Chapter 34 Section 3

Another two days passed. The detectives continue to carry out operations according to the previously decided investigation policy.With the smooth progress of the investigation, the idea that was originally thought to be outrageous gradually turned into an unshakable fact. Of course, Yusaku also joined the ranks of the investigation.However, he had been assigned a job far removed from the heart of the investigative operation, and instead merely asking for information that had little impact on the larger picture.Oda must have arranged this on purpose, but it was exactly what Yusaku wanted.Because he only needs to complete the work of inquiring about news moderately, and the rest of the time can be used for his own investigation.In this way, Yusaku felt that he was approaching the truth of the matter.

Today is a day for summarizing recent surveys. The company used a building that looked like an old warehouse as an office building.Pull open the glass door that says "Mitsui Electric Engineering", and inside is an office with 11 or 2 stacks.A middle-aged man, a young man, and a woman who appeared to be a high school student were sitting at three desks side by side.Seeing Yusaku, the middle-aged man sitting at the front stood up. "What's the matter?" "Excuse me, is Mr. Ejima here?" Yusaku asked while looking around the room. "Ejima is out. You are..."

The middle-aged man looked at Yusaku suspiciously.As soon as Yuzuo showed his ID, he immediately took a step back in fear, and the other two also waited with bated breath. "It's not that Mr. Ejima did anything bad." Yusaku deliberately showed a kind expression, "I just want to ask him something. When will he come back?" "Well, let me see," the man looked at a small blackboard on the wall, "I think it should be soon. If you don't mind the mess here, you can wait a little longer." "Then I won't be polite." Yong Zuo opened a folding iron chair beside him and sat down, while the man returned to his seat.

Yusaku looked around the room again.There is a cabinet made of iron corner frames against the wall, and corrugated boxes, wires and measuring instruments are placed in a mess.There is a door at the back, which is probably a warehouse. "Excuse me," the middle-aged man said to Yusaku, "are you investigating any case? Could it be Mr. Sugai's murder?" "That's it." The man showed an unexpected expression. "That matter is really serious. Mr. Ejima seems to be very concerned about it. After all, it is his daughter-in-law's business." Sure enough, they also knew about Sou Ejima's daughter.

"How is Mr. Ejima's work?" Yusaku asked. The middle-aged man nodded vigorously. "He really helped us a lot. After all, UR Electric is a super big company. If you are not good at contacting people, you often don't know who is in charge of a certain business, and we are in a weak position, so we can't complain at all. But since Jiang Dao Now that Mr. is here, there will be no more troubles." "Oh, that's really nice. You often talk to Mr. Ejima?" "Often. But we are so busy at work that we don't have time to chat." "Did you hear him talk about the old days?"

"Once upon a time...you mean when he was at UR Electric?" "No, much earlier, like World War II or shortly after the end of the war." "I've never heard of that." The man smiled wryly and turned his head to think for a while, "Speaking of World War II, how old was Mr. Ejima at that time? I never asked him about those things, so I don't think it's interesting." "Probably." Yuzuo responded moderately, folded his arms, and closed his eyes.He hates being asked endlessly by the other party. About ten minutes later, the door opened, and a man with white hair came in.He smiled and reported many things to the middle-aged man just now, and the middle-aged man said to him: "Hey, there is a guest waiting for you."

He looked back at Yuzuo. "I'm the inspector general of the Shimadzu Police Station. My surname is Wakura." Yusaku stood up and bowed his head in salute. The two came to a nearby coffee shop and chose the innermost seat to sit down.This store is quite big, but there are very few customers. After the waiter delivered the coffee, he didn't pay much attention to the customers.Brave thought, this is a good place to talk. When Sou Ejima heard the surname Wakura, he didn't seem to remember that Yusaku was a high school student who had dated his daughter before.Yuzuo thought it would be more beneficial to do so.

Sousuke looked at the coffee in front of him, lowered his head and remained silent.Maybe he was mentally prepared to some extent. "What I want to ask is something from the past," Yong Zuo broke the silence, "It was a long time ago. If I'm not mistaken, you should be nineteen or twenty years old at that time." "When does that mean?" "I'll talk about that later. Where were you? What were you doing?" Yong Zuo asks a question and observes Sousuke's reaction, only to see that the other party's gaze suddenly wanders. "When I was around 20 years old, I should have entered a company called Chuo Electric through a friend's introduction to learn engineering-related knowledge..." Sosuke said as if recalling the past.

"No," Yong Zuo strongly denied it, "I went to Central Electric to investigate. You started working for that company when you were 21 years old." "Since you said that...it might be, after all, it's been so long." Sousuke sipped his coffee, intending to mumble it. "When you were eighteen, your father died, right?" Yusaku changed the subject slightly, "So, you are responsible for raising your mother and younger sister?" "In the past, when a man turned eighteen, he was considered the head of the family." "About this point, I also asked Lingmei. She said that you left their mother and daughter in the country, left their hometown and went out to work alone, and then sent them the living expenses."

"Well, yes..." Sou Ejima looked at Yusaku with a wary look, and nodded slightly. The words "Ask Lingmei" must have disturbed him. Yusaku heard from Misako that she has an aunt, whom she seldom sees recently, but was often seen at family gatherings in the past.The place where my aunt lives now, if I take the tram, the journey takes about an hour.Yong Zuo went to meet this person yesterday. "Where the hell are you? What do you do to make money?" Yongzuo asked. "Well, it's a long story. As long as you want to make money and don't pick and choose, what kind of work can't you do?"

"But you borrowed money, didn't you?" Yusaku looked Sousuke squarely in the face and said without hesitation.He knew Sou was holding his breath. "This is what I heard from Lingmei. Lingmei is very grateful for what you have done for them. She said that when the family was helpless because of debts and the death of their father, it was my brother who took the money to support the family. But Mr. Ejima, there is one thing that I can't understand-an eighteen-year-old young man can earn money to support his family and pay off his astronomical debts. No wonder I doubt what kind of work you are doing." "...you suspect that I have done something bad?" Sousuke asked with a serious face, Yusaku shook his head. "I think that should not be a bad thing, but a pity." Those words made Sosuke lose his voice.Perhaps it was the slight tremor of his hand holding the coffee cup, which rattled the cup and tray. "Thirty years ago," Yong said in a slightly solemn tone, "I guess that the employee clinic of Guasheng Industry was conducting a certain research, and the person in charge was Dr. Masari Uehara, a brain medicine scholar. The research required Some people are used as experimental subjects, Mr. Ejima, you..." He moistened his throat with coffee that is not delicious, and continued: "You are one of them, right?" Sou took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, and pressed it against his brow, which wasn't sweating much. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about..." "In that case, please just listen to me. After listening, decide whether you want to continue playing stupid." Yongsaku took out his notepad, "You were employed by Guaran Industry as an experimental subject. You will That remuneration was sent home and the family’s debts were paid off. Also, it was an experiment on the brain, so Mr. Ejima, there should be marks left by special surgery on your head.” Zhuangsuke half opened his mouth, but he didn't speak after all.Yong Zuo didn't know whether he wanted to listen to it before making plans, or he didn't know what to say. "After you finished working as a guinea pig, you had a few years of peace and quiet. It didn't have a negative impact on your life, and you may have almost forgotten it. But an accident at work reminded you That incident. You must have broken your foot and suffered a severe blow to your head? So you were taken to a nearby general hospital." Zhuang Jie listened silently, the previous bewildered expression was no longer on his face. "You got an inexplicable diagnosis there. The foot injury has almost healed, but the general hospital wants you to be transferred to Shangyuan Hospital for treatment of the brain. You have no doubt about him, and he was transferred to Shangyuan Hospital for two months. What's more What is incomprehensible is that Uehara Hospital doesn’t even keep your medical records and hospitalization records. What’s going on here?” After Yusaku paused for a beat, he continued: "I visited the doctor who treated your brain at the beginning, but he passed away like Dr. Uehara. However, after investigating the experience of that doctor, I found a very interesting thing. He happened to be stationed in the infirmary of Guarang Industry at the time. What does it mean? The answer is right in front of you. That doctor also participated in Dr. Uehara’s unknown experiment. So, when you happen to be a patient When he went to the hospital where he worked, he saw the surgical marks on your head and immediately realized that you were one of the experimental subjects at that time. If there are no other problems, you should be fine, but there is a problem, so you can’t let you directly Discharged from the hospital. Moreover, that is a problem that only Dr. Uehara can solve. So he told you the whole story and asked you to be transferred to Uehara Hospital." In the middle of Yusaku's words, Sousuke began to shake his head slightly.His expression didn't seem to be purely negative, which made people feel a little disturbed, but Yusaku finished speaking in one breath without hesitation. "I don't know what kind of problem it is, and how Dr. Uehara and you discussed it. I only know that in terms of results, Dr. Uehara and UR Electric have decided to fully support you, so you and your family will continue to support you in the future. Life will be smooth sailing as if controlled by the rope of fate." Yusaku stopped talking at this point, and drank the warmed coffee.He wanted a refill, but the waiter hid behind the counter and didn't show up. Sou Ejima let out a long breath of relief. "So, what should I do? Do you want me to admit what you just said?" "I don't think it's nonsense. Didn't I say it at the beginning? It's a pity. However, I want to hear you explain that matter in detail. Otherwise, this case cannot be closed." "That's just your imagination, Mr. Criminal Police. What you're talking about is groundless speculation. I transferred to Shangyuan Hospital because I heard that the doctors there are very skilled, and Mr. Dean happens to be my old acquaintance. I can Get a lot of convenience." "The medical records are gone, what do you say?" "Then I don't know. Could it be the hospital's negligence? In short, these inexplicable nonsense are a kind of trouble to me." So Ejima was about to get up, but Yusaku quickly reached out his left hand and grabbed his right wrist tightly. "Let me tell you where the medical records are." Sousuke alternately looked at the grasped wrist and Yusaku's face with a mixture of displeasure and confusion. "That should be at your daughter's in-law's house." Sosuke's cheeks began to twitch. "Nonsense, why would it be in that—" "The task force is looking for the old material Masaki Sugai tried to take from the Kuwao family, but I know it's in the hands of Akihiko Kuwao. The title of the material is a study of computer-based heartbeat operation methods—am I right?" Sosuke's face was pale, and he slumped down on the chair weakly. Yusaku let go of his wrist. "I think those materials include your medical records. As long as you find those materials, you can prove that you were a subject of Dr. Uehara's experiment more than 30 years ago." Sousuke's shoulders heaved up and down, panting heavily, Yusaku seemed to be able to hear his panting. "If I wanted to, I could have thoroughly searched Gua Sheng's house and maybe even confiscated the folder. But I haven't told anyone on the task force yet." "Huh?" Sosuke looked up. "Only I know about this matter. Whether you can make this matter a permanent secret depends on what you do. If you tell everything, I can keep it a secret." "Why are you the only one who knows?" "You don't need to know this. But to put it simply, I investigated all the way here based on my personal interest." Sousuke listened seriously to Yusaku's words, presumably he was thinking about whether what the young detective said was true or not, and what his so-called personal interests were all about. "You really...will keep it a secret?" "I promise you." Sosuke nodded, and thought about it a little more.After a while, he looked up. "Before then, I'd like to refill my coffee." "OK." Be brave and call the waiter loudly.
