I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 12: Arrested and brought to justice

  Chapter 532 Arrested and brought to justice

   and Ma asked the forensic examiner: "Can you check what this liquid is?"

  "If you think this is key evidence, you can ask for it, and we'll take a sample for testing."

   and Ma: "Okay, let's take a sample before this is done."

   "Understood." The forensic examiner immediately turned around and took out the absorbent paper from the forensic toolbox, and began to absorb the water on the ground.

   and Ma asked again: "Can you see some live photos of the dead now?"

  "Now? Even if the unannounced visits are quick, they will be washed out at night."

  Mayo exclaimed: "Isn't it actually taken with a Polaroid?"

  "The sharpness of the polaroid is not enough, how can I use it to take photos of the scene."

   and Ma: "So I can't see the photos of the scene now? Then how can I find clues on the corpse?"

  The forensic examiner stuffed the clipboard he was holding to Kazuma: "Come on, imagine it with words."

   and Ma frowned. At this time, the police officer Juda said, "I saw the scene and I can explain it to you."

   and Ma: "Then tell me, what is the posture of the owner of the house lying here?"

   "He was lying on his side, lying on the ground like this." Detective Juda made direct gestures with his hands, "The wound was on the side, and the aorta was just broken, so the blood flow was so exaggerated."

   and Ma: "So this trace was caused by the owner lying here?"

   "Yes, the head is in this position. The owner's son is lying here, also on his side, and then the mother is in this position. The midline of the three bodies just forms a triangle."

   and Ma: "Is it also sideways?"

  "Yes."

   At this time, Mayo suddenly touched the back of his head and said, "The blood of the three people has all gathered together, so they should be able to be companions on Huangquan Road."

   and Ma: "It must be possible."

  Asano looked at Kazuma: "We definitely want to catch the murderer and comfort the dead."

  "That's natural, why did you say this all of a sudden?" He Ma looked puzzled, "Have any of your relatives been killed and the case unsolved?"

  "No. I just sighed suddenly, why?"

   "Instead of feeling this, let's take a look at the details of the scene that are worth noting." Kazuma patted Asano's head with a knife, "I'm going to see other rooms."

   Detective Juda said, "If there is nothing else, I'm going to search for the missing weapon with my partner."

   and Ma: "Wait a minute, what does the weapon look like?"

  "Look at the shape of the wound, it's a bit like a bayonet."

  "A bayonet?" He Ma frowned, "This weapon is a bit surprising."

  "The pair should be familiar with it. The thugs of the Fuqing Gang like to use a foreign military thorn with a bloodletting slot. But this time, the wound doesn't seem to have a bloodletting slot. Then I'll go."

   "Search for the murder weapon, come on." He Ma waved his hand, then left the living room at the murder scene and walked to the bedroom.

   There is a bookcase in the bedroom, and Ma curiously flips through the books on the bookcase.

  "Edogawa Ranpo... This guy is actually a reasoning fan..."

   and Ma were speechless.

  The readership of mystery novels in Japan is huge, so huge that mystery novelists can become national best-selling authors.

   It is precisely because Japan has such a huge group of mystery novel fans that it can support the Bengue School inference publishing market.

   Benguet reasoning is very resistant to using text to interfere with readers' understanding of the case. Many Benguet reasoning works are like puzzles given by writers to readers. People who are not interested in puzzles find it very boring.

  The Japanese reasoning writers liked by    and Ma, like Keigo Higashino, are not the reasoning writers of the Bengue faction, and they all like to play with the narrative.

   But judging from the books on the shelf, the owner of the house is a fan of Benguet mystery novels. He has bought a lot of Bengaist works, and seems to have subscribed to Bengaist magazines.

   Many of the works published in these reasoning magazines are like riddles for the magazine audience, and even letters from readers analyzing the case will be published.

   and Ma were flipping through the magazine when a police uniformed patrolman came to report: "The editor of the resident of Room 101 has arrived."

   and Ma: "Huh? Do you want me to meet this editor?"

  The words "or else" were written on the patrol's face, and Kazuma had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll come. Where are they?"

  "Upstairs in room 101."

  "Okay, I'll go up right away."

   He Ma said and waved to Asano, who was looking at the hostess' cosmetics in the house: "Let's go."

   "This hostess uses very young makeup." Asano said to Kazuma, "Just looking at the makeup collection on the dresser, I would have thought she was a high school girl."

   and Ma: "You can tell?"

   "Yes, some cosmetics are simply advertised for young girls. For example, this lipstick is advertised as 'Meet First Love'. A housewife with a ten-year-old child wears the lipstick of Encounter First Love. No matter how you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. ."

   and Ma: "Are you familiar with cosmetics?"

  "I'm very familiar, I'm a handsome guy." Mayo proudly declared, "Whether it's for her own use or for girls, knowledge about cosmetics is essential."

   Kazuma wanted to order Asano to shave his head at this moment. He just can't stand handsome guys boasting.

   and Ma: "How many girls do you have in your hands?"

  "Not many, I'm more specific, I only have three now."

   and Ma smiled slightly: "Hmph, not as much as me."

   Actually, there are more Asanos. After all, Kazuma has only sung Tamamo until now.

   But I can't stand Hanaba Takashi, so I have to spread rumors all day long.

   Mayo complained: "It's too much, it's too much! The police department makes up for you to challenge me in the field I'm good at!"

  "Shut up and follow."

   He Ma said this, strode out of the door, and greeted the forensic examiner who was still collecting evidence as he passed the living room: "I'll go up and listen to the testimony in Room 101."

   "You've worked hard," the forensic examiner exclaimed.

   and the horse went out of the gate, turned to the side, and then went up the stairs made of welded iron plates.

  Asano was speechless: "This ladder doesn't have a canopy, it will be very inconvenient in the rainy season."

   Kazuma: "Renting a house for 50,000 yen a month in Shinjuku is enough."

  Shinjuku is the center of Tokyo. Although the plaza agreement has not been signed yet, the land price has already reached an inch of land. Signing the plaza agreement is even more incredible.

  50,000 yen a month to rent a 1LDK in Shinjuku, can't complain at all.

   and the horse walked up the stairs, the dilapidated iron staircase let out a piercing scream.

  "Is this ladder too long?" Asano stuttered, "Fortunately, I'm lighter. The police department's weight is so heavy that it can't breathe. You should lose weight."

   "I'm a martial artist, and a heavy chassis is good for stability." He Ma said.

   As soon as we reached the second floor, the door of room 102 opened, and the resident shouted angrily: "Who is it? Can't you be lighter?"

   and Ma Ma Li took out the police badge.

The resident of   102 was embarrassed: "Uh... Detective Sang, no, it wasn't you just now."

   "Search the first lesson Kiryu and Ma Police Department Bubu, this is my partner Asano. Are you a resident of 102?"

   He Ma glanced at the sign at the door of 102, which said "West City".

  Mr. Xicheng angrily said: "You can't tell if you don't see it? How can I come out of the room if I'm not a guest?"

   and Ma arrived at the door of 102, took a look inside, and found that the room was a mess, and there was a bucket in the center of the room.

   And the room smells of air freshener.

   and Ma: "Did you report the roof leak to the landlord?"

   "Yeah, you can't tell by looking at it? I always keep two buckets, one in the living room to collect water, and one for daily use. If there is a rainstorm and typhoon, both buckets may be used."

  "After you reported for repairs, the landlord didn't say when to repair them?"

   "He said, 'in a few days', every time in a few days. I think he just thinks that he doesn't have to worry about renting this dilapidated house, and he doesn't want to repair it at all!" Mr. Xicheng said fiercely.

   "So you have a personal conflict with him." He Ma said.

   "I had an alibi last night. I arrived at the bar at ten o'clock, and I drank all the way until four in the morning. The bartender and guests at the bar can testify for me! After the bar closed, I went straight to work to deliver The newspaper is gone, and my co-workers can testify to me!"

   and Ma nodded: "Understood."

   Mr. Saijo stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, snorted, and closed the door with a flick of his hand.

  Asano frowned: "I don't like this guy, it feels like he's provoking us. 'You can't solve my puzzle, stupid policeman'."

   and Ma: "He's bald."

  "Huh?"

  "Did you notice? He has nylon at the roots of his hair, obviously wearing a wig."

  "Fuck you, have you noticed this? It's amazing!"

   "Go to 101." He Ma said.

   The person who opened the door for Hema in Room 101 pointed at the person in the room as soon as he saw the police badge and said, "I'm here as an editor! You ask him where I wrote yesterday! I really wrote all night. 's manuscript!"

The people in the    room stood up, bowed to Kazuma, and then handed over the business card: "I'm the editor of Fuji Study, and I've been here every day to urge the teacher's manuscripts."

   and Ma: "What time did you leave here yesterday?"

  "I took the last tram home yesterday."

   "Oh, it's very late. Did you hear anything at that time? For example, the sound of the air conditioner running."

   and Ma asked.

  Some people in Japan believe that fighting the heat with root and perseverance is good for the body, so even if there is an air conditioner at home, it will not be turned on until it can't stand it.

  The editor tilted his head and recalled: "It doesn't seem to be."

   and Ma immediately turned to the writer: "Can you remember when the air conditioner was on?"

   "I... the code type finally made me fall asleep on the table. I still have traces of my saliva on my manuscript paper! The traces of saliva can prove my words!" The writer said hysterically.

  Asano smiled bitterly: "What's the use of proving this. You still don't have an alibi, teacher."

  "I...I really didn't kill the landlord's family! Although I usually have a quarrel with the landlord's family because they are watching TV too loudly at home, but I won't be tempted to kill! It's 102. Dude, he said he was going to stab the landlord several times!"

   and Ma: "Are you sure?"

   "Yes! All the residents have heard him shout like this. He is the most suspect! Go and catch him! And he is such a rotten guy that he doesn't even know what his occupation is. He often hangs out at the bar until four or five o'clock. When you come back, you will make a lot of noise when you come back!"

   and Ma frowned: "Did you hear him making a loud noise early this morning?"

  "No, I really fell asleep when I was rushing to draft."

   and Ma: "Do you know what time you go to bed?"

  "I don't know...but I remember hearing the cat meowing Chun outside the house around three o'clock, so I looked at the table below!"

   and Ma make a quick note in the police manual: the air conditioner is off at three o'clock.

  "Thank you for your cooperation. Please make sure you stay where we can find you at any time, and have a great time coding today."

  The writer looks like a deflated ball: "How can I code now! I really didn't kill the landlord's family!"

The editor    also stepped forward and said, "Teacher can't bear to kill a fish. I don't think he would do such a thing."

   and Ma: "We will find out the truth, don't worry. Please trust the police."

  The writer is already crying: "The next step is that you will punish me. The Japanese police like to be submissive. My life is over..."

   and Ma: "No, please trust the police. Maybe the Metropolitan Police Department does have some bad detectives, but I will find out the truth."

   "You look like a bad detective too, with a face full of flesh." The writer closed the door after finishing speaking.

   and Ma glanced at Ma Ye: "My face is full of flesh?"

   "It's alright, there are so many detectives who don't have the right team to look at." Asano said.

   and Ma shrugged, turned and walked towards the stairs.

  "What's next?"

   "Walk around outside the scene, and then go back to headquarters to wait for the autopsy report." He Ma replied.

  **

​​​​​​

   and Ma: "What's wrong?"

  "The time of death was seven or eight this morning, much later than we expected."

   and Ma were speechless: "Died in the morning?"

  "Yes, the cause of death was excessive blood loss.

   "Then the previous speculation will be overturned. Before ten o'clock, the owner's mother-in-law entered the room and found the body. If he died at seven or eight o'clock, it was just work time, and this apartment was also located in a crowded area. On many roads, people who rent from several apartments nearby will go to work.”

  Ida Detective wrote the new time of death on the whiteboard: "Go and visit the nearby residents, maybe someone saw the murderer!"

   and Ma: "Did you print out the photos from the scene?"

   "It was printed out." Kameyama, Ida's detective partner, handed a portfolio to Wuma.

   and Ma took out the photo and carefully observed the deceased.

   "Sure enough, there are water marks," he whispered.

   Detective Juda came over curiously: "What water marks?"

   "Look at the wound near the corpse, there are obvious traces of moisture, something wet the clothes of the deceased first, and then the blood flowed out."

  Keyama criminal police looked at the autopsy report: "Ah, the forensic doctor also found that there is unusual moisture near the wound, and the muscle tissue has mild frostbite..."

   and Ma: "It's a skating blade. Someone stabbed three people with a skating blade, and then turned on the air conditioner to heat up. After the skating blade melted, a lot of blood would flow out."

  "But it shouldn't, the three of them showed no signs of resistance at all, ah, wait a minute!"

   Detective Juda stood up abruptly: "Mr. Landlord has been troubled by insomnia for a long time, so he will take sleeping pills. Look here, the ingredients of sleeping pills have been detected on the three people in the room.

   "But why do the child and the landlord's wife take sleeping pills? Did the murderer invite the three of them to drink tea first, and there are sleeping pills in the tea, and then wait for the three to fall asleep before committing the murder?"

   and Ma pursed their lips: "Yes, Mr. Landlord took sleeping pills and fell asleep, but Mrs. Landlady couldn't explain it. Do they usually like to go to bed and black tea?"

   finished talking and laughed awkwardly with Ma himself. It's not good to play such embarrassing jokes at this time.

   Interpol Juda asked suspiciously: "Why black tea? Does this have anything to do with the case?"

  "Don't worry, I have a funny head. So, what's going on?"

   The four looked at each other.

  Asano picked up the detailed forensic report of the forensic department, and said while turning over: "Why don't we start from another place? Maybe the forensic department found the murderer's hair from the scene?"

   and Ma: "As a landlord, he often has to receive guests, and he can explain whoever finds the hair in the room, but can't identify a certain person."

​​​​​​

   Kazuma: "If it was an ice skate to kill, it is very likely that the murder occurred at night, and then the prisoner used the timer function of the air conditioner to set the time for the air conditioner to automatically turn on, and then went to make his own alibi."

  "Then how do you explain that all three of them drank sleeping pills?"

   and Ma curled their lips: "I don't know. Maybe the landlady cheated on her and wanted to have an affair, so she deliberately gave her husband and children sleeping pills? Then her lover came over and gave her a cup of black tea with sleeping pills, and she fell asleep after drinking it. , and then the three were brutally murdered."

   Detective Juda snorted: "You're talking too much. A lover suddenly ran out..."

  Mayo: "The lipstick used by the landlord's wife, the slogan is 'Meet first love'. She is an old woman, and her cosmetics should be more focused on skin care, anti-aging, water retention, etc., but she uses only young girls. sweet cosmetics!"

   Kameyama Criminal Police Officer frowned: "Just because of this, it is concluded that the landlady has an extramarital affair?"

   and Ma: "This is an idea. In order to cheat on the child, give sleeping pills to the child, and then make out with the partner of the extramarital affair in front of her husband, and have a good time, this lady."

​​​​​​

   "Go and visit, if there is really an extramarital affair, the landlady will definitely buy men's products." He Ma said.

   "She is a woman with a husband, and he would have bought men's products." Detective Iida reminded.

   "Then she bought it, but the items that she couldn't find in her house were given to her lover. In addition, the mold of the ice blade is also a starting point. This kind of mold is not common."

   Criminal Police Officer Iida nodded: "In fact, from the shape of the wound, the ice blade should be in the shape of a bayonet. This mold is either modified by yourself or customized from the manufacturer."

  "Then we will start with these two lines tomorrow."

  "Tomorrow?" Detective Juda looked at Kazuma, "You have arrived at the search class, and you still want to leave work normally?"

   "No, it's seven o'clock now, we don't get off work, the places we visit are going to get off work." He Ma spread his hands.

​​​​​​

   "I know." He waved with Ma.

  **

   The next day, when He Ma arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, the police detective Juda ran over and said, "I found the mold of the ice blade, and I just sent it to the forensic department. I'm going to go there, how about you?"

   and Ma: "Go! Where's your partner?"

  "The idiot is probably still in the gentle town of women. Isn't your partner here too?"

   Kazuma glanced at the desk given to Asano's house in the corner of the office yesterday.

   I don't know who would have thought, moving a school desk to use as a desk for Asano, which looks very out of tune with the entire search class.

   and Ma: "Let's go."

   Detective Juda nodded: "Let's go."

   After a while, the two rushed to the forensic department, and Kazuma saw the wooden mold at a glance.

  "Wood?"

  The forensic examiner nodded: "Yes, wood. The interior is polished with sandpaper to a glossy finish. The maker is an expert in woodworking."

   Kazuma immediately remembered the contents of the household profile.

   "The resident of 102 used to be a carpenter." He Ma said.

  "That alone won't prove it's him. Are there any fingerprints or anything on it?"

  "No." The forensic examiner shook his head, "I wiped it carefully and found nothing."

   and Ma got close and smelled: "It smells like air freshener."

  "Eh, is there any?" The forensic examiner was shocked and came close to smell it, "No!"

  "Yes, I have a more sensitive nose." He Ma replied, "Do a good test, there must be residues. This smell, I remember, I also smelled the same smell in room 102."

   At this time, Asano hurried over, and when he saw Kazuma, he complained loudly: "Kiryu Police Department, you should join up with your partner and start investigating the case!"

   and Ma: "You came just in time, let's go catch the criminal."

   Detective Juda was shocked: "Catch annoying people? Don't make trouble, applying for an arrest warrant is very troublesome, unless you can catch the current offender."

   and Ma smiled at Iida: "Anyway, as long as the criminal pleads guilty, the Japanese police can arrest him, right? Therefore, it is faster to confront the criminal directly than to conduct a thorough investigation. This is why I I learned from the process of solving the 300 million yen robbery."

  300 million yen robbery, Kazuma relied on forcing the prisoner to the palace, in fact, there was no evidence at all.

   So he deeply realized that the Japanese police attach great importance to criminal confession.

   As long as the prisoner confesses his guilt, the Japanese police can convict people with very little evidence.

   Therefore, compared to investigation, breaking the criminal's psychological defense line and making him confess is the most important thing.

   I can't believe it's true in detective novels.

   and Ma strode out of the forensics department and went straight to the elevator.

   Now Mr. Xicheng is delivering newspapers, and the distribution center where he works has long been familiar with Ma.

   He picked up the car and took Asano straight to his destination.

   Then he unfortunately got stuck in the middle of the road.

   No police lights and sirens are his eternal pain.

   The key point is that this can't be solved by recording a siren with the crepe shop's equipment. Police cars with sirens must be registered, and cars that are not registered will be wearing small shoes if they sound their sirens.

   Finally, where Xicheng works, Kazuma found out that he was off work.

   After tossing for a long time, and Ma Cai found Xicheng in a pachinko shop.

  Xicheng glanced at Hema: "It's the detective-san, I have nothing to tell you, my alibi is perfect!"

   and Ma: "But you concealed the execution of your affair with the landlady, didn't you?"

   Xicheng's hand froze when playing Pachinko.

  "So what?" Xicheng said loudly, "Is there a rule that you can't have a married woman?"

   "The landlady will give her son sleeping pills every night in order to have an affair with you. Then the night before yesterday, you put sleeping pills in the wine you brought, and after drinking it, she was stabbed with three ice knives. The landlord's family."

   "You accuse me, do you have any evidence?" Xicheng interrupted Kazuma.

   and Ma laughed: "Of course I have. This is a photo of the scene."

   and Ma took out the photo and showed it to Mr. Saijo.

   "Have you noticed that Mr. Landlord's posture is different? He woke up halfway, and then held the ice blade on his chest. At this time, part of the ice blade that had melted was broken, and Mr. Landlord also bleeded early because of this. die."

   Xicheng angrily said, "What does that have to do with me? I drank all night that night and went to deliver the newspaper the next day! I have an alibi!"

  "You didn't. Because the real murder time was before twelve o'clock that night. As for the evidence..."

   and Ma reached out and took the wig on top of Xicheng's head: "It's right here. I noticed before, the edges of your wig are a bit uneven here, why?"

   Mr. Xicheng, who was suddenly taken off his wig, was a little panicked: "You! Give me back the wig!"

   and Ma raised the wig high, because the others were taller, so even if Xicheng stood up, there was no way to get the wig back.

  "Answer me, why is the edge of your wig a little uneven? Generally, this kind of wig will be made as real! But I knew you were wearing a wig at first glance, and you were bald!"

  Xicheng said angrily: "The quality of the wig is just not good!"

  "No! I think the quality of this wig is quite good, but you tore the wig to pieces in the process of some excesses! You are so precious wearing this wig, I guess the person who gave it to you, Is it important to you? As long as you investigate, you will probably know who gave you this wig!"

   "Go check it out!" Mr. Xicheng shouted.

   "Besides, I saw a women's fashion magazine in your room." He Ma stared at Xicheng, "I saw it the moment you opened the door yesterday! 'Meet your first love', the slogan is It's in a magazine. I think you've bought that lipstick, but you can't find it in your room."

   "I often give things to the women I meet at the bar, and I have to read more fashion magazines before I can talk about flirting with girls! You don't know how to flirt with girls, right?" Xicheng said stubbornly.

   "You shouldn't know, these luxury items are numbered in order to prove their dignity. Which one did you buy, just check it out." Mayo interrupted suddenly, "And that one The number is written on the bottom of the box."

   Xicheng was stunned.

   and Ma continued: "Also, I smelled the smell of air freshener in your house. Did you have any smell that you wanted to cover that day? For example, the smell of blood."

  Xicheng: "After the murder, my house was searched by the police immediately!"

   "Yes, of course it will be searched. But the smell you want to cover up is not the smell that actually exists, but the smell in your heart!" He Ma said loudly, "By the way, the mold you throw away, also Smells like a freshener. Forensics will prove it's the same scent you've sprayed in your home!"

   and Ma suddenly raised their voices: "Xicheng-san! Confess!"

  Xicheng was taken aback by the sudden increase in the volume of Hema, and after a while he said tremblingly: "The landlady and I are just playing."

   and Ma shouted angrily: "Explain the facts of your crime! Don't detour!"

  "I explained. I didn't take it seriously at all, but the landlady suddenly told me that she wanted to go with me. Can you imagine? A half-old milf, and I was a good young man, she actually asked me to marry her!

   "So I decided to break up, but the landlady said, if I break up, tell his husband, and then kick me out of the room. The landlord, very violent, beat me many times. I was with the landlady. Well, just to get revenge on him!

  "I didn't think they were the same thing! Bullied me together! So I, so I decided to take revenge on them both!

  "I read a detective novel at the landlord's house, and there is a secret room with a skateboard to kill people, so I decided to follow the above."

   He Ma sneered: "You are so naive, modern criminal investigation has long been developed."

   "I wear gloves and don't leave fingerprints! And I often go in and out of the landlord's room, so I always leave fingerprints and hair!" Mr. Saijo said, "I've seen this technique in magazines. And magazines It said that even with a police dog, there is no way to smell the problem."

   and Ma were speechless: "What are these detective magazines doing?"

  "But I didn't expect to meet a police detective as witty as in a magazine." Xicheng looked at Kazuma, "You can see the magazine in my room just by looking at it. It's amazing."

   "I have sharp eyes." Kazuma shrugged.

  At this time ~IndoMTL.com~ the siren sounded from far to near, a police car stopped in front of the pachinko shop where Kazuma was located, and after a while, the police detective Iida rushed in and said to Kazuma: "Where the molds are discarded, Someone saw someone suspected of Xicheng, and the Metropolitan Police Department has issued an arrest warrant... eh?"

   and Ma: "He has pleaded guilty. However, it seems that I no longer need to force the palace."

  Xicheng looked shocked: "How could I be seen? I am obviously the least crowded in the morning..."

  "This is called Skynet being sparse and not leaking." He Ma patted Xicheng on the shoulder, "Go in and repent."

  Asano was speechless: "Wait a minute, the arrest warrant was issued because witnesses saw Xicheng, so what's our credit?"

   and Ma took out the tape recorder in their pocket: "Here it is. The whole process of my questioning is here."

  Ida Detective: "The Kiryu Police Department noticed the ice skating crime, and noticed the smell on the mold. It's already a great achievement. Saijo Saburo, I announce that you are arrested for murder! You can keep silent..."

  He Ma suddenly interrupted Jutian Detective Police and said loudly: "You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will become evidence in court. I am cursing, I just want to say this sentence, Just a police officer!"
