Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

Matsunomiya returned to the task force very late, and Ishigaki, Kobayashi, and Otsuki were still there, sitting around the conference table. "Thank you for making a special trip." Ishigaki said to Matsunomiya, "If I had known this, I would have handed it over to the Miyagi Prefectural Police Office. Because I was just looking at the photos." Regarding Yasuyo Miyamoto's answer, Matsunomiya had already called and reported to Kobayashi.The boss replied in a low voice, "Is that so?" His voice could be heard in disappointment. "No, I still want to confirm it myself. But unfortunately, I thought the speculation was correct."

"She said no at all, so it can be regarded as zero possibility." "Judging from Ms. Miyamoto's attitude, I think there is no problem. She didn't even hesitate at all. She is one of the few people who has ever talked to Shunichi Watabe face to face, so she should be right." "That's true. Then the line of Miao Village will be considered as gone, and the investigation policy will be re-drawn. Xiaolin, I'll leave it to you." Kobayashi responded, "Yes." Ishigaki grabbed the suit jacket that was draped over the back of the chair, and left the conference room, his steps not brisk at all.

Song Gong looked at Kobayashi and asked, "Is there any progress in the group?" Kobayashi raised his chin at Otsuki, "This guy may have won the lottery." Matsumiya let out a "huh" and turned his gaze to Otsuki, "It's the one you mentioned during the day, right? The name is, uh..." "Yokoyama Kazutoshi, this name is in the Central Registration Center." Otsuki looked at the document in his hand and said, "The address at that time was also the same as the place of household registration in Atsuta District, Nagoya City. It's just that the resident certificate has been cancelled, and it has not been transferred. The records that have been released show that he is completely without a fixed place."

"Where's the family?" "I was married twice, and divorced both times. My parents died a long time ago. I have an older sister who married Toyohashi." "Should we be able to find the two ex-wives and sister?" Songgong asked Kobayashi. "The assistance of the Aichi County Police has been requested, but we have also sent investigators there, and detailed information should be collected soon." Sakagami was also among the investigators sent out. "It's Kazutoshi Yokoyama, isn't it? How do you write it?" "It's very interesting. If it wasn't for Otsuki's reminder, I haven't found it yet."

Songgong wrote down the name according to Kobayashi's dictation, which turned out to be "Yokoyama Kazutoshi".Just looking at the words I wrote and thinking about how interesting this is, I suddenly discovered the clue. "Ah, it's the following two words. Flip it back and forth and it becomes 'Shunichi', the 'Shunichi' of Watabe Shunichi." "That's right." "It's a coincidence, it's too coincidental." Otsuki said so that his nostrils bulged. "This is indeed curious. Has this Yokoyama ever stayed at the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant?"

"That's the point. According to Otsuki's investigation, not only did he stay in Onagawa, but more than half of his experience was in Onagawa." Otsuki's gaze fell on the document again. "The employer is 'Bai Dian Xingye'. However, the head office of this company is in Tokyo. It should not be the company that directly hired Kazutoshi Yokoyama. The original employer should be a local outsourced downstream business." "Then, if you go to Onagawa to ask the owner of that business—" Before Song Gong finished speaking, Xiao Lin began to shake his head, "It can't be done."

"why?" Kobayashi turned to Otsuki and raised his chin, as if saying, "Tell him." "This time, we asked our colleagues in the police unit with nuclear power plants in the jurisdiction to assist in various aspects," Otsuki began, "but Fukushima and Miyagi were unable to provide assistance. The local outsourcers were all victims of the earthquake. Even The entire building has disappeared. There is no previous record to be found, and it is almost impossible to trace the whereabouts of the people who used to work there." Song Gong put down the pen he was holding, "I see..."

"We don't need to be pessimistic." Kobayashi said, "Just find someone who knows Kazutoshi Yokoyama. Among the operators who worked with him at the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, there are still a few people who can be found. About Kazutoshi Yokoyama Jun, sooner or later we'll find out. The question is whether he's the one we're looking for." "Indeed." Although Matsumiya agrees, there is still a shadow in her heart.Even if the deduction is correct, that is, Yokoyama Kazutoshi is really Watabe Shunichi, then what is the relationship between him and Hiromi Asaui?This is another new hurdle.

Xiao Lin suddenly raised his head, "You have worked hard, you can go back today." "No, I'm staying." As soon as Matsumiya said that, Kobayashi waved his hands like chasing flies. "The management officer doesn't like investigators staying overnight, and neither does the department head. Go back quickly, so that your mother can feel more at ease." The boss said so, so I had to obey orders.Song Gong said, "Then I'll take my leave first." He saluted. Matsunomiya lives in Koenji's apartment with her mother, Katsuko.They used to live in Mitaka in an old rented house, but when Matsunomiya was dispatched to the first search section, they made up their minds to move.

"I live with my mother alone, so I won't be able to pay." It seemed that the senior Sakagami said with a smile, referring to his girlfriend, because people would think it was his mother's treasure.This is true, so he doesn't mention it to others. Song Gong has no memory of his father at all, because his father died in an accident when he was young, and the other party is not his official father.Because he was married to another woman, and he lived with Kezi before the divorce was established. "I'm really not destined to get married." Kezi still says that from time to time.She had been married once, and Song Gong was the husband's surname.However, at this time her husband died of illness at a young age, and it was only later that Kezi met Songgong's father.

Song Gong watched his mother suffer all the way, so even if she felt a little bit unfree, she was not dissatisfied with the mother and child living together. When I got back to the apartment, it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, maybe my mother was already asleep.He was careful not to make any noise, and opened the door of the entrance, but was surprised when Kezi's cheerful laughter came from inside.He looked at the entrance, and there was a pair of big leather shoes. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man and a woman sitting across the dining table.Beer cans and saucers of pickles were on the table. "Ah, you're back." It was Ke Zi who said this.It was Kaga who was wearing a white shirt and said, "Are you coming back from Sendai soon? It was hard work."I saw him take off his tie and roll up his sleeves. "What are you two doing?" "Brother Gong came to see me suddenly, and brought tofu and omelet from Ningyocho, both of which are delicious." Kezi's eyes were slightly red. "I feel like I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I want to visit. You seldom go home these days, right? I think my aunt must be very lonely. Does it matter? Relatives." "Of course it doesn't matter." "Then don't stand there stupidly, let's have a drink first. Is today's work over?" Katsuko took out a glass from the sideboard, and Kaga poured beer into it. Matsumiya took off his suit jacket and sat down on a chair.As soon as the beer entered my throat, I felt tired all over my body, and I ran all day today. "How's it going?" Kaga asked. Matsumiya shook his head, and relayed what Miyamoto Yasuyo said after seeing the photos. "As expected." Kaga's reaction was flat. "Did you think otherwise?" "Not very sure, but I don't think so. I don't think my mother would like someone like that." After hearing Kaga's words, Matsunomiya suddenly realized.It turned out that he said that Miaocun was superficial, and muttered to himself what is it about her falling in love with this kind of person, which was a question to his mother. "Miaocun...is it irrelevant?" "No, it's too early to say it's irrelevant." Songgong stopped holding the pickles with his chopsticks, "You mean, he was involved in the murder?" "I don't know if it's directly related, but we have to pay attention to the fact that two people who are related to Qianju Hiromi have disappeared." "Two people... one is a junior high school classmate and the other is a junior high school tutor. But Michiko Oshitani was killed instead of disappearing." "Speaking of the main point, there may be doubts about Teacher Miaocun's disappearance." Song Gong gasped, "You mean, Miao Cun was also killed?" "It's possible." "If he was really killed, when?" "I don't know." Kaga shook his head and brought the glass to his mouth. "If that's the case, who would the murderer be? Also—" Matsunomiya hesitated to say the words Hiromi Asagi. "It's too arbitrary to think so much at this stage." Kaga shrugged lightly. "What are you talking about? It sounds scary." Kezi, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, showed an unnatural smile. "I'm sorry, I just said bloody things." Kaga bowed his head and looked at the time, "It's already so late. It's really been a long time." "What's the matter, Shuhei is back too." "No, let this kid have a good rest." Kaga picked up his suit jacket and stood up, "Thank you. I haven't chatted with my aunt for a long time. I'm so happy." "Me too, I want to play again." Songgong looked at his mother and cousin alternately, "What are you talking about?" "Some unimportant past." "Talk about Lily's sister-in-law, your cousin's mother." Kezi said, "I don't have many opportunities to get in touch with Lily's sister-in-law, but I remember that she is a gentle, responsible person. She will leave home, she must be there Annoyance. So Agong, you have to forgive your mother." Kaga smiled wryly and nodded. "I know, you have explained it several times." "Think about what you just said." "Hmm." Kaga's attitude seemed noncommittal. "What? What did you just say?" "Ah-Gung said that the ceremony for Lily's sister-in-law has never been formally done." Matsumiya let out an "ah" and looked at Kaga in agreement with her mother.He knew very well that this cousin didn't take the ritual matter to heart at all. "I'll think about it when the work is over." "Really, you said it. No matter what happens, Baihezi's sister-in-law is A Gong's mother, and this will not change. When you go to the district office, it is written in black and white on the record. This is a great thing Ah. For example, Shuhei has no father, and there is no record of this child's father anywhere. Just like this, Gong is very happy." Kezi seemed to be crying, and Songgong was in a hurry. "Mom, stop talking. Are you drunk?" "I'm not drunk. I want Ah Gong to understand..." Finally, tears came into my eyes. "Troublesome." Matsumiya frowned, then apologized to Kaga. "I understand how Auntie feels." Kaga said quietly, "I will seriously consider it. Tonight, thank you for your hospitality." Kezi didn't speak, but nodded twice. Matsumiya sent Kaga to the door.After putting on the shoes, Kaga stood still facing the door.Matsumiya felt strange, and when he was about to ask, Kaga turned around. "Maybe we missed something very important." "what?" "I'll contact you again." After speaking, Kaga left.
