Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Kidnapping

The sound seemed to come from somewhere far away.He clearly heard someone shouting in his ears: "Mr. Akizaki, Mr. Akizaki I" Ryuoshi suddenly opened his eyes. The landlady knelt beside the quilt, her pajamas were covered with a kimono, her shoulders were facing the light, and she remembered that the light had indeed been turned off when she was about to go to bed.Long Xiong gradually regained consciousness. "Mr. Akizaki, we have a guest!" Behind the landlady's aunt, there was Tamura Mitsuki's round face. "So it's you!" Long Xiong picked up the watch on his pillow and looked at it, it was just after three o'clock.

"You can really sleep!" Tamura Mikichi, with his short and fat body, sat down on his buttocks, his face was flushed, as if he had sung wine.In fact, it was not the case, the forehead was sweating profusely, and when he was excited, he would always snort like this, breathing heavily. "Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time? Who would break into someone's house in the middle of the night like you?" Seeing Long Xiong sit up, the landlady went downstairs. "You came here at this time, what happened?" "It's an emergency, you should read the newspaper first and clear your head."

Tamura took out a newspaper folded in four from his pocket, spread it out, pointed it with his index finger and said: "Latest news, city edition, morning paper freshly printed. Still smelling of ink. Look, here it is." Long Xiong stared intently.The title occupies four columns, and the font is larger than other titles. Law firm employee with criminal police background Shot dead in Shinjuku last night At about 11:50 on April 25th, a murder occurred in Yuzhi Hotel (owner Yudo Yuzhi, 41 years old) on XX Street, commonly known as XX Alley, in Shinjuku District.Two customers broke into the shop upstairs last night.One of them was shot dead and the other is at large, presumably the murderer.The prisoner was in his mid-thirties and was wearing a blue suit.Another customer was wearing a beret, about forty years old.After the two came to the hotel, the young man and the waitress Tzi (eighteen years old), went upstairs to play.People wearing berets wait inside the store.half an hour later. "Beret" went upstairs and called from the door.According to T's confession, the young man once said "this person is really disgusting", so he hid in the closet, making T lie that "he has left". The "beret" believed it and left the store for a while.The young man thanked his wife, gave him a thousand yuan, and asked him to go downstairs. After T went downstairs, he was entertaining guests in the store, and found that the "beret" had escaped from the outside, and heard a gunshot on the second floor. Tiao went to the stairs to check the movement, and saw the young man running down the stairs and was knocked to the ground.Later, the young people fled from the side of the hotel. Tzi went upstairs to look and found that "beret" was lying on the quilt and had been shot dead.Yuzhi Hotel called the "11 Mine" to call the police.Li Cun, Chief of the Detective Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department, led Sheriff Yaguchi and a group of people to the scene for investigation.The victim was shot once in the side, and after falling to the ground, was shot again in the mouth.There was a business card in the deceased's jacket pocket, which was printed with the words "Tamaru Toshiichi, staff member of XX Asenuma Law Firm in Azabu, Minato-ku". It was estimated to be the deceased himself.It is said that both of them came to Yuzhi Hotel for the first time.The Metropolitan Police Department set up a special task force at the Yodobashi Station to start searching for the murderer.Attorney Senuma is currently on a business trip, not in Tokyo.According to the officer on duty at the institute, the deceased Tian Maruhara, a serial policeman, joined the institute five years ago.The police are now taking statements from T, allegedly suspected of prostitution.The killer's weapon was a Colt pistol.After autopsy, the corpses have been taken out and will be carefully identified by the laboratory department.

"This news just happened to be published at 2 a.m. on the last page of the B newspaper. I happened to be on the night shift, and I was surprised when I received this news from a reporter stationed in the Metropolitan Police Department. Attorney Senuma is not your company's legal adviser ?" Yes, that's right. ——Yi Longxiong didn't make a sound, but only answered in his heart, as if speaking to himself.The drowsiness dissipated instantly.Long Xiong quickly concentrated his sloppy thinking power to one point. "Really? That lawyer Senuma." Tamura asked again.

"yes." —The beret, the man with the beret.I have seen him in the Red Moon Bar and in the waiting room of Tokyo Station.pharynx!correct.At that time, Lawyer Senuma was with him, talking about something. "I thought it had something to do with the incident of 'Scalping Tickets' in the capital company. No, it must have something to do with it. This is my intuition. Do you have any clues?" Tamura said hurriedly, spitting out his mouth. —Wait a minute.Long Xiong held his head and thought hard.So far, I have always regarded Lawyer Senuma as the opponent's person.It seems wrong.Since the staff of the firm have worked as criminal police officers, aren't they entrusted by lawyers to secretly investigate fraud cases?So, Senuma lawyer sent the "beret", the former detective, to investigate something. ——Li Xiong thought of this, and the figure of the "beret" in the Red Moon Bar and the waiting room of Tokyo Station appeared in front of his eyes.Lawyer Senuma talked with him in the waiting room, perhaps discussing something.Either listen to his report.

"Well——in this case, it's not that there are no clues." Long Xiong said suddenly while chasing his own train of thought. "Listen, Lawyer Senuma is probably also following that case. As expected of a lawyer, he has already started doing it without you knowing it. They have found clues to the fraudster. As a result, the former criminal policeman, During the follow-up, he was killed instead." Yes, it sure is. ——Long Xiong thought to himself.I was in a fog, and while I was still groping and hesitating, lawyer Senuma had already gone deep into the core of the case.This is the difference between insiders and outsiders.Long Xiong had to admit that he was beyond his power.No matter how motivated you are, you will always have more than enough energy.

"Lawyer Senuma went to Atami last night. It is said that it was a gathering of fellow lawyers. After learning the news, I immediately called him from the agency." Tamura continued. "Karma, is the lawyer here?" Long Xiong opened his eyes and asked. "Yes, he answered the phone himself." "How did he say?" "He said that the police called him just now. Tianmaru Toshiichi is indeed the person they are looking for, but whether the victim is himself can only be confirmed after going to the scene to identify the body. Tomorrow morning, that is, this morning, take the early train Back to Tokyo."

After hearing what Tamura said, Long Xiong felt strange.You can also take a taxi from Atami. Since such a big change happened, it should be as soon as possible. It's too leisurely to wait for the guide train.Does the party think it's nothing to do with the killing of our staff? "You didn't ask, did Toshiichi Tianmaru have any clues about why he was killed?" "Of course I asked. He said he didn't have any clues. It's too late for the lawyer's answer." Regarding the reason for the murder, he said that he had no clues, of course he was lying.The former detective was acting under the orders of Senuma's lawyer.The lawyer answered that way because he was afraid that the newspaper would be troublesome. In fact, the lawyer knew it very well.

Were they entrusted by the company to track down the "scammer" who defrauded 30 million yuan, or did they have other motives? In any case, Lawyer Senuma must have encountered the line of the right-wing organization that has ties with Fan Yingming.Because of this, when Long Xiong went to Tokyo Station to see the executive director off, lawyer Binma gave advice to Long Xiong: ——Dangerous things should be avoided as much as possible. He knew what Long Xiong was doing.And knew he was taking a big risk. There are two explanations here.Since he knew what Longxiong was doing, he might have heard from the executive director.Based on this, it is speculated that Lawyer Senuma's activities were entrusted by the company.

Another explanation, judging from the situation of the former criminal policeman and beret who soaked in the Red Moon Bar, is also deliberately searching around Zhouban Yingming. He took out his former criminal policeman's wrist and chased after the prisoner.The prisoner, cornered by pursuit, shot and killed the pursuer in turn.What is this for?Has the situation developed to the point where killing must be done? Seeing Tatsuo lost in thought, Tamura opened his thick lips again and said: "At dawn, Lawyer Senuma will return to Tokyo. He will go to the special case team to identify the body and see what he has to say. It's worth listening to. In this way, the case may be exposed. Anyway, this is a serious case." A homicide case. The police must thoroughly search for the culprit.”

"But why kill people?" "I'm afraid it's a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry." "At best, it's just a fraud case. Besides, the person who is being investigated is neither a policeman nor someone famous. He is just an employee of a law firm. Why would he want to kill him?" Long Xiong said. "This is where the depth of this case lies. No matter what you say, as long as Lawyer Senuma opens his mouth, he will always find clues. It has been a long time since I have encountered such a serious case. Thanks to your brother, I really don't want others Get there first." Tamura said, letting out a long breath.His small eyes shone with the ambition of a journalist. After a while, Tamura hurried back.Long Xiong sent him to the gate, and went back to the house to look at his watch, it was past four o'clock.He got into the bed, couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he lay down on the bed and smoked a cigarette.The broad shoulders of Tamura who had been sitting there just now seemed to be still in his vision. Long Xiong suddenly remembered Tong Tamura's meeting with Senator Iwao.Could it be that because of that meeting, Councilor Iwaki sent various reports to his accomplices?If it is a real job, the other party may have some movement.Could this murder be a symptom? —Wait a minute, Long Xiong closed his eyes and thought hard. Assuming that the prisoner is being chased by the criminal police, it can also be considered that he has received the alarm, but he will never send it out. Because it is not only related to him personally, but also has the potential to expose and destroy the organization behind him.So the criminal must escape from the law no matter what.So he counterattacked and fired. ——Is it possible to imagine such a thing? If this is the case, then the case was not planned but an accident.But even if it happened by accident, the other party must be extremely embarrassed.Because for the other party, this was an unplanned accident. Thinking of the end, Long Xiong found the matter very interesting.The enemy must be in a hurry, trying to make up for the aftermath, and there may be new trends. So, how did Tian Jiulishi, who had been a criminal policeman, find the "Scalper"?That guy must be the person calling himself "Horiguchi" who scammed Section Chief Sekino.Why did he sniff out that that person was Ruokou again?Especially difficult to understand.Long Xiong couldn't help sighing for others being so down-to-earth and thorough investigation.This is the exclamation of the layman to the well-trained connoisseur.In comparison, I feel ashamed. The stern face of the "beret" appeared in front of Long Xiong's eyes again at this moment.The first time he met him at the Red Moon Bar, he complained that the waitresses didn't like him.When he went there for the second time, he said that it was a little bit better and he was secretly pleased.He is naive and must go every night, but he is actually looking for someone.Like Long Xiong, he knows that the proprietress of the Red Moon Bar is Zhou Bao's wise friend, but Li Xiong is asking nonsense, but he is different, he is following the target. Long Xiong smoked another cigarette.He stared at the curling green smoke, and a new thought flashed through his mind. "Beret" Toshiichi Tiankuli, who was killed yesterday, once patted himself on the shoulder at Tokyo Station and said: "Let's go to the horse race together, there will be something you are interested in." He said "There will be something of interest to you" twice.At that time, Long Xiong didn't pay attention to it, but now he suddenly realized it.His watch clearly asked Long Xiong to see the person he was going to track down on the spot. This "beret" who has been a criminal police officer is very clear about the purpose of Long Tan's actions. Did he hear what lawyer Shionuma said? —It would have been better to go with him then.Since you can see what the liar looks like, the "beret" will not be killed. that's too regretful.He regretted that he hadn't understood his hint at the time.This is my own mistake. But, listening to him talk about horse racing beside me, who is that? Long Xiong thrust the cigarette into the ashtray violently. -right!It's the bartender at the Red Moon Bar! The evening paper reported the "Shinjuku Murder Case" as follows: Lawyer Toshizaburo Senuma returned to Beijing from Atami on the morning of the 26th, and immediately went to the task force of the Yodobashi Police Station in person.The family confirmed that the victim was indeed an employee of the law firm Yukeli City (38 years old), and answered the questions of the investigation chief of Keli Village one by one.However, the lawyer's statement did not touch on the core of the case.to the dismay of the authorities.Because of the mental fatigue of the family, he was ordered to go home temporarily, and then serve as a summons when necessary.Attorney Senuma claimed that he had entrusted Tian Jiuli City to investigate various cases.The reason for this unexpected event is hard to say.All the incidents investigated were entrusted by others, and the inside information should not be easily leaked. Lawyer Toshizaburo Senuma met three reporters from different newspapers at his home in the evening, and they went to his home one after another. "Mr. Senuma, Mr. Tianmaru was killed, do you have any clues?" the reporters asked. "About this point, you have already asked me in the task force during the day, and I have no clue." The lawyer replied indifferently. "The victim, Tian Maru, is an employee of Mr. Senuma's office. What kind of work does he do?" a reporter asked. "His work has no rules, it's miscellaneous. He does everything." "Have you entrusted him to investigate any cases?" "There have been." "Is it because Tianmaru was a criminal police officer and entrusted him to investigate some special matters?" "Although he used to be a criminal policeman, he was not asked to investigate special matters. That's your wild guess." Lawyer Dai Yu looked a little impatient. "What did you ask him to investigate recently?" "There is no comment on this matter. I must keep it a secret for my client." "Today you went to the task force, have you been asked this question?" "As for what question was asked, I can't answer it. Even if it is a police inquiry, my answer has its limits. First of all, why was he killed? I don't know. Maybe it's because of personal problems, or even a quarrel after drinking." "It's definitely not a drunken quarrel." A reporter said angrily.He was Mikichi Tamura, sweating from his nose. "According to the store, Tianmaru is indeed tracking the other party, and it may be related to a certain case." "It's just your imagination." The lawyer glared at the angry Tamura. Tamura originally wanted to ask in depth about "a certain case", but because he was afraid that reporters from other agencies would find out, he endured it and did not continue to cooperate. "It seems that you are really hard to speak." Other reporters said mockingly. "It's not intentional to conceal, I don't want to say more before the matter has no clue." The lawyer said timidly. "What do you mean by 'having a clue'?" a reporter asked sternly. "That depends on how the authorities' investigation progresses." "I think that, if Mr. Senuma speaks frankly, that's what the police want. But you seem to be afraid of this. Play that, and refuse to speak out." On such occasions, this was the sharpest question Tamura could ask.The other party really responded. Lawyer Senuma was taken aback and looked at Tamura, who was dripping with sweat.For a moment, a doubtful light flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his gaze to the side. "Will the task force summon you tomorrow?" "I haven't heard of it. I'm waiting for a summons at any time." After speaking, the reporters left the lawyer's residence. Everyone is dissatisfied.Someone said: "What a strange thing." Others felt the same way. I didn't understand until later.Why is Lawyer Senuma so timid. At eight o'clock in the evening, lawyer Toshizaburo Senuma took his own car and left home to keep a vigil for the murdered staff member Tian Kyuri. Tianmaru's house is in Osaki.It takes twenty-five minutes to walk from the lawyer's house to his house.According to the driver's later testimony, the lawyer usually talked to him in the car, but he remained silent that night, as he always did when he was thinking, so the driver didn't care. At Tian Jiulishi's home, because the body was sent for an autopsy and was not retrieved, only photos were placed on the altar.Such a vigil without a coffin seems quite unpleasant.After the autopsy, the body was sent for cremation. Even so, the cramped Tianmaru house was still crowded with bereaved family members, neighbors, relatives and old friends, including colleagues from the office. Lawyer Senuma bowed to the photo on the altar and expressed his condolences to the bereaved editor.The two children beside me are a sixteen-year-old boy and an eleven-year-old girl.While pronouncing the law, Yibo bowed her head to her husband's employer, Attorney Senuma.The lawyer said that he should give generous pensions as much as possible. The lawyer left the altar and sat down among the guests who were watching.At this time, he just started to chant sutras. He closed his eyes and listened to the sutras. At the same moment, a man hurriedly approached the lawyer's own car that was parked outside the door.The driver later only remembered that the man came out of Tian Jiu's house, wearing a black suit, but he had no memory of his appearance.Perhaps it was because the lights outside were dim at night, but more importantly, the driver had no doubts about the man. "Are you Mr. Lu Senuma here?" The man asked through the window of the driver's seat. The driver who was tunneling hurriedly raised his head and replied: "yes." "Mr. said that he would keep the vigil until tomorrow morning, and ordered the car to drive back first." The man spoke clearly, and by the sound of his voice, he was about thirty years old. "Mr. also said that tomorrow morning he will go directly to XX University for an autopsy. The Metropolitan Police Department will send a car by then, so you don't have to come to ground." After listening, the driver nodded and said: "Thank you, I've now understood." Then he drove the car and returned to the lawyer's house twenty-five minutes later to tell the lawyer's family about the situation. At this time, the lawyer himself sat and listened to the chanting.After listening for about half an hour, I suddenly heard someone whispering in my ear: "Mr. Senuma." The lawyer opened his eyes and saw a man in a black suit with a black veil wrapped around his arms kneeling beside him. "There is something I want to discuss with the general manager, can I ask you to come out?" The voice is very soft, very attentive. The lawyer thought he was a relative of the Tao family, so he probably wanted to talk about the pension. He nodded and stood up, and followed the man quietly out of the small room. Everyone present saw him go out.The people in the firm thought that he left to discuss something with the bereaved family, while the bereaved family thought that the lawyer had something to discuss with the staff before leaving. Since then, the two have never returned to their original place. After twelve o'clock, the guards left one after another, leaving only relatives and old friends behind.No one was surprised that the lawyer was absent. However, only two or three people saw Lawyer Senuma in the end.That is the neighbor of Tian Jiu's family.On the night of the twenty-sixth, they stood in front of the unfortunate man's house, chatting while watching the vigil. At that time, three people walked out from the back door of Tian Jiu's house. They did not walk separately, but held arms with each other.If you look carefully, you will find that the person in the middle is being carried by the left and right sides.Because it was dark and I couldn't see the face clearly, I only saw that the person in the middle was shorter than the people on both sides, and he was a fat man.This observation works.Judging from his figure, it fits the characteristics of Lawyer Lai Lei.It was around nine o'clock, which is also consistent from the time point of view. The three of them walked silently and got into the car parked beside them.The door was opened by the driver.It seemed to be a large sedan, and it was hard to tell whether it was a foreign car or a domestic car, nor could it distinguish the type of body.The car is parked in a dark place, so it is even more difficult to judge whether it is a self-provided car or a chartered car.The car had come twenty minutes ago and had been parked there with its lights off.The three got into the car and drove towards the national highway.Witnesses nearby thought they were mourners and watched them drive away. Since I have the lawyer's message, I don't think it's surprising that he doesn't come back in the morning.I thought the lawyer went directly to the anatomy room of XX University, and then went to work in the firm. At about two o'clock, the special case team of the Yodobashi Police Station called the law firm, saying that they had a few questions to ask and asked the lawyer to go there, which caused a commotion. "Mr. went to XX University to conduct an autopsy on Tianmaru-kun. He said that the police asked him to go." The clerk who answered the phone said. "We asked him to go? We didn't ask him to drink. Besides, the autopsy has been completed, and the body was returned to the family members this morning." The other party said so on the phone. "But, that's what Mr.'s house said on the phone." "Really? Then let's call and ask." The special case team immediately called the lawyer's home, and Mrs. Senuma answered, and only then did they know the situation.To be on the safe side, they went to XX University to inquire and answered that Lawyer Senuma had never been there. Seventeen hours had passed since nine o'clock last night. The criminal police of the special case team hurried to Senuma's house, and after asking the driver about the situation, they went to Tianmaru Toshiichi's house. "We don't know the person who was looking for Mr. Senuma. We thought it was someone from the office." Tianmaru's wife replied, and the people in the office said: "We thought they were relatives of the bereaved family." At that time, several neighbors were standing at the back door and saw what happened, and only heard from there later. The police wanted to investigate the model of the car based on the tire marks.However, for four or five consecutive days, the weather was fine and the ground was dry, making it difficult to identify. It can be speculated that Lawyer Senuma was tricked into the car by someone and kidnapped. According to eyewitnesses, judging from the postures of the three, the lawyer must have been threatened, his arms were clamped, and he was driven away by a car without daring to make a sound. The task force agreed that the kidnapper was related to the murder of Tian Jiuli City. By 3:30 in the afternoon, the task force concluded that the disappearance of lawyer Senuma Toshizaburo was abducted.Some people in the special case group advocated that it should not be made public for the time being and that the investigation should be carried out in secret first, but most of the opinions believed that it is better to publish it in the newspapers in order to report it to ordinary witnesses.So it was four o'clock in the afternoon to release the news to the press corps. Of course, this news was too late to be published in the evening papers.At that time, Tatsuo Akisaki was working at the Showa Electric Manufacturing Company. The Accounting Section Chief has been replaced by Section Chiefs from other Sections. Long Xiong put the pre-prepared resignation letter in an envelope and put it in front of the new section chief. "What's going on?" The section chief asked in surprise, taking out half of the resignation letter from the envelope. "It's a letter of resignation." Long Xiong replied with his head bowed. "Why?" There were other staff members beside him, and the section chief asked in a low voice. "I'm not in good health. The company is very busy, and it's not appropriate to take too long a break, so I want to quit." As soon as Long Xiong finished speaking, the section chief turned his face and said: "The reason for your rest, the manager has already discussed with me. The manager is quite guilty of Section Chief Guan Ye's suicide. He said that he did not reprimand Section Chief Guan Ye at that time. I heard that he can't sleep well now." The first time Long Xiong heard this, he thought to himself, maybe this is the truth. "The manager isn't here now, so I'll leave this with me for the time being." The section chief put the envelope in the back of the drawer and said. "Then please." "Okay, let's clean up the table after the matter is settled." Long Xiong nodded with a wry smile. Come to the company, perhaps today is the last time.When I think of this, everything I see feels fresh, and I can't help feeling a lot of emotion in my heart. "Ah, hello!" "How are you?" Colleagues who didn't know the inside story met him and patted him on the shoulder to greet him.Because the ostensible reason for Long Xiong to ask for leave is to "recover from illness". Suddenly a feeling of loneliness and desolation came to his heart, and Long Xiong strode out of the company gate. If the company no longer grants leave, then the only option is to resign.To lose this good job right now is not only a pity, but also absurd.However, for a goal, for a burning belief, there is no room for retreat.I'm still young, even if I do such a stupid thing once in my life, it's worth it. Dusk has descended on Ginza.Neon lights are shining. Long Xiong stood for a while, looking at the crowd, then crossed the main road and walked towards the alley where the Red Moon Bar was located.There was the sound of "choke, choke" leather shoes under his feet.The sense of loneliness just now has faded away, and some kind of hope surges in my heart. Qiuwan Longxiong pushed open the door of Red Moon Bar and walked in.Unlike usual, it was still early and there were very few customers.Cigarette smoke is not as strong as it used to be. "You're here." The waitress greeted him. One of them came up and said: "Long time no see you." With a flat face, I still vaguely remember You Xiong. "Sit over here." Lead Long Xiong into an empty box seat.Come early and seats are available.Three or four waitresses also surrounded them. "What do you want?" "Whiskey and soda bar." "OK." Long Xiong wiped his face with the hand towel he brought over, and glanced at the counter as if nothing had happened.Two men in white uniforms were busy at the counter.The younger one had met before, the other was a stranger. No, not him.The bartender has changed.The one in front of me, about forty, is a fat guy in glasses, shaking a shiny silver cocktail mixer, not the long-faced thirty-something I've seen before, who chatted with "Beret" about horse racing Come on, be vivid and vivid, with piercing eyes. ——As expected: Long Xiong's heart was pounding. "Have you not been here for a long time?" said the flat-faced waitress. "Yeah, business is busy!" — This middle-aged fat bartender must be new here.The original one probably quit his job. To ask, or not to ask?Lixiong was quite suspicious in his heart that Zhu Min would ask the meeting as soon as he sat down. "Thanks to you, the house will be full of guests after a while." "That's a good thing." Long Xiong glanced around, but the proprietress was not there. "Where is the lady boss?" "I'll be right back, take it easy." return?So she's out?Where did you go? ——Long Xiong pondered, finally made up his mind and asked: "You seem to have a new bartender here, don't you?" Long Xiong turned his face to the counter and looked at it calmly, but there was phlegm stuck in his throat for a day. "Well, the original one resigned and quit." The answer was straightforward. "Oh, when did you quit?" This question was ill-considered. "Two days ago, I asked for leave first, and then Suoxing quit." two days ago. ——Long Xiong was thinking in his heart.I met "Beret" at Tokyo Station that day, and he was killed that night. "Why didn't you do it?" "I don't know. Are you familiar with Yamamoto?" "That's right, it's called Yamamoto, and I didn't say the surname Horiguchi. He must have used many aliases on different occasions." "Not very familiar. But that person is very easy-going and can socialize. I don't know where he is now?" "Then I don't know. Anyway, bartenders, like us waitresses, have to change bars from time to time. It won't be long before someone mentions which bar he's shaking the shaker at again." "Yes." About that bartender, the flat-faced waitress probably knew so much, it was not appropriate to ask further.Long Xiong picked up the whiskey and soda and drank it. After eight o'clock, customers came in one after another.The waitress went to greet her regular customers of 01.Beside Long Xiong, there was only an unfamiliar and honest novice sitting there blankly. This just makes it easier for him to think about the problem. His intuition told him that Eho, surnamed Yamamoto, was the prisoner who killed the "beret", and he might also be the "big scalper" who called himself "Rikou".His job is to cheat, and the bartender is his disguise.No, his profession is a bartender, and he has become a "big scalper" at some point.In short, the man was cunning.But manipulating him behind the scenes is a bigger figure. The customers are getting more and more crowded, and it is impossible to sit alone all the time. Going outside, in the narrow alley, there are many people coming and going in and out of various bars. As soon as I walked to the busy street, a taxi stopped in front of me with a squeak.Inadvertently glanced at the woman who opened the door and stepped out of the car, Long Xiong couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart.He quickly moved his body aside. That's right, it's Yutsuko Quansaki.Stand outside the car and wait for the driver to give you some change.The driver dawdled, and she stood there for a full minute. The colorful lights on the street illuminated her profile.In the light and shade, the outline of the face has a three-dimensional effect and looks very beautiful.The body is graceful and extremely well-proportioned.Long Xiong seemed to have just discovered it, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart: "It's so beautiful!" At this time, Long Xiong's mood was indescribably chaotic. Looking down, Jinzi hurriedly walked towards the alley of the Red Moon Bar. The car is still there.The driver is filling out the driving schedule.Long Xiong thought suddenly, and walked to the side of the car. "Where are you going?" "Aoyama." Just said a place name. The car starts.Drive across the Capitol from Hibiya on a dark road.Long Xiong looked at the driver's face, he was a middle-aged man, and he looked honest, so he asked: "Driver, where did the guest who got off at Ginza just get on?" "Is that the female passenger?" The driver said still looking ahead, "The car on Haneda." "Haneda? Is it the airport?" Longxiong wondered, did Uesaki Etsuko come back from other places by plane?However, when I got out of the car, I didn't have a suitcase or any luggage on hand. "Is it the guest who just got off the plane?" "I'm afraid not. It may be to see off passengers. There was no plane arriving at that time. There is a last flight to Nagoya at 7:30. I guess it is to see off." "Fat, you are very familiar with the situation at the airport." "My car is always parked at the airport." "Oh, that's right." Who will Uesaki Etsuko see off?Nagoya, Nagoya. ——Long Xiong muttered in his mouth, the driver thought he was talking to him, "Ah!", and slowed down the speed a little. Long Xiong ordered the car to drive back to Youle Street, and got off in front of the newspaper office.It was a sudden decision on his part. Not knowing whether Tamura was at the newspaper office, Long Xiong walked into the gate of the newspaper office with doubts in his heart.The girl in the reception room was replaced by a doorman, and Dai Longxiong called the editorial department. Tiancun was still there, so Longxiong heaved a sigh of relief and took out a cigarette. Before smoking half a cigarette, Tamura ran downstairs panting.The glasses slid down the shiny bridge of the nose. "Hey," he patted Long Xiong's shoulder and said, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you." "Me too." Long Xiong pushed Tamura, "Come with me to Haneda immediately." "Haneda?" Tamura widened his eyes and said, "What's the matter? Are you going to the airport?" "It's related to that case. We'll talk about the details after we get in the car. Can we go?" "It's nothing, as long as it's related to the case. Use the car in the agency. Just wait a moment, and I'll come as soon as I tell the editorial department." Tamura Mankin's fat body, the shirt almost ran out of the waistband of his trousers, he lifted his trousers and turned around. In less than ten minutes, the two sat side by side in the special car of the newspaper office and came out. "What are you going to Haneda for?" Tamura asked anxiously. "A person involved in the case went to Nagoya on a Japan Airlines flight. It is nine o'clock now, and left an hour and a half ago at seven-thirty." "Is it a man or a woman?" "I don't know yet, go to Haneda Airport and check the passenger list now. Do you have a business card with the title of newspaper reporter?" After Long Xiong finished speaking, Tamura let out a long breath. "How did you know?" Tamura asked naturally.But Long Xiong refused to speak directly, he did not want to say Uesaki Etsuko's name.Very reluctantly.It can be said that from then on, he subconsciously shielded Uesaki Etsuko in his heart. "I'll tell you later. Find a way out now." In a hurry, there was no excuse, so he prevaricated a few sentences.The pretext is a bit unsatisfactory, but it is also a kind of expression. "You mean the person related to the case, do you mean the murderer who killed the former criminal policeman?" This question gets to the heart of the matter. "Not sure, but I feel like it is. I think 'Smoker' and the murderer are the same person." As Long Xiong said, the face of the bartender at the Red Moon Bar appeared in front of his eyes.I can't tell Tamura about this, and I have to wait a while before telling him. Tamura's eyes seemed to be thinking about something. "That's interesting. Nagoya? What's going on in Nagoya?" Long Xiong didn't know this at the moment, he just relied on his own imagination.It was someone who asked someone to go to Nagoya to hide from the limelight.The so-called certain person is the same person who instigated him to cheat and manipulated behind the scenes. "Just now Zuo said something to tell me, what is it?" As soon as Long Tan mentioned it, Tian Cun said in a hurry, almost spattering. "Tell you, Lawyer Senuma has been kidnapped." "What? Really?" "Do you think it's a lie to you? It will be in the newspaper tomorrow morning." From Youle Street to Haneda, the car drove for half an hour.On the way, Tamura explained in detail how Lawyer Senuma was kidnapped. "What do you think about this?" Tamura finally asked. "Well, lawyer Senuma must know why his staff was killed, because the lawyer sent him there." Longxiong said with his arms crossed. "Investigate what?" "Of course it was the fraud case. I have always regarded the lawyer as their accomplice. Now it seems that it is obviously not the case. The lawyer and the others finally found out who the prisoner was after a thorough investigation. At the same time, they also met the prisoner's backstage boss— Yi Zhou is a right-winger. The people under the lawyer were killed during the investigation, and he knew exactly who did it. So he was terrified. I read the newspaper that day and thought the lawyer’s attitude was very strange. Such a sudden incident happened The accident, he should have come back by car that night." "Lawyer Senuma is really scared." "I think so. He once advised me that things were dangerous and to stop. He knew very well that the enemy was terrible." "The other party was probably also afraid of the lawyer, afraid that he would show his mouth, so he kidnapped him." "Does the Metropolitan Police Department know that this case is related to right-wing forces?" "I'm afraid they don't know yet. But the lawyer was kidnapped, and they probably realize that this case is serious. The task force is in a mess." "You didn't tell them what you knew." Tamura smiled softly through his nose. "I'm going to compete with the police. I must beat them. This case is getting more and more interesting." Tamura's heavy breath came to Long Xiong's cheeks. Cars drive through residential streets and across dark fields.Driving from downtown Tokyo to this open and flat area feels like driving into the plains.On the other side of the airport, the buildings looked small, dotted with lights.Air traffic control lights lined up in a straight line, shining into the night sky.The wind was strong, blowing in through the window. "Haneda is here." Tamura looked at him and said. Cars drive around the side of the track.The buildings in the distance are like flowing water, getting closer and closer, and the visual objects are getting bigger and bigger. 机场一长溜的建筑物，最靠近的是日航办事处。快十点了。里面的灯还都亮着。 两人下了车，急急忙忙走进去。 一长排柜台前，挂着航线的牌子，只有一个办事员坐在桌前，一见到他们俩，便站了起来。都这样晚了，这儿没有别的旅客。 田村递上名片。 “今晚七点三十分有班飞机去名古屋，我们想看一下乘客登记名册。” 年轻的办事员拿着名片，看了看满头大汗的田村，说道： “有关报道方面的事吗？” “是的。请让我们看一下。”
