Tatsuo Akizaki accompanied the old man Dairokuro Kato on the train going north.Get off at Mizunami Station on the Central Line at 12:04. Arrived at Yansu in the middle of the night yesterday and stayed there overnight.If you go to Shangguan to visit the hot springs, you will not be able to catch up with this train.Originally promised the old man to take a hot spring bath, he had to go back when he came back, so he went straight to Ruilang.I got off the train very late last night, and caught the early train today. Although the old man was not very happy, he hadn't taken the train for a long time, and he was very interested and full of energy. He didn't look like a seventy-year-old man at all.

They walked out of the ticket gate, and Tamura walked over with a big swagger. "Hello!" The two held out their hands at the same time. "Did you see the telegram?" Long Xiong asked immediately. "I saw it, I came here after seeing it." Tian Cun was very excited, and when he turned around, there were still three people Long Xiong didn't know standing behind him. "They're all from our agency, from the special investigation team." Tamura gave a brief introduction.When he saw the old man behind Long Xiong, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"It's the birthplace of Kenkichi Kurochi, in Haruno Village, Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture." Tatsuo said.Tamura was baffled. "It belongs to Kenji Kurochi..." "Well, you'll find out later." Long Xiong first put the old man on a chair in the waiting room to rest.Immediately walked up to "Tian Cun and asked: "How is it? What kind of medicine did Tanjung buy? Did you find out?" "I found out. I arrived in Ise City early yesterday morning, and several people went to investigate separately." Tian Cun gave the notebook to Longhua.Zhouji purchased a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate.

"This is an industrial product, and most people don't need it. Buying these two things alone is very eye-catching, so I bought toys, plates, brooms, etc. to attract people's attention. He bought them indiscriminately, and others thought he was insane. In fact , It is precisely to make people think that he is crazy, so he did this." When Longhua said this, Tamura asked again: "Then what are concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate used for?" "It is used to deal with the hanged corpse by the Qingmu Lake." Tamura and the other three reporters all looked at Longxiong.

"Let me start with the end of the matter. The hanged body is the Black Duchess." "What did you say?" Tamura's eyes widened in shock.How is this possible?He always thought that the corpse was some irrelevant person, who was used as a substitute to black him Jianji.But Long Hua's opinion was just the opposite, and he concluded that the corpse was Hei Di himself.No wonder Tamura was dumbfounded. "Let me start from the beginning again. The person who dressed up as a lawyer in the marsh, wore a cuckold, and climbed up the ancient wooden mountain was probably Kenkichi Kuroike. At that time, the lawyer was forced to eat weed poison and tongcao seeds, somewhere. When they were about to starve to death. In order to create the illusion that the lawyer died on the mountain, they tried to let a third party see the lawyer went up the mountain alive. It was Kenkichi Kuroike who pretended to be a lawyer. The witnesses only saw the color of the clothes, not Remember the faces of the dead. ——They did it beautifully." Long Hua explained his speculations one by one.

"Of course, this was planned by Funabao Hideaki. The lawyer himself was on the verge of death. They probably took advantage of the darkness to transport the lawyer up the mountain in a car on Daping Street where no one passed by, and then threw him to the scene from Kiso Peak. The next day there was a typhoon and the temperature dropped again, the poor Shionuma lawyer finally died on the mountain.” "I understand all of this. What I don't understand is that these things happened a month ago, and the corpse that turned into white bones, if it was Kenkichi Kurochi, he would have died five months ago."

"These medicines can solve this mystery." Long Hua pointed to the name of the medicine on the notepad and said, "If you mix concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate together, it can become a solution with extremely strong solubility. Glucose can be reduced to reduce the solubility, and then add an appropriate amount of water, the solution will be thinner, and can be used to make leather. The mixed solution of these two acids, commonly known as concentrated chromic sulfuric acid, soaked in it, any organic matter can be dissolved .If you pour this solution in a tub-sized container and soak the body in it, it will dissolve overnight."

"Oh, that hanged corpse turned into bones..." Tamura covered his mouth with his hand and exclaimed. "That's right. After Heidi Jianyu was killed, he sank into the chromium sulfuric acid pool. For about four or five hours, there was still some rotten flesh on the corpse. It looked like it was rotten, so I fished it out. Rinse the solution with water , put it in a sack, and a group of prisoners took it to the train." "Sacks? Then, the sacks that the old woman said are real!" "Yes, one hand can lift it. It is quite light. The weight is only about one-seventh of the original corpse. During the time when the train is running, it will not stink. For the prisoner, there is nothing worse than this." It's convenient."

Longhua went on to say: "Later, they carried the sack to the mountain and put the body on the spot. They asked for some tricks, wrapped the rotten rope prepared in advance around the neck, and hung a section on the branch, as if it had just fallen. The corpse was found three days later. After three days, the liquid medicine left on the meat had been oxidized by the air, and it was completely decomposed. When it was discovered, it seemed that half a year had passed since the corpse. Even the police doctor did the autopsy. I was deceived, and everyone didn't know the truth." Hearing Long Xiong's words, Tamura's red face became as white as paper, and he asked:

"But why do they still play tricks and bring in a wooden box of electric porcelain bottles?" "That was to convince someone that a dead body was brought in a wooden box from Shangqijin." "Why do you do this? Who is someone?" A bitter expression flashed across Long Xiong's face. "Then I'll tell you later." Tamura stared at Ryūxiong's face and asked again: "Where did you get the idea for chromium sulfate?" "Let's talk about that later." "Okay." Tamura continued to ask, "Why was Kenji the black man killed?"

"Because his real name and surname have been found out, the principal culprit felt that he was in danger, so he killed him and made it look like he committed suicide. The police will no longer pursue him." "That's what happened!" The three reporters have been listening to Long Xiong silently.At this time, a person came in and told Long Xiong: "The task force in Tokyo is about to be disbanded." "Oh? This is in the hands of the main criminal." Long Xiong replied. "But where is the principal criminal now? Do you know?" "Know." After all, Long Xiong found a telephone directory in the public telephone booth in front of the station, strode over, quickly flipped through it, and found a name.He waved to Tamura. "Come and see." Tamura saw Long Xiong's finger pointing at the words "Tsinghua Garden" among the densely packed phone numbers. "What is Tsinghua Garden?" "Look at this again." His finger slid over and pointed to "Tsinghua Group Psychiatric Hospital Director Iwao Teruji". Tamura's eyes widened. "Psychiatric hospital, ah, so he is here." However, whether it was Long Tui or Tian Cun, the two of them were stunned. Teruji Iwao, Teruji Iwao... The name of the member of the councilor on the business card used to swindle the check is Terusuke Iwao. "So Dean J and that right-wing congressman Iwao are either brothers or relatives." The inextricable relationship between Hideaki Funakura and Senator Iwao clearly appeared in the eyes of the two of them. Long Xiong suddenly felt restless. "Have you reported everything to the police?" Long asked Tamura. "Not yet. I don't know what's going on just by reading the telegram?" This is not without reason.Long Xiong knew that he was too reckless.Because only you know the details, but others may not.There is no time to hesitate now.He counted the number of people, and there were five people in total, and they could be dealt with no matter what. "No way, let's break in together if necessary." Long Xiong made up his mind. "I now know what happened to the wise man. He is probably in this psychiatric hospital. However, you said in the telegram, 'A person's life is in danger!' Who is this person?" Tamura asked. "It's a woman." Long Xiong replied immediately. "Woman?" Tamura showed a surprised look. "Which woman? It may not be the proprietress of the Red Moon Bar, right?" "Anyway, you'll understand when you go. The most important thing now is to go to the hospital as soon as possible." Long Hua shouted, "We'll talk about it later." There were no taxis in town, so I decided to walk quickly.Long Xiong went to the waiting room and said to the old man Kato: "Old man, let's go see A Yin right away. We have to hurry up. Unfortunately, there are no taxis in the town. Can you walk?" The old man opened his toothless mouth and said with a smile: "Hi! Although I am old, I work in the fields. My legs have been exercised. I am no worse than the boys in the city. Oh, Ah Yin is in this town?" "Yes, go and see him." The old man grunted and stood up. There is quite a distance from the station to Tsinghua Garden.Longxiong, Tamura and the three reporters strode straight away.No wonder the old man can boast that when he walks, his legs and feet are indeed very strong. Once upon a time, the bridge that Long Xiong walked across is now crossing again.He still remembered a row of eaves hidden in the hills, and it appeared before his eyes at this moment.Longxiong has walked this road, so he is familiar with it. Walking into the main entrance, it is the gloomy building.Long Tui walked ahead and came to the office.His heart was beating violently. The ward was on the side, with small windows and iron bars, and there was no one outside. Tamura touched Longhua with his hand. "look!" He pointed with his finger and said in a low voice.Next to the office is the garage, and the rear of the car can be seen. "I saw this car in the hotel where I stayed in Ise when I went to Ise." Tamura said, "You mentioned the matter of bringing your own car on the phone two days ago, and I suddenly remembered it. Maybe Kinuma is here. It is not known which car sent him to Mount Kiso before starving to death. So I then called the correspondent at the Ise Communication Station and asked him to investigate. Guess what? Said it was before the typhoon After three days, the car disappeared. There was no sign of the car for five or six days. It is said that the car was driven across from the hotel just after Zhouchang arrived.” "I'm afraid that's the case." Long Xiong nodded and said, "The sulfuric acid jar and concentrated chromium sulfuric acid must be transported here by this car. Now the matter has come to light." Long Hua pushed open the door vigorously, and five people rushed in together with the old man. The porter looked at them in surprise. "We want to see Mr. Zhou Quan Yingming." After Long Xiong finished speaking, the concierge pretended to be confused and asked: "Is it a hospital patient?" "I don't know if it's a hospital patient, anyway, that person is here now." Long Xiong said, suddenly realized that it was wrong to say that, so he changed his words: "Then let us see Mr. Abbot." "Your name?" Tamura passed the business card from the side and said: "We belong to the newspaper office, and we won't delay long. Let's see the dean." The concierge walked in with a business card. They thought they would be rejected, but to their surprise, a burly man in his fifties, wearing a white coat and with shining glasses, came out of it.He looked haughty and pretentious.Long Xiong could tell at a glance that he was very similar to the Representative Iwao who he had acquaintance with once.They must be brothers and sisters. "I'm the dean." He glanced at everyone with his bony eyes. "Has Mr. Zhou Quan come to your hospital? We don't know whether he is hospitalized or not. Anyway, we want to see him." Long Xiong said straight to the point. "He didn't come to our place." The dean said firmly. "Maybe by another name. Anyway, the guy you picked him up from the hotel in Ise by car." The dean looked distressed, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "I don't know. I don't remember such a thing." "Whether there is or not. In short, we want to see Mr. Funaki." Tamura groaned and said loudly. "He's not here." The dean gave Tamura a glance.The loudness of the voice was no less than that of Tamura. "Should be there. Don't hide the man. Tell him to come out!" "No! You are unreasonable." "He didn't come until we inquired about it in 2." "Not here is not here." In, not in!The two sides could not stop arguing, and even quarreled.At this time, the door leading to the inside opened suddenly, and a person came out. "What are you people going to do?" The sound resounded through the house.Long Xiong, Tamura and the three reporters were all taken aback. Small crew cut, high cheekbones, scowling face.Because of anger, his face was flushed, his brows were tightened, and his two big eyes seemed to be on fire.Wearing a stand-up collar, he is majestic, with his hands on his waist and his legs apart, standing at the door. "Ah! You are Director Yamazaki!" Tamura called out, and at the same time heard: "Oh! Isn't this A Yin? It's A Yin, it's A Yin! It makes people miss you." The old man Kato standing behind, opened his toothless mouth, murmured, and walked forward. "What? He's A Yin?" Ryuxiong was taken aback, staring nervously at Yamazaki's face.Tamura also stared blankly. "It turns out that you are a boat trash!" Zhoufan Yingming, who only revealed his true face at this time, ignored them both at all, and stared at the old man in astonishment, for two or three seconds, his body trembled. "Ayin! You are really promising. I haven't seen you for more than 20 years." The old man stretched out his wrinkled hands affectionately, almost touching the collar of Zhou Bao. "You are Uncle Kato, right?" Zhou Jun said, staring at the old man's face. "Hui, do you still remember me? I'm old too. He said you wanted to see me, and he brought me here." The old man pointed at Long Xiong. Zhou Quan shot his fiery gaze at Long Xiong and asked: "Who are you?" The voice was equally fiery. "It's the employee of the Showa Electric Company who was cheated by you of a check of 30 million yuan." Long Xiong shot at Zhou Bao with sharp eyes.His words were full of long-storing hatred. Zhou Ban also stared at Long Xiong's face, as if he wanted to shoot him right through. "You did a good job!" Zhou Quan just snorted, then said after a pause, "Good job! You found out everything?" What he was referring to was that Longxiong would even bring the old man Kato here.The dominance of the right-wing leader can still be heard from the voice, but the tone has lost its calmness, making one feel as if blood is spurting from the throat. "Zhuban! You surrender yourself!" Long Xiong shouted. "Nonsense! Just for a check of 30 million yuan?" Said the boat newspaper mockingly. "Not only that, you ordered your party members to kill lawyer Huinuma and Kenji Kuroike. Kenji Kurochi is still your cousin." "Bastard!" Zhou Fan said fiercely. "That's not counting, you still have to kill a woman. She is also in this hospital, let her out as soon as possible!" "woman?" "Don't pretend to be confused! She is Kenji's younger sister, and her pseudonym is Uesaki Etsuko." "You even found out about these things?" The voice of the boat newspaper seemed to burst from the depths of the lungs.At the same time, there was a rumble of cars outside, and they suddenly stopped at the door. "It's the police force!" The dean exclaimed. Long Tui, Tian Cun and several others looked back together.A group of police officers in black hats and uniforms were jumping from the truck to the ground one after another. Why is the police force here?At this critical moment, they are not allowed to think.Zhoubao Yingming and the dean had already fled to the inside, and everyone just tried their best to catch up. Through the dark corridor, there is a staircase leading to the dark basement.Five men chased the boat boards in Lipton suits.Countless footsteps followed closely behind, and there was an echo.The lunatics in the iron windows on both sides roared like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.The nurse in the white coat shrank into a ball in fright. Seeing Zhou Fan rushing into a basement.Just as Longxiong and Tiancun opened the door, they heard the sound of water and screams of people.The sound of the water was dull, and a stench rushed into the nose. "Danger!" Long Xiong grabbed Tian Cun who slipped and slid past. This is a bathroom with white tiles.In the corner is a square pool that can accommodate two people, filled with a pool of black water. The boat board in the stand-up collar jumped into the black water, tumbling and struggling.The black water submerged his body, and a thick white smoke rose from countless bubbles. The bubbles spewed out around him like sparks. "Zhoubao Yingming is melting!" Long Hua stared at the scene.Tamura and the three reporters also stood there, stunned. "Zhoubao Yingming melted in the pool of concentrated chromium sulfuric acid." The foam that spewed up was boiling, and the room was filled with strange and pungent white smoke.The boat's clothes are rotten.His flesh also rotted away.Not long after, the black water soaked in the human body began to turn green.This means that Zhou Banying's body is gradually dissolving. The police officers who arrived afterward were shocked for a while, they were powerless and became bystanders. In the area around Ginza, the lights are like daylight. Longxiong and Tiancun walked side by side on Youle Street, crossed the Sukiyashi Bridge, and turned north.Right now, there is a lot of construction going on here, and it is chaotic.The crowd was flowing on one side. The two squeezed out of the chaos and walked down to a basement.You can find cheap food there.The people in the Tamura newspaper office are regular customers of this restaurant. "Welcome." The waitress greeted Tamura with a smile. "Mr. Tamura is lucky, congratulations." "What? Did it reach your ears?" Tamura narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's amazing to say that you won the Director's Award! How much is the bonus?" "There is not much money. I paid off the debt of Baohao, and there is not much left." "Let's pay off the debt first before we finish spending it." "Nonsense!" The two walked into an elegant seat, which was quite delicate even though it was small.After the food and drink were delivered, Long Xiong took the cup and asked: "Won the Director's Award?" "Yeah. It's the first time I've been in a newspaper office for ten years." Tamura smiled.This Zhou-level wise case, the exclusive news was published on the front page, ahead of other newspapers.In Tamura's eyes, the pages of the newspaper were still swaying like a dream. The two clinked glasses with each other. "This time it was really protracted." "This case has really dragged on for too long." Long Xiong echoed, "At the beginning, the weather was still a bit cold, but before you know it, summer turns to winter, and it's cold again." "From the beginning of the check fraud case, it developed to such an unexpected ending. When I heard you talk about this case, I never expected that it would develop to this point." Tamura put a chopsticks of vegetables into his mouth . "It's the same for Zhou Fan. He may not have expected that he would go to this dead end. Kenji Kurochi was too reckless. In a panic, he killed the people who served under Lawyer Zuoma, which made the matter take a turn for the worse. He kidnapped him in a hurry. Lawyer Numa, if he couldn’t hide, he killed him. Later, the name of the criminal in the Shinjuku murder case was found out by the task force. We had no choice but to kill his cousin Kenkichi Kurochi. The result was self-defeating and full of loopholes.” "That's not it." Tamura said, "When did you find out that Kuroike Kenkichi is Funabato's cousin?" "When I went to Chunye Village at the foot of Yatsugatake for the first time, I checked Heidi Jianyu's household registration copy. By the way, you were on a business trip in Kyushu at that time. From the household registration copy, I know that Heichi Jianyu has a younger sister and cousin. Cousin His name is Umemura Otoji, he was born on April 17, 1914, and he is forty-three years old. However, I didn’t expect him to be Funagaki Hidetoshi at the time.” "Why is the last name different?" "Because Kenkichi's mother is married. Umemura Otonji's father is Kenkichi Kurochi's uncle. He inherited the family business, so he has a different surname. I'll write it down for you to understand." "Kenkichi Kuroike also has a younger sister." Tamura said, "Why didn't you tell me?" He fixed Longxiong's eyes tightly. "Because I didn't expect her to be Uesaki Etsuko." Tatsuo replied, "I completely excluded Kurochi Kenkichi's sister from the case." "Then how do you know that Umemura Otoji is the wise man?" "I thought of it from the hanging corpse. It was after I knew that concentrated chromium sulfuric acid could dissolve the corpse. Last time I went to Yokoo in Haruno Village, I met people in the village transporting medicine jars to the leather factory. The leather factory needs this kind of drastic chemical Medicines. The relationship between medicines and corpses was associated when I was taking a bath in a hotel in Shinshu. At that time, a guest came in and watched him soak in the pool. I suddenly realized. Our company uses sulfuric acid to produce batteries. Once upon a time, a worker in a subordinate factory was burned by concentrated chromium sulfuric acid. So I have some common sense about concentrated chromium sulfuric acid. I think that soaking people in concentrated chromium sulfuric acid will not rot into a pile of bones like the hanged corpse Did you put the body in a sack, and you can lift it up with a raise of your hand. Thinking of this, all the mysteries in the case were solved. Later, I thought, there is a leather factory in Yoko-ri, and the local people should know about concentrated chromium sulfuric acid As for cousin Jianji, he ran away from the village at the age of fifteen or sixteen. His whereabouts are unknown after he arrived in Tokyo.” "So that's how it is." "You once said that Zhoufan Yingming is from North Korea. After some investigation, it is still not clear. The more unclear his life experience is, the more suspicious it is. I thought about it and said that he is from North Korea. This kind of rumor Fei Yu, I'm afraid it was Zhou Bao Yingming himself who spread it." "Why did he do that?" "Because of Funagi Hideyoshi, the environment in which Umemura Otonji grew up, or in other words, the environment in which he was born, Yoko-ri is full of poor farmers, and the nearby villages are known as poor villages. Umemura Otonji couldn't bear poverty, so he ran away from home. Because there is a local stereotype that people look down on being poor." "That thinking is wrong." "That's not true." Tatsuo said, "It's a completely wrong concept. So Umemura Kiji developed a rebellious mentality, which swelled up and turned into revenge against the society that looked down on him." "It makes sense." "So he changed his name to Zhoufan Yingming and turned to the right wing. He wanted to set up a banner on the right wing and be unique. This man is talented and courageous. Unknowingly, he has a party member under him, and he became the leader of one side. The plan to retaliate against the society has finally come. The first step has been taken." "Ok." "However, recently many small right-wing groups have no money at hand." Long Xiong continued, "Before the war, the funds of right-wing organizations depended on secret subsidies from the military department. The military department is their biggest god of wealth. After the war, the boss fell. Right-wing organizations have to use illegal means to make money. Just relying on a little donation can’t break the scene. So the post-war right-wing has no character and no credibility. Intimidation, fraud, false claims, etc. are all used. In other words, he colluded with the financier Kitaro Yamasugi, got information from Yamasugi, framed the company that issued the bill but had no money to discount, and engaged in bill fraud. Of course, he also shared some of the sweetness with Yamasugi. The money he got was An important income in the boat newspaper group. For this reason, he raised more than a dozen henchmen who worked hard for him. Hideaki Shuban, also Umemura Otoji's cousin Kenkichi Kuroike, is one of the minions." There is another person, Uesaki Etsuko.She acted as Shanshan's secretary and made contact in the middle.But Long Xiong didn't want to talk about this matter.At this time, the waitress brought another jug ​​of wine. The wine was very hot, and Tamura blew into the wine cup and said: "However," he glanced at Longxiong, "you were in the mental hospital, and you suddenly told Funaba that he wanted to do something to Kenji Kurochi's sister, but it scared me. When did you find this woman?" ?” In Tamura's tone, there was a sense of complaint; "You have kept it from me." "When Zhouchang consigned a box of electric porcelain bottles to Liangchang Station, pretending to be a dead body," Long Hua said, suddenly startled, "Zhoufan and the others set up a trap to make people think that the person hanged by the Qingmu Lake was a black man. Di Jianji, even the police were fooled by them. However, we determined at the time that the body was not Hei Di Jianji. The police were deceived and deceived, and they were achieving their purpose. Three days before the discovery of the body, the wooden box containing the electric porcelain bottle was taken from It was sent from Tujiajin Station and transported to Liangchang Station. A few people dressed as electricians took wooden boxes and went up the mountain to the scene. This is to hint to people that the corpse has been transported from elsewhere. To whom? Of course you don’t know .Because I stayed and did not leave, I personally went to investigate the site where the wooden box was thrown. The wooden box was thrown in the grass, and it contained quilt tiles. There was no trace of a corpse at all. At that time, I thought of the old woman Seeing the sack. I also heard that a woman came to see the wooden box a few days ago." "I see." "She first went to the station to inquire about the goods, apparently to verify whether the wooden box had arrived? Why? To verify whether the wooden box sent out from Shangqijin Station contained dead bodies. What was her motive? I think , she must be very concerned about Kuroike Kenkichi. You can imagine that the hanged body was pretending to be Kuroike Kenkichi’s corpse. —— Funaba planned this in advance and told her. She was used by them again. She The reason why I had to investigate afterwards was probably because I suspected that the corpse belonged to someone else, or Kenkichi Kuroike? I just remembered that it was mentioned in the household registration book that Heidiji had a younger sister." "Well. You're talking too much in circles." "It sounds like a circle, but when you think about it carefully, it's not unreasonable. The police found out that the murderer was a gangster, so Zhou Ji probably planned to kill him. Heidi Qing committed suicide to prevent the police from searching. The replacement body was going to be stolen from a rural cemetery near Shangqijin, and then put in a water tank and transported to Liangchang. Because there are burials in Zhiqijin area, it is easy to steal corpses In this way, Kenyu Kurochi committed suicide on the surface, but he is actually still alive. This is probably the content of their plan. Kenji himself agreed with this plan, and told his sister Sachiko, who changed his name and surname Uesaki Etsuko." "It really makes sense." Tamura nodded in agreement and said, "I remember that there was a strange grave-excavation case in a village called Dao Island three miles away from Shangqijin City. The owner of the tomb had been dead for eight months, but the body Intact. It made a little tidbit in the local paper." "That's right, it was Chuban's plan again." Long Xiong said, "Although Heichi is his cousin, Zhouban is very worried about him. The murder case in Shinjuku was due to his recklessness. I don't know if he will do it in the future." What will happen. And Heidi Kenji is not a person who keeps his own name and keeps his name. Zhou Ban's heart actually wants to get rid of him. It is estimated that Heidi Kenji was killed in the basement of the mental hospital, soaked in that In the pool, they turned into bones within a few minutes. There is no cousinship between them anymore." Long Xiong continued to say: "Just now I said that Zhou Quan knows the use of concentrated chromium sulfuric acid, but the mental hospital does not need this kind of medicine. It takes a lot of liquid medicine to dissolve a corpse. If the hospital goes out to buy it, others will be suspicious. Therefore, they decided to After that, Zhoufan went crazy. He bought all kinds of things randomly, including the concentrated chromium sulfuric acid he needed for 01. He pretended to be crazy and had another purpose, so that he could live in Tsinghua Garden and kill Kenji Kurodi. The mental hospital is isolated from the outside world, which is the most convenient. I only found out afterwards that it was their secret lair." "Let me interject, how did you discover Tsinghua Garden?" "When I was looking for the whereabouts of Heidi Jianji before, I was wandering in the streets of Ruilang and saw that mental hospital, so I remembered it." "The dean is the younger brother of Councilor Iwao. I thought Iwao and Funan were colluding secretly to get some benefits from my younger brother. In fact, the opposite is true. My younger brother and Funano are in the same group, and my elder brother is being used instead." "That's right, they killed Kuroike Kenkichi. Of course they didn't tell his sister. They just lied to her that Kenkichi was temporarily hiding from the limelight. Sachiko saw the news of the grave digging in the newspaper and thought that things were proceeding as planned. I told her in advance that the replacement body was transported from Shangqijin to Liangchang Station in a wooden box as an electric porcelain bottle. But Sachiko felt that things were a bit awkward. She probably asked where Kenji was hiding, and theirs The answer was vague and did not mention the exact location. So, Xingzi decided to check it out. She went to the delivery station to inquire, and the wooden box containing the electric porcelain bottle had indeed been delivered. Then she went to the cemetery to check, the tomb It was dug up, but the body was unharmed. So she went to the beam yard of the cargo station, and the wooden box had already arrived, but what she saw in the grass at the foot of the mountain was not the empty wooden box after taking out the body, but At this time, Sachiko must have understood the truth of the matter. The hanging corpse is not a substitute for his brother Kenji, but Kenji himself." "It's not easy for you to reason to this point." Tamura said eloquently. "As long as you grasp the key to the matter, you can easily solve it." "The key is to know that fortunately is Kuroike Kenkichi's younger sister." "Yes, the rest are due to the deduction of subsequent events." "However, just by checking the wooden box, I deduce that she is Kenji's younger sister, but I don't agree with it." Tamura said with a smile, "You know her, I'm afraid it didn't start from the wooden box, maybe there were clues already Bar." Yes, there are already clues.Uesaki Etsuko is often around Kenkichi Kurochi.No matter when Kenji fled from Haneda Airport to Nagoya on a JAL plane, or when he was withdrawing cash at the Mizunami Post Office.But these things, he can't tell Tamura. "Why did you lie to me?" "I'm not hiding from you, I just realized it at that time." Long Xiong still didn't let go, his face turned red, as if the secret in his heart had been seen through. "Later you felt that your sister's situation was critical, didn't you?" "Yes, I think Sachiko must blame Funao. He was dragged into the water by his brother, and he had to become a pawn of their gang. Kenkichi fell into such an end, and she must blame Funao. In her situation It's in danger. I guess Zhouban will do the same to Jianji to her. As expected, when we broke into the hospital, she was already under house arrest in a ward with iron windows. They probably planned to attack at night .” "But, didn't you find out that before that, she had written a letter and surrendered to the task force?" "It was unexpected. I was taken aback when the detachment came. But it was just in time." "The last B-cutting officer of the boat newspaper jumped into the concentrated chromium sulfuric acid bath, probably for Sachiko." "Exactly. It's too dangerous. If it's a few hours later, she will end up in the same boat." "The fate of Zhoubao was really shocking. At that moment, it was really terrifying, and I will never forget it. Although I have seen many miserable scenes due to professional relationships." "However, Yamazaki is Funagata himself. It was really unexpected, and I was stunned at the time." "Me too. The boat board I saw in Ise was a fake fan of his henchmen." The wine glass in Tamura's hand overflowed a little. "Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Payingming is quite pitiful." Long Xiong said with emotion. "That's not true." Tamura also felt the same way. After breaking up with Tamura, Longxiong wandered alone in the street.Cross Ginza Street and go straight to the back alley. There are few pedestrians in this area and the lights are dim.Although the buildings are magnificent, they are as quiet as the suburbs. All things come to an end.For a long time, it seemed to be wrapped in a whirlwind.After the wind passed, I felt powerless. I'm going to work at the company tomorrow.Saw the manager yesterday.Newspapers published the whole case.The report said that the first culprit committed suicide and eight of his accomplices were arrested, including one woman.The manager said, after seeing it, I am very pleased," and thanked Longxiong for his hard work. Because Tamura mentioned Longxiong in the report. But in Long Xiong's heart, he was not satisfied.Section Chief Guan Ye can rest in peace, and his wife should be satisfied.But Long Xiong still felt melancholy, not without regrets in his heart. His leather shoes rang "cluck, lol". A couple walked by, arm in arm, cuddling each other.Above the dark high-rise building, there is a crystal clear starry sky, and the wind is cold.These couples all unexpectedly appeared in front of Long Xiong. Ryuxiong suddenly had an illusion, as if Uesaki Etsuko was walking side by side with him.Her beautiful fair face and Gu Chang's graceful figure walked beside him.They are in unison, the sound of shoes overlapping.As Long Xiong walked, he tried his best not to make this illusion disappear. —By the way, can't illusions become reality? It's not impossible.Maybe it will take a year or so, maybe it will be longer, maybe it will be soon.No matter what, Long Xiong made up his mind, and after the deadline, he formally proposed to her.In short, depending on the time of her judgment, Long Xiong felt a sense of fulfillment at this moment, rushing to his heart like a tide. He walked towards the lively place, and his mood changed accordingly.Pedestrians are bustling with lights.Long Xiong felt that Uesaki Etsuko was still walking beside him. Suddenly, I walked to a pastry shop without knowing it.He came to this alley before, Long Xiong turned into it.The Red Moon Bar has closed down and is undergoing renovations. "The boss has changed." The bar girl standing next door answered Longxiong's question.Long Xiong walked back to the street again.The whirlwind passed.But the traces are still here. Buildings, trams, cars, pedestrians...all of these rushed to his eyes.Could it be that what was reflected in his eyes was reality?In fact, the real reality of the Metropolis seems to lie far beyond the horizon of a larger world than can be seen.What we see with our naked eyes is nothing but the barrier that cuts off everything. Long Xiong felt that the pedestrians on the street seemed to be excited, bustling to and fro on the street.In fact, the reason why he thinks this way is because he is also a little excited, right? Uesaki Etsuko's surrendered face seemed to be still moving beside her.Long Xiong was so excited that he came up with a wandering sentence: The star-aniseed golden plate blossoms at night, and Renmeng walks with her like a phantom girl.
