Murder Train to Paris 西村京太郎 1414Words 2018-03-16
According to Yayoi Shimazaki, Ugaki was supposed to be back in the morning.However, in the evening, Ugaki did not return to the apartment. After the last flight arrived at Narita Airport, there was still no news of him. Ugaki didn't come back! Totsukawa called Yayoi Shimazaki again. This time, there was no reply from her side. Totsukawa felt increasingly uneasy. This unease comes from the idea that "maybe I have made an irreparable mistake". (Could it be that Ugaki is the murderer, and he has gone away?) He pondered the question. Is Kamei's reasoning correct?That is, Yu Yuan borrowed money from the honorary chairman, grew up, and after being rejected, he held a grudge, so he committed murder.

He really wanted to know where Ugaki and Shimazaki were going at the moment. However, Ugaki and Shimazaki's apartments cannot be searched at this stage. Nevertheless, starting from the next day, Totsukawa still sent two young people, Nishimoto and Kusaka, to collect information and get as much information as possible about Ugaki and Yayoi. Ugaki has not yet returned from his trip to Southeast Asia, so it is difficult to collect information, but it may be possible to learn about Yayoi Shimazaki. Time passed quietly in the unease. Nishimoto and Kusaka didn't have any news, didn't they learn anything?

After more than four hours, Nishimoto and Kusaka returned. "About Yu Yuan, I only know that he went on a trip and never came back." Nishimoto said. "As for his situation, I think that's it. The question is Yayoi Shimazaki, what's the matter?" "We asked the apartment manager, but they didn't notice that she was gone. As soon as we said it, he was surprised and said, 'Yayoi Shimazaki is gone?' The female staff who lived in the next room also said that they didn't notice at all. " "It doesn't matter if you don't see anyone for two or three days. In this day and age!"

Kamei had a sullen expression on his face. "Therefore, nothing is gained. Only the fact that she does not live in the room is certain. She has no whereabouts, and there are still newspapers and mail in the letter box." "How many days?" "Two days." "The paper starts on November 10th?" "yes." "Did you ask for leave from the company?" "No, unexcused absenteeism." Nishimoto said. Sunset went on to say: "I met the person in charge of the company and her colleagues, and asked about the situation. They all said they didn't know why she was absent from work, and why she didn't contact her. Some colleagues were also worried that she might be involved in some incident."

"Is she one of those people who is absent from work all the time?" "No, it doesn't seem to have happened. I heard that although she is a melancholic woman, she is still serious about her work." "No clue at all?" "yes." "It's really not easy!" Totsukawa muttered. The next day, there was still no news of the two of them. However, Ogoshi's secretary Miura came to the Metropolitan Police Department. "After that day, we also checked the matter that Mr. Totsukawa said, which is the situation of Ugaki, the director of the Tourism Research Association."

Miura said. "So, what did you figure out?" Totsukawa asked expectantly. "I remember that Mr. Totsukawa said that he just wanted to know about his relationship with President Ogoshi. So we reviewed all the letters sent to the president to see if there was Ugaki." "Is there any result?" "I found it." Miura smiled slightly, and put an opened letter in front of Shiruchuan. Written in ballpoint pen on a slightly dirty white envelope: "President Dai Viet, head office of Dai Viet Group" The signature inside is: "Tourism Research Association Ugaki Wataru".

Postmark date is December 5th last year. Inside the envelope were two pieces of commercially available letter paper, with ballpoint pens of the same color, on which were written the following: "Have you answered this letter?" Totsukawa asked. "I've already said it last time. We secretaries read the letter to the president separately. The one who read this letter is Secretary Kato. He said he thought this kind of request was too selfish, so he ignored it." Miura said. "Didn't you show Mr. Ogoshi?" "yes." "Does this happen often?"

Kamei asked. At this time, Miura casually took out twelve or thirteen letters from the bag he brought. "This is just the part asking for sponsorship or borrowing from the letters to the president in the past week. You can see it after reading it. In short, there are many letters asking for sponsorship or borrowing with strong wording. Just because of and The president is from the same township, so if you ask for a loan of 10 to 20 million, it will be a lot. If you respond to your request, as you said a few days ago, our head office of Dayue Group will go bankrupt." Miura smiled wryly.

In order to verify his words, Totsukawa read a letter, which indeed reflected the extreme selfishness of the writer. "Of course, there was no answer to this letter." Miura said. "Would you please lend us all the letters?" Totsukawa said.
