After chatting for about fifteen minutes, through the descriptions of the owner and clerk of the caring company, I got an overall portrait of Ms. Yuki Ezaki.

Yuuki Ezaki is a young man who works in Tokyo. She is usually docile and polite, and everyone around her likes her. Her shortcoming is that she is too weak. Even if she is bullied, she will not choose to call the police. She is often teased and harassed.

This is very similar to the identified results.

Accompanying him was Mr. Ryosuke Nozawa, a 50-year-old veteran forensic doctor. After a simple autopsy, he found that the time of death was between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. The cause of death was asphyxia due to lack of oxygen. There were bruises on the brain. He should have been knocked unconscious in front of his body. Then he was scratched on the chest with a sharp weapon, leaving two shocking cross scars.

Preliminary judgment shows that the deceased was knocked unconscious, scratched, and then locked in a coffin. After waking up, he kept struggling and called for help to no avail, and eventually died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

More detailed information can only be obtained after taking the body back for autopsy.

"Kuragi-kun, your friend seems to be in bad condition. Do you want to go back first?"

Shuichi Mouri looked at Mijiang Takeshima, whose face was pale.

Takeshima Mijiang leaned into Shirakawa's arms and shook her head.

Bai Chuan patted her shoulder, "Don't be too forced."

"I...I want to know who could be so cruel as to kill Miss Yuuki."

Takeshima Mie was greatly touched because she was suffering from a terminal illness. When she saw the gentle and cheerful Ms. Yuuki, she once thought that it would be great if she also had a long life, and she could be as hard-working as she was. Like Ms. Yuki, she has her own career.

But today, she suddenly saw Miss Yuki lying in the coffin, losing all life.

She suddenly understood that there was no necessary relationship between the length of life and terminal illness.

Any accident will take away the fragile human life.

Miss Yuuki's experience made her feel deep sympathy.

Baichuan nodded slightly and returned his mind to the case itself, observing the surroundings for possible missing clues.

24 hours is not enough time.

Katsuhisa Ishibashi, an old employee with a decadent and unkempt appearance. He is usually responsible for carrying coffins and incinerators. His body is covered with a lot of dust. He looks to be in his thirties or forties. He smells of alcohol. He has obviously just drank. , a pair of small eyes looking around, he doesn't look like a serious person.

Wearing OL clothes and black stockings, the tall professional chemist Hirata Yukihan had no expression on her face, but her eyes were full of indifference. She took out a cigarette from her small bag, lit one, and started smoking slowly.

Ichiro Sekiguchi, who has an ordinary appearance and is wearing an employee uniform, has bloodshot eyes and a gloomy expression, as if he has been drained of energy. He has thick dark circles under his eyes, as if he has not slept for several days. The fingers of his left hand are always Trembling is a sign of extreme mental stress.

There were three other employees, two men and one woman, all with frightened expressions on their faces. The older aunt was covering her face and crying, as if this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"Dead, why did he die? What a pity, what a pity."

Katsuhisa Ishibashi sighed.

"snort."

Hirata Xuehan snorted coldly and continued to smoke.

"Why is this happening? Why is it happening like this? Yuki-chan, Yuki-chan."

Ichiro Sekiguchi muttered in a low voice, seemingly exhausted.

"What a wonderful girl to die like that."

The old aunt cried.

"Yes, Miss Yuki told me yesterday that she was going to adopt a stray cat, and it died today."

One employee shook his head and sighed.

Maori Shuichi asked his police officers to record statements for them respectively.

When Maori Xiuichi wanted to call up the front desk monitoring screen, he was troubled to find that the front desk monitoring had never been turned on, and it was equivalent to just a decoration.

Through the front desk phone, police technicians found several groups of numbers, which they often called between 9 and 10 in the morning and between 5 and 6 in the afternoon.

These groups of numbers should be the numbers that often harassed the deceased.

Maori Shuichi asked the team members to catch the person based on the number and conduct an investigation.

According to the descriptions of people around her, the deceased Ms. Yuki Ezaki was kind, gentle, kind, and even a little cowardly, so she definitely didn’t have many enemies. Those who harassed her were serious suspects.

Shirakawa identified Sugisaki Ryuji, Sekiguchi Ichiro, Hirata Yukihan and Ishibashi Katsuhisa respectively, and got surprising clues.

This chapter is an extra update, there will be another chapter at 12 noon!

The 11th fifth suspect (please subscribe for updates of 10,000 words)

When Ryuji Sugisaki was dating the deceased Yuki Ezaki, he actually had an improper relationship with makeup artist Yukihan Hirata. His fiancée Uchimura Umi never knew about it. It can be said that he was a master of time management.

Until Hirata Xuehan was jealous of the closer relationship between the deceased and the boss, and reported the relationship between the two to the boss's fiancée.

Sugisaki Ryuji had to break up with the deceased because the company was actually the property of his fiancee's father, and if he left his fiancée, he would have nothing.

When he proposed to break up with the deceased Yuki Ezaki, Yuki Ezaki, who had always been cowardly and did not dare to speak even if he was bullied, went out of his way and threatened Ryuuji Sugisaki, saying that she was already pregnant with his child. If he was unwilling to marry him, It will ruin his reputation.

Although the pregnancy was fake, it still angered the seemingly gentle and affectionate man Sugisaki Ryuji, who was actually quite selfish.

Therefore, Sugisaki Ryuji had the motive to kill.

Ichiro Sekiguchi found the deceased Yuki Ezaki two months ago and took the initiative to apply for a job at the Kinoshita Neko Death Care Company.

At that time, Sugisaki Ryuuji was still dating Ezaki Yuuki. In order to show off, Sugisaki Ryuji directly showed Sekiguchi Ichiro the indecent video of the deceased and him, and told Sekiguchi Ichiro that Ezaki Yuuki was once very famous in the custom street. As long as he If you're willing to spend money, you won't be able to sleep.

Ichiro Sekiguchi has always kept this secret deep in his heart, and tried to confess his love to Yuki Ezaki again. As long as she is still willing to be with him, he can abandon all the misfortunes in the past, but unfortunately he was rejected again.

Ichiro Sekiguchi was very angry. In a rage, he burned all the collected photos of the deceased and came up with the idea of ​​​​making the deceased pay the price.

Therefore, Ichiro Sekiguchi also had a motive for killing.

Hirata Yukihan has always been jealous of Ezaki Yuuki. Even after she had a relationship with Sugisaki Ryuji, Sugizaki Ryuji compared her with Ezaki Yuuki and thought that she was inferior to Ezaki Yuuki in every aspect. This hurt her greatly. Her pride led her to tell her boss's fiancée about her boss, but this still did not eliminate her inner jealousy.

Especially after seeing Ichiro Sekiguchi who had been pursuing him from her hometown to Tokyo, she became even more jealous of Yuki Ezaki, and even began to deliberately imitate Yuki Ezaki in her dressing, hoping to replace her.

Therefore, Hirata Xuehan also had a motive for murder.

Ishibashi Katsuhisa always harassed Ezaki Yuuki. After being warned many times by his boss, his behavior restrained. However, one time he accidentally saw Ryuji Sugisaki and Ezaki Yuuki playing poker in the office, which once again aroused the evil thoughts in his heart. He took the video and threatened Ezaki Yuuki to make her submit, but unfortunately she was still rejected.

Ezaki Yuuki didn't care at all that the video of herself and Sugisaki Ryuji was leaked, and even hoped that it would.

As a result, Ishibashi Katsuhisa found many people who often called and harassed Ezaki Yuuki, and sometimes sent her explicit text messages.

Esaki Yuuki was chatting with her colleagues during dinner, took out the explicit text messages he sent, and said how could she fall in love with a man in his thirties who still had nothing?

Listening to the ridicule of his colleagues, Ishibashi Katsuhisa was completely irritated, and made a threatening phone call to Esaki Yuuki that night.

Therefore, Katsuhisa Ishibashi also had a motive for murder.

All four people have a motive for murder. With careful questioning, even the police can get the same result as the identification technique.

However, none of these four people look like psychopathic killers who commit serial crimes. They have neither criminal records nor follow-up targets. If it is a simple murder case, their suspicions will be very high.

But if this is just the beginning and there will be victims later, then the probability that they are the murderers is very small.

In other words, there is a fifth suspect!

Who could be the fifth suspect?

Because Bai Chuan had used the identification technique six times in a row, he couldn't concentrate mentally, causing his thoughts to become somewhat confused.

"Is there any coffee?"

Bai Chuan suddenly asked.

Shuichi Mouri looked at his boss, Ryuji Sugisaki, and asked, "Is there any coffee?"

"Yes, yes, wait a moment."

Sugisaki Ryuji quickly brought a ceramic tray with three cups of coffee, one for each of Mouri Shuichi, Shirakawa and Takeshima Mie.

As his clients, Shirakawa and Takeshima Mie were the ones he was supposed to take care of.

"I'm very sorry, but it seems your funeral will have to be postponed."

he said apologetically.

Takeshima Mie shook her head, "The most important thing is to find out the cause of Miss Esaki's death."

Baichuan drank the coffee in one gulp and regained his mental strength for a moment.

"Where is the deceased's cell phone?"

Bai Chuan suddenly asked.

"We searched the scene but couldn't find Ms. Yuki Ezaki's mobile phone."

the young police officer replied.

"Isn't this the first crime scene? The mobile phone is still at the first crime scene, or the mobile phone fell on the road when the victim was transferred."

Shuichi Mori deduced.

Bai Chuan shook his head,

"According to their description, the victim was at the company all day yesterday, and Kinoshita Neko Death Care Company should be the scene of the first crime."

"The victim's cell phone was taken away by the murderer."

Shuichi Mouri's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked technicians to locate the phone number of the deceased Yuki Ezaki.

Although the mobile phone has been turned off, the longitude and latitude can still be found through base station positioning.

But what is regrettable is that the location is within the Kinoshita Neko Death Care Company.

Finally, the police found the damaged mobile phone in the women's restroom of the company.

"What does the number 24 on the deceased's head mean?"

Mouri Shuichi looked at Shirakawa in confusion.

"It means if the case is not solved within 24 hours, there will be another victim."

Bai Chuan said directly.

Mouri Shuichi's face became more serious, and he subconsciously wanted to seek Bai Chuan's opinion.

"Kuragi-kun, do you have any ideas now?"

"Actually, the idea is the same as that of the Maori police officer. First, we check the individuals who had friction with the deceased, and then based on the time of death, ask for their alibi to determine whether they have the time to commit the crime."

Bai Chuan held the coffee cup and said calmly.

Maori Xiu nodded, "For now, the targets of my suspicion are several phone callers who often harassed the deceased."

"No, there is nothing wrong with them. They were just hired to harass the deceased, Ms. Yuuki Esaki. The person who has the problem should be the person who hired them, Mr. Katsuhisa Ishibashi."

Shirakawa looked at the unkempt middle-aged man Katsuhisa Ishibashi, "Mr. Katsuhisa Ishibashi, right?"

Katsuhisa Ishibashi immediately denied nervously, "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't do it at all, it wasn't me, I didn't kill Yuki Ezaki!"

"So those harassing calls were all made by you. So you are indeed very suspicious."

Hirata Xuehan, who was smoking a lady's cigarette, said, "Because she always rejected you, you were angry and killed her, it is also possible."

"Yes, I also saw you taking advantage of Yuki-chan."

The older aunt also recalled.

"It's you, you killed Yuki-chan, you devil!"

Ichiro Sekiguchi held his head and cried.

Katsuhisa Ishibashi had beads of sweat on his head, and pointed at the makeup artist Hirata Xuehan rudely and said:

"I didn't, you are talking nonsense! If you want to talk about suspicion, you are more suspicious. You have always been jealous that Yuki Ezaki is more popular than you, and you are even more jealous of Yuki Ezaki's relationship with the boss. And you, Ichiro Sekiguchi, don't pretend to be innocent. You clearly said that Yuki Ezaki will pay the price."

"Enough."

The gentle boss of Kinoshita Cat's Death Care Company, Ryuji Sugisaki, suddenly spoke up and interrupted the irritable Katsuhisa Ishibashi.

If he continued to talk, his own affairs would be exposed.

Mouri Shuichi frowned and looked at everyone present seriously,

"Please cooperate with the police investigation and repeat everything you know, as well as what you were doing and who you were with from 2 to 3 a.m. today."

Takeshima Mie's eyes were full of surprise. She really couldn't imagine that the seemingly harmonious Kinoshita Cat's Death Care Company actually hid so many complicated interpersonal relationships.

Miss Yuki Ezaki looks gentle, kind, and hardworking, so why do so many people want her dead?
