song Pingfeng is quite well-behaved.

"Well, please introduce this case to me first." Song Pingfeng did not refuse, he stood up to try to solve this case.

Then Takagi explained the general situation to Matsudaira Feng, and after Matsudaira knew about it, he took the list and looked at it.

"According to eyewitnesses, the murderer took part of the document bag from the victim's arms before he left. We suspect that this ○×△ is only a part of the victim's message, and part of it was taken away," Takagi explained. road.

Song Pingfeng nodded, carefully looking at the names on the list.

Seeing that he was watching carefully, Takagi didn't bother him, and went to help investigate the scene.

Frowning and scanning the names on the list, Matsudaira Feng was also thinking about the meaning of ○×△.

Suddenly, Song Pingfeng's eyes lit up, and then he frowned.He saw a name, Kuniji Bunta.

If the upper part of the name is covered, then the three characters "Ji Wentai" are converted from text to handwriting, and then brought into the eagerness of the dying person, it is obviously ○×△.

But what about the word "country" in front of it?
Moreover, after thinking about it carefully, Song Pingfeng found that the reason why he saw this name was that it came from the habit of literacy in Chinese in his previous life, and it was formed by automatically substituting half of the font.

After thinking about it, Matsudaira found Conan who was jumping left and right at the scene.

"Conan, looking at this name list, do you think that name is very special?" Song Pingfeng asked.

"Special?" Conan looked at the name list in doubt, and glanced at it, all of them were familiar and unfamiliar names, nothing special?

"Did you find anything?" Conan asked suspiciously.

"Well, look at the name." Matsudaira pointed to the name "Kuniki Bunta".

"Cover the upper part of the name." As he spoke, Song Pingfeng covered the upper part with his fingers, and then said: "Bringing back the victim's emotions at the time, do you think he would use the word Ji Wentai?" The lower part is written as ○×△?"

Conan's eyes lit up, indeed, this is feasible.

"However, there is one more question, Kuniji Bunta, the name should start with the Chinese characters, why did he only write the last three characters?" Seeing that Conan was about to move, Matsudaira Feng couldn't help reminding.

Conan froze for a moment, then nodded, frowning and thinking, and asked shortly after, "How did you find out?"

He wanted to learn from his thinking, and he might have solved it along the way.

"It's Chinese. There is an unwritten habit in Chinese characters. When you encounter a word you don't know, you can cover half of it and rely on the other half to guess the sound of the word. In most cases, it works. So, I think of Maybe ○×△ doesn’t mean anything, but part of the murderer’s name.” Matsudaira explained.

"Cover half of it?" Conan was taken aback, then ran towards the escalator as if thinking of something.

Song Pingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and thought for a while, a flash of inspiration, he knew.

Since the words can cover half, the name can also "cover" half, the four words "Guoji Buntai" may not all be written on the file bag, in order to prevent the murderer from destroying the evidence, it can be written in a place other than the file bag Write!
After thinking it through, Matsudaira's face returned to calm. Next, it depends on whether Conan can help the police find the remaining "country" character.
