Chapter 91 Clothes

"What exactly happened?"

Gao Yuan wondered, "According to you, even if Ms. Komura is released home, she should be under the surveillance of your police. How could this happen?"

"That's not clear. Our police did keep surveillance outside the apartment, but found nothing unusual."

Miwako Sato said, "And what's strange is that the death of the deceased is also very special."

"What do you mean?"

Gao Yuan asked.

Seeing that Gao Yuan wanted to ask further, Sato Miwako asked: "Speaking of which, why is Mr. Akechi here?"

"It's not the case of Masako Komura. There has been no progress at all for so long, so I wanted to see if I can find anything."

Gao Yuan said casually.

"is that so?"

Miwako Sato said strangely, "Let me ask you, does Mr. Akechi have any thoughts on the disappearance of Masao Komura?"

Faced with such a question, Gao Yuan was stunned, thought for a moment and asked, "Did you find anything about the blood stains at the scene after you investigated it?"

"Well, it is indeed the blood of an adult male, but we can't find matching DNA, so we can't be sure whether these blood stains belong to Masaho Komura."

Takagi Wataru said.

"Can't find matching DNA material? Can't they find it at home? Anything similar to hair will do?"

Gao Yuan said doubtfully.

"This is a very strange point. Masazu Komura's home is already in the company. Not to mention any DNA that can be extracted, not even a single fingerprint was left."

Miwako Sato said.

Hearing this answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel helpless - it was just a guess at first, but it has reached this point. It seems that the disappearance of Masabo Komura was carefully planned!

"What about now? What happened to Ms. Komura's death? What's so strange about it?"

"Instead of listening to our story, why not go directly to the scene and see it, Mr. Akechi?"

After Gao Yuan finished asking, Miwako Sato thought for a moment and then said in a tone that sounded like an invitation.

"But, Officer Sato, last time..."

Seeing Sato Miwako say this, Takagi Wataru was a little surprised. After all, the last time he took Gao Yuan to the disappearance scene of Komura Masao privately, Sato Miwako also scolded him.

"It's okay. Mr. Akechi is not an outsider anyway. I heard that Mr. Akechi helped a lot in the incident at Fifteen Nights Village."

Miwako Sato smiled.

Gao Yuan was also a little surprised by this. Although he had helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve several cases recently, he didn't expect that he would be trusted so quickly?

Therefore, Takayuan did not refuse, and after taking the shoe covers and gloves from the police officer, he followed Miwako Sato into the home of Masako Komura, while Wataru Takagi went downstairs in the elevator, as if to obtain access to the building. personnel monitoring information.

Entering the home of Masako Komura, he came to the bathroom where Komura died in early summer.

I saw that the bathroom was equipped with facilities such as a toilet, a washbasin, and a bathtub, and the bathtub was covered with a plastic shower curtain.

Miwako Sato walked to the shower curtain and opened it. As expected, the body of Utsuka Komura was lying there at the moment. This good-looking woman, about thirty years old, died in the bathtub wearing only her underwear.

In the early summer of Xiaocun, Gao Yuan had met him once before in the garage where Mr. Xiaocun disappeared, but he didn't expect that when he saw him again, he would be a corpse.

However, after confirming that the deceased was indeed Xiaocun Chuxia, Gao Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong. After looking up and down carefully, he suddenly said: "Her hair?"

Yes, the difference from the first time we met was that Xiao Cun Chuxia had waist-length hair at that time, but now, she has short hair.

"You discovered it too."

Miwako Sato said, "The deceased's original long hair was cut off and turned into what it is now."

Then he pointed to a pair of scissors sinking in the bathtub filled with water and said, "It looks like it was cut with these scissors."

"What's the cause of death?"

Gao Yuan stepped forward, approached the body and asked.

"She was strangled. Look at the marks on her neck."

Miwako Sato said.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan gently raised the corpse's chin. Going around the neck, you can clearly see the slender constriction grooves and several small scars that look like scratches with fingernails - Yoshikawa line?

Moreover, no other external injuries could be seen on the body, so it seemed that the cause of death was strangulation.

"How's it going? Any ideas?"

Miwako Sato asked.

Gao Yuan thought for a moment, then looked around at the items in the bathroom, and suddenly asked: "Where are the clothes of the deceased?"

"Why?"

"Don't you think it's strange? You are already in the bathroom and have taken off your clothes, why do you keep your underwear on?"

Gao Yuan said.

Sato Miwako was obviously confused by Takato's words, so she had to say: "If you ask about the deceased's clothes, they are on the bed in the bedroom."

Without staying in the bathroom any longer, Gao Yuan turned around and went to the bedroom. Seeing this, Sato Miwako followed.

When I came to the bedroom, I saw women's clothes piled on the bed.

At this time, Sato Miwako seemed to have thought of something, and explained Takato's question just now, "If you have to say it, it is not incomprehensible that the deceased was only wearing underwear. Maybe the deceased took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He was killed by a murderer, so that’s why we see this situation.”

"Then Officer Sato, will you strip down to your underwear in the bedroom and then go to the bathroom to take a shower?"

Gao Yuan asked seriously.

"Ah! What are you talking about!"

Because of Takato's question, Sato Miwako blushed and retorted, "How could I do such an inappropriate thing!"

Seeing Miwako Sato's reaction, Takato felt that his question just now was too straightforward, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was just talking casually."

But soon, Gao Yuan continued in a serious tone: "So, isn't this strange? It would be understandable if a man did this, but I really can't imagine a woman doing this. It usually happens after entering the bathroom. Just take off your clothes again.”

After hearing what Gao Yuan said, Sato Miwako finally understood Gao Yuan's intention.

"That's why you asked where the deceased's clothes were? If the deceased had planned to take a shower, the clothes should have been placed in the bathroom. Is that what you meant?"

"That's right."

As Gao Yuan spoke, he opened the clothes piled on the bed by the deceased and looked at them one by one.

The top is a pair of white socks, the bottom is a thin knee-length skirt, and the bottom is a two-piece style long-sleeved T-shirt——

"strangeness."

A strange sense of dissonance emerged in Gao Yuan's mind, and then he asked Sato Miwako.

"The stacking order of the clothes has not been changed, right?"

"Well, we haven't moved anything in the house so far."

Miwako Sato said, "However, I don't see anything strange about these clothes."

Miwako Sato also responded to the "strange" thing Takato said softly just now.

Putting the clothes back in the same order, Gao Yuan was a little confused. He didn't know what the strange feeling of violation was about just now.

Turning his head and looking at Miwako Sato, who was wearing professional clothes at the moment, he then looked at the clothes on the bed. Suddenly, Gao Yuan understood what this strange sense of dissonance was about!

"I was wrong!"

Gao Yuan said with emotion, "I thought it was the murderer who took off the clothes of the deceased afterwards. But that's not true, the deceased took off his clothes himself!"
