Sato's age is not young. When he stood up to meet Zhao Yu, his body trembled, which means a little Parkinson's.
Moreover, the most interesting thing is that although Sato is talking to Zhao Yu, he doesn't look directly at Zhao Yu. I don't know whether it's his bad eyes or something else.
Although Sato was at home, he still wore a formal suit, as if he was going out to see some big man.
"Just call me officer Yu!" Zhao Yu introduced herself, then showed her intention and said she wanted to know about the sunflower case with Mr. Sato.
"Really... What a surprise..." after learning Zhao Yu's intention, Sato was surprised. "That case... Happened in 91, didn't it?
"The prosecution period has passed. Unexpectedly... Someone is still investigating?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said, "I recently received instructions from my superiors to re investigate all outstanding cases. I am responsible for this sunflower case!"
"Really?" Sato was a little suspicious. "A few days ago, I had dinner with the director! Why didn't you hear him mention it? "
"I heard..." Zhao Yu ignored each other's reasons and directly put on a high hat for Sato. "Mr. Sato was the most responsible and hardworking person in the investigation of the case. Therefore, today, I specially come to ask you for advice!"
"Cough!" Hearing this, Sato gestured to sit down, and they sat on the sofa.
Then, under Sato's sign, a servant went to the kitchen to pour tea.
Zhao Yu observed the environment and found that there were four bodyguards in the house. They were located on both sides of Sato, and the other two were in the lobby and the corridor leading to the bedroom
In addition, the housekeeper also stood on the other side, waiting for the master's orders at any time.
This style has a royal feeling. Zhao Yu really didn't expect that an ordinary police officer in the past could have such a style today!
"I don't know where officer Yu heard about it," Sato said pointedly, putting his hands on his knees. "But the real situation is that I was only a deputy chief of the criminal investigation section at that time. I tried my best, but I can't say it!
"However, that case is also a shame. Although we investigated for a long time, we still didn't find the murderer in the end. It really failed to live up to the expectations of the victims' families!
"I remember that the girl killed was very young. Her name was... Pingcheng Xinjia, right?"
"Yes," said Zhao Yu. "Since you still remember, I won't beat around the bush. We tracked down several insiders at that time. They all mentioned that the victim was close to a foreign man before he was killed. I don't know. Do you know about it?"
"Oh? Foreigners? " Sato tried to recall and asked, "yes... What kind of foreigner is he?"
"A white man with curly hair, about 1.85 meters tall, driving a luxury car..." Zhao Yu described the man's information. "A witness saw that Pingcheng Xinjia had come down from his car. They behaved very intimately!
"However, we didn't see such an important suspect on the file. I don't know why?"
"Oh... I remember, indeed, there is such a thing... Yes..."
I don't know why, when talking, Mr. Sato's eyes still glittered and dodged, a little absent-minded, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Oh? Do you remember? " Zhao Yu was surprised, "who is that foreigner? Why was he erased from the file? "
"Well... Can we not comply with the approval from the prime minister's office?" Sato showed a bitter expression.
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was even more surprised. "Is this man so big?"
"Who the hell is he? How can a little policeman like us know?" Sato stabilized his mind and said, "at the beginning, when investigating the case, I was also responsible for investigating the information of this person, but I haven't started yet!
"An order came from above, asking me not to check this man again! I still remember that the car he drove was a Lincoln. The car... Seems to have been given to us by the president of the United States during his visit... "
"No, why not?" Zhao Yu is more curious.
"Because that man can't be the murderer!" Sato said, "the killing time of shinka hiragi was between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., and at that time, the man was attending a banquet at Ancheng hot spring resort hundreds of kilometers away. Even the prime minister could testify for him!"
"Oh? How dare you...? " Zhao Yu frowned, "don't you think it's strange? Since this man has no problem, why not write his name on the file? "
"Celebrity, celebrity effect..." Sato said, "I didn't understand it at the beginning, but later I understood that celebrities like them need dignity and zero scandal. If that person's name is related to the murder, it will affect his reputation
"Besides, we have to negotiate with the embassy. It's very troublesome, so we don't have any records of him..."
"Well... Since you are such a big man," Zhao Yu asked, "then you must have speculated, Mr. Sato? Do you know who he is? "“ No, I don't know... "Sato shook his head and said," it says he has no problem, that's no problem! Although I have guessed his identity, I can't guess that the country is so big and there are so many big people... "Besides, sometimes such big people are not famous stars. They may be special envoys or secret envoys sent by other countries. We little police officers can't touch them at all..." Oh? " Zhao Yu pondered and asked, "so, do you have any other guesses about the sunflower case? Did you find any other suspects that year? "“ The suspects checked a lot, but they were all ruled out! " Sato replied, "that case, at first, we always thought it was not like a case, because the characteristics were very obvious. We thought it would be a serial murder“ However, we didn't find other similar cases, and later, no similar cases occurred... "By the way, if you want to guess, I remember that our section chief thought that the sunflower case might be related to some kind of cult, because some things such as white candles or charcoal were found at the scene of the crime“ The feeling is that the murderer had some kind of sacrificial ceremony when he committed the crime... "Sato said," however, because there are not many clues left at the scene, it is difficult for us to find out... "I remember, for this reason, we consulted many experts in sects and asked them if they had similar blood sacrifices or legends, but we didn't find anything..." finally, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
