Chapter 168

“Detective Cheng, this case that’s a hot potato ah, why are you still taking it?” Lin Huarong sucked in a breath at his words.

“Governor Lao personally called me over, you think I can refuse?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

The Political Unit boss had stepped in.

In his place, he wouldn’t dare to refuse, and would he still want to work in the inspectorate.

“If this case doesn’t involve anything else, it’s all good.” Cheng Mo said, “The senior management is just afraid that the Japanese will take advantage of the case and give us conditions again, if I don’t take this case, I have to hand it over to the Japanese group, think about it, if it is handed over to the Japanese group, then what will be the fate of us people in the future?”

“But the Japanese are powerful, what can we do?”

“It’s not like we’re going to fight against them, they’re powerful, but they have to be reasonable, this is a leased area under the jurisdiction of the Great Powers.” Cheng Mo emphasized, “At least, we don’t have to be like Zhabei and Nan Shi, we still have the power to handle cases independently.”

Lin Huarong stopped speaking, things have come to this, can only carry on the case, now give up, that is asking for trouble.

The sky has collapsed, there is a tall man top, this case is responsible for Cheng Mo, not him Lin Huarong.

There is a knock on the door.

Open the door.

The old gates of the coroner’s office appeared in the doorway, handed the door Lu Le an autopsy report, explained a couple of sentences, and directly left.

Lu Le hurriedly brought the autopsy report in and handed it to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo took a look and held the autopsy report in his hand with a wave: “The autopsy report shows that the victim Naojiri’s time of death was roughly between eight and ten o’clock in the evening, because of the hot weather, the body spots will appear earlier than normal, the cause of death is the neck artery of the knife, directly cut the carotid artery, a knife to death, clean and clear, the body did not find any other new injuries. But fresh sperm stains were found on the deceased’s underwear.”

“This guy actually had a fling before he died?”

“In that case, the possibility of a love murder is one more point.” Everyone laughed.

“This is a very interesting clue, I think, first, we need to find out who the last person the victim saw was, and perhaps we can sort out the trajectory of the victim’s activities during his life.” Lin Huarong suggested.

“Lao Lin, Lao Xu, you guys divide up the work, don’t say I’m favoring anyone, two lines, one is to check the victim’s social relations, since it’s likely to be an acquaintance committing the crime, as much as possible, find out those who are related to the victim, and secondly, check out the victim’s trajectory of activities in the three days prior to the murder, especially who he was with and what he had done during the time before the death, from the time he was off work to the time he was killed. ” Cheng Mo instructed.

“I’ll go check the victim’s activity trajectory in the three days before his death.” Lin Huarong said after thinking for a while.

“Then I’ll check his social connections.” Xu Qinghe could only go with this.

“Both of you have crossed these two lines, I hope you can share information, if this case is done well, the credit goes to everyone, not a penny will be lost!”

“Yes.”

After the case analysis meeting, it was time to get moving.

Cheng Mo once again went to Pingwang Street, Nojiri was dead, but Keiko and the child lived here, this good deed goes unnoticed, bad deeds spread a thousand miles.

Nojiri’s murder has spread throughout Pyeongwang Street.

“Mrs. Keiko, we are deeply sympathetic to what happened to your husband, but we also ask for your condolences, and we at the Patrol Office will definitely do our best to help you find out the truth.” Cheng Mo said when he saw Keiko.

“Thank you, Inspector Cheng.” Huizi’s eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying, with the top pillar of the family gone, it would only be difficult for Huizi to maintain her past life on her own.

And she didn’t have a regular job, so one could imagine what would happen to her and her child next, for a woman, the death of her husband was no different from the sky falling.

“We came over, just want to understand your husband’s relationships, you know, try to explain to us in detail, it will help us to solve the case.” Cheng Mo inquired as harmoniously as possible.

“He doesn’t have many friends, and he rarely talks about things at work at home.”

“Then how are his coworker relationships at work, for example, are there any conflicts with his coworkers, and how is his relationship with his boss?” “Their boss seldom shows up, and I seldom hear him mention it, they don’t have many people in the company, and they are mainly engaged in import and export trade, his usual job is to be responsible for wiring and contacting customers, but, I don’t know about the specific customers.” Keiko explained.

“Then, has he ever brought any friends to his home as guests?”

“No, he never brings friends home.” Keiko said shaking her head.

“Does your husband drink, how well does he drink?”

“Drinks, not a huge amount, but he’s very restrained and rarely gets drunk.” Keiko said after a moment’s thought.

“Was there anything unusual about Mr. Nojiri before he was killed?”

“Nothing out of the ordinary, but the night before he came back with a lot of candy.” Keiko said.

“Candy, can you show me?” Cheng Mo asked.

Keiko nodded, turned around and went back to her room to fetch a tin box over, looking at the style it should be a canning box, after eating the cans inside, the box stayed behind to put some things in.

Cheng Mo took a look, is a kind of “Morinaga” brand of milk candy, Cheng Mo although rarely buy candy and other items.

But this kind of Japanese brand candy, only in the Hongkou Concession of the Japanese stores only have to sell, the Concession of the store almost can not see.

Apparently, Nojiri had been to the HK district the day before and had bought milk candies for his child at the store there.

“Thank you, can I have a piece of this candy?” Cheng Mo asked as he reached out and took a piece of milk candy in his hand.

“Sure.” Keiko froze for a moment, but did not refuse Cheng Mo’s request.

Cheng Mo put the milk candy away.

“Other than buying milk candies for the child, is there anything else?”

“At night, he drank some wine and fell asleep early, and went to work early the next morning, as usual.” Keiko’s eyes averted slightly.

Cheng Mo noticed a bruise on the bottom of Huizi’s neck, but it was quickly blocked by Huizi using her hand to lift her collar.

He didn’t continue to ask more questions; if he did, he probably wouldn’t tell the other party.

So, he looked for the landlord old couple and another resident of this courtyard to understand the situation.

The old landlord couple was old and didn’t have good ears, but they said that they had heard Nojiri and Keiko arguing in the house.

The other man also confirmed it.

Ever since Ms. Natsuki from upstairs moved out, Nojiri and Keiko have been arguing almost every three days, and sometimes, Nojiri can be seen hitting Keiko.

The couple’s relationship is in trouble because of Ms. Natsu’s moving out.

Miss Xia’s move away, or Cheng Mo strongly facilitated, even the house is he let Xu Qinghe help to find, not far away, just two streets away from the Rixin Square.

The place where Nojiri was killed, not far from Rixin Square ……

After this Ms. Xia moved away, is Nojiri still coupled with her, the two still have to continue that kind of dewy relationship? Cheng Mo felt that he needed to see this Ms. Xia again.
