Chapter 5 fourth quarter

The Totsukawa Police Department looked up from the notebook, only to feel the blood rushing up, and the face was flushed.The robbery of 350 million yuan that occurred on April 4 six months ago is still vivid in my mind. At less than nine o'clock that morning, a cash transport van heading to the Nakano branch of Bank M was attacked on the road. The thieves shot and killed the driver and his assistant, and took away 350 million yen in cash. After the incident, the Nakano Police Station immediately set up an investigation headquarters.The police officers headed by the Totsugawa Police Department started the search.

But there was still no clue to solve the case. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. The Totsukawa Police Department and his colleagues also wondered whether the two bomb explosions that occurred in Shinjuku at the same time on April 4 were related to the 350 million robbery incident?But can't find evidence. In this way, the case entered a maze and could not solve the deadlock. "Have you visited Tangjia Island Villa?" Totsukawa asked Irie. Irie turned his attention to his subordinate Arai Criminal Section Chief.Arai is a young police officer who is only thirty-five years old.

"I've seen it. It's a two-story wooden building with an area of ​​100 ping and a construction area of ​​50 ping. Investigations have confirmed that it was a man named Takada Hiroshi who paid 45 million yen for it three months ago. According to the real estate company acting as an intermediary, the payment will be paid in cash in one lump sum.” "I'll trouble you to be a guide to take a look later." Totsukawa said in a pleading tone. This time it was Irie's turn to ask Totsukawa and Honda: "How is Tokyo? How is the apartment in Sakurajomizu, Setagaya District?"

"Just now we have notified our criminal police to investigate." Honda replied. At this time, the Nishimoto detective called the Shimoda Police Station. "I'm in the apartment in question right now. A man named Hiroshi Takata did live in Room 703. But according to the administrator, this person has moved out and is currently remodeling the room." "What?! Room modification?" "Yes. To attract the next renter, repaint the walls of the room." "So, have all Takata's luggage been moved?" "Yes." Nishimoto replied. "Have you heard anything about the man Takata?"

"There is very little communication with the neighbors. Even the administrator only spoke to him two or three times." "It seems that he doesn't want other people to know about his situation." Totsukawa concluded. The Totsukawa Police Department put down the phone and said to Irie: "I hope that the other five people mentioned in the notebook will not know that Takata has died." "I understand. The most important thing is not to leak the news to the media. I will immediately contact the Metropolitan Police Department." Irie said. "However, it is impossible for Takata to show up at Tangjiadao Villa again. Sooner or later, it will arouse the suspicion of the other five people." Arai Police Department said worriedly.

The Totsukawa Police Department replied with a smile: "You are right. Although according to the diary records, Takata has severed ties with those five people, it cannot be ruled out that those five people will call Takata. If the person is always absent, it must make them feel Strange. It seems that it is necessary to make a disguise and pretend to be Takata to stay in the villa." "Among our personnel, who is like Takata?" Honda asked. "Although Detective Kamei doesn't look much like him, he is very similar to Takata in terms of stature and age." "Oh, is it Kamei?"

"Yes. I'll call him at once." The Totsugawa Police Department finished speaking, picked up the phone, and contacted the other party. Kamei detective arrived soon.Then ask the Arai Police Department as a guide, and the group set off for Tangjia Island by car. The reconnaissance vehicle entered the inland from Shimoda, and then passed through the Basara Cape, and then arrived in Matsuzaki. "I came to Izu a long time ago. The road now is much easier than it was then!" Kamei said with emotion.In the past, the car had to climb the mountain road with difficulty, but now there is a brand-new tunnel running through it, and the car runs extremely smoothly.

As soon as we arrived in Matsuzaki, the coastline appeared.As soon as the car left Matsuzaki Town, Arai stopped and said to everyone, "Hey, that's where the Porsche fell off the cliff." "Probably on the way to the Tangjia Island villa?" "It should be. Because it is night, the car may be driving too fast, causing an accident." Arai replied. The car moved forward along the coastal road again.After passing a small fishing port, Tangjia Island is in front. Hotels and restaurants are built side by side along the road, as well as trestles for cruise ship passengers to get on and off.Today, due to the strong wind and strong waves, there is a notice board on the pier to suspend sailing.

The scenery of Izu is like this, the foot of the mountain extends to the sea, and there are villa-style houses scattered on the halfway up the mountain facing the sea. One of them is Takata's apartment. The Totsukawa Police Department and others parked the car in a nearby hotel and walked to Takada's villa.There is no nameplate at the door, indicating that Takata hopes to live here quietly without anyone noticing. This is a brand new modular house.After entering the house, the still packed luggage was placed in the living room on the first floor. A telephone is also installed.As soon as Totsukawa picked up the receiver, he immediately connected the phone.

Running up to the second floor, Sanshiro Island and Turtle Island stand in front of you, and the waves of the distant sea are shining with white light. "After retirement, it would be nice to live here." Kamei said to Totsukawa in an envious tone. "It is said that there is a famous Yanglan Center near here. Agui has a special liking for Yanglan." "Wow! When will I go and have a look." Kamei said happily. Go down the stairs and unpack the luggage, which contains books, tableware, cushions, shirts and pants, etc. A western style wardrobe is already placed in the room.

There are suits, coats, and white shirts hanging inside.Totsukawa took out a suit and shirt for Kamei to try on. "I feel a little fat recently, but Takata's shirt and suit suit me quite well." Kamei said with a smile: "Like a middle-aged man who has started to put on weight." There are several pairs of sunglasses in the wardrobe drawer.Kamei picked a pair and put them on. "Ha! It looks like Takata." Seeing Kamei's attire, the Totsugawa Police Department couldn't help laughing. The Totsugawa Police Department introduced the contents of the notebook to Kamei, and then said: "We must try to find out the identities of these five people, and then arrest them. Before that, we must not let these people know that their leader is dead. This group may contact Takata." "Are you calling?" Kamei said while thinking about it. "Probably so." "What's Takata's voice like?" "It would be good if I knew. However, I can pretend to be the voice of a cold, and maybe it can deceive the other party. The biggest problem now is to figure out their new plan." "Is there nothing in the notebook about this new plan for the money grab?" "I just mentioned places other than the bank as the target of the robbery, and I don't know anything else. The question now is, if five people call to ask about the plan, how should we deal with it?" "Will Takata write the plan somewhere?" "Judging from the condition of the notebook, he has the habit of taking notes. I think it should be written somewhere!" The Totsugawa Police Department also felt the same way.Now it is necessary to find out the plan as soon as possible, so that it is possible to wipe out the other five accomplices. That night, Totsukawa and Kamei lived in the villa on Tangjia Island.Turn on the TV, but there is no news about the crash. This time, no matter what, the media should not know about it, so as not to miss a major event.I also don't want the robbery of 350 million yuan to be played up again by public opinion. The dinner was delivered by the criminal police of Shimoda Police Station.While eating, the phone rang suddenly.Totsukawa and Kamei looked at each other unconsciously, Kamei coughed lightly, and picked up the phone nervously. It turned out that the call was from the Nishimoto detective in Tokyo. "Please continue to investigate Takada Hiroshi." Totsukawa told Nishimoto on the phone. "But we must be careful. If Takata and his gang find out, they will increase their vigilance and stop their activities." "You can rest assured about this. We will proceed with caution. It's just that we can't investigate freely in this way, and it's a little inconvenient." "So, so far, have there been any clues in the investigation?" "It is said that Takata likes to eat eels." "What? What to eat?" "There is an eel restaurant near the apartment. According to the owner, Takada must order two or three times a week for eel rice at a price of 2,000 yen." "I see. So, the staff in the store often have the opportunity to talk to Takata?" "No. It is said that I have never met Gao Tian once." "what happened?" "Takata always orders food by phone. The delivery man left the eel rice at the door of Takata's room. Come back the next day and put 2,000 yen in an empty lunch box." "It seems that Takata tries to avoid meeting others." "That should be the case. Especially as the leader of a criminal group that robbed 350 million yen and killed two people, it is only natural to act cautiously." "And what about the move?" "That was investigated by the Japanese criminal police." After Nishimoto said this, Kusaka's voice followed: "Takata entrusted Aihua Moving Company to help with the move, and we also contacted Aihua Moving Company by phone in advance. Aihua Moving Company sent two staff members to the apartment to meet with Takata .” "In this case, it is necessary to say hello to the staff of the moving company." "Yes. But Takata, wearing a pair of sunglasses, only said what to do, and kept quiet about the rest." "What a very cautious fellow!" "Yes. Takata also uses bank transfers to pay the moving company's moving fees. Always wear sunglasses when you go out, and don't talk to people who live in apartments and people nearby. It is a common opinion that this is a strange Man, some people think that he may be a member of the underworld." Kusaka made such a report to Totsukawa.
