Chapter 44: Yaksha 1985 (3)

The train station a few kilometers away from town.

Keishi Otomo took a handbag from Toshio Mizuno, the head of the Otomo group, and said, "I will also accompany the Hong Kong guests to stay here for a full month and say hello to them for me." ”

In a place that Keishi Otomo didn't see, Shushi Yamaoka was looking at Keishi Otomo and Toshio Mizuno.

After Keishi Otomo and Toshio Mizuno break up, Keishi Otomo gets on the bus back to the fishing town from the train station, and Toshio Mizuno walks into a convenience store to pass the time and wait for the next train back to Tokyo.

Shushi Yamaoka walked into the convenience store and greeted, "Handsome." ”

Mizuno Toshio followed the prestige, and blurted out a "big brother".

Shushi Yamaoka said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Toshio Mizuno took off the sunglasses on his face, bent down and bowed to say hello, "How are you doing?" ”

Shushi Yamaoka called Toshio Mizuno out of the convenience store and came to a secluded place outside the town.

"Handsome man." Shushi Yamaoka stopped and called out Toshio Mizuno's name.

Toshio Mizuno was stunned, and then was punched in the face by Shushi Yamaoka and knocked to the ground.

After Toshio Mizuno got up from the ground, he picked up the trench coat he had draped on his body and was knocked to the ground, dusted off the dust on the trench coat, and asked with a smile on his face, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shushi Yamaoka didn't say a word, grabbed Mizuno Toshio by the collar, and gave Mizuno Toshio another punch in the face, which made Mizuno Toshio dizzy.

When Mizuno Toshio bent over and stood still, Shushi Yamaoka punched Mizuno in the face again, and Mizuno fell to the ground again.

Before Mizuno could get up, Shushi Yamaoka kicked Mizuno down again, making him roll on the ground.

Shushi Yamaoka stepped forward in two steps and kicked Toshio Mizuno again.

Shushi Yamaoka grabbed Mizuno by the collar and lifted him up and punched him in the face.

Toshio Mizuno was beaten against the wall.

Shushi Yamaoka pulled Mizuno Toshio's shoulder, saw blood flowing down Mizuno Toshio's nostrils and the corners of his mouth, and couldn't fight the next punch anymore, withdrew his hands and put them in his pockets, so that he found a suitable place for his hands that had nowhere to put them.

Ignoring the blood flowing on his face, Toshio Mizuno clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all, you are still so brave, you deserve to be 'Yaksha'." ”

Shushi Yamaoka said impatiently, "Still talking? ”

Toshio Mizuno had no choice but to put down his hands and look at Shushi Yamaoka.

Shushi Yamaoka asked, "What is your relationship with Otomo?" ”

Toshio Mizuno said, "Otomo? ”

Shushi Yamaoka said: "I don't care about the rest, I'll ask you one thing, and you must answer me." ”

Toshio Mizuno turned his head in disdain.

Shushi Yamaoka asked, "It's narcotics, isn't it?" ”

Toshio Mizuno said, "He's now my team leader. He said he wanted to find a quick source of money for his women and use mahjong to attract fishermen to buy ice. ”

Shushi Yamaoka asked: "In other words, playing mahjong is just a pretense, in fact, he wants to take this opportunity to sell him those narcotics, and you are responsible for transporting these to him?" ”

Toshio Mizuno spat out a mouthful of spit mixed with blood.

Shushi Yamaoka took out a white handkerchief from his jacket pocket and handed it to Toshio Mizuno.

Toshio Mizuno took the handkerchief and bowed to Shushi Yamaoka in thanks, but he didn't wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth and under his nostrils.

Shushi Yamaoka asked, "Why did you follow Otomo?" What about the eldest sister? ”

Toshio Mizuno burst into tears, and after wiping away his tears with a handkerchief, he said, "Our Matsuda group has broken up. ”

Mizuno walked over and picked up his trench coat that had fallen to the ground, carefully dusting off the dirt on the trench coat.

Shushi Yamaoka asked, "What about the eldest sister?" ”

Mizuno said, "You know what? The eldest sister is dead, dying of a drug overdose. ”

Listening to Toshio Mizuno's words, Shushi Yamaoka remembered the sweet, gentle, warm, and polite woman who looked like most Japanese women - Yoshiko Matsuda.

……

Yamaoka Shushi first met Yoshiko Matsuda in 1946, when Yamaoka's father had died in the Chinese battlefield and his mother had also died in the "Tokyo Bombing", and Yamaoka Shushi was still a fifteen-year-old boy with his ten-year-old sister in the slums of Tokyo.

In the surrender of 1945, Japan, as a "*** doctrine", received the punishment it deserved. At this time, Japan's economy was declining day by day, and at the same time, there was a shortage of food, and life was overwhelmed, reaching the point of not having enough food and clothing.

On November 18, 1945, the Asahi Shimbun reported in a supplement that "the threat of death is looming over the whole of Japan, and those starving to death are spreading to the streets of the country."

Contrary to the trend of economic development in Japan, there is the development of yakuza forces. At that time, many people met their needs by trading daily necessities on the black market.

However, the black market was not under the control of the law, and there was an urgent need for someone to establish order in the black market, so the traditional "Yakuza" and the remnants of the Japanese army who were released, the "old and young" of the "militaristic era", ronin, traffickers and pawns, etc., quickly combined, and modern Japanese gangsters came into being. This is why yakuza organizations in Japan sprung up after the war.

This is also the time when these gangs are at their peak by fighting for territory, organizing prostitution, horse racing, and running shipping and entertainment companies.

The Matsuda gumi is a gang organization that emerged in the Shimbashi black market.

Not long after Shushi Yamaoka joined the Matsuda group in order to make a living, Yoshiko Matsuda was overrun by Matsuda Yoshiichi, the leader of the original Matsuda group, and became his wife.

After Matsuda Yoshiko was occupied by Matsuda Yoshiichi and became the "Lady of the Village", she quickly accepted her fate and did not become a "Japanese Xianglin sister-in-law", but actively gave advice to Matsuda Yoshiichi and became Matsuda Yoshiichi's "virtuous helper".

But "the good times didn't last long", and in the same year, during a gang firefight, Matsuda Yoshiichi was shot into a sieve by North Korean gangsters in a hail of bullets.

At this time, the huge organization of the Matsuda Group was leaderless, and someone was in urgent need of someone to manage everything. Just when everyone in the group was fighting to the death for this battle, Yoshiko Matsuda stepped forward.

As a woman of Matsuda Yoshiichi, it is natural for Yoshiko Matsuda to succeed Matsuda as the leader of the group. At the same time, most of the members of the group also supported it and did not dare to have other opinions. As a result, Yoshiko Matsuda appeared in everyone's sight as the second boss of the Matsuda group.

At that time, the elders who intended to get involved in the position of the leader of the Matsuda group, in this chaos, no one obeyed anyone, and the reason why they let Matsuda Yoshiichi's widow, Matsuda Yoshiko, succeed him as the leader of the gang. They all thought that Matsuda Yoshiko was a woman, how could she lead a gang, and when the time came, they would just find an opportunity to get her down.

But what they didn't expect was that after Matsuda Yoshiko came to power, she quickly stabilized her foothold and solved a number of problems that threatened the survival of the gang, so that the elders of the Matsuda Group had to admire this woman.

Because her husband was assassinated by the North Korean gangsters, Matsuda Yoshiko organized people to launch a counterattack against the North Korean gangs at the beginning of her tenure.

And Yamaoka Shushi, who is full of "admiration" for Matsuda Yoshiko's big sister, is guarding Matsuda Yoshiko with a katana.

Under the leadership of Yoshiko Matsuda, Matsuda-gumi bloodbathed the headquarters of the North Korean gangsters.

Because the headquarters of the Korean yakuza was located in Utacho, Shibuya, this incident was called the "Shibuya Incident".

-- Many North Korean and Taiwanese nationals living in Uda Town, Shibuya, but not belonging to North Korean gangs, were innocently affected, and it can be said that the "Shibuya Incident" was also one of the causes of the outbreak of the "228 Incident".

After this battle, dozens of North Korean gangsters were killed by him, and Matsuda Yoshiko not only avenged her husband, but also established prestige in the gang, allowing her to sit firmly in the position of gang leader.

After defeating the Korean gangsters, Yoshiko Matsuda began to expand the sphere of influence of the Matsuda Gumi, and she personally led people to eliminate the local small gangs.

Yamaoka Shushi, who "knows lust and admires Shaoai", charges forward every time, and is also called "Yaksha" because of his courage in rushing and killing.

Through threats and intimidation, she conquered the small gangs in the neighborhood step by step, and succeeded in developing the Matsuda gumi into one of the largest gangs in Tokyo.

At its peak, Matsuda-gumi even shared the underworld of Tokyo on an equal footing with Sannokai.

At this time, Matsuda Yoshiko was nicknamed "The Empress of the Underworld", which shows the huge power of her peak strength.

Shushi Yamaoka has also changed from a kid picking up food to eat in a garbage heap to a "yaksha" who talks about tiger color change on the Tokyo underworld.

Only Yoshiko Matsuda controls this man, who is regarded as a demon by outsiders, in a way unique to women.

This was because Japan was in a state of being taken over by the United States at that time, and during the Korean War, due to its geographical location, it was the primary logistics base of the "United Nations Forces", and Matsuda Yoshiko's series of expansion measures were too violent, which seriously affected Japan's public security environment.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of Japan as a logistics base for the "United Nations Forces" during the Korean War, the Americans began to make a series of suppressive measures against Yoshiko Matsuda.

First, he forcibly disbanded the Matsuda gumi on the grounds that they were setting fires, and then suppressed the Matsuda gumi by supporting other gangs.

While Matsuda's development is frustrated, Shushi Yamaoka also discovers that his private life is also a mess - his sister Natsuko is addicted to drugs.

Shushi Yamaoka repeatedly dissuaded Natsuko, but to no avail.

Natsuko said to Shushi Yamaoka: "You only know that you fight and kill others on the street, and you have never cared about me, what right do you have to interfere in my private life?" ”

One day more than a year after discovering that Natsuko was taking drugs, Shushi Yamaoka received a notice from the police: a guy who got up early to exercise, in a remote ditch, found the body of a woman, the corpse's clothes had Natsuko's name written on it, and asked Shushi Yamaoka to identify the body and determine whether the deceased was Natsuko.

Shushi Yamaoka recognized the corpse at the first sight of it, it was his sister Natsuko, and there was a necklace around his neck that he had given her.

The police officer in charge of guarding the body said: "Because the deceased had a history of drug abuse, and traces of drug use were also found on the body, the preliminary judgment of the police was that he fell into hallucinations after taking drugs, fell into a ditch and drowned." It's like the 'mirror incident' that happened some time ago, have you heard of it? ”

Shushi Yamaoka had heard of this incident: a drug addict who had taken a stimulant pushed six men, women, and children fishing, playing, and walking along the canal into the river, and three adults were rescued, while three children drowned.

However, Shushi Yamaoka still couldn't quite accept this statement.

After Shushi Yamaoka paid for the examination, the forensic doctor conducted an autopsy and came to the conclusion that Natsuko died of a drug overdose, not suicide and not murder.

- In Japan, in cases of unnatural deaths, if the police believe that homicide is suspected, a "judicial autopsy" is conducted, and the forensic science department of the university is in charge; In other cases, "administrative autopsies" are performed by specialized physicians, who are called "supervising doctors", while "administrative autopsies" require the family of the deceased or other related persons to pay for the corresponding expenses. In other words, the police do not consider homicide or unnatural death in an accident, and if the family refuses to pay for the examination, it is "suicide". This is an important reason for the high suicide rate in Japan - the statistical caliber is different from that of other countries.

The death of his sister Natsuko devastated Shushi Yamaoka.

Until one day, Shushi Yamaoka met Fuyuko who had come to Tokyo from the countryside to look for her parents at the train station.

Looking at this country girl who looks like her sister Natsuko and has a similar name to Natsuko, Osamu Yamaoka is determined to protect her simple smile.

In the heavy rain, she helps Fuyuko find a small restaurant owned by her parents, visits Fuyuko's small restaurant every day, takes Fuyuko around the beautiful scenery of Tokyo, and invites Fuyuko to eat Western food......

Shushi Yamaoka's heart, which was frozen by the death of his sister Natsuko, has softened again because of Fuyuko.

Finally, Shushi Yamaoka decides to break away from the Matsuda gumi and from the control of Yoshiko Matsuda, leave Tokyo, return to the countryside, and live an ordinary life with Fuyuko......

The past is like a fast-forward movie, and it flashes by in front of Shushi Yamaoka.

Regarding Yoshiko Matsuda's death, Shushi Yamaoka can already calmly comment: "What a miserable death!" ”

Toshio Mizuno said: "Although the eldest sister has become chattering because of sucking that thing before her death, she still often mentions you, she said: How can the Matsuda group not have a 'Yaksha'?" She often asked: Where is Xiuzhi now? I also think that if you were still here, the Matsuda Group would not have collapsed. ”

Shushi Yamaoka turned his head to look at Toshio Mizuno and did not speak.

At this time, the radio voice of the railway station was heard in the distance: "This train is about to start, please get on the train as soon as possible." ”

Toshio Mizuno bowed to Shushi Yamaoka and said, "I won't mention to others that I've met my eldest brother." Rest assured! ”

After saying that, Toshio Mizuno trotted and ran towards the station.
