Chapter 26 Chapter Twelve

The East Criminal Police was very interested in the fact that Miyako Shibamura disappeared without a sound on the roof of the hotel in Kyoto on the night of the 16th while Shinkichi Sone was concentrating on watching the flames of the large characters. "Sometimes I accompany my wife to the street, and when she goes shopping alone, I suddenly feel that she might just go away and never come back. Do modern people often have this kind of uneasy consciousness?" Dong Detective said to Shindai Detective . "Maybe, you like to read novels, so you think this way even more. I don't understand how Miyako left Shinkichi Sone without saying a word when he was watching the flames on the roof of the hotel? It can't be that he was abducted by a violent group; Shinkichi Sone also said, If she met someone she knew in common, she would definitely come back afterwards. That's for sure. Why didn't she come back to her lover? The key to the puzzle seems to be here."

"What's the reason why she can't go back to her lover?" Dong Detective said, looking at the approaching Manazuru Station. Two young men and a woman passed by on the road. When the East Criminal Police saw them, they suddenly said "Ah!".What did God ask him?He thought for a moment in silence, and replied: "Mr. Jindai, Miyako couldn't speak to Shinkichi Sone, probably because her husband Shibamura appeared on the roof of the hotel at that time." "what?" "I think that there is no other reason for Miyako's disappearance than Shibamura's appearance. Her husband appeared in front of her. Of course, Miyako couldn't talk to her lover next to her. Because she told her husband that she was traveling to Nara for her class reunion. .Of course she can argue that she came from Nara to Kyoto to watch the big text ignite. However, Shibamura's friend Shinkichi Sone was also there, so she couldn't tell the difference. Miyako had to leave the roof with her husband in order not to let her husband find out the existence of Shinkichi Sone Bar!"

The East Criminal Police became more and more excited about his thoughts. "At that time, the lights on the roof had been turned off, and Miyako took advantage of this moment of darkness to leave, while Shinkichi Sone was attracted by the climax of the big characters, so he may not have noticed what happened behind him." "Well... not bad." Jindai's expression seemed to feel that the words of East Criminal Police were not unreasonable. —Yes, it is possible.Miyako certainly didn't want her husband to catch her infidelity on the spot, and she couldn't say that she lived alone in the hotel.She had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened, and left the hotel with her husband.It was easy for Shibamura to take his wife out of the hotel, because the hotel clerk also testified that there were many people watching the big characters that day.So when the hotel guest went out with other men, of course they wouldn't find out, the hotel didn't know the reason for her going out.

However, can Shibamura appear on the roof of a hotel in Kyoto at that time?Shibamura should be in a distant sea yacht. "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it doesn't match the facts." Although Jindai felt the same about the East Criminal Police's thoughts, he had to point out the facts. "Because Shibamura was driving a yacht at the time, on the sea from Miyakejima to Oilpot." It was an unshakable fact that Shibamura was sailing on dark seas at that time. "Yes, that's the problem." Police Dong also said with a disappointed expression, "If it weren't for this, my imagination would be full of reality."

"I think so too." The taxi turns the road, and Hakone's outer ring mountain towers high behind the urban area. "Mr. Jindai, unless Shibamura has wings like those birds, it is absolutely impossible to fly from a yacht on the sea to the roof of a hotel in Kyoto." The East detective looked at the sparrows flying in groups in the distance and said. Kamito didn't answer, just meditating silently. Because Shibamura was on the yacht, he couldn't go to Kyoto.Because of this, it is assumed that Shibamura sent someone to lure Miyako off the roof of the hotel.But this is impossible, since Miyako's actions on the roof vetoed this assumption.If it were Shibamura's agent, Miyako would definitely consult with Shinkichi Sone.Even if I can't speak in front of the agent, I will contact him afterwards or go back to the room.The agent is not as scary as the person himself, and it is easy to find gaps.

The fact that Miyako cannot tell her lover a word is the point that cannot be understood, unless her husband Shibamura himself appears in front of her, otherwise it is impossible. However, as the East Criminal Police said, Shibamura on a yacht sailing overseas must fly like a bird, otherwise this hypothesis cannot be established. ——Then, are you using an airplane? The Age of Gods meditated. The two of them went to Atami, entered the tourist service center at the station, and investigated the domestic flight schedule of ANA. The Miyakejima Line departs from Haneda Airport every day. It departs from Haneda Airport at 2:20 pm and arrives at Miyakejima at 3:00.The flight stopped at Miyakejima for half an hour, left at 3:30, and returned to Haneda Airport at 4:20.

Assume that Shibamura's ship docks at Miyakejima, lands, and takes a 3:30 plane to Haneda Airport.But at 3:30 in the afternoon, the yacht Seabird he was driving had circled Miyake Island for half a circle and reached the sea east of Kozu Island in the north. If the yachts participating in the competition must dock at Miyake Island, it is conceivable that Shibamura went ashore alone and let Goro Ueda drive the boat back to the oil pot alone. ——Kindai took out the notebook to read, and briefly recorded the news he inquired about.Yacht racing sources have this to say: ——In this race, there is no need to stop at Miyake Island, but to sail along the island for half a week and return to the oil pot.In some competitions, it is necessary to collect certificates at the turning point, but this competition respects the personality of the players, and it is a gentleman's agreement that this procedure is not required.

"What if only Shibamura's ship docked at Miyakejima, and he went ashore alone, and took the 3:30 p.m. flight to Haneda? From Haneda and then transfer to Kyoto. This is also a feasible way." On the tram to Tokyo , said East Criminal Police. "But there are also difficulties, because there is Ueda on board, and he cannot be left on board. Shibamura will go ashore on Miyake Island alone. Unless Shibamura buys Ueda." As Jindai said, he suddenly realized "ah" to his own words.The Eastern Criminal Police also called out at the same time. "Shibamura enlisted Ueda, right? That's why Ueda was hit by a sail and fell into the sea afterward. In fact, he was murdered by Shibamura, right?"

Accidents where the mast turns over can also happen artificially, right?It is usually caused by the sails being blown by strong winds when the ship changes direction suddenly.In other words, it was a mistake in steering. Since the reason lies in a mistake in steering, then this mistake can be intentional! According to the Yachting Club's director general, Shibamura has a pretty good craft.Therefore, Shibamura made Ueda Goro look like an accident, and was knocked into the sea by the sail pole. The fact that Shibamura landed on Miyake Island can be hidden from the world forever. Detective Dong told Detective Shindai what he thought, and Shindai felt the same way, but he had other questions.

"Tou-kun, your conjecture is very good. However, assuming that Shibamura went ashore on Miyake Island alone, and Ueda sailed to the oil pot alone on the Sea Bird, but Shibamura took a plane from Miyake Island to Haneda, and then transferred to Kyoto. No problem. But why is Shibamura able to be on board the Yacht Seabird returning to Oil Pot Port? Unless Shibamura can perform magic tricks, it is impossible." "Well, that's right..." Dong Detective, who was excited about his own thoughts, held his head and pondered again. "Also, how did Shibamura allow the boat to approach Miyake Island, which does not have to dock during the race? This is also a puzzling question."

"Yes, not bad." "Dongjun, anyway, we can only solve the problems that are easy to solve step by step according to the problems we are facing now. It is too difficult to solve all of them at once, and it is easy to disperse." "So, what to do? Where to start?" "I request the search section chief to send a plane to Miyake Island."
