Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

Ringing the doorbell, a cold voice came from the loudspeaker: "Who is it?" "I am a government employee. Mr. Yaguchi, could you please open the door?" Nakaoka tried to speak in a brisk tone. "Government? What's the matter? I'm busy." "It won't take you long, it will be over soon. Please." There was a knocking sound from behind the door, but the door still didn't open.There is a cat's eye on the door, and Nakaoka just waited quietly with a smile on his face. When the lock rang, the door opened.A thin man in his thirties, wearing a sweater and woolen trousers looked out in surprise.

"What's the matter?" the man asked, frowning. "Are you Mr. Yaguchi Naoya?" "yes." Nakaoka nodded slightly and took out his police badge. "Thank you for opening the door." Yaguchi's expression changed. "Policemen?" "Yes. The police department is also one of the government agencies." "I didn't do anything." The other party had a straight face. "I know that. I just want to ask you something. Can I go in and talk about it?" "Uh, this..." Yaguchi seemed concerned about the situation in the room.

At this time, a woman's lazy voice came: "Hey, what are you doing? It's so cold with the door open." "It's so noisy, shut up!" Yaguchi yelled inside. Nakaoka smiled wryly. "Is there a guest? That's not easy." "Sorry, can we talk somewhere else?" "Well, of course." Fifteen minutes later, Nakaoka and Yaguchi sat down at a nearby cafe. "You know Ms. Mizushiro Chisato, right? Her original name was Lihua." "Knowing is knowing..." Yaguchi was a little wary. "You've known her for a long time. You worked together at 'RED' in Ginza for over five years, and you often go out drinking after get off work."

Yaguchi waved his hands in panic. "We don't have any close relationship. It's just that we are all from Niigata, so we can chat. It's not just the two of us when we go out to drink. If you dare to shoot a girl from 'RED', you will be fired immediately. " "Really? That's strange. I heard that you have been seen meeting each other during the holidays." Yaguchi was startled, opened his mouth and blinked again and again. "Only once. Followed her to do some shopping, pick out presents for guests. It was a tie, really." "Okay, it doesn't really matter."

"I'm not lying, that Miss Lihua doesn't like a poor boy like me." Yakou pouted. "I know, I believe you. Maybe you don't have any close relationship, but the relationship is pretty good, right? Otherwise, I won't let you go shopping with her. After she got married, you seem to see each other often. I I asked a girl who was working at 'RED' at the end of last year, and she said that Yaguchi-san himself said so." "Not very often. Besides, I haven't seen each other at all recently, and I haven't even written an email." "When was the last time you saw each other?"

"Uh, when was it..." Yaguchi thought for a while, "About a year ago, about this time." "Did you ask her out?" "No, she said she wanted to see me. However, it was just a meeting, and she didn't even have a meal." "Well, what were you talking about?" Yaguchi's eyes wandered for a moment, and he replied in a low voice, "I don't remember this." "Miss Lihua called you out for no reason? And you didn't even eat?" Nakaoka stared at Yaguchi who bowed his head silently, and continued, "Hey, Mr. Yaguchi, when the criminal police ask questions like this, they usually have obtained A certain level of inside information. Didn’t I say that I once asked a girl about you. You just need to let me hear what the girl said to me.”

Yaguchi raised his head. "She just asked me some questions." "Well. So, please tell me the content of the question. There is still time, you can think about it slowly. Would you like to have a sip of coffee? It's cold." Nakaoka picked up his coffee cup. Yaguchi also picked up the cup, took a sip, and said hesitantly, "She asked me for the underground website." "underground?" "Underground site." "The so-called black website, right?" Yaguchi nodded and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "When talking about this before, I once said: Although most of these websites are unreliable, I know one and I can trust them. She probably still remembers this sentence."

"Why do you want to know this, didn't she say it?" "She said that her husband asked her to ask for help." "Her husband?" "Her husband is a filmmaker. He wanted to make a movie about black websites. He thought that by investigating the actual situation, he might be able to learn something, so he asked Ms. Lihua to ask me." "So did you tell her?" Yes, Yaguchi nodded slightly. "That URL, do you remember?" Yaguchi took out the phone from his pocket, operated it for a while, and showed Nakaoka the screen.Nakaoka wrote down the address shown above.

"Do you believe what she said? She said her husband asked her to ask." "I don't think it's true. However, I think it's better not to get to the bottom of it, so I didn't continue to ask." "What do you think her real purpose is?" After hearing this question, Yaguchi thought for a long time and said, "I don't know." "What type of commissions does that website mainly accept? Or, what kind of orders can it accept?" "Who knows..." was still a vague answer. Nakaoka grabbed Yaguchi's hand that was reaching out to the coffee cup, and squeezed it hard, Yaguchi's face was distorted in pain. "It hurts..."

"Don't play tricks on me. You know that website very well, right? Didn't you say that website is trustworthy?" After speaking, Nakaoka let go of his hand. Yaguchi rubbed his hands and said, "It's just dealing with troublesome things. There are a bunch of people on the website: as long as they are paid, they will do anything." "Including murder?" Yaguchi licked his lips hesitantly. "Although I didn't write it clearly, there was a request that clearly stated that." "I see." Nakaoka took a sip of his coffee, "Yirou Mizushiro...do you know that her husband is dead?"

Yaguchi stuck his chin and nodded. "I heard that he died in the hot spring area." "What do you think after hearing that?" "how to think……" "Just tell the truth, no one will hear it. Don't worry, I won't tell Miss Lihua about it." "Then, well..." Yaguchi inserted his fingers into his hair, "I think she did it beautifully." "Good job? What do you mean?" "Because, she was able to get a large amount of inheritance. Originally, she married for property. Ah, no, it's just that everyone said so, and I don't know if it's true." Nakaoka hummed and drank his coffee. "Recently, you really haven't contacted her?" "Really." "Do you plan to contact me in the future?" "No. I don't think there will be." "Oh." Nakaoka nodded, picked up the bill, and before getting up, he asked again, "Why do you think that website is credible?" "what?" "That black website. There are many unreliable websites, but this one is the only one you trust, right? Why? Don't say that you were introduced by others. This kind of lie that can be easily broken will only cause me trouble .Answer honestly." Yaguchi's temples jumped up. "Have you ever used it?" "I only used it once." Yaguchi replied. "A commission, or an order?" "Orders." "When did that happen?" "Two years ago. I was in urgent need of money..." "What did you do? Kill someone?" "How come!" Yaguchi's eyes widened. "It's a delivery. Pick up the goods in Kasai and send them to Nagoya. Another person is waiting in Nagoya, and after taking the money, the goods will be given to him." "What is it?" "Two cardboard boxes." "What's inside?" "I didn't watch it. I said absolutely not to watch it." "How big? How much?" "It's about this big." Yaguchi gestured with both hands to show a length of one meter. "It's very heavy. A box weighs more than 20 kilograms." "How much did you get?" "One hundred thousand." "Ok." Could it be a corpse inside?Nakaoka imagined.And I'm afraid it's a murder body.If a few more people are hired on the black website to discard the corpse, even if the corpse is found, it will be difficult for the police to find the murderer through the abandonment method. "You can get 100,000 for just traveling back and forth between Tokyo and Nagoya? That's not bad. However, it's against the Freight Transport Business Law." "I'm sorry." Yaguchi curled up into a ball. "Forget it. Forget about meeting me today. In this case, I will also forget that you did this." Nakaoka stood up and patted Yaguchi on the shoulder, "It's good, right?" "Yes, of course! Thank you very much!" Nakaoka dropped Yaguchi, who was shrinking his neck, and walked towards the cashier. Leaving the coffee shop, he pondered over the conversation just now as he walked.While there may be a murder behind Yaguchi's transgressions, it's impossible to track down the two-year-old cardboard box.Anyway, someone else will take care of that matter, and it has nothing to do with Nakaoka. The problem is Chisato, the city of water.Why does she want to know the URL of the black website? Thinking about it, the phone in the inner pocket vibrated.He looked at the caller ID, curled his lips, and picked up the phone: "Hello." "Where did you go to make soy sauce?" Department Chief Narita was very upset. "I'm looking for clues about the Chixiong Hot Spring incident." Narita's permission was given to carry out a secret investigation on Chizuru Mizuki. "Are you still following up on that matter?" "What do you mean by 'return'? This is just the beginning." "Didn't the university teacher say that there is no possibility of suicide? How about enough?" "I'm doing other work too." "Don't worry about that, I have work. There was a brawl at the karaoke hall in Roppongi. Some people were seriously injured, and the injured escaped. Everyone is busy, go help!" "learn." After asking for the detailed location, just after hanging up the phone, a taxi happened to come.Nakaoka raised his hand. Even on the way to the scene, Nakaoka was still thinking about the case of Chikuma Onsen.The more he investigated, the more he felt that it was not a simple accident. The deceased, Yoshiro Mizushiro, was born in a famous family in Chiba, and his father owned several properties.One of them was the advertising industry, which he joined after graduating from Watertown University.He started to get in touch with CM production in the company, which may have something to do with his real career in film.At the age of thirty, Shuicheng set up his own company and produced many films, many of which entered the box office list.Most of the plots and characters of these works were designed by Shuicheng himself, and he also made a fortune in peripheral products and copyrights.Although I don't know the specific situation, in any case, his assets should not be less than 500 million yen. As the old lady of Shuicheng wrote in her letter, he had been married twice, but each time he failed to last for a year.no kids.Until his third marriage two years ago, Yoshiro Mizushiro lived alone in his spacious mansion. Although he failed to build a happy family, he has a lofty status as a filmmaker. He has a pair of insightful eyes and an extremely efficient style of handling things-this is the common opinion of people who know Yoshiro Mizushiro. If he thinks a person has talent, even an unknown young director will be employed; on the contrary, no matter how famous a director is and how brilliant his achievements are, if he judges that this person has nothing new, he will mercilessly abandon him. Lose.Therefore, there are not a few people who are at odds with him, but Shuicheng doesn't take this to heart at all. Even in terms of subject matter, he is uncompromising, dismissing those works that chase fashion, thinking that there is no value for discussion, and once mentioned, it will arouse his fury. I don't know if it's because of this personality, but in the past ten years, there hasn't been any masterpiece in Shuicheng.But Nakaoka heard interesting things from several people in the film industry. Recently, Shuicheng once said that "we want to make a movie that shocks the whole society."No one knows the content of the film, but one director said, "He is not a man of fame and exaggeration. Since he has said so, then there must be something special about the planning of the film." It is such a person who is obsessed with Chisato.He once said that no matter what, he would make her his own woman.And he did.However, Shuicheng doesn't seem to expect to get her love.He commented on his marriage like this: "What she was obsessed with was my wallet, and I bought this woman named Qian Zuodu with money." The key figure, Chisato Mizushiro, was born in Niigata and came to Tokyo after graduating from high school.I started working at clubs in Roppongi, and then moved to Ginza not long after. "RED" is her second store in Ginza, where she continues to use her real name "Rika". Regarding the reason for changing to work in Ginza, the hostess who is as good as Qian Zuo said, "I want to meet a rich old man".Although there are local tyrants in Roppongi, they are basically young people.Qian Zuodu said that young people can't do it. "If it's a young man, I'll be an old woman when he becomes an old man. Isn't it very troublesome for an old man to take care of an old man? Anyway, it's something to take care of, so it's better to take care of him when he's still young. Wait for him Dead, I still have a lot of time to enjoy life. And, I can live happily on the inheritance. Don't you think it's wonderful?" The hostess that Nakaoka contacted said that these words made people feel a strange resonance. I don't know why Qian Zuo has planned her life so extreme. Every time she receives rich single elderly people, she looks very positive.However, she didn't blatantly seduce them with her looks, but she used her words and deeds to attract them as if nothing had happened. In this way, she met Yoshiro Shuicheng.Shuicheng fell in love with Qian Zuodu on the very day of his visit, and has become a frequent visitor ever since.After Qian Zuo has mastered his assets, he also thinks he is an ideal object. After a few months of meeting, the two got married.The news shocked everyone around.But this is the belief that Qian Zuodu has always insisted on, and most employees of "RED" can only admire it in their hearts. However, this kind of thing is not uncommon.There are too many young girls in the world who marry older men in consideration of their financial capabilities.Older husbands are likely to die before their wives. Even if they marry for money, young wives only need to endure until their husbands die. Compared with that, the risk of murder is too high. However, when it comes to Shuicheng Qian Zuodu, there is one fact that cannot be missed.As the old lady Shuicheng said, Yoshiro Shuicheng took out multiple life insurance policies three months before the incident.The person in charge of an insurance company said: "Mr. Shuicheng himself has no interest in this. He just signed the contract because he thought that if something happened to him, the young wife would be too hard." The total amount of insurance benefits exceeds 300 million yen, which is very high.None of the insurance companies had any doubts about the accident. The more Nakaoka checked, the more he felt strange, but he was not sure whether she would be so desperate.Is there any suspicious behavior? He also went to Chixiong Hot Spring.Local police have treated the incident as an accident.A person named Isobe from the environmental protection section of the county hall seems to be preoccupied with how to prevent the accident from happening again. However, the proprietress of the hotel where the Shuicheng couple stayed said something worth listening to. It was his wife Chisato who said he was going to travel to the hot springs, and Yoshiro Mizushiro himself didn't seem to know about Akakuma Onsen. Nakaoka struggles to find the possibility of murder.Even so, a layman like him can imagine that it is impossible to predict when and where the concentration of volcanic gases will increase.So his thoughts turned to methods for making hydrogen sulfide gas.Although Qing Jiang from Taipeng University categorically denied this path, he still did not give up. He couldn't forget the scene where he met Mizushiro Chisato in Chofu's Home for the Elderly. Please investigate until you are satisfied—— she said with a confident smile. Nakaoka was convinced that it was not an innocent face.
