Chapter 15 Chapter 1 On the train

Jewelry was stolen from the "WADA" jewelry store in Ginza at 9:20 pm on February 7. According to the report of the young female shop assistant, after the robber broke in, he beat the boss and took away the jewelry. The Metropolitan Police Department searched a section police officer Tojin Chuan and his subordinate Kamei and others rushed to the scene. The "WADA" jewelry store is on the ground floor of the building, with a shop area of ​​about 15 pings (about 3.3 square meters per ping).The shutter door is halfway drawn. When Totsukawa and others entered the store, they saw the owner Yuichiro Wada, who was in his fifties, bleeding from his head.The female shop assistant who was squatting on the phone also suffered head injuries.

The police officer immediately sent someone to call an ambulance, and the shop owner Wada and the young female employee Midori Nakahara were sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. Wada's injury is serious and needs to be treated for two weeks, while Midori Nakahara's injury is minor and only needs to be bandaged. Totsukawa asked the two of them about the situation in the hospital. "As usual, our shop closes at nine o'clock today. The other two shop assistants have already gone home. Mr. Zhong Yuan is the manager, so he walked an hour late to settle the accounts for the day. When the shutter door was halfway down, two people broke into Come in. They are all wearing sunglasses and big masks. I realized that the robbers were coming, and I was about to ring the bell, when suddenly I was hit on the head, whether it was an iron rod or a wrench, I don’t know. Lost consciousness."

Maybe it was because of the headache, Wada frowned from time to time when he was talking. Midori Nakahara’s testimony is roughly the same as Boss Wada’s: “Two men broke in suddenly and knocked the boss unconscious. Just as she was about to shout, she was also beaten unconscious by the gangster. When she woke up, the gangster was gone. The counter glass was shattered, and the gems disappeared.” With the assistance of Boss Wada and Midori Nakahara, Totsukawa drew portraits of criminals and listed the stolen jewels. Although the two criminals were wearing gloves, sunglasses and masks, Wada and Midori Nakahara could still see their faces clearly.Midori Nakahara even remembered their conversation.

The two offenders are both aged between 35 and 40. One is about 180cm tall and the other is about 165cm tall. "The tall guy seems to be the leader," Wada said.Midori also nodded in agreement. "The tall one had a gun and told the short one, as if calling him 'Mia'." "Is it Mia?" "yes." What does "Mia" mean?Totsukawa thought.Is it a short name for "Miyata", "Miyajima", or a nickname? "Didn't the short guy have a gun?" "Hey. I have something like an iron rod in my hand." "He hit me with that thing," Wada said.

The tall ones wear gray overcoats, the short ones wear trench coats. Among the stolen jewels were diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc., worth 250 million yuan. The portrait of the criminal was drawn two hours later.At the same time, the characteristics of the criminal provided by Boss Wada and Midori Nakahara were also recorded. The tall man has a missing earlobe in his right ear, which may have been lost during boxing practice.His gun didn't seem to be a repeating gun, but an automatic gun.But after seeing the appearance of the pistol painted by Wada, I realized that it was a rotary burst automatic gun.

On the short man's right wrist hung a gold bracelet. When the tall man broke in, he pointed his gun at Hotan and Midori and shouted, "Don't move!" No local accent or dialect could be heard in the pronunciation. Although it is not known whether the short man is holding an iron rod or a wrench, judging from Hetian's head injury, it may be a wrench.It was a tool in the car, and the criminal was likely to get away in the car. The fingerprints in the store were carefully identified, but no fingerprints of the criminal were found.Maybe it was because the criminal was wearing gloves.

After copying the portraits of the criminals, they were distributed to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the prefectural police stations. Totsukawa sent his men to patrol the Ginza area. The day the criminal committed the crime was Saturday.Recently, there are many companies that take two days off a week.Some bars and clubs are also closed on Saturdays.Therefore, on Saturday night, there were fewer pedestrians in Ginza than usual.Even so, Totsukawa believes that Ginza is a big road, and some people should meet fugitives.But no witnesses were ever found. There is a small alley behind the jewelry store. Perhaps the criminal immediately mixed in with the crowd after taking off his sunglasses and mask.

Unable to catch traces of criminals. A thought suddenly flashed in Tojinchuan's mind: Could it be that the owner of the jewelry store lied about the case? Recently, business in jewelry stores has been slow.If you falsely report a robber break-in, the stolen jewelry can receive a huge insurance payment.Will the store owner make such a plan?Did the boss Wada and the clerk Midori Nakahara conspire to stage a martial arts scene?The criminal's appearance and so on are all made up randomly. However, the car used by the criminal was found two days later, and the "acting" said it was self-defeating.

Near Tokyo Station, a white car was found in an underground parking lot.This is a stolen car.Totsukawa found two masks under the assistant's seat.This kind of mask can be bought at any time in pharmacies or small shops near the station. After a careful search, an emerald ring was found under the driver's seat.This is one of the gemstones stolen from the "WADA" jewelry store, worth 1.2 million yuan. The white car was stolen late at night on February 5.The owner of the car is a doctor who lives in Setagaya.The car was parked in an underground parking lot shortly after the incident.

The emerald ring probably wasn't discarded intentionally, but dropped accidentally. Perhaps the criminals stole the car, robbed the gems, and fled in a car to an underground parking lot near Tokyo Station, where they divided up the spoils and went their separate ways. So far, there are still clues, but nothing is known about the situation after that. At ten o'clock in the evening, the plane has grounded.From this point of view, the criminal may have lived in Tokyo on the night of February 7.Thinking of this, Totsukawa began to investigate all the hotels and restaurants in the capital, but found nothing.

Two or three days passed, and the hunt made no progress. The trail of the criminal disappeared in a parking lot near Tokyo Station.Despite repeated investigations, there were still no clues.Totsukawa thought, if this continues, it will be difficult to get out of the maze. Five days later, a man in his mid-thirties came to Honda's pawn shop in Okayama City.This person is not tall and wears sunglasses. The shop owner is in his sixties, and his name is Tokutaro Honda.Honda smiled and warmly received the visitor: "Welcome!" At the same time, he scanned the visitor from head to toe with the corner of his eyes. The boss of Honda is extremely vigilant and has been commended by the police department many times.When pawning, as soon as he found a suspicious person, he contacted the police station to assist the police in arresting criminals. Honda said: "Being a thief has a guilty conscience. I can spot suspicious people at a glance." The person who walked into the store now was sneaky and uneasy.Based on its many years of experience, Honda knows that the comer is not good. "Here, let's pawn it." After the man finished speaking, he took out the gem wrapped in the handkerchief from the pocket of the windbreaker.This is a ruby ​​that hangs on a necklace. Honda took a closer look at the ruby ​​with a magnifying glass. 0.8 carat ruby ​​surrounded by diamond diamonds.If you go to a jewelry store to buy it, it will be worth at least one million yuan.Such a precious gem is not commensurate with the identity of the person standing in front of him.Honda knew intuitively that this thing was "stolen."He asked the man to wait in the shop for a while, then walked into the back room by himself.Honda quickly glanced at the list of stolen items recently sent by the police station. Among the items stolen from a jewelry store in Ginza, Tokyo on February 7 was a 0.8-carat ruby ​​necklace pendant.The shape and weight are exactly the same. Honda told his wife to contact the police immediately, and he returned to the store. "Hey, what are you dawdling about?" The man looked agitated. Honda said with a smile: "There are a lot of fake gems now. I studied it carefully just now. Your ruby ​​is genuine." "That goes without saying. Will I have fakes?" "So, how much do you want?" "How much can you be at most?" "One hundred thousand yuan." "Is that all there is?" "You know the price of gemstones has dropped recently," Honda replied. The man's eyes were wide open, and he began to pay attention to the surrounding situation.Honda thought, it would be bad if the police didn't come. "How about 150,000 yuan?" "Ok." "Did you bring your ID card? Insurance card and driver's license are also fine." "I didn't bring any of them. If it doesn't work, I'll sell it to a jewelry store. As long as it's cheap, they'll buy it. Return the gems to me," the man said to Honda. "What if the police don't come..." Just when Honda was extremely anxious, the two quietly walked into the store.Honda recognized one of them as Sanze Detective. Sanze asked Honda with his eyes: "Is it this guy?" Honda was relieved at this moment.He said to the pawnbroker: "Be sure to look at the ID card, especially the valuables, otherwise you will cause trouble in the future." "The implication is that the gem was stolen?" The man was angry.It was too late, but it was too late, Sanze criminal policeman quickly twisted his right arm, and another policeman immediately handcuffed his wrist. The police turned it over to the police station. At first, he was angry and silent about the interrogation by the Sanze criminal police. When Sanze showed him the faxed photos, he became honest.He took his driver's license out of his pocket.His name is written on the driver's license: Shinsuke Miyamoto, thirty-five years old. At the time of the incident, another leader-like person called him "Mia", which matched Miyamoto's pronunciation. "On February 7, did you rob a jewelry store with your accomplices?" Miyamoto Shinsuke nodded in agreement. "What's your partner's last name?" "On the river." "What is your name?" "I only know his surname is Jiangshang." "Partner robbery, don't you even know the name?!" "I'm here. 'Fuchu' met him." "Fuchu?" "It's the Fuchu Racecourse. I often go there. When he saw that I had lost all my money, he approached me. He said: 'Want to make money?'" "So it hit it off?" "Yes. Because I need money." "When did this happen?" "The last Sunday in January." "So, the two of you broke into the Ginza jewelry store?" "Yes. He got a gun from somewhere, and I got the wrench from the car, and we went to the jewelry store." "Did you drive the car?" "Yes. He didn't have a driver's license." "Is it you who called the owner of the jewelry store?" "Yes. But my shot is not heavy, so the boss is not dead." "Who hit the shop girl?" "That guy. He hit it with the butt of his rifle." "Where is Jiang Shang now?" "have no idea." "It's impossible not to know. You robbed jewels worth 250 million yuan, but you only took one gemstone worth 1 million yuan. Are all the other jewels in Jiang Shang's hands?" "He said he was hiding in a secret place. After all the money was exchanged for cash, they ran away together." "Where is it hidden?" "It's a secret, I can't tell it. Find it yourself." Miyamoto laughed after finishing speaking. "Asshole!" Detective Sanze was furious. "Jiang Shang almost swallowed all the jewels, are you willing?" "Can you induce a confession like this? I won't say anything about Jiang Shang again." "You only got one gem, and you went to jail without enjoying it. Are you willing to let it go?" "Jiangshang also only exchanged one jewel for cash, and hid the rest. I am a first-time offender, and I will be released after two years of imprisonment at most. At that time, if I divide the jewels equally, I will feel at ease." "It's a good idea! Two years later, will Jiang Shang honestly deliver the jewelry to you?" "Stop it. What will happen if I betray him? Will you give me all the jewels? Will you release me? I'm afraid not?" "Let's discuss it with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. It may work. If you make meritorious service and atone for your crime, you can reduce your sentence." "It's all empty talk, I'm not a fool." After finishing speaking, Miyamoto remained silent. After the interrogation at the Okayama Nishi Police Station, Miyamoto Shinsuke was escorted to Tokyo.They were escorted by Kamei and Nishimoto policemen. Totsukawa told the two criminal policemen to "be careful on the road".Escorted by the resourceful Kamei, he is at ease.Furthermore, Shinsuke Miyamoto has no previous convictions for murder. In this case, he was an accomplice. Kamei also felt that the escort was easier this time, so he was a little careless. After Kamei saw Miyamoto Shinsuke at the Okayama Nishi Police Station, he felt that he was just a character who circled around other people's buttocks and acted as an accomplice.This kind of person will not "rebel", nor does he want to "rebel".In case of danger, they will curl up and remain motionless.Miyamoto probably never even thought about running away during the escort. Detective Sanze from the police station also said: "He often swallows his anger and is a docile person." When Kamei said to him, "I'll take you to Tokyo tomorrow," Miyamoto just smiled and said, "There's a place for me in Tokyo too. I've become a celebrity." It was just that when he set off on the second day, Miyamoto put forward a condition: "Can you leave later? I want to have lunch and leave." "Then take the bus at 14:12," Sanze said.By this train, you can arrive in Tokyo at 18:04, that is, at 6:04 pm. After Kamei decided to take that bus, he called Totsukawa. "Okay, the police car is waiting for you at Tokyo Station, driven by Criminal Police Shimizu." Totsukawa said. After Kamei took a copy of the interrogation record from the Misawa criminal police, he glanced through it at a glance. "The attitude is relatively honest." "However, he didn't say a word about important matters." "Is it the accomplice's address and the whereabouts of the jewels?" "That's right. He explained other things very frankly. He seemed to be very concerned about the meal. During the interrogation after the meal, he lost his temper and refused to answer questions. He said that I would rest after the meal." "Did he mean to start after rest?" "That's right. He's a guy with a weird temper!" Detective Sanze said with a smile. The next day, after Miyamoto had enough to eat and drink, he was escorted by Kamei and Nishimoto to Tokyo.The police station took them to Okayama Station by car.Before boarding the train, Kamei and Nishimoto put handcuffs on Miyamoto, and they sandwiched him between them, and boarded the "Glorious No. 62" train starting from Okayama. In the three-person seat in the No. 4 car, the three sat side by side, and Miyamoto sat in the middle. At 2:10 in the afternoon, there were very few passengers in the carriage. Miyamoto wanted to smoke, so Kamei let him hold his own cigarette in his mouth. Just as he was about to light the fire, the "Glorious No. 62" train started. Kamei took out the notepad and checked the stations along the train.This train only stops at three major stations: Shin-Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya.Kamei felt that the escort mission was very easy. "Why did you come to Okayama?" Kamei asked Miyamoto not long after the train started. The official interrogation will take place after returning to Tokyo, but this matter must be clarified earlier. The Okayama Nishi Police Station should have asked Miyamoto about Okayama's purpose, but there was no record in the interrogation record. "Is there a reason for coming to Okayama?" Miyamoto replied, looking casually at the ceiling of the carriage, "I wanted to take the Shinkansen to escape to a distant place, so I came to Okayama. That's all. If it was my accomplice, he would have gone to Kyushu long ago." .” It's all nonsense.Probably for this reason, the police station did not record it. After the train stopped at Shin-Osaka, a group of passengers came up, three of whom entered the No. 4 carriage.The occupancy rate is only 40%. Not long after the train left Kyoto, Miyamoto had to go to the bathroom. "I'll take him there," said the young Nishimoto detective.In normal times, Kamei would definitely go with him, but today he has a cold, his body is weak, and he is too lazy to move.Kamei thought, to deal with people like Miyamoto Shinsuke, Nishimoto alone is enough.So he patted Nishimoto on the shoulder and said, "Please." However, Kamei was still uneasy, he couldn't help standing up, and when he saw the backs of the two people walking towards the toilet, he was relieved again.Because Nishimoto has a big body, round waist and thick shoulders, while Miyamoto is short and thin, like a child. Kamei kept watching the two of them until they got out of the automatic door and their backs disappeared. Kamei leisurely lit a cigarette and pondered: Miyamoto's accomplice Egami, is his real name or a pseudonym?Detective Misawa from the Police Department thought it was a pseudonym.Judging from the fact that only a little bit of stolen goods was distributed to Miyamoto, it could not be the real name.Therefore, finding Miyamoto's accomplices is the key to this case. Kamei finished smoking a cigarette without knowing it. Suddenly, from the side of the automatic door, a woman screamed. Kamei jumped up like a reflex, and ran towards the automatic door. When I opened the automatic door, I saw a young woman standing in a daze with her face pale with fright.The Xiben detective opposite her fell in a pool of blood.The other person's two feet protruding from the toilet. "Damn it," Kamei cursed and pushed open the toilet door, only to find Miyamoto lying prone on the ground dripping with blood. "Go and call the driver!" Kamei yelled at the fainted woman, while quickly hugging Nishimoto's body: "Hey! Wake up!" But there was no response.Blood was still dripping from his back. "Bastard! Who would do such a wicked thing!" Kamei said through gritted teeth. The speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and soon it was Nagoya Station. The driver finally came.He saw the blood, and his face twitched convulsively. "Take these two people to the hospital quickly." Kamei said to the driver.Only then did the captain wake up from his ecstasy. "We'll be in Nagoya soon, call an ambulance." The "Glorious No. 62" train slowly slid to the Nagoya platform. Kamei took out the pistol from the inner pocket and said to the commander: "These two are handed over to you." "What are you going to do?" "The criminal may have to get off here." Kamei said hastily.As soon as the car stopped, he walked quickly onto the platform. Passengers rushed onto the platform from sixteen carriages. Among the noisy crowd, Kamei didn't know who was the criminal. At this time, several flight attendants came in a hurry and said something to the captain. The captain immediately said to Kamei: "The ambulance is coming soon." The flight attendants also brought the blanket, and they covered it On two people who were motionless. "Mr. Police, this man seems to be about to speak." A flight attendant shouted to stop Kamei.Kamei immediately ran towards Miyamoto, putting his ear close to his mouth. Miyamoto said softly, "The bank..." "Is it a bank?" Kamei asked, but there was no answer. Five minutes later, the ambulance came.Two first aid team members carrying stretchers ran over quickly, quickly put the two immobile people onto the stretchers, and quickly carried them to the platform. The "Glorious No. 62" train left Nagoya seven minutes after its schedule was delayed, and rushed forward at full speed. As soon as the ambulance took the patient to a hospital near the station, doctors immediately operated on it.The doctor said that he was not sure whether he could be saved due to excessive bleeding. With a heavy heart, Kamei called Totsukawa in Tokyo: "I'm very sorry. I'll just go together." "No, it's not your responsibility. With what?" Totsukawa asked. "Gun. Both shot in the back. Silent pistol, I'm afraid." "Is Miyamoto's accomplice doing it?" "I think so too. He wants to keep the jewelry." "Is Miyamoto keeping silent about this?" "yes." "In what state were the two shot?" "Nishimoto-kun collapsed in the corridor near the toilet, and Miyamoto collapsed in the toilet." "Where are the handcuffs?" "The handcuffs fell next to Nishimoto-kun. I am afraid that Nishimoto-kun took them off for Miyamoto who was about to release them. When Nishimoto-kun was waiting for Miyamoto at the toilet door, the criminal shot him from behind." Kamei said. At this time, the head nurse walked to Kamei and said softly, "Miyamoto is dead."
