Chapter 32 Section 4

There are two bookshelves in Yuichi Fujikawa’s room, both made of steel and as tall as Kusanagi, densely packed with technical books and scientific magazines, basically used in college, but used in high school Kusanagi was really surprised that his reference books and textbooks were still there.There are also problem sets for college entrance examinations on the bookshelf.Very nicely arranged.It can be seen that Fujikawa did not forget to throw it away, but deliberately did not throw it away in order to preserve the history of his own learning. There are still such weird people in the world.Kusanagi changed his impression of Fujikawa.

On the second day after knowing that he was admitted to the university, Kusanagi burned all the books related to the exam in the yard. "There are no special clues." Detective Negishi, the subordinate, said behind Kusanagi.He was searching the drawers of Fujikawa's desk. "Didn't you find anything that could tell what kind of job he was looking for?" Kusanagi sat cross-legged on the bed, looking up at the bookshelf.What the pair were looking for was something like a company profile or job magazine. Two days have passed since the day the body was found.At noon today, Kusanagi and Negishi went to two places to inquire about news. One was the Kawasaki factory of Nisina Engineering, which was where Fujikawa worked until July.

"He wanted to resign suddenly, and he didn't discuss it with anyone," said the round-faced section chief, with his mouth protruding a bit. "I don't know when he was ready, so he handed the resignation letter in front of me." Section chief, Please stamp it.’ That’s it.” "What's the reason?" "The reason...according to him, is that he is not suitable for the current job, which is roughly what he means. My idea is, don't be ridiculous, now you can't do whatever you want. His job is to design. The building There are also some air-conditioning equipment. In April this year, there was a major internal adjustment in the company, so he did this. You asked him about his original job, which was factory equipment development, but basically the work content should not have changed much. In short, he So capricious. I got angry and said if you want to resign so badly, go ahead. I stamped him."

The colleague who has the best relationship with Fujikawa also said similar things, "He seemed to be dissatisfied with this company from the beginning. After changing positions in April, this dissatisfaction became stronger. I feel that he is not motivated, and I also Not quite sure what happened." The second person I want to see is Professor Yokomori of Teito University.Because of the seminar, Professor Yokomori went in and out of the hotel in Shinjuku.They met in the living room. "It is true that I persuaded Fujikawa-kun to enter the Nisina project," the short, bald professor said in a slightly high-pitched voice, "but I didn't strongly recommend it, I just gave him advice, if he wants to do and graduate The topic of the research paper—choose a heat exchange system—is similar to the research, that company can try it.” Feeling unexpectedly subtle doubts, the professor puffed out his chest and spoke a little bit deliberately.

"Mr. Fujikawa visited your laboratory in the middle of last month. What did you talk about then?" Kusanagi asked. "Didn't say anything important. He apologized and said that he quit the job he finally got. I'm really sorry. I said forget it, and find another job quickly." "Is that all you said?" "Yes, can't you?" Professor Yokomori was obviously displeased. Finally, Kusanagi talked about Fujikawa taking pictures in the parking lot and looking for Professor Yokomori's car, and asked the professor if he had any clues. "I don't know any clues at all, and I don't know why he did this." The short professor replied.

After inquiring about the news, Kusanagi and the others came to Fujikawa's room again to find the reason for his resignation - what does he want to do after resigning? But no leads were found. Kusanagi sighed, stood up, and then went to the toilet.There is a drying rod above the bathroom fixtures where the swimming trunks hang dry.Has he ever swam?Kusanagi thought in a daze. Judging from the on-site inspection, the prisoner should be an acquaintance.There was no sign of a fight in the room, and the prisoner hit Fujikawa on the back of the head from behind.It is generally believed that Fujikawa did not take precautions against it.The murder weapon left at the scene is a four-kilogram iron dumbbell, which has been confirmed to be Fujikawa's item, which means that the criminal committed the crime impulsively for some reason.

Although the criminal act was impulsive, the prisoner was quite calm when dealing with the aftermath.He removed all the fingerprints everywhere, and even cleaned the bed, probably because he was afraid of leaving hair.In order to delay the discovery of the body as much as possible, he turned on the air conditioner to slow down the decay of the body.But ironically, it was the leaking air conditioner that resulted in the discovery of the body earlier. When Kusanagi was washing his hands after convenience, he saw a small piece of paper under his feet, so he bent down and picked it up. This is a receipt from a coffee shop.

He was disappointed, it didn't look like it had anything to do with the case, the dates were before it happened. When Kusanagi wanted to put the piece of paper on the sink, his hand stopped.He was attracted by the address of the cafe printed on the receipt. That location is near the coast of Shonan.Kusanagi has relatives there and is familiar with the place names in that area.Moreover, the date on the receipt was—yes, the day the bombing happened!
