Chapter 18 Chapter VII

"How was she before she came to this store?" Tajima continued to ask the proprietress, "that is, before she worked here." "I don't know that." The proprietress seemed to be apologetic.It's not uncommon here that bosses don't know about employees' pasts. "Does she have a male companion here? A closer relationship, except of course her current husband." "It seems to be very close to a man named Sanfu." "Three husbands?" "It's a 'bugger' around here." "Do you know where this man is now?"

"died!" "Dead?" Tajima was stunned.The only clue was broken so easily. "He was drunk and got into a fight with someone, and he was stabbed several times in the stomach and died!" The proprietress said to Tian Dao, "The other party is also a gang of hooligans." "Then do you still remember what kind of gang organization this man named Sanfu is?" "Hmm...it seems to be called 'Jizhong Group'. Yes, he arrogantly showed us the badge at that time!" "Yizhong group..." Tajima murmured the name. There is this organization in his memory, and he knew it when he was chatting with a criminal policeman who was in charge of dealing with drug trafficking and smuggling.

Yes, it is the "Jizhong Group".Adachi Kyoko is also a drug addict, there must be a connection between the two! Since the man named Sanfu died, the clue from the woman was cut off, but the clue from the man can still be found. Tajima left the "Columbus" bar. This is not a simple death for love case, Tajima firmly believes this.If this is true, it is impossible for Hamasaki to be just a cosmetics salesman. —Could he be a drug dealer? Tajima suddenly had this thought.Will they use salesmen for this kind of thing? They "recruit" people from cosmetic salesmen.If you give money, such a person is not difficult to get hooked.With the status of lock pushers, they can swagger to various households to engage in this activity.

Perhaps Hamasaki accepted the order of the organization and joined the cosmetics company as a salesman.Every day, he brings out a large package of cosmetics from the company, and first goes home to change things. Of course, he can also hide the drugs in the cosmetic packaging box, and then rushes to find his "regular customers". Because he "sold" more cosmetics and paid more income every time, he was trusted by the company and became an excellent salesman.The money he got from drug trafficking far exceeded the money he paid for the goods. If Adachi Kyoko was one of his regular customers, then, now that there is love death, this line will be broken.This single line of contact can guarantee the high level of confidentiality of the organization's activities, which Tajima has heard from the anti-narcotics police.

In other words, this is most likely a feigned love affair! Tajima thought, although this is just imagination, it is a very satisfactory explanation: Mino Hamasaki is a drug dealer, and Kyoko Adachi is a customer. One of these two people caused trouble for the organization, so they created such a disguise In the case of dying for love, the two were killed and silenced. But this is reasoning and has no factual basis, and further investigation is necessary.
