Chapter 14 Section 6

In a room in a certain building in Shinjuku, Kusanagi and police officer Otsuka met Seban Hirohisa together. The firm was called S&R Inc., but it looked weird. "Our main business is to wholesale computers to customers, and we also have close cooperation with software development companies, and our company's operations are gradually getting on the right track..." When asked about the company's business, Shi Wang eloquently said stand up. He looked to be in his early forties and was a very talkative guy.When asked about his work, he immediately answered ten questions.But there is nothing worth listening to in what he said, which makes people feel superficial.

The office is separated by a screen, so you can't see inside, and it doesn't look like there are any other salesmen. He said: "How about it, Mr. Police Officer, you can buy a computer. In the future, knowledge in this area will be very necessary." People", indeed the fable is justified. Kusanagi first asked him if he knew Kakimoto Shinichi, Shiban suddenly became sentimental. "I don't really understand, but my molars were cured by this doctor." Shi Wang touched his chin, "It's so tragic that what happened to him, I learned from his wife before He disappeared, and I was worried that he might be involved in something. It has been two months, and I feel that the possibility of him surviving is very small. Ah! This is a bit too much, I have no other meaning. "

"Then did you attend his funeral?" Kusanagi asked. "No, I was busy with work and couldn't get away, so I just sent a condolence message." "Kakimoto's body was found, who did you hear from?" "I read in the newspaper that a model of Dr. Kakimoto's face was exhibited at a cultural festival in a certain middle school—or high school—and the police discovered his body based on this, and then I contacted his wife. Yes, and inquired about where the funeral will be held." "No wonder, sometimes the newspaper reports are timely." "Display of the real mask of the dead in middle school", "Who is involved in the strange process?"Puzzled", "Mysterious Events of Autumn"... Kusanagi remembered those headlines in the newspaper.

"It's unbelievable, how could the model of the human face fall in such a place?" Shi Wang folded his arms, tilted his head thinking, and secretly looked at Kusanagi with tentative eyes, "What do you police think about this? Woolen cloth?" "It's under investigation, and those guys who are busy with identification are also very troubled." "That's it." "The superstitious boss even said that perhaps the ghosts attached to the aluminum skin turned into this mask." This is lying, in fact, Kusanagi's boss is a person who despises pseudoscience.

An unnatural smile appeared on Shibo's face, as if he was shocked by Kusanagi's words. "Then," Shiwang rolled up his sleeves as if looking at his watch, "what's the matter with you guys today? As long as I know, I'll tell you anything." Although the tone is very kind, it can be seen that he is implying that he does not know anything important. "I want to ask about horses," Kusanagi said. "It's horse racing. You once persuaded Dr. Kakimoto to buy horses with you?" "Ah? It's this matter," Shi Wang nodded with a strange expression, "That matter is really regrettable. Dr. Kakimoto gave me great expectations, but in the end I couldn't get what I wanted."

"You mean, you failed to buy it?" "I have inside information that I can introduce a particularly excellent thoroughbred horse to me, but I delayed this matter during the convening of the partner, and was preempted by others. Hey, the world is unpredictable." "Have you discussed with any intermediary?" "yes." "To trouble you. Can you give me his contact information? I just want to confirm the relevant business." "It's okay, um, where did I put my business card?" Shi Wang took out his coat pocket for a long time, and smacked his lips lightly, "Oh, I'm at home, I'll tell you later, it's okay ?"

"Okay. Officer Otsuka, please take the initiative to contact Mr. Shiwang afterwards." The young detective immediately agreed. "I have a strange feeling, you seem to be suspicious of me?" Shi Wang asked with a flattering smile. "Sorry, we can fully understand your unhappiness, but from our perspective, we cannot ignore the fact that a large amount of money has been transferred out of Dr. Kakimoto's bank account." "Large sums of money?" "Well, ten million! For ordinary salarymen like us, this is a lot of money. Have you accepted this large check?" Kusanagi asked, staring at the other party's eyes.

Seijin coughed lightly. "Well, ah, it's the funds to buy horses." "It looks like the check was exchanged for cash, so what happened to the funds afterwards?" "Of course it is returned, to Dr. Kakimoto." "In what form? To his bank account?" "No, it's in cash. I'll pay him back at his house." "When did that happen?" "When did it come? A long time ago, I think it was late July." "Did he change any documents when he received the offer?" "When I got his check, I wrote him a receipt, so when I paid him back, he gave me the paper back."

"Are you still keeping it?" "No, it was destroyed long ago. I'm afraid it's not a good souvenir." Speaking of which, Shizhen once again set his eyes on the watch, but this time it seemed to be intentional, and he hoped to end the conversation quickly. "Well, there is one more factual question at the end," Kusanagi emphasized when talking about "factuality", "You'd better give a detailed account of your activities within ten days from August 18th. Say it." Shi Wang's face turned red in an instant, his smile disappeared, and his eyes looked at the faces of the two criminal policemen alternately.

"It seems that you are really doubting me." "I'm sorry, but I'm not the only one who suspects you. In the eyes of our criminal police, everyone is a criminal suspect for the time being." "I really hope that I can be excluded from this list as soon as possible." Shi Wang opened the running diary in his hand, "You mean starting from August 18?" "Ok." "Great, I have an alibi." Shi Wang said while looking at the diary. "What kind of proof?" Kusanagi asked. I happened to go on a trip that day, and I went to China for two weeks. Don’t you see that it’s written here? "He opened the page of the schedule to show Kusanagi.

"Are you traveling alone?" "How come, I went with four of my clients. If you can promise me not to cause them any trouble, I can tell you their contact information." "Of course I can." "Okay, please wait a moment." Shiwang stood up and disappeared behind the screen. Kusanagi and Detective Otsuka next to him glanced at each other.The young detective shook his head slightly. Shi Wang returned soon, holding a business card holder the size of an A4 paper in his hand. "Did you leave from Narita?" Kusanagi asked while copying the name and contact information on the business card. "yes." "When did you leave?" "About 10 o'clock, but I set off for the airport just after 8 o'clock. Because we made an appointment at 8:30 o'clock." "That's it." Kusanagi calculated the time in his mind.Kakimoto Shin set off from his home at 6 o'clock in the morning. If Shibo killed him on the way to the airport, dumped his body in the gourd pond, and then drove the black Audi to Saitama Prefecture, and then at just after 8 o'clock Arriving at Narita Airport, is it possible? After a few seconds he came to the conclusion that it was impossible.
