Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

Johnny's father went to Japan to serve in the military, and it is not surprising that he fell in love with a Japanese woman and had children.Most of the American soldiers abandoned Japanese women when they returned home, and even the children if they had children. The mothers who were abandoned were almost all whores.After the withdrawal of the US military, those poor mixed-race children who were abandoned by their parents once became a social problem in Japan. Children who can return to their home country with their fathers are very lucky few, and Johnny may be one of those very few.For some reason, the mother did not go back to the United States with them, but stayed in Japan alone, and the family was separated in this way.

After returning to China, perhaps Johnny’s father never declared his household registration. It was not until after he married Teresa Noud that he took Johnny as the child of his husband and wife, falsified his birth date, and declared his household registration. Later, Teresa died of illness, and Wilson Howard was also damaged by alcoholism.Howard knew that he would die soon, so he had an idea to let Johnny go to Japan to meet his biological mother before he closed his eyes (maybe Johnny knew that his biological mother was in Japan before that). For this reason, Wilson deliberately used his body to hit the rich man's car in exchange for compensation and let Johnny go to Japan.However, his father's painstaking efforts were completely in vain, and Johnny was killed in Japan.Who the hell killed him?For what reason?

Thinking of this, Ken Shuftan fell into a more terrifying imagination. Will Johnny's "Japanese mother" be happy about a surprise visit?If one guesses from the normal mother-child relationship, it goes without saying that she is very happy.What's more, Johnny has never heard from him since he went to the United States with his father when he was young, and now his biological son has grown up and returned to his mother.Could there be a mother in the world who would not be happy about it?The voice and smile of the biological son who was separated when he was young should always appear in front of the mother's eyes, which makes people worry about it.Once the son comes back, the mother will definitely hug her son tightly, and is so excited that she can't speak for a while.

But what if the mother married another man and started a family?Of course, she and her Japanese husband will have a few more children, but this husband has no idea that his wife has such a past in the past.The husband loves his wife and the children respect their mother. This is a stable and harmonious middle-class family. However, at this moment, a "black son" suddenly came in. Although he was indeed the flesh and blood born of her October pregnancy, he returned to the country with his father more than 20 years ago and cut off the news, and gradually forgot about him. up. Now, if the husband finds out that he has such a son, it will be terrible, and it will also bring a great blow to the current "Japanese children".This is tantamount to suddenly throwing a bomb into a harmonious family.The terrified mother seemed to appear in front of Ken's eyes. The mother of six gods and masters finally put her own son...

"But, no matter what, is there really a mother in the world who lays hands on her own son in order to protect herself?" The question interrupted Ken's last guesses. The atmosphere of the search work meeting was very tense. Since Dongju proposed the new suspect Yasugi Kyoko, the case became more and more clear. "This poem by Yasuo Saijo is full of longing for his mother. The author expresses his longing for his mother by recalling his mother's visit to the valley when he was a child. The love between mother and child is so touching that it makes people cry. Can we see this mother and child as What about Yasugi Kyoko and Johnny Howard?"

"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned by this bizarre association of Dongju. "In other words, suppose Johnny is Yasugi Kyoko's illegitimate son." "But Johnny wasn't born then." Nasu raised a question for everyone. "It's just Johnny's age recorded in his passport. Maybe his father fiddled with his birth date, or maybe his household registration was late." "So, the 40-year-old Yasugi Kyoko gave birth to Johnny before she was 16!?" "I think Yasugi Kyoko is hiding her actual age." "Then, who is the foreigner accompanying Yasugi Kyoko?"

"I think he was Johnny's father, Kyoko Yasugi's husband at the time." "For some reason, only Johnny was brought back to America by his father." "And more than 20 years later, he came to Japan to look for his mother." "Kyoko Yasugi must have been very surprised when she saw her own son come back." "Maybe it's not just a question of surprise. I think Jun Yangping must not know that his wife has such a history in the past. If her husband finds out, she will definitely not be forgiven. The famous Mrs. Jun Yangping, when she was young, unexpectedly She had an affair with a black man and gave birth to a child who was half black and not white. It was known from her household registration book that she was not officially married to the black man. From this point of view, the predicament of her life at that time can be imagined. Therefore , this matter will not only make her husband angry, but the mere fact that she, as a very popular female critic, has such a dark-skinned illegitimate child is enough to make her notorious and prestige."

"You mean Yasugi Kyoko killed Johnny?!" Nasu asked excitedly. "I think this suspicion is very great." "However, if it's as you speculated, then the mother killed her own son!" "Although it is her own son, she left her when she was young, and she is a mixed-race child born after having sex with black people. How much mother-child affection can she have for Johnny? Suddenly a person who claimed to be his son stood in front of him, As for Yasugi Kyoko, I am afraid that there will be no true love between mother and child. On the contrary, she may regard his appearance as an ominous omen that fundamentally curses her family and social status, and she will hate him."

"So, what is the connection between Saijo Yasho's poem and 'Yasugi Mother and Son'?" "It is said that the straw hat poem on Kirizumi Onsen has been printed on lunch boxes and brochures introducing hot springs since before the war. When Kyoko and the others went on a trip to Kirizumi, Yasugi saw that straw hat poem. She liked it very much. He translated the meaning of the poem to his husband and children and taught them. Wilson kept the poem in his heart. When Johnny grew up, he may use it as a good memory of the "family of three" travel, He told Johnny again. Moreover, his mother's face was imprinted in Johnny's mind together with Kizumi as a vague memory of his childhood. He probably carried the straw hat poem his father taught him again, and put It came to Japan as a souvenir from my mother."

"And what about the collection of poems? Yasuo Saijo's collection of poems was probably left by Johnny in his private taxi." "Maybe Yasugi Kyoko bought it for him when he came back from Kirizumi. If it is true, this poem is truly a souvenir of his mother." "How touching it is to come to Japan from the United States to visit my mother who misses me day and night. How cruel it is to be killed by her mother!" "Yasugi Kyoko also has two Japanese children. If they learn that the mother they respect had this disgusting experience and a half-black illegitimate child, they will definitely be hit hard. Therefore, in order to protect the pure Japanese Two children of two bloods killed an American half-breed."

Everyone was very saddened by Dongju's unexpected reasoning.It is indeed an irredeemable crime and motivated by helplessness. "Yasugi Kyoko is indeed quite suspicious, but we don't have any real evidence!" Nasu said with a sigh. The so-called "family of three" who visited Wuzu is just a speculation, not to mention that there is no evidence that one of the three people is Yasugi Kyoko.At present, Yasugi Kyoko's biggest suspicious point is that when she heard Saijo Yasuo's straw hat poem, she made an obvious reaction, but she insisted that she didn't know the place of Kirizumi.However, even if there is the place name of Wuji in the poem, it is normal to not necessarily memorize the whole poem, but only remember a sentence or a paragraph. Moreover, there is no basis to prove that the "citizen" mentioned in Nakayama's postcard to Omuro Yoshino is Yasugi Kyoko.Dongju's reasoning is based on the assumption that this "citizen" X is Yasugi Kyoko.Since the reasoning based on this by accident happened to coincide quite well with a few scattered situations, I felt that Yasugi Kyoko was seriously suspected.However, this is only a subjective inference of the search headquarters. "Let's investigate whether Yasugi Kyoko was at the scene when the crime happened and her past experience!" Shanlu asked for Nasu's opinion. "It's time to investigate..." Nasu didn't answer bluntly. "But right now, even if Yasugi can't prove that he was not at the scene of the crime, we can't do anything to her." Hexi interjected. Under normal circumstances, the question of whether the suspect is at the scene of the crime is considered only when there is great doubt about the crime.People who have nothing to do with the case don't matter even if they don't have an alibi.Only after the police conduct a large amount of evidence collection and collect enough materials that suspect the suspect has committed a crime, will the suspect have the burden of proof to clarify his suspicion.In the present case, only the police bear that responsibility.If no evidence is collected, the other party cannot be regarded as a suspect subjectively and hastily asked the other party to produce an alibi.Even if the police conduct an investigation, they can only make insinuations. But at this time, a new situation was discovered from an unexpected place. One day, as soon as Dongju arrived at the search headquarters, the receptionist of the police station told him that someone wanted to see him.Almost all the people who want to see the police are related to the case, especially when investigating a certain case, there will be more visitors who ask to see the police, but it is very rare for them to come so early.Someone wants to see him, maybe the other people who searched the headquarters haven't come yet. "A young girl. Dongju, you are so talented!" Although Dong Ju was teased by the staff at the reception desk, he had no idea who the visitor was. It wasn't until he entered the reception room and saw the visitor standing there that he blurted out: "Ah, so it's you..." The eight-tailed Tanai Xinzi suddenly nodded in salute, and stuck out his tongue. "It's so early, what's the matter? Are you still troubled by that matter?" Dongju asked. "I'm sorry to interrupt you so suddenly. I've already been fired." "Fired?" "Fired by Yasugi's family." "Fired? What's going on?" "I'm not too sure, but Mr. Yasugi seemed very dissatisfied with the incident last time." "You didn't do anything wrong last time. It was you who assisted the police and caught the murderer who broke into the house." "It seems that the problem lies here. It easily alarmed the police and offended her long face! She said that Mr. Yasugi has nothing to do with the image of the police." "But wasn't his husband there?" "She said that I don't need to show my face at all, talking too much." "Is that why you were fired?" "Yes, of course, because it was not officially hired from the beginning, but I just broke in and stayed there, so when I was kicked out, there is nothing to say." "But it's embarrassing to be kicked out suddenly like this. Is there any place to go?" Dongju looked at Xinzi again.She was wearing the same Russian blouse and a long skirt as when we met the day before, except that she was carrying two small suitcases in her hands.The day before yesterday, Dongju was taken aback by this newcomer who looked like a girl from a big city after a short time, but today, maybe because he knew the reason why she was fired first, he seemed to think that she Dressed up very ugly. Pushing such an unaccompanied young girl onto the bustling streets of Tokyo is like driving a lamb among wolves. "Well, Mr. Jun Yangping seemed to think that I was very pitiful, so he asked me to work in his support club headquarters." "Speaking of Jun Yanghei's support club, it's the one in the hotel in Shinjuku, right?" "Well, yes, my room is also booked in that hotel. I think it's pretty good there. I came here to say goodbye to you today. After going to Shinjuku, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come here on purpose again." "Really, thank you for coming to say goodbye. I'll have a place to go right away. I'm so happy for you!" "Isn't that right, my wife wants to drive me away, and I don't know what to do for a while. Now that things have happened, I can't go back to Yao, because I came out with the determination not to learn something, and vowed not to go back. " Dongju didn't try to correct her thoughts, saying: "It's amazing to have that kind of ambition, but what exactly do you want to learn?" "There are so many things I want to learn. First of all, I have to look at the vast world and broaden my horizons. I am still young, and I plan to do many, many things in the future." "It's good to learn as much as possible while you're young, but don't forget to cherish yourself, there is no second time in youth." As Dongju talked, he found that his words seemed to be preaching, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.And he suddenly felt that the implication was tantamount to asking—is this girl still a virgin? "I understand that kind of thing. I will cherish the things that are only once." Tanjing Xinzi replied very simply, as if he had read Dongju's mind. During the conversation with Xinzi, Dongju suddenly had a question: the headquarter of Johnny's murder and search was located at the Marimachi Police Station. Could it be that Yasugi Kyoko drove Xinzi away just to keep her away from here? Johnny killed and searched the headquarters of the two detectives who met Xinzi after going to Yao.Yasugi Kyoko may have known this situation from Xinzi's mouth.This fast-talking newbie might not talk too much, so in order to prevent her from being too talkative, he sent her to her husband's office in Shinjuku. If possible, she really wanted to drive her back to Eight-tailed, but that might attract the attention of the search headquarters.Besides, it was not Xinzi who called the police, so it would be too harsh to do so. ——Yasugi Kyoko did not allow Tani Shinko to contact the search headquarters, which shows that Yasugi had a guilty conscience in the case of Johnny's murder. "Mr. Interpol, what's the matter with you? Why did your face become so scary all of a sudden!" When Xinzi said this, Dongju suddenly woke up. "Xinzi, I need your help with something." "Please help me? What's the matter?" Xinzi asked innocently, tilting his head. "It's about Mr. Yasugi, I want you to help me investigate." "Ah. Did Mr. Yasugi do something bad?" Xinzi's eyes were full of curiosity. "No, no, don't be so smart." "Why, it's not a bad thing, it's boring." "Do you think only bad things are interesting?" "Mr. Yasugi is a person whose heart and appearance are completely different. On TV and magazines, she is very beautiful and her mind is easy to use. She is a model of a good wife and mother worthy of everyone's emulation, but there is no one like her who only cares about herself. Her husband and children were all taken care of by servants. I’m sure she didn’t even take care of the baby after it was born. She never cooked a meal or washed a piece of underwear at home. But such a person, outside Pretend to be the godfather of a good wife and mother in the world, it's really ridiculous." "Oh, you are really amazing!" It seems that Xinzi didn't hold a grudge because he was kicked out of the house, but that he didn't have a good impression of Yasugi Kyoko at all.In this way, things will be easier to handle. "Hey, you need my help. What's the matter?" Xinzi looked at Dongju carefully and asked. "I want you to check where Yasugi Kyoko went on September 17th and October 22nd." "What happened between September 17th and October 22nd?" "Well, it's related to a case. To be precise, around 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on September 17, and around 6:00 a.m. on October 22." "Is the case you mentioned the one you went to Yao to investigate last time?" "Yeah. That's the one." Unable to avoid it, Dongju had no choice but to nod. "So, you want to investigate the evidence of presence or absence?" There was a curious look in Xinzi's eyes again.She noticed that Dong Ju was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, I will do my best to investigate, and I will peel off Yasugi Kyoko's painting." "Che, please don't get me wrong, Yasugi Kyoko didn't..." "All right, all right, I know what happened on September 17th and October 22nd, you only have to go to the library and look up the bound copies of the newspapers and you'll know right away. Actually, there's no need to look up , just look at the sign hanging there, and you can know what you detectives are searching for." Xinzi pouted in the direction of the search headquarters office on the other side of the reception room.This girl looks a little frivolous on the outside, but there is a sharpness hidden in her heart. "I don't need to say more about these, but what I entrust you to do must be done quietly." "Just don't worry, leave it to me, maybe I have to betray the master, so who else will I tell?" "Okay, since you understand it very well, I won't say anything, the investigation must not let Yasugi...Kyoko notice it" With a glimmer of hope, Dongju entrusted it to Xinzi.Two days later, Xinzi heard back. "Check it out." She said out of breath on the phone. "Oh, have you checked it out?" Dongju really didn't expect to hear back so soon. "On September 17, she seemed to be at home, but there is no definite evidence." "at home?" "Because no records were made." "Does their family still keep such records?" "Because whenever I go out, I take detailed records, so when I don't make records, I am at home." "And what about October 22?" "It was recorded that day." "Ah, there is a record? Then where did she go?" "On the 21st of the day before that, her husband, Mr. Jun Yanghei, happened to be giving a lecture in Takasaki City, and his wife went with him." "What, Takasaki?!" Dongju couldn't help repeating loudly. "Don't scare me, why is it so loud all of a sudden." "Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you talking about Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture?" "Is there another place called Takasaki besides Gunma Prefecture?" "Of course not, are you sure?" "That's right, it's written in black and white on Mr. Jun Yanghei's activity schedule." "Oh, you're already working at Junyangping's office." Dongju learned of an important situation.The distance from Takasaki to Yokogawa is only nearly 30 kilometers. The day before Nakayama fell to his death in the Wuzui Reservoir, Yasugi Kyoko came to Takasaki, which is only 30 kilometers away. "They stayed in Takasaki on the night of October 21, and they came back that day, do you know that?" "I live there. It is clearly written in the record that Jun Yanghei gave two speeches at the Takasaki Civic Center, one at 3pm and the other at 7pm, and then he and the citizen volunteers For a discussion, they stayed at the Wuchuan Hotel that night." "You have investigated in great detail, thank you." "You're welcome, I'm willing to do this kind of thing, can I be a criminal police officer?" "Well, stop here, it'll be better for you." "Actually, I know a lot more." Xinzi said hintingly. "What else do you know?" "On the same day, an old woman named Zhongshanzhong fell from the dam of the reservoir in Matsuida Town and fell to her death." "This old woman is probably the same person as the Tanii that you guys came to investigate in Yao." "I said you..." "The Matsuida town is under Takasaki's nose." "Okay, you are indeed an excellent criminal policeman, but you must not investigate any further!" "If you still have this kind of investigation in the future, just come to me, I am very happy to help you." Tanjing Xinzi is eager to try, full of confidence.
