Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen Finale

Suspect statement investigation Hometown: 6-X Higashicho, XX City, Akita Prefecture Address: No. 568X Ikuta, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture Occupation: Former employee of Tokyo Royal Hotel Kunio Hashimoto Born on May 8, Showa 1X (32 years old) Regarding the suspected homicide case of the above-mentioned person, on December 30, Showa 40X, at the Maiding Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, I told the suspect that there was no need to make a confession against his will, and then interrogated him.The criminal suspect made the following confession. Place of Birth: native Previous convictions: none

Assets, dependents, and other references 1. I started working at the Tokyo Royal Hotel in April 1940X. 2. No family members.Parents are still alive and live in their hometown. 3. I have no assets, and my monthly income is about 180,000 yuan. Matters relating to the facts of the crime: 1. I graduated from the Department of Economics of Tohto University in March of Showa 30X, and at the same time entered the Tohto Hotel to work.Fortunately, Mr. Reijiro Maekawa, the hotel manager, appreciated him. In April 1940, he followed Mr. Maekawa and was transferred to the Royal Hotel in Tokyo. One year later, he was promoted to the planning director.

I wanted to repay Mr. Maekawa's kindness, and at the same time I was promoted to minister, I was very worried about the business cooperation between Moat Hotel and CIC, an American hotel operator.If this kind of cooperation becomes a reality, our company, which is in the opposite position to moat hotels in the hotel industry, will suffer a huge blow.President Maekawa's concerns are obvious.In order to repay Maekawa-san's generous care for me, I am determined to stop this cooperation even if I use all means. 2. At that time, I had a sexual relationship with Arisaka Toko, the president secretary of the Moat Hotel, and I used her to collect information on the Moat Hotel.She is my college alumni, younger than me.About two years ago, I met her at a salon organized by a classmate who also worked in a hotel. I approached her just thinking that she might be able to provide some useful information because she was an employee of our competing company.I have no love for her, my relationship with her is not public, that's why.

3. Despite my best efforts to prevent it, the business cooperation between Moat Hotel and CIC is still going on fruitfully.At that time, I got information from Arisaka Toko that only Mr. Masanosuke Nagami, the president of Moat Hotel, was interested in cooperation, and all other officials were strongly opposed. From that moment on, I foolishly conceived a plan to kill Mr. Kuzumi.Arisaka Toko poured her love into me, became my obedient puppet, and encouraged the thoughts that sprouted in my heart.Regarding the murder of Mr. Kuju, you will doubt whether President Maekawa ordered it. Absolutely not. (Note: I have great doubts about this.) My marriage to Mr. Maekawa's daughter has nothing to do with this incident.

4. The method and process of killing Mr. Jiuzhu are all as the policeman said.He didn't pretend to commit suicide because Mr. Kuzumi had taken sleeping pills beforehand, so even if he made such a disguise, he would be spotted right away.The purpose of using a knife is to strike as quickly and accurately as possible.The purpose of setting the scene completely closed is to delay the time of discovery during the inspection of the room as much as possible, and also to make the police mistakenly regard the murderer as someone inside the hotel.I threw the dagger that was the murder weapon into the Tama River.In addition, the methods and routes for entering and exiting Room 3401 were all arranged by Arisaka Toko.

The night before the crime, in order to create the illusion that Arisaka Toko was not there, I drove her to Toto Hotel in a rented car.Because there is less traffic, it will take more than ten minutes to arrive. She gave me the key to room 3401 in the car. 5. The method and process of killing Arisaka Toko, Mr. Policeman's speculation is not wrong. I called the hotel from Bansuke Airport to ask for her room number, and managed to sneak into her room while avoiding other people's eyes while the hotel was busy. She was already impatient, and after I had intercourse with her, I used the poisoned bottle of the two bottles of fruit juice I brought in advance as a toast to her to persuade her to drink it, and then ran away after watching her start to suffer.At that time, I wanted to disguise her as suicide, so I took my bottle of fruit juice away.

I want to see her die, but as the police say, I don't have time.When I ran away, I also felt deeply afraid and uneasy, for fear that she would be discovered before she died, and I felt that I could not escape the bad luck. I killed her because I was afraid that the murder of Mr. Kuzumi would be leaked by her. At the same time, she forced me to marry, which became a huge obstacle to my marriage with Mr. Maekawa's daughter.I used poison instead of a knife because unlike Mr. Kuzumi, the other party was awake and I was afraid of resistance, and I didn't want blood to be splashed.When I killed Mr. Kuzu, it was late at night. This time was different. I had to transfer several times back to Tokyo under the watchful eyes of the public, so no matter how small the blood was, I didn’t want to get it on.

Sixth, Arisaka Toko wanted to throw away the draft of the revelation banquet, not to protect me, but out of her self-esteem, she didn't want anyone to know the stupidity of her considering someone like me as a marriage partner. 7. I got the poison from my friend's chemical factory under the pretext of killing insects. 8. Instructing the driver to book a room at the New Tokyo Hotel is to prove the end of my free time just in case.The purpose of using the name "Takemoto Misaki" is to prevent both the driver and the hotel from suspecting me. The purpose of asking the driver to book a room after 11 o'clock, as Mr. Police speculates, is to keep the number missing to a minimum and cover up the incoherence of the number. There are two more reasons.

One, the night shift foreman gets up around 7:30 and stays at the main service desk until 10:30 am.If the driver booked a room in my name, if he finds out, the alibi I have painstakingly created will fall by the wayside.I want to be safe. I went to get the accommodation registration card myself because I needed a natural acting skill. I got three cards and returned two cards to prevent the people at the main service desk from being suspicious, not to mention that I didn’t want the driver who was acting as a tool to be suspicious.The time to receive the accommodation registration card was before 7 o'clock, and it is estimated that the night shift foreman has not yet come to the main service desk.In case he saw it, if it was that time, it would not be fatal to forging an alibi.

Second, this is the biggest reason, because there is no guarantee that the guests of 057923 will arrive after 8:00 (the time to catch JAL701 flight).I heard that someone happened to make a reservation at 8:56 that day (referring to Kazuo Hiraki, note by Hiraga), but this was always just a coincidence. I didn't expect the police to find me.When Mr. Police came to me for the second time to track down the interval between the time between the Royal Hotel and the New Tokyo Hotel reservation procedures, my eyes went dark and I felt intense anxiety and terror.Although I kept receiving beautiful congratulatory speeches from celebrities in the financial world at the disclosure banquet, I was very panicked, as if I felt that the judge was approaching me.

9. Now that I have said everything, I seem to have unloaded the psychological burden of the past five months.Now, I deeply regret that I really did an inhumane thing.I pray that the victim rests in peace, and just want to plead guilty piously.
