Chapter 5 Section five

Mamiya said he wanted to read the report, so Kusanagi brought a magazine to his seat, which was "TRY Weekly" released yesterday.Mamiya put on his presbyopic glasses and just started reading, then quickly snorted and put the magazine on the table. "This is too flattering Lianzaki Zhiguang! It's like treating him as a person with super powers!" "This title implies continuous reporting!" Kusanagi said, "At the end of the article, people can't help but pay attention to this sect. It is estimated that a second report will be planned in the near future."

"Yeah! It doesn't really matter what it is," Mamiya pointed to the photo in the magazine, "This photo is well taken! Just looking at this photo, it is true that no one touched the victim, he jumped out of the window by himself." "Yes." As Mamiya said, Nakagami Masakazu turned his face away as if he was running away from something, and put his hands in a posture to protect his body, and ran towards the window in a hurry——When Kusanagi was taking evidence from photographer Tanaka Just saw this photo. "I heard that the jurisdiction treated this case as a suicide."

"Yes, because I was found embezzling public funds, I jumped off the building impulsively in a panic-I heard that's how the case was settled." "That's it! It's good for you, I didn't get involved in trouble." "This...although it is so..." Kusanagi picked up the weekly magazine and rolled it up. "What's the matter? Do you have any dissatisfaction?" "I can't really tell... have you gone online, Chief?" Gamiya suddenly frowned, "Internet? I can't do that, it's not my way at all." "That's it... In fact, the search volume for 'Bitter Love Society' has suddenly increased since yesterday, obviously because this report has aroused the attention of the society."

Mamiya looked up at him sharply, "Do you think the weekly magazine is also involved? Is it a case created to promote the sect? Deliberately let believers commit suicide?" "It's not..." Mamiya waved his hands heavily, "I said that I had a strange idea, and that's not what I meant. Don't think too much, and get rid of such a troublesome case quickly! Okay?" "Understood!" Kusanagi said and returned to his seat.After a while, the cell phone rang, and Kusanagi saw that it was Fujioka, the policeman in the jurisdiction, who had given him the phone number a few days ago.

He said that he wanted to talk about something very important about this case, so the two made an appointment to meet in the evening. The place where we met was a tavern called "Toranomon". There are separate private rooms here, which is convenient for talking. Fujioka had arrived first, wearing a dark blue suit. "I'm sorry to ask you to come out." After ordering fresh beer and some meals, Fujioka bowed his head and said. "It's okay, you said there is something important?" Fujioka replied: "Yes." He leaned forward a little while speaking, "Actually, someone is telling the truth."

"Information?" "It was an anonymous phone call. A man called and said he was a follower of the 'Bitter Love Society'. He said that it was not Zhongshang who stole the funds of the religious group but other cadres. To some extent he was involved, but at most he was being used, and the main culprit was someone else." "Who is the principal offender?" Fujioka lowered his voice, "It's the first minister and the second minister." "The first minister is the man named Mashima! The second minister is..." "It's a man named Moriya, Hajime Moriya."

"Wait a minute! How did the informer know these things?" "He said he heard it from Nakagami. He heard that Nakagami was very dissatisfied with Mashima and Moriya. Recently, what those two people asked Nakagami to do has become more and more excessive, so he said it." "Wouldn't it be better if I told this kind of thing to the Patriarch Lian Qi?" "That's the problem. I heard that Lian Qi noticed the behavior of the two people. According to the informant, Lian Qi noticed it but pretended not to see it. Mashima and Moriya were the founders of the 'Bitter Love Society' when it was established. Disciple, I heard that they were the ones who encouraged Lian Qi, who was still a qigong master at the time, to set up a sect behind the scenes, so even Lian Qi himself couldn't be tough on them. Knowing this relationship, Nakagami didn't ask Lian Qi to explain the situation directly. Instead, they plan to break away from the 'Bitter Love Society'."

"Separate? Do you mean to leave the church?" "To another religious group." "Others?" When Kusanagi asked, the clerk came in with fresh beer, but the two of them were not interested in clinking glasses and drinking, they just drank silently. "Do you know 'guard the light'?" "Ah, I've heard of it." "It is a religious group that has been established for more than ten years. Although it is also a strange group, it is also calling for members, and its scope of activities overlaps with that of the 'Bitter Love Society'. Over the years, the two have competed for members. I heard that I want to leave the 'Bitter Love Society' and go over there."

Kusanagi shook his head, "This is too immoral, how could belief be such a thing?" "For them, religion is a kind of business. As long as they can make money, it's nothing to change the teachings. The informant also said that Zhong Shang has already talked with 'Guardian Guangming' and has come to leave at any time The stage of the 'Bitter Love Society' is over, and at that time, some believers will be brought there like gifts." "Well, there really is such a thing!" Their conversation was interrupted for a while as the food was being served.

"Have you read "TRY Weekly"?" Fujioka asked after the clerk left. "Look, the content is the same as the testimony." "Don't you think it's strange? According to the report, Lianzaki didn't say a word about the misappropriation of funds, but only accused Nakagami of betraying himself." "That's true..." "The betrayal that Lian Qi said was not embezzlement of funds but switching to 'guarding the light'. This behavior is to let other cadres and believers know that they will never allow betrayal, or kill chickens for monkeys to see. But if this is announced to the public , will affect the reputation of the church, so the crime of embezzling funds is passed on to Zhong Shang—how does my reasoning sound?"

Kusanagi picked up the dish with chopsticks and nodded, "I think it's good." "Really?" Fujioka said excitedly, "Isn't it suicide?" "But even if what you said is right, the police still have nothing to do. No matter how you think about killing people, it's not appropriate, because they didn't even touch the victim!" "So I ask you to discuss it again. Aren't you very good at this kind of cases? Don't you have any good ideas?" "Didn't I say it before? It's not that I'm good at solving such cases. I've talked to physicists I know, but they didn't help, saying it's not a physics problem." "So..." Fujioka was discouraged, "But I still don't think I can accept it!" Kusanagi refrained from saying "I think so too", he remembered what Mamiya had said to himself - "Get rid of it quickly".
