Boris Akunin. The diamond chariot (№ 152648)

- Times European not, go for Japanese.
What do you mean "Japanese"?
- Write a letter to his Majesty the Emperor. Will explain all the suspicions in the address of the superintendent Sugi. And kill myself, in proof of his sincerity.
- Yourself? Not Sougou? - Fandorin exclaimed in horror.
- Kill Sougou would be to punish the offender, and to commit a new crime. We have an ancient, noble tradition. Want to attract the attention of the authorities and society to some kind of mischief - make seppuku. Deceitful man cutting his stomach will not.
