Kitajima didn't expect that the police would come so quickly. Before the evidence of his murder was dealt with, the police would come to his home to investigate. Under such circumstances, no matter how much he tried to make excuses, it was meaningless, so Kitajima simply confessed.
"As of now, I have nothing to hide. I did kill that man!"
Hattori Heiji was speechless for the prisoner who admitted his crime so readily. His previous reasoning about the prisoner's departure from the scene was preempted by the guy named Akechi Takato. He wanted to come here first to have a good exchange with the suspect and find out his flaws in order to win back.
One game, now it seems there is no chance.
Officer Otaki entered the prisoner's room and found the knife used to slit the deceased's wrist. He then asked the police who followed him to put it away and notified a team of police officers to come over.
"Then why did you kill that man? Is it related to the extortion case you reported before?"
Hattori Heiji asked.
"That's right, I thought I would never see that man again, but I didn't expect that God would let me see this guy again!"
Bei Daojue became more and more excited as he talked, and everyone present did not disturb him. They waited until his mood calmed down a bit before continuing to ask questions.
"What exactly happened in that extortion case?"
Hattori Heiji asked.
"The person who was blackmailed back then was my girlfriend."
Bei Daojue recalled and told what he knew back then.
The story happened when Kitajima Kaku was in college. At that time, he was dating a girl named Keiko who was one year younger than him. Originally, the two of them were just like lovers of that age, spending all day together, and from time to time.
Thinking about the future, there are not many disturbances, and the relationship is extremely stable.
The accident happened in Kitajima Kaku's senior year. At that time, because they had to do graduation projects and find jobs, the two of them spent less time together, and in that year, Keiko had an accident. At that time, Kitajima Kaku and
I don’t know what happened to Keiko, but every time they met, Kitajima felt that Keiko was absent-minded, but when I asked her, she didn’t tell her what happened to her. At that time, Kitajima just thought that it was because of his neglect that Keiko
He lost his temper, but due to the pressure of job hunting and graduation, Kitajima was not in the mood to think about it at the time. He only felt that he would be able to recover slowly when everything gets better.
It wasn't until one day that Keiko called him suddenly and finally told him the truth.
It turns out that Keiko was secretly photographed at some point. Someone hacked into the computer that Keiko often used and took many private photos of Keiko through the computer's camera. The person who secretly photographed them used these photos to blackmail Keiko.
The blackmailer never left any real evidence, and only contacted Keiko by email every time. In order to prevent the photos from being spread, Keiko had to obey the instructions and put the cash in the designated place. This situation lasted for a long time, and Keiko tried to call the police.
However, all the emails sent by the blackmailer will disappear completely afterward, and the police investigation will be in vain. Moreover, after Keiko called the police, the blackmailer's threats became more serious.
Under such circumstances, Keiko finally told Kitajima Kaku about the matter.
Knowing the whole story, Kitajima Satoru told Keiko not to be afraid. Since there was no evidence that the blackmailer threatened Keiko, the blackmailer would always come to get cash, so Kitajima Satoru made a plan to make the blackmailer show up.
But this plan failed. A person who was suspected of being a blackmailer did appear at that time, and that person was the deceased in this incident. However, they took the person to the police station to report the crime. In the end, the police still found no evidence and had to let the person go.
This move angered the blackmailer, and Keiko's photos were spread. Unable to resist the pressure, Keiko finally committed suicide by slitting her wrists.
"So when you saw that man again you chose to kill him yourself?"
Hattori Heiji said this after listening to Kitajima Satoru's account.
"That's right. I'm pretty sure that person must be the blackmailer. After Keiko committed suicide, I reviewed the whole thing and thought that he must be a master of computer technology. He cleared all the online information so that the police could not find any evidence.
Such a person would definitely not blackmail Keiko alone. So after that, I started to learn computers by myself, hoping to meet him again one day."
Bei Daojue said excitedly, "Then, a few days ago, I finally saw him near the Internet cafe, so I pretended to be injured and asked for leave. I have been following him these days and found that he goes to the Internet cafe at a fixed time every day.
There is a fixed box, so I tampered with the ventilation duct of that box in advance and killed him today! I want him to experience the pain that Keiko went through!"
"So in order to take revenge, you deliberately killed the deceased by cutting his wrists?"
Gao Yuan asked at this time. He noticed this detail. Since Keiko committed suicide by cutting her wrists, Kitajima Sakuya, who wanted revenge, just cut his wrists and kill the deceased. There was no need to scare the deceased to death.
"That's right, I knocked him unconscious and severed his arteries. This is what I learned over the past few days. As long as I use two knives to cut off two arteries, he will definitely die if no one else comes to save him."
Bei Daojue replied.
"That means you didn't scare him after cutting his wrists?"
Hattori Heiji said doubtfully.
"After slitting his wrists, I took his things and left. Why did I scare him?"
Kitajima didn't understand the meaning of Hattori Heiji's words.
"Then what did you take from him?"
Gao Yuan thought for a while and asked, "For example, a disk or something."
"There is a disk, but when I opened it with my computer, I don't know what program was triggered, and the data in my computer and the disk were destroyed together."
Bei Daojue said helplessly.
Soon, the police ordered by Officer Otaki arrived at the scene and took away Kitajima Satoru. The rest of the matter was investigated by the police.
But for Gao Yuan, this matter is not over yet.
The settlement panel was triggered twice, once after Gao Yuan concluded the matter, and again after Gao Yuan admitted that the case had been solved.
Now Gao Yuan does not think this matter has been resolved, and he has not yet summarized the incident, so the settlement panel has not been triggered.
If you think about it carefully, if Kitajima's words are true, then the reasoning that the deceased died in revenge for others, although the result is right, the process is wrong.
So what is the truth of the case?
The deceased may be related to the black organization. I cannot fully confirm the truth based on my current situation. I can only consider the possibility of the entire case.
Consider that the deceased was actually a member of the black organization.
Considering that the organization had collected information on programmers on a large scale, and because it knew that the Internet cafe database contained the data of the head office, in order to steal the information about programmers, the organization sent deceased people who were good at hacking techniques to steal the information.
However, because there was too much information in the database of the Internet cafe, the deceased could not distinguish which ones were useful information, so he could only use Trojan horses to steal them all. It was also because there was too much data and too much bandwidth was used to transmit the data that he, who worked part-time in the Internet cafe, discovered the clues.
Today, while stealing data, he was killed by Kitajima Kaku. Perhaps due to the program settings, the deceased had not operated for a long time. The program judged that an accident had occurred, and urgently triggered the "Night Baron Virus" to remove all traces.
Elimination, resulting in all data in the Internet cafe server being destroyed.
Okay, that makes sense!
Gao Yuan felt that he had clarified the context, so he continued to think about it.
Then let’s turn to the murder of the deceased. The deceased who was knocked unconscious by Kitajima and cut his wrists actually woke up before death, but lost the ability to call for help because he had bled too much. In such helplessness and despair, he
Scared yourself to death?
No, the expression of the deceased was not only despair, it was definitely real fear! But his fear did not come from the murderer, but from the organization!
If you think about it this way, everything makes sense!
"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."
Just when I thought of this, the settlement panel was triggered.
…
As night fell, on a dark street outside the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, a black Porsche 356a started its engine and drove away.
In the passenger seat, a burly man in black with sunglasses put down the cell phone he had just finished making a call on, and said to the silver-haired man driving the car: "Brother, I found out, that guy is just someone who was blackmailed by him back then.
The motive of killing a personal friend was just to avenge the person who was blackmailed."
"Yeah, that's good."
The silver-haired man revealed his eyes half-covered by his bangs and said calmly.
"Anyway, the 'Night Baron' is perfect and will not leave any evidence. A person who doesn't even have a code name will just die."
"But if he dies, what will happen?"
"Don't worry, let's leave the next thing to 'Tequila'."
