Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Another Corpse

Asami gets in touch with Mikichi Megata.Mu Xing has been released on bail from detention.Because he is an important thief identified by the police, he is generally not released on bail, but he reluctantly agreed because a well-known member of parliament provided a guarantee and wrote a report himself. When he came out, Asami was taken aback.But Mu Xing casually smiled and said, "Boss, I can get in no matter where I am. No matter how strong the door lock is, it is useless to me. Because I hold those things that big people are afraid to disclose. privacy." "Take this privacy as a deal, let him be your guarantor?"

"exactly." "Then you might as well find me." "If I ask you to be a guarantor, I can get out, but I can't get out." "You made it very clear." "The police have no conclusive evidence to prove that I am a little flying squirrel, and they will acquit me sooner or later." "you are amazing." Asami once again felt the potential huge energy of the shape of the eye.Asami told Mugata about the inscriptions between Jiyoko and Kinoshita Taro and the relationship between Matsushita Hisako, and asked him to go to Ito's Shioka Kunizun Villa or Fueki Hospital to find out about Hisako.After thinking about it for a while, Mugata said:

"I'm out on bail now, so it's inconvenient to do public activities. However, this matter is interesting, I'll go and find out." "I'm glad you could help me." "If that woman's body is found in Guozun's villa or Dimu Hospital, there will be a lot of excitement." "Guo Zun is already half dead, and now he can be put to death." Mugata said to give him some time, and went back. Once the Yamamotos were arrested, they searched five places including his residence and the residence of Sugai Taeko. The property stolen by Yoshie Matsuda included 3 million yen in fixed deposits at the post office, 2 million yen in cash, jewelry and precious metals, rings, necklaces, earrings, mink fur coats, etc., equivalent to about 8 million yen.

However, although the police conducted a thorough search of various places separately, they did not find the above things.If this is the case, they have to reluctantly prosecute when the suspect denies the crime.The procuratorate is very cautious about the prosecution of the suspect who denies the fact of the crime. At this time, a report was received from Kitazawa's pawn shop in Setagaya District that they found that someone came to pawn with items in the catalog of particularly important items that the police issued a national order to pursue.This pawn shop named "Kinmaru Zhiya" is located in Kitazawa 2-chome. When customers come to pawn, they have to compare the pawned items with the police's important items catalog, and found that the pearl necklace is very similar to the items in the catalog. But he accepted it calmly and called the police immediately.

Cao Chang and Shimoda rushed to the pawn shop, detained the items, and asked the victim's sister Seko Chie to identify them and confirmed that they belonged to the victim.The name of the pawn is Eriko Kajigi, who lives at No. 206 "Daizawa Youth Apartment" 2-3X-1X Daizawa, Setagaya-ku.So, Caochang and Shimoda went straight to Daizawa. The so-called "youth apartment" is a medium-sized residential unit building built by prefabricated panels that has recently emerged.As soon as I pressed the doorbell of room 206, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside, and then the door opened.A young woman in a gaudy gown that looked like pajamas poked her head out.She has a dull and featureless appearance, but it is not difficult to imagine her occupation from the decadent and charming atmosphere that permeates her.

"Are you Eriko Kajigi?" "Yes. How about you?" Eriko looked at the two uninvited men in front of her, and her eyes were not so much guarded as critical. "We are the police, and we want to know something from you." Shimoda said. The other party immediately showed a serious expression and said, "I didn't do anything bad for the police to investigate." "Is this necklace yours?" "Yeah. How did it get into your hands? I don't have much work this month, and money is a bit tight, so I put it in the pawn shop and pawn some money for emergencies."

Eriko instantly showed an expression like a child who was caught doing naughty things by adults. "Is it really yours?" "Why are you so wordy. Can I pawn other people's things?" "This is stolen goods from a murder and robbery case. You have this thing, which means that you are the principal or accomplice in the murder case." "Murder for money!" Hui Lizi's face was pale and his expression was stiff. "You killed Matsuda Yoshie and took this necklace, right? Be honest!" No matter how hard Shimoda asked, Eriko was tongue-tied and silent for a long time.During this period, Cao Chang looked around the house, but there was no one else except her.

"I... I didn't kill anyone!" She managed to squeeze out a sentence. "Then why do you have this necklace?" "Don't... someone else gave it to me." "For you?" "Yes, really. I didn't expect such a terrible thing." "If you're lying, you'll know right away." "I'm not lying. It was given to me by a customer in the shop." "What's his name?" "But, I don't think he will..." "Who? The man who gave you the necklace..." "Kume. But, he's a very nice guy. He doesn't do things like rob..."

"Where does this Kume live?" Knowing Kume Yuksuke, the new suspect, from Eriko's mouth, he started a secret investigation on Kume. Kume runs a real estate intermediary company called "Kume Quandiscount" in the "Ming Daimae" area. The office is located in the building in front of the station. There are 6 employees. They are mainly engaged in a wide range of businesses such as brokering the sale of land, houses, and rental housing. .Live in a luxurious house in Ohara-cho, Setagaya-ku, and hire a full-time driver. However, as the investigation deepened, it was discovered that Kume's actual financial situation was difficult.Not only was the company poorly managed and its performance was poor, but it also recently put its own house in a huge real estate transaction.The loan from the bank is also quite huge, and it seems that he even borrowed a lot of usury.Before operating real estate, he opened a karaoke bar in Liberty (here the four characters are unclear) store and in Shinjuku, but the result was that he had no beginning and no end, and he gave up halfway.

In addition, the investigation also learned that the victim rented an apartment in Ikebukuro through Kume's intermediary.Although he is not a regular visitor to Laurel, he has been there a few times. Kume opened a checking account at the Meidaimae branch of Hishii Bank, and now has almost no balance, but deposited 2 million yen in cash on March 17.This amount matches the amount of cash stolen from the victim. Kume is a frequent visitor to the "Cupid" bar in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, where Eriko works. He is obsessed with Eriko and often sends some money to please her.The pearl necklace was given to her on March 20.This is the 4th day after the incident.

"It's really bright and dark." Shimoda returned to the police station, unable to restrain his excitement.Yamamoto firmly denies the crime of homicide. Seeing that the detention period is approaching, when the search of the headquarters begins to do nothing, the character Kume Yukyu suddenly appears, making the dull air alive.At the search meeting in the evening, everyone came back with their prey, and there was a lively atmosphere.The atmosphere of the meeting is different when you get nothing and when you return with a lot of rewards. "Recently, Kume's company has a new young man called Tabe Ijoji. Although he is a new employee, he has an arrogant attitude and arrogant words and deeds. After checking, it turns out that he is from Kume's hometown. When Kume opened a karaoke bar in Shinjuku, he was Kume's helper," Shimoda said. Everyone's eyes focused on Shimoda, meaning to ask what articles are in it.Shimoda continued: "After the karaoke bar closed down, Tabei did wine and sex business in many places. Before returning to Kume, he worked part-time at 'Metisa' in Roppongi." Shimoda vaguely remembered the name "Metisa", but couldn't remember what it had to do with the case. "Medissa is a discotheque. Some people probably still remember it. It's the place where Eiko Fujishiro often goes." This sentence caused a lot of discussion in the meeting.It is a coincidence that Tabei works part-time at the disco that Eiko Fujishiro often goes to. This coincidence deserves attention. "So, maybe Tabei and Eiko know each other." Nasu leaned out and said, "In a place like a discotheque, people come and go, bustling, and the salesperson may not remember all the customers. So, maybe Eiko knows Tabei, this is A very important condition. Because Yingzi happened to be at Jiazhi's house, witnessed the murder process, and found that the criminal was someone she knew, she screamed out in shock. It is conceivable that Tianbei suddenly found out that someone recognized her, and suddenly felt murderous. Let this person exist. In fact, no matter whether Eiko knows Tabei or not, the witnesses at the murder scene will probably die. So I think it is very important for Tabei and Eiko to know this." "When did Tabei join Kume Company?" Kasai asked. "The end of March. Not long after the incident happened. Maybe the police are afraid that the police will come to Metisa to investigate Yingzi's whereabouts." "We must further investigate the situation of Tabei." Nasu's eyes sparkled slightly. Tabe Ijoji, 28 years old, was born in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture. He was divorced and now lives with a 23-year-old waiter named Otsuki Yasue.After graduating from high school, he didn't have a job and stayed at home for a while. Later, he came to Tokyo through the relationship with Kume from his hometown and helped out at the "Enju" karaoke bar run by Kume.The woman he later married was also working at the bar at the time, and he knew that this woman was also related to Kume, who was the matchmaker for their marriage.This triangular relationship is really unclear. After leaving Enju, he has worked in many bars in Tokyo, but has always maintained a relationship with Kume.What's even more surprising is that Eriko Kajigi is also related to Tabei, who introduced her to Kume. This kind of handsome man with a dark and grim expression is very popular with women, but he is cruel.When he was in "Yuanju", he fought with local hooligans and had a criminal record. As a result, the police's attention was fully focused on the two suspects, Kume and Tabei.The motive of committing the crime is speculated that Kume's business was in trouble, so he colluded with Tabei and robbed money. After negotiating with the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, the search headquarters filed an application on December 4 to determine Kume and Tabei as the real culprits and request approval for the arrest of "suspects of robbery, murder, and abandonment of corpses" and the search and seizure of related items. At 7 a.m. on December 5th, in order to arrest Kume and Tabei at the same time and conduct a search, all 89 members of the headquarters were searched. With the support of the police stations in each jurisdiction, the police were divided into 5 groups, and the two people's residences and Kume's company were separately searched. The office and other 5 places took action together. Tabei was arrested while sleeping at home.Kume returned home at 8:00 pm, but received a call from a woman at around 11:30, went out around 1:00 am, and has not returned. In fact, the police had already deployed around Kume's house, but he slipped out while the police were changing shifts and was not found. The police speculated that the woman calling Kume might be Eriko, and rushed to her house immediately.Eriko has not come back after going to work at night. The police had already warned Eriko not to tip off the news, and she also knew that the police were targeting Kume, but the police never expected that she would still disclose it to Kume, and this woman took advantage of her. If the arrest fails, the prisoner is likely to escape.However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Kume has not heard the wind and flew away.Probably received a call from a woman by chance at night, go out and meet her. The police are squatting at home, and he will always come back.However, if he heard the news that he was being hunted outside, he would probably flee in a panic. Strict and complete secrecy must be maintained prior to arrest.In order not to let the journalists find out what happened, they went to the suspect's residence and company in twos and threes.However, because two prisoners were arrested and the relevant places were searched at the same time, the atmosphere of strict vigilance may still be noticed by reporters. As long as there is a newspaper to spread the news, Kume will be in it. As a result of the search, Matsuda Yoshie's fur coat and accessories were found in Kume's house.Kume's wife said: "Her husband bought her a mink fur coat when he traveled to Canada, but he didn't know that he had rings and jewelry." Kume went to Canada for a trip in August of the year before last, and the mink fur coat was given to his wife in April this year, and the time did not match. In addition, a blood-stained printed blouse and skirt were found in a special locker for Tabei of Kume Corporation.A laundry strip with "FUJISIRO" written on it was sewn into the collar of the shirt, and grass seeds and dirt were stained on the hem of the skirt. I showed it to Kume's wife for identification, and she said she hadn't seen it.So it was sent to the scientific inspection institute for chemical inspection.The grass seeds are mugwort and quinoa grass seeds, and the soil is a brown soil rich in iron oxide called the Kanto roll lamination.The blood on the shirt was human blood, type B, which was consistent with Eiko Fujishiro's blood type. So far, it can be confirmed that Kume and Tabei jointly killed Matsuda Yoshie, and the fate of Fujishiro Eiko, who probably witnessed the crime at the scene, can also be determined. After Tabe Jingzhangji was arrested, he refused to admit it at first, and then surrendered after showing the clothes of Fujishiro Eiko found in his cabinet in front of him. "Around January this year, Kume told me about his plan to kill Matsuda Yoshie and rob money, and asked me for help. Although I was desperate because I lost everything because of gambling, I didn't want to make money and kill myself, so I refused his request. However, Kume said that as long as the body is hidden in a safe place where no one will find it, it will be safe and will never fall into the hands of the police. These arrangements are completely left to him. He also said that Kaede's property is quite large , two people split equally, almost each of them can get 10 million yen. All the things are done by him, as long as I help hide the body. After his repeated requests, I finally agreed. " "Kume's company is at the end of the road. If it doesn't raise 3 million yen by the end of March, it will close down immediately. He also borrows money from usury himself, so he is forced to rob other people's money or commit suicide with his family." "We decided to do it on the night of March 16. At around 3 o'clock that afternoon, Kume contacted Matsuda Yoshie, saying that there was a good piece of land and wanted her to see the detailed information. Kaede replied that he would come home around 12 o'clock in the evening." "Kiae entrusted Kume a long time ago, saying that he wanted to invest the idle money in real estate, and asked him to pay attention to suitable land." "That night, I drove Kume's car to Kaede's house together. She came back from the store a little early today and greeted us warmly. If there were other people present, the implementation of the plan would have stopped, but apart from her, it seemed No one else." "We sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted while drinking tea. Kaede asked what kind of land it was, and Kume took out the fake documents from the briefcase. Tie her hands and feet with rope. Threatened to take out the money, or I will kill you. Kaede said that the things were in the wardrobe drawer, and told where the key was. Kume put all the cash, jewelry, precious metals, etc. in the drawer. Put it in his briefcase. Kume said it was dangerous to withdraw bank deposits, so forget it. So I didn’t take it.” "After taking the money, Kume told me to hold down Kaede's hands and feet so that she wouldn't let her struggle. I advised him not to kill anyone. He scolded me and said that if we let her go, the two of them would be arrested immediately. So Kume used Kaede The thin sash of the waist choked her neck, and I stuffed the towel into her mouth and held her down hard to keep her from struggling." "Jiazhi finally softened all over. Just as we breathed a sigh of relief, we suddenly heard a splash in the room next to us. We opened the sliding door, thinking that there was no one else, but Eiko Fujishiro stood there dumbfounded. She looked at me, Recognize me immediately." "I have a vague memory of her frequenting the 'Metisa' discotheque. But she remembers me clearly. Kume and I were at a loss for an unexpected situation." "At this time, Eiko suddenly screamed miserably. We woke up and covered her mouth in a hurry. I didn't want to kill her, but Kume said that since the matter has reached this point, we can't let her go. Killing, two people are also killing. So I used my hands to strangle her shoulders." "The original plan was to move Kaede's body to the mountain for burial, but because there was one more body, it was decided to transport both of them out. However, after moving Eiko Fujishiro's body into the car with great difficulty, I felt that there seemed to be someone in the corridor. We walked around and didn't dare to go back, so we left Jiazhi's body in the house. In fact, when we killed Yingzi, we had already exhausted our physical strength, and there was no energy in our whole body." "We took a little chance and thought that if someone saw Eiko Fujishiro going to Kaede's house that night, Eiko would be suspected of being a criminal." "In order to prevent the police from discovering Jiazhi's body too early, we put her in a suitcase, wrapped her in a quilt, and hid her in a closet. But we forgot to lock the door when we went out. After we escaped, we remembered that we didn't lock the door , and went back to lock the door at about 3:00 in the morning. At this time, we found someone in the room. We knew that we could not stay for a moment, and it was extremely dangerous, so we ran away immediately. We buried the body of Eiko Fujishiro in the recently purchased Shobu City, Saitama Prefecture. In the mountains and forests. We thought that Jiazhi's body would be found immediately, but we didn't find it for a long time. Just when we felt strange about the person who sneaked into Jiazhi's house late that night, the body was discovered and Yamamoto was suspected. The direction of the police investigation was concentrated On the mountain itself, it was a relief for us." "That's it, we killed two people. We only divided the 2 million yen in cash equally. Kume said that jewelry and other things can't be moved for the time being. He will keep them after the limelight passes, so they can't be turned into cash immediately." "Kumi said that it's too dangerous to divide things now, but he actually wants to take it all by himself. He spent so much to please women, and ended up digging his own grave. I don't know where Kume is. He's probably in a love hotel. Women have sweet dreams." Although Tabei confessed to the crime, Kume never came home.The next day was Sunday, and he didn't go to the company either.Although the secrecy work was very thorough, the reporter still found out the news of Tabei's arrest and reported it in the evening paper on the 6th with great fanfare.If Kume sees these reports, he will definitely leave.Therefore, the search headquarters notified the police in the metropolitan area inside and outside Tokyo of the color, shape, and license plate number (body color, year of manufacture, model, and registration number) of Kume’s car through the 110 network, and issued an order to arrest him immediately if found.
