How long does it take for prisoner X to get from the beach where the crime occurred to Kanazawa Station? This answer will not be correct until you know what kind of transportation to use; but if you take a chartered car, it will take three to forty minutes. Extrapolating from this, if you want to catch the express train that leaves at eight o'clock, you must leave the scene between seven ten and seven thirty.
Therefore, the time when the crime was committed was at 7:30 pm on the 8th or earlier.
On the other hand, according to the forensic opinion, the time of the murder was between seven o'clock and ten o'clock. If we also refer to the medical examiner's opinion, the time when He Chun was killed was between 7:00 and 7:30 that night.
The detectives were divided into four teams and carried out an investigation in Kanazawa City with photos of the pistol enlarged to life size.
This investigation continued for about a week, and the scenery in Kanazawa City was also full of autumn. The detective who originally had cold buckwheat noodles for lunch began to order warm buckwheat soup noodles.
At the meeting held on the evening of Wednesday the 28th, the conclusion was reached that nothing could be gained in this regard. Everyone here was dominated by a dull atmosphere from the beginning. The criminal police officer who reported the report could clearly see that he was tired from the past few days.
"First of all, the motive. We have to first study why the prisoner killed He Chun. Maybe it was robbery and murder, or maybe he was planning to kill by pretending to be a robber. Because he took the handbag away, maybe he wanted to pretend to be robbery and murder. Do you hate He Chun? Where is Chun, or the people who are jealous of her? Or the people who can benefit from this woman's death? We must go back to Nanguang City and investigate the people around her."
Tian Chunda's plan was to first visit the hospital where the victim worked, meet with Dean Xiao Long, and listen to him talk about He Chun.
As soon as Xiao Long saw Tian Chunda, he asked eagerly: "Officer Tian, have you arrested the prisoner?"
Tian Chunda shook his head with some regret and said: "Not yet, we are currently investigating." Then he quickly stated the purpose of his trip.
"I can't thank you enough for your hard work in the investigation. If there is anything I can do for you, just ask..." the doctor said politely.
"We want to know if there is anyone who benefited from He Chun's murder."
"The person who benefits, well... as far as I know she is just a nurse who works in the hospital and doesn't have much property... Well, I can't think of anyone who will benefit from her death."
"Have you ever thought of any other motives? For example, killing someone out of jealousy..."
Then the doctor's slender and delicate eyes suddenly moved.
"Have you thought of anything?"
"No, it's nothing." Dr. Xiao Long seemed to regret that his expression had been seen, and he shook his head hastily.
"I came all the way from Kanazawa to Nanguang to understand the situation. I hope you can tell the truth about the situation to help solve the case." Tian Chunda saw that there was something going on in the doctor's mind, so he clicked on him.
"What came to my mind was just unfounded and like fantasy, so I felt there was no need to speak out."
"It doesn't matter, just tell me."
The police officer held on tenaciously.
"Since you said so, let me say it. My relationship with He Chun will probably trigger a whirlpool of envy or jealousy among He Chun's colleagues. Although I am a bit pretentious when I say this, our nurse Many of them are from rural areas in the countryside, and all of them come to the city because they want to marry people in the city. However, even if they work in the city, it is not easy to find a good partner. I think He Chun, as their colleague, can be with me Falling in love should be something that makes them feel very envious. It may also cause strong jealousy."
"I understand this feeling."
"However, if a nurse killed He Chun out of jealousy, it would be impossible for him to replace He Chun and take Mrs. Xiao Long's seat. So I don't think this is enough to form a motive."
The doctor added: "Nurses are so busy at work. Therefore, it is impossible to follow the time of the killings in Kanazawa, and in fact there are no nurses who took leave. Regarding this, just ask the doctors who work with me to know."
"Please be sure to ask. By the way, there is one more thing. This is different from the current issue of jealousy. Does anyone hate the victim?" Tian Chunda asked again.
Facing Tian Chunda's question, Xiao Long showed an expression between uneasiness and panic for the first time, and couldn't help but lean his upper body on the back of the chair.
"You seem to have some clues."
"Yeah, well, I'd be lying if I said no. Regarding your question, there are only two people."
"There are two people, right?"
"Yes. Before, I thought that He Chun was killed by bandits, so I didn't even think about it."
While talking, the doctor showed hesitation again, whether to say it or not.
"Come on, please speak."
Tian Chunda opened his notepad and urged the doctor in a slightly serious voice. The doctor raised his head and sighed.
"One is a woman, she is my ex-fiancée."
"Yes. Please continue."
"I was a sponsoring member of an orchestra, and the woman was also a member, so we often had the opportunity to meet at concerts, and this gradually developed into a relationship. Not long after half a year, we got engaged, but there was a We don’t know the man, let’s call him A for the time being. This A called me and told me that she had had a relationship with another man B before. To be honest, I also had the experience of getting married once and getting divorced due to some reasons. I have been living a single life since then. So although this is not my first marriage, I really hope that my second wife will be an inexperienced woman. This is a very selfish idea, and there is no reason to tell such a thing to the detective, but it is my fault. Conditions for remarriage. I hate taking other people’s old things, so I’ll exempt them from second-hand items. That’s what I thought. Of course, I made this condition clear to this woman at the beginning, and she swore that she was not an old person. Yes, so we got engaged. Because there was such a slanderous phone call at this time, I couldn't calm down. I immediately called her over to ask."
The doctor gradually became excited as he spoke. This story seemed to last a long time. The detective put his feet up, looked away from the notepad and looked into the other person's eyes.
"At that time, I also believed the woman's claim that she was white. However, about three weeks later, Man A called again. And he said to me: 'You are still dating that woman. It seems that you don’t believe what I said. Then let me give you evidence to prove that I am definitely not talking nonsense. I will tell you B’s name and address. You may want to go to meet him or call him. , it’s better to confirm clearly...’ Although I didn’t believe A’s slander, I still asked him for the phone number. After hesitating for about an hour, I finally made the call.”
"Um."
"B initially pretended that he didn't know anything, but after I pushed hard to get to the bottom of it, he finally told me the truth. The two of them had stayed in a hotel somewhere three times."
"oh."
"I have a very honest personality, but I will get angry when I know I have been cheated. After hearing this, I immediately wrote a letter to the woman, annulling the engagement and breaking off the relationship with her. But the other woman seemed to still be attached to her and wrote several letters. Give it to me, I haven’t even replied. Mr. Officer, have you ever had the experience of being betrayed by someone you have always trusted, and feeling remorseful or lonely?”
"Unfortunately, I haven't encountered it before." Tian Chunda answered him immediately.
The doctor continued: "The person who encouraged and inspired me at this time was He Chun, the nurse living in the hospital. Although she said this, she did not encourage me with direct words or actions. How should I put it? If the lighting in the room has If we compare direct lighting and indirect lighting, she is like indirect lighting. Although it is a bit spineless to say this, but thanks to He Chun, I was able to fully recover. Because of this relationship, between He Chun and I, I don’t know who came from. We began to feel love for each other. Looking back again, I found that she has a stable character. She learned to drive when I didn't know it. She has a very positive side and an unexpectedly tender emotion. And she cooks delicious food too. The handwriting of the letter is beautiful. I should have discovered such a wonderful woman earlier, even I find it incredible."
