white night syndrome

Chapter 207 175. Strange and weird (please vote for me)

The warehouse is used for both import and export, and only a white paint line is used to divide the raw materials and products. There are two exits on the same side, both of which are equipped with floor scales and monitoring systems.

Entering the interior of the warehouse, you can see many wooden crates stacked together, and the names and numbers of the contents are printed on the boxes.

The scene of the crime was in a corner of the warehouse. Li Ming followed Naoki Kurosawa to the scene cautiously. The first thing he saw was a half-open wooden box and some white powder scattered on the ground.

"Can you tell me what happened at the crime scene?"

Li Ming took the notebook that Yuan Qingyu had handed over behind him, holding a pen with a look of interest.

"This morning, an employee of our chemical plant found a wooden box during a daily routine inspection...that is, the one in front of you. The weight of this box is completely inconsistent with the label, so I contacted the library. The management staff pried open the wooden box, only to find that the medicine inside had disappeared.”

"So you found out about the theft after the fact?" Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, a whole box of medicines has lost about ten kilograms in total." Naoki Kurosawa kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, his voice trembling, "If these ten kilograms of medicines are abused, it may be Indirectly affecting 40 to [-] people, the consequences will be immeasurable."

"Are there any more details?"

Li Ming frowned, did not fully express his inner thoughts, but continued to ask questions, wanting to know more details of the case, and at the same time he was looking at the white powder and every corner of the crime scene.

He found a path around the box made of white powder, which was exactly the same as the medicine powder in the box, extending all the way to the wall of the warehouse, sawing a small pile under the corner.

He didn't know what that meant, but it sure wasn't a good thing either.

"All the wooden boxes in the warehouse are sealed with nail guns, so the box where the incident happened was kept tightly sealed until the employee found the abnormality and opened the box." Kurosawa Naoki's voice came over.

Li Ming waved his hands to deal with it, while continuing to look at the paths made of medicine powder, his brows were furrowed even more tightly.

Looking up through the traces of treatment, you can see a vent at a height of five meters, and there are no climbing points around the vent. Even if you climb up with a ladder, you will be blocked by the fence posts of the vent.

It is not that no one on the scene has noticed this trace, but judging from the existing conditions, this trace is more like the suspect's old suspicions.

Carefully reckoning and going outside the storeroom to investigate, Li Ming found that under the window corresponding to the trace was the river crossing Ikebukuro.

"Is there monitoring in the chemical plant, can you call it out and show us?"

Li Dang's tone was unquestionable, and his coldness spread out as time went by. The clues he had obtained so far were getting more and more wrong, and he instinctively began to crave more clues and more details.

After getting permission, several people went to the security room to check the surveillance video of the factory warehouse——

Judging from the surveillance footage, no one has entered the warehouse except the employees inside the chemical plant.

Until around 8 pm on the 2th, an employee ran out of the warehouse. A few minutes later, many workers entered the warehouse. From this point of view, this is the time when the factory employees discovered that the medicine was missing.

According to Kurosawa Naoki's description, the daily routine inspection of the chemical plant is around 7 pm, that is to say, during the period from 2 pm on the 8th to 2 pm on the [-]th, the medicines in the factory were lost.

"Did you find anything?" Kurosawa Mika came up and asked softly.

"The time of Bai Chuan's death does not match the time when the factory's drugs were lost." Li Dang looked around and responded softly, "And there are obvious traces of splicing in the video provided by the factory."

"You mean...are they hiding something?" Kurosawa Mika pursed her lips, her expression a little complicated.

After all, the Kurosawa Chemical Industry is owned by her Kurosawa chaebol. With such an obvious problem, as the heir after three years, she naturally instinctively rejected and felt grief.

"Mr. Kurosawa Naoki, you should understand that before asking for help, you must first reveal your bargaining chip." Li Ming whispered, holding his head high, "But in your entrustment, I did not Seeing your sincerity, you should understand what I’m talking about, right?”

"This... excuse me for being stupid." President Naoki looked a little frightened, but still showed an indifferent attitude, and there was a fluke mentality that the young man in front of him was just cheating himself.

"Do I have to make it clear? The video you provided us has very obvious traces of splicing. Even if you want to forge and deceive, you must at least learn editing skills? With such obvious flaws, do you really think we are blind? ?” Li Ming sneered.

"No, no, I just want to take back the medicine as much as possible within a day to avoid excess..." President Kurosawa hesitated to speak, and immediately provided new evidence to the young man in front of him.

In the real video, the factory employees discovered the drug theft as early as [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th.

"Stop using your high-sounding excuses. I've seen it a long time ago. You want to make up for the lost materials by transferring raw materials from the laboratory to avoid redundant judicial procedures, right?" Li Canheng There was a sound.

However, even in the real video, it is almost impossible to see anyone other than factory employees entering the warehouse. It was not until Li Mingjiang's time was set back to around [-] pm on the [-]th that a person in a white coat appeared in the warehouse. .

The man was dressed differently from the factory employees, but he seemed to be very familiar with the factory employees. He entered the factory warehouse and walked out of the warehouse with two bags of things after a while.

"This is Masaharu Sato. I was entrusted by Mr. Yamashiromeng before, so when I sent him the experimental materials, it was sent by Masaharu Sato."

"What about the drug registration information?"

The person from the Drug Administration interrupted at this moment, and the person sent knocked the white paper in his hand, with a stern expression on his face.

"Mr. Kurosawa Naoki, it seems that there is no registration of Mr. Sato Shoji in the drug registration filing materials you provided us. Why don't you explain to us what's going on?"

"Sorry...I forgot to mention this, because Sato Masaharu serves as an assistant to Mr. Shanghan. I gave him such rights out of trust in him, so the medicines Sato receives will be registered with me. .”

For some reason, Li Ming always felt that something was weird.

His brain was running fast, trying to understand the mystery within.Mr. Masaharu Sato's role as an assistant was mentioned between Naoki Kurosawa and Mr. Yamashiro Meng. Is there any connection between them?

"Then Mr. Kurosawa Naoki, can you show us the form that Mr. Sato registered with you?"

While Li Ming was meditating, the eldest daughter of the Kurosawa Zaibatsu Group finally interjected, calling her father's name directly in front of outsiders, coupled with the anger in her tone, it was enough to see the seriousness of the matter .

"Mr. Kurosawa Naoki, let me remind you one last time. If you lie again, I think you will definitely not end well. Of course, this is not a curse on you, because after all, you are also my father, but If you continue to forge, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely regard you as the biggest suspect, and then there will be no way out."

"This……"

The president wiped off his cold sweat, and walked straight to his office. It didn't take long for him to come out with a document composed of white paper.

"You'd better be highly enlightened."

Li Dang snorted coldly, took the form to apply for medicines written by himself, and compared it with the medicine storage in the warehouse. He immediately found that in addition to ten kilograms of high-efficiency anesthetics missing, there was also a bottle of stack missing in the warehouse. nitrogen and sodium.

Sodium azide is sodium azide, a colorless, odorless, highly toxic, and highly explosive compound.

not good.

Li Ming secretly made a sound in his heart, took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and asked the president in front of him: "Do you have Mr. Sato's contact information?"

"I haven't contacted him since the night of the [-]th." Kurosawa Naoki responded, handing the business card in his arms to the young man in front of him, "What's wrong? Is Mr. Sato the breakthrough point in the case? "

"If there is no accident, it should be."

Li Ming responded calmly, put the earpiece behind his ear, but what he heard was only the recording that was being turned off.

No matter how many times you fight, the ending is the same.

"Notify the Metropolitan Police Department immediately to track Mr. Sato Shoji. We suspect that Mr. Sato is closely related to the case we are investigating. Even if he is not the murderer, there should be a lot of clues hidden in him, so we Find it as soon as possible."

After getting the answer, Li Ming quickly dialed the Metropolitan Police Department, and gave orders in an eager tone, then he glanced at the messy warehouse in front of him, and then looked at Kurosawa Naoki with extremely weird eyes.

"Mr. Kurosawa, I hope you can learn to exchange chips next time you entrust me with something." After Li Ming finished saying this, he quickly turned and left.

Yuan Qingyu and Mihua looked at each other and followed closely.

They now have no reason to act separately, so they must go to the same place together to find more clues, and Baimeng's escape is imminent.

Following Li Ming who moved freely ahead, they came to the Municipal Hospital of Ikebukuro District. After negotiating with the staff of the hospital, they got the opportunity to inquire about the accounts of the use of medicines by the affiliated hospital.

Judging from the results, the hospital's accounts and inventory are basically the same, and the use of each injection of medicine can be found to be opposed, and there is basically no possibility of abuse.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, although it is not very useful to us." Li Ming bowed deeply to the man in front of him.

The three were about to leave, but at this moment, Yuan Qingyu unexpectedly saw Jiu Tiao Yin appear in the corridor of the hospital.

"Yo? Li Ming, it's still you." Sakurako Kutiao raised two dark circles under her eyes, looking a little tired, "I came this time to find these clues, which is Miss Bai Chuan's attending doctor Hashimoto."

Li Ming spread out his hands, and followed the opportunity to an emergency trauma clinic. When entering the clinic, one could see that the director of the department was talking with a patient. After waiting for them to finish speaking, Kutiao Yingzi went Go forward and ask about Bai Chuan.

"Hello, Miss Hashimoto, we are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and would like to ask you some specific information, is that okay?"

The childish voice of Dr. Kujo temporarily dispelled Dr. Hashimoto's vigilance. She looked up and down at Li Ming and Kujo standing in front of them.

"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Ever since Miss Shirakawa passed away, I had a hunch that people from the Metropolitan Police Department would definitely come to me. I didn't expect it to come so soon. Just ask, if I can answer Those who come up, I will definitely answer as much as possible."

"It's really refreshing, Ms. Hashimoto. To be honest, our Metropolitan Police Department has recently received a case of drug theft, which is the high-efficiency anesthetic produced by Mr. San Baimeng in [-]. As far as I know, this anesthetic is generally It is more applicable in medical treatment, so can you tell me, have you ever used it on Ms. Bai Chuan?"

"The high-efficiency anesthetic is very effective, but because it is difficult to judge the signs of anesthesia for patients with body burns, a slight accident may lead to breathing, chicken paralysis, and even heart arrest, so I will not use this drug to inject my body. on the patient." Hashimoto responded eloquently.

"However, when I dissected the corpse, I found that the real cause of Miss Bai Chuan's death was closely related to these stolen high-efficiency anesthetics, plus your friendship with Miss Bai Chuan is very long-term and balanced.

I don’t know if there is any relationship or hatred between you, but people are inherently selfish creatures. If there is a conflict of interest between you, then it is not very logical and real for you to inject her with a high-efficiency anesthetic. "

"You are really joking, or you have read too many mystery novels to have such an absurd understanding."

Hashimoto said coldly.

No one wants that cauldron to fall on themselves.

"The cause of Ms. Shirakawa's death is really surprising to me, but before Shirakawa's death, no non-medical staff should have had contact with him." Hashimoto paused, "If this is really a problem of the hospital, Then I will conduct a thorough investigation of the medical staff, but the medical staff around me have cooperated with me for a long time..."

"By the way, can you tell me whether Ms. Bai Chuan was in an abnormal state before she died? I think this should be regarded as a breakthrough in the case."

"Ms. Bai Chuan was already in shock when she was delivered... But I suggest you ask the firefighter who rescued Miss Bai Chuan. The fireman has broken his leg and is also living in the hospital."
