Chapter 12 first quarter
It was around eleven o'clock when it was confirmed that the blood stain on the land bridge belonged to President Nishi-no-hata.After Kosuke Nishinohata was killed there, did the murderer throw his body down there?Or did he jump from there himself in order to avoid the murderer's pursuit?Although this part cannot be easily determined, it is conceivable that Nishinohata's body should have fallen on the train passing directly below the crime scene, and then it was transported to Kuki Station in Saitama Prefecture.
After noon that day, a search headquarters was set up on the second floor of the Ueno Department, and eight hours had passed since the body was discovered.Even if it is deliberately forced, the search of this case did not start well. It was originally planned to set up the search headquarters in the Omiya Office to facilitate the investigation with the Saitama Prefectural Police. bridge, so the search headquarters was changed to the Ueno Department.
The interrogation and evidence collection were carried out by two teams of criminal police sent by the department and the criminal police of the jurisdiction. The one who went to the Towa Textile Headquarters in the west of Ginza was the veteran criminal police officer Sudou who had been in the industry for 25 years, and just last year. Kwan Interpol, who was appointed as a criminal police officer.Matching veterans and rookies is one of the criteria for forming a partner.The reason for such regulations is to take advantage of this opportunity so that novice criminal police can directly receive practical guidance from experienced seniors.
"Please take care of me in the future." The rookie bowed and said hello at the beginning.
"Oh." The police officer only replied, instead of bowing, he raised his head and chest.
If ordinary people did this, they would only think that person was arrogant, but Seki didn't feel unhappy at all, because Sudou's tanned face and drooping eyes made the detective look very friendly.Under the nose of the chief detective, there is a small beard that looks like it was painted with the tip of a pen. This beard makes him look like an old man in Shitamachi who is easy to get along with.
It took the police nearly fifteen minutes to assemble nine teams of partners to complete the formation of the search team.Afterwards, eighteen criminal policemen accepted the instructions of the section chief, and each went in the locked direction to arrest the murderer.The goal of some search teams is to go to the scene to investigate, while others are looking for the leftovers of the murderer or the deceased. Sudou and Seki took the subway at Ueno Station and headed towards Ginza.Only the criminal police in movies or TV dramas can take a taxi to the scene in such a situation. In fact, the criminal police don’t often take a taxi. It’s more correct to say that they can’t take a taxi because of limited investigation funds. .
The two took the subway to Ginza 4-chome, walked to Sukiyabashi under the crowd of people, and turned left at the intersection.A few years ago, there was a radio drama that made housewives burst into tears, using Sukiyabashi as the stage.The current Sukiyabashi bridge disappeared without a trace after the moat was filled up.
"Being impermanent." Guan put his emotion into words, but the noise of the tram seemed to make it difficult for the other party to hear what he said.
"What did you say? Shepherd's purse?" The police minister loudly publicized his misunderstanding, and the office worker girl who passed by him looked at the two with a surprised expression.
Donghe Textile is right next to the parking lot. As soon as you enter the hall, you can see the counter lady sitting there.Normally, there should be a well-trained and friendly smile on her face, but now that the boss of the company has died tragically, it's no wonder her expression is so stiff.
The two sat on the sofa next to the elevator according to her instructions. At this moment, a man dressed like he was about forty years old and of Zhongguang figure approached them.His clothes look like office workers in Ginza, but they have a slightly kitschy feel.He claimed to be the president's secretary Hui Yuan Meng, and brought the two to his office.
"Would you like a cigarette?"
After introducing each other, the secretary said kindly.Although he spoke standard Chinese, he still couldn't get rid of his strong northeast accent.
"No, I have it myself, so don't bother you."
The minister of criminal police simply declined the other party's kindness, took out a cigarette case whose gold plating had peeled off, lit it and smoked a cigarette, and then asked the other party to assist in the investigation of the murder case of President Nishinohata in a gentle tone.
"Do you know anyone who wants to kill the president? Please tell me if you know."
"Yes. And there are not one but three people who want to kill him."
The secretary said briskly.Judging from his reaction, he seems to have prepared for this issue.
"Who is with whom?"
"They are called Yoshio Konokubo and Shusaku Narumi, and they are the chairmen and vice chairmen of our company's labor union. As you may know, the labor disputes in our company have not stopped in the past one and a half months. During the group negotiation on the 30th, The result has been roughly determined, our management has accepted half of the four demands put forward by the trade union, and finally led the matter to a reconciliation situation.”
The minister criminal nodded silently.
"The company accepted half of what they asked for. On the surface it looked like a five-to-five tie, but in reality it represented a defeat for the union."
The secretary looked at the faces of the two detectives alternately, as if observing their expressions.
"I think you should have read the demands of the trade unions in newspapers or magazines, right? They have four demands, which are salary increases, the establishment of a pension system, and the other is what they call the protection of basic human rights."
The two also had a rough understanding of the matter.The strangest of all union demands is the abolition of inspection of private letters.According to the description in the weekly magazine, when the female employees living in the company's dormitory receive letters from outside, the dormitory supervisor will open each letter and check it.The act of opening the letter has clearly violated the law. The obsolete concept of President Nishi-no-hata who ordered the dorm supervisor to do such a thing, as well as the ignorance of the employees who have obeyed this improper behavior until now, have been severely criticized by society.
"At the last group consultation the day before yesterday, among the four items they mentioned, the company only accepted the abolition of private letter inspection and religious freedom. The union cadres also agreed with this method. They will hold a union meeting after returning to the factory. After listening to everyone's opinions, decide whether to accept it or not. It took us a long time to get to this point, but, Mr. Criminal Police, the two things they most hoped for, salary increase and pension, have been rejected by the company. The result of the strike is equal to zero. There is a saying that it is anticlimactic, and their results are not even comparable to the tail of a mouse."
"But didn't they achieve the two results of private letter inspection and freedom of belief?"
"No, your idea is wrong."
The secretary immediately refuted the minister's statement.His manner of speaking was somewhat garrulous, but he was quite eloquent.
"The company has never opened the personal letters of the employees. It is a baseless slander. It emphasizes that the president has done something inhumane, or that there is also a 'female worker's sad history' happening here. They are just trying to get the world's attention Sympathy, the tearjerker that was created. The company got nothing for them by accepting a request that was nonsense in the first place.”
It was the first time the two detectives had heard of such a thing.I didn't expect that there was such a method in the labor dispute... The two were amazed.
"In terms of freedom of belief, the company has also been greatly misunderstood. As long as you are a person, you should want a spiritual belonging. The president loves his employees just like his own children, so he wants to guide them into his own life. I believe in religion, and share the joy of living and working with them. But they didn’t appreciate it, and said that they would rather play pachinko than worship God. The president originally had good intentions, but after hearing these words, he wanted to say that forcing them would not That's great, so I agreed to the union's request. For the company, this is not a problem at all, but as far as the union is concerned, they only fulfilled two demands without any real benefits."
"I see."
"At the meeting, the president gave an ultimatum—since the company accepts your two requests, you have to cancel the other two, otherwise the company will stop working. In fact, the president should have done this long ago, but he didn't The failure to carry out this matter is not only because of the sentimentality of the president, but also proves how forbearing he is."
"That's it."
"However, please listen carefully to this place. The only one who shows a tough attitude is the president. That is to say, the president is an independent husband. If you compromise like this, it means the union will lose. The sea will lose face."
The president, who was originally a sentimentalist, suddenly became a hawkish independent husband. Perhaps the secretary was too intoxicated in his exposition, and didn't notice the contradiction between them.
"Lianzhiwa and Narumi dominate the entire trade union, but this is the first time they have launched a strike since they were elected chairman, which means that this action is a touchstone to test their true abilities. Moreover, they criticized their predecessors The cadres are 'yellow unions' to bring them down, so whenever they do something wrong, the faction of the former cadres will laugh at them and criticize them. There are even rumors recently that some of the former cadres are planning to form The second guild. It’s not surprising that Koinokubo and Narumi would kill the president to save themselves, right?”
"So, do the other directors actually feel sympathy for the strike?"
"It's a slip of the tongue to use 'sympathy'."
The secretary showed some displeasure, and said in a corrective tone.
"Their attitude is not as tough as the president, but the chairman and vice chairman of the trade union must have this in mind: as long as the hawkish president is removed, they can get a more favorable result for them. This kind of solution is public It can bring happiness to the members of the trade union, and internally it can prevent them from being ridiculed by the enemy. Because of this, we think that the person who killed the president is probably Koinokubo and Narumi. Moreover, Narumi He also often yelled and said that he wanted to bury the president, such a biased statement."
After speaking, he lit the third cigarette.Haibara was a man with fair skin and delicate skin.Perhaps talking too much made him tired, and a little unnatural blood appeared on his fair face.
