white night syndrome

Chapter 201 169. Now I can only take one step and see one step (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

The voice of customer service came from the other end of the phone. Li Mingzheng was at a loss for what to do with the boring and boring introductory words just now. At this moment, a new speech was finally ushered in. He immediately sat up reflexively and stretched a little. With a sore back, he opened his mouth.

"This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. There are still some details that need to be negotiated with your company regarding the Sanbaimo fire incident. Can you connect me with your manager?" Li Ming put his hands on the corner of his mouth and deliberately lowered his voice. , "Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself, I am Li Ming from the Metropolitan Police Department who is in charge of this case."

"Li...Officer Li, right? I'll contact the company right away."

A busy tone came from the other end of the phone, as well as a mechanical tone that made the caller wait for a while, and Li Ming returned to his previous experience on the highway in a daze.

click.

Like pressing a button on a radio, a strange and mature voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Hi, I'm Tatsuya Naora, the general manager of KINCHO Pyrethrum Company, what's the matter for Officer Li?"

Perhaps because of Li Ming's status as a deterrent, the general manager's voice sounded like he was trembling and pretending to be calm.

"It's like this. You should have heard about Mr. Shan Baimeng. My investigation found that I had a phone call with your company before Mr. Shan Baimeng was killed. Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

"At that time, Mr. Yamashiro did contact our company about home services, but I did not know the details of the service." Naoliang's voice sounded more and more trembling, "Well, I will tell Mr. Yamashiro in our company The phone number of the pest control employee scheduled here is given to you so you can contact them personally.”

"It's not impossible, it's hard work, Mr. Naoliang."

Li Ming nodded naturally, and when he was about to hang up after hearing the phone number, Zhi Liang's voice came again.

"Um...Officer Li, Kaoru Aoya, he shouldn't have anything to do with Mr. Yamashiro's fire incident, right?"

Kaoru Aoya is an employee of the Pyrethrum Company, that is, the one who went to San Baimeng's house for deworming service that day.

"I don't think it has anything to do with it, it's just a routine inquiry." Li Ming supported his head and tapped on the table, "Why, does Mr. Zhiliang have something to say? Why do you feel that there is something in your words?"

"You, you misunderstood...just because this is the first time our company has received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, and it is such a major incident... If Qing Gu-kun is involved in the case, I think our company will consider firing him." Zhiliang paused for a moment.

"Are you a little too sensitive?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Although this is your company's matter, I can't decide, but I advise you not to be too sensitive."

What Li Ming actually wanted to say was that it was not easy for employees, because as far as he knew that the workload of social animals in Japan was huge, and many people committed suicide due to mental breakdown. He could already imagine that the employee named Qing Gu would change after being fired. What kind of ending has it come to, so the kindness in his heart is driving...

But...he was afraid that others would say that he was a bit too holy.

Who are these others... Kurosawa, Gen Seitama, Naoyoshi Tatsuya?Who knows...

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming continued to press the button tirelessly to call the exterminator named Qing Gu.

The phone rang once and was picked up. A tentative, slightly youthful voice came from a distance, mixed with some fatigue.

"Hello, may I ask..."

"That's it. We are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Ming. I want to ask you about some details about Mr. Shan Baimeng's fire case. Is it convenient for you?" Li Mingdun for a moment.

"Ha..." Unexpectedly, the young voice suddenly sighed, and it seemed to be a long sigh, "It turned out to be from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department... I thought it was the person who complained..."

Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly——

"Huh?! Metropolitan Police Department?! I didn't do anything wrong, Mr. Officer... I'm just an employee of a small pest control company... I have been working hard, and it is impossible to harm people... "

"Please be quiet, I believe you are unlikely to harm anyone, as I said before, we are just asking routinely." Li Ming pursed his lips, "You just need to answer all our questions. , if you are really not a suspect, we will not make things difficult for you."

"well……"

"That's it. I just contacted your company. Are you the employee that Mr. Shan Baimeng made an appointment that day?"

After finally calming down the startled guy, Li Ming finally calmed down and continued to ask, he rubbed his bangs unnaturally.

"Mr. Shan Baimeng... Shan Baimeng? Shan Bai...?" While thinking about his natural self-talk, the other party's voice suddenly became louder, "I remember, yes, it was Mr. Shan Baimeng who made an appointment at that time. mine."

"Then can you tell me the details about that day? And what day did you come to Shan Baimeng's house to serve?" Li Ming winked at Yuan Qingyu behind him, took the notebook from him, Then he picked up the black pen on the desk and clicked casually on the new page of the notebook.

"That day was the fifth day of this month, right? It should be... Mr. Shanbai, I remember very clearly. When he made an appointment, he talked to me with a somewhat anxious attitude, as if a lot of bugs had invaded the house. I was still fully armed on that day. Have a good time..."

have a good time...

This metaphor is a bit interesting, and it completely fits this guy's personality.

"Unexpectedly, when I arrived at his home, I found that his home was very clean and there was basically no need for pest control." Qing Gu paused.

"I told Mr. Shanbai truthfully, but after he insisted repeatedly as if he was mysophobic, I had no choice but to completely spray the villa with insecticide according to the procedure and then left. .”

"Pesticide? Can you tell me about the chemical ingredients in it?" Li Dao wrote down such terms in his notebook, and then continued to ask, "We have some suspicion that the insecticide caused the fire. Of course, if this is the case, this It's not your problem, please try to be quiet."

"Our company's insecticide is a pure natural pyrethrum extract, which is absolutely non-toxic." Qinggu's voice became dull, "You can see about our company's insecticide on the market. If you don't believe it, You can take it for testing yourself, I remember that there is such an institution in the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

"Yes, we generally call it Kesouyan."

Li Ming answered with a nod, while typing on his mobile phone, notifying Ms. Okamoto of Kesouyan to go to the market to buy insecticide, and then take it for testing.

"Is there anything else to say about the details of the day?"

"It seems that there is no more. Anyway, Mr. Shanbai seems to have a very serious mysophobia..." Qinggu paused, "It's so unpredictable in the world. Such a great scientist fell like this. I thought he would die."

"That's right, so we need to cherish the present even more now."

Li Ming looked at the angry emoji on the phone screen in front of him, couldn't help laughing, and replied casually.

"Okay, Mr. Qinggu, we have no problems for the time being. Thank you for your cooperation."

After hanging up the phone without hesitation, Saito behind him leaned over: "I think this employee seems a little weird, what do you think?"

"Oh? Where is it?" Li Ming didn't continue to speak, but instead raised his eyebrows and asked, "I'm more interested in your opinion, after all, you are my senior, and you may see things from the same angle as us. The younger generation is different, and I didn't feel anything unusual when I got in touch just now, what's your opinion?"

"This is not a good idea, but I just feel that such an impatient young man suddenly calmed down when talking about Mr. Shanshiro's incident. It just feels a little strange, and it is not a discovery worthy of praise." Saito leaned on his desk, Leaning forward, he pursed his lips.

"This is also a point worth noting, so let's list him as a suspect for the time being. The case has not been fully unfolded, so we have to cast the net as wide as possible, and then screen out the real worthy suspects from among these suspects." Those who doubt." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.

The last one in the phone number seems to be Kurosawa Naoki.

Originally, he planned to wait for Ms. Okamoto's test results before contacting this person, but right now... time is running out, so it's better to solve it as soon as possible.

Press the button, and after a brief ring, the call is connected.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Kurosawa Naoki? We are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I need to ask you about the details of the Yamabaimo fire incident. Speaking of which, we are old acquaintances who have met before. I hope you be able to answer truthfully.”

"Officer Li Ming, right?" Kurosawa's somewhat vicissitudes of voice paused, and after a long silence, he said, "Okay, do you have any other questions?"

"It's nothing more than what I asked that day, whether you have been in contact with Mr. Shan Baimeng recently." Li Ming raised his eyebrows.

Kurosawa Naoki's voice sounded impatient: "Didn't I say that before? I have no contact with Mr. Yamashiro..."

"Don't rush to answer. You should be a shrewd chaebol president. Think about it...if we don't have enough evidence to prove that you have contact with Mr. Shanbai, will we contact you again?" Li Di deliberately made noise on the white paper in his hand, "We checked Mr. Shan Baimeng's call records and found that you contacted Mr. Shan Bai on the day of the incident. How do you explain this?"

"That may be because I have been on too many calls recently, and I have forgotten about it. Things at the chemical plant have been piling up recently, so it is normal not to remember these, right? Does it mean that Officer Li Dang still wants to force a confession from me?"

"Of course not. In addition to the evidence of the call records, we have also prepared a big gift, which is the video evidence copied from the Ministry of Transportation of your car going to Shanbai Meng's house that day..."

Li Ming paused for a moment, his voice filled with laughter.

"I think you should understand the truth that the evidence is solid. Now that all the evidence is complete, do you still want to deny it? If you continue to deny it, then we will classify you as a suspect."

"I remembered, I remembered! I did receive a request from Mr. Yamashiromeng for experimental materials that day...but I didn't go there that day, but sent my assistant Masaharu Sato to drive there."

This makes sense.

Why did he contact Sato for 1 minute after contacting Kurosawa.

Perhaps after explaining the situation, Yamashiro contacted Masaharu Sato himself.

"Then what are the experimental materials?" Li Ming recalled the clue of the azide compound that he had obtained before, and asked with great interest.

"It's nothing more than magnesium chloride, calcium fluoride, and the like. I don't know much about these chemicals, so I just remember these things." Kurosawa's voice sounded steady and quiet.

It can only be said that ginger is still old and spicy.

"And what about azides?"

Li Dang knocked on the table hard to clarify the situation.

"Our company's management of hazardous chemicals is very strict, so we will not do this kind of thing without reporting. Your Metropolitan Police Department should keep a record of the reporting situation, right?"

"Well... well, thank you very much for your cooperation, this inquiry is over."

Li Ming nodded to himself, twisted his mouth, hung up the phone with a bored expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Combined, these clues don’t seem to be enough to advance the case...

Now it's even more foggy, and just like what Yuan Qingyu said, they have indeed fallen into a passive state.

It is basically impossible to reverse the current situation... we can only take one step at a time.

When Li Ming came back to his senses, he found that he was already walking on the street, and on the way to Shangying University. Behind him, Kurosawa and Yuan Qingyu supported him with their hands, with a look of reluctance. look.

Did time jump again?
No...Maybe it was because I was too involved in thinking about the problem, which led to the subjective feeling that time was speeding up and jumping.

It's not a dream now.

So it is basically impossible for chaotic dreams to appear.

"You finally came to your senses, Li Ming." Kurosawa put down his hand with some annoyance, "You have been distracted since you made the call. What are you thinking about?"

"It's just an analysis of the case. I think this case is getting more and more difficult..." Li Ming sighed, "And he is still deeply passive, and now he can only take one step at a time."

"I told you a long time ago not to offend Shan Baitaro. When we are in trouble, we can contact him to find out the situation, but now the three of us are alone, and we can only rely on other people's instructions to act." Yuan Qingyu thought to himself He shook his head confidently.

"Offending Shan Baitaro, it should be the most correct thing I have done in my life, so you don't need to persuade me anymore." Li Ming felt a little relieved, he stretched his waist, "Okay, let's go next The destination is to go to Ying University."
