Chapter 42 Section VI

The sun was setting and it was getting dark again.The vehicle involved in the accident fell off a cliff at an S-shaped corner of the two-lane Huanshan Highway and caught fire. Four police cars were gathered at the scene, and under the illumination of their headlights, they began to conduct investigations.The criminal police used ropes to descend to the bottom of the cliff. The car that fell off the cliff was seriously damaged and burned due to gasoline leaking from the fuel tank.The vehicle involved in the accident was the Mercedes-Benz 300SL that the police were looking for. The woman sitting in the driver's seat has passed away.During the fall of the car, it may have collided violently with the steering wheel, covered in blood, and was burned by fire, most likely died on the spot.Needless to say, this woman was Sayoko Ihara.

The criminal police found a bundle of burnt banknotes next to the car. Then, four more charred travel bags containing banknotes were found in the car. Asano, who should be together, can't be found anywhere.The search job has turned into the job of finding Asano. "I'm afraid it was Asano who faked the traffic accident and committed murder to silence the truth." Kamei guessed. Totsugawa Police Department and Miura also have the same question. On the surface, it seems that all the 500 million yuan in cash has been burned, but after careful consideration, it seems that something is wrong.Yes, five bundles of 10 million-yen banknotes were found, and the genuine 10,000-yen banknotes were almost half burnt, which can be proved to be the real banknote bundles.However, the bundle of banknotes in the travel bag was completely burned and turned into carbide, so it was difficult to distinguish whether it was genuine or not.

This guy Asano has not been found yet. The detectives from the Totsugawa Police Department and the Dou Police Station searched all night, but still found nothing.Just after 3:00 in the middle of the night (morning of the next day), alarming news came from the Fufeng Hot Spring Police Station. A man who identified himself as Asano ran to the police station and surrendered.After hearing the news, the Tojinchuan Police Department and others rushed to the Fengfu Hot Spring Police Station. There are more than a dozen hotels lined up on both sides of the road. This is a small hot spring town. When he ran into the police station, he saw Asano sitting on a chair exhausted, covered in mud and blood on his hands.

"Are you Asano?" Miura Police Department called him by name, Asano slowly raised his head, looked at Miura, Totsukawa and Kamei with absent-minded eyes. "It's been too hard. I don't want to run away and hide anymore. I'm tired now. Let's interrogate tomorrow." "Bastard! Do you still want to be good?" Kamei shouted angrily.The other detectives also became angry. "Did you kill Sayoko Ihara?" Totsukawa Police Department asked. Asano let out a long sigh: "Ah! It's a pity. She died of willfulness. The driving skills are not very good at all, but she insists on steering the steering wheel. On the kind of winding road with nine twists and eighteen turns, she still desperately The ground was about to accelerate, and finally I fell off a cliff at a bend and had an accident. Fortunately, I had a quick eye and a quick hand, and I opened the car door and jumped out just before the crash. I have been waiting on the side of the road, hoping that the passing vehicles will help me, but there is no shadow of the vehicle , under the hunger and cold, had to walk here to surrender."

"Where are the 500 million yen bills?" "It's all burnt down. Everything is over. Now I'm penniless. It's the so-called evil that comes around." Asano said with a self-deprecating smile. "You took advantage of your position as a surgeon in a large hospital to find a suitable corpse, then faked a car crash and lured the police into your trap. Are the above crimes true?" Hearing Totsukawa's question, Asano raised his thumb and said with a smile, "As expected of the famous Totsukawa Police Department! You know the beginning, succession, and transition of the incident like the palm of your hand."

"Don't be hypocritical! Not only did you rob a huge sum of money, but you also killed many people in succession. On top of the crime of robbery, you should also be charged with homicide," Kamei said sharply. Asano shrugged and said calmly, "Then you are wrong." "What! Am I wrong?" "I'm just thinking about and making a plan on how to cleverly grab cash. It's a contest of wits. The initial operation to snatch 350 million won was done perfectly, but that idiot from a motorcycle gang violated my plan." He brought a modified pistol on his body and killed the driver and another guard. This has nothing to do with me. The second robbery of 500 million won was exactly the same as the first one. I usually hate blood. Besides, I am in favor of sharing the money back among all the members equally. But Ihara Sayoko was jealous of the money, and did not hesitate to poison the other four people. Afterwards, I severely reprimanded her for her self-assessment."

"Three security guards were killed at the Chobu Pachinko shop. How do you explain this bloody incident?" "That's because my subordinates didn't follow my plan. If I were on the scene, I would never have done such a dangerous thing." Asano spoke eloquently. "That is to say, you only admitted that you participated in the robbery of 350 million yen and 500 million yen. The murders were done by Tsujimura and Ihara Sayoko." "exactly." "Except for you, all the other members are dead. The dead will not speak again, and you will be the sole owner of all the stolen money."

"500 million won in cash? Didn't you see it all burnt?" Asano shrugged, putting on a helpless look.
