Mr. Shigetaro Torikai: The scorching heat is overwhelming, and when walking on the streets under the scorching sun, the soles of your shoes are almost pulled off by the asphalt.When I come back from get off work, I immediately wash my body and drink beer chilled from well water.The last time you led me to the Kashii coast, and the cold wind blowing on Genkai Beach is still something worth remembering. I have long wanted to write to you in a depressed mood.The first time I met you in Hakata was in February of this year. I listened to your conversation while listening to the sea breeze of Genkai Beach on the Kashii coast.In a blink of an eye, seven months have passed.After so many days, it seems to be calm; in fact, when the search is exhausted, the time is even more short.Until today, the mood is like the autumn sun, gradually calming down.Whenever a difficult case is over, I always have a special feeling in my heart.However, telling such feelings to your seniors is tantamount to playing tricks on others.But it is precisely because of this mood that I feel the need to write to you.This is my duty to you, and it is something I am very willing to do.

The last time Yasuda Tatsuro went to Hokkaido, I couldn't figure it out, so Mr. Hikan asked for help.Fortunately, I am very grateful for the reply, which is kindly worded and a lot of encouragement. Tatsuro Yasuda insisted that he departed from Ueno Station on the 20th of January by the express train "Towada", arrived at Hakodate on the 17th Aomori-Hakodate ferry, and changed to the express train "Kumoza". Arriving at Sapporo Station at 20:34 on the 11th, this steel defense finally collapsed.Yasuda once met a certain official from Hokkaido on the express train "Kumoza", and was greeted by someone when he arrived at Sapporo Station, and there was a passenger list written by him on the Aomori-Hakodate Ferry. These facts once stood in my memory like a solid stone wall In front of them, it is difficult to destroy, and among them, the passenger watch is the most difficult problem.Its objective conditions are met, and it is difficult to deny it.

It is completely useless to investigate from the plane alone.I thought that on the three flights from Tokyo to Fukuoka, from Fukuoka to Tokyo, and from Tokyo to Sapporo, he had been on the three flights under a false name. However, I investigated a total of 143 passengers on the three flights, and everyone said they were He did fly.If Yasuda wasn't a ghost, he definitely didn't take the plane.From this point of view, his argument is still invulnerable. In other words, if you go to Hokkaido by train, there are still conditions; if you go by plane, there are no conditions at all. However, I have always had doubts about the person he appointed to meet him in the waiting room of Sapporo Station to meet him. According to my inference, this may be because the plane was delayed (because Yasuda only had to fly to get to Otaru to board the "Kuzao" ”), it is therefore necessary to investigate where the specified telegram was sent.According to the investigation, this was a telegram sent by the conductor on the morning of the 21st by a passenger on the express train "Towada" near Asamushi Station.The train conductor remembered the telegrapher.Judging from the description of his appearance, he is Kitaro Sasaki, the servant of Director Ishida of the XX Department.It was Sasaki who handed him the telegram for sending.

Here lies the flaw.The name of Director Ishida appeared on the passenger list of the ferry, but the name of Kitaro Sasaki was not.Sasaki must have replaced Yasuda Tatsuro's name and handed in the passenger form.We never paid attention to the follower, which is where we are clumsy.Later, I investigated with Sasaki, and it turned out that Yasuda had prepared the passenger form half a month ago and signed it himself. Ferry passenger lists are like the telegrams of the post office. There are dozens of sheets displayed at the window of Aomori Station, and anyone can take them at will.An Ri asked Director Ishida early on, and Ishida asked his subordinates who were on a business trip to Hokkaido to take some back. Yasuda signed his name and returned it to Director Ishida.

As for the relationship between Yasuda and Director Ishida, I will explain later that the fact that Yasuda Tatsuro filled out the passenger form with his own hand made us feel very troublesome, but it is actually as simple as that. The theory that Yasuda went to Hokkaido by train was denied in this way.We then set out to investigate the plane passengers.If the names of ferry passengers can go from nothing to nothing, the names of airplane passengers must also go from nothing to nothing. Let's take another look at the one hundred and forty-three passengers.We conduct investigations according to the occupations in the passenger list, and narrow the scope to five or six people according to certain goals.These few people are all members of a trading company that has a deep relationship with the XX department.After serious questioning individually, three people finally confessed.

From Tokyo to Fukuoka is Jia, from Fukuoka to Tokyo is B, and from Tokyo to Sapporo is C. They didn't actually take the plane.They didn't know what was going on until we investigated the matter.All three of them were entrusted secretly by Director Ishida, and they used their names under the guise of a name. "There is a very confidential matter that needs to be sent out to investigate, so please help. If the police ask you later, you must confirm that you have been on this flight. This matter will never cause trouble for you." Director Ishida was at that time This is how it was explained.All three of them thought that at the time when investigations into corruption incidents were vigorous and vigorous, there must have been many officials running around to wipe out traces.If you help them in this aspect, Director Ishida will definitely facilitate the transaction in the future.

Yasuda Tatsuro assumed the names of A, B, and C, and traveled back and forth on the plane between Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.Why not just borrow a person's name?This is because they are afraid that when the case is investigated afterwards, it is easy to find traces in the passenger list.Yasuda Tatsuro is always thinking of investigating after the fact, so everything is safe. In this way, the evidence of his going to Hokkaido was overturned, and the evidence of going to Hakata was established instead.However, there is one problem left.That is to say, when the deceased Kenichi Sayama and the waitress Ah Shi of "Xiaoyuki Restaurant" departed together on the special express train "Chaofeng" at 18:30 on January 14th, two waitress colleagues saw it with their own eyes. to them.No, just seeing it with your own eyes is not enough.Because Yasuda wanted them to see it with their own eyes.

What is the relationship between Zuoshan and Ah Shi, because there is no confirmation, it is impossible to know.Ah Shi is a very capable woman. According to the waitress at "Xiaoxue Restaurant", she seems to be on good terms with others, but everyone doesn't know the truth.This is not to cover up for her, it seems that she is really ignorant.Ah Shi, on the other hand, lives in an apartment, and if no man calls to ask her out, she will never go out with anyone else.From this point of view, Ah Shi seems to have a lover secretly, but it is unknown who this person is.Of course, after Sayama and her died in Xiangshii, everyone would think that this person was Sayama.

However, here lies the unspeakable thing. Such a couple, why did Yasuda want a third party to see them with their own eyes?Was it to let them prove that they had indeed traveled to Kyushu on the "Chaofeng" express train? However, there is no special reason for them to prove the "Chaofeng".There are many trains to Kyushu, which one is good.Since the two died in Kyushu, of course they went to Kyushu.Well, there must be no reason. What Yasuda needed a third party to see was the fact that Sayama and Ah Shi were in the same car, which was why he took great pains to lead witnesses to the platform.In other words, he wants others to prove that Sayama and Ah Shi are lovers.

This is wonderful.Since you are a lover, why do you need others to prove it? After much deliberation, he came up with counter-evidence that Sayama and Ah Shi must not be a couple.Because they are not lovers, they need others to prove that they are lovers. From this point of view, what you have analyzed, based on the dining car bill to conclude that Sayama went to Hakata alone, is indeed brilliant. The words "guest, one" made you suspicious, and what Qianjin said about the psychology of love was a great inspiration to me.Therefore, it is believed that Ah Shi got off the bus halfway, and only Sayama went to Hakata by himself.The conclusion is that the two of them are not lovers.

Yasuda often treats guests at the "Xiaoxue" restaurant and is already a regular customer.Although Sayama has never been to "Xiaoxue", he knows Ah Shi.Probably the three of them have met many times.Since Sayama and Ah Shi knew each other, they talked about taking the train together.From the perspective of a third party, it really looks like a couple going on a trip.This is Yasuda's purpose. Therefore, Yasuda arranged for the two of them to take the "Chaofeng" train at the same time.He has this condition. However, there is one thing that makes Yasuda feel embarrassed.He had no reason to bring those two waitresses directly to Platform 15, directly beside Kuai Mou of the "Chaofeng".His arrangement was to find a way to see a man and a woman over there as an accidental discovery.The trains on platform No. 15 are all long-distance trains. If you don’t get on the train, but just to see people, it’s easy to be discovered by others.So he had to use other platforms to overlook.In this way, he went to Kamakura to visit his wife and took them to platform 13. Everything seemed natural, and it could not be seen that it was deliberately arranged. But he ran into trouble again.Looking from platform 13 to platform 15 is not an easy task.There are vehicles coming and going all the time, and there are many obstacles.I have already mentioned this matter.In the end, he painstakingly worked out that at the train station bound for Kyushu, the time when he could see the train from platform No. 13 was only 17:57 to 18:00 in a day. Four minutes at one point zero.Four minutes of precious time, four minutes of great use. As mentioned in the previous letter, to go to Kyushu, you can take any train, but for this reason, you must take the "Chaofeng" train that runs at 18:30.Why Yasuda must restrict them to take the "Chaofeng" express train is because other trains to Kyushu are out of time.In order to arrange natural witnesses, Yasuda who found the four-minute gap time is really great.Even the staff of Tokyo Station, not many people can notice these four minutes. From this point of view, Yasuda arranged for Sayama and Ah Shi to set off together.However, the strange thing came again.Six days later, the two died in love on the coast of Kashii.Both Zuoshan and Ah Shi drank orange juice mixed with potassium cyanate, pressed their bodies together, and committed suicide.According to the test report and the on-site situation (I only saw the photos of the scene) report, there is no problem that it is love death. This point is difficult to understand.If you are not a lover, how can you die in love?Even if Yasuda's arrangements were ingenious, he still couldn't persuade two unrelated men and women to sympathize with each other to death!The inference that the two are not lovers can only fall apart in the face of the reality of death in love.However, they did not in fact have a sympathetic friendship.This contradiction is difficult to resolve. The departure of the two, even if it was arranged by Yasuda, but the love and death with Kashii Kaigan, no matter how long it is like a river, it will not last.This is because the reality of love death cannot be denied.The starting point and the ending point are completely opposite. No matter how much you think about it, you can't solve this problem. However, since the departure of the two was arranged by Yasuda, Yasuda must be involved in the death of this couple.Although I was clueless at the time, I always had this intuition.When I investigated his itinerary to Hokkaido, I was convinced that the shadow of Yasuda must have appeared at the scene of Kashii on the night the two committed suicide.As for what role he played, I have no way of knowing.Of course he wouldn't hypnotize them to commit suicide.Naturally, these two men and women who were not lovers would not commit suicide according to Yasuda's order.Although I don't understand, I have always been obsessed with a suspicion. Why did Yasuda have to show up on the night they committed suicide? Fortunately, I overturned Yasuda’s statement about his trip to Hokkaido, and proved that he took a plane from Haneda Airport in Tokyo at 15:00 on January 20, flew to Hakata, and arrived at Itatsuki Airport in Hakata at 19:20. In addition, the moment of Kashii Kaigan's love death was around 21 o'clock that night, which shows that he was indeed at the scene.However, having said that, what is the relationship between the two of them and Yasuda?The problem hit a wall again.No matter how much you think about it, you can't solve this mystery. On the second day of agonizing over this, I went to a cafe.I love coffee, and my section chief often makes fun of me for it.I usually drink coffee in Yurakucho, but it was raining that day, so I went to a cafe near Hibiya. The shop is on the second floor. When I opened the door to enter, a young girl walked in through the slant. I played the gentlemanly spirit and let her go first.The girl was wearing a very elegant raincoat, greeted me with a smile, went to the counter at the stairway to deposit the umbrella, and I followed behind and handed over the umbrella.Thinking we were companions, the cafe guy tied two umbrellas together and handed out a number plate.The girl's face turned red, and I quickly said, "Wrong, wrong, we didn't come together, everyone belongs to everyone." The two umbrellas were separated again, and an extra number plate was added. This matter was so wonderfully wrong that it took no effort to get it right. I was enlightened inadvertently through an accidental incident.There was a "ha-" in my heart, and there seemed to be a flash of light in my head.On the second floor, when the coffee was delivered to me, I didn't see it for a long time! I got a revelation by accident.The girl and I walked into the cafe together and were considered a couple.This is normal.Anyone who sees it will think so.As long as you see two people in similar positions, you will make this judgment immediately.Isn't this a revelation! You and I, including all the detectives from your agency, saw that Sayama and Ah Shi died together, so we judged it as love death.I now know the details.The two of them died in two separate places.After death, the two bodies were brought together.Probably, Sayama drank potassium cyanate first, fell down and died, and another person brought the body of Ah Shi, who also drank potassium cyanate, next to Sashan's body.Sayama and Ah Shi were originally two completely separate points.We automatically draw a wrong line just because we see two points close together. Needless to say, when a man and a woman die while embracing, that is, they die together. Generally, it is immediately regarded as a death of love.There is no need to laugh at such a fallacious argument, because since ancient times, thousands of pairs of dead bodies have been like this.No one doubts.Therefore, as long as it is not a homicide but a death of love, the autopsy will not be as serious as a homicide case, and no investigation will even be launched.This is Yasuda Tatsuro's purpose. I still remember what you said in your last letter: "People unconsciously work on preconceived notions, and it takes a long time to get them corrected. This is deplorable. It creates Blind spots." That's true.When a man and a woman die together, the first thought must be the death of love. This is a preconceived idea that enters the mind.And it has been hidden for a long time, thus causing blind spots. Prisoners take advantage of this to confuse us subtly.However, he still felt uneasy.He believes that Sayama and Ah Shi have no love relationship, which can easily expose the flaws of "love death".It should make people get the impression of "being in a relationship".For this reason, he found two waitresses at the "Xiaoxue" restaurant and took them to Tokyo Station to watch the couple set off.His hard work showed that there was anxiety on top of anxiety, so he arranged everything thoughtfully.From here, we discovered that he painstakingly arranged four minutes of witness time. By the way, when it comes to this, we can see that this case is full of train time and plane time from other places to a certain place, almost burying everyone in the timetable.Is Yasuda really interested in this aspect?I'm afraid this is in doubt.If so, there must be someone who often has a special study of timetables that was not designed for planning in the first place. Sayama and Ah Shi died of what kind of trick, after much deliberation, they finally thought about the issue of time. In my mind, the image of a woman appeared.She has a special interest in timetables and has published essays about them in magazines.The essays are full of poetic sentiment, and the time figures that ordinary people seem to be boring and ignorant are more interesting than novels.She has been bedridden for many years due to lung disease. Looking at the timetable on the hospital bed seems more intimate than the Bible, and it is better than reading ancient and modern Chinese and foreign works.This woman is the wife of Yasuda Tatsuro, who lives in Kamakura in convalescence.The name is Ryoko. Generally speaking, anyone who suffers from tuberculosis is a person who is more than scheming.Yasuda's wife, Ryoko, was pale. What was she thinking about?Rather than thinking about it, I'm afraid it might be better to say it is a plan.She unraveled and combined many numbers in her mind at one time, like drawing an analysis table, drawing out many vertical and horizontal lines, intertwined in her mind. So far, according to my inference, the case was not designed by Yasuda, but probably by Ryoko. It can be said that on the night of the incident, two couples of men and women appeared on the train and tram stations.The pair are Sayama and Ah Shi.The other couple may be Yasuda and his wife Ryoko.It is natural to think about it this way, but after thinking about it for half a minute, I feel that there is still something wrong.Isn't it superfluous for them to be a couple? You mentioned in your letter: "The current doubt is what role the woman brought by An Tian played. Judging from the facts of the case, since An Tian arranged for the death of two people, it is necessary for this woman to appear in the action. In other words, without this woman, the work Yasuda planned would not be successful." I totally agree with this.I suspected that the woman who became a question was Ryoko Yasuda's wife, so I decided to investigate her. However, she is sick and recuperating.Even if you can plan, you probably won't be able to participate in the action.In other words, going from Kamakura to Kyushu is probably impossible for her. I went to Kamakura to meet with her attending physician.According to the doctor, Ryoko's illness does not necessarily require bed rest, and said that she sometimes visits relatives in Yugawara.So I centered on January 20th to inquire about her developments.Only then did I know that she was not at home from the 19th to the 21st.This was investigated from hospital bed logs.Physicians only visit Ryoko twice a week.The doctor went for a follow-up visit on the 22nd. At that time, Liangzi had a fever. The doctor asked why the temperature came back. Liangzi said, "I went to Yugawara on the 19th, and I just came back this morning. I played a lot, and I was a little tired." As soon as I heard it, the time was not bad.The evening train departs on the 19th and arrives in Hakata the next morning.This is exactly in line with the time and place of love death.Going to Tanghe was a lie, but going to Kyushu is the truth. Then, I quietly called out the old maid from Ryoko's house, and after detailed questioning, I finally found out that she had hired a long-distance bus to go to Yugawara at around two o'clock that afternoon. I asked the driver of the car driving Ryoko. The driver said that Ryoko had originally hired a car to go to Yugawara, but after arriving at Yugawara, she ordered to drive to Atami.The car drove to the gate of Haifengzhuang Hotel in Atami.Liangzi got out of the car, and he drove back. I was overjoyed when I heard it, and immediately went to Atami, needless to say, to Haifengzhuang to investigate.This leads to the following things. Ryoko meets a female guest in the "Maple" room.This female guest came alone at 8 o'clock on January 14th and stayed for five days.Judging from age and appearance, there is no problem, it is Ah Shi. Of course, what Ah Shi registered in the accounting office was a pseudonym.The pseudonym is Sugawara Yukiko.The surname Sugawara is also the pseudonym Sayama used at the Tanbaya Hotel in Hakata.Ryoko explained at the gate of the Sea Breeze Hotel that she wanted to see Sugawara.From this point of view, it is obvious that Sayama, Ah Shi and Ryoko had contacted each other separately, and it was also out of Ryoko's plan.The two women ate dinner in their room and left the hotel at ten o'clock.Ahshi's hotel expenses for five days were also paid by Ryoko. Since Ah Shi arrived at the hotel at 8:30 p.m. on the 14th, he obviously got off the "Chaofeng" express train. The "Chaofeng" arrived at Atami at 19:58, so although she and Sayama were on the same car, they got off halfway.The "guest, one person" you deduced is indeed correct. They left the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening on the 19th. According to the timetable, they took the "Chikushi" express train from Atami to Hakata at 22:25.This bus arrived at the terminal Hakata at 19:45 on the 20th. What a coincidence.Wasn’t Sayama staying at the Tanbaya Hotel in Hakata around eight o’clock in the evening when a woman called him out on the phone?In other words, they got off the train and immediately called Sayama out. Knowing this point, the following steps are difficult to judge.The woman who called Sayama to come out, was Ah Shi?Or Ryoko?Of course, the first thing I considered was Ah Shi, but if it was Ah Shi, there would be something I couldn’t pick up.Since Zuo Shan has nothing to do with Ah Shi, she calls him to come out, but Sa Shan does not necessarily come out.Sayama stayed in Hakata for a week, waiting only for the phone call, so it wouldn't be Ah Shi.So it was probably Ryoko who called him. why?Because Ryoko is Yasuda's wife and acts as his "agent".In other words, Sayama was waiting for Yasuda.After hearing Liangzi's words, he said that she was looking for him on behalf of Yasuda, so he came out immediately. Ryoko will go to Sayama and tell him what worries him the most.So, he was taken to the coast of Kashii.It's hard for us to know what excuse she used. It seems that she must be saying that the facts are confidential and she needs to find a place where there is no one to discuss in detail.Kashii Beach is the location arranged in advance. What worries Sayama is the development of the investigation of the corruption case.Although Zuoshan is an alternate section chief, he holds the real power, and the investigative hand is about to reach out to him.Director Ishida therefore asked him to go to Hakata to avoid the limelight in the name of "vacation".Ishida himself is a major figure in the corruption, and Sayama himself would be in danger if he were arrested.That was why Sayama went to Hakata, and was ordered to go there on the 14th by the Asakaze train.Even Ishida will tell him that Yasuda will also go to Hakata, and he should wait for Yasuda at the hotel. Zuoshan received an order from his boss, and only Weiwei agreed.He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.He was usually afraid of his boss, and he knew it was probably because he was afraid that his testimony would influence Ishida.There are many alternate section chiefs like this.There are many people who commit suicide like this.The murderer took advantage of this possibility. Ishida probably discussed with Yasuda how to solve the case secretly, so he ordered Sayama to wait for Yasuda in the hotel.But An Ri was not there, and it was the "agent" Ryoko who met him.Sayama has been to Yasuda's house and knows Ryoko.Perhaps it was Yasuda who was so careful that he took Sayama to his home in Kamakura on purpose to let him meet Ryoko first. The two arrived at Kashii by train from Hakata.Who would have known that just behind them, Yasuda and Ah Shi got off at the Kashii Tram Station and went to the coast along the same road.No, it's just that Sayama doesn't know about it, but Ryoko knows the whole plan like the back of his hand. Ryoko then said to Sayama that everything is going well, so don't worry, the weather is cold, let's drink some whiskey.Sayama, who is good at drinking, is relieved and drinks whiskey.Potassium cyanate was mixed in the wine, and Sayama immediately collapsed to death.The orange juice bottle with potassium cyanate left at the scene was Ryoko's disguise. On the other hand, Yasuda, who followed to the coast, arrived at the airport at 19:20 by Japan Airlines from Tokyo.He met Ah Shi, and took Ah Shi to the coast according to the place Liangzi told him.On the way, Ah Shi said, "This place is so quiet!" was heard by a passer-by. On this uninhabited, night-falling coast, Yasuda also let Ah Shi drink whiskey mixed with poison.Then, he carried her body over and placed it beside Sayama who was already dead.Ryoko was standing there.The place where Ah Shi was poisoned was only 20 meters away from the scene of Sashan.In the dark, Ah Shi couldn't see anything. After Yasuda killed Ah Shi, he must have shouted, "Hey, Ryoko." Ryoko must have echoed in the dark, "Here." Yasuda hugged Ah Shi's body, walked over in the direction of Ryoko's voice, and put her beside Sayama.The sight was eerie. Having said that, you can think about the situation on the scene.Under your guidance, I have also been to this place, which is a coast full of rocks.Walking over with something slightly heavier will not leave footprints.The murderer even calculated this clearly.Probably, Yasuda had been to the Kashii coast in the past, so he chose this place as the place to kill. This murder case, which makes people mistaken for the death of love, is the cooperation of the husband and wife.Ryoko is not only the designer, but also half of the participants.Ah Shi acted according to what the Yasuda and his wife said, without any doubts. In it, there is the relationship between the Yasuda couple and Ah Shi.Judging from the many facts above, it is conceivable that Yasuda and Ah Shi have a deep-rooted love affair.However, they kept it extremely secret from outsiders.The relationship between the two began when Yasuda went to "Xiaoxue Restaurant" for dinner, and Ah Shi was the waitress who greeted him.Yasuda is the man who often gets calls looking for Ah Shi to go out. However, Ryoko's attitude is very strange.She and her husband's mistress, Ah Shi, who should be her rival in love, not only met, but also took the train together. What's the reason? I suddenly thought about it from the fact that Ryoko paid Ahshi's expenses at the Atami Hotel.Liangzi knew about the relationship between the lovers, maybe Ah Shi would still get a monthly allowance from Liangzi!Because Ryoko is weak, the doctor forbids her to have any more married life with her husband.For this reason, she had to admit that Ah Shi was the second wife.This is a very abnormal relationship.There are many things in this world that we can't imagine.Isn't this a matter of ancient feudal times? The original plan was only to arrange for Sayama to die like suicide.However, doing so is dangerous.No suicide note, not like suicide.It is inferred from here that love is dead.Prosecutors have always been very loose about love death cases, neither dissecting nor conducting investigations.This is a safe method of killing.Unfortunately, Ah Shi was chosen as the other party. As far as Yasuda is concerned, he has no real love for Ah Shi.Everyone is the same.As long as the "physiology" can be satisfied, it is fine to change another person.As far as Ryoko is concerned, she always thinks that Ah Shi is her husband's object anyway, so she might as well be the object of love death again.Probably, in a fundamental sense, she didn't like Ah Shi.This is a horrible woman.Not only is his head calm, but his blood is as cold as ice.She tidied up the messy clothes of Ah Shi's corpse, and replaced the dusty old socks with a pair of new socks that had been prepared long ago, making people believe that Ah Shi was planning to die in advance.What a thoughtful subsection. That night, the couple lived in Hakata, Yasuda took the first flight to Tokyo, and then changed to Hokkaido; Ryoko boarded the train and returned to Kamakura. As for when Ah Shi and Sayama left Tokyo on the 14th, why did Yasuda go to Fukuoka six days later?This is because Yasuda is afraid that leaving Tokyo immediately will make people suspicious.In fact, after Ah Shi left on the 14th, he showed up at "Xiaoxue Restaurant" for two or three days in a row, and pretended to be ignorant, asking the waitresses, "Ah Shi went on a trip with my lover. "It's all about trying to give the impression that he has nothing to do with it.It is precisely because of this that Ah Shi stayed idle in Atami Hotel for five days. It turned out that Yasuda accepted the entrustment of Director Ishida to get rid of the alternate section chief Sayama in order to make the director as stable as Mount Tai.This is not only for Director Ishida himself, but also for the many bosses of Sayama.After this matter was settled, the machine manufacturer Yasuda made great contributions to Director Ishida of the XX Department and was greatly favored. The collusion between Yasuda and Director Ishida is much deeper than the outside world imagined.In order to expand the company's business with the ×× Department, Yasuda will naturally do everything possible to please Ishida, and may even give a large number of gifts and cash.After the corruption incident this time, Ishida was in a difficult situation, and he knew it very well.Well, now is the biggest gift-giving opportunity yet.We used to look at the relationship between the two only on the surface, but in fact, Yasuda is looking forward to the future and using social means to get close to Ishida.Since Yasuda knew that Director Ishida was in danger in the corruption incident and would become the center of the investigation, he secretly enlightened him on the road to eliminate the alternate section chief Sayama.No, maybe it was Yasuda's face-to-face advice that convinced Director Ishida. Originally, Director Ishida did not intend to kill Sayama, but hoped to use oppressive means to force him to commit suicide, just like self-sacrifice in many similar incidents.However, that is impossible.So Yasuda came up with a method that looked like suicide but was actually homicide.Don't use the method of suicide alone, but use the method of loving death to achieve it.Suicide alone is easily suspected of homicide.Committing suicide with a woman is much less suspicious.This tactic was used ingeniously, which made the police detectives believe it. Director Ishida didn't know that Yasuda was going to kill Sayama. He always thought that Yasuda was forcing Sayama to commit suicide, so he followed his request and went to Hokkaido for a business trip. He prepared the passenger list for the Aomori-Hakodate Ferry and arranged for him to be an impostor. .Senior officials of a ministry can travel on business at will, and it is common practice to take the general affairs officials of the ministry with them. Later, when it was known that "Sayama and the woman had taken potassium cyanate" and committed suicide, Director Ishida changed his color.Yasuda told him everything about killing Sayama.In this way, Yasuda gained the upper hand and pushed Director Ishida down.Ishida had to act according to Yasuda's words, and sent General Sasaki to the Metropolitan Police Department to testify for Yasuda, proving that he had indeed gone to Hokkaido.In fact, this step had the opposite effect, and instead dug Yasuda's grave. Yasuda had had enough of playing around with Ah Shi.She was used as a tool to kill Sayama, and Yasuda's wife Ryoko, rather than helping her husband, was more interested in killing Ah Shi.Although she herself clearly recognizes Ah Shi as her husband's lover, it cannot change her hostility towards her rival.Having lost her physical qualifications as a wife, she subconsciously hides twice as much jealousy as ordinary people.This kind of blue flame like phosphorous fire will burn if given the chance.So when Sayama was removed, Ah Shi was made a victim.As for Yasuda himself, did he kill Sayama mainly to collude with Director Ishida?Or is it mainly to kill Ah Shi, who is tired of playing, to get rid of her?Until now, I still don't understand. The above is my reasoning, and the part below is based on the posthumous writing of the Yasuda couple. It should be explained that Yasuda Tatsuro and Ryoko died at home in Kamakura before I went to arrest them.Both drank potassium cyanate.No pretense this time. Yasuda Tatsuro knew very well that we were investigating very closely.So he took his life together with his wife whose condition was getting worse day by day.Yasuda has no suicide note.Only Ryoko left a suicide note. According to this, they died in fear of sin.But is that really the case?I always think that Yasuda Tatsuro, who is very confident, will not commit suicide.I think it must be Ryoko, who thinks her death is not far away, has used some kind of deception to lead her husband to the gate of hell.Ryoko is such a woman. However, the death of Yasuda and his wife is really troublesome.Because, in this way, all the physical evidence will disappear, leaving only the evidence for inferring the situation.Based on this evidence, only an arrest warrant could be issued, but no further proof could be produced at trial. When it comes to lack of evidence, Director Ishida is also involved.Although he stopped his position in the department because of the corruption incident and transferred to another department, he was actually promoted one step higher.Although this kind of situation is stupid, but the affairs in the palace just don't make sense like this.Perhaps he will be promoted to deputy minister and member of parliament.It's a pity that loyal and loyal are regarded as Yishi's subordinates.After they are favored by their superiors, no matter how they are used, they are all excited, thinking that they can "fly to the top", which is really amazing!As for serving Director Ishide, Kitaro Sasaki, who pretended to be Tatsuro Yasuda, has been promoted to chief of general affairs.After the death of Yasuda and his wife, we can only watch helplessly as they rise to the top. It was an unpleasant case in retrospect.Therefore, staying at home today, drinking Izura beer, and relaxing, as if the murderer had been arrested and handed over to the prosecutor. This letter is very long, so let me stop here.If you have free time this autumn, you must be invited to visit Kyushu. Sincerely, Kiichi Mihara
