Chapter 16 Section five

After the two left Towa Textile's head office, they took the subway to Asakusa along the way they had just come.There was no room left in the car, so they stood directly under the fan. "Who is Zhiduo Banping, a shamanist?" Guan was finally able to ask the question he had wanted to ask very much since just now.The Minister of Interpol replied in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was incredible that he could still hear it clearly despite the interference from the noise of the tram. "Shamanism absorbed a wandering magician named Keiichi Owase in order to deceive believers. But as the number of believers increased, the relationship between Owase and the ancestor gradually broke. This is a common thing. So far That's fine, but last spring, Owase's body was found floating in Tokyo Bay."

"I remembered. I remember finding it on the ferry to Kisarazu, right?" "That's right. After many investigations, this knowledge probably came to the surface. But there are believers who testified: Zhita was at the headquarters at the time of the incident, so we couldn't take action against him." "Is that testimony true?" "It should be perjury. But every witness is a so-called fanatical believer, and they are not afraid of being punished by the law for perjury. They all firmly believe that for God, perjury is right, and there is nothing we can do about it."

When the tram entered the platform, the two stopped temporarily, and when the train started and the voices on the train were noisy, they started the conversation again. "This is what happened last year. In summer and autumn, shamanists were killed in Meguro and Nerima. What they have in common is not only believers, but also people who plan to leave shamanism. One of them donated A lot of money is given to the church, that is, the kind of rich man who is regarded as a cash cow, and the other is a branch minister. They are different from ordinary believers. If they leave the church, they will bring some negative effects to shamanism. The church may have used both soft and hard methods against them. They were asked not to leave the church, but they refused to listen to the advice and insisted on quitting, so the church had to resort to iron fists to make an example of others."

"It's too much." "Both of these two cases have set up a search headquarters in the police station in the jurisdiction, and I was also sent to Nerima's. Unfortunately, after the investigation of the two cases found that Chita Hanping may be involved in the crime, they ended without a problem." "Dealing with religious groups is the most difficult thing." "Zhita used to work in a secret service before, so he is naturally good at finding out other people's secrets to intimidate them, and concealing his whereabouts is his specialty. It would be troublesome if he was the one responsible for the Nishi-no-hata case, but this time I will definitely let him He knows how good the police are."

Sudou said half-jokingly, but Seki noticed an unusual gleam in his eyes. After returning to the headquarters, the reporters who had gathered here before had left, and in the empty office, only the chief police officer was sitting there. "While you were away, two or three reports came." As he spoke, he poured cold barley tea for guests into the cup. "The train that moved the deceased's body on the roof was found. It was a second- and third-class ordinary train bound for Aomori at 23:40 at Ueno Station. Please check the results of the investigation by the local university research office to confirm that there is The blood of the West Banner."

"Local means?" "Sendai. The blood on the roof of the train was found at a station called Shiraishi." "Baishi... I seem to have heard this name somewhere." "Shiraishi is in Miyagi Prefecture. It is a rural city on a plain, but a whole row of modern modern apartments has been built on the hill behind the station. I was so surprised when I saw it." The director explained to the two, recalling what he had seen and heard during his business trip there this spring. "In this way, the time of the crime can be locked." "That's right, the murderer may have started the crime before the train passed by. The time of the crime should be 11:40. Although the forensic doctor said that the deceased should have died immediately based on the injuries on the deceased's body, even if he did not die immediately, he would not survive. Five minutes, because the force of the impact when it falls on the roof of the train can seriously injure a person."

"Any findings from the autopsy at the Superintendent's Hospital?" "The time of death was around twelve o'clock." The minister made a loud noise while drinking barley tea.This barley tea is not only ice-cold, but also has a sweet taste.He didn't know how to drink, and it was better than beer for his thirsty throat after running around. "Also, the Hayashida group found the deceased's shoe. That shoe is a pair with the shoe on the corpse's right foot, so it should belong to the deceased, but just to be careful, I'd like to invite a servant from the Nishinohata family to come over. verified."

"Where did you find it?" "Between Uguisudani and Nippori. It was discovered by the road maintenance personnel of the engineering section during the construction of the Northeast Line Railway. They kept the shoes. By the way, did you find anything?" Director Xuan of the police department poured the tea-colored liquid into the teacup while looking at the faces of the other two.
