Chapter 27 Phone
One second, Furukawa Kumisa was glad that the Metropolitan Police Department was still in the dark about this case, and the next second, Matsuda Jinpei revealed the truth.
Still the kind of true truth.
She made a suitably surprised expression: "But... isn't it said that this case is a vicious homicide?"
Matsuda calmed down and seemed to be sorting out his words: "The surveillance cameras that destroyed the entire building, Jiu Chengliu who shouldn't have appeared at the scene, and the woman in red who last saw the victim... This series of doubts are connected.
Together, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that Tetsuya Ehara was killed.
"But if you saw the photos of the scene, you wouldn't think so."
Matsuda Jinpei placed the photos of the scene in front of Furukawa Kumisa.
Furukawa Kumisa took a general glance and saw that the photos taken when the scene was discovered were not much different from the situation when Bourbon left after completing the work that night.
Every part of the body was photographed very clearly, and even the splattered blood spots on the clothes were clearly visible.
Furukawa Kumisa only glanced at it and thought to himself: This is troublesome.
Sure enough, Matsuda Jinpei pointed to several photos of the corpse and began his reasoning.
"Look at the corpse's hand. Generally, after being stabbed unexpectedly, a normal person will subconsciously cover the wound, so that the entire palm is stained with blood.
"Although there are blood stains on both hands of the corpse, they are all spattered blood stains when being stabbed, and some are stained red by blood flowing down after death, indicating that the deceased did not cover the wound before death."
After Matsuda Jinpei said this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Furukawa Kumisa, who was looking down at the photo, and saw that her face was still as dark as water and she had no reaction.
Matsuda Jinpei continued: "There are deep indentations on the palm of the corpse's right hand. Comparing the size, it should be the mark of holding the handle of the knife, and according to the direction, it is holding the handle of the knife upright.
"Generally when someone is stabbed face to face, the victim has no chance to hold the weapon from the front. Even if he does, he will hold it backwards."
Furukawa Kumisa thought about Tetsuya Ehara's appearance that night. He was very panicked and kept shrinking his hands. It was most likely that he was holding the handle of the knife for a long time at that time for self-defense.
Perhaps if Furukawa Kumisa hadn't taken out her ID when she walked up to him, the sharp blade would have been pointed at her.
But in the end Tetsuya Ehara sent it into his body.
Matsuda Jinpei’s reasoning continued: “The most important thing is the blood spatter on the deceased’s wrists and sleeves.
"Generally, when being stabbed from the front, the normal victim's cuffs will not have this kind of blood splattering forward - unless the victim is holding the handle of the knife with both hands when being stabbed, so the sleeve will appear directly in front.
"
Furukawa Kumisa's mind was racing, thinking about how to lead the topic.
"So Officer Matsuda suspects that the victim committed suicide?" She thought for a while and asked in a normal way, "Has the murder weapon been found?"
Matsuda Jinpei looked troubled: "That's the problem. We searched the entire building and couldn't find the murder weapon."
Furukawa Kumisa was not surprised: the murder weapon was taken away by her, and after cleaning it so that even the luminol reagent could detect no trace of blood, she threw it to Watanabe Jiro.
"If the deceased committed suicide, there would be no way he would have the energy to dispose of the murder weapon." Furukawa Kumisa pointed out.
"So the problem lies with Jiecheng Liuli."
Matsuda Jinpei tapped his fingers twice on the glazed document.
"According to the testimony of the receptionist, about ten minutes after they saw Yuki Ruri and Ehara Tetsuya entering the bathroom, Yuki Ruri's housekeeper Shibata went to look for her."
Furukawa Kumisa asked cautiously: "Shibata?"
"A person appeared with the fake Miss Yuki, male, about thirty years old. I only heard Miss Yuki call him 'Shibata Butler', but the specific name is unclear.
"They entered the bathroom for about ten minutes. Shibata seemed to be in a hurry to find Miss Yusei. After the front desk informed him that Miss Yusei had entered the bathroom, he followed her in."
"Officer Matsuda, what you mean is that the murderer is not Miss Yui, but probably the housekeeper Shibata?"
Matsuda Jinpei frowned slightly when he heard this, and raised his eyes again to glance at Furukawa Kumisa.
It is true that he called Furukawa Kumisa to help with this case today, not because he was really helpless about it, but about her identity... There were some things in his heart that he wanted to confirm.
But Furukawa Kumisa's reaction was unusual.
It's not like she hit the nail on the head when she solved the case before. What she said about the case now is completely echoing his words, more like... cautiously going around in circles with him?
...Is it because you are just "assisting in solving the case" and don't want to take over the spotlight?
He thought for a moment and continued: "A few minutes after Shibata entered the bathroom, Shibata and Miss Yukinari came out together. Shibata held Miss Yukinari in his arms, and Miss Yukinari was still wearing Shibata's shirt.
coat."
Furukawa Kumisa couldn't figure out what Matsuda Jinpei meant at once: "Hmm... that means it's possible that she formed glass and committed a murder in the bathroom, and then the blood spattered on her clothes, and Shibata butler helped her deal with the aftermath?"
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows: "Is that what you think?"
Furukawa Kumisa paused: "...otherwise?"
"What if she saw Ewara Tetsuya commit suicide in front of her, and Miss Yu was greatly shocked, and was comforted and taken out by Butler Shibata, and left quickly out of fear of getting into trouble?"
Furukawa Kumisa had to admit that with the current limited clues and information, it was indeed his ability that allowed Matsuda Jinpei to push the matter to this point.
She was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "I drank too much milk tea. I'm going to the bathroom."
Matsuda Jinpei looked at her almost untouched milk tea on the table:...
Furukawa Kumisa walked into the bathroom, checked that no one was around, and dialed Amuro Toru's number.
The phone rang once and then connected: "Furukawa-san?"
When Furukawa Kumisa heard his name, he knew that there was someone next to him, so he asked: "Bourbon, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
Amuro spoke for a moment, and then Furukawa Kumisa heard him say into the phone: "Miss Azusa, I'm going to the bathroom."
After a while, the voice on the other end of the phone faded away: "Okay, Natafi."
Furukawa Kumisa got straight to the point: "Matsuda Jinpei took over Ehara Tetsuya's case and now invites me to participate in the investigation."
On the other end of the phone, Toru Amuro paused for a moment—the worst outcome had indeed happened.
He knew that Tetsuya Ehara's case would definitely be taken over by the First Investigation Division, and he also knew that Jinpei Matsuda was currently in the First Investigation Division, but he had secretly hoped that this case could be handed over to other police officers, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
Furukawa Kumisa did not understand Toru Amuro's complicated mood. She asked herself: "I want to know now, does the organization have any instructions? Regarding this case, what does the organization want it to be characterized as?"
Toru Amuro heard the implication of Furukawa Kumisa's words: "What are your plans?"
Furukawa Kumisa said solemnly: "I can lead the case to Ewara Tetsuya's suicide."
Tohru Amuro's first reaction was ridiculous. He knew Matsuda Jinpei's ability. Even if he knew that Natafi had deleted all the surveillance records, there were so many guests that night, and they would definitely trace "Yi Cheng Ruri".
From this, we learned that Jiezheng Liuli was just pretending to be someone else.
What's more, there was a witness that Jiecheng Liuli and Ehara Tetsuya entered the bathroom together. With such an obvious suspect in front of you, how could this case be led to suicide?
And if he remembered correctly, they took away the murder weapon, right?
But if the case can really lead to suicide... it will be a good result for both the organization and the police.
Toru Amuro composed himself: "If it can be classified as a suicide, that would be great. If not, let's make it a cold case."
Anyway, when the organization is destroyed, all outstanding cases can be settled together.
What Furukawa Kumisa was waiting for was this sentence: "Received."
She was about to hang up the phone when she heard Amuro softening her voice and asking: "By the way, I can't ask this afternoon. I heard from Officer Takagi that Furukawa-san was feeling unwell because of the rain yesterday. Are you feeling better now?"
?”
Furukawa Kumisa thought for a moment: Oops, it seems that Bourbon suspected that she went out again last night and ran into Takagi and the others.
She adjusted her mood: "It's okay. Last night...it was the first time I encountered that kind of thing, so I went out for a walk. I happened to meet Officer Takagi and the others on their way out and chatted for a few words."
"So that's it, then Furukawa-san should pay attention to rest."
"Okay, thank you very much, Amuro-kun, for your concern."
After a few blunt polite words, Furukawa Kumisa hung up the phone.
Gee, this bourbon is really tough.
The system spoke silently: "Host... is it possible that he really cares about your body and doesn't think so much about it?"
Furukawa Kumisa has become accustomed to her system being a love brain. She rolled her eyes: "In your eyes, the black organization is a company with such 'colleague love'?"
The system couldn't refute it. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Why did the host make this call to Bourbon? Anyway, Matsuda Jinpei has already deduced the truth. Sooner or later, he will come to the conclusion of suicide."
Furukawa Kumisa simply hated iron and steel: "Just because the truth of this case is 'suicide', I need to report it to Bourbon.
"If you were a high-level person in an organization, such as Rum, and saw that a case that was supposed to be a homicide committed by the organization was ruled a suicide, would you have any doubts in your heart?
"But if I had reported it to my boss Bourbon in advance and said that the 'suicide' result was caused by me being the one who caused it, then not only would they not doubt whether I killed Tetsuya Ehara,
They also think that my professional ability is off the charts. While I can solve the target, I can also turn this case into a suicide without anyone noticing.
"These are two completely different results. To me, the latter is naturally more beneficial."
The system sighed: "You guys live so tiringly."
Furukawa Kumisa sighed: "So, in my dream, I want to finish the strategy mission as soon as possible and go back to live a normal life."
When Furukawa Kumisa returned to his seat, Matsuda Jinpei was leaning on the back of his chair, his eyes locked on the case materials in front of him, thinking about something.
She stepped forward and said the words she had thought of in advance: "Looking at Officer Matsuda, it seems that the case of Tetsuya Ehara has been concluded. So what is the reason why you came to me for help?"
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyes and looked at her: "I want to ask you to help me repair the surveillance video."
Furukawa Kumisa gave him a strange look: "Yes, but I may not be able to do what the technical department cannot do."
Matsuda Jinpei didn't really count on her, it was just an excuse.
Furukawa Kumisa sat down and planned to talk to him about the case for a while, and finally lead him to the conclusion of suicide.
Suddenly, her daily mobile phone vibrated, and a text message popped up.
"The insurance policy for vehicle maintenance has been issued. Is Ms. Furukawa free to come out for a cup of coffee these days?"
