Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Dangerous Tilt

The killing of Sumiya made Saneda and Rie lose their purpose for this trip.Their coming to Turkey meant nothing at all. Tsafah eyed them both suspiciously.And perhaps for this reason, they were then "invited" into a police car and sent back to the Santerra Hotel.Rie felt disheartened. "What the hell are we going to do?" Li Zhi asked San Zhi weakly, but San Zhi also lost his purpose.There are no people who know the whereabouts of the plateau, and there are no "enemies" who intend to avenge their parents. Sanzhi's emotions were also infected by Lizhi's "we".But on the other hand, Lizhi felt that he couldn't do anything without Sanzhi.

(Why did I come to find the whereabouts of the plateau? He has a wife who loves him so much.) She hadn't thought about it before meeting her.It was only after I met Takahara Yoko that I realized that the emotional investment with Takahara was a huge mistake. (Gao Yuan kept saying it so well, but he still didn't get divorced!) Isn't the result of the fruitless love I pursued so hard at the cost of wasting my youth?Plateau is most likely out of this world.I will no longer be looking for the whereabouts of love, but looking for the wreckage of love. Sumiya died, and for the first time, he realized what it felt like to be meaningless.Rie suddenly felt that he had grown up a lot.

"But who killed Sumiya?" Sanzhi lost the purpose of coming to Turkey this time, but he still asked enthusiastically, it seemed that he had aimed at another goal. Rie didn't care about that anymore.Whoever killed Sumiya had nothing to do with her.Instead of discussing this issue, it is better to go back to the hotel and sleep. Driven by the impulse of love, the extreme exhaustion caused by running all the way from Japan to Athens and Istanbul to find the whereabouts of Sumiya suddenly burst out. "I'm so tired!" "Let's go back to the hotel and have a good rest, because it's impossible for Sumiya to escape anywhere."

Li Zhi found that he could no longer hold on, and San Zhi also saw the change of Li Zhi's mood. "But the room is still locked." Sanzhi said to Lizhi. "Then what to do?" Rie suddenly realized that he had no ideas at all. "The man in Athens may still be looking for us. Although we don't know what he is for, we should still be careful." yes!The most worrying thing now is the murderer who "killed" Sumiya.He knew he was looking for Sumiya, but he didn't know what his attitude was toward Saneda, who had the same hatred for Sumiya. Rie suddenly felt a burst of cold sweat behind his back.It was a sense of terror that she was being followed by someone, and she seemed to hear the footsteps of this "killer" outside the hotel.

"Sanzhi-san, please!" "what?" "Would you please come to my room tonight?" Out of terror, Rie said things a girl should not say.At this time, the police also arrived at the hotel. Sanzhi felt embarrassed after hearing Lizhi's words.He also begins to feel that he has a crush on Rie.I just met her last night.In this short period of time, they flew from Athens to Istanbul together, and encountered this murder case together, as if the two had experienced a long time together. Therefore, Sanzhi also had this illusion: he and Lizhi have been in love for many years.Sanzhi understood that because Lizhi was afraid, she proposed to live in the same room with her.But living in the same room with such a young and beautiful girl, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to "live in peace" overnight.This made him quite troubled.Drifting in the ports and territorial waters of various countries for many years, he has found such women to live with in various countries.

But the girl in front of him is a pure and innocent woman, and he would never dare to "do something" with such a girl.In any case, you can't tarnish Riede's feelings for any reason, even if the other party is out of "repayment". Love cannot be "reciprocated".The love between two people is burning, no matter who ignites the fire of love, it is appropriate to agree with each other, and a certain agreement is required as the premise. This kind of "love" so far has already had a "promise".Pursuing this "agreed" responsibility should have a limit from the very beginning, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future.But Rie is not an ideal candidate for such a "promise".Saneda realizes this instinctively, and he is disturbed that he is gradually being dragged into a crush on Rie and cannot extricate himself.

"Mr. Sanzhi, please, I'm too scared to be alone tonight, I won't be able to sleep!" In the lobby of the hotel, Rie said it again. Sanzhi understands that her request is not out of "love", but she should know what it means for a man and a woman to spend the night in the same room. "But……" It's hard for Sanzhi to speak.Because it was a single room with only one bed. "If I don't sleep well, I will be very uncomfortable!" "Then, I'll sit on the sofa with you tonight!" Sanzhi compromised.Despite the embarrassment in his heart, he was secretly happy.This chuckle is a "red flag" sign of love for a particular woman.

The two reached a tacit agreement.Ts'afah began to direct his subordinates to investigate.Of course, Sanzhi and Lizhi are also the objects of investigation. After a while, a staff member named Aoki came from the Japanese consulate.After the police gave him a detailed explanation, he and Tsafah conducted countermeasure research. Sanzhi and Lizhi were ruled out first.Because they just arrived in Istanbul this morning, there is no time to commit crimes. Istanbul seems to be the first time a Japanese tourist has been killed.Perhaps because of this, the Turkish police put a lot of effort into the investigation.

At the same time, the police investigated and collected evidence from the waiters in the lobby and other hotel employees, and found out the situation of the guests staying overnight since yesterday.It turned out that there were two other Japanese in the hotel besides Sumiya: one was a student from Kyoto; the other was a photographer entrusted by a publishing house to take photos.They also just arrived two days ago and have nothing to do with Sumiya.So the police's investigation object was transferred from Japanese guests to other lodgers.Santra Hotel is a C-level hotel in the city.There are about 50 sets of rooms.The price is relatively cheap compared to the facilities, so there are usually many foreign student groups.

But last night there was not a single group.The occupancy rate for the day was 60%.At the time of the incident, most of the guests had already gone on a trip.It is not clear where they went, but there are no Japanese guests among these guests. Those guests are basically "passers-by" who stayed overnight and should have nothing to do with the victim. "Will there be any guests whose passports have not been checked?" Tsafah asked sharply Mata, the waiter in the hall.Of course they were talking in Turkish, and they couldn’t understand what they said, but judging from Mata’s checking the list one by one and reporting the passport number filled in at the back of the list, it seems that Tsafah did not strictly enforce the registration system for restaurants. And get angry.

Mata just kept smiling.At this time, the police also investigated and collected evidence from other practitioners one by one.Since there were many policemen in the restaurant at this time, the restaurant was actually "open for business". “This restaurant sucks!” Tsafah complained to Aoki after questioning Mata and several practitioners. "Nothing clear?" When Sanzhi asked, Ciafah's eyes lit up: he seemed to be saying, "Why did you forget you?" At the same time, he also found that Lizhi was mixing with the Turks watching the excitement, so he took a few serious glances at her. "I didn't find anything, it's a waste of time! Ask anyone here and you will know nothing!" After Ts'afah finished speaking, he shook his bear-like body helplessly.He spoke bad English so fast that Sane and Rie couldn't hear anything clearly, and he also mixed in a few words of Turkish, probably because he was dissatisfied with the investigation. Aoki briefly translated a few times on the way. "Many times there is no one on duty in the lobby, and they come out only when guests come to look for them, just like getting on an unmanned car. Because this is a C-level restaurant, it looks like this!" Aoki also explained to Sanzhi with a displeased look on his face. "But it looks like Inspector Tsav'a is very angry!" Rie asked Saneda when he saw Tsafah yelling at the hotel staff and his subordinates. "When was he killed, is there any clue?" "It looks like it was between 5 and 10 this morning. But there are no clues, because from the standpoint of forensic science, it was too late to salvage. And even if there is a forensic autopsy, because he is a foreigner, it is still too late. There are a lot of procedures to go through, so if it takes some time, even if it is autopsyed, it may not be able to find any valuable clues." After Aoki asked Tsafah, he helplessly explained to Sanzhi. "No trace of the murderer was found either?" "It has not been found yet. The head of the deceased seemed to be hit with a hard object such as a wooden stick, and then thrown into the water. It is only found that the death of the deceased was caused by a fractured skull. Anyway, even if it is us A layman can see it at a glance. Now they are searching desperately, and they probably will find some clues." Aoki said pessimistically. As a result, nothing that looked like a clue to the murderer was found in Sumiya's room.Just found the passport of "Takahara Koichi" in his travel bag. Therefore, it was confirmed how Sumiya obtained Koichi Takahara's passport and fled abroad. "The police in Japan haven't called the consulate yet. Since Japan and Turkey are 'visa-free mutual entry agreement countries', ordinary passports can stay in each other's country for 3 months. After the period of stay expires, it doesn't matter Whether you agree or not, you must leave the country. If there is an incident of illegal stay, you will be deported through ICPO (Interpol).” When Tsafua learned from Sanzhi and Aoki that the deceased was a Japanese criminal who engaged in illegal business activities and robbed other people's passports and fled abroad, he couldn't help being surprised.Both Japan and Turkey are members of ICPO (Interpol). In the past, if a criminal fled to another country, the country where the criminal belonged had no right to search, and the country where the criminal fled had no right to arrest.For this reason, even though they know where the crime is, they can only watch the criminal get away with it because of the obstruction of the national border. In order to minimize the occurrence of such unreasonable situations, apart from political, military, religious and human rights reasons, and to bring criminals involved in homicide, robbery, arson, fraud, etc. The consensus has been greatly developed.However, since this is a loose organization that is not bound by a particularly clear international treaty, it does not have the power of compulsory search and arrest.Japan and Turkey have not signed a "criminal extradition treaty" for the arrest and extradition of fugitive criminals abroad, so the extradition of criminals can only be achieved through diplomatic negotiations. Turkey cannot directly extradite criminals in Japan from Japan, so it cannot arrest foreign criminals.So it was finally possible to turn to the ICPO for help, but it was impossible to take actual sanctions against the criminals. Since the Japanese police did not send the arrest warrant for Sumiya to Turkey, it cannot be blamed blindly for not cooperating with the Turkish police. However, the Turkish side was shocked by the killing of a Japanese in its own country.They did not "detour" to ICPO, but directly contacted the Japanese police.However, since the ICPO Japan Affairs Bureau was located in the Metropolitan Police Department, the ICPO and the Japanese police learned of the case almost at the same time.And it was Officer Tsav'a who gave the order to get in touch with the Japanese police. Unlike his usual procrastination in handling domestic cases, he expressed an unusually positive attitude towards the case. While contacting the Japanese police, the Turkish police also searched the hotel and its surroundings to collect evidence. As a result, not only did Tsafah find nothing, but other police investigators also found no clues like him.There were no suspicious figures around the deceased. At around 10 o'clock at night, after the police left two policemen behind, all the people in the brigade went back.After Sanzhi and Lizhi had dinner very late, they sat together in Lizhi's room. Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, none of them felt sleepy.Their nerves are in a state of high excitement, so sleep is out of balance.And once the two of them sat in this small room, the degree of excitement was even more obvious. "Who killed Sumiya?" The topic of the two always revolved around the murder of Sumiya.Things that the police can't find out, of course, we are even more "at a loss".But they had nothing else to talk about.They are just killing time. "Will the person on the phone be the murderer?" "Is it the Japanese who was in Athens with us?" "Probably yes, because Sumiya has no acquaintances in Istanbul. If someone he doesn't know calls, of course Sumiya will tell him to come to the hotel." Sanzhi had the same opinion as Tsafah.Sumiya stayed in the hotel room after arriving in Istanbul, but he suddenly received a call and went out, it should be said that he was very familiar with someone, or someone who had something to do with him. "Could it be that someone who hates Sumiya came after him from Japan?" "It's possible. That's what I am! But if that's the case, it's hard to explain the call asking him to go out. We can only think that he ran away after hearing the call, rather than going to meet." "But Sumiya shouldn't know who hates him?" "I think Sumiya's vigilance is the strongest in this kind of situation, especially the people who came to him from Japan. We managed to find his hiding place, but..." Sanzhi didn't think that someone called Sumiya to let him escape in order to protect him. "But what kind of person called him? Was it someone who planned to kill him from the beginning?" "At least I don't want people to find out doing this kind of thing in a restaurant." "If it's Japanese, you might be able to find out if you ask at the airport." "Yes. Remember the scene when we entered the country? People who come to Turkey for tourism must have their passports stamped when they enter the country." "It's not registered!" "That's true." "What about Haneda Airport?" Since the boarding cards of people going abroad are kept at Haneda Airport, clues may be found from them. "This is not necessarily possible. Because the number of people going abroad in Japan has exceeded one million in recent years, it is impossible to find someone related to Sumiya from the list at Haneda Airport, and it is another person whose name is unknown." As a result, the two found no clues about the murderer. "Too tired. I'm just on the sofa, you should have a good sleep too." Sanzhi said comfortingly.It would be too much trouble to go to Mata to change a double room, and since there are very few double rooms in this hotel, there are no suitable ones. "No, it doesn't matter to me, you better rest in bed." "I should be 'on duty' tonight. If the murderer comes, I can protect you. I don't have anything to do if I don't sleep all night, it doesn't matter." "Then I won't sleep either." "no!" Sanzhi suddenly became severe.It would be bad for Lie if he didn't sleep, whether he chatted with her or kept silent, the fact that a young man and woman with healthy body and mind lived in the same room in a foreign country made Sanzhi feel a kind of psychological stress. pressure. If one of them falls asleep, the tension can be somewhat relaxed.So Saneda insists on letting Rie sleep. At dawn, Li Zhi finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.She had a dream: the dream of killing Gao Yuan, and the dream of finding Gao Yuan's corrupted body in a mountain.But the strange thing was that she wasn't sad at all. An objective fact made her very calm: she snatched him from Gao Yuan's wife, and the passionate feeling of coming to a foreign country to find his whereabouts was replaced by another gradual feeling.Moreover, such sadness and anger seemed to be paralyzed, and all she felt was exhaustion. Before he knew it, Takahara's body became Sumiya again.She was stimulated and ran desperately; but suddenly she was hugged tightly from behind, the murderer who killed Sumiya was chasing after her, but she couldn't see the murderer's face clearly.She screamed and woke up from the dream. "What's going on? Have a nightmare?" Sane looked at Lie worriedly.After Lie opened her eyes, she suddenly relaxed, but at the same time she found that she was unconsciously grabbing Saneda's hand.So the two naturally hugged each other and kissed each other tightly. Just like in Lizhi's dream just now, Takahara died (at least in her heart), and someone killed Sumiya who knew his whereabouts. There is no longer any reason to stay in Istanbul.Nor was she in the mood to travel to Europe. But even so, she doesn't want to go back to Japan right away.The plateau is gone, and my heart is also cold. The mood to go back is gone, and the reason to continue to stay is gone. Where can I go when I am accompanied by loneliness? At this time, Sanzhi appeared, and he was a reliable man.It appeared in front of him completely as if he had replaced the plateau.Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving tool, Rie hugged Sanzhi tightly.
