Chapter 76: Investigation!
……
"Damn, have you read today's headlines, the truth about the urinal case has been found by a hero named Lizard Man."
Early in the morning, Lin Maiyu blocked Wu Xuanze, who was jogging in the morning.
"Just yesterday, the cause of Takuyuki Kanno's death broke out in a live broadcast room in Huaguo, and this video instantly caused a sensation all over the world, and it was widely reported in Yamato this morning...... Some media also said that it was a prank done by some special effects teams, which made the truth even more confusing. ”
Lin Maiyu looked very excited, he also heard it on the radio when he got out of the car in the morning, he was so excited that he immediately bought a newspaper at the roadside newsstand, and immediately ran to the hotel to find Wu Xuanze after reading it.
Wu Xuanze contacted him yesterday and needed him to be a tour guide, so he told Wu Xuanze the news as soon as possible.
"Hey, give me some expressions, aren't you excited about such a big thing?" Lin Maiyu followed Wu Xuanze and trotted all the way, the feeling was that he was happy to be alone there, and Wu Xuanze was not interested at all.
"The Lizardman you see is me." Wu Xuanze stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and said.
Lin Maiyu paused for a moment, "poof", and laughed heartily.
"You...... Are you Lizardman? Hahaha, bald lizard man? Lin Maiyu laughed.
Wu Xuanze understands why those superheroes are unwilling to admit themselves in front of people, not that they don't want to admit it, but that no one believes what they say, unless they show superpowers in front of them.
Wu Xuanze just said so casually, he didn't expect the fish seller to believe him, besides, there are a lot of people running in the morning in broad daylight, if he shows the strength of the lizard man, it will inevitably cause a certain amount of panic, and at that time, I am afraid that he will not want to return to China.
"Take me to Tamura and help me translate." Wu Xuanze explained the purpose of looking for him.
"You don't want to go to Tamura to investigate, do you?" Lin Maiyu was quite smart, and suddenly thought of what Wu Xuanze was going to do.
"Isn't the case unsolved, I think those old people in Tamura may know some clues." Wu Xuanze said.
"Do you suspect that someone is playing tricks and using 'Shikigami' to kill people to cover up the truth?" Lin Maiyu asked.
Wu Xuanze nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
"What are you doing investigating this...... Didn't you say you're not interested...... Or is your identity a search group from Huaguo...... Hey, don't go so fast, wait for me. ”
……
……
Kodota Village.
The village is in the "scenic spot" park, is a village with 100 households, the village still maintains the style of decades ago, because of the beautiful environment has not been demolished and rebuilt, coupled with some local old people stubborn feudal thinking, unwilling to move out, this village has been preserved to this day.
"There was indeed a fat man who ran against the head of Fujita back then, but the fat man died of lung cancer three years ago, and the fat man was said to be in the fishing business, and he made some money back then, but his character was not good, and the people in the village did not like him, and in the election of the village chief, the head of Fujita won almost without any pressure."
"As for the head of Fujita Village, he also retired five years ago, and now he has retired to the countryside, so the clue that you said about the fat man looking for someone to commit murder is probably no fun."
After Lin Maiyu looked around the village, he came back and told Wu Xuanze the news he had gotten.
In fact, it was not only Wu Xuanze who was investigating, after the news came out that day, many media reporters and detectives entered the village early in the morning to investigate and report on the case from 30 years ago.
Lin Maiyu found a lot of information with almost no effort.
"Are there priestesses, sorcerers, prophets, onmyojis and the like in this village?" Wu Xuanze asked.
"I don't know." Lin Maiyu spread his hands and said.
Wu Xuanze also counted on this translation to provide any useful clues.
The village is not big, Wu Xuanze and Lin Maiyu walked around, and suddenly Wu Xuanze stopped and looked halfway up the mountain.
"That's Shengjue Temple, a famous temple in the past, but after the nuclear power plant accident, it was abandoned, and the local government originally wanted to demolish it, but because the old people in the village thought it was blasphemy, they used protest to keep the temple. To this day, this temple is also an ornament, and the people of the village will offer incense. Lin Maiyu said.
Wu Xuanze walked up the stairs full of barren grass, this kind of temple is not uncommon in China, and even in the New Year's festival pilgrims are endless, and the monks are fat and big-eared, but this temple is unusually quiet, as if isolating the hustle and bustle of the village.
Climb the stairs to the entrance of the temple, there are two strange stone statues in front of the temple, like humans and beasts, the body shape is similar to the lion guarding the door, and there is a hairy feeling when you look closely.
Entering the temple is a deserted courtyard with a small open space overgrown with grass.
The temple is not particularly large, a temple is flanked by wings and thatched houses, the style is very similar to the scene in the cartoon "Brother Yixiu" when Wu Xuanze was a child, the temple hall is dark and dim, but it is not difficult to see that there are some hideous sculptures enshrined in the main hall, which inexplicably makes Wu Xuanze have a gloomy feeling.
"You ...... What is it for, the temple is closed to the outside world, you can't come here, haven't you seen the notice under the mountain, how can there be such unruly pilgrims! An old monk in his sixties came over and counted down.
The other party spoke in Yamato, Wu Xuanze didn't understand, but looking at the other party's hand and foot gesture and excited look, most of them were warmly welcoming his arrival, probably thinking that it was a wealthy boss who came to donate incense money.
"Can't you understand people?" The old monk was extremely unceremonious and spoke fiercely.
Wu Xuanze thought that he was going to take out the incense money when he entered the door, and immediately took out a stack of exchange money from his pocket: "We came empty-handed, we didn't bring incense, these money are not respectful, by the way, there are some things I want to ask the master you." ”
"Nonsense, are you blaspheming, go, let me go, you are not welcome here." The old monk was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the broom on the side to drive people away.
The corners of Lin Maiyu's eyes twitched on the side, and he desperately didn't want to know the sand sculpture next to him.
He hurriedly pulled Wu Xuanze aside: "Put the money away, today is the Yamato National Mourning Day, and the temples across the country are closed to pilgrims...... Don't mess around. ”
Only then did Wu Xuanze understand that he had misunderstood the meaning of the old monk, and he thought that the monks of Yamato were as mercenary as the monks in China.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was National Mourning Day." Wu Xuanze apologized repeatedly.
On the day of the Yamato National Funeral Day, public institutions across the country are on holiday, and temples will also choose to close their doors on this day and not open to the public.
"It's Chinese again, are you sure you're not here to spoil our culture, you will find the gods to punish you for these actions." The old monk said righteously.
"Old monk, even if we don't come here, your local government will not be less troublesome with your temple, this ruined temple will be demolished sooner or later!" Lin Maiyu became angry when he heard it, and directly replied in Yamato Chinese.
What is to blame on the Chinese people? He admitted that there are some Chinese people with poor moral quality who have been disgraced abroad, but why should there be such people in any country, so why should they open their mouths and shut up to China.
"To step into the Holy Land without permission is to slander, insult, and blaspheme the gods, and you stupid Chinese people will be punished by the gods. When something really bad happens, we will have to put the blame on our temple, saying that our temple is cursed, saying that we are cursed evil monks, just like the person back then, who didn't listen to my advice and had to blaspheme the sculpture!! The old monk snorted angrily.
Although Wu Xuanze didn't understand, he also knew that this old monk didn't have any good bird words coming out of his mouth.
Lin Maiyu found that this monk was simply unreasonable, rather stubborn, and simply unable to communicate.
"Let's go, don't come to this place." Lin Maiyu pulled Wu Xuanze and was about to leave.
"What did you just say, to make people angry like that?" Wu Xuanze staggered and glanced back at the old monk who was about to explode.
"Just a monk who is talking to a god, there was a person who did not listen to his advice and was cursed. Isn't he cursing us when he's meowing? Lin Maiyu felt angry, and he would be crazy if he stayed here for more than a second.
