Ten forty.
After Fujiwara Yu raised his watch to confirm the time when the second suitcase was found, he bent down to check the body parts inside. This time, in addition to the body parts, there was also a ten-kilogram dumbbell. The murderer must have put it in the suitcase in the hope that it would disappear into the sea without being discovered by others.
The brand and size of the suitcase are the same as the first one, which basically confirms that the person who dumped the body is the same person.
Fujiwara Yuu adjusted his mask slightly. After all, the body parts before him were wrapped in plastic wrap, and the smell was even stronger than the previous suitcase. He tore off the layers of plastic wrap and leaned over to carefully examine the cut surface, finding it very uneven.
It doesn't look like the marks of a chainsaw, but rather the wounds caused by repeated cutting with a blade.
He reached into the suitcase and rummaged through it for a while, even checking the compartments. After making sure there was no identification document proving the victim's identity, he closed the suitcase again and stood up to put on a new pair of gloves.
At this time, Usho Tsuda had already finished recording the first witness's statement. He also asked the nearby staff for a cup of hot tea to comfort the frightened sanitation worker.
After all, as a policeman, it was the first time for Usho Tsuda to encounter a dismemberment case. His stomach felt a little nauseous after smelling the rotten smell, not to mention ordinary citizens... It is estimated that this sanitation worker will not want to eat meat in the next few days.
When Tsuda Usho walked up to Takagi Sosuke, he could smell the stench of corpse on him. He held his breath as much as possible and spoke faster to complete his report:
"Inspector, according to the sanitation worker's statement, she was about to sit down on the bench over there to rest at around 10:30 when she spotted a suitcase floating in the sea. She thought it looked good, thinking it might be useful, so she used a rubbish net to bring it to shore."
"Half past ten? That's only two hours since the last suitcase was found."
Fujiwara Yu held his chin and thought for a while. He asked the park staff for a map of Chiba Prefecture. After circling the locations where the two suitcases were found, he discovered that the places where the bodies were dumped were all around Ubara Coast.
The remaining suitcase that may contain the head should also be in the sea nearby.
After coming to this conclusion, Fujiwara Yu immediately called Officer Ando and asked him to contact the Coast Guard to conduct salvage work in the waters near the Uhara coast, in order to possibly obtain the third suitcase.
Under the command of everyone, the salvage work on the Uhara Coast was carried out in an orderly manner. With the assistance of the coast guard and nearby fishermen, the same suitcase was successfully salvaged in the waters near Matsube Fishing Port.
It was lunchtime, and the coast guard frowned as they dragged the suitcase soaked in seawater to the shore. A group of reporters who rushed to the scene stood outside the yellow cordon, holding up their cameras in an attempt to gain the first right to report.
When Fujiwara Yu saw this scene, he had to use his body to block the camera, or at least have people gather around the suitcase to prevent these reporters from taking pictures of the victim's body.
The zipper of the suitcase was unzipped. After smelling the rotten odor, the faces of several coast guards who had just finished lunch turned ugly. They suppressed the discomfort in their stomachs and stood up straight around the suitcase.
The suitcase contained body parts wrapped in black plastic bags. This time, we were able to finally see the part above the waist, which could be pieced together with the body parts in the other two suitcases to form a complete body.
Tsuda Usho looked at the pieced-together female body with a serious expression. After seeing the head that had been soaked in sea water for a long time and looked like a giant, he couldn't help but ran to the tree nearby and vomited violently. He didn't eat much breakfast in the first place, and he almost vomited bile.
Not knowing whether vomiting could be transmitted from person to person, several coast guards, whose faces already looked grim, could not help but feel nauseous after hearing Usho Tsuda's vomiting, and they all started vomiting while holding onto a tree.
Fujiwara Yu quickly covered the body with a white sheet, ensuring that the body, now without the human barrier, would not be photographed by the reporters. He turned to look at the reporters who had been holding their cameras high, their faces grim after seeing this scene. He moved forward and lifted a corner of the white sheet, trying to find any useful clues on her body.
There were no previous injuries on his body, but this time there was a 15-centimeter cut in the front of his neck, which was cut horizontally directly from the carotid triangle, and even the hyoid bone was cut.
As long as the force is controlled properly, there is a high possibility that the throat will be fatal. It seems that the murderer must have used some method to put the victim into a state where she could not resist, and then took her life cleanly and efficiently.
Could it be someone I know? If it was a stranger, it would be difficult to do this.
Fujiwara Yu's gaze fell on the victim's face, which was swollen beyond recognition. It was impossible to identify the victim by his face, and he did not have any identification documents on him. It was very uncomfortable to see the case come to a standstill.
"Um?"
He suddenly noticed two barely noticeable hairs on the ruffled sleeves. Since the dress was light yellow, the two golden hairs were about five centimeters long and did not look like those of humans from a texture perspective.
Animal hair? This was Fujiwara Yu's first reaction.
He rechecked a certain place in the suitcase and found no other hair, which meant that the two animal hairs were most likely from the crime scene... The murderer might be engaged in an animal-related profession, or have pets at home.
After coming to this conclusion, Fujiwara Yuu covered the white cloth again, walked over to Tsuda Usho, who was vomiting bile and couldn't spit it out, and said:
