Chapter 8 Chapter 8 News Clipping Incident

That morning, Igata Ayuko accidentally opened the newspaper and saw a large photo of a person, and she couldn't help being stunned. This photo occupies a prominent space on the social edition.The headline is "Mysterious Disappearance of Celebrity's Wife. Kidnapped?" Below is the relevant news report.The general content of the news is as follows: Seeing the face of the woman in the photo, Ayuko was surprised.After trying to calm herself down, she immediately got in touch with Okamoto. That night, Okamoto was also surprised when he met Ayuko. "I didn't notice it when I read the newspaper this morning, maybe I missed it. You told me and read the newspaper again, which surprised me. She is the woman in that photo." Okamoto said .

"If, as the report says, she was kidnapped, would it be related to Jiaxing's disappearance?" "I can't make any conclusions yet." Okamoto seemed unable to make a judgment.There was no mention of this incident in relation to the murder of the supermarket clerk in Kumagai City or the murders of Guzawa and Masukawa. "I think there must be something to do with it." Ayuko asserted. "If there is any connection between the disappearance of the two people, although it is difficult to tell you, I think they may have conspired to run away from home."

"Conspiracy...you mean the two of them eloped?" "Yes. Your husband married you, and this woman also married. But maybe they couldn't forget each other after they got married, so they abandoned their lover and went to a place where no one knew, and started another kind of life of their own. Life." "It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen." Okamoto didn't know the love situation between Ayuko and Jiaxing.It is impossible for others to know about this kind of thing between husband and wife. "This is just a possibility. The woman in this photo is the wife of President Risheng's son. Maybe someone kidnapped her for a ransom."

"I don't think so. I always feel that the disappearance of these two people is connected." "If they weren't plotting to elope, what connection do you speak of?" "It's the murder case in Kumagai City. What if the murderer wanted to kill Akemi Ochiai?" "Why do you say that the murderer who killed the female clerk in Kumagai City wanted to kill Akemi Ochiai?" "It can be seen from the time and place on Mrs. Zhu Shi's photo. That photo was taken in Kumagai City on the same day that the female shop assistant was killed. In this way, Mrs. Zhu Shi has something to do with that incident. Home Xing and Mrs. Zhu Shi are both related to the murder of the female shop assistant in Kumagaya City, so they were murdered by the murderer."

"It's not certain that your husband and Zhu Shi were murdered to silence them." "Newly married men and women have disappeared one after another, and they have not contacted their lovers. That is to say, they are in some kind of predicament, and they want to contact but can't. Mrs. Zhu Shi has not been missing for a long time, but her family has been missing for three months. News. In such an era of such a well-developed news media, it is impossible to be imprisoned for such a long time without being detected." "Even if the murderer of the female shop assistant wants to kill them both, why wait until three years later? Besides, there is no guarantee that your husband and Zhu Shi will not tell others about it within such a long time. Of course, There is a high possibility that they are in danger. However, I think if you want to kill people to silence them, you should do it immediately after that incident."

"I'm not sure about that. There must be something that made the murderer have to wait for three years before he did it." "If this matter is not clear yet, it would be too hasty to link the disappearance of your husband and Mrs. Zhu Shi with the murder of the female shop assistant." "However, Mrs. Zhu Shi must have some connection with Kumagai City. This is a fact that cannot be ignored. Kagata is also very concerned about the murder of the female shop assistant. The two people who have some kind of connection with the Kumagai City case were married. After that, they disappeared one after another. Moreover, Jiaxing and Mrs. Zhu Shi seemed to have some relationship before they got married. Generally speaking, I think the disappearance of the two people must have some connection. It is useless for me to deduce this. Let's report it to the police .what do you think?"

"Will that work?" "Why do you say that?" "You shouldn't report to the police when you report to the police, just like seeing a doctor who can show you that you are sick when you are not sick." "You mean the police will suspect me?" "Yes. You are not without suspicion." "Why do you doubt me?" "If you think about it, it's obvious that your husband and Mrs. Zhu Shi had a relationship before they got married. You also knew about it after you got married. The police may think that you married your husband and Zhu Shi out of jealousy. What happened. The job of the police is to doubt everything."

"What kind of words is this? No matter how jealous I am, I won't pursue the affairs of my husband before marriage. What's more, I will be very troublesome if I expose the past affairs." "Look, aren't you making trouble for yourself now?" Okamoto said sarcastically. Catfish felt a little uncomfortable after being defeated in this debate of speech. "It's just a hypothesis. If couples who have gone through different lives and come together are looking for things before they got married, it will definitely be endless. But the point is that I didn't know the identity of the woman in the photo before I saw the newspaper. identity and address."

"The cops don't think so. The cops think like cops." "What should I do if I am suspected by the police?" Okamoto said this, Ayuko suddenly became uneasy.Because Ayuko suspects that the family form is related to the murder of the female shop assistant, she also went to Kumagai City to meet the victim's father.These actions of Ayuko may arouse the suspicion of the police. "It's okay. I'm here. I know very well that you wouldn't do that." "Then please. Now I can only rely on you, senior." At this time, Ayuko felt that she needed a support after losing her family status.

Ayuko Igata reported what she knew to the nearest police station, and after getting the information, the search headquarters of the Shinjuku Bureau and the Kasue branch took action.Ushio shows Ayuko the photos of men in the newspaper clippings collected by Atsushi Ochiai, and Ayuko confirms that the person in the photo is her missing husband Keisuke Iagata.Facts are increasingly showing that the disappearances of Keisuke Iegata and Akemi Ochiai are related.The Shinjuku Bureau and the Kasue Branch Office held a joint search meeting.First, Oxtail explained the course of the incident. "Furusawa Monday and Masukawa Yasushi were killed one after another. When we investigated the relationship between the two people before their death, we found that both of them were invited to the wedding of Ochiai Shigeru and Nakahashi Shushi before they were killed. Furusawa, Masukawa was a student of Ochiai Shigeru University, and he belonged to the same automobile department when he was in school. Considering these circumstances, we suspected that Ochiai had something to do with this incident, so we paid attention to him. Ochiai had no incident on the night of the incident. Alibi proof. Then, Ochiai’s wife Akimi disappeared. The reason for Akimi running away from home was not found. From Akimi’s personal belongings, Ochiai discovered that a supermarket clerk was killed in Kumagai City, Saitama Prefecture three years ago. Newspaper clippings related to the incident. Based on this, we suspect that Akatsuki Ochiai has some relationship with this incident. The photo of the man put together with the newspaper clippings was confirmed by Keisuke Iagata's wife. The man in the photo is Keisuke Iagata. Jiaxing had disappeared three months before Zhu Shi disappeared. This photo of Jiaxing was taken in Kumagai City on June 3 three years ago.

"On the other hand, from Kagata's personal belongings, newspaper clippings related to the murder of a supermarket female clerk and photos of Zhu Shi taken at the same location in Kumagai City were also found. From these circumstances, it is speculated that Jiaxing and Zhu Mi Both of them have some relationship with Kumagai City, and they are both concerned about the murder of a local supermarket female clerk. It can be speculated that the disappearance of these two people has some relationship with the case that happened in Kumagai City three years ago. And, I I think we should consider the murders of Furusawa and Masukawa, the murders of Kumagai, and the disappearance of Kagata and Akisho as related incidents.” After Oxtail's explanation was over, the audience was silent for a short time, and everyone was thinking about the content of Oxtail's explanation. "Isn't it too hasty to conclude that this series of incidents is related just because the newspaper clippings related to the murder of the supermarket female clerk in Kumagaya were found in the personal belongings of the two missing people?" The short silence was broken, and someone raised objections Opinion. "There are not only newspaper clippings related to the incident, but also photos of each other taken by each of them at the same place in Kumagai City. From these circumstances, it can be speculated that Keisuke Iegata and Akemi Ochiai had a relationship before their marriage. It's related, and they are all equally concerned about the murder of the female shop assistant." Ushio retorted. "If Kagata and Zhu Shi were related before marriage, it is understandable that they care about the same thing. It is normal for lovers to have common hobbies. And Furusawa and Shengchuan were only invited to participate at the same time by chance. Ochiai’s wedding, from this similarity, it is too arbitrary to conclude that the killing of the two of them is related to the killing of the female shop assistant in Kumagai City. It is even more illogical to connect it with the murder of the female shop assistant." The opposition is strong.Indeed, at this stage, it is a bit far-fetched to link the murders of Guzawa and Shengchuan with the murder of the female shop assistant.At present, there is no evidence to show that the murders of Guzawa and Shengchuan are related to the murder of the female shop assistant. And it wasn't Zhu Shi who invited the two to the wedding.They also didn't find any relationship between her and Gu Ze and Sheng Chuan.Gu Ze and Sheng Chuan were invited as college students of Zhu Shi's husband. "It's true that there is no relationship between Zhu Shi and Furusawa and Shengchuan. However, according to her husband Ochiai, Zhu Shi was very afraid of Furusawa and Shengchuan at the wedding banquet. Is it possible to think that they Is there some kind of relationship hidden between them?" "This is just Ochiai's one-sided story. Furusawa and Masukawa were killed, and Ochiai is also suspected. Maybe he made up such a story in order to divert the police from suspecting him." "Even if we assume that the murders of Guzawa and Masukawa have nothing to do with the murder of the female shop assistant. However, the fact that Kagata and Zhu Shi disappeared after marriage, and their belief in the murder of the female shop assistant concern, and their origins with Kumagai City (the relationship between the murderer and the suspect and a certain location), these are things we cannot ignore. Although it is not surprising that lovers have common hobbies, why do they only treat women? Why are you so interested in the murder of the clerk? We should find out why!" Oxtail did not give an inch.Ishii and Nomura of Aoyagi and Kasue branch offices also supported him.Although some people raised strong objections, everyone still felt that the murders of Furusawa and Masukawa, and the successive disappearances of Keisuke Iagata and Akimi Ochiai were related to the killing of a female salesperson in a supermarket in Kumagai City three years ago. connection. Therefore, everyone adopted Ushio's opinion and formulated a future search policy. 1. Investigate the relationship between Keisuke Kata and Akemi Ochiai and Kumagai City. 2. Find out why the two people are interested in the murder of the female shop assistant. 3. Investigate the relationship between Gu Ze, Sheng Chuan, Jia Xing and Zhu Shi. 4. Investigate the relationship between Guzawa, Shengchuan and the female victim in Kumagai City. 5. After Sayama Hidemo returns to the country, summon him.
