Chapter 11: Kamiya Sayoko's Reasoning

Kamiya Sayako made another cup of coffee for herself. On the table were notes that were recorded in a dense manner.

"I discovered something."

She suddenly pointed to Shenyin's list and said, "Is it strange that you are not clean? The proportion of aging in this village is quite large, which is an indisputable fact. However, among the twenty-one people of Shenyin, the oldest person was just over thirty years old when Shenyin was Shenyin. In fact, no middle-aged and elderly people encountered Shenyin."

Pei Qingyi didn't notice this problem at first. Now, when he heard what Shengu Xiaoyezi said, his eyes lit up. After carefully looking at the list, he also exclaimed: "Yes, it's really strange."

"It is worth mentioning that there were many elderly people who entered the mansion, but those elderly people did not encounter Shenyin later, but died. Most of the people in Shenyin were also male."

"Young male..." Sima Zhen suddenly had a strange thought: "You said, since Kasei Hasegawa is actually a slut, then, is it necessary to arrest these men and do that kind of thing with them? Ah, I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously..."

Sayako Kamiya and Pei Qingyi looked over.

"What do you think?" she said to Pei Qingyi: "I think his statement is also possible. The layout of the apartment is indeed difficult for people to guess."

"Although it sounds very perverted, it cannot be said that it is impossible."

Suddenly, the cell phone that Kamiya Sayako placed on the table rang. She took the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After connecting, a woman's voice came: "Is it Miss Kamiya? I am Harumi Kamihara, can I take up some of your time?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Before, Kamiya Sayako had already given her mobile phone number to the Kamihara brother and sister.

"My friend... Kazuya Iijima didn't know what happened. He left home in the morning and has not come back yet. And I'm worried that he would go to the mountains on the east side of Damuhei Ridge..."

"What does it mean?" Kamiya Xiaoya's face changed: "You said he went to the mountains on the east side of Damuhei Ridge?"

"I don't know either, it's just a guess. Actually, actually..." Kanhara Harumi finally made up her mind and said, "A friend of mine saw my sister-in-law with his own eyes! My sister-in-law who should have died! It's near the iron chain bridge, on the east side of Damuhei Ridge!"

Kamiya Sayako actually obtained this information through eavesdropping, but she didn't say much at the moment, but she still pretended to have a very surprised tone: "What did you say? Is this true?"

"Actually, I think this is incredible. Kazuya cares very much about this matter. Yesterday I came to me to discuss this matter. Miss Kamiya, I want to ask you, what's going on? Have you found something?"

Harumi could be said to be full of fear at this time, and her heart was filled with fear. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, what if that was true? If it really turned out to be like that...

A cold feeling hit my heart.

"Please tell me...Is there really evil spirits in that place, that abandoned mansion?"

Although she grew up listening to the legend of Shenyin, after all, when Harumi grew up, the people in the village had almost listed there as an absolute forbidden place, so the phenomenon of Shenyin was almost never heard of before Miyu. She always thought that it was just a legend that her parents coaxed her.

"If I said yes, would you believe it? Miss Harumi Kamihara?"

"I..." Harumi Kamihara almost didn't dare to continue talking. Under the dark night, a demon seemed to flow out of the forest in front of her at any time.

"If you believe..." Kamiya Koya continued: "Let your family leave Damu Hei Ridge immediately and never come back. Go as far as you go. If you don't believe it, just stay here. Anyway, life belongs to you, I don't care."

Then, she hung up her phone.

He picked up the coffee cup on the table and drank it all, and said to Pei Qingyi and Sima Zhen: "It was Harumi Kazumi who called it. She seemed to believe in the strange story. Iijima Izumi's son, Kazuya Iijima, seemed to have gone to that place. He was the first person to hide the gods, Sakurako Kobayashi's nephew. Is this fate? Or was it a deliberate arrangement of the apartment?"

"This is not important." Pei Qingyi was not interested in Iijima Kazuya's life and death, and just thought further about how to crack these two lists.

"Yes, it's not important." Kamiya Sayako also picked up the list and said, "There must be a reminder and rule of life. These twenty-one people... the memories of those old people are not completely reliable, and it is impossible to know the exact order of the god-infection. However, it can be basically confirmed that except for Miyoshi Kamihara, Kinai Tae-ei, the mother of Kinai Eko, is the closest god-infection man. It always feels strange, why did not appear in the next ten years?"

This is a blank period. Although the old man’s memory may not be reliable, there is a long gap period between Kinai Tae-ei to Kamihara Miyo. Whether it is close to that mansion is not the absolute condition for the Kanyin. Why hasn’t the God Hidden person appear again for such a long time?

"However, during the decade when Shenyin was very frequent, many people left Damuhei Ridge because of fear and moved to another place to live." Pei Qingyi looked at the table and said, "Only some conservative-minded elderly people still stayed in this village where ancestors lived for generations. This seems to be one of the reasons for the serious aging of the village population."

"Yes." Kamiya Sayako agreed: "I walked around the village and found that the proportion of population aging is much higher than I thought. At the beginning, because of fear of encountering the Shenyin, many young people left the village, so the proportion of aging population increased greatly, and the youngest stayed in their forties. Yes, the frequent phenomenon of the Shenyin phenomenon is indeed easy to cause panic. Twenty-one people are equivalent to an average of one or two people in a year. I think if the Shenyin phenomenon was still so frequent four years ago, Miyo Kamihara would not have the courage to do such a thing. Perhaps, he would not have encountered the Shenyin."

"At this point... Miyo Kamihara's situation is a bit special." Sima Zhen suddenly interrupted: "Do you still remember? Masashi Kamihara said that when he saw his wife's clothes in the water, he thought she had fallen into the water. However, other people who encountered Shen Yin were all real evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of it."

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

Pei Qingyi's eyes wide open, and he looked at Sima Zhen with a terrifying look, his mouth opened a few times, and said, "Is it... Kamihara Yachen is a ghost? So he is lying?"

"No." Kamiya Sayako replied: "I think it's too far-fetched to conclude that Kamihara Masako is a ghost based on this point alone. What's more, the point is not who is a ghost, but what's the way of life."

"Well... I understand." Sima Zhen's enthusiasm just poured out was broken.

Then, she brought a table with the names of everyone in the Hasegawa family. Then, she looked at everyone and said, "Don't you feel that there is a very conflicting place in this bloody case?"

"Contradictory?" Pei Qingyi was stunned and said, "Is it related to the testimony of Gentiko Matsuda?"

"No, I'm not talking about the testimony of Matsuda Genti." Kamiya Sayako's slender index finger fell on the name of Hasegawa Takuzo. She had written it into Chinese characters.

"Hasegawa Takuzo, according to our inquiries about the villagers, his impression of him is honest and cowardly. Compared to his younger brother Jingyu, he seems more shrewd and decisive. So, the question is. After discovering his wife's affair, such a man actually took a knife and killed six people in the family and committed suicide. Don't you think it's very contradictory? Does this match a cowardly image?"

"This... is hard to say, right?" Sima Zhen said in disagreement: "What men cannot tolerate the most is the betrayal of their wife, let alone his wife is a woman who can do her best. In "Water Margin", Wu Dalang is honest and cowardly enough. Didn't he go to catch the offenders with Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing? Oh, by the way, you are Japanese, maybe you haven't seen it..."

"I have read the four great classics of China since I was a child..." Shengu Xiaoyezi shook his head and said, "But I remember it very clearly. As a result, Wu Dalang was almost kicked to death by Ximen Qing, and was finally poisoned by Pan Jinlian. Is it Wu Song the one who actually killed them. No matter how angry a person is, he would not kill six people in one go? Moreover, after the killing, he left a blood word to commit suicide. Is this behavior more like Wu Dalang or more like Wu Song?"

For a moment, Pei Qingyi and Sima Zhen were both dumbfounded.

"So... Isn't Takuzo Hasegawa a murderer?" Sima Zhen hurriedly said, "So who is the murderer? Could it be a certain villager?"

Pei Qingyi also thought: "It's really hard to guess. After all, we have too little information. But it shouldn't be one of the seven people? I also think that it's possible that a villager killed the seven people. In other words, maybe the way to live is to find out the truth of the case, and then the ghost will rest in peace. However... this case has long passed the statute of limitations for criminal proceedings. Even if the murderer is found, he cannot bring him to justice..."

"I don't agree with this statement." Kamiya Sayako retorted: "Can twenty-one villagers, Shenyin, but cannot do anything to the villagers who killed them? Of course, it may be said that it is a restriction of the apartment, but if so, why not completely limit it and wait until we arrive before lifting the restrictions?"

"This..." Pei Qingyi had to admit that the words of Sayako Kamiya made sense, and asked: "What do you think is? Miss Kamiya? By the way, I understand! All the people on the list are young people. Why is this? I'm afraid it's because the seven people who were killed themselves don't know who the person who killed them was. Maybe the murderer was covering his face, but it can be judged that the other party is very young, so only the young people will be Shenyin. But as the young people left Damuhei Ridge in large numbers, Shenyin disappeared..."

"No." Kamiya Sayako retorted again: "So how does Miyo Kamihara explain? She is from Kyoto. She was not born for 40 years ago. It is impossible for her to be the murderer of that bloody case."

"Yes, yes...or, Miyo Kamihara isn't Kamihiro? Did she really fall into the water?"

"First of all, we need to know one thing. The murderer was obviously a person who knew about Kasei Hasegawa's affair with her brother-in-law. Those who knew about this could only be sure that Musko Matsuda knew it completely, and she herself completely denied telling others about it. And a week after she witnessed Kasei Hasegawa and Kasei Hasegawa's affair, this bloody case occurred. Is this a coincidence?"

"You mean... the murderer was Mutsuda? No, it's impossible. She was just a little girl at that time. So, she told someone and went to kill..."

Speaking of this, a problem arises.

If Mutsuki Matsuda lied, then who did she tell? Who would she have the motive for murder after knowing this?

"Could it be..." Pei Qingyi shouted in disbelief: "Is it Ah Cheng or Ah Jin? One of the two servants? They are also having an affair with Kasei Hasegawa. If you learn about this, you will most likely be angry and kill Kasei Hasegawa!"

"No," Kamiya Sayako shook her head: "So how do you explain, kill Hasegawa Takuzo and Hasegawa Saena?"

"Then... I don't know. Miss Kamiya, do you have any ideas?"

“My idea is very simple.”

Then, Kamiya Sayako said a reason that made everyone creepy in a cold voice.
