Chapter 14 Zero Focus - 2

On New Year's Day, only food stores are open in front of the station.During the Chinese New Year, the streets are closed, and there is a thin layer of snow on the ground. This is the third time she has come to Kanazawa.The gray clouds in the sky came and went, and the sun shone on the roof and moved slightly. The station is crowded and crowded, almost all of them are tourists and skiers rushing home for the New Year.Last night in the train, she had only slept for a while, amidst the noise of skiers from Tokyo. Sadako finally found a taxi and went straight to Muroda's house.There is still snow on the high slopes as before.Every household has tied up Chinese New Year's pine trees, bringing out the atmosphere of the ancient city.Today is New Year's Day, but he is running for a sad thing. For this, Zhenzi feels sad.

In front of Murota's house, Zhenzi rang the doorbell, and the maid came out, the same one from before, and it was the New Year today, dressed up clean. "I want to see the manager," said Sadako. The maid bowed respectfully and replied: "Master has not been at home since yesterday." "Where did you go?" Zhenzi thought he went to Tokyo again, but he didn't. "As an annual practice, the master went to Wakura Onsen.'" Wakura, about two hours away by train from Kanazawa, is located in the center of the east side of the Noto Peninsula, very close to Gaonanao, where there is the Murata factory.Honda had been there before, on Hisako's behalf.

"Then madam is at home?" "Madam also went together." The maid said in fear.According to the usual practice, the couple went to the hot springs to celebrate the New Year, and they might not be able to return until two or three days later.When Zhenzi asked, the maid said that she would not come back in less than four days. "Do you know what hotel Xia Yang is in?" "I know." The maid knew Zhenzi, so she told the name of the hotel bluntly. After leaving Murota's house, Sadako went to Kanazawa Station again.It snowed yesterday. Looking from this high slope, the Baishan mountain range is white with dark clouds as the background.

Sadako took the train from Kanazawa Station to Wakura Onsen.This local railway line is full of New Year's guests, almost all of whom go to Hecang Hot Spring.Sadako is the third time sitting on this line.The first time, to hear from the police, that a suicide body was found, took this line to High Wave on the West Coast.The second time I went to the end of high school to find Tanuma Jiuyu's house.Both times, I changed trains at Yuza Station halfway.Just sat all the way north today. On the way, I saw the deserted lake.At the next stop, looking out of the train window, someone caught fish from the lake, put them in fish cages, and boarded the train.

After Yuji Station, Yulu, Jinmaru, and Notobe stop at every small station.When he came to this area, with the mountains pressing on his head, and passing through these strange little stations, Zhenzi felt sad for some reason.The station attendant stood on the snow-covered platform, waved the street sign, and watched the train go away.Walking from the platform to the station, the women were almost all bowed, with black headscarves on their heads.At every station there were fish merchants mingling with the crowd.Zhenzi stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, thinking about the upcoming meeting with the Murata couple.

Her thinking started from the symposium she saw on TV at her sister-in-law’s house. Some people said at the symposium that among the women who dealt with American soldiers in special jobs after the war, many of them have gained new lives and established new families. . This opened the debtor's eyes, and at the moment of hearing these words, the barrier that had been in front of her until now suddenly collapsed. From the crack in the collapsed wall, she first saw the figure of Hisako Tanuma.Besides her, Zhenzi saw another woman.So far, Zhenzi has never dared to think about it. Sadako was wrong to regard Murata Gisaku as the murderer.If his wife, Sachiko, were to replace Murota, then all doubts would be quickly resolved.

Superintendent Hayama, former colleague of her husband Kenichi, once said: "Most of the jeep girls who deal with American soldiers are ignorant, but there are also smart women who have received considerable education and good brains. Now, you will understand their qualities.” Zhenzi thought that the smart and shrewd woman was Mrs. Murota, Sachiko. Sachiko's life experience is not well understood.All I know is that she is the continuation of Manager Murota, a female employee of a certain company in Tokyo, and she met Murota who was going to discuss business, and she fell in love with him and became his mistress.Murota's ex-wife died and was helped to become the main wife.

Kenichi was a patrolman in the Disciplinary Unit of the Lichuan Bureau. At that time, he dealt with this type of women. Most of them only knew their faces, but did not know their names or people.Among them was Hisako Tanuma, and another Sachiko Murata. —— Zhenzi continued to think: Kenichi, as the director of the Kanazawa office of A advertising company, met Hisako by chance when he was wandering around the Hokuriku area.At this time, Hisako knew Kenichi, but did not know his name.Otherwise Kenichi "Sone Masaburo" Pseudonyms cannot be established.Kenichi met Hisako Tanuma and lived with her in a solitary living environment before he made a proposal with Sadako.

Under such circumstances, Ken had no intention of marrying Hisako from the very beginning.Therefore, he falsely claimed his name and occupation to Hisako, saying that he was a salesman of a certain company, and his name was "Sone Masaburo". On the other hand, Kenichi got acquainted with Murota during his business dealings, gained his trust, and met his wife Sachiko by chance, probably when the wife went to her husband's company. At that time, when Mrs. Murota met Kenichi, she must have been shocked by this reunion, and gradually changed from shock to horror. His wife, Sachiko, married Muroda to conceal her past experience, and is now a famous lady in Kanazawa.

She suddenly met someone who knew about her dark past, and fell into anxiety and terror. Ken, however, has no particular opinion of Mrs. Murota.When he saw her who had been reborn, no, when he saw this celebrity wife, he might secretly bless her.In the Tachikawa era, one was a police officer and the other was a prostitute.That's all about their relationship.In other words, it's the same as with Hisako, but just acquaintance.However, after the reunion.The relationship between the two is not so simple. Mrs. Murota understands Kenichi's special consciousness, and knows that he has no malicious intentions, and will not reveal her previous life experience to others, or use it to threaten her.She began to feel relieved.Therefore, she expressed a special affection for Xianyi.She was a prostitute in the past, but now she is the wife of a celebrity. She is more afraid of Xianyi revealing her background than death.Therefore, she instigated her husband, Murata Gisaku, to assist Yu Kenichi in his work.Since Kenichi took office, Murata Refractory Brick Co., Ltd. has doubled the amount of advertisements for advertising company A than before, and this is the secret.

Manager Murota certainly didn't know anything.Therefore, he simply explained that this was the kindness expressed by his wife Sachiko to the salesman Kenichi Uhara.He expressed kindness to Xianyi, and the reason why Xianyi, who was often single, came to the house for lunch and dinner was for this reason. In order to prevent her life experience from being leaked out, Madam used good intentions to defend Xianyi.Xian—I didn’t have that kind of thought in the beginning.Even so, his wife, Sachiko, was still caught in anxiety and terror. Madam is now living a happy life that everyone envies.As a local female celebrity, she has a glorious status. Therefore, Kenichi's existence is like continuously casting a dark cloud in the blue sky, putting her in fear. However, Kenichi himself has troubles, that is, he lives with Hisako who has no intention of getting married from the beginning.He knew that he would be the head of the office in Kanazawa for at most a year or two.At first he considered living with Hisako only for a year or two.In order to avoid future troubles, he changed his name to "Sone Masaburo".Therefore, in the Tachikawa era, Uhara Kenichi and Hisako, the patrol officers of the Disciplinary Unit, were just acquaintances, and they didn't know each other's names and origins, otherwise it would be very difficult to change their names. Zhenzi continued to think: The cohabitation between Kenichi and Hisako lasted for a year and a half, and Tanuma Hisako blindly treated the cohabitant "Sone Masaburo" Deepening her love, she performed chastity for her informally married husband and served him wholeheartedly.During this period, the company wanted to transfer Kenichi back to Tokyo several times, but he refused.Why did he refuse to be transferred back to the head office? Now the secret has finally been revealed. Kenichi is obsessed with the love that Tanuma Hisako dedicates.Can't get out of cohabitation with her.At the beginning, Kenichi made a plan, intending to make "Sone Masuke" Saburo disappear as soon as the transfer order arrives, and return to Tokyo as Uhara Kenichi. But because of Hisako's stubborn love, he couldn't escape. Finally, the opportunity for Kenichi to separate from Hisako finally came, and that was when he married Zhenyu. Kenichi discussed with Mrs. Murota, and she taught him to "suicide".Once "suicide", all of Hisako's investigations came to an end.Of course, this is a fake suicide, actually going back to Tokyo. In this case, fortunately, Kenichi, who lived with Hisako, used the alias of "Sone Masaburo", a "other person".Therefore, even if "Sone Masaburo" died, Uhara Kenichi would not be suspected of it.In fact, Hisako only firmly believed in Kenichi as "Sone Masaburo".Mrs. Murota told Kenichi that this is the best way. This is the secret of why Kenichi wrote such a suicide note.He left the suicide note of "Sone Masaburo", put all the relics on the scene meticulously, and made a state of jumping off the cliff. Kenichi didn't wear a suit with "Uhara" embroidered on it when he went to Hisako's house.At this time, he was probably wearing a suit with "Sone" embroidered on it, or his name was not rusted at all. In any case, the surname "Uhara" was always inappropriate. Hara's suit to the laundry and dyeing shop, and then put on the suit of "Sone Masaburo". Ken returned to the Tokyo head office ten days a month, during which "Sone Masaburo" was on a business trip, and spent the remaining twenty days in the office in Kanazawa, doing business in the Hokuriku area.This was also the period when "Sone Masaburo" returned to Hisako's house. The elder brother Sotaro knew about this situation.So Kenichi somehow told Sotaro about his double life. Therefore, under the instigation of Mrs. Murota, or according to her instructions, Kenichi prepared a "suicide act". He said to his successor Honda: "I can't come back tonight. I will go back to Kanazawa tomorrow before going to Tokyo." At this time, Kenichi returned to Hisako's house, and at night, he stood on a cliff not far from Hisako's house. At this moment, there was a person beside Xianyi.This person is Mrs. Murota, the persuader who single-handedly planned Kenichi's suicide.When Kenichi went to discuss with Sachiko, at this moment, the wife must have thought that the opportunity finally created conditions for Kenichi to "pretend" and "suicide".Thus killing Xianyi will not be suspected by the outside world at all.Especially let Xianyi stand on the cliff and suddenly push him into the sea. Whoever sees it can only think it is suicide.As a method of killing, there is nothing more ingenious than this. By permanently sealing Xianyi's mouth, her status will not be shaken at all, and she can spend her life in peace.Was this plan already planned when Xianyi came to discuss with her, or was it that night when Xianyi met all the "conditions for suicide" and stood on the cliff.She suddenly thought of it?It's hard to tell right now.Probably the latter.In the initial instigation, the wife was persuading Xianyi from the standpoint of Xianyi. Later, she realized that this was the only chance, so she decided to let Xianyi kill Xianyi by pretending to commit suicide. In this way, when Kenichi met all the conditions for suicide, Sachiko pushed him into the sea. The police found the body, identified it as "Sone Masaburo", and Hisako Tanuma claimed it. The report to the police is "Sone Masaburo", and the procedure at the town office is "Sone Masaburo, the husband of Taji Hisako's unofficial marriage", and the process is completed.Everything is to legally wipe out "Sone Masaburo", no, to wipe out Kenichi Uhara from this world. At this time, Hisako did not know where her husband "Sone Masaburo" was from.Recently, there have been many cases where the country of origin of the unofficially married husband is not known.The town office asked Jiuzi to declare his place of origin after he knew his place of origin, so the burial was completed "according to the law." When Zhenzi came to Kanazawa to find her husband, she asked the police station about runaways and people who died abnormally.At that time, there were three suicides and one death due to injury.But she didn't realize that the Uhara Kenichi she was looking for was among them. Sadako has so far believed that Murata Gisaku is the murderer.The murderers who killed Sotaro, Honda Yoshio, and Taji Hisako were all done by Murota.In fact, this idea replaces Murata Gisaku with Sachiko, and these actions are completely in line with Sachiko's actions. For example, after Kenichi disappeared, Sotaro came to pursue him and was about to find out the truth, but was killed by Sachiko.So far, Sadako has always thought that it was Hisako who seduced Sotarou and went to Tsurue together.But this is wrong.On the tram of the Hokuriku Railway, the person wearing a pink turban and a red coat is actually Sachiko. The Sachiko Shazi usually sees is very particular about her clothes, and she often wears luxurious kimonos.Therefore, he mistook the woman in the original color suit for Hisako. Of course, Sachiko would not usually wear such a costume that reveals her own background, but in order to kill Sotaro, she put on a costume similar to her past "profession" on this day. Sachiko led Sotaro from Kanazawa Station to Tsururai by train, and must have told him that Kenichi and Hisako live together nearby, and I will take you there.Soutaro immediately wants to see Kenichi.But looking for them together always felt inappropriate.Sachiko said, I'll call Kenichi, you wait here.The two broke up in front of the station.The agreed meeting place is at the Kanoya Hotel where Soutaro was poisoned to death.Believing her, Sotaro entered Kanoya, drank the poisoned whiskey Sachiko gave him, and died of potassium cyanide poisoning. Sotaro and Sachiko met during the search for Kenichi.He knew that Ken and the Murata couple had a close relationship, so he went to visit.Kenichi told his brother Sotaro to some extent about living together with Hisako on the Noto coast, but Mrs. Murota was not mentioned.Because in order to protect his wife's reputation, he didn't want to talk about her life experience.Therefore, Sotaro and his wife got acquainted according to the order already considered. From Tsurumai Station, Sachiko did not return by the original route because she thought that when she arrived in Kanazawa, she would have to return to the position of Mrs. Murota, so she took the train bound for Terai from Tsurumai.Doing so is much more roundabout than going straight back to Kanazawa.But in a detour, she gains a place and a time.On the way from the main line to Kanazawa, Sachiko closed the door of the train toilet, took off her bright suit, and became Mrs. Murota again.At the time, eyewitnesses said that the woman in the red coat was carrying a suitcase, which is now understood to have contained Mrs. Murota's costume. Mrs. Sachiko still feels uneasy after killing Sotaro, and she is wary of a second one.The third Sotaro. It doesn't matter when, someone will come to Tanuma Hisako again, so I feel uneasy.For this, Hisako must be hidden from her residence. Mrs. Murota asked her husband Yisaku to hire Hisako Tanuma as the company's messenger.In order to keep the secret, Hisako was asked not to tell his neighbors that he was working at the Murata Firebrick Headquarters. Hisako, of course, didn't know anything, but thanked Mrs. Murota for her kindness, and he was done with it.I'm afraid Mrs. Murota and Hisako were both women who lived a life of flesh and blood in the Tachikawa era, and they knew each other.In this way, the two photos her husband hid were taken when Kenichi met the two when he came to Kanazawa.Whether the number written on the back of the photo is a mark made by the washing room, or a number related to the dark age of Sachiko and Hisako, only Kenichi knows its meaning.Xian distinguishes these two photos from other photos. Is there a common meaning? ——Shenko only thought of it now. The wife also did work for her husband, Murata Gisaku, saying that Honda's investigation was getting closer and closer, and she might come to Murata Firebrick Company for inquiries. Originally, Jiuzi had to find an excuse when he entered the company to communicate, so it was assumed that Jiuzi's husband was a worker in the factory.With the deepening of Honda's investigation, this lie was finally exposed.If Honda went directly to Nanao's factory and asked the labor department, this disguise would be exposed immediately.Answer that there is no such worker, and all is lost. So Sachiko told Murota that if someone came to ask questions, they would say that the workers of the Murata refractory brick factory had paid severance pay when they died.Murota didn't know the reason, so he ordered his subordinates to carry out according to his beloved wife's instructions.This pair, Hisako became Sachiko's friend. When Honda went to Nanao's factory to inquire, the relevant people said that there were indeed workers like "Sone Masaburo" who had died.But when I went to the accounting department of the head office to check, I couldn't find a subpoena for payment of severance pay, which contradicted myself.Mrs. Murota overlooked this point. Mrs. Murota felt that Yoshio Honda's pursuit was getting tighter.Hisako must now be transferred from the Murata Firebrick Headquarters.So Sachiko called Jiuzi and instructed her to go to Tokyo as soon as possible. What reason did the wife use to send Jiuzi away? Now she can only ask the wife herself. Hisako knew nothing, and firmly believed that Sachiko could guarantee his own life, so he acted according to Sachiko's instructions. At this time, Sachiko handed Hisako a bottle of whiskey and told him to drink it if Honda came to visit.The whiskey bottle has been opened, and there is a little less, otherwise the potassium cyanide cannot be mixed. Hisako accepted without the slightest doubt.Really gave the whiskey that Sachiko gave her to Yoshio Honda who came to visit the next day. How did Honda know Hisako's pseudonym "Tomoko Sugino" and her address in Tokyo.In the past, the principal thought that Manager Murota told him.Now just change to Sachiko, who told Honda about Hisako's whereabouts. Honda wanted to tell Zhenzi when everything was clear.Therefore, some details of his trip to Tokyo were kept from Sadako.Unexpectedly, an unfortunate accident happened.If he told Zhenzi all the details of the investigation, then Zhenzi would be able to focus on Mrs. Murota earlier.In doing so, perhaps Hisako could be saved from death. As planned, Honda drank the whiskey given to him by Hisako and collapsed.Hisako was so frightened that he fled from Tokyo to Kanazawa and called Mrs. Murota.The madam instructed Jiu Yu to go to Helai to meet him.In the past, Huizi assumed that it was Gisaku Takada who answered the phone, but now as long as Mrs. Murota is replaced, everything will be solved. Zhenzi raised his eyes to search the sky.Something stuck in her mind.There seemed to be something irrational in front of her eyes. ——That was the content of the lady's phone call she had heard when she visited Manager Muroda before. Manager Murota told Zhenzi that his wife said on the phone that she was going to give a symposium at the old Kanazawa radio station at six in the evening, so she couldn't come to see Zhenzi, and she was rude and so on. In fact, Sadako heard this broadcast in a coffee shop on the street-a discussion between Mrs. Murota, the governor's wife, and a professor from Y University from Tokyo.Sadako still remembers a few young men at a nearby table talking about Mrs. Murota. It was 6 pm at that time, and the autopsy concluded that Hisako Tanuma died at around 6 pm.How can Sachiko, who broadcasts at 6 p.m. in Kanazawa, have the time to come to Tsururai by train for 50 minutes, and then walk to the scene?This broadcast is tantamount to proving that Sachiko is not there.How is this going? The train arrived at Hecang Station, and passengers were waiting on the snow-covered platform. Sadako took a taxi from Wakura Station to the hot springs.This area is a tourist area, the roads are beautifully built, and there is a small island. On the opposite side of the island, you can vaguely see white mountains.From here you can see Tateyama from the front.There are boats floating on the sea. "The boat is for sea cucumbers, ma'am." Seeing that he was a visitor from Tokyo, the driver introduced him casually.Like other hot springs, there are hexagonal paper-covered lamps at both ends of the road here.The car had pulled into Hotel Street. Detective Zhen inquired from the maid of the Murota family to find out the hotel where the Murota couple stayed.This hotel is the biggest one in this spa.As soon as he entered the gate, Zhenzi immediately asked the cashier to see Manager Muroda, and the shopkeeper said: "Not here now." "So is your wife there?" Zhenzi asked. "My wife is out, too." "I don't know where you went?" "My wife told me to go to Yuzai, and I went by car." The shopkeeper said. "People from the factory here came to see the master and talked in the room. As soon as they heard that the lady was out, they immediately ordered a car to chase after him. I'm afraid they got together later." From this point of view, Mrs. Murota hired a car to go to Yuza first. Manager Muroda didn't know at first, but when he heard that Mrs. Murata had left, he immediately chased after her. When he heard that Mrs. Zuozhizi had gone to Yuzai, Zhenzi couldn't help being startled. Needless to say, Yuza town is on the same route as the Xianyi suicide site. ——The railway branch line to Gaohong changed trains at Yuzai and left here.Highway - From here, go south to Yuzai, and then go along the coast to Fupu. On the way, there is a cliff where Xianyi jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.In other words, there are east-west mountains between Hecang on the east coast and the west coast where Kenichi committed suicide. To go there, one must avoid the mountains and detour through the town of Yuza. "What's the deal with this?" Sadako asked. The shopkeeper turned to his knees and lowered his head to give. "Ma'am two hours ago, sir an hour and a half ago." Xu Zhenzi was deeply disturbed, and an ominous omen loomed in front of him. In the direction the Baotian couple went, it seemed that there were invisible dark clouds waiting for them.Mrs. Murata, Sachiko, seemed to be running away without any scruples.Manager Murota was devastated and went to see his wife in a panic. "I want to see Mrs. Murota immediately anyway. Excuse me, can you call me a car right away?" Seeing Zhenzi's expression, the shopkeeper sensed the urgency of the situation, and immediately agreed.Picking up the phone to call a car, before the car arrived, Zhenzi didn't know how long he had passed. The lobby of the hotel is spacious, and the front glass showcases Kutani pottery and Wajima lacquerware, which are special products of the area. Standing in this strange place, and in the lobby of this strange hotel, I feel very sad.When Zhenzi saw these Kutani pottery, he couldn't help but think of the Tang lions and patterns on the plate in the coffee shop that he and Honda visited together.She did not expect that such a tragic memory would be left behind in the Northland that she longed for so much. The guests who came to the hot spring for the Chinese New Year chat happily in the corridor.From the perspective of others, the Murata couple must also be a happy couple. · The sun is setting in the west.The faint sunlight flickered on the snow-covered road. At last the car arrived. Sadako gave the driver the map he had brought.From now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Mrs. Sachiko.She asked the driver if there was a shortcut. In short, she wanted to see Mrs. Sachiko as soon as possible.She had been gone for two hours, and she did not take shortcuts to shorten the time.It is impossible to catch up with her. "Is there a shortcut from here to the coast?" Zhenzi asked the driver. "Yes, but it's snowing, and I'm afraid it's not possible to cross the mountains. This is the only way to take a shortcut." The driver said with a map. Like a fist, the center of the Noto Peninsula extends from the north to the city.From Wakura Onsen to the west coast to engage in port.There is a road across the mountains.The driver felt that the road was dangerous and hesitated. "I'm sorry, but it's really urgent. I can give you more fare, and think of a way anyway." The driver was not moved by the high fare, but seeing Zhenzi's anxious expression, he finally agreed. "Okay, go and try." The driver let Zhenzi into the car.Passing the garage on the way, the driver brought the iron chain tied to the road from it. While the iron chain was being tied, another taxi passed by. The driver straightened his waist and greeted: "Hey, now go over the mountain to Fupu Port, what's the situation on the road there?" The passing driver stuck his head out of the window and said: "The bus has been stopped since last month. If you don't pay attention, it may be dangerous." He glanced at Zhenzi who was sitting on the bus. Zhenzi thought, even if it is dangerous, he can't care about it.In short, the Murotas must be caught up as soon as possible.She went to see the Murotas with a desperate determination. All the incidents so far can be resolved from the eyes of the wife. At this moment, Zhenzi is in a mental state of being chased to the limit. "Get ready, ma'am. Let's go! After tying chains to the tires, the driver took hold of the steering wheel. After a while, the car was driving on the sloping Nanao Bay, and the sea could be seen on the right.The sun has returned to Sidon. The sun shining through the thick dark clouds was red on the cold sea.Pu Haicuan's boat was still parked at its original location. Not long after, the car left the coast and drove towards the road in the mountains, passing through several secluded villages. The road became narrower and the snow became thicker. The mountains are full of pine, cedar and hinoki trees.There are no ruts on the snow-covered road, which proves that no other cars pass in front of this car.On the mountain, the sky gradually darkened. This road is paved for tourists from Hecang to Fupu Port in spring and summer.The mountain road twists and turns on the mountain gorge. "Ma'am, are you worried? The driver said to Zhenzi: "From now on, take a detour on the mountain road for an hour, turn on the radio and listen to it!" Zhenzi has no intention of listening to the radio, but she is too embarrassed to refuse the driver's kindness. After turning on the radio, I don't know which station is broadcasting cheerful pop songs. "Just in time.' The driver was happy. At first glance, there was still a little boyishness on his face. The desolate valley and the joyful pop songs form a wonderful contrast. The broadcast was from Tokyo, relayed by a local station.Male singers and female singers sing alternately, one by one.After a while, I saw a charcoal-burning hut, and on the narrow path piled up with logs, the driver held the steering wheel and shook his shoulders to beat the time. "I like Mitohashi Michiya the most. Why didn't you come out? By the way, when I got out of the car just now, it was broadcasting Mihashi's. It was another radio station, and it kept going back and forth." The driver said to Zhenzi: "This must not be a live broadcast, but a recorded recording." Zhenzi was taken aback when he heard his words. By the way, recording! ——The question in the train is solved like this. Hearing Mrs. Murota's voice in the Kanazawa coffee shop at 6 p.m. was not a live broadcast.Mr. Murota heard from his wife on the phone that he would be on the radio now, and it was about 3:30.The recording must have been made at four-thirty, and the broadcast began at six. Mrs. Murota deduced Tanuma Hisako off the cliff at six o'clock, and it was not surprising that Mrs. Murata's voice was being broadcast on the radio. In this way, all the doubts of Zhenzi were solved. Mrs. Murota is the murderer, there is no contradiction at all.Only whether she worked as a prostitute at the Lichuan base has yet to be confirmed.It seems that this inference is not wrong. Manager Murota is now chasing Sachiko and arrived at the Wakura Onsen Hotel last night. Something must have happened to the two of them.Sachiko suddenly drove out to Yuzai, maybe Murota noticed it last night.Pressing her, she finally confessed her crime?Murota will definitely go to Tokyo to investigate his wife's previous life experience.Therefore, Sachiko lost hope of life, and stood on the cliff where Kenichi jumped off the cliff.Ten minutes later, Murota noticed his wife's intentions and immediately chased after her. Zhenzi looked at his watch. It has been forty minutes since I left Hecang.There are mountains all around.The car is climbing a hill.Felled trees were piled up everywhere, and there was no one on the mountain road. Because of the snow, the car moved very slowly, and Zhenzi was in a hurry.If this continues, something may have happened between Sachiko and Murota.It seemed to her that they were moving towards a tragic end with extraordinary speed. Catch them, catch them!Zhenzi prayed in her heart. Even so, when she thought of Mrs. Sachiko's mood, she felt sorry for her.Zhenzi didn't know his wife's life experience, but he must have come from a fairly wealthy family and had received a considerable education. After the defeat, Japan was devastated everywhere.Families have been hit.The disintegration of her family also affected her psychological degradation.Fate impelled her for a moment to fall into the circle of women of a certain profession. Afterwards, she successfully returned to her original position and lived a normal life. When she met Murata by chance and extended a helping hand to her, she finally found a lucky opportunity.Sachiko has gained a stable life and can use her talents as she pleases.So she is active in society as the manager's wife, the local celebrity's wife.Her talents were brought into full fruition. She stepped into the upper class of the local society, relying solely on her husband's status to make her mark in society.She quickly gained strength in this circle and became a special person.As the young man in the coffee shop said, in a short period of time, Sachiko Murata became the new leader of women in the ancient capital of Hokuriku. Unexpectedly, one day, Kenichi Uhara appeared, which was an ominous omen for Mrs. Sachiko. Zhenzi inferred Mrs. Sachiko's mood, and couldn't help but give infinite sympathy.Madam committed homicide in order to protect her reputation, but no one can use the motive of revenge.If he stands in that position, Zhenzi can't say that it is impossible to become Mrs. Sachiko. In other words, thirteen years later, the wounds suffered by Japanese women due to their defeat in the war are still not healed, and ominous blood will still spurt out from the scars once they receive some kind of shock. The surroundings light up a little. It's not that the sky is sunny, but that the car has passed through the mountainous area of ​​the forest.The car went all the way downhill, and you could see villages with snow-covered roofs. Looking at the watch, it has been more than an hour since we set off from Hecang. It takes three hours to arrive at the scene from Hecang, bypassing Yuyue; it takes only half the time to walk this way, but there are mountains ahead. "Master, is it still far away?" Zhenzi asked. "We'll be there in thirty minutes." The driver replied without looking back. After going down the slope, the road is flat and the snow is deeper than the warehouse.The branches swayed, and the wind was strong.After crossing the mountain, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The scenery here is hardly beautiful, but desolate and gloomy. It took thirty minutes to reach Fuqing Town, as the driver said.This is an ancient port established during the Song Dynasty in China. Perhaps for wind protection, every household closed their doors and used bamboo reed mats. The harbor around the cape is right next to each other on the water with fishing boats.Looking from here, there are white waves in the sky around the port. "Where do you go from here, madam?" the driver asked. Zhenzi looked at the map and generally knew the direction of the scene. "The direction of Gaoyi in the Qing Dynasty." The car is heading south from Fukuura Port, and the raging Sea of ​​Japan can be seen from the right.Thick dark clouds hung in the sky, and the enclosed sun fell on the sailors in it, giving a faint light. The sea level gradually sinks, and the strange rocks protruding from the sea are exposed.Sadako stared intently at the change in scenery.From the car window, she gazed at the scenery she had visited before. It's finally here.Zhenzi looked over the driver's shoulder and found the place standing on the cliff reciting poems from the front. It happened that the sun was gradually sinking to the west, and it was enclosed in the vast twilight.The sea was dark.Only the whitecaps bared their teeth in the harbour. Here it is. ——Shenko shouted in his heart. As the road twists and turns, the places in her memory undergo various changes.Her gaze never left this point. Right here, Xianyi was pushed into the sea.The last time she came here, she stood there, as if she had a premonition, and now clearly confirmed that it was the place where Xianyi finally ended his life.Half a month ago, when she came to Jinze to find her husband, she heard that there was an unidentified corpse here, but actually, it was a stranger she had never seen before.An old patrolman said at the time: "Recently, there are often people who commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. There was another person who committed suicide here that day, but his identity was immediately identified and he was claimed." The claimant is Hisako.The person who committed suicide by jumping off the cliff was Kenichi Uhara under the pseudonym Masaburo. Now there is no doubt. "Just stop here!" When Zhenzi got out of the car, the driver couldn't help being surprised. There are houses around, with cliffs and the sea on one side, and mountains on the other. "please wait for a moment!" After Zhenzi greeted the driver, he took a step. The wind was so strong that it hurt my cheek.The waves are loud. At this time, a person turned his back to her.His shadow came into Sadako's perspective. That person was standing there facing the sea, no need to look closely, it was Murota Gisaku. Murota didn't hear the roar of cars nearby, and stood on the tip of the cliff, motionless like a stone statue. There was no one else beside Murota. At this moment, Zhenzi thought: everything is over.Mrs. Murota was nowhere to be seen.The figure of Muroda standing still in the strong wind seemed to be facing the sea that was gradually fading into twilight. "Mr. Murata." Zhenzi walked over and called out. The wind is roaring, the sea is tsunami.Maybe it was because the voice couldn't reach there, but Murota didn't turn around immediately, and Zhenzi yelled three times. Murota finally turned around.With the dark sky as the background, a shadow fell on Muroda's face. Sadako approached Murota. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore became the rumble of the ground beneath their feet. Amidst the sound of the waves, Murota finally recognized it as Sadako. "You're here at last." Zhenzi took two or three steps forward.Her hair was tousled by the wind and hung down her cheeks. "Mr. Murota, where's your wife?" Murota remained silent, and slowly raised a hand, pointing to the twilight sea. "wife…" Murota said in a hoarse voice.His voice was very small in the sound of wind and waves, but it was clearly heard in Zhenzi's ears. "My wife went that way." Sadako stared in the direction he was pointing.Between the deep dark clouds and the harbour, at last a black spot was found, and the black spot was swaying, surrounded by white waves. "That's the insider." Sadako unknowingly stood side by side with Murota. She was almost suffocated under the pressure of the violent wind.It wasn't just the wind, but her own agitation that forced her to hold her breath. "I don't need to say more. Since you have come here, you understand everything." Murota said, staring at the sea. At this time, the small black spot on the sea in the raging waves is getting smaller and smaller. 靠近水平线的厚厚的云层间的淡黄色和周围的黑色渐渐消逝。只有裂开一道缝的乌云，仿佛像北欧的古画中所看到的那样，始终呈黄色。 借着这淡淡的光线，那个小黑点，始终停留在人的视线中，永不消逝。 “我发现已经晚了。”室田凝视着大海说： “昨夜来到和仓，我追问内人。、她向我坦白了事实。如果早些时候向我坦白，也不会落到这样的结果，我不得不向您表示深深的歉意。您的丈夫还有他的哥哥都是内人杀死的。我并不是为她辩解。内人比我先离开旅馆，不知什么时候借了一条船，向港湾处漂去。”室田的声音呜咽了。 “我忘了对你说了。内人是房州股浦某渔主的女儿，在幸福时代成长，在东京上过女子大学。战争结束后，她那颇为得意的英语给她带来了祸水。这是战后日本的现实，我并不想深究。” 一声波涛打断了他的话，待波涛咆哮过去后，室田又继续往下说： “赶到这里时，内人已去了手够不着的地方。也许你已看不到。也许她看到站在这里的我，我见到了她在船里向我挥手。” 波涛又撞击在脚下的岩石上，发出一阵轰响，室田等待这声音过去，说道： “夫人，我也挥手了。你来的时候，我看到那个小黑点。我知道内人坐在舱里。 我永远再也看不到她了。小船在波浪汹涌的大海里，不多时就会颠覆的。不，在尚未颠覆之前，小船将会失去它的乘客。那个小黑点，很快就看不见了。I……" 波浪又打来了，室田停止说话。过了一会儿，他接着说下去： “我想内人的墓就在海底，每年我都要到这里来看她。” 祯子记得曾站在离这儿不足一百米的岩角上吟过诗，此刻又在心中复苏。 在波浪汹涌的海里有她的墓！ 强风打在祯子的眼睛上。
