Chapter 23 fourth quarter
Sudeng and Seki Zai congratulated and got off the Tamagawa Tram. The president's residence is located in 4-chome in the northern outskirts.The two detectives were wiping beads of sweat and walked step by step on the dry road. Kosuke Nishinohata, who had a luxury car to go everywhere, probably didn't complain about the inconvenient traffic here.
"This house looks so big." After finally arriving in front of the Nishiwata Mansion, Guan looked at the house number, and then said at the towering wall.
"Because they are capitalists."
As soon as Sudou finished speaking, he was startled too.What he originally wanted to say was "because he is the president", but he couldn't help saying the three words "capitalist".It seems that after talking with Koinokubo and Narumi yesterday evening, I was accidentally influenced by their way of speaking.
Nishinohata's body was transported back to this mansion last night.Haibara said: They will hold a funeral at Honganji Temple this afternoon, and the three cars parked in front of the gate seem to be feeling uneasy.
"Oh, is that man a servant?"
After Guan heard this, he saw that a small door on the wall in the distance opened, and a young woman walked out of the small door onto the road.
"Leave it to me, I'll go and ask her."
After saying that, Sudou strode forward.The woman who seemed to be a servant turned her back to the two of them and walked away quickly. Judging from the clothes she was wearing, she should be going to a nearby store to buy something.
"Please wait a moment." After catching up, Sudou stopped her, "Are you from this room?"
The woman was startled and stopped, looked at the criminal policemen suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
Instead of answering, she threw back a question, with a questioning tone in her words.She is the kind of woman who is often seen among the servants of big mansions, relying on the master's wealth, and pretending to be a tiger, a self-important woman.
"Ah, I thought you were journalists."
After knowing that the other party was a criminal policeman, the suspicious expression disappeared, replaced by a vigilant expression.
"The night before yesterday, when your wife was going out, she dropped a handbag, right? The person who witnessed the incident picked up the bag and wanted to stop the lady, but she didn't seem to hear it, and summoned one The taxi left, and the man had no choice but to hand the bag to the police station..."
The woman turned her eyes to Guan Guan as if probing, and then turned back to the minister, with a look of suspicion and contempt on her face.
"There must be something wrong with this."
"why?"
"Because Madam was at home all the time."
"However, someone actually picked up the handbag and sent it to the police station."
"But..." The woman's lips twisted and she looked at the two of them alternately.The contortion of the lips made the cheeks cramp, and it looked like he was sneering at the two detectives.
"Madam's feet are bad, and she can't go out at all. In the past one or two years, she can't walk around at all."
She seemed to have seen through Sudou's lie, and although her tone was steady, her tone was ridiculed.
"Really? Which doctor did she see?"
"It's Dr. Wakao. I'm leaving first."
The woman quickly left a word and left without looking back, feeling quite annoying.However, a pair of curvaceous jade legs were exposed under her cotton plaid skirt. Whether a woman's personality is good or bad is not the point, the point is that these legs are indeed stunning.
"Shown!" When the opponent disappeared around the corner of the wall, Sudou said with a smile: "She has completely seen through my real purpose."
"Women have a strong sixth sense. But is it true that Mrs. Nishiwata cannot leave?"
"Let's go meet that doctor. She said it was Dr. Wakao, right?"
"I'll ask the guy at the cigarette shop."
Guan remembers passing a cigarette shop on the way here, just as he ran out of cigarettes.So he turned back and walked about a hundred meters, bought cigarettes at the store, and returned to Sudou's side soon after.
"Just go a little further. I heard that he is a famous doctor."
The two chose to walk where the sidewalk was shaded by trees.I didn't feel much when I stayed in the bank, but as the sun became stronger and stronger, the temperature rose higher and higher, becoming as hot as midsummer, and the two of them kept using fans and handkerchiefs alternately.
"It's my first time going to Joetsu. I don't know if it's cooler than Tokyo."
"Hopefully, I don't really know."
"Me too, I've never been north of Takasaki."
Guan said, his mind galloping in the unknown land.He will take the last train to Naoetsu tonight.
The purpose of Interpol Guan's business trip this time is to meet the captain of the "Sea of Japan".After inquiring about the National Railways, the conductor got off the train he was on duty for, and after resting in Osaka, he boarded the downbound "Nippon Sea" train on the 3rd of the next day.Seki then went to Naoetsu to wait for the "Sea of Japan" train to arrive at the station, and interrogated the train captain regarding the alibi proposed by the chairman and vice chairman.
They chatted about the business trip while walking, and they arrived in front of Ruowei Hospital in a short while.Wakao Hospital is very large for a privately run hospital, and even has a magnificent porch in front of the gate.The standing signboard, painted with white paint, shines under the sunlight at noon in early summer, showing the sense of cleanliness that a hospital should have.From the text written on the signboard, we can know that the hospital is divided into internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and otolaryngology, and three doctors are in charge of consultation.A baby carriage was parked at the entrance, and from the examination room inside, there was a loud cry of a baby like burning buttocks.
Sudou explained his purpose at the window of the counter. The nurse seemed to be very clear about the patient's affairs. Hearing Sudou's words, he answered them, "The doctor in charge of that lady is the dean", and brought them to the waiting room. , and the nurse quickly disappeared at the other end of the door.Four or five patients each took a movie magazine and lazily flipped through it.
After the patient's diagnosis and treatment came to an end, the criminal police were brought into the examination room.The old doctor, who was facing the table and reading the medical records, closed the medical records and looked at them.His white beard under his nose was cut very short, and he looked like a very temperamental doctor.After Sudou revealed his identity again, he asked. He didn't touch anything related to the case. He only said that because of the investigation, he wanted to ask Mrs. Nishi-no-hata if she could walk.
"She can't walk." The old doctor denied it flatly. "She suffers from chronic sciatica, which is caused by a certain virus infection. If it is found early, it can be saved, but now there is no cure, except for the passive treatment of pain relief. , can be said to be helpless.”
Although the doctor used the vague term "some kind of virus", it must have been syphilis that caused her illness.Judging from the fact that Nishi no Hata likes to be merciful everywhere, the wife should have been infected by her husband.Her husband caused her to suffer from chronic neuralgia, but he still wanted to cut her due inheritance... Sudou could imagine that lady's reluctance.But suffering from sciatica, on the contrary, cleared her suspicion.
The two thanked and walked out of the hospital, this time the stroller was gone.
