Chapter 529 The real cause of death(2/3)

He finally believed Lin Xinyi's judgment.

But he still asked very puzzledly:

"Since the deceased was shot to death with a shotgun, the shell casings and pellets left behind by the murderer after shooting should be found at the scene, right?"

"How come there is nothing?"

"this..."

Lin Xinyi thought for a while:

"The bullet casings should have been taken away by the murderer himself."

The murderer was so cautious that he even stripped off the deceased's clothes and took them away for disposal. Of course, he would not forget such important evidence as bullet casings.

The shell of a shotgun is quite large; one shot can be as thick as a thumb.

Even if the shell is thrown to the ground, the gunman can easily find it from the ground, pick it up and take it away from the scene.

Of course... the bullet casings are easy to take away, but not the projectiles.

A shotgun bullet can contain more than a dozen small lead pellets.

So many small lead pellets were sprayed out, then penetrated the human body and flew backwards for an unknown distance. Finally, they fell to the ground like rain and were embedded in the soil——

It will definitely be difficult to find the murderer one by one and take him away from the crime scene.

Theoretically, at least a few lead pellets should be found at the crime scene.

But the problem is...

"It's difficult to find the murderer, and it's also difficult for the police to find him."

"The police in Gunma County are responsible for the on-site investigation. They..."

Lin Xinyi hesitated to speak. In the end, for the sake of the relationship between the city and the county and the harmony of the police circles, he still saved some face for his colleagues in these places:

"They also tried their best."

"It's understandable if you don't find it."

These gangsters even forgot to write down such basic data as the site temperature in the survey report.

How can we expect them to have the patience to carefully survey the site and find those tiny lead pellets that may be scattered in the soil?

Therefore, if the survey report states that no projectiles were found at the scene, it does not mean that there are really no projectiles at the scene.

Because this report is full of loopholes and cannot prove anything.

"That's right..." Officer Fangtani figured out the connection:

The site survey report may be wrong.

However, the bone damage patterns that Lin Xinyi found on the corpses were genuine and could not be faked.

It appears that the deceased was indeed killed by a shotgun blast at close range.

Now the age, gender, race, cause of death, and approximate time of death of the deceased have been almost determined.

"The next question worth discussing is..."

Lin Xinyi looked back and forth at the case information that he regarded as the "Collection of Wrong Questions", but he was unable to find any more mistakes in the information.

So he finally focused on the biggest doubt in the case:

"That money transport box from Mitsubishi Bank."

"The murderer took away the bullet casings and all the deceased's belongings. He didn't even leave her clothes."

"But he just left such an empty cash box."

"why is that?"

"Is this..." Officer Fang Gu smiled: "It's not difficult to understand."

"I had some speculation in this regard, and Mr. Lin has proven that the deceased in this case was not 'Hirota Masami', so the answer to this question becomes even more obvious:"

"The murderer took away all the deceased's belongings in order to prevent the police from knowing who the deceased was."

"And he also left the money transport box belonging to Siling Bank in order to make the police think that the deceased was someone else."

The airlift cash box left at the scene directly pointed the police's investigation to the billion-yen robbery.

If Lin Xinyi hadn't determined that the deceased was not Hirota Masami through differences in skull morphology between races.

The police will definitely continue to regard this unidentified deceased as the long-missing female robber.

"From this point of view, the murderer and the deceased in this case should have nothing to do with Masami Hirota and the robbery."

"But he knew where the cash box came from, and he knew that leaving the box at the scene could mislead the police in the direction of their investigation, making us think that the unknown deceased was Masami Hirota."

This can distract the police's energy and make them use their efforts in the wrong direction.

As time goes by, according to the perfunctory work style of the Japanese police in this world...

Maybe after more research, they will identify the deceased as Hirota Masami without being sure at all.

Then he casually concluded that "the robbers had a fight", ignored it as an unsolved case, and went home from get off work early for dinner.

It's really possible -

After all, it's not like they haven't done this kind of thing before.

But this time things are different...

The murderer must have never imagined that Masami Hirota is not an ordinary bank robber.

And the little trick he used to divert the attention of the police actually allowed him to bypass the Gunma County Police of the Black Iron Rank and directly match him with the strongest king like the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"Analyze this way..."

"The murderer is unlikely to be someone from the organization."

It's too late for the people in the organization to pursue a low profile, and they won't deliberately draw the police's attention to Miyano Akemi.

"But if the murderer is not from the organization..."

"Then how could this cash box appear on the murderer's body?"

"What happened to the money stolen by Masami Hirota and Masami Hirota after she disappeared?"

Officer Jiangu frowned slightly:

"Could it be that all the previous speculations were wrong?"

"The murderer left the empty cash box at the scene. In fact, there was another reason?"

"No, your guess makes sense."

Lin Xinyi made a sound of agreement.

Because he knew that the money never ended up in the hands of the organization.

This murderer probably has nothing to do with the organization.

He couldn't tell the information directly, so he lightly conveyed the argument:

"Although it cannot be proven yet, it seems so far:"

"The murderer is most likely a person who has nothing to do with the organization or Masami Hirota."

"For some reason, he obtained the stolen money Masami Hirota had robbed from Mitsubishi Bank, and he had a conflict with the deceased because of the money, which ultimately led to the tragedy we are seeing today."

There is a lot of speculation in this conclusion.

As Lin Xinyi said, this conclusion cannot be proved.

Therefore, even if it is guessed that the murderer has nothing to do with the organization, and the case has nothing to do with the organization, Officer Furitani, as a representative of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, must do his best to pursue it.

And even if the murderer is finally found to have nothing to do with the organization...

It can be found out how he got the cash box that should have belonged to Miyano Akemi, and it can also help the Japanese police to a certain extent to find out Miyano Akemi's movements after her disappearance.

"Mr. Lin..."

Officer Jianggu noticed that Lin Xinyi had put down the information in his hand:

"Have you read almost this information?"

"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded, indicating that he had finished reading this information.

This information can no longer bring any more clues to their investigation.

And just knowing the gender, age, race, cause of death, and approximate time of death of the deceased cannot help them find the identity of this unknown woman in the vast sea of ​​people.

The next thing they can do is to go to the crime scene in Gunma County in person.

"I hope I can find some clues at the scene that the Gunma Prefectural Police did not notice."

"Otherwise... we can only compare the recent missing persons around Tokyo one by one and try our luck."

Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly and said to Officer Jiangu:

"Without further ado, let's set off now."
To be continued...
