Chapter 53 Conditions
"This won't work. More and more people die! But... we have no progress at all!"
In Lin Xiuyi's office, Chief Matsuda said this to him in front of Lin Xiuyi. Lin Xiuyi frowned and held the report Miki and Urashima handed him, and couldn't help but feel a little difficult to make a decision.
"Listen to me, immediately order the whole city to search for Kuroda Akiji's whereabouts, otherwise we will have to sit and wait for death, what are we waiting for..."
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still indifferent, Section Chief Matsuda couldn't help but feel a little anxious to remind him. If he was responsible for such a big case, if he failed, it would mean that Lin Xiuyi would no longer be in the Metropolitan Police Department. Now, the situation no longer allows Lin Xiu to continue to delay it.
"Secretary, do you know what the report I have in my hand means? It means that Hojo Shishi, who was once detained in a Tokyo detention center, is likely to be poisoned to death. In just two years, his physical condition suddenly deteriorated greatly, and the death record did not mention his illness. And the series of recent events cannot avoid this dead former member of Congress. Do you know what this means? Kuroda Akiji... is deliberately guiding us to investigate the incident of Hojo Shishi. Whether it was the case that happened in Ginza twenty years ago or the death of Hojo Shishi a few years ago, everything was full of doubts. So... what is the truth hidden behind it...?"
"So...what are you going to do now?"
After a long silence, Chief Matsuda couldn't help but ask Lin Xiu helplessly:
"Of course I continue to investigate, but... it's not about investigating Kuroda Akiji's whereabouts, but about investigating the death of Hojo Shishi and the truth about the Ginza Empire Hotel case that year."
...
After Lin Xiuyi said this, he suddenly stood up and said to Miki and Urashima who were sitting aside:
"I remember... During the trial of the Ginza Empire Hotel, San, the mother of the dead guesthouse club, once appeared in court to testify, right?"
"Hey? Policeman, but... the other party has moved to the United States!"
"It doesn't matter, I think... My friend Sean will definitely have a solution for this kind of thing!"
...
When Lin Xiu thought of this, he took out his cell phone and sent some basic information about the mother Sang to his friend. Then, he stood up and said to Section Chief Matsuda and his subordinates:
"Maybe...when we investigate the matter about Hojo Shishi, things may turn around. So next, I want to continue to go to the Tokyo Detention Center and ask where the prisoners who knew Hojo Shishi were detained. See if they had any impression of Hojo's health at that time..."
"You're going! Then...what are we? What are we going to do next?"
When Miki heard that Lin Xiuichi was still trying to investigate Hojo Shishi's affairs regardless of his situation, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.
"You? If possible, I hope you can find more clues about Hojo Shishi's death. In addition... I would like to ask you to investigate the social relationship between Hojo Shishi and see if anyone is the object of doubt. As for seniors, if possible, can you find out with Takayama Kaishi of Sushi's Sushi's previous friendship and see if there was anything abnormal before Fukuda Haruo was killed!"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's request, Section Chief Matsuda nodded without hesitation and agreed! Lin Xiuyi picked up his coat and then left his office in Shinjuku Central Police Station.
...
When Lin Xiu returned to the Tokyo Detention Center again and again, as soon as he explained his purpose, the detention center immediately agreed to Lin Xiuyi's request. Soon, on the day of escape, he took the initiative to conflict and attracted the prison officers to notice that one of the two crimes was taken to Lin Xiuyi.
"For the first time I met, I am Lin Xiuyi, the search officer who is responsible for investigating the jailbreak this time. If possible, I would like to ask you a few questions. I wonder what you think?"
"Ah...sorry! If you want to ask Mr. Sakura Ting whereabouts, I think...I can't meet your requirements! Because...I don't know where they are now!"
"Sorry, you may have misunderstood what I mean. I came today, actually to ask about some of the situations about Mr. Shishi Hojo during his lifetime. For example..., did Mr. Hojo disclose this matter during his lifetime, which happened at the Ginza Empire Hotel twenty years ago?"
When he heard Lin Xiuyi's question, the prisoner sitting opposite him couldn't help but look at him with some confusion. At this moment, Lin Xiuyi noticed that the other party wanted to speak several times but stopped, and it seemed that it was still difficult to make up his mind.
"I think... you should be able to answer my questions! After all,... the reason you do this is to make people pay attention to Hojo Shishi!"
When the suspect heard Lin Xiuyi's straightforward statement, he was extremely surprised at first, and then it was not until a long time before he slowly came to his senses.
"Mr. Police, please... are you really willing to investigate Mr. Hojo's affairs?"
"I said that I am the search officer of this case, so... as long as it is related to the case, I will investigate it clearly!"
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you, Mr. Hojo has never hurt anyone, so... he is definitely not a murderer!"
"Sorry, your statement has not helped me. And... I have heard similar statements from Sakura Goro's statement. So... If there is no evidence, the testimony of you alone cannot prove anything!"
"Mr. Police, are you looking for evidence?"
"Yes, I must obtain evidence enough to prove Hojo Shishi's innocence to overturn the verdict that year!"
Lin Xiuyi answered unconcealedly in response to the other party's gaze.
"Then please prove your sincerity first, otherwise, how could we hand over such an important thing to a stranger who is untrustworthy!"
"So...what do you want me to do? How do you do it to win your trust?"
"Mr. Police, please find out the murderer who killed Mr. Hojo first. When you find that guy, those evidences... will naturally be sent to you!"
