Chapter 19 Chapter VII

Sanae Hojo brought the photos in the afternoon. Two of them were obviously taken at Hotel S, and they seemed to be taken from a distant place with a telephoto lens. They showed these two photos to some staff in the hotel, and they all said in unison that they were Yumi Ibe, who lived there. "So, it seems that Goto is interested in Yumi Inobe." Kamei said with satisfaction. "Is it because she is beautiful?" Hashimoto said. "What's the other one like?" Kamei asked Sanae. "It's this one, but I'm not sure." Saying that, Sanae handed another photo to Kamei.

This one is not in Shirahama, although it is not clear, but it can be seen that it seems to be in Tokyo.Since it was night, the woman's face was not clear. "It's not like Yumi Inobe. This person has obvious long hair, but Yumi Inobe has short hair, which is different from this person." Hashimoto said, staring at the photo. "Sure enough. But why did he shoot like this?" Kamei murmured. Hashimoto was also lost in thought. Sanae said from the side: "Did he take the photo while walking with the camera?" "Why?" Kamei asked, staring at Sanae.

"He came back from a trip with a camera." "Yes, Goto returned to Tokyo on September 7th. At that time, he took the camera with him. Did he take pictures on the way home?" "right." "Which number is this photo?" "It's the twenty-third of a roll of twenty-four." "It's the last." "He was going to take a night scene, but a woman just walked in, so it was taken." Sanae judged. "What do you think?" Kamei looked at Hashimoto again. "I think it's probably because he's interested in this woman again, and the woman left his sight when he was about to take the second picture."

"It may be that he ran away in a hurry because he was afraid that this woman would find out, or for some other reason." When Kamei said, Sanae smiled, "There are other women who want to shoot her, so they run away first." "What's this place?" Hashimoto asked, staring at the photo. "The background looks like a taxi," Kamei said. "Detective Nishimoto said it wasn't Tokyo Station." Sanae said. "Isn't it the taxi stand at Tokyo Station?" "right." "But Goto's apartment is in Yotsuya 3-chome! It's not fast to take the subway instead of a taxi." Kamei said.

"Isn't that interesting?" Hashimoto said. "why?" "Because he became interested in this woman, he didn't take the subway or the central line directly after getting off the train, but walked all the way to the taxi stand." Hashimoto said. "The question is why Goto became interested in this woman?" Kamei asked with embarrassment. "I have such a hypothesis." Hojo Sanae said hesitantly. "Tell me!" Kamei urged. "Is this woman Yumi Inobe I saw in Shirahama, or the same woman I saw in Shirahama..." "But the hairstyle is different." Hashimoto said.

Sanae smiled and explained: "I have a wig! I have short hair when I go to work, and I wear a long wig when I want to change my mood when I am resting. When I meet my friends, they will be very surprised. So I think Could she have changed her hairstyle, and perhaps put on a make-up!" "That's how it is. If you don't tell me, we men don't know!" Kamei nodded, then suddenly glanced at Hashimoto and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Because Hashimoto's face suddenly became very pale. He took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Kamei and Sanae.

"Please look at this picture." "Is this a picture of Yumi Inobe?" Kamei looked puzzled, he didn't know what Hashimoto meant. "Yes, her sister gave it to me when she asked me to find her sister." "did you mean?" "She looks very similar to her younger sister, just like Hojo Sanae said just now, she changed into a pair of long hair, and then made up, and she looked exactly like her younger sister." Hashimoto said with a stiff expression. "You mean the two sisters look alike?" "right." "Anyway, I think this photo seems to be used on the admission ticket for the exam." Hashimoto said.

Kamei also saw it. "Yeah, it was taken in the selfie department of the shopping mall? If it was taken by the other party, the expression of the person being photographed would be very natural; but if you want to take a selfie, the expression will look somewhat unnatural." "is not it!" "In other words, sister Miyako has become younger sister Yumi. Did she give you a photo of herself to ask you to find her sister?" "right!" "But the hotel said Yumi Inobe has been staying there since September 5th!" "Is it to make Mr. Hashimoto think that her sister committed suicide because of a broken relationship!" Sanae interjected.

"And the body of her sister who drowned as she expected was found..." After Kamei said something, he suddenly said: "Contact the Totsugawa Police Department immediately!"
