I'm Not a Detective

Chapter 225 Devil’s Grass

The police lights were flashing, the black car was speeding down the street, and the vehicles along the road were scurrying to get out of the way. It was a bit of a panic. Just by looking at this scene, you can tell that Nakano Eri is a little impatient.

A retired detective due to illness died, so this case is not a small one. Now that a serving detective has died, this case is getting more serious. I don’t know what the criminal reporters will make up tomorrow - not to mention deterring criminals. The police can't even protect themselves, and their members are killed at will. How can they be expected to protect the people?

Is it time for a change of leadership and a proper overhaul?

Just thinking about it, as one of the current main persons in charge of the Criminal Division of the Hirano Police Station, she had the desire to split her head.

Of course, Takeshi Nanahara was not as worried as she was, and he couldn't scold him anyway. He used the faint light of the car's interior light to check the basic information of the victim in the back seat.

The victim's name is Hiroshi Hannishi, male, 35 years old, divorced, of "average blood", with a police rank of only inspection chief, and now serves in the criminal department of the Hirano Police Station. He was once a subordinate of Yukio Sukada, and Yukio Sugada's The relationship is probably similar to the relationship between Nakano Eri, Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji.

As for how he suddenly discovered that he had been killed...

He was on Sugada Yukio's recent visitor list. Since he was a colleague, Nakano Eri gave him priority to call him over to find out more about the situation. However, he found out that he was on leave due to injury, so he called his residence. As a result, The phone line is always busy and I can't get through at all.

Out of professional instinct, she sent her men over to take a look, and immediately discovered that he had been killed. Then she came to pick up Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi, and went to investigate the scene together.

"So, the murderer's motive was revenge?" Qingmi Ruri looked at the information and felt it was a bit similar. It was probably that Yukio Sugada and Hiroshi Hannishi had a grudge against the murderer because of a certain case, and now the murderer started killing in revenge.

Takeshi Nanabahara was noncommittal, raised his head and asked Eri Nakano: "Ms. Nakano, where is the file on the case of Kyumi Kikuma?"

Nakano Eri said while driving: "It's a bit much. I haven't sorted it out yet and copied it. I'll give it to you after sorting it out."

Qi Yuanwu nodded and said nothing more.

The vehicle was full of sparks and lightning, and soon arrived at an ordinary house in an ordinary town. At this time, several police cars had parked in front of the courtyard, and the blockade was pulled up. Patrol policemen were mobilized to guard the area. Many residents nearby were looking around.

Nakano Eri led the two of them in directly. As soon as they entered the entrance, Qingjian Liuli smelled a putrid stench and almost vomited out the kung pao chicken and braised mutton they had just eaten. However, Takeshi Nanabahara had already put it on. She knew where to take out the strange mask, and even though her sense of smell was far more sensitive than hers, she could still barely resist it.

Taiji Okuno arrived one step ahead of them. Seeing that Nakano Eri and Qingmi Ruri both looked ugly, he sighed: "The time of death was more than 24 hours, and Hannishi-san's body has been..."

The corpse was highly decomposed, and he almost vomited when he first arrived.

"Hannishi-kun died in front of Sugata-san?" Nakano Eri had resisted the urge to retching, adjusted her glasses, and asked while walking to the second floor, "What was the cause of death?"

Taiji Okuno said uncertainly: "It looks a bit like suicide at the moment, but it still needs a corpse examination by the forensic department to confirm it."

"Is it suspected of suicide?" Nakano Eri felt slightly relaxed. Although it is still unfortunate news, after all, an acquaintance of his colleagues is dead, but if it is not related to the murder case of Sugada, it is not a serious problem if it is a simple suicide case.

While talking to Taiji Okuno, she went to the master bedroom on the second floor and only glanced at the door. Even though she had been working on the front line for half a year and had seen many mutilated corpses, her scalp was still numb, and she instinctively didn't want to go in and take a look. Look - Hannishi Hiroshi died miserably, with his back against the wall, sitting on the tatami with his long legs stretched out, with his chest exposed and his abdomen exposed. He held a utility knife in his right hand. It looked like he had disemboweled himself and his internal organs were stained with blood. It dripped all over the ground and was highly corrupted. It even attracted a large number of flies and gave birth to white maggots.

It's hard to explain. As a human being, we instinctively don't want to look at it a second time. At the same time, we also understand why the whole house smells like this when the time to die is only one day.

The corpse decomposed much faster than normal, especially the internal organs, which basically decomposed into a mush.

Qing Jian Liuli's scalp was numb after seeing it. This was such a tragic death. She subconsciously held Takeshi Nanabaru's hand. But Takeshi Nanabahara also looked ugly when he was wearing a homemade filter mask. He didn't want to go in. He just wanted to take people's money. Working with others to eliminate disasters still has to be done. No matter how reluctant you are, you must see the scene.

That is to say, to search for the mysterious person

He took a breath, put on gloves and disposable shoe covers and went in. He first looked at the body carefully, then looked at the "murder weapon" utility knife, then walked around the bedroom and picked up a dumpling. He looked at the wine bottle on the tatami, poured a little bit of the remaining wine from it, and applied it to the back of his hand. He let it dry for a while, smelled it carefully, then poured it back and looked into the eyes of the deceased. Finally, he walked to the bedroom window and rubbed the wine bottle. He lifted the heavy curtains and began to inspect the windows.

"Is it suicide?" Qingjian Liuli asked in a low voice. Judging from the hand and posture of the deceased holding the knife, she felt that it was.

Takeshi Nanahara shook his head, opened the window, took out a small flashlight from his pocket, looked at the wall below the window, and then looked at the drainage pipe next to it.

Qing Jian Liuli also stretched her head and looked under the window, "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"

Takeshi Nanahara ignored her, glanced at her twice and left the bedroom. He also pulled Eri Nakano out and said, "Let the forensics class test the bottle of wine first. There is no need to do regular poison testing, just analyze the chemistry inside." Just the ingredients.”

"Not suicide?" Nakano Eri asked sharply.

"There are windows." Takeshi Nanahara did not answer, "Someone climbed in through the window."

Nakano Eri adjusted her glasses and turned around to give the order. Takenori Nanahara came closer to Qing Jian Liuli, finally took a small breath and walked out of the house again, and even ordered: "Follow me, don't stay too far away from me. "

Needless to say, Qingjian Liuli was definitely going to follow him. She didn't pay attention to his nonsense and just asked out of curiosity: "Is the wine poisonous?"

Takeshi Nanahara didn't hide anything, and said casually: "It's not poison, it's medicine. It's mixed with belladonna extract, and it's been specially treated. It's probably a certain classical formula. The murderer should know a lot about traditional herbal medicine."

"Uh... what is belladonna?" Qingjian Liuli heard this name for the first time and didn't quite understand it.

"A natural hallucinogen nicknamed 'Devil's Grass', together with 'Witch Messenger' Heliotrope and 'Dream Fruit' Datura, are collectively known as the three ancient anesthetics and hallucinogens, which are often used In the so-called communication with gods, or in sacrificing to demons, some people would also use it to make sweat medicine, which was very widely used in the past."

Takeshi Nanabaru explained casually, "Of course, in addition to doing bad things, belladonna also has very high medicinal value. It can be used to relieve pain and spasm, and can also be used as a mydriatic. During the Renaissance, some women would use special treatments to The diluted liquid is dropped into the eyes to dilate the pupils and make the eyes look more beautiful, which is regarded as a primitive beauty product."

Qingjian Ruri finally understood, and said thoughtfully: "So, the murderer is here, using belladonna as a hallucinogen. It seems that Sakanishi-san committed suicide, but in fact he was in a state of hallucination, and he... …Have your belly been cut?”

"It looks like this at the moment. As long as some inducement is added, it can indeed kill people." As Takeshi Nanabahara spoke, he had come to the back of the house, but he did not get close to the bedroom window on the second floor. He only held a flashlight to shine on the ground in the distance.

Qing Jian Liuli was still thinking about "psychedelic killing techniques" and asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

Takeshi Nanahara shined a flashlight at the drainage pipe vertical to the ground - it is used to prevent water and snow from accumulating on the roof. Hiroshi Hannishi's house is quite old. "Looking for traces, someone climbed to the second floor along the drainage pipe, and then jumped down." He jumped, grabbed the window sill outside the bedroom, put one foot on the wall to maintain his strength, and kept secretly watching Hiroshi Hannishi, waiting for him to drink the bottle of drugged wine, and then went in to induce him to kill him."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the drain pipe again, "This thing is not for climbing. It has little load-bearing capacity. It doesn't look deformed now. The murderer should be thin and well-trained. He has very good skills. At the same time, He was also very confident in his own skills. The drain pipe was still some distance from the window sill, so he jumped over it without hesitation, which was quite impressive."

Qingjian Liuli also looked at the drainage pipe, and hummed a little dissatisfied: "It's just the second floor, I can easily climb up, it's nothing special."

She was good at climbing trees when she was a child. She felt that this thing was easier to climb than a tree. If she tried to kill Hannishi Hiroshi, she could do the same.

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "You must know something in your mind. You are so fat and usually neither light nor heavy. If I asked you to jump from the drain pipe to the window sill, the drain pipe would have been kicked crooked by you. You are like this Pig Brain, the reason why he is so skilled is because he barely left any traces, but you would have crooked and broken the drain pipe!"

"You put...what, you are fat!" Qingjian Liuli was startled for a moment, and became even more dissatisfied, "During the previous physical examination, I was only 96 pounds. Where is the fat? If I climb up and jump, the drainage pipe will never be possible. Twist it and break it!"

Takeshi Nanahara looked her up and down, sneered, and didn't bother to argue with her.

She wants to weigh 96 pounds and he will walk upside down from now on.

He turned around and found a blue hat from the forensics department and asked him to seal up the backyard first and conduct a careful search after dawn tomorrow to see if he could find any clues such as footprints and dropped objects.

There is a high probability that it is not available, but it is safer to search.

He was doing business, and Qing Jian Liuli couldn't continue to quarrel with him, so he could only follow him with a straight face, a little angry - this piece of shit looks down on people all day long, and sooner or later he will kill him.

Well, just climb from the drain pipe to the second floor, jump directly into his bedroom, and kick him to death to see if he still dares to call the heroine fat!

Is it legal to dare to say that the heroine is fat? !

Regardless of whether she was angry or not, Takesai Nanahara asked people to protect the scene, and started wandering around Hannishi's house again, looking at everything, even ordering her to open the trash can and look through it.

Qingmi Ruri knew that he was "hot reading" Hanxi Hiroshi and that the overall situation was the most important thing. Even if he was angry, he cooperated honestly. After he finished walking around Hanxi's house, he asked with a straight face: "What can you see?" Already?"

Takeshi Nanahara closed the photo album in his hand and said thoughtfully: "This guy has something on his mind and is under a lot of psychological pressure. He started drinking about five years ago. His life and work are in a mess. He probably failed several cases and was transferred or He was demoted and got divorced because of it. After the divorce, his personal life became even worse, and his life was worse than that of an ordinary bachelor."

Qingjian Liuli said in surprise: "He has something on his mind, what's on his mind?"

"I don't know. He hid it very deep and didn't leave any clues. It's probably something serious." General Qiyuan put the photo album back and stood up and said, "He is quite decent and has a sense of justice. He can be considered a good person, but It is certain that he has something on his mind, but his life has been quite depressing in recent years. For example, he used to value his family quite a bit, and would always take time to go out with his wife and children every year. Even if time was tight, he would go to amusement parks and zoos in Hirano. There are quite a few group photos left, but there haven’t been any since five years ago.”

Qingmi Ruri said thoughtfully: "If it was five years ago, and Kikuma Kumi died five and a half years ago, would that case be his concern?"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded: "The possibility is very high. Let's go and ask to see if Kikuma Kumi's fingerprints are found here."

They went to find Nakano Eri together. Nakano Eri's face was very ugly, but of course it was not directed at them. When she heard their purpose, she immediately asked her subordinates to ask if the result was obtained - she also suspected that this case had something to do with Kikuma Kumi. Regarding this, he ordered the forensics department to start manual comparison of fingerprints early on.

Just comparing one person's fingerprints, even if done manually, is still quite fast. Soon someone from the forensics class came over to report that among the fingerprints sampled and extracted in the house, there were indeed those that Kikurama had seen, and there were more fingerprints than those at Sugada's house - on the tables and chairs in the living room, the stair railings, and the refrigerator. They all found the fingerprints of Kyumi Kikujana. There were dozens of them, and not all of them.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Hiroshi Hannishi, a divorced bachelor, doesn't clean very much. If it were a person like Takeshi Nanahara who had a free housekeeping robot, he would wipe everything once or twice a day, and 99% of it would have been wiped away.

The case was thus determined that the death of Hiroshi Nissaka was significantly related to Yukio Sugata and Hisami Kikujama, and Hisami Kikujama had indeed "resurrected from the dead" and was "revenge of the dead."

With such a big stunt, it is estimated that at least a dozen criminal reporters will go crazy tomorrow. In terms of public opinion, the police station's press officer is absolutely unable to suppress it.

Nakano Eri asked someone to take another large handbag and handed it directly to Takeshi Nanabahara, "Nanahara, this is all the information about Kumi Kikuma. Please do me a favor and take a look at it overnight. Find him as soon as possible. The sooner, the better." good!"

After a pause, she added, "The consulting fee can be calculated as before."

It was no longer the time to save money. She just wanted to solve the case quickly. Not to mention the original price, even if Takeshi Nanahara wanted to increase it, she could negotiate it. Fortunately, Takeshi Nanahara still has professional ethics. He motioned Qingmi Ruri to take the information and said with a smile: "It's as much as it should be. It's not popular in our industry to raise prices on the ground, but... Hanxi Shihiro's police gun was lost? "

Nakano Eri's face became even uglier. She probably had this look on her immediate boss Wu Tōan's face even after he died. He nodded and said, "Yes, he didn't save the gun during his vacation. He only found the holster before."

In any country with a sound legal system, it is not a trivial matter for the police to lose their guns, especially in Japan.

Here, if a policeman commits suicide with a police gun, he will be held accountable even if he dies, not to mention that the police gun is leaked - who knows what the murderer is going to do with it, if something big happens and a few innocent people are killed or... As a well-known person, if he has to implicate a lot of people and be punished, public opinion will be more passive.

We must find the murderer as quickly as possible, and at least get the gun back first!
