Chapter 199 Zai: Contracting the detective business in the United States

The efficiency of the FBI was quite good and they successfully arrested the fugitive Mr. Mike who was trying to defraud his bail.

The motivation behind the technique is exactly the same as Tsushima Shuji's.

As a result, Tsushima Shuji became a special detective of the New York Police Department.

Well, the reason is also indispensable because of Haruhiko Oba.

but……

Shuji Tsushima: Mainly because I’m so good?

And here in the United States, there are too few detectives.

Unlike Neon, where high school detectives are everywhere, there are as many private detectives as there are dogs.

But even New York has simple folk customs.

The case incidence rate is not as high as Neon.

Perhaps it should be said that there are not as many cases where detectives are needed.

The murders here are extremely simple. They are killed in public and on the street. There is no need for detectives to dig through the crowd to find the murderer.

And Neon's murderer will try his best to use all means to cover up his crime.

Therefore, there are not many times when the United States needs Shuji Tsushima to solve crimes.

Shuji Tsushima: No wonder there aren’t many detectives in the United States.

Just the brain circuits of these murderers...

There's no need for a detective at all.

Then early this morning, he received a call from the director he met last time.

Of course, the other party called Haruhiko Oba, who then transferred it to Shuji Tsushima.

"This is Director Jayden's phone number, looking for you." Haruhiko Oba handed the phone to Shuji Tsushima.

"It seems that he quite recognizes Xiuzhi's detective ability." His tone was gratifying.

"I understand, please protect the crime scene." Tsushima Shuji said to the other end of the phone.

"Do you need me to send you there?" Oba Haruhiko asked.

"If you want to be on the news." Tsushima Shuji said nonchalantly.

"There is nothing that American paparazzi are afraid to write about."

I'm afraid that an hour after Haruhiko Oba appears at the scene of the crime, the killing of Aland's director will appear on the front page of the news.

"Then you can only let them accompany you there." Haruhiko Oba said helplessly.

"Use your detective skills well, you're a pretty young detective who can see through people's hearts." He encouraged.

Shuji Tsushima: I really want to know who got the nickname.

Be sure to thank that person properly.

…

The crime scene was in a remote suburb.

When Shuji Tsushima arrived, the crime scene had been cordoned off and surrounded by police collecting evidence.

As well as some surrounding residents watching the excitement from the outside.

The bodyguards set up a cordon, and Tsushima Shuji stepped into the crime scene.

"That's still a kid, right?"

"Why can he get in?"

"Are you really not going to cause trouble?" the onlookers questioned.

"That's a young detective." The police guarding the perimeter introduced them.

"Detective? Like Sherlock Holmes?" someone asked.

"Of course, a detective like Sherlock Holmes." The policeman nodded.

"Wow, this is really cool." Someone said with a thumbs up.

"I like Sherlock Holmes." Someone said.

"Me too." Several people looked at each other, full of like-minded atmosphere.

At this moment, Shuji Tsushima had already seen the specific scene of the crime scene.

The police officers searching for clues, and... the body lying behind the door.

"Noah, you're here." Director Jayden looked up and saw Shuji Tsushima and said hello.

People here in the United States are more accustomed to calling Shuji Tsushima by his English name.

"Did you find anything?" Shuji Tsushima squatted next to the body and asked.

The cause of death was two stab wounds to the neck.

It looked like he was trying to crawl out of the doorway.

He must have fallen to the ground after being slashed, and was about to crawl out to escape.

But halfway up, the murderer caught up and hacked him to death.

There were bloody footprints all over the room, spreading all the way to the bedroom.

There were also blood stains on the bedside and quilt.

There was a neat rip in the quilt, revealing the white cotton wool inside. Cell phones and wallets were randomly thrown on the quilt.

Shuji Tsushima stretched out his white-gloved hand and picked up his wallet.

"It's a robbery."

He looked at the neatly arranged cards and a wallet without any cash.

"The deceased was probably stabbed by the murderer while he was lying on the bed sleeping." He pointed to the neat cracks on the quilt.

"The victim was not killed with the first knife. The victim struggled and tried to escape, but was stabbed in the neck again by the murderer who caught up, causing him to bleed to death."

He came to the body again, observing the distance to the door.

Then he reached out and touched the door lock.

"The lock is not broken." He touched it and said.

"So...?" Director Jayden asked doubtfully.

"The murderer didn't come in through the door." Shuji Tsushima said firmly.

"Check if there are any clues left on the window sill." He motioned to Chief Jayden to instruct the other police officers.

"Did you hear that?" Chief Jayden glanced at the policeman beside him.

"Yes!" The other party immediately ran to check the window sill.

"Chief, suspicious footprints were found in the yard." A police officer shouted.

Director Jayden rushed over immediately.

Shuji Tsushima followed slowly.

"That's it." said the policeman who found the footprints.

"The soles have skeleton footprints..." Director Jayden was lost in thought.

Tsushima Shuji looked at the yard and then at the door behind him.

He is truly a laid-back and unhurried murderer.

"Chief! Two fingerprints were found on the window sill." The policeman who had been sent to check the window sill ran over and said.

"And... there are still a few incomplete footprints." The tone was surprising.

"Are they footprints again? Are they the footprints with skulls on the soles of the shoes?" Director Jayden asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's... the footprints are made of cloth. He probably wore shoe covers..." The policeman said hesitantly.

"Another kind of footprints? Could there be two murderers?" Director Jayden thought.

"No, there is only one murderer." Shuji Tsushima denied his speculation.

"Check the fence to see if there are any signs of anyone climbing on it." He ordered the policeman in a natural tone.

"Ah...Okay...Okay!" The policeman was stunned for a moment and nodded.

What do ordinary people do before killing someone?

Have a cigarette in the corner to calm down?

Shuji Tsushima came to the corner of the yard beyond the window sill.

He lowered his head and searched without saying a word.

Beneath a rock he found his target.

A cigarette butt.

He reached out to pick up the cigarette butts and put them into the evidence bag. He stood up and handed the evidence bag to Director Jayden who was standing aside.

"What is this?" Director Jayden took the evidence bag and looked at the short cigarette butt inside.

"It was the cigarette smoked by the murderer." Shuji Tsushima said calmly.

"Chief, we did find traces of someone climbing on the wall." The policeman ran over excitedly.

"The murderer climbed over the wall into the yard, and climbed into the room through the window wearing shoe covers..." Shuji Tsushima began to explain in a calm tone.

"The victim was chased and stabbed as he tried to escape."

"Take the money, put on your shoes and leave calmly." He nodded thoughtfully.

"But that leaves the spectrum of suspects too broad."

"Comparing fingerprints one by one is too slow."

"The time of death was two days ago..."

"Did the victim have contact with anyone two days ago?" Shuji Tsushima asked.

Director Jayden subconsciously looked at the policeman.

"I'll go check it out right away!" the policeman said sensibly.
