Chapter 2: Masatomi Kamihara
Da Dusk Black Ridge, the location indicated by the blood word this time, although an investigation was carried out in advance, there were few clues, and the specific situation could not be found.
Yeshen Village is located in the hinterland of the Great Dusk Black Ridge Mountain, and it is also the only place on this mountain that is inhabited.
"This village has been around since the early Showa period." As he walked, the old man Hirata said, "So, there are also a lot of very old buildings, so if you are interested, you can take a look." Well, in front of you is Matsuda Onsen Inn. ”
Kamiya Sayoko saw the door of the inn in front of her at a glance, the inn was a large three-story house, which did not occupy a very large area, but the residents did not have the idea of enjoying it at all, and they were satisfied to have a place to live.
Opening the sliding door of the inn, in front of the counter, a middle-aged woman wearing a purple kimono and heavy makeup immediately bowed and said with a smile, "Welcome." ”
It seems that tourists often come here, and the woman did not have the slightest doubt about the unfamiliar faces of Sayoko Kamiya and others. In fact, Yeshen Village is indeed introduced in the nearby tourist brochures, but it is not a particularly famous tourist destination.
"Gentleman." Old man Hirata smiled and said, "How many tourists here are from China, huh?" What about Goro? Isn't he there? ”
The middle-aged woman named Gentleman smiled and said, "Wulang? I don't know, I didn't see him in the afternoon. You just said that these guests are from China? ”
Sayoko Kamiya walked up to the counter and said in a Chinese language, "Hello, boss...... My surname is Kamiya. ”
"Huh? Are you yourself? ”
"Yes, but they're all from China."
The gentleman looked at Pei Qingyi and the others with some curiosity, nodded, flipped through the record book on the table, and asked, "So, how many rooms do you want?" ”
After choosing the room, the hostess was also very enthusiastic to take them to the room on the first floor. Because considering the convenience when escaping, the ground floor is the most convenient.
When the door was opened, there was a small room covered with tatami mats, with a rectangular coffee table in the middle and a cushion for sitting on all sides. The outside is directly connected to the courtyard, which has a large goldfish pond. When the breeze blew, several wind chimes hanging on the door kept ringing.
Frankly, the air here is really good, much better than in the big cities.
"How's this room going?" The proprietress smiled and said, "Because there are many empty rooms in the hotel now, if you are not satisfied, you can change them." ”
"No, you don't." Sayoko Kamiya nodded with great satisfaction, and the funds for the accommodation were all paid by her.
After moving her luggage into the room, Kamiya Sayoko walked out into the courtyard and took a deep breath, her eyes gradually dimming as she looked up at the sun, which was already thin.
Li Yong's contact with her has been completely severed. Because what Li Yong was going to do next was not to let her as a detective intervene, so after remitting a sum of money to her account, he sent her an email, explaining that her work was over, and he would not admit that he had any contact with her on any occasion in the future, and also said that he had found out the truth about Ying Qingli's death and did not need her to continue to investigate.
Kamiya Sayoko walked to the goldfish pond, and when she lowered her head and looked down at the pool, she saw Pei Qingyi's reflection.
"Is it time to be in a daze? Miss Detective? Pei Qingyi said in fluent Chinese: "We are here to find a way to get a hint of how to live, so let's go and get in touch with the villagers." Also, Yizi, whose mother is missing, must focus on the investigation. ”
"Well, you're right...... Kamiya Sayoko rubbed her temples a few times and said, "Time is precious now, and we must find a way out as soon as possible before the supernatural phenomenon occurs." ”
"Let's go, then."
Leaving the Matsuda Hotel, the five people decided to go their separate ways, Kamiya Sayoko, Sima Zhen group, Pei Qingyi, Sui Wenbin, and Wu Xuanlin group, after all, there is always a need for someone who can speak Mandarin.
Yeshen Village is actually very large, and although the village has access to tap water, you can still see wells from time to time. The village has a large aging population, with many villagers over the age of 60, but it is not uncommon to see some teenage children.
When Pei Qingyi and the two new residents behind him walked in the village, they attracted the attention of many villagers, after all, the population of this village is less than 1,000 people, and it is easy to recognize the new faces. However, it didn't cause much reaction, and it seems that Yeshen Village often has foreign tourists.
"It's a tourist, right?" More than ten meters behind Pei Qingyi, an elegant-looking young man said to a short-haired girl beside him, "Did you hear them just now?" Looks like Chinese, right? ”
"Really?" The short-haired girl was a little surprised and said, "I really didn't see it." By the way, Kazuya, Yiko seems to be a little strange lately? She became very nervous and didn't dare to talk much when she saw us. ”
"It's a little weird." The young man known as Kazuya shook his head and said, "Harumi, I actually planned to tell you something, that's why I asked you to come out. ”
"What's the matter?" The short-haired girl named Harumi flashed her big bright eyes and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't talk about it." ”
"Actually, Iko...... She told me something very strange last night. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like she wasn't lying. She said to me......"
When Kazuya finished speaking, Harumi's eyes widened, and it took a while to react and say, "No, it won't be, right?" That kind of thing......"
"Perhaps." The elegant young man named Kazuya said, "However, Yizi doesn't look like he's lying, in short, be as careful as possible." ”
Kamiya Sayoko and Sima Zhen came to the door of Iko's house at this time. On the door plate, there is a name tag of "Kinochi".
"Do you really want to go in?" Sima Zhen was a little shrunken: "No, there is a ghost hidden in it......"
"In this Great Dusk Black Ridge, there will be ghosts everywhere." Kamiya Sayoko looked indifferent and said, "The apartment won't leave us with any safe corners, so you should die." If you're afraid, stay outside. ”
Sima Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of business is this?" Let's go in together. ”
Just as Sayoko Kamiya stretched out her hand and was about to ring the doorbell, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Excuse me...... Are you here to find Iko? ”
Kamiya Sayoko turned her head, and what she saw was an unusually handsome and outstanding man, the man was very tall, with a pair of eyebrows, eyes like a deep blue lake, a high nose bridge and slightly pursed lips, no matter what way it looks, he is a standard beautiful man who can make any girl a nymphomaniac.
"Are you ......" Sayoko Kamiya's hand also stopped in mid-air and asked, "You are also a friend of Miss Kiuchi?" ”
"Well, who are you?"
Sayoko Kamiya immediately replied, "Hello, my name is Sayoko Kamiya, yes...... A detective. ”
"Sayoko Kamiya?" The handsome man showed a look of surprise, looked at Kamiya Sayoko in a daze, and said, "Is that the famous female detective in Kyoto?" ”
"You know me?" Sayoko Kamiya immediately showed a happy expression: "Great, I didn't expect someone to know about me here......"
"Of course." The handsome man showed a lonely expression: "Before my wife died, I always admired you. She is a native of Kyoto. ”
"This, that'......"
"But how did you come here, such a famous detective? Is it an investigation case? The handsome man asked suspiciously, "And how did you meet Yizi?" ”
Kamiya Sayoko immediately replied, "Actually, I don't know Miss Kiuchi yet, I came here because I wanted to find out something. Are you a friend of Miss Kiuchi? "Well, we've been playing since we were kids. My surname is Kamihara, Kamihara Masachen. ”
Masatomi Kamihara walked to the door and rang the electric bell. After a while, the door slowly opened, revealing a very tired face with deep dark circles and a look of fear in it.
"Masatomi ......" Seeing Masatomi Kamihara, Kiuchi Iko was able to settle down, but suddenly saw Kamiya Sayoko again, and said in shock: "You...... It's you? ”
"What? Have you seen that? Masatomi Kamihara looked back at Sayoko Kamiya and said, "Miss Kamiya, didn't you say you didn't know Iko?" ”
"When I first entered Hagami Village before, I met Miss Kiuchi once."
After listening to her explanation, Masatomi Kamihara understood. And now Yizi's appearance is like a frightened bird, and his face is full of fear.
She ...... It's from outside the village," she said suddenly, "Yachen, don't let her in, don't let her in!" "No, it's not." Masatomi Kamihara hurriedly explained, "Listen to me, Iko, Miss Kamiya is a detective from Kyoto, do you remember?" The detective that Miyo admired the most during his lifetime. ”
"You mean......" Hearing this, Iko began to scrutinize Sayoko Kamiya, the wariness on her face beginning to melt. But despite this, she did not open the door completely.
"What are you afraid of?" Sayoko Kamiya immediately said straight to the point: "Are you, have you seen something incredible?" ”
Sima Zhen on the side, because they were speaking in Mandarin, couldn't understand what they were saying at all, so he didn't understand why Kiuchi Izuko seemed so scared. Although he watched the cartoon before entering the apartment, it was impossible to understand a few words at most, and to understand a large part of the dialogue.
He immediately interjected and asked, "Miss Kamiya, what are you talking about?" Could you please translate it for me......"
"Are you...... Chinese? "Kamihara Masashi was a little surprised.
"Yachen, come in. But I don't want to talk to them. The wariness on Yizi's face still did not subside, and said, "I, I don't want to ......"
Sima Zhen barely understood this sentence, and immediately said to Kamiya Sayoko: "Miss Kamiya, doesn't she want to see us?" No, I ......."
By this time, it was completely dark. The entire Great Dusk Black Ridge fell into silence.
"Iko doesn't seem to be in good spirits."
Masatomi Kamihara and Sayoko Kamiya were walking on the road near Kiuchi Ichiko's house, and he deliberately glanced at Sayoko Kamiya a few more times, and sighed, "If my wife Miyo is still alive, I will be very excited to see you......"
"That's a pity......"
"What exactly do you want to investigate?" Kamihara Masachen suddenly stopped and asked, "You just asked Yizi, what did you mean by what incredible thing you ......?"
"I can't go into too much detail about that. It's just ......" Sayoko Kamiya said this, and she couldn't say any more, she suddenly took out a pen, tore off a piece of note, wrote down her mobile phone number, handed it to Masatomi Kamihara, and said, "Mr. Kamihara, if you notice something very strange and incomprehensible happening, just call me." ”
Then, she looked at the house of Kiuchi Izuko's family, and there was a hint of depth in her eyes.
"Anyway, please......"
