The middle-aged man felt that Fujii Nanami's anxious reaction was a bit strange. He observed Fujii Nanami's expression with confusion and answered truthfully, "Mr. Takegawa has never been to the village before, and he has not made a reservation for seafood in advance, so he is in the village." If the seafood is not fully booked, the seafood will be sold in the village square, and many merchants will drive there to buy..."
Nanami Fujii also realized that she had overreacted, and quickly softened her expression, lowering her head pretending to be embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, I got impatient without knowing it."
Chi Feichi looked back at Nanami Fujii, and said to the middle-aged man, "She has always been like this. Sometimes she speaks irritably. I hope you don't mind."
Fujii Nanami stared down at the ground.
By default, I am a person with a bad temper from time to time.
"Ah, it's nothing..." the middle-aged man couldn't help but comment, "I really can't tell. This lady looks like a very gentle person."
"Still gentle most of the time."
"Are you two lovers?"
"No, she is my senior and a partner who is going to Kansai for development. My girlfriend did not come with me this time."
"So that's it. My wife definitely said before that you two are not lovers because your behavior is not very intimate. I didn't expect that she was right this time!"
"Your wife is really good at judging people. Was she like this before?"
"Oh! She just likes to think about these things, but it's true that she always sees more accurately than me. There was one time before..."
The middle-aged man talked about his wife's past, and he said five things one after another before stopping.
Chi Feichi listened patiently to what the middle-aged man said, echoing a few words from time to time. When the middle-aged man stopped, he found a way to return to the previous topic, "Your wife's evaluation of them is really interesting... By the way, she did it before Have you met anyone from Zhuchuan Credit Information Agency? Does she have any opinions on those people? I would like to hear her advice."
"She is often at the seafood market. She should have seen the two times when people from the Zhuchuan Credit Information Society came to the village, but she didn't tell me... Wait a minute, I'll ask her to come over!"
The middle-aged man called his wife enthusiastically and introduced to her the situation of "young people coming to Kansai for development and encountering Takekawa Credit Information Agency's offer of cooperation." He also said that it is not easy for young children, so that the woman can listen. De sighed repeatedly, actively described the two people who came to the village from the Zhuchuan Credit Information Agency, and analyzed them carefully with his own eyes.
The seafood store owned by Zhuchuan Credit Information Co., Ltd. always comes to the village to buy seafood. There are always three people, the boss Zhuchuan, a tall and thin driver, and a big guy who is responsible for assisting the driver in moving things.
The concerns of middle-aged women are more life-like.
For example, Mr. Takegawa's sleeves are always not neatly arranged. He must not have a wife, or he may have been separated. If he had a wife, she would definitely help him straighten his shirts. No matter how careful a person is, there are still things that are difficult to take care of...
For example, the driver is a person who likes to take advantage. When buying seafood at the seafood market, he always finds reasons to get "gifts". Every time he goes around, he can take away more than ten kilograms of "gifts"...
For another example, the big guy looks honest and honest, but he is actually very shrewd. He knows a lot about seafood types and fishing seasons. He may have gone fishing in the past...
In general, the woman’s impression of the man named Zhuchuan is that he has a square face, a wide nose, and refreshing short hair. He wears casual jackets and jeans during both visits. His usual clothes should be easy to move around. Category 1: The clothes are clean but there are wrinkles in details such as cuffs. They live alone, work seriously, and have plans. They plan their return trip in advance every time. They are strict with those who work under them, but they rarely reprimand them harshly. His subordinates would not say too unpleasant things.
After chatting for a while, Chi Feichi felt that the couple had said everything they could. He lied that he had something to do in the afternoon, said goodbye to the couple and left.
Fujii Nanami was thinking about 'Takegawa's two accomplices' and followed Chi Feichi out of the village absentmindedly. When he arrived at the car parked on the side of the road, he remembered his previous question and asked aloud, "Mr. Chi, where did you start?" There must be a purpose for asking about the blue and gray car, right? Why are you asking about this? "
"The equipment left on the beach are large equipment that is not easy to buy and difficult to transport. If you want to send the equipment to such a hidden place, the other party should have its own transportation. Ordinary family cars will never be able to accommodate these machines. "What you need to consider are medium and large transport vehicles or off-road vehicles with buckets." Chi Feichi opened the car door, leaned into the back seat, took out the printed coast map provided by the Coast Guard, and placed the printed map on the front cover of the car. , leaned over and marked six circles on the map with a pen, "This is the specific location where the six devices were found. They are distributed on the coast, and there are roads nearby that can accommodate large trucks..."
Fujii Nanami immediately looked closer and nodded to confirm, "That's right."
Chi Feichi marked a point on the road near the circle on the far right, "One side of this road is a towering rock wall. The road is relatively narrow. It is easy for rocks to fall on the road on the side of the rock wall. We When we came to this corner this morning, the car turned around and saw a big rock on the side of the road. You had turned the steering wheel in time, but you still almost scraped the car body against the rock. At that time, I asked you to stop the car and turn on the rock. I looked through the car window at the big rock, which must have been blocked on the road for more than a month. A layer of sand fell on the leeward side of the rock, and some plants grew in the depression on the shady side... …”
Fujii Nanami thought about the thrill of almost hitting a rock in the morning, guessed what Chi Feichi meant, and tried to recall the situation of the big rock that blocked half of the road in the morning, "I also think that rock fell for a long time... What do you mean? Yes, when the people who transported the equipment to the coast were passing there, the medium and large vehicles used to transport the equipment probably scratched the rocks, right? Our vehicle is not big, and my reaction in the morning was already very fast. , but the car body still almost rubbed against the rock. If it is a medium to large car, the car body is indeed very likely to rub against the rock..."
"It's not very likely, but definitely," Chi Feichi stared at the map. "Look at the peeling coating of the equipment on the coast. Those equipment should have been placed there for less than a month. In other words, they were sent here. By that time, the big rock was already on the road. At the same time, the person who transported the equipment deliberately chose a relatively remote road section and area so that he could move the equipment without being noticed by others. However, they stayed behind The traces of the car will not be easily covered up by passing cars and passers-by. I saw a little bit of blue and gray paint on the top of the big rock, which should be the traces left by the car... Do you mind if I smoke?"
Fujii Nanami was surprised that there was such a clue on the road, and quickly shook her head and said, "If you don't mind, please."
Chi Feichi put the pen on the map and walked a few steps downwind before taking out the cigarette box. "In the morning, you found that there were rocks blocking the road, which would affect driving safety. Your first reaction was to call the city hall road management. According to the report, the rock has been blocked on the road for more than a month. If there were other cars passing through, they should have called the road management office to report the situation. In other words, in the past month, that section of road has probably been blocked. Only the other party's car and the car sent by the Coast Guard to investigate in the past two days passed by. Even if there are one or two exceptions, they may have gone to dump the body on the coast, and they are not good people."
"When I called the Road Management Office in the morning, they said that someone from the Wakasa Security Department had contacted them two days ago and that they would send someone to clean it up before tomorrow. However, before the Wakasa Security Department called, there was no one. Call them again to report this matter. There are indeed surprisingly few cars passing by on that road..." Fujii Nanami followed Chi Feichi's train of thought and analyzed, "In addition, you said that the car paint was rubbed on the top of the rock, which means that the car paint was left on the top of the rock. The vehicles with scratch marks are all medium and large vehicles, and they also meet the conditions of transporting equipment vehicles, so you can be sure that they are the marks left by the other party, right? After all, in the past month, I am afraid that only one medium and large vehicle has passed there... "
"Yes, the blue paint and the gray paint are distributed in the same area, and it doesn't look like they were left by two cars," Chi Feichi leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, looked calmly ahead, and continued his analysis, " Judging from the height of the rock, off-road vehicles and shorter trucks cannot rub their paint to the highest point of the rock. The other party must be driving a large truck. In addition, those medical equipment are relatively rare, and the other party wants to avoid them on the way. To be noticed, you have to choose a van or pull a plastic sheet over the truck. However, there are no suspected plastic sheet fibers left on the rock, which means that the other party did not pull the plastic sheet over the car, but drove a car. A large van painted in blue and gray."
Fujii Nanami stood by the hood of the car, looked at the map and nodded, then asked, "Then how do you know that the other party will go to the nearby fishing village to buy seafood? As long as you take such a remote road, you will not be noticed. , then, after they transport the equipment to the coast, it doesn’t matter if the truck leaves empty, right?”
"The paint peeling off of the equipment abandoned on the coast is different. Although the degree of sunlight and humidity in their environment is different, it may also cause the paint to peel off to different degrees, but the difference will not be that big. Those Some of the coatings on the equipment are still intact, but some have basically peeled off." Chi Feichi looked at the coastline in the distance and said softly, "If this happens, it means that the other party did not deliver the equipment on the same day. I did a rough calculation and found that the other party sent one piece of equipment at least two days apart. The six pieces of equipment took about half a month in total. They traveled back and forth to the coast for half a month and came every two days. If not, The other party is too idle, so it should be that the other party used something that others think is reasonable to cover up his behavior of moving equipment... Is it strange that I would think so? "
"Did you mean to go to a nearby fishing village for lunch before?" Fujii Nanami confirmed to Chi Feichi, "At that time, you suspected that the other party was buying seafood to cover it up, right?"
"That's right," Chi Feichi turned his head and looked at the map on the hood of the car, "Apart from buying seafood in the fishing village, there doesn't seem to be any place around here that is worth driving a van and driving there every two days. "
