Chapter 13 zero focus -1

Superintendent Hayama gave the business card to Zhenzi.The name and title of Yusaku Takada are clearly printed. "Oh, is it?" Zhenzi said, his heart was extremely confused. Manager Murota came to Tokyo on a business trip unexpectedly.This has been heard at the Kanazawa head office.then.The people in the company's general affairs department were not clear about the content of the manager's business trip.Only then did I understand that the purpose of Manager Murota's visit to Tokyo was not to do business with the company, but to come to the Sichuan Office to inquire about Hisako Tanuma.

Why did Murota rush to the Tachikawa Police Station in such a hurry?Why is the matter of Hisako Tanuma linked to the Tachikawa Police Department?It can be considered that Manager Murota has a certain degree of understanding of Tanuma Hisako's personality.And one can imagine the relationship between the manager and Hisako.Zhenzi had noticed this before. Zhenzi asked the superintendent: "I don't know what questions this manager Murota asked? It may not be appropriate for me to ask you this way." The superintendent answered briskly: "No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't involve investigative secrets." A smile appeared on the superintendent's face.

"The manager asked, is the woman in the photo a woman with a special occupation who worked with American soldiers on this base after the war?" Manager Murota's question was exactly the same as that prepared by Sadako.From this point of view, Murota is not clear about Tanuma Hisako's previous life experience. In other words, Murota met Hisako Tanuma after she left the special life.At that time, Hisako Tanuma would definitely not tell the manager about her life experience.Therefore, now that Murota has doubts about Hisako's body, he came here. How did Manager Muroda find out that Hisako Tanuma used to be a jeep girl?What clues did he follow?

Zhenzi discovered that Tanuma was a woman with a special profession because she spoke special English mixed with slang. It seems that he must have more specific facts to speculate on Hisako's life experience.Of course Sadako would not know what this specific fact was. "Do you know this woman?" "It's impossible to understand based on photos alone." Superintendent Ha Shan replied. "When I was with your husband Kenichi Uhara, I had a lot of contact with this kind of women. I am in the traffic department, not as specialized as Uhara-kun. But when I saw them wandering around the street, I also detained them for traffic violations. But, I seem to have seen the woman in the photo in the newspaper somewhere."

"Do you have a memory?" Huizi asked Superintendent Hayama who was staring at the photo. "It's not clear yet. If my memory is correct, I seem to have seen this woman. If I have an impression, then she is an old face in this area." "Is her name the same as it says in the newspaper?" The superintendent saw the name "Hisako Tanuma" under the photo on the newspaper clipping. "It's the wrong name, but I can't remember it either, but I'll ask her landlady, and maybe I'll figure it out." "Where is the landlord?" Zhenzi asked excitedly.

"About one kilometer south from here, at the end of the city street, there are now some farmhouses. But unlike ordinary farmhouses, they have built small western-style buildings. Those women lived in this area at that time. There is a proprietress surnamed Daxian She took good care of them and rented the house to them. After meeting her, you will understand.” The superintendent said. Zhenzi originally thought that if he met Superintendent Hayama, he might not be able to learn about Hisako Tanuma's past.He is not a discipline unit, but a transportation unit. Although he lacks information in this regard, he told Zhenzi the new clue.Zhenzi thinks it is worthwhile to come here.

Thinking of this, she wondered if Superintendent Hayama would also tell Murota this clue.When I asked, it was true. The superintendent tilted his head and asked: "Ma'am, that one was holding a four-inch photo just now, and both of you are looking for this woman, why?" The superintendent's eyes showed hesitation. Zhenzi found the landlord according to the address given by Superintendent Hayama.At first glance, it turns out that I passed by here the last time I came here. In the windbreak forest, there are rows of farmers, with a wide field in front of them.Rolling hills can be seen in the distance.

The high slope of Musashino is at the northern end of this area.The last time I came, the nurse was walking hand in hand with a woman in a red suit. As Superintendent Hayama said, half of the Dazen family is an old farmhouse, and the other half is a Western-style building. Because it is a cheap building, it has been built for less than ten years, so it seems to be quite old.The paint on the walls was peeling off. When Zhenzi went to the house and asked, the housewife came out immediately.She was a stocky woman in her mid-fifties, with saggy eye circles and drooping cheeks. Zhen Zi took out the photo, and the housewife immediately realized what Zhen Zi was doing, because Manager Murota came before her.

"You are the second." Zhenzi knew who that person was without asking.See how she responds.Chunky Housewife says: "I also told that one that she did live with me, but her name was not Tanuma Hisako. Although I have a moving certificate, I can't remember her name. No real name is used here, but it must not be that name. American soldiers call her 'Amy'. Her personality is not very cheerful, and she belongs to the kind of introverted person. She is very popular with American soldiers, but she is popular. She has lived with me for about a year.'" The landlady said with dull eyes:

"I also don't understand what's going on. How come these girls have pointed buttocks. It's rare to stay in one place for a year." Zhenzi asked, "Since she left, has there been any letter?" The housewife smiled slightly and said, "No matter how you take care of these girls, after you leave, you don't even have a thank you letter, but Amy sent a postcard." "Is this postcard still there?"' "This happened a long time ago, I'm afraid I can't find it." The housewife said impatiently. Zhenzi wants to see this postcard no matter what. With this postcard, maybe he can know the identity of Tanuma Hisako. The landlady only judges that this woman looks like "Amy" based on the face in the photo.

This postcard probably came seven or eight years ago. Zhenzi is embarrassed to ask the landlady to find it. "Then where is Amy's hometown?" Zhenzi had no choice but to say what Mrs. Dong said.The landlady thought for a moment. "Well... At that time, those girls came in and out, and they couldn't remember where their hometown was. Where did Amy come from?..." The landlady closed her eyes and thought for a while.Her complexion was very bad, she didn't look like a peasant housewife, she dealt with these women exclusively, maybe she also did this special business herself. "It seems to be Hokkaido." The landlady muttered. Hokkaido?That's totally wrong.But Hokkaido is associated with snow.Perhaps Tanuma Hisako talked to the landlady about how it often snowed in her hometown, and the landlady vaguely remembered it as Hokkaido. Zhenzi told the landlady what happened to her instantly. "Yes!" The landlady opened her eyes and glanced at Zhenzi. "Maybe it's the same as what you said. I remember Amy said that the snow in her hometown is very deep, and she can't do anything in winter." "I presume she's from Ishikawa Prefecture. Did she ever say, 'Ishikawa Prefecture? "The landlady muttered, lost in thought. "So, the postcard might have been mailed from that area, and the address is Ishikawa County. Wait a minute, I'll look for the postcard, maybe I can find it." It would be easy for the landlady to bring it up herself.Zhenzi said, please look for it anyway. The warm winter sun shines in the front courtyard.In the bushes by the fence, Nandina bears red fruits, and the sound of pounding rice cakes can be heard nearby.Suddenly, the air cracked and an explosion sounded.Nearby U.S. Air Force planes took off frequently.The sound of pounding rice cakes, which has been a symbol of peace since ancient times, and the deafening explosions form a wonderful contrast. Listening to the sound of pounding rice cakes makes one feel like the New Year is approaching.Sadako and Kenichi Uhara got married in mid-November.She felt that this period of time had been extremely long. During this period, her husband mysteriously disappeared, and she was dragged around.Then the elder brothers Sotaro and Honda Ryoo.Hisako Tanuma was swept away by the black vortex and lost her life one after another.In just over a month, it seems like many years have passed. Twenty minutes later, the pudgy housewife emerged from the room, postcard in one hand and a smile on her lips. "I kept you waiting for a long time, but I finally found it." The postcard is old and brown. "Thank you." Sadako thought now, how wonderful.This trip was so worthwhile. Zhenzi immediately looked at the sender's address, which only said "Uza County, Ishikawa Prefecture".I guess I don't want to give out the detailed address.The name is "Amy".Since it was Hazena, Ishikawa Prefecture, it must be Hisako Tanuma, and Hisako was unwilling to reveal his address.It was difficult to put my real name on a postcard because of my lifestyle change. Zhenzi looked at it in turn: Thanks for your care, thank you.I have left the city and returned to my hometown.Mom, you have been so kind to me, thank you so much.wish you a happy life. The letter is very simple, but it proves that "Aimi" is Hisako Tanuma. "Sending such a postcard shows that Amy is a girl with good character." The housewife said while watching Zhenzi. "The rest of the girls, if you don't like hard and soft, you can't talk about it. Only Amy is different. To American soldiers, she is like a capable wife. She is lovable. American Yu likes the gentleness of Japanese women." Zhenzi asked about Amy's appearance.The features the housewife said were exactly the same as the Hisako Tanuma whom Sadako had seen. "Thank you." Zhenzi returned the postcard to the housewife. Only Sadako saw this postcard.Of course, Manager Muroda wouldn't know.The problem is not here.Manager Murota confirmed Tanuma Hisako's life experience and went back; and Zhenzi caught the evidence and really implemented it. Sadako walked towards the station.As she expected, Hisako was really a jeep girl.Her heart was heavy at the moment.The house of Tanuma Hisunaga on the coast of the northern country floated in front of his eyes.Hisako Tanuma, who lived an obscure peasant life, and Hisako Tanuma, who swaggered through the city with the shoulders of American soldiers in heavy clothes, appeared alternately in Zhenzi's mind. When Zhenzi returned home, the nearby rice cake shop had delivered the rice cakes for the New Year.Night fell.Under the electric light, the rice cakes glow white. Every time she sees rice cakes, Zhenzi seems to return to her childhood.The pounding of rice cakes heard in Tachikawa echoed in my ears again. "Where have you been?" "Went to see a friend." Zhenzi didn't tell the truth, and said some unnecessary words to his mother, which didn't help, but said it with a heavy heart.Mother also knew she was lying and said nothing. The daughter who lost her husband, what she is thinking and what she wants to do at the moment, the mother has her mother's imagination. Zhenzi walked into her own room, which was no longer "her own room". Since Uhara Kenichi disappeared, she had no choice but to return to her mother's house.Under the arrangement of my mother, I moved some furniture from the apartment and arranged it according to the style of the girl's time, but the atmosphere is still different from before, and there always seems to be something missing.That is the fault associated with Yuan Xianyi's disappearance. How is Manager Murota doing now? - Sadako sat down in front of the brazier and began to think. Manager Murota left Kanazawa yesterday morning and arrived in Tokyo last night.Going to Lichuan today, I took the same route as Zhenzi, but he took a step first.Now he took the train back to Kanazawa?Or stay in Tokyo for business? —— Zhenzi made all kinds of imaginations. She always felt that Manager Murota was wandering the streets of Tokyo at dusk in search of Hisako Tanuma's footsteps. How close are Murota and Tanuma Hisako?Does he know the relationship between Hisako and Kenichi? It is an undoubted fact that Kenichi and Hisako live together.It can be considered that Manager Muroda knew about it and approached Hisako. why would you say so?Because after Kenichi's death, Manager Murota arranged for Hisako Tanuma to work in his company.It is unimaginable that he only met Jiuzi after Xianyi died.His relationship with Hisako already existed when Kenichi was alive.So he must have known that Hisako Tanuma was living with Ken. In this case, how should the position of manager Muroda be set? According to the general situation, the so-called triangle relationship.Manager Murota's Standing Committee met with Hisako Tanuma.And Hisako lived an unknown life on the coast of Noto, and rarely had the opportunity to come to Kanazawa.Therefore, Manager Muroda, who was busy all day long, had no chance to meet Hisako. So, how did the special relationship be established between two people?Manager Muroda, who is active in Kanazawa, and Hisako, who is always at home in a desolate fishing village, can't find a place for the two to meet regardless of time or space. Therefore, the relationship between Murota and Hisako dates back to before Kenichi and Hisako lived together.According to the postmark on the postcard, Hisako knew Murota long before he knew Kenichi. During this period, Hisako squatted in front of Noto's mother's house and went to Kanazawa to make a living.Otherwise, she would have absolutely no chance to meet Murota. Considering the order, it should be that after Hisako returned home from Tachikawa, after one or two years to make a living in Kanazawa, he met Murota, and after many contacts and established a relationship, Hisako met Kenichi, the director of the A advertising office. They started dating, so they alienated Murota and lived with Ken. Murota knows Hisako's life.It is conceivable that Hisako often sees Murota.Murota didn't give up on Hisako. Therefore, after Kenichi's death, he immediately asked the company to hire Hisako and asked her to live in Kanazawa. Thinking about it this way, the relationship between Murota and Hisako became much clearer. How much did Honda, who tracked down Kenichi's disappearance, know about this relationship? He told Zhenzi almost all of his thoughts, but concealed some.That night, he called the hotel very late and said that it was too late to bother him.He also said that the female messenger was very interesting. He learned a little about the situation, and the details will not be revealed until tomorrow. When they met the next day, Honda showed Sadako Tanuma Hisako's resume.At that time he mentioned Hisako's husband "Sone Masaburo".He believed what the resume said.But then Zhenzi found out that "Sone Masaburo" was Kenichi, Hisako and Murata had a relationship for a long time, did Honda know about it? During the investigation process, it was difficult for Honda to tell Zhenzi the whole truth.In particular, the unclear facts about Zhenzi's husband Kenichi will not be fully confessed to Zhenzi until they are investigated and confirmed later. However, during the investigation, Honda went to Tokyo and was killed by Hisako Tanuma, who was aliased as "Tomoko Sugino".The reason why Hisako Tanuma wanted to kill Honda was because Honda knew her secret too much. Zhenzi thought hard, the reason why Honda was killed must be because he had mastered the secret that must be killed.But she still can't figure out what the secret is? Even if Hisako Tanuma used to be a jeep girl and had a secret relationship with Manager Murota, even if it was revealed, it would not be serious.To a woman, of course, this is very dishonorable, but not enough to be a motive for killing Honda. If she had a reason for having to assert herself, what exactly was it?Zhenzi thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. Zhenzi used to think that Hisako's killing of Honda and Sotaro was related to Kenichi's sudden death.If Xianyi's death was homicide.Then the murderer was afraid of Sotaro and Honda who were approaching the truth, so he used Hisako's hands to eliminate them. Therefore, Xianyi's death was not a suicide, but a disguised suicide after being killed by others.Zhenzi's inference was overturned by himself. The barrier in front of him is that Xianyi's suicide doesn't look like homicide no matter what.Before he died, he tidied up his surroundings.According to the investigation report of the police department, the deceased sorted out his belongings at the scene and left a suicide note. This was a clever homicide.The murderer can arrange the relics to look like a suicide, but it is absolutely impossible for the suicide note written by himself. "Thinking about the result, I feel that it is very difficult to live. I don't want to tell you the details. In short, I disappeared from this world forever with my heart in my arms." Zhenzi still remembers the sentences in the suicide note very clearly. Zhenzi wondered again.At around 3:00 p.m. on the 11th, Xian told his colleague Honda that he would go to Takaoka today, return to Kanazawa tomorrow, and then return to Tokyo.Could this be Xianyi's cover-up?It's unimaginable.This is Kenichi's sincere words, and Zhenzi also received a postcard from him saying that he will be back on the 12th.He loves his newlywed wife Sadako.She didn't believe he would lie to her. Zhenzi still firmly believes that when he went to Xinzhou for his wedding trip, the love he expressed was definitely not fake.He sincerely wishes to be transferred from the Kanazawa office to the Tokyo head office.He is happy to start a family with Sadako in Tokyo.No matter how you look at it, there is no reason to commit suicide. He committed suicide by jumping off a cliff because he couldn't end his long-term cohabitation with Tanuma Hisako, and was bored to the end because of insanity.Sudden suicide, leaving such a suicide note is too unnatural.On such an occasion, one would not leave a suicide note and die suddenly. This barrier stood still in front of Zhenzi.Had Honda already broken through this barrier?It seems that Honda's speculation is always one step ahead of Sadako.Therefore, it can be considered that Honda has broken through Sadako's barrier; in turn, he was killed by Jiu just because he broke through the barrier. Thinking of this, Zhenzi couldn't help but get excited. From this point of view, Kenichi was killed by Hisako! Otherwise, Hisako would have no reason to kill Honda, nor would he have any reason to kill Sotaro who was following along the same line as Honda. The reason why the two were killed was because both of them were following her. Assuming that Hisako killed Kenichi, several reasons can be found, because Kenichi has fallen in love with his newly married wife, and his heart has left Jiuzi.But Hisako refused to give up Kenichi.If he goes back to Tokyo, then her life with him will be over.She doesn't know Kenichi's real name, and always believes that he is Masaburo Sone.Therefore, she does not know that Xianyi is an employee of A advertising company.However, she knew in her heart that the disappearance of Masaburo Sone in front of her was tantamount to a farewell.Hisako can't bear it.So she lures Kenichi to stand on the Noto cliff, pushes him off, and then pretends to commit suicide.That makes sense. However, this is not quite reasonable.Because Kenichi would not write such a suicide note.This suicide note was a barrier in front of her eyes. The mother poked her head in and saw Zhenzi sitting alone in a daze, and said that the rice cakes were ready, come and eat them. "Thank you, I'll eat later." Zhenzi calmly declined. Mother did not insist on persuading her to eat.When she saw the figure of Zhenzi who was lost in thought with a brazier in his hands under the dim electric light, she swallowed back what she wanted to say. In short, Honda tracked down the core of the incident one step earlier than Sadako.Honda was killed by Hisako, and he leaked the news that Hisako had left for Tokyo.But how did he know where Jiuzi lived?Honda probably didn't have time to investigate. Jiu Yu retired from the apartment and hid himself on the night of the 25th.Honda went to her apartment and learned that Hisako disappeared the next day, the morning of the 26th. That night, Honda said that he had business to go back to the Tokyo head office and set off by night train.Zhenzi went to Kanazawa Station to see him off. Calculated in this way, Honda did not have much time. It was only a few hours from the morning of the twenty-sixth day when he was informed that Jiuyu was missing.How could Honda find out about Hisako's apartment in Tokyo in such a short period of time?And how did he know that Hisako's pseudonym was "Tomoko Sugino"? Perhaps Honda knew a lot of things that Sadako didn't know.Even so, after Tanuma Hisako disappeared, he did not have time to find Hisako's apartment in Tokyo and learn her alias. Even if he had spare time, what method of investigation would he adopt?Therefore, rather than saying that Honda investigated it himself, it would be more reasonable to say that a third party told him.In this way, troublesome investigations can be avoided even if there is no spare time. Looking at it now, it was quite unnatural for Honda to suddenly say on the evening of the 26th that he had a business trip to Tokyo.Of course, there may also be official business.But that's what he's attached to.The actual goal is to search for Hisako's whereabouts.He left so suddenly that someone might have told Honda of Hisako's whereabouts. On the platform, before departure, Honda said to Sadako: "I'll be back in three days. By then, the matter about Hisako Tanuma will be revealed. I'll investigate the case immediately when I come back." ——At that time, his expression was full of confidence, it didn't look like he was just trying to comfort Zhenzi. At that time, Honda also said: "Hisako worked for Toyo Shoji Company in Tokyo from 1947 to 1951. This is what is written in his resume. I want to go to Toyo Shoji Company to have a look." At that time, Sadako thought, how could such a big Tokyo find out Hisako's address. Honda said that he had found the clue of Tokyo Shoji Company, which seemed reasonable at the time.It now appears that this is nonsense.Honda didn't take Toyo Shoji Company seriously at all, it was just talking. In his mind, he had already made up his mind to go directly to Tokyo to find "Tomoko Sugino".Why did he hide it from Zhenzi?Probably wanted to tell Zhenzi after everything was settled. So who told Yoshio Honda the pseudonym "Tomoko Sugino" and her address?Don't think about it, there is no one else except Manager Murota.Manager Murota is the person closest to Hisako and the person who understands her best.Assuming that Murota instructed Hisako to escape, designate an apartment, and asked her to use "Sugino Tomoko" as an alias, then Honda listened to Murota's words and took immediate action. Why did Murota tell Honda?It was because Hisako told Murota that Honda was following her.For Murota, tracking Hisako is facing a common crisis. Honda found the residence of Hisako, whose alias was "Tomoko Sugino", drank poisonous whiskey and died.Murota tells Honda where Hisako is, and it is estimated that Honda will definitely visit Hisako.Murota systematically instigated Honda to go find Hisako. Murota prepared poisonous whiskey in advance, gave it to Hisako before departure, and told her that if Honda came to visit, treat him with this and let him drink it.Hisako may not know that there is poison in the whiskey, so he entertains Honda with it. Honda drank the wine and poured it in front of Hisako. Hisako was terrified when she saw Honda die suddenly in front of her eyes. She immediately fled the apartment in a panic and took the train back to Kanazawa that day. On this occasion, Hisako may have conspired with Murota, as Hisako knew that whiskey was poisonous.But judging from the fact that Jiuzi fled in embarrassment, this view was denied.If Hisako knew that whiskey was poisonous, then she used even more clever methods. In the apartment in Tokyo, she abandoned her things and returned to Kanazawa in a panic that night.It seems natural.If she foresaw that the wine was poisonous and planned to kill people, she would not return to Jinze, but fled in the other direction. In other words, when Hisako saw Honda suddenly collapsed in front of her eyes, she realized that the whiskey that Murota gave her was poisonous, and then went to Murota in a panic. This explanation is more reasonable.She must have had mixed feelings at the time. On the other hand, Murota also estimated that Hisako would turn pale in shock and return to Kanazawa in a panic. At this time, Murota had already made preparations.In the past, there must have been a designated place in Kanazawa City for Hisako and Muroda to contact each other.Hisako returned to Kanazawa from Tokyo, went to the designated place first, and then called Murota. What action did Murota take at this time? After receiving a call from Hisako, Murota said that it would be dangerous if she showed up in Kanazawa, and instructed her to go to Tsururai.Hisako was in a mess, especially because he killed Honda with poisoned whiskey, and was afraid of being chased by the police.She had no choice but to follow Murota's instructions silently. Hisako took the Hokuriku Railway from the hidden place to Tsururai.Murota must have appointed her a meeting place as well. The meeting place is not a hotel. Unlike Kanazawa, outsiders will attract the attention of the locals in a rural area like Tsururai.Murota wouldn't be foolish enough to choose a spot that stands out.Although Murota lives in Kanazawa, he is familiar with Tsururai's situation, and Hisako is also quite experienced in this area.The two must choose an unobtrusive and secluded place.That's where there are few pedestrians after dark. Hisako went there to wait first, and then Manager Murota quietly appeared there.Is it unreasonable to consider this way? Here is the proof.For example, Honda died after drinking whiskey infused with potassium cyanide.Sotaro Uhara was also poisoned to death by drinking whiskey mixed with potassium cyanide.Killing people with poisoned whiskey is exactly the same. Another thing in common is that Hisako Tanuma fell to the Tetori River from a cliff on the outskirts of Tsurumi Town and died.Kenichi fell into the sea off a cliff off the west coast of Noto and died.These two methods of death are so similar, they are also methods used by the same person. Thinking of this, Zhenzi sorted out his thoughts. Judging from the last condition of Uhara Kenichi, it was suicide.But Zhenzi's intuition thought it was a homicide.Of course, there are many contradictions in this thinking, which are left to be resolved later.In short, there is mystery in his suicide. Sotaro Uhara came to investigate the truth about the death of his younger brother Kenichi.He somehow understood his brother's double life in Kanazawa.So he smelled the truth about Kenichi's death.Someone lured him to Helai Town and killed him. At this time, there is a woman next to Sotaro, who can be considered Hisako Tanuma.Jiuzi and X are accomplices, or Jiuzi is X's pawn. Why did Soutaro follow Hisako in a daze?Sotaro has not yet confirmed Kenichi's death, and he is dubious about his life and death.Hisako said that Kenichi was in Tsururai and tricked Sotaro to come here.Hisako lied that Kenichi had come from Noto to the secret residence of Yari, and Sotaro believed it.Sotaro asks to see Kenichi. Hisako and Sotaro went to Tsururai.Hisako said, I'll call Kenichi and ask Sotaro to wait in the "Chunoya" hotel. At this time, I will hand him a bottle of whiskey mixed with potassium cyanide. Sotaro said to the people in the hotel: "I'm waiting for someone." This kind of explanation can be established.All of what Jiuzi did was planned by X alone. X killed Sotaro, and Honda appeared again who came to pursue him.Since Soutaro was killed, Honda must be killed. X learned that Honda had suspected Hisako Tanuma, and ordered her to go to Tokyo.Instigated by X, Honda learned of Hisako's address and alias in Tokyo, so he followed her to Tokyo. X had already expected that Honda would go to Tokyo to find Hisako. Before Hisako fled to Tokyo, he gave her a bottle of poisoned whiskey for Honda. X also knows that Honda likes to drink whiskey. Hisako didn't know that wine was poisonous.Seeing Honda suddenly collapsed in front of her eyes.In order to discuss countermeasures for the aftermath, she fled back to Kanazawa in a panic.One is to ask why X put poison in the wine; the other is to escape the pursuit of the police and seek X's protection. X and Hisako have a regular contact point, and Hisako calls X from there. X ordered Jiuzi to take the Beifang Railway to Helai and wait.All these measures had already been planned when Hisako went to Tokyo. X went to Tsururai's contact point.The time may be at night, the place is very remote, and there are few pedestrians.The two avoided the eyes and ears and went to the scene.At this time, X must have persuaded Hisako with such words. ——The police have already suspected that you killed Honda. For the time being, you should hide in this countryside.I have a family I know well, and I will take you there now.Hisako believed it was true. The two were walking on the forest road on the cliff on the bank of the Qin River.At this time, X grabbed Jiuzi and pushed her off the cliff.Pushing down is the same as jumping off a cliff to commit suicide. Thinking of this, Zhenzi felt his lips turn pale, and couldn't help but startled. Kenichi committed suicide by jumping off a cliff on the west coast of Noto, or someone pushed him off from behind.This is exactly the same as what happened to Jiuzi later, by the way, Kenichi was pushed from behind by someone! At the scene where Kenichi left his suicide note, he neatly arranged his leather shoes, notepad and other belongings. No matter who looked at it, there was all evidence of suicide at the scene.The murderer asked Xianyi to arrange such a state by himself, and then pushed Xianyi off the cliff. Sadako imagined that there was another man standing beside Kenichi on the Noto cliff. It is Tsukusaku Murota.The relationship between Murota and Kenichi is not just a client-advertiser relationship.Sadako heard Honda say this before: "Mr. Murota admires Uhara-kun very much. A year ago, he suddenly doubled the amount of advertisements, which is also the result of Uhara-kun's hard work." He also said-Uhara-kun and the Murota couple are very close.From a diplomatic point of view, without such a deep friendship, it cannot be regarded as an ideal wrist. Zhenzi was surprised at the time.Does Kenichi really have such skills?The Kenichi that Zhenzi knows is honest and friendly, no matter how you look at it, he is a bit gloomy, and he is by no means the cheerful, sociable type.Maybe men have another side of their profession that women don't understand, so they are amazed. Thinking about it now, there was another reason for my simple wonder at the time. ——The combination of Kenichi and Manager Muroda was not due to business diplomacy, but a deeper relationship between Kenichi and Murata that was not known to others. As a result, Manager Murota gave Kenichi twice as many advertisements as his predecessor. What is this "deeper connection"?Sadako put Tanuma Kuyu in the middle for consideration.This complicated deep friendship prompted Kenichi to decide to commit suicide. Standing on that cliff, with Murata behind him, such a consideration cannot be said to be unreasonable. But what is the reason for the two to stand on the cliff? This starts from the beginning.I am afraid that since Kenichi went to Kanazawa to take up his post, he and Murota have already had a deep friendship.Because Zhenzi has never heard them talk about Murata Gisaku from the mouths of his elder brother-in-law and his wife. If Kenichi and Murata met in Tokyo, then he would always mention it in front of his brother and sister-in-law for such a close friendship. .In fact, Zhenzi took his sister-in-law to Kanazawa, but the sister-in-law didn't know Murata at all, and Soutaro never mentioned it.This shows that Sotaro met the Murata couple in the process of searching for Kenichi. Therefore, Kenichi never told Sotaro and his wife about the secret relationship between Kenichi and Murota, and about Kenichi's relationship after he came to Kanazawa. Kenichi not only has contacts with Muroda, but at the same time, he visits his family and becomes closer with his wife.Kentian and his wife are indeed kind to Kenichi.After Xianyi disappeared, Zhenzi went to ask about her husband's whereabouts. The couple worried about Xianyi as if they were relatives. The wife is a knowledgeable beauty, who is the leader of the famous lady in Jinze.As soon as Zhenzi met her, she got a taste of her intelligence and enthusiasm. So, does Madam know about the relationship between Kenichi and Murota?Treating Xianyi just because of her husband's relationship as an etiquette expression? Zhenzi suddenly thought, maybe such a smart wife has already discovered the relationship between her husband and Xianyi?It seems that Murota will not point out to his wife.With the wife's intelligence, she had already seen that Hisako Tanuma was sandwiched between her husband and Kenichi. The wife cared about Zhenzi like a relative, and expressed concern about Kenichi's disappearance. Did she learn something from her husband's attitude?Zhenzi thought of this from his wife's cleverness. There is a huge age difference between the lady and the manager.According to Honda, his wife is a customer of Murata Refractory Brick Co., Ltd. in Tokyo and a female employee of a certain company.At that time, the former wife was sick in bed, and Murota kept the current wife by his side as a mistress.After his ex-wife died of illness, he supported her as the main wife.Zhenzi observed from the side, Mr. Murota loves his wife very much. However, the manager still maintains a relationship with Tanuma for a long time.Just like the relationship between Kenichi and Zhenzi himself, Hisako is sandwiched between them. 5 New Year's Eve. Tomorrow is the new year. The elder brother's family is in mourning, so there is no need to go to New Year's greetings.Zhenzi also ushered in a gloomy New Year's Eve because of Kenichi's incident. Under the persuasion of her mother, Zhenzi went to visit her sister-in-law. It's been a long time since I came to Uncle Qingshan's house.This was the first time I saw my sister-in-law since we parted at Kanazawa Station. As soon as we met, my sister-in-law was more energetic than I imagined.She took a hit in Kanazawa that has eased over time. When we parted from Kanazawa, my sister-in-law was 100% sad, and Zhenzi thought she would not be able to bear it and couldn't get up.Seeing my sister-in-law now, she is much more cheerful than expected, and my sister-in-law seems to have recovered her original personality. "I can finally calm down. Since then, I have been busy with the funeral and dealing with the aftermath." "I'm sorry. I couldn't attend my brother's funeral." Zhenzi apologized. "No, farewell to saying that, you are too embarrassed. How is Kenichi's matter?" "I haven't figured it out yet." Zhenzi drooped her eyelids. She didn't want to tell Zhenzi what happened from then to today. "Really? It's really nerve-wracking." The sister-in-law frowned, frowning.She already guessed that Xianyi was dead, but she didn't want to say it out of her own mouth. "It's rare for you to come today, can you sit a little longer?" Sister-in-law said to Zhenzi. "Ok" The sister-in-law glanced at the cushion facing Yang.The cleaning at the end of the year seems to be over, and the house is very clean. "Where are the children?" the child asked.The answer was that both children went out to play. Zhenzi looked at her sister-in-law's face and thought: In the future, my sister-in-law will be really troubled, life problems, child rearing problems, and now my heart is heavy and I can't say it.Let's not mention this matter today, chat with my sister-in-law and spend a relaxing day, so that I can comfort my sister-in-law, which is suitable for both parties. My sister-in-law cooked a lot of dishes. Although she didn't entertain the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, she still prepared dishes for the New Year. The two talked about Kanazawa for a while. Although it was sad for the sister-in-law, it was the first time there after all, and she still felt nostalgic at the moment. At this time, guests came to the gate.The sister-in-law went out to greet her, and came back and said: "It's someone from your brother's company. Zhenzi, I'm sorry, just watch TV for a while, wait a minute." "Well, it's okay, please." "I'm sorry, let's talk later." After finishing speaking, my sister-in-law went out.The sister-in-law led the guest to another room. This is a corner of a quiet residential street, so you can't hear people outside, and it's made of tatami mats.half in bright sunlight. Zhenzi turned the channel on the TV, and a picture of two middle-aged women and a man holding a symposium around the table appeared on the screen. Both women had been seen in newspapers or magazines.One is a critic, the other is a novelist, and the moderator is a commentator on women's issues in a certain newspaper.From which to start, the content is not clear.The theme seems to be "Women's Memories of the End of the War". "It has been thirteen years since the end of the war. As the saying goes, ten years is an era, and thirteen years should be more than an era. People in their teens may not be very clear about what will happen after the end of the war. I think Please talk about the situation of women at that time, Mr. Yuanchi." The host said. A female commentator replied, "At that time, when they heard that the American army was coming, the women were trembling. Except for a little trouble in some places, generally speaking, they didn't have any fear. It can be said that nothing happened. Besides, the American soldiers were very concerned about the situation. The women were very gracious and worthy of being gentlemen. Women were not surprised at the time." "Yes!" The female novelist moved her thin lips to speak. "Women at that time had confidence instead. Before that, Japanese men were very rough and could do whatever they wanted." Said, smiled. "But after seeing American soldiers, women's views on men have changed. Women who have been servile to men until now suddenly regained their confidence. Is it fair to say that?" "Yes. At that time, Japanese men lost self-confidence because of the defeat. At this point, women are much more aggressive than men." The host echoed. The critic went on to say: "From this point of view, I think the three or four years after the war was a time when Japanese men lost their self-confidence, while Japanese women were fearless in front of the American occupying forces." "That's right. Women have never been so active, which is impressive. The reasons are, first, men's spirits are low. Second, after women have passed through the melancholy dynasty of wearing leggings, they suddenly wear American colorful clothes. The upper body becomes more active psychologically and physically.” The host nodded. "That's right. It's really new to see women wearing legged trousers remade from old kimonos all at once put on eye-catching red, yellow and blue suits." The novelist Weng moved his baby-like jaws and said: "At that time, Japan did not have decent clothes. The clothes they wore were made by the Americans. Therefore, like the weird English of the women who dealt with American soldiers, they were also influenced by the Americans in terms of clothing. They broke the old concept of women. " The critic is thin, the novelist is fat, one is thin and the other is fat, which is really interesting.Critics say: "There are also economic reasons. There was a lack of supplies during the war. After the war, almost all the rich and middle class lived by selling things. There were not a few women who fell under such drastic environmental changes. But at that time they didn't seem to feel that they were Degenerate, at least rarely has such a temperament. "A friendly American soldier is a woman's dream. The Japanese men who have been domineering until now are full of embarrassment and powerlessness. Women's rebound is very powerful, so, unlike the later professional prostitutes, there are also women from good families among these women. " Then the host said: "That's right. I heard that a well-bred lady who graduated from a certain school became a mistress of a GI. Thirteen years have passed since then, when I was twenty, I am now thirty-two or three-year-old.How are these people doing now? " "I think that most people have organized very good families. Those who have fallen from a state of degradation to a life of darkness are a minority after all. Most of them have recovered their original appearance and are now very decent people." "Later, the so-called jeep girls became fixed. Not long after the war, there were a considerable number of women mixed in, and a considerable number were women's college graduates. But these people have been reborn brilliantly. Now they are all in their thirties. Six years old , are happily married, as you say, and lead peaceful lives." "However, are these people confessing their past lives to their husbands," the host asked. "This is a delicate question." The novelist blinked his thin eyes and said: "For the sake of a peaceful married life, I'm afraid I can leave it alone. Of course, it's a different story for people who work on this kind of business and get married immediately; those who quit, find a proper job, and then marry a man are generally conservative. Secret. I think that's permissible." "That's right." The critic followed suit and said: "At that time, Japan suffered a defeat, and everyone was having nightmares. These women are also very poor.Because of their own efforts, they have established a new life, and they should be given happiness. " "Yes." Both of them nodded at the same time: "Women's clothes are generally quite beautiful now, which is also influenced by that time." The host said: "That's it. The materials are abundant, and the clothes are also abundant. You can choose the colors you like. Judging from that time, women digested popular clothing and turned it into individual clothing.As I said just now, it was dressed up by others at that time. " "However, you can still occasionally see women wearing the same clothes as they were back then." "That's a woman still in that profession," said the critic. "People who are far away from that industry now must wear different clothes than they did then." The topic of the symposium turned to the trend of recent clothing, the attitude of the relationship between men and women, etc., and it became more and more lively. Zhenzi couldn't listen to the following topics.In the process of listening to this symposium, her face changed. In the morning, Sadako arrived in Kanazawa.
