Chapter 34 fourth quarter

The four bodies were wrapped in blankets and sent to the hospital for autopsies.After the forensic work was completed, Totsukawa and others entered the cabin again.Place a searchlight at the entrance of the cabin and it becomes very bright inside. The inside of the cabin is converted into a bed for two people; the cabin itself, as long as the dining table is tidied up, becomes a big bed for three people. In addition, there are simple toilets, shower rooms, and a small kitchen in the cabin.But after searching every corner of the cabin, there was no stack of 500 million won banknotes. "The 500 million yen bill is quite large!" Kamei said to Totsukawa while furrowing his brows as the smell in the cabin still persisted.

"A 100 million-yen bill weighs about 13 kilograms, and a 500 million-yen bill weighs 65 kilograms. It takes about five travel bags to carry it in a large wide-bottomed travel bag." Totsugawa Police Department replied. "If you let a woman carry it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch." "That would definitely require a car. Perhaps the woman had prepared the car before the yacht departed from Shisaki Port. During the escape to the sea on the yacht, the woman poisoned four men with cyanic acid in food or drink; after that, she Turn the yacht back to the coast where it was parked, and transfer the 500 million yen banknotes to the car; next, start the engine and let the yacht sail freely towards the open sea. At this time, the woman jumped into the sea and swam back to the parking place. The yacht continued towards the open sea After running out of fuel, the yacht drifted on the sea until it was spotted by the plane of the Coast Guard.”

"Is it conceivable that there is a man next to this woman. This man parks the car at a pre-arranged place and waits." "This is very conceivable." Totsukawa Police Department said. Suddenly, Nishimoto, who was carefully searching the wardrobe in the cabin, made an excited voice: "Come and see this!" He found a folded chart in the closet, quickly took it out and spread it on the table in front of Totsukawa. This is a chart of the Pacific coast from the Kanto region to the Kinki region, with an X marked on the Shizaki Port at the tip of the Chita Peninsula. The sight of the Totsugawa Police Department moved slowly towards the coast of the Kanto region, passing through Ensu Nada, Omaezaki, Suruga Bay, and Izu Peninsula in sequence.

"Ah!" The Totsukawa Police Department couldn't help but yelled. On the east coast of the Izu Peninsula, near the coast near Kawana, Totsukawa found the X sign again. "The car must have been parked here beforehand, right?" Kamei said, leaning over his head and looking at the chart. "Perhaps, as Brother Agui said, that woman's lover drove here to wait for her." "The problem now is, whether the woman is alone or has a man helping her commit the crime, in the end what bothers us the most is that we don't know the woman's name or what she looks like. Assuming the woman is accompanied by a man In other words, we don’t know anything about the man’s situation. Besides, we don’t have any clues about the car that escaped with 500 million yen in cash.” Kamei said regretfully.

"If we start from scratch, it will take a lot of time." Nishimoto said a little discouraged. "No, there are still clues. Let's go to the place with the X mark to see." The Totsugawa Police Department raised its tone, with the meaning of encouraging its subordinates. Before dawn, Totsukawa and Kamei borrowed Nishimoto's police car and drove to the Izu Peninsula.Nishimoto and others stayed in Yokosuka temporarily, waiting for the autopsy results of the four corpses. The car left Yokosuka, arrived at the big ship, then turned onto the national highway and drove west.

"What kind of woman is this?" Kamei asked while driving. "I once gave the audio tape of the conversation between the woman and you to an acoustic expert to listen carefully, and asked him if he could imagine what kind of woman had this voice?" "How did the experts answer?" "Experts estimate that this woman is about 30 years old and tall. Based on the voice quality in the area, it can be inferred that the face is well-defined and her chin protrudes; her vocal cords are similar to those of Europeans." "I wish I had seen her sooner." "That's right. If you can't see him, you'll be in trouble." Totsukawa Police Department echoed.

"No matter what, this is a very powerful woman! She can perfectly realize the plan to rob 500 million yuan with four men without any fear, and then poison her colleagues without any care, and seize 500 million yuan For yourself." "So, Agui, imagine that there is a man behind her." "Yes, it will be very difficult and inconvenient to prepare a yacht at Shizaki Port on the Chita Peninsula and a car on the Izu Peninsula without the assistance of another man." "If your assumption is correct, wouldn't the four people who were killed become tools to be used?"

"If that's the case, that woman's courage and ability are really great." Kamei said with emotion. Driving all the way, discussing all the way, I don't know the whiteness of the East. The car drove through Atami and entered the east coast of the Izu Peninsula.The national road is paved along the coast, and the Ito Line Road extends on its inner side. The car passed Ito and was close to Kawana. "It should be around this area." The Totsukawa Police Department said. "It's unimaginable to stop and wait on the national highway." Kamei said. "Ah, the car might be parked by the seaside."

"Why don't you go down and have a look." Kamei parked the police car at an emergency stop next to the national highway.The two got out of the car and walked to the beach. It can't be seen from the map, but unexpectedly, there are many houses by the sea in this area, and farmhouses are built side by side.Needless to say, since the summer is over, sea bathers have long since disappeared, but even so, this place is still a place full of people's eyes. Will the yacht really dock at such a place and transfer a huge sum of 500 million yen to the car in a grandiose manner?

Totsugawa Police Department and Kamei came to Kawana Police Station, met with the director, introduced the situation, and asked for support. The main investigation is from November 14th to 16th. Have you seen any suspicious cars in this area?Are there any yachts docking?discharge? The director urgently mobilized 15 criminal police officers and police officers, together with Totsukawa and Kamei, to immediately start investigation and interrogation work.There was only a 30-minute break for lunch, and I kept asking until the sun went down.But the result was not as ideal. No witnesses were found who saw the suspicious-looking vehicle, nor did they see the yacht approaching the shore.

The director hosted a dinner for Totsukawa, and said to Totsukawa with relief: "Continue to inquire tomorrow!" The Totsugawa police department lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time, then said as if they had made up their minds: "No, the investigation can be stopped tomorrow." "However, the important car has not been found yet. The truth about the stolen car is unknown, and the suspect's track is even more elusive." "I understand the importance of identifying stolen cars. However, I realized that it is impossible for that woman to unload a huge sum of 500 million yen from the ship here." Totsukawa Police Department said. "But, on the nautical chart left by the suspect, isn't there an X mark on this coast?" "yes." "In that case, why stop the investigation?" "I just called the Yokosuka Police Station. Although their forensic personnel have carefully investigated the cabin of the yacht where the accident occurred, they have not been able to find anyone's fingerprints. This shows that four men were killed and 500 million yuan was taken away. The woman who made the huge sum of money carefully had all her fingerprints removed before leaving the yacht." "This woman is really careful in her work!" "Yes. Isn't it strange that a woman with such a deep heart would leave the marked chart in the cabin wardrobe?" "So, the suspect put it in the closet on purpose?" "We have to think about it." The Totsukawa Police Department told the director.
