Chapter 19: A Second Inquiry to Sakurako Takudai

"Miss Takurii, I would like to ask you to describe how you found out that your friend, Ms. Erika Shiraishi, was killed?" Hayashi Shuichi and Sakurako sat in the tea room of Sakurako's box and began a second conversation between the two. In the course of the first investigation, the panic reflected by Sakurako Takumi made Lin Xiu suspicious, and the first discoverer of the murder scene was originally the target of the investigation, so of course Lin Xiuyi had to start a new round of investigation from Sakura.

When Lin Xiuyi walked into Sakurako's box for the first time, what left the deepest impression on him was the golf bag behind the stairs. This golf bag made Lin Xiuyi very interested.

Lin Xiuyi's box and Sakurako's box are basically the same in structure and internal furnishings, but in Sakurako's box, except for the golf bag, Lin Xiuyi didn't see any other luggage. This made Lin Xiuyi very concerned about this. As far as Lin Xiuyi knew, the luggage storage in the box was located at the back of the bathroom, and it was large enough to hold an item the size of a golf bag. But for some reason, Sakurako didn't put it in the luggage cabinet, but chose to put it behind the stairs. If the luggage locker is not enough to store, you can choose to haul luggage, such as golf equipment, most people will choose to check it.

However, although Lin Xiuyi felt that this golf bag was a bit of an eyesore, he still focused his energy on the case of the murder of Ms. Erika Shiraishi. And this time, Sakurako did not avoid Lin Xiuyi's question, she chose to say the situation happily.

Sakurako pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said to Lin Shuichi, "The last night, probably around one o'clock in the night, I suddenly remembered something important, so I left the room to find Eri-chan......"

"However, you found out that the time of Ms. Shiraishi's death was one o'clock in the night!, why did you choose this time to go to Ms. Shiraishi?" Lin Xiu felt that there seemed to be something unreasonable in Sakurako's words, and immediately asked.

"Well, it's actually such a police officer, and I basically work with Eri-chan at night, so I know Eri-chan very well, she usually doesn't sleep much at night, but she often can't get out of bed in the morning. So even though it's one o'clock in the middle of the night, with what I know about Eri-chan, she won't go to bed at this time......" Sakurako Sakurako replied to Shuichi Hayashi.

"Then what is the ...... of your job with Ms. Shiraishi," Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"We ...... We run a night club in Ginza!"

Lin Xiuyi didn't understand it at first, but it didn't take long for him to understand, what a night club. Isn't it just a place to have fun at night bars? In this way, sitting in front of me is a Ginza female publicist, but looking at the temperament of the other party, she can play the piano well, and she should not be a very low-level female publicist!

"In that case, Ms. Shiraishi also works in Ginza, right?" said Lin Shuichi in order to clarify his guess, vaguely using Erika Shiraishi, he believed that Sakurako Takudai would understand what he meant.

"Hey, we're running a membership-only bar in Ginza together called Kazukashi!" Sakurako confessed, she just wants to get rid of the cop as soon as possible, Erika Shiraishi's death has nothing to do with her, and Sakurako doesn't want to let Erika's death cause her escape plan to fail. So as long as it is not related to the information of her own killing, Sakurako chooses to tell the police without concealment.

"In that case, then on this train. Have you ever met a former guest, or someone who used to work in your club?" asked Lin Xiuyi tentatively.

"Is this it! should...... Be...... No!" Sakurako thought for a long time, and finally replied to Lin Xiuyi.

……

After Lin Shuichi asked in detail about the interpersonal relationship between Sakurako and Erika Shiraishi, such as whether there were any enemies and how their love life was, he finally asked Sakurako about the situation after Sakurako Shiraishi found the body of Erika Shiraishi last night.

"At that time, I screamed and exited Eri-chan's box, and then I fell to the ground. The first to rush out seems to be ...... It seems to be a lady in the same carriage wearing a Wu suit......"

"Is it Mrs. Kakiya?"

"Yes...... It was probably her, she ran over and asked me what was going on, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, I just pointed to the body of Eri-chan in the box and shivered, and Mrs. Kakiya looked in the direction of my finger, and she was startled at the time, but she quickly got up and ran to find someone to help. ”

"Then, I remember that she seemed to pat the box next door, and it was a long time before Mr. Nantian opened the sliding door of the box and asked what happened!"

Sakurako closed her eyes and tried to remember the situation, and she remembered very clearly what happened after Mrs. Kakiya arrived.

"What happened after that, what happened after that?" Lin Xiuyi asked impatiently.

"After that, it seems that Mrs. Kakiya told Mr. Minamida that someone had been killed, and Mr. Nanda asked Mrs. Kakiya to hurry up and call someone first, and he said that he would inform the crew on the train by phone......"

"Then, almost as soon as Ms. Kakiya was running in the direction of the dining car, you arrived and lifted me up from the ground, and then the conductor of the train arrived here. ”

Sakurako's description is very detailed, which allows Lin Shuichi to fully make up the scene at that time based on Sakurako's description. Lin Xiuyi used the pen given by the Shenmu Police Department to quickly record the conversation between him and Sakurako in his notebook, and after Sakurako finished speaking, Lin Xiuyi showed his record to Sakurako again, until the other party confirmed that it was correct, Lin Xiuyi closed the notebook and got up to leave.

Lin Xiuyi walked downstairs down the stairs and saw the golf bag in the corner again, so he casually asked Sakurako, "Excuse me, are you going to Hokkaido to play golf?"

"Ah...... Be...... In my spare time, I occasionally play golf with clients!" Sakurako said to Lin Shuichi with a smile despite the numbness on her scalp when asked.

Lin Xiu nodded, didn't say anything, he said goodbye to Sakurako, and then opened the sliding door, just after he stood at the door and put on his shoes, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and asked Sakurako:

"Finally, one more question, since you found out that Miss Shiraishi was killed, has anyone else entered Miss Shiraishi's box?"

"No, if anything, it's just you!" Sakurako replied without thinking.
