Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 90: Too many doubts are no longer doubts

In Makino's opinion, there are many suspicious points in this case.

The first is the age of the prisoner.

According to criminal psychology testing, indiscriminate killers generally have the so-called "killer personality". They are typical paranoids and most of them are loners.

According to statistics, most killers are between 25 and 30 years old.

At this age, once they feel hopeless in life, they will try to do something eye-catching to prove their worth to others.

However, after scientific examination, the male corpse labeled as the murderer by the Sumida Police Station was found to be around 45 years old.

People of this age will not suddenly awaken their killer personality and resort to "random killings" to vent their inner emotions and pressure, unless they encounter major changes in their lives.

Moreover, even if he really wanted to satisfy himself in this way, he would not be so "silent".

This kind of person, in addition to seeking revenge on the source of the major changes in his life, will also publicize his identity, wishing that everyone would know who he is and why he does this.

Such people will even use actual actions to publicly challenge the police and the "authority" in their eyes in order to prove their abilities and value of survival.

Such a criminal would not quietly explode himself after killing someone.

Another obvious suspicious point is related to the bomb in the supermarket.

The police conducted a detailed investigation into the location of the bomb and the type of gunpowder.

The bomb exploded next to the food shelf in the center of the supermarket.

Although the supermarket is not very large, the amount of explosives required to reduce the entire supermarket to ruins with just the bomb in this one location is not small.

In short, it is impossible for a criminal to carry a bomb of that size with him like he carries a mobile phone.

He would need at least a very conspicuous large backpack to carry it.

But the residents and shop owners in the surrounding area said that they had not seen anyone carrying large backpacks nearby.

In addition, the forensic doctor found a bullet in the body of the man who was labeled as the murderer.

The model of the bullet was the same as that found in the other two victims, and they were all bullets from the pistol left at the scene.

Logically, this evidence greatly reduced the possibility that the man was the murderer.

but
Thinking of this, Makino lowered his head and carefully took a look at the report on the bullet incident from the Sumida Ward police officer.

——"During the crime, the criminal accidentally shot himself. Knowing that he could not escape, the criminal finally decided to detonate the bomb to escape responsibility..."

Seeing this, Makino sighed helplessly.

Shooting yourself by mistake?
Escape responsibility by detonating a bomb to commit suicide?

What is the relationship between the person who wrote this report and Kogoro Mori?
But Makino could also guess what happened back then.

Although the police understood that there were doubts about the bomb and bullet, they did not find any other concrete evidence, and the body of the unidentified man at the scene was indeed somewhat suspicious.

Coupled with the increasing pressure from public opinion, the local police finally treated the unknown middle-aged man as a criminal and got away with it.

Fortunately, after this case ended, no similar cases have occurred again in Sumida Ward.

After carefully reading the investigation materials of this case, Makino had a bold guess in his mind.

This was probably not a random killing, but a killing with a clear purpose and direction. The real target of the criminal was probably the middle-aged man who was taken as a criminal.

The other customers and employees in the store were just dealt with by the real murderer.

He shot and killed without hesitation, and then detonated the bomb to destroy all the evidence.

If, as he thought, there really is a murderer in this case, then this person is most likely a "professional killer."

However, there is one thing he has not figured out yet. If this person is really a professional killer, then why is there a shotgun at the scene in addition to a pistol?

Could it be that this killer has a special fondness for shotguns?
——“Buzz buzz buzz”

At this moment, the vibration of the mobile phone temporarily interrupted Makino's thoughts.

Makino picked up his phone and found a text message from Ayako.

The content of the text message was very brief: her father, Shiro Suzuki, wanted to invite him to a dinner party at home tonight.

It was to celebrate his promotion to Superintendent of Police and also to let him take a look at the real dark star.

……

In the evening, at Suzuki's residence.

Shiro Suzuki brought Makino and others to the collection room in his home and opened a rather complicated safe in front of everyone.

"Okay, it's open~" Shiro Suzuki stroked his beard with a smile, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.

The main component of pearls is calcium carbonate, which is very susceptible to acid corrosion.

If the oils on your hands come into contact with the surface of the pearls, they will acidify, which will greatly accelerate the rate at which they lose their luster.

Suzuki Shiro picked up the pearl with his gloved hands and showed it to Makino and the others at close range: "Look, this is the real Dark Star!"

"Ah, is this the authentic one? Why do I feel that the luster of this pearl is not as good as the one I saw in the museum before?" After staring at the pearl for a while, Yuanzi spoke directly.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, this pearl has been in our Suzuki family for nearly 60 years. No matter how we protect it, the luster of this pearl will gradually fade over time~" Suzuki Shiro nodded with a smile.

Sonoko blinked, spread her hands and looked at Makino and Ayako beside her: "Sister, Ryuichi, why did Kaito Kid steal this pearl? I think the value of this pearl is not much left."

Hearing this, Makino and Ayako smiled at each other.

Shiro Suzuki on the side laughed and said, "Hahaha, Sonoko is right! But compared to its actual value, the commemorative value of this pearl is higher~"

After chatting for a while about the history of the pearl, everyone walked towards the restaurant to prepare for dinner.

After dinner, Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Shiro called Makino into the study room alone.

Suzuki Tomoko stared at Makino for a while, then smiled and shook her head: "Well, you are excellent, but you are unwilling to formally enter the business and economic circles... But you are probably the only one who can be promoted to Superintendent at this age~"

Makino chuckled and said, "I was able to be promoted so smoothly this time. I guess it must have something to do with my uncle and aunt, right?"

Suzuki Tomoko shook her head seriously. "After we got the news that you might be promoted, we did contact a few acquaintances and friends. The Suzuki family has a pretty good relationship with the top police officers. But according to those people, even if we don't help you, you can still be promoted smoothly this time.

Both the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency think highly of you. They seem to agree that you should be promoted to Superintendent, and our help is just the icing on the cake."

Shiro Suzuki on the side also smiled and said: "Although we really want you to take over the consortium, we don't want to hinder you from going your own way. Don't forget, you are also our child. No matter what choice you make, we will fully support you!"
