在日本愛知縣名古屋市西區的
00:03
一棟普通公寓大樓裡
00:05
有一個房間的燈在長達26年的時間裡
00:07
幾乎夜夜通明
00:10
這盞燈並非為了照明
00:12
而是為了一個丈夫的承諾
00:14
一個未破懸案的無聲守候
00:16
時間回到1999年11月13日
00:19
一個平靜的週六下午
00:21
這個房間的寧靜被永遠打破
00:23
家庭主婦高羽奈美子
00:26
在這裡被人殘忍殺害
00:28
身邊是她年僅兩歲的兒子
00:30
案件現場留下的線索極少
00:32
兇手如人間蒸發
00:35
留下一個破碎的家庭
00:36
和一樁困擾警方1/4世紀的謎團
00:38
在將近一萬個日夜的漫長煎熬中
00:41
所有人都以為真相將永遠石沉大海
00:44
到2025年10月
00:48
案件終於出現了突破
00:49
大家好我小小
00:52
歡迎來到24探案
00:54
1999年11月13日星期六
00:56
日本
00:59
正處於經濟泡沫破裂後的長期蕭條中
01:00
但對於名古屋市西區
01:03
道生町5丁目的一戶普通家庭來說
01:05
這本應是一個充滿生活氣息的週末
01:07
男主人高羽悟時年43歲
01:10
是一名普通的上班族
01:13
女主人高羽奈美子同樣是32歲
01:15
是一位全職家庭主婦
01:19
他們的生活重心
01:21
是年僅兩歲的兒子高羽航平
01:22
這個三口之家
01:25
居住在道生公寓的201號房間
01:27
這是一間典型的日本公寓
01:30
面積不大
01:32
但對於這個小家庭來說夠溫馨
01:33
當天上午
01:36
高羽悟像往常一樣出門上班
01:37
奈美子則帶著兒子杭平在家中活動
01:40
根據鄰居的證言
01:43
上午時段
01:45
還能聽到201號房內
01:46
傳來母子玩耍的笑聲
01:48
一切都顯得那麼平常
01:49
當日下午約2點
01:52
這棟公寓的房東前來拜訪
01:53
他打算送一些剛摘的柿子給高羽家
01:55
當他到達201號房門前時
01:59
他注意到房門並沒有上鎖
02:01
他呼喊了高羽奈美子的名字
02:04
但室內沒有任何回應
02:07
出於擔心
02:09
他推門進入了室內
02:10
在與客廳相連的和室中
02:12
他看到了讓他驚駭的一幕
02:14
高羽奈美子倒在血泊之中
02:16
已經沒有了生命跡象
02:18
而在奈美子的身邊
02:20
兒子杭安然無恙的坐著
02:22
他沒有哭鬧
02:24
只是安靜的看著倒在地上的母親
02:25
房東在極度的驚恐中立刻退了出來
02:29
並撥通了警報電話
02:32
正在工作的高羽悟
02:34
是在接到警方的通知後才得知噩耗
02:35
他緊急趕回家中
02:38
面對的是已經拉起警戒線的家門
02:40
和破碎的一切
02:43
愛知縣西警察署
02:44
的警員最先抵達現場
02:46
隨後負責重案的搜索一課
02:49
的刑警和見事人員
02:51
也陸續趕到
02:52
公寓大樓下拉起了黃色的警戒線
02:53
現場勘察工作細緻而緊張的展開
02:56
法醫的初步判斷是
03:00
高羽奈美子的死亡
03:01
時間大約在下午1點到2點之間
03:03
致命傷是頸部的刀傷
03:06
凶器是一把尖銳的任務
03:08
但現場並未找到凶器
03:10
從傷口的形態來看
03:12
兇手手下手非常凶狠
03:14
帶有強烈的殺意
03:15
奈美子的手部和臂部
03:17
有一些輕微的刮傷
03:19
這被認為是他在最後一刻試圖抵抗時
03:21
留下的防禦傷
03:24
公寓的門窗完好
03:26
沒有任何被撬動的痕跡
03:27
玄關的門也沒有被反鎖
03:30
這表明兇手很可能是透過正常方式
03:32
進入房間的
03:35
一種可能是奈美子為來訪者開了門
03:37
這個人是他認識的人
03:40
另一種可能是
03:41
兇手以某種藉口騙開了門
03:43
室內沒有被大規模翻找過的跡象
03:45
奈美子的皮夾和家中的貴重物品
03:48
也都在原位
03:51
這基本上排除了以謀財為目的
03:52
的入室搶劫殺人
03:54
整個案件中最關鍵的物證
03:56
是在現場發現的一枚
03:59
不屬於被害者及其家人的血跡
04:00
經過化驗
04:03
此血跡的血型為b型
04:04
而奈美子是o型
04:06
丈夫高羽悟、兒子杭平都不是b型
04:08
這滴血跡很可能是在兇手行凶過程中
04:11
自己受傷所留下的
04:15
這成為了警方鎖定兇手身分的唯一
04:17
也是最重要的物理證據
04:20
高羽奈美子
04:22
出生於一個普通的日本家庭
04:23
她性格文靜
04:26
不善言辭
04:27
但內心善良
04:28
對身邊的人總是報以微笑
04:29
在朋友和家人的眼中
04:32
她是個典型的賢妻良母
04:34
生活簡單而
04:36
專注她與丈夫高羽悟在職場上相識
04:37
經過一段時間的交往後步入婚姻殿堂
04:40
婚後
04:44
他辭去工作成為全職家庭主婦
04:45
將全部精力
04:48
都投入家庭和撫養兒子杭平身上
04:49
他的生活圈子不大
04:52
主要來往的
04:54
都是一些同樣身為母親的朋友
04:55
以及社區的鄰居
04:57
警方對奈美子的社會關係
04:59
進行了極為詳盡的調查
05:02
他們拜訪了她的親人朋友舊同事鄰居
05:04
試圖找出任何可能的矛盾或糾紛
05:08
然而所有人都表示
05:12
奈美子是個與世無爭的人
05:14
從未聽說她與任何人結怨
05:16
他不參與任何複雜的金錢往來
05:18
也沒有情感上的糾葛
05:21
在整理遺物時
05:23
高羽悟發現了一本奈美子的日記
05:24
日記中記錄他對未來的憧憬
05:27
其中最重要的一項
05:30
就是為杭平再添一個弟弟或妹妹
05:32
她和丈夫
05:35
已經開始為第二個孩子做準備
05:36
這個小小的願望隨著她的離去
05:38
成為了永遠的遺憾
05:40
案件的惡劣性質
05:42
震驚了整個名古屋地區
05:44
愛知縣警察總部迅速成立了特別搜查
05:46
本部由搜索一課的精銳力量主導
05:49
西警察署全力配合
05:52
調查工作從以下幾個核心方向展開
05:55
現場留下的b型血跡是案件的突破口
05:59
警方採集了所有奈美子認識的人的
06:02
DNA樣本進行比對
06:04
包括親友鄰居等數百人
06:06
但無一匹配
06:10
調查範圍隨後擴大到
06:11
有犯罪前科的人員
06:13
以及所有與高羽家有交集的人
06:15
例如快遞員水電維修工等
06:17
這項排查工作規模龐大
06:20
耗時數年
06:22
但滴B型血的主人始終未能找到
06:23
警方在案發公寓大樓的居民中
06:26
進行訪視時
06:29
獲得了一條至關重要的目擊證詞
06:30
一位住在高羽家斜對面的鄰居稱
06:33
案發當天下午1:50左右
06:36
他出門時
06:38
看到一個形跡可疑的女性
06:39
從高羽家的方向走出來
06:41
這位鄰居描述
06:44
該名女性大約40多歲
06:45
身高約160厘米
06:47
體型中等偏胖
06:49
他留著燙過的捲髮
06:51
穿著一件米色的外套
06:52
特別引人注意的是
06:54
他右手的手背上似乎有傷
06:56
用左手按著
06:58
神情顯得慌張
06:59
與鄰居對視時眼神閃
07:01
隨後匆匆下樓離開
07:03
這個目擊訊息非常具體
07:05
警方據此製作了模擬畫像
07:07
在全國範圍內進行發布
07:10
希望能找到這位女性
07:12
他被認為是本案的第一嫌疑人
07:14
然而儘管畫像四處張貼
07:16
媒體也進行了廣泛報道
07:19
但這位女性的身份始終無人能夠提供
07:21
根據一位鄰居的證言
07:24
在案發時段
07:26
公寓樓下停著一輛淺藍色的
07:27
日產天際線系列汽車
07:30
警方對該時間段內
07:32
出現在案發地週邊道路的
07:34
所有同款車型
07:36
進行了排查
07:37
調查人員核對了數千輛汽車的訊息
07:38
聯繫了大量車主
07:41
但最終也未能發現
07:43
與案件有直接關聯的車輛
07:44
在物證和目擊線索追踪
07:47
進展不順的情況下
07:48
搜查本部將重心再放回
07:50
高羽夫婦人際關係網的深度挖掘上
07:53
調查人員不放過任何一個細節
07:56
他們詳細梳理了高羽悟和高羽奈美子
07:58
從學生時代到案發前所有的社會關係
08:01
高宇悟的社會關係作為公司職員
08:04
高宇悟的社會關係相對廣泛
08:07
警方調查了他的同事上司客戶
08:10
以及學生時代的朋友
08:13
高羽悟為人正直工作勤奮
08:15
未發現與人有任何
08:18
足以引發殺機的矛盾
08:19
高羽奈美子的社會關係如前所述
08:21
奈美子的關係網相對簡單
08:24
警方甚至調查了
08:27
她參加的育兒社團裡的每位母親
08:28
以及她常去的超市的店員
08:31
結果一無所獲
08:33
調查陷入了僵局
08:35
時間一天天過去
08:36
媒體的熱度逐漸消退
08:39
但對於高羽悟和辦案警察來說
08:41
這個案件是一塊永遠壓在心頭的巨石
08:43
案件發生後
08:48
高羽悟做出了一個
08:49
讓所有人都感到震驚的決定
08:50
他要繼續租下案發的這間公寓
08:53
並且保持房間內的一切原樣
08:55
他帶著兒子杭平搬回了父母家
08:58
但每個月
09:00
他都準時向房東支付稻生公寓
09:01
201號房的租金
09:04
一個月6萬日圓
09:05
約400美元
09:07
他幾乎每個週末
09:08
都會回到這個曾經的家
09:10
打掃
09:11
整理奈美子的遺物
09:13
給妻子的佛龕上香
09:14
他這麼做有兩個原因
09:16
第一
09:19
他希望為警方保留最原始的現場
09:19
他相信隨著未來科技的發展
09:23
也許有一天
09:25
能從現場的某個角落發現新的線索
09:26
第二這裡是他和妻子
09:30
以及兒子共同生活過的地方
09:32
他覺得如果放棄了這裡
09:34
就等於切斷了與妻子最後的聯繫
09:36
他要為妻子守住這個家
09:39
直到兇手被繩之以法
09:41
這一守就是26年
09:43
在這漫長的歲月裡
09:45
高羽悟從未停止為妻子追兇的腳步
09:47
他自己印製了數萬份傳單
09:51
上面印著案件的訊息
09:53
和嫌疑人的模擬畫像
09:55
每個週末
09:57
他都會站在名古屋市
09:58
人潮最密集的車站前
09:59
向過往的行人發傳單鞠躬
10:01
懇求他們提供線索
10:03
2010年 日本修改了刑事訴訟法
10:06
廢除了對殺人等惡性犯罪的公訴時效
10:09
在此之前
10:12
殺人案的公訴時效是15年
10:13
後延長至25年
10:16
如果不是這項法律的修改
10:18
高宇奈美子案
10:20
將在2024年11月13日超過追訴時效
10:21
成為法律意義上永遠無法追究的懸案
10:25
2010年4月27日
10:28
這項修改
10:30
給了高羽悟
10:31
和所有懸案受害者家屬新的希望
10:32
26年來
10:35
高羽悟為保留案發現場所所支付的租金
10:36
水電和維護費用
10:40
累計超過了2,200萬日元
10:41
約15萬美元
10:44
這筆沉重的經濟負擔
10:45
他從未有過一絲猶豫
10:47
他的執著感動了無數人
10:49
也讓愛知縣警方始終沒有放棄
10:52
對這起案件的調查
10:54
儘管案件沒有新的進展
10:56
但愛知縣警方
10:58
每年都會在案件紀念日臨近時
10:59
重新組織警力
11:02
在案發地週邊和名古屋市中心
11:03
分發傳單
11:05
呼籲市民提供資訊
11:07
搜索本部雖然編制有所縮減
11:09
但從未解散
11:11
一代代刑警接手了這個案件的捲宗
11:13
他們熟悉案情的每一個細節
11:16
將破案的希望寄託在未來的某一天
11:18
進入21世紀第二個十年後
11:22
DNA鑑定技術取得了飛躍性的發展
11:24
過去需要大量樣本才能進行的分析
11:27
現在只需要微量的細胞就能完成
11:30
同時DNA資料庫的建置也日趨完善
11:33
使得警方能夠進行更有效率的比對
11:37
2020年代初期
11:40
艾知縣警方面對這起塵封已久的懸案
11:42
決定利用最新的技術
11:45
對當年現場保留的證據進行重新檢驗
11:47
他們將希望寄託在了那滴B型血跡上
11:50
鑑識人員小心翼翼的
11:54
從保存了20多年的證物上
11:56
再次提取了那滴B型血的樣本
11:58
利用最新的分析技術
12:01
他們成功建構了一個清晰
12:02
完整的DNA圖譜
12:05
這DNA圖譜
12:07
首先被輸入
12:09
日本警察廳
12:10
的全國犯罪人員DNA資料庫
12:11
進行比對
12:13
但結果是沒有匹配項
12:14
這意味著
12:16
留下血跡的兇手
12:17
很可能是一個
12:18
沒有任何犯罪前科的普通人
12:20
這個結果雖然令人失望
12:22
但也為調查指明了新的方向
12:24
兇手就在一般人群之中
12:26
搜查本部決定
12:29
將調查的網
12:31
再次撒向高羽夫婦的人際關係圈
12:32
警方制定了一個龐大的檢查計劃
12:35
他們重新整理了高宇宥和高宇奈
12:38
美子的所有社會關係
12:40
特別是那些在案發後
12:42
因各種原因未能提供DNA樣本的人
12:44
調查的重點放在了與高宇佳有過接觸
12:47
且血型為b型的女性身上
12:51
這項工作是秘密進行的
12:54
調查人員以各種理由
12:56
例如進行地區性的健康調查
12:58
或人口資訊更新
13:00
來接觸目標族群
13:02
並設法獲取他們的DNA信息
13:03
例如透過他們丟棄的煙頭水瓶等物品
13:06
時間來到2025年
13:10
在對高羽悟學生時代的同學名錄
13:12
進行重新梳理時
13:14
一個名字進入了警方的視野
13:16
安福九梅子女
13:19
現年69歲
13:20
居住在名古屋市港區
13:22
他是高羽悟的高中同班同學
13:24
在當年的調查紀錄中
13:27
他作為數百名同學之一
13:29
曾接受警方的簡單問詢
13:31
但並未被列為重點懷疑對象
13:33
警方發現安福九梅子
13:36
的血型是b型
13:38
更重要的是
13:40
在2025年警方的一次非正式接觸中
13:41
當調查人員提出
13:44
希望他能協助一項調查
13:45
提供DNA樣本時
13:48
安福九梅子展現了超乎尋常的緊張
13:50
並以身體不適為由斷然拒絕
13:53
他的反常行為
13:56
讓警方對他的懷疑陡峭升級
13:57
在接下來的幾個月裡
14:00
調查人員對安福九梅子
14:02
進行了秘密監控
14:04
並多次上門與他溝通
14:05
對他施加心理壓力
14:07
終於在2025年10月
14:09
安福九梅子不堪負荷
14:11
同意了警方的要求
14:13
提供了自己的口腔試片樣本
14:15
檢體立刻被送往科學搜查研究所
14:18
進行加急鑑定
14:20
然而就在鑑定結果出來的前一天
14:22
2025年10月30日
14:25
一件出乎所有警察意料的事發生了
14:27
安福久美子獨自一人
14:30
走進了名古屋市港區的一家警察署
14:32
向值班警察說
14:35
關於1999年西區主婦被殺的案子
14:36
我想說一些事情
14:39
在審訊室裡
14:41
安福九梅子
14:42
對殺害高雨奈梅子的犯罪事實
14:43
供認不諱
14:46
第二天也就是2025年10月31日
14:47
DNA鑑定結果正式出爐
14:50
安福九梅子的DNA
14:53
與1999年11月13日案發現場
14:55
留下來的那滴b型血的DNA
14:58
完全一致
15:00
鐵證如山
15:02
愛知縣警方正式宣布
15:03
以殺人嫌疑逮捕安福久美子
15:05
這起困擾了日本社會26年的懸案
15:08
宣告偵破
15:11
安福久美子被捕的消息
15:12
對於高宇霧來說
15:14
如同一道晴天霹靂
15:16
在他的記憶中
15:18
安福久美子
15:19
只是高中時期
15:20
一個不起眼的同班女同學
15:21
兩人甚至沒有過多的交談
15:24
他完全無法理解
15:26
這個幾乎已經被他遺忘的人
15:27
為何會以如此殘忍的方式
15:30
奪走他妻子的生命
15:32
在安福久美子的供述
15:34
和警方的深入調查下
15:36
一個因常年扭曲的單相思
15:38
而引發的悲劇
15:40
浮現了水面
15:41
時間回到1970年代
15:42
在高中時期
15:45
高羽悟是班上一個陽光開朗
15:46
受女生歡迎的男孩
15:49
而安福久美子個性內向相貌平平
15:50
是一個在人群中不會被注意到的女孩
15:54
他從那時起就開始默默的暗戀高雨霧
15:57
他曾經鼓起勇氣
16:01
在情人節送巧克力向高雨霧告白
16:02
然而對當時頗受歡迎的高雨霧而言
16:05
這不過是眾多示好中的一次
16:08
他禮貌的拒絕了
16:11
卻未放在心上
16:13
甚至很可能不久後
16:14
便忘了這個女孩的名字和模樣
16:15
高中畢業後
16:18
兩人的人生再無交集
16:19
高宇物升學工作戀愛結婚
16:21
組成了幸福的家庭
16:25
而安福九美子的人生則相對平淡
16:27
她結了婚
16:30
但生活不如意
16:31
1999年 安福九美子透過某種方式
16:32
或許是同學間的閒聊
16:36
或許是查閱舊的通訊錄
16:38
得知了高羽屋的近況
16:40
他了解到他事業順利家庭美滿
16:42
妻子溫柔賢惠
16:45
還有一個可愛的兒子
16:46
這個消息

埋藏了20多年的嫉妒之火
16:50
在他看來
16:53
那個曾經他所仰慕的完美的男人
16:54
本應屬於自己
16:57
他將自己人生的不如意
16:58
歸咎於命運的不公
17:00
繼而將這種怨恨
17:01
投射到了

17:19
善良的奈美子

然而在交談中
17:25
安福久美子看到這個家庭的溫馨
17:27
看到奈美子臉上幸福的笑容
17:30
他內心的嫉妒和怨恨達到了頂點

兩人發生了爭執

奈美子根本不會遭遇這樣的悲劇
18:42
對於高羽悟來說
18:45
真相是殘酷的
18:46
殺害妻子的兇手
18:48
竟然源自於自己
18:50
一段早已遺忘的學生時代的過往
18:51
這種罪惡感或許將伴隨他的餘生
18:54
案件的偵破
18:57
也讓已經長大成人的兒子杭平

Lyrics & Translation
[English]
In
an ordinary apartment building in Nishi-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
There is a light in one room that has been on for 26 years
almost every night
This light is not for illumination
but for the promise of a husband
The silent waiting of an unsolved case
Back to November 13, 1999
A calm Saturday afternoon
The tranquility of this room was forever broken
Housewife Takaha Namiko
was brutally murdered here
Next to her two-year-old son
There were very few clues left at the scene of the case
The murderer disappeared
Leaving behind a broken family
and a mystery that has troubled the police for a quarter of a century
In the long suffering of nearly 10,000 days and nights
everyone thought that the truth would be lost forever
By October 2025
The case finally had a breakthrough
Hello everyone, my little
Welcome to 24 Detective
Saturday, November 13, 1999
Japan
is in the long depression after the burst of the economic bubble.
But for an ordinary family in Nagoya City Nishi-ku
Michiocho 5-chome
This should have been a weekend full of life
The male owner, Takaha Satoru, was 43 years old
was an ordinary office worker
The hostess, Takaha Namiko, was also 32 years old
was a full-time housewife
The focus of their lives
It is the two-year-old son Takaha Kohei
This family of three
lives in Room 201 of Daosheng Apartment
This is a typical Japanese apartment
The area is not large
But it is warm enough for this small family
In the morning
Takaha Satoru went to work as usual
Namiko was doing activities at home with her son Hanghei
According to the testimony of the neighbor
In the morning period
I could still hear the laughter of mother and son playing in Room 201
...
Everything seemed so normal
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon
The landlord of this apartment came to visit
He planned to send some freshly picked persimmons to the Takaba family
When he arrived in front of Room 201
He noticed that the door was not locked
He called Takaha Namiko's name
but there was no response in the room
Out of worry
he pushed the door and entered the room
In the Japanese room connected to the living room
He saw a scene that horrified him
Takaha Namiko fell in a pool of blood
There was no sign of life
Beside Namiko
her son Hang was sitting safe and sound
He did not cry
He just looked at his mother who fell on the ground quietly
The landlord immediately withdrew in extreme panic
and dialed the alarm number
Gao Yuwu who was working
only learned the bad news after receiving a notification from the police
He rushed home urgently
Facing the home that has been cordoned off
and everything broken
The police officers from the Aichi Prefecture Nishi Police Station
were the first to arrive at the scene
Then the criminal police and investigators
also arrived one after another
responsible for the serious case search lesson
A yellow cordon was pulled up under the apartment building
The on-site investigation work was carried out meticulously and nervously
The preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor is
Takaha Namiko's death
The time was approximately between 1:00 and 2:00 pm
The fatal injury was a stab wound to the neck
The murder weapon was a sharp knife
But no murder weapon was found at the scene
Judging from the shape of the wound
The murderer was very vicious
With a strong killing intent
Namiko's hands and arms
had some minor scratches
which are considered to be defensive wounds
left when he tried to resist at the last moment
The doors and windows of the apartment were intact
without any signs of being pried
The entrance door was not locked
This indicates that the murderer probably entered the room through normal means
...
One possibility is that Namiko opened the door for the visitor
This person is someone he knows
Another possibility is that
the murderer used some excuse to trick him into opening the door
There is no sign of large-scale rummaging in the room
Namiko's wallet and valuables in the home
are also in place
This basically excludes the purpose of making money
Housebreaking and murder
The most critical physical evidence
in the entire case is a blood stain found at the scene
that does not belong to the victim or his family
After testing
The blood type of this blood stain is type b
And Namiko is type O
Neither husband Gao Yuwu nor son Hangping are type b
This drop of blood was probably left by the murderer
who was injured during the murder
This became the only way for the police to identify the murderer.
is also the most important physical evidence
Takaha Namiko
was born in an ordinary Japanese family
She has a quiet personality
is not good at words
but is kind at heart
always smiles at the people around her
In the eyes of friends and family
she is a typical good wife and mother
lives a simple and
She met her husband Gao Yuwu in the workplace
After a period of dating, they entered into marriage
After marriage
He quit his job and became a full-time housewife
Put all his energy
into family and raising his son Hang Ping
His living circle is not large
The main people he interacts with
are some friends who are also mothers
and neighbors in the community
The police conducted an extremely detailed investigation into Namiko's social relationships
...
They visited her relatives, friends, old colleagues and neighbors
to try to find out any possible contradictions or disputes
However, everyone said
Namiko is a person who lives aloof from the world
Never heard of her having a grudge with anyone
He is not involved in any complicated money transactions
There is no emotional entanglement
When sorting out the relics
Gao Yuwu found a diary of Namiko
The diary records his vision for the future
The most important one
is to give Hangping another younger brother or sister
She and her husband
have begun to prepare for their second child
This small wish followed her departure
It became an eternal regret
The egregious nature of the case
shocked the entire Nagoya area
The Aichi Prefectural Police Headquarters quickly established a special investigation
This department was led by the elite search force of the First Search Section
The Nishi Police Department fully cooperated
The investigation work was carried out from the following core directions
The B-type blood stain left at the scene was the breakthrough in the case
The police collected
DNA samples from all the people Namiko knew for comparison
including hundreds of relatives, friends and neighbors
but no one matched
The scope of the investigation was later expanded to
people with criminal records
and all people who interacted with the Takaba family
such as couriers, water and electricity maintenance workers, etc.
This investigation work was large-scale and took several years.
...
But the owner of the B-type blood drop has never been found
When the police
interviewed the residents of the apartment building where the crime occurred,
they obtained a crucial witness statement
A neighbor who lived diagonally across from Gao Yu's house said
around 1:50 pm on the day of the incident
When he went out,
he saw a suspicious-looking woman
walking out from the direction of Gao Yu's house.
This neighbor's description
The woman is about 40 years old
Height is about 160 centimeters
Medium to fat
He has permed curly hair
Wearing a beige coat
What is particularly noticeable is
There seems to be an injury on the back of his right hand
He presses it with his left hand
He looks panicked
His eyes flashed when he looked at the neighbor
Then he hurriedly went downstairs to leave
This witness message was very specific
The police made a mock portrait
and released it nationwide
hoping to find the woman
He was considered the first suspect in the case
However, although the portrait was posted everywhere
and the media also reported extensively
no one could provide the identity of this woman.
According to a neighbor's testimony
During the time of the crime
there was a light blue
Nissan Skyline series car parked under the apartment building
The police conducted an investigation on all
...
of the same model
that appeared on the roads around the crime scene during
Investigators checked the information of thousands of cars
and contacted a large number of car owners
But in the end,
the vehicle directly related to the case was not found
In the case of poor progress in tracking the physical evidence and witness clues
...
The search headquarters returned the focus to
The in-depth exploration of the interpersonal network of the Takaha couple
The investigators did not miss any detail
They sorted out Takaha Satoru and Takaha Namiko in detail
All social relationships from his student days to before the crime
Gao Yuwu's social relationships As a company employee
Gao Yuwu's social relationships are relatively extensive
The police investigated his colleagues, bosses, clients
and friends from his student days
Gao Yuwu is an upright and hard-working person
and has not found any
conflicts with others that could lead to murder
Takaba Namiko's social relationships are as mentioned above
Namiko's relationship network is relatively simple
The police even investigated
every mother in the childcare club she participated in
and the clerk at the supermarket she frequented
The result was nothing
The investigation reached a deadlock
Time passed by
The media enthusiasm gradually subsided
But for Gao Yuwu and the police investigating the case
this case is a huge stone that will always weigh on their hearts
After the case
Gao Yuwu made a
decision that shocked everyone
He will continue to rent the apartment where the crime occurred
and keep everything in the room as it is
He moved back to his parents' house with his son Hangping
But every month
he paid the rent of Inao Apartment
Room 201 to the landlord on time
60,000 yen a month
about 400 US dollars
He would return to this former home almost every weekend
...
Clean
Organize Namiko's belongings
Add incense to his wife's Buddhist altar
He did this for two reasons
First
He hopes to preserve the most original scene for the police
He believes that with the development of future technology
Maybe one day
new clues can be found from a corner of the scene
Secondly, this is the place where he, his wife
and son lived together
He feels that if he gives up here
it will be equivalent to cutting off the last connection with his wife
He wants to guard this home for his wife
until the murderer is brought to justice
This defense lasts for 26 years
During these long years
Gao Yuwu has never stopped chasing the murderer for his wife
He has printed tens of thousands of leaflets
with information about the case printed on them
and simulated portraits of the suspects
Every weekend
He will stand in Nagoya City
In front of the most crowded station
Bow to hand out flyers to passers-by
Begging them to provide clues
In 2010, Japan revised the Criminal Procedure Law
Abolition of the statute of limitations for prosecution of vicious crimes such as homicide
Prior to this
The statute of limitations for prosecution of homicide cases was 15 years
Later extended to 25 years
If it were not for this modification of the law
the case of Takayu Namiko
would have exceeded the statute of limitations on November 13, 2024
and become an unsolved case that can never be pursued in a legal sense
April 27, 2010
This amendment
has given new hope to Takaha Satoru
and all the families of the victims of unsolved cases
in the past 26 years
The rent paid by Gao Yugo to retain the place where the crime was found
Water, electricity and maintenance costs
totaled more than 22 million yen
about 150,000 US dollars
This heavy financial burden
He never hesitated
His persistence touched countless people
and the Aichi Prefecture police never gave up
The investigation of this case
Although there is no new progress in the case
, the Aichi Prefecture Police
will reorganize the police force every year as the anniversary of the case approaches
...
Distribute leaflets
around the crime scene and in the center of Nagoya
Call on citizens to provide information
Although the establishment of the search headquarters has been reduced
, it has never been disbanded
Generations of criminal police officers have taken over the files of this case
They are familiar with every detail of the case
Pinning their hopes of solving the case one day in the future
After entering the second decade of the 21st century
DNA identification technology has made rapid development
Analysis that used to require a large number of samples
Now only requires a trace amount of cells to complete
At the same time, the establishment of DNA databases is also becoming increasingly complete
allowing the police to conduct more efficient comparisons
Early 2020s
Faced with this long-standing cold case
they decided to use the latest technology
to re-examine the evidence preserved at the scene
They pinned their hopes on the drop of type B blood
The forensic officers carefully
extracted the sample of the drop of type B blood from the evidence that had been preserved for more than 20 years
...
Using the latest analysis technology
they successfully constructed a clear
complete DNA profile
This DNA profile
was first entered into the
Japan Police Agency
's national criminal DNA database
for comparison
but the result was no match
This means
the murderer who left blood stains
It is very likely that he is an ordinary person
without any criminal record.
Although this result is disappointing
, it also points out a new direction for the investigation.
The murderer is among the general population. They reorganized all the social relationships of Gao Yuyou and Gao Yuna
...
...
...
...
...
Meiko
Especially those who
failed to provide DNA samples for various reasons after the incident
The focus of the investigation was on women who had contact with Gao Yujia
and whose blood type is b type
This work is carried out in secret
Investigators use various reasons
such as conducting regional health surveys
or population information updates
to contact the target group
and try to obtain their DNA information
For example, through their discarded cigarette butts, water bottles and other items
The time comes to 2025
When reorganizing the list of classmates of Gao Yuwu's student days
...
A name came into the police's sight
Children of Anfu Jiumei
Now 69 years old
Living in Minato-ku, Nagoya City
He is a high school classmate of Gao Yuwu
In the investigation records of the year
He was one of hundreds of classmates
who accepted a brief interview from the police
but was not listed as a key suspect
The police discovered that Anfu Jiumeizi
's blood type is type b
More importantly,
in an informal contact with the police in 2025
When investigators asked
to help an investigation
provide DNA samples
Anfu Jiumeizi showed unusual nervousness
and flatly refused
on the grounds of physical discomfort. His abnormal behavior
caused the police's suspicion of him to escalate
In the following months
investigators secretly monitored Anfu Jiumeizi
...
and came to communicate with him many times
to exert psychological pressure on him
Finally in October 2025
Anfu Jiumeizi was overwhelmed
and agreed to the police's request
Provided his own oral test strip sample
The specimen was immediately sent to the Scientific Research Institute
for expedited identification
However, just the day before the identification results came out
October 30, 2025
Something that surprised all the police happened
Kumiko Yasufuku walked into a police station in Minato District, Nagoya City alone
...
Tell the police on duty
About the case of the murder of a housewife in the West District in 1999
I want to say something
In the interrogation room
Anfu Jiumeiko
Confessed to the crime of killing Takaameko Takaameko
...
The next day, October 31, 2025
The DNA test results were officially released
Kumiko Anfuku's DNA
is completely consistent with the DNA of the drop of type b blood
...
left at the crime scene on November 13, 1999
Ironclad evidence
Aichi Prefecture police officially announced
the arrest of Kumiko Anfuku on suspicion of murder
This unsolved case has troubled Japanese society for 26 years
Announcement of detection
The news of Kumiko Yasufuku's arrest
For Gao Yuwu
it was like a bolt from the blue
In his memory
Kumiko Yasufuku
was just an inconspicuous female classmate in high school
The two did not even talk much
...
He could not understand it at all
Why did this person who had almost been forgotten by him
take away his wife's life in such a cruel way
...
With Kumiko Yasuka's confession
and the in-depth investigation of the police
A tragedy caused by years of twisted unrequited love
...
emerged
Time goes back to the 1970s
In high school
Gao Yuwu is a sunny and cheerful
popular boy among girls
while Anfu Kumiko is introverted and plain-looking
a girl who will not be noticed in the crowd
From then on, he began to secretly have a crush on Gao Yuwu
He once mustered up the courage to send chocolates to Gao Yuwu on Valentine's Day to confess to Gao Yuwu
...
However, for Gao Yuwu, who was quite popular at the time
This was just one of many overtures
He politely refused
but did not take it seriously
It is even possible that
soon forgot the girl's name and appearance
After graduating from high school
The two people's lives never intersected again
Gao Yuwu went to school, worked, fell in love and got married
and formed a happy family
Kumiko Anfu's life was relatively dull
She was married
but her life was not what she wanted
In 1999, Kumiko Anfu learned through some way
Maybe it was chatting among classmates
Maybe it was checking old address books
He learned about the current situation of Takahaya
He learned that he had a successful career and a happy family
His wife is gentle and virtuous
and has a lovely son
This news
ignited the fire of jealousy in his heart
that had been buried for more than 20 years
In his view
the perfect man he once admired
should have been his
He blamed the unsatisfactory life
on the injustice of fate
Then he projected this resentment
onto
the woman who had everything he dreamed of
Namiko Takaame
November 13, 1999
The extremely stunned Kumiko Yasufuku
After finding out the address of Takaba's family,
went to Daosheng Apartment
As an old classmate who was above everything else, he tricked Namiko into opening the door
...
Kind-hearted Namiko
warmly received her husband's classmate
However, during the conversation
Anfu Kumiko saw the warmth of this family
and saw the happy smile on Namiko's face
The jealousy and resentment in his heart reached its peak
The two had a dispute
Anfu Kumiko took out a prepared knife from the bag she carried
...
and stabbed Namiko
While Namiko struggled to resist
Anfu Kumiko's hand was also scratched
The DB blood type was left at the scene
After the murder
Anfu Kumiko fell into a huge panic
He did not take any property
He fled the scene in a hurry
Downstairs he met his neighbor who was going out
Leaving behind the key witness testimony
He drove away in a hurry
From then on, he began a 26-year life of
hiding in the shadows
The news of the detection of the case came
Japanese society was shocked
While people lamented that justice was finally done
they were also moved by Gao Yuwu's persistence for 26 years
Gao Yuwu had a complicated expression when being interviewed by the media
He first mentioned that in the past 26 years
Aichi Prefecture police have persisted in pursuing the case
He was deeply grateful for this
When he mentioned that the murderer turned out to be his high school classmate
he lost control
tears fell
He kept blaming himself
thinking that if it were not for himself
Namiko would never have suffered such a tragedy
For Gao Yu Satoru
The truth is cruel
The murderer of his wife
actually originated from his
long-forgotten student past
This sense of guilt may accompany him for the rest of his life
The detection of the case
also allowed his grown-up son Hang Ping
to understand the truth about his mother's death
For this person at the scene of the crime
But for young people who have no memory of the scene at that time
This is an answer that is 26 years late
The murder case of Takaha Namiko
finally ended in a way that no one
expected
...
It is not only the detection of a vicious criminal case
but also a complex story about human nature
Obsessed with time and technology
Autumn of 2025
The lights in Room 201 of Inao Apartment in Nishi-ku, Nagoya City
can finally be extinguished
Because justice that has been delayed for 26 years has arrived
However, for the living
painful memories may never be truly erased
Thank you for watching this case
If you have any thoughts

See you next time
