Chapter 10 second quarter

May 25th. Qing Cun Yishou boarded a small boat. This boat departing from Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture is a regular boat bound for Mijima Island.Mishima Island is located about fifty kilometers away in the Sea of ​​Japan.It is under the jurisdiction of Hagi City. Qing Cun was thinking about the case in the bumpy boat. The whereabouts of Morimoto inspector of the Hyogo prefectural police are unknown.His disappearance did not seem to have much impact on Hokkaido Prosecutor Tatsuno Prosecutor, Hokkaido Prosecutor Suzuki Prosecutor, and Kobe's family lawyer. After Inspector Morimoto disappeared, there was no progress in the detection work.However, the news reporting circles were overwhelmed by it, and it was regarded as an epoch-making event, and a battle for material was launched.

The prosecutor's office has remained silent.At the beginning, when Inspector Shimada was being killed, he made a statement in the name of the Attorney General.The conversation said that this is a challenge to the prosecutor's office and a serious crisis in the judiciary, and called for all efforts to catch the murderer. However, after Prosecutor Hiraizumi was killed, the heads of the prosecutor's office suddenly became uncharacteristically silent. The police asked the prosecutor's office to assist in the prosecution, but they did not receive a response. The Prosecutor's Office also kept silent about Morimoto's disappearance, and only issued a notice saying that the missing Morimoto would be dealt with according to the prosecutor's duties.

The police also remained silent. Although Morimoto's traces were investigated in many ways, there were no clues. The Kagoshima prefectural police and the Fukuoka prefectural police asked Tatsuno Nagashige, Suzuki Seiji, and Jia Zhengqing about the situation together.All three answered that they did not know why Shimada and Hiraizumi were killed. While there are reasons to suspect these three individuals, arrests cannot be made without warrant.Moreover, the three were on the side of the victim.If they insist on keeping silent, there is nothing they can do. The prosecutor's office has the right to forcibly search, but the prosecutor's office has pushed all the cases to the police who only have the right to search for the first time.

The police department is in trouble, and the relevant parties have repeatedly urged the two county police to close the case as soon as possible. Naturally, the two county police cannot neglect it.Many scouts are still digging into Shimada and Hiraizumi's past. However, they didn't see a glimmer of light. Qingcun's face became thinner day by day, filled with deep distress. On the day he returned from Iki, he commissioned the prefectures of Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Yamaguchi to investigate whether the drifting bodies of the mother and daughter who disappeared from Iki Nishikai House were found during the period from early to late August 16 years ago.

Qing Cun concluded that the lost mother and daughter were killed.The mother and daughter requested to board the Sea Ridge, which was leaving port in the storm.Then something happened on the Sea Ridge.This included the possibility of killing the mother and daughter and throwing them into the sea. Other than that, there is no more plausible explanation. Hagi City and Nagasaki City received an echo, saying that there was a drifting corpse in mid-August and late August 16 years ago. A middle-aged woman was also unable to be identified due to the decomposing body.Both bodies were buried in unsacrificed graves.

After receiving the news, Qingcun set off.Was that middle-aged woman the mother who disappeared in Iki summer sixteen years ago?It is too early to jump to conclusions.Still, he set off.Investigative work should not be too much trouble. He has to go. Qing Cun thinks that the dead body of the middle-aged woman may be the mother.After he returned from Iki, he learned from investigating the trial activities related to five prosecutors and a lawyer that on August 7, 16 years ago, Hiraizumi attended a public trial at the Kagawa District Court. A theft and homicide case, and found out from the weather data that two days before the public trial, there was a low pressure passing in the northwest of Jiuzhou.

Facts confirmed Qingcun's speculation. Kiyomura looked at the sea where the Tsushima Warm Current passed, his eyes became serious. There are two villages on the island, one is called Honcun and the other is called Yujin. When Qingcun arrived at the village, it was almost evening. Sixteen years ago, on August 18th, a decomposed middle-aged female corpse was washed to the shore of the village by the waves.The village office is responsible for disposing of the dead bodies. Qing Cun visited the village office. The village head received Qingcun.The village chief is Fujii, a man in his fifties.Sixteen years ago, he was not the head of the village, and he did not remember the drifting corpse.Generally, the drifting corpses are checked by the resident police and doctors.Immediately after the autopsy, it was transported to a cemetery where there were no sacrifices.It was the servants of the village office who buried the corpses.

Fujii helped to understand the person who handled the dead body sixteen years ago.As a result, the police and doctors at that time are no longer alive.He said that Jin Tian, ​​who had resigned from the village office, might know something about it. Qing Cun visited Jintian. Jin Tian lives in a seaside net drying place and is a fisherman in his early sixties. "Remember this." When Jintian answered Qingcun's question, his golden teeth gleamed.His tanned face was lined with wrinkles. The reason why Jintian remembered this was because it was the first and last time for him to deal with the floating corpse.

The body was found by children who went to the beach to play.After Jintian got the news, he immediately got in touch with the police, together with the doctor from the clinic, the three of them came to the beach together.The corpse has been decomposed beyond recognition, strictly speaking, this is only a part of the corpse.The two legs and the head were gone, and the rest of the body was badly bitten by the fish. Black plus fish, octopus, conger eel, etc. are greedy for dead bodies. The stench of rotting corpses filled the sea. The body has been unidentifiable male and female. But for some reason, there was a watch on his left wrist, which was riddled with holes.The strap has rusted, but it is not missing.It seems to be showing some kind of persistence.The watch is a women's watch.Therefore, it is determined that the deceased was a woman.

Doctors examined the body.Jin Tian still remembers the scene of the doctor wearing rubber gloves and casually poking his hands into the sex organs of the corpse.The doctor pulled out the pelvis and sternum for examination, and concluded that the deceased was a middle-aged woman. The police took pictures of the body. Because there is no head, the teeth cannot be identified, let alone the cause of death. The corpses were sent to cemeteries where there were no sacrifices. The watch with a rusted strap is kept in the village office. This is a domestic watch.The police took photos of the manufacturing number and other related items and sent them to the county police.It's the only forensic thing when someone comes to check.

But no one came to inquire. Seeing dead bodies floating on the island from time to time, their identities were unknown due to decay and deformation, so they had to be buried. The incident was never mentioned again.Time passed imperceptibly. One day in early April of the new year, a teenager suddenly came to the village office, saying that he wanted to take a look at the watch that was in custody. Jin Tian asked him why he was looking at that watch. The teenager, who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old, only replied that the deceased might be his relative.The boy is very polite and doesn't speak much. Jin Tian took out his watch and showed it to him.The boy looked at it silently for a while, said, "I don't know you." Then he left.That's all there is to it. "What happened to that watch?" "It was kept in the village office for several years, but it was taken to the temple later. I'm afraid it was buried." When it comes to this, Jin Tian is not very clear. "temple?" "It's Joganji Temple." "thank you very much." Qingcun solemnly saluted. The early summer sun is already very dazzling. Joganji Temple is located on the hillside where you can see the sea. The abbot is an old man in his seventies. Qing CunYiShou explained the purpose of coming. "Oh, the benefactor?" The abbot brought this up without thinking. "You seem to be impressed by this?" The abbot replied that he seemed to be talking about what happened yesterday, which made Qingcun puzzled. "Someone sent a permanent sacrificial fee." "Permanent sacrificial fee? When did you send it?" "About six years ago." "What's the name?" "no name." The abbot shook his head. "The name is there, but it's not real. It says 1-Chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Nippon Taro, and 200,000 yen in cash was sent by registered mail." We sent a postcard to the address on the letter to the effect that we had received it, but it was returned shortly after. The abbot estimated that the person who sent the money was probably the boy who visited the temple in early April of the second year after the discovery of the middle-aged female body.He asked where the cemetery was, and the abbot had taken him there. After the boy left, the abbot found flowers, plants and incense sticks in front of the unowned grave.A few days later, the abbot heard that the boy went to the village office to ask to see his watch.Because of his weird behavior, he became a topic of discussion at that time. The teenager looked at his watch, but didn't claim it.Probably for some reason, the boy visited the temple again and offered flowers, plants and incense sticks in front of the grave.The abbot thought he was a kind-hearted boy. Nine years later, a permanent sacrificial fee was received.I didn't think of the boy at the time, and it took a few months before I suddenly thought of him. —Is that the boy? The abbot tried his best to recall the boy's figure. He always felt that there was a knot in his heart.Fifteen years ago, after looking at his watch, the teenager knew that Dead was the person he was looking for.But he only offered flowers, plants and incense sticks in front of the grave and left. For some reason, the abbot always felt that the corpse of the middle-aged woman buried in the unworshipless cemetery was the boy's mother.But the abbot didn't know why the boy refused to reveal his name.Judging from the permanent sacrificial fee he sent nine years later, he must have known who the middle-aged female corpse was.But why did he leave silently?Why send the permanent sacrificial fee without leaving your name? People will encounter all kinds of things in this world. The abbot thinks that the 200,000 yuan should be used well. Maybe this is what the young man has accumulated bit by bit through labor in nine years. , to make the best use of it.Abbots can only do so much. "What happened to the watch?" Qingcun asked. "After the body was buried for several years, the village office turned the watch around and buried it in a cemetery where no one offered sacrifices." "Is that how it's buried?" "Yes, in order to let it rot as quickly as possible." "Do you remember where it was buried?" "I'll take you." The abbot walked out of the courtyard. There are incense ashes in front of the graves where there is no one offering sacrifices. It seems that people come to make offerings every day. The abbot dug with the shovel he had brought. The watch was really dug out and covered with dirt.Qing Cun brushed off the topsoil with his hands, took a look, and immediately sent it back to the pit. The watch was almost completely corroded. "Is the envelope for the permanent sacrificial fee still there?" "Six years have passed, so..." The abbot shook his head slowly. Qing Cun nodded, staring at the unattended tomb.There was only a small stone covered with moss. It was almost dusk. The waves rushed to the shore, and there were white splashes. Kiyomura Kazumori stared at the rolling waves. A boy emerged from the waves.The boy stared at Qingcun.He has bright eyes and white teeth, and his facial features are correct, but his expression is gloomy and his eyes are cold. Kiyomura looked at the boy in some confusion. A woman's figure was reflected behind the boy, his legs and head were gone, only his carcass floating on the water.She is in her thirties, and her facial features are so correct, just like that young man. Qingcun couldn't help but sighed deeply. Qingcun has grasped the whole incident.It was an event oozing with tragedy, with a level of pain not found in ordinary homicides.This pain tortured Qingcun. The hatred in his heart for the murderer who killed the procurator is diminishing. The boy waited for his mother and sister who returned to Tokyo from Iki.He waited, but his mother and sister did not come back. The boy does not have a father. If he had a father, the father would come out to inquire on behalf of the boy. It also shows that the boy has no relatives to rely on. Perhaps because of the sudden death of his father, the boy's mother had to rush back from Iki despite the storm. The mother and sister were eager to return to Tokyo, perhaps because they had been notified that the boy's father had died suddenly or was dying.The boy took care of his father's funeral by himself. Mother and sister still haven't come back. The boy waited, and waited, in utter sorrow. It has been seven months since my father died.The boy couldn't hold back his longing, and decided to go to Iki to find his mother and sister. He set off.During this trip, he may have found traces of his mother and sister.Not necessarily accurate.He might have learned that his mother and sister had stood beside the Ridge as it was leaving port. Whether their mother and daughter were on the Sea Ridge, the boy had no way of judging.He thought that his mother and sister might have disappeared after arriving in Jiuzhou on a regular ship. Why didn't the teenager apply to the police for tracing?Qingcun didn't know about it either.But he believes that there must be reasons for not applying. In short, the teenager continues to search for his mother and sister. Eight months after the disappearance of his mother and sister, it is possible for the teenager to realize that they had been killed and thrown into the sea. The premise of this kind of inference must be to believe that the mother and sister took the Sea Ridge.After eight months of investigation, the teenager found out that his mother and younger sister had boarded the Sea Ridge, and something unusual had happened on the Sea Ridge. The boy investigated the drifting corpse and confirmed that the middle-aged female corpse was his mother.Perhaps this watch is a birthday gift from the boy's accumulated pocket money to his mother, and the back of the watch may be engraved with imprints that only the boy knows. After seeing it, the boy vowed to take revenge.No, maybe the teenager swore revenge after he was convinced that his mother and sister were on the Ridge. After the boy recognized his mother, he resolutely left Jiandao with pain, which is enough to show the boy's strong will. The teenager decides to kill the enemy, but the enemy is five prosecutors and a lawyer with great power.I am not an opponent.What's more, he still has to continue to investigate what happened on the Hailing. The boy waited for the moment to come.To kill these six people, one must exercise one's will and physique, have an iron heart and indomitable perseverance. The young man lived by working, and the murderous intent in his heart had been burning for fifteen years.Fifteen years have passed like this, showing the extraordinary endurance of the young man.Qingcun experienced the loneliness and sadness of the teenager from this kind of patience. Kiyomura felt that he should let go of the case. If he could, he really wanted to. When he imagined the scene of the boy visiting Iki and Mijima, his hatred for the crime committed by the boy was not so strong.He felt that the young man who knew that the drifting corpse was his mother, but denied it, and offered flowers, plants and incense sticks in front of the unworshipped grave must be full of sadness in his heart. Kiyomura felt the strong hatred contained in the three strands of twisted twenty-gauge wire that were strangled into the necks of the two prosecutors.
