Chapter 33 Section 33

The male post smiled and nodded. "It's quite a famous western restaurant now." "Western food house?" Hagimura instinctively responded to this word, and he amplified his voice without thinking, "Is there a mistake?" The eyes under the glasses of the male employee were wide open, with a frightened look on his face. "'Togami-tei' first opened there, but moved out after becoming famous. Now it is getting bigger and bigger. Beef diced rice topped with rice is very popular. I heard this from my seniors." Hagi Village and Kashiwahara looked at each other.

"GOODSOFT" previously rented the same western restaurant as "Ariake".This is no accident. "When 'GOODSOFT' was leased, the first floor was remodeled. What about the second floor? Has it been remodeled?" Kashiwahara asked.Hagimura noticed the suppressed excitement under his faint tone. The male clerk looked at the file again. "After the lease, Mr. Ueda seems to have remodeled it. As you said, the remodeling project is only for the first floor, and the second floor is left untouched." "There is no record that the renter has remodeled the second floor."

"That's right. There may have been some minor repairs, but no major renovations." After walking out of the real estate company's office, Hagimura said to Kashiwahara: "The DVD store used to be a Western food store—do you think it's a coincidence?" Bai Yuan didn't nod or shake his head.Instead, he pulled out his phone. "I'll ask him." Kouichi guessed nine times out of ten when Kashiwahara suddenly asked for a meeting.He tried not to let the other party notice his wavering, and asked, "What's the progress?" "I haven't made much progress, I just want to check some things with you. I'm sorry for being so busy, but can we meet up? It's okay if we come to Tokyo." The tone of his voice was filled with eagerness.

"Can't you talk on the phone?" "It's hard to speak clearly in a few words. I want to talk face to face. I think it's better for you." "Got it, you can do it now." "Thank you. Where shall we meet?" "Is it okay near Tokyo Station?" "Of course, sorry to disturb you at work." "It's okay, it's nothing serious." After making an appointment to meet at the coffee shop in Tokyo Station, Kouichi hung up the phone.Taifu, who was sitting on the bed next to him, looked uneasy. Koichi told him it was Kashiwahara calling.

"What's the matter?" Taifu frowned. "I should have found that DVD store. I'm afraid I also found out that it was 'Togami Pavilion' before." "Is that right?" "Otherwise they wouldn't have called me. Looks like the police got into our trap." Gongyi got up and opened the closet.He told Kashiwahara that they were working in a design firm and that in order to avoid their suspicion, it was necessary to change into appropriate clothes. "If the police start to focus on 'Togami Pavilion', we'd better not make any more troubles." Taifu said.

"Of course. But if you don't do it when it's time to do it, you'll be in trouble at the end." "The shot refers to? The recipe battle?" "Well. Tell Jing that there is no time. The police will immediately start investigating Togami Masashiki, and may investigate his surroundings at any time." "I'll pass it on later." Kung nodded, and took a jacket and a pair of suit pants from the closet. "Hey, brother, will the police arrest Togami Masashiyuki?" Taisu asked worriedly. "It's annoying if you don't arrest him. We have fabricated so much evidence just to catch him."

"But, I don't think Hushen will tell the truth. Anyway, the evidence the police found is something he doesn't remember. Will he insist that he was framed?" "That's possible. No, he's bound to retort like that. Don't know about Ariake's gold watch, and don't remember hiding anything in the ceiling of the old house." "Isn't that bad?" "It doesn't matter." Gong looked down at his younger brother while putting on his clothes, "Most suspects will not confess obediently even in the face of evidence. Some of them insist on being framed. Even if Hu Shen is like this, the police will ignore him."

"It's really good..." Looking at Taifu who hesitated to speak, Gongyi stopped to put on his clothes. "What's the matter? What do you care about?" "No." "Say it if you want to. It's not like you at all!" "No, it's just that my mind is in a mess and I haven't sorted it out yet." Taifu scratched his head, "According to my brother's plan, the police will think so. The prisoner who killed our parents stole the candy box , because there were cash and valuables in it. After taking away the cash, he hid the jar in the ceiling of his home. After the prisoner moved, it became a DVD store. Then the DVD store was stolen, and the thief noticed the jar in the ceiling. I thought there was something valuable in it, so I stole it."

"There is more. The thief was under pressure from borrowing money. He didn't expect that he didn't steal the money, so he felt desperate. He drove aimlessly in a stolen car, and came to the beach and had the idea of ​​​​suicide. He planned to leave a suicide note to a man named Tomoko. I gave up halfway through writing. After stealing a boat on the coast of Zuoshui, she came to the middle of the sea and committed suicide by jumping into the sea-it would be difficult for the police to handle it without much consideration.” Gongyi continued to change clothes. "Is Tomoko his only daughter? I thought it was his wife."

"It's all right, a woman who is important to a thief. How can the police know it's suicide if you don't leave a suicide note?" "Will the police believe it?" "Who knows. If no body is found, it may be suspected of pretending to commit suicide." "Is that okay?" "No harm. The thief pretending to commit suicide has nothing to do with the investigation of the 'Ariake' case. The important thing is that there is such a thief, and the police believe it. If you guessed right, Kashiwahara and the others have found the DVD store. Everything Going according to the plan, there is no problem. Jing will successfully complete the recipe operation later, and we will be able to retreat."

However, Taifu didn't look excited at all, seeing this, Koichi was a little anxious. "What complaints?" Taifu shook his head in a panic. "How can there be complaints. It's just that such an important thing will be forgotten?" "what?" "Candy box, the prisoner forgot it in the ceiling when he moved. But, it can't be like this. This thing is deadly to the prisoner." "Normally speaking, it is indeed impossible." "Then the police won't be suspicious?" "Suspect what? Suspect who planned this?" "I don't know about that." "It's okay, it's a little unnatural." Gong Yi said confidently, "Not all human actions can be explained reasonably. On the contrary, there are many illogical places. The prisoner hid the evidence in the ceiling and forgot to take it away when he moved. Well, it's really illogical and muddled. But man, people do these weird things. Besides, it doesn't matter to the police at all." "These?" "That's why prisoners forget to take away important evidence. They don't think about it. No, they think about it, but they don't give up hard-earned evidence. So, for these unnatural places, they Just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. The police are like this. Before, I was suspected of stealing the turnover of the store when I was working. It must be an internal crime, and the others have an alibi. If I want to steal, I have to be in Many people commit crimes under their noses. But the police didn’t consider this illogical point at all, and yelled at me, “You stole it, tell me the truth!” It was obviously the stupid son of the shop owner who did it, and he escaped a whole day. robbery." "You said these words before." "So, do you understand what I mean?" Well, Taifu whispered. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'll check with Kashiwahara about the progress." "Well, that's not what I mean. I'm not very worried. I just don't understand why we have to go through so much trouble. However, it's come to this point, and it's meaningless to talk about it." Hearing his younger brother's question, Koichi sighed and sat down on the other bed. "I've explained this many times. It's the same as the man I witnessed fourteen years ago, and the taste of the diced beef rice is the same. It's just that the police will not take action. Even if they investigate, there is no evidence against the householder. Shenzhengxing is the prisoner. Searching inside and out may find nothing.” "However, the police are not fools, they will always find something. For example, our father and Hushen met in Sunrise and became familiar with each other." "So?" Gong turned his head and looked at his younger brother, "So what. With this, the police can arrest him?" "Maybe more will be found. Anyway, the police are professional. If my brother didn't find evidence, maybe they can find it." "What if you can't find it? What are you going to do at that time? Silently watching because the police can't sue Hushen because of insufficient evidence?" "If that's the case... then, let's carry out the recipe battle." Gong Yi kept a straight face. "You don't understand anything. In the initial investigation, they couldn't find any evidence. It didn't take long for the evidence to come out, and the police would definitely become suspicious. Of course, they would be the first to suspect us." Unable to refute Koichi, Taisu pouted and lowered his head.Looking at the younger brother with this expression, Koichi continued. "From the moment we decide to fabricate evidence, we must be the last to appear in front of the police. Especially you, the last to show up. There is also the link of identification. Your task is to confirm that the arrested Togami Masayuki is the tenth The man who witnessed it four years ago. Of course, you don’t know anything about Hushen, so don’t show your feet. We must not let them realize that these evidences are all fabricated by us.” Taifu was so overwhelmed by Koichi's words that he couldn't lift his head, he nodded slightly. "I understand. It's not that I complain about my brother's actions, but I'm a little uneasy about asking Jing to do such a dangerous thing." "Me too. But hey, we have to gamble. Jing also said, leave it to her." "Well... that's right." "Don't think too much. It's the last step, come on!" Gongyi put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder again. After walking out of the building, Koichi took the subway to Tokyo Station.Pulling the ring, he unconsciously looked at the advertisement posted in the carriage, repeatedly smacking the conversation with Taifu in his heart. It is indeed a labor-intensive approach.For Taifu, who acts on instinct, it does feel too roundabout. Recalling the night when I sneaked into the second floor of "GOODSOFT".That night, Koichi and Taisu act together.After creating traces of the theft of "GOODSOFT", they drove to Yokosuka in the car they had stolen.It was Taifu who stole the car.He used to work in a garage.That day, he boasted that an old car can be finished in 5 minutes. When the two of them rowed to the middle of the sea in a boat, a sense of fear invaded them.The waves are rougher and more turbulent than during the day.However, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the two only turned on the lights on the helmets.If you act alone, you will definitely give up halfway.Relying on each other's voice, they rowed to the middle of the sea. After overturning one boat, they returned to shore in another boat.Afterwards, the two walked around Yokosuka Chuo Station to kill time, and took the tram back to Tokyo early in the morning.In the tram, both of them fell asleep. Everything is an adventure, and finally came to this step.Even though it was not the original intention to let Taifu take the risk, for Koichi, the plan must be successful even if everything is sacrificed. Although he mentioned that Taisuke should check his appearance, but unless he had to, Kouichi tried his best not to let him and Shiina appear in front of the police.Yukinari Togami must have been there on that occasion, and he would have yelled that the man who claimed to be a jeweler and the woman who claimed to be Saori Takame were the children of the victim.At worst, their fraudulent behavior may be exposed. In any case, at least Taifu and Shizuna must be protected, Gong thought. When they came to the appointed coffee shop, Kashiwahara and Hagi Cun were sitting at a small table.After seeing Gong Yi, the two smiled slightly.
