  X-ray bright active galactic nuclei represent a unique astrophysical
laboratory for studying accretion physics around super-massive black holes. 4U
1344-60 is a bright Seyfert galaxy which revealed relativistic reflection
features in the archival XMM-Newton observation. We present the spectroscopic
results of new data obtained with the Suzaku satellite and compare them with
the previous XMM-Newton observation. The X-ray continuum of 4U 1344-60 can be
well described by a power-law component with the photon index ~ 1.7 modified by
a fully and a partially covering local absorbers. We measured a substantial
decrease of the fraction of the partially absorbed radiation from around 45% in
the XMM-Newton observation to less than 10% in the Suzaku observation while the
power-law slope remains constant within uncertainties. The iron line in the
Suzaku spectrum is relatively narrow, $\sigma=(0.08 \pm 0.02)$ keV, without any
suggestion for relativistic broadening. Regarding this, we interpret the iron
line in the archival XMM-Newton spectrum as a narrow line of the same width
plus an additional red-shifted emission around 6.1 keV. No evidence of the
relativistic reflection is present in the Suzaku spectra. The detected
red-shifted iron line during the XMM-Newton observation could be a temporary
feature either due to locally enhanced emission or decreased ionisation in the
innermost accretion flow.
