white night syndrome

Chapter 208 176. Don't move! (seeking a monthly ticket)

Hearing Hashimoto's answer like this, Li Ming immediately showed a relieved expression, and he looked at the doctor in front of him with a smirk.

"Sorry, Dr. Hashimoto, I was a little too aggressive just now. Please forgive me if I offend you."

"...Since Officer Li Ming has said so, it would not be a gentleman's behavior for me to argue any further." Although Dr. Hashimoto said these words, her behavior was exactly the opposite. She said impatiently and perfunctorily. "Please" gesture, "The firefighter happens to be living in the hospital now. If you need it, I can lead you to the ward at any time."

"Then it will be troublesome." Li Ming bowed slightly and said softly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you temporarily express that you don’t need to lead the way, it will be a lot more troublesome to see Miss Hashimoto again, and you may even hide yourself completely because of this. Even with the coercive power of the Metropolitan Police Department, Hashimoto will be Ben is more disgusted and does not take cooperative action.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department can use force to convince Ms. Hashimoto, the final result must still be based on clues, rather than eliminating reaction.

Under the guidance of Ms. Hashimoto, everyone came to the room where the firefighters were.

As soon as he opened the door, he could see a man with bandages on his arms and legs lying on the bed, surrounded by several people, who looked like his colleagues.

Seeing the uninvited guest entering the room, the fellow firefighters stood up one after another and looked at the visitor with vigilance and doubt. After seeing Miss Hashimoto's figure, they gradually restrained their expressions.

"Doctor Hashimoto, may I ask if this is...?"

"Let me introduce myself, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Li Ming." Without waiting for Hashimoto to explain, the young man took a step forward, and looked at the firefighters in front of him with a smile that he thought he was very friendly, "You don't have to be nervous. , The Fire Police Metropolitan Police Department and the hospital are both one, we are here just to learn about the Miss Bai Chuan that you rescued on the day of the Shan Bai Meng fire incident."

Seeing this, the firefighter lying on the bed immediately showed a shallow smile. He waved his hand and asked the colleagues around him to step back a few steps. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to straighten his upper body.

"Let me also introduce myself. I am Xiangta, a member of the fire brigade. I have long heard that the friends of the Metropolitan Police Department are very efficient in handling affairs and investigations. I saw it today. It is true. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m very willing to cooperate.”

To be reasonable, if it weren't for his willingness to cooperate in the last sentence, Li Ming really felt that he said that the Metropolitan Police Department's work efficiency is extremely high, which is yin and yang.

"If it's convenient, can you tell me how you fell?"

Jiutiao forensic doctor has been studying the injuries of the firefighters since she entered the door. In her impression, the protection measures of firefighters are the strongest, so how could they still be injured...?
"It was just an accident that happened during a training session yesterday. At that time, I was doing climbing training, but the climbing protection rope broke unexpectedly." Shota recalled the past, with fear naturally appearing on his expression, "Fortunately, I was in the midway. I scratched the window sill of the lower floor with my hands, and in the end I just broke a leg, otherwise I don’t know what the consequences will be..."

"But I remember that the safety rope is made of steel wire, right? Is there any wear and tear?" Nine Forensic Doctors asked curiously.

"It is indeed made of steel wire. The preliminary investigation may be caused by corrosion and fracture." A colleague standing next to Xiangta said.

"It's such a coincidence, it's all because he was too absent-minded recently, so he hurriedly climbed up without checking the safety rope, and then caused this accident." Another thin and tall colleague snorted, "Xiangtai It’s always been sloppy recently, so it’s reasonable for such an accident to happen.”

"That's what I said, but for Xiangtai, is such a comment a little too..." The person just now hesitated to speak.

"Too...?" Li Ming frowned and asked.

The man glanced at Xiangta who was half lying on the bed behind him, and spread his hands: "Actually, the fire on the [-]th left a nightmare in his heart, which caused him to be out of his mind recently, which is normal."

nightmare?

Did something unexpected really happen at the scene of the crime?
Li Ming's curiosity was aroused, he opened his notebook to write and draw on it, and at the same time looked at the firefighter in front of him.

"Can you tell me more details?"

Shota looked a little embarrassed, but he still talked about his experience of saving lives that day.

"At about four o'clock in the afternoon on the [-]th, my comrades and I rushed to the scene after receiving the fire call. The fire was very intense, and there were constant explosions in the villa."

"Based on the idea that there may be people inside, I rushed into the villa first to see, but at the moment the doors and windows of the villa were tightly sealed, and I had no choice but to use the fire ax to break open the gate of the villa."

"After entering the villa, I immediately found a figure at the door, who was later Miss Baichuan. But when I picked up Miss Baichuan and was about to rush out, Miss Baichuan suddenly grabbed my cuff and lifted it up with all her strength. Point your finger in the direction of the bathroom.”

"Bathroom...?" Li Ming hesitated to speak.

"When I looked in the direction Miss Bai Chuan was pointing at, I only found the wooden door of the bathroom playing a role, so I suspected that there was another person there, so I left Miss Bai Chuan outside the villa, and rushed into the villa again. Leaned in the direction of the bathroom."

"However... when I opened the bathroom door, I found a black shadow rushing towards me, and that black shadow rushed out of the door very quickly." Xiangtai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, feeling a little terrified Said.

Shadow?

Is there another person in the bathroom?
Seeing that Xiangtai's appearance didn't seem to be made up, Li Ming paused, looking thoughtful.

"What about the black shadow?" Sakura asked.

"Where is there any shadow, we have been guarding the door, and we haven't seen anything." Shota's colleague replied.

"According to what he said before, that black shadow can be more than one meter long. If this can slip away from our noses, then probably unless we are blind."

Shota smiled sheepishly at his colleague's words. Even for him, he was now more inclined to regard that encounter as an illusion.

But... is it really an illusion?
The current situation is that all clues must be collected, even if it is an absurd statement, it is still said, and it still has a certain value of consideration.

After thanking the fireman and his colleagues lying on the hospital bed, forensic doctor Jiutiao and Li Ming left the hospital together with others.

……

Things fell apart.

What role did Masaharu Sato, who once again entered the field of vision of the police, play in this case?
Is the black shadow in the eyes of firefighter Xiangta real or unreal?
Everything seems to have slowly emerged from the mist.At noon on the [-]th, after announcing the tracking of Sato Masaharu's whereabouts, at [-]:[-] pm, Li Ming learned from other departments of the Metropolitan Police Department that Sato Zhengzhi left the era on the morning of the [-]th.

Sato bought a train ticket to Chiba at ten o'clock in the morning that day, and arrived in Chiba City at noon that day.

Chiba...

Is this a coincidence? ?

Or... is it a script written in advance?

According to the informant, someone once saw a person who looked the same as Masaharu Sato in a certain hotel in Chiba City, and it was almost certain that it was Masaharu Sato.

Li Ming discussed with Yuan Qingyu, Kurosawa Mika and others for a while, and finally decided to go to Chiba City immediately to arrest Sato Masaharu.

After getting the news, everyone immediately bought a ticket to Chiba City, and at around four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the hotel provided in the informant.

"Interesting result, what do you think?" Yuan Qingyu said lightly, "I didn't expect to be able to travel across the region in Baimeng and return to Chiba City where we have been staying. It can be seen that there should be some secrets buried inside, but It has not yet been discovered."

"The clues we have now are still scattered. Although I can always feel that there is a dark line connecting these clues, what I can't do is to connect them together and deduce the real case. "

Li Ming rubbed the acupuncture point on the bridge of his nose, looking like he had a headache.

"So our task now is to catch this Masaharu Sato as soon as possible. There must be enough secrets buried in him."

After waiting at the spot, at around eight o'clock in the evening on the [-]th, they saw a slender man in casual clothes appearing near the hotel. After checking Mika Kurosawa's identification, it was found that this person was Sato.

Li Ming opened the car door without hesitation and walked towards this man, while Sato was also looking around, and soon found someone getting out of the car and rushing towards him, Sato immediately turned around and ran away in the opposite direction.

"Don't move!"

Li Ming let out an angry roar, and took out from his waist the pistol that had been with him for a short time. It was given to him by Jiu Tiao's forensic doctor before. After pulling the bolt, he slammed the trigger.

The bullet burst out from the barrel, setting off a wave of heat that shot straight into the sky.

Sato was also frightened by the noise, he squatted on the spot and gave up resistance.

"Mr. Sato's room in the hotel in Chiba City has been searched. Through this search, only some changes of clothes and a huge amount of cash from unknown sources were found." Yuan Qingyu walked out of the hotel, and he solemnly reminded , said to the young man in front of him.

"A huge amount of cash, tell me where it came from, and why you ran away after seeing us coming. Is there some secret buried?"

When asked about the source of the huge amount of cash, Sato could not tell what the result was.

After the arrest was completed, everyone took Masaharu Sato back to the era overnight, and the interrogation began at around ten o'clock in the evening.

"It's the first time we've met, Mr. Masaharu Sato." Li Ming twirled his pen and chuckled, "I don't think our Metropolitan Police Department should feel sorry for you, I'm a little curious why you absconded?"

"I just want to go out and relax. Because of the death of my teacher Shan Baimeng, I am a little confused about my future. Is this normal? At least it should be regarded as human nature, right?"

Sato looked arrogant and stern, but his arrogance still subsided, at least in front of Li Ming.

"Mr. Sato, I think we came to interrogate you this time with sufficient sincerity. I sincerely hope that you will not betray our trust and tell all the real situation. We will naturally weigh whether to Make you a suspect, if you blindly cover up the truth, then even if you did not do the truth in the end, we will still punish you for your disturbing public security actions."

Li Ming played with the pen in his hand and smiled with interest.

"I think Mr. Sato is still young and has a lot of time to spend on scientific research. In addition, you also have a reputation with Mr. Kurosawa Naoki. I think if there is no such incident, you should have one." A bright future and future.”

"Can't we be honest with each other? We have to meet each other... This is something I don't want to see so far, and it is absolutely taboo for me."

"I... I just came to the chemical plant to take away the medicines I needed because I received an instruction from Mr. Kurosawa Naoki." Sato weighed the pros and cons, and added with a sigh, "In At the time of the incident."

"After I sent the medicine to Mr. Shan Baimeng's family, I disclosed to him that I wanted to help him complete the experiment, but Mr. Shan Bai still sternly refused, so this made me a little unhappy. "

"What I said is the truth. You can investigate at any time. I will never tell half a lie in front of you."

"Anyone will say it." Li Ming snorted coldly, "So Mr. Masaharu Sato must dissect all the details and then tell us. Before the clues of the case are provided, we still regard your promise as... ...the meaning of the joke."

Li Ming recalled the information about barbecue that he had seen in some materials before, which made him a little overwhelmed.

In fact, from the very beginning, Masaharu Sato stepped into his school because of the high yield of San Baimeng in scientific research. However, when conducting really important experiments, San Baimeng never let him participate.

So even after five or six years of working under San Baimeng, Sato still has no academic achievements.

It is impossible for Sato not to have a trace of resentment about this, but these resentments are far from the level of murder to vent his anger.

——Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"So when I heard the news of Mr. Yamashiro's death, I still felt like a bolt from the blue." Sato lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After that, I called to inquire at the first time, but after I was so depressed, I still comforted me and told me that I could take on some scientific research work on the basis of my previous work."

In confusion, Masaharu Sato came to Shangying University, and ran into Kuranosuke Shirai in the office of Yamabaimo.
