Chapter 28 Chapter 28: Behind the Scenes

The villa of Fute Koji's family was built facing the Mizusawa. Not far from the main building of the villa, there was a tea room about three meters lower than the main building, which was built adjacent to the Mizusawa under the cliff. When the typhoon hit yesterday morning, the tea room was flooded, but because the floor was raised about two meters, only the bed was submerged in water.Now the stagnant water has receded, but the sound of running water is louder than usual. This can be said to be the dream palace of Fuekoji Atsuko. When she is tired of educating Misa and wants to avoid the criticism of the world, she always locks herself in this small space and drinks a cup of hot tea quietly by herself. , Rethink your next step.

The war made Di Xiaolu Atsuko fall from a high-ranking aristocratic life that was enough to show off to the world, and suddenly fell into a civilian life; she used to shoulder the glory of a viscount, and instantly made her a laughing stock of the world. The situation before the war was good. The title of Viscount at least made Di Xiaolu Taijiu look good for a while. The family had a bit of status in the same clan, and everything they did was always going to be disadvantageous.But after the war, the cruel reality mercilessly took all the luck away from Atsuko Dixiaolu. Dixiaolu Atsuko doesn't have any affection for Dixiaolu Taijiu, and Dixiaolu Taijiu treats Atsuko with contempt.If Atsuko still has a little affection for Di Xiaolu Taijiu, it is because Di Xiaolu Taijiu still has value to her.

The only thing he left for Atsuko is Misa. Even though Misa is young, she has a strong backer behind her - Feng Chiyoko. For this reason, Atsuko, who has always regarded herself highly, must live a life of pain, perseverance and humiliation, which is why she needs the "Dream Palace". At about twelve o'clock in the evening on August 15th, Showa 35, the area around Sakurazawa began to be shrouded in thick fog again, and the teahouse beside Mizusawa shrouded in strong lights from the fog. There are windows with reed grass curtains on both sides of the tea room, and a fluorescent lamp hangs from the ceiling of the room that is less than four and a half stacks in size. Two women are sitting under the bright light.

Atsuko Fuekoji sat leaning against a screen in front of the charcoal stove. She was wearing Ojiya's kimono, with a Hakata sash tied around her waist, and a piece of furosha for making tea was sandwiched between the left sash. ①A small square towel for tea ceremony. There is a teapot on top of the charcoal stove, which is making a creaking sound of steam. A little far away from the charcoal stove, I saw Feng Chiyoko wearing a western dress, sitting gracefully on the tatami mat, her face was very stiff, as if she was very afraid of Atsuko's words and deeds. Feng Chiyoko looked quite tired. When Asuka Zhongxi was undergoing the operation, she had been waiting outside the operating room, her hands were constantly sweating.After a series of murders, Asuka Zhongxi encountered an accidental shooting incident, which was indeed a considerable blow to Feng Chiyoko.

Although Kazuhiko Murakami and Xizi were there to comfort and encourage her, what really supported Chiyoko Kaze was her own extraordinary endurance, and she even comforted Asuka Zhongxi in turn. For Asuka Zhongxi, when the shooting happened, all those who cared about him were around him. Although there was a lot of bleeding, there happened to be two suitable blood transfusion donors at the scene. His luck is really great. The extracted bullets were identified and determined to have been fired from a Colt .22 caliber automatic pistol. After the operation, Feng Chiyoko, Xizi and Murakami Kazuhiko entered the ward to visit Asuka Zhongxi.

The first sentence he spoke was to ask about the safety of Akiyama Takuzo, which made Feng Chiyoko a little tasteless, but she also realized the deep friendship between Asuka Takashi and Akiyama Takuzo.She felt a little guilty for Akiyama Takuzo who put his life at risk in order to hunt down the murderer. "Uncle Qiushan will be fine. If you are worried, I will go to him later." Asuka Zhongxi nodded silently. Later, Xizi showed the lighter to Asuka Zhongxi. He just laughed and said: "Bring it to Mr. Kindaichi." Xizi understood what her father meant, she held Asuka Zhongxi's hand tightly, and then walked out of the ward without saying a word.

After that, Chang Yingming also came to visit Asuka Zhongxi. Asuka Zhongxi said to Chang Yingming: "I owe the professor two favors!" After a while, the doctor reminded everyone to go out, only Feng Chiyoko stayed. Asuka Tadashi fell into a deep sleep all of a sudden, and he was still holding Fuchiyoko's hand tightly when he fell asleep. Around ten o'clock, Xizi came back from somewhere and talked with Sakurai Tetsuo in a ward of the hospital.During Xizi's speech, Sakurai Tetsuo laughed out loud more than once, for which Xizi pouted several times in protest, but in the end even she couldn't help laughing.

The two discussed to the end, Sakurai Tetsuo seemed to admit defeat. "Hey, what do you want to say to Mr. Kindaichi?" "It's all right, as long as he is willing to listen." "In this case, you can just say no... Or are you hiding something?" "This matter is very important. Well, I'm going." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to change shifts with Aunt Feng. If she goes on like this, her body will not be able to take it anymore!" When Xizi came to the door of the hospital, Di Xiaolu Atsuko happened to call Feng Chiyoko, and the nurse told Xizi about it.

So Xizi said to the nurse: "Ah! I'm planning to change shifts with her, so... I'll ask Aunt Feng to answer the phone, so you don't have to make this trip." "That's really a big thank you." A few minutes later, Feng Chiyoko answered the phone, returned to the ward and said: "Grandma wants to tell me something about Meisa, I'll go out for a while." Xizi was a little surprised, but she still said as if nothing had happened: "Well...Okay, leave it to me to take care of here! But please come back as soon as possible, because when Dad wakes up later, if he can't see you, he will be very sad. "

"Thank you, I'll be back as soon as possible." Looking at the back of Fuchiyoko leaving, Xizi felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason. As soon as Feng Chiyoko walked out of the hospital, she immediately went back to the hotel to change, and then sat face to face with Di Xiaolu Atsuko in her current outfit. "Just now you said on the phone that Mr. Asuka is alright?" "Yes, thanks to everyone." "People with good luck are indeed different from ordinary people. Despite this, terrible things still happen one after another. What's going on?" "Mom...you just said what happened to Meisha? Is she asleep?"

"Ah! Misako..." Feng Chiyoko was extremely disturbed by the expression of Atsuko Fuekoji squinting at people. (Speaking of which... the expressions of Xizi and Kazuhiko just now were a bit weird.) "Mom, what happened on the golf course today? Did Mesa tell you anything?" "No, she didn't say anything." Di Xiaolu Atsuko said vaguely, she stared at Feng Chiyoko and asked: "Chiyoko, are you planning to marry Mr. Asuka? I have something to tell you." "Yes...it should be like this." Feng Chiyoko replied timidly. "Have you already talked about it?" "yes." "It's all very clear?" "Well, as long as he formally proposes to me, I think there should be no problem." "You will definitely accept his marriage proposal!" "Yes, I will agree to his marriage proposal." "That's great! I wish you the best of luck." There was a weird smile on the corner of Di Xiaolu Atsuko's mouth, and Feng Chiyoko felt very uneasy seeing it. "By the way, I want to talk to you about Mesa...I think you've been tired all day, so let's have some tea first! I made this myself." "thank you." "It's late at night, so let's drink lightly!" Atsuko Dikoji's attitude was very calm. She scooped a spoonful of tea from a delicate tea pot and put it into a tea bowl, then scooped water into the teapot with a ladle, stirred it slowly and poured the tea into the tea bowl. Then, she gently rinsed the tea juice with a tea brush to make thin tea. She handed Hochiyoko a teacup made of Shigara. Feng Chiyoko took a step forward, and when he was about to take the tea bowl from Di Xiaolu Atsuko's hand, there was a sudden shout from outside the curtain of reed grass: "Don't drink it! Aunt Feng, you can't drink that bowl of tea!" Feng Chiyoko was surprised and hurriedly withdrew her hands, at the same time, Di Xiaolu Atsuko also quickly withdrew her hands, holding the teacup tightly. Suddenly, the sinister expression on Di Xiaolu's face made Feng Chiyoko unforgettable forever. "Aunt Feng, it's me, Sakurai Tetsuo. Xizi was worried about you and asked me to follow you quietly. Maybe I couldn't see it from your perspective, but I saw Grandma Dixiaolu put the same tea before making tea. The things are put in the teacup." Sakurai Tetsuo's voice trembled with anger, while Hochiyoko screamed in fright, and hurriedly retreated to a corner of the tea room. This tea room is about three meters lower than the main hall, and it is also built under the cliff. Previously, Atsuko Dixiaoji used the topography of this cliff to build a natural ladder, but due to the heavy humidity in this area, moss tends to grow on the ladder. If you are careful, you will fall, so Atsuko specially ordered an iron escalator. Feng Chiyoko also came down the iron escalator just now. The reason why Xiao Duzi chose to meet her in this tea room was because he did not want to be disturbed by the outside world. "Aunt Feng, stay away from grandma, I don't know what she will do later, maybe she has something like a knife on her." Judging from Dixiaolu Atsuko's frightening expression, there is indeed this possibility. Just when Tetsuo Sakurai couldn't find a place to jump down, several figures appeared in the thick fog and rushed towards him. "Who's there?" It was the voice of Police Officer Hibino. At the same time, several flashlights circled Sakurai Tetsuo in the light. "Aren't you Sakurai Tetsuo? Why are you here?" Kosuke Kindaichi walked towards Tetsuo Sakurai, and next to him were Police Officers such as Waitori and Yamashita.Police Officer Hibino and Detective Kondo held flashlights in their hands. Besides Detective Furukawa, there were two plainclothes detectives behind them. "Mr. Kindaichi, you have come at the right time. In fact, now..." Sakurai Tetsuo briefly told everyone what happened just now. Detective Kondo couldn't help yelling "animal" after hearing this. Just as Detective Kondo was about to jump down, a sharp shout came from the tea room: "No! Don't let anyone come down! If anyone comes down, I'll drink this bowl of tea." Atsuko Dixiaolu was talking hysterically, her expression was not as murderous as before. Kosuke Kaneda looked down from the cliff, and saw Atsuko Futekoji sitting in front of the charcoal stove, holding a bowl of tea in both hands. "Mr. Kondo, wait a while before going down. Ms. Feng, are you okay?" "Mr. Kindaichi, I'm fine, but... what's going on here?" Feng Chiyoko had regained her composure, she opened the reed grass curtain and walked to the porch outside the house. When she was about to speak, Kindaichi Kosuke said first: "Don't talk yet, let me talk to Mrs. Atsuko, and then you can tell Mr. Asuka about our conversation, do you understand what I mean?" "It is good" Feng Chiyoko's face turned pale, and her whole body was trembling. Then, Kindaichi Kosuke said loudly: "Mrs. Duzi, whose child is Meisha? Ms. Feng, don't open your mouth. This is the problem... Mrs. Duzi, whose child is Meisha?" "Mr. Kindaichi, do you need to say that? Of course it is the child of Yasuhisa and Chiyoko." Atsuko Dixiaolu held the teacup and smiled. "No, no, Ms. Feng's blood type is A, and Mr. Futekoji's is O, but Misa's blood type is B. It is impossible for a type O man and a type A woman to have a type B child." "Mr. Kindaichi!" Di Xiaolu Atsuko glanced at the panicked Feng Chiyoko, and said with a terrible smile on the corner of his mouth: "Hehe...Mr. Kindaichi, if what you said is true, Misa must be the illegitimate child of this woman with a man outside, hmph! It's really shameless, I don't know anything about it." "This, this...how could...how could this be?" Seeing that Chiyoko Fuze was about to go crazy, Kosuke Kindaichi hurriedly stopped him: "Ms. Feng, don't talk, the problem is next. Mrs. Atsuko, Mr. Akutsu also has the same question as you. He only found out about it when he was transfusing blood for Mesa. Although Ms. Feng has been married and divorced several times , but her response was very aboveboard, without any pretense, which is why Ms. Feng has always been loved by the audience; despite this, Mr. Ajiuzu must have felt cheated, so he divorced Ms. Feng without saying a word." To Hochiyoko, this was quite a shocking event. At the same time, she was also thinking, if Misa wasn't Fuekoji Yasuhisa's child, then whose child would it be? Hochiyoko looked at Atsuko Fuekoji with a serious expression, and saw that she was still holding the Shigara teacup. "Mr. Tsumura soon learned of Misa's secret from Mr. Akutsu. He probably filed for divorce with Ms. Feng for the same reason! Mr. Tsumura, who is kind but not careful enough, on the afternoon of August 15th last year, He actually told Mr. Futekoji all the secrets of Misa's birth. Mr. Futekoji intuitively reflected that Misa's father was Takamatsu Tsurukichi who once admired Ms. Feng. There was a huge gap in time, and he wanted to use this to blackmail Ms. Feng and Mr. Asuka, but the other party ignored him, so he ran to this villa and violated Meisha who was alone at home at that time..." Feng Chiyoko who was standing by the window couldn't help screaming when she heard this. I don't know if Atsuko Fuekoji knew about this, but when Kindaichi Kosuke told this horrific inside story, she was trembling violently, and even the eyes she cast on Kindaichi Kosuke were full of hatred and disgust. "Although all of this was caused by drunkenness, Mr. Dikoji's behavior really hurt Meisha's young heart. She always regarded Mr. Dikoji as her father, but now she was cursed by this man as an illegitimate child, and even treated her as an illegitimate child." At this moment, Misa lost her rationality. She followed Mr. Fuekoji very skillfully to lure him to the pool, and made the drunk Mr. Fuekoji mistake him for the pool It's a hot spring, when the other party takes off all his clothes and only a pair of underwear is left, push him into the pool..." This part is where Kosuke Kindaichi's reasoning evidence is weakest, but he doesn't care about it, because deception is also a necessary method in handling cases. Although Police Officer Hibino and Detective Kondo had known about this for a long time, they couldn't help showing surprise on their faces when they heard Kosuke Kindaichi's clear analysis. It was the first time for Feng Chiyoko to hear such a horrific event today. She relied on the support of the window to keep from passing out; while Sakurai Tetsuo standing in the thick fog couldn't help trembling all over. Kindaichi Kosuke deliberately told this incident To Tetsuo Sakurai. "I don't know if Misa had murderous intentions at the time. Even if she suddenly had murderous intentions, it would not be surprising, because the father-daughter relationship between Mr. Fuekoji and Misa has become the strongest cover for Misa; and what happened before Mr. Ajiujin's accident put her in a more favorable position. We usually think that two cases of violent death must be committed by the same murderer, but... Mr. Ajiujin's death should be regarded as a traffic accident. !" Kosuke Kindaichi paused for a while when he said this, paying attention to the reaction of Atsuko Fuekoji after hearing his words. But Dixiaolu Atsuko remained expressionless, and her expression became more and more gloomy. "Mrs. Atsuko, I believe you must be quite familiar with this matter, and you have been guarding Meisha very fearfully, and Meisha must have been troubled by the secret of her birth, and maybe she once asked you for confirmation of this matter." , but your answer can't satisfy her, but Meisha can't ask Ms. Feng, because doing so may expose her crime. "Just like that, Misa waited for a year. Mr. Futekoji may have told Misa that he had heard this secret from Mr. Tsumura before invading Misa, so Misa thought that Mr. Tsumura or Mr. Shen must also know the secret." The fog thickened as the night wore on.Thick fog has been covering several dark figures on the cliff, as well as the tea room under the cliff. "The day before yesterday... It should be said that the night before yesterday, Misa did not know how to trick Mr. Shen to Mr. Tsumura's villa in Asama Yin. Anyway, Mr. Shen drove to Asama Yin during a power outage, and Mr. Tsumura was not at home at the time. , Meisa lit a candle and waited for Mr. Shen to arrive. Since Mr. Shen had met Mr. Tsumura with Misa that day, it was not surprising to Mr. Shen that she would appear in Mr. Tsumura's villa. "Mr. Shen revealed the secret of her birth under Misa's questioning. Misha thought that Mr. Akutsu and Mr. Tsumura must also know about it. Mr. Shen is a painter and is very sensitive to colors. He may have noticed that Misa is red and green. Color blindness. Madam Atsuko, Misa must be color blind!" When Kosuke Kindaichi mentioned this part, he didn't deliberately emphasize this matter, but Chiyoko Feng who was standing by the window was still trembling all over. Now, she knew that it was Atsuko Di Xiaolu who concealed the important secret that caused a series of murders, so she couldn't help but stare at her with disgust. Atsuko Dixiaolu still had a smile on her face, sitting in the same place calmly. "Mr. Shen must have worked hard to study the knowledge of color blindness. He learned that 5% of men and only 0.5% of women suffer from red-green color blindness, so he used green and red matches. stick and illustrate the family tree of a colorblind family with four different symbols. "Mr. Shen must also know that color blindness will appear in grandchildren through daughters, so as long as a daughter has the genetic gene for color blindness, she will pass the color blindness gene to her sons and grandchildren, but the daughter herself will not have the characteristics of color blindness; unless one The daughter of a man with color blindness and a woman with the genetic gene for color blindness will have the characteristics of color blindness." Feng Chiyoko couldn't hold on anymore, she fully understood the truth that Kosuke Kindaichi was about to tell. She slumped down on the porch, breathing heavily while staring at Atsuko Fuekoji, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred that she had never seen before. "I think Meisha should also know about this. Ms. Feng does not have the genetic gene for color blindness. Why? Because her father, Mr. Feng Qianjing, is a beautiful painter who is good at using gorgeous colors. He is definitely not color blind. Even if Ms. Feng herself has He has a genetic gene for color blindness, and Mr. Dikoji also holds a driver's license. Most people must pass the color blindness test before obtaining a driver's license, so he is not a color blind patient. However, Meisha is color blind. From this point, it can be seen that Meisha Not Mr. Dixiaolu's child, nor Ms. Feng's daughter." Kindaichi Kosuke's words were like a merciless thunderbolt hitting Hōchiyoko's head.
