Chapter 71 Aoyama Hidenobu: Look at you, you are anxious again Seeing Aoyama Hidenobu answering the phone, Sakai Ryosai, who had taken the initiative to go to the scene with him, walked towards the elevator first. "Watanabe-kun, what happened?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked as he walked out. Before he could answer, he said, "I still have work to do. Why don't we talk about it in detail when we meet?" He didn't expect that Watanabe Shusuke would come to him for help so soon. It seems that the 100 million financial bonds he just sent will be returned soon! Money is indeed circulating. "Mr. Aoyama, can't we see each other now?" Watanabe Osamu sounded a little anxious, and his breathing was a little rapid. Aoyama Hidenobu said calmly, "Watanabe-kun, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry. Just tell me the address and I will come over after I finish the work." He felt that Watanabe was simply panicking, but the situation was not urgent enough to require an immediate meeting to discuss. Otherwise Watanabe would have come to see him on his own initiative. "But Aoyama-kun..." "Look at you, you're anxious again." Aoyama Hidenobu interrupted him and said in a serious tone: "Watanabe-kun, calm down. Is the situation really that serious?"
"..." Watanabe Shu was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said in a slightly awkward tone: "I'm sorry, Aoyama-kun, I lost my composure when I encountered such a thing for the first time. I'll wait for you in the office. Please come as soon as you are done with your work." "Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu hung up the phone and quickened his pace towards the elevator, but Sakai Ryosai was already standing there and held the elevator door for him with his hand. Aoyama Hidenobu glanced at him before entering the elevator. Ryosai Sakai withdrew his hand and followed closely. "What's your relationship with the president of Sakai Electronics Co., Ltd." Aoyama Hidenobu asked indifferently. He felt that there was some similarity between their brows. Sakai Ryosai bowed solemnly, and then replied respectfully: "It is my father. Thank you for your help, Chief Inspector, who saved my father's life's work. From now on, Ryosai will follow your lead!" Aoyama Hidenobu suddenly realized. No wonder he could feel that this guy was closer to him than other subordinates in the department whom he met for the first time. But he just nodded and didn't say much. Ryosai Sakai was ready to answer some of Aoyama Hidenori's questions about the department, but he didn't expect the other party to not even mention it, so he could only remain silent. The elevator slowly descended in silence between the two. The murderer searched the first department office. With the departure of Aoyama Hidenobu, the dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads finally dissipated, and everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. "Heiji-san, are you okay?" Takizawa Mapura walked up to Jincheng Heiji and asked with concern. Everyone looked over, but this time was different from the past. They just stared and didn't gather around to show concern. Because they all realized that Aoyama Hidenobu was a domineering and powerful boss who would not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, so even if everyone disliked him in their hearts, they must not offend him on the surface. Therefore, they can stand with Kaneshiro Heiji ideologically and secretly support him in challenging Aoyama Hidenobu's authority, but they will not approach him openly. Jincheng Heiji naturally noticed this subtle change and became even more annoyed, but he could only curse inwardly: A bunch of fence-sitters who change with the wind! He was unhappy with these old colleagues in his heart, but just like these old colleagues felt unhappy with Aoyama Hidenobu, he could not show it. At least he had to understand them on the surface. Because he needs the support of this group of people. "Thank you for your concern, Mapo-san. I won't be defeated like this." Jincheng Heiji adjusted his mood and forced a smile. He looked around and said meaningfully, "Inspector Aoyama is very domineering. You must be very careful when working under him in the future, otherwise the result may not be very pleasant."
The reason why he was so upset was that he misjudged Aoyama Hidenobu's reaction based on his age. Every failure makes you wiser. But he didn't lose completely. At least he was sure that other colleagues didn't like Aoyama Hidenobu now. On his first day at work, Hidenobu Aoyama put himself in opposition to all his colleagues. With a group of colleagues who are dissatisfied with Aoyama Hidenobu and the support of Inspector Tsukasa Hattori, Kaneshiro Heiji feels that he still has the confidence to continue fighting against the other party! Aoyama Hidenobu didn't know about the reaction in the office after he left, nor did he care. He took Sakai Ryosai and rushed to the crime scene as quickly as possible. There were police cars parked downstairs of the apartment building, a cordon was set up, and uniformed police officers were maintaining order. "Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division." "Search Section 1." Ryosai Sakai walked in front with his ID card to clear the way for Aoyama Hidenobu, allowing him to have a smooth journey. A cordon was also set up outside the room where the crime occurred. There were two policemen on duty at the door. After saluting, the two handed Aoyama Hidenobu a pair of shoe covers and gloves, and then raised the cordon for him. After putting on shoe covers and gloves, Aoyama Hidenobu and Sakai Ryosai bent down and passed through the cordon. Inside the room, several plainclothes detectives were conducting on-site investigations. And Aoyama Hidenobu found out that they were familiar faces. It was the Second Aircraft Search Team 204, who had met him once before at the scene of the murder of Jiro Noguchi. "Detective Aoyama, nice to meet you again." When the captain of the 204th team, Watanabe Toshikazu, turned around and saw Aoyama Hidenobu, he felt it was a coincidence and saluted with a smile. "What a coincidence, it's you, Captain Watanabe, who arrived at the scene first." Aoyama Hidenobu returned the greeting and asked while looking at the crime scene, "What's going on?" The living room was relatively tidy, but there were bloodstains on the floor. Moreover, the bloodstains were formed by dragging, and the traces extended from a location near the entrance to a bedroom. "Detective Aoyama, please follow me." Watanabe Toshikazu took Aoyama Hidenobu into the bedroom. There was a female corpse in a nightgown lying on the floor. Her neck was chopped into a bloody mess and her head was almost falling off. Her pale lips were slightly open and her eyes were wide open. There was a large pool of blood around the body and the smell was pungent. Looking at the woman's miserable death, Aoyama Hidenobu couldn't help but frown. The murderer was about to chop off her head. What the hell is this hatred and grudge! Suddenly, his face changed slightly. Isn't this the woman who spent the night with Watanabe Shusuke the night before? Aoyama Hidenobu could no longer remember the woman's face. But I still remember the woman's breasts. At that time, the guy Watanabe Shusuke stripped her skirt in the private room. He remembered that there was a big mole on her chest, and the female corpse also had that mole on her chest. Damn, could it be that Watanabe Shusuke just called him for help, and what he wanted to talk about was related to this case? Aoyama Hidenobu's expression couldn't help but become solemn. Watanabe Toshikazu did not notice the change in Aoyama Hidenobu's expression, and began to introduce the results of their on-site investigation. "According to the insurance certificate found in the room, the deceased is Mikami Masako, 20 years old, from Yamanashi Prefecture. She had multiple wounds on her body, the fatal wound was on her neck, and she had been dead for more than 24 hours. The kitchen knife was missing, so it is speculated that she was killed with the kitchen knife, and the murderer took the murder weapon away from the scene after killing her." There are no ID cards in Japan, so people generally rely on their National Health Insurance Card or driver's license to prove their identity. "The entire neck was almost completely chopped off, and the wound was not neat, so the murderer must have been a first-time murderer with no relevant experience. In addition, using a kitchen knife to kill someone indicated that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Judging from the bloodstains, the deceased had tried to escape, but was forcibly dragged into the bedroom by the murderer, perhaps for better soundproofing?" "The cabinet was turned over and the victim's wallet was empty. The murderer must have killed for money, or at least he was not well off. From the fact that there were no signs of a fight in the living room or the entrance, it seems that the murderer may have known the victim." "There are traces of blood and skin flakes between the fingers of the deceased. They should have been left by the murderer. I suggest that someone from the Forensic Science Department come and extract them and send them to the Research Institute for analysis."
Scientific Investigation Institute is the abbreviation of the institute, and its full name is Scientific Investigation Institute, which is affiliated to the Metropolitan Police Department. Technical departments such as the Forensic Medicine Division and the Chemistry Division are all under the Scientific Investigation Institute. DNA technology has long been used to solve crimes. It's just not as mature as it would be decades later. In addition, the public does not undergo comprehensive DNA collection and registration these days, so after the results come out, they cannot be directly compared with the database. The suspects have to be brought back one by one for technical testing. Just like the Hwaseong serial murders in South Korea, in order to catch the murderer through DNA, samples of tens of millions of people were collected and compared. However, the murderer slipped through the net because he had been in prison. Watanabe Toshikazu continued to narrate, "All the people living in the apartment are office workers. Because the crime happened during work hours, the neighbor was not at home. The person who called the police was the deceased's colleague. Because the deceased had been missing for a day, she went to the house to look for him. She smelled blood inside and called the police. When she opened the door and saw the body, she fainted. The body had already been sent to the hospital. I haven't had time to check the apartment's surveillance. If you come, go get it yourself." "Okay, thank you for your hard work, leave this to us." Aoyama Hidenobu took off his gloves and stretched out his hand. Watanabe Toshikazu also took off his gloves and shook hands with Aoyama Hidenobu, "This is our job." Team 204 evacuated the scene and continued patrolling. The machine search team is often the first to arrive at the scene among all departments, and is also the first to leave the scene, which seems to be a bit like leaving without saying goodbye, hiding one's achievements and fame. "Sakai, I'll leave this to you. If you can't handle it, call two more people. I'll be leaving for a while." Aoyama Hidenobu was now in a hurry to meet Watanabe Shusuke. Sakai Ryosai immediately responded, “Hi!” Hidenobu Aoyama walked out of the room where the crime occurred, took off his gloves and shoe covers and threw them into the trash can nearby, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and went straight to Akasaka Police Station. I arrived at Watanabe's office and pushed the door open. "Mr. Aoyama, you're so fast?" Watanabe Shusuke raised his head and asked in surprise when he heard the voice. Aoyama Hidenobu closed the door, looked at Watanabe Shusuke, and replied calmly: "Watanabe-kun, you were talking so urgently on the phone, can't I come here quickly? Tell me, what happened?" "Oh, it's a bit embarrassing to say this." Watanabe Shusuke sighed, his face slightly embarrassed, he took out a few photos from the drawer of his desk, walked over and handed them to Aoyama Hidenori, "Aoyama-kun, please take a look." Aoyama Hidenobu took it and saw that it contained a picture of Watanabe Shusuke having sex with a woman naked. "Watanabe-kun, don't judge a book by its cover. I didn't realize you're such a petty person." Aoyama Hidenobu raised his head and glanced at Watanabe Shusuke and teased. "Baka! That's not the point!" Watanabe Shusuke moved away from Aoyama Hidenobu's sight somewhat embarrassedly, sat down next to him, rubbed his face and said with gritted teeth: "That busty bitch stole me a few nights ago, and now she's blackmailing me. If I don't pay, she'll send the photos to my house and to the newspaper office." Aoyama Hidenobu's face changed, and he lowered his head to look at the photo in his hand again. Judging from the person's breasts, wasn't that woman the corpse at the crime scene just now? "Sure enough, Qingshan-kun also thinks this matter is very troublesome." Seeing his expression change, Watanabe Shu sighed, "I'm not afraid of giving her some money, but I'm afraid that it will fatten her appetite and make her even more greedy..." "When did you receive the photos?" Aoyama Hidenobu interrupted him and asked solemnly. (End of this chapter)
