Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Question 1

one The man who stood up with a smile on his face as soon as he saw Torikai Shigetarou was just over thirty years old.He is not tall, but rather strong, with red cheeks, a baby face, two thick eyebrows, and a pair of big eyes. Is it Agent Torikai?I am Noriichi Mihara, Superintendent of the Second Detective Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.Hello.He showed his white teeth, smiled broadly, and handed over his business card. As soon as he heard that it was the Second Division of Detective Investigation, Torikai immediately realized that this person was the alternate chief of the investigation of the death of love, and the Sayama incident came.The First Division of Detective Investigation has always been in charge of violent criminals, while the second material is in charge of murderers.

At present, Tokyo is investigating the corruption incident of the XX Department, and the newspapers are in full swing.The department that Sayama belonged to was the center of the incident.Now, an alternate section chief who works with Sayama has been arrested.A week ago, two more heads of non-governmental organizations with close ties to the Ministry were detained.Events appear to have more developments.The Detective Division 2 of the Metropolitan Police Department is in charge of investigating this incident. I'm here to do a little investigation into the case of Kenichi Sayama, the alternate section chief of the ×× Department who died in love locally.As soon as he sat firmly in the chair, Mihara Ji explained the task as soon as he opened his mouth.The inspector has roughly explained what happened.The materials are also complete, thanks to your help.

Sure enough, the table was already filled with photos of the scene, autopsy reports and other documents. However, Mr. Torikai, I heard that you have some doubts about Sayama's love death? Torikai glanced at the Inspector.The inspector exhaled smoke rings and said: Mr. Torikai.You made some comments a few days ago.I told Mr. Mihara, and he was very interested.Please talk about it in detail. yes.Mr. Detective just mentioned that you have different views on the death of Sayama, I think it is very interesting, so I am waiting for your return.Mihara's round eyes shone brightly.The inspector's expression was extremely complicated.

Where, the so-called different views are just that there are still some points that are not clear, and it is just a guess. Considering the presence of the inspector, Torikai spoke hesitantly.Mihara asked immediately. Guessing is fine too.Just please talk. Torikai had no choice but to raise the matter of the meal ticket for one of the train meal card guests.Just about to say what my daughter said about love and appetite, the words came to my lips, but I swallowed them back. It turns out that this is an interesting point of view.Mihara nodded and smiled, like a diplomat, with a gentle attitude.

Do you still have that meal ticket? He died in an accident, and there was no criminal act. All the belongings had been taken back when the family collected the body.The inspector explained. Yeah?Mihara looked a little disappointed.The date of the meal ticket is indeed January 14th?He asked about bird feeding. That was the day. That day was the day when Sayama and Ashi, the hostess of Koyuki Restaurant, set off on the Asakaze train at Tokyo Station.As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket. This is the timetable of the Chaofeng train that I copied down.Driving in Tokyo is at 18:30, Atami at 20:10, Shizuoka at 21:11, Nagoya at 23:21, and Osaka at 2:00 in the morning. When you arrive in Osaka, it is 15:00 the next day. no.Therefore, the number 14 on the meal ticket proves that the meal time must be at 23:21 at the latest in Nagoya, which is the last stop of the day.

While listening to Torikai, he understood the meaning of Mihara's words.In this way, this person's view is also the same as his own. Speaking of this, Sanyuan said to the inspector: Let's go to the scene to see now.I don't dare to disturb you, so please ask Mr. Torikai to lead the way, okay? With a look of helplessness, the inspector agreed. two After getting on the tram, Superintendent Mihara said to Torikai Shigetaro who was standing next to him: "How is it? That detective doesn't seem very happy?" Torikai smiled wryly, and approached him with narrowed eyes.

It's the same everywhere.I think your idea is not unreasonable.Since it is inconvenient to speak in front of the inspector, I ask you to lead the way and stay away from him. So, let's talk when we get there.Torikai thanked Mihara for his kindness. Take the tram straight from the front of the circuit to the Kashii tram stop.It takes less than ten minutes to walk from the station to the scene. Coming to the coast, Sanyuan enjoyed the scenery, and the clear sky added spring colors to the beach.The islands and bays were shrouded in mist. Is this the famous Xuanjie Beach?When I came here, I saw it on the train. I visited it in person and appreciated it carefully. It is really extraordinary!Mihara looked at the sea from a distance.

Torikai led him to see the place where the dead body was found, and explained the situation clearly.Mihara took out the live photos from his pocket and compared them.Nod from time to time. The ground is rocky.Mihara looked around. correct.You see, there is sand over there, and here are stones. Then there are no traces left.Mihara didn't know what to think of, talking to himself. Now, please ask Mr. Torikai to talk about your views! After Sanyuan said this, he left the scene, picked up a big stone next to him, and the two sat down side by side.The afternoon sun shone warmly on the shoulders of the coat.In the eyes of others, these two people are just basking in the sun.

First of all, I want to mention the guests of the train meal card. A meal ticket torikai began to express his views, talked about the questions and reasons in the past, and finally said the love and appetite problems that his daughter said. So, I always wondered, did Sayama come by that train alone? Mihara listened with great interest from beginning to end. It's really interesting, and I think it makes sense.Mihara rolled his eyes and said.However, some witnesses saw two people get on the train at Tokyo Station. Someone saw it, so, can it be assumed that Ah Shi got off at a certain station halfway?Torikai said.

Let’s just assume that if she gets off the train, Mihara takes out the notebook from her pocket: the meal ticket is for the 14th, and the train arrives at Nagoya at 23:21, so it gets off at or before Nagoya car.Generally, the train meal card does not sell anything at 22:00. According to this calculation, Ah Shi either got off at Atami at 20:00, or got off at Shizuoka at 21:10. You're right, roughly the same.Torikai seemed to have such a judgment at first, but now he heard Mihara speak out what was in his heart, he nodded repeatedly. great.Although there are many days apart and the effect is unknown, it is always beneficial to go to Atami and Shizuoka stations and hotels immediately to investigate.What's more, it is much more convenient to investigate the matter of a single woman.Having said this, Mihara asked, are there any other clues?

Sayama lived in a hotel called Tambaya in Hakata, from the 15th to the 20th by himself.The 15th was the day he came to Hakata from Tokyo. Torikai then put Sayama's pseudonym Sugawara in the hotel to wait for an incoming call. A woman called Sugawara at eight o'clock on the night of the 20th. Mihara heard this enthusiastically, and interjected that the one who knew Sayama's pseudonym was of course Ah Shi.The two must have agreed on a pseudonym in advance. I think so too.So, this solves a mystery. What doubts? A few days ago, I always thought that Sayama and Ah Shi came to Hakata together, and then Ah Shi went somewhere else. Now, after listening to your analysis, I also think that Ah Shi must have got off the bus halfway and came to Hakata later. here.In other words, Ah Shi got off at Atami or Shizuoka on the 14th and let Sayama go first, and he arrived in Hakata on the 20th.When they arrived, they called the hotel, and Sayama had been waiting for the call at the hotel. From this point of view, the two had discussed it properly.When Torikai said this, he added another sentence, but there was also one thing that was not discussed. oh what is it There is no agreement on which day Ah Shi will arrive in Hakata.Sayama waited for the phone call in the hotel every day, which meant that the date for her arrival in Hakata had not been fixed. three Speaking of this, Mihara drew a train timetable in the notebook.After finishing writing, I told Torikai that it was roughly like this. Torikai looked at it carefully, and even said, yes, yes. But why did Ah Shi get off the bus halfway?Mihara asked him. yes!This is the right question, and Tokai couldn't answer it for a while, and he had thought about this question before, but he still couldn't find the answer. I don't know why?Torikai patted his cheek lightly with his hand. Mihara folded his hands, as if he was thinking about it, and stared blankly at the sea.Shiga Island floated knee-length in the sea. Mr. Mihara, Torikai called him suddenly, and raised the question that had been in his heart for a long time.Why is the Metropolitan Police Department studying the death of Sayama in detail now? Mihara didn't answer right away, took out two cigarettes and handed them to Torikai.After turning on the lighter and lighting it for him, he smoked one himself, breathing out the blue smoke peacefully. Mr. Torikai, because I got a lot of help from you, I just said it, and Mihara spoke. Sayama Kenichi is the most important witness in the XX Department corruption incident.Although he is an alternate section chief, in fact, he has been responsible for practical work for many years and has a good understanding of administrative affairs.Therefore, this incident has a lot to do with him.At this point, he should be called a suspect rather than a witness.However, we were too negligent to monitor him adequately at the beginning of the incident.In this way, he died inexplicably. Mihara tapped the cigarette ash and continued: However, after his death, many people showed an air of relief.The more we investigated in detail, the more we found that there must be a lot of useful information in Sayama's mouth.And once he died, it would be very difficult for us to remedy, which is extremely regrettable.Sayama's death was a big blow to us.However, we are regretting, but some people express joy on the contrary.So, did Sayama die to cover them up?These days, we have questions about his death. doubt? In other words, it is suspected that his death was not a suicide, but a forced death. Torikai stared closely at Mihara: Is there any sign? No obvious signs yet.Mihara replied. However, there is no suicide note.Not even the woman who died with him. Yes, Torikai once thought of this too, and mentioned it to the inspector. Moreover, when we investigated Sayama's life experience in Tokyo, we found that we could not find any clues about his relationship with Ah Shi. What kind of relationship? Sayama seems to be in love with someone, but it is impossible to know if this person is Ah Shi.Regarding Ah Shi, I also went to Xiaoxue Restaurant to ask the waitresses, and went to the place where she lived to investigate, and they all said that there was indeed a man who was in contact with her.That man often called her apartment, and Ah Shi often stayed out.However, the man never showed up at her apartment.Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether he is Sayama or not. Torikai listened, and felt that the more he listened, the more bizarre he became.Now, aren't Sayama and Ah Shi dead in love? However, Mr. Mihara.Sayama and Ah Shi took the Chaofeng train affectionately, which was witnessed by Xiaoxue's two waitresses.However, there is another person, a guest who often comes to Xiaoxue.All three of them had seen it with their own eyes.In addition, judging from the scene, the two were indeed dead in love.I saw it myself. You have the on-site photos of this department in your hand, so you can understand it when you look at the corpse. yes!Mihara showed doubts for the first time.After coming here, I read a lot of information. Generally speaking, it is not wrong to judge that they are love dead.However, I brought some doubts from Tokyo, which are still not close to reality. Torikai can more or less guess what the question Mihara brings is. Four Let's go back together.After Mihara said it, the two stood up and walked back side by side along the way they came from. Walking to the Kashii Tram Station, Torikai suddenly remembered this, and said to Mihara: Kashii Railway Station is 500 meters away from this station.Here's an interesting thing. He mentioned that a couple of men and women appeared at both stations on the night of the 20th, and explained in detail how he traveled between the two stations and the actual test time. Oh, this is interesting, Mihara's eyes are shining, let me try it too. Torikai took Mihara back and forth between the two stations at three different speeds according to the method the day before yesterday. Sure enough, no matter how slow you walked, it would take less than seven minutes.Mihara looked at his watch and said, if it was eleven minutes, it would be too much.Unless it stops halfway. I think the men and women at the two stations are basically two different pairs. It's also possible, but Mihara's round eyes looked at the sky, thinking carefully.I think the two pairs of men and women are the same pair.That is, they came out of the train station, passed in front of the tram station, and walked towards the coast scene At this time, Torikai introduced the words of the train station staff and passengers in detail.Mihara wrote down one by one in the notepad. It's hard to say who is right now.All in all, it was a lot of fun and a lot of work.While speaking, he looked at Tokai Shigetarou's thin body, as if to comfort him. At dusk the next day, Torikai came to the platform of Hakata Station and sent Superintendent Mihara back to Tokyo.The train is the special express train Unzen departing at 6:02. When do you arrive in Tokyo? Tomorrow at three forty in the afternoon. You worked hard this time. Where, you have to take care of me.Mihara bowed his thanks. I'm not doing you any favors.Torikai said. What to say, Mr. Torikai, this time I came to Kyushu, thanks to your help, I got a lot of materials.Mihara looked at him and expressed his gratitude from the heart. Although the Unzen train from Nagasaki has arrived, there are still twelve or thirteen minutes before driving.The two stood together and talked. In front of you, the trains are coming and going, which is very lively.On the opposite platform, a freight car was parked.The station here has a special air about it, and it seems extremely rushed.Mihara came to Kyushu all the way, with some nostalgia on his face. Are the trains on the platform of Tokyo Station also so busy?Looking at the disordered situation on the spot, Torikai couldn't help but wonder what it would be like at Tokyo Station, which he had never seen before. No, it's more chaotic.There are constantly vehicles waiting to drive on the platform. Mihara blurted out without paying attention, and when he finished speaking, his whole body shook like an electric shock.He suddenly remembered an important thing. Someone once saw Sayama and Toki boarding the Asakaze train at Tokyo Station.It is said that witnesses stood on platform 13 and watched the passengers on platform 15.However, at Tokyo Station, platforms 13 and 14 are close together.Trains come and go frequently, are there really no other vehicles in the middle to block the view, can platform 15 really be seen from platform 13?
