Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen The Police's Omissions

The days passed day by day, and there was no chance to assassinate Kakuya.August is over, and half of September is over.The long-awaited news from Yamagata was finally delivered by Hamano. "I've kept you waiting for too long, you must be in a hurry, right?" Hamano's comfort made Yamagata feel very kind. "there is nothing." "It's really annoying! To be honest, I'm also impatient. It's like a winter bear, stuck in the den and unable to get out. But, it's not in vain. It's about to attack." "Is it the Black House Club again?"

"This time it's the Angel Nightclub in Akasaka. Sally has moved from Ginza to Akasaka. The Angel Nightclub doesn't have the influence of the Taiyokai system. You can go there from tomorrow night. Your seat is ready." "When will Kakuya come, don't you know?" "Come on the night of October 8. Before that, they will conduct a pre-inspection to ensure safety. On that day, strict precautions must be taken against strangers." "Are you telling me to go in and lurk in advance?" Yamagata felt a great shock in his heart.The killer was originally a death squad. If he was in ambush outside the house like in the Black House Club, he would still have a chance to escape after the action.

However, if you act in the house, even if you succeed, you will be surrounded by bodyguards and you will be caught without a fight.The probability of survival was doomed beforehand to be zero. "Normal guests of the Angel Club can enter. This is the condition that can be used. Because of this, the enemy must be very vigilant, and they must not be indifferent. Because they are inside the house, they will not be attacked by the flower seller like last time. Interference. I will definitely collect the corpse for you, so you don't have to worry about the future." Hamano's words, how ruthless!

"Understood, I'm going to the Angel Nightclub tonight." Bored in the room with nothing to do, it is better to go to the nightclub to conduct reconnaissance and prepare for the assassination of Kakaya. "No, forget it tonight, go tomorrow. There is a special gift for you tonight." "Special gift?" "I'll send it to you in a while. It's your sweetheart. Be careful not to get too tired." There seemed to be a smile in Hamano's voice.At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Okay, goodbye." After Hamano finished speaking, he put down the microphone.Yamagata hurried to open the door.When he opened the door, he was stunned.The bright colors flashed before his eyes, and a warm and gentle body threw itself into his arms.

"Mayumi!" As soon as Yamagata called Mayumi's name, her lips blocked his.Both of them seem to have met the oasis spring when they were extremely thirsty.Busy curing each other's thirst before talking.After the two kissed for a while, they began to talk. "How do you know I'm here?" "A man named Hamano told me." Only then did Yamagata understand what Hamano meant by the special gift. "Aren't the police following you?" "Didn't you watch TV? Tiantian was killed. The surveillance of me has lost its meaning." Although the two of them didn't explain the whole situation, the other party immediately understood this kind of skip talk.This is because they have understood each other silently in their cohabitation life.

"You said Tiantian was killed?!" When Yamagata heard that Amada had been killed, he couldn't help being stunned.Because he watches too much TV, his eyes are shaking, so he doesn't watch TV much recently. "It said it was killed about two months ago, in an apartment in Shinjuku. So the police withdrew from me." "Who killed Tian Tian?" "Then I don't know. There are many people who hate him. Even I wanted to kill him several times." "So we can live together." Yamagata thought, it would be better to ask Mayumi to come to him than to tell him to go back to the apartment.

"Mr. Hamano said that the police may suspect that Tiantian was killed by you. He also said that it is better for you not to go back for the time being." "Why should I kill Amada?" "I'm sorry, he said you might be jealous of my old man. I'm ashamed of having such a man. I feel sorry for you, but what can I do!" "Oh, that's the way it is. I don't envy him. It's enough to have you now and in the future. I don't care about the past!" "That's great, I'm yours alone, as it is, and as it will be, until I die."

"Me, too." They hugged each other warmly again, talking while hugging.After finishing speaking, he entered the state of having sex with men and women. Hamano's opinion was correct. No matter what Yamagata said he didn't mind about Mayumi's past, the police probably wouldn't think about it that way.The idea that infatuation with a woman begets resentment against a third person is banal, but it does exist. At such a time, it might be safer for Yamagata not to return to the apartment.It would be even worse if he was summoned by the police when he was lurking and preparing to assassinate Kakaya.

Moreover, if the situation in Yamagata is grasped by the police, there is a danger of attracting the attention of Taiyo. Hamano took the risk to give Mayumi as a gift to Yamagata. It was a farewell farewell for Yamagata before he was shot into the enemy line as a hopeless shell.It's like a last feast for a condemned prisoner. The difference is that the condemned prisoners had no appetite before death, but Yamagata was hungry.For the big food that was given to him, he would eat it all without leaving even a small bone.The one who is eaten is also willing. Yamagata has become a regular at the Angel nightclub since the second night.It was one of the top nightclubs in the Akasaka area, with a marble dance floor in the center surrounded by box seats.There are often performances on the dance floor, and the guests enjoy dancing with the waitresses.There are four pillars covered with gold leaf at the four corners of the ballroom, which radiate glittering golden light with the rotation of the glass ball.

It's really a first-class nightclub, and the hostesses here are one by one.Kakutani's obsessed Sally is the front waitress here, who was poached from the Black House Club with a lot of money. In Yamagata's eyes, she was not very beautiful, but she had the charm to attract men, and she belonged to the type that men liked.After she came to the Angel Nightclub, she became very popular, and her status rose rapidly, and she might rise to number one (front row) in a short time. After entering and exiting the Angel Nightclub in Yamagata, several well-known people came here several times together and asked for Sally by name.But they didn't dance or sing karaoke, just had a drink with Sally and left.

They sometimes glance around with unusual eyes, they are the detectives of the Ocean Society.Even though Yamagata hadn't revealed his identity yet, he broke out in a cold sweat when their eyes shot at him. Tsuguro Kiryu was outraged when he was summoned to search the headquarters.At first he thought he was asking him to help solve the case, so he went happily. However, the other party's conversation was hesitant and his attitude was very unclear. Later, he found that the other party was doubting himself.It was with the help of Kiryu that Amada was dug out, but now he suspects that he killed Amada. Did they really think there was such a murderer?That is: kill someone yourself, and then tell the police the name of the murdered person.I couldn't find anyone to be suspicious of, but I started to suspect me instead. It's really revenge.Kiryu, already irritated by the missed opportunity to avenge Nami himself, is now dealt another blow. After Kiryu returned from the search of the headquarters, his anger had not completely subsided.It seems that the police authorities do not really think that Kiryu is the murderer, and they also sympathize with his mood and situation when Nami was killed.But it is true that he was once regarded as the person who had the motive to kill Amada. Kiryu poured out the resentment that had nowhere to vent on Kihara Godko. "Isn't the police just suspicious of you?" Even the godson's words were a bit biased towards the police. "You said that too?!" Kiryu was annoyed. "Don't contradict me like this, okay? You are also a police officer, so you should understand that you are the one who hates Tiantian the most." "But I didn't kill him. I reported his name to the police as evidence." "The police have also taken this into consideration, and are just asking you to understand the situation." "For me, I feel wronged by the slightest suspicion." "But from the standpoint of the police, you can't ignore it. When you saw Miss Nami's miserable body, you hated the murderer, right?" "Of course, if you cut him into pieces, you won't let go of your hatred." "You see, is that the case?" "Of course I can't be indifferent!" The godson's words calmed Kiryu's mood. "But, who killed Amada and Kumazawa?" "The search of the headquarters seems to be considering another line that has nothing to do with Ms. Nami's incident." Kiryu said. "But, apart from Ms. Nami, there are no other clues related to both Amada and Kumazawa!" said the godson. "I think so." "Mr. Xiong Ze disappeared after you hid him. I always feel that this is the key to this incident." "Xiong Ze's disappearance is the key?..." "Precisely, where he went." "You mean he went somewhere on purpose? And left all his things and money with me." "When you were away, he thought of a place to go. He wanted to go and come back right away. So he called the other party, and the other party told him to go right away. He ran out without taking anything. " "At that time, there was a high possibility that Amada had been killed. Even if he was still alive, Kumazawa didn't know where he lived, or even that he existed," Kiryu said. "I don't think he's looking for Tiantian." "Who is that?" "Ah, here's the key. It seems to be right in front of my eyes, but I can't see it. I can see it, but it's also in the blind spot of my eyes." "Blind spot? Is the place where Kumazawa's body was found a blind spot?" "Yes. The so-called blind spot is the invisible place within the field of vision. If the New Oriental Hotel is within the field of vision, then it is under the eyes of people." Godson said. "Are you saying the murderer is right under people's noses?" "That's right, saw him from the beginning, but turned a blind eye." "Is there such a person?" "Let's review how the incident happened. First, around midnight on June 15, you heard Miss Nami's shout and went to her room to see what was going on." "At this time, I was beaten by the robber and passed out on the ground. The robber killed Nami and escaped on Nami's bicycle." "The murderer Amada threw his bicycle in front of the Shoto apartment in Belheim and walked into Mayumi's room. At this moment, Mr. Kumazawa just came out of Mayumi's room and rode away on the bicycle that Amada threw away." Godko said. "When Amada committed the crime, Kumazawa was in Hibino Mayumi's room. He could not have killed Nami. But he was suspected of killing Nami because he rode Nami's bicycle. Knowing this, Amada ordered Mayumi to refuse to excuse Kumazawa's absence. Testified at the scene of the crime. Later, Mayumi went to Amada because she was afraid of washing her hands and becoming a prostitute in the apartment." Kiryu said. "However, Amada has moved away. The room he lived in is occupied by a photographer named Yamagata." "So Mayumi lived in Yamagata in the form of semi-cohabitation. The police seem to have doubts about Yamagata. But Yamagata has no criminal record." "In this way, Mayumi, Amada, and Yamagata form a triangular relationship. However, there is no relationship between Yamagata and Kumazawa." "It seems that because of this, Yamagata was able to escape the circle of suspicion." "Then, there is another person who is involved with both Kumazawa and Amada, who is he?" Godson asked. "Is Mayumi not suspicious?" "Mayumi has something to do with both Yamagata and Amada. Amada is indeed an obstacle to Mayumi and Yamagata's love. But what hinders Mr. Kumazawa to her?" "Didn't Xiong Ze keep asking her to prove that he wasn't at the scene of the crime? What's more, she was being splinted between Tiantian and Xiong Ze." "What a poor reasoning. Besides, can a woman do such a murderous thing?" "Yamagata can help her." "It doesn't make sense to ask her current man to help her get rid of her past man, and to use a pistol on Kumazawa and a hammer on Amada?" asked the godson. "In order to pretend to be two unrelated incidents, did they deliberately use different crime tools?" "However, I think it is impossible for Mayumi and Yamagata to kill Kumazawa-san and Amada for the sake of being together," Godko said. "yes?" "Let's think about what Kumazawa-san and Amada have in common. The Nami-san incident, I can hardly say there is Hibino Mayumi, ... and ..." The godson seemed to remember something. "What else?" "Didn't the two of them come to the door of the Songtao apartment in Belheim at almost the same time? Could it have something to do with that incident?" "The incident?" "Didn't the leader of the gang be assassinated? This caused an uproar at the time. The two of them came there at the same time, so it can be said that they have something in common," Godson said. "Are you saying that it has something to do with the murder of the gang leader?" "I dare not say it now, but two people came there at the same time..." "However, the leader of the gang was killed after Kumazawa left, and he said he didn't know about that incident," Kiryu said. "What about Amada? Since Kumazawa rode the bicycle that Amada threw away, it can be seen that Amada came there before him." "If he came first, he would be farther away from the incident." "When Amada came there, Kumazawa was still in Mayumi's room. Amada had to wait outside for Kumazawa to come out. If he saw that Kumazawa left before going to Mayumi's place, he might have seen the scene when the incident happened. situation." said the godson. "Tiantian saw the situation when the assassination happened, so what?" "If Tiantian saw the whole process of the incident, would anyone think it was not good for him?" "Who is it bad for?" "Maybe there is another truth to the incident." "Another truth?" "The leader of the Sonezaki group was shot and killed by the killer of the hostile gang, and the killer was shot back by the leader's bodyguard on the spot, isn't that right?" "That's how it was reported." "Although it was reported that way, the actual situation may not be that way. There were no reporters present at the time." "The person who was at the scene at the time was the bodyguard and the mistress of the leader." "It was reported based on the words of the two of them." "Are you saying they're not telling the truth?" "I don't know about that. However, if they want to tell lies, they can do it, because there are only the two of them there, and the rest are dead people. Dead people can't corroborate it." Godson said. "Why do they need to tell lies?" "If the facts are different from the reports, they are telling lies. If the truthful reporting is not good for them, they may tell lies." "Your words are really incomprehensible, how can it be against them?" "I seem to understand a little bit. If the bodyguard and the leader's mistress are telling lies, then the witnesses who happen to be there at the time will know that they are telling lies." The godson said. "That's Tiantian." "And Mr. Kumazawa." "Didn't the incident happen after Kumazawa left there?" "The question is not whether Mr. Xiong Ze really saw what happened. If the two people who are telling lies feel that Xiong Ze saw it, it means that he really saw it." The godson said. "So the bodyguard and the boss' mistress killed Amada and Kumasawa, right?" "I can't say for sure yet, but..." "But, the bodyguard and the boss's mistress don't know where Amada and Kumazawa live?" "That's the problem." The godson's expression seemed to suddenly recall something. "Tell me what's going on." "I know where Mr. Xiong Ze is going." "Are you saying his disappearance is the key to solving the case?" "Mayumi Hibino refused to provide Kumazawa with an alibi. But, I just remembered, he still has a witness." "He has another witness?" "Yes. When he came out of Mayumi's room, didn't he pass someone at the gate?" "At the gate?... Is that the bodyguard and driver?" "Yes, if the bodyguard provided proof that he passed by Xiong Ze at the gate, the defense that Xiong Ze was not at the scene of the crime can be established." "Really? Did Xiong Ze go to find that bodyguard?" "It's very likely." "Does the bodyguard think Xiong Ze is a witness to the incident?" "Yes, when Xiong Ze went to look for him, he might have mistakenly thought that he was trying to intimidate him." "Then, what's going on with Amada?" "Tiantian actually witnessed the whole process of the incident from the beginning to the end. He knew that the report was inaccurate. He may have really tried to intimidate the bodyguard. That scoundrel Tiantian can do such a thing." Godson said. "But how did he find the bodyguard?" "It's not difficult to find him as long as you contact Sonezaki Guichi. The bodyguard originally thought that no one knew the truth of the incident, but suddenly a witness came out, which surprised him. So he decided to get rid of this witness." "Did Tiantian go to intimidate the bodyguards, but was killed by the bodyguards instead?" "The opponent is too formidable. Tiantian is an egg hitting a rock and killing himself." "If Amada and Xiong Ze are not murdered, what about the truth of the incident?" "It must be exactly the opposite of what has been reported. If the truth were to come out, it would probably be very bad for the bodyguards and the mistress of the leader." "If the bodyguard is the murderer, is he familiar with the geographical situation of the New Oriental Hotel?" "In the New Oriental Hotel, there is indeed an office of the gang that the killer belongs to." "What use is an office of a hostile force to a bodyguard?" "Is it really a hostile force?" There seemed to be something in the godson's words. "What do you say?" "As far as gangs are concerned, yesterday's enemies can become today's friends. Conversely, today's enemies may be yesterday's friends. The gang's power map can change at any time like a cat's eye." "That's right, the Sonezaki Group and the Ocean Society were originally an organization. After the death of the original leader, Tasho Yohei, they were divided into two organizations." "So, the bodyguards of the killed leader Ohara and Ming may have entered and exited the office where the killer stayed. It is not surprising that he knows the situation of the New Oriental Hotel." Godson said. "Is that so?" "There are more important things than that!" "What is that?" "It's the method of attack that is different." "Are you talking about the method of killing Amada and Kumazawa?" "Probably changed the method deliberately, so that people can see that it was not done by one person." "How to change the method?" "I'm saying that killing a leader is different from killing a killer," said the godson. "Boss and killer?" "First the killer killed the leader with a pistol, and then the bodyguard stabbed the killer to death with a knife. Is that so?" "That's how it was reported." "I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but later I felt something was wrong. Don't you think it's strange?" "yes?" "First, as a bodyguard, why doesn't he have a pistol on him? Second, when the bodyguard assassinates the killer, does the killer honestly let the killer be stabbed to death? It is said that the leader was shot twice in the body, so the killer's pistol , there should be bullets. Why didn't he shoot when the bodyguard approached him?" "Probably the leader and the bodyguards just came back from the wedding, so they didn't have a pistol with them. You can check to see if there are any bullets in the gun. Maybe it was used up before the bodyguards counterattacked." "Why didn't the killer run away before the bodyguard counterattacked? After the professional killer finished shooting, he ran away immediately. In the movie, he also ran away after firing the gun. There are many shots from inside the running car Shots were fired. The killer was stabbed in the chest, not in the back as he fled." "The movie is different from reality. For example, the bodyguard pretended to be shot and lay on the ground at the same time as the leader. When the killer stepped forward to check, he stabbed the assassin to death with a knife. Is this possible?" "If the killer went to investigate, he would definitely go there vigilantly with a pistol in his hand. I think there is another possibility that is more reasonable." The godson said. "What possibility? Tell me." "I think we should investigate whether there were any remaining bullets in the pistol at that time, whether the bodyguard was related to the leader's mistress, and the specific circumstances when the bodyguard fought back against the killer." "You mean the chief's mistress has anything to do with the bodyguard?" "I doubt it. If the two of them were related, they might have conspired to conspire to fabricate eyewitness testimony." "True, true. You mean Kumasawa and Amada were both present at the scene." The search of the headquarters was not without consideration: Kazuaki Ohara's bodyguard Takatoshi Hamano could also prove that Tatsuo Kumazawa was not at the scene of the crime where Nami Shimura was killed.The search headquarters has already interrogated Takashi Hamano, who said he has no impression of Kumazawa. According to Kiryu and Godko's analysis, Hamano may have denied seeing Kumasawa because he was worried that Kumasawa and Amada had witnessed the real situation at the scene.And this new opinion of Kiryu (the godson) is exactly what was overlooked by the search headquarters.Although Hamano was in the field of vision of the search headquarters, he did not have any doubts about him. From the view of the search headquarters, the killing of the leader of the Sonezaki group and the killings of Shimura Nami, Kumazawa Tatsuo, and Amada Hiroshi were different. related events. If the search headquarters had doubts about Hamano, these four cases would be connected; it would not be surprising to regard these as related incidents. The question is, the situation at the scene of the incident was seen by Kumazawa and Amada, why is it not good for Hamano.After the team leader was assassinated, Hamano concealed his whereabouts.Now he is on bail and his residence is restricted, but no one in their group knows his whereabouts.Except for the big cadres, I am afraid no one knows. If the person who killed Kumazawa and Amada was Hamano, how did they get in touch?Hamano is still on bail. If he does not go when he is summoned, his bail will be cancelled.Although Kiryu couldn't accept all of Kiryu's opinions, but the killer's pistol still had five unused bullets.With five bullets left in the pistol, the killer obediently let Hamano stab him to death. Regarding this point, during the investigation afterwards, Hamano said that the killer looked dazed after the shooting.He was stabbed to death before he was allowed to escape. The police believed that the killer was a young man eager to commit crimes, and he might be in a panic when he was assassinating a big shot for the first time.Therefore, they believed Hamano's words and did not pursue further. But what if the killer hadn't been flustered and panicked? "Is it because the bodyguard and the killer colluded with each other?" One person said.The venue of the search meeting immediately erupted into commotion. "Is the killer brought by Hamano?" "This possibility is not impossible. At the same time, if Hamano is a traitor, it would not be surprising if he knows the geographical situation of the New Oriental Hotel where the enemy's office is located." "If Hamano is a traitor, why did he kill the killer?" "Probably because he didn't want to expose his role as a mole." "Is there such a traitor?" "It's nothing to kill one or two killers. For the Ocean Society, keeping Hamano in the Sonezaki group as a traitor is much more beneficial than losing one or two killers." "However, it is said that the team leader was assassinated and killed accompanied by Hamano. Therefore, Hamano was held accountable and canceled his status as the assistant of Wakado. Now he has sneaked into the ground and is waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the leader of the Ocean Society." "This statement has not been confirmed. Maybe he pretended to assassinate the enemy, but in fact he wanted to get rid of the new leader of his own organization! In short, the direction of these people is fickle. " "Supposing Hamano colluded with the enemy and was seen by Kumazawa and Amada, why is it against him?" "Probably because they are afraid that they will see the collusion between him and the killer!" "That's true. When the team leader was assassinated, if the scene of the bodyguard and the killer talking cordially together was seen, the bodyguard's collaborating with the enemy would be exposed." "However, he stabbed the killer to death on the spot, so he can always prevaricate it! For example, he can say that he and the killer are acquaintances, but he didn't expect it to be the killer, so he was careless..." "Call Hamano to ask questions." "The person is dead, so there's no way to testify. Hamano won't tell the truth." "There is still a breakthrough." This breakthrough was also prompted by Kiryu.Mamiko Yanase, the mistress of the victim Kazuaki Ohara, was also a witness at the scene of the assassination.She was the third witness against Hamano.Xiong Ze and Tian Tian were both killed, but she was safe and sound.That suggests she might be an accomplice. If it is confirmed that Hamano is suspected of killing Ohara, he can be arrested again as a suspect in another case. The police station decided to summon Hamano Takatoshi and Yanase Mamiko.But Hamano's whereabouts are unknown.Because, although he was on bail, his residence was not restricted.When asked about the people in his group, they all pretended not to know. People who are released on bail have to be restricted in residence.If you change your address arbitrarily, your bail can be canceled as a violation of bail regulations.At this time, it was decided to investigate Hamano's whereabouts.If he refuses the police summons, his bail will be cancelled, and he will be arrested again for investigation. Also, as a result of investigations into Mamiko Yanase, something unexpected was discovered.She is a distant relative of Hamano, and Hamano hooked her up, so she became Ohara's mistress.But no one in the Zenezaki group knew about this situation.
