Chapter 913 We are all adults, what's wrong with watching the spring?
Sato doesn't know much about figures. After all, she is a girl, and she joined the Metropolitan Police Department almost immediately after graduating from his only hobby is catching people.
Or in other words, beat up the criminal?
At this time, Sato did not notice Chiba's pitiful appearance. She picked up the figurine and looked at it curiously: "But to be honest, this toy is quite exquisitely made..."
"Sister, you'd better not move."
Fujino walked slowly to her side and said, "This thing is a very valuable limited edition."
"A valuable limited edition?"
Miwako Sato tilted her head in confusion: "How much can a small piece of iron be worth?"
"You really don't understand..."
Fujino said helplessly, "Astro Boy, Space Knight, Iron Warriors... Isn't the song "Itsuka Booming Kaze Uta" that you often sing in karaoke the theme song of Iron Warriors?"
"I haven't heard of it..."
Sato shook his head slightly, "I just thought I sounded like it, so I learned it."
"Come to think of it, the person singing this song is your CV..."
"what are you saying?"
"Nothing said."
Fujino looked at the pile of figures in front of him and said, "I don't know much about figures, but this pile of stuff should be worth several million yen."
"It's not that bad..."
Speaking of figures, the fat boy Chiba Kazunobu was much more energetic and said with a smile: "But the figure that Officer Sato held is indeed a limited edition. I spent more than 100,000 yen to buy it. If I sell it now, it will indeed cost 200,000 yen."
"Eh?!"
Surprised, Sato carefully put the figurine back and said, "Such a small thing is actually worth 200,000 yen... I can't understand it at all."
Fujino was not surprised by Sato's reaction: "So, these things have appreciation value. As the old saying goes, a wall for an otaku is a house in Tokyo. And it's a house that has only had one murder. If you break it, Chiba will be heartbroken."
"Cough hum!"
Seeing that they were running further and further away, the veteran detective, Nagasuke, coughed lightly and said, "Chiba-kun, where is the evidence that you all watched a movie together today?"
"Oh, I'll let it out right away."
Chiba responded, searched for the videotape in his hand, and then inserted it into the player beside him.
Then, Yoko Okino dressed as a cook appeared on TV: "This is Yoko Okino's Four Minutes of Cooking. Today is Friday, September 19th, and we're bringing you Japanese-style mushroom omelette rice!"
"Good Morning 4: Okino Yoko's -Minute Cooking Time" Chiba records it every morning when he wakes up, and today was no exception.
There are two VCRs on site, but one of them needs to be connected to the front panel of the TV in order to play.
So the possibility that Kato committed the crime can basically be ruled out.
Miwako Sato was very surprised that Chiba could cook: "I didn't expect that Chiba could cook?"
"Well..."
Qianye smiled awkwardly: "It doesn't matter whether I cook or not, I mainly like to collect Miss Yoko's programs."
As he spoke, he also took out a newspaper program list: "Except for Good Morning 7 o'clock, all the TV programs after that are available, and they are also marked with the corresponding ones we want to watch..."
"There are so many annotations, even cable TV is labeled...you really have a lot of programs to watch."
Miwako Sato looked at the densely packed red circles and couldn't help but complain: "Even the TV is covered with sticky notes reminding people to watch it."
Qianye smiled awkwardly and said, "After all, there are many anime series I want to watch."
At this moment, the old police officer Chang Jie, who had been observing silently, asked sharply: "So what did you and your friend do after eight o'clock in the morning?"
"Well..."
Chiba's face turned grim and he glanced at Sato Miwako.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, her face flushed, and then she asked with her hands on her hips, "You're not watching an adult movie, are you?"
"How could I possibly watch that..."
"Chiba, it's okay to have some hobbies or something." Fujino looked like he understood everything and patted him on the shoulder: "We are all adults, what's wrong with watching some springs?"
After a pause, he continued, "Although it feels a bit like social death to display my treasures in public, this is all for the sake of solving the case!"
Chiba: "..."
"Hey, you're still in high school, right?"
Sato, who was standing by, voiced Chiba's inner complaints, and said with dissatisfaction, like a mature older sister teaching a younger brother, "How can a high school student watch such an unhealthy thing?"
"Come on, I'm eighteen, okay?"
Fujino said speechlessly: "Besides, this thing is not something to be ashamed of. Do you know how much tax this thing has contributed to Japan?"
Miwako Sato thought about it and suddenly realized that part of her salary was indeed tax from this thing?
Unable to think of any reason to refute, she crossed her arms across her chest with some resentment: "Anyway, you are not allowed to shiver!"
"Sister, why are you reacting like a little girl?"
Fujino glanced at her suspiciously: "This is not a country that forbids any part below the neck. You haven't seen this kind of thing before, have you?"
Sato was angry and bitter: "The key is who would bring such a thing to the table!"
"Well, actually it's not that!"
Chiba interrupted the two people who were bickering, took a videotape from the shelf nearby and inserted it into the player.
Then, with a dynamic BGM, a man riding a motorcycle appeared on the TV screen, shaking his head.
"The approaching Shocker, the cruel demon army!"
"It appeared, and Classic looked around."
Fujino listened to the images coming from the TV, looked at the TV screen and asked, "This is the first generation of Kamen Rider Y, right?"
"That's right..."
Qianye was surprised for a moment: "I didn't expect that you, Mr. Fujino, also knew about this. I thought that someone your age should not have seen it. After all, the Platinum Thunder Blade is now just for children."
"The first generation of Mask has a bit of a horror tone to it, so it should be a special effects film for adults."
"That's right, I didn't expect that you, Mr. Fujino, are also a fan of tokusatsu."
"Well, I'm also a tokusatsu fan, I guess."
Miwako Sato glanced at the two people who were chatting happily and was a little speechless: "Kamen Rider or something, I heard from Yumi that there was a guy dressed as Kamen Rider and flying wildly on the road... So, you guys are all grown up, why do you like to watch this kind of children's cartoons?"
"Men are killed by teenagers."
Fujino crossed his arms and said seriously: "You women don't understand men's romance."
"So you're still a teenager, right?"
Sato complained speechlessly, turned to Chiba and asked: "But if it's just this kind of cartoon, why are you hiding it?"
"It's because you said that, Officer Sato, that I..."
Qianye felt numb and sighed, "This was recorded in three times slow motion, even the commercials are included. There are twelve episodes of thirty minutes each, a total of six hours."
"We were watching the video from 8 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the baseball game from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon was broadcast, and then the program after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and then you came here. This should prove that Kato is not the murderer, right?"
"What about when you were watching the video tape?" The old police chief asked again, "Were you and your friend watching the video tape the whole time?"
"This is not..."
Qianye thought for a moment and said, "I took a shower in the middle, but it only took thirty minutes."
"If that's the case, then the suspicion can indeed be ruled out."
Sato Miwako pondered, "Even if there's no traffic jam, it should take dozens of minutes to get here. If there's a traffic jam, it will take even longer. And Chiba, you and he were together at the time, so your alibi is established."
"right?"
Qianye smiled and said, "So, Kato can't be the murderer."
"That's right, your suspicion of me is actually unreasonable."
Kato said, sighing: "But it's not your fault. After all, I do have some grudge against that Nakamoto."
"Have a grudge?"
Chiba sighed and explained, "Kato went on a business trip abroad a year ago. When he returned a month ago, he found out that Miss Shimura was with Mr. Nakamoto and they were even getting married."
"He was still very angry at first, but after I persuaded him for a while, he let it go. Because he originally lived with Miss Shimura, and now he had no place to live, he moved into my house."
"My goodness, this is still NTR..."
Fujino's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but complain: "Why do I feel like Nakamoto's death seemed to be a worthy one?"
"right?"
Kato nodded fiercely, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes: "To be honest, if Chiba hadn't persuaded me, I might have really killed that guy. But fortunately, God has eyes. I don't know who this guy offended, and he was killed directly. If you catch the murderer, I really have to thank him."
Fujino: "..."
Why are you stacking up the BUFFs here?
'Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of the police?'
Miwako Sato looked speechlessly at the two people in front of her who were clapping their hands, and secretly complained in her heart.
Although this guy who got together with someone else's girlfriend is really bad.
But he is a policeman after all, and there are some things he cannot say.
She said helplessly: "If that's the case, then we can indeed pack up and investigate other clues."
"Om..."
At this moment, the cell phone in Fujino's pocket suddenly vibrated.
He took out his phone and took a look at it: "Speaking of new clues, new clues have arrived. We already have a photo of the suspect."
"Yes?"
Sato was stunned for a moment and looked at his phone: "Could it be that hacker friend of yours again?"
"Yes, that's him. I'll send you the photo."
The Third Section of the Investigation Division 1 had already heard of Megure's group and Fujino's hacker friend. The hacker helped find the clues for the last bomb case, so Sato Miwako naturally knew about it as well.
Miwako Sato looked at the MMS photo transferred to her mobile phone and touched her fair chin. "Black coat, gray backpack. Unfortunately, most of it was covered by the rain, and the face can't be seen. It looks like it should be taken this morning. After all, it was raining at that time..."
Hearing this, Qianye asked in confusion: "Did it rain this morning?"
"Of course."
Sato Miwako nodded and replied, "It rained from early morning until about nine o'clock. I was working on a case outside and was almost drenched by the rain."
"I didn't notice..."
Looking at the confused Chiba, Kato was suddenly stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "We were watching TV at home all day today, and the window curtains were drawn to block the light, so of course he didn't notice it!"
"That's true."
Fujino stared at the two people in front of him, noticed the unnaturalness, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the same time, the old policeman Changjie behind the two of them also opened his slightly narrowed eyes a little.
The two of them just stared at Kato beside Chiba.
The old police officer Changjie spoke first: "Speaking of which, since the criminal is wearing a gray coat and a black backpack, let's search here just in case..."
"Well, I think it's okay."
Fujino looked at him and agreed, "This way, we can completely get rid of Mr. Kato's suspicion."
"That's exactly what it should be."
The two looked at each other, their narrowed eyes meeting each other.
After confirming through eye contact, I met the right person!
The old police officer Changjie retracted his gaze and said, "Fujino and I will investigate the entrance, kitchen, and toilet. Chiba, you stay here and cooperate with Sato to investigate the living room and bedroom."
"Well, Officer, I'm not at work today..."
Qianye had some objections: "Besides, this is my room. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Don't be so unkind..."
The old police officer Changjie walked to the entrance and said, "Besides, there is no such thing as a day off for policemen. By the way, you can also send your friend to the police car and wait for a while. After all, he is a suspect."
"All right……"
Takagi Nagasuke is an old police officer and still has some say and deterrent power among the police, so Chiba didn't say much and started the action.
The entrance of the Chiba family.
While Takagi Nagasuke was searching the shoe cabinet on top of the room, he asked Fujino in a calm tone, "You should have noticed it too, right?"
"Of course I noticed it. When he mentioned the suspect's appearance, he already seemed to be a little off."
Fujino put his hands in his pockets and said, "Later, when he mentioned the rain, his expression became even more strange. So, he is definitely a suspect. We can't take Chiba's words seriously. After all, there is a possibility that he is acting as a false witness."
As he said this, he looked at Officer Changjie with a half-smile and said, "Is this also the reason why you stood in front of the window and watched Qianye go out to see someone off, and asked him to act with Sato?"
"You are just as smart as that Megure guy said."
Takagi Nagasuke narrowed his eyes, his expression unrecognizable, as if he was sighing, "You have to admire today's young people... An old man like me has been a police officer for more than 30 years to be able to understand some of the tricks, but young people can see through it at a glance."
"It was just a fluke."
"If it was just luck, you wouldn't have solved so many cases."
Takagi Nagasuke was not the type to say polite words: "Since we have confirmed his suspicion, all we have left now is to produce evidence of the murder..."
"If you're talking about evidence, I already have it."
Fujino took out his cell phone and said calmly, "I have had someone find the car the criminals drove when they fled the scene. The address is in a nearby parking lot."
"Very cunning."
Takagi Nagasuke commented, then looked at Fujino and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you didn't tell him in advance just to trick him, right?"
"Some things always require some room for maneuver."
Fujino chuckled. "Treating a prisoner is almost like walking a dog. Just stop when it's enough. If the dog is really desperate, it will be bad for everyone."
