Chapter 44 The Murderer

There are four pictures, which were captured by surveillance cameras at a store opposite the entrance to the seawall.

If you want to enter the seawall from that entrance, you will inevitably enter the store surveillance range.

The number of people was consistent with the four people mentioned in the commission, and the resolution was fairly clear. However, the four people did not approach the store. They just walked past the other side of the store and then walked into the seawall entrance.

So the picture only has the side and back.

All four of them were wearing sportswear of different colors, caps on their heads, and an ordinary sports backpack on their backs.

Such attire is very common near beaches and seawalls.

"The profile of this figure looks familiar?"

When he turned to the third picture, Higashino Hirosawa looked at the sideways appearance of a person in the picture and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

Higashino Hirosawa immediately closed his eyes and recalled, the memories of the past few days flashed rapidly in his mind.

"found it!"

After a while, Higashino Hirosawa found a suspicious figure in his memory.

It was a young man about twenty years old, wearing an ordinary white shirt.

It was Tuesday afternoon, Higashino Hirosawa and Xiao Qianhe went out for a walk after eating.

Not far from the rental house, I met this person.

This man was talking on the phone sideways on the side of the road. When Higashino Hirosawa stopped by the roadside to teach Xiao Qianhe how to recognize objects and learn to speak, the man put away the phone and walked straight past him.

Due to the difference in clothes, the person in the picture is still wearing a peaked cap, but Higashino Hirosawa compared it repeatedly in his mind and thought that there was at least a 90% chance that it was the same person!

You can't see the face in the picture, but Higashino Hirosawa remembered the young man's appearance through his super memory ability.

Although it is only 90% based on the picture, taking into account the time and place, and excluding the factors of coincidence, Higashino Hirosawa has been basically confirmed to be the same person.

The time was Tuesday, which was the third day after he returned to the rental house without dying but losing his memory.

How could it be such a coincidence to meet such a similar person on the roadside near the rental house at this time?

Most likely, this person wanted to confirm whether he had really lost his memory.

In fact, it makes no difference to the murderer whether Higashino Hirosawa has lost his memory or not.

Because the police have been called, the murderer will naturally not be able to escape if he does not lose his memory.

If he loses his memory, he won't be able to recognize the murderer and the murderer can go free.

The murderer came to him to confirm, but it made no sense.

But as a murderer, I wouldn't think so.

Only by confirming it in person can they feel at ease.

But they didn't expect that Higashino Hirosawa had no memory of the murderer, but he recognized him after just meeting him once.

Higashino Hirosawa also figured out how to find the person.

Japan in this world also has a very popular social networking site, where many young people are keen to share their lives and pictures.

Higashino Hirosawa plans to use his painting ability to restore the person's appearance to the same as the photo, and then use a search engine to search for it.

It would be best if we could find this person directly. If not, Higashino Hirosawa would use the second method.

Create internet rumors!

The murderer of the most high-profile serial murder case has not yet been found. Higashino Hirosawa used his painting ability to forge a few more photos near the murder scene and posted them on the Internet, saying that this person is the murderer and calling on everyone to find him.

reveal his identity.

I believe it won't take long to find out this person's identity and address.

However, the second method will alert the enemy.

Now Higashino Hirosawa has only found one person, and he still has to find the other three murderers through this person.

Before you find this person and interrogate the other three, you can't alert him and let him run away first.

Otherwise, it will be extremely troublesome to find it again, and I don’t know how much time it will take.

So if the first method is available, there is no need to use the second method.

As for asking Nishio Mahyu for help, Higashino Hirosawa wouldn't consider it.

Nishio Maori is a member of the 1st Investigation Division of the Police Department. Once he sends the photo, she will become suspicious.

After confirming this person's identity and checking his whereabouts over the weekend, we might be able to directly identify the murderer and arrest him.

In that case, Higashino Hirosawa would not be able to let the murderer die socially.

Even if it is not certain that this person is the murderer, once something happens to this person, Higashino Hirosawa will be suspected.



"How's it going? Did you remember anything?"

Nishio Mahyu called quickly.

"No, I have no impression at all."

"Xiwei Police Department, apart from these surveillance pictures, don't they have any clues? They went all the way to the seawall, but they didn't have any clues?"

Higashino Hirosawa asked a little doubtfully.

"I know what you want to ask, but no! At least one of them knows how to counter-reconnaissance. All their outfits were changed once on the way.

The place of surveillance. In fact, the surveillance in that store was just installed, otherwise they might not even keep this bit of evidence."

Nishio Mahiru said regretfully.

There must be professional guidance behind these people.

"What about their means of going to sea?"

"No more. There are clues that they drove a small speedboat, but we couldn't find the speedboat."

Higashino Hirosawa was slightly silent after hearing this. He thought for a while and then asked: "Nishio Police Department, the actions of these people are unusual. Are they from the Kanbara family who want to kill me?"

No matter how he thought about Higashino Hirosawa's death in this world, he felt that it was the work of the Kanbaru family.

"It can't be the Kanbaru family. If the Kanbaru family wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive now. After Mika's death, someone in the Kanbaru family did want to kill you, but the head of the family personally gave an order not to take action against you, but he couldn't help either.

You, just pretend that there is no such person as you in this world."

Nishio Shinryu said slowly.

Thinking of Mixia, her mood suddenly dropped a lot.

Mika's death caused a great shock to the Kanhara family.

Nishio Mahyu has a very good relationship with Kanbara Mika, but other people in the Kanbara family look down on her. She doesn't even know how many people there are in the Kanbara family.

After Mika died, Nishio Mahyu heard the news that someone from the Kanbara family wanted to kill Higashino Hirosawa and bring Chiwa-chan back to the Kanbara family.

But then came the order from the head of the family, prohibiting anyone from having any form of contact with Higashino Hirosawa, and violators would be expelled from the family.

Nishio Shinryu was not considered a member of the Kanbaru family. The ban was not passed on to her, so she pretended not to know about it.

However, Nishio Shinryu couldn't understand why the head of the family didn't ask someone to take Chiwa-chan back to the Kanhara family. Chiwa-chan was the bloodline left by Mika.

Isn’t it the Kanhara family?

That's not necessarily true. The head of the family didn't want to kill him, but Nishio Shinryu also said that it might be someone else from the Kanbara family.

The family leader's ban was a year ago. It's not strange for someone to endure it for a year and then kill him again.

However, even if I asked Nishio Shinryu, I couldn't get the answer, so I had to look it up myself.

"Nishio Police Department, I will call you when I have time to ask you something related to Mixia. I will hang up now."
