Chapter 38 Section 4

Takuya thought to himself, I really can't figure it out.This is what he thought when he looked at the folder he snatched from Yue Nakamori during the day.He got under the covers and stared at the folder under the lamp.The contents of the materials are the investigation results of the Safety Division related to the robot accident that occurred last year, newspaper reports, police opinions, reports from the Research and Development Division 21, etc.It also includes the specifications of Naomi, the robot that caused the accident, and data related to the products assembled by Naomi at that time.

Why is Naoki collecting such things?I can't figure it out. Even if someone was investigating that accident, if it wasn't for Naoki, Takuya wouldn't be particularly concerned.He had thought about it a long time ago, there will always be such a person.And even though he was in charge of the second development section, Takuya didn't have much contact with Naomi's development.This is because Naomi does not particularly require robots with outstanding performance, but just replaces incompetent humans to do tasks that humans can also do.He believes that the development of robots of this level does not require a special effort by himself.Even so, the reason why Takuya was worried was because he heard Naoki investigating.

After sorting out a series of murder cases, it became clear that Naoki had something to hide from Takuya and the others.When he planned to murder Yasuko from the beginning, he had his own secret.That is to say, in addition to Takuya and the others, there is also the assistant D. So, where exactly is D?Why did Naoki have to hide his existence? Taku also must try to find out the mysterious person D, because this person has a co-signed letter when the plan to murder Yasuko was drawn up. But having said that, there is one thing that Tuo also can't understand, that is, since the pen murder case, no one has targeted himself as a target.

Of course, Takuya himself was fully on guard, and the prisoner couldn't act rashly.However, thinking that after Naoki's death, the prisoner sent a poisoned pen immediately, he should wish to kill himself as soon as possible. Or—it can also be thought of this way, will the mysterious character D think that Hashimoto and Taku also know his identity, and want to get rid of them together and then quickly?But Judgment Takuya didn't seem to know, so he changed his mind and thought there was no need to kill him—— Taku also thinks that this is possible.So, what is D's reason for killing Naoki?

Is the answer hidden here—— Takuya thought so, and turned his gaze back to the folder again. "I really want to know the answer." He can't help but speak aloud as he walks through the process from accident to resolution.Necessary investigations are carried out at each stage, and the report is also very standard, but full of flaws. It is natural for the second development class not to admit that they have made mistakes, but once an accident occurs, they will see Lie Xinxi's safety class.From an objective point of view, I feel that the safety class has been identified as an operator's negligence from the very beginning.The safety department accused the operator of negligence in a rather strong tone regarding the items recorded in the operation procedure book, but the tone was soft when it came to the performance and specifications of the robot.

Takuya remembered that after the accident, his department was asked to produce quite a lot of materials.The head of the section still remembers the countermeasures meeting with those data.He observed how the situation evolved with anxiety, but the matter did not spread to the second development class, and the incident was resolved. Takuya is convinced that this is because of Nishina Toshiki's power, and he must have used various relationships to suppress the matter before it became complicated.So the reason why Nishina Naoki investigated this matter was because he held a grudge against his father, and wanted to resist him——

Takuya thought to himself, anyway, let's investigate a little bit.Then, he smiled wryly, not expecting that he would actually take over the investigation of this matter.He closed the folder and turned off the lamp switch.In the darkness, the weeping face of Yumi Nakamori suddenly appeared. The next morning, Takuya immediately went to the safety department to meet the person in charge of investigating the accident, but the shabby-looking person in charge named Baba showed a blatant expression of suspicion to Takuya's question. "So far, why are you asking this?" Baba sat at the desk, looking at Takuya from head to toe as if checking.

"I have something I want to investigate. Is the data at that time or the data still there?" "Of course I keep it, because it's a rule." After checking Takuya's attire, Baba replied without looking at him at all. "Can you show me?" So Baba got up from the chair with a displeased face, then took out a thick folder from the corner cabinet by the wall, and blew in front of Takuya as if deliberately provoking anger.Dust flew up, slightly covering Takuya's face. "Look." Said the horse farm. Takuya thanked him, took the folder, and opened it immediately.Before long, he was disappointed.The contents are almost the same as Naoki's folder.

"Do you have any comments?" Baba, who had been watching Takuya's every move, asked him. Takuya thought to himself: What he used was not a "problem", but an "opinion", which is really interesting. "I have a small question." He turned the folder to the racecourse and said, "I think the investigation period is very short. Is there such a thing?" The investigation period stated in the report was about two weeks, and considering that this was a fatal accident, it should take about a month. "That's not the case." Machang said: "Because it is enough to find out the cause and problem. Of course, the work should be solved as soon as possible."

"Is there any particular rush to close the case?" "The superiors always order us to solve it as soon as possible, so if the work is delayed for too long, it's fine. I can't bear to be complained about if I solve it early." "No, I'm not complaining." "Are you the one who develops the robot?" Baba said, looking at the badge pinned on Takuya's chest, with the department and name written on it. "In this case, you'd better not gossip about this issue, after all, this matter has been settled by the operator's negligence."

Takuya looked down at the racecourse that still refused to meet his eyes, and he turned to the side impatiently. "I see, thank you." After returning the folder to the racecourse, Takuya walked out of the office of the security department. While closing the door, he thought to himself: If Hoshiko and I get married and hold real power, the first thing to do is to put that idler outside the racecourse.If a person's brain is not sharp and he doesn't know how to speak, there is no guarantee that he will not kick the iron plate one day. Leaving aside this matter, there is no way to investigate it - judging from the attitude of the racecourse, maybe the superior gave him a silence order in response to the accident. In this way, too conspicuous actions must be avoided.When Takuya left the building where the Safety Section was located and walked towards the main building, he saw a man coming out of the front lobby.I've seen him often these days.He was Detective Sayama who had come to Takuya several times.He seemed to have come to inquire about something again, and perhaps he hadn't found anything, with a slumped face. Takuya jogged closer and called out to him.Sayama also noticed him immediately, and bowed his head respectfully. "Are you going back?" Takuya asked. "Yeah, it's nothing serious today anyway." "Would you like some drinks? However, it's just the unpalatable instant coffee from the vending machine." "That's it," Sayama thought for a while, and then said, "Then I will accompany you." Tuo also led the criminal police to the company's internal bus waiting area a little away from the gate, a small room of more than two square meters.Here, no one will come except when the bus leaves. "What do you want to do today?" Takuya bought two cups of coffee from the vending machine at the door and handed one to Sayama. "Sorry—oh, it's really not a big deal. I heard that Yasuko Amamiya, who passed away, went to a musical with a female friend at the end of her life. I came to see her today and asked about the situation at that time." "I see. Then?" Takuya sat on the bench next to him. "One question and three answers." Sayama tilted his head with a troubled expression, drinking the not-so-tasty coffee with relish. "The female friend said that Yasuko didn't look like she would commit suicide. She said she was very happy. However, people often do this before committing suicide." The detective took another sip of his coffee.Takuya looked at his profile, trying to see through his inner thoughts. It is impossible for this calm detective to readily accept that Yasuko committed suicide. "By the way, what happened to the child? Have you found out who the father of the child is?" This question is not so much a test of the police's actions, but rather a question of what he cares about. But the detective patted the back of his neck embarrassingly. "This matter is still unclear, and this kind of problem is difficult to investigate." "I think so." Takuya said, "Maybe she played with many men." "Well, yes." Sayama said: "Don't tell others, she had two abortions when she was a student. I also met the doctor who performed her abortion at that time. The doctor even threatened her that if you have another abortion this time, you will be fined." There is no way to get pregnant again. Alas, so I am thinking now, it is probably because of this reason that she has no intention of having an abortion this time." "That's right..." Takuya thought to himself, this is nothing new. "Well, it's not just her," Sayama said. "Young girls these days have messy sex. I'm totally out of step with the times, and men can't stand it." "It's hard for parents." "Really," Sayama nodded, and said as if remembering something, "But, there are many situations that deserve sympathy." "pity?" "Yeah, it's like the case of Ms. Amamiya Yasuko. I heard that her high school teacher's father had an affair with a graduate, and the woman was pregnant and gave birth to the child without authorization. If that kind of thing spreads In the future, her father will lose face, and more importantly, forced resignation can be expected. Her father has no choice but to adopt a child and pay alimony. But this is not a small sum. The woman threatened her father to make it known to the world, Her father had to pay some extra money. As a result, the family was in a mess, and his wife ran away from home. Ms. Amamiya must have had enough of that kind of family. After she came to Tokyo, she never came home." After the detective finished speaking , Takuya couldn't think of an opinion to express for a while.Because he couldn't imagine that Kang Zi had such a past. "Did her father tell you about it himself?" Takuya asked. Sayama hastily waved his hand in denial. "Miss Amamiya's high school classmate is in Tokyo. I heard from her. Miss Amamiya didn't seem to tell anyone else about it." Taku also thought unhappily, she is ashamed of her father, the family ugliness of parents will always affect children. "Then..." Sayama squeezed the paper cup he had drunk and threw it into the trash can beside him. "I'm about to go. Thank you for your hospitality." "As for the investigation, please do your best." "Well, I will try my best." After finishing speaking, Sayama stood up, and suddenly turned to look in Takuya's direction as if thinking of something, "By the way, I was rude a while ago. I stalked you to confirm your alibi, Did it make you feel uncomfortable?" "Oh, it's really uncomfortable," Takuya responded, "Has there been any progress on that matter?" "No, this matter is also helpless." However, Sayama paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have a new idea. Regarding the murder of Naoki Nishina that happened first, I suspect that there were accomplices in that murder." "Oh?" Tuoya admired, "In other words, are there two prisoners?" "Oh, that's the problem." Sayama stared at Takuya's face, "There are not one or two prisoners. The new idea is that there may be three people. How about it, is it interesting?" Takuya was shocked for a moment.But at the same time, he felt Sayama watching his reaction.Sayama sensed the possibility of several accomplices by some kind of coincidence, but because it was groundless, he was testing himself. "This is really interesting, please tell me about it some other day." Takuya pretended to be calm, thinking, how could I be fooled like this? !It is not difficult for him to keep his face unchanged. "Okay, I will tell you some other day." The policeman left in front of Takuya with the same expression as before.
