Chapter 26 Section 26

Yuki took a taxi from the airport to Niigata Station, and then took the Joetsu Shinkansen to Nagaoka Station.When he walked out of Nagaoka Station, he glanced at his watch, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon.Teak thought to himself, it was a little earlier than expected.Mrs. Kamijou should be able to travel frequently between the two places. He hailed a taxi in front of the station and drove towards his destination.The distance is actually not far, just the distance of the starting price.Yuki took out the fax paper in his coat pocket and opened it.On the paper was a schematic drawing of the road from the station to Kamijou's house.The schematics are not hand-drawn and seem to have been prepared beforehand.Since it is the residence of the founder of a large local company, there must be a lot of people who usually come to visit.

Teak looked out the car window.The melted snow made the roads shiny.On both sides of the road, there are endless snow-capped mountains.Teak thought to himself, this place seems to be somewhat similar to the north. "It seems to be in this area." Saying so, the taxi driver slowed down the speed. Teak looked around.He saw a post office.This is one of the markers on the map. "Just stop here," Yuki said. Teak got out of the taxi, followed the map, and walked into the side road.Walk a little further and you should be there. The door with the name "Kamijo" on it is a Western-style residence painted creamy yellow.This house is very new, Teak couldn't help being a little surprised.He originally thought Kamijou's house would be an old Japanese-style house.Yuki thought, this might have something to do with Kamijou's company's promotional slogan—keep your house as if it was newly built.

He pressed the intercom on the doorpost.After a while, "Hello, who is it" came back from inside. "I am teak developed by Xinshi." "Ah, please come in." Then there was a voice of hanging up the microphone. Yuki stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, only to see a door on the other side of the gate opened in response to the sound, and Mrs. Kamijou came out from inside, dressed in a sweater and trousers.A few days ago, when he and Fumi Hita went to the hospital to visit Nobuyuki Kamijo, Yuki met her once.According to Xiaogu, her name is Shijinzi. She nodded to Teak, as if to say "Come in".

Teak walked through the courtyard door and into the porch. "I am very sorry for making an unreasonable request to you suddenly." Teak bowed his head. Following Kotani's instructions, Yuki called Kamijou's family this morning.He told Kamijo Setsuko that he wanted to ask her for details, and wondered if he could visit her house.As Kotani said, the company seemed to have contacted her beforehand, and Setsuko Kamijo not only did not refuse Yuki's request, but also acted with fear and sincerity. "You have worked so hard to come here from such a far place. Please come in quickly."

"excuse me." Teak is channeled into a reception room furnished with leather-covered sofas.A glass ashtray stood on a table covered with lace cushions.Teak thought to himself, this might be a place to talk to customers. Kamijo Setsuko sat down opposite him, and after a while, a woman in her forties brought in tea.Shi Jinzi said that this is a relative of hers who is helping her with housework now. Yuki remembered.Before coming here, he read some related materials of KM construction. KM Construction is a typical family business, which is said to have been founded by Kamijo Nobuyuki's grandfather.The main members of the board of directors are almost all relatives of the Kamijou family.Since the president suddenly fell into a coma in Hokkaido, of course some of the relatives planned to follow up with the superior.

"Who is staying in Sapporo Hospital now?" Yuuki asked. "It's someone from the company. If there is anything, he will contact me immediately." "That's right, it's really hard work. A few days ago, I heard from you that your son was also struggling with the disease in the hospital." Shizuko nodded feebly. "At such a critical moment, why did that person do such a stupid thing? I really don't understand at all." She bowed her head towards Teak, "I am so sorry for causing you so much trouble." "Where is there." Teak waved his hand, "You don't need to apologize to me. By the way, where is the computer your husband used to write the threatening letter? Can I have a look at it?"

Shi Jinzi lowered his eyebrows in trouble. "The computer is not with us now. The police have already taken the computer away, saying they want to investigate the hard disk or something." "I see." Teak had expected this a long time ago, so he was not disappointed, "What about the files stored in the computer?" "I'm ready." She picked up an envelope next to her, took out a piece of A4 printing paper, and placed it in front of Teak, "We printed this." "Did you type it out with your usual printer?" "That's right, that's right."

"Understood, let me take a look." Teak looked at the typed documents for a while, and then took out a folder from his schoolbag, which contained the copies of the threatening letters that were sent to Xinshi Development. "It's indeed the same thing." Yuki said.Then, he placed the two documents side by side on the table. "Look, as you can see, the two documents not only have the same content, but also the font size, font style, and line break position are exactly the same. Can you see it?" Shi Jinzi compared back and forth, then nodded slightly. "Exactly as you said."

"From this point of view, the threatening letter sent to the company was indeed produced by your computer. Then, the person who usually uses that computer—" Yuzuki glanced at Shizuko. She slumped her shoulders and sighed. "It's just me and my husband. However, the computer is in my husband's study, and I hardly touch it. The reason why I turn on the computer this time is to look up the New Year's greetings I wrote before, but I didn't expect But I found something like this…” "In that case, it must be your husband who wrote the threatening letter?"

"That's true, although I don't believe he would do such a thing." She shook her head slowly. I don't have a clue, I can't think of anything. Even the fact that he is a fan of Ms. Hita Fumi is the first time I have heard of it. It may be rude to say this, but I really didn't know that there was such a thing in the world. A skier. So, I really don’t know why my husband wrote a threatening letter.” Shi Jinzi's tone was full of anxiety.There is no doubt that she pointed the finger at her husband. "About a month ago, Xinshi Development received a threatening letter. At that time, we thought it was just a prank. At that time, did your husband have any abnormalities?"

"The police have asked me carefully about this issue. However, I really can't think of anything. During this year, neither the company's situation nor the family's situation has changed much. The company's performance has been poor, and my son's condition has not shown any signs of improvement..." Yuki felt the confusion conveyed by Setsuko.He noticed that Shi Jinzi seemed to want to know the truth of the incident more than anyone else. "Your son seems to have myeloid leukemia. The situation doesn't seem very optimistic..." "Yes. We are waiting to see if we can find a suitable bone marrow provider." Teak knew that the chance of successful bone marrow matching was extremely low.Finding the right bone marrow provider is tantamount to expecting a miracle.Money and power play no role in this. Yuki thought, no matter how painful it is to lose his son, Kamijou can't just send threatening letters to the skier company to relieve his worries.This speculation is definitely wrong. "Can I see your husband's study?" Yuki said. "You want to see... the study?" "It doesn't have any special meaning. I just want to confirm and see if there is anything related to Xinshi Development and Fumi Hita." "Ah, that's it." Shi Jinzi nodded. "You can look at it as you like, it doesn't matter. But since you said so, I still hope you don't expect too much. In fact, the people sent by the police not only took away the computer, but also almost boxed away everything in the house. All book files." Yuki couldn't help but smacked his lips subconsciously.But when you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the police did this at all. However, if this were the case, he would not gain anything and would have to return to Sapporo empty-handed. "I see, just let me take a look." "I see. Please follow me." Shi Jinzi stood up. Kamijou's study is located on the south side of the house, and it is a very bright room.The study is about the size of eight tatami mats, with bookshelves and tableware racks on the wall, and a set of tables and chairs next to the window, allowing people to sit behind the window.The desk is empty, the computer probably was there before it was taken away.There are many gaps on the bookshelves, and the reason must be the same. "What is the reason for the police to take away materials and books? What are they paying attention to?" Shizuko shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't look at the contents of the books very carefully, but they packed them up and took them away." Teak walked to the bookshelf and scanned the spines of the remaining books, almost all of which were related to business and construction.In addition, there are some books related to medicine, probably all about leukemia. "Can I look inside the table?" "Please." Shi Jinzi replied. Teak sat down on the chair and opened the ebony desk drawer.There is almost nothing inside, only some stationery, business card holders, and seals are left. "It was really searched out." Yumu couldn't help showing a wry smile. "Yeah, the roster and letters were taken away. However, the police seem to be looking for the diary most. They also repeatedly asked if my husband had written a diary." "Your husband doesn't keep a diary, does he?" "It should be. At least I haven't heard him mention the diary." Teak nodded, and opened the other drawers.In an instant, his eyes focused on one thing. Inside the drawer are four plastic boxes, red, black, blue and yellow.Among them, the red, blue and yellow boxes are empty.Teak picked up the black box, opened the lid, and found an unused postcard inside.The address of Kamijou's family was written in the sender column. "What is this? What does this postcard mean?" "It's just a postcard. When receiving gifts from others, my husband will personally write a thank you letter. In this case, these postcards will be used." "Are these plastic boxes given by the printing factory?" "No, I bought this at the department store in front of the station. Because my husband said he wanted to buy some boxes to organize postcards." Teak put three boxes of red, yellow and blue on the table. "Are these three?" "Yes. These boxes come in sets of five." "—a set of five?" Teak looked inside the drawer again, "but there are only four in it." "Oh, did you? Maybe my husband took it somewhere else. I do remember there was a white box." "Bai, white..." Teak stared at her blankly, "Are you sure you remember correctly?" Shizuko frowned in surprise. "I'm sure I remember correctly. Is there something wrong with these boxes?" "No, nothing. Empty except for the black ones." "As I said before, the postcards and everything were taken back by the police." "I see." Teak put the box back in the drawer.His heartbeat started to speed up.He checked the other drawers and found no white box inside. Yuki stood up. "As you said, there are no clues left in this house." "Anyway, I'm now just waiting for the police report. I really don't understand why this is happening, and I don't know what to do. I thought my husband was just caught in a traffic accident. accident. However, I never thought that he might be planning to commit suicide..." "Suicide? Did the detective tell you so?" "They said that since he sent such a threatening letter to Xinshi Development, the bus accident was probably caused by my husband himself." "What do you think about this question?" Shi Jinzi frowned and shook his head vigorously. "I can't believe it anyway. No matter what happened, that person couldn't choose to die. He wouldn't even think about it. If he did, he would just waste his time saving his son's life for no reason." Shi Jinzi's words are very convincing.Indeed, for Nobuyuki Kamijou, his main concern should be how to save his son's life.It's hard to imagine that he would choose to give up and commit suicide in a strange way. "It would be great if that person could regain consciousness..." She lowered her head and bit her lip. "Regarding this incident, how do you plan to deal with the media?" Teak's question made her look confused. "At present, we have not issued any statement to the public. It seems that the police have not considered this matter." "That's the case, that would be the best. If there is any information leakage, I hope you can notify us immediately." "I see. I'm sure I'll be the first to let you know if that happens." "Then please." Teak bowed his head. After leaving Kamijou's house, Yuki returned to Nagaoka Station and walked around the stationery counters of nearby supermarkets and department stores.None of these places sell those postcard boxes.He asked the waiters in the store, but no one had ever seen a box like that. Teak walked into a cafe, drinking coffee while organizing his thoughts. He failed to get any important information from the Kamijou family.But, as compensation, he discovered a remarkable thing. Those postcard boxes were exactly the same as the plastic boxes that Hiroshi Hiroshi had given him.What's more, Hita held the white box that he couldn't find at Kamijou's house. Teak felt that this must not be a mere coincidence.This kind of thing doesn't happen everywhere. If it was not a coincidence, then Kamijou gave Hima that plastic box. In other words, the two of them should have known each other before. The question is, is it just a box that Kamijou handed over to Hima?Who put the bloody handprint on the paper inside the box? There is no doubt that the bloody handprint belongs to Hita Fumi's mother.Teak and the others conducted a scientific identification of the blood fingerprints.That being the case, the piece of paper could only have been put in by Feitian... Just as he was thinking about this, the phone rang, and it was from Xiaogu.After the call was connected, Xiaogu immediately asked him about the situation. "It was indeed Nobuyuki Kamijou who wrote the threatening letter, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Yuki reported to Xiaoguhui, "But we have no idea what his motives are. Mrs. Kamijou seems to know nothing. It is estimated that the police are now Haven't found any clues yet." A small sigh came from the microphone. "I finally went to Kamijou's house, didn't I gain anything?" "If you put it that way..." Teak didn't know whether to mention the plastic box to him.He hesitated again and again, and finally decided to keep silent. "It is said that the criminal police will investigate the KM construction tomorrow. Some clues may be found there, so I hope you will stay until tomorrow and come back." "In other words, am I going to live here tonight?" "You seem a little dissatisfied?" "I didn't mean that." "In order to keep you in Nagaoka, I'm going to give you some materials as a gift. I remember that you are very interested in Hita Hiroshi's wife, right?" "Because she has the same type of genetic combination as Hita Fumi." "It seems that Feitian's wife is also from Nagaoka." "Ah?" Yuki subconsciously clenched the phone, "Really?" "This morning, I found out after chatting with Coach Takakura. Hiroshi Hiroshi's wife used to work at the Nagaoka Crown Hotel. It is said that their wedding was held there. Coach Takakura was also present." "The Nagaoka Crown Hotel?" "You seem to want to stay." In front of Yuki's eyes, Kotani secretly chuckled. "I had no intention of disobeying the instructions of my superiors." Yuki hung up the phone, walked out of the coffee shop, and quickly found the location of Nagaoka Crown Hotel on the map.The hotel is not far from the station, about five minutes' walk away. Probably because of the weekday, the hotel was empty.Teak submitted an application for accommodation at the reception desk and got a single room right away. He wanted to ask the waiter if he knew Fei Tian Hongchang's wife.However, after seeing the other party's appearance, Yuki gave up the idea.The person who checked him in was a male waiter in his thirties who probably didn't even know Fei Tian Hongchang. Teak put the luggage in the house, and then wandered back and forth in the hotel.He's looking for someone who looks like he might know Hita's wife.After a while, he suddenly remembered something and walked straight to the second floor.There is an office on the second floor of the hotel that undertakes wedding activities. Teak walked into the office.There is a display window next to the entrance with photos of the newlyweds who were married at the hotel. Teak glanced casually into the display window.He saw a picture in a frame and stopped subconsciously.The groom in the photo is Hiroshi Hiroshi, absolutely unmistakable.There is a line of words written under the photo - The wedding ceremony of former Olympic skier Hiroshi Hida and his wife Ms. Tomoyo was held in this hotel. Yuki stared intently at the bride named Tomoyo. ——She doesn't look quite like Himita Fumi... Yuzuki realized this problem for the first time.
