Chapter 38 second quarter

"Oh! Is it true?" Kamei looked at Totsukawa suspiciously. The Totsugawa Police Department slowly drank the coffee left in the cup, and said instructively to Kamei: "Maybe consider what this woman has done? Didn't she poison four of her accomplices on the yacht? " "That's right, he kills people without blinking an eye, and his viciousness is no less than that of men!" Kamei responded. "In addition to viciousness, from her performance, we should also be able to infer some other situations. For example, she can handle cyanate proficiently, fully control the lethal dose of the human body, and can skillfully mix it in the food to make the other party die without a trace. Drink it without warning. People with such ability and courage must be limited to a certain range."

"Oh! You mean: This woman is a nurse?!" Kamei said suddenly. "Yes! It's either a nurse or a doctor." The Totsukawa Police Department said with confidence. "Assuming that A is a doctor, the combination with a nurse can be said to be the best partner made in heaven." Kamei began to speak in a relaxed tone. "The opponent finally showed his flaws. Now that the direction is clear, the day to fight the criminals to the death is coming soon." The Tojinchuan Police Department said in a firm tone. As soon as the two returned to the search and investigation headquarters, they discussed with Minister Sankami about solving the case.

After listening to Totsukawa's analysis, the criminal minister Mikami, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly became energetic. "However, Totsukawa-kun, when it comes to university hospitals, there are quite a few. Is it limited to Tokyo?" Mikami Criminal Minister asked. "That's not a problem. Around October 18th, A put a body about the same age as Hiroshi Takada into a Porsche sports car, and then drove the car to the west coast of Izu and let the car fall off a cliff. That is to say, A stole the body." "Oh! Understood. Just need to investigate the University Hospital where a body disappeared around October 18th."

"Yes, exactly." "Okay! Immediately investigate." Minister Mikami said in an excited voice. Minister Mikami contacted the Department of Health and asked them to assist in the investigation.On the next day, Minister Mikami said to Totsukawa with a disappointed expression: "There may be something wrong with your reasoning. I have asked the Department of Health to investigate, and there is no university hospital where the body disappeared around October 18." "Will it involve reputation issues, intentionally concealing it?" Seeing Totsukawa's skeptical attitude, Minister Mikami's face was a little ugly: "I have repeatedly told you, and you should be able to trust the investigation results of the Department of Health. Bar."

Hearing what Minister Mikami said, Totsukawa was puzzled.But Totsukawa still believed in his reasoning. The Totsukawa Police Department lowered its head and considered for a moment, then picked up the phone book, found the phone number of the crematorium, and called several crematoria in Tokyo one by one. The questions asked were all the same: "Are there any suspicious corpses cremated around October 18?" When asked about the third Mitaka crematorium, he finally got the answer Totsukawa wanted to hear. Together with Kamei, the Totsugawa Police Department rushed to Mitaka immediately.

This is a crematorium built deep in the woods.Today, the towering chimneys are filled with smoke again.The Totsugawa Police Department and the others met with the field chief named Wakabayashi. "The exact date is October 19th. An unknown so-called unnamed corpse was sent. According to the records on the documents shipped with the corpse, the deceased was 41 or 2 years old and 170 years old. 10 centimeters long and weighs 65 kilograms. However, the actual corpse, no matter how you look at it, should be about 60 years old, and his height is only about 156.7 centimeters. We find it very strange. But because it is an unnamed corpse, and the cause of death is clear, so it counts by throwing him into the furnace and incinerating him."

Director Ruolin gave a briefing. "So, where did this corpse come from?" Totsukawa Police Department asked. "The affiliated hospital of S University in Shinjuku. It is said that he was hit by a car, but the identity is unknown, so he was sent to the crematorium immediately." Wakabayashi replied. "Oh! That's how it is." The Totsugawa Police Department looked at Kamei with satisfaction. "A body about 40 years old, 170 centimeters tall, and 65 kilograms in weight is probably the corpse of Hiroshi Takada in the car that fell off the cliff in Nishiizu. It seems that the suspect played a trick of replacing the prince with a civet cat. "Kamei speculated.

"Probably, the corpse of a homeless man who had entered the early stage of old age was found somewhere, so he was used as a substitute and sent to the crematorium for incineration." "How about it? Let's go to the Affiliated Hospital of S University." "Of course, let's go now." Tojinchuan Police Department said excitedly. The two left Mitaka in a police car and headed towards Shinjuku. S University Hospital is located at a 20-minute walk from Shinjuku Station on the National Railway. The six-story heavy building, upon entering the interior, found that most of the plaster on the ceiling had fallen off, and the elevator was also old-fashioned, making squeaky noises.

The Totsukawa Police Department took this old-fashioned elevator to the dean's room on the sixth floor.The dean greeted Totsukawa with a perplexed look, and said puzzledly, "It's hard to imagine that our colleagues will cause trouble for the police?" The Totsukawa Police Department did not explain, but only asked to see the roster of doctors and nurses in the hospital. The dean became more and more surprised, and asked nervously, "Who in the hospital is the problem?" "To be honest, we don't know either." Totsukawa Police Department replied. "Oh! You don't know either?"

"Yes. Not really sure." "However, our hospital is a general hospital, and the number of doctors alone is nearly a hundred." "Oh, it's really a big hospital. However, the doctor I'm looking for is about forty-two or three years old, about 170 centimeters tall, and not fat or thin." "There are quite a few doctors like this! They are just over forty years old, and they are the backbone of the hospital. This group of people has the largest number." "Actually, I brought a simulated portrait, and now I ask the dean to look at it."

After the Totsugawa Police Department finished speaking, they took out the simulated portrait of Takada Hiroshi from the briefcase and showed it to the chief.Of course, this is not a portrait of the real Takata, but a simulated portrait based on the testimony of the manager of the apartment where the counterfeit Takata lived. The dean stared at the portrait for a long time, thoughtful. "Does the dean have any impression of this person?" Tojinchuan Police Department asked without losing the opportunity. "I'm sorry, please wait a moment." After the dean said, he called the chief of surgery through the walkie-talkie. As soon as the fifty-two or three-year-old chief of surgery came in, the dean handed him the simulated portrait, and asked impatiently, "Does this look very similar to Asano-kun from your department?" "Yes, very similar. What's wrong with Asano-kun?" The chief of surgery looked at the director, then at Totsukawa and Kamei. "This is Asano, did you come to work today?" Totsukawa Police Department asked the director of surgery. "No, today he rests." "What kind of person is Asano?" Totsukawa Police Department continued to ask. The dean opened the staff list and asked Totsukawa to watch.Sure enough, under the column of surgery, the name of the fourth doctor was impressively written "Siro Asano". "Is the address printed here correct?" Totsugawa Police Department asked. "I don't know. The registration date is January 1 this year." The director of surgery replied. Kamei hurriedly took out his notebook and wrote down Asano's home address and phone number. Kamei walked out of the dean's office, but came back soon, and whispered to Totsukawa, "The phone doesn't work. Most likely they have moved away." "Recently, do you feel that Mr. Asano is a little unusual?" The Totsugawa Police Department asked the chief of surgery again. The director of surgery thought about it for a while and said, "During this period, the absence from work has been relatively serious, and I have begun to pay attention to this problem." "Does Dr. Asano have a particularly good nurse?" "Extremely good?" "Yes. Mr. Asano is not married yet, is he?" "Divorced and currently single." "If that's the case, it's not surprising that there are particularly good nurses," Kamei interjected. The director of surgery said that he didn't know the situation in this regard, so he might as well ask the head nurse. Totsugawa Police Department and Kamei ran to the nurse center to meet the head nurse. It was a head nurse in her forties with a sophisticated face. When she heard Totsukawa inquire about Dr. Asano's relationship with the opposite sex, she grinned: "Everyone knows that there is a female nurse in the surgery department who has a hot fight with Dr. Asano." "Oh! It's really a nurse." "However, she is no longer working in the hospital. Because her work ability is not strong, she is slow in doing things, and sometimes it affects the work of others, so I advise her to resign on her own initiative. It is rare that she is kind and willing to listen to my opinions. Not long ago Has left the hospital." "Can I ask her your first and last name?" Kamei asked. "Sayako Ihara. Twenty-eight years old." After the head nurse finished speaking, the nurse next to her corrected her words: "Twenty-nine years old." "Is there a picture of her?" Totsukawa Police Department asked. "Well, let's look for it." "I have." The nurse who had just corrected the age took out a few photos from the drawer. These were photos taken by the staff of the surgical department on a trip to the seaside. The nurse took one of the two photos and showed it to Totsukawa: "Hey, this is Mr. Asano and Sayoko Ihara." Asano's appearance, based on the fake Takada Hiroshi's appearance and the mock-up picture, is almost the same. The Totsugawa Police Department kept a close eye on the woman's appearance, thinking: Is it really this woman? Ever since that vicious murder and robbery incident occurred, in Totsukawa's mind, the image of a woman with sharp eyes, chiseled, and a masculine face appeared from time to time.However, the women in the photos, rather, give people a feeling of slenderness and weakness. Kamei was also staring at the photo from the side. "It's really unexpected, she looks slender and beautiful, quite charming!" "Well, she's a big beauty." "The four men who died were all deceived by her." Kamei said with emotion. The Totsugawa Police Department and Kamei inquired about Ihara Sayoko's address before she resigned and her origin, borrowed the photo, and left the hospital.
