Chapter 0001: The Death of the Head of the Yamazaki Family
On a rainy night, a certain old man's mansion.
The brightly lit main house is particularly eye-catching in the dark night. In the living room on the first floor, the guests are in a group, whispering and polite, and the host's right foot is wrapped in plaster and sitting in a wheelchair and pushed by the servants, wandering among the guests, and the high-minded talk is particularly eye-catching. However, there is a person standing quietly against the wall in the corner, with an unobtrusive public appearance, wearing an ordinary and ordinary black dress, definitely the role of passer-by. Misaki Yamazaki, 16 years old, 2nd year B class of Kidan High School in Rice Flower Town. Today, I attended the banquet of this family with my father, the current head of the Yamazaki family, Yamazaki Hyeon. Watching my father shuttle through the venue, he disappeared after a while. Misaki Yamazaki stood quietly with a glass of red wine in his hand, alone in his own world, as if he were not in the venue.
The rain became lighter and lighter, and gradually stopped, and the drinking party was already past the halfway point. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. At the sound of gunshots, Cape Yamazaki's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition enveloped him. Looking around, there was no sign of his father, and he hurriedly rushed to the place where the gun rang out. When I got to a room on the third floor, I pushed the door, locked it, punched out the lock, and then pushed the door in. The father fell to the ground on his back in front of the balcony and was shot dead. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were wide open, and he walked up quickly to look, and it was pitch black all around, and he didn't find any suspicious characters by the light coming out of the window in the hall on the first floor, and said to the people who followed behind: "Call the police, protect the scene." Then he jumped off. There were no footprints on the wet ground after the rain, and I walked back to the hall along the window and asked if there was any other exit. I also understood where the phone was, "I'm Misaki Yamazaki, let Uncle Feng answer the phone." Without waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged male voice said, "Young master, my lord asked me to call to understand the situation." "Uncle Feng, my father was killed, and the murderer is unknown, but I believe it will be clear soon, please bear with me for the time being." "Adults mean lineage. "I see. "Where's the guard?" "The four bodyguards should have fled." "I'll take care of it. Hanging up the phone, Yamazaki returned to his original corner, keeping an eye on the door, quietly waiting for the police to arrive.
"Woo" the police arrived. A chubby policeman wearing a beige trench coat and a beige garden hat led the team. Gather everyone in the hall to understand the basic situation, and the forensic personnel will investigate and collect evidence at the scene. A few minutes later, it was reported that footprints were found on the ground. When the police asked, Yamazaki Misaki stepped forward and said calmly: "I am Yamazaki Misaki, the footprints are mine, I looked around under the balcony and found no other footprints." The gossip of the crowd finally proved Yamazaki Misaki's words. The policeman introduced himself: "I am the Twilight Police Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division Investigation Division, Misakihito Yamazaki, and the victim Yamazaki is ......" "My father. The calm tone sounded cold and piercing to the Dusk Police Department. "Please, can you describe your experience tonight?" Yamazaki recounted.
At this time, the owner of this house, the old man, shouted in the crowd: "Please, Dusk Police Department, you are endless, how long are you going to detain my guests, I don't have time to accompany you to do this kind of search without evidence." The Twilight Police Department was not angry, "Alright, alright, sir, besides, the victim was a guest at your banquet, but Mr. Yamazaki was killed here, please bear with me." When Yamazaki saw the two talking, he stepped aside to avoid getting in the way of the police.
The old man was furious when he heard the words of the Twilight Police Department, "You mean to say that the suspect is among us!" Before the Twilight Police Department could answer, a voice came from outside the door, "That's it." The affirmative tone is eye-catching. Yamazaki Misaki felt familiar when he heard the voice, and when he turned his head, a handsome young man wearing a high school uniform walked in, and sure enough, it was him. I heard in the class that he was helping the police solve the case, and if it was true, it would be a lot less trouble.
"The murder scene is a secret room with the door locked from the inside, and the prisoner sneaked in through the next window on the third floor, and then exited through the window, and there were no footprints of the prisoner under the window. The old man shouted, "What nonsense! There is at least 10 meters from the window next door, and it is absolutely impossible to jump over." "If you use the eaves of the next window, you will only be less than 2 meters away from the balcony of Mr. Yamazaki's room. "Hmph, what a naΓ―ve reasoning, then why should he leave like this? It is 2 meters away from the balcony, and the eaves are only about 10 centimeters, how can he jump up?" the old man retorted. Yamazaki Misaki looked at the old man, and when he heard what he said just now, the eaves were only about 10 centimeters, and the murderer should be him, but his legs?
The reasoning continued, "The prisoner came from the next room with a rope tied with him, and when he left, he went back along the rope fastened to the balcony. The Twilight Police Department didn't understand and asked, "But how do you untie the rope attached to the balcony?" "It's very simple, the Twilight Police Department, tie a stick to the front end of the rope, and then get stuck on the balcony, and relax the stick when it is recovered." If you take a look at the balcony, you should be able to spot the traces left by the rope. The police department asked, "But why is Mr. Yamazaki in a closed room?" "Maybe the prisoner told him that there was something confidential and told him to lock it inside and wait for him to come in." Yamazaki Misaki thought that it was true that his father had come to ask for a debt today, but it seemed to have become an information deal.
The old man shouted, "Enough, you talk too much nonsense!Who the hell killed my friend Mr. Yamazaki!" "Knowing the structure of this house, it didn't arouse any suspicion at the time, and there was only one person who could move around the room at will, and that was ......" The Twilight Police Department was nervous: "That's ......" Everyone's hearts were lifted, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
The young man pointed to the old man and shouted, "Master, it's you!" The old man was shocked and forced a smile: "Don't be joking, besides, my feet haven't recovered yet." "There is always only one truth!" the boy picked up the globe behind him, which was decorated with a globe larger than his head, and threw it at the old man's head. The old man instinctively dodged away, and stood on the ground with his feet. The maid pushing the wheelchair exclaimed, "Old, sir, your feet!" Yamazaki Misaki suddenly saw that.
"Oh no, no, no," the old man panicked for a moment. "Your foot was healed 3 months ago. Isn't it, the Twilight Police Department!" The Twilight Police Department finally showed the demeanor of the police department, "You are dead! Your attending doctor has told us everything, and besides, you and your good friend Mr. Yamazaki have a private financial relationship. The old man was already in chaos at this time, and turned around to escape from the door. "Don't try to escape!" the boy kicked out of the globe, "bang" hit the back of the head, and put the old man down on the spot, "GOAL!" The old man was immediately taken away by the police.
The Twilight Police Department sent the boy out, and the case was resolved, and the Twilight Police Department was very happy, and slapped the young man's back vigorously, making a "horn" sound, while saying, "You've helped a lot again, Brother Kudo, I'm sorry to let you do it all the time." "I'm sorry I didn't see it, but Kudo was about to be slapped down. Kudo looked proud, "Where, where." He put his left hand in his trouser pocket and pointed to his right thumb, "If there is another case that can't be solved, please come to me, Detective Kudo Shinichi." "The flashing lights are wild. Misakihito Yamazaki confirms that the teenager is his classmate, high school student detective Shinichi Kudo.
Misaki Yamazaki sent Kudo Shinichi into the police car and left first, walked out of the hall, stood under the steps at the exit of the hall, turned and stood against the steps. The Twilight Police Department stepped forward and said, "Please mourn." Yamazaki Misaki waved his hand and did not speak, and stood with his head bowed and his eyes closed. Seeing that Yamazaki did not speak, the Twilight Police Department went back to work, and the guests and reporters left one after another. More than 10 minutes after the last reporter left, shouts came from the front door of the mansion: "Stop! stop!" Behind him, the intercom of the Dusk Police Department transmitted a warning from the police in front of the door.
The Twilight Police Department led people out and stood on the steps, only to see the front of the nine cars facing the steps at the exit of the hall, stopping in an arc one after another. The headlights lit up in front of the door, stabbing the eyes of the police department and others. The light came from behind Misaki Yamazaki, who was standing in front of the steps, and Misaki Yamazaki seemed even darker at this time. There was a sound of the car door, and the Twilight Police Department covered their eyes and eyebrows, shouting, "Who are you?" At this time, the lights dimmed, and the Twilight Police Department looked and saw about 30 people getting off the car and forming an arc around the steps, partially blocking the light, making the light dim again.
There were three people, one of whom followed the first two, and went out of the crowd. There were also two people with blankets on both sides that were black on the outside and white on the inside, and there were three people standing behind each blanket. The dim light made it impossible to see what the group of people in total darkness were doing, but it gave people a tense and solemn atmosphere.
When he got closer, the first one was a middle-aged man, "Well, what is he holding?" The Twilight Police Department was startled, and shouted to Yamazaki Misaki Ren who was blocking the entrance of the steps: "Get out of the way!" I wanted to go down, but who knew that the middle-aged man bowed behind Yamazaki Misaki and saluted, "Young Master!" Yamazaki Misaki turned around, and the middle-aged man held a pitch-black katana in both hands and turned sideways to make way.
The other two tall men saluted and walked towards the Twilight Police Department, who only then did the Twilight Police Department realize that the two men were taller, taller than themselves on one of the steps. The Twilight Police Department looked wary and drank again: "Stop!" and as the two stood side by side at the foot of the steps, the Twilight Police Department found that their view was completely blocked. Suddenly, there was an exclamation behind him, and the Twilight Police Department was stunned for a moment, and then felt that the bright light in the gap in front of him flashed, and there was a shout from behind him, "Twilight Police Department!" The Twilight Police Department reacted, and wanted to go down but couldn't get through, and the policemen on the steps pulled out their guns and rushed down.
"Let them come. A middle-aged man's voice rang out. The two of them stepped out of the way, and the twilight police department looked at it, Yamazaki Misaki was standing in the middle with his back to him, holding something in front of him with his hands, and the two men were kneeling on the white blankets that had just been laid out on either side of the steps, each with a plate of white cloth and something like that in front of them.
The two men held their stomachs with their hands, their eyes wide open, and they maintained this strange posture. Then the body slowly fell forward, and suddenly there were two soft sounds, "bang", "bang", and the police were shocked. The head on the plate was still facing the steps, his eyes were wide open, but his mouth was wide open, as if he were screaming silently. Red blood dripped from between the white teeth and onto the white cloth, and blood spurted from the neck, staining the white blanket red. The strange thing is that there is not a drop of blood on the outside of the blanket, and the white blanket is like a bloodthirsty demon, with an abnormal attachment to blood.
The whole scene, the headless corpse, the bright red blood, and the strong smell of blood, formed a picture of hell, impacting the approaching Twilight Police Department and all the police. The policemen were stunned on the spot, and the Twilight Police Department shouted, "Yamazaki Misaki, what the hell have you done!" The policemen were awakened and raised their guns forward, waiting for the order of the Twilight Police Department. Yamazaki turned around, and it turned out that Yamazaki was wiping a katana, a handkerchief in each hand, one hand on the blade, and the other on the hilt. The middle-aged man stepped forward with a pitch-black katana scabbard in both hands and saluted the Twilight Police Department first, "Please wait." Yamazaki put the knife back into the sheath, folded the white handkerchief and put it in the breast pocket of the suit worn by the middle-aged man, and put the red one in the breast pocket of his own suit, which should have been placed there.
Misaki Yamazaki bowed to the Twilight Police Department and turned to walk onto the car in the middle with a knife. The police department was stunned by his big gift, and hurriedly reached out to grab it when he saw that he was leaving, "Hey......" The middle-aged man moved and got stuck in the middle, "You ......" "Cough!" The middle-aged man saluted again, "Introduce yourself, Yamazaki Mine, the current housekeeper of the Yamazaki family." With a wave of his hand, a person behind him stepped forward with a stack of papers, bowed down and offered it with both hands, and Yamazaki Feng took it and handed it out, "This is a copy of the contract they signed before." The man fell back into his place.
A quick glance at the Twilight Police Department, there are four contracts, to the effect that they will volunteer to serve as the guard of the rugged mountain, and the Lord will die and die together. It is stamped with several seals, among which there is a seal representing the Metropolitan Police Department, and at the end there is a strange seal. In the center of this seal is a mountain peak, which looks like a mountain character, surrounded by a circle of teeth, and if you look closely, the mountain character is in the mouth of the shark's skull.
"This, this ......" The Twilight Police Department was taken aback, "You, you are ......" "It seems that the Twilight Police Department recognizes this sign, and this is even simpler." Yamazaki smiled slightly, looking very personable, but to the Twilight Police Department, it looked more like the face of the demon before eating. "Yamazaki Hyeon, the current head of the family?" the voice of the Twilight Police Department trembled a little. "Don't get excited, Dusk Police Department, our young master is very reasonable. Yamazaki Feng waved his hand again, and another person behind him stepped forward with a stack of papers, bowed down and offered it with both hands, and Yamazaki Feng took it, "You and I are both lucky this time." The man fell back into his place. Yamazaki Feng paused, stood up and said, "My lord ordered" directly. Then he handed the paper to the Twilight Police Department and said, "According to our information, the guy is single and has no immediate family. Here's the information of all the people involved, let them declare that they will cut ties with that guy and let them go. The Twilight Police Department seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then, that guy ......" Yamazaki Feng said with a smile: "The young master said that the Yamazaki family abides by the law, and we don't embarrass him, but don't come out if you go in." β
Yamazaki stomped his feet, "And this mansion can't see the sun tomorrow, let your people hurry up." "Do you want to ......" The upright heart of the Twilight Police Department did not allow this to happen, clenched his fists, glared angrily at Yamazaki Mine, and shouted: "No! This is a crime!" "From tomorrow onwards, this land and everything on it will belong to the Yamazaki family." "What!" "You can check with that guy to make sure that this guy borrowed money as collateral." "I will. β
Yamazaki took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and put it away again, "It starts at zero o'clock, and there is still 1 hour and 30 minutes." Tell the people here that they can take what they can with them, but that the room can't be moved, and that you don't make it look messy when you pick up things. This is a gift from the benevolent Yamazaki family, tell them to keep it in mind. The corners of the Dusk Police Department's mouth twitched, "Benevolence, benevolence......" "Of course." Yamazaki replied, "Okay, you can go if you're fine, we still have something to do." "Almost, pack up the bodies of these two samurai. Yamazaki took a few steps back, gave up his position, and said in a loud voice, "Please be careful, they are respectable samurai." β
The Twilight Police Department returned to the crowd and shouted, "Put your guns away." "Yes!" "Is that all there is to the Twilight Police Department?" a policeman asked. The Twilight Police Department watched Yamazaki's people cover the two heads with something, and it turned out that they were the bottom of the box, but the front position was not covered. "These two men did commit suicide, didn't they?" there was an indescribable anger in his tone, "you do what they say first, and I'll report these things." "Yes!"
...... "the current head of the Yamazaki family" ...... "Do what they say." "Yes!" About half an hour later, Oda cut the police officer at the chief's house. "That's it, Director. "That old guy must be dying of rage. "Twilight, there......" "Do as they say." They were really 'kind' this time, compared to what they had said before. Let Twilight put together a detailed report and leave the rest alone. "Okay. "It's not early, you go back, I'm resting too." "Huh?" "The head of the house was killed, and that old guy definitely didn't have the face to invite us, and no one would be bored with him." "That's true, then I'll take my leave. β
Indeed, as Chief Inspector Oda Kiri said. At Suzuki's house, the Suzuki couple, who had already slept, were awakened by the ringing of the phone. Shiro Suzuki answered the phone and was about to get out of bed, "Tomoko, help me prepare my clothes...... Tomoko Suzuki grabbed him, "No need to go. "Did you hear that?" "Of course, with such a loud voice, I didn't expect Mr. Yamazaki to pass away." "yes, it's a surprise. "So, Uncle Yamazaki won't let outsiders participate. "Huh?" Suzuki Shiro thought for a moment, "Do you want to inform Jijiro's brother?" "No, let him continue to play outside." If he comes back, maybe he will mess around and make Uncle Yamazaki unhappy. "Okay, I'll have to mourn Kenji Yamazaki later. Tomoko Suzuki pulled the quilt and asked Shiro Suzuki to lie down again, "Go to sleep, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days." "Oh. β
A certain old man's mansion, uh, is now owned by the Yamazaki family. The policeman stood aside, Yamazaki Mine stood next to the middle car, and his black-clad men stood in front of their respective cars, all waiting silently.
"Young master," Yamazaki said when he saw Yamazaki get out of the car, "It's all ready." Yamazaki took out a black coffin from the back of the car, which turned out to be a hearse, and walked into the house step by step. The Twilight Police Department only felt that the atmosphere became heavier and heavier with each step, until Yamazaki Misaki disappeared from sight, and it was as if a heavy stone had been removed from his heart. Several black-clothed men stepped forward and began to pour gasoline and light a fire, the fire spread rapidly from the back of the house, and after a while, the fire became bigger and bigger, slowly burning towards the door of the hall, at this time, a figure appeared in the fire, it was Yamazaki Cape. The Twilight Police Department watched Yamazaki Misaki walk out step by step through the wall of fire that had not yet been sealed, perhaps with the body contained, and felt even heavier than before. At this time, the middle three cars crossed the other vehicles and reversed, and there were three hearses. As soon as Yamazaki walked down the steps, the fire burned the whole house, and Yamazaki walked to the car in the middle, gently put the coffin in, took a few steps back and turned to stand still. Yamazaki Feng waved his hand to the ground, and the man in black lifted the two coffins from the car, and lifted the bodies that had been arranged on the ground into the two coffins respectively, and the blanket on the ground was blood-colored and covered his body, without the coffin lid, and carried into the car.
Yamazaki walked behind Misaki Yamazaki and stood still, two people with boxes in both hands stood behind, and the rest of the Yamazaki family stood in line, and then, facing the still burning house, he observed a three-second silence before saluting the police. The Twilight Police Department and the police officers returned the salute, and after seeing the Yamazaki family leave, the Twilight Police Department turned around and shouted, "Cheer me up." The story of the Yamazaki family is forbidden to be disseminated, and it is not to be written in the report. The policemen replied loudly, "Yes!" and "Okay!" "Yes!"
In the back compartment of the hearse, Yamazaki Misaki said, "Uncle Feng, my mother knows?" Yamazaki Feng replied, "Yes, young master." Miyamoto-sama and the eldest lady will come together. "Hopefully tomorrow will be a quiet day. ββ¦β¦
