Chapter 10 Section five

Soon after returning to the apartment, Keiko Sugihara immediately took the car to the house of Yumiko Kato, the best classmate in high school, which was only 15 minutes away. At nearly 1 o'clock in the morning, Yumiko Kato suddenly saw Keiko Sugihara ringing her doorbell like a ghost, and she was startled. "I want to see you right away!..." Sugihara Keiko said coldly. "That's very welcome! Let's sleep in the same bed!..." Kato Yumiko was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She really hoped that Xizi would move to her house. This two-bedroom house is already filled with the warm atmosphere of the little life that is about to be born soon.However, at this moment, Sugihara Keiko was in pain all over her body, she just wanted to get out of bed and sleep right away.

"How was last night?" Keiko Sugihara went to work in the kitchen very early in order to go to work. "It's okay. My husband's ship has arrived in Japan." Kato Yumiko, who is six months pregnant and has a big belly, replied with a smile. Sugihara Keiko also smiled at Kato Yumiko, and suddenly saw the newspaper box on the door behind her.There was already a morning paper in it.She immediately thought that the photo of that man would be published in the newspaper.But, that was too fast. Sugihara Keko stopped, went to the door to get the newspaper, and immediately opened it to read - of course, there will be no such reports.

Sugihara Keiko put the newspaper back, quietly closed the door, and walked out of Kato Yumiko's house. In the second half of last night, there was a light rain. At this time, the sky was still gray, which made people feel a bit chilly.Has it entered the rainy season? On the wide residential roads, there are very few people going to work at this time.Everyone is walking in the same direction.At the intersection ahead, a tram was passing slowly, and people stopped there, waiting for the tram to pass by. What was reflected in Sugihara Xizi's eyes was a chaotic morning glow, not only because of the climate, but also because Xizi hardly fell asleep all night.

Last night—no, it should be said this morning, Sugihara Keiko rushed to Kato's house, and after Yumiko spread the quilt for her, she went straight in and fell asleep.Although Xizi Sugihara fell asleep quickly due to excessive fatigue, but within an hour, Xizi woke up again.From then until dawn, while listening to Yumiko's even breathing, she dimly let time flow by her side. Ah, if time never moved, and the sky never dawned, how wonderful it would be to stay in this quilt forever!This wish fell heavily into Sugihara Keiko's brain like a lead. Thinking about it, what happened last night appeared in Sugihara Keiko's mind one after another.

Didn't anyone notice Sugihara Keko's process of carrying the corpse?Is there an oversight? ... When recalling these fragments, Sugihara Keko's heart jumped violently again.If someone saw Keiko Sugihara and called the police... There must be chaos in the apartment right now, right?Maybe at this moment, the criminal police have rushed to the TV station. No, if someone saw it, he should also be aware of it, because, in that situation, people's instincts would be extraordinarily alert. Although Xizi Sugihara recalled it roughly, and he didn't find any flaws, Xizi really lost the courage to go directly to the TV station.

At the end of the road in the community, there is a telephone booth.Keiko Sugihara walked in.She dialed the report department, and Tachibana Yosuke's friend Yanagida came to answer the call. "Ah, I'm Sugihara Keiko..." Sugihara Keiko said weakly. "Oh, it's Axi! It's rare! How did you get here? What's the matter with you?..." "Oh, I got the wrong extension. I was supposed to answer the production department." Keiko Sugihara said in a normal tone, "So, is there any news today?" "Ah, there are so many! Murder cases, traffic accidents, gas poisoning..."

When hearing the "murder case", Sugihara Keko was shocked.She wanted to ask directly, "Where did it happen?" However, she was afraid of arousing the other party's suspicion, so she forcibly swallowed it back. However, Liu Tian seemed to be serious.Since he didn't know the location of Xizi Sugihara's apartment, even if the murder happened in "Green Hill", he would not be connected with Xizi. After saying a few words, Keiko Sugihara hung up the phone, and this time she connected to the production department again.This time, Zuo Bo came to pick him up, and Xi Zi told him that because there was work outside today, he would not go to the stage.

"In that case, let me type your attendance card for you." The other party said very easily. Next, Keiko Sugihara called the news departments of the newspapers, the women's groups, and the publicity departments of department stores——and urged them about their recent preparations for cooperating with them in filming TV films. Since she undertook a wide-ranging program content production plan, she has to make a new theme and plan change to the program content almost every week.At the same time, Sugihara Keiko also took a vigorous approach, which made the opponent's nerves highly tense.No matter where she goes, Sugihara Kiko always has three sentences that cannot be separated from the theme.

After Keiko Sugihara made these few phone calls, her mood was immediately immersed in the familiar content again, and her tense mind relaxed somewhat. At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Keiko Sugihara appeared in the building of Kyushu TV Station.She wanted to take a look at the report department, but finally suppressed this desire and walked straight to the production department.However, Keiko Sugihara did not see anyone from Asen's team. A piece of official paper was placed on Xizi's desk.She picked it up and saw that it was written by Chief Asen with a ballpoint pen. Miss Sugihara, someone wants to see you in the reception room on the first floor.

The word "someone" immediately chilled Sugihara Keko's body. The criminal police really came? ! ...What should I do, run away immediately?In that case, the situation will be more serious, right? The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Sugihara Keiko immediately realized that her face had turned pale. Sugihara Keiko came to the door of the reception room next to the hall. Through the frosted glass, she saw two figures inside, who seemed to be whispering something.It was Chief Asen's voice.Could it be that the criminal police are inquiring about their affairs? Just as Sugihara Keko was thinking this way, a figure stood up and opened the door of the reception room.Xizi was startled suddenly.

What came out was a burly, middle-aged man about 50 years old.He had a pair of thick shield hairs on his face, tight lips, and a painful expression.After going out, he strode towards the hall.He didn't even look at Keiko Sugihara. So Sugihara Keiko calmly walked into the reception room. Chief Arsen was sitting there, staring at the opposite wall, and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.He slowly pulled out one and put it in his mouth, but his facial expression was still very stiff. "Um, is that person...?" Keiko Sugihara's trembling questioning voice brought Section Chief Asen back to his senses.He quickly took the cigarette out of his mouth and said, "It is said to be a relative of the child interviewed last week." "The orphan from the traffic accident...?" "Hmm!..." Chief Asen nodded seriously. Asen's traffic publicity program group, during this period of time, has been tracking and introducing some orphans who lost their parents due to traffic accidents in the form of continuous reports, or appealing to social welfare agencies to adopt these grown-up children, or Appeal to the society to accept the employment of students who have graduated.There have been good results, and even some people have donated money and materials to them.They will continue to report these developments in order to attract more attention from the society. "We are studying whether we should give these people a special name so that they will not encounter some troubles in society in the future..." "That's too much thinking..." Sugihara Keiko shook his head and sighed. "Well. Anyway, as a plan, it's better to think a little more." Chief Asen shook his head and said with a smile. "I'm thinking that traffic accidents are, in the final analysis, unpredictable accidents, which form an unfortunate meeting point between the victim and the perpetrator. Therefore, it is necessary for people to start from rational and well-intentioned From the perspective, consider the aftermath. Will the society, including the parties involved, not cause greater sacrifices in dealing with this tragedy? From this point of view, I plan to further deepen the topic of traffic accidents..." Section Chief Asen took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then spoke enthusiastically.Then, he stopped suddenly, as if thinking about something, and fell into deep thought. Since the traffic accident in April, he had often thought about his wife in the hospital, and maybe he was doing the same now. After being silent for a while, Sugihara Keiko asked, "People who want to see me..." "Ah!..." Chief Asen suddenly raised his head, and his expression changed. "I said to wait here, maybe go back?" He looked around casually. "I also went out during the day today, and I just came back..." "Going back?" Sugihara Keko opened his eyes wide. "Yes, this is the person." As he spoke, Section Chief Asen took out a business card from his coat pocket and handed it to Keiko Sugihara. The name of the business card was a private university located in Fukuoka and the "Advertising Research Association". The owner of the business card was "Junichiro Taniguchi". After Sugihara Keiko looked at this for a while, she finally remembered, so she immediately sat on the chair. "This is my friend's brother. I asked him to find me a chance to visit the studio." After hearing the explanation, Chief Asen added: "It's Xihai University, my junior." "So, what would advertising research do?" "I just heard him say that it is through advertising to study modern society, that is, advertising modernism. I think it is commercial advertising!" Asen has returned to his usual look when he was in the department and was the chief of the department. However, this sentence made Sugihara Keiko anxious; because, she suddenly remembered that a business review videotape entrusted to her by the sales department was still in her apartment!I promised to bring it tomorrow. Thinking of this, Keiko Sugihara walked out of the reception room as if being bounced up suddenly. Keiko Sugihara came to the door of Kyushu TV Station, stopped a taxi with her hand, and ran towards the apartment.She hoped to return home as soon as possible, otherwise she would be even more afraid if she went back at night. Because this "someone" is not an "important" person, at this time, Sugihara Keko's strength has somewhat recovered. The taxi came to a stop in front of the apartment.The surrounding sky has darkened, as usual, without any special changes.It was also quiet around the shop with the lights on. However, even in such a quiet environment, it cannot be said that nothing happened.If the body was found in the morning, then the on-site evidence collection by the forensic doctor and the criminal police would be over.In this way, there is nothing unusual about the apartment area appearing calm. Generally speaking, to get to the swamp, you should turn left from the front. Even though the swamp is very close to the apartment, it cannot be said that it must have any direct relationship with the apartment. It is only meaningful to find out that the deceased had a relationship with himself. So, Keiko Sugihara began to reflect on her actions last night in order. After the corpse was pushed into the swamp, the scratches caused by dragging had already been cleaned by myself. Moreover, since the dirt road was very dry and there was another light rain, there should not be any traces on the ground.Thinking of this, Keiko Sugihara was secretly happy in her heart. In addition, there should be no traces left outside or indoors.There were no bloodstains, and the footprints were only her own, because, just to be cautious, Sugihara Kiko wiped the carpet with a rag! No murder weapon or anything was found.In the process of moving the corpse, Sugihara Keiko originally planned to throw his glasses, shoes, and the small yellow book that fell out of his jacket pocket into the swamp, but after thinking about it, he still I put away the little book, and took it to Yumiko Kato's house together with my cosmetics, and put it in the closet. This small book is an address book, but the owner's name is not written on it, so it is difficult to find out his identity... At the entrance of the apartment, under the street lamp beside the alley, Keiko Sugihara suddenly saw two figures.Two men in ordinary suits stood facing the swamp over there.Hearing footsteps, the tall man turned his head to look at Xizi, and then at the swamp. In an instant, Sugihara Keko's heart was in his throat.Maybe a salesman. When she opened the door, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.The two men who were looking at the swamp just now walked quickly towards Sugihara Keiko. One of them was a short and fat man in his forties, and the other was younger and taller, but they were all people Sugihara Keiko had never seen before. "Stop, are you Miss Sugihara Keiko?" The young man asked. "Ah!..." Sugihara Keiko was about to suffocate, because this person showed Sugihara Keiko a black police ID card in his hand. When they confirmed that they had found the right person, Xizi had no choice but to nod slightly.The criminal police signaled Sugihara Keiko to open the door. "May I ask a few words, please?" they asked in a kind but undeniable tone.The tall man approached a little, as if he wanted to force Keiko Sugihara to go in together immediately. There was no other way, Sugihara Keiko had no choice but to push open the door.The interior has been completely restored to its usual appearance. In Sugihara Keko's heart, it was like "fifteen buckets fetching water—up and down", beating "poundingly".But when she turned on the light, she was ready to fight back with all her strength. After taking off his shoes and entering the room, the tall criminal policeman habitually looked around the room.Sugihara Keiko became even more nervous. Then, the detective scanned Sugihara Keko's body again, and asked, "Do you know that Mr. Zhenbi was killed?" "Zhenbi...?" Sugihara Keiko was taken aback. "Yes. Director of Daimi Industrial Co., Ltd.—Mr. Zhenbi Xiumin." This time, the tone was not so gentle. The older detective walked into the bedroom and took a look in the kitchen.This younger detective stared at Keiko Sugihara with a stern look. "This morning, the body of Mr. Zhenbi Xiumin was found in the swamp opposite. It was discovered by someone walking there at 10 o'clock this morning." "What does that have to do with me?" Sugihara Keiko retorted, but her voice was trembling. "Do you know Zhenbi Xiumin?" The tall detective asked sternly. "No, I don't know!..." Sugihara Keko immediately denied that she really didn't know Zhenbi Xiumin. "Really? But, he knows you. In his notebook, he wrote down your name and address." "Mine? In my notebook?... It might be by chance..." At this time, the middle-aged criminal policeman who had been standing by the window, looking out, immediately turned around and said, "Anyway, come to the police station and explain it in detail!..." Probably they wanted to take Sugihara Keiko away from the very beginning, and they just went into the house to check for abnormalities. Sugihara Keiko made up her mind, so she put on her shoes before the two police officers urged her.Confronting the police in this room will only add to your own troubles.
