Chapter 248: The Remains in the Fire Sacrifice

Wednesday, September 11.

In the morning, Didan High School, Class 2, Grade 2.

In class, Yamazaki yawned, glanced at Mei Daizi who was sleeping on the table, smiled, and then looked at the sky. It was past nine o'clock, and he had already gone to work. That matter should be exposed Alright. Yamazaki recalled what happened last Friday night and Saturday morning...

There is a small park not far from Mr. Masaki Negishi’s house. There are stone tables and chairs for people to rest under the street lamps. Yamazaki and Mei Daizi, who is carrying a food box, went to sit down.

Mei Daizi separated the three-layer food box and took out the food inside, a bowl of vegetable soup, twelve pieces of sushi, three sliced ​​steaks, and a large plate of seafood sashimi.

Finding only one pair of chopsticks, Yamazaki smiled and handed one to Mei Daizi.

At about half past midnight, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi finished their supper. When they packed their things and walked to the gate of the park to take the taxi that had been waiting for Mei Daizi to go home, a car drove out from the alley leading to Mr. Masaki Negishi's house. When the car passed by the road not far in front of Yamazaki, with the help of street lights, Yamazaki found that it was a light-colored four-eyed Mercedes-Benz, which seemed to be the car of Mr. Negishi that Uncle Mori said. Mei Daizi got into the taxi, asked the driver to follow her immediately, and then greeted her mother with her mobile phone.

When the taxi that Yamazaki and Mei Daiko were in followed all the way to the expressway to Gunma Prefecture, the taxi ran out of gas. After refueling, I didn't see Mr. Negishi's Mercedes-Benz from a distance until I entered the toll booth in Gunma County.

The road condition was very good at night, the taxi never got within the distance of the Mercedes-Benz, so it could only follow from a distance. At three o'clock in the morning, Yamazaki saw from a distance that the Mercedes-Benz disappeared after entering Chihuo Village, or could not be seen. The front and rear lights of the Mercedes-Benz were suddenly turned off, and the car melted into the darkness.

Yamazaki asked the driver in a low voice if this is the only 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 Monday night, so he asked the driver to drive over to have a look.

About 20 minutes later, the driver, who couldn't recognize the road in the dark, slowly drove the car to the fire festival site and stopped. There were stone piles in front of him, so he couldn't drive any further. Yamazaki saw that there was a large pile of firewood in the distance under the light of the headlights, and asked the driver. The driver said that it was firewood, but it hadn't been piled up yet, and it would be piled up to nine meters high in the future.

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

Yamazaki took a picture with a small flashlight, and found a puddle of water next to it. It seemed to be the air-conditioning water of the car. A car stopped here just now. It was so late. What did Mr. Negishi Masaki do here? He was sneaky.

Yamazaki looked around the pile of firewood, which was about half a meter high and about three meters in radius, and found that on the back, there was an obvious difference in the firewood pile, which should have been round. It was the trace of people pushing aside the firewood and walking in.

Yamazaki took a closer look, but found nothing. He went to poke the firewood in the center, and found a big black bag underneath. He took the bag out and opened it. It was a person with a bearded face. Yamazaki saw it in the photo. It's Masaki Negishi who has been there.

Yamazaki took a look. Mr. Negishi was still alive and seemed to be sleeping. Reminiscent of the fire festival three days later, Yamazaki estimated that Mr. Negishi was given sleeping pills and let him sleep until he was burned to death.

In this way, even if the time of death is found out, it will be the moment of being burned to death.

Yamazaki took out his mobile phone to call an ambulance, but stopped again, and called Asai Kawasaki instead. The home phone couldn't get through, so he unplugged the phone line again. The mobile phone, okay, got through.

"Sleeping pills?" Asaixiang said, "The simplest first-aid method for oral medicine is to hit the person's stomach, which will cause stomach cramps, which can prevent further digestion and induce vomiting."

Yamazaki held the mobile phone between his cheeks and shoulders, held Mr. Negishi's legs upside down with both hands, and then raised his knees to hit Mr. Negishi's stomach. Mr. Negishi reacted immediately, in order not to let him spit into his nostrils , and put him down immediately.

"Have you vomited?" Asai Xiang asked, "Is it medicine or water?"

"I threw up, there are a lot of food residues," Yamazaki said after looking carefully, "I didn't see any pills."

"Come again." Asai Xiang said, "See if there are any food residues spit out."

After two more visits, Yamazaki said: "No more, and there is not much liquid. This smell is probably stomach acid."

"Among the people who slapped or pinched him a few times," Asai Xiang said, "you'll be fine when you wake up. If you don't wake up, it means the potion has been digested. Send it to the hospital."

Among those who pinched Mr. Negishi hard, Mr. Negishi woke up.

"Awake?" Asai Xiang said, "Then it's all right. This means that the medicine was just poured down, or it was absorbed by the water-absorbing food, and it was not digested for a while. What did this person 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 Mori Kogoro," Yamazaki said, "We have been entrusted by an unknown person to follow and protect you for the past two days."

Masaki Negishi asked, "What is this place?"

"This is Chihuo Village, Gunma County," Yamazaki asked, "Do you know who tried to kill you, who brought you to your house?"

Trying to think back, 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 severe stomach pain, can you take me to the hospital."

"I'm sorry, I called it." Yamazaki said that he followed him, found him, and made him vomit again, as well as his own guess about it.

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

"No problem," Yamazaki said.

When Negishi Masaki went to the side to make a phone call, Yamazaki went to the center of the fire festival to look again, and found a place covered with floating soil that was suspicious. When he opened the floating soil, it was Mr. Negishi's driver's license, which was placed here on purpose , so that the discoverer can know the identity of the deceased at the first time.

Negishi Masaki returned from the phone call and returned the mobile phone to Yamazaki. Yamazaki returned the driver's license he found, and told him where he found it and his guess. After Negishi Masaki heard it, he buried the driver's license in the original place, and then cleaned up the things he vomited.

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

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

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

Before ten o'clock, Mori Detective Agency.

When Maori, who had nothing to do, watched Okino Yoko's TV drama video to soothe his wounded heart, Megure Police Department suddenly called.

"Maori, come here quickly, the results of the comparison of tooth models have come out," Megure Police Department said, "The charred body is not Negishi Masaki at all."

"What!" Molly cried, "I'll be right there."

Metropolitan Police Department, searched the offices of Division 1 and Division 3.

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

The counterfeit said that he had only heard the voice of that person, but had never seen anyone. He went to Negishi Masaki's house at six o'clock on Saturday morning as instructed. The key was hung behind the door plate, and then he played Negishi Masaki for a day, and left the next morning. Because he was afraid of being approached by someone suddenly, he wandered outside all day. He listened to the voice of the instructor three times in total. The first time was walking on the road, the phone booth rang, and he answered it curiously. He was asked for his identity and contact information, and then went to the designated place to get 10,000 yen. The second time I contacted him was to ask him to pretend to be Negishi Masaki for a day on Saturdays, and said that he could give him 500,000 yen. He agreed, and then went to the designated place to get 200,000 yen. The third time I contacted him on Monday, and then went to the designated place to get the remaining 300,000 yen.

Abe Futaka, who had already returned to the hospital, was invited again. Accompanied by lawyer Tatsumi, he said something with a smile. The police recorded it and asked the counterfeit to identify it, but the counterfeit said he had never heard of it.

Just as Abe was about to leave, Officer Sato came and turned on the TV and called the police department to watch. The noon news on TV was reporting that Negishi Masaki was not dead, and at the same time exposed the illegal operation of a manager of Fuhe Insurance. The compensation of RMB was given to the beneficiary.

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

Negishi Masaki talked about what happened in the early hours of Saturday, and said that he asked Yamazaki not to speak out for the time being, and asked the police and Maori detectives not to blame Yamazaki. He said that he has been looking for clues for the past few days to see who is trying to harm him. This morning Yamazaki told him that Abe was seriously suspected, so he thought of the insurance and planned to see the person who helped him and Abe. The manager of Fengban Insurance asked his subordinates to help make an appointment, but after going there, he found the car in the insurance company's parking lot.

The Mumu Police Department immediately ordered someone to invite the insurance manager and bring the car back. ...
