The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 168 Case Progress

"Detective Cheng, this case is a hot potato. Why are you still taking it?" Lin Huarong took a breath after hearing this.

"The labor supervisor called me personally and asked me to come over. Do you think I can refuse?" Cheng Mo asked.

The bosses of political stocks all came forward.

If it were him, he wouldn't dare to refuse. He would also want to do it in the patrol room.

"If this case doesn't involve other things, it will be easy to handle." Cheng Mo said, "The senior management is afraid that the Japanese will take advantage of the problem and impose conditions on us. If I don't take this case, it will have to be handed over to the Japanese team. Think about it, If it is handed over to the Japanese group, what will be the fate of us people in the future?"

"But the Japanese are powerful, so what can we do?"

"We are not going to fight them. They are powerful and have to be reasonable. This is a concession governed by foreign powers." Cheng Mo emphasized, "At least, we don't have the power to handle cases independently like Zhabei and Nanshi."

Lin Huarong stopped talking. The matter has come to this, and he can only continue to handle the case. If he gives up the problem now, he is asking for trouble.

If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. The person in charge of this case is Cheng Mo, not Lin Huarong.

There was a knock on the door.

"This is a very interesting clue. I think we need to first find out who the last known person of the victim was, and maybe we can figure out the trajectory of the victim's activities during his lifetime." Lin Huarong suggested.

And she doesn’t have a regular job. You can imagine what will happen to her and her children next. For a woman, when her husband dies, it’s like the sky has fallen.

"In this way, the possibility of love killing becomes even greater." Everyone laughed.

"Mrs. Huizi, we deeply sympathize with your husband's matter, but please forgive us. Our patrol room will do our best to help you find out the truth." Cheng Mo said when he saw Huizi.

"This guy actually had a romantic affair before he died?"

Cheng Mo went to Pingwang Street again. Nojiri was dead, but Keiko and her children lived here. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The news of Nojiri's murder has spread throughout Pingwang Street.

"Then I'll check his social connections." Xu Qinghe could only choose this.

Lu Le quickly brought in the autopsy report and handed it to Cheng Mo.

"Thank you, Inspector Cheng." Keiko's eyes were red and swollen, and she was obviously crying. With the backbone of the family gone, it would be difficult for Keiko to maintain her old life by herself.

"Both of you, these two lines have crossed. I hope you can share information. If this case is solved, the credit belongs to everyone, and not a penny will be lost!"

After the case analysis meeting, we started taking action.

Open the door.

"Let me check the victim's activities in the three days before his death." Lin Huarong thought for a moment and said.

"Yes."

Cheng Mo took a look and waved the autopsy report in his hand: "The autopsy report shows that the time of death of the victim Nojiri was probably between eight and ten o'clock in the evening. Because of the hot weather, the body spots will appear longer than normal." Earlier, the cause of death was a stab to the carotid artery, which directly cut the carotid artery and killed him with one stab. No other new injuries were found on the body, but fresh sperm spots were found on the deceased's underwear."

"Old Lin, Lao Xu, please divide the work. Don't say I am partial to anyone. There are two lines. One is to check the victim's social relationship. Since it is likely that an acquaintance committed the crime, try to find out as many people as possible who are related to the victim. The second is to check the victim's social relationship. , check the victim’s activities in the three days before his death, especially who he was with and what he did in the period from the time he got off work to the time he was killed." Cheng Mo ordered.

The forensic doctor from Laozha's arrest room appeared at the door, handed an autopsy report to Lu Le who opened the door, explained a few words, and left immediately.

"We came here just to learn about your husband's interpersonal relationships. You know, please explain to us in as much detail as possible. This will be helpful for us to solve the case." Cheng Mo asked as softly as possible.

"He doesn't have many friends, and he rarely talks about work at home."

"How is his relationship with his colleagues at work? For example, does he have any conflicts with his colleagues? What is his relationship with his boss?" "Their boss rarely shows up, and I rarely hear him mention it. There are not many people in their company. Mainly engaged in import and export trade, his usual job is to be responsible for wiring and contacting customers, but I don't know the specific customers," Keiko explained.

"Then has he brought any friends to his home?"

"No, he never brings friends home." Keiko shook her head and said.

"Does your husband drink? How does he drink?"

"Drink. He doesn't drink much, but he is very restrained and rarely gets drunk." Keiko thought for a moment and said.

"Is there anything unusual about Mr. Nojiri before he was killed?"

"There's nothing unusual, but he brought back a lot of candies when he came back the night before," Keiko said.

"Candy, can you show it to me?" Cheng Mo asked.

Keiko nodded, turned around and went back to the room to get a tin box. It looked like a can box. After eating the can inside, the box was left to put some things.

Cheng Mo took a look and saw that it was a milk candy called "Morinaga" brand. Although Cheng Mo rarely bought candies and other items.

But this Japanese brand of candy is only sold in Japanese stores in the Hongkou Concession, and is almost impossible to see in stores in the Concession.

Obviously, Nojiri had been to the HK area the day before yesterday and bought milk candies for his children at the store there.

"Thank you, can you give me a piece of this candy?" Cheng Mo reached for a piece of milk candy and asked in his hand.

"Of course." Huizi was stunned for a moment, but did not reject Cheng Mo's request.

Cheng Mo put away the milk candies.

"In addition to buying milk candies for the children, is there anything else?"

"In the evening, he drank some wine and fell asleep early. He went to work early the next morning, as usual." Keiko's eyes averted a little.

Cheng Mo noticed a bruise under Kezi's neck, but it was quickly blocked by Kezi's collar.

He didn't ask any more questions. If he asked, he probably wouldn't tell the other party.

So, he found the landlord, the old couple, and another resident of the yard to find out about the situation.

The landlord couple are old and their ears are not very good, but they said they once heard Nojiri and Keiko arguing at home.

Another person confirmed this.

Ever since Ms. Xia moved out upstairs, Nojiri and Keiko have been quarreling almost every day. Sometimes, Nojiri can be seen beating Keiko.

Their relationship as husband and wife had problems because of Miss Xia's move.

Cheng Mo pushed hard for Miss Xia's move. He even asked Xu Qinghe to help find the house. It was not far away, just two streets away from Rixinfang.

The place where Nojiri was killed is not far from Nisshinbo...

After Miss Xia moved away, was Nojiri still disconnected from her? Did the two of them continue their flirtatious relationship?

Cheng Mo felt that it was necessary for him to meet Miss Xia again.
