Chapter 30



The Second Investigation Division is mainly responsible for intelligent criminals. Most of these criminals have a certain social status and high IQ. Their criminal methods are mostly high-tech. If you want to catch them with certain evidence, you need to spend a lot of time squatting and tracking them to collect evidence.

In order to track down the unknown source of a certain congressman's campaign funds, the people from the Second Investigation Division have been keeping watch for nearly half a month, and finally caught him today.

Not only that, they also received evidence, and Ginzo Nakamori took Miyazaki Ren and drove anxiously to pick up the witness.

As soon as I arrived at the scene, I saw a group of colleagues from the Investigation Section getting out of the car, led by old acquaintances Inspector Megure and Date Kou.

"Inspector Megure." Nakamori Ginzo was the first to greet him. His face was a little dark, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Is there a case here?"

"Ah, Nakamori-kun, we received a call from the police saying there was a homicide." Inspector Megure smiled innocently, "Nakamori-kun, what are you doing here?"

Nakamori Ginzo's heart skipped a beat. "I'm here to collect witnesses. Is the person who reported the case named Kawada?"

Inspector Megure nodded, and Nakamori Ginzo and Miyazaki Ren both started to conspire in their hearts. It was too much of a coincidence that murder happened right after they presented evidence.

Seeing him like this, Officer Megure was surprised and asked, "Could it be that the witness that Brother Nakamori wants to pick up is also named Kawada?"

Nakamori Ginzo nodded, and without further greeting, he strode into Kawata's residence, followed closely by Miyazaki Ren.

The Kawada residence is decorated in a warm style, with many paintings hanging on the walls and sticky notes with English words written on them posted everywhere in the house.

As soon as we entered, we saw a woman in her forties hugging a corpse and crying sadly. The police officers on the scene all frowned secretly. First, the scene was destroyed, and collecting evidence would become much more difficult.

After a brief questioning, it was learned that the woman was named Kawata Eiko, 43 years old, a full-time housewife. The deceased was her husband, who was also the witness that Nakamori Ginzo and Miyazaki Ren wanted to meet, named Kawata Mitsumasa, 46 years old, a well-known painter in the country.

It was Kawata Eiko who called the police. After being persuaded by the police, she finally let go of her husband's body. She was wiping her tears and said bitterly, "Anata's death must be related to Chonan Masazo! Before she died, Anata kept repeating 'cho, cho'. It must be Chonan Masazo!"

Changnan Masazo lived next door to Kawata's house, and after hearing the woman's testimony, the police quickly summoned him.

"Although I do have many disagreements with Kawata in art, he was the one who taught me. How could I hurt Kawata? I have been in a video conference with my partners today and have not gone out. I am innocent." When Changnan Masazo heard the police's inquiries, he immediately cried out for justice. He was in tears and very sad, just like Kawata Eiko.

Nakamori Ginzo and Miyazaki Ren did not leave. The deceased was a witness to be called in, and the two needed to collect enough evidence to determine whether it was related to the bribery case.

Kawata Eiko and Chonan Masazo each have their own story, and the dispute is unresolved. Chonan Masazo has a partner from the video conference as a witness, while Kawata Eiko has the identification of Kawata Mitsumasa before his death.

After a thorough search, the police found footprints belonging to Shozo Nagami at Kawata's house. In a nearby grove, there was also a large doll with his face printed on it that had not been burned.

"The murderer is you, Chonan Masazo. You used a large puppet to pretend to be in a video conference and pretended not to be there, and then sneaked into Kawata's house to commit the crime. There were water stains on your shoes. You were trying to clean the traces of mud belonging to Kawata's house on your shoes." Nakamori Ginzo seemed to be possessed by Sherlock Holmes, holding his head high as he stated his reasoning.

Chang Nan was sitting on the ground paralyzed, covering his face with his hands. "I admit that I was ready to kill someone, but I never thought of hurting Kawada. He is so outstanding and talented, how could I bear to hurt him?"

Nakamori Ginzo was confused. "If you wanted to kill Mr. Kawada, then why did you come to Kawada's house? Could it be Mrs. Eko?"

"Yes, it was this woman. Her existence only hindered Kawada. Not only did she pester me every day, she was even delusional, thinking that I had a crush on her and pestered Kawada to move. I wanted to kill this woman today, but I heard her crying while hugging Kawada and calling the police. I panicked and ran home to get rid of those things."

When Kawata Eiko heard his words, she was stunned and forgot to cry. After a while, she seemed to calm down. She suddenly rushed over, grabbed Changnan Zhengzan's hair, and tore him madly, "Okay, I was wondering why you always flirt with me every time we meet. You really have bad intentions."

"Ah!" Changnan Zhengsan screamed as his face was scratched. A man who was just over 1.8 meters tall was beaten by a petite woman who was just over 1.6 meters tall. He had no power to fight back.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the police had to pull the two people apart. After all, this was still a case that was being solved.

But the case is also shrouded in mystery. Is Changnan Zhengsan pretending to be lying? If it is not him, who is the murderer?

At this time, Date Kou and Miyazaki Ren came over with the autopsy report. "Officer Megure, after preliminary examination, the deceased died suddenly. The specific cause of sudden death requires further autopsy to know."

"What? Sudden death?" Because of the mixture of Kawata Eiko's report and Chonan Masazo's report, and the fact that the timing of Kawata Mitsumasa's death was too strange, everyone thought it was a murder case, and they didn't expect it to be sudden death.

Miyazaki Ren breathed a sigh of relief. After examining the body, he basically concluded that Kawata Hikaru died suddenly of illness. However, since he was from the Second Investigation Section, he could not intervene. He could only drag Date Kou to urge the police in charge of the autopsy. As soon as he received the report, he immediately came to report.

"Mrs. Kawata, does Mr. Kawata have any related illness? Or has he been feeling unwell in the past few days?" asked Ida Ko.

Kawata Eiko recalled, "Anada has coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. He has been particularly tired in the past two days, but I thought it was because of the exhaustion from painting. Oh, I didn't expect..."

Changnan Zhengsan jumped out again, "It's all your fault for not taking good care of Kawada——"

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Yi Dahang picked him up and interrupted him, "Mr. Changnan, I believe you will cooperate with the police to solve the case and will not mess things up, right?"

Yi Dahang smiled kindly, and Chang Nan Zhengsan immediately shut up, nodded, and stopped making a fuss.

"If he didn't kill him, what did Mr. Kawata mean by 'cho, cho' before he died?" Ginzo Nakamori asked puzzledly, touching his chin.

Inspector Megure was thinking wildly, "Could it be that Mrs. Kawata heard it wrong? For example, aren't Draw and Cho the same?"

What's the difference? Miyazaki Ren was confused. But when he thought about the strange pronunciation of English by Japanese people, Miyazaki Ren, whose English was too standard, suddenly understood. He scratched his hair in frustration. He had fallen into a misunderstanding. "Mrs. Kawata, what are these small English cards on the home?"

"Anada loves to learn. He is learning English recently, so I put English cards on the corresponding items."

Above the paintings on the wall are various English cards with words related to painting. One of them has the word "Draw" written on it above a dark green three-dimensional texture painting.

Miyazaki Ren took down the painting. The back of the painting was uneven, as if something was hidden on it. He picked it out with his hand and took out a letter. When he opened it, he found a handwritten letter and a photo.

In the letter, Mitsumasa Kawata described in detail how he discovered the shady transactions among the congressmen. He wrote the letter to avoid any "man-made accidents" on his own and to keep it as evidence.

That photo was exactly the one that the Investigation Section 2 had been investigating recently, showing a congressman doing business with someone.

It turns out that before his death, Kawada Mitsumasa did not testify against the murderer, but wanted to instruct his wife to hand over the evidence he had hidden to the police.

When the police officers at the scene saw the contents of the certificate, they took off their hats and bowed to Mitsumasa Kawata's body.

The case of Mitsumasa Kawata came to an end, Eiko Kawata cried sadly, and Shozo Nagami was arrested on charges of "attempted murder".

On the way back, the car unfortunately broke down. Nakamori Ginzo stayed behind to wait for the tow truck, while Miyazaki Ren took the Investigation Section's car back to the police station.

"Hey, what is this?" Miyazaki Ren just sat down and felt something under her butt. She pulled it and found it was a banner. "Hahaha, squad leader, did you get the banner? Who gave it to you?

Ida Hang shook his head. "No, this is something the police station is preparing to give to a caring citizen. We received a threat from a bomber some time ago, and thanks to a caring citizen, the situation was resolved perfectly, so we prepared a banner to give to him."

Hmm? The bomber from a while ago? Miyazaki Ren had some guesses in her mind, and when she opened the banner, it really said, "To the enthusiastic citizen Kenshinori Ota, who abides by the law and disciplines, and is a model citizen who is brave and righteous."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha" Miyazaki Ren couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Inspector Megure and Date Kou looked at him strangely, wondering what he was laughing at.

Miyazaki Ren waved his hands, laughing so hard that he was out of breath. "It's okay. I'm just happy that we have so many enthusiastic citizens in Tokyo. Officer Megure, I think this matter must be promoted vigorously so that everyone knows that we are a family of police and citizens in Tokyo!"

Date Kou looked at Miyazaki Ren suspiciously, feeling that this colleague was up to something bad.

The simple-minded Inspector Megure patted Miyazaki Ren's shoulder excitedly and said, "Miyazaki's suggestion is very good. I will report it to my superiors."

"We should find a few more authoritative newspapers at that time. Everyone must know about these responsible citizens and the two-way efforts of the police and the public." Miyazaki Ren suggested enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Miyazaki, do you have any other suggestions?" Inspector Megure took out a small notebook and wrote down the suggestions.

"I think the influence of print media alone is not enough. I suggest that online publicity should also keep up, and it would be best if we could buy a trending search or something. The more this incident is publicized, the more it can prove that our police are doing a good job. It can also encourage many people to actively cooperate with the police in the future, and it can also improve the credibility of the police..."

Miyazaki Ren said a lot of things, and Inspector Megure followed suit and took notes.

Although Inspector Megure's reasoning ability is not that good, his execution ability is very strong. In less than a week, Kenshinori Toda, who had refused many times in vain, finally forced a smile and accepted interviews from many media under the enthusiastic invitation of Inspector Megure.

The top headline and hot search of the newspaper that day was "Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Fuda", with a high-definition frontal photo of Fuda Kensuke.

Although Kenshin Oda himself refused to appear in the photo, with the help of "kind-hearted people", many newspapers and media received his photos. The man in the photo had a simple and honest smile on his face.

In order to increase sales and gain popularity, newspapers and media ignored the person's wishes not to be photographed and published the photos. For a time, Kenshinori Toda's photos were widely circulated.

Miyazaki Ren, who was laughing like crazy, did not forget to take photos as souvenirs and sent them to Gin and Vermouth who were far away abroad. Then, she received two huge sums of money as she wished.

Rum, the god of Miyazaki Ren, the god of wealth~
