Chapter 2050 2058 [Case Closed]
Jiang Xia: "When the deceased was hoisted up, the hemp rope was dragged by the heavy steel and rubbed violently against the eaves and railings. That's why there are so many scratches on the railings, and the hemp rope, which should have been brand new, also has some signs of being burned. In addition, if you go to the surface of the eaves to explore, you should be able to find signs of friction there."
Inspector Megure nodded as he listened, but he always felt that something was not right.
Officer Sato frowned and thought for a while, looking at the other suspects with suspicion: "But if this is the case, is there more than one murderer? - The deceased weighs more than 200 kilograms. According to the method just now, after he was hung on the top of the tower, the murderer would cut the hemp rope on the dry well side, and then tie the broken rope to the railing to pretend suicide.
"To accomplish this step, we have to ensure that the deceased will not fall when the rope is cut. Could it be that there was another person helping Manager Kajimura hold the rope, and that person was able to hold a 200-pound corpse?"
As she spoke, her eyes passed over the thin abbot of Tamhai and the temple manager, and stopped at Monk Chunhai.
"!" Chun Hai crossed his arms and instinctively hid his muscular body, "I didn't, it's not me!"
Sato Miwako looked at the temple manager silently again: Although this person looks thin, I heard that the sweeping monks are very hidden...
The temple manager was startled: "It's not me either!"
Sato Miwako's gaze then shifted to Hashimoto Maya.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." What? Is it my fault that I'm tall?
Having said that, how can a police officer judge a person by his appearance? Look at the girl next to him, Curacao. Although she is a woman, she can probably hold up a person weighing 400 pounds, let alone 200 pounds.
Curacao noticed his malicious gaze: "?"
Although I don't know what this new subordinate of Wuzo is thinking, I have a feeling that it is not a good thing. As expected, there is no good person around Wuzo.
The two men exchanged murderous looks for a while. When they got tired of it, the detective who was thinking beside them spoke up: "A person can actually do it."
Sato Miwako's gaze then fell back on Manager Kajimura, and her mind flashed with the image of him dragging a 200-pound man with one hand while skillfully tying knots with the other hand... It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover, this man clearly looks like a corporate slave with average physical fitness.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia took them back to where the body was placed and pointed to the slipknot placed next to the body: "When the murderer put down the long rope, he actually tied an armor knot at the right position in advance. There is a small rope loop in the middle of the rope.
"After the victim was hoisted onto the tower, the rope loop just hung outside the railing. The murderer pulled the loop up through the railing and put a steel bar under it, so that he could use the steel bar to clamp the rope on the victim's side. Then, he just had to cut the hemp rope below the loop, pass the broken end through the loop and tie it to the rope on the other side, and the knot would be tied smoothly. After doing this and removing the steel bar, he could complete the knotting work by himself.
"Then the murderer only needs to return to the surface, gather up the broken ropes, and throw them all into the well to erase his hanging method and disguise everything as suicide."
Jiang Xia looked at Manager Kajimura, whose face was pale. "To complete this technique, you need to have a very good understanding of the topography of the temple and the distances between different places. Although Manager Kajimura is in charge of the hotel, as an important cadre of Oda Company, he is also responsible for the specific development of the temple. He can easily get the design drawings of the temple.
"The height of the five-story pagoda, the distance from it to the ancient well, the depth of the ancient well... If you want to know, you can always ask someone to measure it under the pretext of a construction project. The steel next to the ancient well must have been placed there by you specifically for this murder.
"Everything went according to your plan, but unfortunately there was a slight error in the final calculation, which caused the rope to be 50 centimeters shorter. It was these 50 centimeters that distinguished suicide from murder."
Manager Kajimura gritted his teeth and said, "But what you said can be done by others. The confidentiality of the project is not strict. Maybe the president's other enemies got the information and killed him. Anyway, it was not me who killed him. I was on a business trip last night and was not here at all!"
Jiangxia has had a good harvest recently, so he is extra patient in dealing with people: "Not long after you hurried to the temple, you said that the deceased had been in trouble recently, one of which was being sued by the temple. The temple decided to sue after the abbot's son rushed back here last night. If you were really on a business trip last night, you should not have heard this news. This is probably what you overheard from the monk when you were lying in ambush at the temple last night."
Abbot Danhai was stunned: "I actually talked about this matter in the courtyard last night."
Manager Kajimura: “…” The fickle old monk, who just said he was a good person, is now backstabbing me again!
He gritted his teeth and suppressed his murderous intent: "What kind of evidence is this! The legal dispute with the temple was told to me by the president when I was on the phone - physical evidence, physical evidence is needed to solve the case!"
Curacao: "..." Stupid, at this time, you should pretend to admit it, and then turn against the police immediately after the detective leaves, and ask for evidence. If you succeed in confusing the police, there is a chance that you will get some free time, and you can use this time to dispose of the physical evidence.
While she was formulating a strategy for Uzo in her mind, she secretly shook her head: I'm afraid these suspects themselves don't even know where they have revealed their flaws, how pitiful.
Sure enough, Uzo didn't seem to be bothered at all. After all, it was his own script, and he just had to recite it.
Jiang Xia: "Records of buying hemp ropes, marks left on the steel at the bottom of the well, shoes that stepped on the lawn, you can find a lot if you look for them. There is also something more straightforward - the thick stack of cash in your wallet."
Manager Kajimura instinctively covered his wallet, feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, he had to say, "Oh, you don't mean to say that there are fingerprints of the president on the money - this is the money that the president gave me before, so it's normal to have his fingerprints on it."
Then, in order to show that he had no guilt, he took out his wallet and casually threw it to the policeman beside him: "You can check it however you want."
Miwako Sato took it and opened it: "…" It was really a lot of money! She didn't even feel tired carrying such a lot of cash every day.
Just as she was distracted, Jiang Xia came over and took a look at her hand: "Open it and take a look."
"What are you opening? All this money?" Sato Miwako didn't understand, but she still took out the money and flipped through the book.
The next moment, a receipt sandwiched between the money was revealed.
