Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Factional Controversy

one When Fengzhu came to the clinic, he realized that the clinic was located in a majestic 8-story building called the Medical Building in Otemachi.From this point of view, the consultation rooms here are probably set up by departments.In the mail room, he cautiously asked which floor the "special agent" was on.Because this "special appointment" itself has a mysterious atmosphere, I didn't expect the dispatcher to tell me that it was on the fifth floor. "I would like to do a short-term hospitalization examination." "It's also on the fifth floor." The mailman replied flatly.Fengzhu became excited when he learned that the short-term hospitalization was also on the 5th floor.

Coming to the 5th floor, it is a completely different atmosphere.There was no sound in the entire floor, and there were few people.Carpeted from the corridor to the waiting room, as luxurious as a high-end hotel.There is only one patient sitting in the waiting room.This is by no means a place to "squat in a pit".There is no "special reception desk" in the waiting room. "May I apply for a short-term hospital inspection, is it here?" Fengzhu carefully asked a young female receptionist at the reception. Fengzhu, who had experienced various scenes, was uncharacteristically restrained at this time.

"Where did you get introduced?" the receptionist asked arrogantly. "There is no introduction." "We only accept patients who have been introduced here." The receptionist looked at Fengzhu with scrutiny. "How good is this, can't there be no introduction?" "no." Fengzhu was at his wit's end. "Hey! Isn't this Fengzhu?" Feng Zhu was at a loss as to what to do when he heard someone calling him from behind.Looking back, it turned out to be an unexpected person. "It's you, Kisaki! Why are you here?" The person waiting in the waiting room was a classmate and old friend.

"During the last inspection, there were still a few inconclusive items. I will re-examine today. What are you doing here?" "I want to do a short-term inpatient examination. I came here because of the reputation, but they said that I need to be introduced. Can you be my introducer?" Toyozu wants to take advantage of this adventure quietly.Because of the investigation of "the car of the embassy of country A", Kizaki once asked him. "That's fine, but my introduction may not work." "Who introduced you?" "It's the company. It's the one who works now..."

"Then you can introduce it in your company's honor." "Well, it's okay, but why do you have to do the examination here? Isn't it possible to do it in other hospitals?" "This has something to do with my work, so I have to do it here." Fengzhu said in a low voice. "Health examination is also a job? As expected of a reporter for a weekly magazine. What do you want to do?" Toyosumi glanced around keenly, and felt that it would be okay to tell Kisaki. "Actually, that's what happened. A few days ago, a big man from the National Defense Agency died in a restaurant. We think he is suspicious and is investigating secretly."

"An important figure in the National Defense Agency? Is it Shusaku Sunada?" "Yes. I didn't expect you to pay attention to the newspaper." "What do you mean suspicious?" "Don't tell anyone that Shatian seems to have died from the stomach." "Dead in the belly! As expected." "Why, you know about this?" Feng Zhu was shocked.This is what the editors of the weekly magazine guessed! "I'm just guessing." "Guessing is out of the question. I mean, do you have anything to do with Shatian?" "Actually, I have something to ask you about that."

"Ask me? What's the matter?" "Didn't you be asked to investigate the car of the embassy of country A a few days ago? It has something to do with that." "You're talking about personal life. It's great to have a relationship with the embassy of country A in private life, but if the embassy of country A has something to do with Shusaku Shada... I said Kisaki, what are you doing now?" Fengzhu asked him with wide eyes. "Besides you, there is really no one who can discuss it. Let's go out and talk." "it is good." "Don't check?"

"I found out about this clinic when I was investigating the cause of Shatian's death, and it was mainly you, but is it convenient for you?" "It's okay, just come back later." The two left the clinic and walked into a nearby cafe, where Kisaki sent an unidentified woman from the company he worked for and the night of Shatian's death from Asuka's death to Tagani. Feng Zhu narrated it again. "Then, whose name is written on that door?" "The light was too dim, and it was far away, so I couldn't see clearly." "Do you remember that place?"

"That day, I was confused by turning left and right as instructed. I don't know where it is. However, when I came back, I came from Yuchuan Avenue, and it might be near there." "Would you recognize it if you got there?" "I think so." "Tamagawa Avenue, the direction is a bit wrong." Feng Zhu said to himself. "What direction is wrong?" "Didn't you go to the K station of the private railway?" "Station K, two stops away from the station near my home, on the side of the city center." "So your house is over there."

"But, what do you mean by wrong direction?" "On the day when Sunada died, a taxi driver took a woman to Asuka from near the K station. I think she was probably Sunada's mistress. You picked up an unidentified woman from Asuka. It was 2 o'clock when Tagaya died. More, according to Asuka's waitress, Shatian's mistress arrived at Asuka at 9:00 p.m., and the taxi driver brought another woman from near K station at 3:00 p.m. Kisaki thought of Oikawa Maki who lived near the K station, but he didn't care. "So it's two women." "I thought so too. The only one who saw the second woman was the driver, and neither did Asuka's waitress."

"The woman who came by taxi from near the K station at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night couldn't have died in Tianya in my car at 2 o'clock in the evening on the same day. It was two women." "Is your time okay that day?" "Of course not as accurate as the broadcast time, but I was looking at my watch." "So what was the name of the first woman you picked up?" "Do you know the identity of the second woman?" "Only by name. She is a patient of this clinic." "A patient in the clinic?!" The shadow of the real tree in my mind became clearer and clearer. "She dropped the medical certificate into the taxi, called Oikawa Masaki." "Oikawa..." As expected, it was her!Kisaki said in his heart.The woman getting on the train near the K station—it made the real tree appear in his mind.And when I heard that it was a "clinic patient", the outline of the shadow was clearer, so I had some mental preparations before hearing the name from Toyosuke.However, Kisaki's expression still changed subtly. "Do you know her?" Feng Zhu was sensitive to this change and asked. "No, I don't know." Kisaki made an expression of pretending not to know.So far, it has basically become a fact that Makoto has a certain relationship with Zhongjingguan.That night, she may have gone to Asuka according to the instructions of the Central Economic Management. Although it is not known what she was doing, it seems to have an ulterior connection with the death of Shuce Shatian. Kisaki plays dumb in front of Toyosumi because he doesn't want Oikawa Maki to be the subject of investigation by the weekly magazine.He wanted to protect her from the interesting investigations of the weekly magazines by questioning her himself before she was exposed. The good news is that Toyozu was prevaricated by Kisaki and didn't go any further. "But what do you want to ask me?" Feng Zhu seemed very interested in this matter. "I want to ask who Shuce Shatian is. He is known in the newspapers as a prominent figure in the National Defense Agency, but he also seems to be quite influential in the political and financial circles." "What do you want to ask this for?" Toyosumi looked at Kisaki's Ziguang. "I'm very interested. Our company seems to have something to do with Shusaku Sunada. Since I'm new here, I don't know what the relationship is. I'm also interested in the mistress of Sunada that I sent to Setagaya." "Shutaku Shada was originally a soldier who graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, but there are many unknowns about his experience. However, he does have a close relationship with the military supply industry. In the equipment review committee that decides the purchase of weapons by the National Defense Agency, he is domestically produced. The extreme right of the line faction." "So, the death of Sha Tian will lead to the death of the domestic faction?" "Probably so. The government has proposed a new defense force and concept that shifts from quantity to quality. Because the increase in quantity has reached its limit, we must pay attention to strengthening quality in the future. In fact, this is superficial, and in fact it is because of the previous practice. Too much money was spent, and it was too much to bear financially; moreover, according to the current national defense situation, it was believed that war would not break out right now, so the idea of ​​restraining armaments in terms of quantity came into being. "Originally, the so-called purpose of controlling defense costs is to 'improve quality', so this is actually the Ministry of National Defense accelerating the speed of weapon high-performance. Therefore, on the issue of importing the highest level of weapons, opinions have arisen on whether to import or domestically produced disagreement. "What has become the focus of disagreement is the main fighter jet TX25F of the second phase. It has as many as 210,000 parts, each of which is the crystallization of the most cutting-edge technology in modern aviation and electronic technology. The importers believe that if domestic manufacturers are allowed to develop and develop The budget is too large, and imports from abroad are much less than domestic production. However, domestic production is strongly opposed, and they believe that before the investment in equipment is repaid, it is natural that the cost of domestic production is high, and after the investment in equipment is repaid, it will be more expensive than domestic production. The cost of imports is low. And the weapons of the army and navy are almost 100% domestically produced. On the contrary, only the localization of the air force weapons stays at a low level. If you rely on imports, you will never reach 100% Nationalization." "The leading figure of this domestic faction is Sanda, right?" Kisaki was vaguely aware of Sanda's position.Before that, weapons and national defense were far away from his life, and he couldn't tell what it was even the position of general chairman of the Equipment Review Committee of the National Defense Agency.Fengzhu's explanation gave him a half-knowledgeable understanding. "In the National Defense Agency, the imported faction is all Air Force officers, while the domestic faction is all civilian officials in the department. Only Sha Tian is a member of the domestic faction among the officers." "So, who is the local manufacturer of TX25F?" "It's Lingjing Heavy Industries." "Hishi Heavy Industries!" Kisaki remembered what Murakami said about "there is a big sponsor behind him". Speaking of Lingjing Heavy Industries, as a sponsor, there is no bigger one.Hishii Heavy Industries used to be the core enterprise of the old Hishii Zaibatsu that dominated the Japanese economy.The enemy's rear area was once divided according to the Excessive Economic Concentration Prohibition Act, and was revived after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950.In September of the following year, the Japan-US peace treaty came into effect, and the order to disband the consortium was gradually abolished or eased. With the development of heavy chemical industrialization in the domestic industrial structure, Lingjing Heavy Industries became the basis for the reorganization of the Lingjing Group. Now, Lingjing Heavy Industries is not only the core of Lingjing Group, but also the axis of the rapidly rotating Japanese industrial structure. In particular, Lingjing Heavy Industries is the originator of the leading weapons manufacturer in China.During the Pacific War, almost all of Japan's main fighter jets were produced by this manufacturer. At the same time, it also produced warships, tanks and guns. After the war, most of the weapons manufacturers were on the verge of bankruptcy. Only Lingjing Heavy Industries, which undertook the task of repairing US military weapons during the Korean War and the Vietnam War, continued to grow and develop amid the decline of the same industry. During the war, the technology mastered by repairing the latest U.S. military weapons was later brought into play and became more and more proficient. If the National Defense Agency's weapon localization route has to be compromised due to Shatian's death, it will undoubtedly be a decisive event, or a matter of life and death, for Lingjing Heavy Industries. Of course, Kisaki did not know the status of Lingjing Heavy Industries in the domestic industry and weapons manufacturers, but he knew its name as the important town of the old chaebol.After Shatian's death, Tonooka and Murakami rushed to the scene, presumably following the instructions of Lingjing Heavy Industries. "What's the matter, is there something wrong with Hishii Heavy Industries?" Toyosumi was surprised by Kisaki's reaction. "Could Shatian's death be a conspiracy by the import faction?" "I've thought about it too, but it's unlikely. It's too dangerous to destroy Shatian for the benefit of the import faction. Besides, even if one person is eliminated, the domestic faction cannot immediately change the course of the domestic faction. The cause of Shatian's death is, It may have been abdominal death. As far as the cause of death is concerned, it is enough to embarrass the Defense Agency, so it concealed the existence of the mistress." "But there are two women, what's going on?" Kisaki already knew the truth about one of them, but now he didn't want to tell it. "I can't tell now. I came to the clinic just to investigate this matter. I think it might be faster to investigate the 'Woman from Setagaya' you sent first." "I don't remember the place." "Didn't you drive there yourself? Follow the same route back, don't you just remember it!" "I'm not sure." Kisaki now wants to see Oikawa Maki more to confirm her relationship with Shatian, and has no intention of helping Toyozu to investigate the "Tagaya woman".Even help comes after this.He is very worried that if the "Woman from Setagaya" is really found out, Makoto's privacy may be exposed. "Didn't you just say that if you get there, you can remember it." Fengzhu asked. "No, really not. There are many houses of the same kind." "If it's a courtyard street, it's easier to find than a shared residential area." "I'll get back to you when I remember." "Kizaki, don't cheat on food and drink!" "Cheat food and drink?" "I told you so many things for the sake of my old friend. The 'Woman of Setagaya' is the key to the cause of Shatian's death. Why don't you go and investigate with me?" . "I'll use a map to tell you the approximate location. Go there and search for people related to Shatian, and you'll meet them. I'll go with you to confirm after I find out." "Okay, I'm going to buy a map right now, and you can tell me the approximate location." Fengzhu acted immediately. Kisaki roughly pointed to the direction, got rid of Toyozuki's entanglement, and then called Oikawa's house, and Oikawa's voice rarely came from the receiver. "Oh, Miss Oikawa, I'm Kisaki." "It's Mr. Kisaki, long time no see." Masaki's voice sounded a little excited, and Kizaki heard her news often, and he didn't feel like he hadn't seen her for a long time. "Excuse me for interrupting. Do you have some time now?" Kisaki said hurriedly, omitting the greetings. "What's the matter, are you in such a hurry?" Oikawa seemed surprised. "Well, it's urgent!" "It's okay if it's 30 minutes later." "Then I'll go right away, can I still go to the teahouse a few days ago?" "Okay." "I'll take a taxi, and it will take about 30 minutes." It will take more time to travel from the city center to Masaki's suburban residence. If it takes more than 30 minutes, I'm afraid Oikawa won't be able to wait for him. Kisaki thought to himself, today, we must ask Masaki about her relationship with Zhongjingguan and Shatian, as well as her role in the death of Shatian. two When he came to the appointed teahouse, Maki was already waiting there.She seemed to come out in a hurry. She was wearing a dress she usually wears, and her face was covered with a layer of light makeup that was not easy to be noticed.This unadorned beauty is very eye-catching, giving people the same sense of intimacy and freshness that can be touched with bare feet. From this, Kisaki felt Masaki's feelings towards him, and when he asked her to come out, she hurried over.She used light clothes to make up for the desire to see each other as soon as possible and the psychological contradiction of wanting to show her beauty to men, and Kisaki gave a very self-respectful explanation. "I heard that it was urgent, so I came here in a hurry. Please don't take offense at my attire. I still have plenty of time." Masaki seemed to be quite shy about his attire. "It doesn't matter, you can wear anything. You look more beautiful without decoration!" "It's embarrassing for you to see this look." She twisted her body shyly.It was only then that Kisaki noticed that she was really wearing a pair of slippers with bare feet.Is this showing his heart to Kisaki, or looking down on him? "You said something urgent? What is it?" Masaki seemed to see what Kisaki was thinking. "Actually..." Kisaki hesitated as soon as the words came to his lips, he was really afraid that due to his unreasonable suspicion, he would lose the Oikawa Masaki who was rarely seen but who was in a happy mood at the moment. "What's wrong with you?" Masaki looked at Kisaki. "Won't you be offended no matter what I say?" "Oh, you are really interesting, why are you angry?" Masaki smiled sweetly. "Is this true?" "It's scary to see you like this. What's the matter?" "I'm very happy to be near you." "me too." "Therefore, what I am going to say is purely out of concern for you, please understand." "What's the matter!" Kisaki's nervous expression was unknowingly infected with Masaki. "That's what happened. On the night of the 17th, I went to the Asuka restaurant on the south platform of Shibuya." "To Asuka!" Under Kisaki's gaze, Masaki's expression changed obviously. "Yes. And that night, Shusaku Sunada, a prominent figure in the National Defense Agency, died of a heart attack in that restaurant." "..." "There are different legends about the cause of Shatian's death. The city was full of wind and rain. On that night, I drove a woman from Asuka to Setagaya." "Send it to Setagaya?" Maki's expression changed from surprise to curiosity. "Yes. But after I sent that woman away, another woman seems to have gone to Asuka." Kisaki stared at Masaki, implying that you should understand the meaning of my words.She avoided Kisaki's scorching gaze. "When Shusaku Shatian died, there seemed to be a mistress beside him. Not only the mistress, she was directly related to the cause of Xiusaku Shatian's death, and the one I sent away was probably the mistress. But the mistress was still there the next morning. Accepted the investigation by the police, logically speaking, she is unacceptable. Because the mistress has been sent home by me and is no longer in Asuka." Makoto's expression returned to calm, but his color was pale. "Otherwise, there was another woman who accepted the police investigation instead of the mistress. That is to say, after I sent the mistress away, the woman who came to Asuka became a substitute for the mistress." "..." "Aren't you the one acting as a stand-in?" At this point, Kisaki boldly directed the question to the core of the question. "It's me? Why do you think so?" Maki pretended to deny calmly, but his voice was powerless. "Is there evidence?" "It's a medical certificate. That night, you took a taxi near the K station, right? You went to Asuka by car, and you left the medical certificate of the Otemachi clinic in the car." "I, I..." Maki was very embarrassed. "Please forgive me, an irrelevant person, for conducting such an unwarranted investigation. It's just out of concern for you and for your sake." "Worried about me, why?" She was moved by how Kisaki cared about her so much that she didn't want to know how Kisaki knew this. "Because I suspect that Shusaku Shatian was killed." "Killed! Sure enough..." Makoto gasped. "You seem to know." Kisaki saw Makoto's reaction. "No, I don't know." "But why are you so surprised?" "Because I heard that he was killed, so..." "Honestly, I have a friend who is a reporter for a weekly magazine." "Oh……" "He got your medical certificate and is investigating the cause of Sha Tian's death." ... "He was very interested in the mistress who was with him when Sunada died, so he launched an investigation. Behind the death of Sunada, there seems to be an intricate and complicated relationship between the National Defense Agency and the trading company that often deals with it." "This has something to do with me...?" Makoto was curious and uneasy, with a complicated expression. "Maki, let's be blunt. If you were really with Sanda that night, I think they used you to do bad things. The company I work for is the same as that of Sanda and the National Defense Agency. I am the company I don’t know the inside story yet, but there must be something shady there.” "Mr. Kisaki!" Masaki, who had been in the role of being questioned, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Kisaki.Kisaki immediately flinched.Maki took a breath and asked Kisaki in a serious tone. "Mr. Kisaki, do you want to quit your current job?" "No, there is no such plan." "Since this is the case, it's better not to conduct such useless investigations into the company's internal affairs." "No, I'm not investigating, but..." "I am very grateful for your advice out of concern for me, but everyone has their own way of life. In order to survive, even if it is somewhat indecent, you have to endure it. You and I met on occasions other than life. , we should cherish it. If we meet again when we have to be patient, is it better to pretend that we don’t know each other? As for the Asuka restaurant, I have neither been nor heard of it. Mr. Kisaki, right? It’s better to be less concerned about necessary things. This is my advice from the bottom of my heart.” "Real tree!" "I should go, thank you for your concern." Masaki stood up, she was still the barefooted Masaki, but at this moment, it made people feel that she was covered with armor. Although Maki didn't say anything, she still admitted that she had a relationship with Shusaku Shata. She was indeed a receptionist. It was very painful for Kisaki to see through this point. As she said, "In order to survive, one must endure." . However, since it is confirmed that Maki is Shatian's "second mistress", who is the first mistress that Kisaki sent to Setagaya? Maki sincerely advises that "it is better not to care about unnecessary things", and there is truth in this language.Does Makoto give such advice, does it mean that unnecessary care will lead to danger? Both Kizaki and Maki are dangerous, but as long as the essence of danger is not touched, it is still safe. Mufeng was recommended by her old classmate Cunzhong to work in the management of Zhongjing, and the salary was first-class.This may include confidentiality fees for suspicious matters within the management of China Economic and Economics. If so, wouldn't it be enough to avoid the poisonous part just like eating puffer fish and just eat the harmless meat?The nutritional value of meat is high, and the taste is also beautiful. Kisaki intended to persuade Masaki, but was persuaded by Masaki instead. Kisaki's attitude caught Toyosumi's attention. When Toyosumi talked about the intertwined relationship between Shada Shusaku, the National Defense Agency, and Hishii Heavy Industries, Kisaki once showed great interest and enthusiasm, but then suddenly became not so close.When Toyozu poured out all the information, Kizaki left Fengzu immediately like a child who had eaten enough to leave the dining table.This kind of behavior really looks like a profiteering villain, so Toyozu described him as "cheating food and drinking", and Kisaki must have got some inspiration from his words. ——This kid seems to have some goals. Fengzhu immediately understood.This is professionally honed agility.He immediately decided to follow Kisaki.Fengzhu subconsciously felt that there must be a secret hidden in Kisaki's residence. Fengzhu pretended to break up with Kisaki, but secretly kept staring at him. As expected, after Kisaki and Toyozumi broke up, they found a place to hang up, then hurriedly hailed a taxi and left. The car deftly avoided the congested streets and headed for the suburbs.After exercising for about 30 minutes, Kisaki got out of the car.Fengzhu found that this place is near the K station.At this moment he has realized something.Kisaki went into a teahouse near the station, and Toyozu wanted to follow in, but the teahouse was too small, so he had to wait outside.The teahouse has no windows, and the door is made of deep colored glass, so you can't see the scene inside the shop.So it's not clear who Kisaki is dating.Toyozu waited restlessly, and about an hour later, Kisaki came out.He stood at the door of the tea house, staring blankly at the back of a woman who came out before him with his mouth open.Feng Zhu immediately understood that the woman was his mistress. Kisaki watched the woman go away with great nostalgia, and then walked to the automatic ticket vending machine at the station.After Fengzhu saw Kisaki walking towards the station, he turned around and chased after the leaving woman. Fengzhu's target finally caught the woman.Dressed in everyday clothes and slippers.The unmodified figure is enough to arouse a man's imagination.It can be seen from the dress that she lives nearby. After a while, the woman walked into a small apartment in a fashionable prefabricated structure. At this time, Oikawa Masaki—this name, as if suddenly illuminated by a light at night, appeared vividly in Toyozu's mind. Yes, the owner of the medical certificate, Kawa Masaki, boarded a taxi near the K station to go to Asuka.This woman must be Oikawa Maki.After a while, Fengzhu walked into the apartment and found the number plate of "Oikawa" on a door inside the second floor. Fengzhu finally found out the residence of Shatian's mistress (the first?).Now that she knew where she lived, it was not difficult to find out her identity and occupation. However, after knowing where Oikawa Maki lives, another mystery arises: How did Kisaki meet her?At this time, he understood the change in Kisaki's attitude when he met Kisaki. It was because of his own negligence that he failed to see that his attitude must have changed when he heard Oikawa Masaki's name. The problem is that Kisaki rushed to meet her immediately after hearing Oikawa Maki's name.Maybe Kisaki was surprised when he heard that Masaki might be Shatian's mistress, so he came here to confront Masaki directly? Fengzhu decided to go back to the magazine to report to the editor-in-chief. After hearing the report, the editor-in-chief said, "It's very interesting. It seems that there were two mistresses before and after Shatian's death. If Oikawa Masaki was the second mistress, he would like to know more about the original , no, who is the real mistress." "Already know the general location, I think it will be cleared up soon." "If only your friend Kisaki could cooperate." "Try to get him to cooperate." "You're quite confident. Judging from the situation you introduced, Kisaki may be under some kind of pressure from the Shatian faction. In that case, he won't open his mouth." "Kizaki owes me a favor." "In addition, if Oikawa Masaki is a substitute for Shatian's mistress, then the real mistress has privacy that should not reveal her identity." The editor-in-chief correctly deduced the role of the second mistress. "She is the object of death in Shatian's belly, so she naturally wants to hide it." "Even so, an average woman wouldn't think of hiring a high-class prostitute as a stand-in, and even if she did, it would be unlikely to be associated with a high-class prostitute." "Whether Oikawa Masaki is a high-class prostitute is still unclear." "Do you think an ordinary woman can be a stand-in for someone who dies in the belly?" "...So, Shatian's mistress is also a famous person." "I was wondering if Oikawa Masaki knew who he was acting as a substitute for." "I probably don't know, she was just hired by someone." "That's all right," said the editor, uncharacteristically vague. "What did you find?" "Suppose Oikawa Masaki knew the real mistress and made a substitute for her. Then if the employer finds out that the magazine is eyeing her, will it be troublesome?" "Well, probably." "If you were Oikawa Maki's employer, what would you do?" "Gag her without a doubt. Keep her silent." "Then, what if it's unreliable?" "Well... by the way, hide her." "That's right. Therefore, we can't let his client know that we have noticed Oikawa Maki, and we should take a secret action." The editor-in-chief finished giving orders, but he didn't relax.Behind his clouded expression, Toyozu sensed some kind of danger.
