Chapter 63 Section IX

When he resigned to the inspector and left the police station, Yabe's expression became very complicated. He was thinking about the possibility that Goto Tsuneo was the pseudonym of Iseki Kazuhiko.Not only were they the same age and figure, but they even had the same round face. Judging from the statement that Tsuneo Goto is often not at home, there is such a possibility, because when he was running a hotel in "Kanrizhuang", it was natural that Tsuneo Goto was not seen in this place. If Iseki Kazuhiko and Goto Tsuneo were the same person, then the charred body that was believed to have set itself on fire on the night of the 25th was not Goto Tsuneo, and the possibility of being Fuutarou Egami's body became very strong.

"But--" Yabe felt that it was too late now. If the corpse was discovered and dissected, it would be possible to know who the corpse was. Now it is impossible, because the corpse has been burned to ashes, so it is impossible to tell who it is, and it can only be speculated. Egami Fuutarou, who came to Sendai, deliberately did not stay at "Kannichiso", could it be because he wanted to monitor Iseki Kazuhiko?When he followed Iseki Kazuhiko who was going out, he found that he had transformed into Goto Tsuneo. Only by thinking this way can he understand why Fuutarou Egami needs a map of Sendai City.

Because in addition to investigating the "Kanrizhuang" near the ancient city of Aoba, he also needs to investigate Goto Tsuneo's home in Taizhiyuan. Iseki knew that his secret had been known by Fuutarou Egami, so he killed Egami Miguchi. In the predicament of Kunai disposing of the corpse, he asked Goto Tsuneo to set fire to himself to solve the corpse. People who didn't know the details really thought that Goto committed suicide, so they put The charred body was cremated and buried in a cemetery. It was the perfect crime, and he succeeded. "But..." Yabe felt that his reasoning had hit a wall again. If his reasoning was true, why did Kazuhiko Iseki go to such trouble to use an alias to paint?

Is it true what Sanyo Yoshikawa said, because he has left the Xinjihui, he is embarrassed to paint under the name of Jingguan again?Yabe felt that things would not be so simple. There should be deeper reasons, even more unknown reasons.Yabe, who was contemplating with a troubled face, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "I understand!……" Yabe thought so.However, the premise is that Goto Tsuneo and Iseki Kazuhiko are the same person. First of all, this premise must be confirmed. In order to confirm this premise, it is necessary to meet with Iseki Kazuhiko again. "Let's go meet Iseki Kazuhiko right now." Yabe said to Ijuin Shinkichi. "I want you to play a role then."
