Chapter 5 totally absent

one The Moji Police Department sent a reply to Superintendent Mihara. Mihara took a copy of the photos of the Henukari Shrine that Mineoka took on Monday, and sent it to Moji to ask them to identify whether the photos were from this year's ceremony at the Henukari Shrine. The answer is that, according to inspection, it is indeed this year's sacrificial ceremony.Because in the photo, the priest standing in the middle holding a torch only participated in the sacrifice this year.This is the strongest evidence. Another photo is of the surrounding audience, one of whom happens to be an undercover detective from the Moji Police Department.This was the spies sent that night to strengthen the vigilance, and he was there for the first time this year.

Mihara Ji placed the letter from the Moji Police Department on the table and kept smoking. In this light, Mineoka's confession on Monday was not a lie.This can prove that he was not at the scene of the murder. However, Mihara Jiichi has a very stubborn personality, and he is unwilling to give up his original plan just because of this reply.Because, it can't be proved yet, this is the photo that Mineoka personally took on Monday.That's right, even if Mineoka Zhou Yi not only stated that he had taken pictures, but also showed Sanyuan the photos, he might have borrowed other people's photos and pretended to be his own.

Mihara Jiichi suddenly remembered that Mineoka said on Monday that when he was at the Daikichi Hotel in Okura, he had taken pictures of the female workers there. If he used the film he had taken at the Hebukari Shrine and took the rest of the photos for the female workers in the hotel, then the photos of the shrine and the female workers should all be in the same roll of film. Of course, it can also be considered that two different rolls of film are used.The roll of film at the Wanukari Shrine is all used up.Once at the hotel, another roll of film is also available. However, Mihara Kiichi had other ideas.

The Wabu Kari Shrine ritual is performed at night.Mineoka said on Monday that the photo was taken with a flash.That being the case, the film will not consume too much. once asked the photographer.Mineoka said that he used a Leica camera and took thirty-six photos.He took pictures at Hebu Kari Shrine, and he would never use all thirty-six photos for the ceremony of He Bu Kari Shrine. He either took pictures elsewhere before, or continued to take pictures in other places afterwards. That being the case, after taking a photo of the film of the Wabu Kari Shrine, there should be a portrait of the female worker in the second half.If the film was changed later, then there must have been another shot in front of the Wabu Kari Festival.

As soon as Mihara Ji thought of this, he immediately wrote a letter: Mr. Mineoka: Thank you for your assistance.The photos I borrowed a few days ago have been verified by Moji, and they are indeed from this year and the Nunari Shrine. I am very happy to receive this answer. However, since the police department always tends to conduct detailed investigations, they still want to borrow the negatives of these photos.This is not because there is any doubt about Mr. Mineoka, but because there is no clue about this case, the search team has no choice but to question everything.Forgive me for this matter, as long as I send this volume of film with photos of Wanukari Shrine rituals to the next one for a look.

Mihara Kiichi Superintendent Mihara summoned the detective and ordered him to carry the letter and go to Mine-oka Zhou Yi. It was there to pick up the film, and he said to the detective: "You should be polite in your words, don't give the other party an unpleasant impression, and be careful in everything." Understood.Isn't Mineoka Monday a subject of investigation? Although he is the subject of the investigation, you can't force it, you must be polite to him, and if he says that the film has been cut or disappeared, don't ask any more questions and come back immediately.

knew. All in all, don't make him unhappy. Mihara Jiyi exhorted him like this, always felt that Mineoka Yiyi was at the end of his rope and was forced to the end. The detective came back from Mineoka Monday's company, very surprised, with a smile on his face. police!Things are brought back.The agent handed over the envelope. How about it!The other party did not express displeasure?Superintendent Mihara Jiichi asked him. No, I can't see it.He read the superintendent's letter, said it was clear, opened the drawer, and took out the film you wanted. What, just keep it in the company?

Yeah, his desk has a row of drawers, and opening one of them takes out the film.I also brought back his letter. As soon as Sanyuanji heard this, he immediately thought that he was very careful.The film didn't take it home either, but put it in the office, as if waiting for the police to ask for it.No, no, maybe I'm paranoid.He developed the film in a photo studio near the company, and didn't take it home, but put it in the desk drawer, which is also a common thing. That being said, it wasn't unnatural for the agent to take it back as soon as he went there. Sanyuanji took out the letter card, and saw that it read:

After receiving the letter, I learned one by one.It is inevitable for the authorities to conduct a search with careful consideration.According to this, the necessary materials and the photo film of the Nunari Shrine's ceremony should be provided immediately as a show of assistance.I would like to ask someone to bring the film back, and please throw it back immediately after using it. Mineoka worships on Monday two Mihara Jiichi took out the film from the envelope. The print company had cut the roll of film into six sections and put them in cellophane sleeves.I ordered a little, thirty-six, one is not bad.

He took Flynn to the window and checked it against the sunlight. The first ten photos were taken with long-distance buses and commercial vehicles as the background, and were taken for drivers, tour guide girls, etc. Some were leaning on the vehicles, and some were poking out of the windows.Probably Mineoka took pictures of our employees. Photos of the ceremony at the Nunukari Shrine, starting from the twelfth film.These are the negatives of the photos that Mihara Kiichi retrieved from Mineoka, there are eight in total. Sanyuan checked carefully with the light from the window, and it was indeed the same as the original photo.

After the ceremony, a girl appeared on the film with the rockery as the background. This is the female worker of the Daji Hotel in Xiaokura.In the last part of the film, there are nine unphotographed blanks. The composition of this volume of film is as follows: three photos of failed shots, eleven photos taken by staff, eight photos of Nunikari Shrine rituals, five photos of female hotel workers, and nine photos that were not photographed, a total of 36 photos. According to this calculation, the photographer of the photos of Hebu Kari Shrine is indeed Mineoka Monday, that is to say, he neither borrowed negatives nor borrowed photos from others. Mihara Jiichi began to mentally prepare to admit the authenticity of this volume of film, and completely dispelled the possibility of Mineoka appearing at the scene of the murder by Lake Sagami on Monday. However, Mihara still has doubts that cannot be solved. He didn't have any special doubts about Mineoka, but he devoted himself to studying, if he was Mineoka, and if he had to carry out this murder case, what method would he use to achieve his wish. Inferred from the time, the Sagami Lake murder occurred between nine o'clock and ten o'clock the night before, and Mineoka could not rush back from Kyushu to the vicinity of Tokyo. After the murder, he returned to Kyushu. Just thinking of this, an agent sent in a letter from the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department. It is Osaka's answer to the question raised by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Flight 311, which took off from Tokyo at 3:00 p.m. on February 6, landed at Osaka Airport at 4:55 p.m., continued to Fukuoka at 5:10 p.m., and landed at 7:10 p.m.The number of passengers was as follows: when the plane took off from Tokyo, there were 64 people fully booked, of which 38 were going to Osaka and 26 were going to Fukuoka.Thirty-eight people boarded the plane from Osaka, and the plane was also full when it flew to Fukuoka. As time goes by, things are not easy to find out.In order to prevent this from happening, an investigation needs to be carried out immediately.For this reason, Mihara Kiichi made an inquiry to the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department: The assumptions considered by Mihara are as follows: Mineoka flew from Tokyo to Fukuoka on a plane at 3:00 pm, which landed in Osaka en route.In terms of time, we arrived in Osaka at 4:55 p.m. and continued to fly to Banzui Airport in Fukuoka at 5:10 p.m. If Mineoka is a prisoner, he must return to Tokyo from Itami Airport in Osaka.In doing so, it is possible to take the one-three-two flight that leaves Osaka at 6:05 p.m. and arrives in Tokyo at 7:35 p.m. Arrive at Haneda Airport in Tokyo at 7:35 p.m., from here to Shinjuku by car for about one hour, and from Shinjuku to Sagami Lake for two hours, a total of three hours.The time to arrive at the Sagami Lake scene can be at ten thirty-five. However, this is not possible.It was announced that Takeo Doi died between nine and ten at night. However, he continued to speculate on the possibility that the prisoner would return to Tokyo on Flight 132. Since Mineoka must have booked a non-stop flight to Fukuoka on Monday, if he got off the plane in Osaka and returned to Tokyo, there would be an empty seat for the second half of the flight, that is, the seat in Fukuoka in Osaka. So, whether or not there is a vacancy from Osaka onwards becomes a question here.If there is a vacancy, it is proof that Mineoka returned to Tokyo from Osaka. However, this answer from the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department first destroyed Mihara's above assumptions.Flight 311 did not have a single vacant seat before it arrived in Fukuoka, and it flew to full capacity.This is the result of the Osaka survey. However, you can't stop thinking about it right away. Passenger planes from Tokyo to Fukuoka, after the March 1st flight, there are also flights departing at 6:10 and 7:00 that night, and the next day, departing at 0:30 and arriving at Banfu at 4:40 Airport, the so-called moonlight flight that flew out at 1:30 and arrived at Banfu Airport at 5:10. So what if the criminals were on these flights? In this way, the prisoners could take the 132nd flight from Osaka to Tokyo at 6:50 p.m. on January 6th, and fly from Tokyo to Fukuoka at 5:00 a.m. on the 7th the next day. However, on this occasion, it goes without saying that it will not be able to keep up with the festivals of Moji's and Fukari Shrine. But in doing so, it is possible to arrive at the Daikichi Hotel in Okura at eight o'clock without visiting the Nunikari Festival. The timing of Japan Airlines is as follows. That is to say, take flight 311 to Osaka, disembark in Osaka, use flight 132 (6:5pm) back to Tokyo, and arrive in Tokyo at 7:35.This is the method that Mihara has always envisioned.However, according to this method, it should be 10:35 by car to Sagami Lake, the scene of the murder, which cannot catch up with the murder time between 9:00 and 10:00. When it comes to passenger aircraft, there is naturally another company's All Nippon Airways.Mineoka confessed that the plane he took was a JAL plane. For the sake of carefulness, it can also be inferred from the All Nippon Airways plane.However, after Mineoka left the company, the only ANA planes he used were the two planes listed in the table below. (See attached table on page 53).Also, neither flight has an extended line from Osaka to Fukuoka.No, ANA doesn't even have a single flight from Osaka to Fukuoka. It is possible to take an All Nippon Airways plane from Tokyo to Osaka, and transfer to a JAL plane from Osaka to Fukuoka, but there is no point in doing so. ︱.Flight three three one.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda) ○.30 Osaka (Itami) issued two.25 Osaka (Itami) issued two.40 Fukuoka (board payment) four.Four ○ ︱.Flight three three three.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda).30 Osaka (Itami) Send Osaka (Itami) Send Fukuoka (Banfu) Send Five.one ○ ︱.Flight 311.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda) 15. ○○Osaka (Itami) Issue 16.55 Osaka (Itami) issued 17.10 Fukuoka (Pay) 19.one ○ ︱.Flight one two three.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda) 16. ○○Osaka (Itami) Issue 17.From Sanwu Osaka (Itami) to Fukuoka (Itapay) ︱.Flight 315.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda) 18.10 Osaka (Itami) Send Osaka (Itami) Send Fukuoka (Banfu) Send 19.three five ︱.Flight 317.Depart from Tokyo (Haneda) 19. ○○ Issued by Osaka (Itami) 20.May 5th Osaka (Itami) issued 21.10 Fukuoka (board payment) issued 23.one ○ ◆◆◆．Flight three three two.Depart from Fukuoka (Banpay) ○. ○Osaka (Itami) hair one.55 Osaka (Itami) issued two.10 Tokyo (Haneda) Issue 3.five five ︱.Flight three three four.Shipping place Fukuoka (Payment) issued 1.30 Osaka (Itami) Send Osaka (Itami) Send Tokyo (Haneda) Send 4.Four ○ ︱.Flight one three two.From Fukuoka (Banfu) to Osaka (Itami) to Osaka (Itami) to send 18. ○5 Tokyo (Haneda) Issue 19.three five ︱.Flight one three four.From Fukuoka (Banfu) to Osaka (Itami) to Osaka (Itami) to Yijiu. ○5 Issued in Tokyo (Haneda) 20.three five ︱.Flight 316.Shipping place Fukuoka (Payment) issued 19.20 Osaka (Itami) issued 21.15 Osaka (Itami) issued 21.30 Tokyo (Haneda) issued 22.one five ︱.Flight 318.Departure place Fukuoka (Payment) issued 20.From 20 Osaka (Itami) to Osaka (Itami) to Tokyo (Haneda) to 21.three five ︱ The situation is the same when returning from Osaka to Tokyo. ANA has two flights from Itami Airport at 6:10 pm and 7:10 pm. Since the time difference between the two flights with JAL is only five minutes, it does not make any sense.ANA also doesn't have the equivalent of JAL's Moonlight Flight. Secondly, although I thought of the method of using the JAL Moonlight Flight, the plane arrived in Fukuoka at 5:00 a.m., not in time for Moji's Wanukari Festival.From Fukuoka to Moji, the express train takes a full hour.In addition, the time required from Itazuki Airport to Fukuoka Station, and from Mojiko Station to Wabu Kari Bay must also be included.If you use the 33rd flight, it will be 4:40 to Fukuoka, so the conditions are the same. To be precise, the film that Mineoka shot on Monday is of the Wabu Kari Ritual at 2:40 in the morning.How should we explain this point?This is not something borrowed from others. The sequence of the film shows that it is the sequence he made by himself. Mihara scratched his long hair. three Mihara went out and walked into a familiar coffee shop in Hibiya. This person can't lift his spirits without drinking three cups of coffee a day, especially when the investigation is at a loss, a cup of coffee can restore his vitality and come up with unexpected solutions. Especially when I am on a business trip and cannot drink good coffee in other cities, when I return to Tokyo, I have to go straight to the cafe as soon as I get out of the station without even returning home. This has become a habit for many years. You are here.The female shop assistant who has been working here for four years came to take care of this regular customer.Why do you seem very tired. Why!There are so many troubles! There are very few customers in the shop. I'm sorry for the cold weather. The canteen in the Metropolitan Police Department also has a cup of coffee for 30 yuan.Especially when I come here to drink, I was addicted to it before, so let's serve it out immediately. Yes, yes, right now. Mihara sat down on the chair and opened the map.Is there a way to bypass Sagami Lake from Haneda Airport without going through the center of Tokyo?some.From Kawasaki, go through Fuchu along the Nanbu Line, from Fuchu to Tachikawa via the Koshu Highway, go to Hachioji, and you will arrive after turning over the mountain. No, not right.Not so.If you are going to Lake Sagami by white car or business car, the driver will remember this.Mineoka, who is proficient in calculation, will not take this risk willingly. He will probably take a car to Kawasaki, where he will change to the Nambu Line train bound for Tachikawa. Mihara borrowed the train timetable from the waitress who brought coffee. The Nanbu Line runs from Kawasaki through Musashi Central Plains, Noborito, Fuchu Honcho, and ends at Tachikawa.It takes about an hour to drive, and there is a bus every twelve minutes.Between Haneda and Kawasaki, if you use a car, you can get there in less than 30 minutes.From there, change to an electric train, and an hour later, you can change to the Chuo Line at the terminal Tachikawa.Mihara checked the timetable repeatedly.The Chuo Line departs from Tachikawa Station to Kofu at 9:05 p.m.This bus arrived at Sagamiko Station at 9:48. Mihara put the timetable on the table and brought the coffee to his mouth.Fragrant.Mihara has always only drank coffee. According to this timetable, Mineoka can arrive at the shore of Lake Sagami before ten o'clock. However, thinking of this, there is no reason to list him as the murderer.Mihara was just unwilling to give up the line against Mineoka Monday because of his own mood.This case needs to find the murderer from the very beginning, and this is not limited to Mine Oka Monday alone.In addition, several clues emerged, each with its own possibility. At this point, Mineoka Monday is the least likely.Judging from the relationship between motives and people, there is not the slightest sign that he may have killed Takeo Doi. However, a few hours after the homicide at Lake Sagami, the fact that Mineoka visited an ancient festival in Kyushu and became a complete alibi attracted attention instead.He has always had doubts about Mineoka. The more Mihara thought about it, the more difficult it was for him to understand. However, he always remembered the few words he heard from Fukuoka's old detective Tokai at some point. (The more people believe that they are absolutely infallible, the blind spot in their mind will become unknowingly. This is because they have an illusion, but they do not intend to correct it. For us, this is a terrible thing. Whether How to be sure that there will be no mistakes requires careful investigation again.) Where did the illusion occur? Probably the conflict with the rituals of Nukarari Shrine and the timing of the death of the deceased became a huge obstacle. In terms of the time of death, isn't it impossible to know that Mineoka appeared by Lake Sagami at that time?Then, the following should be to prove the remaining problems. First of all, if Mineoka really arrives in Fukuoka on Monday by JAL Flight 311, he must register his name at the JAL office that day. At the same time, if he got off the plane in Osaka, his name would be removed from the passenger list between Osaka Itami Airport and Fukuoka Itami Airport. OK, let's investigate from here. Followed by Moonlight Flight.Flight 333, which took off from Haneda Airport in Tokyo at 1:30 a.m. on February 7, did not stop in Osaka, but flew directly to Itsuke Airport in Fukuoka.If Mineoka was the real murderer on Monday, he probably would not take the 331 flight that departed at 0:30, but use this flight.It's just that he won't use Mineoka Monday's real name on the passenger list.Of course a pseudonym was used. Then, if all the passengers on this flight were checked, it would be possible to find out whether Mineoka was on this plane. There may have been dozens of passengers on the Moonlight Flight that day. Anyway, Japan Airlines kept a list, and sent agents to check the passengers one by one.If the names of all the passengers are confirmed, it can be proved from the negative that Mineoka did not take this plane. At the same time, this method should also be used for passengers who took flight 132 at 6:50 p.m. on February 6.If all the passengers have any evidence, it is that Mineoka did not return to Tokyo on Monday. All right.Just proceed from this thread. He muttered the words in his mouth to himself.
