Chapter 46: Mr. Sen's Memories
"Mr. Moritomaru, the main reason why we asked you here is to ask you something about the circumstances of the murder of Mr. Yamaguchi, may I ask...... Do you remember what it was like?"
Sitting in the transfer room of the Metropolitan Police Department, Mori Tokumaru, who was called Mr. Mori by Lin Xiuyi, was looking at the pair of men and women sitting opposite him with some restraint at this time. He couldn't figure out what he should do now.
Ever since he accidentally saw the news of his ex-wife and daughter in the ramen shop last night, Sentomaru's already dry mind was suddenly nourished again. After all...... He didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet them in his life.
"That...... Am I ...... What laws were violated?"
After a while, Mr. Sen, who had been silent, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question that had worried him all along:
"We're sorry, but we can't say for sure about this yet, but ...... We're just treating you as a relevant person to assist us in our investigation right now, so ...... Please don't worry too much, please ask...... Do you know Mr. Yamaguchi?"
Miki said as she gently pushed a photo of Yamaguchi-zun in front of Moritomaru. After glancing at it, he immediately raised his head in surprise, and then asked with some surprise:
"You ...... Investigating his affairs, can you say...... Do you think he was killed?"
Hearing Sentomaru's questioning, Miki and Urashima couldn't help but look at each other for a moment, and then Miki turned around and nodded to Mr. Mori with certainty.
"We are a department under the Search Section, what does the Search Lesson do, I believe you should have heard of it!"
"So...... This guy really ...... Was it really killed......? Are you sure?"
"Uh...... Mr. Sen, what do you mean by that?"
β¦β¦
Miki couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Moritakaru's emotions suddenly become excited. At this moment, a smile of joy suddenly appeared on Mr. Sen's face, and then he seemed to be stuck in some kind of dead loop, repeating repeated:
"He was killed! The police have started an investigation, and if he was killed, I know that God will punish him...... It's a lie!"
"Mr. Sen?"
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I just ...... I'm just a little unacceptable for a moment, please forgive me...... Forget my rude words!By the way, could I ask you about it,...... Regarding the cause of this Mr. Yamaguchi's death, you ......"
"Regarding this, because it involves the investigation information related to the case, we can't disclose any information to you for the time being, that ...... Can you please cooperate with us and describe how Mr. Yamaguchi was killed in the first place?"
Hearing the police person's answer to him, Sentomaru fell silent again, and at this time he was still evaluating the pros and cons of cooperating with the police. Just now, he had unexpectedly learned from the two police officers in front of him that the police were investigating the cause of Yamaguchi's death, which was fundamentally different from the information that Sentomaru had before, after all, the police only regarded Yamaguchi's death as a natural death. But I didn't expect that the police are still investigating this matter now, which means that the so-called divine punishment of the God of Light is just a murderous trick deliberately performed by someone?
"Mori...... Sir?"
"Uh...... Excuse me, I just ...... I remember just now when I was reminiscing about the situation...... It was a rainy day! I remember...... At that time, we were clearing weeds for the field. In case you didn't know, in the Valley of Light, everyone had a lot of work to do every day. So...... Everyone has a hard time every day!"
But that day, while everyone was working on the mountain in the rain, I don't know why the bell suddenly rang for some reason. Then I saw the ninety-nine deacons angrily and a few of the parishioners who were in charge of managing the Valley of Light beckoned everyone to the Dharma Hall, saying that there was an important matter that he wanted to announce in public!"
"At that time, seeing the angry and ruined face of the Ninety-Nine Lotus, my friends and I knew that something bad was going to happen. But...... Because we didn't want to anger the deacon, we didn't ask silently, and then we put down our work together and followed everyone to the Dharma Hall. β
"So...... The thing that was going to be announced at that time was related to Yamaguchi, right?"
"Yes, but because we usually live together in small groups, we don't really have the opportunity to interact with each other, so we don't usually have much interaction with other group members. So when my companions and I arrived at the Dharma Hall that day, none of us knew what was going on!"
"What did you see?"
"The situation was a bit chaotic at that time, because it was not a pre-arranged event, so it took a long time for the hall to gradually quiet down. Immediately after that, the deacon of the Ninety-Nine Lotus and the sect leader himself appeared, and the deacon announced that someone had betrayed the God of Light and the church, so they would be punished by God, and the members of the group they were in before would also be sent to the forbidden land to wait for the next disposition. Speaking of divine punishment, I have heard other people talk about it before, it is said that it can make people go crazy on the spot, and at worst, they will feel the pain of their internal organs being torn, and the most serious will be death on the spot! To be honest, I didn't believe in these things at first, until that day, I saw with my own eyes the horror of divine punishment!"
"Horror?"
"Yes, that kind of scene, I will never forget in my life, I only remember that the first person to receive the divine punishment was the one named Yusa...... , she admits that she wants to leave the Valley of Light and go back to living an ordinary life with her fiancΓ©, and ...... He also promised that he would not reveal half a word to the outside world......! Divine punishment came silently. I saw that the woman first fell to the ground in pain with her head in her arms, and then began to hit the ground with her head in pain, while the man who fled with him was trapped and watched this tragic scene. β
"You just said that Ms. Yusa suddenly hit her head on the floor in pain?"
The man watched all this in agony, but he was powerless to stop it, and finally the parishioners who were pulling him couldn't stand it, and was unwittingly freed by the gentleman. β
"And then, and then what happened?"
"Then, I witnessed the most terrifying side of the God of Light!"
