Chapter 17 chapter eight

She was lost in thought. Eguchi did cause damage to the company's reputation due to the unethical love affair, and he resigned because of this.And it is really puzzling for such a man to become the vice president of a new joint venture company with the United States. But he just fell for it. Could it be some "great achievement"?The current steel market is sluggish. The acquisition of this American steel company by Japan's Chuo Iron and Steel Corporation may open up the US and world markets? Xi Muzi has not heard of any new products developed by the Central Iron and Steel Company recently.So is it "improper" for a chief of the secretarial department to run a large joint venture company?

Could it be that Eguchi was awarded this post because of some "hard work"? Eguchi is the head of the secretarial section.His direct boss is the president, and he should know the top secret of the company.Is it because of this? Could it be because Yuko, who had a relationship with Eguchi, learned something from Eguchi? But this is all imagination, and it is very difficult to prove it. Xi Muzi went to Chiba to meet Yuko's mother. Yuko's mother, Keiko, brought back her daughter's belongings. She placed these relics at home. Xi Muzi also searched one by one.The postcard from Eguchi I saw last time was also among them.

But what caught Xi Muzi's attention was a business card kept by Yuko. ——Are you trying to get the Eguchi couple divorced and are investigating their affairs? Xi Muzi thinks so. It's so pitiful that Yuko is infatuated to this point. After Xi Muzi came back, he went to this "Nakata Xingxinsuo" in Yotsuya.This is a very small firm, and Nakata Haruki is the director of this firm. "Ah, that's what you asked about, I remember!" Zhong Tian, ​​who is said to have been a criminal policeman, said to Xi Muzi carelessly. "Is it to investigate the matter of the Eguchi couple?"

"Eguchi? Who is it?" "What about Keiichiro Eguchi, secretary of the Central Iron and Steel Company, and his wife! Is Yuko investigating their affairs?" Xi Muzi said, Zhongtian smiled and replied: "No, Ms. Kasuga Yuko wants to investigate Ichimura Zakuzao." "Who is Ichimura Zazao?" Xi Muzi asked puzzledly. "It's the president of the Central Iron and Steel Company!" "President? Why does Yuko want to investigate Mr. President's matter?" "I don't know the reason. But Ichimura Sozao is the grandson of Ichimura Takeshi, who founded the Chuo Iron and Steel Corporation. He is the holder of many shares. It is said that he has a tax evasion scandal and so on. She wants to investigate whether these things are true. true."

"and after?" "I'm really sorry, because you are not the employer, so I can't tell you about these things. But I can tell you that there is no tax evasion or scandal between men and women in Ichimura. Mr. Ichimura is an outstanding person." "Has the investigation report been given to Yuko?" "Yes. Why, no more?" "Yes. None of her relics." "It's so strange, it should be there!" "Can I have a look at the archive?" "This is also not allowed. Because the investigation report cannot be handed over to a third party."

"Then if I entrust you to investigate Ichimura's request again, I will pay the investigation fee." Xi Muzi said. Zhong Tian quickly waved his hand: "That's not okay. As I said just now, there is nothing wrong with Ichimura Zazao, no matter how you investigate, you will come to this conclusion." --nonsense! Xi Muzi didn't believe what he was telling the truth. If "nothing happened", why didn't I see the investigation report and Yuko died!It is not inconvenient for the employer to let a third party see it. Xi Muzi walked out of the Xingxin office.

She was thinking as she walked. She walked from Yotsuya towards Hanzomon, and tried to analyze the relationship between what happened up to today. Yuko is in love with her boss's secretary, Keke Changkou. That's for sure. Yuko entrusts Xingshin to investigate the company's president's tax evasion and male and female scandals. Yuko is not interested in such things. So she must have been entrusted by someone else. It didn't take much thinking to understand that this person could only be Eguchi! But why did the chief of the secretary department investigate the president's affairs?

There can be many reasons. If the development speed from section chief to minister, director, and executive director is too slow. Could it be that Eguchi wants to "reach the sky in one step"? Because he is the chief of the secretary department, he should be able to detect the secret of the president. Eguchi decides to take advantage of this opportunity after hearing rumors of tax evasion and sex scandals involving the city and village presidents. But it's neither safe nor time to go out on your own, and it's not appropriate for you to go to Xingxin or a private detective agency to entrust such a thing.In this way, it is "natural" to use Yuko's name.

Nakata Koshin gave Yuko the investigation report on the tax evasion and scandal of the city and village president. Yuko also handed over the report to Eguchi in order to make her loved one come to the fore as soon as possible.But this result led to her misfortune. Xi Muzi happened to find a telephone booth in the park, she went in and called Eguchi's family. It was Eguchi who answered the call. "About Yuko Kasuga's death, I have something to say. Maybe I know all about it. You asked Yuko to commission Xingshin to investigate the matter of the Central Iron and Steel Company, and then killed Yuko."

Xi Muzi said word by word.
