Chapter 39 third quarter

Long Fu said that he went to investigate Tian Cang's wife, which aroused Dianzi's great interest. "So, do you have any clues?" Dianzi unconsciously looked at Long Fu. "Don't worry. There are no clues yet." Long Fu said with piercing eyes, "In order to find that lady, I asked them to send a copy of the Tiancang household registration." "Tian Cang's household registration? So you know his origin?" Dianzi was surprised.How did Long Fu find out about these things? "I asked the Odawara Police Station." Long Fu replied: "Look, when Tian Cang died violently before, didn't Tian Cang's wife state what happened at the Odawara Police Station. I think the address of origin should be left on that statement."

Dianzi nodded, thinking, yes, it's true. "when did it happen?" "About a week ago." "It's so early? How come I don't know at all?" Noriko is angry at Ryuuo for not cooperating. "Oh, sorry. I was negligent and forgot to tell you." In order to prevaricate, Long Fu hurriedly took out his notebook from his pocket. "It doesn't matter what other situations are recorded, the main points you want to know are recorded on this page." As he spoke, he turned to that page for Dianzi.Tatsuo's somewhat scribbled handwriting, excerpted from Tanakura Yoshizo's household registration copy, appeared before his eyes.

Originally from XX Village, Koka County, Shiga Prefecture Yoshizo Takura Born on July 15th in the fifth year of Taisho wife Yoshiko Born on February 25, Taisho Eight Years 〇Ryoko is originally from No. XX, Gojomo Town, Minamiakita County, Akita Prefecture The eldest daughter of Ryotaro Itamoto and Sumi Sakamoto 〇March 16th, Showa 16th year for immigration declaration "what--" Dianzi looked at these words repeatedly. "It turns out that Mrs. Tian Cang's place of origin is correct." "Yes. Actually, I just received this copy from the post office yesterday. You went to Wuchengmu, and I will be on duty for you. It's a bit late to get it."

Long Fu scratched his head again. "However, you went to that place to find out about it. The people who live there don't know them now, which means that the Sakamoto family left there a long time ago, and the family is no longer there. Moreover, Ms. Liangzi's parents may have passed away, probably not. What kind of relatives are left. Ms. Ryoko now only has her younger brother Kozo." Dianzi nodded, thinking that was indeed the case. However, she didn't understand why Long Fu had to reconfirm the address of Tian Cang's wife's place of origin? "That's right."

Tatsuo said, "I'm a little skeptical about whether Tian Cang's wife's hometown is really where the luggage was shipped." "Then it occurred to you that maybe it was a disguise and that the real home was somewhere else?" "That's it." "What's the reason?" "The reason? The reason is..." Long Fu took out a cigarette, slowly put it to his mouth and lit it. "So far we don't know where she is. Because she has been missing for so long, I feel that her hometown is somewhere else, and she is living in seclusion there. That is to say, a woman suddenly disappeared for a long time and did not come back. It can only be at home. Only there can she settle down for so long."

Indeed, this is a reason. "However, after reading this transcript, isn't your assumption clearly denied? Ms. Liangzi doesn't have any other hometown. So, where is she hiding?" Long Fu showed a puzzled expression, while patting his forehead with his fingers, he continued to smoke his cigarette. "And my younger brother Kozo." "Yes, the young man who claimed to commit suicide." Long Fu muttered. Speaking of the young man who claimed to commit suicide, Dianzi suddenly remembered something. "Suicide is disgusting. When I came back from Akita, the train I was on ran over and killed a suicidal person. Because it was the train I was on, I felt very uncomfortable." Dianzi frowned, as if recalling the feeling at that time.

"Oh?" Long Fu lowered his hand from his forehead and stared at Dianzi's face. "Is that man a man? Or a woman?" "It's a woman!" Noriko wanted to laugh when he thought that Tatsuo also thought of Kozo Sakamoto. "The location is the Shiozawa area near Echigo. There are frequent accidents in that place. It is said that a female suicide died two years ago." "Hey, it's really detailed!" "Damn it! It was said by the locals sitting across from me at that time. Why did the woman who committed suicide become a wild ghost without even knowing her identity? What is her ghost calling new suicides? These words kept coming Getting it in my ears makes it hard for me to sleep."

Long Fu listened silently. Speaking of suicide, the topic of course turned to Asako Muratani. "I didn't expect her to commit suicide!" Dianzi expressed her feelings frankly.Some trivial memories of meeting A Shazi are always piling up in my mind like broken pieces of glass. "No one thought she would commit suicide. Because we are always in the position of bystanders, so we didn't observe deeply." After finishing speaking, Long Fu suddenly threw away the cigarette butt and stomped on it with his shoe. "Hi, Riko." He looked directly into Noriko's eyes.

"Do you understand? Why did Ms. Muratani Asako not specify her husband to take care of her funeral in her suicide note, but chose her brother instead?" Yes.Dianzi also felt difficult to understand this matter.She replied, "Could it be because you don't know the whereabouts of your husband?" "This is the first thing that should be thought of. Generally, the Liangwu family should be appointed to handle it. In addition, the elder brother should leave a will and let the two people be notified. If she doesn't count on the Liangwu family at all, what do you think will happen? "

"Ah, I really don't understand!" Dianzi evaded for a moment and did not answer directly. "That is to say, in this way, isn't Ms. Ashazi confirming Liang Wu's disappearance?" "confirm?" "Yes. For some reason, Ms. Ashazi knows that it is hopeless to find the whereabouts of Mr. Liangwu. Therefore, it is useless to designate Mr. Liangwu. Doesn't she think so?" Maybe so.Dianzi gradually understood Long Fu's words. "You are too honest to be unbearable, do you have any disagreement?" Ryuu said in a teasing tone while looking at Noriko's expression.

"No other disagreement. I just thought maybe so." Dianzi knew about Ms. Ashazi's search for Liangwu's whereabouts.When she was in Hakone, she also went to Odawara Station several times, asked which train he might take, and asked the railway for assistance.It can be considered that Ms. Ashazi was very persistent in finding her husband. At this time, Long Fu said: "But, I thought of another thing." "What's up?" "Ma'am roughly guessed Liangwu's whereabouts. Therefore, she didn't want to contact her. This is what I think." "Oh, you can talk in circles. What's going on?" "I don't quite get it now either. It's just an abstract idea." Long Fu crossed his fingers and made a sound when he moved his knuckles. However, for Dianzi, she could only feel that Long Fu must have further and deeper speculations. "Mr. Sakino, do you have any more ideas?" "No, that's all." "Lies, there must be more. I can tell by your expression." Long Fu laughed helplessly. "That's right. Then I have to tell you. Have you considered why Ms. Asako chose Lake Hamana as the place where she committed suicide?" "No, I haven't thought about it." Dianzi shook his head. "I thought about it. There is also a causal relationship between the place where the suicide chooses to commit suicide. For example, there is a place where the suicide has been, and the suicide left an impression on it. That place has a certain relationship with the suicide, and the place where the suicide Those who have long wanted to see..." "What? You mean it's a nice place?" "For suicides, the beautiful scenery is indeed attractive." Long Fu said with a serious expression. "Lake Hamana is very beautiful. Benten Island is a famous tourist attraction. At the same time, Kanzanji Temple is built on a peninsula stretching out into the lake. From there, the scenery is also very beautiful." "Sakino-kun!" Dianzi glared at him angrily. "No, I'm telling the truth. It is true that places with beautiful views are likely to be chosen by suicides as the place to end their lives. However, the beauty of the scenery alone does not explain the problem. If there is no kind of connection between the suicide and the place Without contact, it would be difficult for us to see the truth of the matter." Speaking of this, Long Fu sighed. "Hey, Toshiko, I thought about it. What are the places near Hamana Lake? First of all, Hamamatsu City. A little further from here is Shizuoka City. To the west of the lake, there are Toyohashi and Okazaki. , and then go straight ahead. Nagoya City is there. Among these cities, is there any relationship with Ms. Muratani Asako?" Dianzi thought for a while, and suddenly said loudly, "Ah, yes!" "Where is it?" "Toyohashi! Look, isn't the house of Muratani's maid in Toyohashi? I went there when I came back from Inuyama..." "That's right. The maid's name is Hiroko. The house of the maid who works in Muratani's house is in Toyohashi. Toyohashi and Lake Hamana are very close...but that's all I can think of. Or it may be two places that are not related to each other, or there may be a connecting line between the two. It is not clear yet. I only know that the distance between the two is very close." Long Fu thought about drinking the remaining cold coffee, so he reached out and drank it.
