Chapter 21 chapter Ten

"Why arrest me? I want to know why!" Yoshimura asked Tajima sophistry. "I'll tell you right away!" Tajima also replied unceremoniously. He surveyed the room again.In the middle of the room was a handbag. "Are you going to travel?" Tajima asked, staring at Yoshimura's face. Yoshimura did not answer, but kept looking at the ceiling. Tajima opened the handbag and dumped the contents on the straw mat.He tried to find some drugs or something in it, but it was just some clothes. "Did you find anything?" Yoshimura looked at Tajima provocatively.

Tajima opened the drawers again, opened the closet, and rummaged around, but found neither drugs nor a pistol. Tajima became more and more anxious.If Yoshimura is let go this time, he will definitely disappear.But no evidence was found and he could not be arrested. Tajima anxiously looked around the room again.The room was small, so there seemed to be nothing else to look for. "Damn it!" Tajima cursed in a low voice, and looked at Yoshimura again.He suddenly realized that Yoshimura was staring at one place intently. —what is he looking at? He was staring at the table, where a cast-iron ashtray stood.What's so cool about that ashtray?

"You seem to be looking at that ashtray." Tajima asked deliberately. Sure enough, Yoshimura's face suddenly turned pale. Tajima brought the ashtray over. There was a small ball of paper inside, and the outside was a bit mushy.Was Yoshimura burning this ball of paper just now?Tajima took out the ball of paper and spread it flat on the table.This is a pawn ticket, one-third of which has been burned, but many words on it are still there. ——Two thousand Japanese yen.Except for the crocodile handbag... Tajima immediately recalled what Adachi had said: His wife, Kyoko Adachi, always carried a crocodile leather bag with her.

So could this crocodile leather bag belong to Kyoko Adachi? "So that's how it is!" Tajima looked at Yoshimura and laughed, "Because of this, you were arrested on suspicion of murder! Because you were suspected of killing Hamasaki and Adachi Kyoko!" Masaichi Yoshimura's face suddenly turned pale. "This is an order, that guy wants to wash his hands and quit." Yoshimura said in a timid voice, "I didn't do it, it was the head of the 'Yizhong Group' who ordered me to do it..." "Stop explaining here!" Tajima said in a calm tone, "Go to the Metropolitan Police Department and tell the person who gave you the order!"
