Miyuki Miyabeの「火車」All She Was Worthを読んでいます。
Shoko SekineになりすましたのはKyoko Shinjoであることと突き止めたHonmaはKyokoがどのようにしてShoko Sekineの事を知ったのかを調べているところです。
Funaki made a face. He wasn't familiar with even the basics of word processing, and had littel patience with the subject.
"It wouldn't be any easier for her to try to hack her way into the right system either. That's got to be risky. The computer links with the outside--back and forth between the warehouse and distribution center--they have their own reserved phone lines, with unlisted numbers. Now even assuming that, as an insider, Kyoko Shinjo might have been able to get the phone numbers, that alone wouldn't be enough. You can't withdraw money with just a PIN number and no cash card. According to Wada, it's the same thing."
Funaki scowled. "So that deep-sixes this angle for the time being?"
"Seems so. But only the part about Kyoko using the computers herself to ge the data."

・Collins Dictionary: a discarding or disposing of something
Origin: from six feet deep, the traditional depth for a grave
・Dictionary.com: complete rejection or ruin: The prescription for U.S. policy, then, should be clear: deep-six the sequester.
・McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: to get rid of someone or something; to dispose of someone or something. (Refers originally to burying someone or something six feet deep, the standard depth of a grave.) Take this horrible food out and deep-six it. That guy is a pain. Deep-six him so the cops will never find him.
