Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 22: Inspector Megure's Trust

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind made Makino's eyes light up.

The first triggering of the system task was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for him!

Although a Class B event was triggered this time, what this world has the most is various cases!
The days ahead are really becoming more and more promising.

At this time, Idahang patted Makino's shoulder, then turned his head to look at his girlfriend beside him: "Natalie, sit here and don't move, let's go and take a look at the situation!"

After saying this, he and Makino looked at each other, and they both walked quickly towards the direction where the scream came from.

At the door of the restaurant's tool room, a waitress collapsed on the ground with a look of fear in her eyes.

Seeing Makino and the other man coming, she pointed into the tool room with a trembling finger.

The two looked in the direction the waitress pointed and saw a man with blood all over his upper body, clutching his neck tightly with both hands, lying on his back under the ventilation fan in the tool room with a ferocious look on his face.

Makino and the other man checked the man's condition and found that he had died.

Seeing this, the two immediately called the police and cordoned off the scene, stopping the staff and other guests who came to check the situation.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived with his team.

Seeing that Makino was also at the scene, Inspector Megure immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Makino! Were you two the ones who called the police?"

"Yes, this is my squad leader, Ida Kou."

Hearing this, Inspector Megure turned to look at Date Kou who was beside Makino, and the two nodded and greeted each other.

After thanking the two for protecting the scene, Inspector Megure began to order his subordinates to conduct an on-site investigation and personally asked Makino and the other about what happened.

After Makino and the other person explained the situation to Inspector Megure, Inspector Megure immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate and question the waitress who first discovered the deceased.

More than ten minutes later, a police officer came over and reported the results of the investigation to Inspector Megure.

"The victim is Makoto Inamori, 34 years old. He was an employee of a small record rental company."

"The cause of death was asphyxiation caused by a sharp weapon cutting the trachea in the neck. Preliminary judgment shows that the time of death was no more than two hours."

"In addition to the wound on his neck, the victim also had injuries on the back of his head similar to those caused by a blunt object, probably because he hit the floor after falling to the ground."

After listening to the report, Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Use the time to confirm the victim's interpersonal relationships."

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately closed the notebook, turned around and left.

After his subordinates left, Inspector Megure looked at Makino expectantly: "What do you think, brother Makino?"

Ida Hang on the side: "?"

What do you mean? Aren't you a police inspector?

You asked Makino what he thought...what does that mean?
Under Date Kou's puzzled gaze, Makino slowly spoke: "This is a premeditated revenge killing. The murderer is very likely to be a woman, and must be someone familiar to the victim. Let's start with the staff of this store."

As Date Kou looked shocked, Inspector Megure walked quickly to his subordinates and said in a serious tone, "Investigate the employees of this store carefully, and focus on asking them whether they knew the victim and what their relationship was with the victim."

Ida Hang: “???” Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
Not long after, Inspector Megure came to Makino with two ladies.

Inspector Megure looked at one of the women with a neat ponytail and said, "This is Yoshimi Nakatani. She is the branch manager of this store. Three years ago, she and the victim worked here together. They were colleagues."

Then he looked at another woman wearing a chef's hat and continued to introduce: "This is Imai Keiko, the head chef of this restaurant. It seems that she just broke up with the victim half a year ago."

After saying this, Inspector Megure looked at Makino nervously, as if he was expecting something.

Before Makino could speak, the chef Imai Keiko said dissatisfiedly: "Wait! Are you treating me as a suspect? We broke up a long time ago!"

The female store manager at the side also said nervously: "Although I know Inamori, we haven't seen each other for many years. I have no reason to kill him at all!!"

As soon as the female store manager finished speaking, the chef Imai Keiko added insult to injury and said, "Who said you had no reason to kill?! Inamori told me before that you stole the store manager position from him through improper means! He resigned from this store after he became frustrated!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If that's the case, then you're even more suspicious! You two have already broken up, but he's been coming to the store to look for you so often!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Inspector Megure quickly said, "Don't get excited, this is just a basic investigation. No one is saying that you are the murderer."

Although Inspector Megure said this, in his heart, the suspicion of these two people was undoubtedly growing.

After comforting the two, Inspector Megure coughed lightly and said, "Brother Makino, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Makino stared at the two suspects for a few seconds, then turned to look at Inspector Megure and asked, "Officer Megure, have you found the murder weapon?"

Inspector Megure shook his head: "Not yet. The murder weapon was not at the crime scene. Neither the murder weapon was found on these two ladies nor the first person who discovered it."

After getting the answer, Makino looked at the female store manager next to him and asked softly, "Isn't this tool room usually locked?"

"Well, it's usually open during business hours. The first thing I do when I come to the store every day is to unlock the locks of each room." The female manager nodded.

"Really? Then I might know." Makino nodded slightly and smiled at Inspector Megure.

"What? Brother Makino, you already know who the criminal is?!"

Makino nodded and said, "First of all, the fact that the deceased was called to this tool room means that the murderer must be someone he knows. But we know this, and the murderer naturally knows it too."

"But she still chose to do it here...precisely because only by doing it here can she minimize her suspicion."

"There may be two reasons. First, she knew that if the deceased was killed somewhere else, the police would not only investigate the deceased's personal contacts, but would also inevitably conduct a thorough search of the deceased's home."

"Once the police do that, the murderer immediately becomes the number one suspect."

"The more important reason is that only here can the murderer carry out her murder method and then easily dispose of the murder weapon."

At this point, Makino turned to look at the head chef and said with a smile, "Do you think what I said makes sense? Ms. Imai Keiko~"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the female chef in surprise.

Under everyone's suspicious gaze, the female chef's pupils trembled slightly and she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! What evidence do you have to prove that I killed him?!"

"You are so confident in asking me to produce evidence. Don't you think that your murder method and murder weapon are flawless?" Makino continued to smile and asked back.
