I'm Not a Detective

Human fingerprint lines are not continuous, smooth and straight, but often have interruptions, bifurcations or turning points. These breakpoints, bifurcation points and turning points are called "feature points", and for fingerprint identification in criminal cases Said, the main comparison is these feature points.

Generally, a complete fingerprint has 50-120 characteristic points, and as long as more than 12 of them are consistent, theoretically no one among 7 billion people will leave the same fingerprint, which can be used as ironclad evidence to identify a suspect.

Therefore, a large part of the daily work of the forensics class is to search for various fingerprints at the crime scene. Naturally, the blackmail letters sent by the kidnappers and the cardboard boxes containing the letters must also be checked. The results are compared with those collected previously in the mansion. A certain fingerprint I received was successfully compared, and there was a major breakthrough in the case. I couldn't help but be excited.

"Who is it?" Xiaoli Yaye rushed over in one stride, also very excited.

"It's Kawai Akihiko. This fingerprint is consistent with the thumbprint extracted from the thermos cup he uses every day." The blue hat forensics personnel immediately moved away to show him. The conditions of the temporary search headquarters were simple and they used primitive manual amplification and comparison. "The carton was wiped deliberately, and the whole box is very clean, but the suspect missed a corner. We found several incomplete fingerprints there. One of them was successfully compared, and the other few should be fine."

"円西!" Oguri Kamino was also excited. The case would be much easier to handle if there was a suspect, and at least he would have a clue to the investigation. He glanced at the fingerprint comparison results excitedly, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards Akihiko Kawai's I dug out several vehicles maintenance records, vehicle delivery records, and blackmail letters for comparison. I even invited several of my subordinates to read them together and asked, "Are the wording and sentence construction habits of these threatening statements similar to those of Akihiko Kawai?" ?”

Everyone has certain uniqueness in written and spoken expressions. For example, they like to use inversions, omit subjects or objects in consecutive sentences, and use a specific honorific that matches their level when addressing someone. These may be different from others. , there is a long string of words behind the blackmail letter. Now compare it with the detailed vehicle maintenance records and driving records written by Akihiko Kawai every day, especially the part involving Chiho Takaramuro, the expression habits of Oguri Kamino are more and more similar.

Several other detectives took a second look and felt that there was indeed a certain similarity between the two. They could feel that the writer had a habitual respect for Chiho Takaramuro, even if her last name and honorifics could be omitted in the continuous sentences. The place is not spared at all, it is written down honestly, and if Akihiko Kawai is also one of the kidnappers, many things can be easily explained.

For example, how the kidnappers quietly hijacked the vehicle, and how they knew Sayuri was going home at that time, etc., were all explained in an instant.

Many criminal policemen originally suspected that the driver, Akihiko Kawai, was an accomplice. Now that there is evidence, more criminal policemen couldn't help but discuss excitedly. They all agreed that Akihiko Kawai was suspected of committing a major crime. He was not the mastermind but also an important accomplice.

"Wait, isn't this right?" Qingmi Ruri had already mixed up with the criminal police at some point. After listening for a moment, he couldn't help but raise a question, "If Kawai-san is an accomplice, then he still needs to secretly throw out his watch and ask for help. ?"

"Help?" The detectives all looked at the female high school student who was wearing a small patterned Wu uniform and looked like she was running towards the cherry blossoms.

Qing Jian Liuli was so frightened that she shrank her head. She was still a little afraid of being scolded by an adult if she said something wrong or did something wrong. But the matter was so important and related to a person's innocence that she didn't dare not say anything. She mustered up the courage to say: "The emergency distress signal conveyed on the watch! The watch stopped at 5:01, which is saying Mayday, Nanabahara-san... Well, he sensed the ominous atmosphere, found the watch, studied it for a while, and found out We thought you could see this too."

She was afraid of damaging Takeshi Nanabaru's character, and Takeshi Nanabahara would torment her again later. She tried her best to be smooth, but basically reported the important information truthfully. After her reminder, several detectives whose hometown was at the beach realized that Mayday was The highest level of distress call signal for shipwrecks has the same nature as SOS in Morse code. Not many people know about it, but most people really don’t think that this thing can be conveyed by a watch.

The detective who didn't understand also began to ask his colleagues, and for a while he felt it made sense, and began to waver in his idea of ​​Kawai Akihiko's involvement in the kidnapping.

Seeing this, Qingjian Liuli became bolder and continued: "Now Kawai-san is in the hands of the kidnappers. It is easy for the kidnappers to get his fingerprints and even force him to write a blackmail letter. Therefore, we cannot suspect that he is an accomplice." , if he is wronged later, he will be very sad, he obviously wants to protect Sayuri."

Oguri Yaye is not a brainless detective of the barbaric faction. He was too excited just now and didn't worry about the clues. Now that he was questioned by her face to face, he didn't get angry. He actually thought about it seriously for a moment and felt that what she said made sense. But he still stared at her and asked: "Then why did the kidnapper do this? Is it just to blame him and use him as a scapegoat? If only he comes back safely or we find his body but fail to recover the ransom, The police will still continue to pursue him, so what are the benefits to the kidnappers?"

As he spoke, he felt that his side was more reasonable, and his expression became stern, "Also, how can you be sure that the watch he threw was not deliberately left as evidence to prove his innocence in the future? How can you be sure that he did not do it intentionally? Lost it somewhere and want to lead the police search in the wrong direction?”

"Well……"

The "staring questioning" of a senior criminal police officer was quite lethal, and the reasoning seemed to make sense. Qingjian Liuli was speechless and began to get scared again. He retreated to Takeshi Nanahara, shrank behind him, and pulled She took off the hem of his clothes and aggrievedly motioned to Takeshi Nanahara to stand up for her.

Takema Nanahara was stroking his chin in deep thought. It was really hard for people to understand why he framed Akihiko Kawai in this way. There was something very fishy about it, but it was hard to explain at the moment.

But when his employee was questioned, he actually blocked her behind him and said with a smile: "Then how can the Oguri Police Department confirm that this is not a kidnapper who is confusing the direction of the search? If Kawai-san is really innocent, you guys are different. If we send a large number of manpower to track him down, wouldn't it be safer for the kidnappers in a short period of time?"

After a pause, he didn't want to dwell on this topic, then looked around and said with a smile, "Also, now it is confirmed to be a kidnapping case. At least Kawai-san is also one of the victims of the kidnapping case. Don't you plan to inform his family? He is a human too, right?”

The room was silent for a moment, everyone was only concerned about Miss Sayuri, and for a moment they really forgot about Kawai Akihiko's family.

Oguri Yano's face turned ugly for a moment, and he ordered directly: "Kamizono, Buta, please take a few people there to explain the situation, comfort Kawai-san's family members, and by the way, carefully check the... situation at his home."

Both sides are reasonable. There is not much use in arguing now. If we really want to confirm whether Akihiko Kawai is suspected of committing the crime, we have to wait until he comes back or his body is found. But just in case, to be safe, he still allocates part of the police force , went to covertly search Kawai Akihiko's home overnight.

…………

Chiho Takaramuro and Tomoda Yoshikawa needed to raise funds overnight and contact familiar banks, insurance companies and jewelry stores in exchange for diamonds and gems. Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi stayed in the mansion for the time being, and Eri Nakano drove the car again. They were sent home. Anyway, the kidnappers didn't care whether the family reported the crime or not. It was much easier for the police to come in and out.

It was now ten o'clock. Qingmi Ruri packed her schoolbag at Takeshi Nanahara and had to go home, but she was still thinking about the case. While packing, she asked hesitantly: "Is it really possible that Kawai-san is an accomplice? "

She felt that what Oguri Kamino said was not unreasonable. It might not be enough to completely clear away Akihiko Kawai's suspicion by just throwing a watch and asking for help. But Takeshi Nanahara was still thinking about things and said casually: "I don't think he is. If He really wanted to make it look like he was kidnapped together. There was no need to use such a subtle way to ask for help. That method could only be chosen when he really couldn't think of any other way and only had a ten thousandth chance. If He is a kidnapper, and he is really stupid. If he wants to clear himself of suspicion in the future, he can call for help in a more obvious and easily identifiable method, such as leaving a scrawled note instead of throwing away his watch."

Qingjian Liuli felt that what he said made sense, but immediately asked strangely: "Why didn't you explain it this way before? Your previous explanation was very weak!"

Takeshi Nanabaru touched his chin and muttered: "Because I'm afraid of accidentally killing Akihiko Kawai."

Qing Jian Liuli was so shocked that she even stuffed the textbook into her bag without even putting it in. She looked at him in surprise and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Takeshi Nanahara did not deny it and said casually: "It's a little bit, but not much. Let's see how we pay the ransom tomorrow. If the ransom is..."

His voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Later, when he saw that Liuli stretched his ears and couldn't hear clearly, he quickly asked: "What if it is? What do you want to say next?"

Takeshi Nanahara came back to his senses, gave her a blow to the head, and said with a smile: "I just feel a little strange, but I am not sure about many things, and I still need to prove it. Let's see the situation tomorrow, but I think both Sayuri and Akihiko Kawai are here It’s good news that he’s still alive, and it’s okay to sleep peacefully for the time being.”

"How are you sure?" Qingjian Liuli was a little anxious, "Tell me, if you don't tell me I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"I don't care if you can sleep or not!" Takeshi Nanahara is no longer in the mood for small talk at the moment. Even if the kidnapping case turns out to be what he guessed, the evidence is hard to find. He still needs to think carefully about how to deal with it and start chasing people away directly. , "Hurry up, it's already past ten o'clock, you will ruin my reputation if you stay here, go home now!"

"Tell me, guessing is fine, I'll help you think about it together!" Qingjian Liuli didn't want to leave, her heart was itching terribly, but she couldn't stand Takeshi Qihara and refused to say anything, and in the end she was kicked out.

She was so angry that she went home with a sullen expression. She casually answered a few questions from her mother before getting into her room. She didn't even take a bath before spreading out "The World's Most Beautiful Detective, Miss Liuli Moss". "Case Collection", first copied the name of the "Sayuri Kidnapping Case" that I encountered today with the location changed, and then punched Watson Nanabahara twice, and then started to look at it in a daze.

According to the kid, there is a high probability that Akihiko Kawai is not an accomplice and is still a victim of the kidnapping case, but why did the kidnappers frame him? This is not good for the kidnappers at all. When he or they run away with the ransom, the empty-handed Akihiko Kawai or the murdered Akihiko Kawai cannot be used as a scapegoat. Why do they do such a useless thing?

Is it really just confusing the direction of the police search?

It can't be that simple...

This should be the biggest doubt in this case!

Also, what does Takeshi Nanahara mean by what he said next? What will happen if the ransom is paid tomorrow? He already has a target of suspicion? If so, who would it be?

Mrs. Chiho? Mrs. Chiho has such a good temperament, she cannot be the culprit, so who could it be? Yoshikawa Tomoda has a deep friendship and has no reason to commit a crime. The collapse of the Takaramiya family will not do him any good at all. The suspicion is very small. On the other hand, Doi Toshio is a bit suspicious. His own sister refused to pay for help and came back so late. But there is no evidence...

Damn it, I can’t think of it, what on earth did that kid think of?

That bitch is so bad. Not only does he change his ways all day long, he also keeps saying half-sentences. It's really annoying. I'm so nice to him, but he treats me like a human being all day long and goes to sleep by himself. It's really annoying. No matter if I can sleep well or not, sooner or later I will kill him with a dump truck!
