Tokyo Police

Vol 8 Chapter 13: flaw

Professor Eiji Noguchi, who committed suicide by burning charcoal, worked for a long time in the Faculty of Letters of the University of Tokyo and has extraordinary attainments in modern linguistics. ?шщЩ.suimEnG.1a But in addition to being a famous linguist, Professor Noguchi is also an amazing translator. Especially good at translating contemporary literary works from European and American countries. This has also brought huge economic benefits to Professor Noguchi. The annual royalties paid by the publishing house to Professor Noguchi are as high as 15 million yen. For such a well-respected retired professor, Lin Xiuyi couldn't think of any reason why he would burn charcoal at home to commit suicide.

And Shuntaro Kobayashi, who died unexpectedly in an explosion accident, has an equally prosperous life after retirement. He himself once served as the principal of a famous private school in Tokyo for a long time. He also served as a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Education Commission. According to the police investigation, Principal Kobayashi receives a fixed pension of 10 million yen every year alone. A happy old man like this died unexpectedly from an explosion caused by a gas leak. In addition to making people feel regretful, there is also a trace of curiosity at the same time. Why does an old man who has been engaged in education for many years take sleeping pills while boiling water? Is this also an intentional suicide? It's just that an explosion caused by aging wires in the end masks this fact.

Eiji Noguchi and Shuntaro Kobayashi have more in common than that. The two also had to live alone because of the death of their spouse and their children living abroad for many years. They also thought that they had lost the care of their wife, and the two had to rely on a housekeeping company to deal with daily chores.

It is said that no coincidence is a book, but as a policeman, the thing that you least believe in is the so-called coincidence. From the living background of the two deceased above, Lin Xiuyi can find too many similarities, which makes Lin Xiuyi feel that there is some possible connection between the two incidents.

Is it a crime against the elderly? But there seems to be nothing unusual about the bank account of the deceased! Also, knowing how to steer police investigations into suicides and accidents is not something a rookie can do. You must know that after committing the murder, you still have the courage to stay at the scene and calmly deal with the traces of your stay at the scene, which requires a very strong psychological quality. So, if this is really a serial crime case, then there are likely other victims who died at the hands of the murderer.

"Oh, it doesn't look good!"

Lin Xiuyi stood up from the chair and stretched his stiff neck. Then he took the photo of Professor Noguchi's suicide scene from the desk and put it back into the information bag. He turned on the computer, typed Eiji Noguchi's words into the browser, and a lot of information about Professor Noguchi appeared on the page.

"Teachers and students of the University of Tokyo mourn Professor Noguchi"

Seeing that the official memorial article of Dongda appeared on the webpage. Lin Xiuyi immediately clicked in curiously.

This article is an article officially published by the University of Tokyo to commemorate Professor Noguchi's lifetime achievements. Most of the writing in the entire article downplays Professor Noguchi's suicide, and mainly focuses on some of Professor Noguchi's academic achievements and teaching and educating people during his lifetime.

Lin Xiuyi read the article carefully. There are many photos in the article that Lin Xiuyi saw for the first time. Among them are the photos of Professor Noguchi getting his degree at Dongda University when he was young, and Professor Noguchi studying abroad and even attending international academic activities. But when Lin Xiuyi saw these pictures one after another. But suddenly found a detail worthy of attention.

"Why does Professor Noguchi wear a hakama woven with hakama instead of a suit every time he attends a major event?"

Lin Xiuyi looked at Professor Noguchi's photos from the beginning to the end, except that he wore western clothes when he was studying at Dongda University and studying abroad in his early years. In almost all the photos at formal occasions, Professor Noguchi is wearing a hakama woven. But why was Professor Noguchi wearing a suit when he committed suicide?

At this moment, Lin Xiuyi seemed to have finally found a bit of unreasonable place. An old man who was accustomed to wearing a hakama with a hakama, suddenly put on a dress when he said goodbye to the world. Does the old man still have the mind to change his dressing style before he dies? If that's not the case, then why doesn't he wear a tatou hakama? Could it be that it was too far-fetched to send it to the dry cleaner and couldn't find a replacement for a while. Could it be that someone dressed him in a dress that looked more like he was going to commit suicide? It is quite possible!

As soon as Lin Xiu thought of this, he immediately printed out the photos on the web page one by one. Then he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Kono-kun.

"Moses Moses?"

Kono-kun, who received the call, answered in a low voice.

"Kuno-kun, does Professor Noguchi like to wear a hakama with a pattern when he attends formal occasions?"

Lin Xiu didn't wait for Kono-kun to be polite, so he couldn't wait to ask first.

"Hey! But, you... how did you know?"

Kono Shohei felt a little strange when he heard Lin Xiuyi break Professor Noguchi's habit. This little secret is known only to those who are familiar with Professor Noguchi. How did Lin Xiuyi discover this detail?

"So I guessed right?"

Lin Xiuyi's hanging heart finally fell, and now he finally caught the clues left by the possible murderer. Now Lin Xiuyi has a lot of confidence to speculate that Professor Noguchi did not commit suicide, but the murderer deliberately forged all this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hey! It is indeed the case! Although Professor Noguchi studied abroad for many years when he was young, he himself prefers traditional Japanese clothing. I remember when he attended our graduation ceremony that year, he was wearing a hakama with a hakama..."

Kono Shohei once again confirmed Lin Xiuyi's guess.

"This is the problem! Kono-kun, how likely do you think Professor Noguchi would have been wearing western clothes when he committed suicide?"

Lin Xiu asked Kono Sho with confidence.

"This...how is this possible?"

Kono Xiangping replied in surprise.

"Of course it's impossible! But the murderer didn't know this. He thought he was wise to arrange Professor Noguchi's death as a suicide by burning charcoal, but he was superfluous for Professor Noguchi, who was accustomed to wearing a hakama. It seems to be a more formal dress, and it is not easy for people who don't know Professor Noguchi to see the problem. And Professor Noguchi died in Sapporo, so the Hokkaido police ignored it without knowing it. A detail..."
