Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Surrounding Women

The police investigated the incident when it was not yet possible to judge whether it was suicide or homicide. Generally speaking, if the lower body is more injured than the upper body when falling to death, especially if the legs are seriously injured, it is suicide-because the suicide always hits the ground with the legs first.On the contrary, if it is pushed down by someone, the heavy head often hits the ground, and the impact is also concentrated on the upper body. Having said that, it is general after all, and it does not mean that there are no dive-style suicides with big heads on the ground.

The autopsy of the victim Yuki Sasaki was carried out at Keio Hospital, and the results are as follows: The damage to the body has spread to the whole body, especially the scars from the fall of the head. It is inferred that the head hit the ground first, and the estimated time of death is March. From 10 pm to 12 pm on the 5th, blood type B.Even so, it is still impossible to judge whether it was suicide or homicide. The production company considered it a suicide. Newspapers and magazines also reported on this incident with the main line of "the tragedy of an actor who did not become popular", and also used the theory of suicide.

"I think she was killed." Kusaka insisted to Totsukawa. "Do you think this corpse is the same as the one seen by the Ascent Sakura?" "yes." "When did you see the body?" "From Hiroshima, after a while, oh—the departure time of the upbound Sakura train from Hiroshima is—" Kusaka flipped through the timetable, "The departure time is 11:23 p.m. on March 5. I am in The corpse seen in the upbound Sakura car should have happened between 11:35 and 6 p.m. on March 5. This is consistent with the results of the autopsy." "However, Kusaka Detective, Yuki Sasaki's manager, Jun Kimi, asked her to take the Nikko flight from Fukuoka at 6:30 p.m. on March 5. If she took this flight, it would arrive at Haneda at exactly 8 p.m. The airport, from Haneda to the apartment at the west exit of Shinjuku, can be reached in an hour by taxi. She can return to the apartment at 9:00 pm on March 5. If she died after this, the autopsy report The presumed time of death is from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m., which is consistent."

"Your inference also makes sense—" "The light blue pajamas worn by the deceased can be seen everywhere. This cannot be used as evidence. The most difficult thing now is that you are the only one who has seen the corpse on the Sakura train going up. It is not easy to convince others." "Besides me. At least one other person has seen her." "Who?" "Prisoner." "That's right, that's true." Totsukawa smiled. "After the woman who died in pajamas disappeared, the clothes, handbags and other things on the bunk where she slept would not be gone, right?"

"That would have been all right, but unfortunately nothing was left. I think the prisoner took the body with her clothes and belongings. Therefore, there is no evidence at present to support my statement." "On March 5th, there was a bomb riot in the upward train Sakura." The newspaper published such a report: On March 5th, a call was received on the express train Sakura with sleepers, saying that someone had planted a bomb in the carriage. time bomb.The national railway authorities asked the railway police to board the train and searched inside the train.However, no bomb was found, and the train arrived safely at Tokyo Station at 11:30 am on the 6th.Awakened passengers were outraged by the prank call.

Of course, nothing about the young woman's body was published.It seemed that the two railway policemen and the conductor of the Sakura train had taken care of the prank call. Regarding Sasaki Yuki's death, the police must determine whether it was suicide or homicide as soon as possible.I did a survey on her experience, sex and evaluation of her and so on.Sum it up in one sentence.She's a typical example of those young actors who dream of stardom but don't make it. When she was 18, she made her debut as a singer, which is not unusual for her age.At that time, the stage name was "Onodera Snow".She sang innocent pop songs.Relying on the half-understood bragging and praise, he became famous, and he also recorded 3 records, but he couldn't sell them all.Since then, she has changed her stage name twice, and her company has also changed.Although three to four hundred new singers emerge every year, less than 10 of them have made achievements.This is the harsh reality.She seems to be a typical down and out.After working for two or three years, if there is no achievement, the new female singer will probably get married hastily on this occasion.When she was 20 years old, she also considered quitting the art world and returning to her hometown of Kumamoto.But she still insisted on gaining a firm foothold in the art world.

"Women in Kumamoto are all tenacious." Kimi said to Kamei. The reason for saying this.It's because both Aki Yatsushiro and Sayuri Ishikawa, who have lived at the bottom of the class for many years and finally became pop stars, were born in Kumamoto.But she failed to make a name for herself as a singer. "She has no characteristics. Her fatal flaw is that she is beautiful, with a good figure, and her voice can't be said to be bad. She also sings pretty well. But the songs she sang did not succeed." Mu Jian said. For these reasons, she resumed the real name Sasaki Yuki, and stopped being a singer, and started her career as an actor.She was smart, and she was very comfortable as a filmmaker and reporter for a TV station, but she died suddenly at this time.

Why had her life suddenly become so luxurious during this time? She turned out to be the third daughter of a small hotel owner in Kumamoto.When she graduated from high school, her parents divorced.She came to Tokyo and began to live independently.When I was a singer, my life was quite poor, and I was often caught in an embarrassing situation.Since she gave up the idea of ​​becoming a singer, she has been living in a room with 6 seats, but at some point, she moved to a high-end apartment in the west exit of Shinjuku, and her clothes became extravagant.Apparently, she has a very wealthy patron.

If she was still a promising newcomer to the production side, it might be pointless to investigate what kind of man would do it for her.However, she is already 24 years old, and she has no hope of becoming a singer, whether she will eventually become famous as an actress.It is also difficult to grasp.Then, it is worth investigating the sponsor. Totsukawa asked Kamei to find out who the man behind Sasaki Yuki was.He thought it would be useful in determining whether she had committed suicide or homicide. Kamei brought Kusaka to Nishi Shinjuku Apartment again.Went into her room on the 8th floor.

Kamei once again realized that this room was indeed luxurious.The room was nominally Yuki Sasaki's.She bought the apartment for 50 million yen a year and a half ago.However, no one would believe that she had so much money. To be more precise, someone bought this apartment for her a year and a half ago. Speaking of a year and a half ago, she was working hard to make a movie.Appeared in the TV series "Most People", and appeared on the stage by chance as a TV reporter. "According to the manager, young men often come to play with her," Kusaka said. Kamei sat down on the sofa in the living room: "Manager Kimi knew about her relationship with a few men. There were four or five of them, and it was said that they were all young actors and singers. However, she and these men Interacting with people is just for fun, and it's hard to imagine that these people will be sponsors. She doesn't seem to have any friends who can spend 50 million yen to buy this set of dorms."

"This room doesn't smell like a man." Kusaka looked around the room while thinking. If the room was a young woman's room, it was evident from the stuffy smell and colour.The wardrobe is full of girls' things.Women's suits with novel and unique designs, as well as fur coats and other clothes are stuffed into a closet.The furniture is heavy, but the doorknobs are wrapped in lovely knitted lace.But the man's suit, tie and shoes could not be seen in the wardrobe at all. "If this case is confusing. This room is even more confusing," Kusaka said. Open the drawer, there are two photo albums and a few letters inside.They flipped through the photo album, which showed pictures from her 18-year-old debut as a new singer to her eloquent reporting as a TV reporter.There are also several photos taken with famous singers from the same production company she is in.Kamei couldn't figure out what kind of mood she was in when she took these photos.I don't know if she is secretly proud of being associated with these famous singers?Or, on the contrary, do you feel jealous? In the two albums, there are no photos that can tell whether her death was a suicide or a homicide, and there are no traces of fraud.The same is true for letters. "I didn't find anything." Sun Xia showed a disappointed look. Kusaka still firmly believes that the corpse seen in the Ascending Sakura is Sasaki Yuki.That's right.It must have been murder.Moreover, she was wearing pajamas, and after sleeping on the bunk, she got up to go to the toilet or was called to the front of the washroom.It must have been attacked by criminals.So it wasn't a crime that happened when the prisoner and the victim passed each other by chance, but the prisoner knew her and was there to attack her. Did the prisoner have any intention of killing her before? If so, he hoped to find evidence somewhere, such as a threatening letter or something. Kamei nodded and put the photo album and letter back into the drawer: "Hey, what is this?" He whispered. Something seemed to be found in the drawer.It must have been a photo that was turned upside down. It seemed to be stuffed in on purpose. It was very conspicuous. When I took it out, it was the size of a booklet. It was indeed a photo. In the photo, a man in his fifties and sixteen was standing side by side with Yuki Sasaki.The gentleman was wearing a smart sweater and scarf, and he was surprisingly similar to those energetic young men, perhaps because of his tall stature. "This man seems to be her sponsor." Kamei looked at the photo and said to Kusaka, "I seem to have seen him somewhere." "Oh, by the way, he is Shinichiro Nishio!" Shinichiro Nishio is now the Parliamentary Undersecretary for Transport and a member of the Conservative Party's House of Representatives.But that's not what made him famous.Nishio is famous for his bravery and free-spiritedness. He is 4th dan in kendo and 3rd dan in karate.In Congress that blames each other.He once relied on force to beat members of the opposition party.He also got into a drunken argument with a taxi driver, wounded him and was prosecuted. The credit trading company established by Nishio with his whole life is a large account with joint stores all over the country.When he entered the political world, he did give up the position of president to his son, and he was only the president himself, but until now, he still holds the real power. Three years ago, during the first election, Nishio spent money everywhere and bought the title of member of the House of Representatives at a cost of more than 1.5 billion yen. His actions were criticized by society. At that time, Nishio said to the reporter: "The matter of the election is to buy votes with money. Who doesn't do that? Guys who buy a vote with 1,000 yen are said to be innocent, but people like me, with 10,000 yen to buy a vote. It is said to be dirty, isn’t this a big joke? Rather, I value the value of a vote more than others.” Although he uses this trick to confuse people, the newspaper still makes a lot of noise about him.He also went too far in playing with women, and the scandal with a female singer from Takarazuka was also exposed by Women's Weekly.In short, there are many people who blame him. "Nishio was indeed born in Kyushu. Because of this, they probably got acquainted." Kamei whispered while looking at the photo. Nishio not only caused a lot of gossip because of his affair with a female singer from Takarazuka, but he was also known to like women in the art world.He has an ambiguous relationship with the beauty Sasaki Yuki, so it wouldn't be surprising to buy this apartment as a gift for her. "Was Shinichiro Nishio related to her death?" Kusaka asked. "Yeah, I can only talk to Nishio himself." Totsukawa was given the task of visiting Nishio at the Ministry of Transport. Totsukawa called in advance and took the photo to the Cabinet Secretary's Office to meet Nishio.After the young female secretary reported.Totsukawa walked in, and Nishio was brandishing a wooden sword in his shirt. Totsukawa Ren stood there for a moment, silently watching him practice martial arts.No wonder it is the fourth stage of swordsmanship.He danced the knife with a mighty posture and a decisive momentum.After a while, sweat was dripping on my forehead. Nishio ignored Totsukawa's existence, and was very close to him, waving the wooden knife up and down to practice the routine.After a while, he put the wooden knife back to its original place and wiped his sweat with a towel, only then did he seem to notice Totsukawa. "I'm really sorry, are you the police department of the First Search Section?" "My name is Totsukawa." Totsukawa said with a smile. "Ah, please sit down." After speaking, Nishio savored the tea brought by the secretary with great taste. "You dance wonderfully." "Thank you, are you also proficient in this way?" "I practice judo, and this physique is not suitable for practicing kendo." "Where, then, what do you want from me?" "I came to visit on the matter of a woman. Mr. Nishio, do you know a woman named Yuki Sasaki?" "Sasaki?" "It's this woman." Totsukawa showed Nishio the photo he brought. As soon as Nishio saw this photo, he chuckled: "It's unbearable. Where did you get it?" "Her apartment in Nishi Shinjuku." "So she—" "She's dead." "Dead? Really?" "Really. She probably fell from the 8th floor on the night of March 5th. Her body was found in the yard. It was discovered on the morning of the 6th." "Really, she's dead?" Nishio muttered to himself with a gloomy face.Totsukawa stared inwardly, and Nishio's voice was very solemn. "You don't know?" "This month is too busy, I haven't seen her." "What's your relationship with Miss Sasaki Yuki?" "Would you like me to elaborate?" "If that's the case, it's really wishful." "But did she commit suicide?" "It may be suicide, but the possibility of homicide is not denied, and it is for this reason that the investigation was conducted." "Well, let me tell you something. I am very close to the president of the studio, Kikuchi. When I entered politics, I had a meal with him. At that time, singers from Kyushu like me were trying to become famous. Desperate. But there is also a person who is not successful and is depressed. I said some words of encouragement to her. At that time, someone introduced me. This is Yuki Sasaki. At that time, singers were working hard.” "The apartment in Nishi Shinjuku, did Mr. Nishio buy it for her?" "When she finally gave up the idea of ​​being a singer, she wanted to retire from the art world and consider getting married. But she lost her relationship, and the blow was quite big. I often comfort her, and we became friends during the relationship. That building I did buy the apartment for her." "Mr. Nishio, do you think she committed suicide?" "It happened so suddenly, I really don't know how to judge it in such a short period of time, but I don't think she committed suicide. Is it theft and murder?" "The room is not messy." "If that's the case, it's not homicide. At first glance, she looks very strong, but she is naturally willing to get along with others, and someone will hold a grudge against her. This is something she didn't expect. Maybe in this way, she might commit suicide. " "Is there any sign of that?" "She gave up the idea of ​​becoming a singer. As an actor, she must be anxious to be famous. Being a singer is not enough. Changing to an actor is still not satisfactory, so I probably can't bear it. In addition, after I became a deputy minister of state affairs, Too busy with work, no time to talk to her. Also, she has noticed her age. Although she is only 24 years old, she is in the art world. She is already a big sister. Will she be concerned about these things I couldn't stop thinking about this and that, and then suddenly lost my mind and jumped down?" "good." "How's her room?" "Still maintained." "Really?" Nishio agreed when the phone rang. Take this opportunity.Totsukawa thanked Nishio and walked out of the vice-official office. President Kikuchi of the production company confirmed Nishio's words to Totsukawa: "Mr. Nishio likes to help people, and his willingness to help Sasaki Yuki is an example." "Because of his lover, Mr. Nishio bought a house for her in Nishi-Shinjuku, do you also know about this?" "I have heard of it a little bit." Kikuchi said with a smile, "The great thing about Mr. Nishio is that even if he spends money, he never puts on airs and makes others bow down. He never forces her to do what he likes. Generally speaking Once a man takes out the money, he won't even let the woman do the work." "Mr. Kikuchi, do you think she committed suicide or homicide?" "I don't think it was a homicide. It looks like suicide in every way." "If it was suicide, was it still a desire to get ahead?" "Yeah, a person who has been in the art world for 6 years and has not yet become famous, no matter who he is, will be restless." Ju said. "Anyone who works in the arts, from singers to actors, should travel a lot." "I just became a singer, and I'm going on tour, and I'm going to go all over Japan." "In that case, is it by plane?" To such a question as Totsukawa, Kikuchi smiled: "Most of the novices take trains, night trains." "you are right." "Why are you asking this?" "Ah, when I returned to Tokyo from Kyushu on March 5. Mr. Kimi, the supervisor, let Yuki Sasaki take the plane." "It was decided because she was in a bad mood and was in a hurry to go back to Tokyo. Kimi-kun said the same thing." "As the president, as an actress, is there any possibility for her to become a master?" Hearing Totsukawa's question, Kikuchi shook his fat body and said "Hey——" "I'm a producer, and I have hopes for any actor. No matter what kind of novice, I think he must To be able to become a tool and cultivate it. It is a person who was not good yesterday, maybe he will attract attention tomorrow. If you don’t think this way, you will not be able to do this job.” "yes," "That's what I said, but I'm also mentally prepared. Among them, some actors think that they won't achieve anything, so it's better to start a family earlier. Yuki Sasaki belongs to the category that is difficult to judge. She is beautiful and personable. She is smart and has a good temperament. I think she is very likely to be an actress as an actress. But I can't imagine what kind of actor she will become. Ah, with a solid backing like Mr. Nishio. She will not be troubled by life. I think she can study hard, and I also told her this idea." "What do you think of Mr. Nishio?" Facing Totsukawa's question.For a moment, Juchi showed a troubled look on his face, and then he smiled again: "You are really interesting." "Is the relationship between her and Mr. Nishio going well?" "What are you referring to?" "Does Nishio-san have a wife?" "Hey. I even have a son." "If Yuki Sasaki wants to be Mrs. Nishio, will Mr. Nishio find it difficult to deal with?" Hearing Totsukawa's interjection.Kikuchi laughed out loud: "This kind of situation will never happen." "Why are you so sure?" "If she had this plan, she would have quit the literary and art world long ago. She has followed Mr. Nishio. If it is done well, she may get married. She has no intention of becoming Mrs. Nishio at all. Because of this, she on the one hand Receive financial help from Nishio-san, on the one hand go out on tour as a new actor." "Mr. Nishio is very good at restraining himself. Although he has heard rumors that Sasaki Yuki has a close relationship with young men, according to ordinary people's calculations. Give her such an expensive apartment and give her financial assistance. , This woman is so free-spirited and self-willed, isn't it too much?" Totsukawa said a little puzzled. Kikuchi echoed, and further talked about his own opinion: "To that gentleman, one cannot use common sense to infer. Maybe he is an uncle in his attitude towards Sasaki, and that gentleman is very rich. .Aiding a Sasaki Yuki may not have any other purpose." Kamei and Kusaka met with several actors who had worked with Yuki Sasaki at the production company and told them about her. Interestingly.I heard two diametrically opposed opinions. Of course, everyone has two sides to a greater or lesser extent.Men with little guts can be very cruel.A well-liked woman can sometimes be quite wicked.but.When it comes to Sasaki Yuki, it is too extreme, and she is a dead woman.According to common sense, one should not speak ill of the deceased.But there are actresses who pout and say bad things about her.This surprised Kamei and Kusaka. What interested Kamei was.What they say about her is not gender related. Both Kamei and Kusaka thought Sasaki Yuki was young and beautiful.Some actresses and singers will blame her.Actors will always flatter her, but unexpectedly some of the actors also criticize her.This surprised them both. Those who praised Sasaki said she may have been "unwilling to admit defeat".The female singer Higashida Yuri, who was on stage almost at the same time as her, also said to Kamei: "Her concentration is always admirable." "In other words, she is a very hardworking person?" "Hey, it's like this. When we first became singers, we were almost all touring in places. The treatment was the worst and it was very hard. Even at that time, she was the hardest. When we were promoting the original record together. The two I personally do promotional activities all over the country, go to record stores in various places, and sing in front of the store. Although we hope that customers will buy our records, we are not even the slightest bit famous. Although we write billboards for Higashida Yuri and Onodera Yuki, there is no But I have to use singing to attract business, it is really painful. I often cry so much that I can't sing, but I have never seen her shed a tear. We both belong to the same supervisor, but a person like me should always Learn from her pretentious backbone." "Did you know that she has a patron named Shinichiro Nishio?" "I don't know the name, but I know she has a good patron." "She said it?" "No." Yuri Higashida smiled, "I can't remember, I went to the apartment in Nishi Shinjuku. I asked her, who bought such a luxurious apartment, and she said she bought it herself. But she I can't afford an apartment like that on my salary. I thought, she must have a wonderful patron." "Does she look like a suicidal woman?" "This is really embarrassing." Dongtian Baihe thought for a while and said, "After I learned of her dead letter, everyone said what I wanted to say. Some people said that, logically, like her who refused to admit defeat A woman will not commit suicide. It is also said that some very strong people suddenly make a "crack" one day, like a broken branch, and die as soon as they say they die. People who are very weak and full of diseases, There are some people who live a long life. Even strong athletes die suddenly. This is the same. Oh, remember, Tango, he was a marathon runner, right? He became a 'three' at the Tokyo Olympics ( I think that a person with an official position or level of merit—note) can run such a long distance. I think his mental strength is quite strong. However, one day, he suddenly committed suicide.” "But, don't you think who killed her?" This time, Kusaka asked the question. Higashida Yuri thought about it for a while, and replied: "I know that some people say all kinds of bad things about her. However, people who come to this world have a more or less strange temper, and some people hate them." place. What people call innocent singers are really vulgar girls. If they don't reach that level, they can't do the job. But generally speaking, these people just want to crowd others out and get ahead of themselves. I don't think Someone will kill her." "Is it all like this?" "Almost. Her ending is that she has no hope of becoming a singer, and she is not yet famous as an actress. Therefore, even if someone hates her, as an opponent, she will forgive her if she fails to succeed after all. Maybe she thinks she deserves it, So I'm sorry. If she succeeds and becomes a star, someone might really want to kill her." It was the 27-year-old young singer Wakazuki Goro who demoted Sasaki into a confusion. Wakatsuki is also a "front seat" (a supporting role performed by trainee entertainers before the lead role in the arena) singer, and has just returned from a tour in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kyushu. "This time in Kyushu, she also participated in the tour together. She said that she had decided not to sing songs and became a TV reporter. But on the first day in Sasebo, she said that she was in a bad mood and hurried back to Tokyo This is really irresponsible." After Ruoyue finished speaking like this, she said hypocritically, "People are already dead, so I don't want to say bad things." "Some people say that she is a hardworking person and has her own personality." Kamei said. Ruoyue waved her hands and said: "Speaking of this, if it's good for her, she is a woman who works hard. As for her personality, maybe she has it. However, she is a woman who is unwilling to do anything for others Woman. Because of this, she has no friends. She is beautiful and intelligent, but she has not had a single love affair, which is proof. At first men were attracted by her beauty, but once they learned that she was a woman. Just think about yourself, a very self-willed woman, all run away." "Are you one of them too!" Kamei asked, making Ruoyue angry: "That's not the case, from the very beginning, I kept her at arm's length." "Did you know she had a very rich patron?" "I've heard about it, and I think it must be a very rich and good-natured gentleman." "why?" "As long as a woman has a pretty face, everything is fine. Isn't that what men are like? I think the sponsor will definitely spend a lot of money on her." "Will she be killed by someone?" "Is that possible?" "It's still hard to find out about suicide and homicide. I just ask people who are familiar with her." "At least I will not commit suicide. She committed suicide out of helplessness. There is no hope of becoming a singer, and she has not yet succeeded as an actor. There is no way to die." "You said why she didn't succeed after staying in the art world for 6 years?" Ruo Yue replied to Sun Xia, "That's because she has no heart." "Heart--?" "Singing and acting naturally reflect the singer's heart. Singing is even more so. If her heart is dead, she can't succeed. This is my opinion." Ruoyue emphasized the role of the heart, as if speaking to herself of.If he has the heart to sing, he must become famous as a singer; he must have said these words to himself. (At least, this man won't kill her.) Ruoyue said that Sasaki Yuki is a woman who only thinks about herself.But he himself is trying his best to become famous, and he has no time to take care of other people's affairs.What's interesting is that no matter whether Sasaki Yuki is good or bad, they don't think she was killed, but they all say that she is more likely to commit suicide. Kamei and Kusaka returned to the Metropolitan Police Department. They reported to Totsukawa: "Her opinion of her has been mixed within the studio, but she has no reputation and therefore no competition." "That is, no one inside the studio sees her as a nasty competitor?" "Yes, people are always tolerant of those who cannot be their opponents." "So, it's suicide?" Totsukawa murmured. "Actually, the superior also asked us to make a decision as soon as possible. If the homicide claim can be established, immediately set up a search headquarters and start the search. If it is considered a suicide, the investigation must be terminated. It is also reasonable to carry out other major cases. " "It's never going to be suicide," Kusaka argued. "I know what you want to say;" Totsukawa said, "What you want to say is that in the middle of the night of March 5th, you saw Yuki Sasaki who was killed in the car on the Ascent Sakura." "Yes, I saw her fall on the floor of the third sleeper car. Although I can't be absolutely sure, but I have a direct feeling that it is her body." "But you were the only one who saw her. No, it was the prisoner and you who saw her. It will be very difficult to prove that it is Yuki Sasaki's body. It will have to be persuaded to our leader." "Can Shinichiro Nishio prove that he wasn't there when the incident happened?" "I did a little research." Totsukawa said and took out his notebook. "Before 5 p.m. on March 5, he discussed the expansion plan of National Railways with President Kimoto at the National Railway Corporation. His wife went back to her natal home in Sendai because her mother, who was nearly 80 years old, was seriously ill. He could not go back. At home, I stayed at the Tokyo Hotel next to the Tokyo train station on March 5. The next day, at 10:00 am on the 6th, I left the hotel and went to work at the Department of Transportation. This is Nishio himself’s account of his whereabouts from March 5th to 6th explained." "Is the situation true?" "Before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it is true that he had a meeting with the president of the National Railway Corporation. I called the hotel to confirm that he checked in at the Tokyo Hotel at 5:30. At 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, There's nothing wrong with going to work in the Department of Transportation." "Please wait a moment." Kusaka hurriedly opened the drawer on his desk, took out the train timetable, and began to look it up. "What are you going to do?" "I want to find out whether it is possible for Shinichiro Nishio to kill the woman on the Sakura train going up in terms of time." "You found the body shortly after leaving Hiroshima on the upbound Sakura train, right?" "yes." "If so, Nishio must have been on the upbound Sakura train at that time." Kusaka was still flipping through the timetable, and suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Nishio can take the Sakura train in Hiroshima on March 5. Even if he ends his meeting with the president of National Railways at 5 p.m., 5 p.m. Check in at the Tokyo hotel at half past one. But this hotel is very close to Tokyo Station, so he can come out quietly without telling the cashier at the door. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo at 6:00 p.m. If he takes the Tokyo train at 18:00 The "Photon Quotation Mark" train arrived at Hiroshima at 23:06. On the other hand, the upbound Sakura train from Sasebo and Nagasaki arrived at Hiroshima at 23:21, and departed from Hiroshima at 23:23. That is Said that he had enough time to take the Sakura train. Needless to say, if he got on the train, she might have killed Yuki Sasaki. Secondly, I have no way of knowing how he took the body with him from the running train after the murder I got away, but judging from the Shinkansen timetable, if you depart from Shin-Osaka at 6:00 in the morning, you can arrive in Tokyo at 9:10. This bus is "Photon 170". 57. From the perspective of time, he has plenty of time to take the "Photon 170" in Shin-Osaka. If he arrives in Tokyo at 9:10, he will leave Sasaki Yuki's body in the apartment yard in Nishi Shinjuku, Then I went to work at the transportation department at 10 am as if nothing had happened. I think it is possible. No, Sasaki Yuki's body was full of falls, and it is likely that Nishio moved the body to her room on the 8th floor and pushed it off the balcony. " "In terms of time, even if this is possible, there must be evidence that Sasaki Yuki was killed in the Sakura train. The motive must also be clarified. The first thing is to find out whether what you saw in the Sakura train is Facts. If there is no evidence, this case cannot be established with homicide as the goal of detection, and further investigations around Nishio cannot be carried out." "I understand." Kusaka said, showing a stubborn expression, "Police, please let me go to Kyushu. I just want to find conclusive evidence that Sasaki Yuki did not take the plane on March 5th.
