"Well, do you have any good suggestions?"

Miki and Kanako, who had finished the game, came over to rest, and when they saw Lin Xiuyi staring at the material with a frown, and the drinks on the table hadn't even moved, they asked curiously.

"It is mentioned in the materials that the first informant is a villager from this village, Yamamoto Kengo, is this person still in Futu Village? If possible, I would like to talk to him personally!" Lin Xiuyi closed the material, and then returned the material to Kanako, who was now completely whetted by this secret room murder case.

"Kengo Yamamoto, this is easy to do, he is now the head of Futu Village, I think we can make an appointment with him!" Kanako said lightly.

That evening, everyone once again learned about the exquisite cooking skills of Umegakiya. Even the well-informed Superintendent Mizukawa praised Umagakiya's craftsmanship for being as good as Kyoto's kaiseki cuisine. On top of that, Umegakiya's set meals are not only delicious, but also inexpensive.

After dinner, Kanako and Kengo Yamamoto, who was already the head of Futu Village, made an appointment to visit the next day. After the other party learned that Kanako and Superintendent Mizukawa worked at Fuji TV, they readily agreed.

……

After breakfast the next day, everyone still went their separate ways, with Shuichi Hayashi and Miki following Kanako and Superintendent Mizukawa to the house of village chief Kengo Yamamoto, while Aizawa and Hanagata still went on a tour of the mountains and rivers together.

"Mr. Yamamoto, it's rude to take the liberty of visiting!" Kanako and the others said as they bowed to the village chief Yamamoto who was standing at the door to greet everyone, and then Kanako and Superintendent Mizukawa presented their business cards. And Lin Xiuyi pretended to be Shuichuan's subordinate, so he did not reveal his identity as a policeman.

Kengo Yamamoto let everyone into his own garden and proudly served his own grapes.

"This is the result of my many years of hard work, the red ones are seedless Kyoho grapes, and the green ones are Sunshine Rose grapes! These are all specialties of our Yamanashi Prefecture, please try them!" Yamamoto Kengo greeted warmly.

These fruits looked quite extraordinary, Lin Xiu couldn't resist the temptation of these fruits, picked up a Sunshine Rose grape and put it in his mouth, and the sweet taste suddenly flowed between his lips and teeth when he took a bite. The grapes were freshly cut from the vine and were still fresh at the breaks. The hardest part is that each one of the whole bunche of grapes is so perfect, without a single blemish. Hayashi knew that when the grapes were ripe, they would be placed in gift boxes and sent to fresh markets in Tokyo. In the 80s, RB launched a "One Village, One Brand" movement. Especially in the barren mountainous area like Yamanashi Prefecture, it is not suitable for growing food crops, so the forest and fruit economy is being developed. As a result, Yamanashi Prefecture has become a famous grape producing area in RB.

After greeting each other, the conversation gradually got to the point. After Superintendent Mizukawa explained to Yamamoto Kengo what everyone was coming to, Yamamoto was silent for a while, and then finally agreed to tell everyone about the day.

The reason why Lin Xiuyi wanted to listen to Kengo Yamamoto personally introduce the experience on the day of the crime was not because he wanted to find any valuable new clues from it. After all, ten years have passed since this incident, and many details are not necessarily remembered even by the parties involved. The transcript of the interrogation, which remained in the hands of the police, was more detailed and specific than Yamamoto's memory.

What Lin Xiuyi wanted was actually the memory imprint left by Yamamoto on the crime scene. And this is also the most profound thing that this case left to Yamamoto ten years ago.

"In fact, when I saw the mountain gate wide open, I had an ominous premonition, because the animals in the mountain would not open the door. I quickly pushed the door open and went in to check the situation in the temple. When I stood in front of the Buddha Hall, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life. ”

"I saw the maid of the Uragakiya lying in a pool of blood, Ayu was wearing a white Japanese-style dress, but the blood had stained most of the clothes red. A knife was stuck in her chest. I was so frightened that I turned around to run, but then I thought, what if someone can still be saved, so I turned around and entered the Buddha hall with courage, stretched out my hand to probe Ayu's snort, I didn't feel anything at the time, I only felt that my forehead was like a cold wind blowing on my back, swishing cold, and the Buddha statue in the store was staring at me like a devil at that moment, and I was afraid to death. So after confirming that Ayu was indeed dead, I ran down the mountain as fast as I could......"

In the end, Yamamoto Kengo seemed to be frightened by the scene again, and he seemed a little distracted. It took him a while to regain his former look.

"How did you know that the deceased was Ayu?" Lin Xiuyi suddenly broke his silence and took the initiative to ask.

"I didn't know it at first, but it was only when I was snorting that I recognized the deceased as Ayu's. At that time, I used to go to Umagakiya to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables, and I knew the ladies and waitresses of Umagakiya very well......" Kengo Yamamoto hesitated for a moment, and then replied.

That means you can't see the face of the deceased when you stand outside the temple. Then what kind of posture did the deceased fall to the ground in when you saw it?" Lin Xiuyi continued to ask.

"Ayu fell to the ground on her side, probably on the left side of the middle of the temple, facing to the right, like this!" said Yamamoto Kengo, mimicking it. The position looks like you're lying on your side, facing right with your head resting on your left arm.

Lin Xiu nodded clearly, the posture described by Kengo Yamamoto was not exactly the same as what was left on the police photo. However, it is not excluded that Yamamoto touched the corpse in a hurry and changed the posture of the deceased when he died.

Next, Lin Xiuyi asked a few more questions of interest, and Yamamoto Kengo answered them without reservation.

"Last question, Mr. Yamamoto, as far as I know, according to local legends, the reputation of the Futu Temple does not seem to be very good, why do you still spend so much effort to rebuild the Futu Temple?" Lin Xiuyi asked very curiously.

In the years after the war, there was a famine in the village, and many people were too happy to live. It's a shame to say that we are all mountainous here, and we have been poor since ancient times. Because there was not enough food to eat, we had to collect some mountain goods from the mountains and send them to the black market in the city to exchange for food. At the most difficult time in the village, several villagers went up to the mountain to pick mushrooms to satisfy their hunger, but unexpectedly found ten golden judgments in the wreckage of Futu Temple. It was with this windfall that the whole village was able to get through that difficult time...... In any case, the villagers have always felt that this is the meaning of the Buddha, and maybe the temple has a bad reputation in the eyes of outsiders, but it has always sheltered our village," Yamamoto replied earnestly.
