Chapter 208 176. Don’t move! (Ask for monthly ticket)
Hearing Hashimoto’s answer, Li Dian showed a relieved expression. He looked at the doctor in front of him with a smile.
"Sorry, Doctor Hashimoto, I was indeed a little too aggressive just now. Please forgive me if it offended me."
"...Since Officer Li Ming said so. , then it would not be a gentleman's behavior for me to continue to care about it." Although Dr. Hashimoto said these words. , but her behavior was just the opposite. She impatiently and perfunctorily made a "please" gesture, "The firefighter happens to be living in the hospital now. If you need it, I can take you to the ward at any time." . ”
“That’s troublesome.” Li Ming bowed slightly and said softly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you temporarily express that you don’t need to lead the way, it will be a lot more troublesome to see Miss Hashimoto again, and you may even hide yourself completely because of this. Even with the coercive power of the Metropolitan Police Department, Hashimoto will be Ben was even more disgusted and would not act cooperatively.
Although the Metropolitan Police Department can use force to convince Miss Hashimoto, the final result will definitely be based on clues rather than eliminating reaction.
Under the guidance of Miss Hashimoto, everyone came to the room where the firefighters were.
As soon as you opened the door, you could see a man with bandages on his arms and legs lying on the bed, surrounded by several people who looked like his colleagues.
Seeing the uninvited guest entering the room, the fellow firefighters stood up one after another and looked at the visitor with vigilance and doubt. After seeing Miss Hashimoto's figure, they gradually restrained their expressions. emotions.
"Doctor Hashimoto, may I ask what this is...?"
"Introduce yourself, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Li Ming." The young man stepped forward without waiting for Hashimoto to explain, with a self-satisfied expression on his face. He looked at the firefighters in front of him with a friendly smile, "Don't be nervous, the fire police department and the hospital are all the same. We are just here to learn about Miss Shirakawa who you rescued on the day of the Yamabaimeng fire incident."
When the firefighter saw this, he immediately showed a slight smile. He waved and asked the colleagues around him to take a few steps back. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to straighten his upper body.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Shota, a member of the fire brigade. I have long heard that my friends from the Metropolitan Police Department are extremely efficient in work and investigation. Today I saw that it is true. Do you have Feel free to ask any questions, I am very willing to cooperate. "
To be honest, if it weren't for his willingness to cooperate later, Li Ming would really think that he was being weird when he said that the Metropolitan Police Department was extremely efficient.
"If it's convenient, can you tell me how you were injured?"
Kujo Forensic Examiner has been looking at the firefighter's injuries since she entered the door. In her impression, the protection of firefighters The measures were the toughest, so why did he still fall and get injured...?
"It was just an accident that happened during a training yesterday. I was doing climbing training at that time, but the climbing protection rope broke unexpectedly." Shota recalled the past, and his expression naturally showed Fear, "Fortunately, I grabbed the lower window sill with my hand, and in the end I only broke a leg. Otherwise, I don't know what the consequences would be..."
"But I remember that the safety rope is Is it made of steel wire? Is there any wear and tear?" Forensic Doctor Kujo asked curiously.
"It is indeed made of steel wire. Preliminary investigation shows that the cause may be corrosion and breakage." said a colleague standing next to Shota.
"How can there be such a coincidence? It's all because he was too distracted recently, so he climbed up in a hurry without checking the safety rope, which led to the accident." Another tall and thin colleague hummed, "Shouta I've always been careless recently, so it's reasonable for such an accident to happen."
"That's what I said, but for Shota, is such a comment a bit too..." Just now. Bit wanted to speak but stopped.
"Too...?" Li Ming asked with a frown.
The man glanced at Shota, who was half lying on the bed behind him, and spread his hands: "Actually, the fire on No. 6 left a nightmare in his heart, causing him to be unconscious recently. This is normal. ”
Nightmare?
Did something unexpected really happen at the crime scene?
Li Ming's curiosity was aroused. He opened his notebook and wrote and drew on it while looking at the firefighter in front of him.
“Can you tell me more details?”
Shouta looked a little embarrassed, but still told about his experience of saving people that day.
“At around four o’clock in the afternoon on the 6th, after receiving the fire alarm call, my comrades and I rushed to the scene. The fire was very strong, and there were constant reports of fire in the villa. Explosion.”
"Based on the idea that there might be someone inside, I rushed into the villa first to take a look, but the doors and windows of the villa were tightly sealed at the moment. As a last resort, I could only use a fire ax to break open the door of the villa."
"In After entering the villa, I immediately spotted a figure at the door , that was Miss Shirakawa later, but when I picked up Miss Shirakawa and was about to rush out, Miss Shirakawa suddenly grabbed my cuff, raised her finger as hard as she could and pointed in the direction of the bathroom."
" Bathroom...?" Li Ming hesitated.
“When I looked in the direction that Miss Shirakawa pointed, I only found the wooden door of the bathroom playing, so I suspected that there was someone there, so I placed Miss Shirakawa outside the villa. , and rushed back into the villa to go to the bathroom. "However... when I opened the bathroom door, I found a black figure rushing towards me. The black figure rushed out of the door very quickly. "Xiang. Tai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some lingering fear.
Dark shadow?
Is there another person in the bathroom?
Looking at Xiang Tai’s appearance, it didn’t seem like he was making it up. Li Ming paused and looked thoughtful.
"What about the black shadow?" Sakurako asked.
"Wherever there was any shadow, we stayed at the door and didn't see anything." Shota's colleague replied.
"According to what he said before, the black shadow can be more than one meter long. If this can slip from under our noses, then it is probably unless we are blind."
As for his colleagues, Shota does not He smiled happily, even for himself, he was now more inclined to regard that encounter as an illusion.
But... is it really an illusion?
The current situation is that all clues must be collected. Even if it is a ridiculous statement, it has been said and still has a certain value for consideration.
After thanking the firefighter and his colleagues who were lying on the hospital bed, Forensic Doctor Kujo and Li Ming left the hospital with the others.
...
Things are scattered.
What role did Sato Masaharu play in this case, who once again entered the police's sight?
Is the dark shadow in firefighter Shota’s eyes real or illusory?
Everything seems to have slowly begun to emerge from the fog. At noon on the 9th, after announcing that Sato Masaharu's whereabouts were being tracked, at 2 p.m., Li Mo learned from other departments of the Metropolitan Police Department that Sato Masaharu had left the Times on the morning of the 8th.
Sato purchased a train ticket to Chiba at 10 a.m. that day and arrived in Chiba City at noon that day.
Chiba...
Is this a coincidence? ?
Or... is it a script written in advance?
According to a tip, someone once saw a person who looked the same as Sato Masaharu in a hotel in Chiba City. It is basically certain that it is Sato Masaharu.
Li Dang discussed with Minamoto Seitama, Kurosawa Mitaka and others for a while, and finally decided to go to Chiba City immediately to arrest Sato Masaharu.
After receiving the news, everyone immediately bought tickets to Chiba City. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the hotel provided in the tip.
"Interesting results, what do you think?" Yuan Qingyu said lightly, "I didn't expect that I could travel across the area in my dream and return to Chiba City where we have always been. It can be seen that there should be What secrets are buried that haven’t been discovered yet? "
"The clues we have now are still scattered. Although I can always feel that there is a hidden thread connecting these clues, what I can't do is connect them in series. Get up and deduce the real facts of the case.”
Li Ming rubbed the acupuncture point on the bridge of his nose, looking like he had a headache.
"So our task now is to catch Sato Masaharu as soon as possible. There must be enough secrets buried in him."
By staying waiting, everyone arrived at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 9th On the left and right, I saw a slender man wearing casual clothes appearing near the hotel. After checking Kurosawa Mika's identification, I found that this man was Sato.
Li Dang opened the car door without hesitation and walked towards the man, while Sato was also looking around, and soon found someone getting out of the car and rushing toward him. Sato immediately turned around and headed towards the opposite side. direction to escape.
“Don’t move!”
Li Ming roared angrily, and took out the pistol that had been with him for a short time from his waist. It was given to him by the Kujo forensic doctor before. After pulling the bolt, he pulled the trigger hard.
The bullet burst out from the barrel, sending a heat wave straight into the sky.
Sato was also frightened by the noise. He squatted on the spot and gave up resistance.
"Mr. Sato's room in the hotel in Chiba City has been searched. Through this search, only some changes of clothes and a huge amount of unidentified cash were found." Minamoto Seitama left the hotel. Come out, he solemnly reminded, and said to the young man in front of him.
“The huge amount of cash, tell me where it came from, and why you ran away when you saw us coming. Is there any secret buried there?”
When asked about the source of the huge amount of cash, Sato could not tell anything.
After the arrest was completed, everyone took Sato Masaharu back to time overnight. At around ten o'clock in the evening, the interrogation began.
"This must be the first time we have met, Mr. Sato Masaharu." Li Ming turned his pen and chuckled, "I don't think our Metropolitan Police Department feels sorry for you. I'm a little curious why you want to What about absconding?”
“Just want to go out for a walk. It’s just my heart. Because of the death of my teacher Yamashiro Meng, I am a little confused about my future. Is this normal? At least it is human nature, right? "
Sato is arrogant? He looked stern, but his arrogance still calmed down, at least in front of Li Ming.
"Mr. Sato, I think we are here to interrogate you this time with sufficient sincerity. I sincerely hope that you will not betray our trust and tell all the true circumstances. We will naturally weigh whether to If you blindly cover up the truth, even if it is not you who did it, we will still punish you for disrupting public security."
Li Dang played with his hands. pen, smiling with interest.
“I think Mr. Sato is still young now and has a lot of time to devote to scientific research. In addition, you also have a reputation with Mr. Naoki Kurosawa. I think if this incident hadn’t been If so, you should have a bright future and a bright future.”
“Can’t we be honest with each other? Meeting... This is something I still don't want to see, and it is something I absolutely hate."
"I...I came here because of the teacher's instructions from President Naoki Kurosawa. The chemical plant just took away the needed medicines." Sato weighed the pros and cons and added with a sigh, "At the time of the incident."
"After I delivered the medicine to Mr. Shanbai Meng's family, I proposed to him that I wanted to help him complete the experiment, but Mr. Shanbai still refused sternly, so this made me a little depressed. "
"What I said is true. You can investigate at any time. I will never tell a lie in front of you. "
"Anyone can talk nonsense." Li Ming snorted coldly, "So Mr. Sato Masaharu must analyze all the details and tell us. Before the clues to the case are provided, we will still treat your promise as ...The meaning of the joke.”
Li Ming thought of the information about barbecue that he had seen in some materials before, which made him a little overwhelmed.
In fact, from the beginning, Sato Masaharu entered Yamashiro Yume’s disciples because of his high productivity in scientific research. However, Yamashiro Yume never allowed him to participate in truly important experiments.
Therefore, even after working under Yamashiro Yume for five or six years, Sato still had no academic achievements.
It is impossible to say that Sato does not have any resentment about this, but these resentments are far from the level of murder to vent his anger.
——Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.
“So when I learned about Mr. Yamashiro Yume’s death, I still felt like a bolt from the blue.” Sato lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, “President Ueki Kurosawa is here. After learning about Mr. Shanbai's death, I immediately called him to inquire. But after I was so depressed, I was comforted and told me that I could take on some scientific research work based on my previous work.”
In confusion, Sato Masaharu came to Shangying University. Yamashiro Yume ran into Shirai Kuranosuke in his office.
