Absurd hijack 西村京太郎 10950Words 2018-03-16
On the 29th, the weather around Cape Chao was fine, the wind was sunny, and the sea seemed calm. At about 10 am, a large salvage ship from Osaka Port arrived at the sea surface of the accident site. The special plane sent the family members of the deceased to the chartered boat early in the morning. The planes of the newspapers circled in the sky. The two patrol boats that were here the day before continued to monitor the wreckage 90 meters below the sea floor. Salvage operations did not start until after noon. Although the velocity of the surface layer of the sea is very slow, the velocity of the seabed is very fast, and the progress of the salvage operation is also very slow.

At this time, the accident investigation team organized by the government also arrived.They switched to the patrol boat and watched the aircraft on the monitor. The reporters who came with the investigative team were taking pictures and chatting with each other irresponsibly. "It seems that the cause of the accident was a malfunction of the airframe. Otherwise, the great people who bought Samsung would not have seemed so panicked." At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the right main wing of the aircraft was salvaged first. Families of the deceased are eagerly awaiting to see the remains.However, because the part of the fuselage that may contain the remains fell into the cracks on the seabed, the right main wing that was easily salvaged was the first to be salvaged.

The severe bending of the wing hoisted by a large salvage ship showed people the cruelty of the accident. "Like an explosion." Someone in the investigation team whispered. The aircraft is very strong, and even if it falls into the sea, the main wings will not be twisted, so all members of the investigation team agree that the body has been split in the air. Then, at last, the recovery of the remains began. After a short rest, the five divers dived to the seabed at a depth of 90 meters. There is a huge cave in the upper part of the body. The thick plane alloy curled outward, which only happens when the body is subjected to some kind of powerful force.

The divers who entered the body were surprised to find several corpses with mutilated limbs. The corpses on the other seats were not damaged, only the corpses near the cave were damaged. Now it can only be considered that some kind of explosion inside the fuselage caused the Samsung to fall. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the phone at the prime minister's residence rang again. At the same time that Secretary Watanabe picked up the phone, the tape recorder started to turn on, and the reverse detection device also started to work. "I'm 'Blue Lion'." It was the voice of a young woman.

Watanabe asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" "Because of the prime minister's stupidity and the government's obsession, we had to kill the hostages again." "when and where?" "There are 196 people on the surface near Cape Chao. It's your obsession that killed them." "196 people—so it was yesterday's plane accident?" "right." "You did it? What evidence is there?" "We are using plastic bombs. Believe it or not, you will understand as long as you salvage the body and investigate."

"You killed another 196 people?" "Our request is the same as before. We will hold a press conference tomorrow morning, agreeing that the Prime Minister will convert the defense budget of 500 billion yen into welfare, or temporarily raise 50 billion yen from the financial sector and hand it over to us as 120 million hostages. ransom. If refused, more hostages will die.” The woman's voice was chillingly calm.When it comes to the death of 196 people, it seems nothing happened. "Hey, hello—" Watanabe looked downcast.The other party hung up the phone with a "click".

The Yabe Police Department roared palely: "How about inverse detection?" "I just know it's from somewhere other than Tokyo, the same as before." Yabe and Watanabe looked at each other. "They really did the plane accident yesterday?" Watanabe asked Yabe in a hoarse voice. "Probably." "How to do it?" "May I ask the Prime Minister for a favor?" "Is it about acting again?" "Yes. As I said, this incident is peculiar in its form, but one thing has not changed, and that is that it is a hijacking incident. The decisive moment in resolving the hijacking incident is the handover of the ransom. So, the prime minister can Pretending to accept their request, answering on the phone that they raised funds from the financial world, even if you show the money to the other party, it doesn’t matter. When they come to withdraw money, they will definitely be arrested.”

"What if they ask the Prime Minister himself to bring the money?" "It's easy to handle. It can be said that the Prime Minister is busy holding a cabinet meeting and cannot go. You or I can pretend to be a secretary and bring the money. Please create a chance for us to arrest criminals!" "Can't I go and act?" "No. They asked the Prime Minister to hold a press conference. If the Prime Minister does not appear, they will never believe it." "No, no!" "why?" Yabe unknowingly amplified his voice, and Watanabe's answer also became louder.Neither of them was angry at the other, but they were bothered by the fact that the case continued to expand and became more and more difficult to solve.

"The prime minister is very reserved, and some in the party have already criticized him for being cautious. Holding a press conference, even if it is a play, and letting people see the prime minister submit to the 'Blue Lion' gang of scoundrels, will inevitably lead to a movement to remove the prime minister." "However, once the incident is resolved, when people know that it was a gimmick that saved many lives, the prime minister will be thanked and loved by the nation." "After the prime minister was deprived of the position of president by the people, it is useless even if he is thanked by the people. Then can't the police think of a way? Now the plane also exploded and killed 196 people, but there is not even a shadow of a criminal. catch!"

"Yes. We immediately sent people to the explosion site and Fukuoka Airport. But this incident is completely different from the explosion for the purpose of coveting insurance money. We are purging radicals, but these people have nothing to do with radicals." Yabe Said wearily. So far, he has been led by the criminals. Not only did he fail to find out the outline of the criminal, but even the next move of the criminal is unpredictable, which made Yabe feel dizzy. It can be expected that next time they will kill what they call "hostages" somewhere.The difference from the previous ones is only the difference in the number of people.

This time they blew up the passenger plane and killed 196 hostages. Did they wantonly kill a large number of people because they did not agree to their request, or did they premeditate from the beginning? Yabe returned to the search headquarters and immediately sent two criminal police officers to Shiomisaki, the scene of the Samsung crash, and two more to Fukuoka, where the accident plane originated. The criminal police dispatched to Sapporo contacted the headquarters on time, but the case was fruitless, and there was still no witness to the criminal who shot the "hostage" Koichi Iwata.In order to understand the source of the guns, with the assistance of the Hokkaido police, the violent gangs in Sapporo were investigated, but no results were obtained.From this, Yabe concluded: "Blue Lion" has nothing to do with violent gangs or leftist forces. "But who were they made of?" He didn't know. Is it a madman group?At first, when they thought that the opponent was not a murderer, they thought it was the only hope, but this time they killed 196 people at once, so it seems that the criminal may be a murderer.If it is a murderous group, I don't know what terrorist activities they will create in the future! On the morning of the 30th, the two criminal police dispatched to Fukuoka Airport finally sent back the news that a clue of a bomber was found. At this point, the commander's decision is controlling the situation. Yabe decides to go to Fukuoka himself.He entrusted other matters to the head of the search department, and departed for Fukuoka on the same Nippon Airways flight at 9:05 am. Since the accident had just happened, the cabin was very deserted. The stewardess handed out "Apologize" pamphlets to passengers. Yabe unfolded the morning paper he bought at the airport.The morning paper is like an accident special. Pages 1, 13, and 14 are all about the Samsung accident. On the page, there are photos of the main wing on the right salvaged from the sea, mixed with irritating words such as "a terrible tragedy!" Yabe looked at the names of the dead passengers and found that there were five foreigners among them.It appears that the criminals are indeed following their plan.The five foreigners are: One U.S. embassy official (counselor) a west german trader two filipino musicians One student from Canada Fortunately, there are no important people among these people.Although there is no distinction between life and importance, the influence is different. However, when Yabe turned his attention to the name of the Japanese passenger, he was surprised. He found the words "Sonezaki Yusuke (65 years old)" in it. Sonezaki is an important figure in the economic world and a former Minister of International Trade and Industry.Now he has a decisive force in both economic and political circles. There are also two artists among the famous ones. Ishishi Yukiko (Singer) Kadi Bangya (television actor) Shizhi Yukiko is a singer with many fans, and Kadibang is only 25 years old, very young, and is a popular TV actor, especially enthusiastically loved by many young girls. The deaths of these two men had a big impact on Art Weekly and Women's Weekly.It goes without saying that singers and actors give "feel scary" talk in weekly magazines and on TV.Yabe seems to have seen the newspapers full of language such as "Actors are terrified by terror" and "Singers trembling: 'We may also end up in the same end'". If the purpose of criminals is to spread terror in Japan, bombing planes is the most effective. The plane arrived at Fukuoka Airport, where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, 15 or 16 minutes later than the scheduled time of 10:42 am. The names of the passengers who died on Flight 417 are also posted here. Two detectives, Yamashita and Kuroda, who were dispatched to Fukuoka earlier, welcomed Yabe at the airport. Yabe planned to talk to the two subordinates before going to the Fukuoka office, so he invited the two subordinates to the hotel at the airport. After ordering coffee, he said: "I want to hear what you have learned." "Not sure yet, but," the short, pragmatic detective Yamashita said cautiously first, "what caught our attention was a woman who gave singer Yukiko Ishizaki a homemade cake when Flight 417 departed." "That means the plastic bomb is hidden in that cake?" "This is just our speculation. Of course, it is also possible that other passengers contained plastic bombs in their carry-on luggage. However, since the person who called the prime minister's residence was a woman, it may be related to this woman." "Has anyone seen this woman?" "Fortunately, 15 fans came to the airport to see Ishizaki off. They met this woman." "Then what kind of woman is she?" "Aged thirty-two or three-year-old. She is small in stature and has a not-so-beautiful face. However, she seems to have caught a cold, and she is wearing a big mask, so the features of her face can't be seen clearly." "Masks are supposed to cover the face, right?" "The clothes are also outdated. I heard that she wears a brown dress." "Like a longhouse proprietress." "Yes!" Detective Yamashita laughed, and handed Yabe the montage photos made based on the testimony of 15 people. This is a thirty-two or three-year-old woman with a hanging Buddha. Because she was wearing a large white mask, the corners of the mouth and around the nose could not be seen clearly. With thin eyes and light eyebrows, she was a cold middle-aged woman. "Then why did this woman give the cake to Ishizaki Yukiko?" "I heard that day happened to be Ishizaki Yukiko's 59th birthday." Detective Kuroda replied on his behalf. "Really? I can't tell that she is 59 years old. It seems that women are very good at dressing themselves!" "Also, I heard that the big cake this woman gave Ishizaki Yukiko was a handmade cake." "Handmade cakes?" If it is really a plastic bomb, then it is a model of black humor, Yabe thought so. While drinking his coffee, Yabe glanced at the montage photos again. "We can't get in touch anyway." "Where?" "I heard that woman call. From the voice and tone of that woman, I felt a very sensitive woman, but the woman in this photo came across as dull." "You mean it's someone else entirely?" "No, that's not what I mean. If the woman is a criminal, then she may have dressed that way on purpose. If she wanted to be prettier, she could be otherwise. Or the criminal is someone else, this woman It's just being used." "Once a woman puts on makeup, the changes are considerable." "So how did people react to the photo?" "Everyone took this photo to the airport for people to see. The strange thing is that no one said they had seen her!" Yamashita sighed softly. "Do the 15 people who helped make this photo think they look like it?" "They all said they looked alike." "That's strange. This face is quite eye-catching. It's rare to see a bun now, and this big mask is also particularly eye-catching." "We also think that some of the airport staff and taxi drivers must have seen this woman, but no one has seen this woman." Criminal Kuroda said helplessly. Yabe encouraged: "Don't be discouraged! I'm afraid it's like this: After delivering the cake, this woman hid in the dressing room again, and she must have dressed up there again. For example, the women's suit can be changed to a more beautiful one. You can also take off the mask, draw thicker eyebrows, and wear a hat on your head. Then draw the eyes a little bigger, so that you can completely become another person.” "So the photo becomes useful. Not only is it useful, but it's a bait for criminals." "Not only that, it seems that the criminal appeared in this way at that time. This is also a harvest. In short, the criminal came here on March 28." Yabe comforted the two of them.Of course, this is also encouraging yourself.Yabe himself made a special trip to Fukuoka to find a breakthrough in this incident no matter what, he swore in his heart. "But what about the plastic bomb?" Detective Yamashita scratched his head and asked Yabe.This is not without reason.Radicals generally use ordinary time bombs and Molotov cocktails, but never plastic bombs. Yabe took out the notepad. "I don't understand either. Before I came here, I called the scientific research department. They said that the latest plastic bomb is produced in the United States. It is called C4, which means structure 4. The structure refers to the composition or composition, and also That is to say, this bomb is composed of 4 components and its color is white." "What are its ingredients?" "Liusujing RDx91%; polybutene 2.1%; light oil 0.1%; other mixtures about 5%. I don't know what these substances are except for light oil. But no matter what shape, the plastic bomb is It is white clay and can be made into plates or vases, so it is hard to find. It was used in guerrilla warfare during the Vietnam War.” "Can it also be made into a cake shape?" "This is natural. But C4 itself will not explode, there must be a detonating device, that is, a detonator. Now we find that criminals used Fukuoka Airport as a crime scene." "This means that--" "If you do some research, you will be surprised to find that there are many gunpowder factories in Fukuoka. Japan's three major gunpowder manufacturing companies have established their own factories in Fukuoka. It goes without saying that these factories also produce detonators. That is to say, there are many gunpowder factories in Fukuoka. Easy to get detonators." "Hurry up and contact the local police to visit the gunpowder factory?" "Is there any other reason why the criminal chose Fukuoka as the location of the crime?" Yamashita detective asked. Yabe lit another cigarette and said: "I think there are two other points. First, they want to show that their accomplices are all over the country. Therefore, the threatening phone calls are also replaced by women. Second, they also take advantage of the characteristics of the police. They are not good at conducting extensive searches. The police will not act unless there is a case. Between Tokyo and Sapporo, there is no coordinated search of the headquarters, and of course the police will not search in Kyushu, which is far away from the crime scene. They took advantage of this loophole.” "So, next time they will attack the Shinkansen around Osaka?" Criminal Kuroda blurted out.Yabe said excitedly: "It can't be like this! Before the criminals kill the next batch of hostages, they must be caught. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they must never be allowed to blow up planes and Shinkansen. If their plots succeed, the prestige of the police will be destroyed." Lost all." The Yabe police department rushed to Fukuoka from Tokyo to make the Fukuoka prefectural police realize the seriousness of the situation again. It goes without saying that it was decided to conduct a coordinated search.This time, almost all the criminal police from the No. 1 Search Section of the County Police Station were mobilized to conduct a thorough investigation of all seven gunpowder factories in the county.They checked the books and objects of the detonators one by one, and also counted and verified the number of detonators discarded as defective products.No report of the missing detonator seems to have been sent to Yabe, who is based at the prefectural police headquarters. Did the criminal steal the detonator from a gunpowder factory in another county? The Fukuoka Prefectural Police Department sent letters to other prefectural police stations requesting assistance in the investigation. Yabe visited the largest N gunpowder KK factory in Fukuoka Prefecture and asked the factory manager about the situation. "Is there any other way for a person to get a detonator besides stealing it from a factory?" Yabe asked. The factory manager is a technician who has worked in this industry for 30 years. After thinking for a while, he said: "Our factory makes detonators for industrial use. Of course, they are sold to construction companies, so detonators can also be stolen from construction sites." Yabe looked at the real thing.This kind of detonator is made by filling a small steel pipe with a length of about 35 mm and a diameter of 7.5 mm with detonating mercury (mercury fulminate) and a booster. "Can individuals buy it?" "No. All buyers are certain." "Can this kind of detonator be made by an individual?" "Is this—" the factory manager was very cautious, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's probably not good for laymen. If you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself." "What about the people who used to work here?" "Maybe it can be made. But it's hard to make without the parts. And if you're going to install an electric ignition, you'll have to have those parts too." "What do you mean by electrical ignition?" "It's common to connect a fuse to the detonator and then ignite it, but when using electricity, you can also install an electrical ignition device on the detonator. This kind of detonator is called an electric detonator." Yabe decides to investigate the construction company that bought the detonators.But the construction company has not lost the detonator. In Kyushu, not a single detonator was lost. At the Hakone Villa, the Prime Minister listened to a telephone report from Secretary Watanabe from Tokyo. "I just received a report from the scene of the accident. The report said that someone obviously brought a bomb into the cabin." Watanabe's tone was very melancholy. "So the woman who called the 'Blue Lion' was telling the truth?" said the Prime Minister wearily. "Yes. It goes without saying, and it cannot be denied that someone else blew up flight 417 in order to covet a passenger's insurance money." "The police haven't found any clues about the 'Blue Lions'?" "Not so far. The Yabe Police Department flew to Fukuoka to investigate." "I heard Sonezaki-kun was among the victims of Samsung." "Yes. Are you sending a condolence telegram to his family in the name of the Prime Minister?" "No, I'll just hang up. You can express your condolences to the American embassy official in my name." "Understood." "How many people know that the Samsung accident was caused by 'Blue Lion'?" "The Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice, and the Chairman of the National Public Security Commission have listened to the tape. Of course, the criminal police who searched the headquarters also know it." "The Secretary of State for Transport is supposed to be on the scene overseeing the salvage operation by now. Have you heard the tape?" "No. We didn't think we could give the Secretary of State for Transport and the Accident Investigation Team a prejudgment, so we didn't tell them. Is that all right?" "Oh! For now!" "How is Deputy Prime Minister Ihara? Let him know first?" "It's better not to inform him for the time being. When I answered the call from 'Blue Lion', they were overjoyed. The same is true of his colleagues. I want to rest here for two or three days. I hope that when I call again, I can say Good news for the arrest of the scumbags 'Blue Lion'." "What if they call again?" "Isn't that obvious? I'm the Prime Minister, and I can't give in to any threats. If the bastards like 'Blue Lion' know that I will never compromise, they will definitely get bored and give up. You should also let your opponent understand this. " The Prime Minister hung up the phone harshly.Slow-moving cops and "blue lions" confuse him. Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi watched the news of the All Nippon Airways accident on TV in the office on the 36th floor. Yabe told them on the phone that the accident was caused by "Blue Lion". "It's too cruel!" Shi Zi frowned.The names of the 196 dead were repeated on television. "Cruel indeed. But for the 'blue lions' it's just going according to plan." "But I don't know why?" "what?" "The more people die, the tougher the government will be. Another 196 people were killed. If the money is paid to criminals, this kind of government must be condemned by the people! Moreover, no matter how much the budget is, the prime minister cannot control it. So it is impossible to get the ransom. But why did the 'blue lions' kill people in large numbers? It's really hard to figure out!" "True. But they are geniuses, and probably have plans we're not aware of, or they wouldn't have killed so many people." But what is the plan?I don't know the left text either. Zuo Wenwen thought of the faces of Sugawara Minghei and Mori Oathko that he saw the day before yesterday.They are still very young, could it be that the two of them and three other people created this ANA plane accident together? When the evening issue arrived, Zuo Wenwen sat down on the swivel chair and began to browse.Pages 1 and 3 are all about the ANA plane accident.Due to the tight blockade by the police and the Prime Minister's secretary, there was no news about the "Blue Lions". I was reading the left text of the third edition and suddenly said "ah". "What's the matter?" Shi Zi asked.Zuo Wenzi handed over the unfolded newspaper and said, "Read it." His face was pale. Shi Zi scratched his head while browsing the newspaper. "Young Geniuses Commit Suicide in Izu" "Ah?" Shi Zi also yelled, and hurriedly read. Shi Zi put down the newspaper and looked at Zuo Wenwen silently. "I understand." Zuo Wenwen said gloomily, "We were wrong. Those two people made us drink medicine and fall asleep so that we would not hinder their suicide activities." "Have you hit a wall?" "No!" Zuo Wenwen shook his head and said. "but--" "Go to the Japan Elite Education Center to have a look." As Zuo Wenwen said that, he stood up from the swivel chair. "However, we were wrong!" "That's right. However, the use of such a strange method of hijacking all Japanese citizens is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And judging from the language used by the criminals on the phone, the 'Blue Lions' can only be geniuses who have suffered setbacks." us." "However, there are only two organizations that work together after graduating from University of U!" "So, this time, let's investigate the people who didn't form a group." Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi came to the Japan Elite Education Center again and met with Director Yananuma. First of all, Director Yananuma felt sad for the five people who committed suicide. He blinked and said, "Those five people have twice the pure spirit of ordinary people, so they feel a deep sense of despair." The two looked at the cards one by one.In it they intended to discover the thwarted genius. The director of M Heavy Industries Production Research Institute and others must be very satisfied with their current jobs. The professor of philosophy at T University is also very good. There are also many lecturers abroad. There are also several familiar names in Zuowen. As expected of some geniuses with an IQ above 140, the resumes recorded on the cards are also very dazzling. But there are also some resume columns that are completely blank. "What's going on here?" Zuo Wenwen asked Liu Zhao. "I didn't get a job anywhere after graduation." "Can we talk?" "Actually, something happened to this person after graduation, which is a criminal case." "And went to jail for that?" "yes." "What case is it?" "Murder. A girl he likes, of course she also likes him, but she married an ordinary employee. Since he has twice the self-esteem of ordinary people, he can't stand it." "Killed her in the end?" "No, kill that man." "Indeed, he, with his genius mind, probably couldn't bear to lose to a man who was dumber than himself. So he went to prison, and he is still to this day." "No, he was still at U University at that time, and he was defended by an excellent defense lawyer who graduated from a special class, so he was fortunately sentenced to a relatively light sentence and served eight years. He should have been released four years ago." "Is the previous address unknown?" "Well, I don't know where I live or what I'm doing now." "This is a noteworthy person." Shi Zi wrote down his name. Hideo Makino (35 years old). His address and current occupation are unknown.There is a photo on the card, but it was taken 12 years ago when I graduated from U of U. Back then his future was still rosy and bright, so he looked straight ahead with a twinkle in his eye.He has a broad forehead, and his face gives the impression of a talented scholar.After serving an eight-year sentence four years ago, is he still this brilliant face? A second noteworthy figure was found among nearly a hundred cards. This time it's a woman. Futaba Zhuojiang (29 years old). This is her name. He specialized in chemistry at the University of U, and later entered graduate school. He obtained a doctorate at the age of 26. However, the subsequent resume is not very glorious. Married at 27. Divorced at the age of 28.At the same time, he was admitted to Songjiang Mental Hospital. Discharged at the age of 29.His subsequent whereabouts are unknown. "I met her in graduate school," Yananuma said heavily. "What kind of woman is it?" Shizi has a strong interest in the same sex, and asked Yanuma while reading the card. "There are generally very few women at U, and very few women are blamed. In theory, she is a very thoughtful girl, but for her this is a tragedy." "How to say?" "Perhaps she will be very happy if she continues to be celibate and eager to learn." "But she's in love, married?" "Hmm. The card doesn't have the other's name. He's a technician at a large electrical factory, though. Unfortunately, the man is a layman. She's fascinated by a layman. There's a picture of her in the card, and even a compliment won't do it Call it a beauty, but intellectually she is an amazing woman. Husband should have full respect for her intellect, but he is stupid enough to force her to be a lovely woman, a submissive woman, what does the husband say about her She had to do what she had to do. She also tried her best to adapt to her husband, but the twisted melon was not sweet. It was impossible for such an intelligent woman to become a dull housewife. So she suffered from neurasthenia, Divorced. This is entirely caused by the man. In the end she had to end up in a mental hospital, which is really pitiful." "Are you out of the hospital now?" "I heard that she has been discharged from the hospital. I don't know what happened to her. Such an outstanding and talented girl was buried. What a pity!" The situation of the third person is a bit more complicated than the first two. Kushida Junichiro (34 years old). Graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of U University. After passing the national examination, he worked as a surgeon in Chengbei Hospital. Later, he went to work alone at the K Island Clinic in the Seto Inland Sea. At first glance there seems to be nothing wrong with this person.But why should a person who works in a hospital go to a clinic on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea?This Jane can really be called a beautiful story.But Shizi thought there was a reason for it, and she said: "The latest TV special report reported the situation in K Island. It was reported that the doctor from Tokyo slipped away without even saying hello. It used to be a village without doctors, but now the situation there is even worse Too bad." "What's the name of that doctor?" Left text asked.Shi Zi thought for a moment and said: "It seems to be Dr. Kushida, and he said he specializes in internal medicine and surgery. But he is a weirdo, and he often leaves patients to go fishing in the sea. The village chief said that the villagers are eager to have doctors come to work in the village without doctors." If this is the case, then this doctor named Kushida did not go to the small island in the Seto Inland Sea with a mission. Zuo Wenwen pointed to the card and asked Liu Nuo, "Do you know the reason why this person resigned from Chengbei Hospital?" "I think he has a noble sense of justice, abandoned the superior environment, and went to K Island with a sincere heart to relieve the distress of the unmedical village." "Have you seen Dr. Kushida?" "I only saw him once, when I sent him to K Island to take up his post." "What's your impression of him?" "It was December and it was very cold. He gave me the impression of a neurotic young man." Apart from these three people, Zuo Wenwen did not find any other suspicious persons. After thanking Director Yananuma, they left the Elite Education Center.In order to learn more about Kushita Junichiro's situation, the two took a taxi to Chengbei Hospital. The driver said: "There's been a terrible accident!" he said, turning on the radio. The announcer is broadcasting news about the plane accident. After first broadcasting the names of the passengers who died, he said in an excited tone: "The salvage of the fuselage from the sea is expected to start tomorrow morning. After checking the damaged state of the fuselage taken underwater, several experts believe that the crash was caused by an explosion." "The purpose of bombing the plane was obviously for insurance money." The driver said to Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi. "Yeah, that's what happened." But Zuo Wenwen was thinking about another thing at the same time.Why did they kill two people first and then one person so quickly entered a mass killing situation?He couldn't figure it out.While thinking hard, the car had already arrived at Chengbei Hospital. This is a general hospital with five floors. It was already past the outpatient hours, but Zuo Wenwen met with the director of the office of the hospital under the name of Watanabe, Secretary to the Prime Minister. The director of the hospital office has worked in this hospital for more than 20 years.When Zuo Wenwen mentioned Kushida Junichiro's name, his face showed a look of vigilance. It seems that this hospital is a bit taboo to mention Tian Fanichiro's name. "Can you tell us why Kushida resigned from this hospital?" Zuo Wenwen followed closely and asked. "He went to a remote village without doctors." "That's just a superficial reason. I want to find out the real reason for Dr. Kushida's resignation." "Kushida went to the K Island Clinic in the Seto Inland Sea." "I know. But that's no excuse!" "That's right! He wants to experience the medical-free village on K Island." The director wanted to let it go, but the more the other party said that, the more Zuo Ziwen felt that there was something secret about Dr. Kushida's past. "Let me say, Mr. Director," Zuo Wenwen stared at the other person's face, "Kushida may be involved in a very bad case, a murder case." "Murder? Really?" the director said in shock.Rather than saying that he was surprised when he heard the word "murder", it would be better to say that the word "murder" has something to do with Dr. Kushita's past. "Really." Zuo Wenwen emphasized, "In order to prevent the occurrence of murders, we must understand Dr. Kushida. Otherwise, the situation will very likely turn into mass murders. I hope you can cooperate with us." "..." The director was lost in thought.There was silence for five or six minutes. "I hope to keep it secret for us." The director said seriously. "Naturally. We are acting on the Prime Minister's instructions, so the circumstances you speak of will be kept in absolute secrecy." "Don't tell outsiders the name of our hospital." "Absolutely not." "Actually—" the director shrugged and said, "Mr. Kushida is very weird. He has a brilliant mind and superb medical skills, but he has strange ideas." "Strange means—" "This refers to the often outdated way of thinking about being a good physician. He said that you can do anything for the advancement of medicine—" "Does it mean that the end can be used by any means?" "Yes. He said it's okay to kill two or three people in order to save five hundred patients. That's a dangerous way of thinking." "Japanese doctors also used this theory when dissecting living people in China." Physicians from the Japanese Unit 731 once performed vivisections on Chinese in China, and several of them are still active in the medical profession, but their only excuse is for the advancement of medicine. "Has Kushida ever performed a surgery similar to vivisection?" "Late at night in mid-October last year, a young man who was on the verge of death due to a traffic accident was sent to our hospital by ambulance. The young man had a fractured skull and was still alive. At that time, only the doctor Kushida and one nurse were here." "Surgery immediately?" "Kushida sent the patient to the radiation therapy room." "Radiation therapy room? That's the way to treat cancer and tumors with radiation. What do you send patients who have to undergo surgery to that place?" "In radiation therapy, the most difficult thing is that it is difficult to determine how much radiation to use and how long to take it, and radiation can damage normal skin and organs, so it is both difficult and dangerous. Kushida later explained that he was trying to figure out This limit." "..." "Although this young man is a patient on the verge of death, his liver and other organs are healthy. Kushida used a linear accelerator to irradiate the patient's liver with strong X-rays for a long time until the liver turned red and festered. Kushida measured the radiation. time and intensity of X-rays." “直到器官完全被X线破坏为止?” "right." “那么,这不是杀人吗?” “用串田的话来说,这个青年已经绝对没有救了,但是通过自己的实验却取得了有关放射线治疗的宝贵数据,所以他认为自己是正确的。” “那么是怎么对死者家属解释的呢?” “当然,诊断书上写的是因脑内出血而死亡。” “然而他并不是死于脑内出血,而是因为肝脏受到强X线的照射才死亡的吗?” “这个只有串田先生知道。” “所以就让他辞去了这儿的职务?” “当时和他一起值班的护士把这件事泄漏给了她的好友,一个杂志记者。不用说,对方因为无事实根据没有进行报道。但是院长很担心,于是就让串田暂时到濑户内海K岛诊疗所去度过一段悠闲的时间去了。但是他也没有事先通知我们一声就突然不见了。大家都在为他担心。” “串田医师没有对自己的行为进行反省吗?” “刚才已经说过,他是个别具一格的人。他认为自己为医学界作出了有贡献的实验,然而却不知为什么要遭到人们的谴责。他对此非常恼火。” “那么,串田医生现在什么地方、正在干什么,一点儿消息也没有吗?” “没有,因此我们也不好交待。跟K岛诊所签了两年约,然而才刚刚四个月人就不见了。” “串田医生有家属吗?” “他的双亲和弟弟在广岛,但是听说他跟他们也没有什么联系。”
