Iijima Kazu also entered the woods.
Frankly speaking, Kiuchi Yiko's words still made him extremely concerned. He didn't think that Yachen's wife was still alive, and he didn't believe in the so-called strange talk. However, there is always a knot in my heart.
"So… "
In front of the old man, Kamiya Sayoko asked again: "I want to ask, so, where is Mr. Hasegawa Takuzo's younger sister? He also has a younger sister."
"Yes," the old man nodded and said, "I remember it very clearly. Mr. Takuzo's younger sister is named Sanae, Hasegawa Sanae. Ms. Sanae is a person who likes music very much. She plays the piano very well. His personality is also very quiet and docile, it's really pitiful, he was somehow killed by his own brother at a young age."
"I want to ask." Pei Qingyi suddenly interjected and asked in Japanese: "According to what you said, Mrs. Jia Shi and Mr. Tuozao's younger brother Jingzhi committed adultery, and Mr. Tuozao killed them all in the end. But Mr. Tuozao I also committed suicide, how did you find out about this? Did you leave a suicide note?”
"Yes, that's right. But it wasn't written in words. After Mr. Tuozao killed six people in his family, he wrote a paragraph on the wall with blood, explaining the reason for his killing, and then committed suicide."
Hearing this, Kamiya Sayoko stopped the pen she was holding for recording.
"Blood... characters? Can you be sure that those blood characters were written by Takuzo Hasegawa himself?"
"This..." the old man paused, and said, "Since the police thinks so, it should be right. Isn't it? Ms. Kamiya, you said that you are a detective from Kyoto. Do you have any new ideas?"
"What if the truth of this case is not like that? If...the murderer is someone else, it will be completely different."
As soon as Sayoko Kamiya said these words, Pei Qingyi immediately understood what she meant.
That is to say... This may be a reminder of the way out. The murderer who killed the seven members of the Hasegawa family may not be Hasegawa Takuzo, but there may be someone else. Could it be that if the real culprit is found out, the dead can be rested in peace and the residents will not be harmed anymore
However, how to investigate the case of forty years ago? Moreover, the statute of limitations has passed long ago, and it is impossible for the criminals to be brought to justice. Do they want them to kill the criminals with their own hands
Pei Qingyi still felt that something was wrong. These dead people must know the identity of the people who killed them. In this case, the ghosts will linger after death. If there is a wronged person and a debtor, he can go to the murderer and ask for his life. Why should the residents come to investigate? What about the truth
Unless... the apartment puts restrictions on it, so it is necessary to fake a living person to take revenge.
If this inference is correct, could it be that the real murderer is in Ye Shen Village? After all, it was impossible for them to leave Damuheiling, and Yeshen Village was the only place on the mountain where there were people.
Kamiya Sayoko did not express her opinion, but said to the old man in front of her, "Continue talking."
"Well, what else do you want to ask?"
"There are three more people? You mentioned just now, do you know the full name of the maid beside Mrs. Jiashi?"
"I really don't know about this. I only know that her name is Akui, but I don't know the rest. As for the two servants, I remember that one is called Acheng and the other is called Ajin."
"What's your impression of these three people?"
"Impressions... can't be called impressions. Ah Kui, Ah Cheng, and Ah Jin are just ordinary servants. I haven't seen these three people very much. That is, I have only met Aoi because she often follows Mrs. Jiashi." Several times."
"So... what do you think of the relationship between these seven people?"
Speaking of this, the old woman suddenly looked at Sayoko Kamiya with some vigilance, and asked, "Excuse me...Miss Kamiya? Why did you inquire so carefully? You said it was a detective from Kyoto, but the case was all forty years ago. What else are you investigating? When the Hasegawa family died, no one would entrust you to investigate?"
Although the old woman is old, she still seems to be very shrewd.
Kamiya Sayoko reacted very quickly. She put down her notebook and said without changing her expression, "It's because of that strange story. There have been disappearance cases because of this strange story before, right? I want to conduct some investigations on this."
"So that's how it is..." The old woman was relieved and said, "Frankly speaking, I don't know if there is a ghost. After all, at that time, everyone had a nose and an eye, so..."
"I'm going to continue with the question just now." Sayoko Kamiya didn't waste any time, and continued to ask: "According to what you said, the adultery between Mrs. Jiashi and her uncle was not surprising to you, but, according to what was later said, Mr. Takuzao sent him I suspect that these people have concealed this adultery. So... do you think Miss Sanae knows about Mrs. Jiashi's adultery?"
"How could I know that..."
Koyoko Kamiya blinked her eyes, and said, "Or, let me ask it another way. What do you think is the relationship between Mr. Hasegawa Takuzo's younger sister, Ms. Sanae, and her two older brothers?"
At this moment, Sima Zhen tugged at Pei Qingyi's clothes, and asked softly, "Can you translate their conversation? I can't understand it at all, it's too fast."
Pei Qingyi said without looking back: "My notes are all written in Chinese, you should be able to understand them, right?"
This time, because they were going to Japan, Sima Zhen, Sui Wenbin, and Wu Xuanlin all went to make up for their Japanese, but during this period of time, it was too late to even recite the fifty-sound table, and Sima Zhen was known as an otaku, but Lian Ping Kana and katakana can't be distinguished, so I can only read some daily conversations. However, because she didn't know what names like "Takuzao", "Jiashi", and "Sanae" were written in Chinese characters, Kamiya Sayoko could only write the Roman characters in the notebook first, and Pei Qingyi also wrote the Chinese characters based on guesswork.
"Relationship?" The old woman tilted her head and thought about it when she heard Shengu Xiaoyezi's question, and said, "I don't remember this. Usually, they all live in that big house, and they don't often come to Yeshen Village. .”
Because this passage was spoken slowly, Sima Zhen finally understood a few words. After all, he has watched countless Japanese dramas and cartoons, such as "Naruto", "Bleach", "One Piece", "Gintama", etc., he watched the original animations, so he can listen to daily words after a long time understand some.
However, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin are different. These two usually don't watch Japanese anime and dramas at all, so they don't understand at all. Although they all leaned over to read Pei Qingyi and Kamiya Sayoko's notes, they were all written in a rather sloppy manner. There is no guarantee that the old woman's words will not have a reminder of the way to survive. They are all sweating profusely, this is a matter of life and death! At this time, they all looked enviously at Pei Qingyi who could speak and speak Japanese. And they are also worried, will they tell all the information completely and truthfully next? In case, if you want to use one of them to test whether a certain way of life is feasible or not, wouldn't it be a very wrong death? After all, if you don't understand the language, you can't prove whether their words are true or false.
Sui Wenbin had already rummaged through a book of commonly used Japanese conversations in his hand, and Wu Xuanlin was clutching a "Japanese Dictionary" that could be used as a pillow. The latter made up his mind that the old woman must write down what she just said next, and then look it up in the dictionary. He didn't trust Sayoko Kamiya and Pei Qingyi too much. In comparison, the dictionary was definitely much more credible.
However, Wu Xuanlin was also a little worried, would the dictionary in his hand be replaced by a ghost? Will the ghost simply tamper with his memory? The more I read the blood character analysis form, the more suspicious and fearful I became.
At the end of the question, it was obvious that the old lady couldn't say anything. Then, Kamiya Sayoko asked the last question.
"Do you remember... Mrs. Jiashi, Miss Sanae, and Aoi, among the three, who is wearing a white kimono?"
When Sima Zhen heard the word "ホワイト" (white), his eyes widened immediately. He quickly said to Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin: "Hey, hey, listen up, Miss Kamiya is asking about the white kimono."
Hearing this, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin also pricked up their ears. After all, both of them have been working hard on Japanese for a few days, and they can no longer understand words like "yes" or "no", so the money for buying textbooks is thrown into the stinky ditch.
When the old woman heard this, her complexion changed obviously. Then, she said slowly: "Yes, that's right. Mrs. Jia Shi often wears a white kimono. When she came to Ye Shen Village, she wore this kimono many times."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Gu Sayoko's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and Pei Qingyi's expression also changed. As for the expressions of Sima Zhen, Sui Wenbin, and Wu Xuanlin, they were even more exciting.
Sure enough
They recalled that when they appeared in front of the car, the woman wearing a Baise kimono flashed by. Because of her side face, she couldn't see clearly at all, but the white kimono left a deep impression on them.
What I saw at that time...was Mrs. Jia Shi who was killed forty years ago
Iijima Kazuya also entered the deep forest, and he had already begun to approach the mountains on the east side. He doesn't believe in ghost stories and legends at all. However, after all, this matter involved Yachen's wife who had passed away for many years. If Miyo is really still alive, as Masato's friend, he can't hide this matter, right
The closer you get to the suspension bridge, the denser and more luxuriant the nearby trees are, and most of the sunlight is blocked, making the surroundings look very deep. Although Iijima Kazuya does not believe in ghosts and gods, he still has some palpitations.
"Is this where Yiko said she saw Miyo?"
It was less than a hundred meters away from the suspension bridge. If it wasn't for the obstruction of the trees in front of him, he could already see the cliff and the suspension bridge at this moment. At least, the sound of the water flow had already reached Kazuya's ears.
"However, what is that female detective doing in Yegami Village? Could it be that Masaki commissioned her to investigate Miyo's death? Well, with Masato's character, it's very possible, and under the influence of Miyo, he should also trust that detective. .”
At this time, he suddenly recalled the disappearance of Yizi's mother. At that time, Yizi was still a child, her father died before she was born, and when Yizi was three years old, her mother disappeared inexplicably.
At that time, some people also said that this had something to do with that strange talk. Although it is an unfounded statement, there have indeed been some cases of disappearances in the village in the past forty years, but the age is too long, and no one has done research.
Finally, he came to the front of the suspension bridge.
Do you want to go up? and are also considering. He stared at the opposite side of the suspension bridge, and because of the cover of countless trees, he couldn't see the mansion clearly. In recent years, these woods have grown denser and denser.
"Is Yiko really mistaken?" Kazuya scratched his head and said, "She must have mistaken someone who looks somewhat similar to Miyo as her. How about I go back first? Even if I come, I will do it next time." Come with Goro."
However, for some reason, Kazuya still stepped onto the suspension bridge.
"Forget it, we're all here. It's okay to take a few more steps, right?"
He walked at a slow pace. Although the suspension bridge is not made of wood, who knows if there will be any problems after many years. There is a deep stream below. He still walked very carefully, and he didn't even dare to look up. Touch the ground under your feet.
Just as he walked to the center of the bridge, Kazuya, who had been looking at the ground, saw a pair of feet wearing clogs in his eyes...
