Peiping was very quiet at 3 o'clock in the morning, and the people in the car were also silent. In the silent air, Bai Mu and his party soon arrived at the super high school station.
Looking at this place that he had visited several times but never entered, Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but sigh a little - he didn't expect that the first time he came here would be in his current capacity.
"Mr. Zhou, is this your first time here?" Zhuuchi couldn't help but ask when he saw Geng Chaozhong looking around the station.
"Yes, legend has it that this is a very eerie place." Geng Chaozhong forced a smile on his tense face.
"Whether it's scary or not depends on whether they are guilty or not. For guilty people, this is hell on earth." Bai Mu on the side spoke.
"So I have nothing to fear." Geng Chaozhong spread his hands.
"Let's go!"
Bai Mu opened the car door and walked out.
After walking into the heavily guarded door and walking through a windy corridor, a few people finally arrived in front of an ordinary-looking house. However, before they walked in, the three of them smelled the pungent fort in the air.
Marin smell.
"Here we are," Bai Mu's words were as brief as ever, "Let's meet the section chief first."
"Kawasaki-kun?"
Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. A green color suddenly appeared on his face, and he didn't know whether it was cold or frightened.
"good."
Bai Mu pushed open the door and walked in first. Takeuchi hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to pull Geng Chaozhong into the room.
The room was dark and cold. A dim electric light inside painted all the scenery a grayish yellow. There were several operating beds side by side in the room. Each bed was covered with a layer of white cloth. Bai Mu walked to one of them.
In front of the bed, something covering it was opened.
Kawasaki!
His pale face was slightly swollen, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was a very weird-looking smile on the corner of his mouth. When the three people saw his face, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
"This...how did Kawasaki-kun die?"
After being stunned for a while, Geng Chaozhong finally asked.
"Mr. Zhou is very courageous. If most people walk to a place like this in the middle of the night, they might not be able to stand firmly, but Mr. Zhou can actually calm down and ask questions." Bai Mu's slightly mocking voice came.
As Bai Mu could see, although Geng Chaozhong's face was pale, he still maintained considerable composure. He shook his head slightly and said:
"Chinese people have worshiped ghosts and gods since they were born. Aren't the ancestors enshrined in ancestral halls also dead?"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary person, he sees things thoroughly," Bai Mu sneered, "However, I still want to know the question I asked you just now, why did he drink too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Baime raised his hand and lifted up the white cloth on the other corpse. That corpse was none other than Kawasaki driver Yanagawa.
Yanagawa's expression was very calm, almost as if he was asleep, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
"I have just answered." Geng Chaozhong glanced at the body and stopped looking at him. "I don't know either. In short, Mr. Kawasaki and this gentleman were both drunk. When they went out, I believe many people
Everyone has seen it.”
"Someone is coming!"
Bai Mu suddenly spoke, and a military policeman walked in. Bai Mu waved and said, "Bring a few waiters on duty that night over here!"
The military policeman agreed, and soon, several waiters in the salon, escorted by the military policemen, walked in timidly. When they saw Geng Chaozhong, they were happy at first, but when they saw the situation in the room clearly, their faces
Immediately they showed frightened expressions, and a few of them were timid and simply sat down on the ground.
"Look at these two people, did they drink when they went out?" Bai Mu asked coldly.
"Take a look and tell Taijun honestly." Geng Chaozhong also ordered.
Bai Mu glanced at Geng Chaozhong and told him to shut up. Then the military police pulled a few people over and identified the body. One of them boldly took a look at Geng Chaozhong and said:
"Sir, they are all drunk. I saw them staggering when walking. They smelled of alcohol. They obviously drank a lot."
"Are you sure?" Bai Mu stared at this man.
"Sure, who can't smell such a strong smell of alcohol!" the man replied.
"Yes, we smelled it too!" The remaining people also chimed in.
Byakume looked gloomy and asked a few more questions, but these people seemed to be sure that both Kawasaki and Yanagawa had drank.
Geng Chaozhong secretly laughed. Two people helped a drunk man out. Even if he didn't drink, others would think he was drunk. This is simply the inertia of thinking. Besides, how can you tell at a glance whether he is drunk or not?
Bai Mu's expression was ugly, but what happened today was so strange that he had to ask clearly. After a pause, he spoke again:
"Let me ask you another question, your boss Zhou, that is, him," Bai Mu pointed at Geng Chaozhong, "Where are you tonight?"
"I've been in the salon all the time, and the boss sang for everyone, and in the end he spent a lot of money." The group of people started talking again, with a bit of excitement on their faces.
"Always singing?" Bai Mu looked at everyone.
"Yes, I kept singing, maybe for an hour. Then when I got tired of singing, I started throwing money away. Everyone in the audience saw it!" several people said.
Bai Mu closed his eyes, thought briefly for a while, and asked a few more questions, but the answer he got was that the boss was singing and never left the salon.
"Take it out!" Baime finally lost his patience.
The military police led a few people out, and calm returned to the morgue.
"Mr. Bai Mu, can you tell me what happened? I don't know what happened until now." Geng Chaozhong spoke.
"Mr. Takeuchi, talk to him."
Bai Mu was tired and found a place to sit down - yes, all signs pointed to it being an accident. It was pointless to check so hard.
Takeuchi began to tell what happened. Geng Chaozhong listened, nodded, and occasionally asked a few questions. After half an hour, Takeuchi finally came to the end of the story:
"After I woke up, I found myself in the water. Kawasaki-kun was unconscious in the driver's seat, as was the driver. I wanted to save them, but it was too late. In the end, I had to swim back to the shore by myself and notify Shirome-kun to come.
Pick someone up.”
"Is there no one else around?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"No, it's just the three of us. I think Kawasaki-kun was drunk and drove the car into the river. Fortunately, I woke up early..." Byakume said with a scared look on his face.
"do not talk!"
Baime next to him suddenly interrupted Takeuchi, "If it weren't for you, how could the section chief have died? The section chief doesn't usually drink. If I hadn't seen you today, I wouldn't have drank at all! Also, if you hadn't persuaded me
Drinking, how could I be drunk?! Baga, you bastard!"
Byakume became angrier as he spoke, jumped up suddenly, and grabbed Takeuchi's neck.
Takeuchi was speechless, and he was no stronger than Byakumu, so he could only struggle desperately, but Byakumu's hand tightened tighter and tighter, almost strangling him to death. Takeuchi looked at Geng Chaozhong with helpless eyes, and Geng Chaozhong could only sigh helplessly.
He took a breath and said:
"Baime-kun, please calm down, it's time to think about how to deal with the aftermath!"
"Aftermath?" Bai Mu turned his head and stared at Geng Chaozhong, "By the way, there is also you. If it weren't for you, how could the section chief have died?!"
After that, he let go of Takeuchi and rushed towards Geng Chaozhong again.
"Mr. Bai Mu, if we don't find a way, not only will I suffer, but you two will too!" Geng Chaozhong dodged slightly and said.
"If we suffer, we must cut you into pieces first!" Bai Mu rushed up and grabbed Geng Chaozhong's collar tightly. However, his eyes had regained some calmness. Apparently, Geng Chaozhong's words reminded him
he.
"Mr. Bai Mu, you haven't informed your superiors about the section chief's death, have you?" Geng Chaozhong looked at Bai Mu and said calmly.
"No, what's wrong?" Bai Mu asked involuntarily.
"It's okay if you don't. If the higher-ups know that Kawasaki-kun drowned while driving drunk, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it!" Geng Chaozhong spoke quickly and quickly, and then looked at Takeuchi:
"And Mr. Takeuchi, if the higher authorities investigate, your responsibility will not be small!"
"It's time to think of a way," Takeuchi came over and patted Shirame's shoulder gently, "Shirome, let's think of a way first!"
Bai Mu loosened Geng Chaozhong's collar.
"I don't think Section Chief Kawasaki drowned while drunk. We have to think of another cause of death for him." Geng Chaozhong spoke again.
"You don't have to worry about our Japanese affairs!" Bai Mu glared at Geng Chaozhong fiercely.
"Mr. Bai Mu, we are all parties involved, so let's listen to Mr. Zhou's opinion. Mr. Zhou usually deals with consuls from various countries. He must have a way." Takeuchi comforted.
"Sit down and let the three of us talk slowly. If Mr. Kawasaki dies like this, it will be uncomfortable for you two and my salon will not be able to continue." Geng Chaozhong also frowned.
The eyes of the three people flickered. You looked at me, and I looked at you. After a while, several people regained some composure, and they were silent for a while. Takeuchi was the first to speak:
"Bai Mu, I was sent to Peking because of my alcoholism. If I am found to be drunk again this time, I'm afraid I will have to return to China, and maybe I will lose my position."
"The section chief is dead. I have the responsibility to protect the disadvantaged. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to serve in the army." Baimei sat down with a bitter look on his face.
"My salon - if there is a murder case, how can I continue to open it in the future?" Geng Chaozhong also sat on the ground.
"What should we do?" Takeuchi asked.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
"Forget it, let me tell you," Geng Chaozhong shook his head and sighed, "Kawasaki-kun can't be drunk and drown. He just lost his way while driving late at night and strayed into the lake. This was an accident."
"Yes, it was an accident." Takeuchi nodded.
Bai Mu said nothing.
PS: Replace it later.
"do not talk!"
Baime next to him suddenly interrupted Takeuchi, "If it weren't for you, how could the section chief have died? The section chief doesn't usually drink. If I hadn't seen you today, I wouldn't have drank at all! Also, if you hadn't persuaded me
