Chapter 7: The Hidden Man

At this time, in the city of K, China, the apartment that brought terrifying nightmares to countless residents.

"In about two months, my IQ will be back to its original state?"

In room 404, Li Yin and Midnight sat together. At this time, Kamiya Sayoko and the others carried out the blood character instructions in the book, and naturally Li Yin and Midnight got together to give advice to the five households.

After the cards that allowed them to enter the warehouse disappeared, the residents all felt an inexplicable fear. The warehouse can't disappear for no reason, which means something must have happened.

"Yes." Li Yin replied, "The effect of the Brain Marrow Spirit Spell can only last for more than two months at most. However, it can be dangerous if you receive a blood letter indication during this time. Originally, I thought that this could be compensated for with other props, but now the warehouse is inexplicably closed. When this happens, something must have happened. ”

"What do you think is possible?"

"Judging by common sense, it should be that a certain household has successfully carried out the demon king-level blood letter instructions privately, and after the demon king is sealed, the existence of the warehouse will naturally be unnecessary. And at this time, Liancheng disappeared......"

"Li Yin," Midnight immediately understood what Li Yin meant, "Are you saying that Hua Liancheng has successfully executed the Demon King-level Blood Character Instructions?" The odds of this kind of thing are almost negligible. The Demon King-level blood letter indication is extremely terrifying, and it is absolutely impossible for him to spend it alone. ”

"It's hard to say. After all, there is no other plausible explanation. What's more, Liancheng's disappearance is a fact. If this is true, then we will not be able to enforce the Demon King-level blood word. Hell Pact Fragments may also lose their effect. ”

Li Yin and Midnight both fell silent.

"Midnight." Li Yin suddenly said: "Actually, there is a possible surname for the disappearance of the warehouse. That is, the warehouse itself is not meant to get us through the blood letters, but on the contrary, it exists to achieve some purpose that will put us in a terrible situation. Such possible surnames also exist. ”

Such a possible surname...... It is said that this Kumamoto Prefecture, the Great Twilight Black Ridge.

In Kamihara's house, Yachen was standing in front of Miyo's spiritual seat at this time. Sayoko Kamiya's visit completely evoked his memories.

In this small room, Masachen sat alone, facing Miyo's portrait.

Harumi was watching her brother from outside the door at this time, and he had always been like this since Kamiya Sayoko left. Her heart was also struggling, and Iko's words still echoed in her mind.

Do you want to tell your brother that Iko saw my sister-in-law?

Is it possible that the sister-in-law is really still alive?

"You're out there, aren't you? Harumi? Yachen suddenly said, "Come in." ”

Harumi bit her lip, and she walked in and sat cross-legged next to Yachen. She didn't know what to say for a while, after all, the words of comfort had been said in the past four years.

"I suddenly feel nostalgic."

Yachen suddenly said such a sentence.

"When Sayoko Kamiya appeared, it reminded me of Miyo several times. Her room is almost plastered with pictures of Sayoko Kamiya, so that when I see her, I think of Miyo, who was still alive at the time. ”

"I remember ...... too" Harumi smiled bitterly, "She has collected all the information about all the cases that Miss Kamiya has solved, and I hear that the calluses are about to come out." In particular, the 'Kuromaka Murder Incident', which was a serial murder case that took place in Kyoto, had a black circle drawn around the deceased. Miss Kamiya seems to have almost been killed by a prisoner because of that case. Sounds thrilling. But it's also possible that the sister-in-law added oil and vinegar, as if she had experienced it herself. ”

Yasin turned his head to Harumi, his eyes now welling up with tears.

Matsuda Hotel, at this moment, Matsuda Kimiko is keeping accounts at the counter. She heard the door of the hotel open, and when she looked up, she saw Sayoko Kamiya walking in.

"Miss Kamiya, are you back?"

Sayoko Kamiya walked over slowly, walked to the counter, and said straight to the point: "Mrs. Matsuda, as far as I know, you have a very good relationship with Mrs. Kayo of the Hasegawa family at the beginning?" ”

Matsuda was stunned, she didn't understand why Sayoko Kamiya suddenly asked like that.

"You and Mrs. Jiashi have a good relationship?"

"It was forty years ago." Mr. Matsuda recalled that long memory, and said, "I have forgotten many things, but I do have a good relationship with Mrs. Kashi. But, Miss Kamiya, why are you asking this? ”

"I'm investigating a case." Sayoko Kamiya took another step closer to the counter and continued, "So I wanted to ask specifically. ”

"But I still have to do business......"

A check was taken out of Sayoko Kamiya, placed on the counter, and said, "This is a check for one million yuan." Just tell me everything you know, and the check will be yours. If you provide a clue that can help me a lot, more money will not be a problem. I have received a lot of commissions from rich people before, and I am not short of money. ”

In the Kuroen murder that shocked Kyoto that year, one of the dead was the only son of a super-rich man, and Sayoko Kamiya received a huge reward of hundreds of millions after solving that case.

Matsuda's eyes were fixed on the check, carefully looking at the six zeros in the back.

Million?

Just ask, give a million?

That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

"What? Isn't it enough? Kamiya Xiaoyezi didn't even frown, and said, "I still have a blank check that I haven't filled out, as long as you give a number, within my tolerance, I will give it to you." ”

"No, it's not ......" Matsuda Kimiko immediately picked up the check, put it in his pocket as if he was afraid that Kamiya Sayoko would regret it, and said, "Okay, I'll come here, Kamiya-sama, you can ask anything you want!" ”

As the saying goes, the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft. The check for one million was smashed, and Matsuda was embarrassed not to open his mouth anyway. Even if it was forty years ago, I will do my best to remember.

came to Kamiya Sayoko's room, and at this time there were two people in the room, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin. Pei Qingyi and Sima Zhen continued to collect clues elsewhere in the village.

Entering the hotel room, Matsuda Kimiko had just sat down, and Sayoko Kamiya asked straight to the point, "I won't go around in circles." What I want to know is something that has something to do with everyone in the Hasegawa family. Including the strange story that became popular later, you can tell me Mrs. Matsuda. Pay special attention to one thing, no matter how ridiculous it is, even if you think it is a false rumor and is not credible at all, don't leave it out, tell me everything, and I will judge whether it is credible or not. If what you say has helped my investigation, I will not hesitate to pay for it. ”

"Understood, understood!" With a smile on her face, Kimito Matsuda has been struggling to support this hot spring inn since her husband's death. Now, with the appearance of such a God of Wealth, she naturally can't let it go easily.

"First of all, Miss Kamiya, the lady Yoshiyo Hasegawa you asked about......" Matsuda said categorically, "I can guarantee that she is indeed in love with her uncle!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it made Kamiya Sayoko show a look of surprise. And Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin couldn't understand the language, so they didn't react. However, looking at Kamiya Sayoko's face, he also felt that something very important was something, and Sui Wenbin hurriedly asked, "What did she just say?" I only understand the word 'guarantee'. ”

"I'll translate it all to you later, so don't interrupt me now." Miss Kamiya didn't answer him directly, but continued to ask, "Are you sure?" Could it be that Mrs. Jiashi would tell you such a thing? ”

"Of course not. It's just that once, I saw Mrs. Kashi, and her uncle, Mr. Keiyuki Hasegawa, kissing in the woods. I could see that scene clearly. By the way, at that time, Ah Kui, the maid next to Mrs. Jiashi, was still looking around, as if she was taking advantage of the two of them. I was hiding in a pile of bushes, so I wasn't noticed. I was just walking around in the woods when I saw it. ”

"I see." Sayoko Kamiya wrote a paragraph in her notebook, between the names "Jiashi" and "Jingzhi": "I am sure that there is a love affair". At the same time, a horizontal line was drawn on the name of "Ah Kui", which read: "Insider." ”

"According to what you said," Sayoko Kamiya raised her head again after finishing writing and said, "First of all, Mrs. Hasegawa Yoshiyo and her brother-in-law, Hasegawa Keiyuki, do have a love affair. And her personal maid Ah Kui also helped the two of them to control the wind when they knew about it? Are you sure you saw those two people at the time, and you were not mistaken? ”

"Well, I can see it very clearly, although forty years have passed, but that scene is too shocking, I didn't expect Mrs. Jiashi, who has such a good relationship with me, to do such a thing, so I am particularly impressed. And judging from the situation at that time, Mrs. Jiashi seemed to be more active. ”

"So, you didn't tell anyone about it?" Sayoko Kamiya's tone changed suddenly: "With all due respect, Mr. Hasegawa Takuzo knows about his wife's infidelity, could it be because of you?" ”

"Why, how could it be ......" Matsuda Kimiko immediately waved his hand and said, "I haven't mentioned this kind of thing to anyone!" I was really scared, and I ran away. Every time Mrs. Kashi came to see me, she would teach me some flower arrangement and tea ceremony, and I thought she was a very virtuous woman, but I was very surprised to see her like that one day......

"You mean, you don't think Mrs. Jiashi is a woman who can fight with men?"

"How so...... Mrs. Jiashi was very beautiful, so it was not without some rumors at the time. But I didn't believe it, Mrs. Jiashi gave me a very gentle feeling, I still remember the first time I saw her, she was wearing a white kimono, holding a paper umbrella, when she walked into the village, many people saw that their eyes were about to fall out, after all, Madame she is so beautiful. ”

This is the same as the old woman's statement.

However, the message of the white kimono was mentioned again, and although Kamiya Sayoko didn't react much, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin, who heard the word "white", became nervous.

"White kimono...... Is it? ”

Sayoko Kamiya suddenly tore off a piece of paper from her notebook and said, "Can you draw the pattern of that kimono for me?" ”

"This ...... After all, it's been forty years, and it's very difficult to draw it......"

"That's right."

Sayoko Kamiya took back the torn paper and asked, "Your initial impression of Mrs. Kayo was that she was beautiful and gentle, but after seeing her, what was your reaction when you met later?" ”

"Actually...... That was the last time I saw Mrs. Jiashi. A week after that, the bloodshed occurred. Mr. Takuzo killed everyone in the family with a knife, leaving a bloody suicide note, and then committed suicide. So when I learned about the bloodshed, I wasn't too surprised. Of course, because the police later determined that the case was a martyrdom case, they did not investigate further, otherwise I would have been summoned by the police, and I might have told what I saw at the time. ”

"A week?"

Kamiya Sayoko put down her pen, she carefully looked at the notes on the note, and asked, "In other words, a week after you found out that Mrs. Kashiyo was in love, Mr. Takuzo killed six people in the family and committed suicide." You, really, didn't tell anyone? Time, it's too much of a coincidence. Moreover, Mr. Takuzo killed his sister and servants because he thought they were hiding it. According to you, Ah Kui is aware of this. It is also possible that Mr. Takuzo found out about this matter and interrogated everyone in the family before coming to this conclusion. ”

"Impossible, I definitely didn't say it!"

"After 40 years, the memory is inevitably blurred. Are you really 100% sure you haven't spoken to anyone? ”

"This ...... No, I don't. Not really, and I haven't told anyone since. ”

"Well, let's just assume you didn't really mention it to anyone. So, how much do you know about that weird legend? The people in the village said that those who were close to it would encounter divine concealment. So, is the claim of the hidden gods true? ”

"Well, there were. Moreover, there are many more. So rumors of the hidden gods continued to appear later. ”

Other villagers said the same. And as far as I know, the first person who is hidden in the gods, basically everyone has the same statement. That person's name is Sakurako Kobayashi. You know the name, right? ”

"Well, yes. Sakurako Kobayashi, almost everyone in the older generation knows this name. She was...... The first hidden person in Yeshen Village. It seems to have happened two or three years after that bloodbath. ”

At the same time, Pei Qingyi came to the door of a house. Outside the gate of this house, there is a name plate of "Iijima".

"This is it." Pei Qingyi took the note with the address written on it in his hand and said, "This place is the home of Sakura Kobayashi's sister." Her sister's name before marriage was Izumi Kobayashi, and her current name is Izumi Iijima. ”

Pei Qingyi raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was immediately opened.

"Kazuya, you're finally back, keep me waiting...... Well, who are you? ”

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, and she looked at Pei Qingyi and Sima Zhen in front of her suspiciously.

"Excuse me......" Pei Qingyi bowed and signaled, "Are you Miss Izumi Iijima?" ”
