Chapter 176.
“Also, let’s make a list of people who fit the above five traits, who are familiar with Nojiri Taro, and narrow it down!”
“Chief, these five traits you mentioned, besides being pugnacious and male, this Nojiri Taro’s wife Keiko also fits, and she has no alibi to strongly prove it!” Lu Le first compared them and opened his mouth.
“No matter who it is, as long as there are suspicions, they are listed first, and then it’s not too late for us to rule them out!” Cheng Mo nodded and said.
“That Takema Wave manager of the Tong Yuan foreign bank, Nojiri Taro’s top boss, also fits the bill in terms of stature?”
“List it!”
“List all the people you find suspicious in your minds, and we’ll rule them out one by one.”
“Yes!”
“Nojiri Taro works at the Tong Yuan foreign bank, according to his coworker’s description, he’s a very nice person, since he doesn’t sit in shifts very often, so, basically, he rarely gets into conflicts with his coworkers, and his performance is good, he doesn’t take risks or lag behind, and he’s just an ordinary customer specialist at the foreign bank, which, if the foreign bank’s people didn’t intentionally lie about it, it should be able to be established, In this way, the possibility of killing due to work conflicts is extremely low, but they are foreign trade, they must have a good relationship with their customers, according to our visit to some of his customers, the general impression is good, there is no grudges with anyone, so the possibility of a vendetta arising from work level conflicts is very small, in this way, there is only what Lao Lin said, love kills… …”
“Cheng head, could it possibly be a robbery and murder, where Nojiri Taro was coerced into the alley first and then killed?” Xu Qinghe said.
“The autopsy found that Nojiri Taro’s body wallet was not taken away, and the coins inside were all there, which means that it is not a robbery and murder, otherwise, the murderer can take away the murder weapon, why did not take away the wallet, this would have been his purpose ah.”
“Robbery and murder is indeed a lack of evidence to support, but the murderer does not take the victim’s wallet, some unusual, he could have taken the wallet as a way to mislead our investigation ……,” Lin Huarong said.
“Old Lin has a point, the murderer came prepared to kill, with such a meticulous mind, the scene left almost no traces, there is no reason why he wouldn’t have thought that taking away the victim’s wallet could mislead the direction of our investigation, which means that he is rushing to kill, as for the victim’s belongings, he doesn’t care at all!” Cheng Mo nodded.
“The victim didn’t have any grudges with anyone at work, the only thing we have now is, the triangular relationship between the victim, the victim’s wife Keiko, and Miss Xia.” Xu Qinghe said, “Before the victim’s death, he talked to Mrs. Keiko on the phone, and has been to Miss Xia’s place, the time period of the victim’s death, Miss Xia and Mrs. Keiko do not seem to have a hard alibi ……”
“Nojiri Taro left from Ms. Natsu’s side and left a sum of money behind, and the two of them had just done that, common sense would say that Ms. Natsu would never have killed him, she didn’t have the motive!”
“What if she is afraid that the victim will continue to pester her, after all, the victim has incomprehensible special fetishes.”
“It’s not like it’s the first day that Ms. Natsu knows about these special fetishes, if she wanted to get out of it earlier, she would have moved out a long time ago, why would she make a scene about the ‘dead cat’?”
“That means there is more suspicion on Mrs. Keiko, we should control her.”
“No, the one who died was the husband, we don’t have solid evidence before arresting the wife, it’s inappropriate, moreover, they are both Japanese expatriates, now this case is being watched by the Japanese side, it’s very sensitive, even if we have suspicions, we can’t arrest them without evidence.” Cheng Mo vetoed.
In fact, Cheng Mo instead hoped that it was Huizi’s doing, so that this case would be much simpler, but if not, it would only be troublesome.
Involving the Japanese to kill and exterminate.
The current direction of detection would be all wrong.
The problem is, who can prove that “Nojiri Taro” is the identity of the Japanese agent, know and get the evidence are two different things.
That’s the crux of the case.
There is also the question of whether his wife, Keiko, knew about Nojiri’s identity, or whether she was one of them. You know, the Japanese agents in the Inoue Public House were basically all men. Whether there were any women, he couldn’t say.
Couldn’t say with certainty that there were absolutely none.
And with Nojiri Taro dead outside, there was no reason for them to search his home, and even if there was a lot of evidence, it could have been erased.
Phone call!
Cheng Mo suddenly remembered a detail, Keiko called Nojiri Taro, how did she know that Nojiri Taro had been staying at the foreign bank that day, knowing that Nojiri Taro wasn’t a sitter, most of the time he wasn’t at the foreign bank, he was out contacting clients and running business.
Where did she make that phone call, and where did she say she took her child to the playground that day, and to that playground, and at what time did she return? That was a detail he would have to follow through on.
“You guys go to Taihe Restaurant first, I reserved the box, go straight there, I’ll go buy a pack of cigarettes!” Coming out from the patrol room, Cheng Mo touched his pocket and realized that he had run out of cigarettes.
“Chief, I have some here, smoke mine?” Lu Le pulled out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over.
“No, I have to buy them anyway, just go and go, I’ll be there when you guys finish ordering.” Cheng Mo waved his hand and said.
“Brother Xu, does the chief think my cigarettes are bad?”
“No, he smokes the same cigarettes as you, he just doesn’t like to smoke what his subordinates give him because he never takes advantage of them.” Xu Qinghe explained with a hefty smile.
Lu Le nodded his head as if he understood.
Cheng Mo came to the old Miao grocery store and ordered, “Have San ask if there are any important leaks in the ‘dog team’, notify me first after you find out, be quick.”
“Understood.”
Cheng Mo asked Lao Miao to get him another cigarette, paid for it, and then left.
After having dinner, the group headed to the crime scene, this point in time was almost similar to the time when Nojiri Taro was killed.
The shopkeepers who had not yet gone to bed and closed at this time were highly likely to have seen and heard something, and coming over at night to make inquiries might have unexpected gains.
Cheng Mo also wanted to come to Keiko to find out some more details, and at the same time, he also wanted to observe Keiko’s reaction again.
However, when he came to the place where Huizi lived, found that her home actually long gone out the lights, although it is not too early to go to bed, children go to bed early is quite normal, but adults in the summer, usually this time will not go to sleep, unless in the countryside, there is nothing to do with recreational activities, do not go to sleep, but also can take advantage of the early morning to get up and work in the cooler weather it.
Shanghai Tang is different from the countryside, this time of day, not many people sleep, but the ordinary people have returned home, will not be wandering in the street.
People are sleeping, naturally, it is not good to disturb, after all, the night, Huizi a woman who just died her husband, gossip would have been more.
But Cheng Mo still felt that something was not right, so he knocked on the door of the old couple who had not yet rested in the main house.
