Chapter 58 Section VII

However, Dana couldn't imagine that Dasangdai would carry a clock with her. Even if she had worn a watch, would she remember the time of arrival and departure when she passed a station on the way?This is bad. "My luck is not bad...Of course, she doesn't remember the exact time, but she remembers that she ate bento at noon. This is the same as what we say 'the most memorable thing you can't eat' Wonderful. The two middle-aged couples bought bamboo leaf candy about an hour before lunch, so we can speculate that the time when the train stops at Yuzawa should be around 11:00 in the morning. Let’s take a look at the timetable. "

After the Onitsuki police department finished speaking, they opened the page on the Joetsu Line and the descending line in a familiar way. After finding Echigo Yuzawa, they began to look for it on the side (please refer to the train timetable ⑷). This route is different from the Tokaido Main Line. There are not many trains passing by. Therefore, there are only twelve downbound trains that stop at this station, and it takes an average of two hours to have one train. He found what he was looking for, that is, train No. 729, which stopped at various stations in Nagaoka at 11:02.Before it is the ordinary train at 8:50, and after it is the express train "Sado" at 12:47. Neither of these two trains meets the conditions for arriving at the station around 11:00. .

Dana left his seat, walked around the table, and sat next to Guiguan Police Department, leaning head to head with Guiguan, staring at the timetable together. "Look, I found it. It's the 729 train that left Yuzawa at 11:02. It must be this one." "You are right, the time difference of other trains is too great." The finger of the Onitsuki Police Department went down the column of train No. 729, and stopped at the arrival time of Nagaoka Station, which was 12:56. "Chita Banping was killed between 2:15 and 30." "That's right, from fourteen fifteen to fourteen thirty."

"So, for Mrs. Hishinuma, who arrived in Nagaoka at 12:56, there is plenty of time for the crime." "That's right." Dana also nodded in agreement. Chita left the "OKESA" hotel at 12:30, so the two must have made an appointment in advance to meet somewhere.Zhiduo wanted to get his own blackmail money, but Wen Jiang wanted to take Zhiduo's life... "But, what was Dasangdai doing at that time? Wen Jiang couldn't possibly take her with him, right?" "According to Dasangdai, Wen Jiang took her to a hotel in the city and said to her: 'You must be very tired, take a leisurely bath here and take a breath.' Then, let her alone Rest there. However, if Mrs. Hishinuma is really taking the Shinkoshi Line as she said, then it should be already evening when she arrived at Nagaoka. But if it is via the Joetsu Line, as we just found out , It will probably arrive after noon. No matter how bad Dasangdai’s memory is, he will still remember whether he arrived there after noon or evening. If I investigate the arrival time from the beginning, I should be able to see through this trick sooner.”

Onigiri Police Department's voice sounded a little out of tune, probably because he was smiling wryly at how stupid he was.However, when his fingers moved along the same column to the top train No. 729 departing from Ueno, he returned to his original energetic voice. "Dana, look at the departure time, it's five fifty." "That's it." "What's the matter? Wen Jiang claimed that they were taking train No. 311 on the Shin-Etsu Main Line at that time, and the time of 5:50 was also the departure time of this train." Onitsuke Police Department finished speaking in an excited tone, and after turning over the page on the Shin-Etsu Main Line going down, pointed out the departure time of train No. 311 with your fingers (please refer to the train timetable ⑶).Indeed, the departure time of train 311 is the same as that of train 729 on the Joetsu Line at 5:50. That is to say, train 311 on the Shin-Etsu Main Line and train 729 on the Joetsu Line depart from Ueno Station at the same time. , Departing in the same direction (please refer to the train timetable ⑶, train timetable ⑷).

But even so, Dana still couldn't understand the meaning of Gui Guan's words. "This is a very important discovery. Train No. 311 on the Shin-Etsu Main Line and Train No. 729 on the Joetsu Line cannot depart from the Ueno Line at the same time. Needless to say, the reason is because there is only one track." Onitsuke Police Department explained impatiently road. "That is to say, train 311 and train 729 are connected together when they depart from Ueno Station. More clearly, train 311 passing through Shinshu and train 729 passing through Shangshu are connected at the time of departure. The same locomotive is pulled by the same locomotive, and it is the same before reaching Takasaki Station, the divergence point of the two lines. Therefore, between Ueno and Takasaki, it is impossible to tell which is the 311 train and which is the train from the outside. 729, if you don't read the signs on the platforms."

"Thus……" "That's right, Mrs. Hishinuma advertised that she was going to Nagaoka on train No. 311 of the Shin-Etsu Main Line, but in fact she got into the compartment of train No. 729. The female college student who came here with a suitcase had no idea of ​​her intentions." , Therefore, I thought that Mrs. Hishinuma was taking the 311 train. If I didn't compare it with the timetable of the crossing line, I wouldn't have discovered this scam." After hearing this, Dana wrinkled his nose and showed an embarrassed expression.Because he obviously also opened and looked at the timetables of both parties, but he didn't find out about this before Guiguan explained.

Suddenly, he had an idea and gave Guiguan a carbine back. "Before they get on the train, that is, when they are walking on the platform, what should a female college student do if she sees a sign like 'via the Shinetsu Line' or 'walk on the Cross Line'? There is no way to guarantee that she will not see it. ?” The Onitsuke Police Department stroked his chin and replied: "Actually, there is another way. With the female college student watching, she may first board the car on the Shinkoshi line, and then move to the car on the line." Onigiri Police Department paused for a moment and continued.

"I forgot to tell you. When Mrs. Hishinuma hired housekeepers and students, she set the conditions for people who don't like to travel, and people who rarely travel. She did this to prevent the students from seeing through her intentions. Bar." He poured himself a cup of lukewarm tea to moisten his throat, and then slowly said: "We have made a step forward. Without denying the testimony of the female college student, we discovered that Mrs. Hishinuma went to Nagaoka via the Joetsu Line. Possibility. The next thing that needs to be examined is the testimony of Captain Matsuno. We have to solve the mystery that Mrs. Hishinuma was on the 311 train he was on duty on June 14."

Onigan Police Department stamped the timetable, and turned its upper body to Dana.Even though it is night now, the sweltering heat still does not diminish its power. Both of their faces are covered with sweat and oil, and their eyes are shining brightly on their sticky faces. "According to the reasons I just mentioned, I think it is impossible for Captain Matsuno to distort the facts to testify. In this way, it can only be inferred that she, who was already in Nagaoka, used some method to catch up with Masaoka. Nagaoka's No. 311 train, and appeared in the conductor's room of that train."

"So, the loss of the album at Kashiwazaki Station is just an excuse, right?" "That's right, the reason why she mentioned the small prop of seal book should have two purposes. The first is to cover up the unnaturalness of deliberately choosing the Shin-Etsu Main Line train when going to Nagaoka, and let herself take a long way. She appeared in the commander's room on the grounds that she lost her seal book, and naturally forged her alibi." Dan Na felt very unwilling. He had completely fallen into Wen Jiang's trap, so he was confused by the collection of seals that might not exist at all, and could not see through the truth. "In Nagaoka, she has to catch up with train No. 311, so she should not be able to charter a car or take a free ride in a truck. If she does, her appearance will definitely be remembered." Dana said. "Especially because she's so beautiful. So in the end, the only option she had was the train. To be more specific, it was the Shin-Etsu Main Line up train departing from Nagaoka Station, or Kita-Nagaoka Station, which was probably close to the scene of the crime. .” "I'll look for it." Dana quickly picked up the timetable.The unwillingness to be played by Wen Jiang in the palm of the stock made him make up his mind to solve this last problem by himself. "You don't need to be in such a hurry. Eligible up trains won't run away. Let's not talk about this, do you want to have dinner together? In order to wish our victory, it's up to you to choose what to eat for dinner. Your stomach You should have recovered, right?" The Oniguki Police Department, which had been serious until just now, is now smiling.Dana thought, when his eyes smiled, they felt twice as gentle as anyone else's. "Then I'm sorry to make you spend money." "What do you want to eat?" Dana was hungry.He originally planned to go home and eat the dishes made by his wife, but when he heard that someone was going to treat him, his hunger suddenly surged up like a huge wave, as if a big hole had been broken in the bottom of his stomach. "It's time to eat beef risotto..." "It's not the cafeteria of the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm talking about the things sold in the shops outside. How about eating eel rice?" "Okay, this is it." Dana licked his lips lightly. After ordering food by phone, Onigan Police Department suddenly remembered something, reached into his pocket and took out the medicine bag, and put it in front of Dana who was full of surprise. "What is this painkiller?" He put the white medicine bag on the palm of his hand and stared at the ghost. "I found out from this post that Wen Jiang forged his alibi when President Nishiwata was killed." Oniguan Police Department started with this incident and told Dana about his experiment in the Salvation Church.Dana leaned forward to listen, again forgetting the feeling of hunger. "As you said, there must be something inside." After finishing speaking, Dana showed a pensive look.Wenjiang repeats his old trick, and uses the trick he used against Matsuno on the 311 train to Fanzu Pharmacy.She intentionally impresses others so that she can be exonerated if needed later.Wen Jiang's attempt is like looking at transparent glass, which can be seen through at a glance. However, it is not enough to speculate that this must be a false alibi, how to decipher this false alibi is the problem, which even Guiguan is not sure about. "Danna, I really want to know what that fat voice actor found out and perceived. What basis does he have to conclude that our investigation is fundamentally wrong? I really want to ask him ’” said the ghost police department. "Police—" "He probably saw some important facts from the poor man Narayama who was the president's stand-in. I hope he can recover soon and accept our interrogation." "Ghost police department." Dana said again in an impatient voice. "I've been wanting to tell you about this ever since." "What is this?" "About an hour ago, the hospital called." "Hospital?" "Yes, Murase is dead." "He? Dead? Oops!" After the Oniguan Police Department called out, it immediately fell silent. Hisashinuma Fumie's long-time alibi has a chance to be cracked, but the key to unlocking the mystery of the president's murder has now flown to a place that Oni Kan can never reach.
