Chapter 23 Section VI

On June 17, Hanhejiang Hospital took in a man who lost his memory. On the evening of June 16, the locals found a person hanging on driftwood floating in the Yuebuchuan River. When the man was brought up, he was dead, his heart stopped beating, as if he had just died.His luck was not bad, and he happened to come to this village just in time for the itinerant doctor.The doctor quickly performed artificial respiration, and the man came back to life.After some emergency rescue, it was sent to Hanhejiang the next morning.The arrows were broken in the left breast and right thigh and required surgery.

The operation went well.The arrow on the left chest almost pierced the heart, and the wound on the thigh was not dangerous. The problem is that patients lose their memory. Who are you?How did it fall into Yuebu River?He had no recollection of any of this. Since he was wounded by an arrow, something must have happened.The police had to investigate. The investigation was over after only two days. The police investigated all the villages along the Yuebu River, but found no relevant clues. The wounded man appeared to be about thirty years old. His expression was gloomy, and he looked at the ceiling all day long in the ward.

He stared blankly, as if his lost past was hidden in the crack of the ceiling. The neurologist came to make a diagnosis, no matter what he asked, he just shook his head and didn't say a word. His injury healed quickly.On the fourth day after being hospitalized, he began to be able to move, but he hardly left the bed.He was also able to answer when nurses and doctors asked questions.It's a Tokyo accent, but it's slurred, and it can only say "yes", "no", and "don't know". This man had no money, and I don't know if he didn't bring any money with him or lost it while he was drifting in the river.In short, I have nothing on me.

The hospital felt very embarrassed, because there was nowhere to ask for medical expenses. After contacting the welfare office, it was finally decided that after he was healed, he could help the hospital buy medical facilities. Journalists took his picture; it was circulated across the country through newspapers, but nothing came of it. This figure seems to have been carved out of the cracks in the stone. On the fifth day of admission. A man past middle age visits someone who has lost his memory.The registered name of the visitor is Ryosaku Suzuki. Led by the nurse, Suzuki went to the patient's ward.

"Can you walk?" Suzuki asked. "Yes", the other party nodded. "Then shall we go for a walk on the roof? It happens to be sunny after the rain." "it is good". The patient got off the bed slowly, as if he had lost his soul and was at a loss. He climbed slowly up the stairs. The tall and fat Suzuki followed. "Smoking?" Suzuki offered a cigarette to the patient leaning against the roof railing.He looked at the cigarette for a while, then took it hesitantly.After taking two or three puffs on the spot, he suddenly lay on the barbed wire fence.

His face was livid. "What, are you dizzy?" "yes." The patient squatted down along the barbed wire. "It's like not smoking for a while, because you smoked before you lost your memory." "It seems to be." The patient squatted and replied. "Has your wound healed yet?" ' "The doctor said he could be discharged in another week." "yes……" Suzuki nodded and closed his mouth. He silently looked down at the man who had been squatting motionless for a long time. The patient seemed impatient to be watched by him like this, and raised his head.

He opened his mouth casually. "Stand up, Masayuki Samukawa." Suzuki's sudden voice touched the patient's heart. The man's mouth suddenly closed. "I'm Ichimura Isshou of the Kagoshima Prefectural Police, and it's time for your drama to end." Hanchuan silently looked up at Qingcun. "You were attacked by your family, Morimoto, and the killers they hired on Branch Breaker Peak, and you lost the beehive and disappeared." "..." "Someone found out that you were hiding in the upper reaches of the Yuefu River and attacked you. You were with Reiko Kochi, was Reiko killed?"

"Probably……" Han Chuan stood up. He had heard in a news report that Kiyomura, the criminal chief of the Kagoshima Prefectural Police, was looking at this person.Now that he found out, he couldn't escape. He regretted not escaping from the hospital before his wound healed. "Who attacked you?" "In Zhizhefeng are my family's Masaharu, Morimoto Hirobumi, and Suzuki Seiji. In addition, the investigator Kurosawa hired by the family is also with them." "Is that so, Suzuki from the Hokuriku inspector also..." "It's home in the upper reaches of the Tsukibu River, Morimoto and Kurosawa. While hiding in the hot spring bath house, Reiko and her..."

It can no longer be hidden.This is not to say to confess the crime of killing the two prosecutors, but to accuse the family, Morimoto, and Kurosawa of their actions.If they killed Reiko, they would have committed homicide. Even if they didn't kill them, they could be charged with kidnapping, imprisonment, rape, attempted murder, etc. Not only these three people, but also Tatsuno Nagashige and Suzuki Seiji from the Hokkaido District Prosecutor. He wants to expose to the whole society their crimes of wanton murder on the Sea Ridge 16 years ago. He made up his mind.So, without reservation, he told Qingcun in detail about the situation since Reiko was kidnapped from the hot spring bath residence.

"It's a secret fight..." After Qingcun finished listening, he briefly said with emotion. "Noriyuki Shimada and Kohide Hiraizumi were killed by me." Before introducing the situation, Han Chuan admitted it. "I see." Qingcun picked up a cigarette. He looked towards the distant mountains. He had a feeling like a prostration.Before Masayuki Hankawa was listed as the target of arrest, he had a premonition.He thought of the emptiness he would feel while arresting Hanchuan. At that time, the 14-year-old boy went to Iki and Mijima Island in Hagi City in search of his mother and sister.

When he knew that the drifting corpse with only the carcass left was his mother, he offered flowers and plants and went back. When Qingcun found out that this young man was the mobile beekeeper Masayuki Samukawa, the case was clearly in his mind.It's just a processing stage now. Even so, Kiyomura let out a long sigh. Jiajia and Morimoto fought back like animals, which was not commensurate with their identities as prosecutors and lawyers. In order to get rid of the enemy, his young wife was imprisoned, and after all kinds of insults, she was hanged naked. Han Chuan risked everything, only asking to die with his wife, but also to be plotted against.It is not difficult to imagine the ugly faces of the family.It was brutal. Qingcun didn't understand how people could become so cruel.Everyone has the right to protect themselves.Of course other people's lives are not as important as your own.Sometimes you have to kill in order to survive.The question is how to kill. Qingcun shifted his gaze from the distant mountains to Hanchuan. "Are you pretending to lose your memory in order to kill your family and Morimoto after your injury is healed?" "yes." Han Chuan's eyes were full of strange light, he looked at Qingcun. "I'm sorry Reiko, I'm sorry Reiko..." Han Chuan started to cry. "Why were your mother and sister killed?" Kiyomura asked after waiting for Hanchuan Zhengxing to stop crying. Herein lies the problem.Sixteen years ago, on August 5th, the Kailing set sail from Pugang, Iki Township, and headed for the violent Xuanhai where the low pressure was approaching. At that time, Samkawa's 36-year-old mother Saeko and 4-year-old sister Ryoko boarded the boat. What happened on that boat led to the bloody fight on display sixteen years later. What did the five experienced prosecutors and one lawyer do?What motivated them to kill both mother and daughter? Qingcun's eyes turned to the distant mountains. "It was a death." Han Chuan leaned against the barbed wire railing, staring blankly at the sky. "Wrecked? So the Hailing was killed?" "It is said that he almost died." Han Chuan replied, still looking at the sky. "Who and how did you investigate this situation?" "Father. Highland learned about it from Sea Ridge crew member Takashi Hirota." "..." "It is said that after leaving Iki, for some reason, Kailing's engine and radio broke down almost at the same time." It is not difficult to imagine that these accidents were caused by the rush of five prosecutors and one lawyer. The terror of death drove them mad. Normally, the wind and waves in Xuanhai are very strong, and under the storm, it makes it even more violent.
