Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Totsukawa and Shirai went down to the first floor together. The female police officer at the service desk spoke French and handed the phone to Totsukawa. "They said they were from Tokyo." Shirai said. Totsukawa took the phone: "Hey, hello!" From the other party came the voice of searching for a Kobundo section chief: "Is it Totsugawa-kun?" "it's me." "What time is it over there now?" "It's already past 11 o'clock in the evening on the 15th. The dinner here is procrastinating, there is really no way." "It's 7:00 in the morning in Tokyo. Did the Ogoshi couple go to your place? It's Ogoshi Senichiro."

Honda said. "At the welcome meeting tonight, he also delivered a speech as the chairman of the Japan-French Friendship Association." "This is a worldwide urban police gathering. It seems that the French police have limited funds. The Japan-French Friendship Association thought this was a very meaningful event, so they sponsored some, totaling 200,000 francs. Dai Viet's wife is French , as if her father had anything to do with the French police." "That's why I spoke as a guest of honor." "This is Ogoshi Senichiro, today he received a package containing explosives at his residence in Setagaya."

Honda said. "Yo, is it?" Unknowingly, Totsukawa raised his voice. "Fortunately, no one was injured. The safety of the Dai Viet couple who went to your place is worrying. So far, nothing happened, right?" "It seems to be nothing. The details are unclear. Do you know the schedule of their couple's activities?" "I'm trying to find out. I initially learned that they will stay until the 17th like you. It is expected to return to Paris by TGV in the afternoon of the 17th." "In that case, maybe he will take the same train as us. What is he doing in Grenoble for three days? We have to attend the World Urban Police Conference during the three days we are here. It is impossible to have contact with him."

"I heard that there are three reasons: one is that he was invited by the World Urban Police Conference to give a speech; the other is that Mrs. Dayue's natal family is in Grenoble; finally, he bought a large piece of land in the northeast of my country. He is planning to host the Winter Olympics there in eight years. Grenoble has successfully hosted the Winter Olympics, and he will probably go to investigate and learn some experience.” "That's right. So, did the Dayue couple bring any followers?" "You should bring a male and female secretary, both of whom are proficient in French and English. Moreover, Dai Viet is an important figure in the financial world, and I think the embassy in France will provide them with various conveniences."

"Now does he know about the explosives received at Tian Gu's home?" "I guess he'll know." "Is there no clue of the suspect yet?" "Not yet. Da Viet is domineering, and it is said that he has made a lot of enemies. The group is unable to identify the suspects now. In short, within the scope of your possibility, please pay more attention." "Understood." Totsukawa said.He thought it was really difficult. If you go with the big lady, there will always be a way to protect.But now, they have to attend the meeting for three days, and the couple are wandering around, how good is this?

Totsukawa returned to the dining table and relayed the contents of the call to Kamei. The Dai Viet couple had dinner at the same table with the mayor of Grenoble and the chief of police, talking and laughing happily. "How to do it?" Kamei asked. "Kamei-kun and I were formally invited to participate in this meeting. It is unlikely that we will be able to spare ourselves to protect this couple. The only possibility is to let Shirai-kun go." Totsukawa said. Clinked glasses of wine again.This is the first time to toast, I can't remember clearly.In short, have been drinking non-stop.

The French policeman at the same table said loudly. "Dry!" There were also some criminal police who toasted around the table. "If I go, no one will serve as an interpreter for you." Shirai said. "About this point, go back and ask the conference affairs team. Tomorrow, a reporter from the TV station will come to interview and see if they can officially provide us with an interpreter. If so, Shirai-kun can go and serve as a guard for the Dai Yue couple." Totsukawa said. It was past 12 o'clock when the dinner party ended. Totsukawa asked Charles from the Paris police station.Can you provide them with an interpreter for the event starting tomorrow.

"Available if necessary." Charle replied casually in English. Originally, it was stated in the invitation letter that an interpreter should be provided, but Totsukawa thought about it and said: "We want to answer the TV station's interview accurately, so please be sure to have an interpreter at that time." The translation Charles had prepared for the conference was a Japanese professor who was teaching Japanese literature in Grenoble. He told Totsukawa the name and phone number of the other party, and asked Totsukawa to negotiate in detail.It's hard to be so careless and lazy about this kind of thing.Even though it was late at night when we got back to the hotel, Totsukawa still called the professor named Nagata.

It seems that Nagata is a straightforward person. He immediately said after receiving the call: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow. It's okay, I have a car." The next day was the 10th and 16th.At 10:00 in the morning, Nagata drove his own BMW to the hotel. At the same time, Christina also came to pick her up in a Citroen, so only Totsukawa got into Nagata's car. Nagata was forty-five or six years old.He said that he came to Grenoble in April last year as a professor of exchanges between the two countries. When they arrived at the Civic Hall, Shirai, who arrived first, was already waiting for Totsukawa and the others there.

"Shall I go to the big lady's right away?" "But where are they now? Do you know?" "I checked. I was at the hotel in the morning. I heard that I will meet people related to the Grenoble Olympics in the afternoon. The problem is that I can't do activities with them. The criminal police will embarrass them if they are with them." "That's true." "So, I'm going to protect them secretly. At that time, the car will be essential." "I took Mr. Nagata's car with Kamei, and the Citroen provided by the conference affairs team is no longer needed. I told the conference affairs team to let you use it first."
