Murder Train to Paris 西村京太郎 2076Words 2018-03-16
Secretary Miura, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "What are you talking about? It's over, and it's time to say goodbye to everyone. The president and I have done our best, and everyone has worked hard. The president held such a banquet to thank you. Let's stop talking about this topic , tell me something happy." There was obvious panic and anxiety in his tone. "However, I can't let go of this incident. Anyway, my pistol killed someone." Sergeant Bart said loudly. "There are doubts everywhere. There are so many doubts that no conclusion can be drawn. Isn't this a waste of time?"

Dai Viet said. "If you want to draw a conclusion, you can draw a conclusion." It was Pierre who spoke. Dai Viet turned to Pierre. "Based on the questions of two colleagues from Scotland Yard, Police Officer Bart in New York City, and the Totsugawa Police Department in Japan and myself, we can draw the following conclusion. In the incident last October, the Japanese couple Zigaki and Shimazaki No shots were fired. Moreover, the murderer was not Mr. Ogoshi, but Ms. Yuki Matsuno, who was dead. Judging from the close-range shooting, the murderer could only be Mr. Ogoshi. He instigated Ms. Matsuno to steal Bart’s pistol, and shot him again. Kill her. That's the conclusion."

Pierre said. "Why am I getting more and more confused. Then, what happened to the repeated threats against me? Besides, why did I kill Secretary Matsuno?" Dai Viet retorted. Immediately afterwards, Miura asked: "Officer Pierre came to the conclusion just now that even if the incident in October can be explained, how can this incident be explained? Assuming that Matsuno Yuki was assassinated on the TGV train, then the murderer has achieved his goal, and this time it should be safe Nothing happened. But the president was attacked again, how are you going to explain this?"

His tough tone was no different from an angry protest. Pierre turned to Totsukawa: "I think the cause of this incident is all in Japan. Could Mr. Totsukawa please explain this incident clearly?" "Can I tell?" Totsukawa asked back. "Please! This is something that the Japanese police should deal with. Please come here and talk about it." Pierre waved to Totsukawa. Totsukawa quickly wrote a few words on the recording paper and handed it to Kamei. Kamei looked at the note, nodded and walked out of the room. Totsukawa stood up and walked to the middle of the room.

"Just now, Officer Pierre gave an introduction on the incident that happened in October last year. I also feel the same way. They didn't want to kill Mr. Ogoshi. They targeted Secretary Matsuno Yuki at the beginning. Let's start with her assassination. " Da Yue hesitated to speak. Totsukawa ignored it and continued his speech: "So, who is the murderer who killed her? It must be someone who was in the No. 3 car at the time, and a person who had a motive for killing her. At that time, there were 7 passengers sitting in the No. 3 car. Among them , 5 people are French, they have nothing to do with the Japanese Matsuno Yuki, and they have no motive to kill her. Ugaki and Shimazaki are in a position where they can shoot, but they have no reaction to the smoke. Mrs. Ogoshi and Secretary Miura may have a motive , but the smoke reaction is also zero. The French magazine reporter Madeleine who came to interview is also a Frenchman who has no motive. In this way, only Mr. Dai Viet is left. There is likely to be a murderous relationship between the employer and his secretary The motive, and at that time, he was in the position where the gun could be fired in this compartment. That is to say, Mr. Dai Yue is the real murderer."

"Please wait." Dai Yue interrupted Totsukawa with a smile, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you regard me as a murderer. Because you have the right to think freely. However, if I am a murderer, there will be at least three doubts. Please explain." Dai Viet spoke in beautiful English. Totsukawa also said in English: "Please say." "First, how do you explain the several threatening letters sent to me? Second, I also underwent a smoke reaction test at the Paris police station. Have you forgotten? The test result is also zero. Third, assume that I am the murderer But I did not leave the No. 3 car. It is strange that the pistol used as the murder weapon is not somewhere in the No. 3 car. However, the pistol was found on the luggage rack of the No. 2 car. How do you explain this? "

Da Yue asked continuously. "The threatening letter will be explained later. Answer the other two points first. Indeed, you have also accepted the smoke reaction test. However, when Matsuno Yuki, who was shot dead, fell down, you immediately picked her up. She Blood gushed out from her back, and your hands were immediately soaked with blood. But you still hugged her desperately, making people feel what a kind boss you are. In fact, your purpose is to make her The blood is all over the palms. Only then will you have a good reason to wash your hands when you get to the Paris police station."

When Totsukawa said this, Officer Pierre went on to say: "As Mr. Totsukawa said, after arriving at the Paris police station, Mr. Ogoshi offered to wash his bloody hands. I didn't expect him to be the murderer, so I took him to the bathroom, where he washed his hands carefully, and then Go get tested for the smoke reaction." "Let's answer another question." Totsukawa said. "The problem of the pistol. It is true that Mr. Da Yue did not leave the No. 3 car, but the pistol was found on the shelf of the No. 2 car. To solve this mystery, there is only one answer, and that is that he has an accomplice. Arriving at the Colt-type automatic pistol with a silencer, I was ready to find an opportunity to start. At this moment, the French female reporter wanted to interview and proposed to go to the bar in the No. 4 car next to it. This was the opportunity. Secretary Matsuno Yuki wanted to be an interpreter, They left their seats together. The female reporter walked in front, and you asked Matsuno Yuki to follow closely. You shot her from behind. Two shots hit the back, and the third shot accidentally missed. Of course, you used a handkerchief or something What to do with the pistol? By coincidence, the young Japanese couple came to carriage No. 3 at this time, and you handed them the gun quickly. Hurriedly left the No. 3 car, entered the No. 2 car, and then threw the pistol on the luggage rack. If they are the murderers, they should be thrown in the No. 3 car, so that the suspicion can be transferred to the passengers in the No. 3 car. But Therefore, they did not throw their guns in the No. 3 car. From this point of view, it is not accidental that these two people were in the No. 3 car when the incident happened. Perhaps, they have been lurking for a long time In carriage 3, they have been waiting for the signal from Da Viet. In addition, they have another task, which is what Ms. Elizabeth said, standing in the aisle to block the sight of other passengers and prevent them from seeing the murderer."

Totsukawa said. "It seems that you are not ready to answer my first question." Dai Viet said.
