The Eagle's Nest Tragedy 横沟正史 1884Words 2018-03-16
As for the fate of Kunio Nonomura? He took the Shinkansen train, unfortunately, he was drugged by the woman in black——A Kaoru, and later he was given an injection by a man with a prosthetic leg, so he is still in a coma. At this moment, the man with the prosthetic leg and the squint-eyed man were sitting next to Bangxiong and watching him in the seat in front of him. "Hey, Onda!" The man with the prosthetic leg called out to the squint-eyed man in the front seat in a low voice. "Isn't the thing in the travel bag just now a golden candlestick?" "Boss, I can't be wrong. I've done a private investigation a long time ago. It's just a dumbbell that looks like a golden candlestick, and there's a strange note on it!"

"Haha! I didn't expect this little kid to come up with such a brilliant move. The bearded man must be very angry!" "By the way, who is that bearded man?" When the man with the prosthetic leg heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, but he still said: "Whoever he is! All I care about is where this kid hides the candlestick." "That's true. Boss, we chased all the way here. If we still can't get the candlestick, our big boss will really blow his beard and stare!" "Hush!" The man wearing the prosthetic quickly signaled the squinting man to stop talking.

"That man has many ears and eyes, and nothing can escape his palm. If you speak ill of him behind his back, he will know immediately, so we'd better keep silent about him!" After the man with the prosthetic limb finished speaking, he still looked around nervously, fearing that the conversation just now would be overheard by others. Just as they were talking, the train gradually pulled into Tokyo Station, and the man with the prosthetic leg quickly patted the squint-eyed man on the shoulder. "Hey, Onda, what's next?" "Don't worry, look at me. Hey! Hey! Son, wake up! Alas! I really can't help you. You said you would get motion sickness, but I didn't expect you to get this dizzy...Hey, son, wake up!"

Seeing this, the passengers sitting near Bangxiong couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with this kid?" "It's nothing. He fell ill when he was traveling. Later, because the school was about to start, we had no choice but to bring him back to Tokyo. As a result, he is now in a coma and can't wake up... Kurata Sir, I'm sorry, when we arrive at Tokyo Station later, let's lift him off the train one by one!" "No problem. Oh! Poor thing, he looks really tired!" The man with prosthetic limbs - Kurata also intentionally played the oboe with the squint-eyed man - Onda.

When the train arrived at Tokyo Station, Kunio stepped out of the train with the support of Kurata and Onda, and the three got into the car waiting in front of the station, and the car drove away. Readers, before you continue reading this story, please open your hands! I think everyone will see that there are some swirl-like fingerprints on the pads of the ten fingers. Fingerprints are a wonderful thing. They don't change from birth to death, and even if there are tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of people in the world, no one will have the same fingerprints as others. As mentioned earlier, when the young man handed over the golden candlestick to Kunio for safekeeping on the coast of Shimotsuda, there was a fingerprint on the candlestick, and Sayoko wearing the iron mask wanted to use this fingerprint to prove that she was the granddaughter of Marquis Tamamori.

But why is there such a fingerprint on the candlestick?What kind of character is Marquis Yuchong? In Harajuku, not far from the Gaien of the Meiji Jingu Shrine, there is a large mansion like an imperial palace, which is the residence of Marquis Tamamori. Marquis Yuchong is seventy-three years old this year. Except for a nephew named Mengren, he doesn't have any relatives related to him by blood. In fact, Marquis Yuchong was not a lonely person. He also had a son named Xiumo, who was thirty-eight years old this year. Hidemo's aspiration is to be a sculptor, so eleven years ago, he took his wife and three-year-old daughter Sayoko to Italy to study sculpture.

For Marquis Tamamori, Sayoko is his most beloved granddaughter. Since Sayoko went to Italy, he has become very lonely. He wrote to his son every day to ask about Sayoko. Hidemo could understand his father's loneliness very well, so he often told his father about Sayoko in detail. It happened half a year after Xiumo left for Italy. One day, Marquis Tamamori received a beautifully crafted gold candlestick with a letter from Xiumo attached to it. After reading the letter, Marquis Yuchong put the golden candlestick beside him, looked at this candlestick every day, and at the same time hoped in his heart that another candlestick that was exactly the same as this candlestick but with fingerprints would be able to match the fingerprints soon. Come back with the master.

Five years later, Marquis Yuchong finally received a letter from Xiumo saying that he was going back to China, and he was very happy. However, this joy did not last long, because Xiumo was keen on sculpture and creation, her health was not very healthy, and she finally fell ill in bed, and her return to China was delayed. After waiting for another five years, until last year, he finished his life; because of long-term fatigue and sadness, Hidemo's wife also passed away with Hidemo earlier this year, and the couple failed to return to Japan after all. The lonely and helpless Sayoko had no choice but to return to Japan with her father's friend Kiyohiko Unno.

When Marquis Wangchong heard the news, he was very hurt in his heart, but he immediately put away the pain, because his precious granddaughter was about to return to Japan to visit him, so he eagerly looked forward to this day coming sooner every day. At the end of January, the ship that Sayoko and Unino Kiyohiko were on was about to sail into the Hakata port in Kyushu. Marquis Yucho very much hoped to go to Hakata port to meet his granddaughter in person, but he was already old and was really not suitable for long-distance travel, so he had to send his nephew to rush to Hakata port. People went to meet them.

Unexpectedly, four or five days later, only Toruto came back. He said that the boat that Sayoko and Kiyohiko Unano were on board was shipwrecked before it sailed into Hakata Port, and now both of them are missing. As the bad news came one after another, Marquis Yuchong became haggard day by day, and finally he was so heartbroken that he couldn't afford to fall ill.He was bedridden from February until early September.
