Chapter 4 Reverse Cross
Tenichi ignored Ikeda's surprise and made even more shocking remarks: "This policeman is just like me and is not on the same level as you ordinary humans, so I can't find a book with his name in my store. But it doesn't matter. He will more or less reveal some progress in reasoning to his colleagues and superiors, and I can piece together clues from the voices of others."
"You..." Ikeda stuttered.
"Who is it?" Tianyi said directly what Ikeda wanted to ask: "My name is Tianyi. Tianyi in the world, the number one, this is not a stage name, I can show you the ID card." He sucked coffee again: "Of course, this is not important. For you, the important thing is to remember the name of the policeman, the Whale Bird.
In his ability, you can find and force you into a desperate situation in up to forty-eight hours."
Ikeda replied in panic: "What a joke! Matsuo's death has nothing to do with me. Whether he committed suicide or killed him, it has nothing to do with me!"
Tianyi picked up Miura's Book of Heart: "I will now offer you a second deal.
If you give up on seeing Miura's voice, I will tell you the real murderer who killed Matsuo and the flaws you stayed last night that will cause trouble in the future."
Ikeda faced a choice again, but this time he quickly made a decision: "Okay, I won't read Miura's books, tell me about what happened last night!"
"Hahahaha..." Tianyi laughed wildly: "Did you give up the opportunity to take revenge on Miura because of fear? You actually agreed so quickly."
The laughter sounded extremely harsh to Ikeda. He felt like he was fooled by this weird guy like a doll, but he could not do anything about it.
After a full minute of smoking, Tianyi stopped, "Okay, I believe in words, at least in terms of trading." He cleared his throat: "What you thought of doing last night was basically superfluous, but what you forgot to do was all fatal."
Tianyi picked up the coffee pot next to him and continued to say, "Start by opening the door of the teacher's office.
The fingerprints left on the door are not used as evidence, because it is not surprising that even dozens of people have fingerprints on the door of the office. I believe you thought of this, so later you did not turn back and wipe the fingerprints on the door, but just wiped off the window in the corridor on the first floor.
But you forgot that you left a whole row of fingerprints, or… palm prints, in a place where someone would never touch with your hands.”
Ikeda was stunned: "Oh no!"
Tianyi said: "When you were frightened by a cold body and sat on the ground and retreated, you left a lot of palm prints on the floor. The place where everyone stepped on with their feet, you left such a strange and neat row of palm prints. Are you going to explain it as 'I entered the office upside down during the day'? If you really did that, someone would definitely notice it."
Ikeda was not in the mood to joke with the other party, and he replied: "But... ordinary suicides, no, even murder! Will anyone be able to collect fingerprints on the floor outside the door?!"
Tian Yi slapped the table: "Good words! Good opinions! You speculated well.
Take Sakurano Mansion as an example. In case of murder, the first police officer to come to the scene is responsible for protecting the scene and conducting preliminary investigations. After that, a group of technical housekeepers who carry high-priced equipment to collect evidence will come late, which is the so-called physical evidence department. At this time, the police officers who arrived first will decide the nature of the case and the direction of the investigation based on their preliminary judgment.
If it is just treated as a general suicide case, there is no need to do too detailed evidence collection. Symbolically get a few fingerprints on the dead object, take a few photos of the on-site environment, evidence and the deceased, and then transport the body away and take the team. The whole process will be completed in two or three hours if it is fast.
The work of asking relevant personnel can be done when collecting evidence. The subsequent autopsy work is just to find out the cause of death and will not do too many tests. When the evidence, testimony, and autopsy report are all released, the police officer in charge of copywriting writes a brief report and puts the recorded information into the computer archive and backup, and various messy physical evidence is thrown into the file bag and the case is closed.
Sakurano Mansion has always been a place with a very high suicide rate. Even if the police cannot handle such cases at will, at least practice can make perfect.
There are many people like those who directly evolved into full-time NEET after graduating from high school, sitting in a house without sunshine, falling in love with the second-dimensional character for many years and registering to get married, and finally ending up masturbating and dying.
Such cases will never be able to achieve the carpet-style fingerprint collection around the death scene.”
He said this whole lot in one go, and finally two fatal words popped up: "But!"
Tenichi picked up Miura's Book of Heart, turned to one of the pages, pointed to a line of words in it, and placed it in front of Ikeda: "Read."
When Ikeda's eyes came into contact with the text in the book, his whole body trembled: "White Mosquito, isn't it enough to wipe off his footprints? Wouldn't it be too suspicious to wipe away the fingerprints on the window frame?"
Tianyi immediately closed the book and took back the drawer of his desk: "As a result, even Miura's ideas are clearer than you. He had just killed someone with his own hands, which is really different from a guy like you who was lost after looking at the corpse." He continued to smile sarcastically and said, "When you use your brain to think about it, would Matsuo specifically wipe off his fingerprints? Then, a person who even wiped his fingerprints completely left footprints?
The security guard is a witness and a big lock is used as physical evidence. Based on these two pieces of evidence, normal people can infer that Matsuo sneaked into the teaching building after 8 o'clock in the evening through a place outside the main entrance. No matter how unacceptable the police are, they must at least check Matsuo's way into the crime scene. You have all expected this, but you made such a low-level mistake. Alas, it's stupid... It's reasonable to just wipe Matsuo's footprints together."
"What did you say just now..." Ikeda didn't listen to Tenchi's second half of the sentence, and his thoughts were still on the sentence "I just killed someone with my own hands."
Tianyi slapped the table and laughed: "Hahaha...this is another stupid thing about you. If you insist on making the first deal, when you see Miura's book, you can still know who the real murderer is."
Ikeda gritted his teeth in hatred, but the other party had indeed given him a choice, and he had nothing to say.
Tianyi said: "Okay, I have said everything I should say. The transaction is over. Please get out of here if there is nothing to do."
Ikeda was unwilling to leave like this: "You can testify, you know it was Miura who killed someone! As long as you testify against him..."
Tenchi shook his finger and interrupted Ikeda's words: "I don't have the time, mood, interest, and obligation to do this."
"Then... then... why did Miura kill Matsuo? And why did Matsuo run to school by himself in the middle of the night?" Ikeda asked.
Tianyi spread his hands: "Miura's murder method, motivation, Matsuo's behavior, and how to get rid of being chased by the whale bird. If you need to know this, we can make another deal." He took a mouthful of coffee and said, "Of course you can get out of here as soon as possible, wash your neck and wait for the whale bird to finally arrest you based on the limited clues and his limited wisdom."
"Koto was killed by Miura! Don't you know too!" Ikeda replied.
"Hahaha... After Miura killed people, he pretended to commit suicide; after Miura killed people, he did not forget to close the door at will; during the process of Miura's murder, he did not even leave a single hair, not to mention fingerprints and footprints; in the end, before Miura escaped from the scene, he could hide in the dark and monitor without panic, until he left." Tenchi looked at Ikeda with contempt: "So... do you think, who is more likely to be caught by the police?"
When Ikeda heard this, his heart was like a pot of boiling boiling water, his blood surged, and an inexplicable emotion easily defeated reason. Every word from Tenchi hit the most subtle weakness in human nature, induced Ikeda to take the next step.
"What do you want me to do?" When Ikeda asked this question, his expression became like an addict.
…………
On December 11, at 4:53 am, the whale bird was wearing a shabby leather jacket, squatting bean paste bag beside the corpse.
It was more than ten minutes since he arrived at the scene, but his colleagues had not arrived yet. He asked the security guard a few questions and looked at the surrounding environment. He stood on the table and got the body down.
"I crawled out of the bed before dawn and ran to school under the low temperature, which made me feel ten years younger." The whale bird was checking the body while mocking herself.
"Hey... what's going on..." Just before the whale bird, a pattern gradually appeared on Matsuo's pale face.
They were two vertically interlaced black rectangular lines, with more than two wide fingers. The longer black line extends from the pine tail's forehead through the bridge of the nose to the chin, as if it divides his face into two parts; while the slightly shorter one extends from its left cheek to its right cheek, as if it seals the mouth with tape.
