Chapter 499: Next Stop
I know what Xiong Shan Ai means, she is equivalent to saying: Ye Xuan got a different clue than you.
I took Ye Xuan's sketch and took a look, and I could see from the other party's hairstyle and outfit that he was not a modern person.
I took the painting and said, "Miss Xiongshan, please help me check, who is this person?"
"Don't check, I've seen this person. Xiong Shan Ai took out his mobile phone and pulled up a photo and handed it to me.
The photo is a newspaper, the time should be around the seventies, and the newspaper devotes most of the page to a female star who committed suicide, including a photo of the female star on the front. That person was exactly the same as the person Ye Xuan had drawn. The news showed that the man had committed suicide at home, not at some station.
I returned my phone to Ai Kumayama: "Is there a station where the star killed himself?"
Kumayama Ai said: "It's not far from the train station at that time. ”
I nodded, "Is there a station built near the Dharma field or the guillotine?"
"Yes!" Kumayama nodded, "There is a guillotine near the station, and legend has it that headless ghosts can be seen roaming around the station on the midnight train." ”
In the old days, executions would choose places with a large flow of people, in order to get more people to come and watch the beheading, and increase the deterrent effect. In the Qing Dynasty, the Caishikou where prisoners were executed was a typical legal field. In other places, the Dharma field may be selected at a street intersection, an intersection or something like that. The same is true for foreign countries to choose a law field.
I said in a deep voice, "That court executed a certain woman, right?"
Xiong Shan Ai nodded and said, "Every court executes women, but there was an execution of a poisonous woman who murdered her husband, and it is said that she kept shouting her lover's name when she was dying. ”
"Takahashi Aden?" I couldn't help but frown.
I didn't know much about Toyo, but I stumbled across the woman's name on the information.
She was the last person to be beheaded in Toyo, and the person in charge of the execution was Yoshira Yamada, the last generation of the Toyo executioner family. It is said that Takahashi was always looking for her lover Ichitaro Ogawa in the crowd at the time of the execution. The more Takahashi couldn't find the other party, the more eager he was to see Ichitaro for the last time.
Before the executioner took the knife, Takahashi kept twisting his body, desperately shouting the name of Ogawa Ichitaro, and the executioner was so distraught that he slashed three times before cutting off Takahashi's head.
The executioner was ridiculed and withdrew from the stage of Oriental history.
After Takahashi's death, no less than ten films about her were made. Whether it is a legend or movie material, it has been passed down in the East.
I said in a deep voice: "Did that self-killing female star play Takahashi Achuan?"
Xiong Shanai nodded and said, "I have acted, and it has been quite successful." ”
Ai Kumayama didn't wait for me to ask again, but said, "Do you want to ask about the whereabouts of Takahashi's body? ”
I said with a smile: "It seems that you have also traced the clue of Takahashi?"
"Of course!" Xiong Shan Ai said: "I said, the first three levels of the thirteen drawings are not difficult, at least you can find clues with a little use of your brain." The key is to see which direction you look. ”
"Oh yes!" Ai Xiongshan seemed to suddenly remember something: "The identity of the corpse in the station, we have also checked, she is an ordinary female student, and she is also the first person to kill herself by lying on the track here, when her body was torn apart by the subway, but her head fell in the station." ”
But when her family buried her, they couldn't find her head. Until an onmyoji dug up her head from here. Onmyoji has overpassed her soul several times, but her head has returned here again and again. We suspect that without cracking the Thirteen Pictures, her soul will not rest in peace. ”
I gave Xiong Shan Ai a thumbs up: "You're so good! The three of them died not on the same line, right?"
"It's the opposite of each other!" said with a smile from Kumayama, "I'm just trying to help you as much as I can, so as not to miss a clue." ”
Originally, I was just looking for two clues, one was to go to the place where Takahashi Achuan was decapitated, and the other was to search for the cause of the female star's death. Now Ai Kumayama has added to me the cause of death of the flower girl.
When I choose one of these clues to follow, it starts the next game. However, I can only choose one of them, so that the picture I open may not be the truth.
Xiong Shan loves to smile like a flower: "Mr. Chen, I need to remind you that you must arrive at the next location within twenty hours to start the game, otherwise something very serious will happen?"
I casually asked, "How serious?"
"It's going to die!" Xiong Shanai bowed to me lightly after speaking: "I disturbed Mr. Chen's judgment, farewell!"
"Wait a minute!" I called out to Ai Kumayama, "I need all the information about those three people, the more detailed the better, even if it's just a legend." Prepare the documents and send them to the hotel for me. ”
"If you wish, I will find someone to arrange a hotel for you nearby. After speaking, Kumayama Ai disappeared into the darkness again.
The three of us also waited in the hotel near the subway station for less than half an hour, and someone sent me the information, Ye Xuan looked at the information and said, "The information of the little devil is really detailed." Old class, I think we should go after that Takahashi, I always feel that the clue is in her. ”
I shook my head slightly and said, "The clues on Takahashi's biography are too obvious, so obvious that it makes people think that it is the origin of the story." Surely someone of ours has followed Takahashi's lead before, have they succeeded?"
"The thirteen pictures are like a big tree with countless branches and leaves branching out from its main trunk, and we are now like stepping on the trunk of a tree and climbing up the branches, and a branch may branch into countless branches, and if you climb wrong, it is easy to fall. If we really chase the wrong branch, I'm afraid we will get farther and farther away from the main trunk. ”
Ye Xuan was also stunned by what I said, and he didn't know how to pick it up.
Jing Yuan spoke, "What if we are just standing on a certain leaf?"
Jing Yuan looked at me and said, "Chen Ye, don't you think the truth is the backbone of this tree? Perhaps no matter which path we take, we will lead to the truth. The person who folded on the road did not lose his way, but died in one of the stories. It's like we were in the subway station just now. ”
I turned my head to look at Jing Yuan and said, "What you said makes sense, Xuanzi, you bring the information over, and I'll take a look at it again." ”
