Chapter 10 third quarter

Kamei finished his breakfast, put on the windbreaker of the dead man, put on sunglasses, held a fishing rod, and walked out of the villa calmly. A second newly installed telephone, dedicated to communicating with Totsugawa in Tokyo, was hidden in a Western-style wardrobe.The other is the telephone originally installed by the dead man, which has been converted into a recording telephone. Kamei walked down the stone steps to the shore. He subconsciously felt that someone might be watching him, and if someone found out that he was a fake, the five men and women would not contact him.Therefore, he did not dare to take off the sunglasses on his eyes and the sun hat on his head even for a minute.

Running to the tip of a small headland, Kamei sat down and let down his fishing line in the middle of the sea. Fishing has always been Kamei's hobby, but this time it is clear that fishing is not about fish.He was waiting patiently, hoping that one of the five men and women would call. It was almost noon, and Kamei returned to the villa.The first thing to do was to check the answering machine, unfortunately there was no sign of anyone calling. In the afternoon, Kamei went fishing at the beach again.As of today, I have been fishing at the beach for three consecutive days, but there is no response.

The autumn sun is quite dazzling. Although I wear a sun hat with a deep brim, after a few days, my face is still tanned and painful. In Tokyo, Totsukawa continued to work on the investigation of the impostor Hiroshi Takada, but to no avail. Kamei put down his fishing rod and lit a cigarette.A cruise ship slowly passed by. (Aren’t those five people going to have any further contact with Hiroshi Takata? According to what Takata recorded in his notebook, he said goodbye to these five people after he made a plan for the second robbery. If it is true If this is the case, no matter what tricks these five people play, Takata will probably not intervene again.)

In the past few days, Kamei went fishing at the beach for a while, and drove around in a white Porsche for a while. On the surface, he seemed relaxed and freehand, but in fact he felt very empty. While doing these boring things, maybe those five guys were following Takada Hiroshi's plan and completed the second robbery in an instant. With his mouth dry, he picked up the thermos filled with coffee that he carried with him and drank it slowly. The sun was about to set, and only two unknown small fish were caught.Kamei threw the fish into the fish basket, walked up the slope with heavy steps, and returned to the villa.

As soon as he walked into the house, he first turned on the playback switch of the recording phone, and then sat on the sofa. It has been three days and nothing has been heard.Not even a single wrong call, has the call been cancelled? "Is today's work in vain?" While thinking this way, the phone rang suddenly.Kamei pricked up his ears and fixed his eyes on the answering telephone. "Hello." It was the voice of a young woman. "Hey, hello, Takata is out for business, please leave a message after the signal sounds. In order to get a reply as soon as possible, please say your name and phone number." This is Kamei's pre-recorded voice.

As long as the other party leaves a few words, they can grasp the clues of the investigation. However, after the signal sounded, there was no sound, only the tape continued to rotate silently. Kamei returned the tape to its starting position and played it again.The situation is still the same, no human voice can be heard after the signal is played. It seemed that the other party hung up the phone after listening to Kamei's recorded words. Kamei felt that the tense nerves were about to rupture. Applying it to the situation of fishing, it is like watching the buoy vibrate violently up and down, but finally being caught by the nervousness of the fish escaping.

At seven o'clock in the evening, another telephone rang as usual, and it was a contact number from Totsukawa in Tokyo. Kamei told me that a woman once spoke to the dictating machine. "But after hearing my recording, I hung up the phone without leaving a single phrase." "It doesn't matter, she will still call." Totsukawa Police Department hurriedly comforted Kamei. "It would be fine if that's the case. But I'm worried that my voice is too different from that of the dead fake Takata. If the other party detects it, the chance of calling the second time is very small."

Kamei said worriedly. "Actually, we have recorded your phone call, and asked the manager of the apartment where Takata lived and the neighbors to listen to it. They all said that the voice is very similar to Takata. So, please rest assured." Totsukawa said the police department. "is this real?" "Of course it's true. The other party hung up the phone because you were not at home." "If that's the case, there's hope." "So, at least you have to be patient and wait for the other party's second contact. Now, the key to solving the case is on you." Ten Jinchuan encouraged.

"Tomorrow, should we continue fishing?" "Yes, continue fishing. Because of the dictating machine, it is more beneficial for us to force the other party to report their name." "Then let's do this. The problem now is that I don't know the names of those five people at all. In case of a direct call, I'm afraid it will be difficult to respond skillfully." Kamei honestly expressed his worries. Not only do they not know their names, but they also have no idea where they live now, and they don't even know their phone numbers.So once the other party proposes "call the old place", they will be helpless and extremely embarrassed.

Therefore, the ideal situation should be to let the other party leave his (her) name and phone number on the tape of the dictating telephone.In other words, if you continue to go fishing tomorrow, it is the best policy to turn on the switch of the answering machine. The next day, when I woke up in the morning, it was raining.Looking at the intense rain outside the window, Kamei could only smile wryly.As a result, the plan to go fishing fell through.Now that the person is at home, it seems unnatural to turn the switch on the answering machine to broadcast the news that he is not at home and ask the other party to leave a message for recording.

Turning on the TV, burying himself deeply in the sofa, Kamei lit a cigarette.Can't do anything, just wait quietly. If there is no need to wait anxiously, this way of life is ideal for Kamei.After retirement, no matter what, I have to find a way to buy a villa by the sea. It doesn’t matter if the area is small. I go fishing every day and take a carefree walk on the beach; or lie on the sofa and watch TV on a rainy day. Looking through the glass window to see the smog tearing away, the sea and sky are the same scenery, it is enough to wish. Scandals in show business are being played out on the television screens.A beautiful actress who just got married and heard that she will soon have a new lover, the entertainment news reporters surrounded the actress, asking the truth. "How leisurely!" Kamei thought, when he reached the retirement age and no longer worked as a policeman, he might gradually become interested in this kind of gossip news. There was no sign of the phone ringing at all. Could it be that the other party was wary after hearing Kamei's voice?If so, no matter how many days you wait, it will be futile.Although Totsukawa mentioned that Kamei's phone voice was very similar to that of the fake Takada Hiroshi, Kamei should not be nervous, but if you can fool the apartment manager, you may not be able to fool those five guys! It was afternoon again. The rain continued unhurriedly, with no sign of stopping.The trestle for yacht passengers to board and disembark was also lightly caged in misty rain.It looks like I won't be able to go out tomorrow. Suddenly, the phone rang.Kamei stared at the phone.Yes, it was indeed the original telephone that was ringing. Kamei quickly picked up the receiver.At the same time, the tape recorder started automatically. "Hey, hello!" Kamei called out. "Is it Takada-kun?" "Yes." Kamei pretended to be arrogant on purpose.Because in the notebook, the counterfeit Takata mentioned contemptuously that these five people were mindless bastards, so when they came into direct contact with them, they would probably put on an arrogant posture. "I finally found you today. You didn't seem to be at home yesterday." The other party said. "Didn't I install a dictating machine? You just leave a message." "But I want to be careful," said the woman on the phone. "What's your heart?" "If you don't mind, I was just about to ask: Is there news that you are dead?" Hearing what the other party said, Kamei was shocked, but quickly pretended to be angry: "Bastard! Don't talk nonsense! Are you going to curse me to death?" "So I said you don't mind. In fact, after hearing this gossip, we have done an investigation and confirmed that you are not a fake, so I made this call." "What! Observation?" "Yes, we have made some observations on you who moved into the villa. On the one hand, we are worried whether the police will impersonate you? On the other hand, even if it is the real you, you may betray us because of protecting yourself .” "Don't do such stupid things. First, my fate with you is over. Didn't I tell you not to call? Besides, the money has already been properly allocated. For me, from now on it will be Fishing easily every day, enjoying the fun of life." "Actually, our fate is not over yet!" "why?" "Although we only cooperated once, it was a life-and-death relationship! You can't completely stay out of the matter, stand by and watch us make a fool of yourself. Besides, you, as the first criminal in the robbery of 350 million yuan, are also the first criminal in a murder case. , will be arrested by the police immediately.” "If you do that, you'll be arrested as well. Wouldn't I expose you to the police?" "That's okay. We don't even have a penny now, unlike you, who have a huge sum of money and a villa, and are ready to enjoy the rest of his life. In short, the price you paid is much higher than ours." "Isn't this threatening me?" Kamei pretended to be furious. In the process of dealing with these five people on the phone, it is very important to imitate the posture and charm of the original fake Takata.For Kamei, on the one hand, the fear of pretending not to be seen through by the other party always hits his heart; on the other hand, he feels complacent that the other party seems to have fallen into a trap.Two completely different feelings collided with each other in my heart. "How can it be called a threat? We just want to continue to ask you, who was once the leader." The woman said modestly. "Do the other members feel the same way?" "Of course, it is the unanimous thought of all our staff." "So, what else do you want to know?" Detective Kamei asked. "It's about the plan you made. There are various problems in implementing it. So I would like to ask you to explain it in detail." "If this is the case, you might as well invite everyone to come to my villa to discuss in detail. Anyway, I also want to meet other partners. What do you think? If you come tomorrow night, I will invite you to dinner." Kamei sends out a lure signal.The woman "puchi" laughed on the other end of the phone. "You're going to call us together and sell us out to the police?" "Don't talk nonsense! I have no reason to do this. If you are arrested, I can't run away." Kamei said in a firm tone. "Perhaps you have attracted the attention of the police because of your carelessness. I heard that there are people like criminal police wandering around your villa." "Don't think about it too much. The police have no reason to suspect me." "We'd better be cautious, so we decided to ask you for advice over the phone." "What do you want to know?" Kamei asked. "It's the plan you made. Is there really hundreds of millions of dollars hidden in that store?" Women may wish to ask this question.Needless to say, Kamei didn't even know where the store was. Kamei carefully chose the words to answer: "Of course it is." "According to your knowledge, the former staff member of the tax bureau accused the old Yue of this store of hiding income. Is this true?" "Oh, of course it's true. That's what the experts say." "We sent Ah Tie to investigate, and we heard that the owner of this store did make false accounts to evade taxes and hide a large amount of income; moreover, I heard that he showed no confidence in the bank. The current problem Yes, does he often hold as much money as 500 million or 600 million?" "That's what the tax office clerk said." "Mr. KAWAKITA made an estimate of the profit of this store." "Oh?" "There are 400 pachinko tables and 20 employees. Then, consider how many customers there are every day and what is the average usage rate. Mr. KAWAKITA has worked as a company manager, so he has an understanding of this." "So, did the estimates come to fruition?" "Well, first investigate how much tax this pachinko shop paid last year. Obviously, there is a big discrepancy between the tax it pays and the huge profits it makes. According to Mr. In fact, according to the information disclosed in the newspaper, operating pachinko is the most profitable industry in recent years.” "So, what I said is not wrong!" "The question now is how much money will the owner of that shop keep? If the owner is addicted to womanizing and spends all his money on women, then even if the robbery is carried out according to the plan, in the end the bamboo basket may be empty." "You have to believe what I say." Kamei said in a persuasive tone. "But, can you trust everything that the former tax bureau clerk said?" "Of course you can believe it. You know, he is an expert in this field, and what he said is guaranteed not to be wrong." "So the owner of that pachinko shop really hides gold and jewelry inside?" "Yes. That's why I have planned this heist for you." "The staff member of the tax bureau asked for 20 million yuan after the completion of the work. Do you have to agree to his request? Ah Tie said that he was just providing some information, and giving him 1 million won would be enough." "This amount of money cannot be saved. He resigned from the tax office for money!" Kamei tried his best to match the tone of the other party for the conversation. "Okay, I will discuss this matter with you again." "How are you all?" Kamei took the opportunity to test. "It's not bad, but the money has run out, and they all look very anxious." The woman said. "It's hard to get a lot of money, but you spend it without a plan, and now you have nothing, and it's your own fault." "But you took nearly half the money. Everyone's very upset about it!" "This time it's up to you to show your talents. If you succeed, everyone will get a lot of money. But don't mistake the target! Remember which pachinko shop it was?" Kamei tried to trick the other party into blurting out the name of the store by using clichés.However, the woman said: "Of course I will keep it in my heart." "Just to be on the safe side, read the name of the store for me again. You know, there are many stores with similar names!" After Kamei said this, the woman on the other end of the phone laughed softly: "Where is that? .Didn't you say that it is the only store name that is very rare in Japan? We will never make a mistake." "That's true." "Hey! Are you really Takada-kun?" "Of course it's true. Recently, I've been fishing at the beach every day, and my mind may have become dull." "That's good. Let's go back to the topic just now." "What topic?" "It's that shop. Is it true that there are hundreds of millions of money hidden? Otherwise, I risked my life and broke in, and ended up with nothing. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to fetch water from the bamboo basket? So, we want to see you again. Ex-tax office staff, for further confirmation." "About that guy?" After making quick calculations in his mind, Kamei asked the other party, "Don't you guys know where he lives?" "We have no reason to know. You brought him here suddenly, you led him away in a hurry, and you met in a club. We don't know his name." "Don't you really know his name? I should have introduced it to you." "Do you mean the name KOBAYASHI? Who knows if it's his real name or a fake name? Hey, is that his real name?" the woman asked on the phone. "Well, it should be the real name." "If that's the case, bring him to meet again. Did he miss the pachinko shop when he did the tax investigation? The most important question is: Is it really a gold nugget worth hundreds of millions? , jewelry, and cash hidden in the store? We want to know more about the actual evidence and where it is hidden in the store.” The woman said stubbornly on the other end of the phone. This gang killed two people while robbing cash six months ago. If they were arrested this time, they would either be sentenced to death or serve life without parole; so they all became nervous and felt that they must not fail. "That's no problem." Kamei replied loudly on purpose to encourage the other party's courage. "You think there is no problem, but we are worried. You know, you will not participate in this robbery!" "That being said, if you are arrested by the police, my life will be difficult. Therefore, I am making this plan with a serious attitude, and I dare not neglect the slightest bit! It is precisely because I have mastered the I dare to recommend it to you because of the conclusive evidence of hundreds of millions of yuan in assets hidden in the store. If you still have doubts, I am willing to meet with you again to explain the plan further. The meeting place and time are up to you, what do you think?" Kamei answered with confidence. "this one……" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be thinking about it, and then said, "I'll discuss it with you, and I'll call you again." "fair enough." "Won't this phone be tapped?" the woman suddenly asked worriedly. "Where did this idea come from?" "I heard that the recent Japanese police are more and more using wiretapping." After saying this, the woman hung up the phone with a snap. Kamei immediately used another phone to contact Totsukawa in Tokyo. "Finally got in touch with them, ah—" Kamei took a deep breath, and then briefly introduced the content of the call with that woman. "So, the next target of the attack is the pachinko shop?" Totsukawa Police Department said in surprise. "It is said that the profits were concealed, and then gold nuggets, jewelry, cash, etc. were hidden somewhere in the store. This was a robbery plan based on information provided by a former tax office employee who had investigated the business of the store." "That means they're collecting the money instead of the tax office." "Yes, it's a good plan. The store has understated its income for many years, and the amount of tax evasion must be huge." "The question is which pachinko shop?" "Also, I don't know the specific date of action. However, since that woman called me specially, I'm afraid the date of action is not far away." "Yes. We will carefully listen to the recording of the call between Kamei-kun and that woman, and then conduct a detailed discussion." "Next time if there is another call, I hope you can find out where the call is coming from. It is unwise to arrest only one person. It is better to follow up cleverly, or catch them all at once." Kamei put forward the above suggestions. "Okay. I will request assistance from the Telecommunications Bureau." Totsukawa Police Department replied. The Totsukawa Police Department immediately notified his men to retrieve the tape of the conversation between Kamei and that woman.The most urgent task now is to find out the true identity of the pachinko shop and the former tax office employee that the woman mentioned.
