Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Nagano Prefecture Case 2
"Zhu Fu Gao Ming, that's a nice name. Just call me An You."
The young man stretched out his hand, his slender fingers wrapped in white gloves, and shook An You's hand. He nodded slightly, "Yes, I came here because I received a call from the police. There's a case that needs our assistance in the investigation."
His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp.
An You: "Yes, I called the police. There was a murder here."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "I'll go check out the scene first."
An You grabbed his shirt without hesitation. Eliciting a surprised look from him, he explained, "The scene was bloody and brutal. The body was headless."
Zhu Fu Gaoming's expression froze, but he calmly began to comfort An You, "So you were the first to discover the scene. Please forget what happened just now. And thank you for reminding me, I still need to check it out."
An You let go of his hand and let him check. He didn't dare to take a single step forward. Only by standing among the righteous police officers could he relieve the chill that was emanating from his body.
Who could have imagined how terrifying it would be to open the door and see a headless figure? It was already dusk when they opened the door, and the entire room was utterly dark, with only red stains covering the floor. It created a terrifying scene. The faint, lingering smell of blood on the floor made his stomach turn sour.
Oh God, please spare him. He really just wanted to come to this place to explore the royal gossip and didn't want to face the blood all over the ground. Who will save him?
Just as I was shivering, someone patted my shoulder. I turned around and saw a scarred face. The man looked ferocious and seemed to be extremely destructive to my mood.
Behind him was a young woman with delicate makeup and long hair tied up, which highlighted her clean and neat temperament. However, she was also wearing a police uniform. An You immediately understood their identities: two police officers.
"You are the first person to discover the crime scene."
An You was intimidated by his aura. Her whole body stiffened, and she nodded. "It's just me and Sugita Jiro, the two of us."
The man narrowed his eyes. One of his eyes was already injured, making him look even more terrifying. He leaned forward, his tall figure giving off an even greater sense of pressure. "In other words, it's not ruled out that you are the murderer."
An You's pupils suddenly trembled. Before he could deny it, he heard a steady voice behind him, speaking over his shoulder to the one-eyed man, "Yamato is a good helper. Don't threaten or intimidate innocent people."
The man known as Yamato Gansuke snorted, raised his head, and his gaze fell on Zhufu Gaoming. "Have you visited the crime scene? Do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded solemnly, resting his chin on one hand as he pondered for a moment. "The death was extremely tragic. The murderer must have had a deep hatred for the deceased."
Yamato Gansuke frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but he also felt that this case was too bizarre.
Zhu Fu Gaoming turned to ask An You, "By the way, Mr. An You who called the police, how did you realize something was wrong?"
An You answered truthfully, "I didn't notice anything wrong. I was planning to visit Sugita Jiro's brother with him, and I found the door unlocked. So I tried to push it open, but it was blocked from the inside. When I opened it, I saw this tragedy."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming, "So you didn't go inside? You don't know what happened inside."
An You was a little confused. "What happened inside? I didn't go in. I just saw the deceased at the door, so I ran out out of fear and called the police."
"So you didn't know there were three other bodies in the bedroom, killed in the same way. They were Sugita Ichiro's wife and two children?"
An You felt horrified when she heard this, and got goose bumps all over her body. "I really don't know about this. I didn't go in there."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming said, "Well, of course I believe this. There are no fingerprints or footprints of yours in it."
Yamato Gansuke put one hand in his pocket. "Indeed, the forensic examination just now revealed several cuts on the deceased's neck. Those were the result of the weapon not being successful on the first try. The horizontal cuts on the scars look like they were made by an axe. This means that before that, the deceased must have been conscious and was about to escape, but the murderer swung the axe at him more than ten times in a short period of time, hitting him in the neck until he was completely killed."
The cold wind blew, and the strands of hair on his forehead stuck to his forehead, making him feel a little pain in his head.
An You was completely overwhelmed. You know, it was already 7:30 in the evening.
It was already completely dark, with only the lights on in the villa not far away. The police were taking samples inside. They were also very busy with the case, so there was very little light outside, except for the street lights.
Small insects fluttered around the tangled poles, barely illuminating the area where he stood.
An You now has only endless fear of darkness and is extremely close to light. He can't wait to climb up the telephone pole to get the light he has always dreamed of.
After hearing Yamato Gansuke's detailed description, I felt like my soul was about to fly away.
An You took small steps and moved forward until she was completely close to Zhu Fu Gaoming. He was relatively slender, but also strong and reliable. Feeling the warm body temperature where their arms were connected, the panic disappeared a little.
Compared to the inhuman Yamato Gansuke, Zhufu Gaoming was obviously more thoughtful. He felt the person squeezing towards his arm. If he was not unfamiliar with the person, he would probably have climbed over his head to avoid him.
I felt that the expression on his face could no longer be described as simple fear, but rather as one that was about to burst into tears and ready to cry for his parents at any time.
Poor child, Zhu Fu Gaoming sighed in his heart. This child doesn’t look very old, eighteen or twenty years old?
Anyway, he is at the age of going to school. The reason why I am so sure is that his eyes show no signs of being worn down by time.
Those who grow older and understand the truth of society often have cold and empty eyes, as if all their emotions have been sucked away, and they are like walking corpses.
His eyes were bright, lively, and innocent, a ray of hope untouched by persecution. Some who saw them wanted to destroy him, while others loved him for it. But he always felt that those who protected him were greater than those who destroyed him. Just as darkness could never triumph over light.
Zhu Fu Gaoming raised his arm slightly to make it easier for him to get into his protective circle.
"Okay, Yamato Gansuke, there's no need to go into the details."
Yamato Gansuke said, "Oh."
After a while, he thought of another topic, as if chatting, "Where are you from, kid, and why are you looking for Sugita Ichiro?"
An You: "I came from Beihua Town. We met through the post. I just wanted to find someone to discuss niche texts with."
Yamato Gansuke: "I see."
There was no follow-up to Yamato Gansuke's case. After all, there was really no way to start this matter, and it was not easy to conduct an investigation.
An You stood under the cold street light for a while and felt that her body had finally warmed up a little.
Zhu Fu Gaoming turned around and asked, "Where do you live? Should I take you back first?"
An You's expression suddenly changed, and she grabbed Zhu Fu Gaoming's arm, "I don't want to go back!"
Yamato Gansuke was startled by his loud voice. He glanced at Anyou and said, "That's so loud."
Although Zhu Fu Gaoming was emotionally stable and calm, he still couldn't help but be curious, "Why are you so resistant?"
An You: "Because I don't have a place to live at the moment, I originally planned to live in Sugita Jiro's house, but Sugita Jiro's house is very close to this villa. It's a haunted house, you know? I don't want to live near a haunted house."
After hearing his reasons, Yamato Gansuke couldn't help but mutter, "So you're still a coward."
An You was speechless for a while. Please don’t say such sarcastic words.
Uehara Yui elbowed him and said, "Just shut up."
He then turned his gaze to An You: "You don't have to be afraid. We won't ignore you. The environment here is very dangerous. We don't know if the perpetrator will return. For your safety, you can stay at our house temporarily."
Yamato Gansuke: "Wait, who are we? You're a girl and you want to bring a man to your home?"
Uehara Yui: "What does it matter? He is a boy, not a man."
Yamato Gansuke: "Boy? Is he real?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming was getting a headache from listening to the two of them arguing, and he also felt that it was not appropriate to continue staying in a dangerous place. "How about this, you come to my house and stay for a few days."
An You didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. She received an invitation from Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was more reliable than the strong man next to her who could knock down several of her own men in a circle, and the quiet beauty with cold white skin. Moreover, he looked similar to an old friend. When An You saw him, she felt more secure.
"It's getting late. I'll take him back first and start investigating tomorrow."
"Alright, let's let that group demonstrate their capabilities and see what useful information they can uncover. We can't always be the ones doing the hard work."
Zhu Fu Gaoming came alone, and left with a small burden.
The child was holding his bag. His face was not in a good state. He looked tired, pale, and a little panicked. He stared at the lights flashing outside the window in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhufu Takaaki has his own mansion in Nagano Prefecture. Similar to most single-family houses, there is a security wall in front of his yard. Inside is an old house with a slightly Zen-like decoration style, which was built according to his preferences.
An You looked up at the brightly lit courtyard. The house was equipped with modern voice-controlled lights that would automatically light up when people walked by. It was a sliding door design.
Zhu Fu Gaoming led him into a Japanese-style room. In traditional Japanese-style rooms, tatami mats are placed on the ground instead of being a bed.
An You didn’t care about these things, whether to sleep on a big bed like the one in the villa or something else.
He put his backpack in.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of splashing water. The sound was not small, but it scared An You so much that he jumped up. You know, he and Zhu Fu Gao Ming had just returned to the house, where did the terrifying sound of water come from?
Zhu Fu Gaoming seemed to have reacted as he explained, "Don't worry, that's the sound of the smart toilet flushing in the bathroom."
"Your home is absolutely safe, right? No, you will protect me if I encounter danger, right?"
"Of course. It's my duty to protect you."
Zhu Fu Gaoming's voice was steady. He made a cup of hot tea at home and handed it to the suspicious An You. His round face turned pale and helpless, full of horror. An You lowered his head and sipped it. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he saw that his face had relaxed a lot due to the steaming heat, so he picked up another teacup.
After sitting down, he began to organize his thoughts. "This case took place in a remote mansion. We currently have too few clues. We need more investigation and clues. Mr. An You, have you found anything else that seems out of place?"
An You held a cup of hot tea and recalled the structure of the room. "It's strange. I'm not sure if it's strange or not. When we went there, the window of that room was open a little bit."
Thinking about how he touched the door handle with his hand at that time, he thought the door was broken, but he didn't expect that there was a half-sitting corpse behind the door, and his hand almost touched it.
Suddenly I felt like my hands were going to be dirty.
"Su, uh, Mr. Zhufu, do you feel something is wrong?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, making a tapping sound. His eyes were sharp and clear, as if he could easily see through any disguise. "For now, this is a case of burglary and murder, but there are very few traces left at the scene. It can be seen that the murderer is a meticulous person."
An You: "Is there no way to completely find the murderer?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming shook his head: "Any clues at the scene may become the key to solving the case. It all depends on the final results of the investigation."
The longer they talked, the more eerie and creepy An You felt. The conversation came to a deadlock and the room was filled with a quiet atmosphere. Soon he felt Zhu Fu Gaoming getting up and preparing to leave.
An You suddenly came to her senses. Oh no, the only brave person in the family was about to leave.
So she grabbed his sleeve and blurted out in front of his puzzled gaze, "Mr. Zhufu, I want to sleep with you."
The fair-skinned beauty with black hair and almond-shaped eyes coughed softly, choking on her tea. A look of surprise spread across her face, as if she hadn't expected him to speak so arrogantly. "You, do you know what you're saying?"
An You nodded obediently, "I know, I know. I don't dare to sleep alone. Let's sleep together."
Before he finished speaking, the calm-faced man decisively turned and left, leaving An You with a cold back, "No."
An Youer tried to stop her, "Oh, no."
There was no use trying to keep him, he was still left in the living room. He was in the unfamiliar Nagano Prefecture and encountered such a bloody case, which was more thrilling than any case he had experienced before. It almost won the title of the most terrifying scene of the year. He was eager to go home.
No, the flower grower has already come to this point and will not allow him to retreat easily.
Moreover, this is a rare opportunity and we cannot give up just like that. Besides, we still have Zhufushi Gaoming here. This Nagano Prefecture police officer looks reliable and will definitely be able to solve the case as soon as possible.
An You, who was suspicious even when sleeping, felt that there were ominous movements outside at any time. He woke up from time to time and checked around to see if there was anything that shouldn't be there, such as a headless corpse.
After finally making it to dawn, An You finally ended her suffering. She crawled to the door of Zhu Fu Gaoming's room early in the morning, like a resentful and lonely soul, waiting for the first ray of morning light.
Zhu Fugaoming slept quite well. He heard the sound of footsteps outside the room. At first he thought that the child had gotten up early, but when he got dressed and opened the door, he saw a figure lying at the door and was still startled.
Zhu Fu Gaoming: "You, why are you here so early in the morning? Didn't you sleep?"
An You: "I slept. I was scared, so I woke up early."
Zhu Fu Gaoming looked up and saw the distinct dark circles under his eyes. He immediately understood everything. It was obvious that the child was sleeping restlessly because of fear.
As he adjusted his suit jacket, his every move was being closely watched. The other person's gaze was sticky and sharp, probably out of curiosity. Wherever he went, that gaze followed him. Even putting on his clothes became heavy and he felt embarrassed.
Zhu Fu Gaoming finished adjusting the last cuff of his sleeve with a slightly stiff movement. Then, calming down, he walked over to An You. After hesitating for a moment, he patted his shoulder, his hand movements being extremely stiff. "So that's how it is. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
An You: "But I always sleep alone. You don't want me to sleep with you."
Zhu Fu Gaoming was choked by his words again. This brat who was so outspoken was really good at making trouble for others. He tried to pass over the topic calmly, "I'm going to continue the inspection at the scene today. Do you want to come with me?"
An You: "Come together, I still need to go check on Sugita Jiro. After all, the victim is his relative, and I didn't have time to contact him last night."
After getting into the police car, we appeared at the remote villa scene with Morobushi Takaaki. It was already daytime when we arrived at Sugita Ichiro's villa area again, even though it was cloudy. This could reduce the bloodstains all over the secret room.
An You stood at the door and looked inside. The body had been carried away, leaving only bloodstains all over the room. When she walked in, she found that it was indeed a tragic scene. Not only the floor, but also the walls, tables, bed, and other places were all bright red, with traces of dragging. Of course, the color on the bed was the darkest.
Zhu Fugaoming, wearing white gloves, and several detectives around him, once again investigated the strange things around them. It is said that men who work hard are the sexiest, and it is true, but he would not step forward to get involved.
Jiro Sugita was also called to the scene by the police, but his condition looked even worse. His eyes were bloodshot and he walked unsteadily. If he was just decadent before, now he was just too sad.
The police asked for some specific information about Sugita Ichiro and whether his brother had any enemies before the incident. Sugita Jiro shook his head and said, "My brother is very kind. I really can't imagine anyone hating him so much. He didn't lock the door because he knew I would go to his house for dinner that night. I didn't expect to suffer such a misfortune."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "Well, the possibility of burglary and murder cannot be ruled out."
"Where were you before this incident happened?"
Sugita Ichiro lost himself in memories: "I started out at 4 p.m. to buy some ingredients for dinner. It took quite a while because I was walking. When I got back, I had planned to go straight to my brother's house for dinner, but unexpectedly I ran into Mr. Yasuyu. I then entertained him at my home, and only then did I think about going to my brother's house together."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "What is your relationship with An You?"
Ichiro Sugita: "I'm a fan of niche languages. I met Mr. Anyou on an archaeology forum. He was asking about a niche language, and I happened to have some knowledge of it. So I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to take on a research commission to supplement my family income. We're kind of an employer-employee relationship."
Yamato Gansuke wandered over from the crime scene and intervened, "In other words, you weren't there at the time. If you had been there, you might have encountered something bad as well."
Sugita Jiro's face was ashen: "I would rather hope that it was me who was killed, not my brother."
The sadness on his face was so intense that it almost became tangible. It was the sorrow of losing a loved one, which made people feel sad.
An You felt that he needed comfort, but unfortunately he had no experience in comforting others, so he racked his brains and tried to come up with words of comfort from his meager knowledge base.
"Don't be too sad. Life is unpredictable. It's all about the big intestines and the small intestines."
"..." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Zhu Fu Gaoming give him a faint warning.
Zhu Fu Gaoming clapped his hands and said, "I understand. Thank you for accepting the investigation. Also, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."
His last words seemed to have touched a nerve in Sugita Ichiro. He suddenly covered his face and burst into tears. The seven-foot-tall man cried without caring about his image, with snot running down his face.
Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. A slightly sad expression appeared on his usually dignified and ascetic face, which he quickly hid.
Jiro Sugita was too emotional, so the police asked him to go back and rest for a while and he was not required to participate in the rest of the investigation.
Zhufu Gaoming and Yamato Gansuke also met up with Uehara Yui and talked in the villa.
An You quietly left the room and leaned against the door. On one side was the warm sun, and on the other side was the sleepiness from a sleepless night. She couldn't help yawning.
When no one was paying attention, completely unaware that his every move was being recorded, Yamato Gansuke bumped Zhufu Gaoming's shoulder with his shoulder and said, "Why is that kid so sleepy? Did you let him sleep on the street last night?"
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "That's not the case. He has cast a shadow on the scene and has not rested."
Yamato Gansuke: "Oh, no wonder, we often come into contact with these cases. Although we are shocked, we have strong psychological qualities and can barely suppress our fear. These young people can't do that."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "I'll go tell him to go to the car to rest, wait for me for a while."
Just as An You closed his eyes, he felt a gentle push. In the sunlight, a slender young man in a dark blue suit stood opposite him and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling very sleepy? If you are not feeling well, you should go back to the car and rest for a while."
An You hesitated a little, his eyes falling on the car parked on the road, which was empty.
Zhu Fu Gaoming seemed to understand his concerns and said, "Don't worry, I'll sleep with you in the car before leaving."
Leading An You to the back seat, An You rested her head on the leather seat. Zhu Fu Gao Ming took out a blanket from the trunk and covered An You with it. His eyes were gentle and his voice was calm. "Go to sleep. It's safe in the car."
The face that looked similar to Scotland was looking at her with watery eyes. An You seemed to have returned to the stage when she and Scotland were getting along well with each other. At that time, she was also so dependent on Scotland.
But an unexpected discovery scared him away. Being a gay was impossible, not possible in this life!!!
Just stay away from it and wait for Scotland to give up.
Zhu Fugaoming kept his promise and stayed outside the car. When he saw the people in the car rolling around in the back seat, he kneaded and squeezed the blanket. After a while, he finally couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore and fell asleep.
Seeing that he was safe, Zhu Fu Gaoming went back to the villa area to investigate.
