Chapter 914 How about you resist?
"That's a very apt description..."The old detective Chang Jie was still searching the shoe cabinet: "Now that the suspect has been identified and the evidence points to him, what remains is to identify him, find evidence to confirm his identity, and find the method of committing the crime."
He looked at the shoe cabinet carefully, then looked at Fujino and said, "As a famous detective and consultant, do you have any opinions?"
"Judging from the reactions of the two people, it doesn't seem like they were in collusion."
Fujino thought for a moment and said, "I think Kato must have used some time illusion to disrupt Chiba's perception of time."
"Using a criminal police officer to give false evidence is a great idea."
Takagi Nagasuke murmured with emotion, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and suddenly said: "In this way, the identity can be locked."
As he said that, he took out a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet and showed them to Fujino: "Did you find anything wrong?"
Fujino stared for a moment and said, "The intersection of the shoelaces is wet?"
"Yes, I think it was because that guy rushed back in the morning when it was raining and used a hair dryer to dry his shoes, but he didn't pull out the shoelaces."
"Brother Changjie, you wouldn't have discovered it a long time ago, right?"
"Of course not. I was just trying my luck. After all, for the police, if they take a look around the scene, they might find some useful clues."
"It looks like you made the right bet this time, brother."
"Yeah, it's just sheer luck..."
Takagi Nagasuke responded, took out his phone, and took a picture of the shoelaces: "Since you, Fujino, have found the car, then I, an old senior, must be of some use."
As he spoke, he dialed a number: "Hello, Kikukawa, this is Nagasuke, yes, please help me find something at the police station under your regional department. I'll buy you a drink before you leave!"
“As expected of an artist of the older generation.”
Fujino sighed as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who seemed familiar with the situation.
All I can say is that old policemen and young policemen are different, both in terms of experience and sensitivity to cases.
Even local police can provide assistance by using their connections.
By the way, the police station that Brother Changjie mentioned is actually a Koban, which is similar to the police stations in China. Generally, there are two or three people patrolling in a post, and most of them are patrol officers active on the front line.
Because the original police station was changed into a cross-border police station in recent years.
So some old policemen still call the police station "police station".
All I can say is that the backbone of the Metropolitan Police Department is probably these older policemen.
It’s a pity that an old policeman like this can only be a police lieutenant in his lifetime, and at most his salary can be improved.
Even if you work hard and make countless contributions, if you are not a member of the internal professional group of the National Police Agency, all your efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department, which reveals its privileges everywhere, is, after all, just a microcosm of Japanese society.
But everyone accepted it calmly.
…………
More than an hour later.
Brother Nagase received a phone call. After hanging up the phone, he made an OK gesture to brother Fujino.
Fujino understood, and the two returned to the living room.
Of course, Sato and Chiba found nothing.
This was also within Fujino's expectations.
After all, what stupid murderer would bring his crime equipment back to his temporary home?
Kato was called back and looked at them with some dissatisfaction: "So let me tell you, how could I be a murderer? You must have listened to that woman's nonsense and found the wrong person."
"Well, it is indeed possible that we have found the wrong person."
Fujino nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked, "Sato, do you remember when the rain started and ended this morning?"
“You ask this…”
Miwako Sato thought about it and felt that Fujino was not that kind of person. She had asked herself a question before, and she asked it again...
There must be some deeper meaning behind this. Are you planning to continue reasoning along this line?
So, she thought for a moment and answered, "It started around six in the morning. I got off right after I came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, and it was around nine o'clock when I got back from handling the case."
"I remember it was raining really hard. Even though the detective agency was soundproofed, I could still hear the rain."
Fujino said, looking at Chiba Kazunobu with sharp eyes: "Then Chiba, let me ask you seriously again, did you really not hear the sound of rain at that time?"
"This one……"
Chiba Kazunobu thought about it carefully: "I did hear some rain sounds at that time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he and I were concentrating on watching TV. However, after I finished watching the morning show, around eight o'clock, when I went to the kitchen, I didn't hear any rain sounds."
"That is to say, you didn't feel the sound of rain at eight o'clock."
Fujino thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that you went to the kitchen at ten o'clock instead of eight o'clock?"
"This is impossible, right?"
Qianye hesitated and said, "Whether it was the videotape... or the program being played, it was around seven o'clock, and the clock in our house was also seven o'clock, and we definitely watched six hours of Kamen Rider videotapes..."
"Can the remote control adjust the progress?"
Fujino looked at the VCR: "Including the commercials and the opening and ending songs, it's six hours long, but are you sure you two didn't skip any?"
"This……"
Qianye's face suddenly froze when he heard this.
Fujino walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "I don't know some of the details, but the clue is here. If you think about it, you should understand what's going on. Think about it carefully..."
"..."
Chiba's face became paler and paler. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Kato.
After a moment of silence, he said, "In order not to be late in the morning, I set all five clocks in my house forward by five minutes, but I just took a look..."
"Wait, you're doubting me just because of the clock?"
Kato shouted excitedly to Chiba: "Chiba, you know me, how could I kill someone?"
"It's because I know you that I can't believe you would kill someone!"
Chiba shouted, immediately understanding Fujino's hint.
Probably, Kato persuaded him to drink last night, and before he woke up from his hangover in the morning, he slowed down the clock in the room, then recorded Yoko Okino's show, ran out to commit the crime, and came back two hours later to wake him up.
At the same time, he overwrote the Yoko Okino show he had recorded on cable TV, then kept fast-forwarding the tape as it played, creating the illusion of time.
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Kato's hurdle vest: "Kato, why did you kill someone? Didn't we agree before that we would forget all this after drinking?!"
"I……"
Kato looked at his friend who was being used by him and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Takagi Nagasuke interrupted and said, "We just found your black backpack in the river of the Tiwujin River, and we also found a car with blood on it in a nearby parking lot. According to the records of the car rental agency, this car should be rented by you..."
His narrow and shrunken pupils glanced at Kato: "You don't have anything to say now, right?"
"I plead guilty..."
Kato sighed, squatted on the ground helplessly, and laughed at himself: "I thought I could get away with it by asking the police to testify, but in the end I was still found out... At this point, even if I say it wasn't me, you guys probably won't believe me, right?"
"Indeed, you are basically caught."
Fujino nodded with a kind smile on his face: "So do you want to resist?"
"Just give it a try, what if I knock you down and you can run away?"
"…Resistance?"
