Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The End in the Snow

The man drove into the fishing village.This is another fishing village about 7 kilometers away from Sina Village. It was after 8 o'clock in the evening.The moonlight is like water in the beautiful night sky.Although it is subtropical Okinawa, it is the end of December after all, and the night is still very cool. The man got out of the car, the collar of his jacket stood up, and he approached the old man by the sea. "I want to go fishing at night, can you lend me a 'Sabani' with a motor?" There are five or six "Sabani" lined up on the beach. What a strange man, the old man looked at him puzzled.The man took his wallet out of his pocket.

"How about 20,000 yen a night? I park the car here, and the boat will definitely be returned to you." As he spoke, he stuffed two banknotes with a face value of 10,000 yen into the old man's hand. The old man looked at the man in astonishment. "Anyway, I won't go to sea for two or three days, so I'll just lend it to you. Why do you still have to give me so much money?" "Not much, gasoline is also very expensive now." The man showed his white teeth and smiled. It's a deal.The old man said enthusiastically: "You can't be hungry, let me make you some rice balls. You can use the boat on the far right. It's a newly replaced motor."

After speaking, the old man walked towards the house. The man returned to the car, took out the golf bag containing the rifle from the trunk of the car, and put it on the "Sabani" on the far right. About 10 minutes later, the old man came back with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.The girl holds a laminated lunch box and a thermos in her hands.There are rice balls in the lunch box and hot tea in the thermos. "What you need?" The old man put the things he brought in the boat and asked. "If there is a long rope, I would like to borrow one." said the man.The old man was puzzled, but he still brought a five or six meter long rope.While putting the rope in the boat, he saw the golf bag.

"Is that a fishing rod in that big bag?" "Ah, this is a fiberglass fishing rod." The man answered with a smile, and patted the bag lightly. The old man also brought small sardine baits.The man smiled wryly in his heart, took the bait, and started the motor of "Sabani". "Tom, tom, tom!" The motor of the double pumps vibrated on the sea in the dark night with its characteristic dry sound, and the man drove the "Sabani" towards the sea. After crossing the ring reef, you come to the open sea.The man turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards Onna Village.The sea was calm.

Under the moonlight, the cliff of Wanzuo Mao can be seen gradually.The man turned off the motor, picked up the oars in the boat, and rowed slowly. With the stroke of the oars, the noctilucent insects shone beautifully.The man whistled softly unconsciously, and then he hurriedly reprimanded himself in his heart, with a wry smile on his face.There was no trace of the mental anguish that a few hours earlier had caused the murder of a young man whom he had never met. On the left, a quiet beach and a small fishing village can already be seen.Undoubtedly, there was not a soul on the beach. The man put "Sabani" next to the atoll. Although they are all called atolls, they are actually of different shapes. Some are just out of the sea, and some protrude two or three meters high.The man tied the boat to a small tree-like coral reef with the prepared rope.

The coral reef is like a screen, and this little "Sabani" cannot be seen from the beach. The man turned his gaze to Manzamo.The black cliff is like a huge silhouette, only its outline can be seen.That flickering light on the cliff must be the light of a police flashlight. The man's current location is about 200 meters from the beach, which is the range of an M16 rifle.The man is confident in his shooting skills. The man ate the rice balls prepared for him by the old man and the girl, drank hot tea, and then calmly pulled the golf bag, took out the disassembled M16 rifle from it, and carefully installed it.Very skillful movement.Finally, he loaded the bullet, picked up the rifle, and took aim at the range. A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.The touch of the gun is always so fascinating.

It was not known whether Bosun and his family would be on the beach after daylight.If you don't come, you have to go back to the fishing village just now, and then wait here tomorrow. Whether it is a human or a beast, to catch prey requires a certain amount of stamina. The man raised his gun and took aim at a spot on the beach. In the evening, Totsukawa, Kamei, and Imamishi borrowed a room from the fisherman's house to rest together. Although the report from Tokyo was in line with expectations, Totsukawa was still happy.It has been confirmed that the culprit was Junichi Akamatsu, the last survivor of the 26 victims.The car used by the criminal was stolen from Jindaiji Temple in Chofu City. Totsukawa also believes that this is reasonable, because the Kasumigaseki Barracks of the US Army is near Jindaiji Temple, and the M16 rifle was stolen from this barracks.

Okinawa also confirmed a new fact. It's about the black used Corolla and the dead man. Although the correct autopsy results have not yet come out, it is basically certain that the injury was fatal to the man.But it is not clear who was beaten, whether he was injured or killed before the car fell.The fingerprint comparison sent to Tokyo has not yet been answered. The funny thing is that camera in the car.Although soaked in seawater, the 36 black and white films inside were still intact, so they were developed and printed immediately. A total of 10 of the 36 films were photographed.Looking at the enlarged photo, Totsukawa and the detectives couldn't help being interested, but also puzzled.

The first 4 photos are of burning cars on the beach of Oi River.Apparently, it's the car of first-class crew member Sato.There is also a photo of the ambulance team when they lifted the charred body. The next 4 are Nozawa Onsen.There are 3 landscape photos of Nozawa Onsen and Uenodaira Ski Resort.The fourth film is a photo of the hanging chair.As if after the shooting, the skiers looked down in unison, only the two lifts were empty, which looked terrible. The last two shots were taken on the vehicle ferry.Although the second photo is very small, it can be seen that it was taken by the bosun's family on the deck leaning against the railing of the ship.

Obviously, these 10 photos were taken by criminals.Was it filmed to prove the murder?Whether it was filmed just to show the vengeance of criminals is still unknown.But of course there would be no such pictures except for criminals.According to the photos, it is also clear that the criminal came to Okinawa on the same ferry as Kojima Boatswain. Imanishi Criminal Police believes that based on these photos, it should be said that the dead man is the criminal Junichi Akamatsu with a high accuracy rate.The criminal police of Kamei and the Okinawa Prefectural Police Station also think so. To be honest, Totsukawa is also hard to judge.Because the man who died in the car has no evidence to prove that he is not Akamatsu Junichi, but there is a lot of evidence to prove that he is a criminal.

If Akamatsu Junichi killed a man similar to himself and let him fall into the sea in a car, then before he fell, he would definitely destroy the man's face, making it difficult for people to distinguish.In fact, although the man's face was destroyed, it was because the car hit the coral reef, not the face that was destroyed beforehand.This has not been taken into account, and it can only be thought that he was Akamatsu Junichi himself.Moreover, the photos that were finally taken were placed beside the deceased, and the stolen driver's license that proved to be not Junichi Akamatsu was also placed on his body, all of which made people think that this was not a double. On the other hand, Totsukawa also thought that this seemed to be a trap set by criminals. First, the most important M16 rifle was not found.Because the iron hook under the car body is very crooked, it is believed that the gun may have fallen into the sea, but it has not been found so far. Second, just when our side was going well, there was such a strange situation.In Nozawa Onsen, also during the inspection at the inspection station, a car equipped with an M16 rifle was easily intercepted.While everyone was excited, the criminal did everything he could and took the opportunity to slip away. Its daybreak. It is already December 29th, and in this small fishing village, every household has also started to prepare for the New Year.Early in the morning, every family is pounding and making sticky cakes.Seeing this scene, Kojima's daughter Yuka was overjoyed. There was no sign of criminals coming to attack.One of the police officers who were assigned to be on duty at Wanzuo Mao said that he saw the black Corolla car that fell into the sea yesterday afternoon.And he also thought that the dead man was a criminal. "Looks like the criminal Chisong is dead." Kamei said to Totsukawa. Although there is no reason to relax vigilance, it is terrible to relax mentally, Totsukawa thought so.If the deceased is a criminal, such strict vigilance is of course worthless.If not, the current mood is worrisome. Totsukawa and the others drove around in the alley in a police car, and an old woman from the village came forward with a ready-made sticky cake in her hand. After thanking them, they had just received the sticky cake when they saw Kojima and his wife running out of the house together. "Have you seen Yuka?" Kojima asked anxiously. "Don't worry, I'm watching the pounding and making of sticky cakes at the opposite house!" Totsukawa said with a smile.The couple hurried to the house.Kojima looked around the yard, then turned to Totsukawa and shouted angrily: "No!" Totsukawa's face suddenly changed.But Yuka didn't come here. "I must have gone to see the sea." After hearing Totsukawa's words, Kojima and his wife immediately ran to the beach.Totsukawa and the others followed closely behind.He thought about security, just in case. The Kojima couple ran onto the beach. Five "Sabani" were placed on the beach, and only one was floating five or six meters away from the shore.Since it was an inland beach, Yuka probably walked across the water.She was lifting her feet to get into the boat. The Kojima couple walked towards "Sabani" with knee-high sea water. Totsukawa also came to the beach, seeing this scene, suddenly a strong uneasiness hit his heart.He couldn't help but took out a pistol from the underwear pocket of his jacket, and looked around. Cobalt blue seas, azure skies, white sandy beaches.Looking up at the cliff of Manzamo, only the figure of the police can be seen. There were no signs of danger to be seen anywhere. Is this unease just an illusion?Totsukawa secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Suddenly, there was a sharp gunshot on the quiet sea. The bosun of the island who had already boarded the child's "Sabani" boat, with the sound of gunfire, his robust body somersaulted and fell into the sea.The water splashed everywhere, and the sea surface of the colorful coral reef was dyed red. Haruko screamed and knelt in the "Sabani", her hands stretched out to the surface of the sea.The sound of the second bullet shattered the surrounding air, and Haruko's body jumped up, as if chasing her husband, and plunged into the sea. On "Sabani", only 7-year-old Yuka was left crying. Detectives from the Kamei, Imamishi, and prefectural police stations rushed towards the place where the Kojima couple fell into the water. "Search for criminals!" Totsukawa blushed anxiously, and cut back loudly. At this time, behind the atoll, a "Sabani" drove away with the sound of the motor.On the boat was a man wearing a bamboo hat woven from betel nut leaves. "it's him!" Totsukawa shouted, raising the pistol, one or two shots, but they missed, so the distance at that time exceeded the range of the pistol.Police officers from the prefectural police station picked up the prepared sniper rifles to aim and fire. On the sea surface at about 200 meters, only fragments of the shattered atoll reef were seen flying.When the second shot was about to be fired, the "Sabani" on the sea had rushed out of sight. The police pushed the "Sabani" on the beach to the sea, but most of them were "Sabani" without motors, and the ones with motors couldn't start. "I'm going to call for helicopter support." Yucheng criminal police ran to the police car. "It's too late." Totsukawa thought so.It will take at least 30 minutes for the helicopter to fly here.During this period, criminals can take the "Sabani" to the nearby coast and then hide anywhere on the island. Kojima and his wife died. Kojima Boatswain was shot in the head.Wife Haruko was shot in the abdomen.Both died almost instantly. Two measures were taken at once. First, conduct a thorough search of the west coast, especially north of Onna village. Second, the Naha Airport and Naha Port in and out of Okinawa will carry out interrogation at the same time. It can now be clearly concluded that the deceased who suffered the same fate as the car was not the criminal Junichi Akamatsu. Akamatsu Junichi is still alive, and he shot and killed Kojima and his wife. Akamatsu Junichi's photos were reprinted in large numbers and distributed to all police officers in Okinawa. Naha Airport and Naha Port have deployed 15 police officers respectively. Regarding the investigation of the first measure, we got news on the same day. In the afternoon, a fishing village about 7 kilometers north of Onna village reported that someone lent a night fishing guest a "Sabani" with a motor last night. "According to an old man, at around 8:00 last night, a young man came and borrowed 'Sabani' for 20,000 yen." Tamaki detective reports to Totsukawa. "Is that man Junichi Akamatsu?" "Probably so. I showed the photo of Chisong to the old man and his granddaughter, but they said that because it was night, they couldn't see the face clearly. But they said that they were from the local area, and they were around 25 years old. It came with a car. It must be Akamatsu.” "and then?" "Just after 10 o'clock this morning, the man came back in a 'Sabani'. The old man was about to greet him, but he seemed to be running away, so he quickly got into the car and drove away. From the time point of view, That's the criminal. Since it was broad daylight, he probably didn't want his face to be seen clearly, so he ran away." "Where's the rifle?" "The old man and his granddaughter didn't see it either, but they saw him holding a big cloth bag, which they said was filled with fishing rods. From what the old man said, it looked like a golf bag." "If it's a golf bag, if you take the rifle apart, it'll fit right in. What about the car?" "Just know it's a white car. No more definite clues." Totsukawa looked at his watch, it was 1:5 in the afternoon.The criminal Akamatsu Junichi is still on this island. In Nozawa Onsen, let the criminal escape smoothly.But here, he will not let him go.Because, the criminal chose the wrong place to kill. Okinawa is an island.The only way to escape from here is by plane or boat.If these two exits are blocked, the criminal will certainly not be able to escape.Moreover, when he was in Nozawa Onsen, he still knew nothing about the criminal.But now, the name and appearance of Akamatsu Junichi have been mastered. "For the sake of the reputation of the Okinawa Prefectural Police Department, the criminal must also be caught." Yucheng criminal policeman said with piercing eyes. Totsukawa also felt at this time that for the sake of the reputation of the Metropolitan Police Department, this serial murderer must also be arrested. However, the night of December 29 has come, and there is no news of the arrest of criminals in the interrogation office. December 30. The multiple rape criminal wanted nationwide was arrested at Naha Airport.Later, temporary supplements such as magazines also reported the news, but there was no news about the arrest of the criminal who shot the murderer. This evening, a strange report came. An abandoned car was found near the northernmost island of Okinawa, Ban Tona. The terrain of Okinawa is relatively flat from the south to the center.But to the north, there are mountainous areas, and the coast becomes rough.16 kilometers further north from Betoname is Cape Bedo, the northernmost point of Okinawa Island.But the houses and various shops of the residents lasted only up to Bitona. The car found in Ben Tona is a white, semi-new Sunshine car with an Okinawa license plate. Stranger still, in a nearby fishing village, a "Sabani" with a motor was lost. When Totsukawa heard the report at the prefectural police station, he opened the map of Okinawa.Looking at the map, his face suddenly turned pale. There is a small island 22 kilometers away from Okinawa, which is marked as Yoron Island on the map.There are ships running between Yoron Island and Oki Nagabe Island.There is a flight to Kagoshima from Okurabu Island. Did Junichi Akamatsu leave the car on the side of Tona, then steal a "Sabani" with a motor and flee to Yoron Island? It is thirty-seven or eight kilometers from Batuna to Yoron Island.This distance can be reached by "Sabani", because it is said that the fishermen with full lines once went to the Indian Ocean with "Sabani" without a motor.It seems that "Sabani", which looks unreliable on the surface, is really stable. I found out that the white semi-new Sunshine car was sold on the afternoon of December 28.The sales department is near Sina Village.The buyer is said to be a young man wearing large sunglasses, a betel leaf hat and a golf bag. "That's right, the criminal." Totsukawa thought. "So, did the criminal flee to Yoron Island in 'Sabani'?" As if to confirm Totsukawa's worries, the criminal Akamatsu Junichi was not caught until December 31, before New Year's Day.Inquiries at Naha Airport and Naha Port found nothing. During this period, according to the fingerprints, it was found out that the young deceased who sank into the sea with the car was exactly the Tokyo college student Wakamatsu Kazuyuki on the driver's license.However, the investigation of this issue can only deepen Totsukawa's sense of failure. It's dawn, and the new year begins again. As soon as the New Year arrives, Naha Airport and Naha Port are suddenly crowded and lively.In order to prevent criminals from taking advantage of the panic and slipping away, the investigation offices tightened their inspections.But Akamatsu Junichi still hasn't appeared. When January 3 ended and January 4 began, Totsukawa felt compelled to draw conclusions. "It appears to have failed." Totsukawa said bluntly to the two subordinates. "At this point, there's no hope left." "Then, do you still think that the criminal stole 'Sabani' and fled to Yoron Island?" Kamei looked at Totsukawa with red eyes. "Honestly, I don't know. Maybe the criminal pretended to escape on the 'Sabani', and then hid somewhere on the island, waiting for the opportunity to escape when the investigation is loose. However, the question now is, if the criminal has escaped What will he do next when he returns home?" "Are you going back to Tokyo?" "Tokyo has already contacted. Detective Ogawa is in ambush near the residence of Akamatsu Junichi's parents." "You asked Akamatsu what to do next? Are you thinking of seeing the only survivor, Takeda Ship Doctor? Will Akamatsu go to Brazil to kill him?" "Perhaps so. But there are more dangerous speculations." "What's more dangerous?" "If Akamatsu's hatred for the 6 remaining survivors develops to the extreme, he may turn his hatred to the executives of the New Japan Airlines head office." Totsukawa is not joking, Akamatsu Junichi is only 25 years old, and it is difficult to predict how the hatred and anger of this young man will develop. On January 5th, Totsukawa and the others returned to Tokyo. Unsurprisingly, the police came under fire from the press.With the culprit already identified, they watched him kill the Kojima couple and then let him escape.However, no matter how much the press criticizes, they can't say a word of complaint. Even the Chief of the First Investigation Section, who had always protected Totsukawa, looked unhappy. As soon as Totsukawa returned to the cold Tokyo, his cold recurred immediately, he kept sneezing, and the tip of his nose was red.Every time I catch a cold, it always shows up on the tip of the nose. In addition to Akamatsu's parents' house, as well as his friends' and relatives' houses, Totsukawa deployed criminal police to ambush him. However, Chisong never appeared. On the afternoon of January 8, Yucheng Criminal Police from the Okinawa Prefectural Police Station called. "Still no Akamatsu Junichi. But got a noteworthy report to report to you." Yucheng criminal police said so. "Is it about the red pine?" "It's not very clear yet. This is information provided by a freight store in Nato City, the central region. The head office of this freight store is in Tokyo, and it is called Maruichi Freight Company. On the evening of December 29 last year, a young man The man requested that a small shipment be sent to Tokyo by air.” "The 29th? That's the day that Captain Kojima was killed." "Yes. But more than that, the goods were packed in a long and thin wooden box, and they were said to be half-sets of golf clubs." "Half a set of bats?" "Did you get cheated? Besides, the clerk who accepted it now recalls that it weighs more than half a set of golf clubs. There may be an M16 rifle in it." "But the goods were sent without verification?" "I have already inquired about this at the airport, and it is very surprising. Unless the luggage carried by passengers needs to be checked in doubt, the small luggage sent will be exempted from inspection." "Oh, yes. So, what did the man who sent the box look like?" "Because I'm very busy at the end of the year, so I don't remember very clearly. I only said that it was a man in his twenties, wearing a bamboo hat made of betel nut leaves and a pair of big sunglasses. The delivery location was 206 Futaba Apartment, Ohara, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. No. Watanabe Ichiro." Ohara, Setagaya Ward, is located at the intersection of the 7th Ring Road and Koshu Street. It is a place famous for its serious car exhaust and noise pollution. Detective Kamei stretched his neck looking for Futaba's apartment. It turned out to be a small 3 storey building in a secluded area behind the commercial street.The rooms are one dwelling with kitchen and bathroom.Now, can even such a dwelling be called an apartment? A fifty-two or three-year-old man who doesn't seem very responsible is the caretaker of the apartment. "Is Ichiro Watanabe at number 206 here?" Detective Kamei asked rudely.Originally, Kamei usually spoke very politely, but because of his failure in Okinawa, he was full of anger and spoke in a rush. "Well, what's the matter with you?" Sure enough, the administrator's answer was not very responsible. "I want to meet him." "Oh?" When the pair of sleepy eyes behind the administrator's glasses hadn't been raised yet, Detective Kamei quickly went up to the second floor. He knocked on the door of Room 206, but no one answered.Detective Kamei put on his gloves, turned the handle on the door, and the door opened. It turned out that the door was not locked. This is a room of nearly 12 square meters.Kamei entered the room and found that all the furniture and daily necessities were gone.Not to mention the TV, the table, even the curtains are gone.The only thing in the room was a cheap gas stove and a folded quilt in the corner.When I opened the closet, there was nothing inside, as if it was just a place for people to sleep. There are pillows on the quilt, and two room keys are placed side by side.It seemed that the owner of this room would never come back. "Is the owner of house 206 this man?" Kamei stretched out Akamatsu's photo in front of the irresponsible administrator.The administrator blinked his listless eyes and said: "Watanabe? He's wearing big sunglasses, he said he has a cold, and he's wearing a mask." "But he won't always be dressed like that." "When I met Watanabe, it was the time when he came to borrow the house." "when?" "It must have been December 17 last year. In the evening, he came here in a hurry, saying that he saw the sign of 'Available Room', and paid the deposit and housing rights at that time." "What about the contract at that time?" "Well, he didn't fill out the contract for me." "why?" "He said he didn't bring the stamp, so I gave him the contract form. As far as we are concerned, as long as he pays the royalties and other payments, he will be at ease, and it is the end of the year, and he will forget it when he is busy. .” "Since then, have you not seen him once?" "This... Oh, that day, we went to get the quilt together. By the way, he didn't wear a mask at that time. You can show me the photo again." The administrator lifted his glasses up and stared at Junichi Akamatsu's photo. "It's this man, yes. What's the matter with this man?" The administrator raised his head and looked at the face of Kamei detective and asked, but Kamei didn't answer him. "Has anyone come to find Ichiro Tanibe? Or called him?" "No. Oh, it's just that the guy from the freight store came here and asked me to tell him Watanabe's room, so I pointed him out." "What day?" "Probably January 4th, the afternoon of the 4th." "Was Ichiro Watanabe in the room at that time?" "Should be there. Because the delivery man left with nothing in his hand." The delivery person is probably from the Maruichi Freight Company.In order to clarify this fact, Kamei went to the Setagaya branch of Maruichi Shipping Company. On January 4, it was a young deliveryman who delivered goods to Futaba Apartment.Unlike the apartment manager, he answered the question simply and frankly. "Oh, Watanabe is in the room. When I knocked on the door and said it was from Maruichi Freight Company, he seemed to be waiting anxiously, and immediately came out of the room." "Is it this person?" Kamei showed him the photo of Akamatsu, but the delivery man suddenly looked embarrassed. "I don't know, it kind of looks like it, but he was wearing big sunglasses and . . . " "Still wearing a mask?" "Yes. He said he had a cold." "Did you say anything?" "No, just stamped silently." "Is it a golf club?" "Yes. It's a half-set of golf clubs. It says so." To be on the safe side, Kamei had to look at the receipt again.The stamp on it is a rough seal with nothing to see. Kamei went to the shop that rented quilts again.Because the man took off his mask and sunglasses here, the shop owner saw the photo and recognized Akamatsu Junichi immediately. The fingerprints in room 206 were tested, and the hair on the quilt was also sampled for identification. As a result, many fingerprints of Junichi Akamatsu were found.The hair is also that of an adult man, with a slightly wavy texture.And Akamatsu Junichi's hair is exactly the so-called natural curly hair that is close to the form of perm. Junichi Akamatsu must have rented a room at Futaba Apartment on December 17th. Why change your name and surname to rent an apartment?Is it as a hiding place for yourself?Or find a place to receive it for mailing rifles? Judging from the two room keys left in the room, he no longer wants to use that house anymore.Does this mean that Akamatsu Junichi's goal of revenge has been achieved? But Totsukawa didn't think so. Judging from the phenomenon that the criminal deliberately sent the murder weapon M16 rifle from Okinawa to Tokyo, received it and transferred it away, he still has to take some action. As the target of the attack, the ship doctor Taketa in Brazil should be the first.As a result, plainclothes police officers were deployed on international flights at Haneda Airport. Captain Miyamoto's wife returned to her natal home in Aomori City.Totsukawa asked the county police there to also step up their vigilance. In addition, as a precautionary measure, the New Japan Air Lines head office has also been alerted. However, the days passed by, but nothing happened. "Have we been fooled by Junichi Akamatsu for no apparent reason?" The chief of the first search department called Totsukawa, looking at the cold scenery outside the window, he seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Totsukawa.The calendar on the wall already read January 14th. "Are you saying we've been cheated again?" Totsukawa asked in a low-spirited voice.He was also deeply anxious about this unresponsive phenomenon. "Junichi Akamatsu took the risk of posting the M16 rifle to Tokyo on purpose. Anyone would think that this rifle still has its uses." "Is such that." "Did Akamatsu have expected us to make such a judgment, so he deliberately set up a trap. When we considered what target he was going to attack next, at Haneda Airport, when deploying alerts on the New Japan Airline, and whether he would hide in a What kind of remote countryside hides and laughs at us for being so busy?" "In that case, he'll get rid of the M16 rifle." "Yes. But who would send it from Okinawa to Tokyo on purpose just to throw it away. It must be for use. Is there a trick here?" Totsukawa didn't affirm the section chief's idea, but he didn't deny it either. You have to think about it this way.However, despite this, the current vigilance must not be lifted.If the vigilance was lifted, Chisong would be too incompetent if he hurt anyone again, so he could only take the blame and resign. January 15.Today is coming-of-age day. It seems to be celebrating a festival, and Tokyo has been snowing since the morning.This is the first snow this year. This is a rare heavy snow in Tokyo, and it didn't stop until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.In the Hachioji area in the suburbs, the snow accumulation reached 20 centimeters. On the upper reaches of the Akikawa River, which is the birthplace of the Tama River, there are still fields and miscellaneous forests.In Tokyo, I really didn't expect there to be such a place with a rural flavor. Kamikawaguchi in Hachioji City, as it used to be called, is Kamikawaguchi Village in Minami Tama County.It is still consistent with its name. The miscellaneous woods behind the village also turned into a silver world in the snow. The owner of this miscellaneous forest is a farm family.The farmer's wife remembered that there were no vegetables in the house, so she went to dig the radish buried in the soil.The peasant woman took her hoe and walked towards the snow-covered miscellaneous woods. After digging out three radishes one after another, the peasant woman stopped her hands, straightened her waist, and unconsciously looked into the depths of the miscellaneous forest. "Ah!" She was surprised. There was clearly a person, whose neck and shoulders were covered with snow, sitting motionless under a big tree. "In such a heavy snow day, are you frozen and unable to walk?" Thinking this way, the peasant woman took a hoe and approached to have a look. The snow on the branches fell from time to time, and the peasant woman walked towards the man while brushing the snow away with her hands.When the distance was two or three meters, the peasant woman stood there in horror. Because the young man sitting in the snow was clearly dead. The appearance of that death is also very strange. The muzzle of the rifle was stuck in the mouth, and one bare foot was hooked on the trigger of the gun with one toe.The bullet had gone through the back of the head, which was sticky and wet. The peasant woman was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground.She desperately controlled herself and ran to the police station.Although it was reported in later newspapers as "reporting to the police calmly", in fact, the peasant woman fell down many times in the snow and could barely breathe. A 52-year-old patrolman from the police station, wearing high-waisted rubber boots, waded through the snow and rushed to the scene. Even he was surprised when he saw the appearance of the deceased. However, he had been through the war, and he remembered the method Japanese soldiers often used when they committed suicide. It looked like he had died before the snow, because the blood was all under the white snow. The patrolman checked the pockets of the deceased's coat, but it was difficult to reach in because the clothes were wet from the snow.He took out a wallet containing 20,000 yen and a crew manual from his pocket. "Akamatsu Junichi." The patrolman read the name, and his expression suddenly became tense. Isn't this the serial murderer designated by the Metropolitan Police Department to arrest! It's Junichi Akamatsu.
