detective club 东野圭吾 1837Words 2018-03-22
A month has passed. Narita rushed to the chairman's office as usual, and when he made a sharp turn at the corner of the corridor, he bumped into the fat sales manager. "So it's Narita-kun, and he's still so busy." "Thanks to you." "You have also experienced a lot of wind and rain, but it is a blessing that you have turned in the right direction now. Although it is a bit difficult now, you will definitely see a rainbow soon." "thanks!" Narita bowed, said goodbye to the sales manager, and once again said to speed up the pace, he tried his best to restrain the expression that would relax unconsciously.

——Correct direction...... Is it? He was absolutely right, Narita thought.If the direction was wrong at that time, maybe I would not be where I am today. In that sense, the piece of information provided by the detective was invaluable. That day, after the detective returned home, Narita finished reading the document alone.There are many documents bound inside, one of which is titled 'Regarding the Suicide of Mr. Masaki Tojiro'.It says the following: · No one has any clues about the motive of Mr. Tojiro's suicide; · According to Mr. Narita's testimony, Mr. Tojiro's feet were located far away from the table.In other words, if Mr. Fujijiro committed suicide, he could only climb up the platform, wrap the rope around his neck and kick off the platform.However, there is no such kind of platform on site that can be climbed.

That's all there is to it.But these contents are enough for Narita to understand what the detective wants to express.In other words, they questioned the fact that Tojiro committed suicide. ——It was someone who killed the chairman, and then pretended to hang himself... But why did he want the corpse..., he wondered as he turned to the next page, the title that caught his eyes seemed to see through his inner doubts. "Why did the prisoner take the body away?" A note that appeared to be torn from a notebook was pasted under the title, and it read: "After the body was discovered, the conversation between Mr. Narita, Ms. Eriko, and Mr. Gao Ming (in the reception room)

Jiang Lizi: "Can't it be faked as homicide?"If he kills me, I can get the insurance money. ' Gao Ming: "If the police are dispatched, things will be troublesome. It is more appropriate to die in an accident. It can not only get the insurance money, but also save face for the Masaki family." ' Narita: 'Homicide and accidental death are not acceptable.From the state of the rope's strangle marks and bruises, it can be easily seen through. ' Gao Ming: 'Is it that simple? ' Narita: 'It's very simple, it's the foundation of forensic science. '"

Narita's hand holding the document trembled uncontrollably, it was Gao Ming who killed Tojiro.He originally planned to kill Tojiro and pretend to hang himself, but through this dialogue, he learned that it was purely futile, so he had to recover the body in the end. Thinking about it this way, the reason why Gao Ming, who had been advocating calling the police until halfway through, immediately agreed to carry out the disguise work, was ready to come out. Sweat dripped from Narita's palms and forehead as he continued to turn the page.The title of the next article is: "Why is the scene a secret room?"

There is also a note attached below. "After the disguise work in Mr. Tojiro's room is over. Narita: 'Are the windows locked? ' Gao Ming: 'No problem, all locked' It turned out that Narita finally realized it.At that time, in order to make it easier for him to sneak into the house again, Gao Ming actually didn't lock all the windows. —But what happened after he left the room?There was no doubt that the windows were locked then.And the next note answered this question again. · When entering Mr. Tojiro's room, it was Mr. Gao Ming who opened the door; · Mr. Narita looked at the direction where Miss Mazi left;

· Mr. Narita judged that the door lock was opened after hearing the sound of 'click'. ——At that time, I really didn't pay attention to Gao Ming's movements.It was only after hearing the sound of 'click' that the door was judged to be opened.But there are actually many ways to make this sound, such as turning the key halfway and then snapping it back... No, Narita shook his head, and there was another person who confirmed that the door was locked. He clearly remembered the maid Mazi saying, "The door is locked"... Narita turned to the next page.Unexpectedly, the above content is incompatible with the previous ones, and there is no mention of hanging and the secret room.First of all, some investigations on the relationship between men and women that ordinary detective agencies often do. The first large photo posted is a scene of a man and woman walking out of a love hotel.At first, Narita thought that the detective had mistakenly mixed in the reports of other cases. However, when he saw the appearance of the man and woman in the photo, all the mysteries were revealed.

That couple is Gao Ming and Mazi. According to the testimony obtained by the police from Gao Ming, in the middle of the banquet, Tojiro quietly ordered Gao Ming to come to his room.And when he followed this instruction and came to Tojiro's room, Tojiro showed him a document.It was a document collected by the Detective Club, proving that Gao Ming took bribes.At the back of that document were some photos, all of which were scenes of a secret meeting between the relevant personnel of the construction teams of the three newly opened branches and a specific colleague.Interestingly, in addition to the information on bribery, there was also a photo of Gao Ming having a tryst with Mazi on it, and the detective's comment "has nothing to do with the bribery case" was recorded next to it.

Tojiro didn't get angry, but said in a very calm tone: Break up with Ryoko! "I was very optimistic about you before, but I didn't expect to be bitten by my own dog. It's really worthless to me!" "Director..." "Don't say anything, get out of this house with your tail between your legs!" Tojiro whispered his final sentence.In the next moment, Tojiro's neck was pinched between Gao Ming's hands. Gao Ming, who has never read mystery novels, naively believes that as long as he wraps a rope around his neck, he can pretend to hang himself.After everything was done, he left the room through the window and walked back to the banquet hall.
