Chapter 38 third quarter
The express "Izumo" departed from Tokyo at 22:30 and arrived in Kyoto at 8:34 the next morning.Although the arrival time is a bit early, when it comes to the last express train out of Tokyo Station, there is only "Izumo".Sleeping in the same sleeper car as Onigan was a newlywed couple who were about to pay homage to Izumo Taisha Shrine. Although the couple's appearance did not make Onikin feel uncomfortable, he still spent a night of light sleep. .
"Izumo" slid onto the fifth platform of Kyoto Station.The stop time was six minutes, so Guiguan could leave the seat without haste, and after giving a blessed look at the happy newlyweds, he got off the train.With his small bag under his arm, he made his way through the crowd to the flyover and finally across the ticket gate.
During the war, when Onitsuke got off the train at Kyoto Station, he was constantly pestered by dirty-looking homeless people gathered in the waiting room to beg for food. This incident left a deep impression on him.After the war, he got off countless times in Kyoto, but until now, he still remembers the tragic scene at that time.Even if he was standing in the central hall where many well-dressed Kyoto beauties shuttled back and forth, he could still clearly see, like an X-ray perspective, the dark figure of Kyoto Station during the war hidden behind the scenery in the station where people's voices were mixed.Onigan stopped, looked around, found a public phone near the information desk, and called the traffic section of the Kyoto Prefectural Police from there, telling the other party that he had arrived in Kyoto now and would visit after dinner.
The sweltering heat of Kyoto in summer is well-known throughout the country, but perhaps because it was still early and the temperature was not very high, it just avoided the heat.He put on his coat and stood in front of the station, thinking about where to have breakfast.
Kyoto is the capital of food. Every time Onitsuki comes to Kyoto, he will eat Pucha dishes, Sichuan fish dishes that make him smack his lips while eating, and taro sticks in Chion-in Temple that are worth savoring... ...I didn't go home until I felt sick to my stomach.He would voluntarily come to Kyoto for a business trip, and wanting to taste these delicacies is also one of the reasons, but this matter should not be publicized loudly.He secretly made a wish in his heart: If this investigation goes well, he will eat a turtle meal the night before he leaves Kyoto.
But now Guiguan just wants to use some rough food to solve the breakfast problem casually, but it is so early in the morning that even the store of fried tofu udon noodles has not opened yet, so he has no choice but to walk into a nearby cafeteria and eat ordinary sandwiches and black tea that is as weak as boiled water.In Kyoto, which is proud of its sensitive taste and exquisite cuisine, no one puts any effort into this simple cuisine, which is really strange.
After the Onitsuki Police Department finished their meal, they took the city tram bound for Takano in front of the station and got off at Karasuma-Izumi Station.Walking five minutes from the license plate is the location of the prefectural police. The heavy buildings of the prefectural police give people a down-to-earth feeling.It was just after nine o'clock, and the sun had already shone on the white stone steps, hurting the visitor's eyes, and Gui Guan thought it was time to take off his shirt.
The chief police officer of the traffic section was named Isino, a short man in his fifties.When Gui Guan saw him, he suddenly thought of a politician who didn't have a good opinion.Isano and the politician have the same pancake face and fat five-short figure, and even the pair of thin and sharp eyes are exactly the same.Guiguan realized that the moment he saw him, he had an inexplicable stereotype of "this police department should be uneasy".
"After you called me, I went to investigate right away..."
After introducing himself, the other party opened the phone.Guiguan made a long-distance call yesterday and asked him to find out who the owner of "King Wu す (su) 9998" is from the registration information of the car.
"That's the rental car company's car."
"Oh? What's the name and location of the car rental company?" Guiguan Police Department groaned inwardly while asking.
If it was a car for private use, the problem of the Onigan Police Department would be solved.However, it is impossible to predict how many people have rented a car from a car rental company, and if they visit one by one and ask them if they have parked in the place shown in the photo, not only will it take a lot of time and labor, but the cost will also be high. Very tight.But they have already come to Kyoto specially, so we can’t say that it’s too hard, so we shouldn’t go to investigate.and.The biggest characteristic of Guiguan's investigation method is that he never gives up and runs around to the end.However, no matter how persevering he was, the thought of walking to his sore legs in the sweltering heat made him feel tired just thinking about it.
"If you want to take notes, I can talk slowly. It's Tomoe no Koinsuji Hachijo Shitaru (ru) in Toji-cho, Shimogyo-ku. Do you want to visit them directly?"
"Yeah, I can't make it clear on the phone."
"Then look at the street map."
Seeing that the director wanted to show him the map stuck behind his back, Onitsuki spread out the foldable Kyoto map bought at the station sales office and handed it to the director.
"It's right here. As long as you aim for the pagoda of Toji Temple, you should be able to find it quickly. If you get lost along the way, just ask passers-by. Recently, people in Kyoto can speak standard Chinese very well, so there shouldn't be any problems with language barriers. "
Next, the Isano Police Department introduced the most convenient means of transportation to the car rental company.From the fact that the police department instructed Onitsuke to take the public transportation, but did not tell him to take a taxi directly, we can see the common budgetary problems of the police, and the sorrow of the police who have become accustomed to that little budget.Gui Guan suppressed the wry smile on his face, and solemnly thanked the police department.
