While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 902
After Ishikawa Hayato asked, Song Helue recalled: "At the beginning, the police announced the number sequence of the robbed cash, but these banknotes have not been seen in the market for a long time, so the suspect should have another channel to deal with this batch of cash. .”

"That's right." Hayato Ishikawa nodded and said, "There were no magnetic stripe cards back then, and paper certificates were required to save money. After the incident, no bank has accepted large deposits."

"And with the change of banknote versions, the longer the stolen brand-new old banknotes are hidden, the more abrupt and conspicuous they will become when they are suddenly used."

"So compared to those evidences, these banknotes are the most direct evidence pointing directly at the suspect."

Song He Wenyan, who was listening carefully, nodded slightly, then shook his head and smiled again: "But up to now, there is no trace of the banknote, is there?"

"So I hope to find someone who will help them transfer and handle the banknotes." Hayato Ishikawa said with burning eyes: "Only by finding this person can we track down the robbers in this case."

"Huh?" Song He looked at Hayato Ishikawa curiously, and said with a tusk, "You managed to jump out of a dead end. It seems that you really want to solve this unsolved case."

"Mr. Sun, as expected, you can also feel the difficulty of the suspect." Hayato Shishikawa said with a little regret: "50 years ago, Sang country just entered the modern society, and family cars and motorcycles began to be popular."

"In this case, the suspect realized the convenience of the automobile society one step ahead of the police, and changed to another vehicle within 5 minutes after driving the armored van. And within 24 hours after the police received the alarm message, They are chasing cash vans all over the city."

"After finding the empty cash transport vehicle on the second day after the incident, the police conducted a visit and investigation on the location of the abandoned vehicle, and learned that a car had been parked at the location of the abandoned vehicle."

"However, when the police found the car in a nearby parking lot and found the three empty cash boxes from the car, four months had passed since the incident."

Song He shrugged and said: "This kind of crime can only be said to be crude now, but in the background of the era back then, it was indeed far ahead."

"That's right." Ishikawa Hayato sighed: "And all the relevant evidence he left behind were either stolen, or items that could not be traced to the purchaser and source. At that time, it seemed that there was no traceability value at all."

"In addition, it took him almost a year to plan, and he concealed himself after committing the crime. It is normal that it is difficult to trace."

Song He, who was thinking about the direction of solving the case, waved his hand and said, "Don't be emotional, let's talk about your investigation findings."

Ishikawa Hayato smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words, and said instead: "I have made some guesses about the whereabouts of the huge sum of money, which can basically be divided into three situations, namely hiding, using and exchanging."

"There is a high probability that no one else will need to intervene in hiding, but in this way, the money will not only be the same as when it was not stolen, but it will also make it more and more difficult to spend the stolen money, so the suspect will not choose."

"Using words is just the opposite of hiding, and will expose the suspect because of his abnormal consumption behavior. Therefore, with the suspect's degree of caution, he will not do the same."

"In this way, it can only be exchanged for other countries' banknotes or property of the same amount, and then use it after the storm has passed. If you choose this way, you must have a safe exchange channel."

Seeing that Hayato Ishikawa was in high spirits as he talked, Song He couldn't help laughing and said, "That's why you tracked down the people who were engaged in private money exchange back then?"

"That's right." Ishikawa Hayato said proudly: "According to my investigation, the number of suspicious private exchange personnel has been reduced to 18!"

Hearing this, Song He looked at the two large boxes of documents that were still quietly piling on the coffee table, secretly admiring Ishikawa Hayato's perseverance in his heart.

"But it's a pity that seven of these eighteen people have passed away in the past 50 years." Ishikawa Hayato said with regret and a little eagerness:
"So we must hurry up and confirm whether the person who helped the suspect is among the remaining 11 people!"

Song He, who was somewhat affected by Hayato Ishikawa's emotions, laughed, and said with burning eyes: "That's fine, I'll accompany you to visit these elders, it's a relaxing activity before boarding the ship."

After all, Song He and Ishikawa Hayato decided to start with an old man who was hospitalized due to terminal cancer. After all, among the remaining eleven people, this old man is very likely to be taken away by death before others.

Both of them belonged to the urgent investigation, so they soon came to the hospital where the target was staying, and saw the old man who was eating.

"Old sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a reporter and I'm reporting on some things in the Showa era..."

After the simple greetings, Ishikawa Hayato began to chat with the old man in a humble and polite manner, and tried to make inferences.

Song He, who was accompanying him, looked at Ishikawa Hayato's extremely proficient way of speaking, and immediately knew that he had done similar things.

Half an hour later, after confirming that the old man was not related to the robbery, the two politely left and went straight to the next target.

In this way, Song He followed Hayato Ishikawa back and forth in Kyoto, and finally came to the door of the last target in Kyoto when night fell.

"As for the remaining three people who are not in Kyoto, it seems that we have to visit one by one tomorrow." Hayato Ishikawa cleared his dry throat and rang the doorbell.

"Excuse me, who is it?" An old male voice rang from the electronic doorbell box hanging at the door.

Ishikawa Hayato respectfully bowed to the doorbell, chanting familiar lines: "Mr., I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm a reporter..."

"Please wait a moment." The old male voice sounded again, and then there were slow and heavy footsteps inside the door.

click.

Squeak.

A moment later, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair and a fat figure appeared inside the door, curiously and vigilantly looking at Song He and Ishikawa Hayato, who were outside the door, who were dressed in suits and had an extraordinary demeanor.

"Hello, sorry to bother you, this is our ID." Hayato Ishikawa handed over the fake ID he had prepared earlier, and let the old man check it.

"Please come in." The old man carefully inspected the document and handed it back to Ishikawa Hayato, then took a step back to give some space.

Song and He thanked each other repeatedly, entered the door respectfully, took off their shoes, and followed the old man to the living room of the house.

After a few pleasantries, Ishikawa Hayato looked at the furnishings in the house, and asked with a humble expression: "Mr., do you live alone?"

"Yes." The old man said while Song He and the two were preparing tea: "The child has his own family. Although I will live there, I don't want to disturb their lives. After all, it is more comfortable to be alone."

"You are right." Ishikawa Hayato agreed, bowed his head and stretched out his hands to take the tea handed by the old man, and began to say: "We want to make some reports on some anecdotes and strange events in the Showa era. Do you think that back then... "

Not long after, under the guidance of Ishikawa Hayato's step-by-step words and Song He's hints of ulterior motives, the topic unexpectedly turned to the [-] million yuan robbery.

But this time, Song He and Ishikawa Hayato keenly discovered that when talking about this case, the old man's expression changed never before!

"The robbery case of [-] million yuan..." The old man raised his head slightly, his eyes looked at his obliquely upward with a somewhat nostalgic look: "It was really scary to be famous at that time."

Ishikawa Hayato looked at Song He quickly, and with the tacit understanding honed by the two of them several times of cooperation, asked curiously: "Is there anything special about this case?"

The curious words quickly brought the old man back to his senses. He grinned and said with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Looking at your age, you are basically hearing about this case, right?"

"Yes." Hayato Ishikawa pretended to be full of interest, lowered his posture slightly and asked: "Old man, you must know something that others don't know, right? Can you tell us about it?"

The old man looked at Ishikawa Hayato, who was always respectful, and Song He, who had hidden admiration in his eyes, and couldn't help sitting up straight and proudly said: "It seems that many people have forgotten this case, so let me explain it to you." Bar!"

After the old man finished speaking, he began to talk about the [-] million yuan robbery case eloquently, while Song He and Ishikawa Hayato, who had already studied the case in detail, pretended to be reverent, looking for opportunities to obtain information.

After more than an hour, the old man stopped talking in high spirits but still had some unfinished business, picked up his teacup and drank the tea, and then said with pride and excitement: "In the end, the [-] million cash just disappeared out of thin air, and the police From the beginning to the end, I didn't touch a single hair of the suspect!"

Hayato Ishikawa, who was waiting for this moment, made a gesture of excitement, exchanged glances with Song He who was equally excited, and moved closer to the old man, and said eagerly: "Mr., I didn't expect the story behind this case to be so exciting!"

"But the whereabouts of the [-] million yuan, is it true that no one knows?"

The old man gained a great sense of accomplishment from the expressions of Song and He, and grinned with relief, "According to my guess, the robbers exchanged the money for gold and hid it as soon as they got it."

"As for why no clues can be found, it is probably because the source of the gold is not clean!"

Seeing that the old man uttered his conjecture with great certainty, Song He and Hayato Ishikawa continued their efforts and joined forces to keep clichés from the old man's mouth, and finally pieced together most of the truth of the case back then.

In the end, seeing that the old man was cautious and stopped talking, the two stopped talking in good time and stopped probing, but Song He rolled his eyes and said in a strange way:

"Actually, this case has passed the litigation period. If the robbers could stand up and confess everything, not only would they not be held accountable, but they would definitely become idols worshiped by all young people today!"

Before the words fell to the ground, the smug old man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled around twice quickly, he swallowed his saliva and looked at Song He, and asked in a questioning tone: "Really? He will become ……Idol?"

Ishikawa Hayato, who instantly understood Song He's plan, nodded with great determination and smiled: "It will definitely! At that time, they will become the idols of countless people, and even become beliefs!"

Suddenly, the old man's eyes seemed to have a brilliance blooming!
