Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

This is an apartment that attracts many young people from the Middle East and other countries in Asia. Latin Street is a student street in the south of Strad Island.It is said that Latin Street means that the monks and students who lived in this area used to speak Latin. Many students, especially foreign students, still live there. Cafes, restaurants serving students, as well as bookstores, stationery stores, cinemas, etc. abound. Many international students also lived in the apartment where the explosion occurred. The explosion occurred in room 7O6 on the seventh floor, where a young man from the Middle East lived.

This person is called Maruku, 25 years old this year.He was drinking coffee at a nearby cafe when the explosion occurred. About two hours later, when he returned to the apartment, his room on the seventh floor was in a mess.Not only that, but he was also arrested by the criminal police of the Paris Police Department on the spot. The reason was that the body of a young Asian woman was found in the bombed-out room. Maruku was taken away by the police on the island of Strad. When the criminal policeman asked about the female corpse, he hesitated at first and didn't know what to say, and then he said: "It's a Japanese I just met yesterday."

"What about the name?" "I don't know, we didn't say each other's names." "What did you do after we met yesterday?" "She said she had no place to live, so I let her live in my apartment." "Why did the Japanese die in that way?" "How do I know. Made my room look like that!" Maruku said angrily. The woman's passport was found amid the rubble of blasted concrete walls and ceilings from the devastated room. The name on the passport is Yayoi Shimazaki. One hour later, at 10:5 pm, Totsukawa and Kamei rushed to the Paris police station after receiving a notification from Officer Pierre.

"In order to dissect the body as soon as possible, the body has been sent to the hospital. Because the power explosive exploded in a small room, the body was blown to pieces, and it can no longer be put together. It is really horrible!" Pierre said to Totsukawa and showed him the passport he found. "Did you find the pistol and the men's jacket and the baseball cap?" "No, not yet. Maybe on the way back from the Bastille." "What did Maruku, a Middle Easterner, say?" "He spoke very cautiously, but he still confessed about the subway. It was indeed at the instigation of Yayoi Shimazaki that he followed Mr. Ogoshi, took the same subway car, and opened the door to get off at Batudi Station. He got 500 In francs. But he said he never expected her to shoot with a pistol."

Pierre said. The next day, a pistol, a baseball cap, sneakers, jeans and other items were found in a coin-operated luggage storage box at Gare de Lyon. Coin-operated luggage storage boxes are set up by the railway department of Lyon Station for the convenience of passengers. After inspection and verification, the bullets in the gun were consistent with the bullets shot on the ceiling of the subway car, indicating that the pistol was undoubtedly the murder weapon. Totsukawa was also notified of the results of the autopsy. The explosion ruptured multiple internal organs, and because the explosion happened next to the body, half of the face was blown off.

Totsukawa and Kamei also watched the explosion site. Five or six tubes of explosives may have been used, causing the concrete walls on both sides to collapse, the ceiling to be broken, and the ground to be piled up with rubble. Fragments of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere. The iron door that entered the room was impacted by the explosion and hung crookedly from the door frame. "That's horrible!" Kamei sighed. "Was it an intentional suicide?" "The whole of Paris was cordoned off. Maybe she committed suicide knowing there was nowhere to go."

"Even so, suicide like this is too tragic." Totsukawa said. She brought so many tubes of high explosives, thinking that if she couldn't kill Dai Viet with a pistol, she would use explosives to kill him. Since this is the result, it means that she has lost all hope.But such a radical way of death is still too regrettable. Maruku confessed to the apartment bombing case as follows: He returned to his apartment on Latin Street around 4pm after getting off the train at Bertuti station. It was 5:30 when Yayoi Shimazaki came back.At that time, she was extremely excited, and her face was terribly pale.

The two then had dinner at a nearby restaurant.She paid for it. Later, she said that she wanted to think alone and borrow the apartment for two or three hours.So, he sat in a cafe to kill time, he didn't know about the explosion in the apartment, and he was shocked when he came back. As for the high explosives and pistols in the small bag that Yayoi Shimazaki carried with him, he did not know anything about it. Therefore, it seems certain that Yayoi Shimazaki committed suicide preparedly. Ogoshi Shinichiro said that he would hold a banquet to thank the detectives who had protected him.

On the 27th, Dai Viet booked a private room in the famous Champs-Elysees Hotel to entertain Officer Pierre, Detective Bart, Totsukawa and Kamei. At this moment, Pierre called Da Viet and asked. "The two detectives from Scotland Yard also said that they would like to see Mr. Dayue, is that okay?" "Scotland Yard's detective, is that amazing female police officer?" "Yes. Officer Elizabeth and Detective Dennis." "Oh, of course you are very welcome." "Actually, we should also invite a guest, a young female detective." "Who is it?"

"Detective Christina." "Ah, I remembered. The girl who was very intimate with that young Japanese detective?" "Exactly. Can you?" "Isn't it just adding two or three people? This is better, I like excitement very much." Da Yue said enthusiastically. At 6 p.m., Totsukawa and the others gathered in a private room on the second floor of the hotel. All men wear suits and ties. Christina and Elizabeth attended the banquet in fashionable fashion. Ogoshi and Secretary Miura greeted the guests together. Da Viet held up the champagne and greeted everyone:

"Today, to thank everyone, we have a special dinner. Please don't be too polite." Then the waiter brought French dishes. "Everyone, how about discussing this case here?" Suddenly, Officer Pierre proposed. Miura said in a flustered manner: "I invite you tonight to let everyone have fun. Is the topic of the case too heavy?" "I don't think it's heavy." Pierre tilted his head. "Isn't the case closed?" "The police are all here today. We want to revisit the incident that just ended." Pierre said. Miura wanted to say something else, but Dai Yue stopped him and said: "Isn't it great? Miura-kun, don't we also want to review this incident? The murderer is dead, so we can analyze this incident without hesitation." "Then, let me begin." Sergeant Elizabeth of Scotland Yard in London said in a calm tone. "Please tell me." Pierre urged. "While all of you were desperately chasing the murderer, Dennis Xingyu and I boarded the TGV train again. Mission, there was something incomprehensible about the incident in October last year." "Where?" Da Viet asked. "These are: Why was the gun smoke reaction not detected in the suspect's hand? Why was the pistol found on the luggage rack of car No. 2?" "Isn't there already an answer to this? The murderer has washed his hands in the bathroom of the car, so there is no smoke reaction. In addition, the pistol was thrown by the murderer Ugaki, so it is on the shelf." Miura spoke in his fluent English. Officer Elizabeth did not answer him directly, but went on to say: "Let's take a look at the same TGV compartment and talk about it later." As she spoke, she asked Dennis to take out a blank sheet of paper. What Dennis unfolded was a sketch with a width of 1.5 meters and a plan of the TGV compartment on it. Dennis posted the picture on the wall. "This is the floor plan of the car where the incident occurred. The seats on either side of the aisle are one row on one side and two rows on the other side. Half of the seats are facing each other." Elizabeth introduced slowly. "At one end of this car, the position next to the No. 4 car is the center of the incident. Mr. Ogoshi and his secretary Matsuno Yuki were invited by the magazine reporter Madeleine, and they were going to the bar in the No. 4 car to accept Interview. Madeleine walked in front, Mr. Ogoshi and Ms. Matsuno followed closely. At this time, the murderer shot Mr. Ogoshi from behind, but the bullet shot slanted and hit Matsuno Yuki, who immediately fell forward on the floor .” Dennis went on to introduce. Police officer Elizabeth Hill marked the seats of the people at that time on the map with a red ballpoint pen. "At that time, there were 7 other passengers sitting in the No. 3 compartment besides Mr. Ogoshi and Ms. Matsuno. Now I have drawn a circle where they were sitting at that time. Think about it, can these 7 people witness the incident at that time? What happened. Mrs. Ogoshi and Mr. Miura turned their backs to the place where the incident took place, and they are said to be discussing their schedule after Paris, so there is no possibility of seeing it. Now look at the other 5 people, they are all facing number 4 Sitting in the car. At first hearing, they may think they can see. Please look at the picture, 4 of the 5 people are sitting in the double seat near the window. I prefer to sit by the window. But when I actually sit down, I feel that the backrest of the seat in front is in the way, blocking the view ahead. In this way, 2 of the 4 people are reading, and the other 2 are looking out of the window. The last one of the five people was sitting in a row of seats, and he was also reading a book. What I want to emphasize is that when the incident happened, there were two people in the aisle, a man and a woman, who were the two murderers. More on that later Let’s talk about these two people. They stood in the middle of the car. Using a Colt-type automatic pistol equipped with a silencer, they fired three consecutive shots at Mr. Ogoshi who was about to leave the No. 3 car. Two of the thousand bullets hit Ms. Matsuno, the secretary next to Mr. Ogoshi, hit the car body with another shot. What I want to remind everyone here is that if these two people stand on the aisle, they will become a barrier, and the other 5 passengers will not be able to look ahead even if they want to see the front. It's hard to see." "To conclude that these two people are the murderers, there are still a few doubts." Dennis continued: "First of all, of course there is no problem with gunpowder smoke reaction on the palm. He has washed his hands in the bathroom of the car, so there is no reaction. Although there are many people who think this way, what we have at Scotland Yard is that if the gunpowder smoke is completely cleared To respond, you must wash it patiently and repeatedly. Of course, this requires a lot of water. The murderer escaped from the No. 3 car and could only wash it in the toilet of the No. 2 or No. 1 car. Then, one of the two cars The water supply tank of one car should have used a lot more water than the other cars, otherwise it would be strange." Elizabeth added: "So, we boarded the TGV express train yesterday. At the Paris Lyon station, we conducted an investigation on the problem Dennis mentioned just now. We checked the records of the day of the incident. According to records, the water supply in carriage 2 and carriage 1 The water on the box hardly decreased when it arrived at Paris-Lyon Station. In other words, the murderer never washed his hands. Second, why did he throw the pistol on the luggage rack of the No. 2 car? Why was the murderer in the No. 3 car After shooting, why don’t you throw the gun away on the spot and flee to carriages 2 and 1? That would be more natural, and it would be easier to blame the passengers in carriage 3. Throw the gun into carriage 2 On the luggage rack of the carriage, it is obvious that he told people that he committed the crime in carriage No. 3, fled to carriage No. 2, and then threw the gun away. Didn’t the young couple draw their attention to themselves?”
