Chapter 10 Section 3

The next day, I went to the publishing house where Fuyuko worked.The reason was to meet the editor Tamura who had met at the funeral.Of course, it was Dongzi who arranged for our meeting. After meeting in the lobby of the publishing house, the three of us went into a nearby coffee shop. "Is it about Ms. Niisato?" Tamura paused with the coffee in his mouth, his eyes widened with a smile. "Yes, please tell me about Miss Xinli." "But I'm actually not that clear! It's true that I'm the editor in charge of Kawazu, but I'm not the editor in charge of Ms. Niisato!"

"Just say what you know." Dongzi added from the side.She was the one who mentioned looking for Tamura at the beginning. After talking on the phone with Fuyuko yesterday, I checked the room and found that all my things were still there.The passbook and a small amount of cash were left intact.The only thing that left traces of the intruder was the way the carton was sealed. "The other party probably didn't expect me to remember how the box was packed! But don't look at me like this, in fact, my observation skills are very strong." Regarding the discovery of the change in the carton, I said this to Dongzi.

"It's amazing!" She listened, and said in admiration: "The prisoner's goal is only the things in the box! Do you have any confidence in this?" "I only know one thing." After discovering that Masayuki Kawazu's information had been unpacked and stolen, the first person that popped into my head was Miyuki Shinsato who called me a few minutes ago.She who was so anxious to read the information two days ago suddenly called and said that it was unnecessary.I would find it strange, of course! "Then she stole it?" Dongzi's face was full of surprise.

"Of course, I'm not sure yet. However, her behavior has been weird from the very beginning! In order to get that document, she even ran to help with moving or something..." "But hasn't she already made an appointment with you to go directly to your house to get the materials? If that's the case, there should be no need for peeping, right?" "Thinking about it, it's true." I settled my thoughts for a while, and then said decisively: "What if the information is something that she must never let others see? Don't she want to hide it?" Did other people's eyes and ears steal it?"

"Absolutely don't let others see...?" Dongzi repeated what I said, and after pondering for a while, she immediately opened her slender eyes wide. "You shouldn't be suspecting that she killed Chuanjin..." "Very doubtful." I pointedly said: "If this assumption is correct, it is entirely conceivable that she killed Chuanjin who knew her secret." "Is that how you reasoned?..." Dongzi folded her hands on her chest, and looked again at the information in the cardboard box, "However, there are two big doubts in the reasoning of 'she sneaked into your house'. One is why did she know that you were not at home during the day? The other is, how did she come into your house? Aren't the doors and windows of your house locked? "

"It's a secret room!" I said. "Then we must resolve these two doubts. But regarding this Miss Xinli, I think it might be better to investigate more." "Do you have a direction?" "no problem." It was at this time that Tamura's name came out.However, there was nothing in Tamura's conversation that aroused my interest. Miyuki Shinsato is a female photographer active in various fields, about which I already know enough.What I want to ask is not this. "What I want to ask is the content of the work she and Mr. Kawazu have worked together." I said bluntly, "Didn't they be in charge of the chronicle of a certain magazine serialization?"

"Well, yes. But like I said before, it seems to be broken up soon!" "I remember the last time I met her at the funeral, she seemed to have said that she and Mr. Kawazu didn't get along well!" I don't know why, but this sentence caught my attention, so I kept it in my mind. "She did say so." It seemed that Tamura also remembered. "Is that saying that Ji Xingwen's serialization is interrupted?" "Oh, it wasn't that matter." Tamura sat down on the chair again, and then leaned his upper body forward slightly, "Ji Xingwen himself did a good job, and the evaluations are all passable. But I don't know how many times it was during the trip , They arrived at Island Y, where they encountered an accident. Of course, both Kawajin and Xinli met. I think it was from then that the rumors about whether it fits or not began to spread!"

"An accident?" This is the first time I've heard of it. "What happened to the capsizing of the yacht!" Tamura said, "Among Mr. Kawazu's acquaintances, it seems that someone planned a trip, and the itinerary was to take a yacht to Island Y. Mr. Kawazu and the others also participated, but the weather deteriorated halfway. The yacht capsized." "..." I couldn't imagine what kind of situation that was, "What kind of damage did it probably cause?" "There were about ten people on the yacht, and only one of them seems to have died! The others were rescued because they drifted to a nearby uninhabited island. Then, at that time, Mr. Hou Kawatsu injured his foot, and he dismounted after that. Ji Xingwen is working."

I haven't even heard of it. "Then, did Mr. Kawazu write down the matter of the yacht trip? It's not a chronicle, but something similar to an accident document." Dongzi asked. "It seems that I didn't write it!" Then Tamura replied in a low voice: "I heard that the publisher asked him to write it! But he was rejected. The reason is that he was in a poor physical and mental condition at the time, so he didn't remember clearly. Oh, but if you think about it from his standpoint, no one would want to write an article about their own disaster and publish it for others to read!"

That can't be the case, I thought after hearing that.If it is a person who writes an article, even if the victim is himself, it is absolutely impossible to let go of this great opportunity.At the very least, you don't need to go out to collect materials, and you can turn your first-hand voice—your own voice—into words. "Ah, in short, it seems that because of this incident, the publishing house has lost all face, so the series of travel essays has also been discontinued." Since it was a matter of another publishing house, Tamura spoke in a very relaxed tone. "By the way, which travel agency is responsible for the planning of the yacht trip?"

To my question, Tamura simply replied: "No, it was not a plan of a travel agency. I remember...it seemed to be a project of a sports center in Tokyo! But what is the name of that place, I really forgot .” "Could it be..." I licked my lips, "...Sansen Sports Plaza?" After I finished speaking, Tamura's expression seemed to be suddenly enlightened.He nodded and whispered: "That's right, that's right, that's the name!" "I see." Dongzi and I exchanged glances. Tamura went back to the company alone, while Fuyuko and I stayed in the coffee shop and ordered another cup of coffee. "It's really suspicious!" I leaned my elbows on the table, resting my cheeks on my palms and said, "Before Kawazu was killed, he met President Yamamori. Kawazu also had an accident because he was riding on the yacht provided by President Yamamori." An accident. And when this accident happened, Miyuki Shinsato was also there..." "Do you think there is a secret hidden in that accident?" "I don't know yet." I shook my head, "But if this is the case, I would think that the document stolen from my house might just be a document about the yacht accident? What Shinsato Miyuki wants is that document." "Then Kawazu was killed because of what was written in that document!" "This is just reasoning! My reasoning is all jumping, Dongzi should know this best, right?" At my joke, Toko grinned, and then immediately returned to a serious expression. "In other words, Miyuki Niisato has something to do with the secret of the yacht accident!" "It's not just her," I exchanged my crossed feet, and then crossed my arms, "Kawazu went to see President Yamamori, that is to say, I think President Yamamori must have something to do with this matter in some way." related." "At that time, President Yamamori told us that we were just collecting materials!" "Deliberately concealing it." I paused for a moment before continuing: "For them, there is a reason why they must conceal it." "'They' mean?" "I don't know," I said flatly. After returning to the apartment that day, I immediately emptied the contents of the cardboard box, wanting to confirm that my reasoning was correct.Almost all the relevant materials related to the travel documents handled by Masayuki Kawazu last year are collected here, except for the things related to the yacht trip, which I couldn't find no matter how hard I looked. What was the secret of that trip—I meant, of course, something other than the shipwreck—and one man didn't want it to be known.Miyuki Shinsato is also one of them. The problem is how to find out this secret. Regarding this point, Dongzi and I have already drawn up a rough strategy for combat. Before dinner that day, Toko called me.It could be heard that her voice was a little excited. "Finally, I have invited Miyuki Shinsato out to meet you!" "Thank you." I comforted her and said, "What reason did you ask her out?" "Tell the truth! I said that there are some things about Kawazu that I want to ask her." "Didn't she look alert?" "I don't know! Because it's a phone call, I have no way of knowing." "That's it..." The next step is to see how to get her to tell the whole truth.The image of Shinsato Miyuki's domineering eyes made me a little worried. "The combination of two people should be somewhat effective!" After I finished speaking, Dongzi continued in a slightly gloomy tone: "That may be a bit difficult!" "What do you mean by difficulty?" "She made a condition, saying that she wants to meet with you alone." "With me?" "That's right. That's her condition." "What does she want to do?" "I'm not sure about that. Maybe she thinks that if you're the only one, it's more trustworthy!" "No way!" "Anyway, that's her instruction." "Ok……" What is going on?I was thinking with the microphone in my hand.Did Miyuki think that if she was the only one with me, she would be willing to tell that secret? "I see." I said to Dongzi, "I'll just go and see it alone! Tell me the time and place."
