Chapter 14 Section 6

Walking about 100 meters along the road in front of the Tomonaga Mansion, there is a family named Kashiwahara. There is a sixty-five-year-old housewife named Ryoko who knows the situation of the Tomonaga family well.The history of the dealings between the two families dates back to a long time ago. "That is to say, Mr. Youyong didn't tell the nearby neighbors the news of his son's return at the beginning?" Xun asked while flipping through the manual. She sat on the veranda.She spoke to Yoshiko who was drying the clothes, and Yoshiko asked him to sit there first, and even brought out a basket full of oranges to entertain her.What happened last night seems to have already spread around, and Ryoko seems to be ready for the police to visit.It is said that last night she went out to keep vigil for her relatives, and when she came back, the firefighters had already left.

"Probably because he was too embarrassed to introduce his unworthy son to the neighbors. Besides, he himself separated from his son when he was a baby, and he never saw him again, so he didn't He knows how to introduce it to others. But having said that, he still let his son live in another house, which is really admirable. After all, he is his own son, and blood is thicker than water.” "Then Mrs. Bai Yuan, how did you know that his son is back?" "Miss Namie told me that. But I was aware of it before that. It's a small place. If there is a trouble in the house, the news will spread immediately. If someone dressed strangely suddenly starts walking around Anyone would find it strange if he wandered about? What's more, that guy often invites friends back, making the noise so disturbing in the middle of the night. Either setting off firecrackers in the yard, or rowing a weird boat to the pond without authorization Playing and making troubles for others all day long. Later, Mr. Youyong must have felt that he couldn't hide it, so he decided to explain the situation to some neighbors who were still on good terms. But didn't Mr. Youyong's body become like that, so in the end it was actually Miss Namie is the one who visits everywhere to apologize. That child is the most pitiful. Just because her mother was not able to be naturalized during her lifetime, to put it bluntly, even if Mr. Tomonaga passed away, she would still pay a penny. I can't even get the inheritance. This is really too much. She has been taking good care of Mr. Tomonaga." Ryoko said violently as if she wanted to vent her grievances.

"Did Mr. Banghong have any disputes with his neighbors during his lifetime?" "That's commonplace. As I told you just now, that guy can be mixed up. But we will pay more attention on weekdays and try not to provoke the plague god. Because since he settled down, he has been a little bit different all day long. Four people come in and out." "A dubious person?" There was obviously no one else around, but Ryoko still covered his mouth with one hand and said, "He's here to collect debts. It would be fine if his bastard son simply came back to live. I heard that he owed a lot of money outside. debts."

Youyong didn't mention this matter last night.Xun thought, maybe he felt embarrassed to speak. "Where did he borrow the money from?" "I'm not sure about this. It doesn't look like it was borrowed from some righteous way. The people who came to collect debts looked very suspicious. By the way, Miss Criminal Police, the fire last night should not be as simple as arson. ? I heard from neighbors that the police asked anyone they saw today if they had seen a person with a knife in his hand.” "Ah, well... I don't really know." Xun got up to say goodbye, and under the repeated persuasion of the other party, she accepted two oranges.

After continuing to visit several households, she returned to the district police station.Mamiya and Kusanagi are both in the conference room, and Kusanagi seems to have checked Tomo Yongbanghiro's friendship. "In a word, she is an idiot." Kusanagi said, "I heard that Kunihiro's mother Kazuyo returned to her natal family's tax accountant's office to help after she separated from Mr. Tomonaga. However, when her father, a tax accountant, died suddenly, The family lost their financial income at once. It seems that this is the reason why she rejected Mr. Youyong's divorce proposal. It is said that Mr. Youyong has always sent living expenses on time, and it is with this money that Banghong can go smoothly. From studying to graduating from high school, he was not poor. Later, he also tried many jobs, but he couldn't last long. On the contrary, he got into the bad habit of gambling, and began to go to and from romantic places. The debts that Neihai inquired about It is related to gambling, and his name has long been blacklisted by the credit card company. However, according to his cronies, after he moved into that other room, all his debts were paid off. That is to say, Mr. Youyong helped him return it.”

"That's right..." Xun felt a little suffocated.Now she can not only understand Kusanagi's feelings of calling the victim's name directly, but also vaguely understand why Tomomaga Xingzheng was so indifferent at that time. "As for the specific amount of the loan, Kishitani is currently investigating. But my personal guess is that it is far more than one or two million yuan, at least ten times that amount. It is purely a big idiot." "Whether he is an idiot or not, since he was killed, we must track down the murderer." Mamiya said while peeling the orange, "Okay, where should we start next?"

"Has the murder weapon not been found yet?" Hearing Xun's question, Mamiya said sullenly, "The police station in the jurisdiction has launched a large-scale investigation, but there is still no result. It is estimated that the murder weapon has been taken away by the murderer." "If the Japanese sword is left unattended, it will show its flaws immediately." Kusanagi said. "Is the murder weapon a Japanese sword?" "It is said to be so." "No, it might not be a Japanese sword." Mamiya stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth and said, "The victim's body was pierced by a sharp blade from the back to the chest, and the wound was about five millimeters wide and three centimeters long. So now I'm just guessing that it looks similar to the scars of Japanese knife stabbing. The deceased was pierced with a knife with considerable strength. The doctor in charge of the autopsy said that if it was a Japanese knife, then the other party must be a person with extraordinary skills Jianhao. Other than that, there was no other trauma. Because the corpse’s lungs did not inhale smoke, the fire should have been set later.”

"Even if it is not a Japanese sword, if it can penetrate a person's body, this murder weapon should be quite long." "It's at least thirty centimeters long." Kusanagi said, "And it must be covered with blood. You can't carry this kind of thing on your back. What's more, there may be blood splashed back on your body. It's hard to escape without driving. Yes. If the police cordon had been pulled immediately after the murderer had set fire to the fire, he might have been caught long ago." "Don't talk nonsense, I know this is a murder case, but after discovering the body." Perhaps because he was afraid that the investigators of the police station in the surrounding jurisdiction would hear it, Mamiya said in a low voice, "Kusanagi, you continue to investigate the victim's friendship, Find out if he has ever had money disputes with others. Utsumi, go to Youyong’s house and ask Mr. Youyong about the debts.”

"Yes." Kusanagi and Xun replied in unison.
