Chapter 3 003. Fingerprints
"Is Mr. Li Ming here? We are from the Chiba Prefecture Police Department. We have some questions about Mr. Taketa Mashiba and we would like to discuss them with you."
Inside the room, Jiang Wenkan and Li Dang were interrupted by the sudden sound, and they looked at each other in unison.
"Police?"
"Mashiba Taketa?"
"Wait, this name is a bit familiar."
Li Meng was startled for a moment, then his expression changed, he made a "shush" gesture to Jiang Wenkan and walked towards the door.
Lifting up the curtain that was used to cover the glass on the door, I saw several uniformed policemen standing outside the office door.
The leader was holding his hands and waiting for something, while the person next to him attracted most of Li Dang's attention. Although it was almost impossible to see what he was holding in his hand through the glass, Li Dang There was an item that overlapped with that thing in Mon's memory.
Yes. That touch of blue.
Curiosity emerged, and Li Ming's chest was pounding. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Mr. Li Dang, please be sure to open the door, otherwise we will take extraordinary measures."
Outside the door, the two policemen were obviously impatient. The only way to negotiate with the outside world was through From the window, you can see the somewhat unhappy expressions on their faces.
But Li Dang noticed a detail. Although the man in police uniform next to him could see the same impatient emotion on his face, why did his face feel so stiff?
When the door handle was turned, the sun shone in all-pervasively, and Li Ming subconsciously took a step back.
"Tsk, it's so slow."
The leading police officer did not notice Li Dang's little movement. He muttered impatiently, took out his ID from his pocket and signaled to the young man in front of him.
"I am Saito Munebayashi from the Chiba Prefecture Police District. I am here mainly to ask for some information about Mr. Taketa Mashiba. It is considered a visit. Please don't worry."
"Excuse me, what's wrong with Mr. Taketa Mashiba?" Li Ming pursed his lips, turned around and pulled out a piece of white paper again. After writing on it, he showed it to the man who was staring at him with sharp eyes. Saito.
"You?" Saito had obviously never encountered such an emergency before. He frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
"Ah, it's like this, Officer Saito. This friend of mine had a car accident when he was a child and lost his language function, so he can only communicate by writing on white paper."
Seeing inside the office There was another person, the person next to Saito raised his eyebrows, but continued to follow Saito without speaking or making any movement.
"Ah, I'm sorry, you were startled by my sudden words. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Wenkan. Like Mr. Li Ming, I am a Japanese temporary resident from China."
< br>Jiang Wenkan smiled slightly, perhaps because he was born with the talent to liven up the atmosphere, so he was still able to smile in this almost stagnant air.
"Then, what happened to Mr. Taketa Mashiba? It would make two police officers come to visit in such a big way." Jiang Wenkan held his chin in one hand and asked curiously, "I didn't If I remember correctly, this gentleman is an employee of a nearby printing company.”
"Yes, we received a report yesterday. His wife said that Mr. Taketa Mashiba has not come home from the company for three days. We suspect that Mr. Mashiba is missing." Saito nodded and informed the two of them of his intention.
"Missing? It's really unfortunate. Many people seem to have disappeared recently."
Jiang Wenkan's tone was frivolous and he blinked: "Then, has Officer Saito gone? Where is his company checking? It’s normal for a man of Mr. Mashiba’s age to spend the night outside or go to a custom shop to have fun.”
“Tsk.” Saito smacked his lips.
“This gentleman’s words are very interesting.” The man who had been silent snorted, “We just came to visit Mr. Mashiba’s company after we finished. If we find anything, we will come to you. ”
"So what did you find?" Jiang Wenkan grinned.
Li Ming on the side couldn't help but sweat for his friend. He knew that the atmosphere was already breathless, but he was still so heartless. He didn't feel that the man was aggressive towards you. ?
But regarding Jiang Wenkan's evaluation of Zhenchai, Li Deng was not surprised, because Jiang was originally an informant who specially collected intelligence for him?
Before going to a place, he will definitely investigate all the people and events around the place. Furthermore, because of his special profession, there are many ways to obtain information.
"The people in the company said that he has not come to work for three days. This is the same as his wife's statement, and the two timelines basically overlap." The man paused here and glanced at the man who was working. Saito, who was holding his hands and humming softly, continued.
"However, according to colleagues in the company, the last time he saw Mr. Mashiba was around 9 pm four days ago. At that time, he was resting with friends in the cafe opposite the company. The eyewitness testimony was that he saw Mr. Mashiba heading toward the company. "The police officer whose name I don't know, you have already found such a clear route. The truth is ahead, my friend." He lifted the bangs on his forehead and spoke in a playful tone.
"It is indeed the truth."
The man snorted and raised the sealed bag that he had been holding tightly in his hand. What was inside was exactly what Li Ming had found in the almost real wooden house. Got that work badge.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Li Ming and Mr. Jiang Wenkan, the scientific search and research team found Mr. Li Ming's fingerprints on this work plate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly became stagnant.
Li Dang's expression changed slightly, but the habit he had developed over a long period of time kept him from changing his expression.
"Fingerprints."
"Could it be that it was from that time"
After hearing the news, Li Ming's brain started to work rapidly, and he became slightly restless. Faintly appeared in his eyes.
"Then, Mr. Li Ming, can you explain why your fingerprints can be found on Mr. Mashiba's work badge?" The man continued to ask in pursuit of victory.
Jiang Wenkan suddenly laughed at this time, disturbing the frozen and cold air. Everyone looked sideways, and their eyes were focused on him.
"Mr. Police Officer, you should have seen it outside. My friend runs a detective agency. As a private detective, it is understandable that he can contact Mr. Mashiba."
< br>The young man made an exaggerated expression, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on his face.
"My suggestion is that you should ask Mr. Mashiba's wife if she has done anything bad behind Mr. Mashiba's back~" Jiang Wenkan adjusted his glasses.
"Mr. Police Officer, what you need to know is that the minds of creatures who claim to be at the top of nature's food chain are the most complicated~"
Some people think that this book has two male protagonists. To clarify, it is not. Also, is the character dialogue description in this chapter a little better?
