Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Infatuated "Sasuke"

Kindaichi Kosuke said the name nonchalantly, he wanted to know how Chiyoko would react after hearing it. Unexpectedly, Feng Chiyoko didn't respond to the name. "Sasuke?" Feng Chiyoko muttered the name, looking at Kosuke Kindaichi blankly. After a while, she seemed to remember something, and looked at Kosuke Kindaichi with wide eyes. "You know this person?" "Well, could it be that person... Why did you suddenly mention this name?" When Feng Chiyoko noticed that Police Officer Hibino and Detective Kondo were looking at her intently, she realized that this matter was not trivial.

"Ms. Feng, if it's convenient, please tell us about this person. At present, we only know the pronunciation of 'Sasuke'." "Mr. Jin Tianyi, it's okay to tell you, this is not something ulterior. It's just that this person has been dead for many years. I don't know why he is brought up again at this time. Could it be that he is related to this murder case? ?” "No...Officer Hibino, let's explain what happened! Detective Kondo, please explain to Ms. Feng how you discovered this name." "Okay, since I've been named, I'm not going to be polite."

Next, Detective Kondo blinked his cunning eyes, and sang and sang beautifully, telling the process of discovering the name "Sasuke" from beginning to end. "Mr. Kindaichi, is this okay?" "It's very detailed. When you don't want to be a policeman one day, you can change your career to be a teacher. This is off-topic, sorry." When Feng Chiyoko listened to Detective Kondo's explanation, the expression on her face changed quite a lot.At first she looked very shocked, puzzled and confused, and then she showed a flushed face with anger; after the anger subsided, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After Detective Kondo finished speaking, Feng Chiyoko's mood also returned to calm. "This is Di Xiaolu's last word. He seems to want to express something. What I want to ask you now is how to write this person's name?" "This person's name is 'Sarutobi Sasuke', but this is only an anonymous name, not his real name." "The relationship between him and Di Xiaolu is..." "When I heard this name, my intuitive reaction was that Di Xiaolu must have suddenly thought of this person recently! However, after I heard the Kondo detective explain the whole incident, I thought it should be this person. I can't forget it anyway, so I'm very embarrassed, I lost control of my emotions in front of everyone, I'm really sorry... Zhongxi, you must listen to it, it has something to do with something when I was young, when I was young and energetic, And very conceited."

"Thank you for this opportunity, I think it must be very interesting." "It's more sad than funny..." After Feng Chiyoko adjusted her emotions, she talked about the past with a half-smile. "I don't know if Mr. Kindaichi is also aware of this. I entered the entertainment industry in Showa 15. I was 16 years old at the time. The company I belonged to was Toyo Film Company. The studio was in Kyoto. There was a company called 'Senka' there. The vegetarian restaurant has been booming until now.” "'Chika'? I know this vegetarian restaurant, it's Chika Takamatsu's house."

"Zhongxi, do you know that aunt too?" "I know, because she is a very famous woman in Kyoto, but why do you call her Auntie?" "When my mother made her fortune in Shinbashi, Aunt Qianjia called my mother 'big sister'. Because of this relationship, I lived in 'Qianjia' when I entered Dongyang, but..." "Ms. Feng, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, please allow me to say something very rude." Kindaichi Kosuke said seriously. "Whether you know someone named Kosuke Kindaichi or not, what I'm saying is...I haven't missed every movie you've made since you debuted. Your debut was 'The Young Master and the Daughter', right? "

"what!" A blush appeared on Feng Yudaizi's face, and Asuka Zhongxi couldn't help laughing out loud. "Haha... Mr. Kindaichi, so you are Chiyoko's fan!" "Well, I'm really sorry, but I'm like the president of Chiyoko Kazeko's support club. Her second work is 'Beautiful Youth', her third work is 'Messenger from the Starry Sky', and in the flute I've seen all of the work 'The Temptation of Angels' before Xiaolu's murder." "Hearing you say that, I feel embarrassed." Feng Chiyoko said with a blushing face.

Others thought that Kosuke Kindaichi was going to ask a very serious question, but he unexpectedly raised a topic that had nothing to do with the case. "Actually, I am also an admirer of your father. Because you are his daughter, I naturally became a fan of your movie. Whenever there is a report on you in the newspaper, I will pay special attention to it, which is why I know a lot about you. I heard that it was because Lingtang studied painting that he got to know your father—Mr. Qianjing.” "Yes, my mother studied painting with my father." "Lingtang's title on the painting is 'Ge Hong'."

"You know that very well! My mother's real name is Utako." "Those things happened in the 1930s of the Showa era. I was investigating some things at that time, so I remember very clearly that a department store in Ginza once exhibited Mr. Chikage's posthumous works." "Have you seen those works?" "At that time, it was the third time I appreciated your father's masterpiece 'Firefly'. It was one of the works that spanned the three periods of Meiji, Taisho, and Showa. Mr. Chikage's best colors were vermilion and blue. By the way, I heard that the songs of the time Ms. Hong also has works on display.”

"Yes, they are all sketches." "This was my personal negligence. I didn't know until I read the newspaper that Ms. Ge Hong's work was a portrait of a beautiful woman." "Yes, they are all works that cannot be seen in big scenes." "Chiyoko, was the work published by Ms. Ge Hong at that time 'Dancing Fan'?" "Huh? Why do you even know..." "Ms. Ge Hong's works are definitely not works that can't be seen in big scenes. She draws very well! Mr. Kindaichi, Ms. Ge Hong was a talented woman at that time." Asuka Zhongxi finally realized that this was a trap deliberately set by Kosuke Kindaichi.

But traps belong to traps, he still smiled and played a game of tricks and tricks with the other party. "If you want to appreciate Ms. Gehong's works, you may wish to visit my residence in Tokyo. In addition to the 'Dancing Fan' you mentioned just now, I also have a collection of paintings of 'Showa Customs·Twelve States of Beauty'." Feng Chiyoko looked at Asuka Zhongxi in amazement, she breathed heavily and said: "Those paintings are in your house?" "I just collected them recently. The 'fireflies' mentioned by Mr. Kindaichi just now are also in my collection." "This, this is really great... Great! Mr. Asuka, if you have a chance, please let me have a look at your collection. I heard that most people comment on 'Dancing Fan' that the colors are very beautiful." "The same is true for 'The Twelve States of Beauty'; there are rumors that Ms. Ge Hong's works all have the authentic works of Mr. Qianjing. In fact, this is not correct. Take the picture posts as an example, it can be said to be the customs of women in Showa. You can even see women with short hair cut to the ear, permed hair, or the dress of peasant women during the war, etc. Mr. Qianjing may have seen the appearance of women with permed hair, but Mr. Qianjing should not know the dress of peasant women during the war... In the painting There is a little girl dressed as a peasant woman, and the colors are used very beautifully." "I see. Next time you go back to Tokyo, please let me feast your eyes." Kosuke Kindaichi realized that he had deviated from the subject when he said this, and he glanced at everyone in embarrassment. "Oh! Kazuhiko, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Kazuhiko Murakami was startled, then grinned and said: "Mr. Kindaichi, you are really amazing." "What's the big deal?" "You know it all, you know it all, it's terrifying." "Kazuhiko, in this case, you should say that Mr. Kindaichi is a learned man. Alas! The recent young people can't even speak Japanese well. It's really troublesome." Kindaichi Kosuke quickly turned his head and said to Feng Chiyoko: "Ms. Feng, please continue! You just said that Lingtang and the proprietress of "Qianjia" in Kyoto are good friends, Takamatsu Chika, and because of this reason, you used to live in "Qianjia". I interrupted your conversation just now. Excuse me, please continue from here." "Okay, then..." Asuka Zhongxi noticed that the attitudes of Kindaichi Kosuke and Murakami Kazuhiko were a bit "weird". As for the "tacit understanding" between the two of them, it was beyond Asuka Zhongxi or Feng Chiyoko's understanding. "Aunt Takamatsu has a son named Hekichi. He was ten or twenty-one years old at the time, and he was the 'Sasuke' you just mentioned." "Is he called 'Tsurukichi-kun Ninjutsu'?" "It's not that Sasuke. Mr. Kindaichi, may I ask if you have read Mr. Tanizaki's 'Harukinho'?" "'Chunqin Chao'? I've read it, but..." "I heard that it was published in Showa 8, and the title of the movie after it was made is 'Kin and Sasuke'. The 'Sasuke' I'm talking about is this Sasuke." Asuka Zhongxi smiled and said: "So, aren't you that 'Chunqin'?" "That's right... Tsurukichi is a preparatory student at a certain university in Kyoto. He is very kind to me and takes good care of me; before leaving school, he has already entered a film company as an assistant, just like my follower. I don't want to Explain, because at the time I didn't quite understand why he did this, and I didn't even understand why Heji gave himself the nickname of "Wisuke". "I hadn't read 'Harukoto' at that time, and 'Koto and Sasuke' was released before I joined the film company... I watched that movie later and realized that in the film industry, Anyone who follows others is called 'Sasuke'." "Aren't you like Harukin, very cruel to Sasuke?" "Yes. Mr. Kindaichi, I am an only child. I have been very self-willed since I was a child. If I don't like it, I will lose my temper. However, most of the people around me are my seniors, so Tsurukichi will naturally become my punching bag. ; whenever I was upset, I would yell and curse at Heji." "Even if you treat Heji like this, is he still very happy?" "It's true in the eyes of others, but I don't understand it myself. I only think of him as my elder brother, a good man with no temper, so I often act willfully towards him." "Ms. Feng, are you and that Sasuke really the same as Chunqin and Sasuke in 'Chunqin Chao'?" "Mr. Kindaichi, that's not the case." "But, does Mr. Dixiaolu suspect you two?" "I look back on it now with great regret." "If you don't mind, I want to ask you a question." "I think you'd better listen to me first." Feng Chiyoko adjusted her sitting posture and said: "The Pearl Harbor Incident broke out in December of the 16th year of the Showa era. In the spring of the following year, Heji received a summons; because Heji dropped out of school, some of our friends decided to hold a farewell party for him. After the farewell party, we four or five I personally met to go for a walk in Yuanshan Park. The night cherry blossoms in Yuanshan are really beautiful. Heji and I did not walk with other people. We came to a dark place in the corner of the park. Suddenly, Heji said he wanted to kiss Me." "Is this a memory of your life?" "you could put it that way." "Did you let him kiss you?" Asuka Zhongxi said softly. "Yeah! At that time, Tsurukichi was very preoccupied... By the way, he also said to me; 'Maybe this is the last time I see Ye Ying from Yuanshan.' When I heard him say that, I couldn't help crying I got up because I thought I might never see this brother again." "Did Mr. Dixiaolu see you?" "I didn't notice it at the time. Later, Di Xiaolu mentioned this matter to me, but I don't think Di Xiaolu would be jealous because of it. On the one hand, Heji is not a standard man who has everything. On the other hand, Di Xiaolu treats himself I'm quite confident... It's just that everyone has long believed that we are a couple. As far as the man's face is concerned, he probably feels ashamed, and at that time, Di Xiaolu and I were just rumored boyfriend and girlfriend, so we and another Whether a man kisses or not is entirely my business." "When were you with Mr. Dixiaolu?" "That happened in September of the 17th year of the Showa era. After that incident, Di Xiaolu began to pursue me urgently. At that time, the film industry was in a downturn, and I wanted to give up. Di Xiaolu said he didn't want to act either. That’s why we made amazing moves.” "Has Mr. Fue Koji also received a summoning order?" "He received the summoning order in October of the eighteenth year of the Showa era. At that time, I was five months pregnant with Misa, so we asked Di Xiaolu's mother to let me be a part of their family, but Mr. Kindaichi...why did Di Xiaolu come here? Do you think about Heji at this time? After the war, Di Xiaolu and I maintained a married life for a year, during that period we didn’t mention Heji, and almost forgot the existence of that person.” "You mean to say that before Di Xiaolu's death, he called you to ask for a meeting about Tsurukichi, and Mr. Tsumura found out about it?" "Impossible! Tsumura doesn't know about Tsurukichi. I haven't been with Tsurukichi for a long time. Only a few people know about it." "Why didn't Mr. Fuekoji write Takamatsu or Tsurukichi, but why did he write the name 'Sasuke'?" "Maybe he forgot Tsurukichi's real name! We all call him Tsurukichi Sasuke. To Fuekoji, Tsurukichi is just a clown character, not to mention that 'Qianjia' was still a very humble shop at that time..." "What happened to 'Qian Jia'?" "Because I did something that corrupted customs, my aunt was very angry and said that she would sever ties with me, so Heji would drop out of school for me. Later, my aunt received a letter from Heji from the front line. In the letter, he It read: 'I asked Chiyoko to give me a kiss before I left. The main purpose of writing this letter now is to say thank you to her.' "My aunt let me read the letter. At that time, Heji must have died in the battle! Heji said: 'Since he will die, it is the same whether he stops studying or not.' So he is very grateful to me for agreeing to his last offer. Please. Heji is the only son of my aunt, so my aunt still loves me very much. Whenever I go to Kyoto, I will go to Heji’s tomb with my aunt to pay homage... Just for this reason, I put Heji’s name and this It’s really incomprehensible that things are tied together.” In Feng Chiyoko's plain statement, it was difficult to hide a trace of anger and regret. Then, Police Officer Hibino asked a question: "Did Heji die in battle?" "Yes, he died in battle on Guadalcanal Island in the South Pacific. My aunt has received bad news from the army, but the bones have never been brought back." "There are many people who we thought died on the battlefield, but in fact they are still living in this world, so is it possible that Heji is not dead, but also came here?" "How is this possible!" Detective Kondo echoed from the side: "This kind of thing is possible. Will Heji want to kill all the men related to you, that is, all your ex-husbands?" "Hehehe, Mr. Interpol, your imagination is too rich!" Feng Chiyoko himself didn't say anything, but Sakurai Tetsuo on the side expressed his opinion: "So, this Sasuke... his target is Mr. Dikoji's villa? Or this villa?" "Sakurai-san, what do you mean by that?" Officer Hibino asked in displeasure. "Officer Hibino, Grandma Di Xiaolu said that when she came home today, she saw a strange person running out of their villa. Akiyama also said that he saw a person with the same costume appearing near this villa, and he even chased that person. What! When grandma came here in the evening, that man ran out from the low wall next to him again." "What kind of person is that?" "Both of them said that the man was dressed in black from head to toe, with a peaked cap on his head, a pair of black sunglasses on his face, and black gloves on his hands, like the most popular killer outfit nowadays... What's wrong?" Police Officer Hibino and Detective Kondo both stood up when they heard the words, and Tetsuo Sakurai realized that something was wrong. "Mr. Kindaichi, could it be Mr. Tsumura?" "It must be so. Mr. Tsumura's target is Misa." Detective Kondo said angrily. "Mr. Kindaichi, what happened to Mr. Tsumura?" Kazuhiko Murakami, who was always calm, couldn't help asking. Kosuke Kindaichi sat on the big wicker chair, scratched his head in confusion and said: "Mr. Tsumura has disappeared since last night, and his attire is the same as the killer attire that Mr. Sakurai just mentioned." "But, Mr. Kindaichi, why would Tsumura be against Misa?" Although the two investigators were very aggressive, Feng Chiyoko still protested without fear. Detective Kondo replied aloud: "Miss Meisa knows something inside. She caught Mr. Tsumura's pigtails, so before she said it, Mr. Tsumura wanted to kill someone..." Detective Kondo was halfway through speaking, and found that Xizi was pale and trembling all over, so he stopped talking. Asuka Zhongxi walked to the phone without saying a word, and he asked Duoqi to connect the phone to Dixiaolu's villa. "Hey, Misa, I'm Uncle Asuka. Is Akiyama back...then ask him to answer the phone." Soon, Takuzo Akiyama picked up the microphone. "Qiu Shan, what are you doing over there? They are entertaining you for dinner... This is just right, you can stay there for a while, and the police will send more people to protect them... Now it is not convenient for me to tell you why. Remember, Qian Don't let Meisha and Mrs. Duzi frighten you...Okay, then I will trouble you." As soon as Tadashi Asuka hung up the phone, Police Officer Hibino went to the phone and called to order personnel to strictly protect the Fuekoji Villa and "Mansan Villa" in Sakurazawa.In an instant, there was a commotion in the living room of "Wanshanzhuang". Thanks to the rapid mobilization of the police, that night was spent peacefully. However, the critical moment came at dawn on August 15th...
