Chapter 43 Section five

After counting the number of people, the leader felt at peace.The members of the group were all scattered around the tourist places of the Young Woman Peak and disappeared without a trace.When the assembly time came, twenty-eight people gathered in front of the station. Kadoda was originally worried about the possibility of accidents on cliffs, glaciers, and tunnels in the snow, but once he saw the face of a team member who was not missing, he felt at ease.Especially seeing Tada Mariko's innocent and innocent expression. Nerves suddenly shifted from vision to brain.Board the tram and go back to the Krajinai Aydank station where the car stopped when you came back.This time I took another route, passing through the east side of the Ayiga Mountain.In order to avoid the monotony of reciprocating up and down on the same route, as the hub connecting Krajina Aydank on the upper side and Zibaylukhnay on the lower side, the route is sandwiched between the two mountains and bifurcated from east to west.The winding extension of the Eastern Line is Grindelwald Station.The scenery outside the window when descending this time is quite different from that when going up the mountain.As the members of the group gained great satisfaction from the scenery on the top of Ayiga Mountain and the fatigue of walking, the initial excitement when they climbed to Jiwang has faded.They quietly watched the changing scenery by the window.Hijikata Etsuko took a rest with her head bowed next to Kadoda.Although she also told Kadoda that she would do her best to observe the members, she seemed exhausted.

Hoshino Kagenko belonged to that kind of posturing woman.Always put on a show of yourself.What she had seen might have been, as she said, "a trivial thing."This kind of statement, ordinary people say things of great significance as if nothing had happened, has become a paradoxical irony.As long as this is reversed, the other party will have the effect of pretending that nothing happens. Hoshino Kagenko didn't immediately tell what she saw, what exactly affected her emotions?Presumably what she witnessed was an important clue, but she was hesitant to speak, and this matter must be related to the unfortunate incident in which two members of the regiment were killed.At least, from what she said "I'll talk about it later", you can get a hint to solve the mystery of the Sphinx.

Kadoka thought, although Hoshino Kagenko had told her not to take that matter too seriously, and he felt embarrassed to say it, but he had to try to get her words out anyway. Kadoda, who was in deep thought, looked outside the car dealer. On one side was Ayiga’s glowing north wall, and on the other side was the endless rolling foothills.After a short rest on the seats, the Japanese women regained their vitality, revived their curiosity and interest, and frequently took pictures out of the car window. The first parking lot when the tram comes back to the east line is the Green Moon Walto Station, the busiest hilltop entertainment venue in Ruishang.Due to the impact of the parking, Etsuko Hijikata, who had been dozing off all the time, opened her eyes and looked around the window and the compartment.Kadoda told the group members to get off the car and drink tea here, and everyone stood up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Hijikata Etsuko lied and bowed to Kadoda in a panic. Tourists from all over the world got off the bus here.A tall man with blond hair, a bow tie, and a fiery red dress approached the Japanese women's group, approached Kadoda, and asked, "Are you Mr. Kadoda?" "yes." "Berpan Hotel in Bern called to say you're here." On the front of his red uniform he wore the badge of the "Spinai" Hotel. On the official paper of the hotel, the content of the telephone contact was written fluently in English: "Mr. Hiroshima to Mr. Kadoda: Please wait for me at the 'Spinai Hotel'. The group activity plan has changed. I will stay at this hotel tonight. stay."

The waiter who came to greet him bent down and smiled and said, "I'll take you to the hotel." "What's the matter?" Hijikata Etsuko looked at the note in Kadoda's hand. "The executive in Hiroshima, who came to Switzerland from London, heard from the reception desk of the Berpan Hotel in Bern that we went up the mountain, so he hung up here and said these words. I have to stay in the hotel here tonight, and it changed. The trip to Geneva." Kadoda said, "How should I explain the reason for changing the plan to the members?" His face became gloomy.

The Japanese women walked towards the hotel under the leadership of the majestic waiters in red uniforms, in groups like some kind of ceremonial procession.Pedestrians and tourists from various countries sitting at outdoor tables in pubs and cafes all looked sideways. The altitude here is about 1,000 meters, and the atmosphere as a highland recuperation place is quite strong.There are several hotels just outside the station: Bamhaff Hotel, Lakina Hotel, Luxury Hotel.There are also two banks nearby.The taverns on the street are all over the hillside.As long as there are shops in small cities-native product stores, coffee shops, tourist guide offices, hotels, mountain guide union offices, photo studios, food stores, grocery stores, clothing stores, barber shops, sports equipment stores, bookstores, post offices, Gas stations, taxi ranks, car parks, ladies' stores, pastry shops, fruit shops, miniature golf - it's all here.Shops have been refurbished throughout to cater to the luxury traveler.

Women walked through the mall with waiters in red uniforms.Behind these buildings is the endless green plateau, far into the vast twilight.Pine forests and farmhouses with reddish-brown and blue roofs are dotted everywhere, and cows are nomadic on the pastures, which is a typical Swiss scenery. The Spinner Hotel was in the middle of a busy street.The waiter in red led everyone into the gate of the hotel on the fifth floor. The group members gathered in the foyer, Kadoda graciously explained the reason for staying in this hotel tonight: Due to the error of the Geneva travel agency, the reservation for tonight could not be carried out, so he arranged to stay here through the Geneva contact.Because it was not Kadoda's responsibility, and everyone was very satisfied with the scenic resort in the Alps, so there was no complaint from everyone.

The rooms for 30 people, including the tour guide, are still accommodated according to the allocation plan of the Bern Hotel in Bern last night.The sun has not yet set, and everyone is going shopping and taking a walk in groups.At one end of this street there are churches, the starting station of the climbing elevator and row upon row of villas. Kadada and Etsuko sat side by side in the hall, drinking coffee.He took the opportunity to grab Hoshino Kagenko and ask him a good question. "When can I see Hiroshima and Mr. Eki here?" Hijikata Etsuko asked while looking at his watch. "Oh, it should arrive at six o'clock."

"Only two people?" "Yes. What?" "Scotland Yard has not found any clues about this murder case so far. I think the British police may come along." This hunch is well founded.Even if Hiroshima has some strong clues, he has no right to interrogation and search. "Mr. Ian Gordon of the Kinross office is quite interesting. Maybe we'll meet him again." "Although he is the first-line police officer to solve the crime on the spot, he is still a country criminal police officer. Anyone who comes here will be the generals of Scotland Yard, right?"

"Counselor Kirihara in Paris may also come with Hiroshima. He is the foreign representative of the Japanese police. Considering whether it will affect diplomatic relations with Japan, the British police may not directly interrogate the large number of women's groups. " "Well, maybe so." "If that's the case, will the journalists come with them?" "Journalist?" Kadoda was taken aback. "Yes, didn't they say that we will chase you in the future? If the investigators come here to solve the incident, it will be an excellent interview opportunity! The Lake Leben murder case is coming to an end."

"..." Etsuko's words made sense.When the accident happened at Leyben Lake, the newsmen's predictions were finally fulfilled.Wouldn't the reporters conduct interviews at the moment of the arrest of the Japanese female prisoner? Kadoda's heart was trembling, and his blood pressure was also rising. He seemed to see the number one typeface jumping on the Japanese newspaper and the photo of the arrested Japanese woman.The location is on the mountainside of the Young Woman in Switzerland - the stage effect is quite good. Especially Japan's "Sports Culture News" and "Women's Weekly" magazines will seize the opportunity to play with words.Even if those communications were luridly twisted for the sake of novelty, protesting would only invite resentment.
