Chapter 58 fourth quarter

twelve hours. As Yabe walked, he thought that twelve hours was too short, and it was not an easy task to find evidence of the murder within these twelve hours. If these twelve hours were allowed to pass in vain, Yabe would have no choice but to abandon the matter, and Kazuhiko Iseki would be safe. Yabe felt more and more anxious, and his pace naturally accelerated, but he didn't know where to go. Yabe was convinced that the incident was a homicide. Kazuhiko Iseki poisoned the Tajima couple, and Fuutaro Egami must have been killed by Iseki. However, if no evidence could be found within these twelve hours, Yabe had no choice but to abandon the incident. Therefore, He hopes to find evidence and understand the motives for killing Tajima and his wife.

However, where can we find evidence and know the motive?If possible, he would like to fly to Hiroshima, arrest Lao Yue of the Kokubo Pharmacy, and force him to ask Kazuhiko Iseki what he entrusted to him. However, it is difficult to go back and forth to Hiroshima within twelve hours. In the past, it was possible to extort a confession by torture, but now it is not possible. No report of the discovery of Egami Fuutarou's body has been received yet. If Egami Fuutarou's body can be found, the body will be a proof, Yabe thinks so.He needs clues to track down Kazuhiko Iseki, any clue will do.

Yabe stopped, turned to Miyake-saka in front of the Metropolitan Police Department and continued walking. The cold wind was blowing from the trench. It was winter wind. Looking at his watch, it was past twelve o'clock, and there were only eleven hours and thirty minutes of vacation left. Can evidence be found during this period of time?The head of the section said that if you work hard, you will definitely be able to find the evidence within twelve hours.Yabe knew that these were purely comforting words, and he couldn't find them for two and a half days, so how could he find them within twelve hours?

He was really not sure that he could find evidence in the last half day. (evidence and motivation...) Yabe asked this while facing the dark Ryogou.Needless to say, of course he couldn't get the answer. Although he knew he had to find it, not only did he not have the confidence to find it, but as time went by, his confidence became even lower. In order to stabilize his mood, Yabe took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, meditating bit by bit. (Motivation first.) Although Kazuhiko Iseki couldn't see the motive for killing the Tajima couple, Yabe was convinced that Iseki had a motive for killing the Tajima couple, but it was just hidden.

Yabe felt that it was necessary to investigate the reason why Iseki Kazuhiko returned to Sendai three years ago. On the surface, it seemed that he left Tokyo and returned to Sendai because of the marriage of his beloved Mariko and Tajima Kohei, but he really Did you return to Sendai because of this matter? If there are other reasons, it may be related to this incident. Yabe went to Yotsuya to visit Shinkikai's office again. In the deserted office, there were three young painters sitting around the stove to keep warm, and there were posters of the art exhibition that ended a month ago on the walls.

A tall young man in a fedora hat had been his host on the previous visit. After the young man glanced at Yabe's face, he lowered his head slightly, probably remembering Yabe's face?The appearance of Yabe with a big mouth should be easy to recall. "I don't know the details about Jingguan-kun's return to Sendai," said the young man. "After he left the association, I received a letter from him. He said in the letter that he knew that his ability in painting was limited, so he had to turn to the hotel run by his father for development. However, judging from this incident, it seems that It was for the sake of the woman that I returned to my hometown."

"When Kazuhiko Iseki left your club, did anything happen in your club?" Yabe asked while looking at the raging flames in the stove.The conclusion of leaving Tokyo because of Mariko Tajima is that it is impossible to understand her motives, and she needs to know more about other things. "No." The young man said. "Mr. Jingguan's departure from the association is purely due to personal reasons." "Did Iseki Kazuhiko hate Tajima Kohei when he was a member of the Shinkikai?" "I don't think so, because they are very close. If it wasn't for that woman, their friendship would have lasted forever."

The other two members said the same thing as this young man. It seems that everyone here thinks that Iseki left Shinkikai and returned to Sendai because of Tajima Mariko, and there is no other answer. Yabe left the Shinkikai office a little disappointed, precious time wasted like this.As Yabe walked, he felt more and more tired.
