Chapter 3 his background

one The woman who escaped from Lake Sagami is the subject of the search. Judging from the fact that the deceased Doi Takeo took her to the lakeside hotel, she was quite close to Doi.However, according to the female hotel worker, she doesn't seem to have a deep relationship with Doi.According to the female worker, the woman's appearance is quite beautiful. According to the survey, soil fertilizer is not unrelated to men and women.The search team questioned these women one by one, but they couldn't find the woman who escaped from the lake. Therefore, this escaped woman, as Doi's friends said, must be his new love.

The search team couldn't find any clues about this woman's life experience.According to the driver who picked up the two in Shinjuku, the woman waited near the Koenji Ichimachi tram stop and met Doi. Depending on the situation, she should live in this area. Based on the testimony of the female hotel worker and the memory of the driver, the search team drew a rough outline of the woman's appearance. Based on these characteristics, the search team focused on the Koenji town and conducted a detailed investigation, including guest houses and hotels. The woman could tell at a glance that she was a wine girl.It can be seen from the observation of the hotel maid.The clothes are well-dressed, and it is definitely not someone who just debuted.The police believed her observations were largely correct.

Doi's interest in women is not at all for women who have just debuted.The people who often hang out with him are either artisans, or waitresses and barmaids.This was the opinion of all who had dealings with her. Therefore, the woman who escaped from Sagami Lake may be a part-time worker in some restaurant or bar.Most of these women live in single rooms in the building.However, no matter how much investigation was done, no trace of her was found near the place where she was waiting for the bus.Later, the scope of the search was expanded to Suginami District (Koenji belongs to Suginami District) and Nakano District, but it was futile and clueless.

Why did this woman kill Takeo Doi? Since they went to the Sagami Lake Hotel together at night, she showed some kind of kindness towards Doi.In fact, according to the hotel maid, whenever she entered the room, it was as if the two of them had just parted from an embrace. When the man took her out for a walk, she also seemed to be full of joy and followed behind. According to this deduction, if it is said that because the man was by the dark lakeside, he forced the woman to have sex, but the woman refused and killed the man, this assumption may not hold water. Based on the testimony of the female worker, it can be deduced that Takeo Doi hoped to stay in the hotel with the female that night.At that time, the female worker asked him if he would stay overnight. Although Doi did not give an affirmative answer, it can be seen from this that he wanted to ask the woman for her opinion.

According to this inference, the relationship between the two can be roughly understood clearly.This woman is Dou Fei's new relationship recently, but she has not yet developed a physical relationship.The friendship between the two was already quite close, and Doi took her to the hotel that night just to achieve the final relationship. Therefore, the time between Doi and her will not be very long.Based on this point, the search team conducted a detailed investigation of the restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc. that Takeo Doi had been to recently. However, after investigating from this line, the woman was still not found.

This case is a bit strange!The leader of the search team responsible for investigating the bloody case scratched his head.The motive for the murder is unknown! However, a few days later, there is a new saying that accumulating grievances appeared. The person who made this claim was Kiichi Mihara, a young police officer sent by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to support him. The search headquarters is jointly composed of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.The scene of the murder was in Kanagawa Prefecture, but the deceased was from Tokyo, and the murderer was expected to be a woman from Tokyo, so the two parties worked together.

Superintendent Mihara said, I don't think this is a simple murder case.It is a bit unreasonable for a woman to strangle a tall man with a thick hemp rope.Suppose the man provokes the woman at the scene, and the woman pretends to listen to him, and suddenly wraps a thick hemp rope around his head by surprise. This is the possibility of strangulation.However, as long as the man exerts his strength, her strength cannot subdue him. Those present at the meeting listened to this opinion and asked, according to this, is there an accomplice? I think so.This may be related to the peachy issue.For example, the deceased Doi Takeo wanted to hit the woman with all his heart.But the woman had another lover, and kept spying on the actions of the two of them. He knew that they were going to Lake Sagami that night, so when they were out for a walk, he followed them and launched a surprise attack at the scene.

This statement is reasonable, and most of the people present accept it. However, there are doubts about how much. If this statement is true, it does not necessarily mean killing people!Because, that woman didn't seem to be fully embraced by Doi Fei.If you want to avenge Doi's love, there are many ways to threaten and obstruct.If it is said that the murder is based on this motive alone, the reason seems weaker. This paradox also seems to be tenable. It is also said that in such an occasion, the person concerned cannot restrain his impulsive feelings.It flares up for a while, and finally develops into murder. There have been many similar situations.Prisoners, when they are on the spot, they always lose their composure.

Therefore, the hypothesis of Sanyuan Jiyi is not completely unreasonable. After several meetings, it was generally agreed that the woman did not seem to have committed the crime alone, and this point can be concluded. However, in addition to the peachy issue, there is another completely different view, that is, the murderer committed the crime out of grievances. This is because Takeo Doi published a newspaper for the transport industry by himself, so he inevitably made enemies. The search headquarters then began to investigate in this regard. At present, there are four professional newspapers related to the transportation industry.One was established before the war, and the other three were established after the war.Takeo Doi's traffic report was founded five years ago as the second newspaper of the three after the war.

Generally speaking, his reporting was considered fair.Most professional newspapers require many bosses in the industry to pay subsidies in the form of purchasing newspapers and increasing sales, but Takeo Doi usually does not insist on this.All parties believe that his business policy is still decent, so in this investigation, no disputes have been found in the professional newspaper he runs, that is to say, he has no special enemies. two Takeo Doi's funeral was held on February 12th at a temple near the house. The funeral was quite grand.In front of the main hall, there are piles of wreaths.Inside are wreaths donated by the transportation industry.There are about 300 long-distance bus companies and taxi companies in Tokyo.All large-scale companies will send wreaths, and there are more than 30 companies that have come forward in the name of the company alone.In addition, there are many wreaths presented in private names.Due to Takeo Doi's interviews from time to time, the director of the Transportation Bureau, the deputy director, the section chief, etc. all sent wreaths to express their condolences.

In addition, there are auto parts wholesalers, retailers, painting companies, automobile companies, etc., who presented wreaths to the coffin. One hundred and twenty thirty people attended the funeral.This is the largest funeral since the temple opened. However, there were also five or six spies who searched the headquarters among the Diao Ke.With miraculous expressions, they counted the prayer beads in their hands and carefully studied the expressions of the guests present. Not only inside the Buddhist hall, but also everywhere outside the hall are spies. According to the experience of many murders in the past, after the murder, the murderer often pretended to be nonchalant and attended the funeral of the deceased in person. Especially this time, they don't know who the murderer is, and even the motive for the murder is unclear, and the search headquarters is in a state of confusion. If anyone is found to be uneasy during the funeral, they can investigate secretly and try to find a few clues. Therefore, the spies mixed in the crowd are all paying attention. The funeral ceremony went smoothly. The hangers burn incense one by one at the end, and exit the hall one by one after burning. In charge of presiding over the funeral were the presidents of two peer newspapers.The so-called president is just a person who employs a few clerks, not a big newspaper. One is Tatsuyoshi Okuma, president of Teito Transportation News, and the other is Fukutaro Sahara, president of Central Automotive News.Okuma is fifty-two years old.Sawara is forty-eight years old.Okuma's Teito Traffic News was founded before the war, and it is the oldest brand. The search headquarters has already talked with the two of them many times about Doi Takeo.Both of them praised Takeo Doi for his conduct.The search headquarters expressed dissatisfaction with this attitude of blind praise. We hope to solve the case as soon as possible.Therefore, you don't need to cover up your old friends.In order to comfort the deceased in Jiuquan, instead, you should speak out everything you have said. The search headquarters said so much, but the two still couldn't say anything.Maybe it's because their mouths are tight, maybe it's because Doi really doesn't have any secrets, anyway, the search headquarters couldn't find anything important from them. Okuma Tatsuyoshi said: Mr. Doi likes to find women to play with, but he doesn't have a deep friendship. I can't think of any specific objects for him. Sahara Fukutaro said: I really didn't expect such a thing.Doi is very familiar with us, and the newspaper's business policy is also very solid, and there will never be any hatred or hatred. There must be a big problem inside the small professional newspaper, but these two people are unwilling to say anything about Doi Takeo's life experience. After careful interrogation at the search headquarters, the only thing they found was that there was no other way but to listen to their words. When the funeral was almost over, a person walked up to the two presidents and had a brief greeting. This is a burly man of thirty-seven or eight years old. The two presidents paid homage and flattery.It's really hard work.The wreaths sent by your company are the biggest and best.After you go back, please express your gratitude to your president. I must pass the word on.said the man.However, this thing is really surprising.I never dreamed that Mr. Doi would encounter such a thing. After speaking, he looked closely at the altar. But no, a person's life is really hard to tell. I learned about Mr. Doi in Kyushu.said the man. Saw it in the newspaper? No, our company sent a telegram to inform you.Startled. Is that right, a business trip to Kyushu? No, not a business trip.I happened to have something to do in Hakata, so I stopped by Moji's Wabu Kari Shrine to watch the ritual.Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, the priests go to the sea to harvest wakame according to the custom for many years, and I go to visit. Well, it's really leisurely, romantic and unrestrained.Okuma said. Come to think of it, Mineoka-san likes haiku.Fukutaro Sawara laughed. There, my haiku is difficult to be elegant. Recently, I heard that there is such a ceremony, so I went to open my eyes.The ceremony lasted all night, and I also stood in the sea breeze all night. I was exhausted and returned to the Kokura Hotel. I had just slept in the hotel when the telegram came. Yeah?Mr. Tong Doi, the president of your company, is also an old friend. Not really.He is also very close to me. As soon as the staff on duty in our company heard the news, he immediately notified me. So you go back to Tokyo immediately. No, he said with a smile: I went to Fukuoka to do some errands, and I came back by train the next day. I don't have enough time. See you another day, see you another day. thanks.The two presidents bowed again to thank them. A spy took the list of signatures to check. All the people who come to the temple are registered with their names by the staff. This is also the request of the police.Therefore, the registers are filled with the list of those who attended the funeral. Who was the person who spoke just now? The clerks at the signing office are all employees of professional newspapers, and they immediately replied that it was Mr. Mineoka Yiyi, the executive director of Aurora Transportation Company. The spy found his name in the list. Aurora Transportation is a large-scale automobile company, right? good.There are now five major companies in Tokyo, and Aurora Transportation is the fifth.replied the clerk. How many cars are there? There are 50 buses, 800 commercial vehicles, and 120 long-distance commercial vehicles.Originally, the business was not too big or small, but it has recently developed. No wonder, I often see the words Aurora Traffic on the signs of commercial vehicles on the street.said the spy.He jotted down the material in his notebook. The president's name is Haizu Ryosaku, and he is very bold in doing things.Mineoka-san just now is also very capable.The two paired up and the business thrived. The executive director, who came to attend Mr. Doi's funeral, had a close relationship with the deceased at last. No, Mr. Doi is very valued by Mr. Kaizu. The president can't come in person, but he has to send the executive director to pay his respects. The spy also took these words down. three According to the clues of the deceased's relationship with Doi and Fertility, the search headquarters selects important people for secret investigation. Due to his professional relationship, most of the people who come and go with Doi Takeo are from the transportation industry.The five large-scale automobile companies in Tokyo are the objects of his frequent contacts. Therefore, an investigation was first launched on the heads of the five companies.The focus is on their male-female relationship. According to undercover investigation materials, each has a considerable number of female contacts.Some people in charge have concubines, and some provide money for women to do business. This investigation is time-consuming.However, the woman who disappeared by Lake Sagami never reappeared. After the search team finished investigating the woman, they began to investigate the actions of the person who had a relationship with Doi that night. According to the report of the car driver who transported Doi and the woman, that day was February 6th.The two arrived at the Bitan Pavilion Hotel by Lake Sagami at 6:00 pm. Therefore, from 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm on February 6th is the focus of the investigation.The forensic doctor who dissected the body of Tufei believed that the time of death was between 9:00 and 10:00 that night. About 20 people were surveyed.Among them were officials from the Transportation Bureau, the heads of five large-scale automobile companies, personal friends of Takeo Doi, and so on.Among the list, two-thirds of them can fully prove that there is evidence that they were not present at the scene, and the remaining one-third can only be left to their own testimony, and there is no other way to provide evidence. Superintendent Mihara checked the list again, and suddenly saw the words "Business trip Fukuoka" in the comment column. The name is Mine Oka Monday, managing director of Aurora Transportation Company. There is another line below: The person certifies that he took a Japan Airlines plane from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Fukuoka at 3:00 pm on February 6. Hey, Mihara called the spy in charge of the investigation over and asked: Did this person surnamed Mineoka attend the funeral? some.I saw him talking to two funeral directors.Saying that, the spy took out the notebook. It is probably not wrong to say that you are flying with Japan Airlines. Has there been any investigation? Investigated.The plane arrived at Fukuoka Airport at 7:10 p.m., and his name was also on the passenger list.We also know from his own testimony that he visited Daito Corporation, a local auto parts company, in Fukuoka. Did you tell the Fukuoka Police Station? There are also.This is the reply.The spy took a letter from his drawer. Dear Sirs, according to the letter, the investigation is as follows: Nobuyuki Kosaka, director of Daito Corporation (auto parts agency), No. 23, Watanabe Street, 6-chome, Fukuoka City, and Mineoka, executive director of Aurora Transportation Company, 2341 Kandacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, went there on Monday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m. Company talk, about fifty minutes before resigning. The content of the conversation was mostly business, and Mineoka went to Moji at night on the first day to participate in the ceremony at the Wabu Kari Shrine before dawn on the seventh day.I stayed at the Okura Daikichi Hotel for a while, and after contacting the hotel by phone, it was confirmed that there was such a thing. Fukuoka Police Station Shigetaro Tokai Mihara Norika stared at the reply letter.He didn't describe the content of the answer, but recalled the person Torikai Shigetaro. Since the last time there was a corruption incident and everyone investigated together, he and Tokai Shigetaro have established a friendship.Last May, at the invitation of Torikai, I went to Fukuoka to visit the Hakata Festival. Superintendent Mihara has a good impression of the old detective bird feed. Recently, detective work tends to be modernized, and there are fewer and fewer old detectives in the past.Although this is a good thing, it is not without a sense of pity. The residence of Torikai Shigetaro is just two small rooms.Amateur interest is nothing more than planting five or six pots of flowers and plants in the corridor. The two communicate frequently.This time, the Fukuoka Police Station was asked to investigate the case, but unexpectedly, it was him who answered the question. If Shigetaro Torikai did the investigation himself, there would be no mistake.
