Chapter 167.

“Then what did you call me here for, Laodu?” Cheng Mo was curious that Lau Bo Sheng called himself over with a single phone call just to tell him this.

It wasn’t to be.

“Cheng Peisheng and the others can’t handle this case, I’ve suggested to Lao Ba that you take full responsibility for the investigation.” Laobosheng said.

“If this case is just an ordinary criminal case, it makes sense for Cheng Tan and the others to investigate, if I intervene and snatch the case, I’m only afraid that it will cause unnecessary conflicts?” Cheng Mo said, inwardly he did not want to take over this case.

“If you don’t take over this case, then the Day Man Group side will have to take over, once they take over this case, this case may be uncontrollable.” Pryde said.

“In that case, it’s not impossible for me to take over this case, but this case involves the Tong Yuan foreign bank, if I find out anything, how far can I proceed?” Cheng Mo asked after pondering for a moment.

Laubertson and Pryde exchanged a glance, why wouldn’t they know that if they really found out something, it would be a troublesome matter to dispose of it.

“It would be best if it was an ordinary criminal case.”

It wasn’t clear that Robson and Pryde wanted it to be an ordinary criminal case, so that Nojiri’s death would be an accident.

The accident would not be able to be counted against the Bureau of Public Works, and the Japanese would have no excuse to make use of it.

If the Concession hadn’t been able to expel the Japanese living in the Concession, and had expelled the Japanese cleanly, there would have been no such thing.

“Understood.” Cheng Mo thought the same thing, but the inner workings of this case would only not be like this.

“Go on, if you need support, tell Pryde directly, he will fully support you.” Lawson affectionately patted Cheng Mo’s shoulder and said.

“Thank you, Governor Law.”

Although he was forcibly assigned the task, it became a different version when it was passed on to the crowd in the old gate capture room.

Cheng Mo wanted to get more credit and accumulate seniority to be promoted to detective, so he snatched the case of the murder of “Japanese Nojiri” from the hands of Detective Cheng Peisheng.

This kind of robbery of the case behavior, is a very bad for people’s teeth.

But there are people who believe it.

There is no way, who let this case is in his hands, although Cheng Mo did not want to take over the case, but the British sent word, he did not take it also have to take.

Even Cheng Peisheng misunderstood, Cheng Mo brought people to hand over the case, his team is full of a kind of hostility.

Cheng Mo really had no way to explain this kind of thing, there were some things that he just couldn’t tell the other side, not to mention, even if he knew so what, the other side wouldn’t necessarily be grateful to him.

Therefore, as long as the other party is not excessive, he will not bother, after all, it is still important to investigate the case.

The case was simple.

According to Nojiri’s wife Keiko description, Nojiri went to work the first day well, the evening before returning home from work also gave a phone call home, said to go to the apricot blossom building for her to buy her favorite pastries, she waited at home left and right, has been waiting until dark, have not waited for people to come back, so the next day, early in the morning went out to look along the route that he usually go home, the result is in a broken alley to find a long time has died of her husband! Nojiri.

Then Keiko called the police.

The Old Gates Trapper’s Office responded and quickly went out to the scene.

After collecting ground traces, the body was hauled off to a funeral parlor, and the next step was an autopsy. To Cheng Mo took over this moment, the autopsy report has not yet come out, but it is estimated that it is also fast, human life cases, can not be delayed.

Solve the case in the golden forty-eight hours, more than this time, it is very slim, especially when the current rental sector, the police force is limited, it is even more difficult.

The scene is blocked.

Cheng Mo went to see, there is no value, because before the blockade, a lot of traces are destroyed, even if that is a cut-off alley, at night there is not much people past.

How Nojiri walked in, and why he went into an alley where the road was impassable, was also mind-boggling.

If there’s one explanation, it’s that the alley wasn’t the first scene of the murder.

Dumping a body after a murder?

Is it necessary to throw in this broken alley, this is afraid that people can not find out? Otherwise simply a set of sacks, tied to the stone, directly sunk Huangpu River more clean.

This murderer’s brain is not enough.

Of course, there is another situation, the murderer and Nojiri know, he will lead people to this alley, and then take advantage of his surprise, killed him.

But this needs to establish the premise that this murderer and Nojiri knew each other, otherwise how could he willingly come to such an alley with him? In that case, the likelihood of an acquaintance committing the crime is high.

The Old Gates Constabulary political unit already had a lot of manpower, and the investigation of this case obviously needed manpower, and Lin Huarong’s department was naturally called over by Cheng Mo to participate in the case analysis meeting.

He could not be excluded all the time.

Cheng Mo briefly described the case once, then, let everyone speak freely and make a group effort, after all, he alone is no more powerful than so many people.

“Old Lin, you are experienced in handling cases, you speak first.” Cheng Mo directly named Lin Huarong.

“Detective Cheng, I think this case is more likely to be a robbery and murder, according to Nojiri’s wife Keiko’s description, when he was coming home from work, he called and said that he was going to Apricot Blossom House to buy her some snacks, but we didn’t find any snacks at the scene, and the briefcase that he usually carries is also not there, this kind of itinerant case of killing someone on sight of money happens quite a lot every year. ” Lin Huarong cleared his voice and said.

Cheng Mo listened for a moment, this kind of incidental case although the probability is rare, but it is not impossible, Nojiri works in a foreign bank and dresses decently, this kind of person is usually a small surplus of wealth, it is easy to become the target of some people.

“But according to the scene investigation, did not find traces of struggle, robbery and murder, at least there is pulling, after all, robbers are running for money, unless it is a last resort, will not kill.” Xu Qinghe countered.

“What if it’s a roving entry into the Tenement Humans?”

“What kind of humongous bandit would dare to commit a crime in the eastern district of the most prosperous part of the Concession ……”

“Xu Qinghe, don’t think that just because you’re an inspector now, I can’t do anything about you!” Lin Huarong said angrily, it was obvious that the two of them had a past beef.

“I’m just discussing the matter, Inspector Lin, what’s your hurry, if this case is that easy to solve, how would the higher-ups directly name us Chengtou to take over?” Xu Qinghe said, he knew the inside story, this case was assigned down by the British, it was not a case that Cheng Mo took the initiative to ask for.

Lin Huarong froze, this he really didn’t know, he thought it was Cheng Mo who wanted to make a splash and add to his own aura, but he didn’t realize that the case was assigned by the higher-ups.

“I’ll say it plainly, the identity of this Nojiri who died is not ordinary, the Hongkou branch of the Black Dragon Society behind the Tongyuan Foreign Bank where he worked, has Nanmoto Mitsuru heard of him, he is the president of the Hongkou branch of the Black Dragon Society, he is also the head of the organ of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai.” Cheng Mo explained, “Everyone understands that this case is unusual.”
