Chapter 368 This Is Reality (Happy New Year!)

No matter how much pressure and anger he felt, Hattori Heiji could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Who told him to boast so much in front of his father before?

The best way right now is to learn as much as possible about the specific circumstances of the case, and then act quickly to find the murderer as soon as possible with Kudo... ah no, with Asano.

The Memu Police Department spread out a report and introduced it seriously: "According to the forensic autopsy results, the body in the iron barrel is that of a woman, aged between forty-five and fifty years old. We extracted her body DNA, and compared it with the DNA information in the information database. However, after all, this technology is still very new, and most people’s DNA information has not been entered into the database, so we were unable to find matching samples.”

"You just said that there is no matching person among the missing people, right?" Nobushige asked.

"There are about thirty people of the same age and gender who have disappeared recently. We have tested the DNA of the missing female family members, but we still can't find it." At this point, Officer Megure couldn't help but feel downcast, "Now our police can't find it in this situation. It’s a headache.”

Hattori Heiji picked up the photo of the body and looked at it carefully: "After being strangled, the skin of the deceased was burned with gasoline, and then sealed in an iron barrel with cement."

"Yes, the method is very cruel!"

Nobushige asked again: "If the identity of the deceased cannot be found, have you tried to directly find the murderer by looking at factors such as cement, iron barrels, and gasoline?"

In this kind of “normal” criminal case, Officer Megure’s Criminal Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department is definitely a professional among professionals: “Of course, the place where the body was found was just a construction site, with cement, iron and steel. Barrels are already found at construction sites. Gasoline can be purchased at any gas station, so the scope of the investigation is too large."

Hattori Heiji: "Are there no witnesses?"

"No."

Hattori Heiji scratched his hair with a headache: "We will never find clues to this kind of case in the Metropolitan Police Department. Asano, let's go to the place where the body was found and take a look?"

Of course Nobuhiro had no objection, but before that, he suddenly thought of something.

The victim of the iron barrel hiding case was a woman, aged between forty-five and fifty years old, and she probably had no family members, or her family members did not call the police because of her disappearance.

There is one person who meets all of these characteristics.

"Megure Police Department." Nobutushige suddenly said, "Maybe you can ask Mr. Kubota to come over and ask."

"Kubota?" Officer Megure was confused.

So Nobushige handed over the contact information he copied from Kogoro Mori last time to Officer Megure: "Kubota Yumiya, I found Mr. Mori a few days ago and asked Mr. Mori to help find his missing wife, Kubota Airi."

When Officer Megure heard this, he immediately became serious: "Why didn't Yumi Kubota call the police?"

"Because he initially thought that his wife had taken the money and ran away with her lover." Nobuhiro also didn't expect that such an ordinary commission might be involved in a murder case. Sure enough, in Ke Xue's world, one shouldn't take chances.

Nobushige reminded: "Officer Megure, as detectives, Mr. Mori and I should not disclose the client's information, so I hope that Mr. Mori can contact Mr. Kubota first, and then let the police intervention."

"Okay!" Officer Memu agreed.

Nobushige immediately called Mouri Kogoro. Maori Kogoro expressed his dissatisfaction with Nobushige's participation in the case behind his back, but he still took the initiative to contact Kubota Yumiya.

When he received the call, Kubota Yumiya was busy in the restaurant. When he heard that his wife was likely to be involved in the murder, he immediately agreed to cooperate with the police.

However, Nobushige and the others only met Kubota Yumiya in the afternoon.

"Sorry, sorry!" Yumi Kubota apologized profusely as soon as he arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, "I have to work in the store for a while, and I didn't have time to come over until now."

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything.

The Megure Police Department got straight to the point: "Your wife, Ms. Kubota, matches all the conditions of the deceased we found, so we hope to do a nucleic acid test on her family to determine whether the deceased is Ms. Kubota. Of course, from my From a perspective, I hope the result is negative."

Kubota Yumiya frowned and said: "But Ellie and I have no children, and her parents also passed away many years ago. Ellie now only has an unrelated sister whose life and death are unknown."

"This, that's it." Officer Megure said helplessly, "Then I can only go to your house to see if I can find Mrs. Kubota's hair or anything with DNA information."

"Okay." Kubota Yumiya agreed readily, but he immediately added, "It's just that I just moved to a new house two days ago, and the original house has been cleaned."

"Huh??" Officer Memu was really confused now.

Nobushige turned his head slightly and glanced at Kubota Yumi. The man had a calm face, with no sign of lying.

It's just that there seem to be a lot of coincidences happening to him.

Hattori Heiji was also aware of this problem. He approached Nobushige and whispered: "My wife may have been killed, but Kubota Yumiya was able to properly arrange the work in the store before coming to the Metropolitan Police. When his wife was missing, he actually moved. ?”

"It looks like she has known about the murder of his wife for a long time, and is still hiding it deliberately." Nobumangi sighed slightly, "Mrs. Ai Li is indeed very pitiful. She doesn't have a single family member. If we can get it from her family, Without Mrs. Ellie’s DNA, this clue can only be interrupted.”

"Then if Kubota Airi was really killed by Kubota Yumi, wouldn't there be nothing we can do?"

Faced with Hattori Heiji's question, Nobushige remained silent.

He didn't know how to answer this question. Should he tell Hattori Heiji that this was reality?

In reality, due to factors such as technology, system, and procedures, in many cases the investigators clearly know who the murderer is, but there is no way for him to accept legal sanctions.

Every country strives to improve the law and hopes that the law can be comprehensive, but in reality this is almost impossible. The cases are too complicated, and human characteristics dictate that perfection is relative. All those engaged in legal work can only work tirelessly for the ultimate goal, but no one dares to say that a perfect and fair world will be achieved.

Probably for these passionate high school detectives, they still have a sincere heart and believe that the world is black and white, and justice will eventually defeat evil.

This mentality is great because it only belongs to young people. Nobushige didn't want to break Hattori Heiji's fantasy so early.
