Masago Yoshimoto and Colonel Shimizu looked expectantly at Kawasaki, the criminal investigation expert of the Japanese Concession Police Department. They both hoped that Kawasaki could find the murderer of Jiro Nishizono.
The cleaner was killed and 8 suspects were circled. If the murderer of Jiro Nishizono who was killed in the Special High School was also found, the probability of finding the film would be greatly increased.
Kawasaki looked at the two people with expectant faces and shook his head and said: "Two sirs, the way of death of the cleaner and Nishizono-kun was different. He was strangled and suffocated by breaking his collarbone. If nothing else, he should have been killed by a professional killer." Because, of course, it is more likely to be a highly trained agent, which ordinary people simply cannot do."
"Can you determine the approximate height and weight of the murderer?" Masago Yoshimoto asked with a frown.
Kawasaki smiled bitterly: "Sir, first of all, we can rule out women. They have limited arm strength and are unable to fight Nishizono-kun in close combat. In addition, the murderer must be someone from the 3rd or 4th floor. It is also possible that there are several rooms on the 2nd floor near the stairwell. Sorry sir, that’s all.”
"Are you sure women can be excluded?" Colonel Qingshui asked a little eagerly from the side.
"This...?" Kawasaki paused, frowned and replied: "Of course it is possible for a woman, but it must be someone who has gone through several years of professional training. I have seen the palms and arms of all the women in the hotel, except Xu Ping. , it’s impossible for others, but isn’t Xu Ping from our Empire of Japan?”
"What about those who are loyal to the Japanese Empire? I can't find the film today. The next person to be tortured is that woman Xu Ping." Colonel Shimizu replied coldly with a gloomy face.
He had already made a calculation in his mind. The Manchurian Railway Investigation Department was powerful in the Northeast and could call the shots, but it could not control the Mei Agency, which had great power in Central China. Besides, Xu Ping herself was full of suspicions. If she could not find the film, he would operate on her. Who could Nothing could stop him from searching for the whereabouts of the film.
…
"Thank you, Araki-kun." Liu Changchuan wandered to the torture room next to Masako Minamizo and greeted Araki Kyouyuki with a smile.
"Liu Sang, you have a lot of free time." Araki asked Liu Changchuan to sit down next to him.
"I don't have time. A few of my men and I were searching the room of American Dylan Hensley, but we found nothing." Liu Changchuan replied helplessly as he took the cigarette Araki handed him.
"The American's suspicion is very low. News came from the consulate just now. The man named Dylan Hensley and his wife are coming to Shanghai to do business. They are planning to sell a batch of telephones. The background is very clean." Araki threw away the cigarette butt and gave it to himself Pour a cup of tea.
"Then there are seven people left."
"We can't even talk about 7 people. We only screened four people in the special class, especially Yaroslav. Looking at the crazy words and timidity, Miss Masako said that they were all pretending, and there must be something hidden in his heart. "Araki sneered.
He believed in Minami Masako very much, even worshiped her. Yaroslav wanted to use little tricks to get through... How could it be possible?
Liu Changchuan sighed inwardly. The difference between Xiao Zhe Zhengji and Minami Masako was really big. One thought Yaroslav was an ordinary person and a waste, but Minami Masako was just the opposite. She shrewdly saw through Yaroslav's acting.
But Liu Changchuan is not worried that Yaroslav will confess immediately. This matter clearly shows that he is just a suspect. The Japanese have no evidence. If he does not confess, he still has a chance to survive. If he confesses, he will not only die without a burial place, but the Japanese will definitely be deeply hurt. If you keep digging, you will be severely punished, so why confess?
Liu Changchuan stayed in the interrogation room for more than an hour, and he learned about them one by one, whether they were the suspects who were interrogated by Xiaozhe Zhengji or the prisoners who were tortured by Masako Minamizo.
In his opinion, four of them were suspects, but they were just suspicions. Almost all of them said that they were unjustly accused. No one knew whether they were human or ghost until they confessed, including Yaroslav, who was the first suspect in his mind. .
On the fourth floor, in Dylan Hensley's room.
What Liu Changchuan saw after he came back almost made him angry. His original intention was for Mieko and Kogoro to persuade Hashimoto to do a small experiment and hide things in the room.
But these guys were lucky enough to get drunk in the room after he left. Hashimoto Shi and Kogoro were lucky enough to drink, but Mieko was obviously drunk and acting crazy.
My God, these guys are really carefree.
"Team leader, you are back." Kogoro touched his head a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you two remember what I said. In case someone outside sees Mieko drunk and says that she was very serious at work and accidentally drank a bottle of wine because she was thirsty, do you understand?" Liu Changchuan called Hashimoto Shi to his side. , warned the two of them.
"I understand, team leader." Kogoro agreed hastily.
He also knew that a few of them were a little too much, and all the departments were frantically looking for film, but it was unjust for them to hide in the room and drink heavily. If the section chief knew that the reprimand was a trivial matter, he would not be fined and would be expelled. It's possible.
"Hey, handsome boy, let me give you a hug." Miezi flew up and rushed towards Liu Changchuan. Liu Changchuan covered his nose. How much horse urine had he drank?
"Hashimoto, Kogoro, you two quickly take Mieko to the bathroom and let her sober up." Liu Changchuan pushed Mieko aside in disgust. The smell of alcohol was unpleasant.
The two of them washed Mieko's face, threw her on the bed in the bedroom, and returned to the living room with guilty looks on their faces.
Liu Changchuan stood up helplessly and closed the door. He didn't want his subordinates to make mistakes that would implicate him. No matter how many of them were members of the investigation team, he had the obligation to take care of them. If you don't take the blame for the mistakes of your subordinates, who will take the blame? Should Mieko be allowed to do so? How is it possible to take the blame?
"Hashimoto, have you completed the task I assigned you?" Liu Changchuan asked after taking a sip of water.
"What mission?" Hashimoto looked confused.
"Let you hide things and do experiments." Kogoro whispered from the side.
"Oh, you said that, this is not just drinking, forget it." Hashimoto replied with a serious face.
Liu Changchuan glanced at Hashimoto Shi and did not urge him to hide anything in the room for experiments. This guy was obviously thirsty for wine and was not in the best condition. It was useless to ask him to do experiments. It was just a waste of time.
I really want to beat you up.
Liu Changchuan asked the two of them to close the door tightly and pretend to search the room, stay in the room, and warned them very tactfully not to provoke Miezi who was sleeping in the bedroom. If you have a background, you can't control it. If you take advantage, you may die. .
Kogoro and Hashimoto nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Kogoro even glared at Hashimoto fiercely. That means I'm watching you. Don't get into trouble, or see how I deal with you, you bastard. .
