Chapter 74 Section 6

A man in a gray jacket sits in front of the second console from the inside.Looking at the remaining marbles on the plate, Kato snorted coldly, and estimated that the plate would be empty within five minutes. The next seat is empty.Kato sat down and looked at the faces of the men playing pinball with sullen faces.The man seemed to notice that someone was looking at him quickly, stopped his hands, and looked at him with a frown. "Are you Anpu?" Kato took out his ID from his jacket. Anpu Dafu's face changed immediately, and he seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva. "I didn't do anything." He raised his voice.

"I didn't say what you did. I want to ask you something, so go outside and talk. Anyway, it looks like you're not lucky today." Anger appeared in An Pu's eyes, but he didn't seem to find the right words to talk back to the police, he just kept his mouth tight and said nothing. "It's time to go. Your wife is working hard to support the family, and you should stop in moderation." Kato patted Anpu on the shoulder, "I'll buy you a drink." An Pu's expression immediately softened.The two entered the tavern near Oji Station. Kato chose the innermost table and asked Anpu whether to drink beer or sake, and Anpu chose sake.

"I want to ask you about the Futian factory." Kato said while pouring Anpu wine. An Pu's face immediately pulled down. "What happened to that smelly old man?" "The factory closed down. President Fukuda is in a miserable situation and almost hanged himself." "Oh?" An Pu cocked his mouth, "It really deserves it." "How long have you worked in that factory?" "More than ten years. But because I suffered a slight injury, the stinky old man fired me." He picked up the wine cup with his left hand and drank it all in one gulp.There was an ugly scar on the back of his right hand.

Kato poured him another drink. "Can your fingers move?" "Moving. A little numb, but nothing major." Kato thought, even so, as a craftsman, he must be dead, but he didn't say it. "What does the Futian factory mainly do?" "What do you do? You can ask the president about this kind of thing? All kinds of parts." "Anpu, do you think I'll bring you here just to ask these obvious things?" Kato poured him another glass of wine, "Drink more. If you tell me, I can ask you for another bottle." "In fact, it is processing all kinds of things. What can I do? The advantage of that kind of factory is that it can undertake all kinds of work."

"Then, what were you doing when you resigned? Let me ask more specifically. There are many drawings left in the factory, right? What kind of drawings were there at that time? Tell me everything you can think of, and I will write it all down." Anpu held the wine cup in his hand, and looked at Kato's face in surprise. "Why are you asking this? Does the factory have anything to do with any case?" "It has nothing to do with you." As soon as the words came out, Kato seemed to suddenly think of something, and added, "No, it's not completely irrelevant, maybe it started with you."

"I?" "Your hand was stabbed by a woman?" An Pu immediately hid his right hand under the table. "Do you remember what that woman looked like?" "I don't remember clearly. It was late at that time, and I didn't stare at her face." "Will you recognize me when we meet again?" An Pu's eyes widened: "Can I still see you?" Kato did not answer, but took out a stack of six photos from his arms.Five of them were photos of unrelated women, and the remaining one was a candid photo of Shinkai Mito. "Is she in here?"

An Pu put down the wine cup and reached for the photo.He opened his eyes wide, staring at each one, and the right hand holding the photo kept shaking. "how?" "I can't see it." Kato said angrily, "She was wearing heavy makeup at the time, and it has been so long." "Well, I can't help it." Kato took the photo from Anpu. "Wait, what do you mean? Are there any pictures of the woman who stabbed me? How do you have these pictures?" "I can't say this, it's a case secret, you have to forget about it." Kato said firmly.

"how come--" "However," Kato grabbed the jug, "If the case is cleared up, I will tell you specifically. For this, your cooperation is needed—what's the matter? Drink quickly." Kato poured the wine into An Pu's wine cup. "About the Futian factory, just tell me what you know." An hour later, Kato rushed into the Foton factory.He opened the door roughly and broke into the bedroom without saying hello.Futian was lying on the quilt and did not see his wife. "Hey, President, get up!" Kato rode on Futian and grabbed his collar. Fukuda rolled his eyes, his face was flushed, and his mouth smelled of alcohol.

"How dare you lie to me!" "W-what's the matter?" "Don't pretend to be confused with me. You said you only gave him the blueprints? Isn't that right? Did he also let him use the factory equipment?" Futian's face changed drastically, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound. "Let me ask you, did you let Suyuan use the equipment here? No, not only that, did you also give him the materials? Didn't you say that all the equipment can't be used?" "No, it really didn't work when you came." "When was Suwon?"

Fukuda turned his head in embarrassment, and Kato slapped him. "Clarify it to me, let him use the machine?" "Slightly, a little bit..." "How long? An hour? Two hours?" "no……" "I asked how long you let him use it, tell me quickly!" "Three, about three days." "Bastard!" Kato knocked Fukuda aside.
