Qin Hu led the people back to the hotel, just in time to see Mrs. Beidao wiping in front of the counter downstairs. Qin Hu made a look, and the mystery immediately exerted his ability to isolate this space.

Mrs. Kitajima's face changed slightly, but she didn't dare to say anything, after all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to know what the mystery had done.

Qin Hu didn't talk nonsense, he rushed over directly, and swung a heavy punch into Mrs. Beidao's face.

Mrs. Beidao was too shocked, Qin Hu's blow was not a temptation at all, it was completely a posture to kill. In desperation, Mrs. Beidao stretched out her right hand, and a stream of blue energy erupted from her palm, slamming into Qin Hu's fist.

Qin Hu's arm shook and dissolved this energy, but he didn't make a move anymore, just stared at Mrs. Beidao tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Beidao, explain." ”

Mrs. Kitajima's facial muscles twitched a few times, and finally she sighed and asked, "How are you sure it's mine?" ”

"Your emotional control is terrible, and you have shown resistance and hostility from the moment we appeared, which is not the attitude that a mother with a missing daughter should have towards someone who came to help find her."

Mrs. Kitajima shook her head: "I really didn't control it well, but this can only make you doubt me, and I can't be sure that you don't dare to act like this." ”

Qin Hu nodded: "Yes, although we all think you have a problem, no one can be sure, maybe you just don't like us." But we found an underwater passage under a nearby cliff that led to a cave, where we found traces of Kitajima Risa being bound. ”

Mrs. Kitajima was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Qin Hu said: "It doesn't seem to matter. But after I eliminated everyone by elimination, the only one who could do so was you. If it was done by the Kraken who was mixed in with the guests, he could have taken Risa Kitajima directly, and there was no need to temporarily tie her up in that cave. If it was done by a human, maybe in order to get rid of suspicion, they would want to hide the North Island Risa first, and then take it away afterwards, but ordinary people can't sneak into that cave at all. ”

Mrs. Kitajima said, "Maybe it's someone who is capable?" ”

"If you say, this man must have hidden his identity and is very familiar with the beach in this area. Someone can do these two things, but I can't think of anyone who can hide their identities and make Risa Kitajima and the unlucky guest who was framed open the door defenselessly and be attacked at night. ”

This time, Mrs. Beidao did not defend herself, and she knew that Qin Hu and the others were sure of this.

"But there is one person who can do this, and that is you, Risa Kitajima's mother, the hostess of the inn."

"However, this is just a suspicion, what really made me lock you in is the purpose of hiding Risa Kitajima in the cave. If it were someone else, there really wouldn't be any need to do it, because they were tourists, and they had a whole night to get rid of Risa Kitajima, and any excuse could explain that they weren't at the hotel at night. But only you can't, you and Kitajima are together, you can't find an excuse to leave for too long, and this cave is very close, with your ability, if you take a person, there is no problem in going back and forth in ten minutes. Unless Kitajima Nari just wakes up in these ten minutes or so, even then, you can explain it by going to the toilet. And the reason why Kitajima Nari found out that his daughter was missing was actually a deliberately created opportunity, otherwise he only needed to close the door, and Kitajima Nari, who got up at night, would not know that there were two people missing from the hotel. If Kitajima Nari wakes up when you're away, you won't let him know that your daughter happens to be missing, and if you find out at dawn, you still won't be suspicious. ”

Mrs. Kitajima smiled reluctantly: "Then why do you think I want Narita to know that Risa has been taken away?" ”

"You want to live Kitajima Risa, and that cave has poor air circulation, only a few small blowholes barely breathe, Kitajima Risa can't stay in it for long. So you have to get Kitajima to leave, so you have time to get Kitajima Risa away, I think that's why you have to talk about the Kraken, firstly, once it is related to the Kraken, the police will not intervene, and secondly, you can let Kitajima Cheng go to the priest, so you have a separate time to get Kitajima Risa. ”

"Everything is your guess, do you have proof?"

Qin Hu smiled: "We are not detectives, we don't need evidence, as long as we know that you did it, it is enough." In other words, when we are 90% sure that you did it, even if we step on the other one and kill you by mistake, we can accept it. ”

Mrs. Kitajima smiled bitterly: "Yes, I took Risa away." But I'm really Rio Kitajima, Risa's biological mother. ”

Qin Hu was surprised: "Then why did you do this?" ”

Mrs. Kitajima looked up at the ocean outside the door and said quietly, "Let me tell you a story." Once upon a time, there was a small fishing village on the seaside in eastern Hokkaido, where an ancient custom was passed down called the 'Umigod Matsuri'. Whenever there is bad weather such as a tsunami and hurricane at sea, the fishermen of the fishing village prepare their livestock to throw their livestock into a bay, and soon the sea will return to normal. In addition to the daily animal sacrifices, every 45 years, the fishing village conducts a grand 'sea god sacrifice', during which a virgin under the age of twenty is sunk into the bay and given to the 'sea god' as a wife. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Kitajima smiled contemptuously: "Actually, there is no sea god, it's just a group of krakens living in that sea area. After accepting the women sacrificed by the fishermen, they would take them to an island in the sea and become the common slaves of this group of Sirens. In fact, in the past, there were many fishing villages in the vicinity that had such a custom, and they were too remote for the shrine onmyoji to go there, so they had to take refuge in the 'sea god'. But with the pace of human exploration of the world, the island where the krakens raised slaves was discovered by a human fleet, and the krakens launched an attack on the human fleet in order to protect their property, but they did not expect that this fleet had a large number of onmyoji, led by the leader of the earth gate Shinto, this group of krakens was limited by numbers in the battle with human onmyoji, and suffered heavy losses, leaving only a few krakens to escape. ”

"That incident happened about 90 years ago. After the fleet returned to Japan, Tsuchigomon Shinto informed the major shrines, and the shrine sent them back to their hometowns based on the memories of the island's women, and told them that they no longer needed to worship the "god of the sea" in the future. But the small fishing village where the story takes place is just the time of the 'Sea God Sacrifice', and the woman they offered last time has already died, and they are located in a remote area, no one knows about it, so they still offer their virgins on time. Coincidentally, one of the krakens who escaped at that time happened to be in charge of this area, and after escaping, he was recuperating at the bottom of the sea, and the rituals of the fishermen made him know, so he took the sacrificial woman according to the custom, and temporarily found a desert island to put down. When he found a few other companions, he learned that the sacrifice had been canceled elsewhere, and they were afraid of being hit by the human onmyoji again, and they did not dare to make waves to force the fishermen to sacrifice. So, the kraken concealed the matter and took the woman to a very small desert island and hid it in a cave as his personal favorite. ”

"In the forties of the last century, due to the shortage of Japanese soldiers in the war, a large number of young men were forcibly conscripted into the army, and many young people were also recruited in the small fishing villages at that time. After the war, in order to restore the economy, more young men and women left the countryside and came to the cities to work hard, leaving only some old and middle-aged people in the fishing villages. ”

"Until the 70s of the last century, it was time for the 'Poseidon Festival', and at this time, there were only a group of old people in the fishing village who were in their last years and middle-aged people who had left over from the last 'Poseidon Festival'. Just when everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, a couple returned to the fishing village with their young children. Sadly, this father was born after the last 'sea god festival' and left the fishing village when he was a teenager, so he had no idea that such a sacrifice existed in the fishing village, and this time they came back suddenly and did not inform the old people of the fishing village. So the stubborn old people asked the father to sacrifice his seventeen-year-old daughter as a sacrifice, and when they refused, they tied up the father's family and forcibly sacrificed the daughter. ”

"The Kraken received the sacrifice again and brought it back to his secret base. The couple and their impulsive son killed in anger after they got out of trouble, and the last family was killed by the fishermen. In the end, due to the disappearance of this family, it attracted the attention of his father's friends, and the evil deeds of the fishermen in the fishing village were exposed, and all of them were imprisoned, and the fishing village was completely deserted. ”

"Dramatically, after the Kraken kidnapped his daughter as a sacrifice, he was discovered by another Kraken when he was preparing to be humiliated at his secret base, and the two sides fought, and in the end, the Kraken who received the sacrifice was killed, and the daughter became the trophy of the new Kraken. But the new kraken did not insult her, at this time she did not grow up by the sea, her physique was not adaptable, and she was suffering from a high fever, the new kraken has been taking care of her carefully, and even did not hesitate to use her own blood to help her replenish her body, and took her back to the fishing village after she recovered. At this time, the fishing village was deserted, and she found the tombstones of her grandparents, parents, and younger brother in the village, and it was erected by one of her uncles in the city, who broke down at that time, and the Kraken, who had always been kind to her, became her only support, so they were together. ”

"They lived in a small, deserted fishing village until a few years later, when a baby with human and kraken blood was born."

Qin Hu looked directly at Mrs. Beidao: "That baby is you, right?" ”

Mrs. Kitajima nodded: "Yes, that's me." I lived in a small fishing village for six years, and finally my father decided that I needed to fit in with the outside world, so my mother took me out of this remote fishing village. My father, on the other hand, couldn't leave the sea for a long time, so he didn't go with us. ”

"When I was in high school, I got to know Kitajima Akisawa and Kitajima Nari." At this, Mrs. Kitajima's expression suddenly became sad. "Actually, what I liked at that time was Kitajima Akisawa, but at that time, Kitajima Akisawa liked to study Shinto, and showed talent, and I had half of the Kraken blood in my body, I was afraid that he would find out that I was not a human after becoming a priest or an onmyoji, so I chose Kitajima Akisawa, who had the same appearance as him, as a replacement, and provoked the relationship between their brothers, causing Kitajima Akisawa to leave home, and finally went to Tokyo and became a priest of Tokyo Daijingu. After I got married, my mother left with my father without care, and I slowly fell in love with Kitajima Nari and gave birth to a daughter. ”

Qin Hu interjected and asked, "So the reason why Kitajima Qiuzawa has not been in contact with Kitajima Cheng for ten years is also because of you?" ”

"Let's just say that. Originally, I just didn't want Akisawa to contact me and find out my identity, but ten years ago, Akisawa came back once, and by that time he was already married and had two children, purely to ease relations with Cheng. But by then, he had already become a priest, and I was afraid that he would tell me who I was, so I fabricated the fact that Akisawa pretended to be trying to violate me, causing their brothers to turn against each other and never communicate again. ”

"So, why did you kidnap Risa Kitajima your daughter? Where is she now? ”

Mrs. Kitajima was silent for a moment, took out a conch from under the counter, and injected it with her own demonic power, and a deep voice came from the conch: "Fujiwara Rio, if you don't want your parents to die, come to the beach to see me at three o'clock tonight." ”

Mrs. Kitajima continued, "My mother's surname is Fujiwara, and Rio Fujiwara is my real name. This conch belongs to my father, and it has the mark left by my father. When I found it in the store, I knew something had happened to my father, so I went to the beach as promised. There, I met a kraken, he called himself Sankirou, one of the kraken, he said that his son saw Risa on the beach two years ago, fell in love with her at first sight, and wanted to marry her, but he was afraid that the identity of the demon was different, and he was afraid that Cheng and I would not agree, so he never dared to act, resulting in depression. It wasn't until a while ago that he found out about my bloodline problem, found out about my father, and in order to make his son happy, he grabbed my parents and coerced me into handing over the pear yarn. ”。

Qin Hu said: "The first question, why didn't he just go ashore to rob people?" The second question is, can't your father beat him? The third question is, why does the Kraken and his son like humans instead of female Krakens? ”

"The second question is that my father was disabled when he fought with that kraken, so he couldn't beat it. The third problem is that female Krakens have natural charm, but there have always been many differences in the ratio of males and females in Krakens, and only the most powerful male Krakens are eligible for the affection of female Krakens, so most male Krakens are singles, which is why young women were required in the previous Poseidon Offerings. And because of the kraken blood on her body, Risha is very attractive to male krakens. Finally, the first question is that the Kraken can't leave the sea for too long, and once it goes ashore, its strength will drop a lot, and it may not be able to beat me, who is only half of the Kraken's blood. ”
