Chapter 32 third quarter

"Bastard, how could it develop into an incomprehensible weird incident!..." In the small restaurant, Yosuke Tachibana, who was sitting opposite Keiko Sugihara who had been waiting for him, frowned rarely, and said angrily. "What do you mean by that...?" Sugihara Keiko asked in surprise. "The Section Chief Mori Jie mentioned by Masao Kubogawa, when he was killed at the International Cemetery, that is, around 6:30 pm on June 26, Kiko Fuchigami had a very positive 'alibi'. !..." Hearing these words, Keiko Sugihara opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Yosuke Tachibana.

"Just now I asked a few reporters... They were called to the police yesterday evening and listened to the report on Ji Hisako Fuchigami. They all said that there was proof of her whereabouts. On June 26th , She stayed in Fukuoka all the time and didn’t go anywhere. Kiko didn’t admit it, but went to Nagasaki to meet Section Chief Asen.” Yosuke Tachibana stomped his feet resentfully while looking at the small notepad, “Later The police sent people to the apartment where she lived in Fukuoka. The management personnel of the apartment also confirmed that Ji Hisako Fuzumi stayed in the apartment from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on June 26. During the investigation, the police also I am very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wendai's rumors of 'an affair between Section Chief Asomori and Kiko Hisako'."

"But... Who is the witness who witnessed Kikuko Fuchigami appearing in Fukuoka on June 26?" Keiko Sugihara asked excitedly. "That day, a person happened to visit her. She was a member of the women's golf club. She was 40 years old this year. She met Kiko Hisako three years ago. Recently, her husband had just passed away. I was having a lot of trouble with my in-laws, so I came to Ji Jiuzi and asked her to give me some advice." Yosuke Tachibana flipped through his notebook while introducing the situation to Keiko Sugihara.Hearing these things, Sugihara Keiko frowned secretly.

"Usually, the client would go to the office to talk to Ji Hisako Fuchigami about matters, and basically could not come to the house to discuss this kind of business with her; however, because Ji Hisako's health is not very good recently, so She doesn't go to work very often, so the lady found Ji Hisako's house as her and herself as friends for many years." Yosuke Tachibana frowned and said, "This lady said that she was at 6:00 p.m. on June 26th. From the clock to 9 o'clock in the evening, I have been discussing this matter with Kikuko Fuchigami, and this detail is consistent with what Kikuko confessed."

Speaking of this, Tachibana Yosuke and Sugihara Keiko almost couldn't help themselves, both heaved a long sigh and looked at each other.Since it was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there were very few customers in the store.This day was at the "Bai Ling" small restaurant, two days after seeing Senwen acting for them. That night, Tachibana Yosuke urged Kubogawa Masao, and Sugihara Keiko took Mori Fumyo to the Inasa Police Station to surrender.Based on the testimony of the two people, the police rushed to the International Cemetery overnight to find Sen Jie's body. And Tachibana Yosuke did not meet with Sugihara Keiko, and returned to Fukuoka overnight. Therefore, after that, Tachibana Yosuke was the criminal police officer of the Inasa Police Department who directly asked about it. At the same time, he also asked the reporter from the Reporting Department for a moment.

According to what Kubogawa Chio said, Asen's body was indeed found in the Chinese cemetery, where the deepest grass was found.Since five days had passed and it was hot summer again, the corpse was already highly corrupted, but Mrs. Wen Dai recognized at a glance that the deceased was her husband—Sen Jie. As a result of the autopsy, it was found that the time of death was from noon on June 26 to the morning of the 27th; according to the testimony of Komai of the Nagasaki Correctional TV Station, at around 6:20 pm on June 26, he saw Asen enter the Since he came to the cemetery, the time of death should be after that, and with the testimony of Masao Kubogawa, it is basically confirmed that the time of death of Sen Jie was between 6:30 and 7:00 pm on June 26.

At around 7 o'clock that night, the old lady selling goldfish under the cemetery saw the man who should actually be Masao Kubogawa.That day, like Asen, he wore a pair of light brown suit pants, and it was indeed at that moment that he walked out of the stone steps beside the International Cemetery. Senjie's cause of death was brain injury caused by skull fracture.The laceration on the head matches the corners on the nearby tombstone.In addition, no poison was detected in his body. At the bottom of the underwear pocket in Senjie's suit, there is a small stainless steel key.According to the mark on the key, they found a coin-operated locker for storing small luggage at Nagasaki Station.

Since the storage period has exceeded four days, the contents of the cabinet have been taken out by the station staff and kept in the station office.In fact, only a black leather bag was put in the cabinet.From this, it can be speculated that Senjie actually came to Nagasaki Station from Omura Airport.He kept his purse in order to facilitate his journey (at 6:00 p.m. on June 26, the person Tachibana Yosuke saw at Nagasaki Station must have been Asen). The express letter that everyone was concerned about was also found in the leather bag. The content of the letter was the same as what Morifumo told Sugihara Keiko, and the handwriting was Kubagawa Masao.

Therefore, except for the last part, the contents stated by Mori Fumyo and Kubogawa Masao are basically the same.Therefore, at the Inasa Police Station, their confessions were recorded, and at noon the next day, the police summoned Kiko Fuchigami. "However, Kikuko Fuchigami completely denied what they said, and insisted that she knew nothing about it." Tachibana Yosuke shook his head and sighed, "Because she has sufficient 'alibi' , it seems that the Inasa Police Department is at a loss." "So, is that lady alone as her witness?" Keiko Sugihara asked very seriously.

"No, the staff of Sakurai Law Firm also proved that Kiko Fuchigami said that a client was going home, so she left the law firm at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Attorney Sakurai went to the Prosecutor's Office, and this staff member was looking after the house. ——If Kiko was still in the office in Fukuoka at 5 o'clock, then it would be impossible to reach Nagasaki at 6:30. Therefore, if Kiko's 'alibi' is really forged, it can only mean that the staff of the firm and the client are lying together." "She can make them perjure herself!..."

After saying this, Sugihara Keiko also felt: not so confident. "Yeah. The Inasa Police Department has also thought about it, and has sought other witnesses many times." Yosuke Tachibana shook his head and sighed repeatedly while talking, "However, it seems that they don't want to overthrow the testimony of these people. If you find If there is no counter-evidence to overturn their testimony, maybe they will not pursue the authenticity of these testimony." "Why?" Sugihara Keiko asked excitedly. "First of all, if what Mrs. Morifumodai said is true, then it can be found out that what Section Chief Asen told her about Ji Hisako Fuchigami's past. But this is four years ago As the important persons involved in the incident—Mitsuhiko Hamaguchi and Sanae Horikoshi are both dead, it is a very troublesome matter to investigate.” Yosuke Tachibana sighed and said, “Mitsuhiko Hamaguchi’s sister saw it, the criminal police I showed her the photo of Ji Jiuzi, but in the end, she didn't dare to judge, it must be the person who appeared four years ago, so there is no conclusion." "It's so troublesome!..." Sugihara Keiko sighed softly. "—However, despite this, the police still believe what Mrs. Wen Dai and the others said?" Sugihara Keko asked with a glimmer of hope. "No, not necessarily." Tachibana Yosuke held it in his hands and said with his tanned face after staying in Nagasaki for a while. "Because Kiko Fuchigami's 'alibi' can't be denied, some people have raised the question: Could it be the idea of ​​Mrs. Fumidai and Masao Kubogawa colluding..." "But, why did the two of you do that...?" Keiko Sugihara shook her head in disbelief. "They have various explanations. For example, Mrs. Wen Dai discovered the improper relationship between Chief Asmori and Kiko Fuchigami. Out of revenge, she asked Masao Kubogawa to threaten her husband. Therefore, Masao Kubogawa took Mori Jie Lied to the International Cemetery, but the words were not speculative, so he pushed Asen into the Chinese cemetery. In this way, Wen Dai could not escape the charge of conspiring to kill his own husband, so he negotiated with Yafu to fabricate such a record. The lie that Hisako pushed to the position of the murderer." "Ah?..." However, Sugihara Keko thought: this kind of opinion cannot be trusted.That day, when she and Fumyo met in the small restaurant "Bailing", Masao Kubogawa was very surprised when he saw it was Fumyo, and when he saw himself again, he ran away in a hurry.Moreover, she believed very much what Wen Dai told her that night. Speaking of which, Ji Hisako Fuchigami really did just as she defended herself, she has nothing to do with this matter? "Then, Ji Jiuzi's proof and Wen Dai's statement are not fake...?" "However, there is another situation." Yosuke Tachibana said with an emphasis. "Yes, in case what Section Chief Asen told Wen Dai is all false..." "That bastard Senjie has already lied once." Tachibana Yosuke said bitterly. So far, the possibility of Ji Hisako killing Zhenbi Xiumin has become even greater.Zhenbi Xiumin was killed in Sugihara Xizi's room, but Asen told Wendai that the person named "Zhenxu" died of a heart attack. Could it be that Asen deliberately concealed the truth? evidence? "However, maybe the two of us are the only ones who know he's lying?" Keiko Sugihara muttered in a low voice. "Yeah..." Yosuke Tachibana nodded in agreement. At the Inasa Police Station, Masao Kubogawa and Fumyo Mori confessed the same confessions as they had given to Yosuke Tachibana and Keiko Sugihara.Regarding these confessions, Yosuke Tachibana and Keiko Sugihara listened in the middle without interjecting a word. From this, the police knew the ins and outs of this incident: In the past, Kiko's relationship with Mitsuhiko Hamaguchi, and her return from Aso's psychiatric hospital, acquiesced in a hit-and-run case.Today, four years later, she makes contact with the hit-and-run killer who was threatened by Horikoshi Sanae, "Masaka", and has Masaka Hidetoshi kill Horikoshi Sanae.After that, I heard that "Zhenxu" died of myocardial infarction. Mori Jie asked Kiko Fuchigami to confess this, and asked her to pay compensation to Horikoshi Sanae's survivors to help them live.However, next, Mori Fumyo and Kubogawa Masao set their sights on Kiko again. In the end, Kiko Fuchigami, Mori Kiyoshi, and Kubogawa Masao all gathered at the International Cemetery... That is to say, the police will think that this incident has nothing to do with Zhenbi Xiumin's murder.Of course, even though the police conducted another investigation into the death of Horikoshi Sanae, it would probably be the same as the conclusion at that time, because the person "Masao Hidetoshi" does not exist at all, unless they put "" Zhenyuan Xiumin" is associated with Zhenbi Xiumin who has died.Of course, it depends on how the police will act in the future. "Thinking about it the other way around, if it was Kikuko Fusakami who killed Zhenbi Xiumin, and what Morifumi told the truth on their behalf, couldn't Section Chief Asen be regarded as a murderer?  … "Yosuke Tachibana pondered and said, "First of all, Kiko Fuchigami agreed to Section Chief Asen's proposal based on the 'contract', and this is all because he has grasped Kiko's weakness, and it is possible that this is Section Chief Asen agrees to write off the promise of those things from now on!..." "Yes. In my opinion, we should start with the Zhenbi incident to find the truth." Keiko Sugihara nodded solemnly in agreement. "Well. Personally, I think that the person who killed Section Chief Asen is not necessarily Kiko Fuchigami. Regarding the murder of Section Chief Assen, she has a definite 'alibi'. Although this proof There is a possibility of perjury, but if the police can't overturn the testimony of these two people, they still won't lose to us. In this way, what should we do about Zhenbi Xiumin's killing? During the Zhenbi incident, Ji Jiuzi had No 'alibi'?" "I think it's better to discuss it with the police and conduct an investigation as soon as possible." "However, what if the results of the investigation prove that Ji Jiuzi is still innocent..." Yosuke Tachibana stared at Yosuke Tachibana and Keiko Sugihara with complex expressions, and Keiko could understand his worry. It has been more than a month since Zhenbi Xiumin was killed, and now there is not even an important suspect.Public opinion also believes that this case will become an unsolved case and has been shelved. For this reason, on the one hand, they voluntarily proposed to the police that if Norihisa Uchiko may be the suspect in the murder of Zhenbi Xiumin, the police will definitely do their best to investigate, but if Norihisa Uchiko's "not at the scene" If the proof of "is established again, then, what kind of consequences will it produce? ... On the contrary, in this way, will Sugihara Keiko be placed in a position of attention of the world again?Don't people think that Keiko Sugihara is behind the scenes for no reason, framing an innocent person? Tachibana Yosuke also noticed Sugihara Kiko's idea. "Why don't you conduct a secret investigation first, and see if there is an 'alibi' about Kiko?" Yosuke Tachibana said after a while. "In case, she is not clear on this point, we will report her to the police immediately!..." Yosuke Tachibana vowed. "I have no choice but to..." Sugihara Keiko also had no choice but to nod in agreement. That evening, Keiko Sugihara called Sakurai Law Firm, where Kiko Fuchigami worked, for consultation. Sakurai Law Office is located in a building very close to the prosecutor's office. Sakurai is a well-known and experienced lawyer who handles civil dispute cases.However, due to his advanced age, people have recently commented that Kiko Hisako Fuchigami has become his right-hand man. Keiko Sugihara used a phone in the production department to call Sakurai Law Firm.She had to consciously let the other party feel the chaotic background on the other end of the phone, and then thank them for their assistance to the program group in the past few days, and hoped to meet again. The person who answered the phone was a young man, probably the staff member who provided the "alibi" for Kiko Fuchigami during the Asen incident.While thinking this way, Sugihara Keiko introduced herself, and hoped to entrust Ji Hisako to handle the case. "Ke Yuanshang has already gone home." The other party replied very politely.Sugihara Keko looked up at the wall clock, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.Then, she remembered: General offices are open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Maybe, besides this person, there will be no one else in the office right now?Sugihara Keko suddenly sprouted a bold idea. "But, I'm going to do it today! And, I've agreed with her." Sugihara Keiko became anxious. "Really?..." The other party looked a little embarrassed. "Actually, it happened some time ago. She originally said that I would go to the office to handle it on June 4th... But it was said that she was very busy that day, so she postponed it." June 4th was the day when Zhenbi Xiumin was murdered. "Oh!..." The other party gave a helpless smile.After all, it's been almost a month.Probably he was checking the calendar. After a while, he blamed again, "June 4th, lawyer Yuan Shang is not in Japan!..." "What?..." Sugihara Keiko was taken aback. "Starting from June 2, lawyer Yuanshang traveled to the United States in the next ten days!..." The other party said with a smile. "She went to America?" Keiko Sugihara felt confused for a while. "Yes. It's an investigation team made up of lawyers, going to American courts and bar associations for study tours." The young staff on the other end of the phone flipped through the notepad and said, "Lawyer Yuanshang left in the middle of the journey. " "Ah, is this true?" Hearing this unexpected news, Keiko Sugihara suddenly became nervous. A few days ago, in order to make a videotape of a talk show about traveling abroad, the TV station invited Kiko Fuchigami to come to the station and tell about her experience of traveling to Europe two years ago, but she didn’t mention a word , recently, she went to America for a trip! Is there a reason she doesn't want people to know?In addition, the staff member said that she went halfway, which made Sugihara Keiko feel even more suspicious. At around nine o'clock the next morning, Keiko Sugihara called Sakurai's office again.She wants to meet Kikuko Fuchigami and interview her on her trip to the United States not long ago.Even if you can't see her passport, as long as you know the name of the person traveling with you, you can secretly spy on her whereabouts, and you can observe her reaction... Ji Hisako Fuchigami was working in the office, but the blunt attitude with which she answered the phone made Keiko Sugihara a little nervous.Regarding the appointment made by Xizi, she refused, "Because I have to appear in court today, so I can't agree." Her tone was blunt and very cold. "Then, tomorrow is fine too. Because this is part of the program plan, please be sure..." "Recently, my affairs have been piled up, and I have to participate in other TV programs and dating matters. I can't decide for a while." Hearing this, Sugihara Keiko realized that Kiko Fuchigami was determined to refuse this interview, and maybe he had to calmly challenge it.
