Chapter 34 Section 6

The apartment that Uri Naohiko lives in is located in Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City.About ten minutes' walk from Dongbaile Station on the Toyoko Line, in a street with many ramps and dense residential buildings, there is a building with imitation adobe bricks and tiles. The entrance is an observation deck.Kusanagi looked at the notepad, confirmed the address, and pressed the button for resident No. 503.After a while, a voice came from the intercom. "Which one?" "I'm a policeman, can I have a few words with you?" Kusanagi said into the loudspeaker. "Should I still talk?" There was a very bored voice, which must have been questioned several times by the police in Kanagawa.

Excuse me, just talk for a while. There was no reply, but the door beside him was unlocked, and it seemed that the man's unhappy face could be seen. Walking to room 503, Kusanagi pressed the doorbell again.The door opened, revealing a brunette face. "I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. I went to the company to inquire and said that you are at home today, so I just..." "I had a headache, so I took a rest." Meri Naohiko replied bluntly.He was wearing a T-shirt and a sweat-proof shirt. "I really don't have anything to say." "I'm a policeman from Tokyo. Because other cases are related to your wife's case, I came here to ask you."

"Other cases?" Merry frowned. "Hey, maybe it has something to do with your wife's case." Meili's face changed subtly.His expression means this: If you can solve the mystery of my wife's accident, I am willing to cooperate with you to some extent. "For the details, please ask the person in charge here. It's too tiring to repeat the same thing." "Well, I know that too." Kusanagi nodded in agreement, and Merry opened the door wide and invited him in. The room looked new, but the living room with the sofa and the kitchen were in disarray.The Japanese-style room with only six tatami mats was tidied up, and a small Buddhist altar was installed inside, and the incense was slowly floating upwards.

Kusanagi sat on the sofa and Merry sat on the chair. "Other things, what do you mean?" Merry asked. Kusanagi thought for a while and replied, "I found a certain man's body." "Did you say he was killed?" "Can't say for sure yet, but probably so." "What does this have to do with Tsuko? Is the prisoner the same person?" "No, it's not." Kusanagi waved his hand, "I don't know the details, but some items caught my attention." He handed Meili a photo, which was Fujikawa's photo, "Have you seen this person? "

Merry shook her head immediately, holding the photo in her hands. "I haven't seen it, who is he?" "The person who was killed this time is called Fujikawa Yuichi. Have you never heard of him from your wife?" "Fujikawa... I've never heard of it." "That day, Kusanagi swallowed, "On the day your wife passed away, this person seemed to have appeared on that coast. " "Huh?" Merry glanced at the photo again. Through the receipt seen in Fujikawa's room, Kusanagi found the correct address of the coffee shop.As originally guessed, it is very close to the coast of Shonan.

"But," Merry said, "even if he was there, it wouldn't mean anything, especially since there were so many tourists swimming in the sea that day." "However, there is one thing that is not accidental." "what?" "That man named Fujikawa graduated from Imperial University two years ago." "Oh?" Meili's expression became more tense. "It is said that your wife worked at Imperial University until last year." Kusanagi said. Kusanagi learned about Mei Litsuko's experience through the police in Kanagawa. At that time, his intuition definitely told him that the two things were related.

"Ah, she is a substitute teacher." Meili nodded. "In other words, Fujikawa Yuichi may have had contact with your wife during his four years of school." Kusanagi's words caused Merry to raise her head and cast her eyes slightly upwards. "Are you saying that Tsuko has an improper relationship with this man?" "No, no, that's not what I meant," Kusanagi waved his hands hastily, "The word 'contact' is inaccurate, change it to something related." "Before we got married last year, we had been dating for six years. I thought I knew about Tsuko better than anyone else, but from her mouth, I never heard the name Fujikawa once." Said Meili Push the photo back to Kusanagi.

"I understand. If you see the name Fujikawa when you are sorting out your wife's belongings, books, etc., can you report it to us?" Kusanagi put his business card on the dining table and put the photo back in his pocket. "Found a love letter or something?" Merry grinned. "I didn't mean that..." "Jinzi, I hate the students of Imperial University very much. They have a strong sense of elite, carelessness, pride and complacency, and love to act like a baby. If there is any trouble, they will only cry to their parents. Apart from their physical growth, they have nothing to do with kindergarten children. What a difference, they're always whining."

"Among the naive children she knows, there may not be Fujikawa." "It's also possible." After Meili finished speaking, she closed her mouth and fell into deep thought, then raised her face again. "I have noticed two things, and I have already talked to the police here." "Tell me again." "On the way to the beach that day, Jinzi told me several times that there was a car following behind him." "She was followed?" "I don't know, I didn't take it seriously, so I just smiled and said how could such a thing happen..."

"When did you decide to go to the beach?" "Two days ago." "Who did you tell you were going to the beach?" I don't know much about Jinzi, and I haven't told anyone specifically. " The person monitoring the Meri couple should be Fujikawa, right?Kusanagi immediately assumed that the person following him was Fujikawa. "What about the other thing you noticed?" Kusanagi asked. Meili hesitated for a moment, and said, "Before the explosion, a man approached Tsuko, a very young man. "What kind of man?" Kusanagi took out a notepad and a ballpoint pen.

"He was wearing a diving goggle, and he was a little far away, so he couldn't see clearly, but," Meili licked his lips and continued, "the head shape is very similar to the man in the photo just now... At that time, that man's hair It's also short." Kusanagi took out the photo and stared at it again.Fujikawa Yuichi's cloudy eyes kept looking back at him.
