Chapter 11 Chapter 9 Omiya Factory

Totsukawa first asked management section chief Mizushima and deputy section chief Daida about the modification of "Big Dipper" vehicles here. Mizushima and Daida said that it was in August last year that they proposed to modify the bus for the first anniversary of JR. "Is the time tight enough?" Kamei asked in surprise. "Big Dipper" is JR's trump card, and it took only seven or eight months to refit it, which is really unbelievable. Mizushima smiled wryly and said: "Isn't it! The time is short, and there are unique difficulties in modification, and it must be novel and luxurious to satisfy the passengers."

"The usual working hours are from 8:30 to 17:08, but when the Big Dipper is refitting, it doesn't work on Sundays and has to work overtime every day." Dai Tian said. "There are two things I want to ask you." Totsukawa said. "What's the matter?" Mizushima asked. "The dining car of the 'Beidouxing No. 5' train, the public event car, and the shower room of the luxurious single room all experienced explosions one after another. We think that explosives were installed during the vehicle modification process, so I would like to ask if there are any on the passenger car that can be installed. Space for explosives." Totsukawa asked.

Mizushima thought for a while, he was not thinking about whether there was such a space, but seemed to be thinking about whether he could answer Totsukawa's question. "Whether it's a passenger car or a tram, there are so-called dead spots, and not all places are filled. For example, there is a dead spot behind the video tape recorder in a luxury single-room sleeper, which means there is a gap." "After the completion of the project, it can't be seen from the outside that there is a blind spot inside, right?" When Totsukawa asked, Mizushima smiled and said:

"Isn't it too ugly if you can see it from the outside?" The prisoner probably installed explosives in a blind spot in the bus.Once the board is installed outside, no one can see it. "One more thing, I would like to ask you to talk about the security situation in your field." Totsukawa said. Deputy Section Chief Daida asked Totsukawa and the others to look at the map of the factory and said: "The workshop has four doors, the main entrance, the middle door, the side door and the door for trucks. The middle door is only open during lunch. There are nine guards in total, two in the day shift and three in the night shift. The main entrance and the door for trucks There is a duty room. There is no duty room at the side door and the middle door, and the TV in the duty room at the main entrance is used for surveillance.”

"Night patrols?" "One person patrols every hour." "So, can't people come in from the outside?" "You can see clearly in the factory." Dai Tian stood up and said. Totsukawa asked Kamei for a list of recently retired employees, and walked out of the reception room with Daida. The factory is close to the Shinkansen, and under the elevated Shinkansen is the material yard of the factory. In the vast workshops, there are bus manufacturing workshops, painting workshops, iron workshops, trolley repair workshops, vehicle repair workshops, warehouses, etc.There is also a vehicle remodeling workshop that has refitted Beidouxing buses.

Staff wear yellow helmets and blue uniforms. "The contractors wear gray work clothes, and there are not many of them. They mainly do cleaning and tidying up, and almost none of them work with the employees on site." Dai Tian explained as he walked. "Did a thief come in?" Totsukawa asked. Daida looked up at the elevated Shinkansen and said: "Yes. Some villains sneaked in, broke the locks of the warehouse and stole parts. As you have seen, the area is so large and the walls are so low. If he wants to come in, it is impossible to guard against." After speaking, Daita shrugged his shoulders.

Totsukawa thought that this was indeed the case. The long courtyard wall has no glass shards on it, and the wall is only two meters high. It is very easy to climb over the wall.Although there are people patrolling at night, the area of ​​50,000 square meters is hard to see. "Because the area is too large, even the guards on patrol are in fear!" Dai Tian said. The factory that refitted the Beidouxing vehicles is currently overhauling buses and trams. Such a large vehicle looks very small once it is placed in the workshop.The factory building is very large, with a high roof, and a ten-ton crane moves slowly above it.

Compared with the huge scale of the factory building, after rational management, the number of laborers is very small. Totsukawa also saw the passenger car being overhauled, and the interior of the car was being renovated. The roof part of the skeleton is exposed, and new plates are being installed. Looking at it this way, it is clear that there are plenty of gaps (so-called dead ends) where explosives can be installed.After the white plywood is installed, there is something hidden in the dead corner inside, which cannot be seen from the outside. Totsukawa walked around the factory and felt quite tired.

As soon as Totsukawa returned to the reception room, Kamei said to him: "The list of retired personnel is coming." This is a list of those who have retired over the past year. "Are there any people who resigned after March 3?" Totsukawa asked. "There is only one person, that is Koichiro Fujiwara at the end of the list." Mizushima replied. "Which department of the factory does he work in? Does his work have anything to do with the modification of Beidouxing vehicles?" Totsukawa asked while looking at the list. "That's where he works."

"Why did you quit your job all of a sudden?" "Because of an incident that occurred on March 4." "What event?" "He got drunk in a snack bar near Omiya Station, got into a fight with someone and injured him. As soon as it was published in the newspaper, he resigned automatically," Mizushima said. "How is he? Does he usually make trouble?" Kamei asked. "No, he's not that kind of guy. He's thirty-eight years old and a decent guy. I couldn't believe it when it happened." "Does he have any family?" "He is probably married and seems to have no children," Mizushima said.

Totsukawa and Kamei decided to meet Koichiro Fujiwara. Fujiwara lives in an apartment about 500 meters from the Omiya factory. It was a half-new and half-old seven-story building.But the superintendent of the apartment said he had moved out. "He moved away suddenly on March 15." "Why did he move?" "He didn't say that, probably because he couldn't stay here any longer." "Did you quit your job at the Omiya Factory because you got drunk and got into a fight?" "That's a reason too, but there are past reasons as well." "What happened in the past?" When Kamei asked, the manager muttered to himself: "Is this kind of thing easy to talk about?" Then he said, "Mr. Fujiwara's wife is called Ayako, and she is very particular about ostentation. She often borrows money to buy valuables, such as fur coats. It seems I also borrowed usurious loans, and debt collectors often came to my door." "Then the relationship between them is not good, right?" "They often quarrel, but Mr. Fujiwara seems to be fascinated by his wife, and he can't leave her no matter what. His wife is indeed young and beautiful." "Do you have a photo of the two of them?" Totsukawa asked. "The photos I took of them during the festival last summer should still be there." As the manager said, he found it and showed it to them. They were wearing unlined clothes, and it was a group photo of seven people. The manager pointed them to the Fujiwara couple. Indeed, Fujiwara is an honest-looking middle-aged man, and his wife Ayako is young and beautiful. "It seems that the age difference between the couple should be one round." The manager said. Totsugawara thought that maybe Fujiwara was the prisoner who was arrested again in Komaki, but looking at the photo, they were not the same person. "Is there nothing left in his room?" Totsukawa asked the manager. "Yes, nothing remained." "Where did he move, don't you know?" "I don't know, but the situation of his moving is a bit special." The manager said. "How special?" "Usually the moving trucks would come and take things away, but they threw away most of the furniture and stuff, and a Mercedes came and picked them up." "Benz?" "Yeah, so I feel a little special." "What kind of man drove here?" "It's not a man, it's a young woman wearing sunglasses, so I feel even more strange." "Woman with sunglasses?" Totsukawa muttered like this, remembering what Hashimoto told him about the information provided by Aida Gong who was on the "Hokutosei No. 5" train.When Hashimoto interrogated Huitian, Huitian confessed that he followed a man's plan, and he gave the man 10 million yuan. That man was the prisoner arrested in Komaki. When Aida was taken to the deep mountains of Mount Chichibu in a car, a young woman wearing sunglasses drove the car. Are these two women wearing sunglasses the same woman?If it was the same woman, the Fujiwara couple would have moved elsewhere in the prisoner's car. "I think Koichiro Fujiwara must have installed explosives on the modified Hokutosei bus," Kamei told Totsukawa as he walked out of the apartment to the police car. "His wife may also be a member of the gang." "I thought, even if she wasn't part of the syndicate, she must have known what her husband was up to." "So, we already know the names of two members of the criminal group, Fujiwara Koichiro and his wife Ayako." "The man arrested in Komaki is the leader, right?" "Probably." "Hojo-kun and Harada-kun said to send that prisoner back to Tokyo today," Kamei said. "Well, let's see him again." As Totsukawa said, the two drove the police car back to the Metropolitan Police Department. Sanae Hojo and Detective Harada have returned. Totsukawa saw the prisoner again, he was still so arrogant, so poised. Totsukawa puts the evening paper that published the Sapporo Station bombing incident in front of the prisoner. In the newspaper report, there was no mention of the extortion and payment of 100 million yuan by JR East Japan Company. This is because JR East Japan Company and the police authorities came forward to stop it. But this matter was still published on the first edition as important news. "Your trump card is gone." Totsukawa said to the prisoner who was looking at the paper. The prisoner leafed through the newspaper in silence.He saw photos in the social edition, with pictures of burned-out buses and wounded people in bandages. "For you, the explosives installed in the public event car and the dining car of the 'Beidouxing No. 5' train are trump cards, but they are all used up now. Just give up your heart and say it all." Totsukawa said . The prisoner put down the newspaper, looked at Totsukawa and said: "Why hasn't the story about JR's extortion of 100 million yuan been published?" "After the incident is resolved, all will be published." Ten Tsukawa said. "Is it because it is detrimental to JR and the police that you didn't publish it? The arrest of a prisoner was also not published. It is because you have to admit that JR East was blackmailed once you publish it, so you keep silent?" The prisoner looked at Totsukawa mockingly. Totsukawa smiled and said: "If you think this is my weakness, you are very wrong. I am a person who does not care about the prestige of the police. I focus on the facts first. So you can't get anything from here." "Then why not log out?" "I probably think it's unnecessary." Totsukawa responded casually, and continued: "The people in your group, we have gradually mastered. You, the young woman wearing sunglasses, and the Fujiwara Koichiro couple who worked in the Omiya factory. I think it was Fujiwara who installed explosives on the bus. Is there anything else?" "It's up to you to find it," said the prisoner. "You are too ignorant." Totsukawa looked at the other party with pity and said, "You are finished. As I said just now, you have nothing in your hands. Now you can sue, coerce, and explode the train." ,kill." "anything else?" "What did you get for doing this kind of thing? Did your accomplice take away the 100 million yuan?" "Did I get something?" repeated the prisoner, and then said with a smile, "You little man, you will not understand. I have been satisfied. Because I succeeded in threatening JR East to make it take out One hundred million dollars." "Is this what you can boast of?" "Yes. The clerk who only wants to live a peaceful life will not understand. I have done things that others can't do, and I have succeeded. However, I didn't kill anyone. The woman who died in the single room was killed by that miser in Huitian." The prisoner said. "Didn't you get 10 million yuan from the miser Aida?" "I was raising military expenses. Funds are needed to do big things." "Is it something glorious that you destroyed the 'Hokutosei' luxury bus that all Japanese people want to ride in?" Totsukawa frowned and looked at the prisoner. "In addition, I also fulfilled a romantic dream." The prisoner said. "A romantic dream?" Totsukawa asked, looking at the prisoner. "Yes, masculine romanticism. I am satisfied with the fulfillment of this dream. I am afraid you do not understand that." An inexplicable smile appeared on the prisoner's face. After saying this, the prisoner fell silent.Not simply silent, but immersed in his own world. Totsukawa therefore suspended his interrogation. "Too bad is that his identity has not been clarified until now. The same is true of his female partner wearing sunglasses." Totsukawa said to Kamei. "Nothing came out of the fingerprints." "No criminal record?" "yes." "However, the prisoner got 10 million yuan from Huitian Gong, and he knew that Huitian was having a lot of trouble with women." "He investigated the situation in Huitian, right?" "Because he knows the relationship between Aida and Hamano Kaori, starting with the investigation of Aida and Hamano's situation, maybe the culprit will emerge." "Then, call someone to investigate immediately." After Kamei finished speaking, he called the Nishimoto detective. After Nishimoto and the others left, Totsukawa said while drinking the coffee Kamei made for him: "What's the matter with the romanticism of prisoners?" "Prisoner Romanticism?" "The prisoner said it himself. He said he had fulfilled his romanticism in this incident. And he looked at me and said I couldn't understand." "Wouldn't it be his romanticism to coerce JR East?" Kamei asked with a wry smile. Totsukawa said: "It doesn't seem to be the case. The prisoner arrogantly said that coercing JR East is a big business, but his romanticism may mean something else." "The prisoner's romanticism, the devil knows what he is referring to!" Kamei said. "What is Kamei-kun's romanticism?" "My romanticism?" Kamei said without knowing how to answer. "I don't have any ambitions, I just dream of my children growing up healthily. This can also be called my romanticism." "Not bad." "The romanticism of the prisoner is probably extraordinary." "Perhaps it refers to women." Totsukawa said suddenly. "Woman? Is that the young woman with the sunglasses?" "Yeah, I've been wondering where the $100 million went. Maybe that's what he meant by manly romanticism." "Are you saying that he gave all the 100 million yuan to that young woman?" Kamei asked. "Yes, maybe that guy is a romantic too!" "You mean the guy who blew up the train?" Kamei's expression showed disbelief. "Romantics aren't necessarily just people, there are romantics among villains. Hitler seemed to be a romantic at one point." "That is to say, is that guy getting a lot of money for young women?" "Well, he fell in love with a woman, and he wanted to work for her, so he threatened JR East to get 100 million yuan. He might give her all the money and tell her to use it as she pleases." "That's money extorted by threats!" "For him, this is his favorite work." Totsukawa said with a smile. "Is it possible for that woman to go far away?" Kamei asked urgently. "It's possible, maybe she fled overseas. However, we still don't know her face and name. Even if we arrange servants at the airport, we may not be able to catch her," said Totsukawa. "Is there no other way?" "Now we just have to wait and wait for Nishimoto and the others to bring us new information." "It's really worrying," Kamei said. "The battle against time is over because there are no more vehicles that could explode," Totsukawa said. Kamei also felt helpless, so he lit a cigarette and said: "I always feel uneasy. Let us go over the course of events again." "Okay, we may have overlooked something." Totsukawa said. "We had a couple of questions." Kamei said, writing the main points on the blackboard in the room. "First, why did the prisoners choose 'Hokutosei No. 1' instead of 'Hokutosei No. 5'? This question has already been answered. The prisoners installed explosives on buses that were being refitted at the Omiya Factory of JR East Japan. Therefore, they can only choose JR East's 'Big Dipper 5' as the target of the crime." "Exactly." "The second is the antenna problem. This problem has not yet found the answer." Kamei said. "You're saying that a receiving antenna is necessary for radio control?" "yes." "I think the problem may be this: Koichiro Fujiwara installed explosives on the passenger car being refitted, and installed the outer panels to hide the explosives. If an antenna was installed at that time, it would be discovered immediately. It may be a chisel. You can install the antenna through the small hole at any time, so that one end of the antenna can be connected to the receiving device. Just cut a small hole in the wall, and I am afraid that the experts will not care if they see it. If you are not at ease, press a rivet That's all. Of course the rivets can be removed at any time." Kamei nodded and said: "In that case, an accomplice must be on the train." "Yes, I think Fujiwara got into the car because he installed the explosives and he knows where it is." "Haven't the things carried by the passengers been checked after the first explosion?" Kamei said. "It has been inspected, but Fujiwara only brought two or three antennas. Isn't it easy to hide them? For example, hidden on the side of the suitcase, not to mention a retractable antenna." "Then, the next question is, why does the prisoner only want 100 million yuan? He asked Huitian Gong for 10 million yuan, and he can ask for another 10 million yuan after he succeeds. But I think the amount of money is still not much. In addition, instead of asking Huitian Gong asked for money, why not ask JR East for 200 million yuan?" Kamei said. "I think about this problem as follows: the prisoners installed explosives in the luxurious rooms 1 and 2 of the 'Beidouxing No. 5' train. Room 2 exploded, and room 1 was discovered by the prisoners on purpose. One hundred million dollars." "Are you saying that a prisoner can get 100 million dollars without getting arrested?" "Yes. Because the experts can't find it, they think there are no explosives. The 'Big Dipper 5' will be changed to the uplink 'Big Dipper 6'. The dining car and the public event car are carrying bombs from Sapporo to Ueno. In this way, criminals can threaten JR East again at any time and extort 100 or 200 million yuan." "Because their leader was arrested, this plan will fail?" Kamei asked. "yes." Totsukawa nodded. Xiben and the others are back. Nishimoto said: "Finally, the contact point between the prisoner and Aida Gong has been clarified!" "However, Aida told the road police that the prisoner came to him suddenly." When Totsukawa said this, Nishimoto replied: "Huida has been under surveillance for a long time." "By that prisoner?" "Yes. Aida often goes to a club in Ginza. The prisoner also came to this club to observe Aida's activities secretly, and asked the waitress about Aida's situation." "Is that right?" "Showed the picture of the prisoner to the manager and the hostesses at the club, and they said it was him, yes," Nishimoto said. "Have you found out the identity of the prisoner?" "The people in the club said that he himself said that his name was Takata, and he opened a gem shop in Shinjuku. He also said that he spent money very generously." "Takata is probably also a pseudonym." Totsukawa said. "But maybe it's true to have a gem shop, according to the hostess at the club, who knows how to talk about gems," Nishimoto said. "Those who open a decent gem shop probably won't go down the path of crime. Maybe they are the ones who fail to open a gem shop." "I thought so too, so I asked Kusaka Detective to go to the Shinjuku area to investigate whether there are closed gem shops." Nishimoto said. Another hour later, Higaka returned. As soon as Kusaka came back, he said happily to Totsukawa: "I found out about this person." "Is it really a jeweler?" "Yes, two years ago he ran a gemstone store on the second floor of the East Exit Building in Shinjuku, but he failed and was in debt. It is said that his whereabouts are unknown now. There are also rumors that he does not have a store now and is engaged in a peddler." "Is that the prisoner?" "I took out the photo and showed it to the residents of the building, and they said it was him, that's right." "What's his name?" "His name is Jun Komatsuhara, 31 years old." "Ah, is it called Komatsuhara?" "People said that this person seemed very capable, and I don't know why the gem shop closed down." Kusaka said. "What about the woman wearing sunglasses?" "Komatsuhara is not married yet." "31 years old and still not married?" "It is said that he was in love when he was 26 years old, and the woman died when he was about to get married. It is said that this is what Komatsuhara himself said." "Is he really dead? Or is he not dead?" "To find out, I looked up the woman's name." Kusaka said and wrote the name he wrote down on the blackboard: "Minako Toda." "I heard that she used to live in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture." Kusaka said that if she was really dead, the woman with the sunglasses couldn't be her. However, Kusaka said that if Komatsuhara did not let others see her face, then she would be Minako Toda. Although it was late at night, Totsukawa still hung up the phone to the Hayama Police Station in Kanagawa Prefecture and asked for assistance. The person who answered the phone was the Oyama Police Department.He said: "We'll go to Toda's house to investigate, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow." When it was almost dawn, Xiaoshan’s trial department called: "We found the name Minako Toda. The Toda family is a family from Hayama." "How is it now?" Totsukawa asked. "For details, we will investigate after dawn. But his house caught fire four or five years ago, and his daughter and father may be dead." "Is the daughter you're talking about Minako Toda?" "I think it's her. I'll tell you the details when I know more about it!" Xiao Shan said. Its daybreak. There were running reports of the incident in the daily newspapers. As soon as Minister Mikami returned to Tokyo, he immediately instructed Totsukawa: "Until the 100 million yuan is recovered, the coercion cannot be published." The bus was bombed, and another 100 million yuan was extorted. Publication of this would damage prestige. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Xiaoshan Police Department of the Hayama Bureau called again: "I've been to the Todas, and the apartment is being built there. Of course, it has something to do with the Todas." "Did Minako Toda and her father both burn to death?" "yes." "Is there no other family?" "And a mother and a daughter." "Is there any news about their mother and daughter?" "No news. They moved to Fukushima, and the current situation is unclear." "The other daughter, is Minako's younger sister?" "It's Minako's younger sister who is five years younger." "What is your name?" "It's called Toda Junko. When the fire broke out, she was a college student and lived in the school dormitory, so she survived." "Looks like her dead sister?" "It's very similar. I have a group photo of their family here, and I will send it to you for a look. It was taken five years ago." Xiaoshan said. What was telexed was a group photo of the four members of the family.Middle-aged parents and beautiful two sisters. "The woman wearing sunglasses is probably the younger sister of the photo," Totsukawa said. "The two sisters look very similar." Kamei said while looking at the photo. "The prisoner Komatsuhara may have seen the shadow of his lost lover in his sister." "Is that what he meant by romanticism?" "Maybe." Totsukawa continued, "She may fly abroad with 100 million yuan. Make arrangements immediately so that she doesn't get away by plane." They immediately copied Toda Junko's photo, and sent criminal police to Narita Airport with the photo. They telexed Toda Junko's photos to other international airports, asking them to monitor them. "It's been two days since the prisoner got 100 million yuan. I'm afraid it's too late?" Kamei said. "It's very possible, but since we know her name, we have to take measures." Totsukawa said. Totsukawa and Kamei interrogated the prisoner again in the interrogation room. "We know your name. Your real name is Komatsuhara Toshi." Totsukawa said. However, the prisoner almost didn't respond when he heard it, probably because he was mentally prepared for the discovery of his real name. "Are you a bankrupt jeweler?" When Kamei said this, the prisoner couldn't help being surprised. Totsukawa handed the prisoner a cigarette, and said, "And what you call masculine romanticism, we can guess what's going on." "Do you know?" asked the prisoner. "Yes. You said a clerk like me wouldn't understand." "Do you really know?" "Six years ago, you fell in love with Minako Toda from Hayama. But she was burned to death with her father in a fire. She was a very beautiful girl." When Totsukawa said this, Komatsuhara's face blushed immediately, and he said loudly: "You won't understand the blow I suffered at that time!" "I can understand that when I was in my 30s, I also lost my lover and was killed." Totsukawa said in a heavy tone. Komatsuhara looked at Totsukawa with a dubious expression. Totsukawa went on to say: "I was 32 at the time, and I didn't get married until I was 40." "is that true?" "Why should I lie? It took me eight years to forget her. No, not forgetting her, but being able to fall in love with other women. I think your situation is the same as mine. The difference is that you The second lover is the younger sister of the dead lover, so the situation is a bit more complicated," Totsukawa said. After hearing this, Komatsuhara threw the newly lit cigarette into the ashtray and said: "Have you even investigated this?" "Her sister's name is Junko Toda, isn't she? She is the same age as her sister when she died. She is also very beautiful. You see the dead lover in Junko. Your mood is complicated ,right?" "She has her own life," Komatsuhara said. "Yes, although the sisters look very similar, the younger sister is not an older sister after all. You want to do something for Junzi. You want to give her a lot of money. You gave her all the 100 million yuan, right?" "It's too late," Komatsuhara said. "Why is it too late?" Kamei asked, staring at Komatsuhara. "You have even investigated her situation, thank you! But she is no longer in Japan, she has already gone overseas. The police can't arrest her." "Did she really tell her to flee abroad with 100 million yuan?" Ten Jinchuan asked. "Yes, she's gone." "Because of this, can't you talk about it with peace of mind?" "About what?" "I mean you can talk about Junko Toda, okay? You want to talk too?" "Why do you think I want to talk?" "Although I am a criminal policeman, I still want to hear from you. I don't want to see you as just a vicious criminal." Totsukawa said. After thinking for a while, Komatsuhara said: "Minako Toda is an amazing woman. Of course she is beautiful, but more importantly, she has a good character. Although I was rich and young at the time, I didn't dare to take the liberty of admiring a noble woman like her. I just longed for her." "So you fell in love with her?" "Ah, yes, I was crazy about her. But she passed away suddenly. It was a nightmare for me. Well, she died suddenly in the fire!" "and after?" "I don't want to do anything anymore. The people in the store seemed to have seen through this, and they fled with money, and the gem shop collapsed like this." Komatsuhara said. "Is that so?" Totsukawa nodded. "Later, I worked as a gemstone dealer, barely managed to make ends meet, and tried hard to forget about Minako Toda. But this year, she suddenly appeared in front of my eyes." "Is it Junko Toda?" "Ah, yes. After the fire, she moved to Fukushima with her mother. After her mother died of illness, she came to Tokyo alone and came to me. Her face and voice are exactly the same as the dead Minako." "It is indeed very similar." Totsukawa nodded in agreement. She was very like her sister when she was 20 years old and went to a women's university, and now at the age when her sister died, she might be even more like her sister. "So, what do you want to do for her?" Kamei asked. "After losing her parents and sister, she was alone. Her dream was to leave Japan and go to America to live a free life." "You want to help her realize her dream, don't you?" Totsukawa asked. "Yes, I want to make her have enough money to live in America." "Haven't you thought of marrying her?" When Kamei asked, Komatsuhara had a complicated smile on his face, and said: "Junko looks exactly like her dead sister, so I'd do anything for her. But she's not her sister after all." "Is this also masculine romanticism?" Kamei said somewhat ironically. Upon hearing this, Komatsuhara glared angrily and shouted: "You will not understand." In order to ease his anger, Totsukawa asked with a smile: "Did you give her all the huge sum of 100 million yuan? Don't you want to keep all of it yourself?" "I think I can get money anytime from now on." "Are you calculating that you can still get 10 million yuan from Huitian Gong?" "That's one of the ways to make money." "You said it was one of the sources of income, do you still want to threaten JR?" "Yes. I thought the explosives would not be found." "That's true. But what I don't understand is that you often go to Ginza to drink and drive around in a Mercedes-Benz car, which shows that you have a considerable income. Why did you start this kind of incident again?" Totsukawa asked. Komatsuhara smiled and said: "My income is indeed enough for me to go to Ginza to drink frequently, because I met some customers when I opened the shop. As for the Mercedes-Benz, it is rented. Another point is that I want to do things that shock the society." "So that's the case. I also want to ask you, do you know Kinomoto Masa?" "I know this name. Is he a nonsense person who knows the gods?" "Isn't he your accomplice?" "Stop joking!" "However, he and his entourage took the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train and predicted that the luxury train would explode." "Really? But he is not my accomplice." Komatsuhara said coldly. "Why did you recruit Tian Gong into the gang?" Kamei asked. Komatsuhara said seriously: "He is not my accomplice. I just used him because I needed funds. I didn't expect him to be such a cowardly person. If you frighten him a little, you will say everything." "He is an ordinary person." Totsukawa said. International airports across the country, including Narita Airport, are under surveillance by the police.At every airport, there is a criminal policeman holding a photo of Junko Toda. Especially at Narita Airport and Chitose Airport, there are many criminal police. "I think Junko Toda has already flown abroad." Kamei said. Many other detectives also thought it was too late. But Totsukawa decided to continue the surveillance.He still holds out hope. His wish came true. On the afternoon of the fifth day after the incident, Junko Toda, who appeared at Narita Airport, was arrested by the undercover criminal police. At 13:30, Toda Junko was arrested when she was about to board the Northwest plane bound for Los Angeles. When she was arrested, 50 million yuan in cash was confiscated from the suitcase. Totsukawa personally rushed to Narita Airport to interrogate Toda Junko, and then returned to Tokyo with the results of the interrogation to meet Komatsuhara again. "Atsuko Toda was arrested at Narita Airport this afternoon!" As soon as Totsukawa said that, Komatsuhara's expression changed and he shouted: "You're talking nonsense!" "It's true, I went to Narita and met her." "Nonsense! She should have gone to America long ago." Komatsuhara said. "However, she didn't leave. And her suitcase only contained 50 million yuan, which is half of the 100 million yuan. Do you know where the other 50 million yuan went?" asked Totsukawa. "How would I know?" "There is a lawyer named Seguchi who is very talented. Although the defense fee is high, it is worth it. Junko Toda found him, entrusted him to defend you, handed him 50 million yuan, and told him to use it As much as you want." "..." "She has been delaying until today in order to find Lawyer Seguchi and entrust him to defend you." "Such a stupid thing to do! I will defend myself." Komatsuhara bit his lip. "Do you know why she did it?" "have no idea." "She is in love with you, that's why she helped you commit the crime. You were arrested, she can't leave you alone, and go to the United States alone!" "She wasn't involved in my affairs at all!" Komatsuhara said. "She made it clear that she helped you," Totsukawa said. The 50 million yen kept by Lawyer Seguchi was also confiscated. After recovering 100 million yen, JR East and the Metropolitan Police Department jointly held a press conference. At this time, it was announced for the first time that JR East was threatened to hand over 100 million yuan to the prisoner, but it had been recovered, and that the main criminal Komatsuhara and the accomplice Junko Toda had been arrested. "The co-accused Koichiro Fujiwara and his wife are currently on the run, and they are sure that they will be arrested soon." Totsukawa told reporters. "Did Kaori Hamano, who was killed on the 'Big Dipper 5' express sleeper train, be killed by Aida?" asked a reporter. Totsukawa smiled and replied: "It was killed by Aida Gong. That's right. Hamano Kaori was his mistress. Recently, her attitude changed and she asked him for money. So Aida asked her to travel to Sapporo and killed her on the train. .” "Did it come from Aida himself?" “是他自供的，但他说是小松原唆使他干的。”十津川说。 正在记者招待会进行当中，接到了在九州逮捕了藤原幸一郎夫妇的通知。 鹿儿岛县警在他们夫妻二人想从鹿儿岛再向南逃的时候将其逮捕。 他们两人被捕的时候，身上带着500万日元。 是小松原将从会田贡那里得到的1000万日元的一半给了这对夫妻。 和十津川的推理完全一致，据说是藤原乘坐“北斗星5号”列车安装了天线，由他的妻子亚矢子在外边用发报机爆炸的。 在札幌站使餐车和公共活动车两节车同时爆炸，可能是因为亚矢子是个外行。 本来应该先使一节车爆炸，向对方掩加压力，促使对方释放小松原。 关于一亿日元的易手问题，是户田淳子在中央公路上趋车跟在小松原后面，后来小松原在中途的加油站将一亿日元交给了户田淳子。 小松原大概告诉户田淳子，叫她立即奔赴成田机场，天一亮就坐最早的班机飞往美国。 但是户田淳子对小松原放心不下，没有立即成行。当她得知小松原被捕以后，就为他寻找有才干的律师。她虽然没有说这种行为就是爱的表现，但十津川从她眼神里已经看出她爱上了小松原。 至此，三月三集团的成员全被逮捕了。 小松原俊是主犯。 在大宫工场正在改装中的客车上安装爆炸物的藤原幸一郎和他的妻子亚矢子是从犯。 还有小松原所说的男子汉的浪漫主义的对象人物户田淳子。 也还有没弄清楚的事情，十津川全力以赴地想搞清楚。 问题之一是犯人们使用的爆炸物。 犯人们使用的全是硝酸甘油炸药，但小松原没有交待炸药的来源。其他事情他都交待了，为什么对硝酸甘油炸药保持沉默呢？ 小松原在将硝酸甘油炸药弄到手的时候，大概就在牵连对方的问题上苦思焦虑过，所以他守口如瓶。 想到这里，十津川就对小松原的朋友、熟人一一进行了调查。 在调查的过程中，出现了一个叫中村的搞土木建筑业的人。 中村是小松原大学时代的要好的朋友，现在在岩手县修筑水坝，当然要用硝酸甘油炸药。 十津川想，小松原一定是从中村那里弄到的硝酸甘油炸药，于是叫年轻的清水和日下两个刑警去进行调查。 调查结果，得知在中村土建公司负责地区丢失了20根硝酸甘油炸药。 中村只是说是自己的责任，但实际上他可能怀疑是小松原拿走了，只是没说出来罢了。 但是，还不能断定事实究竟如何，十津川也不想再追究下去了。 “真是个怪人！” "Who are you talking about?" “犯人小松原。他最初以乘客的生命作赌注进行威胁，我觉得他是一个最坏的人。但他对他死去的恋人的妹妹那么情深义重，而且还受到朋友的喜爱，真使我感到吃惊。”龟井说。 十津川摇了摇头说道： “他是以男子汉的浪漫主义作幌子，看起来好像是值得信赖的人。但他的人品和行为是另外一种样子。这次他干的事情是最卑鄙的。正如龟井君所说的那样，他是以众多乘客的生命作赌注的！” 在这次事件中，使滨野香织被杀害，桥本等三人负了伤。 受伤的三个人，桥本和菊地副站长要一个月才能治愈，DD51型机车的司机伤势最重，要三个月才能治愈。 他开的DD51翻车的时候，他的头部被撞伤，在他想爬出来时候，他昏迷过去了。他的右脚也骨折了。 十津川和龟井飞往札幌，对桥本他们三人进行了慰问。 十津川和龟井从札幌回到东京以后，西本高兴地问道： “关于木之元的情况你听到了吗？” "what's the situation?" “他得意洋洋地宣扬，这次事件他事先预言过了。” “他是预言过，但是他怎么能够事先知道豪华卧铺车厢要爆炸呢？我不相信他真的通什么神灵。” 十津川这么一说，西本笑了笑说道： “关于这件事情，周刊杂志发表了文章，说木之元一上火车，一直嚷嚷着说列车将要发生什么事情。若是真的发生了事故，他就宣扬他的预言成了现实。” “要是任何事情也没有发生呢？” “要是没有发生任何事情，大家马上就会把他的话忘在脑后的。”西本说。 “这不近似欺诈了吗？” “我想是的。”西本说，“据说以通神灵作招牌的木之元正因他的情人和他的部下睡在一起而大为恼火呢！周刊杂志还嘲笑他说，以通神灵自吹自擂的木之元，竟连自己的情人的心情都无所了解！”
