Chapter 9 searching eye

1 The station attendant was talking about this strange incident, when a criminal policeman came over, he immediately turned his face and asked: What happened?Eyes glowed behind wide-rimmed black glasses. The station attendant smiled and explained: A group of group tourists from other places arrived in Tokyo. Someone fell ill and wanted to return to Gifu, so the patient was carried into the car on a stretcher.We contacted Gifu Station and asked them to help take care of it.Just now Gifu Station called and said that the patient did not get off the train.We're talking about it. Didn't get off?How is this going?The detective took out the half of the cigarette he had saved and started smoking.

Probably got off at another station halfway.This group of passengers all wore armbands, but Gifu Station said they did not see them getting off the train.At first they came with a representative, saying that there was a sick person, and they asked us to make an appointment.We specially notified Gifu Station to take care of them. Unexpectedly, these foreigners wandered leisurely and did not know where to get off. snort.What group? It seems that the monks in the temple have saved a sum of travel expenses in the form of mutual aid funds, and come to Tokyo for sightseeing. Ah, country folks do things like that.My hometown is in Saga, Kyushu, and this kind of thing often happens.Those old farmers have accumulated money for a year and a half, and then play it to their heart's content.

The myopic detective said this with nostalgic meaning.Perhaps because the thoughts of his hometown distracted his attention, he did not pursue it any further.As a result, the work of solving the case was delayed for two days, this is a later story. The detection team concluded that the murderer in the Shinjuku case was related to the disappearance of lawyer Senuma.So now it's a two-pronged approach, hitting at the same time. The clues they have so far only know that the murderer is Kazuo Yamamoto, the bartender at the Red House Bar, and there is no further progress.At the beginning, the detection team was very optimistic, thinking that knowing the criminal's name would be easy, but finding out the criminal's origin is not easy!

Junko Meijing, the female shopkeeper of the Red House Bar, admitted that Yamamoto was introduced by the broker Ono Shinichiro.Ono is a playboy who specializes in fooling around in bars in Ginza and Shinjuku, introducing waitresses and bartenders on his behalf, and collecting some commissions from them. Ono was originally a dance teacher, thirty-two years old this year.Making a living as a broker these days looks like a down and out.His face was pale and his expression was wretched.When interrogated by the police, he responded as follows: I met Yamamoto more than a year ago. He said his hometown is in Yamagata Prefecture, but I don't know much about it.Anyway, I met while drinking at a bar in Ginza.Once, he said that he had worked as a bartender before, and he discussed with me to find a job.It just so happened that the Red House Bar asked me to find a bartender.I introduced him.What he did for a living, I have no idea.Our friendship is nothing more than drinking buddies in a bar.I don't know whether Yamamoto is his real name or not.

Bartenders, like waitresses, are very mobile, moving from bar to bar.Therefore, it is not surprising that Meijing Junzi, the female shopkeeper of the Red Mansion Bar, said that she did not know where Yamamoto lived or his private life. I heard that he lives near Meguro Yutenji Temple.Umei Junko's words are also unreliable. The police searched the area around Youtian Temple thoroughly, but still could not find his residence. Yamamoto works very hard in the store, and he doesn't have many friends.At most, his hobby is betting on horse races, and he doesn't seem to have much interest in women.

The confession of the female shopkeeper, the implication is nothing more than that Yamamoto is a law-abiding person, and it is impossible to imagine that he will kill someone. So far, the detection team has run aground while looking for Yamamoto's origin. After Yamamoto shot Tianmaru Toshiichi in a hotel in Shinjuku, he absconded and went missing.The criminal policemen searched everywhere, but still did not get any definite clues, and the detection team was unavoidably a little anxious.For this reason, the focus of the investigation is on the kidnapping of lawyer Senuma.I think that after finding out the case, Yamamoto's clues are naturally clear.

First of all, Lawyer Senuma was entrusted to investigate a certain case, and Tian Maru, who had worked as a criminal policeman in the firm, was in charge of the secret investigation; and the murderer who killed Tian Maru must be someone related to a certain case. Secondly, Tian Maru was shot and killed by accident, and the lawyer was kidnapped because of this. They were afraid that the lawyer would confess to the authorities.Judging from the modus operandi, this group of murderers can be described as a large number. As for what case Lawyer Senuma was investigating, the police asked the staff of the firm, but no one knew, and the lawyer did not reveal anything.So the member said:

When the husband handles some extremely confidential cases, he never tells us.Tian Maru used to work as a criminal policeman in the police station, but the husband just poached him.Because he has a special ability and is good at doing secret investigations. Whenever there is such a thing, the husband often entrusts him to do it. In order to find out the inside story of the case handled by Senuma, the detection team tried every means, but they had no clue.The lawyer did not leave any documents. He wrote down all confidential matters in a large notepad and carried it with him. The notebook also disappeared with the lawyer's disappearance.

At the end of the day, there is no other way to go than to find a lawyer as soon as possible. The focus of the investigation was to find out where the lawyer was kidnapped, but there were no clues at all.According to witnesses who were standing nearby at the time, the car that escorted the lawyer was a large sedan.Judging from this, the car is either a self-owned car or a chartered car, and it cannot be a taxi for business on the street.However, the observations of the witnesses may not be accurate, especially when things happened at night, it is not impossible to mistake medium-sized objects for large ones.Needless to say, the detection team checked all the car companies in the city, but still had no clue.There was no report of seeing the car passing that night, nor any reliable clues.

There are two theories about where the abduction went.One said it was detained somewhere in Tokyo, and the other said it was taken to other prefectures.At first, the theory of the city was very powerful, but as time went on, the theory of the outside began to prevail again. Lawyer Senuma's appearance is generally known.The detection team printed 30,000 copies of the lawyer's photos and distributed them all over the country.On the other hand, there are also many plainclothes police officers stationed at Tokyo, Ueno, Shinjuku, and Shinagawa train stations.It is estimated that the criminals moved to other places after lurking in Tokyo for a while.

Although the investigation in Tokyo was on the verge of despair several times, the detection team did not give up their efforts.In recent years, the practice of inspecting household registration in the jurisdiction of the police station has been abolished, which has also brought great inconvenience to the search.There are eight million people in Tokyo. Finding a missing person in the vast sea of ​​people is like finding a needle in a haystack.The detection team had to rely on tenacious perseverance to deal with this case. All railway stations are heavily guarded.At the ticket gates and other places, there are criminal policemen standing one by one, paying attention to every passenger. The detective who was on patrol at Tokyo Station returned to the detection team after a shift.When chatting with colleagues, it was two days later that I mentioned the group passenger patient. What?What did you say just now?Say it again!The person who came over to ask this question was an old detective sitting elsewhere. In a visiting group from other places, someone was sick and was carried onto the train on a stretcher.The short-sighted criminal police stared at the other party in a daze when he saw that the other party had a bad background. When did this happen? Well, two days ago, on the 28th. idiot!Why not report it sooner?The veteran criminal policeman scolded loudly. So I quickly called the Tokyo Station Passenger Transportation Department, and said that the patient was carried on a stretcher from the special channel for carrying small luggage to the elevator, and then went to the platform and was carried into the car.When the detection team learned of this situation, they couldn't help but get nervous.In particular, I heard that the group of passengers accompanying the patient did not get off at the destination Gifu Station, but disappeared without anyone noticing.This time the detection team was in a mess, feeling like they were caught in a trap. Is he wearing the Zhenyuanhui armband?I asked the Passenger Transportation Division on the phone again. They said it was organized by the Gifu Shinenkai, and they first sent a monk, a monk in his forties, to discuss with us about the patient.the station attendant replied. Since he is the representative of the group, he should write down his name and address, right? Did not remember.Because there are less than 30 of them, they are not treated as group passengers. Don't you know how many of them there are? I don't know the exact number, but they say twenty-three or four. So I got the flight attendant from that train again. The people wearing armbands are all strong men in their thirties.The patient lies on a loveseat with a blanket half covering his face.I remember like falling asleep.Sitting across from him were two people looking after him.For some unknown reason, after passing Odawara, all the armbands were taken off.All the way to Hamamatsu, they were still in the car.After the train drove in Owari Ichinomiya, I went to have a look, and the seats were full of ordinary passengers.That bus was extremely crowded, and people were filled as soon as there were vacant seats.The group of people did not know which stop they got off on the way.I paid close attention to the patient's affairs, but I didn't go to that carriage because I had other things to do. I found out from Gifu that there is no such temple as Shinenkai, either in the city or in the suburbs.He also said that he has not sent a tour group to Tokyo recently.This situation was also expected by the detection team. Based on this, the police judged that there were quite a lot of people who kidnapped Lawyer Senuma.There were as many as twenty-three or four people traveling together on the train alone, not to mention others. They pretended to be passengers of a local tour group, put lawyers to sleep, pretended to be patients, and took the small luggage passage instead of the ordinary ticket gates. The detection team investigated the stations along the way, how many people got off on the Xikai with Gifu tickets on the way on April 28th.The replies from each station were: three people got off at Shizuoka, two people from Hamamatsu, four people from Toyohashi, three people from Uruya, and five people from Nagoya.There are seventeen people in total, and there are still a few short.Tickets are not collected for those who get off halfway at the station. This can only be based on the memory of the station staff, and of course there will be discrepancies. According to this error, the detection team has two questions: 1. Is there really twenty-three or four people in the so-called group?The flight attendants did not know the exact number, although there must have been more than twenty. 2. Assuming that there are more than 20 people, except for the exact 17 people, at which station did the rest get off? As far as the latter guess is concerned, Nagoya is the most likely place to get off.Passengers who get off at this station are crowded and chaotic, and it is very easy to get out.Although there are five people in Nagoya reported back, it is estimated that the actual number of people getting off the bus may be more than these few people. Before arriving at Nagoya, there are Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Toyohashi, and Wagiya.Where do you get off?The chief of the first detective department came to the detection team, looked at the form, and said with a sullen face. It is estimated that they got off separately.After spreading out, getting off at the destination will not attract attention.The detection director said. No, I'm afraid not.The section chief retorted that the group was planning to return to Tokyo in the end.They took off their armbands beforehand and probably got off the bus in Nagoya at the same time.But most likely get off at the nearest stop to Tokyo.Despite its fragmentation, it will still attract attention on small stations.Therefore, it is really well-intentioned to take precautions before they happen. So, where did Lawyer Senuma, who was made to look like a patient, get out of the car? Nagoya.It is easy to hide in the crowd. However, carrying the stretcher Hey, you man, will you let him take a stretcher?I'm afraid the anesthetic was too strong, so there was a fight on both sides, and he was forced to walk away with his arms intertwined.As long as you can sneak out of Tokyo Station.Probably the lawyer was threatened and dared not say a word. So the stretcher is useless and should still be on the train. Yes, you can check it out.However, it may not be transported to the terminal Sasebo. The words of the section chief will be known in two days.It was reported that the stretcher was rolled up and thrown on the beach of Manazuru.Stretchers are a commonly used type and are sold everywhere.The detection team decided to investigate the manufacturer. The detection team did not expect that the case involved such a wide range, and was very surprised, and immediately sent three criminal policemen to Nagoya. What is the lawyer investigating?smuggling?Or drug trafficking? No, Lawyer Senuma specializes in dealing with companies.Unpredictable.Could it be that some company was robbed?The chief is thinking hard. At this time, the relevant personnel showed the simulated photo of the murderer Yamamoto to the section chief. Well, it's quite a talent.The section chief said, however, that there was nothing special about his appearance. That's right, the photos are based on the descriptions of the proprietress and waitresses in the Red House Bar.Because there are really no features, it is very laborious and delays a lot of time.Even so, some people say, not much. After hearing what he said, the section chief flicked the photo with his fingers, and said with his tongue: Where is this guy hiding now? 2 At nine o'clock, Tamura came to Longxiong's residence with a flushed face. hello, you didn't go out?Exudes the smell of alcohol. You are quite happy!Long Xiong said with a smile in his eyes. Happy ass!Tamura blurted out a word and sat down with a bang.The look on his face was indeed not very happy. What's wrong?Long Xiong asked. Argued with the deputy director. Arguing? Um.It's just a little louder.I was really angry, so I ran to drink a few cups, but I didn't feel relieved, so I came to you. Tamura undid the buttons to reveal his chest. Why are things noisy? He disagreed with my going to Nagoya.After begging for a long time, I was pushed back. For this matter!Long Xiong thought to himself.After hearing what the stewardess said, Tamura planned to go to various stations on the Chuo Line near Nagoya to investigate.Long Xiong recalled Tamura's exuberant expression at that time, and he could fully imagine how disappointed Tamura would be after being rejected by the deputy director. Oh, why? What a shit reason.He said that this kind of matter can be investigated by the Nagoya branch.Nonsense, there is no need to spend travel expenses, just go on this business trip.I asked, can the guys from the branch office be asked to handle such an important matter?So he said in a rambling manner that the agency has recently reduced its funds, and all non-urgent needs will suspend business trips and use the branch office as much as possible.He also said that this kind of investigation can't interview any news.I knew what he was thinking. He looked at me for a trip to the mountains and rivers.I couldn't help getting angry, and ran out with a few words.Ah, how discouraged!Tian Cun lay down on the mat, puffed his mouth, and sighed. Seeing this situation, Long Xiong knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to invite him to say: Hey, how about another drink? Okay, let's go, Tamura got up immediately, at this time, if you don't drink enough, you will feel unhappy.However, this does not delay your business, does it? Nothing, I don't want to go anywhere. Long Xiong stood up and put on his suit.There is no more friend than Tamura, and at a time like this, he should be with him for one night. The two arrived in Shinjuku and drank two or three hotels.Every time he drank a sip, Tamura would speak ill of the deputy director. There is no such ignorant fellow as him.It's ridiculous that such a person still wants to run a newspaper.As soon as he finished speaking, he added that sooner or later he would have to be surpassed by other newspapers, and he should be dumbfounded at that time.It's a fucking pity that the truth can be found out just by looking at it!Tamura shook his body, it was a pity. When he walked into the last hotel, Tamura was already very drunk. Hey Hagizaki!He put his arm around Long Xiong's shoulder and said, I can't go, you can go alone.I leave this to you. There was a tear in Tamura's voice. In fact, Long Xiong was also thinking about going to Nagoya. When I opened my eyes in the morning, the sun had already shone on my pillow.Although Long Xiong didn't have a capacity for alcohol, he drank with Tian Cun until past one o'clock last night.Therefore, at this moment, my head is still groggy and sleepy. The landlord's aunt always kept the newspaper of the day by his pillow, and Long Xiong habitually opened it.A message was posted on the social page, saying that Lawyer Senuma was still missing, and wrote three short paragraphs without much content.Long Xiong only looked at these three paragraphs of text. He lay down on the bed and lit a cigarette.This is also his habit.The strange thing is that at this moment, Long Xiong actually made up his mind. Well, let's take a trip to Nagoya. No need for Tamura to say it, Long Xiong knew in his heart that there was no other way.Things have come to this point, there is nothing to hesitate. When it comes to going to Nagoya, I always think that the journey is far away. In fact, this is an illusion that has been formed for a long time.Traveling outside of Tokyo is easy.It seems like a lot, and it’s nothing to put it bluntly. It’s only a six-hour journey by express train. Having made up his mind, Longxiong got up immediately, went to a nearby bookstore and bought two maps of Aichi and Gifu prefectures.Spread it out on the table, staring at Kozo-ji Temple, Tajimi, Tokitsu, and Mizunami.These stations are located at the end of the plain, connecting with the mountains of Meinong. However, in this strange place, how to proceed?When discussing with Tamura, although I had to stop by stop to ask the train station, but looking at the map, I still felt confused.How can you speak if you don't know anything about the situation?A long-faced man in his thirties, he has no features, doesn't know what clothes to wear, and can't provide any information.Didn't that Tanaka stewardess think for a while?Long Xiong seemed to see the station attendant smiling and shaking his head.The train arrived at Kozoji Temple at 22:54, Tajimi at 23:12, Tokitsu at 23:23, and Mizunami at 23:31.Not many people got off the train in the middle of the night, which is not satisfactory, but there is still hope; but did the station attendants pay attention to this person at that time?Moreover, things have changed, do you still remember?These are all precarious things. Long Xiong fell into deep thought.A cigarette was burned to ashes.Suddenly, he remembered that he wondered what happened to Uesaki Etsuko.No, or it would be more appropriate to say that she is still in Tokyo. After the incident, she was like a shadow, constantly covering Long Xiongzhi, which was helpless.Long Xiong tried his best to hide the matter of Uesaki Etsuko from Tamura.Long Xiong hoped that he would be the only one to inquire about her, to trace her life experience, and to cover up other people's eyes and ears.This kind of psychology is like falling into some kind of magic barrier. Long Xiong thought about it, and finally decided to go to the street and call Shanshan Commercial Bank. My surname is Hirayama. Is Ms. Uesaki Etsuko there? If the other party replied that they were, they planned to find an excuse to prevaricate. Miss Uesaki rests.The man who answered the phone answered. Just rest today?When do you come to work?Long Xiong had a premonition in his heart. I will be on vacation from today, and I will not come to work recently. When I heard about the vacation, my heart skipped a beat. Where are you going on leave? do not know.hello what do you want Long Xiong put down the phone without answering. Sure enough, I didn't go to work.There must be a reason! Instantaneous thinking, but also a lot of room for aftertaste.Long Xiong's thoughts were all in remembrance, the scenery on the street was far away from his vision, and he just walked subconsciously. I must not be in Tokyo anymore, I must have gone somewhere. In front of Long Xiong's eyes, the map of the central line seemed to appear again. Long Xiong called the newspaper office to find Tamura, intending to discuss with him about going to Nagoya, but unexpectedly, Tamura's voice seemed particularly excited on the phone. I was going to find you by car.Where are you at the moment? As soon as Long Xiong mentioned the name of a cafe in Shibuya District, he said hastily: OK, I'll come right away, you wait for me for a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour later, Tamura opened the door and came in, with a happy look on his face, which was quite different from last night.Seeing him sweating profusely and grinning, he knew that the situation had changed overnight. Have you been on a business trip?Long Xiong asked first. Let it go, Tamura couldn't help but said excitedly, it was just decided.It was the director who asked me to go. In that case, your chief is more sensible than the deputy chief. no.Tamura leaned forward and said, tell you, things have a new development.That's why they were willing to send me. What's the matter? We found the clue to kidnap Senuma.The detection team is very lively now. Based on the information released by the detection team, Tamura told the story from when lawyer Senuma was carried on a stretcher and fled from Tokyo Station to when he was escorted to Gifu by a group of people posing as group tourists in the mountains and disappeared halfway. Although there is no way to confirm that the patient is Lawyer Senuma, the detection team is very sure and sent three detectives to Nagoya to investigate. Going to Nagoya? Um.The detective team believes that the lawyer got off the train in Nagoya.The others, posing as group passengers, got off at the stations of Hamamatsu, Toyohashi, and Kariya.The detection team's judgment is that they returned to Tokyo after completing the escort mission. Judging from the fact that there are a lot of people, Long Xiong intuitively thinks that this was clearly planned by Hideaki Fusaka.The right-wing leader dispatched a large number of people to kidnap lawyers and hide them in secret places.They went to Nagoya, didn't they coincide with the check crook Horiguchi flying to Nagoya by JAL? This must be Funazaka!Long Xiong also said excitedly. Yes, it's Hideaki Funasaka!Tamura's eyes were shining brightly. Does the detection team know about this situation? have no idea.Not only did he not know about Funasaka Hideaki, he didn't even grasp the clue of the right wing.Some people speculate that it has something to do with drug trafficking and smuggling. You didn't tell them? In any case, this is a trump card in my hand.To tell the detection team, other newspapers will know immediately.Why should I work so hard!Not only that, even to the society, I didn't even confide a word of the word right-wing.Tamura smiled mysteriously. So what do you think? I don't plan to disclose anything until the case has an outline. The matter is not clear enough at present. This is true.However, Tatsuo couldn't help but be amazed that Tamura had such a big ambition just based on this point. How about it?Before going to Nagoya, let's meet with Hideaki Funasaka and find out what's going on. Do you think it's okay?Tamura suggested. This is certainly not a way.But Long Xiong was somewhat concerned.An attack might not necessarily affect the life and safety of Lawyer Senuma, but the murder case in Shinjuku was an extra problem for Funazaka, and he was inevitably frightened and embarrassed.The kidnapping of lawyer Senuma is a sign.Now that I heard that the newspaper office came to ask for an interview, Zhou Saka was still in shock, and I am afraid that he would feel the urgency of the situation more and more, and became flustered.Long Xiong had a premonition that he was afraid that something ominous would happen. When Long Xiong said his thoughts, Tamura was so energetic that he couldn't listen to him at all. It doesn't matter, I just don't say anything to irritate him.In name, it was an interview, asking him to give a talk, but in fact, after meeting, observe and observe the movement.Tamura tried his best to argue this way. The words were not unreasonable, Long Xiong finally gave in and got into the car that Tamura called and waited outside. Go to Ogikubo. The car left Ome Street from Yoyogi and headed west.The sun was shining brightly, as strong as summer. When we arrived at Ogikubo, the car turned to a path with dense trees.Longxiong recalled the last time he followed Uesaki Etsuko's car.The car passed Dikuzhuang and stopped. The gate, the wall, and the house number of the Funasaka House remain the same.That time, the weather was cold and rainy in spring, and the melodious sound of the piano came from nearby.But at this moment, the scorching sun shone brightly on the trees with sparse branches and leaves. From the gravel road to the second gate.The house was quaint, but quite spacious, much larger than it appeared from the gate.Tamura rang the doorbell. A man in his forties came out, with high cheekbones, big eyes, and a small crew cut. He wore a gray uniform with a stand-up collar, which is not very fashionable now, and a handkerchief pinned to his trouser belt. Excuse me, who are you?Tamura asked. me?The man seemed to reveal a smile, I am the foreman here. foreman? Oh, if the foreman finds it strange, he can be called the manager.The man grinned and said. That's right, a small faction like Funaka should have a manager.Tamura solemnly asked his name. My surname is Yamazaki.Surprisingly, he answered very clearly.But in a pair of big eyes, there is still a hint of mockery in the gaze. Tamura took out his business card and said he wanted to see Mr. Funasaka.The man said coldly: Sir went on a trip. Long Xiong who was standing behind Tamura swallowed unconsciously. Oh, where are you going?Tamura asked. Visit Ise Shrine (Note: The ancestral temple of the Japanese royal family is in Ise City, Mie Prefecture.) Went. Visiting a shrine? Tamura was stunned for a moment.The man glanced at Tamura and said: In order to mentally adjust the new members, I led twenty people to Ise.This is an annual practice.The tone is very clean and sharp.But the brows frowned a few lines. When are you coming back? What do you do?The other party asked back. I would like to invite him to express his views casually on the current situation. As soon as Tamura finished speaking, the man said coldly: Please come back in a week.It was so decided when we left five days ago.After walking out of the gate and getting into the car, Tamura touched Tatsuo and said: Hey, did you hear that?What the manager said just now.This is quite a strange thing. Long Xiong also felt the same way. Shall we go to Ise? Um.To go to Ise, you need to change trains at Nagoya.Doesn't it all point to Nagoya?Five days ago, it was the 20th day when lawyer Senuma was carried to Tokyo Station on a stretcher and headed south by car! The image of group travelers flashed through Long Xiong's mind. Ah, no.The out-of-town visiting group escorting the lawyer got off the bus separately. It was definitely not what the detective team had estimated. They were going back to Tokyo. They happened to drop by and went to Ise.Hey, it's a unique trick to kill two birds with one stone. Long Xiong couldn't help breathing fast. 3 At 3:30 in the afternoon, Tatsuo and Tamura arrived in Nagoya on the Namba Express. The train departed from Tokyo Station at 9:30 in the morning. In order to catch the train, Tamura got up early and fell asleep when the train left Tokyo Station.Along the way, I fell asleep unconsciously, sweating profusely, and slept until Odawara, and only woke up when I passed the Manazuru seaside.He stuck his head out of the window and murmured: The stretcher was thrown from here, right? When the train drove into the Dana Tunnel, I fell asleep again, and when I arrived in Shizuoka, I opened my eyes and shouted: Haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat. After eating the bento, he dozed off again and again.Long Xiong did not expect that he could sleep so well. When he arrived in Nagoya, Tamura stepped onto the platform of the station, stretched his waist like doing gymnastics, and said: This sleep is really sweet.The platform is very high, overlooking the urban area, you can see the scorching sun shining on the high-rise building in the afternoon, shining white light, with heavy shadows in between. I'll go to the branch first.Tamura said that instead of going to the police station, it is more convenient to go to the branch office.you go with me. Long Xiong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: You go to the police station, I will go to the JAL office to check. Well, that's fine, you go and investigate the bus first. Tamura agrees.When Yamamoto took JAL to Komaki Airport, he must have taken the airport shuttle bus.Ask around, maybe you can get some clues. Then I'll meet you in the waiting room of the station in an hour.Tamura suggested, and then decide what to do next. Long Xiong also agrees.The branch was far away from the station, so Tamura called a taxi.In the evening, the sun was still strong, and the car Tamura was riding was shining brightly.Long Xiong watched the cars going away, getting smaller and smaller on the wide road.Unavoidably, a faint melancholy floated up in my heart. JAL's office is opposite the station.Long Xiong walked there in the bright sunshine.Walking into the office, Long Xiong told the clerk who came out to receive him the date and time of Yamamoto's arrival, and hoped to have a talk with the conductor on the bus that day. Fortunately, it was the rest time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a slender face came out to meet Long Xiong. Asking you about someone, Long Xiong asked first, the passengers who arrived on this flight at 21:20 on April 27th, were you the one who sent them into the city? yes. Was there a passenger in the car at that time, anxious to catch the train, fidgeting? The girl suddenly remembered, and replied: Well, there is one.He looked at Long Xiong with devious eyes, and I remember clearly that he said he would take the 22:10 train.Ask me if I have time, I asked twice. Did you catch up with the car later? The car arrived at the station at 21:55.The passenger hurried into the station.At the time, I thought it would be nice to catch the train.I watched him in the car and remembered this incident. Long Xiong took out a newspaper from his pocket, opened it for the girl to read, and asked: Does that traveler look like this? In order to issue a warrant to the whole country, the Metropolitan Police Department published a simulated photo of Yamamoto in the newspaper.The female conductor opened her eyes wide, stared for a moment and said: I think it looks a little bit different. An hour later, Long Xiong returned to the waiting room, but Tian Cun hadn't come yet.After another twenty minutes, he ran in panting. I told you to wait for a long time.Wiping the sweat off your neck while talking, how is the situation? It was done quickly.Long Xiong said that the guy on the plane who was in a hurry to catch the train did indeed take the airport shuttle bus.Probably caught up with the 22:10 car.The bus conductor saw him enter the station.I took out the simulated photo of Yamamoto in the newspaper, and she said it looked a little bit different. Well? It's no wonder that this photo doesn't look like it.In my mind, the photos don't look like it.The words of the conductor are not all credible.However, the similar age can be confirmed, which is a gain.If I take out this photo again in the future, in my opinion, it will be more of a success than a failure. After Longxiong finished speaking, Tamura went on to talk about the situation on his side. I asked the police reporter from the branch office to accompany me. When I arrived at the police station, I said that they were currently investigating the whereabouts of the people who escorted Senuma. Got an idea? No.The whereabouts of the lawyer are also unknown.The police didn't pay attention to the line of Hideaki Funasaka's right wing at all, and they had no way to start, they had to look around.The three detectives from Tokyo also worked very hard. So that's the case.So what do we do next? I think, take the central line to Ruilang, and inquire about it one by one. Tamura looked at his watch while talking, and then looked up at the train timetable on the wall. There is a class at 17:40, which is just right.Now let's go. After speaking, he walked towards the ticket gate.After getting in the car, Tamura seemed to have something on his mind, so he remained silent. What's wrong?Long Xiong asked with concern. Well, I really want to meet Hideaki Funasaka.From here to Ise, it only takes two hours. Tamura seemed restless, shaking his legs nervously. Is he still in Ise? Just now I asked the branch to call Ise's communication office, and I have already asked clearly.It is said that Funasaka has been staying in the hotel. This kind of contact and inquiry is not as convenient as going to the newspaper office. Ah, I remembered.A call came from Tokyo, saying that the manufacturer of the stretcher had been found.Tamura told Longxiong that it was Saeki Medical Equipment Company.There are many manufacturers of stretchers, which are found out based on the characteristics of the products.I heard that the detection team started the investigation from the sales system. This is not easy, it seems that there may be some connections, right? Who knows.Tamura said suspiciously that the opponent had expected this move a long time ago and deliberately threw it there.I don't think they are so stupid as to show off their feet. From which station to check, this is a difficult problem.The two decided to investigate from the first stop of Gaozang Temple according to the plan they hadn't thought of at first.By that time, the surroundings were already in dusk.This is a country station.They followed the passengers who got off the bus and waited for the ticket cut at the end.When their turn came, they told the station attendant that they wanted to see the station master, and they were ushered into the station master's room with a sign next to the door. Tamura took out his business card and explained his purpose. Oh, after such a long time, it is not easy to check.As the old station master spoke, he turned to the attendance sheet for April 27 and called the ticket cutter on duty that day. The guests got off at this station at 22:54.The arrival time of the station is late, and it is estimated that there will not be many people getting off the bus. I wonder if you still have the impression? Long Xiong described his appearance, and the station attendant turned his head and thought for a while and said: Can not remember.Most of the passengers who got off at this time were acquaintances. Are there many locals? Yes.Passengers who get off the train in the middle of the night rarely come from other places.Most of them are people who came back from Nagoya nearby.The webmaster interface said. So, people who don't know him should have an impression, right? Generally speaking, I should remember it, but that day, I didn't have much memory. This stop yielded nothing. After waiting for twenty minutes, the 19:19 train arrived. They got on the train and got off at Tajimi.At this time, the sun had set, and under the night sky, there were countless chimneys standing on this small basin surrounded by mountains.Tajimi is a town that produces ceramics. I really don't remember. The station attendant at this station still said the same thing. An hour later, they took the train to Tokitsu again.Tokitsu is also a ceramic factory site, and samples of porcelain are displayed in the train station. I don't remember much.The station attendant who received them replied that the expression on his face was not very sure. Kozangji, Tajimi, and Tokitsu have no clues, and only Mizunami is left. It's been a long time, I'm afraid I can't remember clearly.Otherwise, Yamamoto didn't get out of the car at all. As soon as Longxiong finished speaking, Tamura hurriedly said: Maybe he didn't get out of the car.On the one hand, the time is at night, and there will not be many people getting off.Besides, most of them are locals, and there are foreign tourists, which should be very ostentatious.Tamura's statement does not look very confident. Get off at Ruilang Station, it's already past ten o'clock.Counting the two of them, there were only seventeen or eight people who cut tickets.The dozen or so people greeted each other with smiles, said good night to the ticket cutters, and walked out of the station.Seeing this scene, Tamura whispered: Sure enough!You see, it's all locals.If Yamamoto got off at this stop, then the car he took was one train later than ours, arriving at 23:31.Even fewer people get off.It was impossible for the station attendant not to notice him. Long Xiong nodded.The train station is small and many lights have been turned off.The last two classes are express trains, which pass here non-stop.So, by the next morning, there would be nothing more to do on the station. From the ticket gate, I saw the attendants inside spreading quilts on the tables lined up.There was only one light on overhead.Tamura knocked on the glass window. What's up?A station attendant in her thirties came out unhappily. On the twenty-seventh I was on duty. When the station attendant saw the newspaper's business card, he immediately became amiable.聽了他們的話，便一邊思索一邊說道： I remember it very well.那晚有四十來個人下車。因為是終點站，人數比較多，全是當地人，都面熟，有的還在聊天。 一聽站務員說記得很清楚，龍雄和田村不由湊近來。 請你詳細談談。 沒有同伴，單身一個人，深更半夜在這裡下車的旅客很少見，所以，我記得清清楚楚。站務員接著往下說，他拿的是名古屋買的車票。那人的長相我沒有什麼印象了，好像有三十來歲，瘦長臉。扔下車票，便慌慌張張向出站口走去。所以，給我的印象格外深。 他的樣子你已經記不得了？Long Xiong asked. 我沒有看清楚。剛才談的，也都是很模糊的印象。 龍雄拿出報紙上的照片試探一下，站務員老實回答說： Not sure. good.那麼，他穿的是什麼衣服呢？田村接過來問道。 穿的襯衫。我記得手裡拎著皮箱和搭著上衣。 上衣是什麼顏色？ 彷彿是灰的，不對，大概是藍的。這些我沒太注意。站務員臉上現出思索的樣子。 有人接他沒有？ No.我只看見他一個人急匆匆走出站。回答得很肯定。 田村想了一會兒，又問道： 此地有幾家旅館？ 三家。車站前的米屋客店，比較清爽。其他兩家路遠一些，也不乾淨。 除此而外，再沒有什麼可問了，兩人道過謝走出車站。昏暗的廣場對面，看見一塊旅館的招牌。 那個傢伙畢竟還是在這一站下的車。田村興沖沖地說道。 是啊，站務員看到的恐怕就是山本。好歹算追踪到了這裡。Long Xiong replied.其實，他是直到方才這一瞬間，才意識到找到了線索。 米屋雖然是家小客店，卻很清潔、舒適。女佣端茶來的時候，田村問道： 你們這裡有幾個女佣人？ 連我共兩個。胖胖的女佣回答說。 唔，那麼我打聽一下田村說出山本來的日子和時間，問她旅館住宿過這樣的客人沒有。 No.那樣晚來投宿的客人，最近半年裡，一位也沒有過。胖女佣當即回答說。 Tamura and Longxiong looked at each other.
