Chapter 7 Chapter Seven By chance?Interested?

one I have a special question to ask, please don't bother me.Mihara got straight to the point. Ah yes.Just bring it up.While talking, Yasuda Tatsuro picked up the hospitality cigarettes on the table and greeted them to eat.Then, he took one himself and lit it with a lighter.His attitude has always been extremely serene. He is about forty years old, with slightly bald hair and a rather good complexion.From the looks of it, the business is very big, and he is very confident. He is a middle-aged capable person. It's about the death of Sayama, the alternate section chief of the ×× Department.There are quite a few in the newspapers, as you already know.

That's all Mihara's words said, Yasuda Tatsuro already nodded frequently while puffing out his cigarette, saying, "I know."I don't know Sayama very well, but I often chat with him.Because Department XX is my customer and bought a lot of goods, that's the relationship. Sanyuan Xin said, sure enough, Yasuda Company has business dealings with the XX Department, and this is the clue. Mr. Sayama, sorry.Good character.I really never thought that a man like him would fall in love with a woman to death.Yasuda's tone seemed quite emotional. It was about Mr. Sayama. Mihara took out the notebook from his pocket and asked while flipping through it. It is said that you saw Mr. Sayama getting on the train with a woman on the platform of Tokyo Station.I heard about it from the waitress at Xiaoxue Restaurant.

That's right, Yasuda got up from the sofa, leaned forward and said, it was dusk at that time.Because I was going to Kamakura, the hostess at Koyuki Restaurant saw me off.At that time, I saw Sayama and Ah Shi boarding the express train on the opposite platform.I saw it first and told them to watch it too.I know both the man and the woman.So I was a little surprised.How these two people can be so intimate is really unexpected.The world is said to be vast, but it is actually very narrow. Perhaps because of the smoke, Yasuda narrowed his eyes slightly. At that time, no one could have imagined that the two of them were on a death trip.This thing is miserable.Love shouldn't be overdone.When he smiled, there was a smile in his eyes.

Has Mr. Sayama ever been to Xiaoxue Restaurant?Mihara asked. I don't remember.I often go to the restaurant because of my business, but I have never invited Mr. Sayama.Inviting an official to dinner will definitely attract a lot of gossip.Hahaha.Of course, from the standpoint of the Metropolitan Police Department, you wouldn't say that.Besides, isn't the corruption incident in the XX department making a big fuss! Some people believe that Sayama committed suicide to prevent the corruption incident from involving his superiors.Ah Shi, a woman, expressed sympathy for him, so she committed suicide together.What do you think of this view?

I can't figure it out, Yasuda made an expression that this is your duty.It's surprising, though, that the two are so close.Didn't think of it at all. Ah Shi, have you known this woman for many years? When I go to eat, she often greets me.I know her very well.However, this has no special meaning.In the door curtain of Xiaoxue Restaurant, she will accompany the wine.But there is no friendship outside the curtain at all.So, to say know, you can also say know.You can say you don't know, or you can say you don't know.For example, Sayama is her lover, I don't know at all.

Mihara raised another question, which is a very important one. Do you often go to Kamakura? Yasuda smiled slightly and said, the cheapest lives in Kamakura. Your wife? Her lungs are sick.I have lived alone since a long time ago.I rented a house next to the Kek Lok Si Temple and took a female worker there to recuperate.So I go about once a week. Yeah?I want to make you worry more. After Mihara said this, Yasuda bowed his head politely to express his gratitude, and asked, is there any question, is there anything else that needs to be known?Mihara couldn't think of a problem for a moment.

Thanks for the trouble.Mihara stood up, Yasuda also stood up from the sofa. Sorry, what I know may not be of any reference value.If you have anything else to ask, feel free to drop by.Yasuda Tatsurou narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said respectfully. Yasuda probably knew the four minutes.He often went to see his wife in Kamakura, and he must have discovered this key, which is quite possible.Mihara was thinking like this while hurrying on the road under the clear sky. two Go back to the Metropolitan Police Department and talk to Section Chief Kasai.This time it is not a comprehensive report, because the four-minute platform time is the most interesting, so I started talking about it, and then mentioned the meeting with Yasuda Tatsuro.

Unexpectedly, Section Chief Kasai's complexion was much more tense than expected. This is really interesting, the chief put his crossed hands on the table.There is such a thing, we have not thought of. Since the section chief was very interested, Mihara took out the timetables of the trains on platforms 13, 14, and 15 from his pocket, and showed them to him, explaining that the timetable was from 17:57 to 18:1 situation between points.Kasai held it in his hand and studied it enthusiastically. That's right, I see.You are so careful.The section chief looked at Mihara's face and expressed his praise.But Mihara was talking to himself, this is not his own ability, it was reminded by Torikai, an old detective from the Fukuoka Police Station.

The question is, this person named Yasuda arranged two witnesses for four minutes. Is this a coincidence, or is it a fabricated thing?The section chief used eyewitness nouns for four minutes, which is a good sentence.After listening to Mihara's explanation, he wrote down the following points on the paper: (1) Yasuda invited two waitresses to dinner the first day, which was a foreshadowing for going to Tokyo Station together the next day. (2) When eating, look at the watch again and again. (3) He caught that notable four-minute time just in time to reach platform thirteen. (4) It was Yasuda who found out that Sayama and Ah Shi were aboard the Chaofeng, and he told the two waitresses to watch.

After the section chief finished writing, like a primary school student, he tapped his cheek with the tip of a pencil and looked at the four points of analysis on the paper. Yes, Section Chief Kasai waited for a long time before speaking. This was not accidental, it was clearly arranged on purpose.Mihara looked at the section chief's eyes that kept turning.If it is arranged, it is important. important.The section chief replied immediately like a reflex.He closed his eyes and considered for a moment, then called out for an agent to come over.You go to investigate the ×× department, and see how deep the relationship between Yasuda Tatsuro, a machine manufacturer, is with them.

The agent agreed to come down, wrote his name in the blotter, and walked out. Then, the section chief used a speculative tone, and once again looked at the points he wrote. If Yasuda really arranged for witnesses, what was he doing for them?As he spoke, he lit a cigarette. Play tricks, of course, for their own benefit.It must be to protect some interests by arranging witnesses to let them see Sayama and Ah Shi take the express train bound for Hakata. It is necessary to arrange for on-site witnesses as third parties.Mihara thought for a while before answering. third party? yes.Yasuda's testimony alone is not enough.It must be seen by someone other than himself. So, Yasuda can't be counted as a third party? I think so.Mihara looked at the section chief with the look of "Isn't it like this?"The chief fell into deep thought. Well, let's do the research like this.The section chief is also confirmed.Sayama and Ah Shi fell in love near Hakata.The two of them took a special express train at Tokyo Station, and Yasuda himself got on the train and took two women with him, deliberately making them the third witnesses.This thing is strange! Mihara understood the meaning of the word strange used by the section chief.The two people who took the train to die in love could not arrange witnesses.Yasuda who does not want to be a third party, what role did he play in this love death incident?Mihara also had this question. All in all, there must be articles here. Must have.The chief also agreed.Judging from these conditions, everything can prove that Yasuda Tatsuro is arranging witnesses.However, we don't yet know why he did it.Since he wants to do this, he must have his purpose. However, as long as the incident he arranged is investigated clearly, his purpose will definitely be found.Mihara said. That's right, Section Chief Kasai replied.The two showed warm agreement. You think that Yasuda found that four-minute gap on purpose to take the two women to platform thirteen to watch the special express train on platform fifteen.Since it is for them to watch, why not go directly to platform 15?The section chief asked him questions like an exam. This is understandable.Platform No. 15 is the departure platform for long-distance trains, and if you go there, it will be too obvious.If you have something to go to Kamakura, it seems very natural to look over from the 13th platform.He had spent the four minutes with great painstaking effort in order to appear natural. The section chief smiled.That means approval. Oh, the report from the conductor of the Chaokaze on January 14 has arrived.said the section chief. Yeah?Mihara stretched out his body to look at it. Unfortunately, the conductor couldn't remember if there was a seat available.He has no memory of the past, this person can be regarded as confused.If he could remember things, wouldn't it be clear where Ah Shi got off the bus?
