I'm Not a Detective

Chapter 44 I vaguely sense the smell of gunpowder smoke

Qingmi Ruri couldn't think of anything after holding it in for a long time. Nakano Eri also returned to the car from Matsuuchi's house. She sat in the driver's seat and was silent for a moment. She fastened her seat belt and glanced at the rearview mirror. She saw that Takeshi Nanahara had no reaction. He started the vehicle and drove straight towards the Hirano Police Station.

She had nothing to say, so she knocked on the door of Matsuuchi's house again. After apologizing, she asked a series of questions in the form of questions. Matsuuchi Yuki answered exactly what Takeshi Nanabahara said, and looked at her at that time. It's like watching a miracle.

Very strong, really strong. Anyway, this was the first time she met a person like Takeshi Nanahara, and she couldn't help but admire him.

So she was sure that Takeshi Nanahara is indeed very talented. Regardless of whether he is a professional liar or a reserve soldier (she heard Wu Tengyasu said, this idea is a bit shaken now), he is really talented. As long as he has talent, he can assist the police. Solving the case is enough, she doesn't care about anything else.

At most, one day in the future he would be arrested for fraud. Seeing how good he was at cheating, she could find a way to arrange a private room for him in the detention center so that he would receive fewer beatings.

She didn't mention it again, and Takeshi Nanahara just smiled and let it go. He sat in the back seat and tilted his head to look at the scenery. Together with Qingmi Ruri, who had been thinking hard, the three of them quickly arrived at the police station.

Nakano Eri is familiar with the road. After arriving at the police station, he led Takeshi Nanabahara and Ruri Kiyomi directly out of the car and entered. The veteran police officer stood in front of the police station holding a wooden stick (stick) to promote the authority of the police. To deter lawless people and improve the stability of residents, the uniformed patrol officer at the gate didn't even look at Qi Yuan Wuqing and Liuli. He didn't even need to register, and just saluted and let him go.

This is the first time in Qingmi Ruri's life that she has entered a police station. Even though the building at the Hirano Police Station is not much different from an ordinary office building, she is still very excited. After all, she will most likely work here in the future.

Humph, Liuli Police stepped into the police station for the first time, it is very memorable!

She became excited again, pure and simple, and wanted to discuss with others, but unfortunately no one ignored her. The three of them quickly followed the stairs to a large office room in the criminal department on the fourth floor. There was a piece of paper on the door with the words " The calligraphy was crookedly written with the words "Bunhe Murder Incident Investigation Headquarters" written in large characters.

Pushing the door open and walking in, it was a mess inside. A dirty ceiling fan hung from the ceiling. There were several whiteboards and desks scattered about below. The desks were filled with files, empty lunch boxes and instant noodles. Only one corner of the room looked cleaner. There was a big-ass computer covered with a gray-white cloth. At first glance, I thought the computer was dead and shutting down.

Overall, it is completely different from the Japanese drama. Rather than being the office of an elite detective, it is actually more like an unscrupulous company that specializes in exploiting dispatched employees.

Liuli Jingjing couldn't accept it for a moment and was dumbfounded. Qi Yuanwu no longer found her annoying now and started to get closer to her again. He no longer felt that the money and treatment Wu Teng'an had given him before were generous enough. I feel a little bit shortchanged and it feels like I’ve worked hard all day. It’s time to think about asking my employer to raise my salary.

"You are finally here, Nanahara-san, Nakano-san, and Kiyomi-san. Hello." There were only two people in the search headquarters, and they were flipping through various documents. When they saw them coming in, they hurriedly said hello. It was Okuno Taiji and Hijiri. There are two low-qualified criminal police officers in the high division.

Qingmi Ruri was very happy to see them. After all, they were acquaintances. She immediately asked happily: "Officer Okuno, Officer Hidaka, have you been transferred here too?" Then he turned around and looked around, and said strangely, " Are you the only ones here, where are the others?"

"There is no one else. The search headquarters was disbanded last night, saying it had other tasks." Taiji Okuno answered patiently, "Now this case is under the responsibility of Miss Nakano, and the two of us are responsible for assisting her."

Nakano Eri is in charge of the case, which is just a nice official statement. Although she is a formal police officer who has passed the national civil servant second-class special examination, and is from the pure-blood quasi-professional group, she is better than Okuno and Hidaka, who passed the first-class civil servant examination. The quasi-professional group who comes out should have a purer bloodline, and will most likely be able to work at the road police headquarters in the future, but she is only a criminal police officer in name.

Her university major is secretarial management, and she is a affairs officer of the Criminal Department, equivalent to Wu Teng'an's senior secretary. Her daily job is to assist her boss in handling all kinds of messy documents, and also manage the small treasury of the Criminal Department and some trivial chores.

Of course, the latter is a rumor, and Okuno Taiji cannot be sure, but there is no problem that Nakano Eri is Wu Tengyasu's confidant. According to rumors, the two have a special relationship. There are some rumors in the police station, but she has not been involved since she took office. I have never experienced any cases, and at most I ordered bento lunches from a certain investigative headquarters during my internship. My ability to solve crimes is basically zero.

Therefore, this case was actually assigned to Takeshi Nanabahara. Even Okuno and Hidaka, two junior detectives with low qualifications, were conveniently sent to help. They could be used to subdue criminals when necessary. After all, two high school students and a white-bone demon It seems that the combat effectiveness is very worrying, and it will be bad if something tragic happens in the world - Wu Teng'an has considered it very comprehensively. Anyway, Okuno and Hidaka are too young and cannot be used by others, so it doesn't matter much.

Qingmi Ruri suddenly remembered what Takeshi Nanahara said before. It seemed that the criminal policemen who originally searched the headquarters were transferred away to prepare to form a special operations team. They might be sent to Sapporo soon to handle cases in other places to crack down on gangs. , I just used rookie eggs to cover this case, and I just hope that Takeshi Nanabahara can do a good job.

This was a good thing. She immediately looked at Takeshi Nanahara, looking forward to his performance. Takeshi Nanahara simply did his duty and immediately directed Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji to find all the photos of the scene and Yuuto Matsunai's belongings when he was killed. Come out, he wants to see.

Qingjian Liuli also took a second look. After all, she was also a "veteran troublemaker" who had seen two corpses. Even though many of the close-up photos were bloody and uncomfortable, her performance was much better this time and she was not as shaking as before. It was amazing, but she still didn't understand how cutting the throat could help find the suspect.

After a while, Takeshi Nanabahara briefly checked Matsuuchi Yuuto's belongings through the transparent evidence bag, raised his head and said with a smile: "I remember there was a list of more than 70 suspects before, please give it a try. Go check the gun license record and cross-check it with the list, maybe the suspect is in it."

"Uh..." Okuno Taiji didn't move. After looking at Hidakaji, he was a little suspicious that Takeshi Nanahara didn't understand the case. He reminded, "Nanahara-san, when we handed over the information before, I heard that Yuuto Matsouchi was raped by a man. "The stabbing to death with a sharp weapon with no obvious features, a thin blade, slightly longer than the palm of your hand, and very easy to carry, has nothing to do with guns."

Takeshi Nanahara shook his head and said: "I vaguely sensed the smell of gunpowder smoke. The murderer should be a person who often comes into contact with guns, so I feel the need to compare. I'm sorry to bother you."

Okuno Taiji once again looked at Hidakaji, and then looked at the nominal new boss Nakano Eri. Nakano Eri raised his glasses and felt that there was no problem. Japan is a country with extremely strict gun control. It is not inferior to China in this regard. It's very convenient to just adjust the records. Besides, Takeshi Nanahara has proven his ability. His words will not be misguided and cooperation must be given.

She went there with Okuno and Hidaka. In the early 1990s, most of the comparison lists had to be done manually. The computer in the room looked like a performance project. It was not as useful as a few keystrokes in 2022. That's it. It will definitely take some time. Takeshi Nanabahara moved a chair and directed Qingmi Ruri to wipe him carefully. He sat at the window to breathe in the fresh air and continued to look through Yuuto Matsunai's book collection.

Qingjian Liuli diligently helped him, and even took out a bottle of pure water that she brought with her to ask him to moisten his throat, and then asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me now?"

She was almost suffocated, but Takeshi Nanabahara said calmly: "We'll wait until we compare the list. Maybe there's not a single person with a gun on the list, and I'll have to think of something else."

Qingjian Liuli said quickly: "It doesn't matter if you don't. I just want to know what you think, and I am your assistant and your partner. If you have any ideas, you should tell me. Otherwise...otherwise how can I help you?" ."

Please teach me, I'm so anxious. If you don't teach me, I won't be able to defeat you in the future!

Takema Nanahara was reading with gusto, and was unhappy to be interrupted. He looked at her speechlessly for a while, but he still expected her to serve as an air freshener, a humanoid autonomous household robot, and a stab-proof suit, so he didn't talk to her. Be careful - if she hadn't been there just now, he would probably have turned around and gone home. There is no way to make money, but the idea of ​​letting her go temporarily may have been wrong. This guy has too many shits, so he may still have to continue. Her wool, set the rules for her.

He shook his head, thinking about it in his mind, and asked: "You also saw the photos of the scene just now, what do you think the murder process was like?"

Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a moment, biting her fingers and muttered: "The murder process... Yuuto Matsunai had a press conference that night. The murderer knew this and lurked near his house early, and even hid in the yard in advance, waiting for him After entering the yard, he suddenly rushed out and approached him, stabbed him several times, and finally stabbed him again, that's probably it?"

"Absolutely." Takeshi Nanabahara had been thinking about this issue at Matsuuchi's house before, and nodded, "The murderer stabbed Matsuuchi Yuuto's lungs with the first stab, so that he couldn't even scream loudly, but This was probably unintentional. The murderer probably didn't have much experience in attacking people with a knife, and he didn't care whether he screamed loudly or not.

Then for the second stab, Yuuto Matsunai subconsciously waved his hand to resist, leaving a resistance wound on his arm, but it didn't have much effect, and he was still stabbed in the chest. Then the murderer stabbed him again, hitting him in the abdomen. Nai Yuren lost his balance at this time and fell down, his wound was very large.

The frequency of these three cuts was very fast and fatal enough. Unless there happened to be a surgeon and an operating room nearby, Yuuto Matsunai was basically dead. However, the murderer still stabbed him after he fell to the ground and bent down again. Isn't it strange that I cut his throat? "

Qingjian Liuli said blankly: "It's just a last-ditch attack. I guarantee he will die..."

Takeshi Nanahara shook his head and said: "It's understandable to hit him again, but Yuuto Matsunai had completely lost his ability to resist at that time. Even if the murderer just hit him again, he just bent down and stabbed him in the chest and neck a few times. Why did he choose to cut his throat?" Why did you leave such a long wound on Matsuuchi Yuuto's neck? That requires adjusting the way you hold the knife. Why would he ask for that trouble? "

"Maybe he did it subconsciously and didn't think too much..." Qingjian Liuli also subconsciously argued with Qiang Yuanwu. Only the best assistant can be a good assistant.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care about this and nodded: "Yes, that is the murderer's subconscious action and his habit. So who has this habit?"

"Uh..." Qingmi Ruri thought for a while, then cautiously asked, "Professional killer? Maybe the murderer cut Matsunai Yuuto's throat from behind with the first blow, and the rest of the wounds were caused by follow-up blows."

Takeshi Nanabahara looked at her speechlessly for a while and sighed: "Everyone knows that cutting the throat is the most deadly. The murderer cut his throat with the first knife. There is no need to patch up so many knifes here and there. Matsuuchi Yuki even more It’s impossible to hear your husband’s voice in the house, and I’ve told you not to watch TV shows anymore, but why are all the professional killers coming out? Do you really want to dig a hole in the backyard?”

Well, it seemed impossible. Qingjian Ruri was convinced and asked in confusion: "So who would have this habit?"

Takeshi Nanahara narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression became a little colder, but he crossed his legs to indicate that his legs were a little sore and asked her to pound them. He said softly: "In Hirano, I can think of only one kind of person who has this habit. ——The murderer is a hunter, a person with experience in hunting big game. He is not the kind of fake hunter who shoots two rabbits and deer under the supervision of security guards during an outing, but a person who will team up with others during the hunting season. Mountain forests, hunters hunting wild deer, wild boars, and even bears.

He will track the prey's tracks, make careful preparations, ambush in places such as water sources and animal trails, and wait calmly for the prey to enter the attack range. After successfully knocking down the prey with a shotgun, he will cut the prey's throat with a knife. Show a small amount of kindness by allowing it to die quickly to reduce the prey's suffering.

This is also a ritual, a conquest ceremony, which represents that he has conquered this ferocious prey that can pose a threat to him, and is the conqueror who controls its life. This is often the most exciting moment in the entire hunt, so only Only a hunter or a senior hunting enthusiast would develop this habit. After stabbing Yuuto Matsunai, he did not repair the stabbing, subconsciously adjusted the posture of holding the knife, and cut his throat, even before cutting his throat. Sometimes, they would look at him with eyes full of control - the moment before Yuuto Matsuuchi died, the murderer felt that he was prey, at least subconsciously. "

At this point, Qingmi Ruri completely understood. She squatted there and subconsciously beat Takeshi Nanabahara's legs, muttering: "In addition, gun control in Japan is extremely strict. Random inspections are often required during non-hunting seasons to prevent private modification of guns. During the hunting season, you must check and register when entering the mountains. A hunter who will go into the mountains to hunt large animals, or a senior hunting enthusiast, will definitely have a legal shotgun in his hand, so you want to check it out. Gun license, anyone who has been in contact with Matsunai Yuu recently, whoever has a gun license will be suspected of murder!"

Damn it, I didn’t expect the answer to be so simple. Suddenly, the list of more than 70 suspects was reduced countless times. The case might be solved soon...

Bastard, why didn't I expect that he had already said that cutting one's throat was suspicious!
