Chapter 30 Chapter nine

The Komoro Police Station soon received photos of Ryoko Nimura and her lover Yoshida who stole 300 million yen in public funds 11 years ago. Totsukawa and Miura Police Department of Komoro Police Station looked at the two photos together. "The male is 45 years old and the female is 28 years old." Miura said. "After 11 years, the man should be 56 years old, and the woman should be 39 years old." Totsukawa said from the side. "This woman looks ordinary, but the man has special features. But after 11 years, it won't be so easy to find." "I also find it difficult. Besides, the newspapers and periodicals quickly stopped publishing those news at that time, and the bank and the police didn't seriously investigate. The couple must have changed their image and lived!"

Totsukawa said. "For 11 years, Kojiro Kawauchi has been accepting their 'grants'?" Miura said with emotion. "I don't think he made an excessive request once. If Kawauchi had asked for half of the 300 million, I'm afraid he would have been killed! 11 years ago, I think it was 50,000 yen a month for him, of course It may have risen a little bit, so it lasted for 11 years!" "Grow 'wages' as prices rise." "Yes, it's 'salary'." Ten Tsukawa also smiled. "But why was Kawauchi suddenly killed?" Miura asked.

"This is how I see it." Totsukawa continued after a pause, "In the past 10 years, Kawauchi has not made excessive demands on the other party. Counting from the time he was in the third year of high school 11 years ago, I think they agreed After 10 years, the other party didn’t stop, and Kawauchi didn’t take the initiative to ask them to stop, so the other party got angry. So they stopped paying. Kawauchi threatened the other party. So I wrote that essay.” "Then he was killed..." "Yes." Totsukawa nodded. "That woman killed Kawauchi?" Miura asked, and looked again at the photo of Yoshiko Nimura.

He added a pair of sunglasses with pen to this faxed photo.Then compare it with that picture. "It doesn't look like that!" Miura muttered. "It's been 11 years, and she may have had plastic surgery! To prevent her from being hunted down, of course she has to change her image." Totsukawa explained. Indeed, if Yoshiko Nishimura and Toru Yoshida are arrested, this incident will be resolved. Even if Yoshiko Nimura denied poisoning Kojiro Kawauchi, but with the identification of the two flight attendants, she could still be prosecuted.Moreover, the coffee can with potassium cyanide reaction was also found in the garbage of the "Morning No. 3" special train that day.

No fingerprints were found on the jar, so it must have been thrown away by the murderer after wiping his own fingerprints.Judging from Kawauchi Kojiro's anatomy, the potassium cyanide reaction in his stomach is consistent with the reaction of the coffee can. The murderer made Kawauchi Kojiro drink coffee mixed with potassium cyanide in the carriage. And the murderer must have got off at Komoro Station, where there are many passengers.Because it is more dangerous to get off the train after arriving at the terminal Nagano.After killing Chuanuchi, the murderer must have wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible.

"When these two people are arrested, I also hope to be present." Miura said. "Of course, because this incident is within the jurisdiction of the Nagano Prefectural Police Station!" Totsukawa said with a smile. Later, he met Midori Kakizawa again.They met at the tea shop in front of the station, and Totsukawa ordered black tea and snacks for her. Totsukawa explained the current situation to her. "The incident will be resolved soon. Yoshiko Nimura and Toru Yoshida will also be arrested and brought to justice." Midori took a sip of her snacks and was thinking about something while drinking her black tea.

"Mr. Kawauchi has been getting that money for 11 years?" "yes." "But Yoshida Toru and Nimura Ryoko have already succeeded in doing something with the 300 million yuan?" "We think so too." "But they didn't do anything, it's so strange." Midori said. "What's strange?" "Yesterday I re-read Mr. Kawauchi's essay. If what he wrote is true, then the couple who stayed at the 'Morning' Hotel 11 years ago spent money like water." "Probably because their money came from being unfair and easy." Totsukawa said, "People are also very strange sometimes."

After Totsukawa finished speaking, his face suddenly became ugly. He decided to let Midori stay in Xiaomoro, and he went back to Tokyo first.Because Midori said that her sister died in Xiaomoro, she couldn't leave for a while. As soon as Totsukawa returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, Kamei excitedly reported to him: "Toru Yoshida is dead!" "How do you know?" Totsukawa asked. "Yoshida's younger brother lives in Mitaka. We went to see him today and found out that he received the notice of Yoshida Toru's death three years ago." Speaking of which, Kamei showed Totsukawa the letter of proof, which was typed with a typewriter.

"And they said that Toru Yoshida's brother went to the Shizuoka Police Station to confirm the body." Kamei said. "Where does Toru Yoshida live?" "I seem to be living alone in an apartment in Ito City, Shizusen Prefecture. I've been living there since I broke up with Yoshiko Nimura." "So, Kawauchi received funding from Ryoko Nimura alone?" "It seems to be like this." Kamei said. "What did she do with that money, and where would she hide away to live a leisurely life?" "I think she's in Tokyo. Because that's where she deposited the money."

Kamei said. "In this way, two questions arise." Totsukawa said. "Which two questions?" "As Kakizawa Midori said, 11 years ago in the 'Morning' hotel, there were two lovers who spent money like water. It would be no surprise if they succeeded in their careers. And no one has found out until now Of course, they can have various reasons, but there is one thing that they can’t understand, that is, if they succeed in their career, don’t they need to live under a pseudonym?” Totsukawa said. "So what do you think of these two points?" Kamei asked.

"Not yet." Totsukawa said helplessly. "Anyway, once you find Ryoko Nimura, all this will come to light!" Kamei comforted. "The bank that deposited 300,000 in Sichuan is the Shinjuku branch of Bank M?" Totsukawa asked in confirmation. "yes." "So, she is more likely to be in the Shinjuku area." Totsukawa said decisively. "Conversely, it can be considered as a place far away from Shinjuku, and she will deliberately spend time in Shinjuku to save money." Kamei said. "It's possible!" Totsukawa nodded quickly. — Then there are two possibilities. Totsukawa thought again. If she concealed her address, why did she deposit money at M Bank's Shinjuku branch?Generally speaking, it would be safer for her to go to several banks to deposit money into Chuanuchi's passbook. But she had been depositing money at a branch of the same bank for at least four years.Just this point, isn't it possible for the bank staff to memorize it?Although she always wears a pair of sunglasses. ——She will be so confident? Totsukawa was thinking about this reason. Did she have plastic surgery like some people?Because this photo is so different from Ryoko Nimura 11 years ago. —but there are fingerprints. She never wore gloves and filled out the documents herself. — Where does this confidence come from? There can only be one answer, she is not Ryoko Nimura!That's why she was so bold to deposit in the same bank. Totsukawa decided to try his best to find this person.He didn't think she would escape Tokyo. Because in the past eight years, she must have used this huge sum of money to achieve something. She's not going to give up this career and run away. Her capital is 300 million yen!I can't spend it all.Because she took advantage of her position to steal this huge sum of money, she didn't intend to squander it casually. Plus, even if she had a successful career, it wouldn't be a big business.Most of them are small shops run by individuals, and there may not be many employees. Totsukawa asked his subordinates to search according to his judgment. They first gradually expanded the scope of the search centered on Shinjuku.They got the cooperation of the Shinjuku Police Department and searched for it with the help of the local business association. But nothing. Toru Yoshida died in a car accident three years ago while driving alone, and no women were involved. But 11 years ago they were supposed to be together.Whether you are opening a shop or a company, you should call it "Yoshida". So the police searched for clues. They discovered a gem shop with the same pronunciation as "Yoshida", and it was opened 10 years ago, so they got wind of it and conducted a rigorous investigation. But the owner's name is not "Yoshida". This is a rather time-consuming investigation. On the afternoon of the fifth day, a detective found a shop in the Asagaya area.This is a fashion store with only seven employees. The name of the store is "YOSHIDA", which is pronounced "Yoshida" in Japanese. This shop specializing in the import of high-end clothing is booming, and it is said that its annual income is around 5 billion yen. The owner's name is Ayako Inoue.From the name it appears to be a woman. According to seven employees in the store, her name was "Yoshioka" in her thirties. However, she went to France and Italy three days ago for business negotiations and research on fashion trends in the world. Totsukawa checked her passport registration. A name emerged from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs material: Kyoko Yoshida. —Is it her? Totsukawa pondered over the name over and over again. So he and his men set up surveillance around her store and apartment. He is waiting patiently. He didn't know when the other party would return to China. If she found that she was being watched by the police after returning to China, then she might "go abroad" again and never come back again! Therefore, she must be arrested immediately upon her return to the country. At the same time, Totsukawa sternly warned the seven employees that they were absolutely not allowed to tell the female boss that the police had come by phone or other means. After she poisoned and killed Chuanuchi on the "Chen No. 3" train, she should be very sensitive to the police's movements. If she knew that the police had visited the store, she would never return to China. The clerk said she returned to China in about a week, but seven days passed.She still hasn't entered the country. And the store received two or three calls from overseas. "If she wants to ask about the situation, she must answer that everything is normal!" Totsukawa said to a female shop assistant who answered the phone. "And tell her that because of her absence, many regular customers miss her very much." Totsukawa added another sentence. If this plan is successful, she will return home quickly.
