killer's lament 森村诚一 6379Words 2018-03-21
today is Thursday.That night, the Angel Nightclub was particularly lively. So-called weekend night events are moving from Friday to Thursday.Because, to get the most out of Saturday, people go home early on Friday night. Because the trendy show will start tonight, before the show starts, there are already no empty seats. Only the VIP seats near the performance stage remained empty, which was literally reserved for dignitaries. Yamagata found a seat where he could see the VIP seats most clearly, and waited anxiously for Kakutani's arrival. "It's so crowded and the VIP seats are empty. Is His Majesty the Emperor coming?"

Yamagata said to the waitress Hiromi nonchalantly.Recently, Yamagata pretended to like her and wanted to visit her two or three times a week.The two of them are getting along very hotly, and it seems possible to agree to ask her to stay in a hotel. "Well, there is someone more fearsome than the emperor who comes to us!" Hiromi said very seriously. "What did you say?" Yamagata said with a wry smile. "No one is allowed to tell outsiders in the store. I'll just tell you, Ah-San. It's Kakutani Hideki coming! It's the big boss of the Ocean Club..."

"Ocean Society? It was split from the Sonezaki Group... After the assassination of the leader of the Sonezaki Group, the two factions fought against each other. Is that the Ocean Society?" Yamagata's expression pretended to be very surprised. "Yes, it would be great if someone called Sonezaki-gumi found out! Ashan, you are not the killer of the Sonezaki-gumi, are you?" "It's hard to say!" "Ah Shan won't be that kind of person, he doesn't smell like a hooligan at all." "What else does a rogue smell like?" "Yes, it smells like fried beans, delicious."

"The smell of hooligans is still fragrant?" "The fragrance is very fragrant, but if you are not careful, it will fly towards you with a bang. It is that kind of smell." "Is it the smell of gunpowder?" "Aren't my words too ridiculous?" Hiromi suddenly froze, causing Yamagata to laugh.This is good, and the tension in Yamagata has been relieved. Even Hiromi, who has worked as a waitress for many years, didn't see Yamagata's flaws. It seems that the true face of his Sonezaki-gumi killer will probably not be seen through. It was almost ten o'clock.The show is about to begin.It seems to be a large-scale performance invited from Las Vegas, the casino city of the United States.Famous people who had seen on TV appeared at the guest table, as well as many foreigners, and some guests with their female companions.

All the guests are well-dressed, and there are many young guests like Yamagata, and some of them look like young upstarts. There was commotion in the guest table.Yamagata thought it was Kakutani coming, and was very nervous.At this time, the room darkened, and four gigolos stepped onto the stage under the spotlight, performing an erotic dance with their well-proportioned and nearly naked bodies, like a mixed dance of tango, ballet, and new gymnastics.The gestures of men and women are very wanton and lewd, coupled with the sensational music, making the atmosphere even more obscene. "It's an erotic dance!"

Hiromi whispered to Yamagata in a lewd voice, but the VIP seats were still empty.Yamagata was anxious.Is Kakuya not coming tonight?Is the information inaccurate? If he continues to be so nervous tomorrow night, his spirit will collapse, and if he comes for several nights in a row, it will make people suspicious.At his age, two or three times a week is more than enough.The fee was paid by Hamano, which must have been considerable. The dancers changed their partners and danced harder and harder.The man stripped the tulle clothing off the already nearly naked woman.That way of escape is ingenious.The women put on a charming and coquettish posture to make the men take off.

"I can't stand it!" Hiromi sighed and glanced at Yamagata.Her eyes were flushed with blood. At this moment, Yamagata suddenly forgot the purpose of coming here and stared at the stage intently.The spotlight suddenly went out as the man took off the last layer of clothing on the woman. When the lights came on again... the audience was in an uproar.At this time, Yamagata let out a scream. I don't know when the VIP seats were full of people.The protagonist sits in the middle, and five short, dapper people with different looks sit around.Needless to say, this is the Ocean Club's one-to-ten bodyguards.

Jiaogu sits with his back to the pillar, his sweetheart Sally is on the right, and bodyguards are on the left, right and in front.His left and right hands, Uchino and Kawamura, guarded the left and right sides, and the other three bodyguards were all directly related, needless to say. Each bodyguard is accompanied by a waitress on the left side, this is to ensure that the right hand can move freely in case of an assassin attack.They looked as if they were enjoying the performance, but they were actually watching the auditorium warily. Yamagata was about fifteen meters away from Kakutani's seat, so it had to be shortened by at least another five meters.

But how to shorten the distance of five meters without arousing the suspicion of the bodyguards?The erotic dance on stage is reaching its climax.Sensational music and lighting, as well as the excellent acting skills of the dancers, immerse the entire audience in a warm atmosphere. Yamagata wanted to get five meters closer to Kakutani.If he were to shoot now, he might hit the waitress and risk hurting other unrelated spectators.Unfortunately, the toilets are in the opposite direction.However, this is the seat closest to the VIP seats among the ordinary seats. Hibino Mayumi's extremely eager voice came from the phone:

"Miss Godson, please help me!" "What's the matter?" "Yamagata is about to be killed!" "Calm down. Where is Yamagata now?" "Mostly at the Angel Nightclub in Akasaka, where he often goes lately." "Is the head of a hostile organization going there?" "I don't know when to go, it seems like I'm going tonight." "How did you know?" "I guessed based on his appearance. He told me that he was not suitable for me, and he hoped that I would be happy when he was gone... something like that. I asked him if he wanted to act tonight, and he said it might not be today. , the enemy is not sure when to go. He wants me to be mentally prepared."

"Is it Angel Nightclub in Akasaka?" "What should I do?!" "Go to the Angel Nightclub now, and I'll go with you too." Godson encourages Mayumi.After putting down the phone, he immediately called Kiryu, and after telling Kiryu what Mayumi said, Kiryu said: "The police are watching Yamagata. I think the police will stop him. Anyway, let's go. Once Yamagata sees Mayumi in front of his eyes, he may change his mind before the police stop him. Hamano's painting skin has been peeled off I want to tell Yamagata the true face of Hamano. That way, he won't have to show any affection for Hamano." "Is Hamano really a traitor?" "It's basically consistent with your reasoning. Hamano and Ohara's mistress conspired to kill Ohara and the Taiyokai's killers. Hamano has a hatred for the Sonezaki group. Ohara's mistress made a confession at the search headquarters just now. I'm about to When I told you, you called." "Tell Mayumi right away," said the godson. "Tell Yamagata first." "I want to go to the Angel Nightclub right away, will you come with me too?" said the godson. "You are too polite." "Then, come on." "Don't say 'then'." "You do it." "Go now, if you don't want me to go, I will go too." "Why would I not want to?" "Then, I'll go." "Don't say 'then'." "yes?" When the two of them talked lately, it was always affectionate. The dance is almost obscene, but because the actors are all beautiful and their dancing skills are very sophisticated, they don't look so obscene.The audience is attracted by the stage. Even Kakutani seems to have forgotten that he is the assassination target of the Sonezaki-gumi, enjoying the performance with relish.The bodyguards also focused their attention on the stage. Yamagata thought "It's time", and stood up quietly. Hiromi asked: "Where are you going?" "Ah, go to the bathroom." "The toilet is over there." When Hiromi talked too much, Yamagata had no choice but to turn his body towards the toilet. At this time, he suddenly came up with a good idea.When you come back from the toilet, walk straight forward, close to the horn valley, and you can achieve success in one fell swoop.When he thought of this, he suddenly said: "Hongmei, come here, I'm a little sick, and I can't stand on my feet." "Oh, what's the matter with you? Is it all right?" Hiromi stood up and supported Yamagata.The bodyguard took a look, because they were facing the toilet, so they didn't care.To give the bodyguard the impression that when he came back from the toilet, he could pretend to have taken the wrong seat, walk straight forward and shoot at Diagonal Valley.With Hiromi at his side, the enemy may be negligent.In this way, Hiromi might be affected, but at this time, he had no choice but to let it go. As soon as Yamagata entered the toilet, he pulled himself together, opened the safety of the weapon, took a deep breath, and said to himself: "The time has come."He walked out of the toilet and Hiromi was waiting for him.He asked Hiromi to go ahead, and the two walked towards Kakuya.The bodyguard took another look at them, thinking that they had come back from the toilet and were not particularly vigilant. Yamagata ordered himself: "The time has come, go straight ahead!" "Don't go any further!" Mayumi's voice reached Yamagata's ears.Startled, Yamagata stopped and stood still.At this time, a man whispered to him in a low voice: "Ohara was killed by Hamano, you can't avenge Hamano and send him to death!" "what?" When Yamagata was surprised, Mayumi rushed forward. "Mayumi, you, why are you here..." "You can't go, you were tricked by Hamano!" "Anyway, let's go, the police have surrounded you, you can't do such stupid things." The young man who came with Mayumi whispered to Yamagata.Yamagata felt as if he had seen him somewhere, but couldn't remember it all at once.However, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was lost again.The moment Yamagata was about to strike, Mayumi suddenly appeared in front of him, and Yamagata was stunned. Yamagata was held by Mayumi and walked out of the nightclub.At this time, a MKI car drove over, and Hamano was sitting in the driver's seat.He seemed to think that Yamagata had successfully escaped from the assassination, and gestured with his jaw to tell him to get in the car quickly. At this moment, several criminal policemen disguised as passers-by quickly opened the doors on both sides of the car, pointed their pistols at Hamano and said: "You are Takashi Hamano. You have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Here is the arrest warrant." One produced a warrant, and another quickly handcuffed Hamano.Another detective, expertly searching Yamagata's body, disarmed him. "You also come with us, as a current criminal who violates the gun and knife management law." When the latent investigators were about to stop Yamagata, Mayumi stepped in, causing Yamagata to be arrested before committing the murder, so it did not constitute the crime of attempted murder.Although it was a disadvantage to open the safety of the pistol, he did not point the gun at others, so it is difficult to determine that it was a "killing act" against a specific person. Because Yamagata has no criminal record, but only violated the gun and knife management law, the crime is probably very light. Mayumi and Kiryu told Yamagata the truth, completely destroying Yamagata's past values.Yamagata didn't believe it at first.It is said that after Hamano killed Ohara, he planned to assassinate Kakutani, the leader of the hostile organization, which made Yamagata suddenly unbelievable. However, since I heard it was confessed by Ohara's mistress, I had no choice but to believe it.Yamagata originally thought he was a meaningful killer for the sake of gaining popularity, but in fact he became a tool for Hamano's personal revenge. "It doesn't matter, anyway, I want to serve Mr. Hamano." Yamagata said. "You should be sober!" Kiryu scolded him. "What did Hamano do for you? He raised you like a dog. You want to give up your most precious life for meaningless loyalty! This is wrongly judged loyalty!" "The righteousness of wrong judgment?" "Either the judgment was wrong, or you were deceived. It was Mayumi who saved your life at the critical moment. If she didn't save you, either your body was beaten into a hornet's nest by Kakutani's bodyguards, or you lived in prison for a long time. You can't thank Mayumi enough!" "What should I do?" "You don't have to do anything. Violating the gun and knife management law is not a big deal. For the Sonezaki group, it is nothing at all without a person like you who is under three strokes. I'm afraid they don't even know that there is such a person as you. Kakutani They didn't know you were a killer, and went back after watching the show without incident. You didn't do anything. Stop dreaming and go back to Mayumi." After Kiryu's enlightenment, Yamagata felt like waking up from a dream.At this time Mayumi stepped forward and hugged him, saying: "Don't go anywhere from now on!" "Not going anywhere." Yamagata couldn't help hugging Mayumi's warm and soft body. "It's good that I'm not late! Otherwise we'd be orphans and widows." Mayumi said softly.Yamagata was taken aback. "What did you just say?" "I said that they would become orphans and widows." "You mean..." Yamagata's expression was full of joy. "Yes, it's been three months." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" "I'm afraid you will leave me as soon as I say it, and I don't want to affect your fight for success at work. But after I heard that Mr. Kiryu and Ms. Godko exposed Hamano's true colors, I felt that I couldn't let you do it. I didn't come too late Good night." "That's right!" Only then did Yamagata really wake up from the nightmare. Hamano was escorted to the search headquarters.He seemed to have given up his mind and confessed all his crimes readily.His confession is largely the same as that of Yanase Mamiko. It's just that he said that he didn't want to deceive and take advantage of Yamagata.He said: "I love Yamagata as much as I love my younger brother. My younger brother joined the gangsters when he was in high school. During the gang runaway, he was dispersed by the police with wooden sticks and died due to driving errors. All of my family's property was taken over by the Sonezaki group. Both parents committed suicide. From now on, instead of relying on the police, I am determined to take revenge on my own. If I don’t infiltrate the center of the Sonezaki group and kill them one by one, my parents will die. For this reason, I took the lead as a killer and cultivated strength within the group. He was almost killed once before taking revenge on the Sonezaki-gumi." "The Sonezaki group is very powerful, and there is no gap. When I was about to despair, the opportunity came. The former group leader Tasho Yohei died, and the internal division was divided into two factions. I pretended to be attached to Ohara's men, but secretly colluded with Kakutani and killed Ohara. Get rid of Kakutani again, and the Sonezaki group will be in chaos. At that time, I will be able to use the feat of assassinating Kakutani to take over the head of the Sonezaki group. In this way, the great cause of revenge will be completely completed." "However, witnesses to the scene of the assassination of Ohara appeared at this time, which disrupted my plan. Xiong Ze may have died unjustly, but because he may have seen the truth, I don't feel relieved if I don't get rid of him." "I killed two people who were not directly related to my revenge, which attracted the attention of the police. The killing of Amada and Kumazawa was a sudden incident that was not included in my revenge plan." "For Yamagata, it turns out that I cheated him, and I feel very sorry for him." After Hamano confessed, all five murders were explained.Except Shimura Nami, Amada, Kumazawa, Ohara, and Itiya were all killed by Hamano. Kiryu's position as a police officer was restored, he made a great contribution to catching the murderer, received good reviews, and his resignation was returned to him.He had never done anything that violated his status as a police officer. He was attacked by robbers at Shimura's house, he was accidentally attacked and fainted when he heard the sound, and the landlady was killed. He blamed himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a police officer and resigned. "It's time for us to break up, too." On the day of Kiryu's reinstatement, Kihara Godko said goodbye to Kiryu with eyes full of regret. "why?" "Isn't it appropriate for a police officer to associate with an apartment prostitute?" "You're fine if you're not an apartment whore, it's kind of weird for a woman like you to be an apartment whore." "I don't want to quit just yet." "Why? With your ability, you don't have to do this business..." "You mean you can find another job. You can find a job, but when I can still make a lot of money, I want to make more money. With my current job, I can earn 30 million yuan a year. If you earn 100 million yuan in three years, you can open a store. Where can I find such a job? And I can only do this kind of job now.” "Even if you can earn 100 million yuan, you will lose the most precious thing." "What is the most precious thing you are talking about? The most precious thing for a woman was in the hands of a man in the past. Now I want to control the most precious thing for myself. I don't want to spend the precious years that can make money for me It is wasted in the life of others pouring tea or serving her husband." "I don't want to comment on your lifestyle, but I regret it." "Is it for me to do this kind of job? Or is it for us not to be able to associate with each other in the future?" "It's both." "I'm sorry for the latter, at least. You must have been a good police officer, no, you are a very good police officer now. You took off your officer's uniform once yourself, and you must have felt its weight. " "It's really heavy, and I worry about whether I can continue to bear it in the future." "You can hold on, I promise." "With your guarantee, I have confidence." "There is confidence in the guarantee of the apartment hooker. Is there such a police officer?" "Isn't that what I am?" "Let me tell you a good thing." "What a good thing?" "Well, what do you think?" "I can't guess." "We may still be able to communicate in the future." "What the hell is going on?" "I'm about to save 100 million yuan!" "Are you saying you're going to stop doing this?" "I didn't say quit, I want to earn more while I'm still young." "You are too greedy!" "Oops, I told the serving police officer something illegal, will you forgive me?" "My job doesn't allow it." "Even the police officers, there are also prostitutes." "At least I haven't been here." "From now on, I want to be your good friend forever." "Then you still have to wash your hands?" "Ah, what should I do? Do you know the relationship between Naoya Yamagata and Mayumi Hibino?" "You diverted the topic. The two of them seem to be getting married. Yamagata's crime is just a violation of the gun and knife management law. Mayumi is harboring criminals. Because the circumstances are minor and there is room for discretion, she has been exempted from prosecution." "That's great, they will be happy." "Hamano may be sentenced to death. Anyway, he killed four people." "Is it four people?" "Didn't you say there were four of them?" "I think five." "Five people? Ohara, Iting, Kumazawa, Amada...then who else do you think?" "The Sonezaki group split because of the death of former group leader Yohei Tasho, right?" "The Sonezaki group is a huge violent group that is unified by the leadership of Tiansuo. After Tiansuo's death, the two factions of cadres are evenly matched, and splitting is an inevitable trend." "Don't you think Tian Suo died strangely? Tian Suo looks very strong, why would he fall to his death if he fell in the shower?" "You mean...!" Kiryu's expression changed. "When Tiansuo fell, Hamano was there!" "You mean Tian Suo is..." "If Hamano wants to kill Tansho, he can do it. In his own bathroom, he is the easiest to be careless. Pretend to flush him from the back, knock him down from the head, maybe it won't It was discovered. In short, after Tasho died in his bathroom, the Sonezaki group split up. Moreover, Hamano appeared at the death scene of Tasho, Ohara, and Kakutani, but the assassination of Kadotani failed." "If that's the case, it's a big deal." "It's nothing. It doesn't matter if you kill four people or five people. Anyway, it's the death penalty. To this day, this is just a speculation and there is no evidence." "A dreadful reasoning." "It's not necessarily scary. If I were Hamano, I would have killed Tasho too." "There is something terrible about you." "In our line of work, you can see the dark side of society, which may be one of the reasons why I am willing to work in this line of work." "What does it mean to gain insight into the dark side of society?" "You mean as a woman? You can see it because you are a woman. Maybe you shouldn't see too much of the dark side that only women can see." "If you see too much of that kind of thing, people will become unlovable." "Are you saying I'm not cute?" "No, you are an exception." "Is that true?" "That's true." "Then, I'll be cuter." Although Kihara Godko's eyes can see into the darkness of society, her eyes now have an innocent and charming charm.
