Chapter 5 Section 4

His family held his funeral two days later.I took the Audi car driven by Fuyuko to his hometown in Shizuoka.Surprisingly, the road conditions on the expressway are very smooth, so it only took about two hours to travel from Tokyo to his hometown in Shizuoka. His old home is a two-story wooden building.Surrounded by a wide courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence, the main use is a home vegetable garden. Two women stood quietly by the gate.One of them was a silver-haired old woman over sixty, and the other was a tall, slender young woman.I think it should be his mother and sister. Half of the people who came to the funeral were his relatives, and the other half were his colleagues at work.I don't know why, but at a glance, I can see the difference between people who work in publishing and other people in general.Dongzi found someone she knew among those people, so she walked over to chat with him.It was a man with dark skin and a slightly protruding lower abdomen. I heard that he was the editor in charge of Kawazu Masayuki.Through Dongzi's introduction, I learned that his surname was Tamura.

"But I really don't feel anything other than surprise!" Tamura said while shaking his fat face. "According to the autopsy results, he was killed the night before the body was found. It seems to be poisoned!" "Poison?" I heard this for the first time. "I heard it is a kind of pesticide. After being poisoned to death, it seems that he was hit on the head with a hammer or something!" "..." An inexplicable feeling came to my chest. "It seemed that he went to eat at a restaurant that he frequented on weekdays that night. From the digestion state of the food at that time, it seemed that he could make a correct guess, so this guess seems to be very reliable. Ah! These things You should already know, right?"

I was noncommittal, but nodded lightly, and then asked, "What is the estimated time of death?" "About ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, that's what the police said! But actually, I asked him that day if he wanted to go for a drink together if he had time. In the end, he refused me and said yes I've already made an appointment with someone else." "So, Masayuki Kawazu made an appointment with someone?" Toko said. "It seems so! If I knew this kind of thing would happen, I should have chased after him to find out whose appointment he was going to." Tamura said regretfully.

"Does the police know about this?" I asked. "Of course! So, they seem to be actively looking for the person who met Kawazu Masayuki at that time, but I heard that there is still no clue!" After he finished speaking, he bit his lower lip tightly. When the incense ceremony was over and I was about to go back, a woman who was about twenty-five years old walked up to Tamura and greeted him.After the woman nodded, she asked, "Didn't you meet Mr. Chuanjin recently?" "That's right, because we haven't worked together since that time. Mr. Kawazu probably feels that he doesn't fit me well!"

The very masculine woman spoke like a man.However, she may not be that familiar with Tamura.After exchanging these two sentences, she gave us a slight nod and walked away from us. "She's the photographer Shinsato Miyuki." After she walked away, Tamura told me in a low voice. "I used to work with Kawazu before! The two have traveled all over Japan. Mr. Kawazu wrote the journal, and she took the photos. It should be serialized in a magazine! But it seems to stop soon." It was a year ago!He added this one more sentence. This made me discover again the fact that I knew nothing about Kawatsu's work.Maybe from now on, I will gradually know everything about him, but what's the use of it?
