Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

That night, Totsukawa and Kakuno discussed their plans for tomorrow in the hotel room. "If Ogoshi Shoichiro gets scared and stays in this hotel from tomorrow onwards, our guards will feel comfortable." Kamei said. "No, he's sure to be out tomorrow. He doesn't want to be thought frightened." "Do you think Yayoi Shimazaki has any friends?" "If she makes a lot of local calls, you have to think she has an accomplice. As for the nature of this accomplice, I can't say." "What's going on with today's firecracker incident? It can't be an attempt to murder Ogoshi Senichiro with firecrackers."

"It's a warning, or a challenge. Let's scare Dai Yue first, and then commit murder." "It's pretty dramatic." Kamei said. "Probably because I hated Da Yue Zhanichiro deeply, and killing him all at once was not enough to vent my anger, so I threatened him first. In addition, it may also be to use the firecrackers to observe how the police protect Da Yue. " "This farce, whether you like it or not, will be reported in the newspapers, and the arrest of Aoki will also be reported. In this way, the deployment of the police will be known."

"This is also impossible." Totsukawa said. "Yayoi Shimazaki can also guess. There must be a lot of police guarding around Ogoshi Senichiro. In this way, she will have enough mental preparation." "I heard that two people from Scotland Yard boarded the TGV train today?" "Ah, I hear they're going to inspect that train again." "Is there anything to be gained?" "Who knows. Even if there is a harvest, as for us, the first thing is to catch Yayoi Shimazaki as soon as possible." Totsukawa seemed to be talking to himself. "It was just said that she used a passport with the name Tachibana Yuko, right?"

"Well. Inspector Pierre said that this time all restaurants in Paris will be searched for people with this name. Of course, she may have used another name at this time. At the same time, it should also be considered that she has found another A Japanese like Aoki boarding in his apartment." "Yayoi Shimazaki is a very beautiful woman. I think if she asks, she will find a place easily." Kamei said. There is truth to what he said.Now, all kinds of people are pouring into Paris, and there must be some illegal residents among them. Next, the thing to do is to observe the famous places in Paris that Aoki took Yayoi Shimazaki to.These places of interest are:

Montmartre - Place Telutauro Louvre Museum Seine (Cruise) saint martin canal Bois de Boulogne Flower Market Center Pompidou Square latin quarter subway These are all written down by Aoki from his memory. Strangely, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe are not among the famous relics.This is not so much Yayoi Shimazaki's interest as she thinks that when Ogoshi is sightseeing in the city, he will not go to such places that have been printed on postcards.Maybe she thinks these places are not easy to get started? "The Flower Market is a square located north of the Paris Police Station. According to the tourist guide, it is open every day except Sunday. It is said that it becomes a bird market on Sundays. Could she attack Dai Viet under the nose of the Paris Police Station?" ?"

Kamei said. "Perhaps she thought that Da Yue would be more at ease with that kind of place." "What kind of place is the square of the Center Pompidou?" "It's like this. In that square, people from all over the world gathered, and they performed their own specialties. There were also some brave young people among them. It was very interesting. Looking for young and promising painters in the Lu square, it is also possible to watch the performances of young people from all over the world in the Pompidou Center Square. Yayoi Shimazaki considered this, so he went to observe in advance.”

"An accident has happened in Montmartre today. There are still eight places left. It would be great if Ogoshi went to places other than these eight places. If Yayoi Shimazaki didn't observe in advance, it would be difficult for her to make a move." Kamei said. "How about asking Secretary Miura to persuade Ogoshi tomorrow?" "Yes. There are many other interesting places in Paris." Kamei said. "Besides, it would be better if I didn't have to ride in that big Mercedes-Benz limousine, so I wouldn't have to worry about being followed by Yayoi Shimazaki. Driving around in such a conspicuous car is the same as telling everyone that I'm here now Well, isn't it?"

"Yes. That car is too eye-catching." Kamei smiled wryly. Whether it is a good visit to the Louvre or a walk in the Bois de Boulogne, you must park your car somewhere nearby in advance. In Yayoi Shimazaki's view, there is no need to follow them into the art museum or the forest, as long as they return to the car and attack them when they return. "If they still drive that big car tomorrow, a criminal policeman will have to stand beside the car." Totsukawa said. The next day, on the 25th, Totsukawa told Secretary Miura about the police's proposal. However, as Totsukawa predicted, Ogoshi's mood today was not affected by yesterday's riots.He was in high spirits, unafraid, and dismissive of the police's overtures.

"I am the general representative of Dai Viet Group Corporation, and the president of the Japan-French Friendship Association. How can I change the plan easily because of a little threat?" Dai Yue deliberately came to Totsukawa and Kamei, and said categorically.Seeing the puzzled look of the two of them, he explained again: "Frankly, I'm very tired of this intimidation. It's been going on since last year, isn't it. I want to get it over with as soon as possible. For that, I'm going around Paris a lot, and the killers will find opportunities If you do it, you can arrest him. This is the best way. Yesterday's firecracker incident really shocked me, and now I don't care. Please catch the murderer, even if I get hurt a little. I I have full confidence in Totsukawa-kun and Kamei-kun, and I have great trust in the Paris Police Department. So, I have nothing to fear."

"But there's no need to go to places where Yayoi Shimazaki stepped on." Totsukawa said. Da Yue vigorously shook his head. "This is the murderer's challenge to me. Since the murderer has set foot on me to assassinate me, I must resolutely fight to bring this incident to an end." "Then, please allow me or Detective Kamei to ride in the same car with you, is that okay?" "In this way, I feel at ease, but the murderer will be on guard, and maybe he won't show up. Because Yayoi Shimazaki knows you two." "Isn't it okay to ask the criminal police from the Paris Police Department to ride in the same car as an interpreter?"

"Totsukawa-kun, the opponent is just a young woman, why bother to mobilize so many people. Please take care of my self-esteem. When I came to Paris, I felt scared, so I asked the criminal police from the Paris Police Department to guard the city. Are you a laughing stock? I absolutely cannot bear this. Totsukawa-kun, as the general representative of the Japan-French Friendship Association, I have given speeches in front of the French many times. I often mentioned the spirit of Bushido in Japan, and said that it is still in the hearts of Japanese people. I still retain the spirit of Bushido. I have said so much. When I am threatened, I will be timid and hide everywhere, so what I said is not a lie. People will say that the person who promotes Bushido is the spirit of not fearing death. Scared Got to run around..." Dai Viet said. "Is it bushido?" "Yes! It's Bushido. I have warrior blood in me, and my family is proud of it, even if people say we are an anachronism." "Understood." That's all Totsukawa could say. He then relayed Dai Viet's thoughts to Officer Pierre by phone. "Bushido." Pierre repeated in his dialect Japanese. "I like it too. I have also read the English translation of "Ye Yin". So, I can understand Dai Viet's forward-looking mood." "However, the opponent doesn't care about bushido or not. She just aims and pulls the pistol trigger." Totsukawa said. Pierre giggled from the other end of the phone. "Strange?" "In France we also have a spirit similar to Japan, called chivalry, but it is often distorted or turned into a nuisance to our neighbors." After Pierre finished speaking, he went on to ask: "So, has Mr. Ogoshi's schedule for today been fixed?" "At the beginning, he wanted to see the city according to his own interests, but we still asked him to make a predetermined route, leave the hotel at 11 am, and take a car across the Champs Elysees to the Ile de Sde. We visited the flower market and After Notre Dame Cathedral, he had a light meal in a nearby cafe and then took the subway. He just wanted to feel the atmosphere in the subway, return to the original place soon, and then take the car to the Center Pompidou. It is said that His purpose is not for art exhibitions, but mainly to see the open-air performances held in the square in front of it. That’s all for today. Tomorrow, he plans to take a cruise on the Seine River.” As Totsukawa said, Pierre seemed to be taking notes. "Got it. I'll pass it on to Officer Butt." He said. "There are a lot of people in these places, right?" "Yes. They are all perfect places for sneak attacks. It is easy to sneak up on Mr. Dai Yue quietly by mixing in the crowd." "Then, today will be a contest." "I think so too. We are currently investigating the foreigners living in Paris, especially those who are overstaying illegally. There may be some among these people who saved Yayoi Shimazaki's handbags and stayed with her yesterday." Pierre said.
