Chapter 2604: I’m police officer Yu (2)

Translator: 549690339

“Hidekazu wasn’t young anymore, so when he stood up to welcome Zhao Yu, his body was trembling a little, like a papinson.”

“The most interesting thing was that although Sato was talking to Zhao Yu, he did not look Zhao Yu in the eye. Zhao Yu wondered if it was because of his bad eyesight or some other reason.”

“Although Hidekazu was at home, he was still dressed formally as if he was about to meet an important figure.”

“””You can just call me officer Yu!”” Zhao Yu introduced himself, then explained why he was there. He said that he wanted to know more about the sunflower case from Mr. Sato.”

“””What a surprise …”” After knowing Zhao Yu’s intentions, Hidekazu was surprised.””That case happened in 1991, right?”” he asked.”

“””The prosecution period has passed, but … There are still people investigating?”””

“””Yup!”” Zhao Yu said,””I’ve recently received instructions from the higher-ups to re-investigate all pending cases. I’m in charge of the sunflower case!”””

“””Is that so?”” Hidekazu was a little suspicious,””a few days ago, I was eating with the director! Why didn’t I hear him mention it?”””

“””I heard that …”” Zhao Yu ignored the other party’s reason and complimented Hidekazu,””Mr. Hidekazu was the most responsible and hardworking person in the investigation of this case. So, I came here today to ask you for advice!”””

“””Ahem!”” Hidekazu gestured for them to take a seat and the two of them sat on the sofa.”

“Then, under Hidekazu’s instructions, a servant went to the kitchen to pour tea.”

“Zhao Yu observed his surroundings and found that there were four bodyguards standing in the room. They were on either side of Sato, while one of the other two was in the living room, and the other was in the corridor leading to the bedroom.”

“In addition, the Butler was also standing on the other side, waiting for his master’s instructions.”

Zhao Yu had never thought that an ordinary police officer in the past could have such a presence today!

“””I don’t know where officer Yu heard it from,”” Hidekazu put his hands on his knees and said objectively,””but the truth is, I was only a Deputy Section Chief of the Criminal Investigation Division at that time. I’m not the most hardworking one!”

“””However, I’m also ashamed to say that although we investigated for a long time, we still couldn’t find the murderer. We really let down the expectations of the victim’s family!”

“””I remember that the girl who was killed was very young. Her name was … Xinjia of Ping Cheng, right?”””

“””Yes,”” Zhao Yu said.””Since you still remember, I won’t beat around the bush. We’ve investigated a few people who knew about it, and they all mentioned that before the victim was killed, she was very close to a foreign man. I wonder if you know about this?”””

“””Oh? Are they foreigners?”” Hidekazu tried his best to recall and asked,””what … What kind of foreigner was 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 Ping Cheng’s Xinjia got out of his car, and the two of them acted very intimate!”

“””But we didn’t see such an important suspect in the file. I wonder why?”””

“””Oh … I remember now. Indeed, there was such a thing … Right …”””

“For some reason, Mr. Sato’s eyes were shifty when he spoke. He seemed a little absent-minded as if he was waiting for someone.”

“””Oh? You still remember?”” Zhao Yu was pleasantly surprised.””That foreigner, who is he? Why was his name erased from the dossiers?”””

“””Well … The Prime Minister’s Office has given the approval. Can we disobey?”” Hidekazu showed a bitter expression.”

“””Ah?”” Zhao Yu was even more surprised.””This person, is he that powerful?”””

“””Who is he? how would we know?”” Hidekazu calmed himself down and said,””back then, when I was investigating the case, I was also in charge of investigating this person’s information. However, I haven’t even started yet!”

“””The higher-ups sent an order for me to stop investigating this person! I still remember that the car he drove was a Lincoln. That car … I think it was given to us by the US President during his visit …”””

“””No more investigation, why not?”” Zhao Yu was even more curious.”

“””Because that person can’t be the murderer!”” Hidekazu said,””the time of Xinjia’s death was between 9 p.m. And 11 p.m. At that time, that person was attending a banquet at an city’s Hot Springs Resort, which was hundreds of kilometers away. Even the Prime Minister can testify for him!”””

“””Oh? It’s actually … Like this?”” Zhao Yu frowned.””Don’t you think it’s strange? Since there’s nothing wrong with this person, why don’t you write his name on the dossiers?”””

“””Celebrity, celebrity effect …”” Hidekazu said.””I didn’t understand it at first, but later I understood. Celebrities like them need to be decent and have no scandals. If that person’s name is related to a murder case, then it will affect his reputation …”””

“””Besides, we still have to negotiate with the Embassy. It’s very troublesome, so we don’t have any records of him …”””

“””Then … Since he’s such a Big Shot,”” Zhao Yu asked again,””Mr. Sato, you must have some speculation?”” Do you know who he is?”””

“””No, I don’t know …”” Hidekazu shook his head and said,””the higher-ups said that he is fine, so he is fine! Although I’ve tried to guess his identity, the country is so big and there are so many important people. It’s impossible to guess …”

“””Besides, these big shots are sometimes not famous celebrities. They may be special envoys or secret envoys sent by other countries. We, the small police officers, have no chance of coming into contact with them …”””

“””Oh?”” Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then asked,””so, regarding the sunflower case, do you have any other speculations? Back then, did you find any other suspects?”””

“””We’ve investigated many suspects, but we’ve ruled them out!”” Hidekazu replied,””as for that case, we didn’t think it was a case at first because the characteristics were obvious. We thought it would be a serial murder!”

“””But, we didn’t find any other similar cases, and after that, there were no similar cases …”””

“””By the way, if you want to talk about speculations, I remember that our Section Chief thought that the sunflower case might be related to some evil cult, because at the scene of the crime, some things like white candles or charcoal were found!”

“Hidekazu then said,””it feels like the murderer performed some kind of sacrificial ceremony when he committed the crime … But, there aren’t many clues left at the scene, so it’s difficult for us to find out …”””

“””I still remember that for this, we consulted many experts in the sect and asked if they had similar blood sacrifices or legends, but we didn’t find anything …”

“””In the end, because of the sunflowers and the missing left ear,”” Hidekazu said,””it was labeled as Van Gogh’s murder case by the newspaper, and it was spread all over the country. Seriously …”””
