"I forgot which direction it was. That corn field is gone now. Oh no, I said it wrong, it's... it's sunflower," Sato said more and more stammered, "Sorry, nowadays, there are no sunflowers in the whole of Tokyo...

"However, I can remember that the crime scene is very close to the village, so Shinka Hirachi should have been attacked on his way off work, and then dragged by the criminals for more than 200 meters to the sunflower field before committing the murder!

“That time, the place was very remote,” Sato recalled. “We later investigated almost all the residents of the village, but found nothing…”

"What about... interpersonal relationships?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Does Shinka Pingcheng have any enemies?"

"No," Sato said affirmatively, "that little girl is a kind-hearted person, sunny and passionate about life. She has a good relationship with her family and friends..."

"So... what else is left in that case? For example, using the remaining white candles and charcoal?" Zhao Yu asked again.

"I don't know this, it should be sealed in the file, right?" Sato answered uncertainly.

"Then... what about the murder weapon? Also, the scene was sunflower field. Didn't there be footprints left?" Zhao Yu continued to ask.

"Yes, there are footprints. On that soft land, it is impossible not to leave footprints," Sato said, "We extracted several complete footprints. It is suspected that the murderer was a man between 1.80 and 1.85 meters tall. He weighed about 180 kilograms, but... the fingerprint was not found...

"In that era when technology was underdeveloped, footprints and fingerprints were the most important means..."

"Pingcheng Xinjia worked in a real estate company at that time," Zhao Yu asked again, "Have you investigated her colleagues and leaders?"

"Of course, I've investigated," Sato said, "There are only a few male employees who meet the conditions. They all have absenteeism, so all of them are ruled out...

"Well... Officer Jade..." Sato recalled and said, "At the beginning, when we analyzed the case, everyone reached a certain consensus. The Sunflower case gave us the feeling that it was more like a random crime!"

"Oh? Random crime?"

"Yes," Sato said, "the murderer's purpose is to kill a girl in the sunflower field. That day, he just happened to meet Nobuka Hiraki who came home from get off work late at night!

"The remnants of the sacrifice, the ears are cut off, the X-shaped wounds, and there are no traces of invasion. These are typical presentation characteristics. The murderer seems to be completing some kind of murder ritual!

"Because of this, I mentioned it to you before, we suspect that this may be a serial murder case..."

"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded silently, and the other party's analysis still had some truth.

After all, he has now learned that a similar case occurred in Seoul, South Korea in the same year.

If it can be proved that it was done by the same person, it can be said that Shinka Tatsuya is just one of the international serial murders!

Therefore, the interpersonal relationship investigation of Shinka Pingcheng seems to be no longer important!

If this is true, then the difficulty of solving this unsolved case will be greatly increased. If the murderer kills the person and changes his country, how can this case be solved?

"Since that's the case..." Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked, "Do you know, who knows who knows the identity of that foreigner at that time?

"I was thinking, even if that foreigner was not the murderer, he had a close relationship with Shinka Pekawa, and maybe he could provide some clues, right?"

"This is probably very difficult," Sato said, "At that time, those who knew the identity of foreigners were nothing more than the director, the director, the prime minister's office, and the prime minister himself!

"But most of these people are gone now. If you want to know the identity of that foreigner, you probably have to ask the Prime Minister at that time, right?"

"Oh, okay!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank you for the information you provided! I will continue to work hard to solve this case..."

"Okay," Sato stood up from the sofa, came to the front and shook hands with Zhao Yu, "I also hope that in my lifetime, I can see the murderer being brought to justice..."

Um?

Just as he shook hands, Zhao Yu suddenly realized that Sato's fingers were not very at ease, so he took advantage of the handshake and drew several forcefully on Zhao Yu's palm.

oh……

No way?

Zhao Yu felt keen and immediately discovered Sato's abnormality. What he drew on his palm should be the English letter "s"!

s...

Sos?

Could it be...

puff……

As a result, just as Zhao Yu had not let go, with a puff, bloody flowers burst out from Sato's head, and the dead body fell to the ground!

Damn it!?

Zhao Yu was shocked, and with a thought, the invisible bulletproof vest was immediately worn on his body.

I looked up again, but I saw that it was not someone else who shot, but one of the bodyguards who had been standing behind the sofa!

how?

how so?

Zhao Yu glanced at Sato who was lying on the ground. He was obviously dead! Blood flowed out, dyeing the tatami red...

Previously, Zhao Yu had discovered through the stealth detector that all the bodyguards in the house were wearing weapons.

Moreover, he dodged through Sato's eyes and spoke nervously, and found some problems.

However, he never thought about anything else. He only thought that Sato was causing some trouble, or was held hostage, or something important action he was about to take.

But he never thought that Sato would be killed by his subordinates in an instant!

From this point of view, are these people not Sato's subordinates?

Sure enough, after Sato was killed, the four bodyguards in the room immediately surrounded Zhao Yu in the middle and aimed at Zhao Yu with their guns!

Zhao Yu has a bulletproof vest on his body, so of course he has the ability to fight back immediately.

However, the situation was so sudden that he stood still without moving in accordance with the detective's curiosity.

The next second, the butler who had been standing in the distance and looked harmless suddenly stepped in front of Zhao Yu.

I'll go...

The butler's face was gloomy and turned into a devilish look in a blink of an eye!

"What's going on?" Zhao Yu asked in Japanese, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Yes, I also think there is a big misunderstanding between us," Unexpectedly, when the butler opened his mouth, he spoke fluent Chinese. His eyes were like lightning, staring at Zhao Yu and said four words, "Mr. Zhao Yu!!!"

have to……

Zhao Yu's heart sank, it was obvious that the other party was indeed coming for him!

I really didn't expect that they would use this method. Isn't it a bit too grand?

However, Zhao Yuxin is as clear as a mirror. If the other party’s purpose is just to kill him, then there is no need to wait for him to say so much nonsense to Sato, and he can do it as soon as he enters the house.

So, now I am still safe, and I can take advantage of this opportunity to inquire about information.

"Officer Yu, this name is quite good!" The butler came to Zhao Yu, stared at Zhao Yu with good eyes and said, "You are really a famous detective. You are a day or two earlier than we expected!

"We thought we would meet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

"Yeah! Haha..." Zhao Yu laughed and said casually, "I thought you Yasha was dead and we would never meet again!"

Swish...

As soon as Zhao Yu said this, the atmosphere in the room became tense and depressing, and everyone's face changed color...
