I teach kendo in Tokyo

A moment later, Kazuma drove his crepe RV and followed Shiratori's car to the mouth of the Edogawa River.

When the patrolman on guard saw Kazuma's car, he wanted to drive people away, but was stopped by Detective Ida who was at the scene.

Ida: This is the car of our new ace detective in the Metropolitan Police Department. Remember it.

Kazuma: I couldn't tell for a moment whether you were dismissing me or praising me.

Asano, who was in the passenger seat, said, It must be a compliment. Don't think everyone is so bad.

Detective Shiratori got out of the car first. While he was talking nonsense to Ma, he had already crossed the blockade and walked onto the Jian Bridge at the pier.

This pier at the mouth of the Edogawa River is usually used by public agencies such as the Marine Police. It seems that the bodies are retrieved and returned to the port directly.

Kazuma immediately got off the car and followed Shiratori and Asakura.

As soon as he got on the water police boat, Kazuma saw the body placed on the deck.

The forensics department from a nearby police station had arrived first and was examining the body.

Kazuma looked carefully at the two people and found that their feet were tied with stones and their hands were tied behind their backs, possibly tied.

Their faces had the obvious features of someone who had drowned and suffocated, and their expressions revealed despair and fear.

Detective Shiratori said: I just tied my hands and feet, put a stone on it and threw it into the water. It's very urgent.

Asakura said in surprise: Is it urgent?

Kazuma nodded: It's very urgent. The Ji Dao are a group of fools who pursue a sense of ritual. Under normal circumstances, they will usually seal people in iron barrels with cement first.

Hey, is this really happening? Asano exclaimed, I thought it was a random fabrication of the Yakuza film.

Many people involved in Yakuza films have a Yakuza background. For example, Takakura Ken is a good friend of the Kanto Yakuza leader.

Eh?

So before, Weekly Fang Chun reported on Takakura Ken's scandalous material, and then the editor-in-chief was invited to tea by the Yakuza. Kazuma hurriedly told the anecdote he heard from Hanabusa Takashi. As for the true and false talents, I don't care. Anyway, Hanabusa Takashi often spread rumors about Kazuma for military expenses. This is called courtesy.

At this time, Detective Shiratori asked the person in the forensic department: The cause of death was suffocation?

Yes, a lot of water entered his lungs, and he suffocated to death. There are signs of rope wear on his hands and feet. It seems that he struggled very hard.

Kazuma: Were they killing people on the street with pistols in the morning, and then being thrown into the water in the afternoon...Wait a minute, they will sink to the bottom of the water, so how were the bodies found?

The forensic expert immediately replied: It seems that the rope was too long, and then it hit the bottom of the marine police boat.

This job of silencing people must be too bad. Asano muttered.

Kazuma shook his head: I always feel something is wrong. After these two people were silenced, they didn't come forward to finish the job. They just hurriedly turned over her and ran away. Then these two people were killed so quickly, it was like It’s like rushing on a trip.”

Shiratori nodded: Yes, it's too urgent. And I think this may not be the work of Ji Dao.

Kazuma: Did it sink into Tokyo Bay because there was no cement?

Yes. We just happened to catch someone. We should check the identities of these two people. If we use the channels of the Four Lessons, we can quickly prove whether they are local Yakuza.

But the Fuqing Gang and the True Boxing Club can't investigate? He Ma asked.

Yes. Detective Shiratori looked helpless, The Shinkenkai at least followed the organizational form of the Japanese Yakuza. The Fuqing Gang has a longer history than the Japanese Yakuza. Their tradition is to follow the party. handed down from time to time.”

Asano pulled Kazuma's sleeve and asked, What is the party?

You can think of it as a grassroots social organization that was spontaneously organized by the people in China in the late Qing Dynasty. In the last hundred years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, people at the grassroots level had completely lost their support, so residents organized themselves to protect local interests, Hema explained.

Asano praised: As expected of a student from Tokyo University, he knows so much. So, we don't know the organizational structure of the Fuqing Gang at all?

Detective Shiratori nodded.

Asano immediately complained: This is your team's job, right? Isn't it a serious dereliction of duty if you don't even know the organizational structure?

Kazuma knocked Asano on the head: How can I talk to senior?

Detective Bai Niao waved his hand: No, he is right. In recent years, we have been concerned about the Fuqing Gang. There are still many people who think that it is not a sure thing to just sit back and watch them and Zhen Fist lose. A losing business.

Asakura said: I was sent to investigate the Fuqing Gang. I also work as a foreign worker. Such a vicious organization would use an AK to fight fire on the streets. I only have a revolver. I won't provoke them.

Asano looked disdainful: You are a professional team, so I understand that you care about your life. Non-professional teams like ours will only be a police department at the end of the promotion, and you will lose your life. If you work hard, you may be able to make great achievements.

Kazuma noticed that Shiratori's expression was a little stiff when he heard There is only one police department in the end.

Detective Shiratori is still in the police department.

Kazuma stabbed Asano hard in the waist.

Asano quickly covered his mouth.

Detective Shiratori said: Don't worry, what you said is the truth. Where is the Marine Police officer who found the body?

Here. Detective Jutian said hurriedly, But we have asked him, and there is nothing noteworthy.

Shiratori nodded: There is nothing worth noting. Then let's visit the store near the place where the body was dumped. Maybe there is a store that remembers the person who dumped the body.

Asakura sighed: It's a visit again. Why do I feel like the detective is visiting most of the time?

Asano laughed and said, We solved the case yesterday. The scene where the police officer confronted the suspect was very similar to a scene in a criminal investigation drama. The police officer even stole Detective Ida's lines and gave him the Miranda warning. !”

Asakura sighed: It's great. I have been working for more than a month, visiting and visiting all day long. I originally thought that the fourth class would often have exciting cases, but in the end, I was almost bored to death this month. The key point is that we visited so many places, but the results were all in vain.”

Kazuma smiled and said: Ninety-nine percent of the work of a criminal police officer is wasted effort. Our job is to ensure that this wasted effort is really wasted effort.

Asano: Ah, the police department added that you said something cool again. I want to write it down and use it to educate the younger generations when I become a senior detective.

Detective Shiratori: Okay, let's go and visit. At least the visit is more interesting than dealing with paperwork.

After the words fell, several people unanimously agreed: That's true.

**

Next, there are two groups of people, Ma and Bainiao, one group is responsible for one side of the river bank.

Because this case was not one he was responsible for, Detective Jutian handed over the case and got off work.

The road where the body was dumped was quite busy, and after nightfall there were many office workers who came to drink.

He Ma asked several stores in succession, but couldn't find any clues.

Asano complained loudly: If you think about it carefully, this is not a remote river section. It is unbelievable to throw two living people into the water and drown them in broad daylight. What is even more unbelievable is that no one saw any suspicious persons. Police added, don’t you think this is abnormal?

Could the murderer be a kappa? He pulled two people into the water and then moved them in the water. This makes sense!

Kazuma: Kappa no longer exists.

Asano suddenly frowned: Wait a minute, the police department said there is something wrong with what you said. You used the perfect tense, and the subtext existed before!

Kazuma: What I mean is that in the past, people knew very little about aquatic species, so the legend of kappa was born. But modern science has thoroughly studied the waters near Edo, so there is no legend of kappa. Soil.”

After talking to Ma, I thought to myself, Damn, why am I obligated to help that fox eliminate the weirdness?

Asano frowned: Then what do you think is going on? The autopsy also said that both of them struggled fiercely, so it must have caused a lot of noise, right? This is unreasonable in such a prosperous river section.

It's possible that the two of them drowned in other places, and then were moved here and thrown away. Kazuma gestured with his hands, If they were tied to the bottom of the boat, move here and then loosen the rope from the boat. The ones on the shore People definitely won’t notice.”

It makes sense to tie it to the bottom of the boat, but shouldn't there be a trace of being tied on the body?

Kazuma: You can also put the stone on the boat, and then drag the two of them along the waterway. When they get here, just push the stone tied with the rope into the water.

The scars on the feet were not only caused by falling into the water and struggling, but also caused by strains during the dragging process.

Kazuma nodded: That makes sense. The autopsy report should be out when we get back.

At this time, someone suddenly called Kazuma: Kiryu!

Kazuma looked closely and saw that it was Daimon Goro, the teacher of the high school kendo club, sitting next to a pushcart vendor on the riverside.

This kind of pushcart vendor can identify whether the door is opened by looking at whether the curtain is hung up.

There are no curtains hanging on the stalls, so it's obviously not open for business yet, but Daimon Goro is already sitting in his seat.

Looking carefully at the meatballs and side dishes placed in front of him, it seemed that Daimon Goro knew the owner well, so he entertained him without opening the door.

Kazuma: Hello, teacher.

Asano was shocked: Is this a professor from Tokyo University? Why does he look like an uncle who fishes?

Daimon Goro laughed loudly: I am often thought of as a fisherman! But, I am indeed a teacher, even though I am a physical education teacher.

Tokyo University also has a physical education department? No, he's a high school teacher, right? Asano patted Kazuma, Please make it clear, and the police department will make up for it.

Daimon Goro raised his eyebrows: Police Department supplement...you actually entered the Metropolitan Police Department?

Don't you know I was in the newspaper a few days ago? Kazuma asked with a smile, I solved a 300 million yen robbery.

Really? I usually don't read things with words at all, you know. Ever since you were admitted to Tokyo University, our school has somehow become a school that pursues the admission rate. Physical education teachers like me are forced to I moved out of the office, and no one usually talks to me. Boss, this is the student I told you about, let me have a cup.

The boss immediately took out a new beer glass and placed it next to Daimon Goro.

Kazuma: Sorry, on duty.

Still on duty at this hour? The police are working really hard. So what is the case? Daimon Goro asked drunkenly, obviously having drunk a lot.

I'm sorry, I can't reveal the details of the case to irrelevant people. Kazuma said apologetically, When I have the opportunity in the future, I'll treat you to a drink, teacher.

Daimon Goro sighed: Well, that's all we can do. Come on, Tokyo Guardian.

As he spoke, Daimon Goro gave Kazuma a crooked salute.

Kazuma returned the favor and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of his mission. He took out the photos of the three deceased people and asked the stall owner: Have you seen these three people?

The stall owner was an old man. Although he was old, he looked energetic and his eyes were bright. He put on his reading glasses and carefully looked at the three photos handed over by He Ma. After a while, he shook his head: I'm pretty sure I've never seen these three people. .”

Kazuma: I haven't seen it before. So what time did you come to set up the stall today?

I arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then I was making preparations to open the store.

Then you didn't see any suspicious boats on the river? Did you see any boats throwing things into the river?

The stall owner shook his head: No.

Kazuma saluted the stall owner: That's it, thank you. I'll leave first then, teacher, drink well.

Daimon Goro waved his hand.

Kazuma turned and left.

Asano quickly followed his footsteps.

After the two left, the stall owner suddenly said: You are indeed a talented person.

He is determined to be the police chief. When he said this, it was said that he had just dismantled the entire Yakuza team by himself.

The stall owner was speechless: Are you going to break up a group alone? People who can do this are the best among men.

That's right. Daimon Goro said proudly, He just said that he solved the 300 million yen robbery. I remember it was a super unsolved case, right? It's really amazing.

The stall owner shook his head: More than that. I read the newspaper. He also solved a murder case yesterday. I'm afraid the criminals in Tokyo are in trouble.

That's right. Daimon Goro smiled, drank the beer in the glass in one gulp, and then filled himself up again.

**

After the visit, Kazuma, Asano and Shiratori met on the bridge across the river.

No one has seen it at all. I think the crime may have been committed on a boat. The tied stones were put on the boat and dragged here.

Detective Shiratori nodded: It is possible that he drowned in another place and then dragged the body and dumped it. As long as the wounds on the body show the damage caused by dragging, it can prove this point. If that is the case, then Our actions tonight are purely useless.

Tomorrow we will investigate the boat that sailed on the river today. But I estimate that this boat should be a legal vessel with a normal sailing plan on file.

Asakura sighed: Then isn't this road completely impassable?

Kazuma: Unless we happen to find a witness who saw them throwing things into the water. But there is no chance of such a coincidence.

Let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first, take a look at the compiled report, and then go have dinner with Jinshan. Shiratiao said, looking at his watch, It's already this time, Jinshan has already had three drinks at your house. Patrolling.

Kazuma smiled bitterly: My sister will entertain him.

**

After returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, Forensic Officer Kimura was already waiting for Kazuma and others.

“I did the wound inspection you asked for over the radio, and it’s true that the wounds on both men’s legs were peeling, which was probably pulled off while being dragged in the water.

In addition, the fingerprint comparison results of these two people came out. It is very interesting that they were once caught for being illegal and working illegally, and then ran away from the shelter before being deported to their native place in Vietnam.

Kazuma frowned: Vietnamese? Fortunately, they were drowned. They will be abandoned in the bushes and may not be found for several years.

Everyone looked at Kazuma, and Asakura asked hesitantly: Is this a burden? Should we laugh?

Kazuma: Yes.

Asakura laughed awkwardly but politely.

Kazuma continued: By the way, there is a theory for Vietnamese people drowning because Charlie can't swim.

Asano: What the hell?

Charlie is the name given to the Viet Cong by the US military. During the war, the US military used Charlie as a combat name because he could not swim. Then the battle failed and there were heavy casualties.

In fact, the US military will use it twice more in the future, once in Somalia, which resulted in the famous Black Hawk Fall, and once in Afghanistan, which also failed and killed several SEALs.

Asano looked at Kazuma: No one except college students would find this kind of burden to explain funny.

Asakura: I'm also a college student, and I don't find it funny either.

You are a student from an ordinary university, but those from Tokyo University might find it funny.

At this time, Shiratiao, who had been frowning and thinking, finally said: What's going on? How can it be Vietnamese? I can't understand this development at all.

After saying that, he raised his head, looked at Kazuma, reached out and patted Kazuma on the shoulder: It's up to you, ace detective.

Kazuma: No, don't put pressure on me. Even if I can solve the puzzle, you may not be able to solve it after you put pressure on me.
