Chapter 6 Section VI

May 10th. Qing CunYiShou came to Kagoshima County Police Headquarters.Sixteen days have passed since Kitakyushu District Attorney Masahira Izumi Kohide was killed. Qingcun had deep anxiety on his face. The Fukuoka Prefectural Police and the Kagoshima Prefectural Police established a joint investigation headquarters.The headquarters is located in Fukuoka Prefectural Police.Qingcun just came back from there not long ago. Some people speculated that the milk vetch pollen on the sofa at Hiraizumi's house might have been brought by an investigator named Ogawa.Ogawa's hometown is in the suburbs of Fukuoka City. A few days ago, Ogawa went back to his hometown on vacation.Zi vetch is planted in the field of my hometown.When he went back, he caught up with the purple vetch just blooming, and he took the child to play in the field.The clothes he wore when he searched Hiraizumi's house were the ones he wore in the vetch field.

That is to say, the pollen was probably brought by Ogawa. The last time it was brought by the photographer of the news agency, this time it was brought by the investigators.In this way, there is nothing wrong with it. The only pollen that may become a clue loses the value of further investigation. Pollen explained what was wrong with Ben, and then the remaining path was to imagine that the cause of the case was in Shimada and Hiraizumi's private life.So two prefectural police investigators invested in the investigation of Shimada and Hiraizumi's past. However, no doubts about the relationship between Shimada and Hiraizumi have been found so far.Apart from studying at the same time, the two have no other place to connect.After graduation, they were assigned to work in two different local inspections, and they have never worked in the same local inspection or high-level inspection.

In addition, the task of entrusting the prosecutor's office to search for a third prosecutor who may be victimized has also been put on hold.The prosecutor's office replied that there is no such person. Kiyomura stared blankly. What a bizarre case.Two prosecutors are being murdered by the same murderer, but the motive for the killing is unclear, and there is not even a single hair left.Well done. ——Are you going to fall into the ecstasy? Qingcun began to have this kind of worry. Kiyomura's last move is to investigate the relationship between Shimada and Hiraizumi when they were interns at the same time.There were a total of 149 advanced students studying in Tokyo at the same time, divided into four classes, and studied for two years.There are forty students in Shimada and Hiraizumi's class, and the student dormitory is in Kioicho.During the first and last four months, I studied there, and during the middle sixteen months, I was assigned to practice in various courts and prosecutors' offices.

Through travel or sports, fellows form friendships that last a lifetime.Among the forty people in their class, six became prosecutors, in addition, thirteen were trial assistants, and twenty-one were lawyers.Among the six prosecutors, one is not the serving prosecutor, but an alternate prosecutor.He is a section chief of the Human Rights Advocacy Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, and the position of alternate prosecutor was given to him because of his academic excellence. In this way, only five of the students in the same period became prosecutors.These five people later became prosecutors.The three currently alive are:

Tatsuno Nagashige, Chief Prosecutor, Hokkaido District Public Prosecutor's Office; Seiji Suzuki, Prosecutor of the Hokuriku District Prosecutor's Office; Hirofumi Morimoto, Prosecutor of the Hyogo District Public Prosecutor's Office. Shimada and Hiraizumi are dead. Generally speaking, the relationship between these five people who become prosecutors after the same period of training will be extraordinary.Of course they would have a good relationship with someone who was a lawyer or a trial assistant, but the latter would be much weaker by comparison. Kiyomura has assigned investigators to monitor the movements of the three living prosecutors. The investigators were sent to the local prosecutors' offices in Hokkaido, Kanazawa, and Kobe to set up a large net to track and monitor them.

Qing Cun judged that the murderer killed Shimada and Hiraizumi with the same weapon, which was a demonstration against the third party.This third person is likely to be among these three people. It was the fifth day since investigators were dispatched.Not a single report of value has been received so far. After noon, the phone rang. The call was from investigators dispatched to Kobe. "Inspector Morimoto is missing." The investigator who called was Yano, and his voice was full of anxiety. "what happened?" Please ask Murakami to ask calmly. "I didn't go to work. I kept watching closely, but I didn't see him coming out of the house. During this period, two prosecutors from the local prosecutor's office went to Morimoto's house and went back soon. I thought the two were acting suspiciously, so I went to the house Inquired here. Inspector Morimoto is living with his wife, and his wife said that in the middle of the night last night, Morimoto suddenly remembered something to investigate, so he went to the prefectural police, and he hasn’t come back since then.”

"What did the district inspector say?" "Said they didn't know where he was. They thought they'd be in touch soon." "Didn't you ask the Hyogo prefectural police to assist in the investigation?" "not yet." "Okay, arrange an investigation immediately. Learn more about the situation from his wife, and report to him immediately if you find any clues." Kiyomura put down the microphone. He connected the Criminal Department of the Hyogo Prefectural Police and discussed with the head of the Department, Takahashi Hiroji. "Inspector Morimoto of Hyogo District Prosecutor's whereabouts is unknown. He may have committed suicide. I hope to assist in the investigation. Please keep this matter confidential. Please contact me in time if there is any situation. I will wait here."

"Understood. Arrange immediately. Once you have a clue, contact me immediately. It's too strange, and there..." After hanging up the phone, Kiyomura connected the Fukuoka prefectural police again.Investigators from the Fukuoka prefectural police have been dispatched to Asahikawa and Kanazawa.Qingcun asked them to strictly monitor them. — finally started to take action. Kiyomura felt this strongly.The situation was developing exactly as he had estimated.The third assassination target was also among the leaders of the prosecutor's office.But this person did not come forward to surrender himself. If he told the reason why the murderer killed him, it would shake the foundation of the prosecutor's office.

The integrity of prosecutors is beyond the reach of those engaged in other professions.In Kamibanbashi, Tokyo, there is a place where government dormitories are densely packed, and people are used to calling it "Official People's Street".Whenever people give gifts to each other during Zhongyuan and the end of the year, no one is seen sending things to the prosecutor's house. If you don't, you can't be a prosecutor. Prosecutors have a sense of the whole.A strong hierarchy has developed within the prosecution service.Lower-level prosecutors obey higher-level prosecutors, and lower-level officials obey higher-level officials. This is unconditional.It excludes all heterogeneous.

Prosecutors representing the local prosecutors of the procuratorial agency were killed, and two people were killed one after another. After this strange incident happened, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the prosecutor's office. Even if you are assassinated, you don't report it to the police.It's more like suicide than being killed. Kiyomura's conjecture hit the nail on the head.He picked up a cigarette. He frowned slightly.If Morimoto Hirobumi, Suzuki Seiji, and Tatsuno Nagashige were not prosecutors, he would have interrogated them long ago.After interrogation, the murderer's situation will be revealed.

But it is not suitable to take such an approach to prosecutors.This made Qingcun feel restless. In the evening, Yano, who was dispatched to Kobe, called again. "Clues have been found that appear to relate to a motive for the crime." Yano's voice was a little excited. "Speak slowly." Kiyomura calmed the other party's tension with a calm tone. "I don't know where Morimoto is. But I heard from his wife that more than ten years ago, Suzuki and Tatsuno, including the murdered Shimada and Hiraizumi, and their fellow interns, a lawyer named Naka Masaharu, etc. , hold a fishing party every year." "Fishing party?" "It was a fishing party, but it wasn't quite a fishing party. They were said to be sailing on a large yacht that belonged to the father of the family, and it was very luxurious and spectacular." Yano's excitement still did not calm down.He heard the following from Morimoto Yoshiko: At that time, Morimoto Hirobumi served as the second prosecutor of the Kagawa District Public Prosecutor's Office.They have been married for seven or eight years.The six-person fishing party started two or three years after Morimoto got married. The inspector's work is busy, working 24 hours a day, and it is rare to relax all year round, and can only take a few days off in rotation. Masaharu's home is in Kobe.His ancestors were lawyers.His father was a high earner, making the list every year, so he could afford a big yacht.These six people take this yacht to go to the Five Islands every year, and it takes five days to go back and forth.If there is no guarantee of a five-day rest period, take a plane or train on the way and gather at the destination. This is their only pleasure.This event was held for four consecutive years.From the fifth year onwards, no such fishing gathering was held again.Ryoko asked why, and Morimoto replied that he became the second prosecutor.Probably because it is not suitable for the prosecutor to go out with the lawyer, and it is the lawyer's yacht, so many side issues have arisen.Before that, there were various discussions in the society. Morimoto said the decision was made to stop the activity as a result. Liangzi introduced the above situation after being asked whether the five people had done anything together, but Liangyu didn't know anything about their gatherings. Yano reported the information he got in one breath. "In what year, exactly, was the last meeting?" Qingcun asked. "It was fifteen or six years ago, but she doesn't seem to remember clearly." "Is that large yacht still there?" "I called and asked, and they said it is still in use." "Is there a voyage diary?" "Say no, because it's been too long." "Understood. You go to see the family, find out where the last party crossed the sea, which route it took, and which port the destination was, and learn as much as possible. Then, based on the information he provided, Go to the harbor offices at the port of departure, the port of destination, the Maritime Bureau branch, the Maritime Security Department, and other relevant departments to investigate and see if there are records left somewhere." "clear." Yano cheered up again. —Large yacht...fishing party? Qingcun said to himself. Whether there is any connection between the fishing party more than ten years ago and the killing of the prosecutor is still hard to say.But the missing Morimoto's wife emphasized that apart from the fishing party, the five of them seemed to have no activities together. --a decade ago. Kiyomura suddenly raised his head. The period of validity for murder detection is fifteen years.If six people, including the family, killed whom somewhere, why did the victim only want to take revenge now, more than ten years later?Maybe there's a reason the Avengers haven't been able to retaliate all this time?If the statute of limitations expires and the crimes committed by the six people are still not exposed, what will happen? By the time the truth was found out, the deadline for investigation had passed. —Then there is nothing but murder. Or, the murderer doesn't care about the statute of limitations at all, and what he wants to do to these six people is to personally pronounce and execute the death penalty. Kiyomura stared blankly. At this time, the corpse wrapped with three strands of twentieth wire, which seemed to show the murderer's firm will, appeared before his eyes again. Don't be too subjective - Kiyomura warned himself.But it seems absurd to think about it, and it seems to have grasped the key point of the case. A luxury yacht more than a decade ago...a fishing party. Five prosecutors and a lawyer. A murderer who never showed up. Behind Qingcun is a blue sea.
