Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Major Breakthrough
Hexi came back with fruitful results.Through field investigations, he discovered some major contradictions in Kadowaki's proof, which could not be discovered by sitting at home.He summarized the problems he found as follows:
(1) Some of the most beautiful scenic spots were left out in Kadowaki's photos;
(2) Why did Kadowaki only take one roll of 16 sheets of film;
(3) It is unnatural for the 16 photos to cover the entire journey from the mountain pass to the descending pass. Since only one roll of film was prepared at the beginning, it should be taken halfway or there are still a few photos left;
(4) why no color film was prepared;
(5) The most puzzling thing is the jump between ⑷ and ⑸. Between ⑷ and ⑸, there is the most scenic spot in this travel route - Kashima gun peak, but Kadowaki is not there take a picture;
(6) Why most of the photography time is concentrated at noon when the light is too strong.
The discovery of these problems deepened the investigation headquarters' suspicion of Kadowaki.In view of Kasai's findings, the investigative headquarters investigated Kadowaki's "photographing history" and learned that he was a very enthusiastic amateur photographer.He has won several provincial photography competitions. Needless to say, his photography skills are superb, but he is also very particular about the selection of photographic equipment. In addition to the Pearl IV120 camera, he also has box cameras and concertinas sold after the war. One camera and one first-generation large single-lens reflex camera, two popular 135 cameras, and one camera that can change various lenses.He has developing equipment at home. He not only develops his own photos, but also serves his friends.
It is such a photographer. When he went on a three-day and two-night mountaineering trip, he only brought a concertina camera and only took a roll of 16 black-and-white films. This cannot but be suspicious.Kadowaki's doubts grew.
The irony is that almost all of Hexi's above-mentioned discoveries were completed with the assistance of Mikiko, but he concealed this beautiful traveling companion, and he wanted to keep this matter as a personal secret.I am afraid that Mikiko will not talk about this matter with anyone.That said, it's their secret, and Kasai is happy to share a secret with Mikiko.
"That trip will be buried in my heart as the most precious memory." He Xi really thought so.He and Mikiko are different in age and status, and he already has a wife.To him, Mikiko is completely an undesired opposite sex, and besides having no predestined relationship, he does not have the corresponding qualifications.
However, he did spend a few days in the mountains with Mikiko.In those few days, they did not "look at each other across the mountains", but followed each other closely, and even slept in the same bed in Tangsong Villa.When Hexi thought of the scene at that time, he blushed and felt fascinated.
The rest places in the Northern Alps in summer are always overcrowded, and Tangsong Villa was even more crowded that night.The villa stipulates that two people have one bedding. Except for couples, women must find a woman or a man and a man to accompany each other.After learning about this situation, Mikiko said:
"I'd rather sleep with Hexi than with a woman I don't know."
He Xi is both happy and embarrassed by her proposal.Sharing a quilt with Mikiko is unimaginable in Tokyo.Of course, it's just a physical bed-sharing, but Kasai still can't accept Mikiko's suggestion rashly.After hesitating for a long time, Mikiko generously told the waiter at the villa that she and Hexi were companions and brought a set of bedding.
Two people can only sleep close together in a bedding.The rest area is very crowded, and even when you come back from the toilet at night, you may find that your place has been occupied by others.Therefore, it is impossible to keep a certain distance from the person in the same bed while sleeping.
Anyway, that night Hexi slept with Mikiko in the same quilt.I don't know how Mikiko is, anyway, Hexi didn't close his eyes almost all night.He could feel Mikiko's body temperature, he would touch Mikiko's soft body as long as he moved slightly, and he would see Mikiko's flowery face as long as he turned his face slightly, and he could feel her cherry lips exhaling like blue .He Xi couldn't restrain himself from looking at her, he was young after all, and he liked Mikiko very much.
Thinking of what happened that night, He Xi felt dazzled and unable to control himself.He couldn't tell Nasu and his colleagues about this, and of course he couldn't tell his wife.
"You've worked hard!" Nasu, not knowing Hexi's secret, said looking at his tanned face.
When climbing the mountain, Mikiko, like all girls, put on sunscreen on her face, but Hexi didn't put on anything, and was always under the strong sunlight, so she was really tanned enough.Now his face was black and red, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.The tip of his nose began to peel, one piece was black and the other was white.Looking at this embarrassed look, no one would have thought that he had shared a quilt with a young girl when he was sleeping.
The investigation headquarters of the Akasaka Bureau held a meeting to discuss Kasai's findings.Before the meeting, they notified the Inada Department, but the other party still sent Horikoshi police department and Honda detective to attend the meeting.The investigation work of the Rice Field Department has made no progress, and the headquarters is about to be disbanded. Now, they don't care about factions.
"I want to re-examine Kadowaki's situation based on Kasai's findings." Nasu expressed his thoughts after announcing Kasai's findings.
"First of all, what do you think about the first question, that is, the question of where to shoot?" Nasu said.
Honda of the Inada Department stood up first and said, "The choice of shooting location varies from person to person. Kadowaki may not be interested in places that Kasai thinks are good."
Hexi showed an embarrassing expression. He was an amateur in taking pictures, and he couldn't refute Honda's opinion.
Honda went on to say: "Besides, the conditions in the mountains in May are much worse than when we went to Kasai. Kadowaki was in a hurry, so he didn't have to take pictures at the top of Kashima Gun Peak."
Honda sat down, and no one in the room spoke for a while.Everyone doesn't know the situation in the mountains in May, so they can't express their opinions.
"Indeed," Shanlu said.In this case, only those who are familiar with photography technology and mountains are qualified to speak. "As far as the photo location is concerned, it depends on everyone's preferences, but generally speaking, places with beautiful scenery will be recognized by people. It is better to take pictures at a high place than a mountainside, because taking pictures on the top of a mountain can be very good. Reproduce the steepness of the rock wall and the majesty of the mountain, and the three-dimensional sense is also strong.
"The layman is no exception. The higher the position, the wider the field of vision and the more scenes that can be photographed. It is estimated that the layman will not abandon the top of the mountain.
"If it is said that he did not rush to shoot at the summit of Kashima because he was in a hurry, then it cannot explain the fact that he took pictures on the ridge between Kashima Gun and Wulong Mountain. Kadowaki took pictures there from ⑸ to ⑿, accounting for 1/2 of all 16 frames of the film, but they let Wulong Mountain and Ludao grab the top of the mountain." Shan Lu defended Hexi.
"Is it because of the bad weather or light?" Honda added stubbornly.
In the joint investigative meeting, the departments always find fault with each other.Although both sides tend to act emotionally at the meeting, and the views cannot be unified, making the meeting a mere formality, but it also has the advantage that prejudice can be corrected, which is conducive to the objective and comprehensive study of the situation.
"We asked the local weather station, and they said that it was always sunny in those few days. In addition, the light is better in the morning than at noon, which is common sense for photography."
Honda didn't speak again.This is not to say that he is satisfied with Shanlu's explanation, but that he thinks that both parties are talking about their own opinions based on speculation, and cannot talk about anything deeper.
"As for the second question, can it be considered that he lost the film or forgot to bring it?" Tsuji asked.
"It's possible, but the possibility is quite small!" Hengdu said.
"I would like to talk about the fourth issue, which is the color film issue." Hatakeyama of the Akasaka Bureau looked up and said, "Maybe Kadowaki brought color film, but because he only brought a camera, and the black and white film was loaded in advance. In the machine, the color film can no longer be changed."
"That's an opinion too, but if he prepared color film, shouldn't he bring another camera dedicated to color?" Honda asked rhetorically.
"Maybe because the luggage is too heavy, I have to bring one as a last resort."
"In that case, he should have the latest camera, since he has plenty of them anyway, why should he have an old one?"
"Maybe he's particularly fond of using that camera."
Although the production of the Pearl IV camera has been discontinued, many people still like to use it because of its strong lens resolution capability, large screen size, and clear-cut images, and its design overcomes the shortcomings of the original spring-type camera. it.In particular, its structure is strong, and mountaineers are willing to carry it.It is not inconceivable that Kadowaki chose that camera, but the real intention of using the IV camera can only be confirmed by asking Kadowaki himself.The time was ripe to ask Kadowaki directly.
"Kadowaki put the film in the pre-selected camera, and shot his entire itinerary with one roll of film, right?" This is the third question, and Honda's change of subject is acknowledging that Hatakeyama and others have expressed their concerns about the first discussion just now. Explanation of the four questions.
"I found an interesting problem." Cao Chang, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes and said.Before that, he had been writing something in the notebook spread out on the table.
All eyes are on the pasture.
"From the photos, Kadowaki's shooting time can be roughly divided into three periods. Photos ⑴ and ⑵ are at noon, ⑶ and ⑷ are in the evening, ⑸ to ⑿ are still at noon, ⒀ and ⒁ are in the morning, ⒂ and ⒃ are noon again That is to say, Kadowaki only took pictures during the morning, noon, and evening, and at the accommodation, either the morning or the evening was taken, not both morning and evening.”
"Oh——" the colleagues sighed, this is indeed a new discovery, and they took the photos to re-examine. ⑴ to ⑶, ⒀ to ⒃ are the departure and arrival locations.Kadowaki left after taking pictures in Otanihara around 1:00 pm, went to Lengchi around 6:00 pm, and took pictures (3) and (4). Similarly, Tangsong Villa to Hosono (at the foot of Bafangling Mountain) was taken in the same way, so it is easy to see at a glance The shooting time can be judged.The problem is the shooting time from ⑸ to ⑿.According to the field survey in Hexi, it can be judged that (5) to (12) were taken on the way from Lengchi to Tangsong, but due to the complicated terrain in the mountains, it cannot be said that those photos were taken at noon.However, judging from the travel time and the light, angle and shape of the scene on the screen, they seem to be taken at noon.
Kadowaki only took pictures in the morning, noon, and evening, but not at other times, and he didn't take pictures at the same place both morning and evening.
——Why?
The members of the investigative headquarters are excited about the new discovery.This is indeed a strange problem, but I can't think of the reason.People are silent in thought, and the room is quiet.
Through research, the doubts are more obvious, but no corresponding conclusions can be drawn.
"If I can't find the reason, I'll run away for nothing." He Xi felt that he had the responsibility to find out the truth.Because of Kasai's discovery, the investigative headquarters, which had been active for a while, fell into depression again because it failed to grasp the key evidence to break through Kadowaki.
Hexi's discovery was "suspicious circumstances" at best.Kadowaki himself may have to answer the newly discovered question, but if you really want to ask him, he will definitely say:
"Where to take pictures is my freedom. I am not interested in places where most people have to take photos and the scenery is like a postcard. As for whether I take 1 roll or 10 rolls, you are too strict, use 16 pictures Isn’t it good to take pictures of the whole trip? It’s troublesome to change rolls on the way, so I arranged according to 16. In order to develop the photos as soon as possible, isn’t there a lot of examples of taking pictures of the remaining film at the end of the trip. No color film? But it depends on personal preference! Sometimes the depth of field of the black and white volume is better. As for which camera to use, it depends on my preference, do you even care about this?"
All in all, the actual evidence of Kadowaki's crimes has not yet been grasped.Real evidence is never easy to find, and the police are often scratching their heads.
While the investigative headquarters was meeting, an unusual case occurred at the "Akasaka Luxury Hotel" in the center of Tokyo.The incident took place around 2:00 pm.
The hotel is newly built and often receives some professional affair guests.No matter how much it claims to be a first-class hotel, it is still an underground prostitution place in the final analysis.This hotel, which mainly has double rooms, might not be able to maintain its business if it were not like this.
The front desk clerk just received a female guest who seemed to be married, and then he watched the back of the female guest who was taken away by the waiter and smacked his lips lightly.He thought, "She's probably going to have a good time again this afternoon. Humph! What a place she's found." He felt comforted.
This woman always came to the hotel alone. The name written in the registration book was "Nakai Yaeko", which may not be her real name, and the occupation column listed writer.
The clerk was amused; he had never heard of such a female writer.If you are a writer, you usually bring manuscript paper or materials, but she didn't bring it, and she always booked a double room.She was probably an idle lady in an upper-class family who came out to meet her lover when her husband was away.Every time she comes first, the man comes later.
Recently, the competition in the hotel industry is very fierce. If you wait for customers with decent management, you can only empty the rooms and make no money.
In order to make money, the hotel has thought of many ways to attract customers, such as: preparing new houses for newlyweds, receiving students taking exams, and providing airlines with rooms where meals are included in the room rate.One of them is called "office service" or "day service", which means renting rooms that are open during the day to clerical staff as their office.
It is ridiculous that the "office service" for receiving office workers has turned into a service item for receiving improper male and female guests.In fact, this was also the hotel's initial expectations.As a first-class hotel in the Japan Hotel Association, it is not easy to openly follow the practice of hot spring hotels, so it can only use the signboard of "office service" to cover up its low-level management.Therefore, the current "office service" is actually the same as the "rest" of hot spring hotels and motels, but the name is different.
Nakai Yaeko is also a tenant who seeks some physical needs under the guise of "office".You don't have to worry about going in and out of a first-class hotel like you are in a hot spring hotel. Moreover, this is an office room open to service personnel, so it will not be suspected of being indecent.Even meeting acquaintances by chance is fine, as long as you don't get seen with a man.People outside can't see the inside, and everything will be fine once they enter the house, no matter how much fun they have, no one will know.
She may be a virtuous wife at home, but when her husband is away, she comes out to do such shady things, and the front desk clerk thinks that woman who pretends to be a philanthropist is too disgusting.
Of course the clerk is used to such things, but isn't it hateful that she comes to the office pretending to be a woman writer?Even though Yaeko is a guest at the hotel, the clerk is angry with her behavior.
Yaeko Nakai's room was No. 1591, Room 91 on the 15th floor, at the end of the corridor away from the stairs.This position has little interference, and she is very proud of this room.The front desk clerk already understood her psychology, so as long as she came, he would give her that room without her asking.
Yaeko waited for the waiter to leave before taking a shower.Two sets of pajamas lay on the bed, a foreshadowing of what was to come.
After the bath, she changed into her pajamas, looked at her watch, and thought it was time for her lover to come.Her husband came home late today, so she can stay in the hotel for a while.
She wasn't wearing anything under her pajamas, which gave her freshly showered skin a soft, comfortable feel.In order to protect the skin of the guests, the hotel's pajamas are basically not starched.Her skin was so delicate that it would get red, even torn, if it came in direct contact with starched pajamas or shirts.Her husband is well aware of the delicateness of her skin, and she is afraid that he will be suspicious of her from the scratched skin, but she feels at ease when she comes to this hotel, which is another reason why she likes to come here.
"It's been a long time since I saw him, and I haven't had a chance to leave home recently, so I have to make up for it today." Thinking like this, her mind had already begun to fluctuate.She looked at her watch again. It was two or three minutes before the appointment.
"It's time to come!" Just as she was itching to herself, the doorbell rang. "Here we come!" She jumped up happily and ran to the door.
"Haraguchi," she called her lover's name, and opened the door with confidence, "I'm waiting to die..." As soon as she said this, she was suddenly shocked when the person she was waiting for came in.
"I'm not Haraguchi, I'm sorry." The man who came in cast a sinister look at her.
"What are you doing breaking in all of a sudden?" the woman woke up from her shock and asked aggressively.
"Suddenly? I rang the bell!"
"Get out! I didn't ask you to come."
"Didn't ask me to come? You are too heartless. You play with people as you like, and I became your plaything and was destroyed by you."
"Plaything! Don't scare people. This kind of talk can only be said by women to men. We were consensual at the beginning."
"You don't seem to be consensual! In order to protect you, I didn't say your name when I was suspected of murder. But you are too ruthless. Your words just now are the best proof. Since it is consensual, Why didn't you declare it after the accident? You also said that I seduced you, and you didn't even see me."
"That's a thing of the past. Besides, you didn't protect me at that time, but to protect yourself. Hmph! You also have no conscience. Well, you can go away quickly. Being seen here will cause misunderstanding, That would be troublesome."
"Trouble? Aren't you waiting for a man? It's no trouble if I see it!"
"It's outrageous! I'm borrowing this house to work, you, get out!"
"It's ridiculous, you still work! What work are you doing in such a suit?"
"I'm sweating and just got out of the shower. You don't care what I wear! If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
"Police? Is this what you said to me? Didn't you also say that you wanted to divorce your husband and marry me?"
"That's the thing between men and women. As long as one party wakes up, the previous relationship will be over. I hate sticky people, and I don't want to see such people at all!"
"What did you say?"
The two people who once hugged tightly and shared happiness are now venting their hatred for each other.
"Get out, get out! In my precious time, I don't have a minute to spend on you." The woman was extremely anxious, for fear that the man she was waiting for would come at this time.This man was in love with her, and it would be terrible for him to see himself with his former lover.What she said "being misunderstood" is also for the new lover.
"If you don't go out again, I will tell the police that there are robbers!" She reached out to grab the phone.
"Bastard!" The man who had been enduring all this time finally showed his fierceness, "I can't spare you!"
"You, what are you doing?"
Only then did the woman realize the danger of the situation, but it was too late.In a fit of rage, the man pulled out the dagger he was going to use to threaten the woman and rushed towards the woman like crazy.The woman screamed, and the sound seemed to tear through the silent corridor.
When the criminal police from the Akasaka Bureau rushed to the scene after receiving the report, the woman had already passed away after being stabbed into the chest with a dagger, and the murderer was standing in the house dumbfounded with the bloody weapon in his hand.There was no resistance when he was arrested.
According to the investigation, the criminal is Yumiba Hisahiko, a former employee of Teiji Company, and the victim is Yayoi, the wife of his former boss, Minister Nakazawa.
Yumiba lost his superior position in the company, and also lost the possibility of courting Mikiko.Of course, this is his own fault, but he believes that if Yayoi does not adopt a selfish and ruthless attitude, he will not be kicked out of the company.
He intends to complain to Yayoi, so he secretly investigates Yayoi's whereabouts.That day he followed her to the hotel, and after meeting Yayoi, he was irritated by her blunt attitude, and his rage produced murderous intent.
Ever since Nakazawa found out about the relationship between Yayoi and Yumiba, the relationship between husband and wife suddenly became cold, and Yayoi was unwilling to be lonely, so he took the opportunity to seduce a new lover who was younger than him.Just when she was indulging in an absurd extramarital life, she was killed by her old lover.
After hearing the news, the police officers of the investigation headquarters of the Akasaka Bureau had an indescribable feeling that the man who had been tried as a murder suspect had now become a real murderer.
Two of the three people who appeared in the original case were killed, and the remaining one became a murderer in another case.
The police saw what happened to senior staff in this case.Of course, the current Gongchang deserved what he deserved, but what happened to him was too miserable.
A certain idea was brewing in Hexi's mind.Although there is still no breakthrough to conquer Kado Waki, Hexi feels that there is hope, like finding a ray of light in a dark abyss. Although the abyss is still so dark, there is indeed light.This scene is like a cold day in February. Although it is colder than December and January, spring is coming after all.
Refined thinking will suddenly sublimate into inspiration one day, and in order to have inspiration, you have to think over and over again.The so-called inspiration refers to the moment when the accumulated and refined thinking suddenly opens the floodgate, the "energy" of thinking suddenly explodes, and a satisfactory result is obtained at once.Refined thinking is the tipping point that opens up new horizons and concepts.He Xi felt that he was approaching that critical point.
That day was a rare break for him.It turned out that he wanted to have a good sleep, but he felt that he hadn't gone out with his wife and children for a long time, and they were quite pitiful, so he accompanied them to the casino that the children had longed for.
He sacrificed sleep not only for his children, but also out of guilt for his wife.During his last business trip, he climbed a mountain with a young girl, and even "shared the same bed", and he had a secret from his wife for the first time.In the eyes of a dissolute person, his behavior with Mikiko is just a child's game, but in the eyes of He Xi, it is infidelity to his wife.So he wanted to atone, and although the way of atonement was simple, he had made considerable efforts.
Hexi is simple and simple, it is hard to believe that he is a criminal policeman who solves murders.It is precisely because he has the character of loving his wife and family that he can deeply understand the dangers of criminals who ignore the law and human morality.
They came to a casino near the railway in the suburbs.The wife and children who haven't come to play with Hexi for a long time are very happy.Hexi looked at their happy faces and thought: "This is how to make up for the family reunion account owed for a year." Taking just one day's play as a year's compensation is also a unique idea of the criminal police. I don't know when the trip will be.
——Anyway, I have to have a good day today——
In the casino, they feed the lions for a while, go for a fast ride for a while, and go to experience the terrifying mood in the car for a while.Playing and playing, they feel hungry.
The family came to the cafeteria of the casino.The canteen is huge, but it is also overcrowded.It had been a long time since the waitress came to greet him after the meal coupon was issued, so He Xi had no choice but to deliver the meal coupon to the waiter himself.Hexi served fried steak topped with rice for himself and his wife, and light meals, iced snacks and ice cream for his children.
When I was waiting so anxiously, a plate of things was finally delivered.
"Oh! Why did the ice cream come first? The service quality here is too bad!" The wife said with a frown.Children don't care about these, they just want to eat them.
"Eat the cold ones first, you won't be able to eat the food later."
"But the ice cream is melting!"
"It's really helpless, they don't know what to take first..." The wife complained, and the child just concentrated on eating.
"The child is already very hungry. It doesn't matter if you eat the ice cream first. It doesn't matter which one you eat first!" He Xi persuaded his wife.
The child had just finished eating the ice cream when the waitress brought another iced dessert.
"Good boy, you can eat this iced snack after you finish your meal." The wife stopped the child who wanted to eat the iced snack.Eating ice cream and frozen snacks continuously on an empty stomach will affect appetite.This time, Hexi couldn't say "whatever you eat first will be the same in your stomach". Suddenly, his expression became serious, and his refined thinking exploded, releasing energy like a nuclear fission reaction.
"It doesn't matter which one you eat first, I understand!" He shouted and stood up, his wife was taken aback, and the people around him were even more puzzled.
Kasai has found a breakthrough to overcome Kadowaki's proof, but he still needs to do some experiments to advance in depth.
During the second half of this rare family outing, Hexi has been absent-minded.The virtuous wife has long been accustomed to this. She knew that her husband must have made a major discovery at work, so she quickly offered to go home. Fortunately, the child seemed to be having a good time.
On the way home, Hexi bought two rolls of 120 film for experiments.When he got home, he plunged into his own room and started experimenting.The result of the experiment was the same as he expected, but based on this alone, it cannot be said that the experiment was completely successful.
The next morning, Kasai was the first one to come to the headquarters. He took a few photos with Kadowaki's camera, and then asked the photographer from the Inspection Section of the Metropolitan Police Department to develop the photos.In the end, it proved that his idea was reasonable.
Kasai was in high spirits, and immediately reported his new discovery to Nasu.
Kadowaki Hideto was summoned to the investigation headquarters as a major suspect.The prudent Nasu thought that he had no signs of escaping or hiding evidence, so he did not apply for an arrest warrant.
Kadowaki came to the investigative headquarters happily, with a calm and unhurried attitude.He was surprised that the investigative headquarters had not yet been disbanded.
"How about it, should my question be clarified?" Kadowaki looked at Nasu's face and asked with a mocking smile.
"Your business is a bit difficult." Nasu had a sad face, which was similar to the expression when it was raining on the way and he wanted a ride but was rejected.
Kadowaki didn't know that Nasu was worried about his disadvantaged situation, but that expression aroused his sympathy and strengthened his self-confidence.He was still in the dark, unaware that the very foundations of his existence were about to crumble.
"Difficult? Has something happened?"
"Let me ask you again, did you sleep in the cold pool on the night of May 26?"
"Yes." Kadowaki's self-confidence suddenly cast a shadow of uneasiness.
"Did you cross Ludao Gun and Wulong Mountain to Tangsong Villa on the 27th?"
"Yes, what's wrong with that?"
Nasu did not answer Kadowaki's rhetorical question with an uneasy tone, and continued to ask: "You stayed at Karamatsu Villa on the 27th, returned to Tokyo on the 28th, the 29th is Sunday, and the 30th is your shift, right?"
"What on earth do you want to ask? Haven't I already said these things? I'm busy. I hope you can get straight to the point."
"Then, where were you on the night of May 29?" Nasu's question pierced Kadowaki's chest like a sharp knife flying over suddenly, Kadowaki's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.Nasu's question greatly exceeded his expectations, causing him to be hit to the point without preparation. Before that, he had always believed that his proof was invulnerable.
"What does it matter?" Kadowaki finally asked.
"It has a lot to do with it." Nasu said sternly, his tone was very blunt, and his attitude became serious.
"It's my freedom to stay where I am on Sunday. What you want to prove is the night of the 26th, when I took the Kashima gun."
"Is there any evidence?"
"What is this called! Didn't I give you cameras and negatives as evidence! When are you going to leave me? It won't be confiscated!"
"I'll return it to you immediately, because those things are not enough to prove."
"Insufficient proof?" Kadowaki's face showed an angry look, and he couldn't sit still.Nasu thought that maybe he was using anger to cover up his uneasiness.
"Yes, there is no proof value. It does not prove that you were shot in Kashima from 11pm on May 26th to 4am on May 27th."
"It makes no sense!"
"We have figured out your tricks, let me explain them to you one by one."
"..."
"When I'm done, can you tell me where you were on the 29th?"
"It's really interesting, I'd like to hear what you have to say." Kadowaki raised his face, as if he was listening attentively.
"How? You can go to Kawasaki to commit crimes on the night of the 26th through this simple method. Photos can't prove that you are not at the scene of the crime."
"This is a complete framing. I don't know what kind of tricks can be used when taking pictures. I have been going to Kashima gun since the 26th."
"Then, please tell me where you were on the 29th. If you didn't lie, you returned to Tokyo on the 28th, so you should be in Tokyo on the 29th. Can you tell me where you were?"
"I didn't keep a record of what I did on Sunday."
"Oh? You clearly remember climbing the mountain from the 26th to the 28th, but you can't remember what happened the next day after you came back from the mountain?"
"Maybe I'm tired from climbing and rest at home."
"But your daughter said you didn't rest at home."
"What! Did you ask Mikiko?" Kadowaki had a desperate expression on his face, as if he was regretting that he should not rest assured of the integrity of the proof and forgot to tell his daughter.
Maybe Kadowaki didn't want to implicate Mikiko in the case, so he didn't agree with her.
"According to Ling Ai, you came back from the mountains on the evening of the 29th. You said it was the 28th, a day behind. What did you do during this time?"
"Maybe my daughter remembered wrongly. I did come back on the 28th."
"So, where were you on the 29th?"
"I am here--"
"At least you were not at home during the day on the 29th. Your daughter was the one who found out that Guojing was killed. The police went to the house several times to inquire about the situation, and they also went there on the afternoon of the 29th. The police who went there that day accidentally asked your daughter if you were at home. Answer clearly that you are not at home and have gone on a trip. At that time, your daughter will not remember wrongly, and there is no need to hide it. You were not at home on the 29th, and if you were at home, it would be after evening. Why are you lying?"
Kadowaki was left speechless by Nasu's question.He was completely passive, and the sweat on his plump face was shining brightly.There is no air-conditioning in the investigative headquarters, but it is well ventilated, so you don't sweat, and Nasu himself doesn't sweat.
"I still have a few questions to ask you." Nasu hurriedly pursued, "Why didn't you take a color film? Why did you only take 16 photos? Why didn't you take a photo of the Kashima gun and the top of Wulong Mountain?"
Kadowaki could not answer these questions.If he was in his usual calm state, he could have tried every means to get rid of these problems. Now, he was hit hard and his position was messed up, so he couldn't cheer up.
"Your daughter also has doubts about you. You can answer the question I just asked in front of your daughter. Did you call your daughter here?" Nasu's words caught Kadowaki's key point.
"This matter has nothing to do with Mikiko, please don't involve the child." Kadowaki's body trembled, and he tried his best to support his body as if he was about to fall.He begged, and wept.This high-ranking official of the central government office, which regards the dignity of status and age as a solid line of defense, revealed his father's nature.It can also be said that he was stripped of all disguises and restored to his original appearance.
