Wednesday, September 11.

Morning Didan High School, 2nd grade 2nd class.

In class, Yamazaki yawned, glanced at Masaka's Mei Daiko who was sleeping on the table, smiled, and then looked at the sky by the way, it was past nine o'clock, and he was already at work, and that incident was about to be exposed. Yamazaki recalls what happened last Friday night, in the early hours of Saturday morning......

There was a small park not far from Mr. Negishi's house, and there were stone tables and chairs for people to rest under the street lamps, and Yamazaki and Midaiko, who was carrying a food box, went to sit down.

Mei Daiko separated the three layers of food boxes and took out the food inside, a bowl of vegetable soup, twelve pieces of sushi, three steaks that had been cut, and a large plate of seafood sashimi.

Finding that there was only one pair of chopsticks, Yamazaki smiled and handed one to Mei Daiko.

At about half past zero, Yamazaki and Midako finished their supper. They packed their things and walked to the entrance of the park to get home in the taxi that had been waiting for Midaiko to go home, when a car pulled out of the alley that led to Mr. Negishi's house. When the car passed the road not far in front of Yamazaki, by the street lamp, Yamazaki found that it was a light-colored four-eyed Mercedes, as if it was Mr. Negishi's car that Uncle Mori said, and before he had time to think about it, Yamazaki pulled Midako into a taxi, asked the driver to drive immediately to follow, and then used his mobile phone to say hello to his mother.

When Yamazaki and Midaiko followed the taxi all the way to the highway to Gunma Prefecture, the taxi ran out of gas. After refueling, it wasn't until I was about to enter the toll booth in Gunma Prefecture that I saw Mr. Negishi's Mercedes Benz in the distance.

The road conditions at night were very good, and the taxi had not pulled into the distance from the Mercedes Benz, so it could only follow from a distance. At about three o'clock in the morning, Yamazaki watched from a distance that the Mercedes-Benz disappeared after entering Chihuo Village, or rather, it was invisible, and the front and rear lights of the Mercedes-Benz were suddenly turned off, and the car dissolved into darkness.

Yamazaki whispered to the driver to ask if there was only one exit here, and learned that although this is not a developed place, there is a very famous fire festival here, so there are still several roads. Yamazaki inquired about the time of the fire festival and learned that it was held on a Monday night, so he asked the driver to drive over to have a look.

About twenty minutes later, it was dark before the driver who couldn't recognize the road slowly drove to the vicinity of the fire festival site and stopped, there were stone piles in front of him, and he couldn't drive any further. Yamazaki took a look at the fact that under the headlights, there was a large pile of firewood-like things in the distance, and asked the driver again, and the driver said that it was firewood, but it has not been piled up yet, and it will be piled up to nine meters high in the future.

Yamazaki gently put Midaiko, who had fallen asleep on his shoulder, on the seat, and then got out of the car.

Yamazaki shone it with a small flashlight, and found a puddle of water next to it, it seems that it should be the air-conditioned water of the car, and a car has just stopped here, so late, what is Mr. Negishi Masaki doing here, and sneaking around.

Yamazaki looked around the pile of firewood, which was about half a meter high and about three meters in circumference, and found that on the back, there was a clear difference in the firewood pile that was supposed to be round, and it was the trace of a person pulling away the firewood and walking in.

Yamazaki took a closer look and didn't find anything, went over to turn the firewood in the center, Yamazaki found a big black bag underneath, and when he took the bag out and opened it, it was a person, that bearded face, Yamazaki had seen it in the photo, it was Masaki Negishi.

Yamazaki took a look, Mr. Negishi was still alive, and it seemed that he was sleeping, thinking of the fire festival three days later, Yamazaki estimated that Mr. Negishi was poured sleeping pills and let him sleep until he was burned to death, so that even if the time of death was found, it was the moment when he was burned to death.

Yamazaki took out his mobile phone and prepared to call an ambulance, but he stopped again, and instead called Asai Xiang, the phone at home, it couldn't get through, and he pulled the phone line again, and the mobile phone, fortunately, it worked.

"Sleeping pills?" said Asai, "One of the easiest first aid methods for oral medicine is to put it on the person's stomach and hit him with stomach cramps, which can prevent further digestion and induce vomiting." ”

Yamazaki held the mobile phone between his cheeks and shoulders, lifted him upside down with his legs in both hands, and then slammed his knee into Mr. Negishi's stomach, and Mr. Negishi reacted immediately, and immediately put him down in order to prevent him from throwing up in his nostrils.

"Did you vomit?" asked Asaika, "Is it medicine or water?"

"I vomited, there was a lot of food residue," Yamazaki said, taking a closer look, "and I didn't see any pills." ”

"One more time. Asai said, "See if there's any food scrap spit out." ”

After a second visit, Yamazaki said, "No, there is not much liquid, this smell is probably stomach acid." ”

"Among the people who gave him a few slaps or pinched him," Asai said, "and if you wake up, you'll be fine, and if you can't wake up, the potion has been digested and you should be sent to the hospital." ”

After pinching Mr. Negishi's man, Mr. Negishi woke up.

"Awake?" said Asaika, "then it's fine, it means that the potion was just poured down, or it was absorbed by the absorbent food, and it was not digested for a while." What did this man eat at night......

This kind of thing, I want to see myself come and see, Yamazaki hung up the phone, as long as the person wakes up.

"Mr. Negishi Masaki, my name is Yamazaki, and I am the assistant of Detective Kogoro Mori," Yamazaki said, "and we have been tracking and protecting you for the past two days by unknown people. ”

Negishi asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"This is Chihuo Village, Gunma Prefecture," Yamazaki asked, "Do you know who was going to harm you and who brought you to your house?"

After trying to think about it for a while, Negishi Masaki said, "I don't know, I lost consciousness as soon as I opened the door." ”

"Well," Yamazaki asked, "what do you want to do now?"

Negishi Masaki said, "I feel a terrible stomach ache, can you send me to the hospital." ”

"I'm sorry, I called. Yamazaki said that he followed him, found him, and then induced vomiting for him and his own conjectures about it.

"You want me to sleep here for three days and then be burned to death?" said Negishi Masaki in a hateful voice, "What a vicious mind. Then he said, "No, I can't go back like this, I have to find this man." Then he thought for a moment and asked, "Can you lend me your mobile phone?"

"No problem. Yamazaki said.

When Masaki Negishi went to the side to make a call, Yamazaki went to the center of the fire festival to take a look, and found that there was a place covered with floating soil that was very suspicious, and when he opened the floating soil, he saw that it was Mr. Negishi's driver's license, which was deliberately placed here, so that the discoverer could know the identity of the deceased for the first time.

Masaki Negishi came back after the phone call and returned the mobile phone to Yamazaki. Yamazaki returned the driver's license he had found, told him where he found it and his conjectures, and after hearing this, Negishi Masaki buried the driver's license in its original place, and then cleaned up what he vomited.

At around four o'clock in the morning, a car drove over, and Negishi Masaki's subordinates brought a body and lay it in the center of the fire festival in place of Negishi Masaki. As for this body, Negishi Masaki's subordinates explained that they happened to come across it when they went to the hospital to buy the body, and that the relatives voluntarily sold it, because the cemetery in the city was too expensive for them to buy, and it happened that they sold it, and they also raised the requirements, and their condition was that after the incident, they would buy a cemetery at a shrine near their home to bury the cremated deceased.

After putting the firewood back together, Negishi Masaki asked Yamazaki not to tell about his life for the time being, and then changed the mobile phone number, and Yamazaki and Negishi Masaki separated.

Thinking of this, Yamazaki thought again that he had told Mr. Masaki Negishi this morning that the person who killed him might be Yutaka Abe, and I wonder if Mr. Negishi could find any valuable clues?......

Less than ten o'clock, Maori Detective Agency.

When Mori has nothing to do and soothes his wounded heart by watching Yoko Okino's TV series, the Twilight Police Department suddenly calls.

"Maori, come over here, the results of the tooth comparison are out," the Twilight Police Department said, "The charred body is not Negishi Masaki at all." ”

"What!" called Maori, "I'll be there soon." ”

The Metropolitan Police Department, which searched the offices of the first section and three departments.

When Maori arrived, he couldn't say a good idea, so he stayed there and waited for other news. It was almost eleven o'clock when Officer Shiratori arrived with the impostor. Officer Shiratori spent 100,000 yen to get the news from the shelter and found the counterfeit.

The impostor said that he had only heard the man's voice and had not seen anyone. He was instructed to go to Masaki Negishi's house at six o'clock on Saturday morning, with the key hanging behind the door number, and then pretended to be Masaki Negishi for a day and left the next morning. Because I was afraid that someone would suddenly find the door, I hung outside all day. He listened to the voice of the instructor three times, the first time was when he was walking on the road, the phone box rang, he answered curiously, was asked for his identity and contact information, and then went to the designated place and got 10,000 yen. The second time I contacted him, I asked him to pretend to be Masaki Negishi on Saturday and Sunday, saying that he could give him 500,000 yen, and he agreed, and then went to the designated place to get 200,000 yen. The third time was to contact him on Monday, and then went to the designated place to get the remaining 300,000 yen.

Yutaka Abe, who had already returned to the hospital, was invited again, and accompanied by lawyer Tatsumi, he smiled and said something, which the police recorded and asked the imposter to identify, but the impostor said that he had never heard of it.

Just as Abe was about to leave, Officer Sato came and turned on the TV and called out to the Twilight Police Department to watch. The noon news on TV was reporting the news that Masaki Negishi was not dead, and at the same time it was exposed that a manager of Tomiwa Insurance had violated the rules, and when the insured was not dead, he treated him as if he was dead, and gave 500 million yen in compensation to the beneficiary.

Abe's face became very ugly, but what made his face even more ugly happened then, Negishi Masaki came to the Metropolitan Police Department and brought a message that he had found his car, a gray Mercedes-Benz W210.

Negishi Masaki said what happened in the early hours of Saturday morning, and said that he asked Yamazaki not to say it for the time being, and asked the police and Maori detectives not to blame Yamazaki. He said that he had been looking for clues for the past few days to see who was going to kill him, and this morning Yamazaki told him that Abe Yutaka had a major suspicion, so he thought of that insurance, and planned to meet the manager who helped him and Abe Feng with insurance, so he asked his subordinates to help make an appointment, but after he went, he found the car in the parking lot of the insurance company.

The Twilight Police Department immediately ordered someone to call the insurance manager and bring the car back. ……
