Chapter 19 second quarter

Sugihara Keiko wanted to find out where the pediatric ward was, but she was suddenly attracted by a woman crossing from the side.It was a woman in a lavender coat walking slowly down the corridor. She was Chief Arsen's wife. In the first month of this year, the companions of Asen's section chief group were recruited by Asen to his home. Keiko Sugihara met his wife, Fumyo Mori, for the first time. Chief Asen is in his forties this year, and his wife, Wen Dai, seems to be in her thirties.Asen's ex-wife died of illness a few years ago, and he remarried Wen Dai three years ago.With no children, their family is very quiet.

Wen Dai, who is thin-skinned and tender, wearing a well-fitting kimono, and Section Chief Asen, who is gentle and elegant, seem to be a very well-matched couple.Arsen always wears clothes with small patterns appropriate for his age. Keiko Sugihara was shocked when she heard that Bundai was hit by a taxi near her home in April and suffered a fractured thigh.Asen broadcasts an episode every Friday, a TV program about traffic safety, but usually he introduces it from the perspective of a bystander. Sugihara Keiko heard that Morifudai was calling himself.Wen Dai seems to still remember Xizi.Her very beautiful eyes smiled at Keiko Sugihara.

Keiko Sugihara felt very embarrassed that she didn't visit Wendai.She once agreed with Tomioka and Saeki that they would come together, but at that time, Keiko Sugihara was unable to come because of urgent matters, so now, she explained to Wendai in a panic. Mrs. Sen Wendai shook her head calmly, and said with a smile: "Oh, you don't have to feel so sorry. Fortunately, I have entrusted you with the blessings of everyone. I will be discharged from the hospital next week." It turned out that Moribundai was already able to move around freely. At this moment, she had just returned from shopping in the store, and she was holding a bottle of orange juice in her hand.However, her normally delicate face was still noticeably pale and sickly.It can be seen that this is the result of two months of hospitalization for Wen Dai.

Maybe it's because of this reason, in Sugihara Keko's view, when Morifudai and January met, they looked like two different people.Xizi even felt that there was still a melancholy look on Wen Dai's face. The two naturally walked towards Wen Dai's ward. "...Then, not only have I become a victim, but there are indeed many traffic accidents." In the family, Wen Dai has always played the role of her husband Asen's appendage; even if he is hospitalized, he will make people feel approachable. She said to Xizi: "There are six people living in my ward, half of them were involved in traffic accidents. When I heard their introduction, I felt really pitiful..."

"You are so open-minded!..." Sugihara Keiko couldn't help sighing. "Moreover, there are many car perpetrators who have also become victims. Maybe this is a strange circle, but it always makes people feel the misfortune of traffic accidents." "Is it because of compensation?" "Isn't it!..." Wen Dai said angrily, "The physical and mental trauma of people or families who have encountered traffic accidents cannot be calculated with money. The most important thing in reality is the issue of compensation. For example, my room Among the three people here, I am the only one who can forgive the driver."

"What, you didn't seek compensation?" Sugihara Keiko asked in surprise. "That's right. The driver who caused the accident didn't have accident insurance. I didn't even mention the predetermined amount of compensation. I just recorded his accident on the driver's license. The police didn't pursue him any further. He was responsible for anything else. "Wen Dai looked cheerful, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As for his compensation for my economic losses during the hospitalization, I also propose that we settle it privately..."

"How could this be..." Sugihara Keiko muttered in disbelief. "During this period of time, my husband and I have discussed it. Of course, traffic accidents must be prevented first, but it is also important that after a traffic accident, the blood lesson must be remembered, because the victim is the most unfortunate , they have no way of knowing in advance who will traumatize them." Then, Keiko Sugihara remembered that she had heard a similar point of view from Section Chief Asen.At that time, Asen often said that human rationality and goodwill are often most easily lost after accidents...

Mrs. Morifumodai's tone was still so calm, but now it sounded like she meant to "abet" Keiko Sugihara. Keiko Sugihara took Horikoshi Sanae's position again and thought about it—although the hit-and-run murderer was not caught, the victim has already received compensation from the government's compensation business expenses.However, this is only within the scope of compulsory insurance. For Horikoshi Sanae who has never joined any insurance, this amount of compensation is too insignificant.With her mother and son who were chronically ill, she had to live in poverty... At this time, they came to Moribundai's ward.Keiko Sugihara wanted to say a few more words, but because of the nurse's instructions, she had to control herself.Because it's only 10 o'clock, it's not time to meet customers.

"Does Section Chief Asen come every day?" Keiko Sugihara asked with a smile when he broke up with Wendai. In a family without children, Asen loves his "little wife" who is much younger than him. Xizi is very envious of Wen Dai's devotion to her husband. "Not every day..." Morifudai replied with a smile. However, Sugihara Keko still noticed the shadow in her smile. In the pediatric doctor's office, Sugihara Keiko got permission from the attending doctor who could see Horikoshi Sanae's child.The child's name was Horikoshi Akio, and he was only five years old this year.This was what she heard from a neighbor who lived in the same apartment as Horikoshi Sanae.

However, Sugihara Keiko did not find out the name of Horikoshi Sanae's mother. A young doctor who bears the name "Mizoguchi" and looks like a college student who just graduated received Sugihara Keiko. In the morning, the hospital was crowded everywhere, and they had to stand in the corridor in front of the pharmacy and talk.Sugihara Keiko lied that she was Horikoshi Sanae's former friend, and she asked, "I want to know if Akio's bone tuberculosis is serious." "Ah. This disease needs to be rested first, and he has been asked to lie on the bed." Dr. Mizoguchi said with a gloomy face, "Because his tuberculosis bacteria are slowly being brought under control, and the lesion is shrinking, I think there will be more at most. In half a year, you can leave the hospital."

Dr. Mizoguchi, who was half a head taller than Keiko Sugihara, spoke almost from above her head.He spoke very clearly. "After being discharged from the hospital, will he be like an ordinary person?" Keiko Sugihara asked with concern. "You can't do strenuous exercise, but there is no problem with your daily life. At present, we have killed the tuberculosis bacteria that infiltrated the spine. However, because the spine is deformed, it must be immobilized and rested on the bed." Mizoguchi The doctor said so. "Then, Ms. Horikoshi has died, and Akio will have no relatives in the future. What about the future treatment expenses?" Keiko Sugihara asked with concern. "The welfare department in the city should bear his living expenses, so his expenses will be borne by the state." Sugihara Keiko nodded and was silent for a while. "I'm very sorry, there is one more thing to disturb you." Keiko Sugihara suddenly said again, "Do you know anyone who helped Mrs. Horikoshi before she was alive?" "This..." Dr. Mizoguchi clasped his hands together, "I don't know about it, because it's her personal business." Keiko Sugihara asked again: "Have you seen anyone walking with Mrs. Horikoshi?" and "Said something intimate" and other things, but the answer was also unknown. After breaking up with Dr. Mizoguchi, Keiko Sugihara went to the staff office and asked two nurses and a girl in charge of meals, but there was still no clue.It seems that there are few medical staff in large hospitals, and they cannot pay too much attention to the patients' private affairs. However, Sugihara Keiko still learned from one of the nurses that Horikoshi Sanae's mother, who was hospitalized six months ago due to an acute increase in blood pressure, has not recovered her consciousness.So, Sugihara Keko's original idea of ​​going to take a look at it was dismissed just like that.Ming Nan didn't know at the moment that her mother had passed away, so Xizi didn't plan to see Horikoshi Akio anymore. Keiko Sugihara walked outside from the corridor of the ward.The bright sunlight that appears during the rainy season looks very dazzling on the asphalt road.Just after walking out of the dark corridor, Xizi couldn't open his eyes for a moment.For some reason, Sugihara Keiko suddenly felt like a woman who had just died and returned to daylight all of a sudden. Sugihara Keiko felt that the woman named Horikoshi Sanae, whom she had never seen before, did not seem to exist.She sent the mother and child to the hospital, and then, she often went back and forth between the dilapidated shabby room and the ward. Once she found the hit-and-run criminal, even if she took any means of revenge, it would not be too much... Keiko Sugihara walked towards the main entrance of the hospital with heavy steps.She helplessly sorted out her depressed mood, and raised her hand as a gesture to a taxi that had just delivered its guests. Today, we have made an appointment at 11 o'clock to discuss the production of the program on Kyushu TV.The other party is Mariko Kitasaka's older sister, Norihisa Fuchigami. Keiko Sugihara will be in charge of producing one of the three-minute videos of "Your Tea Time" to celebrate the 20th anniversary of KBS's 20th anniversary, which will be aired three times.Since she has other programs, this program must have its own distinctive features, so she chose the theme of "women's foreign tourism". In addition to inviting the staff of the travel company and people with experience in traveling abroad to introduce the situation in this regard, Sugihara Keiko also chose Kikuko Fuchigami as the special guest of this program. In fact, this was recommended to her by Sugihara Keko when she discussed with Section Chief Asen.Ji Jiuzi had been a guest on the program of Section Chief Asen several times before, and he had done several consulting programs of legal counsel, so the two of them were very familiar with each other.She also has extensive experience traveling abroad. In order to start shooting three days later, we need to cooperate briefly in advance. Today, we have made an appointment. Ji Jiuzi will come to the stage in the morning. In the hall of Kyushu TV station, even in the small dining room next to it, it was very chaotic.During the commemorative event, since the program was more than three times that of normal days, the number of personnel in all aspects increased significantly from preparation to official broadcast.On the large monitor on the opposite side of the hall, the bass program being broadcast by the TV station is broadcast, and the announcer's voice can be heard occasionally. Returning to this habitual atmosphere, Keiko Sugihara also felt eager to try. Kiko Hisako Fuchigami was sitting alone on the sofa in the small dining room.She had her hair cut short and neat, and she wore decent clothes.Her long, beautiful legs were stretched out under the table, with one arm resting on the armrest, and she was looking at a flower-covered advertising magazine. "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." Keiko Sugihara said very apologetically. So Kiko looked up and smiled from behind those elegant glasses. "No, I've just been here too." Her cadenced female voice was slightly masculine. "It doesn't matter, if I can help the program. Although I have traveled abroad, it has only been to Europe and the United States once, not often!" This is the third time for Keiko Sugihara to see Kiko Fuchigami, but after exchanging some pleasantries, Kiko immediately got to the point. "No, you can talk about your impressions of foreign countries, and give some advice to those who plan to travel, the more specific the better." Sugihara Keiko said with a smile. "In that case..." Ji Jiuzi set his eyes on those books. If you look carefully, you can see that Kikuko Fuchigami is Mariko Kitasaka's older sister, and the two of them are very similar.Compared with the extravagant and poor Mariko, Kiko Kiko is slightly taller, and seems to be more fond of electric perms, shorter hairstyles, and sportswear. Therefore, her style is bright, coupled with her pair of eyes that sparkle with wisdom , and gentle lips, giving people a pure feeling. It's just due to professional habits, the style of glasses worn by Kiko makes people feel that she looks like a man again. Kikuko Uchigami, 34, was born in Kumamoto Prefecture and graduated from the Law Department of National University in Osaka.After completing her internship in the judiciary, she returned to her hometown.She was married once but is still single and works at a civil law firm in Fukuoka City. "Recently it is very popular for a single woman to travel overseas..." Ji Jiuzi's lips were tightly tightened, and he said very rationally, "The increase of this ratio will also bring more troubles. Those who do not know the travel destination in advance People were attacked and robbed by hooligans in black areas in Europe, and recently, a young girl who was alone in northern France suddenly lost her memory while traveling and was admitted to the hospital. In my case It seems that the kind of unplanned, self-proclaimed "youth school" travel, the idea of ​​​​wherever you go, is very dangerous. I think: this responsibility should be more or less borne by women's weekly magazines. And Some so-called group trips have too much free time, which is also one of the reasons for the adverse events... If it comes to advice, I think that's basically it..." "Very good. The time you talked about is about five minutes..." Keiko Sugihara clapped her hands proudly. At this moment, the gaze of Kiko Fuchigami, who was originally staring at Sugihara Keiko's eyes, looked behind her again, showing a hint of a smile. Keiko Sugihara looked back, and it turned out that it was Mariko Kitasaka who was wearing a light green dress and holding a lot of books on her chest, walking over quietly.The male announcer who was her partner at all times followed behind Mariko. Kitasaka Mariko smiled dully towards her sister.Mariko with shawl hair, compared with Kikuko Fuchigami, is slightly younger than her sister, and has the demeanor of a petite woman. "Long time no see." Ji Jiuzi said. "Isn't it? What's wrong!..." Mariko Kitasaka replied perfunctorily, then glanced at Keiko Sugihara, and asked with a smile, "What are you still discussing?" "That's right... because the filming will start tomorrow, a program about overseas travel!..." Keiko Sugihara replied with a smile on his face. "That's right... I also have a date to discuss today." When saying these words to the two of them, Kitasaka Mariko gestured to the male announcer behind him. Kikuko Fuchigami just nodded silently, while Mariko Kitasaka walked quickly towards the office.When the male announcer walked past the two of them, he also nodded to Kikuko and Sugihara Keiko. Keiko Sugihara felt: Kiko Hisako Fuchigami and Mariko Kitasaka didn't look like sisters who haven't seen each other for a long time, and their performance was too indifferent.Perhaps they are out to take care of the impact on those around them?However, with so many people coming and going in and out of the stage, no one would pay attention to whether the sisters are performing on the same "stage"! When Mariko Kitasaka left for Hawaii in June, Kiko Hisako also went to the airport to see Mariko off.At that time, Keiko Sugihara was occasionally on the second floor, and among the people seeing off below, Kiko and Mariko's husband, Etsushi Kitasaka, were chatting and laughing, and it was very lively. So Sugihara Keko suddenly remembered the legend of people on KBS TV station: the two sisters lived in their own homes since they were young because of family reasons.However, Keiko Sugihara knew this, and didn't know any more details... Thinking of Keiko Sugihara here, Mariko Kitasaka, who came back suddenly, patted on the shoulder: "I remembered the overseas travel. I brought the documents from Hawaii and my passport." "Ah, I'm so sorry, I want to use it as a reference in the show..." So, Kitasaka Mariko pulled out a large envelope from the book she was holding just now, and handed it to Sugihara Keiko. Mariko Kitasaka went to Hawaii with her husband on June 1 and returned to Fukuoka on June 8.Because her impression of travel is still very fresh, Sugihara Keiko also wanted to hear her introduction, so she asked her to find these materials. As Keiko Sugihara saw it, Ji Hisako Fuchigami also looked at the big letter curiously, and poured out all the contents inside. These were several very beautifully printed color pamphlets, some photographs, and a peach-coloured passport book with gilt chrysanthemums.When I opened it, on the fifth page, there was a photo of Mariko Kitasaka, wearing Takashimada's hair in a bun and wearing a kimono. She looked elegant and dignified just like Mariko when she set off. Travel vouchers were issued in March this year.In the "Verification" column, it says "Certified to leave the country from Japan", the date is June 1 this year, and then in the column "Certified to return to Japan", the date is June 8.The place of entry and exit is marked as "HANEDA". On the page a little further ahead, the stamp of the United States was affixed. It entered from Hawaii on June 1 and departed from Hawaii on June 7, all of which were written in English.The reason why the dates are different is because of the time difference. Keiko Sugihara closed Mariko's passport with very complicated emotions. What Mariko Kitasaka said about the trip and the photos of Hawaii are all facts.Since this is a very ordinary trip to Hawaii, these materials can only be obtained by going to those places, and Xizi's purpose is to confirm Mariko's travel voucher. Zhenbi Xiumin and the murderer who killed him entered Sugihara Keiko's room through the gate.From the moment Xizi suspected that there was someone beside him who secretly stole his key, Sugihara Xizi turned his suspicious eyes to the people around him. However, there are too many people who are suspicious without evidence.Now only Mariko Kitasaka has figured it out.She traveled in Hawaii for eight days, and June 4, the day Zhenbi Xiumin was killed, was one day in the middle of these eight days.Therefore, as long as this trip is fake, she may be a participant in this case! However, after Kitasaka Mariko's whereabouts were proven, her younger sister Uchigami Kikohisa became the second person who should be excluded.
