Chapter 6 Chapter Six Eight Audio Tapes

It has been three days since the Samsung accident.The pages of newspapers on March 31 were still filled with reports of the accident. Except for a part of the tail fin that was washed away by the tide, the body that sank to the bottom of the sea was salvaged. All 196 remains were also recovered. The accident investigation team concluded that: Based on the state of damage to the body and remains, the crash was most likely caused by an explosion, which occurred near the main wing. Once this explosive news was released, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the public opinion circle. "World of Horror"

"Crazy Times" Such rhetoric flooded newspapers and television for a while. The ambiguous attitude of the police has further aroused people's uneasiness. After the accident investigation team announced that the incident might be a man-made explosion, the police should have been dispatched immediately, but why did the police authorities ignore the accident investigation team's clear findings? In fact, the search had already started, but the attitude seemed a bit ambiguous because of the fear of the hijacking incident causing people's uneasiness. Unknowingly, the police authorities themselves, on the other hand, linked this chain of events with the hijacking.

The deadline for evening papers is generally around 2:00 pm. At 1:00 p.m., the Central News Agency Department at Yaesukou, Tokyo received a small package.The package is about half the size of a handbag.The outside of the package was wrapped in brown paper, and printed words cut out from newspapers were pasted on it: "Received by the Central News and Social Department" The printed words are also affixed to the place where the sender signed: "Blue Lion" The editor-in-chief of the social department and the reporters looked at the package in front of them and felt anxious, because it was after the flight accident, and they heard that the accident seemed to be caused by a bomb, and they had written a lot about it in the newspapers for the past few days. Special words such as "uneasy" and "horror".

"Could it be a ticking time bomb?" The editor-in-chief spoke seriously to the surrounding reporters. "There is no ticking, ticking sound, isn't it a time bomb?" A young reporter put his ear to the package and listened. "How did this package get delivered? There is no postage stamp, who sent it to the mail room?" the editor-in-chief asked, looking at everyone's faces. "The girl in the mailroom said she didn't know when it was put there." "I don't know? Sending and receiving is too irresponsible." "It can't be blamed on them. Three people send and receive, and all kinds of people come and go. They don't remember who put it in the mail room!"

"Why don't you open it and see?" said the editor-in-chief. "It doesn't matter! 'Blue Lion' is like the name of a radical. We have strongly condemned the actions of radicals." "We have criticized activists. If anyone is afraid, stay away." The editor-in-chief took out the scissors from the drawer, cut off the rope binding the package, and opened the package. None of the reporters avoided them, they all stared at the package.There is a plastic box wrapped in kraft paper, and there is a sticker on the corner of the plastic box that has removed the price mark.It appears to be purchased from the market.

When opening the cover, the editor-in-chief consciously avoided the body.However, the plastic box did not explode, nor did a mouse jump out of it. It contained eight cassettes. The tapes are numbered from ① to ⑧.Nothing like letters and photographs was found. "Looks like I have to listen to it in order!" The editor-in-chief picked up tape No. ①. "It's just a prank. It's the voice from that time again!" "That would be fun!" The editor-in-chief asked someone to bring a tape recorder, and decided to start listening to tape ①. A calm man's voice came from the tape recorder.The voice was particularly high-pitched and of good quality, but it was not the nature of the voice that surprised the reporters, but the content of the speech.

——Reporters, everything I have stated is completely true, as evidenced by tapes No. ② to No. ⑦.If you admit it is true, please continue to listen to tape No. 8. I, rightly, should be us.Our numbers are not disclosed here. We kidnapped 120 million Japanese nationals on March 21, including foreigners in Japan. Maybe you will laugh at the absurdity of our declaration, but please think about it seriously! From the moment we announced the hijacking, the safety of the 120 million hostages was already in our hands.A mere 200,000 police officers cannot protect 120 million hostages.Even if the Self-Defense Forces are mobilized, since they don't know which one of the 120 million hostages we are going to attack, they will just panic and be at a loss.Facts have proved how weak and incompetent the 200,000 policemen and the Self-Defense Forces, which invest 500 billion yen in huge sums of money every year, appear in front of us.

Even so, the Prime Minister and his entourage, who are fully responsible for the country, refused to comply with our request, and just evaded it blindly and irresponsibly. In this way, we had no choice but to kill the hostages.For us, this is a sad and sad thing.But they still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation from this conclusive hijacking incident, and they forced us to kill the hostages.The process will be clear after you listen to tapes ② to ⑦. Then, please listen to tape No. 7 starting from No. ②.And our request and our proposition can listen to tape No. 8. In addition, the Prime Minister's voice on the tape is his own. If there is any doubt, voiceprint and other scientific identification can be carried out.

Until now, the editor-in-chief and reporters were still skeptical, and many people thought it was a prank.Claiming to have hijacked all the Japanese people cannot help but make people think that there is something wrong with their brains. But anyway, listen to the other tapes in order. Every time the tape is changed, the eyes of the reporters are obviously different. However, after listening to the phone call about the Samsung accident on tape No. 7, their expressions matched. "Stop dawdling!" the editor-in-chief roared. "One person called Secretary Watanabe of the Prime Minister's residence to confirm the facts, and the other person saw if the police could come to investigate. The others listened to the last tape together."

One reporter flew to make a phone call, and the other also flew out of the room.The rest of the people gathered around the editor-in-chief and listened to tape No. 8. The man's voice on tape No. 8 is the same as that on tape No. ①, and it is still wonderfully high-pitched. ——How do you feel after listening to tapes ② to ⑦? You should be shocked, so you should understand that we are not talking nonsense. Maybe you want to check with the secretary or ask the police to investigate.But the secretary and the people around the prime minister will be vague, and the police will say that they will not investigate.Because they only care about themselves and are afraid of disturbing the public, they want to solve this important hijacking case secretly.

However, can they solve it? This hijacking case is different from ordinary hijacking. As mentioned above, there are too many hostages, and neither the police nor the Self-Defense Forces can protect them.They also began to notice, but worried about their prestige.Also, continue to firmly reject our request, in this case, we must kill the hostages.These unlucky hostages may be you who are listening to this recording. We are surrounded by hostages, and there is no choice.Random shooting in the dark can kill a hostage. This importance is still not understood by the authorities.Out of dignity, they had the illusion that they could protect 120 million hostages by themselves.No, it's hard to believe they were able to protect the hostages. They are incapable of protection.They are weak.No matter how advanced weapons they have, no matter how huge budgets they have, they can't even protect a single hostage. This is the harsh truth.However, they are still rejecting our demands and not paying the ransom. Why?Because they are worried that if the ransom is paid according to our requirements, won't their own authority collapse with a "wow"?They themselves fear being ousted for incompetence. However, it doesn't help how their stupidity is exposed. In defiance of the authorities headed by the powerless Prime Minister, we decided to give the hostages themselves a chance to save their lives. For this reason, I will send these eight tapes to your company, hoping to publish them publicly. We decided to give the 120 million hostages two ways. First, each person pays us a ransom of 5,000 yen. If you buy security with a ransom of 5,000 yen, you will be freed from the hostage situation.You can remit 5,000 yen to the ordinary deposit account 072928 "Tokutaro Migami" in Huidong Branch of M Bank.15,000 yen for a family of three.A beautiful cloth peace badge is presented upon receipt of payment.Wearing it on our chest, we will keep him safe as a freed hostage who has paid his ransom. Second, people who don't want to pay the ransom can protect themselves.The Japanese who have forgotten to protect themselves should train well. However, we show no mercy to those who refuse to pay the ransom!Whether it's walking, riding in a car or flying, it's better to pay more attention. Journalists! There is no point in consulting the authorities about releasing these tapes, so please excuse me!Because there is nothing they can do. We do not hesitate to pay the ransom, maybe tomorrow we will kill new hostages.Buy safe now! The editor-in-chief quickly came to the minister's room holding the tape.Due to the importance of the matter, I cannot make a decision by myself. The experienced minister was also dumbfounded by the editor-in-chief's report. "How did the police react to that?" "It seems that I must be anxious like ants on a hot pot. The recordings are all real." "The Prime Minister's voice is also real." "I think the report should be published, and this big news cannot be suppressed." "But this is a hijacking incident." "Minister, this is different from ordinary hijacking incidents. Ordinary hijacking incidents will endanger the safety of the hostages once they are made public, so the news should be suppressed. However, this hijacking incident can only be made public to ensure the safety of the hostages. Moreover, if the criminals put The same tapes were given to other newspapers, so we are the only newspaper that missed the boat." "How long is the deadline for the evening paper?" "Nine minutes left." "Okay. Put it on the front page. Use provocative language." "I've already thought about it. "The Unheard of Hijacking Incident Shocked the Japanese Archipelago!" How about it?" "Very good!" The Minister laughed loudly. Seems like an interesting event. The editor-in-chief returned to the room, ordered his subordinates to write the manuscript quickly, and then said to a reporter named Honma: "Go and investigate Mikami Tokutaro immediately." "Is this person probably a criminal?" The young Honma reporter's eyes sparkled. The editor-in-chief let out a "hmm", and then said: "I don't know. If he is a criminal, then this case will be closed soon. The case will end with the police arresting Mikami Tokutaro. However, listening to the tape shows that the 'Blue Lions' are very quick-witted, Cool-headed, well-planned and premeditated. The police can't catch them right away." "Then, is this Mikami Tokutaro an ordinary savings account in name?" "If it's empty, how do you send the badge to the remitter?" "Yeah, I don't know what's going on." "It's because you don't know that I asked you to investigate!" The editor-in-chief pushed the young reporter out of the door. Honma crossed the Sumida River and arrived at the Huidong branch of Bank M in Mukoshima. This is a large three-story bank surrounded by various small factories. Honma took out his diary and saw the branch president. "Is there a person named Mikami Tokutaro who has an ordinary savings account at this bank?" Honma asked. "The bank's policy is to keep confidentiality for customers." The president said. "I know this. I didn't ask him how much savings he has. That's the thing. Our company has business dealings with Sanshen. I'm here to investigate whether this person is reliable. How is it? Can you introduce me?" "The newspaper office does business with the Three Gods?" "Isn't the Three Gods making cloth badges?" "yes!" "We are holding an event recently and need badges, so we decided to order from Sanshen. I heard that Sanshen works with conscience." "Indeed, I understand. The home of the Sanshen, walk 150 meters to the right from the road in front of the door and there is an intersection. Walk along the narrow road for a while and you will be there. There is a piece of Sanshen Manufacturing Co. brand." Honma thanked him and walked along the road in front of the door.Drilling into a narrow alley and walking not far, there is a sign, which is a typical street factory.He rubbed the glass window with his hand, looked inside, and found that no one was working inside. The second floor of the factory is a residence, and the sign of "Three Gods" is written on the gate. There were trees planted in front of the door, and a small pool was built. Carps 20 to 30 centimeters long were swimming in the water, but no matter how much Honma shouted, no one answered inside. When Honma yelled again, the voice of "Three Gods are not at home" came from behind.Honma looked back and saw a bald old man standing behind him. "You are--" "I'm the car repairer next door. The Sanshen couple went on a trip a week ago. I'll be back tomorrow." "Where did you travel?" "It's so rare that I left without saying where I was going. But it's time to come back." "how do you know?" "He asked me to help water and feed the fish." The old man sat down in front of the pool and began to feed the carp. While admiring the carp happily chasing the bait, Honma asked, "What kind of person is Sanshen?" "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?" "I want to do some business with Sanshen, but I don't know his reputation." "This is no problem, there is no one who is more trustworthy than him." "How old is he?" "Same age as me, 65." "Going on a trip with your wife?" "Ah, they are such a good couple, they love each other very much!" "do you have any kid?" "I am getting old, and I only gave birth to a son in my 40s." "And what about the child?" "I ran away from home two years ago, and I don't know where I went. The couple were in great grief at the time, and they managed to get over it." "A child in his 40s, so his son is only in his 20s now?" "Twenty-two and three-year-old, a good boy. But the young man had a bad temper, and ran away and never came back. That's true." "yes!" "So how old are you?" Every evening newspaper that day published "horrific hijacking incident" on the front page. Sure enough, the "Blue Lions" sent the same tapes to various newspaper offices. Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi watched these reports while drinking coffee in "Etlands". One of Zuowen's tenets is that it is impossible for Ray to land in the same place twice.From a purely probabilistic point of view, this makes no sense at all, but beliefs are often a non-scientific thing.So he calmly added sugar to his coffee in this bar. "They finally got impatient and took the method of making the situation public." Shi Zidao.Zuo Wenwen shook his head and said, "No." "Why not?" "It's not impatient. This is what the 'Blue Lion' arranged from the beginning." "It was arranged from the beginning?" "right!" "However, didn't you call the Prime Minister's residence several times at the beginning? Did you say that it is okay to pay 500 billion yen or temporarily pay 50 billion yen? They saw that it was not enough, so they thought of getting a little bit from everyone. Do you want to search the ground!" "They are a genius group!" Zuo Wenwen shook his head, "They will never do things without planning. This incident was planned and premeditated from the very beginning. They demanded a defense budget of 500 billion yen or temporarily The 50 billion yen paid to the Conservative Party by the financial circles, I think it is absolutely impossible to ask for a random number. They calculated it from the beginning, that is to say, they knew from the beginning that the other party would not agree to their request of." "Why do you do that?" "A tape! They reported to the newspaper that 120 million people were hijacked and several hostages were killed. The newspaper would not believe it. Therefore, they first notified the prime minister of this wonderful hijacking incident by phone, and recorded the audio The prime minister's residence recorded the audio, but the criminals also recorded the audio. Then they killed two people, called again and recorded it, and very cleverly got the prime minister to answer the phone. According to the scheduled plan, the third mass murder was carried out, Then they called again. Secretary Watanabe answered the phone, and they recorded the audio again, that is to say, they repeated the recording many times to make the society realize their own existence and their own actions. In ordinary cases, criminals would Cover up their crimes, but they do the exact opposite. The 'Blue Lions' want to be seen as hijackers, mass murderers." "In this way, it can be successful?" "As long as there is a tape, the newspapers will have to believe it. And if the Prime Minister's speech is recorded, they can lose their original pretense and make real demands." "The ransom for one person is 5,000 yen!" "That's right. If it is simply calculated based on 120 million people, it will be 600 billion yen. Since the police and self-defense forces will never pay, so if they are converted into 20 million people, there will be 100 million people left, so it is 500 billion yen. That's exactly what they originally asked for." "But will people pay?" "They think they will pay. I have a great interest in whether the predictions of the geniuses are correct. Do people think that it is cheap to buy security for 5,000 yen?" "However, if you think about it carefully, their plan may not succeed. The method of paying the ransom of 5,000 yen per person is really too simple! If the police control that Mikami Tokutaro, then they will have nothing to do with it." Is there no other way? Isn’t it playing a child’s game?” "Ok." Zuo Wenwen raised his eyes, looked up at the ceiling for a moment and said: "I said that we must not take our enemies so lightly. We found three men and women who might be criminals in the Elite Education Center. However, we are not yet sure that they are criminals, and we don't know where they live." "The three of them must be criminals." "It's very possible. The IQs of the three people are all above 140, and there is another one with 165. Although I don't believe in omnipotent IQs, I believe that their minds must be very smart. And most importantly, one of the three people— Kushida Junichiro——is a doctor who has done vivisection. He is ruthless, and he can use any means for the purpose. Geniuses are often egoists. The three of them are ruthless and smart. Not only is it not superficial, They will not leave any clues, and they will never be arrested by the police all at once." "That's true, but—" "Because the most difficult thing in a hijacking incident is to hand over the ransom, the criminals have worked hard on this. Some asked to use the plane to put the money in a designated place, and some asked to send a stamp worth hundreds of millions of yen." "That is to say, dialing into the account under the name of Mikami Tokutaro is equivalent to paying ransom in ordinary hijacking!" "Yes. So they have to work on it." "However, no one can see what they have done! Isn't this Sanshen Tokutayo an accomplice of the criminals? There is nothing else to be seen in the trick of getting people to transfer the ransom money to his account. Aren't we going to meet Mikami Tokutaro? Maybe we can get some clues about the 'Blue Lions' from there?" "There is no need for us to go. Now that the police read the newspaper, they will rush there in a hurry, and then they will mobilize all the police to investigate the character of Mikami Tokutaro. So Yabe will tell us soon." "Maybe so." Shi Zi also agreed.If an identity check is carried out, the police will investigate quickly and thoroughly. The young couple who had just sat down at the next table were talking loudly about the news reports. Since the voice was loud, it naturally entered Zuo Wenzi's ears.Interested to know how these young men and women would react to the incident, he lit a cigarette and listened in silence.He looked up at Shi Zi, who was also listening. "It's terrible." The man expressed his actual feelings. "From now on, you won't be able to fly or take the Shinkansen with confidence anymore. These guys seem to be capable of anything." "Can't the police catch them? If they can catch these guys tomorrow, wouldn't it be a waste of 5,000 yen?" The woman was talking about reality. "How stupid! At that time, you can ask Mikami Tokutaro for 5,000 yen back!" "Yes, yes. I don't know what kind of badge will be given to us. If the criminal catches it, maybe it will be sold for a good price!" "Keep your voice down, it's better to keep your voice down. I don't know where they are. I heard that the first time the hostage was killed was in this bar." "I know, so I drank the coffee without sugar. Are you going to pay the ransom?" "I can't help it! I'm going to pay. The two of us will go to Osaka next month, whether it's by Shinkansen or by plane. If Samsung dies like this time, then everything will be over!" The young couple finished their coffee and walked out of the bar. Look at Shizi on the left text. "It appears that at least two of the 120 million people are ready to pay the ransom." "We also want to buy security with 5,000 yen?" Shi Zi seemed to be joking, but also serious, and asked Zuo Wenwen with an expression of both. "We can't buy safety!" Zuo Wenwen said. "Why? Didn't Yabe already pay the funds in advance? So there is still money to pay the ransom for the two people. I still want to see what kind of badge it is!" "Anyway, we'll see soon." "Do you think everyone will rush to buy badges for 5,000 yen?" "Yes, I think so. The word 'modern' has been interpreted in various ways, but it is indeed a good era, and it is also quite luxurious. You have cars and you can travel overseas. This era is an era of pity for life. So I I think quite a few people will buy it. Also, it would be terrible not to buy it!" "why?" "They're also killing a lot. It's scary!" "Yeah! But what do you mean we don't buy security by paying the ransom?" "We targeted three men and women. If these three people are 'blue lions', then we are a stumbling block to them. So, even if we pay 5,000 yen, as long as we continue to search, we will be attacked." "But I don't have the actual feeling of being attacked yet!" "This proves that we have not yet approached them. Since we don't even know where the three of them are or what they are doing, they have no need to eliminate us yet." Zuo Wenwen laughed.But this is not a cheerful laugh, but self-deprecating. Now, even if they go to blow up the Shinkansen, Zuowen can't stop it. "There are only three of them, but—" Shi Zi said. "What did you say?" "You said that geniuses tend to be isolated. If they build an organization, they should have something in common. This common point is U University graduates, right?" "so what?" "Let's take a look at the ages of the three of them!" Shi Zi opened his beloved notebook. "Hideo Makino, who has served eight years in prison, is 35 years old, Junichiro Kushita, a doctor who performed human experiments, is 34 years old, and the woman Futaba Takue is 29 years old. Makino and Kushida are between 35 and 34 years old, so it can be considered that they were in the U.S. at the same time. Big. But the 29-year-old Futaba Zhujiang couldn’t be studying at U University at the same time as them.” "En." Zuo Wenwen snorted, but suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go!" Zuo Wenwen quickly stood up and walked out of the bar first. Shi Zi chased after her husband in a panic.She was baffled by Zuo Wen's sudden action without any explanation. When Shi Zi chased him, Zuo Wenwen was already standing on the road, waving to the taxi. "This man may be a genius. At least this kind of willful action looks like a genius." Shi Zi smiled wryly in his heart, and got into the taxi with Zuo Wenwen. "Bunkyo District Japan Center for Talented Education." Zuo Wenwen said to the taxi driver. "Where are you going again?" Shi Zi asked.Zuo Wenzi's eyes flashed with blue light and said: "Same as you said." "The three of you were separated?" "Yes. Geniuses often act strangely. These three people have extreme personalities and actions, but in this incident, the strange calm and calm actions make people feel very special. If there is someone who unifies the three of them That's a different story. This person has to be a figure that the three of them are convincing about. He has to be both commanding and actionable. The three of them are brought together through this figure." "However, in those graduate cards, except for these three people, there are no people who have suffered setbacks in life! All of them are active in various fields of society." "You are right. Their leader is not a person who has suffered setbacks in life, but he is a person whose mind has been twisted. I think it is most appropriate for him to be the organizer of this hijacking incident. " When they came to the Elite Education Center, Director Yananuma received them.But Liu Nuo's expression today was extremely serious. It was obvious that he had read today's evening paper. "Do you think that among the talented people educated at U University, there are criminals in this terrorist incident?" Yananuma asked seriously. Zuo Wenwen suddenly felt a little difficult, and I didn't know how to answer it.Because he can't verify his speculation yet, he didn't talk about it with the Yabe Police Department. "I just thought maybe there was," Zuo Wenwen said. This ambiguous way of speaking seemed like an answer to Director Yananuma. "All U graduates are good people." "We understand your feelings very well, so our actions are also very cautious. Without evidence, you cannot accuse casually. After all, you once said that Hideo Makino, who was serving a sentence for homicide, was only sentenced because of an excellent defense lawyer. Eight years can be punished." "Yes, thanks to Nogami-kun's care." "Indeed, you mean Nogami's defense attorney." "Young but an excellent defense attorney." "He is also a graduate of the special class of U University?" "Well, he's the ninth." "I heard that when Kushida Junichiro had a problem with the living body experiment, it was Lawyer Nogami who helped him go to K Island, right?" "Yes, maybe. In short, although Nogami-kun is young, he is a helpful lawyer." "Futaba Zhuojiang was admitted to a mental hospital. When she was discharged from the hospital, I think she needed a guarantor. Her guarantor was also Lawyer Nogami, right?" "It seems so, but not sure. He is also the counselor for the center." "Where can I meet him?" "His office is in the K building of Ginza. I think I can meet him there. But he is very busy, should I give him a call first?" "No. We'll go right away." At the entrance of K Building in Ginza, there are signboards of various firms, including the signboard of "Nogami Law Firm". Get into the small elevator. "It's finally time to face the enemy leader!" Shi Zi's cheeks turned red. "How cute!" "what?" "When you get excited, your eyes sparkle, so cute!" Zuo Wenwen wanted to relax his tense nerves, and deliberately said it jokingly. They arrived at the office on the eighth floor. "Much more grand than our office!" Zuo Wenwen opened the door and walked in while talking. There was a young and beautiful woman in the reception room, smiling and greeting Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi. "I want to see Mr. Nogami." Zuo Wenwen said to the receptionist while looking in. Three young lawyers are working nervously in the firm.Someone is talking on the phone, someone is talking to a guest.It looks very prosperous. "Have you made an appointment?" "No. I came all the way from New York, and I must see him." The left text speaks in English.That's when his blue eyes came into play.Therefore, whenever there is a problem, the left text is written in English, so that the original strange things can be carried out smoothly in Japan. As expected, the receptionist went into the back room, and came out again after a while and said to the two: "Please, please go to the innermost room." Zuo Wenwen and Shi Zi opened the inner door and walked in. There was a large table in the large room, and behind the table sat a thin man of forty-five or sixteen years old. As soon as Zuo Wenwen walked into the room, he recalled the functional office of the general manager of the United States. He felt that the man sitting there did not fit well with the room. "I'm Tomoya Nogami." The man stood up from the chair and held out his hand. Zuo Wenwen gently shook hands and said: "Your office is very lively!" "Young people are very capable, but I don't do anything, just sit on a chair." Nogami smiled, "You are an American, this is your wife, right?" "It's a bitch." "It's also a secretary." Shi Zi added. "It's admirable. What's your business this time?" "I was studying gifted education in New York, and I would like to use the opportunity of my visit to Japan to investigate the situation of gifted education in Japan. I visited the Japanese Talented Education Center in Bunkyo District a few days ago." "yes?" "There, I learned that Japan concentrates on special education for people with an IQ above 140 at U University. I heard that Mr. Nogami is also a graduate of U University's special class?" "Yes. Once we become benevolent, we will become a typical example of ordinary people, so it will not have any effect on the research of elite education!" Nogami's words were always calm and steady, with a smile on his lips. Shi Zi recalled the voices of the criminals in the tape and compared them with the voice of the man in front of him, but they were not similar at all. "My research topic is 'Frustration of Genius'." Zuo Wenwen said while observing Nogami's face. "Hey, it seems interesting?" "However, geniuses are often twice as dependent on themselves as ordinary people, so they will ruthlessly counterattack when they encounter a slight setback, and the result will be serious attacks on society and others." "So there's a conclusion?" "It can be said that it is about to come out. A kind of vengeance will spring up. They build the theory that only applies to themselves, for example, for the end, all means are allowed. Why allow it? It is because they are geniuses themselves, that is Their theoretical basis. Their methods also include killing." "Is there such a case in the United States?" "The Charlotte incident is a typical example. But I don't know if there is such a case in Japan, so I visited the Elite Education Center with such doubts. I first found out that I received an elite education at U University and suffered Those who have experienced setbacks begin." "So, have you found it?" "I found it. Three people were found. Hideo Makino who killed people, Junichiro Kushida who was kicked out of the general hospital for experimentation on live bodies, and Takue Futaba who was admitted to a mental hospital. I heard that Mr. Nogami knew these three people. That's why I came to visit today." "Who said that?" Nogami asked, glancing out the window. "Director Yananuma of the Elite Education Center." "It's really embarrassing me!" Nogami smiled bitterly. "Why? Don't you know these three people?" "No, I can't say I don't know each other. When Makino-kun committed homicide, I was the defense lawyer. I remember the defense. But I don't know anything about him now." "So what about Dr. Kushida?" "I heard that something happened at Chengbei Hospital and went to Island K. That's all I know. Since he was not prosecuted, he didn't hire a lawyer." "How about Futaba Zhuojiang?" "Ah, not sure. What if I know these three people?" Nogami said with a smile on his face.But Zuo Wenwen felt that his opponent was fighting back, because this man did not believe that Zuo Wenwen studied elite education in the United States. The left text suddenly became difficult. Should I expose all my thoughts to the other party and see the other party's reaction, or let the other party see my dazed expression?After thinking about it, he took the former. The opponent is someone who has received an elite education that is rare in Japan. Acting has to be seen through after all, it might as well go straight to the point, it might make the other party feel embarrassed. "Have you read today's evening paper?" "It goes without saying, I've seen it." Nogami chuckled.It seemed that he felt that the conversation was finally getting to the point.Even opponents who strike first will find it tricky. "I still don't understand your tricks!" Nogami's eyes clearly showed this look.But maybe he miscalculated here, Zuo Wenwen thought, because he was overconfident in his own ability. "So you know about the strange hijacking?" "You really know how to go around in circles. Why are Americans like the French?" Nogami said sarcastically. "Then take the American style! I think the 'Blue Lions' in this case are the three I just mentioned plus one, and they are taking revenge on society according to their own theories." "That was really interesting." "Think interesting?" "Yes, and it's identified as three criminals?" "It's three plus one." "What does this plus one mean?" "Those three people may indeed be geniuses with IQs above 140, but from experience, their emotions are quite unstable. Although they have very good theories, they cannot coordinate their work, so they must be organized. This is There has to be a leader over them. That's adding one." "That means I'm the leader?" "Since you want to talk in an American way, I'll be blunt. I think you're the boss." What will be the reaction?The left text is watching.Should I just smile and prevaricate, or pretend to be angry?Either way it's just a suspect's reaction. Nogami was neither angry nor angry. Nogami stared at Zuomon seriously. “为什么能够得出是我这个结论，能告诉我吗？” 这种问话方式宛如是在探讨一个学朱问题似的。对下这种出乎念料的问话方式，左文字倒感到有些狼狈了。 “这三个人年龄不同，因而毕业于U大的时间也不相同，尤其是牧野英公判了八年刑，不可能跟其他两个人是朋友，也不可能制订事件计划。所以就必须有一个连接三个人的绳索，也就是勾通三个人的人。同时，这个人是一个冷静、富有计划性的人。于是，就出现了你。你是牧野英公的辩护律师。尽管你可以否认，但是当串田医生被赶出医院时，你不是帮过他的忙吗？当双叶卓江从精神病院出院时，你不是为她说过话吗？所以，你就是那根把他们三个人连结在一起的绳索。” “糟糕透了，太糟糕了。” 野上知也忽然笑了起来。这并不让人感到是在虚张声势，而让人感到是左文字的推理太有意思了。左文字也笑道： “糟糕吗？” “的确糟糕呀，在法庭上是绝对不会胜诉的。好像你们在协助警方办这个案，因而听过录音吧？” "I heard." “那么在那些磁带里有我的声音吗？” “没有呀！”史子小声对左文字耳语道。 野上似乎敏锐地听到了似的。 “那么，你们认为你们说的三个男女怎么样？三个人行踪不知，他们的U大同学倒是不少，你们可以拿着磁带让他们的同学听。如果不是，那么你们的话就毫无说服力了。” 这语调俨然是在教训人。 接待员敲门进来在野上耳边小声说着什么。 “有点儿事需要处理，失陪了。”野上起身对二人微笑道，“欢迎再次光临，跟你们谈话很开心呀！” “我也很想再次拜访。” 左文字笑道，并催促着史子出了“野上律师事务所”。 不知什么时候天空开始下雨了。行人在来来往往，和往常一样。但是那脚步比原来要快，是因为下着雨的缘故呢，还是因为整个日本都被卷进了劫持事件呢？ “慢慢走好吗？”左文字道。春雨淋在身上反而让人感到十分温暖。 “好哇！”史子点头道，与身材高大的左文字并肩在小雨中步行着。 “在思考什么？” "Ok." “那个野上律师不是罪犯吗？” “不知道。我一见他就觉得他就是那个头目，可还不能确定。但是他谈话过于冷静了，因为他很自信。这太不自然了。尤其是在谈到牧野英公、串田顺一郎、双叶卓江三个人时，他过于冷静了。这三个人都比他小。尤其是牧野，是他拼命为之辩护的。我们认为这三个人就是劫持案犯，当然作为老校友为他们感到不安和揪心才是自然的。” “那么，不是没有问题吗？过后只要抓住他的狐狸尾巴就行了。” “问题就是这个尾巴。现在，'蓝狮'们唯一留下的尾巴，如果说有的话，那是什么呢？” “声音呀！” “对，是声音。在普通的劫持案中，把罪犯的声音在电视和广播中播放，那是警察请求市民协助。这次录音中的声音奇妙地高亢，男女都相当有特征。尽管如此，野上却在挑逗我们似地要我们把录音带的声音与三个人的声音作比较。的确，我们不知道那三个人的行踪，但是他们有朋友，所以可以让他们听一下即可确认。但是，为什么野上那么信心十足呢？” “被认可的理由有两条，我想。”史子说，“一个是即使能证明声音相似，但仅凭这点也不能逮捕他们，他们还可以躲藏起来。第二是让别人帮忙打的电话。” “后者的可能性很小。人数越增多危险性就越增大。头脑聪明的他们不会不懂得这个道理。” “那么就是前者，而且即使能证明声音相似，但他们行踪诡秘，因此他很自信。” “也许。但是野上信心是那么十足。” “不过，还是先让他们的熟人听一听录音吧，这个我去办。女人办事对方乐于协助。” 似乎就这么决定了似的，史子在小雨中显得越发可爱了。
