Chapter 13 Section 4

A man who looks weak on the outside, but acts boldly—this is Sayama's impression of Takuya Sueye.With squinting eyes and a narrow chin, Sayama thought that it might be difficult for such a person to see through his expression what he really thinks in his heart. As soon as Sayama mentioned the topic of Naoki Nishina, Suenaga frowned, and said regretfully: "He is the one who will carry the company in the future, how could he encounter such misfortune..." He gave people the impression that he was serious about things, but That's definitely not the case with this man.The relevant people in the company that Sayama surveyed showed this expression without exception.

"I came to bother you today because I wanted to ask about you and Ms. Hoshiko Nishina. I heard that you are the candidate for Ms. Hoshiko's husband. Is this true?" Sayama said while looking at Sueyong's face.His frank expression seemed to have changed slightly. "When asked in this way, I can only answer: that's not true." Sue Yong answered slowly, choosing his words carefully. "What do you mean by that?" Inspector Yano asked. "Because no one has personally said that I am Miss Xingzi's husband candidate. I don't deny that I often meet Miss Xingzi."

"I see. You are dating, but you haven't talked about marriage yet?" Sayama said. "Actually, we're not dating, I'm just Miss Xingzi's playmate." Su Yong shook his head lightly. "I heard that your matter has spread in the company. Did Mr. Nishina Naoki say anything about this matter?" Sue Yong showed an expression of "so you know the truth", then scratched his ear with his little finger, and let out a sigh of relief.He seemed to give up struggling, thinking that the fire could not be covered with paper. "He scolded me for the strange rumors in the company because I was careless." Su Yong said.

"Is that the only way? As far as we know, he seems to say that he doesn't recognize your relationship with Miss Hoshiko." Sayama looked at the notepad and said, then slightly raised his head to look at Sueyong. Sue Yong looked away for a moment, but immediately pulled his gaze back. "He said he was going to find a marriage partner for his sister, so strange rumors would trouble him." "In other words, he doesn't recognize you as Miss Xingzi's marriage partner?" "That's right. But," Sue Yong shrugged and scratched his head, "From my point of view, this incident surprised me. After all, as I said just now, I am not that important to Miss Xingzi. Alas, but, I can understand how the chief feels."

Therefore, it's impossible for me to hate Naoki Nishina or find him in the way - Suenaga seems to want to say so. "In this case, what do you plan to do in the future? Are you no longer seeing Miss Xingzi?" "I don't know. Because before this, I never asked Miss Xingzi, and she always asked me to go out unilaterally." "I see, so it depends on Miss Xingzi's attitude?" "Yes." Su Yong closed his eyes lightly and retracted his jaw. Sayama picked up the notepad and ballpoint pen, posed as if he was going to take notes, and then deliberately asked in a businesslike tone: "One last question. Can you tell me as much as possible about your actions last night?"

Sue Yong waited for a while, and then let out a "huh" breath. "Alibi?" "Yes, did you go to work as usual yesterday?" "No," Sue Yong said, "I went to Nagoya on a business trip yesterday." "A business trip to Nagoya?" Sayama and Yano couldn't help but glance at each other.Naoki is on a business trip to Osaka, and Suenaga is on a business trip to Nagoya. "Early in the morning?" "Of course it was early in the morning. I went to the company Meixigongji. I have been with the other party's people all the time."

"Around how long did you stay in that company?" "Actually, they invited me to dinner. After dinner, it should be around ten o'clock. Then I will go back to the hotel. Nagoya Central Hotel." "So you spent the night?" "Yes. Then, I went to Meisai Koki again early this morning, and came back after finishing the rest of the work. I went to the company for the report first, and I just came back here. So, frankly, I am a little tired. " Sueyong deliberately massaged his shoulders. "Sorry. By the way, is your business trip a temporary decision?"

"It can't be considered a temporary decision. It was decided a week or so ago." "A week ago." Sayama asked for the contact information of Meisai Koki, and Suenaga handed over a business card; it was the business card of Meisai Koki's technical section chief.Sueyong said he has been with this man. "I borrowed it." After speaking, Sayama accepted the business card. That night, an investigation meeting was held at the investigation headquarters of the Komae Bureau.Naoki Nishina's actions after yesterday were written on the blackboard. leave home at six in the morning

11:00 am to 4:00 pm to attend the International Academy Arrive at Osaka Green Hotel at 6:00 p.m. to check in "And the body was discovered at 7 o'clock this morning. The location is the parking lot of my apartment." After speaking, the Taniguchi Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 1 looked around at the investigators gathered together, as if asking: Do you have any comments? ? "What about the presumed time of death?" asked the senior criminal policeman in the jurisdiction. "According to the opinion of Associate Professor Ando, ​​the forensic doctor, it was between 5pm and 8pm yesterday. The details will have to wait for the results of the autopsy. I don't think there will be much change."

"In this way, we believe that the crime scene is in Osaka, so there is nothing wrong in principle?" Another detective said. "Probably. Because Nishina is in Osaka at six o'clock. His luggage is in the hotel, and he has the hotel key in his coat pocket." "In this way, the crime scene may be near the hotel." "This possibility is very high. Tomorrow, I will send a few people to Osaka." At this time, Yano, who was sitting next to Sayama, raised his hand and asked a question. "Are you sure it's PeopleSoft who went through the hotel check-in procedures?"

Taniguchi looked at Sayama, not Yano. "I sent the photo to the Osaka Prefectural Police and asked them to confirm it. The counter staff seemed to remember Nishina, so I heard he was right." "The counter staff have really good memory." Sayama said.This is his frank feeling.Human memory is the least reliable. "I am also very concerned about this, so I checked. PeopleSoft asked to choose a room when checking in. There were many vacancies, so the counter staff asked him which room he wanted to live in. PeopleSoft seemed to answer that it was best to stay away from the elevator as much as possible. So the counter staff gave him a room like that according to his request. I heard that it was because of such a conversation that the counter staff remembered PeopleSoft clearly.” "That's right...Nishina always chooses rooms like this?" "I don't know, but I have heard from the hotel staff that this kind of guests are very common." In short, it was confirmed that it was Naoki himself who went through the housing procedures. "May I ask a question?" Shindo, a young man from Taniguchi's team, raised his hand slightly, "The body was found in Tokyo, does that mean it was carried by the criminals?" "Probably." It was not Taniguchi who answered, but a senior criminal police officer in the area.Taniguchi nodded silently. "Why did the criminal go to such trouble? If you just don't want people to know the scene of the crime, there is no need to transport the body all the way from Osaka to Tokyo. Just throw it in the mountains or in Osaka Bay." "Could it be that they wanted to create suspicion and make people think that the victim was killed in Tokyo?" someone said. But Shindo immediately denied it: "No, I don't think it is possible. There should be many people who can prove that Naoki Nishina was in Osaka at the time. It would take a lot of labor and effort to do so, but it would be in vain." "That is to say, as long as we know why the prisoner transported the body to Tokyo, maybe the truth of the murder will be revealed, right...?" Taniguchi said to himself.They looked at Sayama and asked, "How is Nishina's interpersonal relationship?" First of all, Sayama explained what he found out at MM Heavy Industries today.There was no information that he was having an affair with others at work.If you really want to say it, there are rumors that the deputy head of the office, Hagiwara, instigated him to squeeze him out. "Originally, Hagiwara was supposed to be the head of the office, but he was snatched away by a young man from another department. He must be in a bad mood." The post of Director of the Development Planning Office. "But Hagiwara seems to have been staying in the company. I think it is impossible for him to commit crimes." "Besides, his motive for committing the crime is not strong. However, the strength of the motive cannot be judged by a third party." After Taniguchi finished talking to himself, he ordered Sayama: "Please report the matter of Nishiko Xingzi's husband candidate. .” Sayama had already reported the matter of Suenaga to Taniguchi. As soon as Sayama mentioned Takuya Sueyong, the expressions of all the investigators changed. "The throne of the son-in-law of the next president, this way you can save twenty years of struggle." The director of the jurisdiction used the latest buzzwords. "That Hoshiko Nishina seems to have the same father as Naoki." Taniguchi's words also surprised Sayama, it was the first time he heard about it. "The criminal police from Xindang just investigated." After speaking, Taniguchi shifted his gaze to Xindang.Xintang stood up. "Nishina Toshiki and Mitsui Fumiko, who was an employee of MM Heavy Industries, married, gave birth to Naoki, and divorced soon after. At that time, the child was raised by Fumiko. As for the negotiation between the two, the details are still under investigation. Toshiki Two years after divorcing Fumiko, he married his second wife, Kiyomi Yamamoto. Kiyomi passed away due to illness the year before last. The crystallization of love between Toshiki and her is the married Sokata Saori, and the topic character Nishina Hoshiko just now. However, Toshiki probably still wanted a son. As soon as he found out that Fumiko Mitsui had passed away in a car accident, he went through the formalities of adopting Naoki. Naoki was fifteen years old at the time." "The Nishina family's foundation, I still want my son to inherit it." Said the senior detective.Taniguchi added: "Let the son inherit the foundation and let the son-in-law assist the son. This seems to be Nishina Toshiki's idea. The reason why Naoki said that his sister's marriage partner should be decided by himself is probably because of this behind-the-scenes factor." "What about Xingzi? It's impossible for girls today to accept this ancient concept." "I feel the same." Taniguchi nodded, "About this matter, further investigation is needed. Also, the relationship between Sue Yong and Hoshiko. Sue Yong said that he was simply Hoshiko's playmate, and he didn't seem to realize that he was her husband candidate." "Really?" The person speaking with sarcasm was the district director who just ridiculed Su Yong for "being rich and rich". "If Suenaga has such ambitions, Naoki's existence will be a thorn in his side." After speaking, the director asked Taniguchi: "How about Suenaga's alibi?" "He has an alibi." Sayama replied, "Suanega went to Nagoya on a business trip from yesterday to today." "Nagoya," the director whispered, "but Suenaga just happened to be on a business trip, so it's really interesting." Taniguchi leaned his elbows on the conference table and clasped his palms in front of him. "If he was in Nagoya, wouldn't the crime be possible?" "According to his own statement, he was with the client until about ten o'clock." When Sayama said that, Taniguchi sighed, "Ten o'clock. That...is impossible." But his expression was not completely acceptable, and he seemed to be brooding over something.Sayama also had the same expression.
