Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Wind Patterns on the Dunes

Tsutomu Hayama, who carried out the abduction of Mariko Kamiya, was arrested and sent to a hospital in Nouméa, where he died due to a cervical spine injury that could not be cured, before regaining consciousness. After the local situation report came up, at 1 pm on July 21, relevant personnel held an emergency consultation meeting in Ji Wu Zezhi's room at the Supreme Court. The people present at the meeting included the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Bureau of the National Police Agency, the Criminal Director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Criminal Director of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, and Yoshitake Noriyuki and Tamura Ryosuke.

Since this incident was originally brought here by Ji Wu, it was also a secret investigation conducted by the local procuratorate.It was only because personnel from the Police Department and the Metropolitan Police Department were sent to Noumea later, so the subsequent actions were considered to be a joint investigation involving the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Prosecutor's Office. It is difficult to think that this abduction incident was committed by Hayama Tsutomu alone.From the investigation around Yushan, there was no clear motive for committing the crime, and suspicious points were also found in terms of money. Therefore, it strongly suggested that behind Yushan Jin, there were signs of the activities of the first criminal.

This person provided the kidnapper Tsutomu Hayama with the necessary funds, approached Mariko in a planned way, and finally carried out a successful abduction. The subsequent emails are most likely his instigation. After Hayama was arrested, the Nouméa police confiscated his belongings, including a forged passport in the name of a Chinese, a model pistol, and nearly one million yuan in cash including several French Pacific francs and Japanese yen. , round-trip air tickets from Noumea to Sydney, mobile phones and laptops, etc., the main equipment involved in the case. In the laptop, the relevant information has been deleted, but since it is still stored in the "recycle bin", it can still be recovered.

The text messages sent and received have also been deleted from the mobile phone, but they can still be seen through the telecommunications company.The remnants of Yu Shanqin were also handed over to the Japanese police.It will be investigated in detail by professional departments. At the Noumea police station, Bo?After Layou's hiding place was locked, the villa's phone has been tapped.However, until Tsutomu Hayama was arrested for 10 hours, there was no phone call.However, at the request of the Japanese side, he still turned on his computer and mobile phone and kept them unobstructed.Because of his accomplice, he will not know the news that Yushan has died.

Nouméa and Japan still hope not to announce the incident to the public and continue to investigate.Regarding the death of Tsutomu Hayama, the two sides also agreed: to report on the accidental death of a Japanese tourist due to a car accident. Another special thing: the date of Misaki Uemura's sentencing.After Hayama was arrested and Mariko was rescued, shortly after 10:30 am on July 21, Director Ichinomiya of the Tokyo District Court called Yoshitake.He said that Masayoshi Kamiya, the judge in charge of hearing Misaki Uemura's case, filed an application for withdrawal from the court on the morning of June 29.For the safety of the hostages, it was only presented and completed today.Therefore, the expected sentencing will not be carried out, and the sentencing time will be determined after the retrial letter is delivered to the defendant, the procuratorate, and the lawyer.

Since this incident has attracted the attention of the society from the beginning of its occurrence, the date of the sentencing has already been known.Once the sentence is postponed, the criminal will inevitably be informed, so it is very difficult to conceal it, and of course it is meaningless. As a result of the consultation, it was decided to continue the secret investigation in the five days before July 26, and on this basis, set up a special search headquarters on July 27 to disclose the truth of the incident. As a result, more than a dozen people, collectively known as the special case team, were formed from the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department to combat special crimes such as abduction, bombing, and intimidation, and began to conduct careful investigations.The first offender in this abduction incident should meet the following conditions:

1. Those who wish to have Misaki Uemura's sentence reduced; 2. Those who have social relations with Hayama Tsutomu; 3. Those who know the family situation of Judge Kamiya; 4. Those who have certain financial resources. As a means of finding out the person with the above conditions, the police thoroughly investigated the affairs and people around Uemura Misaki and Hayama Tsutomu, found out their friendship relationship, especially the common relationship, and found out the people around Judge Kamiya Masayoshi. people and things. Misaki Uemura's experience, etc., have been clearly stated in the public judgment materials.However, after the abduction incident, no investigation has been conducted on the people and things around her.Of course, criminals will act with extreme caution, but today, when the hostages have been rescued, rather than worrying about being discovered by criminals, the police's investigation at this time is far more important than collecting evidence.

Misaki Uemura, 33 years old this year, married Yabe, who was 7 years older than herself, from the same company when she was 21 years old. The two divorced two years later.Then, it is also necessary to grasp the situation of Yabe later and now. A year and a half after her divorce, she spent eight years alone as an Anderson agent. As a witness of Misaki Uemura's life and work, the company's Hiroo agency president Yamauchi Yaxiong was summoned to court.He denied rumors that Misaki Uemura had a boyfriend affair. "Not at all. The company's business is very busy, and there are also a lot of business going out. We have no time to observe the private lives of employees."

In the Yoyogi agency store, the female president and other female employees also kept tight-lipped about the police officers who came to inquire about the news.Of course, as a store owner, I don't want to be involved in this kind of case, because once this case is involved, it will have a bad impact on customers.But the police finally found out the name of a housewife who had worked with Misaki Uemura before, was married, and retired from work at home. Investigators interviewed the housewife.From her mouth, I learned about a customer who often takes care of Misaki Uemura's business.

"At that time, it must have been the second year when Uemura Misaki came to the Yoyogi agency. A company called 'Morifuji' ordered bonsai from our store when the Yoyogi branch opened. Goods. I was mainly in charge of the reception, and Misty also came to help. At that time, I found out that she was attracted by the business of 'Molifuji'. She was a very well-connected person, so in the future, they often When events are held in restaurants or clubs, they come to take care of our store. Of course, the sales performance of Misaki is constantly increasing. That 'Molifuji' is an agency company that operates the franchised catering industry."

Regarding Hayama Tsutomu's experience and friendship, the special team - Haruko Tsujimura and Nuo Hasegawa of the District Prosecutor's Office are also conducting a thorough investigation. Tsutomu Hayama and his classmates from the same university worked as musicians for three years. After they disbanded, they worked as models for about a year. Later, they worked as bartenders in a small club in Shinjuku. From 1985 to 1988, the club where Tsutomu Hayama worked also closed down.The investigators came to Shinjuku 3-chome, found the club in that building, conducted a detailed investigation, and found the mother-san of the club that Hayama worked for back then. That mother-san closed the club because of her age, and lived alone in an apartment in Machida City.Investigators asked her about some of Hayama's clients back then. "He is a handsome man and young, so he is very popular with guests." She also recalled that Hayama Tsutomu did have three or four guests who were very fond of him.Among them is Hideto Morifuji, the business director of Mori Fuji Agency. "I remember the director said, you are a promising material, it's a pity that you are only shaking the shaker here, it's better for you to be a model." Thus, a mutual friendship between Misaki Uemura and Tsutomu Hayama appeared—Hideto Morito. On that night, the Shinjuku Bureau established a special search headquarters, which was July 27.Originally, the search headquarters should be set up in the police station where the crime occurred. However, because the police station in Hongo, Bunkyo Ward, where the victim Kamiya Mariko is located, was too small, it had to be set up in the larger Shinjuku police station. Department.Including the special search team sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, a total of more than 50 people participated in this investigation. At the same time, Ryosuke Tamura also participated as a member of the Criminal Headquarters of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, two older police officers suddenly came to Kosuge's Tokyo Detention Center.To Misaki Uemura who has not yet been judged, we hear matters other than case.In the detention center, separate rooms have been prepared. Misaki Uemura was brought in by the guards and sat on the designated chair.She changed from her black outfit in court to a white sweatshirt and blue sweatpants today.Her long hair was casually combed back into a ponytail; her duck-egg-shaped face had fair skin due to not seeing the sun for many days; some crow's feet had grown at the corners of her eyes.After living in the detention center for a long time, he seemed somewhat exhausted and exhausted, but his whole body was still full of youthful spirit. "Today was your sentencing date, but it was postponed, and we brought the notice of retrial." The inspection minister said calmly, and then he asked Misaki Shangmura, "Knowing this, what do you think? " Misaki Uemura tilted her head forward slightly, with a puzzled look on her face. "Today is something else, I want to ask you about it." The inspector's tone remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed on Misaki Uemura's facial expression.He took out a photo of Tsutomu Hayama from the envelope, and suddenly placed it in front of Misaki Uemura. "Asshole, do you know this guy?" Uemura Misaki looked surprised and looked at the policeman. She immediately resumed her previous look, shook her head at the inspection minister and said, "No, I don't know him." "No, you don't know this person?" "Maybe I've seen it in previous jobs, but I can't remember." This photo is an advertising portrait of Jun Hanekawa when he was a model. If there are women who know him to some extent, they should not forget him. "And what about this man?" The inspection minister took out another slightly blurred photo.These are some photos that the police found from the mother-san in Machida City.It's a Polaroid snapshot from the past at the club.It is a photo of a guest who was particularly close to Tsutomu Hayama. There were also two or three of them, smiling and drinking in front of the bar, and among them was Hideto Morito. At that time, Hideto Morito was probably only in his 30s, but his rough face and the mustache under his nose were very obvious.The photo shown to Misaki Uemura was a single enlarged photo of Hideto Morito's face from one photo. When she got it in her hand, Misaki Uemura's expression was shocked.This point was clearly seen by the inspector minister.Misaki Uemura looked down at the photo, unable to lift her head for a long time.But she still shook her head. "Why, don't you know this person?" "The photo... is somewhat blurry..." "You can probably tell who it is, right?" "This...?" Misaki Uemura still shook her head blankly. "In 1992, when you opened the Molifuji store, after you met him because of your business relationship, he often provided convenience for your business..." "Ah, by the way...the executive director of Molly Vodge? At that time...he was so young..." Uemura Misakko took a deep breath, and gradually raised her face.There was a little flush on the pale face, and the eyes became moist because of the excitement. "Have you met recently?" "No!..." Misaki Uemura shook her head resolutely. "Bastard, remember it carefully!..." The inspector reposed his posture and asked, "Actually, another case has occurred related to your case, which is a crime of a very heinous nature that we have never seen before. .” "Ah?..." Hearing these words, Uemura Misaki raised her head slightly, raised her eyelids, and glanced at the policeman lightly. "Do you want to know?..." The inspector deliberately lured Misaki Uemura. Misaki Uemura shook her head timidly, staring blankly at the sky.Since the abduction incident and the search were announced to the media at 1:00 p.m. today, they had to be published in the evening paper at the earliest.There are unsentenced prisoners in the detention center who subscribe to newspapers at their own expense, but if the evening papers do not arrive, of course Misaki Uemura will not know.She would not know who committed a kidnapping incident for herself, or did not know at all that someone was committing such a crime for herself. Testing her reflexes could provide clues for future investigations. Therefore, the inspection minister explained to her the ins and outs of the abduction incident, and told her that a suspect died accidentally during the arrest. "That's the man, don't you know him?" The inspector's questioning tone became severe, "His name is Hayama Tsutomu, also known as Hanekawa Jun. Haven't you heard of it from Molifuji's executive director? " "No." Uemura Misaki still shook her head stubbornly. "That is to say: in order to reduce your sentence, the criminal used abduction methods, and as a result, an accomplice died. Didn't you let someone do it?!..." "It's not me at all!..." Misaki Uemura resolutely denied it, trembling all over. "Then, who would want your sentence to be reduced, and who on the other hand is worried that you will be sentenced to death?... You should understand in your heart!..." The inspector said coldly. "This?..." Uemura Misaki still hesitated. "These were all caused by your crimes. You killed a young mother, a young girl, and a fetus before it was born. These crimes, no matter how much you apologize, will not work!  … ...Haven't you thought about the outcome of this incident from your heart?..." "I..." Misaki Uemura gradually felt at the end of her words. "If this matter cannot be resolved justly, then people's trust in the law will be shaken, and society will be unstable. If you keep silent, your testimony will become worse and worse. It will inevitably form a challenge to the law. Do you think this is right?... Ms. Misaki Uemura, if you are more or less kind and have a little bit of kindness, you should confess all the facts and assist us in the investigation. You don’t think so Do you also do your own duty or compensation for the dead?" When Uemura Misaki heard this, she suppressed her inexpressible emotions, covered her face with her hands, and began to sob softly. After waiting for a while, the Minister of Inspection raised his voice again, and asked in a conquering tone: "What is your relationship with Hideto Morito? Who do you think is the mastermind of this kidnapping incident?... What else do you have to hide? " But in the middle of the question, Misaki Uemura stopped whimpering, staring blankly at the inspector as if she had lost her soul. The inspector, whose emotions had been mobilized, suddenly said loudly in a very passionate tone: "Bastard, do you still have a little conscience?!...Even if you are sentenced to death, you don't want someone who Can I sympathize with you?!..." As a result, some luster appeared in Misaki Uemura's eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face. "That's enough," she said to herself. "What?..." The inspection minister stared at Misaki Uemura with wide-eyed eyes. "The result is not important anymore..." "What's the meaning?" Uemura Misaki's whole body made some preparatory movements, smiled again, and her expression became dazed again. "That person..." Before that, she didn't know anything, but today she understood what "agreement" meant. The next day, at 10 a.m. on July 28, two police officers came to the office of lawyer Naka Shinichiro after making an appointment.His office is located in Yamanote Street in Hatsuya, Shibuya District, in a quiet residential area behind the hillside. Yesterday evening's TV program and this morning's morning paper reported that at the end of June, the daughter of a judge of the Tokyo District Court was abducted, and at the same time he himself received a threat letter from a criminal.The letter requested that the defendant's sentence be reduced in the case he was trying. As a result of a joint investigation conducted by the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office and the Metropolitan Police Department, on July 21, they arrested a person hiding in the new?criminals at a villa on the island of Caledonia and managed to free the hostages.However, the news media did not disclose how to further investigate the next step and the names of the people involved. The search headquarters decided: to listen directly to Nakashin Ichiro's opinion, because he realized that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, and on the one hand, he was not mentally prepared and prepared for various evidences. Therefore, a sudden visit may make him leak Come up with some clues. The police officers were brought into the reception room, and after a while, Nakashin Ichiro appeared.He is 52 years old and has a fat body. When he unbuttoned the front of his suit, he saw that he was wearing a green shirt with an open collar, with a big belly under the restraint of the belt. "Have you watched the TV programs and newspapers, right?" A police officer quickly cut to the chase, "The incident in the report was defended by Mr. Uemura Misakiko." Nakashin Ichiro nodded. "Let's cut to the chase: Who is the client who entrusted Mr. to defend?" "This is the same as what is recorded in the case entrustment letter, and it is Misaki Uemura herself." Naka Shinichiro replied in a soft nasal voice, indifferently. "Of course, it's written in the document, but who introduced it?" Nakashin Ichiro did not directly answer this question, but said to the police: "In the second week after the incident, that is, on the night of September 25 last year, she called me herself. After I agreed She came alone, and the two of us discussed it from the beginning to the end." Naka Shinichiro motioned for the police officers to sit on the sofa. "However, during the public trial, Mr., as the defendant's agent, met with the deceased's family, Mr. Shirahata Tetsuya, and expressed that the defendant was willing to pay 60 million yen in compensation. Around the cause of Shirahata Qingxiang's death, he entrusted a university professor to pay The appraisal fee of 3 million yen, then, as a well-known lawyer, the fee is not low, right? We think that Uemura Misaki alone cannot afford such a high fee." The search headquarters has seized the bank deposits and assets of Misaki Uemura, her mother Ikuko, and Ikuko's brother who works as a farmer in Ishiwa City, Yamanashi Prefecture. When the police officer explained that the 60 million yen would never be enough to pay, Nakashin Ichiro lit a cigarette and silently blew a smoke ring. "We have long determined that Cape Uemura must have a shady man with very strong assets, and has a close relationship with this kidnapping incident. We hope you can provide us with the name of this person." After a while, Nakashin Ichiro put out the cigarette butt, and slowly turned the swivel chair to the two police officers: "The abducted criminal has been arrested, and the hostage has really been rescued?" "Is such that." "So, don't worry about the victim happening again later?" "That is, but the premise is: the mastermind must be caught, otherwise, the matter will not be settled." "Well, of course. However, lawyers have the obligation to keep their clients confidential. This is the professional ethics of a lawyer." "However, this incident has become a major incident that shakes the justice. If you can assist the police..." "I understand this. But, I will never tell you any clues related to this incident of Misaki Uemura. I value this very much. I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, but I won't No more details." Nakashin Ichiro's tone of voice was almost emotionless, and from his eyes, whose whites were larger than blacks, the two officers saw that there was no longer any hope. However, the existence of shady is certain.This is already the lawyer's important "answer" to the investigation—— After the two police officers left, Nakashin Ichiro was still sitting in the swivel chair, and he resumed smoking a cigarette. So far, he doesn't think he has lied to the police.But on this occasion today, I have become an accomplice with this "related person". What will happen if you become a de facto accomplice? It is necessary to carefully review the legal provisions... However, this abduction incident, I am sure that it has nothing to do with Misaki Uemura's case. "Prepare carefully." He sighed deeply, and then muttered something.At this time, a lighter was lit in his fat palm. How to seriously prepare for the next step, just in case, he still can't make up his mind. He moved the fire closer to the cigarette butt, but suddenly stopped. During the public trial, he went to Kosuge's Tokyo detention center many times.Each time he got instructions from "people concerned".Nakashin Ichiro didn't need to think too much, and conveyed everything to Misaki Kamimura exactly as it was. These words sounded in his mind again: "I must not let her be sentenced to death! You must help me..." "Morifuji Co., Ltd." was established in 1964 in Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture, and named after "Shouto Sangyo".The current president is 64-year-old Shigeo Morito.At the beginning, it was a real estate company mainly engaged in the operation of residential buildings. Later, during the period of high development, it also continued to expand its performance. In Japan’s bubble economy era before the 1980s, they increased their capital by leaps and bounds due to their active expansion of their business. On the bustling streets of Omiya and Urawa, they opened rental businesses with bars and clubs as their main business. Later, he became an important operator in the big hotel and catering industry. In 1991, due to the high land price, the sales of houses were greatly affected. Mori Fuji Industry wisely transferred the housing-related departments to other companies, and changed the company name to "Molly Fuji". In the fourth year, with the establishment of the franchise chain store model in the catering industry, they first established the No. 1 store in Tokyo, the Yoyogi store, and later opened new stores in Asagaya and Harumi. On the other hand, Shigeo Morito, who emerged from the conservative group in Omiya in 1980 at the age of 43, became an alternate member of the prefectural assembly, and in the 21 years until 2000, he worked in the prefectural assembly on the way to the sixth term , among the local councilors, those with overwhelming strength occupy a favorable position. In June 2000, he ran for the House of Representatives election for the first time and succeeded in one fell swoop. Hideto Morito is Shigeo's eldest son. He is 37 years old this year. After graduating from a private university in Tokyo, he worked in the construction contracting industry for six years. He joined Morito Industry at the age of 28. At the age of 32, he became an executive officer, and his political face was his father's political secretary.The outside world's evaluation of him is: the reason why Shigeo Morito's success is inseparable from the efforts of his son Hideto, and this is also because Shigeo Morito won the final victory in this year's House of Representatives election, which played an important role. The power of the tripod. When the friendship between Misaki Uemura and Tsutomu Hayama appeared in common, the search headquarters was eager to collect all the information about Hideto Morito. Lawyer Nakashin Ichiro is a junior of Shigeo Morito's high school days. After many years of contact, the two became close.Shuto Hideto also got closer to him. Hideto Morito got acquainted with Misaki Uemura when he opened the Yoyogi store 8 years ago, and then introduced many businesses to her. He and Hayama Tsutomu had a host-guest relationship 11 years ago when Hayama Tsutomu was a bartender in a club in Shinjuku. At that time, he once persuaded Hayama to be a model. Could it be that the latest thing is that Hideto Morito and his relationship continue?The investigation gradually approached him. At the restaurant business in Molivoji, investigators did not come up with his name, posing as a burglary nearby, and asked employees to identify photos of Hayama and Misaki Uemura.A female cashier at the Daidai store remembers Hayama Tsutomu. "I remember that he came here two or three times before! The most recent time was in the afternoon of January this year, at 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock, and he sat there alone drinking coffee..." Yu Shanqin is a very beautiful handsome man, so it is easy to attract women's attention.Therefore, the woman also said in a very concerned tone: "At that time, he answered a phone call, then paid the money and went out, as if he went upstairs next door." The second floor of the Yoyogi store is the office of Molifuji's Tokyo branch.It can be considered that Tsutomu Hayama is here to visit Hideto Mori, and he will wait for him in the chain store first. The personnel who rushed to the high-end apartment in Sakurashincho, Setagaya District, where Hideto Mori lived, asked a group of middle-aged administrators there about the situation of the people who entered and exited Hideto's house.Hideto rented a two-bedroom unit on the third floor of the five-story building about four years ago.About every month, he only comes to live for about 10 days to two weeks. But about other things about him, the administrator is not so clear.Moreover, he has never met Hideto Morito, and he has brought other women here besides his wife.Let him look at the photos of Hayama Tsutomu and Uemura Misaki, and he also said that he has no impression. The investigators who were still unwilling to give up finally heard something meaningful at last. "In our apartment, there is an emergency entrance at one end of each floor. Next to the door of Mr. Morito's room on the third floor is..." The door of the emergency entrance and exit is usually locked on the inside, but it can be opened by hand.Outside that door, there is another door, which forms an emergency entrance and exit together with this door, and the door inside is usually called a fire door. "We usually check, but the third floor is next to Mr. Morito's house, and it is also locked on weekdays. Open the door here, and there is another door, so we are very relieved." So investigators rushed to Omiya immediately. Hideto Morito has a wife and two children.His father-in-law has been the chairman of the County Construction Industry Association for many years, and he is also considered a pivotal figure in the local area.Of course, since he is a heavyweight supporter of Shigeo Morito, Hideto Morito would never dare to easily annoy his wife on the issue of women, and thus be disgusted by his father-in-law. Therefore, even though he has a relationship with Uemura Misaki, he will be extra careful, such as taking measures such as letting her pass through the emergency entrance when she comes... Many investigators, at the location of Molifuji's head office in Omiya, and Morito's office, members of the county assembly who knew Shigeo Morito and Hideto through the county assembly, and others conducted inquiries, and finally got an unexpected harvest . Kenzo Kunihiro, a member of the House of Representatives elected locally and who has been a minister, retired at the age of 67 last year. Legend has it that Shigeo Morito spent a lot of money to buy his power turf.Moreover, it was his son Hideto Morito who mainly carried out this work.From about the beginning of September last year, Shigeo Mori began to use money to pave the way, which is already an open secret in the local area. It is also said that on September 15th last year, Kenzo Kunihiro suddenly summoned his cronies in the county assembly, room assembly, and town assembly, and made it clear that he was about to retire, and tried his best to recommend Shigeo Morito as his successor. . Search headquarters is very interested in these rumors.Will there be any connection between buying the site and this abduction incident?Following this rumor, I finally found Kunihiro Kenzo's former first secretary - Atsushi Kaneko.Atsushi Kaneko, 63 years old this year, has served Kenzo Kunisiro for nearly 40 years since he was 20 years old, and has always been extremely trusted by representatives. "Because there is no inheritance for representatives, only the House of Representatives." The rumors from the surroundings seem to indicate that he himself has great ambitions.But his remarks may have caused Guohong's displeasure. Since Jin Zidu was in his 50s, he has been neglected.His original policy secretary and the full-time secretary of the inaugural minister were also appointed young secretaries by Guohong Kenzo for various reasons. In the past 10 years, Kaneko has gradually faded out of the political arena. In November last year, after Kenzo Kunisiro retired, all the other secretaries transferred to Shigeo Morito's office and continued to work there; while Atsushi Kaneko of the same faction did not follow suit and had to return to his hometown.It wasn't until this spring that he opened a food sales company in the Omiya area and engaged in business activities with the face of being a secretary. After three weeks of careful reconnaissance, on the morning of August 16, two young investigators suddenly arrived outside Omiya City.Kaneko's residence visit.In fact, as early as two days ago, the first search department of the Metropolitan Police Department called Jin Zidu, asking him to cooperate with the police and explain the relevant matters from a fair standpoint of a third party.After obtaining the consent of Jin Zidu, the date and time of visiting him were confirmed. Since Atsushi Kaneko was the first secretary to the members of the House of Representatives, the investigation must show respect for others.Jin Jin explained to the investigators that "it was something I heard a year ago." In the later years of Kenzo Kunihiro's representative days, he often stayed at the eldest daughter's house in Okamoto Sancho, Setagaya Ward, playing with his grandson and having fun. "At that time, I was always in Omiya, and I hardly cared about the affairs in Tokyo. I also heard about that matter from the director of the Omiya Office when I returned from business in Tokyo. It was August 31 last year. At night, Shigeo Morito's office sent a car to Kunihiro's home in Tokyo with a huge amount of cash. At that time, the policy secretary in Tokyo was present with the director of the office from Omiya. The police were plainclothes police protecting politicians , Escorted Kenzo Kunihiro all the way back home. After the escort left, in order not to attract attention, it was planned to send a woman from Shigeo Morito's office at 10 o'clock to quietly deliver the huge sum of money. The secretary and the director After the two checked it, they took it out of the car and carried it to Kenzo Kunihiro's home. "However, the car did not arrive at 10 o'clock at night. At 10:10, Mr. Hideto Mori called suddenly, saying that the woman he sent could not come because of a sudden illness, and asked to stop activities that night. From In his tone, he could hear that he was very flustered. "The next two days, that is, at 10 o'clock in the night on September 2, Hideto Morito personally drove over the huge sum of money. The secretary and the director checked it out and received it all. It is impossible for Mr. Hideto to be a secretary for the rest of his life. , also has the ambition to succeed his father in politics. Therefore, he is also very careful not to let any unfavorable rumors touch him. In order to express his credit, he personally sent it this time to express his apology for missing the appointment last time. At that time, he was still very cautious, using two big bath towels to wrap it into two big burdens." Jin Zidu shook his head and said that he really didn't know "the woman's name" who was going to give the money. "Do you know the name of the woman who gave the money?" However, the time she should have arrived at Okamoto Sanchome, the residence of Hideto Morito, at 10 o'clock in the evening on August 31 last year, was at the place where she was involved in an accident with a car that killed her mother and daughter and then escaped. , The timing is very consistent. The investigators couldn't help but widen their eyes! "When 'Xiao Teng' met, during the public trial, did you feel that there was a deeper background hidden behind this incident?... Even in the prosecution's request for punishment, it was also mentioned that there was a possibility of a major hidden secret Sex, have you judged like this?" After talking about the progress of the current investigation work, Yoshitake Norizhi asked Kamiya Masayoshi about the hidden things in the incident. "Then your opinion remains the same?" Masayoshi Kamiya smiled wryly: "I think, now, it's time to accept my application for resignation." Masayoshi Kamiya really thought about it seriously, and Yoshitake Zezhi enthusiastically persuaded him to withdraw his "retirement application".Because Ji Wu repeatedly stated: In fact, you are also a victim. However, when they were discussing the abduction incident at "Koto", Kamiya expressed his determination and would never waver. Therefore, Yoshitake Norizhi remained silent for a while, and asked the presiding judge Kamiya Masayoshi: "So, what do you plan to do in the future?" "I haven't made up my mind yet. I'd better be a poor tramp first." "How about this, after I've dealt with the urgent matter at hand, the two of us will go to 'Little Vine' for a drink. At that time, let's have a good talk..." After Ji Wu Zezhi smiled heartily, he hung up the phone. Masayoshi Kamiya also put down the receiver.He took a sip of the barley tea, reached out and fetched the information on the case of Uemura Misaki that was on the table, including two photos sent by the search headquarters 10 days ago, and he looked again. This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thin lips, a small beard under his nose, slightly surprised eyes, showing a cute expression.Although this picture shows a smiling face, it can still be seen from his overall expression that he has an overwhelming and unshakable firm belief. Short black hair, round face, thick neck, broad shoulders.Although the photo only shows his upper body, it can make people realize that he has a very strong physique. When I saw him on the altar, I felt that he was in his thirties or forties, but when he heard that he was 37 years old, Masayoshi Kamiya felt that he should actually be younger. Another picture is of a man, but he has shaved his beard and is wearing a brightly colored sweatshirt, giving him a youthful, exuberant vibe. He was a man anyway.他从去年12月，第一次开庭审理上村岬子案件时，就几乎场场不落进行旁听，只是到了第七次，要进行检方求刑前，他就不再出现了。 神谷正义对第一次见到该男子时候的情景，不可思议地十分鲜明。当时，上村岬子身穿一件黑衣，衣领处带着一条闪着蓝色光泽的围巾。看得出来，她是第一次走入这样的法庭，小心翼翼地低着头，但她来到旁听席附近时，突然发现了母亲，后来她常常前倾着身子，并尽量跷起脚来，而那时在她前方，就出现了这名男子。两个人的视线，常常在空中交汇…… 对神谷正义来说，这一切都在他的感觉之中。 在他的公判结束的时候，神谷正义突然感到了，来自旁听席中的严厉的目光。一名留着小胡子的男子，坐在上村岬子母亲的斜前方，挑战般地直视着自己。 混蛋，你要让她自由！ ... 当然，这只是神谷正义的直觉。反正这名男子，每次都坐在旁听席上。第二年，在2月份的第三次公判中，神谷发现他刮去了胡子…… 7月21日清晨，是真理子从新？喀里多尼亚得到解救后的第四个星期。她在努美阿的医院住了两天，在医治了脚部的外伤后，和接到通知赶到的和可子、出差在那儿的三加田成治一同，喜滋滋地回到了日本。 父亲神谷正义来到成田机场，热情地迎接他们。他向三加田成治道谢后，接过了真理子。真理子的精神状态，还是比较平静的，只是肌体的伤痛，还让她看上去十分痛苦。 由于神谷真理子还是希望在家休息，于是，7月26日后，她才从家里住进了广尾医院。她要再次接受检查，恢复体力，同时也是希望躲开大众媒体的干扰。 7月27日已经在警方，设立了搜査总部，一旦公开了搜査，那么，就会有许多记者，找到神谷和真理子进行采访。 吉武则之把调査的经过，向法官神谷正义一一做了汇报。 8月5日，调査人员把守藤秀人的照片，送到了神谷正义的家中。也许这是搜查总部从秀人的熟人入手，或是用高倍望远镜，偷拍弄到的吧。 神谷正义以前就对吉武则之悄悄讲过：在每次的公判中，总有一名男子，用剑一般的目光，盯着自己的事情。但由于宪法的规定，参加旁听人员的姓名和地址，都是可以不被登记的。 针对搜査总部的询问，神谷正义也尽可能详细地，描述了旁听席上那名男子的长相。 神谷正义法官放下照片，把疲惫的目光移向窗外…… 从这个房间里，可以看到旧式建筑和其间的小路，长满了苔藓的石墙和一块竹林。在这条有些背阴的小路上望去，很少可以见到行人。 自从诱拐事件在社会上公开以后，为了不给法院和法官们造成影响，警方在这一带增派了警力。凡是未经许可的新闻记者等人，均不得擅自入内。 不久之后，记者也要向神谷正义法官进行采访了。为了应对不得不面对的这些活动，神谷正义终于在8月下旬，方算告一段落。 孟兰盆节过去了，暑假期间，大街上也不那么热闹了。而盛夏的闷热，又笼罩在整个东京。 东京地方法院刑事第18部，现在也在放署假。本来结束了上村岬子的案件，就应当放假了，但由于审判期延长，休假只能从8月12日开始，按照惯例，法官的暑假是20天。 7月21日提出“退官申请书”的神谷正义，随后与自己的两名左右陪审席，进行了细致的交谈，星升和由佳丽，自然感到十分震惊，但他们听到了最后，星升的童颜，终于露出了放心的神色。 而松本由佳丽则坚决要求神谷正义收回辞呈，她说：“混蛋！……近几年来，社会舆论和专业界，没有对部长的量刑判决，说过半个不字嘛！……” 但是，神谷正义的决心已定。他努力在暑假之前，把自己手头的业务处理完毕。刑事部的法官，通常每年经手合议案件和单独案件，都有七、八十件之多。然而宣判完毕之后，再整理材料，就可以缓些时日。 神谷正义的“退官申请”，已经被送到内阁的正式会议上，于是，署假也可能又得延后几天，但批准下来是早晚的事了。 在举行了秘密欢送会后，同时也决定了：神谷正义将搬出目前政府，专为官职人员配属的住处。神谷也在一边交接着工作，一边忙着搬家的事情。 神谷正义与妻子和可子商量后，决定先让女儿真理子安静一段时间，然后，尽可能集中全家三个人的意见，决定搬迁的新家庭地址。 于是，神谷正义便打算利用这个机会，彻底整理一下常年积累下来的大量案件，在他任职期间，他几乎天天都是忙得两头不见太阳。每个结了案的卷宗，都往抽屉里一塞了之。搬家时也只是打成箱子，因此，积下了不少从未开过包的资料。 但是，就在他整理这些资料期间，神谷正义不禁触景生情，所以，进展十分缓慢。几天来还是堆在房间里。 这天，在他整理资料时，他听到了玄关处的开门声，不一会儿又传来了讲话声，他便抬头看了看挂钟。 “已经两点了？……”他念叨了一句，站起身来。 这时，父亲伦太郎和妹妹典子走了进来。 身穿开襟夹克的伦太郎，一看气色，就有了明显的改善。他无意识地笑着，看着儿子神谷正义。 “啊，东京很热嘛！……”伦太郎高兴地说道。 “这里和大分县就是不一样，还是东京热啊！……”典子提着一个很大的旅行箱，也笑着看着神谷正义。 7月10日左右，由于和可子受到精神打击，而使她的癌症发作，神谷正义便向住在郡山的妹妹典子求助，他告诉了和可子的病况，还有安排伦太郎的事情。第二天，典子就赶到东京，次日就带着伦太郎，回了自己的家。 在那之后，已经过了一个多月。神谷典子的丈夫，是一名牙科医生，每天早晚给伦太郎注射胰岛素。 今天典子带他回来，是因为伦太郎要做每个月的例行体检。他们两个人，在上午11点钟，就离开了郡山，赶了两个小时的路程，来到了东京神谷正义的家。 “真理子不在？……”父亲伦太郎有点失望地问道。 “和她妈一起去伊豆疗养了。” “和可子已经好了？” “嗯，基本上恢复了。” 他们都没有把诱拐事件告诉伦太郎。神谷对典子也是轻描淡写地，说了一些无关紧要的情节。虽然真理子已经没有危险了，但兄妹俩还是不打算再刺激父亲，所以，决定不再对他讲了。 和可子住了一个多星期的医院。身体有了一定的恢复和稳定后，真理子还是得由母亲陪着，去疗养一段时间，暂时也就没有打算把爷爷接回来。 伦太郎坐在起居室里，喝了几口凉掉的大麦茶后，怀念般地环视了一下房间，然后站了起来，走进了日式房间里。 神谷正义连忙跟了进去，他看到父亲伦太郎那髙髙的个子，正背对着自己，看着窗外的景致。虽然他的精神不错，但神谷觉得他又瘦了一些。 神谷伦太郎慢慢地回过头来，用意味深长的目光，看着堆放在房间里的卷宗和材料。他的眼神一瞬间使人感到：那不是一位82岁老人的目光，仿佛他又回到了，一名法官的威严风采。 神谷伦太郎默默地看了一会儿，视线又移到了桌子上。他来到桌子旁，伸手取过了一张照片。 “是阿健吗？”伦太郎的脸上露出了笑容，他冲着照片对神谷问道，“他是阿健吗？” “这个……”神谷正义犹豫地望着父亲。 “是阿健啊？……都长这么大了！……” 8月28日，对守藤秀人的逮捕令正式发出了。再过三天，就是“母子三人肇事逃逸杀人事件”整整一年了。 逮捕令是以该事件的尸体遗弃、同谋、以及由此产生了诱拐、囚禁、强迫未遂。 同时还由此，发生了其他违反“公职选举法”的嫌疑，但那是另一个案件了。 8月28日以后，被传唤到搜査总部、听取证据的守藤秀人，开始否认了上述指控的嫌疑，但随着后来列举出的几个证据，终于迫使守藤秀人认了罪。 其中最有利的证据，就是去年9月，上村岬子被捕之前，在她的车中找到了毛发。车是白色的“克里斯蒂”牌。而上村岬子曾将被车撞死的母子，塞进过轿车里，然后遗弃。当时从车的后备箱里，取出了两根毛发，不知是什么人的，后来经过法医鉴定，结果是守藤秀人的毛发。 根据他的供词—— 守藤秀人与上村岬子的相识，大约是在8年前，半年后就成了情人关系。他与羽山勤的认识是大约11年前，羽山当时正在一家酒吧做调酒师。后来羽山勤成了模特后，由于工作忙，就再也没有见过面。大约是在两年前，他又因借款的事情，找到了守藤秀人。 今年2月，对上村岬子的审判开始不利了。在1月和2月的公判中，围绕着白幡清香的死因，检辩双方都传来了自己的证人，但中进一郎律师的“死后扼颈”的观点，被检方产生了怀疑，而法官的态度也不明确。 在3月的公判中，取证调査人员询问了证人，并作成了供词。上村岬子供词中，承认了对白幡澄子抱有杀意，同时承认当时她看出了澄子有孕在身。 而在下次，作为死者的丈夫和父亲的白幡彻已，将作为情形证人出席公判大会，他那打动人的悲伤陈述，将会极大地影响公判的结果。 于是，从3月中旬开始，守藤秀人就着手制定诱拐计划。即将公判的结果，使他最终下了决心。 他委托经常有业务往来的一家私人侦探社，秘密调査了神谷正义的家庭背景。一名侦探谎称是进行婚姻调査，对神谷正义的住所周边、真理子的学校中学的同学、与和可子认识的邻居等等，收集了许多情报。当时他伪造了一家实际根本不存在的婚姻介绍所。 羽山勤在退出现役模特后，已经是债务缠身。 他在年轻的时候就得了肝炎，那是他在办乐队时，和同伴相互注射毒品时感染的。但他不知道这一点，平时还是饮酒不断。终于在当上了模特后的30岁前后发病。当时他感到异常的疲倦，羽山勤当时住院进行了治疗，医生对他的身体，进行了仔细检查，最终确认他得了肝炎。 他无法忍受没有工作的生活压力，在从模特变成模特讲师之中，不断地借款生活，如同雪球一样，债务越滚越大，终于，去年被髙利贷者追赶，受到了生命的威胁。 那时他意识到：自己也许活不了多久了，打算赶快还了那些高利贷，到巴黎的一个乡下了却一生。 于是，他求助了守藤秀人…… 根据调査人员的报告，真理子有志成为时装模特，于是，守藤秀人就决定，要羽山勤设法接近她。为此，秀人首先替他还了一大部分髙利贷。 守藤秀人还想过以伦太郎为人质的计划：81岁的伦太郎，每天都一个人外出散步。但是他多少有些痴呆，调査员打听过，他常常有迷路的时候。如果是这样一名患有老年痴呆症的老人，在成为事件后的线索，其可信度会大打折扣。 伦太郎过去是一名检察官，调查他的经历并不困难。在一次伦太郎散步到汤岛天神寺里时，守藤秀人以过去的一名被告人的身份，突然接近了他。 他伪装成自己在附近，开了一家洗衣店，妻子和自己都想对他表示感谢，还劝他上了一辆客货两用车，走了一会儿，他在一条人烟稀少的道上停下了车，说用手机和妻子联系一下。 这时，他看了神鼓伦太郎胳臂上点点红斑，一问才知道他有糖尿病，每天必须注射胰岛素治疗。同时他还拿出一块挂在脖子上的小卡片对秀人说，这是他万一发生低血糖或酮血酸中毒时，让路人按卡片的说明，与医院和他家人取得联系的方法。 守藤秀人听到这些，当即就打消了诱拐伦太郎的计划。后来他说妻子外出送衣服了，然后，就把伦太郎送回了他家附近。 之所以他不想诱拐伦太郎，是担心万一在囚禁中，神谷伦太郎因为突然发生了意外，而造成“谋杀人质”的罪名。 另一方面，羽山勤与真理子的“接触”则进展顺利，并得到了她的充分信任。 诱拐的目的地，定在新？喀里多尼亚，那是羽山勤的主意，他在以前的工作中，经常去过那里。那里是一片农田，又不通英语，人质如果呼救，也不会被当地人察觉。在他反复预演了多遍后，于6月初去实地进行了“踩点”。 6月22日，羽山勤用金钱说服了，过去在一个乐队的两名同伙，协助他把真理子叫到饭店，假装进行挑选模特。当然，他没有把诱拐真理子的目的，对那两个人讲。他以一名模特因突发急病为由，说急需一名模特，劝她与自己一同去海外，进行商业拍摄。 羽山勤带着神谷真理子，于6月26日，从成田机场出发，随后，守藤秀人在东京中央邮局的邮箱里，投寄了让神谷正义法官注意电子邮件的打印信。 羽山勤巧妙地欺骗了真理子，于6月28日，成功地把她带到了新？喀里多尼亚的别墅。原来他计划在27日，直接从努美阿的机场到别墅，但那天晚上，羽山临时决定，先住进了旅游点的一家髙级饭店。 从这个计划的实际阶段，守藤秀人与羽山勤的联系，就通过饭店的电话和公用电话进行。他们通常是给神谷发出电子邮件后，再进行告之或确认。 这个计划在7月27日审判日期的大约两个星期以前，羽山决定关着真理子，在她的房间里，放上一些水和食物，自己只身逃走。而这个时期，正是神谷正义知道了女儿被诱拐后的，大约两个星期之后了。羽山判断，即使神谷报了案，等警方査到自己的隐藏地点，也得花上很长的时间了。 一旦判决之日到了，无论做出什么样的判决，他也打算通知神谷，告之真理子所在的地点。守藤秀人一再强调，除非万不得已，否则不可杀死真理子。 同时，羽山勤打算通过守藤秀人，在新宿的一家外国人的俱乐部，弄到伪造的中国人名的护照逃走。一旦他在国外安顿下来，他就开个银行户头，并通知守藤秀人，把剩余的酬金打入这个户头。也许那时候，警方会査明实施诱拐犯罪的是羽山勤，但那时候羽山勤已经逃到国外，只要他不被逮捕，取证他背后的关系，就非常困难。当然，羽山勤也向守藤秀人保证：绝不会杀死真理子。因为诱拐杀人事件，对当局来说，罪犯必是死罪，也许羽山难逃法网。 羽山勤之所以在判决日的一个星期前，还留在真理子的身边，是因为真理子意外受了伤。他担心自己眼睁睁地看着她死去，就如同自己动手杀了她一样，同时他既无能为力，又于心不忍。 包括支付给羽山勤的酬金，这个计划的实施，需要很大的一笔资金，但这并不是问题。守藤秀人为了搭救上村岬子的性命，已经在所不惜。 通过中进一郎说服被害者亲属，支付巨款赔偿，也是出于这个原因。如果对方同意这个私了的方案，上村岬子肯定免得一死，这起诱拐事件，也就无从谈起了。但是和对方的商量没有成功。 守藤秀人早已闻名：神谷正义法官量刑之严。而秀人自己也是生性好动。他在旁听席上，看着神谷正义的过程中，他无法忍受一个平常人的法官手中，掌握着平常人的爱与生死大权。他想要世间知道，谁才是真正掌握生杀大权的人；是谁的固执意念，成为了这次诱拐事件的动力…… 调査人员更进一步地，深入了解了守藤秀人诱拐真理子的动机。 “你口口声声说，是为了上村岬子的生命，而实际上，难道你不是也在保护自己吗？你担心上村岬子在被判死刑后，经不住心理压力和死亡的恐惧，会招出与你的关系。因为她必定是在执行你的决定，而你和她的这种关系，一旦公开，你不仅成了罪犯，而且必得失去一切。你不择手段地一再犯罪，全部源自你的野心。如果上村岬子一旦坦白，你就全部完蛋了。你不正是为了堵住她的嘴，才必须让她活着吗？” 对此，守藤秀人昂然挺立，用坚定的口吻答道：“我承认这一点。我的动机，既是为了对上村岬子的爱情，也是为了保护我自己，她相信我，她会为我坚守到最后一分钟；而我也要承诺救她的性命。但是，我不认为完全是为了自己，你们实在是一种错误判断。岬子实际上对澄子，根本没有杀意，也没有意识到她已经怀孕了。在案发后我听她讲了。她自己心里非常明白，但这无法证明。同时法庭上采用了错误的供词，就在误认中进行了公判，这是我坚决不能够承认的！……” 啊，这是沙漠吗？ ... 走出松林，来到沙滩上的时候，神谷正义的心中，产生了奇妙的感慨。 眼前是一大片沙地，而前方渐渐地隆起，在远处形成了一条高高的地平线。地平线的上方就是天空。在视线中，只有沙地和地平线，还有天空和彩云…… 咦，地平线的那边，出现了两个人影。他们慢慢地走了过来。但为什么看上去异常地高大。在黄昏的光彩照耀下，如同海里出现的妖怪的人影，越走越近，不仅使神谷正义回忆起了学生时代，看到的阿拉伯的宽银幕电影中的奇妙的景象。 “啊，好大的沙漠呀！……”他情不自禁地自言自语起来。 今天他说：要到浜松兜风，于是就和真理子一起出门了。 从前他就听说过：浜松市的天龙川河口附近有沙丘，但是，一到这里才知道，它不仅有沙丘，而且，还有这么大一片沙漠。他们穿过刻有“中田岛沙丘”汉字的石柱，从踏入沙地的那一刻起，神谷正义的心中，就涌出了十分新奇的感觉。 浅茶色的沙地深厚而柔软，走在上面，沙土都合着“扑哧扑哧”的声音，汹涌地灌进了鞋里。 “哎呀，要穿凉鞋来就好了！……”真理子尖声喊叫着。 “把鞋换了吧！……”神谷正义笑着劝女儿。 于是，真理子又跑回车旁，去找胶底布鞋。今天，真理子穿了一件橙黄色和白色的鱼的图案的T恤衫，下身穿了一件浅橘黄色的长裤。她马上又跑了回来。 神谷正义的眼睛，一直盯着真理子的举动，心中放心地想：“女儿终于从打击中恢复过来了。” 从7月26日，住进广尾医院的真理子，接受了全身检査后，被诊断除了左脚挫伤和外伤，尚未治愈之外，身体的其他地方，再也没有受到任何伤害。但由于在三个星期的囚禁中，她的营养不良，加之左脚的外伤感染，化脓并引起了高烧，所以，全身状态十分虚弱。她连续输了几天液后，终于可以吃流食了。 同时，医院还给她进行了精神科的心理医疗。 一般来说，大凡经历过极度恐怖体验的人，会将这个记忆，深深地记在心里，就算是没有特别的机会，也会突然历历在目地出现在眼前，立刻陷入了恐慌的状态。在医学上，称这种状态为“PTSD”（心因性外伤后应激障碍〉。在半夜发作时，会全身突然出现许多鸡皮疙瘩、面色苍白、心里震颤等状态。 真理子也多少会有这样的状态，但至今她还没有被杀的经历。也许是这个原因，目前她的精神打击，还没有那么严重，而且，经过时间的推移，这次的精神刺激症状，也会日益减轻了。 在她住院中，经过大夫的许可，作为该事件的受害者，她也受到了警方的短时间的询问。 在她出院的两周后，她在家中，再次接受了调査，而此时，她已经可以非常镇静地，回答当时的许多事情了。 当然，对于一名从未受过严重挫折的姑娘来说，当她知道自己倾注了全部的热情的事情，竟然是一场骗局的打击，将会完全丧失了自信，甚至会一蹶不振。事实上，神谷正义的担心，远远超过了真理子本人的状况。 出院后，和可子带着真理子，在静冈县函南的别墅，住了一段时间。这栋别墅是和可子的女友和她的画家丈夫的。当时，和可子执意要找，一个可以看到大海的别墅。被关闭在狭小的房间里的女儿真理子，一旦来到大海的海边，这宽阔的环境，就会一下子治愈了她的心理闭锁征。 她们两个人是8月19日到达那里的，而父亲伦太郎又被典子带了回去。现在，只有神谷正义法官一个人，待在了目前的官方住宅中，整日埋头整理过去的资料。 在逮捕守藤秀人之前，他也被警方叫去过好几次，向他提出了辨认电脑中，还残留着的资料的真伪等。 在刑事第18部暑假结束前的8月底，在内阁会议上，同意了神谷正义的退官申请。 但法院在电话里，对神谷正义说：他目前所居住的住宅，可以不必急于交出来，但对他来讲，马上找到新的住所，就成了当务之急。 在住处有了着落后，神谷正义也第一次去了，和可子和真理子母女两人住的函南。 神谷正义见了几次女儿后，感觉她的精神状态，渐渐好了起来，但看上去，也有些住腻了别墅的样子。因此，她向神谷正义提出了，想坐车兜风的愿望。这栋别墅里没有私人汽车，而神谷在学生时代，就考取了驾驶执照，后来因为工作，他也开了几年车。
