Coroner Coroner

If it hadn't been for Asai Chengshi who used forensic knowledge to discover the hidden scars on the deceased's back, it was speculated that he had fought with people indoors before his death.

This case might really end with the word "accident".

Therefore, Asai Chengshi is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this case.

But at this moment, facing the praise from his colleagues from the heart, he stood there with a dull expression, without any reaction.

"Asai..."

What Miwako Sato realized:

"Are you still feeling sorry for Mr. Iida's misfortune?"

"He is indeed a good man, but unfortunately..."

"Eh..." Asai Narumi suddenly came back to his senses.

He straightened out his thoughts in silence, and then replied:

"I'm really thinking about Mr. Iida."

"However, it's not just about feeling sorry for him."

"I was thinking..."

"Mr. Iida could have called the police directly when he caught the prisoner, but he didn't do so."

"And Miss Sato, your father..."

"Officer Masayoshi Sato did the same back then. He could have called his colleagues to help, but he still chose to go after the murderer alone."

"Is there some similarity between the two?"

"This..." Miwako Sato was slightly taken aback.

She didn't expect that what Asai Chengshi was thinking about now was her father's case.

"Mr. Iida didn't notify the police directly because he wanted to give the prisoner a chance to surrender himself."

"And my father...wait..."

While talking, Miwako Sato choked again.

She showed a more tangled and confused expression than Asai Shiromi, but was shocked, surprised, and suddenly enlightened:

"Yes, turn yourself in, turn yourself in..."

"Isn't this the Chou Si Lang that my father kept shouting before he died?"

In Japanese, "Go surrender" and "Sorrow" are homonyms.

"So, that's how it is..."

Miwako Sato's voice trembled slightly.

After today's case and Asai's reminder, she finally solved the doubt that has plagued her for 18 years:

"No wonder my father didn't notify his colleagues after finding out the identity of the murderer."

"No wonder he had the opportunity to reveal the identity of the murderer before his death, but he didn't say so."

"It turns out...he wanted to give the murderer a chance to turn himself in!"

"Just like Mr. Iida did!"

The mystery was instantly solved.

And once the truth behind "Chou Si Lang" is revealed, the next investigation will be smooth:

"Why would my father think of giving the murderer a chance to surrender?"

"He is different from Mr. Iida."

"Mr. Iida met the murderer face to face before he was persuaded by the murderer and felt sympathy for him."

"And after my father found out the murderer's identity, he chose to give him a chance to surrender before he had a face-to-face meeting with him."

That alone is enough to be suspicious.

Not to mention, the murderer in Mr. Iida's case was just a burglar at the beginning.

As for the Susiro case that year, what Masayoshi Sato pursued was a gangster who robbed with a gun and killed a bank security guard.

The degree of danger of the two is completely different.

Sympathy for the thief is understandable.

It sounds weird to feel sympathy for a gunman who robs and murders.

But Masayoshi Sato chose to give him a chance to surrender as soon as he found out the identity of the murderer.

"this means…"

Sato Miwako's tone became more and more excited:

"It means that my father knows the murderer!"

"Besides, their relationship must be pretty good."

"He didn't tell his colleagues the identity of the murderer, he went to confront the murderer alone, and he didn't even reveal the identity of the murderer before he died."

"It's all because..."

Flower of Metropolitan Police Department's voice was a little choked.

There was a rare fragility on her face:

"My father firmly believed until his death that the murderer would definitely repent, listen to his persuasion, and surrender himself."

But the result is obviously not the case.

A full 18 years have passed, and the murderer is still missing.

"But he can't hide anymore."

Asai Chengmi quietly encouraged:

"Sato, since the murderer is an acquaintance who has a very good relationship with your father."

"Then you should be able to confirm the identity of the suspect from among your father's friends back then?"

"Well... I can!"

Miwako Sato nodded firmly:

Her father was dedicated to the public and was not good at human relations, so he didn't have many friends.

And most of those friends who were close to her father back then lived a stable life and had ample money, so they wouldn't be so poor that they would rob a bank with a gun.

Masayoshi Sato's poor friend 18 years ago...

Using these conditions to screen and exclude, the number of suspects is not much.

In addition, the 5.5 million cash that was robbed from the bank that year has not yet circulated in the market, so it should still be hidden in the hands of the murderer.

The number of suspects is limited, and there is still such an easy-to-find evidence in hand.

This case should not be difficult to solve.

"Thank you..." Miwako Sato was so grateful that she could hardly speak: "Asai!"

........................

"so…"

"Naromi Asai, just like this to help Ms. Miwako realize her long-cherished wish?"

At night, the first emergency cadre meeting of the Metropolitan Police Department and Miwako Sato's defense line.

The chief executive, Ren Saburo Shiratori, had an incomparably dignified expression.

Takagi Wataru, who came to report the situation, also had a complicated expression.

Because not so long ago...

Hua, who has troubled the Metropolitan Police Department for 18 years, has been solved by a man who claims that "as long as you help her find the murderer, you can agree to any request".

Narumi Asai just reminded a few words to help Miwako Sato clear her mind.

Miwako Sato tried to investigate the suspect who was the most embarrassing and most likely to commit a crime among her father's friends 18 years ago...

He really copied 5.5 million cash from the other party's old house.

The stolen goods are all obtained, and the other party can only plead guilty.

It turned out that although the murderer failed Masayoshi Sato's good intentions, he did not dare to surrender to the police.

But he always felt guilty about Masayoshi Sato's death, and realized his mistake.

So in the past 18 years, he has not spent the stolen money he robbed, but made money through hard work and started his life again.

As a result, the 5.5 million cash has been kept intact until now.

It became the ironclad evidence against his identity as the murderer.

What is even more fortunate is that because the other party lived abroad for 18 of the 3 years, according to Japanese regulations, it is not included in the criminal statute of limitations.

Therefore, the 15-year criminal prosecution period has not yet expired.

After the other party pleaded guilty to the law, he had to accept the punishment honestly for the crimes he committed back then.

The Chou Si Lang case was solved in such an understatement.

Miwako Sato's long-cherished wish, which she has never forgotten for many years, has finally been realized.

This is undoubtedly a happy ending for everyone.

But there are still some male compatriots who are not very happy.

He even hid in the Metropolitan Police Department and held a small meeting to discuss countermeasures:

"Sarimi Asai is coming to another city."

"He helped Miss Miwako realize her wish this time, and the situation is getting worse and worse for us."

"Next, we must take the necessary intervention measures and increase our efforts."

All the male compatriots in Miwako Sato's defense line looked solemn and depressed.
