Chapter 35 Section 35

The morning after learning of Kamijou's death, Yuzuki stood on the streets of Sapporo.The fine snow fluttering in the sky made the ground wet. Teak walked into the hotel next to the station and looked at the lounge on the first floor.Kotani was sitting at the table inside.He noticed Teak and waved him lightly. "How's the situation?" Teak asked as soon as he sat down.He ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter who walked up to him. "Those guys at the police department are already panicking. It's only natural, because they can't get any news out of Nobuyuki Kamijou anymore."

"I heard that the police want to find Hita...Fumi Hita to ask about the situation..." "They're sure to say something. What a nuisance." The waiter brought the coffee.Teak didn't add anything, just picked up the cup and drank it. ——Heida intends to tell Fengmei the truth today.After that, it appears he will turn himself in to the police.If this is not done, the direction of the police investigation will be greatly skewed. Can I do something - on the plane, teak has been thinking about this question, but still can not find the answer. "As I told you on the phone, the culprit is probably an insider of the KM Construction Company. This possibility is very high. But we don't know what intelligence the police have."

Xiaogu shook his head with a straight face. "The cause was an internal dispute within the company. If Fumi Hita had nothing to do with the incident, I would be very thankful. But it's definitely not that simple. The police are still sticking to the threatening letter." "It's those threatening letters written by the previous article." Yuki thought, since there is a threatening letter, it is impossible for this incident to have nothing to do with Hita Fumi.As long as there is no threatening letter, Kamijou's murder in Sapporo can be interpreted as a kind of "accident".

Kotani glanced at his watch. "It's about time we got going." "I heard Mrs. Kamijou would go directly to the hospital by car from the airport." Kokichi nodded. "That's what the secretary named Odagiri said." "What about Nobuyuki Kamijou's body? Will it be transported back to Nagaoka?" "Who knows. For ordinary people, he should be cremated here. However, considering his status, the family members may use a plane to transport his body. I heard that funeral service personnel will also come with them." Teak thought to himself, if there was no body, KM Construction would not be able to organize the company funeral.

The two got into a taxi and drove towards the hospital.Kotani said that they were going to the hospital to visit Mrs. Kamijou. "There's no need to bow your head and apologize to her, don't worry." Xiaogu said, "But if it's a simple bus accident, we really can't shirk our responsibility here." "I have met Mrs. Kamijou many times, and she doesn't mean to blame us." "Our president seems to be relieved. Since the cause is an internal dispute in their company, we have become the victimized party. He even began to consider whether to properly file a claim for compensation."

Yuki sighed wordlessly.When he thinks about Feitian and Fengmei's affairs, a thought "it's not that simple" will arise in his heart. At this time, the cell phone in the inner pocket of his jacket rang.Yuki said "Excuse me" and took out the phone.The call was from Kaizuka. "Good morning, what can I do?" Yuki asked. "Shingo is gone." "what?" "Shingo is gone. I can't find it anywhere. It looks like he left the hotel this morning. Yuzuki-san, do you know what's going on?" "Wait a moment, please. Why did he leave the hotel? What's the matter?"

"When I woke up this morning, he wasn't in the room. The bag he brought was gone." "Have you ever called on the phone?" "I called, but I couldn't get through. I asked the people at the hotel, and they said that a boy who looked like Shingo left on the bus." "Why did he suddenly... Did anything happen to you yesterday?" "It's nothing. If I insist, the victim of the bus accident died yesterday, and the hotel seems to be in a panic." It seems that the news of Kamijou's death has indeed spread to the North Pride Hotel. "However, as I said before, that guy has been acting strange recently. He is absent-minded when talking, and he can't concentrate during training."

Teak bit his lip.He was preoccupied with Hita and Kamijou, but he didn't care about Shingo.Shingo's strange appearance, he had heard from Kaizuka before. "I said Mr. Yuki, do you know where he will go?" "I don't know either. He shouldn't be familiar with it." "Yeah. Where can I go?" Kaizuka seemed very helpless, "Could it be that guy returned to his home in Tokyo?" "He probably doesn't have that much money on him." "Who knows. I never asked him how much money he had." "All in all, let's take a look at the situation first. He might just be in an impetuous mood for a while, and he might come back suddenly. At that time, Mr. Kaizuka, please don't scold him."

"I know. As long as he comes back." "Just wait a while. If he hasn't come back at noon, you can call me again. I will contact his father here." "I see." After hanging up the phone, Yuki explained to Kotani.Xiaogu's eyebrows stood upside down, and his lips pursed. "What's going on? Did you run away because the training was too hard? It's just that. Is Kaizuka-kun being too strict?" "No, I don't think that's the problem. I've seen it many times, and Mr. Kaizuka's training plan is not excessive." "Then why did he run away?"

"I don't know. Then again, it's not certain that Shingo escaped." Xiaogu smacked his lips and patted the glass window. "Too busy to give us trouble. Now he can't say he hates cross-country skiing. If so, I'll fire his dad from the company." Yuki wanted to say "You don't have that power", but held back. There were a few people at the entrance of the hospital, who looked like TV station staff.Regarding this incident, many episodes of gossip programs were broadcast on TV.After hearing the news that the victim had died and that the family members of the deceased would come, many reporters rushed over.

There are other media staff at the door.These people milled around, but there was no sense of tension.It seems that the incident has not yet developed to the point of concern. Media staff were unable to enter the hospital gates.Teak and the taxi they took passed by them and drove towards the entrance of the hospital. At this time, the figure of a person attracted Teak's attention.He kept a certain distance from the media staff and stood there blankly.He was wearing an old blazer, and his sunburned face was lifeless. Yuki couldn't help wondering: Why is this man here——"What's wrong with you?" Xiaogu asked. "No, nothing." Teak replied. In the hospital, in addition to the police, there is also the general manager and publicity director of the North Pride Hotel.The victims were dead, and there seemed to be a little calm in their expressions.It seems that just like Xiaogu said, after knowing that this may be a dispute within the company of the deceased, they seem to be relieved. Kamijo Setsuko and his party seem to have not arrived yet.How to deal with the remains? "Can I leave for a while?" Teak said in Xiaogu's ear. "It's okay, what's the matter with you?" "There's a friend outside...I'll come back as soon as I go." "I see." Xiao Gu nodded, with a hint of surprise on his face. Teak walked out of the hospital and walked towards the place where the media staff gathered.A man ran up to him and asked "what's the matter", but he ignored it. "What are you doing?" Teak called out to the man he saw just now. The man turned his head, his eyes widened, and he looked at Teak in surprise. "So you're here too. Aren't you the person in charge of Hita Fumi's promotion? You should follow her." "Do you usually contact Shingo?" "Call him sometimes. Um, okay? I'm the guy's father after all." "Of course it doesn't matter." This man is Togoshi Shingo's father, Togoshi Katsuya.Teak knew that he worked in an affiliated company developed by Xinshi, but he didn't know where he worked. "I was trying to get in touch with you. In fact, Shingo-kun disappeared from the hotel in the training camp. Do you know the details?" Katsuya Torikoshi shrank his neck and nodded. "I know. He was with me just now." "Staying with you? Did he run out of the hotel just to see you?" "Yes. Last night, the guy called me and said to meet at Sapporo Station. This morning, I took the first flight here. But you don't have to worry, I told Shingo to go back to the hotel go." Teak was confused. "Wait a minute. Why did you meet Shingo? Also, what are you doing in a place like this? You shouldn't have any reason to be interested in this incident." Katsuya Torigoshi looked at the teak carefully, then shook his head vigorously. "It may be a chance to meet you here. Why did you come here? It must be related to the incident last time. So, you should know what I want to say." Yuuki frowned, staring intently at Katsuya Togogoshi's tanned face. "What do you know about that incident?" "It's not just about knowing something." Katsuya Togogoshi smiled lightly.
