Chapter 484: The Second-hand Shop

Akihabara is a calling card of Japan's two-dimensional culture.

This place, which was originally famous for selling electrical appliances, has now become a mecca for otaku from all over the world.

Nowadays, walking in Akihabara, you can see manga bookstores and anime derivatives everywhere.

THERE IS ALSO COSPLAY ALL OVER THE STREET.

Very lively.

There is a very accurate evaluation that Akihabara is a comic convention that is held 24 hours a day.

Wang Yu was in a remote alley and found the "Fujiwara second-hand shop" on the address.

The Fujiwara on the signboard is naturally the boss's surname.

And the word "second-hand" means "second-hand" in Japanese semantics.

However, second-hand stores are not ordinary second-hand stores, especially those in Akihabara.

Although the location of this second-hand shop is very remote, there are many customers in the shop.

Wang Yu walked into the store, did not directly look for the shopkeeper at the counter, but pretended to be a tourist to observe secretly.

Speaking of which, the things sold in this store are very "pre-owned", with old game consoles, old cassettes, old comics, old radios......

Walking in the meantime, the trance makes people feel like they are out of time.

This is the special feeling and charm of second-hand shops.

After waiting for a little fewer customers in the store, Wang Yu walked to the counter empty-handed.

He communicated with the guy at the counter in English: "Is your store manager here?" ”

The little brother asked rhetorically in fluent English, "Sir, do you have anything to do with our store manager?" ”

Wang Yu took out a photo and put it on the table.

This is a photo of Master Onizukooka's posthumous figure, of course, not the one Wang Yu took himself, but the picture he downloaded and printed from the Internet.

The little brother at the counter was taken aback when he saw the photo, and then looked at Wang Yu's eyes differently.

Wang Yu said piously: "I heard that your store has a treasure of this masterpiece of Master Onizukaok, I admire Master Onizuka very much, please let me end this figure no matter what, no matter how much money I spend, I am willing!" ”

The little brother said regretfully: "I'm sorry sir, this figure has been sold by our store manager more than a week ago." ”

Wang Yu pretended to be like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and then strongly asked the little brother to let him see the store manager.

His dripping acting skills were not recognized at all, and the little brother agreed to his request, picked up the phone on the table, and said something in Japanese.

"Sir, please wait a moment, our store manager will come over in a while."

"Thank you."

About a quarter of an hour later, the manager of the second-hand shop came down from the upper floor.

During the time of waiting, Wang Yu had already learned from the clerk's brother that the store manager's name was Fujiwara Heiji.

He looked to be in his forties, very tall and large, wearing a camel-colored coat, a bowler hat on his head, and a gray beard, and he had the air of an artist.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Fujiwara Heiji took the initiative to shake Wang Yu's hand, but his English accent was much worse than his clerk.

"Hello, Mr. Fujiwara."

Wang Yu learned the etiquette of the Japanese, when treating the elderly, the younger generation had to bow slightly when shaking hands, in fact, he didn't want to be polite to this old guy at all, he gave the evil figure to Jiang Yuan, and he didn't have any good intentions.

"I heard that you came here for Onizukooka's posthumous figure?"

"Yes."

"Hey, what a pity, that figure was sold out in our store last week."

"Mr. Fujiwara, can you tell me the buyer's information? I'm going to collect this figure anyway? ”

"Unfortunately, the buyer didn't leave any information, he was a man from the West, and I don't know if he was European or American."

Wang Yu was shocked at that time, this old guy actually lied to himself!

Looking at the clerk next to him, the expression on his face was also shocked, obviously he didn't expect his boss to say that.

Obviously it was sold to an Oriental woman, but it was sold to a Western man.

Wang Yu knew that this was the other party deliberately misleading himself, in order to prevent himself from finding the buyer Jiang Yuan.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that he must have ulterior motives for giving the figure to Jiang Yuan!

"Hey! I'm still a step too late! Wang Yu pretended to sigh, and then asked Fujiwara Heiji about the origin of the masterpiece figure in his shop, but Fujiwara Heiji responded perfunctorily.

In order not to startle the snake, Wang Yu said goodbye for the time being, and after he returned to Chinatown, he asked Chen Lao to help him check the details of this second-hand shop and the owner Fujiwara Heiji.

By the time I got back to Chinatown, it was already afternoon.

Liu Zihang and Xu Hao have also returned from the manufacturer's debugging arm.

Wang Yu came to Chen Lao's office.

"You're back." Chen Lao was very happy to see Wang Yu, he liked this righteous and capable young man very much.

He took out a file bag from the table and handed it to Wang Yu: "I asked my friend to help me investigate the late figure master, this is the information he sent not long ago, I have printed it out for you." ”

"Thank you!"

Wang Yu took the file bag from Chen Lao's hands with grateful hands, and after opening it, there was a black and white photo of a young man inside.

Chen Lao said: "He is the god of figures, Onizukaoka, when he died, he was only thirty-two years old, what a pity for such a genius artist!" ”

Wang Yu carefully read this information.

What is said in it is not much different from what Xu Hao told him before.

One day in November 1984, Onizukooka's neighbors called the police and said that they hadn't seen Onizuka for a week, and that a strange stench was coming from Onizuka's house.

The police broke down the door and entered the house and found Onizukooka, who had been hanged for many days, and his body was badly decomposed.

After an on-site investigation, the police ruled out the suspicion of homicide and closed the case as suicide.

In the report, the police determined that the cause of Onizukooka's suicide was caused by Onizukooka's wife leaving home and cheating.

Onizuka Oka's wife, named Momoko Onizuka, was formerly known as Matsushima Momoko.

Matsushima Momoko cheated on a down-and-out businessman back then, and this matter was well known in Onitsukaoka's circle, and it was once a joke, and it was even rumored that Onizukooka's son was actually a businessman's species.

Onizukoka was depressed for a while, so the police felt that this was the source of his suicide.

After Onizukooka's suicide, Momoko and the child, as well as her mistress, evaporated from the world and did not know what happened.

The police believe that they deliberately went into hiding after learning about Onizukooka's suicide, fearing that they would be punished by public opinion and the law.

It wasn't until many years later that Onizuka's house was re-auctioned because no one had paid the property tax for a long time, and the house was in the hands of a new owner.

Not long after the new owner moved in, he discovered the secret hidden in the mezzanine of the wall.

The dried corpses in the two walls indicate that Onizuka Oka hanged himself after killing his wife and children.

After reading these materials.

Wang Yu had three questions in his heart.

The first point is that the time of Onitsuka's suicide was in the cold winter of November, and it was seriously rotten beyond recognition in just one week, wouldn't this be a bit too abnormal?

The second point is that since Onizukooka chose to commit suicide after killing his wife and children, why did he go to the extra mile to seal the bodies of his wife and children in the wall?

Generally, murderers hide corpses in order to hide evidence of crimes, but for a person seeking death, it is obviously unnecessary.

Third, where did Matsushima Momoko's lover go?

Of course, the most important doubt in Wang Yu's heart is the heirloom of Onizuka Gang, and it is rumored that the antique ring from China that was stolen by his wife and sold to his lover to squander is the exquisite jade ring he is looking for.

This last point is too important, because it is related to whether Wang Yu is wasting time doing useless work.

If it turns out to be not the same thing in the end, then even if it takes a lot of effort to solve the mystery of the suicide of the figure god back then, it is worthless.

So Wang Yu asked, "President Chen, I once heard such a rumor that Matsushima Momoko once took away Master Onizuka's ancestral antique ring, did your friend mention this matter to you?" ”

Chen Lao nodded: "He verbally mentioned in the phone call with me that the ancestor of Onizuka used to be the noble family of Tsushima Island, and Tsushima Island was the only way to connect between the Japanese island and the Korean Peninsula in ancient times. It is said that the Onitsuka family made their fortune by foreign trade, and it is said that they once obtained a jade ring introduced from the Lingyan Pavilion in northern China, which has since been offered as the family's treasure, which is the envy of other noble families on the island. But not long after, the Onizuka family declined, and the matter of the jade ring was gradually forgotten. It wasn't until modern times that Onizukooka's father frequently publicized the deeds of his ancestors in a high-profile manner, which attracted some attention again. ”
