Chapter 1: The Journey
Spend the night in Futu Village and recite scriptures in the middle of the night. The head of the monk fell to the ground, and the Buddhist hall became a lonely grave.
……
Lin Xiuyi sat in the car and looked at this tourist poster of Futu Village with great interest. To be honest, Lin Xiuyi originally planned to go to Kyoto with everyone for this "training", but the two guys, Miki and Hanagata, were more interested in Ubutu Village.
"Why are you not interested in Kyoto, but prefer the newly developed hot spring resort of Ubutu Village?" Lin Xiuyi held the poster, feeling very incredible.
"Police, didn't you ever go to Kyoto and Mt. Fuji on your school trips when you were a child? This village is a haunted village in legends! But why do you wear a suit when you travel?" Miki replied excitedly.
"Well, isn't it because I overslept this morning that I didn't have time to pack my luggage!, but what do you mean by this haunting?" Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.
"I also saw it online. It is said that during the Warring States Period, samurai who had lost their territory loyally escorted the family members and gold and silver treasures of the lord through this place and stayed at the Futu Temple in the village! The monks of the temple coveted the beauty of the women and the gold and silver they carried, and then they killed these loyal samurai and seized the gold and silver of the women. From then on, these monks began to kill passing merchants, steal their money, and if they had female dependents, they would be locked up in the temple for their pleasure. Until one day, a wandering samurai with strong martial arts stayed here, broke through the evil deeds of these villains, and single-handedly exterminated these villains. ”
The warrior cut off the heads of the monks, threw them into the stream below, and set fire to the temple. But the heads of these monks seem to be dead, and each head floats on the surface of the river with its eyes open, and since then, there has been a haunted legend here?"
Miki deliberately recounts the legend of Ubutu Village in an eerie tone. But it's broad daylight, and it's not scary at all.
"Haunted? What kind of farce is it?" Lin Xiuyi should listen to the story to relieve his boredom, anyway, Aizawa doesn't like to talk and is responsible for driving the whole process, but Miki, Hanagata and Lin Xiuyi are about the same age, in fact, they have more common topics.
"It is said that the souls of these monks have always stayed in the ruins of Futu Temple, and every ten years, on the day they die, a woman dies in Futu Village!" Miki had carefully learned about this place before setting off, so she knew the legends of this place well. However, Lin Xiuyi didn't take these legends seriously. He thinks that this may just be a marketing ploy to attract tourists in Futu Village!
"Actually, I'd like to know what happened to the gold and silver treasures, if only I could find out!" said the flower-shaped gag.
"Don't say it, there is a legend of treasure in the village! It is said that a few years ago, someone found Jin Xiaoju from the Warring States period in the river, and it was also on the news, you can try your luck, maybe you can really find it?" Miki teased Hanagata.
Yamanashi Prefecture is a beautiful, densely forested inland prefecture located to the west of Tokyo. It is the most popular tourist destination near Tokyo because of its undulating mountains and abundant hot springs, and hot springs and mountaineering are the most popular tourist attractions in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the famous Mt. Fuji is also located in Yamanashi Prefecture. The car in which Lin Xiuyi and others were riding shuttled on the dense forest road, and when they opened the window and breathed in the air with the fragrance of trees, the whole person would feel relaxed.
"Police, do we want to finish lunch before continuing to hurry, Aizawa-senpai has been working hard for two hours, I have rice balls here!" the considerate Miki suddenly asked.
"Miki, don't call me the police department when you come out to play, please call me Shuichi!Aizawa, there's a vacant lot in front of you, let's rest here first!" replied Lin Xiuyi.
There is a parking space on the side of the road that does not occupy the road, and next to it is a wooden gazebo. After the car stopped smoothly in the parking space, everyone stepped out of the car. Miki took out a beautiful bento box from her luggage and began to distribute rice balls to everyone, while Lin Xiuyi poured a cup of hot tea for everyone from the thermos pot.
The four of them sat around the gazebo and spread a tablecloth on the table in the gazebo. Lin Xiuyi overslept in the morning, so he didn't have time to eat breakfast at all, he was actually hungry for a long time. As soon as Lin Xiu took the rice ball handed over by Miki, he ate it happily with warm tea. Yamanashi Prefecture is an area with more than 80% deep forest coverage, and the scenery here is so beautiful. The trees on both sides of the road are covered with pink flowers, and the smell of flowers wafts through the air. The temperature in the mountains is relatively low, the climate is relatively cool, and Lin Xiuyi doesn't feel stuffy at all in his suit.
"Police Department, you said that we were obviously out for tourism, but why do you always say that it is training?" asked Hanagata, puzzled.
"I don't know about this, I thought at first that I was going to the Yamanashi County Police Headquarters to participate in some training program, or did Shenmu seniors tell me that the meaning of the training was that the whole department went out to find a place to relax, and I realized what was going on!" replied Lin Xiuyi.
"Uh, we're not going to squander taxpayers' taxes under false pretenses, are we?" Miki asked suddenly.
"Of course not, the reason why training is provided as a reward after the case is is so that the criminal police officers who have taken a search class can not be adversely affected by the cases they handle, so strictly speaking, this is indeed training!" said Aizawa, who has been in the business for many years.
"Oh, so that's it!" Lin Xiuyi silently praised the Metropolitan Police Department's system in his heart. This is indeed a humane system. The criminal police officers who have been searching for a course are always facing the ugliest side of the world on weekdays, and it is inevitable that there will be psychological side effects after a long time, and the training system provides a good opportunity for self-regulation. This allows the police to recover from negative emotions.
"But the general training is not as good as ours, at most it is just a few days off, and this is the first time I have encountered such a trip with my colleagues!" Aizawa replied. The oldest criminal policeman in the entire 2nd series is Aizawa, and Lin Xiuyi is the one who has been in the police for the shortest time among all of them. So many things, Lin Xiuyi is actually not clear.
"Okay, have you rested? I will invite you to eat the famous Koshu beef pot here, but I only have one condition, don't call me the police department anymore, please call me Xiu Yijun!"
"Hooray!"
"Shuichi...... Jun?"
"I already regret eating too many rice balls just now!"
