Chapter 13 progress

one Superintendent Mihara believes that the Wabu Kari ceremony photographed by Mineoka's film was not taken by a third party, that is, it was not filmed by others who assisted Mineoka.This was his earliest idea. Not because there is additional evidence to prove it.If evidence is mentioned, only evidence of the impossibility of the matter can be found.For example, the issue of time Mineoka did not have time to take these photos alone anyway. Therefore, after the Shuicheng murder case, I thought that the murdered young man must be related to the Sagami lakeside case, and excitedly thought that this man might be the one who took these photos.In other words, this person held Mineoka's camera, took pictures of the Wanukari Festival, and then returned the camera to Mineoka.With such an explanation, difficult problems can be easily solved.At that time, Mihara was very happy about this.

However, this assumption gradually weakened.This is not due to lack of evidence, or insufficient discovery of justifiable factors.It is because Mihara has been clinging to the earliest ideas. In any case, not so, that was his real opinion. However, having said that, it is by no means to say that the Shuicheng murder case has nothing to do with the Sagami lakeside case.This is the same opinion expressed in repeated letters sent by the Torikai agent. According to the usual inference, Mine Gang found someone to take pictures of him and the cloth Kari ceremony.After taking pictures of this man, in order to prevent his secret from being exposed, Mineoka used the woman who escaped from Sagami Lake to silence the man.Although this statement is reasonable, it is too far-fetched to explain, but it is divorced from reality.

If you can't find evidence that Mineoka did have an assistant who took the photo, if you continue to be too obsessed with this line, you will lead the facts astray. It is still unknown where the woman by Lake Sagami went, and it is a strange thing.Despite all means of investigation, no trace could be found. The beautiful woman with the appearance of a wine girl who entered the lakeside hotel with the male deceased left the scene of the crime on the night of February 6th, and arrived in Shuicheng in Kyushu on the 7th of the next day. The body of the young man in Shuicheng was discovered on April 10th. According to the opinion of the autopsy doctor, he probably died around February 10th.The date of the murder was set on February 7th because Mineoka had appeared at the Daito Company in Fukuoka on that day, and according to his own claim, he had been to the site of the Tofu building in order to recite haiku.It can also be considered that this woman must have accompanied Mineoka No. 7 on a business trip that day.

What happened after the night of the sixth is completely impossible to judge. If Mineoka really killed someone, then this woman must have a close relationship with Mineoka.Mihara investigates the situation around Mineoka from this aspect, and it is said that he is very innocent when it comes to women.Tell people the appearance of the woman who appeared by Lake Sagami, and everyone says they don't know who it is. However, judging from the circumstances before and after, the woman must be Mineoka's assistant.After all, what is the origin of that woman?What's the relationship with Mineoka?

Mihara tried his best to find out the existence of that woman from Mineoka's current actions, but he never succeeded.Since Mineoka uses that woman as his assistant, he must keep her hidden.Living expenses and latent expenses must all be paid by him. Therefore, by investigating Mineoka's daily actions, she must be able to find her hiding place, but this aspect has not been successful.Could it be that Mineoka hid that woman extremely well?Or was Mihara completely wrong?Needless to say, Mineoka knew that it would be dangerous to go directly to the woman's place, so he used some method, such as someone in the middle to contact him.Mihara is also conducting investigations in this area.In addition, there is payment, he will think that it is dangerous to send money by himself, and send money to go.Therefore, Mihara also investigated the situation of Mineoka's remittance, but could not find a clue.

That's it, that woman, no matter whether she was in the east or the west, all disappeared like a gust of wind.This thing is so weird. Torikai Shigetaro wrote in a letter saying that there was a female glove as physical evidence in the Mizuki massacre, and it was a rather expensive glove. This point is also similar to the missing woman in the Sagami Lake murder case.According to the female worker at the Lakeside Hotel, the woman was very well dressed.However, she was wearing a Japanese-style kimono by the lake, why did she wear gloves and dress up as a suit in the water city? Gloves Why only one glove is missing.This is also a question that Mihara has been pondering for a long time.

At this moment, Mihara thought of an answer. The loss of the gloves meant that she had to take off the gloves before committing the crime.If you don't pick it up, it won't fall. Mihara thought that the reason why the young deceased entered the bamboo forest in Shuicheng was because of the woman's temptation.If this condition is true, the two must have caressing behaviors in the bamboo forest.Then, it is logical for women to take off their gloves.Otherwise, it must be very unnatural for her to touch the man with gloves on.Gloves get in the way of pleasure.Men and women must hold hands tightly, and at that time, they must also take off their gloves together.

One of the women's gloves fell off, which can be explained by this.But what about men's gloves? According to Torikai's report, the man's corpse was wearing gloves, which were not removed.This is wrong again. If two people fall in love and caress each other, there is absolutely no reason for the woman to take off the gloves.The man should also remove it.Since the woman directly touched the man's body, wouldn't the man want to touch the man directly? Perhaps it was true at the time, and the gloves were put on the man after his death. Mihara deliberated to this point, and wanted to study his idea with someone to see if it was appropriate.However, he has no intention of discussing with the detectives in the Metropolitan Police Department.

He walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department to the cafe he frequented. two There are not many customers in the cafe, and several female shop assistants are chatting together. Superintendent Mihara leaned over, and when he saw the one he knew best, he spoke up.It was a girl of twenty-two or three-year-old with a round face. Do you all have time now?he asked. There are not many customers, and there is nothing to do, the female clerk replied. So, let me ask you guys for some advice, okay?Come here if you have time. Ah, this is special.Several people said in a hurry. You all have experience in love.

As soon as these words came out, the young girls burst into laughter. No, this is not a joke.Sanyuan put on a serious face.It's about my job. Ah, the Metropolitan Police Department is still in charge of this kind of thing. No, it has great reference value. really bad!They always had a good impression of Superintendent Mihara, who often came to drink coffee, and thought he was a decent person.Therefore, when Mihara's words came out, they were taken aback. You are all beautiful, Mihara went on to say, I don't think you have no experience in love. Ah, how dishonest.The girls looked at each other and laughed loudly.

So, I want to ask you guys for advice.Now let’s talk about a man and a woman falling in love, and when they first go out together, do they hold hands together first, right? What exactly is going on? Slowly you will understand.If it is winter, both of them wear gloves? That's not certain.Don't you have experience yourself? My experience can't be accurate.So use your experience as a reference. So, we are the reference persons of love cases. Can't say that.I'm asking, as I said just now, if two people are wearing gloves and holding each other. The girls looked at each other, but still didn't say a word. How about it? Finally someone spoke, and she tilted her head and said that in such a situation, they must take off their gloves.If you hold them together with gloves on, how can you feel anything. As soon as this remark came out, three or four other people agreed. That's right. What does this have to do with investigating crimes? As long as it is investigating a case, it needs to be studied from any angle.So, the police must know everything, right? Although what they say is a common view, it is completely consistent with Mihara's opinion. In the bamboo forest of Shuicheng, there was a flesh-colored female glove that fell on the ground. It was a natural thing for the owner of the glove to take it off.But, on the other hand, the corpse's hands were gloved.This seems unnatural.Perhaps the murderer attacked while the man was embracing the woman. Gloves, gloves, there must be something wrong, there must be something wrong. When Superintendent Mihara walked slowly back to the Metropolitan Police Department, he was thinking as he walked.His feet went in the other direction.If you go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, you won't be able to think deeply.The best place to think is on the road alone. So Superintendent Mihara walked towards the double bridge. It is currently the sightseeing season, and travel groups from all over Tokyo take many long-distance buses to visit the imperial city.The bus stops right in front of the square.Travel groups also marched out with banners. Mihara sat on the grass, looking at the scenery.There are also many people basking in the sun nearby.There are diplomats with briefcases in their hands, and messengers who put their bicycles on the grass and sleep by themselves. There are also many pairs of lovers. A man and a woman came across.The woman was tall, wearing white trousers, but a dazzling crimson sweater on her upper body, while the man walking arm in arm looked shorter, all in black.The combination of red, white and black is particularly eye-catching. The two people had just passed in front of him, and Mihara stood up abruptly. Mihara listened to the conversation of these two people, and at the same time looked at their appearance. So, I don't like that person. Don't worry, she is not a good thing. A strange thing happened, the person in the black shirt was actually a woman.But the one in white trousers and dark red sweater is a man.Seen from the back, the tall man had long hair that almost reached his neck.Recently young men also pretend to be women and like to wear red clothes. Mihara hurried back to the Metropolitan Police Department, which was very different from the slow stroll here from the cafe just now. Hey, back at the Metropolitan Police Department, he loudly ordered the young detectives, get the car ready, I'm going out. Yes, where to go. Eifuku Town in Suginami Ward. The car drove towards Shinjuku, and then turned to Koshu Highway. It was the moment when the vehicles were mixed, and it took an hour to reach the destination Yongfu Town.There is a straight signboard for teaching dancing along the water delivery road in front of the station.That's the sign to the house of Takeo Doi, who died in the Sagamiko massacre. Superintendent Mihara has been here once in the past, and came to inquire about Takeo Doi's life experience.Doi's residence is not very big, and right now, there is a ten-year-old boy playing outside, he is the eldest son of Doi Takeo. Is mom home?Mihara asked kindly, the child looked up at him and nodded. Good boy, go and tell your mother that an uncle is visiting her. The child walked into a small path and went around the back door. Five minutes later, the front door opened with a bang, and Dodo's wife was wiping her wet hands with the scarf wrapped around the front. When she saw Mihara, she hurriedly saluted. Ma'am, I'm here to disturb you again.Mihara stood at the door to greet him.Today I came to burn incense for Mr. Doi. I dare not take it seriously. Mihara was led into the living room.The Tufei Buddhist altar has just been erected, and there are still many offerings in front of it. Mihara knelt in front of the altar, clasping his hands together.Doi's wife quickly lit the Buddha lamp with a candle, burned three incense sticks and inserted it. After saluting, Mihara turned to Doi's wife and bowed again. The case has not been solved yet, but the Metropolitan Police Department did not let go. Please forgive me for that. Too much care.The woman bowed her head and said. Today I am here to interview, in addition to the last investigation, to ask about Zunfu's actions. What action?she asked looking up. Your husband is a businessman, he probably travels a lot, right? Yes, she is on a frequent business trip, she nodded.His newspaper wanted to sell it all over the country, so he often went to Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. So, where do you go the most? That counts Nagoya and Osaka.We all know that Nagoya is where the automobile industry is concentrated.Osaka is the general wholesale location of Kansai. good.As for the number of business trips? Always an Osaka-Nagoya crossover event, swapping every other month. You mean, after going to Nagoya, I will go to Osaka in the second month.Seeing her nodding her head in agreement, Mihara continued to ask, how many days did she spend on business trip? He runs his own business, so there are no rules like corporate travel.There are also three days, and there are also one week. Is this the same in Nagoya and Osaka? The days in Osaka are longer. What about Fukuoka? That's short.But sometimes I go to Kitakyushu and Nagasaki. Mihara's mind is very sensitive to the three words Kitakyushu.Hebu Kari Shrine is located in Moji City at the eastern end of Kitakyushu. Have you ever been to Kokura? I don't know.I don't usually inquire about his work, and usually he doesn't tell me everything in detail. Now let me mention a person, when your husband was on a business trip, did you mention Mineoka Monday, the person in charge of Aurora Transportation Company? Mineoka Monday?I know the name well, my husband mentions him often. Specifically, what was mentioned about him? Said that this person is very capable, but also said that he is still a bachelor.He doesn't look down on any kind of beautiful woman.The vision is too high, and the selection is too strong. Have you ever heard that Mineoka-san went on a business trip with his husband to other places? Never heard of it.The wife of the deceased Doi Takeo said sideways.It seems that they met by chance while on a business trip. Oh where did you see it? I can't tell, my husband didn't, so I have no way of knowing. Then, please think about what you said at that time. When your husband was talking about something, he mentioned Mineoka Monday.Mihara said this and encouraged her.This matter is related to the success or failure of the search for the murderer, so please think about it carefully. Doi's wife lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes after searching desperately in her mind.Yes, it seems that I mentioned that we met in Osaka. Oh, Osaka. I remembered, he said, once met Mr. Mineoka in Osaka and took him to a party.Later, I remembered him mentioning it again. Fun?Have you elaborated on it?Mihara Ding asked a question. Yes, cheers!Just said that. No mention of Nagoya and Kyushu? It seems not. That's right, it's Osaka. Mihara raised his hands. Mihara returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and immediately ran to the forensics section on the fourth floor. The photos of the dead in Shuicheng need to be printed, and 50 will be needed soon. Can you get them out? Is it to distribute and find out the source? right.The sooner the better. Pick it up by this time tomorrow. The next day, Mihara called two agents, handed them fifty photos, and ordered them to travel to Osaka immediately.The consent of their section chief was obtained yesterday.
