Fujiwara Yuu stood there with a smile on his face, watching the young detective named "Shinichi" leave with his childhood sweetheart, and the plan in his mind was finally completed.
It's just that he wants to be lazy as he is on vacation. It's better to leave the task of finding the key clues to the young people who are full of vigor and vitality. Isn't this also a training for the future great detective?
He looked down at his ringing cell phone. What he had to do now was to motivate another dark-skinned young detective who was interested in reasoning.
"Brother Takashi, what's the situation? The cable car has been stopped for a long time. Has a murder occurred?!" Hattori Heiji asked immediately after seeing the call connected. It can be heard that he is eager to reach the scene of the crime.
"Yes, a murder has indeed occurred. After I move the body to the side, I will ask the administrator to start the cable car."
"Okay, then hurry up!"
After Fujiwara Yuu hung up the phone, he saw the cable car manager, breathlessly leading several plainclothes police officers in windbreakers, to the crime scene. One of the detectives, who looked to be a captain, noticed someone next to the body and immediately shouted:
"How could you stay at the crime scene without permission?!"
"I'm one of us."
Fujiwara Yuu took the trouble to produce his police ID to prove his identity. He now regretted why he dyed his hair in such a conspicuous color. It was really troublesome to explain it every time.
"So this is the Osaka Police Headquarters... But I'm sorry, this is Iwate Prefecture, so please leave it to the Iwate Police Department. I'm Goto from the First Investigation Division."
It would be best if you could successfully solve the case, but the case four years ago was ruled a suicide, so I'm afraid this case won't be solved properly either.
Although Fujiwara Yuu didn't trust these policemen in his heart, he still had to put in some effort. He stood aside quietly and wanted to see if their reasoning could be half as good as that of the young detective.
However, the reality was far from satisfactory. Inspector Goto, who vowed to handle the case, immediately concluded that it was a suicide case without even carefully investigating the scene. It was really sloppy.
"Inspector Goto, could you be more serious when investigating the scene? There are obvious bullet marks on the plastic mat. You don't think the victim could stand up and pose after putting his head against the seat and shooting himself, do you?" Fujiwara Yu walked up to them without hesitation and pointed to the damaged part of the plastic mat. His tone inevitably became a little bad because of their irresponsibility.
Inspector Goto realized that his misjudgment had nearly allowed the real murderer to escape justice, so he ignored Takashi Sosuke's words. He asked his subordinates to take out their cameras to take pictures, then frowned and thought:
"If it wasn't suicide, then it had to be homicide. The guy who rode the cable car with the victim is the biggest suspect in this case."
"That's impossible. Minowa took the cable car alone and had no companions." Oyama Morizo, who had been standing nearby, spoke up, but after saying this he lowered his head, seemingly thinking about something, which looked a little strange.
Inspector Goto looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly spoke, and wanted to ask who he was, but after seeing his appearance clearly, he exclaimed:
"Hmm? Are you Director Oyama, who was also present when the accident happened four years ago?"
"Yes, it's me."
Inspector Goto then took another look at the victim's body. After removing his ski goggles, he realized that the deceased was the popular film actor Minowa Shohei. Similarly, the victim was also the victim of the suicide case four years ago.
He froze at this thought, his gaze involuntarily falling on the half-open ski bag. Could it be that four years ago, like now, the case wasn't a suicide, but a homicide? Could it be a serial murder case disguised as a suicide?
Fujiwara Yuu noticed Inspector Goto's expression changing constantly. He sighed and gave a friendly reminder:
"If we don't start the cable car, the tourists on it might catch a cold or something from sitting in the snow for too long. Then you'll be in trouble, Inspector Goto."
"Oh, right, Takano, quickly move the body to the side. Be careful." Inspector Goto reacted and quickly ordered his subordinates to move the body. At the same time, he took down the ski bag filled with snow and ski equipment and placed them on the snow nearby. As he moved them, he complained, "This murderer is really cunning. He deliberately used this thing to create the atmosphere of a snow woman committing a crime."
After carefully placing the body on the ground, Officer Takano, a junior, looked helplessly at his own captain and asked:
"But Chief, our current line of investigation is completely broken. The victim had no companions, so how did the murderer disappear on the cable car? You have to know that the cable car is quite a distance from the ground, and even if he jumped off, he would have been seen by those behind him, right?"
"Well... this case is more difficult than I thought, but the suspect can be identified." Inspector Goto glanced at Oyama Morizo beside him. It was obvious that he thought the murderer was a member of the filming crew, and the director might have killed people to promote the movie.
You know, once human beings are infected with material desires, they will become greedy.
——
Hattori Heiji was completely restless sitting in the cable car. He really wanted to go to the scene of the crime.
So when the cable car started moving again, he was so excited that he was eager to figure out the case. When he jumped off the cable car, he completely forgot about the injuries of Toyama and Ye Jiao beside him, and hurriedly ran towards Sosuke Takashi who was chatting with Rikuto Katashira.
