Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

"According to this, the two young Japanese are not the murderers of the October incident?" Pierre asked Elizabeth. "I think so. The two of them cannot be considered as attackers." Elizabeth said emphatically. "However, Ms. Elizabeth, the male of the two Japanese, who held a grudge against the refusal of a loan from Daigoshi, has been confirmed by the Totsugawa Police Department in Tokyo. He died in desperation in Japan. His girlfriend This time, I came to Paris to assassinate Mr. Ogoshi again. If they were not the murderers of the incident in October last year, why did the man’s death method be close to suicide, and the woman shot Mr. Okoshi again? Besides, the pistol used by the woman this time was for October last year And prepared."

Pierre said to Elizabeth. "Please allow me to say a few words too." Officer Bart of New York raised his hand for the floor. "What are you trying to say, Mr. Bart." Pierre looked at him and said. Bart looked at everyone in a circle, and said: "The two from Scotland Yard have raised doubts. I also want to say something about this. In the incident last October, I was negligent and dropped the pistol. The killer used it. As I said, the gun thief was a woman. Yes. I still remember her faint perfume smell. After the TGV incident, I also met Yayoi Shimazaki. However, I didn’t smell the same perfume smell from her. You must have washed your body. There must have been no shower room on that train."

"So it wasn't Yayoi Shimazaki who stole your pistol?" asked Pierre. "Hmm. According to my intuition, it's someone else. The perfume I smell is from Yuki Matsuno. It must be her who stole my gun!" "But, in that case..." "Yes. It is absolutely unacceptable to say that Yayoi Shimazaki and her lover Ugaki Wataru shot Mr. Ogoshi with my Colt pistol." "However, if they are not the murderers, how can we explain the subsequent events? Ugaki died, and Yayoi Shimazaki shot Mr. Ogoshi in the subway. Isn't it difficult to explain these things? Could it be that the incident in October last year is related to this case Irrelevant?"

Pierre looked at Bart inexplicably. "I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Totsukawa." Bart said to Totsukawa. "Frankly speaking, I always thought that the murderers in October last year were Ugaki Wataru and Shimazaki Yayoi. They had motives and sent several threatening letters to Dai Yue. Besides, this time they shot and killed the people in the car at the subway Bastille station. Ogoshi's is undoubtedly Yayoi Shimazaki. In this way, it is natural to conclude that the murderer in October last year was also her and Ugaki." Having said that, Totsukawa changed his tone:

"However, if the two of them are murderers, there is something incomprehensible. Just like what Police Officer Elizabeth and Detective Dennis have pointed out. In addition, I will also talk about their experiences in Japan and suspicious points in their actions. Let me talk about Ugaki first. He is an ordinary employee who likes to travel. One day, he suddenly asked Mr. Okoshi for a loan of 10 million yuan, or 500,000 francs. He sent a letter saying that he needed money urgently. However, But he was neglected. He began to hate Mr. Dayue, sent a threatening letter, and wanted to kill people. The threatening letter signed by him as a "masque of justice" has been verified through handwriting identification. Therefore, it should be clear that he is the murderer But, at the same time, doubts also appeared. The first is the problem of money. He asked to borrow money because he had no money, so he was treated coldly. However, he traveled abroad as usual. In October last year, the TGV high-speed train The incident happened when he and Yayoi Shimazaki were traveling in Europe. Where did the travel expenses come from? There is no sign of who else he borrowed money from.”

"do you have anything else?" asked Pierre. "One more thing needs to be explained. Ugaki fled to Southeast Asia, but he returned to Japan. Finally, his body was found in the mountains. He was poisoned to death, stripped of his clothes, and then buried in the ground. We always believed that he Tried to die with her lover Yayoi Shimazaki. However, she failed. After burying him, she started attacking Mr. Ogoshi for revenge. However, one thing is not clear why she stripped her lover naked and buried him What? For him, she came to Paris to avenge her. Since she loved her so passionately, she should cremate his body in Japan and build a tomb."

Totsukawa said. Finally, Constable Pierre spoke about his doubts. "The two people from Scotland Yard have already talked about the smoke reaction. I guarantee on the honor of the Paris Police Department that our detection capabilities are strong. Even if there is a little smoke reaction, it will never be missed. Also That is to say, no smoke reaction, no firing. We did a live fire test of Officer Butt's Colt Automatic with the assistance of the NYPD. Mr. Butt was there. The trajectory was very consistent, The hit ability is extraordinary. Shooting 5 shots from a distance of 50 meters, all of them were concentrated in a circle with a diameter of 20 cm. We asked 5 people who had never fired a gun to shoot once, including Americans and Frenchmen. , Orientals, the distance is 10 meters. Why did you choose 10 meters? Because the length of a TGV car is about 20 meters. We believe that the murderer shot in the center of the No. 3 car slightly to the No. 4 car. If you lean towards the opposite direction of the No. 2 compartment, you may be spotted by the passengers in the No. 3 compartment. Therefore, it is set at 10 meters, but in fact it may be closer. At a distance of 10 meters, we asked 5 novices to play each Five shots, with suppressed Colt automatics, fired at the same size target, without a single miss."

"However, Monsieur Pierre. The TGV travels at nearly 200 kilometers per hour. Wouldn't it make a lot of difference to shoot in those conditions?" Dai Viet asked. Pierre nodded and said: "Indeed. The incident did happen in a high-speed train. Therefore, these 5 people were invited to shoot 5 rounds under the same conditions as in the TGV train. Of course, it was approved by the French railway department. The result is the same. , none deviated from the target." "But at that time, the murderer missed it. He was aiming at me, but he shot the secretary, Ms. Matsuno, causing her to die unexpectedly."

Dai Viet said. "Yeah, that's why it's incomprehensible!" Pierre said.
