Chapter 11 Chapter 4 Bai Su Suspected of Murder

Fangzi couldn't help crying: "My brother left Japan, and he kept sending me letters. I was always worried about him. Suddenly, I received a notice that he was admitted to a mental hospital. I...I..." I quickly comforted her and said, "I think Mr. Shizao's mental illness is not serious." Fangzi said: "I hope so...you have read the article, will it be so serious and drive you crazy?" I smiled and said, "Of course not, this Osugi is a lunatic." Yoshiko shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Osugi is an excellent chess player with extremely superb chess skills."

I hummed: "Then, what does it mean that he keeps barking and revealing his secret? Can he really know what other people are thinking?" At this time, the car arrived at the destination, where the person lived was a mansion, Fangzi got out of the car, and suddenly said: "Mr. Wei, my brother mentioned some... very strange things in his letter to me... " The conversation between me and Yoshiko was originally just chatting without purpose, but hearing her talk like this at this time did not arouse my interest.Fangzi paused: "Unfortunately, I didn't bring his letter—"

I didn't wait for her to continue, so I said, "It's okay, next time you have a chance, show it to me." Yoshiko didn't say any more, and bowed to me: "Thank you." I waved to her and drove off. The car moved forward slowly.Fangzi was very polite and bowed beside the car again and again, which made it difficult for me to accelerate. The car slid forward slowly beside Fangzi. I described the situation at that time in detail, because only under such circumstances, will the following things happen. Yoshiko was still bowing, I looked at her politely and waved to her.

At this moment, Fangzi bowed and straightened up. The car was still beside her. I waved to Fangzi. Suddenly, I saw Fangzi staring at the front with an extremely surprised expression. Extremely palpitating feeling. When a person shows such an expression, it must be because he suddenly saw something surprising. I hurriedly looked in the direction she was looking at, and I had made plans in my heart to see the most terrifying thing, but there was nothing. What Fangzi looked at was the front part of my car. Everything that could be seen there was normal, and there were no golden and green monsters crawling on my car.

I hurriedly turned my head to look at Fangzi, only to see that her terrified expression hadn't subsided, but she was rubbing her eyes with her hands.Her actions made me believe that she really saw something just now. She was surprised in her heart, thinking that what she saw should not exist, so she subconsciously rubbed her eyes to see clearly. This is people's surprise. normal response to the state. I hurriedly opened the car window: "Miss Shi Zao, what's the matter?" Yoshiko didn't answer me immediately, but just put down her hands, still looking forward, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Her terrified expression had eased, her eyes were straightened, and she was looking forward.This time, I looked with her again, and I was sure she was looking at the protruding rearview mirror beside my car. I hurriedly looked into the rear-view mirror, but my heart couldn't help beating wildly, because if something appeared in the mirror, it would be really terrifying. However, everything reflected in the rear-view mirror was normal, and I heard Fangzi let out a sigh of relief. I pushed the car door open and pointed to the rear-view mirror: "Miss Shizao, did you see something just now?"

Fang Lie shook her head, shaking her head: "No...no." Of course, I was not satisfied with Fangzi's answer like this, and, at that moment, I thought that the matter had something to do with the mirror again! Zhang Qiang and Bai Su left, leaving behind the mirror.Bai Su and I were driving separately, and we met in the middle of the road. She couldn't talk to me, she pointed to the mirror, and made gestures to me that I thought I hadn't answered yet.But now, Yoshiko looked in the rear-view mirror with an expression of extreme horror. I said again: "You must have seen something, tell me, what exactly did you see?"

Yoshiko looked at me, bewildered.I smiled wryly, and slowed down my tone: "If you see something in the mirror that you shouldn't see, please tell me." Fangzi still shook her head: "I really... didn't see..." I immediately said: "If you didn't see anything, then why did you look so terrified just now?" Fangzi took a breath: "I didn't lie to you, really, I didn't lie to you, it must be my eyesight, I didn't see—" When she said this, I was angry and funny, and couldn't help interrupting her: "You said you didn't see anything, and you said you were dazzled. Isn't that contradictory?"

Fangzi's reaction to my words was very strange, she murmured: "Really, I don't know, but I really didn't lie to you." I was thinking in my heart: This Japanese girl may be a little mentally abnormal. What she told me about the matter between her brother and that chess player, I don't know if it is true or not. As Fangzi said, she backed away. I noticed that while she was backing away, she kept looking at the rear-view mirror of the car. While looking at it, she showed a comforting expression. It was obviously the first time something surprised her suddenly. , never reappeared in the mirror.

I was so angry that I didn't get into the car again until she turned around. While driving, I couldn't help but pay attention to the rearview mirror. There was nothing weird in the mirror. I thought to myself that the mirror is indeed a very strange thing.There are thousands of imaginations about mirrors. Some imagine that people enter the mirror and never come out again. Common questions about mirrors are already quite advanced physics, for example: what is the minimum length of a mirror that allows the person looking into the mirror to see his whole body?Another example is why the left and right of the reflection in the mirror are opposite to the real object, but the up and down are the same, and so on.

After much deliberation, what exactly does Bai Su's gesture mean? I drove back to the house, opened the door and went in, but Bai Su hadn't come back, the note I wrote was still in the original place, I walked straight forward, kicked a chair heavily on the ground in anger, walked on Stairs, suddenly remembered that there is another telephone in the study with a telephone recording device.Usually rarely used.Bai Su has been away for so long for no reason, so he would think of using that phone. I rushed into the study, opened the drawer, and pressed a button on the telephone recording device. Within five minutes, I heard Bai Su's voice, and couldn't help but hit myself hard on the head. Bai Su's words stunned me for a while.There were two paragraphs in the message, and each paragraph was only a few sentences long. It was obvious that she was in a hurry when she called. Bai Su's first words were: "I'm at the airport, with Zhang Qiang, and I'm about to board the plane to Tokyo." What are Bai Su and Zhang Qiang doing in Tokyo?It's really confusing, Bai Su can walk away casually, Zhang Qiang has many patients in the hospital, once he walks away, who will take care of his patients?Like Fangzi, who came all the way, but because Zhang Qiang was not there, she couldn't even see her brother who wanted to see her.Doctors need to be responsible to patients, Zhang Qiang's behavior is irresponsible.When I first met him, I didn't have a very good impression of him, which seems to make sense. Bai Su's second message, on the tape recorder, has the "carat" sound of the computer-controlled mechanism of the international direct dial telephone. It is she calling from Japan, and it is also very simple: "Zhang Qiang and I have arrived in Japan. We I am investigating a rather weird matter, if you are interested, you can come, I live in the Keio Hotel, 1930." Neither of the two messages mentioned what she meant by the gesture she made to me.I immediately picked up the phone.Before dialing the number, I thought about it, should I go to Japan, or not? Bai Su said that she and Zhang Qiang were "investigating a weird thing", which should have been my "patent", I thought it would be better for me to wait until their investigation had some results, and then I would start. But after dialing the number, I changed my mind again: let's go quickly.So as not to be here, itching and unbearable, I don't know what they are doing. I dialed the phone and told the hotel operator the room number, but no one listened. After a while, the operator's voice came: "Sorry, the guest is not in the room." I said: "This is a direct long-distance call. Please do two things for me. The first one is to leave a message for the resident of room 1930. I will come to Japan. The second one is to check for me. After checking, what room is a resident named Zhang Qiang living in." The operator agreed, and after waiting for a while, the operator, whose voice sounded very sweet, suddenly became very surprised: "Mr. Zhang Qiang, is that him?" I was surprised: "Yes, it's with Bai Su from No. 1930." The operator was panting involuntarily: "Mr. Zhang Qiang, that Mr. Zhang Qiang, he... fell from a building... committed suicide." I froze for a moment, thinking I had heard wrong.How could Zhang Qiang go to Japan to commit suicide!But when I asked again, the operator's voice was still very strange, but it was much clearer. Zhang Qiang did fall to his death. Of course I wanted to ask for the details, but the operator couldn't tell the reason. He just kept saying, "It's terrible. I fell from the nineteenth floor. Many people went to see it, but I didn't dare to." I said: "Please be more careful, the windows of the big hotel are all sealed, how could I fall?" The operator's tone was a bit exaggerated: "He broke the glass on the window and jumped down!" I wanted to ask again, but the operator couldn't tell me why. I put down the phone, and for a moment I really didn't know what to think. I thought of Liang Ruoshui first.How would this beautiful female doctor react when she heard the news of her close boyfriend's death in such a bizarre way? I thought of Bai Su again, I believe in Bai Su's ability, but if Zhang Qiang shuts himself in the room, breaks the window, and jumps out of the window, there is nothing Bai Su can do. Instead, the last thing I thought of was, why did Zhang Qiang commit suicide? I picked up the phone again, wanting to inform Liang Ruoshui of the unfortunate news, but I only dialed a few numbers before putting it down. No one wants to bring this kind of unfortunate news to others, let her know it slowly. So, what should I do?The answer could not be simpler: go to Tokyo. I stood up, at this moment, the phone rang, I picked up the phone, first heard the operator's voice, said it was a long-distance call from Tokyo, and then a man's voice: "Sorry, I'm looking for Mr. Wesley, I am Police Officer Takata of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, we have met before, and Officer Kenichi introduced us to each other." Officer Takata, I can't remember this person.A period ago in Tokyo, I had an extraordinary encounter ("chain") with a police officer named Kenichi, and I may have seen it at that time. I was a little impatient: "What's the matter?" What Officer Takata continued to say over there really left me dumbfounded.He said: "There is a demented woman who claimed to be your wife after murdering a man. We know that Mr. Wei, you have an extraordinary status, so come to verify..." Before he finished speaking, I yelled suddenly: "Wait a minute, speak slowly, what are you talking about?" Japanese people speak very fast, this police officer Takata spoke faster than other Japanese, I asked him to say it again, thinking I had heard it wrong. Officer Gao Tian said it again, I heard it right, it made my nose sweat, and I said again: "This crazy woman, what's her name?" Officer Gao Tian said: "We found her identity certificate, but we don't know her name, how should I pronounce it—" He went on to read a few words, and I was impatient, so I shouted into the phone: "There must be an English pinyin of her name on her certificate, just read it out." Officer Gao Tian said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, her name is... Bai Su." In fact, I already knew that what Officer Gao Tian said was Bai Su.Otherwise, I wouldn't be sweating from the tip of my nose, but when I really confirmed this, I still couldn't help feeling dizzy. This is how the same thing?I never imagined that such a thing would happen.The Japanese police said that Bai Su "killed someone", which is conceivable. Of course, Bai Su would not take the initiative to kill someone, but when attacked, she would defend herself.In terms of Bai Su's martial arts attainments, ordinary thugs, ten or eight, are not her opponents.However, the Japanese police said she was "crazy", what kind of adjective is this? My thoughts were disordered, and I was so anxious that I couldn't speak for a while.Officer Gao Tian couldn't hear my voice, so he said anxiously, "Hey, hello, Mr. Wei──" I calmed down a bit: "Excuse me, Bai Su, where is my wife now?" Officer Gao Tian said: "In the guard ward of the mental hospital, the Abono Mental Hospital." I have never heard of this mental hospital, and my heart is anxious, and I can't help laughing. In the past two days, I don't know what happened, and they have relations with the mental hospital one after another. First, Zhang Qiang and Liang Ruoshui are psychiatrists, and then ──As soon as I thought of Zhang Qiang, I quickly asked again: "The one who went to Japan with Bai Su, there is a friend of mine named Zhang Qiang──" I just got here when I heard Police Officer Takata make a moaning sound, and I was even more startled: "What's wrong?" Officer Gao Tian replied: "This Mr. Zhang Qiang is the deceased who was suspected of murder by Mrs. Zun." When I said "put your mother's shit fart", I almost cursed, but what I actually made was a sound similar to moaning.When I wanted to ask more questions, Officer Takata said hastily: "I'm sorry, I think you have to come once, I can't explain it to you in detail on the phone, and long-distance calls are very expensive. Not too much, I think—” I was really dumbfounded by his words, I was so anxious that I was sweating all over, but he was thinking about the phone bill!I yelled, "What's your phone number? I'll call you." Officer Gao Tian sighed: "Why waste time? Mr. Wei, wouldn't it be better if you came earlier?" I was so anxious that I almost passed out. Really, I have never been so anxious! I can believe that people all over the world are insane, but I never believe that Bai Su will.This is the problem. A person who is not insane is caught in the guard ward of a mental hospital. The situation can be said to be extremely bad. It seemed that I really couldn't understand it on the phone, so I had no choice but to say: "I'll go to the airport right away, and I'll take the earliest one to Tokyo." Officer Gao Tian said: "I will check this flight and wait for you at the airport." I put down the phone, turned around a few times in a mess, and kept muttering Bai Su's name. At this moment, I looked like a deranged person. I rushed out of the study, and as soon as I reached the door, the phone rang again. I rushed back, grabbed it, and heard Jiang Louyue's voice: "Wesley, Dr. Dougal has returned to the United States, and he called me—" I couldn't bear it any longer, and said loudly, "That's none of my business." I was so anxious that I was almost going crazy, and he was bothering me about the doctor.After scolding me, Jiang Louyue also got angry: "He insisted on asking you to go, saying that something happened, and you must go and help solve it." I said repeatedly: "I won't go, let me tell you, something happened to Bai Su in Japan, I have to go immediately!" After I finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Louyue to answer, I forcefully put down the phone and rushed out of the door. At this time, it was about noon, and as soon as I went out the door, the sun shone on me. The sunny day in early summer was the most refreshing, but I could see that the people in front of me seemed to be all black shadows, and the houses seemed to be in the dark. shake. I was taken aback, panting, stretched out my hand and rubbed my eyes, but my eyes felt a stinging pain, it turned out that my face was covered with sweat, and I didn't feel it, this rubbing got all the sweat into my eyes. In my life, I have experienced many strange things, but this time the strange happened to Bai Su.Bai Su was regarded as a "crazy woman", which made me feel at a loss and lost my mind. As I continued to rub my eyes, I walked towards the car. When I got to the side of the car, I felt that I was really not suitable for driving. A taxi happened to pass by. I stopped it, got in the car, and handed a big bill in front of him, saying: : "Take me to the airport as quickly as possible, and give you the money, including the fine for driving violations." The driver was a young man, and he promised loudly that he would really buy time, and he drove forward at once, causing my body to bump backwards and hit the back of the chair. The collision made me sober up a bit. The driver threw a towel at me: "Wipe off my sweat." I wiped my sweat with his towel, and while driving quickly through a red light, he asked me, "What did you do, rob a bank?" I snorted, and the driver said again: "There is no bank nearby, did you kill someone?" I snorted: "I'm going to kill someone soon, if you keep talking." The driver swallowed abruptly, didn't dare to say anything, just concentrated on driving, his driving skills are really good, no matter the red light or green light, he passed by at full speed, when he arrived at the airport, two police motorcycles roared towards him, When I got out of the car, the police came to greet me. I was prepared for this point, and immediately took out the special international police ID that I had always carried with me, and handed it to one of the police officers. The police officer obviously had never seen this type of ID, and his expression was still hesitating. I said, "Go back. Check the identity of the holder of this certificate with your superiors. I have a very important matter, and I can't delay it for half a minute." I really can't be delayed for even half a minute, because if I'm delayed for half a minute, I won't be able to catch that flight.As soon as I entered the cabin, I only took a step, and the door was behind me, closing with a metal friction sound. Several people in the cabin glared at me because I was the last to board the plane, which delayed the plane's departure on time. I sat down and closed my eyes for a while to calm my beating heart back to normal. Then, I asked the stewardess for a Japanese newspaper of the day and flipped through it. There should be news in the newspapers that a hotel guest fell to his death from a high-rise in a famous hotel like this. Sure enough, when I turned to the third page, I saw this news. The news in the newspaper can be regarded as quite detailed, but some bastards speculate, which is completely inconsistent with the facts. The news is as follows: "At about 7 o'clock this morning, a resident of the Keio Hotel in Shinjuku District, Tokyo suddenly broke the glass window from his room on the 19th floor, fell through the window, and landed on the sidewalk beside the hotel. Fortunately, it was not the busy time on the street at that time, and there were not many passers-by, so no passers-by were hurt. The person who fell from the building was quickly identified by the capable personnel of the Metropolitan Police Department. The registered name was Zhang Qiang, and his identity was a doctor. The reason for coming to Japan is unknown. The person who checked in with him was a woman whose registered name was Bai Su, and the occupation column was blank. "After Zhang Qiang fell from the building, the police officers were eager to find the woman named Bai Su who lived with the deceased. But the woman was missing. The police are looking for the reason why the deceased fell from the building based on the intriguing relationship between this pair of men and women. The woman named Bai Su and Zhang Qiang each stayed in a single room. The time they lived together was around 11 o'clock last night. According to the hotel waiter and staff, the two had gone through the check-in procedures but did not enter the room. , at the counter, made an international call, said a few words, and went out immediately. "The police have found the taxi driver who picked them up at that time. The driver's name is Kami Tono. The driver said that the two got on the bus, and the woman spoke fluent Japanese, which sounded like an authentic Kanto accent. If she was not facing her, I must think she is a native. The address they went to was a street in Shibuya District, Tokyo. The driver of Shangyuan said that after they got off the car, they acted very hastily. The man kept talking, but it was a pity that the driver of Shangyuan heard I don't understand what that sentence means. "The driver of Shangyuan felt that the actions of the man and the woman were very strange, so he paid attention and stopped for a while before driving away. This provided the police with valuable clues about the actions of the two men. When our reporter interviewed the driver of Shangyuan, Shangyuan Toto-kun insisted that the woman was beautiful and noble, and she was by no means an ordinary woman. The staff of the art department of this newspaper drew a portrait of this mysterious woman based on Ueno-kun’s description. Readers are asked to judge Ueno-kun’s description.” The work spirit of Japanese newspapers is really admirable. There is a sketch next to the news. The taxi driver named Kami Tono must have had a deep impression on Bai Su, the sketch actually has five or six parts. The news continued to report: "Based on the statement of the Ueno driver, the police saw clues that this man and a woman entered an apartment, and went to that apartment to investigate. There were three residents in the apartment, and they proved that they had seen them. They lived in a room on the third floor. The unit was looking for someone, but the two people who often lived in the unit were not there. Their knocking on the door woke up a neighbor. It was an employee of the planning department of an industrial company. His name was Kawasaku Shinchi. Kawasaku-kun had talked with them , our reporter interviewed He Zuojun. He Zuojun said that he remembered every word of the conversation between him and the man and woman. situation. (He Zuo-kun opens the door and comes out) Kawasaku-kun: "Mr. Tokizao is not in Tokyo, what are you doing?" (The owner of the living unit is called Shi Zao Zhiren, a writer by profession. This Mr. Shi Zao also made news a while ago, involving a famous chess player, and has now entered the mental hospital. Cedar Jiuduan.) (The man doesn't seem to speak Japanese, but the woman is very fluent in Japanese) Woman: "We know that Mr. Shizao is not at home, but where is Mr. Shizao's younger sister? Doesn't she live with Mr. Shizao?" (He Zuo-kun taps his forehead with his hand) Hezuo-kun: "Ah, it's such a bad luck for you to come here, Yoshiko---she is Mr. Shizao's younger sister, and she also has a long trip. According to her, it seems that Mr. Shizao had some accident, and she wants to see him , Fangzi also asked me to take care of it, if there are any important letters, I will collect them on my behalf, but I have to go to work every day, so what can I take care of there." (The man looked very disappointed. He said a word to the woman, but He Zuo-kun couldn't understand. The woman was very calm and replied. Then, the woman spoke to He Zuo-kun again.) Woman: "That's really unfortunate, I'm sorry to disturb you." "According to He Zuojun, the woman spoke with an extremely elegant and noble demeanor, which is similar to the driver's description of Shangyuan. "The woman left after saying this, and He Zuo-kun went back to sleep, but because he was woken up after falling asleep, it was not so easy to fall asleep, and he heard the neighboring room, that is, Shi Zaozhi. There were noises coming from the house, but he couldn't be sure. "What is reported above is the result of the investigation of the activities of the deceased who fell from the building by the police and the reporter of this newspaper. The sketches drawn by the staff of the art department of this newspaper have been seen by people who have been in contact with the women, and they all agree that they are very similar. If found The whereabouts of this woman, please contact Officer Takata of the Metropolitan Police Department, the phone number is..." After reading the news, I was stunned. If I had seen this piece of news earlier, I would have done two things first before coming to Tokyo: find Yoshiko Tokizo and Tokizato. The purpose of Zhang Qiang and Bai Su's actions is obviously not to find someone, but to find the living unit. Later, Hezuo Xinqi "heard a voice coming from the neighboring room in a trance", of course it was Bai Su who went and returned, and entered Zhiren's residence. The question is why did she enter the dwelling that was made? This is really unimaginable: Zhiren was in a mental hospital at the time, but Zhang Qiang, as his attending physician, traveled all the way to Japan, trying to find something in Zhiren's residence! There must be a major reason, otherwise Bai Su would not have followed Zhang Qiang.Bai Su is different from me, her personality is not impulsive, she is thoughtful, what made her rush to Japan so quickly? It was midnight when they entered Zhiren's residence, and Zhang Qiang fell from the building at 7:00 in the morning. What were they doing during this time?Whatever purpose one may have in entering one's house, has it ever been achieved? I don't know how many questions are stuffed in my head, but none of them can figure it out. That kind of situation is really extremely boring. The plane was flying forward at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour, but I just felt that it was too slow, and I was even a little restless, so I had to toss and turn to read the news in the newspaper, and I could recite it quickly. The news in the newspaper said that Bai Su's whereabouts are unknown, but police officer Takata told me that Bai Su was in a mental hospital. From this we can see that after leaving Zhiren's residence, Bai Su and Zhang Qiang might act separately, but why did police officer Takata say that Bai Su Is Su the suspect in the murder of Zhang Qiang? At the end of the flight, as soon as the cabin door opened, I was the first to rush out and explained to the immigration officer that a police officer was waiting for me outside and there was something urgent.The Japanese are very old-fashioned in doing things. Maybe it was my anxious expression that moved them. They were flexible and let me pass immediately. I yelled: "Officer Takata? Which one is Officer Takata?" After only two calls, a middle-aged man with a rather short stature but a vigorous face walked towards me.As soon as I saw this man, I remembered that I had met him several times, and I didn't greet him politely: "I want to meet with Bai Su immediately." Takata took a breath: "Yes, but..." As he spoke, he shook his head, and I said anxiously, "But what?" Gao Tian smiled wryly: "Mrs. Zun's condition is very serious, I think even if you see her, it will be of no use." I was stunned again, "very serious", what does that mean?It means that Bai Su will not recognize me when he sees me.Or too insane to talk to me?I waved my hand: "We'll talk after we see her." Gao Tian had no objection. We walked quickly to the parking station. Gao Tian was driving a small car with a cylinder capacity of less than 1,000 cubic centimeters. He opened the door to let me get in the car and explained: "Mr. Wei , I know that you have unique insights and ability to deal with many weird things, so I insisted on you coming. But my superiors insisted on following the usual procedures. Therefore, my meeting with you is all private time, Just use my little car." I didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation: "I hope you can reach your destination in the shortest possible time." Takata's driving skills are quite good, but the distance from the airport to the hospital is quite long. Fortunately, Takata and I kept talking, otherwise, I really don't know how to get through these two hours. I started the conversation between the two of us, and I said, "I have read the newspaper reports about Zhang Qiang's fall from the building." Gao Tian said with an "ah": "Yes, it is quite detailed in the newspaper. There is also a sketch of Mrs. Zun." I went straight to the point: "How do you say that Bai Su is suspected of murdering Zhang Qiang?" Gao Tian pursed his lips and remained silent for a while before saying, "A conclusion based on the procedures of ordinary criminal cases." I said: "Please don't talk around the corner, is there quite conclusive evidence?" Gao Tian glanced at me with an apologetic expression, then turned back immediately and nodded. I said again, "Please tell me everything that happened." Gao Tian nodded again and again, but he didn't start to speak immediately, he was silent for a while, and then said: "The records in the newspaper missed something. We found out that the residence of the person who made the decree was once stolen. And , In his residence, the fingerprints of the deceased Zhang Qiang and Mrs. Zun were collected, so it is certain that the two of them entered the formerly built residence in search of something." I had already guessed this point, so I immediately said: "There is one thing you may not know, Zhang Qiang is a psychiatrist, Shi Zaozhi is his patient, and he is still being treated in Zhang Qiang's hospital."
