I'm writing a diary in Zongman

"Also, you should remember what I told you last time, right?"

"Ah."

When talking about the last topic, Takagi Shigeru felt a little embarrassed, and some redness appeared on his bronze skin.

Qianye Kazunobu nodded slightly, but to be on the safe side he emphasized:

"There are at least eighty people in the entire Metropolitan Police Department who like Officer Sato. Inspector Megure is actually aware of the internal detectives' pursuit of Officer Sato, but he doesn't have much opinion on it."

"It's just that pursuit is something that happens after get off work. Don't show such thoughts on the surface when you're working. It will easily affect our job as criminal police officers."

As a criminal policeman, the essential work is the key.

Chiba Kazunobu emphasized this because the idiot in front of him had made many mistakes, many of which were caused by his unprofessional and careless work.

Some of them have a lot to do with Officer Sato.

"There are quite a few people in the Metropolitan Police Department who are openly pursuing Officer Sato, including some with status and connections like Shiratori. Tell me, besides being a bit handsome, what else do you have?"

"No, no."

Takagi Shigeru felt a little helpless and also melancholy about his ordinary identity.

He was just an ordinary criminal police officer with a clean record, no strong background, and not a professional. His only experience as a criminal police officer was as a traffic police officer, and his experience in handling cases was almost zero.

If you take a closer look at his current conditions, it can be said that they are quite poor.

Chiba Kazunobu naturally knew Takagi Wataru's predicament, and he didn't mean to poke his friend's soft spot. He just hoped that this idiot Takagi would be more pragmatic.

"So, do your essential work first. Gain more work experience so that you can at least participate in serious cases. Otherwise, do you think you can participate in serious cases? I guess you will have to follow me for a long time."

"Officer Sato is a well-known career-oriented woman in the Metropolitan Police Department. She usually works alongside Inspector Megure on cases. She's already a junior inspector, even though she's not in the professional group. Do you think the gap between you and her will widen in the future?"

Takagi Shigeru simply thought about it and knew the answer was definitely yes.

At this moment, he was also surprisingly serious.

"Don't worry, Chiba. I will definitely be serious about my future work!"

Chapter 297 I want to know

At the same time, Sato Miwako is conducting reconnaissance in the villa.

The guest rooms on the second floor are all vacant, but the cleanliness of each room seems to have been cleaned yesterday.

The base colors of almost all the vacant rooms on the second floor can be seen at a glance, and there is basically no place to hide anything.

Walk out of the glass door and come to the second-floor balcony.

The balconies here are not shared, but the view from each room's balcony is quite good. However, it is still two or three hundred meters away from the suspension bridge.

It is surrounded by forests, and the boundary of the forest is a rift valley that completely separates this area from the surrounding forests. Before, except for the suspension bridge, this place seemed like an area completely isolated from the outside world.

Miwako Sato was puzzled. Why do rich people like to buy villas in such places?

Not only is transportation inconvenient, but traveling is also very unsafe.

It would be easy for someone to destroy that kind of wooden suspension bridge.

Looking out from the balcony, Miwako Sato could see many of her colleagues from the Forensic Department searching for clues at the place where the murderer had fainted.

The location of the suspension bridge can be clearly seen from the villa, and there is no obstruction in front.

The straight-line distance between the woods on both sides and the suspension bridge is more than fifty meters, which means that there is almost no hiding place where the murderer can be knocked unconscious with one blow.

So how did the murderer faint?

This is a big problem, and it is also a problem that Sato Miwako cannot figure out.

In addition to this problem, there are also big problems with the murderer himself.

How did a man with atrophied muscles manage to violently kill two people?

A few hours ago, this man was still normal. He became so old in just a few hours. This... is not normal.

It was natural for Sato Miwako to think of all the obvious problems.

She understood how obvious this murder was, but she also understood how outrageous it was.

Such an obvious case hides many situations that are difficult to explain and understand.

For some reason, the boy's figure appeared in her mind at this moment.

So, he knew something.

Just as she was thinking this, Sato Miwako recalled what she saw when she came in just now. All the parties involved seemed to know everything.

No, everyone knows it.

After realizing this, Sato Miwako decided to start with the boy she had more contact with.

I went downstairs, came to the room where the parties were resting, and knocked on the door gently.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in."

A steady female voice came from inside.

Miwako Sato opened the door and went in.

This is a small reception room and also a tea room. Four people are sitting at the four corners of a round table, eating cakes and drinking black tea, enjoying a relaxing afternoon moment.

Miwako Sato noticed that the two young ladies of the Suzuki family looked a little bad, as did the young lady with short black hair who was writing something with a pen. Only Amamiya Ren's face was as calm as ever, like the surface of the water in an ancient well, without even a ripple.

"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest. I actually still have some questions about the case, and I need to conduct some routine inquiries with that gentleman."

"Why is there still more?"

Suzuki Sonoko frowned. She had no problem cooperating with the police investigation, but the continuous questioning did make her feel upset.

"Garden."

Amamiya Ren interrupted Sonoko's subsequent words, put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.

"Since Miss Detective still has questions, it's only natural for me to cooperate with the work."

While speaking, Amamiya Ren also glanced at Suzuki Ayako.

Suzuki Ayako glanced at Sato Miwako and nodded slightly.

Then, Amamiya Ren followed him out of the room.

As the door closed, Suzuki Ayako's expression shifted from calm to serious. "It seems like this incident is too out of the ordinary. The female officer seems to be starting to suspect us."

This statement immediately drew complaints from Suzuki Sonoko.

"How can it possibly seem normal for what that guy did?"

Suzuki Ayako and Ikeda Chikako also sighed.

Indeed, those who witnessed the entire murder process could clearly see how abnormal Takahashi Ryoichi was. How could those police officers who often handle criminal cases not realize it?

"I just don't know how Lianlian will deal with it."

Suzuki Sonoko was naturally not worried about the subsequent problems. They did not participate in Takahashi Ryoichi's murder at all. They were also victims, and it was definitely impossible to put the blame on them.

The female detective's second questioning was probably also an attempt to get to the bottom of the matter.

But we still need to see how Lianlian handles it.

After walking out of the room, Amamiya Ren followed Sato Miwako to a more remote room on the second floor.

There are no criminal police investigating in the villa now.

The fatal clues were all outside. The murderer was arrested at the suspension bridge, and the murder took place on the forest path leading to the other side of the suspension bridge. There were almost no valuable clues to be found in the villa.

It was because there were no other detectives on the second floor that Sato Miwako brought the person to the second floor.

"So, you guys did it?"

Once he opened his mouth, the boldness of the questions he asked was beyond imagination.

In response, Amamiya Ren just shook her head slightly.

"It's obvious that this incident has nothing to do with us. No one wants to see such a situation. Also, isn't Detective Sato too direct? How can a murder case be pinned on us, the victims?"

"What do you think?"

Miwako Sato stared at Ren Amamiya with eager eyes.

"When you were talking to me just now, you described the murder scene so clearly. It's obvious that you saw it with your own eyes."

"Although I don't know if you saw it through the surveillance, it's obvious that you... you all, have a lot to do with this incident."

Miwako Sato glanced outside the glass door, towards the suspension bridge.

"Also, the murderer had just killed someone and was in a state of extreme excitement. How did he faint not far from the suspension bridge?"

"There's also the image of the killer becoming elderly and having his muscles atrophied just a few hours before and after. These are all very unusual. At least I don't think they can be explained by normal science."

Amamiya Ren nodded slightly, expressing her affirmation of the question raised by Sato Miwako.

"So, what does Officer Sato want to do?"

Miwako Sato took a deep breath, she knew the real topic would start from here.

"I want to know if this incident has anything to do with you?"

Chapter 298 The Faith in Materialism Shattered

"Although I really wanted to cooperate with Officer Sato to bring some drama to this incident, unfortunately, there is no twist in this case."

Amamiya Ren didn't like joking, so she simply got to the point.

"The tragedy in this case is caused by Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi. The reason the police haven't been able to reach a conclusion on this case, despite clear intelligence and leads, is because some issues cannot be explained by normal science."

Sato Miwako immediately grasped the key point.

"So, what do you mean it can't be explained by normal science-?"

At the same time, his brain began to work at high speed, thinking about the strangeness of this case.

There was almost no evidence that could be overturned in the chain of evidence, and everything pointed to the murderer. However, all the evidence seemed to be beyond the reach of a normal human being, and this was the biggest problem with this case.

“Like literally.”

Amamiya Ren didn't mean to keep the secret, but explained it patiently:

"The evidence the police have now actually only points to Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi, but the way he killed people is completely unlike what a normal person would do. The weapon he used was just an ordinary tree-chopping axe. The axe's area is not very large and the weight is moderate, but it is not enough to cut a person in half in one go."

"This is the biggest contradiction in all the evidence right now."

"It is also a contradiction that can never be proven through scientific means."

Miwako Sato nodded slightly. Indeed, this was a contradiction that could not be explained by science.

Clearly, all the evidence points to the murderer, but it is these very evidences that make the murderer's method of killing seem particularly...unscientific.

Seeing that Sato Miwako could understand, Amamiya Ren then raised the second contradiction:

"As for the second inexplicable contradiction, it is the murderer, Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi himself."

"How could his body age so much in just a few hours? He looked like a 60-year-old, or even 70-year-old."

"It's not just his muscles that are aging; his entire body is experiencing this severe aging. However, this aging isn't based on the passage of time; it's caused by external forces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have aged so quickly."

"This is another contradiction that cannot be explained at present."

"However, I think this contradiction will soon not be a contradiction. It will become a dead end."

Sato Miwako frowned.

"You mean, he will..."

She stroked her neck with her fingers and looked at Amamiya Ren as if to confirm.

In response to this, Amamiya Ren nodded slightly.

"His aging is not without reason, and his time has already begun to count down. The police are unable to wake Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi from his coma. The reason he has not woken up yet is due to his body's instincts."
