Director Takahashi paused.

Not long ago, the transcendent response department held a meeting after the Kukai mage, and the 'Dead King' was mentioned, and then at the meeting, there was an investigation into the person who was suspected to be related to the 'Dead King'.

The 'Dead King' is mysterious and powerful, and in all likelihood, he has a very high status, and for fear of annoying the 'Dead King', he adopts a soft policy towards Taka Zun's investigation, and Takeshi Morita and Yoshimura Yoshimura are in charge of the investigation.

For a week, they kept a week-long surveillance, hoping to see if there were any connections with the deceased king, and to prove that he was related to the deceased king.

At the same time, they also conducted a family investigation of Kamikawa Zun.

There is no other reason, the 'Dead King' has a very high status, is very powerful, and it is very likely that he is an ancient figure, and Kamikawa Zunneng has a relationship with him, and it is possible that the background is not ordinary.

Director Takahashi knew that after a week's surveillance, there was no sign that Kamikawa had anything to do with the 'Dead King'.

It can almost be judged that Kamikawa Zun has no contact with the deceased king.

It's just that Takeshi Morita is now deliberately coming by helicopter to report, and there is obviously an unexpected discovery.

"What are the results of Kamikawa Zun's family investigation?"

Director Takahashi was curious, and he was very curious about the senior management of the extraordinary response department of Kamikawa Zun's family, and thought about the celebrities with the surname Kamikawa, and even asked Professor Kitayama of history to ask him if there were any famous people with the surname Kamikawa in history.

Then they found that the surname Shangchuan did not have any famous figures in history.

Even Professor Kitayama doesn't know any celebrities, what family will Takeshi Morita investigate?

"We found out that Kamikawa's family is not native to Tokyo, and according to the investigation on the family register, his family came to Tokyo in his great-grandfather's generation, and he came from the intersection of Shikoku in Honshu, Japan.

Since my great-grandfather's generation was more than 100 years old, it was difficult to find out where they were in Honshu and Shikoku.

We spent several days asking the local registry to help, and even the police station was used, but nothing came of it.

Originally, we were going to give up, but in the end, under the reminder of a person from the Household Registration Administration, we finally found the location of Shangchuan Zun's ancestral home. ”

Morita Takeshi handed over a place where Kamikawa was from his ancestral home and his great-grandfather's generation to Director Takahashi.

Take the information.

Director Takahashi was surprised.

Finding a person's ancestral home is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is up to Takeshi Morita to do it.

You must know that the search for the ancestral home of the family is first of all a matter of time, because of the long history, a lot of information has long followed the history and cannot be traced.

In addition, the junction of Honshu and Shikoku makes it seem that the search area is small at first glance.

But no matter how small it is, it is a very large area, with a large population, and with the development of the times, the transportation is more and more convenient, so the population flow is very large, not what people will stay in one place for a lifetime, so the people who live in the handover place now, not all of them are in their ancestral hometowns, some may be immigrants, and some are moving out.

Therefore, it is impossible to find people of my great-grandfather's generation who lived at the junction of Shikoku and Honshu at the junction, and it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

To put it bluntly, this is not a TV series, a novel, and if you look for your information, you will be able to find it without any effort, think too much, why should you play here? Reality is very rare.

"Can you find it all?" Director Takahashi was surprised, he didn't have hope, but he didn't expect to be able to find it: "What did the household registration manager remind?" ”

According to Takeshi Morita, the household registration manager reminded him to play a key role.

While asking, Director Takahashi opened the information and looked at it.

"Seto Inland Sea? Is this where the ancestral home of Kamikawa Zun's family is? ”

The Seto Inland Sea, meaning a narrow strait, is located between Honshu and Shikoku in Japan.

"This is the place where the generation of Kamikawa's great-grandfather lived, and it is said that the father of Kamikawa's great-grandfather also lived here, so it may not be in the Seto Inland Sea, so it would be difficult to trace it back.

However, we have already researched the identity of the Shangchuan Zun family, and we have found something, and there is no need to trace it. ”

In his words, he could see that Takeshi Morita looked excited.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Morita Wuding has made a major discovery, otherwise he would not be so excited.

Immediately after, Takeshi Morita said.

"The area between Honshu and Shikoku is very large, and the population is also large, and if we want to check the household registration one by one, we can't check it in ten days and eight months, so we have to narrow the scope, and Mr. Murata helped us with this, oh, Mr. Murata is the old employee of the Family Registration Bureau.

He was born in the Seto Inland Sea and has been in the Seto Inland Sea since he was a child, so he is familiar with it.

Mr. Murata reminded us that we don't need to look for the entire junction, but only in the upper reaches of the junction near rivers and waterways. ”

The crowd didn't know why.

How did Mr. Murata narrow down the area, and why did he only look for areas upstream of rivers and waterways?

Only Professor Kitayama, who studied history, realized something, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be?" ”

At this time, Takeshi Morita spoke bluntly.

"At first, I was also curious about why Mr. Murata asked us to go to those places, but then Mr. Murata told me that it was because of the Kamikawa surname.

He told us that in fact, in Japan, a family name was a symbol of glory a long time ago, and only the imperial family could give a surname to a person, and anyone who was given a surname was a prestige.

Therefore, not everyone has a surname, only nobles and powerful people have surnames, and ordinary people only have names.

Later, in the Meiji era, Emperor Meiji promulgated the "Civilian Seedling Permission Ordinance" to allow all Japanese people, including civilians who were previously forbidden to have family names, to have surnames in order to meet the needs of military conscription, taxation, and the creation of family registers.

It was only then that all Japanese people had family names.

However, at that time, most ordinary people had no cultural connotation, and the environment at that time made them more concerned about life, food, and making money for their surnames, so they were generally very casual when they took surnames.

What's the ......

Words such as river, field, mountain, and wild often appear in Japanese surnames, not because people yearn for nature, but because the civilians who were not highly educated at that time could only use names they were familiar with, from the sun, moon and stars, to flowers, birds, fish and insects; It can be used as a surname, from occupation and residence to natural phenomena.

For example, if the family in the countryside is farming, the surname Murano is taken, the surname Watanabe is taken if you live near the ferry, and the surname Matsushima is taken if you live in Matsushima. ”

When Takeshi Morita said this, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that Mr. Murata judged that Takeshi Morita and the others should look for the upper reaches of the river, based on the surname of Uekawa Zun.

Chuan: The original meaning of Sichuan is a river, a waterway, and wherever there is a river, there will be flat land, so "Chuan" also refers to a flat and low-lying area in the mountains or plateau, that is, Pingchuan.

The urine nature of the surname taken by the ancients, Shangchuan, is basically certain that his family lives in a river, a waterway, or a flat river, and it is the upper half of the river.

In view of the fact that there are many straits in the Seto Inland Sea, it can be concluded that Kamikawa does not refer to the plains, but to the upper reaches of rivers and waterways.

At this time, Takeshi Morita said.

"We narrowed down the scope from this, and after many searches and inquiries, we found several families in the Seto Inland Sea with the surname Kamikawa, and one of them, someone named Shingo Kamikawa, had the same name, surname and place as Tsuneshi Kamikawa's grandfather, so we can conclude that the two are the same person.

In addition, when we visited the Seto Inland Sea where our great-grandfather's generation lived, we learned that there were ancient great people who lived there. ”

Without waiting for Takeshi Morita to speak, Professor Kitayama was the first to speak.

"Ashiya Michiman!"
