Chapter 34 Chapter Eleven

Fujimoto, a policeman with a thick neck and a stocky build, was very interested when he heard about the five photos of Namhara. "Is there anything else you have to do with the dead?" "there is none left." "So the photo is the reason why he was killed? Don't you think that photo is very important if a person is killed?" "But those are just pictures of ordinary bridges!" "I want to see those pictures." Fujimoto said.So Nanyuan took him to his dormitory, and it was already dawn. "Is this taken from morning till night on the same day?"

"Yes. It took me a week to shoot on September 27 last year. The light, characters and my feelings on the 27th were all good." "September of last year?" Fujimoto suddenly lost interest.It's no wonder that the connection between last year's photos and this year's murder is a bit far-fetched, right?Even so, Fujimoto asked: "Could the photo that was changed secretly have something related to some event?" "No. I'm not going to shoot something like that. There are only four or five people on the bridge. It's 4 p.m., which is the time to get tired!"

"But that's the time for the thief to make a move! Maybe it happened to be caught by you!" "Where is it!" Namwon smiled. "So it has nothing to do with the photo? Did Taguchi ask you to take another photo after winning the award?" "No. Not at all." "I think maybe the reason why Taguchi was killed was that he asked you to film something later on." It seems that Fujimoto is still not giving up, and of course the possibility he mentioned is not impossible.For example, Taguchi had such a plan: to publish some photos of the underworld organization entity in the magazine, and he even confirmed that it was an underworld organization in a certain county.But later he was threatened by the underworld, but he didn't give up, and insisted on letting Nan Yuan take the film, but was unfortunately killed by the underworld.

So Namwon decided to take a look at the photo that had been swapped. After Fujimoto went back, Nanyuan slept for a while.After getting up in the afternoon, he laid out a sheet of drawing paper, found dozens of photos he had taken, and found one that was the closest to the one published in the magazine, and placed it side by side, recalling it carefully. analyzed in detail. Next to the bridge is the middle-aged couple who opened a barbecue restaurant. There are four pedestrians on the bridge, two men and two women, including a couple.This is a young couple, they are looking into the Sumida River, so their faces cannot be seen.But the man's arms are around the woman's waist, and the close embrace shows their intimacy.Then a middle-aged man wearing a hat came from the direction of Mukoshima.Namwon also photographed an old woman with a burden on her head because of the hot weather.

Namwon filled out the people in the photo with a pencil.He weighted the beard on the man; weighted the jeans on the couple. After Namwon's "sketch" was finished, he compared it with the stolen photo. Except for the couple selling barbecue, this photo shows these four men and women.The composition of the published photos is also very similar to my own: a young couple with their backs to the camera, a middle-aged man and an old woman walking over.But the woman of the couple was not in jeans but a leather skirt; the middle-aged man and the old woman were obviously two other people.It's just that the couple who set up a barbecue stall every day are the same couple.

Nan Yuan put the photo he had just "sketched" and this photo that he had just changed in front of his eyes, thinking carefully. Because the couple selling barbecue is also in other photos, so the reason for the sneaky photo change should not be in this one.Then the remaining four people may have happened to be photographed "shouldn't" be photographed at that time, so the photos were secretly replaced. Because the couple with their backs to the camera cannot see their faces, it should be excluded, no, because their acquaintances are more familiar with their backs, postures and clothing, so they cannot be excluded; the faces of middle-aged men and old women If the part is very clear, it cannot be excluded.

If we investigate these four people one by one, we might find something.But it will be very difficult to find the four people from the lost photos. So Nanyuan thought it would be more meaningful to investigate what happened near Baixu Bridge on September 27 last year. The easiest way is to inquire at the police station in your jurisdiction.But judging from the map, it borders Taito District, Arakawa District, and Sumida District respectively, so you must ask the police stations in these three districts.Namwon thought it best to go to the Library of Congress and look up the events that happened on September 27 last year!

Nanyuan went to the Library of Congress, found the miniature version of the newspaper, and browsed through the evening paper of September 27 and the morning paper of September 28. On September 27th, like any other date, all kinds of things happened: a young mother killed her own baby, drunk driving, theft and murder, etc.Only one incident occurred near the White Beard Bridge around 4:00 p.m. The newspaper also published a mugshot of the deceased Yasuko Xiaocheng, who was very beautiful. Namwon immediately drove to the apartment. From Asakusa, drive across the Shirasu Bridge and walk for about five or six minutes to the Mukoshima Apartment.This is a luxury apartment with all three bedrooms.

He met Ichiro Sato, the middle-aged administrator mentioned in the newspaper.Namwon told him that he wanted to know about the incident that happened on September 27 last year. Sato Ichiro paused and said: "When I found out, she was wearing pajamas with a purple coat lying on the ground. I think the murderer is someone who is very familiar with Miss Xiaocheng, because she was wearing that kind of clothes to let the murderer in!" "What kind of person is Miss Xiaocheng Yasuko?" "She is the president of a big company!" The administrator said with a thumbs up. "It seems that she was a typist, and she lived a good life afterwards."

"Have you found the murderer?" "Ah, I found it. It's her former young lover. He's a tall company employee, a young man who loves her crazily. It's too much of a blow to him when he gets married with the president." "He pleaded guilty?" "No. But the court denied it. He has a motive and evidence, so there is nothing he can do." "Is the verdict?" "Yes. I was sentenced last month, and I even appeared in court as a witness. But the judgment has been delayed again and again, and it is estimated that the judgment will not come until the end of the year."

"If you want to talk about motivation, doesn't the president also have it? Knowing that she has a young lover, she will be jealous..." "The police also roughly investigated Mr. President, but he has an 'alibi'; and the relationship between them has been cold for a long time, and the police believe that the president will not have a motive for killing." "Do you know the name of that company?" "I know. It's the Central Industrial Company with its headquarters in Ginza. I heard that it's a company that specializes in importing products from Southeast Asia." "Did the president not go to court?" "Ah, I did. I met him twice. We met a few times when we came out of the court. I think he is not bad, and he told me that he took care of Miss Xiaocheng a lot and gave me gifts. .” "Does he drive every time he comes?" "No, he said that he took a taxi to Baixu Bridge and walked all the way. Could it be that he was afraid that driving would be too conspicuous?" "That man was forty-five or sixteen, with a mustache under his nose?" "You also know the president?" The administrator smiled. "Oh, I've only seen him once." Nan Yuan said.
