Chapter 39 Section five

Yabe took the night train bound for Aomori that day, the "Towada No. 4" train that departed from Ueno at 23:21, and arrived in Sendai at 5:34 the next morning. Yabe arrived in Ueno 30 minutes before driving. The reason why he came so early seems to be due to nervousness and excitement. This is a rare thing for Yabe. After looking at the clock, he smiled wryly, While walking around the station, in order to pass the time. In a week or two, the station will be bustling with impatient skiers, right?However, today the station seems very deserted. Yabe stopped in front of the sales shop. He originally wanted to buy a timetable, but when he was looking at the dazzling array of weekly magazines, he was attracted by one of the weekly magazines and forgot to buy a timetable.

That weekly magazine was not very famous, but the title of "The Truth About Suicide" on the cover attracted Yabe's attention deeply.Yabe picked up the weekly magazine and turned to that page. The headline "Genius Painter Forced to Die for Love" first caught his eye, and it was indeed that incident. However, just that, Yabe would not be so surprised, because it was possible to rewrite the news in the newspaper. However, when he saw the subheading after the big heading, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide in surprise.Because that subtitle is too shocking. "The day before the incident, our reporter had met with Tajima and his wife, so our reporter knew the truth of the incident."

The day before the incident, the Tajima and his wife met other people besides Iseki. This was the first time Yabe heard of it. Could this be true... Yabe thought so, and bought the weekly magazine. As soon as I got in the car, I immediately opened the weekly magazine and read it. That day, I (reporter) went to visit Mariko Tajima at a hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. I went to find out the truth because I heard that the relationship between Tajima and his wife had broken down.Since she ran away from home, coupled with a mournful face, she thought that the relationship between husband and wife had become so bad that a divorce was necessary, but would Tajima Xinghei agree to divorce?Because I was eager to know the answer, I went to visit Tajima's house overnight. When I arrived at Tajima's house, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. If it were an ordinary person, I would have gone to bed by this time, but the Tajima's house was still brightly lit.

I rang the bell, but no one answered. Just as I was considering whether to ring the bell again, the door opened and Tajima Kohei walked out. I will never forget Kohei Tajima's face at that time in my life, because his eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of bloodshot eyes. With a tired face and closed mouth, he looked like a red ghost. Just when I was almost fainted by fright, Xingping said in an excited tone: "I am busy preparing for tomorrow, and I don't want to see anyone." After that, With a bang, the door was closed. After the incident, I realized that the phrase "preparing for tomorrow's event" had a terrible meaning, but I didn't know it at the time. If I knew it, I would be able to prevent it from happening. I met the murderer, and the murderer warned me about the murder , to kill by forced martyrdom——

The memorabilia continues, but what follows are just notes. Yabe put down the weekly magazine, the first question that came to mind was—is this true?Since this is not a well-reviewed weekly magazine, the possibility of nonsense is very high, and the description of "looks like a red ghost" is a bit exaggerated. It is too arbitrary to say that "preparing for tomorrow's events" is to prepare for the murder. (However, what if it was true that he met the Tajimas before the incident?) After thinking about it, Yabe decided on the spot to meet this reporter after returning to Tokyo.At this point he had to forget about it for a while, because there were other things to think about.
