Volume 26 The Night of the Awakening of the Ancient Corpse Chapter 5 The Darkness of the Kiryu Family
, Kyoto City.
On the streets with cherry blossoms, men and women in kimonos can be seen everywhere. In front of the street is a shrine.
It was the hot summer day, and a man and a woman stood in front of the gate of the shrine.
The man had a handsome face, a figure, and was carrying a suitcase, while the woman was wearing a pink kimono and had long hair straight down.
These two are Masako Kamihara and Sayoko Kamiya.
As soon as I got off the plane, I rushed here immediately, and the speed was as fast as possible. Moreover, I had already bought the return ticket.
"Shaoyezi, you..." Yachen looked at Saeko, who was dressed in kimono and looked determined, and asked, "Now, we..."
"At least, I must see my father again in the end." Sayako looked at the shrine in front of her and said in a cold mouth: "At least, I want to ask him in the end, has he really forgotten his mother completely?"
Ayako Kiryu was deeply in love with Takahiko Kamiya and did not accept the chaebol marriage arranged by her father Yujiro, so she insisted on marrying a shrine host. Takahiko Kamiya also married into the Kiryu family after marrying him and changed his surname to Kiryu. However, after Ayako died, he immediately took Sayako to leave the Kiryu family. In fact, there have been rumors that he had traded with some people from the Kiryu family. The other party gave him money and asked him to get out of the Kiryu family and took away the two daughters, on the condition that he would never investigate Ayako Kiryu's death again.
This rumor is an open secret at Kiryu's house, and almost everyone knows it.
The area of the Kanya Shrine is not too large. This shrine, which has been passed down from the Showa period, has been preserved to this day. After all, Kyoto is an ancient cultural capital.
When she entered the shrine, she saw a middle-aged woman in a black kimono standing on the steps of the shrine, carrying an oil paper umbrella for sunshade. When she saw Sayako at first glance, she was surprised.
"Souyeko! And... Mr. Kaguhara?"
Yachen bowed quickly and said, "Madam Shengu, I've been disturbing me before. This time..."
Sayako interrupted him: "I want to see my father. He is in the shrine, right?"
The middle-aged woman in black kimono in front of me was Madam Morimoto Nobuo Morimoto Nobuo Morimoto Nobuo less than a year after losing his wife. The relationship between this stepmother and Nobuo has always been very subtle. Originally, this kind of remarried family relationship is very difficult to deal with, and because of his detective status, Sayako has been running around for many years, he has spent very little time at home.
"You're back..." Mrs. Shinno walked over slowly, stretched out her hand, and was about to touch Mo Xiaoyako, but the latter just asked coldly: "Where is my father?"
Mrs. Shinno's eyes flashed a little dim. She held the oil-paper umbrella and lowered slightly. Then, she turned around and looked at the shrine above the steps and said, "Your father should be taking care of those flowers in the yard."
The economy of the Kamiya Shrine is currently entirely supported by the income of Sayako as a detective. Without this source of income, the shrine would not be able to support it. Therefore, it seems unrealistic for Kamiya Takahiko to collect the money.
In the courtyard of the Kamiya Shrine, a middle-aged man with a little gray hair was building several pots of flower bouquets. When Sayako gradually approached him, Takahiko Kamiya's body was stunned and turned around at any time.
"Sakyako..." Kamiya Takahiko stood up and was about to say something, but he saw Yachen behind Sakiko again.
In the yard, goldfish are playing in the pool. A piece of bamboo pole slowly tilts down, and the water flows slowly out of the bamboo pole. The sunlight sprinkles on the water surface, making it look sparkling.
"It's true that the soba noodles in the shrine are the most enjoyable," said Sayako, clasped her hands together and said, "Then I'll start."
He picked up the soba noodles in front of him with chopsticks, and across the table, Takahiko Kamiya, who seemed a little old, smiled a little relieved: "But... I think it's not as delicious as your mother."
Xiao Yezi's hand holding chopsticks trembled.
"I heard that Lian is in China. Have you met her?"
Xiaoyako swallowed another big mouthful of soba noodles, raised her head, and said, "It seems that Dad, you will also care about Pity occasionally. It's rare. Don't you pour some rice wine? You remember you like to drink it very much."
"Yes, you're right."
"Uncle, I'll do it." Yachen immediately reached out and picked up the jar containing rice wine, helped Takahiko Kamiya's cup fill it, and looked at Sayako a few more times.
"Li can't forgive me, right?" Kamiya Takahiko said with a wry smile: "No, you sisters can't forgive me, right? I haven't visited my mother for so many years, nor have I ever seen Lian."
The atmosphere became a little stiff for a moment.
Takahiko Kamiya picked up the rice wine cup, took a sip, and said, "You should be leaving again soon, right?"
"I bought a plane ticket to China in the evening." Xiao Yezi said calmly with a expression: "This time the commission is difficult, I will stay in China for a long time."
"Is that true? That's it."
After eating, I put down my chopsticks, looked at my father who was still drinking, and the soba noodles that I had hardly touched in front of me, and said, "You can't integrate into the Kiryu family at all, right? No, it should be said that you have long been tired of getting married into the Kiryu family, right?"
My father did not answer, but Yachen was a little surprised.
"Forget it, this is just my reasoning. In fact, there is another possibility, but there is no evidence to support this possibility. Lian, I have never told her. But now, I want to ask you in person."
"Do you still remember your mother? No, to you, is it no longer important? My mother married Miss Shinono a year after she died. You have completely forgotten your mother now, right?"
Kamiya Takahiko's hand was tightly clenched, and her eyes were also wandering, and she kept breathing heavily.
"What do you mean by asking these...?"
"Mother to you..."
"She is dead. Moreover, so many years have passed, is it meaningful to talk about these things? You said I am tired of it? Maybe. I don't want to have anything to do with the Kiryu family anymore. I won't want to do it in this life!"
That's what Kamiya Takahiko answered.
Xiaoyezi picked up the jar of rice wine, poured it on a glass, and said, "Is that so? OK."
She raised her cup and drank it all in one go.
"I have asked what I want to ask. You have completely forgotten your mother's words, so I no longer need you. After this glass of wine, you and me will never have anything to do with each other."
Putting down the cup, she stood up and said, "The soba noodles are delicious. Unfortunately, I won't be able to eat them in the future. Yachen, let's go."
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, a voice came from behind.
"Stop investigating Kiryu's house! Give up, Sayako!"
After hearing this, Xiaoyezi immediately turned around and saw that her father's hand was tightly clenched, as if she seemed to be older than before.
"Of course I know it's dangerous." Xiaoyako sneered: "But I'm different from you. As long as I can find out the murderer who killed my mother, I can pay any price. The murderer is from the Kiryu family, and now that my grandfather's physical condition is getting worse, it's even more so now that my uncle Masato Kiryu takes charge of the Kiryu zaiba. But so what? I knew this from the beginning and then did it. If I give up, I won't start from the beginning."
When she left the shrine, Sayako did not look back.
"Don't you ask your father? Do you know any inside information?" Yachen finally couldn't suppress his curiosity when he walked down the steps and asked, "Also, after all, he is yours..."
"I have found out what I can find. I know very well what Kiryu family has to cover up the sky. So I don't expect to use the law to punish the murderer. From the beginning of entering that apartment, I decided to use it as the biggest sanction for the murderer. No matter who the murderer is, I will not let it go. Absolutely!"
At dusk, Xishan. In front of the Kamiya Shrine, Takahiko Kamiya and his wife Kamiya Nobuo stood side by side in front of the shrine gate.
"She won't come back." Kamiya Takahiko's body was trembling, as if she would fall down at any time. "Like her mother, she is such a stubborn style. Even if she knows what a terrible road ahead, she still plans to go on."
Mrs. Shinono held her husband's hand and said, "Is this okay? Is it really good to just stay out of the matter and watch her do such a dangerous thing? Do you have the confidence to never regret it?"
Takahiko did not answer.
He couldn't answer either. There are many things in this world that don't have any answers at all. Maybe no matter how you choose, it's wrong.
For many years, he had always wanted to forget this nightmare and had always wanted to draw a line with Kiryu's family forever.
He always remembered that day, he answered the answer to his father-in-law, the head of the Kiryu family.
"I want to take them away, at least for this, please agree to me, father..."
He had begged so much.
But the other party rejected him.
"At least one must be left behind. Allowing you to take one away is my bottom line. Ayako is my cherished daughter, and I must keep her blood in Kiryu's house."
But now I think about it, this is just a nice saying. Staying at Kiryu's house is just for surveillance. Yujiro's first consideration for this murder case is to cover up.
In a sense, the entire Kiryu family killed Kiryu Ayako. It can be said that everyone in this family is accomplices. The motive is naturally obvious. In order not to let the Kiryu family's property fall into Kiryu Ayako's hands in the hands of Kiryu Ayako, no one would want to share the inheritance with a si-born daughter. What's more, she is very likely to obtain more inheritance.
When you can enough, people will become devils.
After Sayako boarded the plane, Yachen stayed there. Lian would come back soon, and he had to work with Lian to investigate everything about Yama during the period.
And the new blood word finally began...ro!.
