Dark Cave - part 3 - Chapter 11
Guan Jian vaguely remembered that Huang Shiyi had mentioned that she had bought a pair of glowing earrings at Manyuan Commodity Street. The words passed by his ears at the time. Only now did he know that the glowing earrings were actually in the shape of fireflies.
Why did fireflies appear at the scene where Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang died? Why did they appear in his nightmare?
He took out the earrings and found a small product label underneath with a few numbers on it, which must be the product number.
” Auntie, can I take one of Shishi’s pieces of jewelry as a souvenir? ”
Yuji Yamashita has been looking at the sleeping Jiangjing from the window for a long time , his thoughts entangled between Tokyo, Nara, and Jiangjing. In the bustling Tokyo, he saw his father Yamashita Masahiro for the last time; in the ancient and quiet Nara, there are memories of his father Yamashita Masahiro’s growth and retreat; in the mysterious and strange Jiangjing, there is the soul of his father Yamashita Masahiro.
When his father was murdered in Jiangjing and the police investigation gradually reached a dead end, he made up his mind to find out the murderer himself one day. The murder of Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang provided him with an opportunity.
The series of experiments on Guanjian have become a legend in the scientific community. Before Chiba Fumika lobbied him, he had contacted Professor Ren Quan many times. This time, by ” taking advantage ” of Guanjian being listed as a key suspect, he hopes to stimulate the potential in Guanjian’s body and communicate with his soul.
It couldn’t sound more ridiculous .
it is to get others to understand him. Not to mention his other purpose in coming to Jiangjing: in addition to solving the mystery of his father’s murder, he also wants to get to know his father again. Because Yamashita Masahiro himself is a mystery.
the tragedy five years ago , he suddenly received a call from his father’s lawyer. According to the will written by Yamashita Masahiro, the old man’s body should be buried in the ” Fengjie Garden ” of the Wanguo Cemetery in Jiangjing City . What shocked him even more was that his father had already reserved a tomb, tomb number 034915.
Masahiro Yamashita, a ceramic artist who was born and raised in Nara, Japan, has reserved a specific burial site for himself in Jiangjing City, China, thousands of miles away! It seems that my father ” foresaw ” his own death and the place of his death.
He finally began to piece together the pieces: his father loved Chinese culture and art, spoke perfect Chinese, and forced him to learn Chinese. Why did his father do this?
Perhaps the answer to this question could reveal the truth about his father’s murder. But the answer is probably only known by Yamashita Masahiro himself.
Only the key is to have a chance to talk to Yamashita Masahiro.
Near midnight , all members of the research group gathered in front of a small door on the ground floor of the institute. Thinking that he would soon enter the dark and narrow underground passage connecting the institute and the art gallery, Guan’s heartbeat accelerated violently. He could almost feel the dull pain. He said to Professor Ren Quan: ” Professor Ren, if the pain comes to me later, please don’t retreat. I want to see what this pain can do to me. ” Perhaps , as Dr. You Shuliang said, the arrival of pain, like my existence, has a special meaning.
Ren Quan was stunned for a moment: ” Xiao Jianjian , you are not kidding, are you? ”
Guan Jian shook his head and said, ” Professor Ren, I know …”
” Okay, I understand how you feel … You don’t want Xiao Huang to wait too long, right? ” The one who truly understands him is the taciturn Professor Ren.
Sachiko Anzaki said, ” Do n’t worry. I think that if Dr. Toyokawa and I follow Guanjian closely, if Guanjian feels unwell, we can immediately support him or even carry him into the museum. ”
the small door was a staircase leading down, and at the bottom was another door, which had been opened by Kikuno Yuji. It was the meter room of the research institute. Three high-powered flashlights illuminated the dark corridor, but they could not drive away the surging pain.
Similar pain had occurred when Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang were killed, and it was unforgettable. But he still kept his footing, he didn’t want to be knocked down by the pain.
in the middle of the underground corridor . Starting from the research institute, walk about 30 meters to the first door .
” Strange, why doesn’t this iron door have a keyhole? ” Anzaki Sachiko said softly. This door is clearly just a thick iron plate. She felt Guanjian’s body trembling, heard his heavy breathing, and whispered in Guanjian’s ear: ” Mr. Kikuno said: The first door is the most difficult to open. This door is made of fine steel, which can withstand high pressure and high strength. ”
The key point is that even though he was in severe pain, he still realized that Sachiko Anzaki was distracting himself by chatting to help relieve the pain.
Professor Ren said: ” It is not an exaggeration to say that the research institute and the art museum have never had any contact with each other. Moreover, for safety reasons many years ago, the art museum built a wall in the passageway, and no one has ever walked under it. The method of opening this unlocked door has been lost for a long time. ”
The key is that I feel the pain has eased and seems to be disappearing.
Kikuno Yuji had already attached a disc-shaped tool with a diameter of half a meter to the steel door and moved it slowly. The instrument kept making a ” beeping ” sound. Suddenly, the ” beeping ” sound became rapid and continuous . Kikuno Yuji shouted, and Yamashita Yuji, Ren Quan and Toyokawa Takeshi stepped forward and pushed the door hard together. Guan Guan also stepped forward to help, and the steel plate was pushed open!
” Could this be a demagnetizer? There is a magnet inside the door! ” Guan Jian used a flashlight to look at the instrument attached to the steel door.
Sachiko Anzaki said: ” You really like to use your brain. ”
About 30 meters further, there was another iron door with an iron bolt and a fist-sized iron lock on it. It looked quite old. Kikuno Yuji fiddled with it for a while and the iron lock was opened.
walking out of this door, there is a wall in front of you.
Kikuno Yuji and Toyokawa Takeshi walked forward and hurriedly ” pulled ” bricks off the wall , revealing a ” hole ” two meters high and one and a half meters wide . Apparently, in the past two days, the experimental team had already made a hole in the original wall and filled it with new bricks, so that it could be removed at any time .
Guanjian ‘s pain had been fading away, but at this moment he was suddenly hit by another sharp pain. His legs went numb and he fell forward. Anqi Sachiko and Ren Quan leaned over to help Guanjian up. Guanjian raised his head with the help and was suddenly startled.
Anzaki Sachiko casually gathered the long hair that had fallen in front of her forehead. In the dim light, a faint light flashed between her long hair.
firefly!
Guan Jian came forward and involuntarily lifted the hair hanging on Sachiko Anzaki’s cheek with both hands.
” Please don’t …” Anzaki Sachiko said angrily.
The pain disappeared. Guanjian also realized his recklessness and said ” I ‘m sorry ” and asked: ” Ms. Sachiko, where did you get these earrings ? ”
” I bought it in Tokyo … Why did you …” Anqi Sachiko was obviously quite dissatisfied with Guanjian’s ” touching ” . Guanjian wanted to explain, but he thought that there were many people around him and he didn’t ask any more questions.
Yuji Kikuno used fluorescent spray paint to draw three long frames on the floor of Exhibition Hall 4. Two of the frames are in the northwest corner of the exhibition hall, and the other is not far from the entrance of the exhibition hall. Yasaki Sachiko said: ” According to the photo records of that year , what Mr. Yuji Kikuno drew was the position where the body of the deceased was found … ”
Guanjian stared at one of the frames for a long time , then paced in front of the other two frames for a while before saying, ” The one at the door is the Japanese guard. The two bodies in the corner should be the Chinese guard Huang Guanxiong and Mr. Yamashita. ”
There was a hint of excitement in Yamashita Yuji’s voice . ” How could you tell who each body belonged to? ”
” How could I tell ? I’m just guessing. The police must have some basis for naming Huang Guanxiong as a suspect. The body of the old man at the foot of the mountain was next to Huang Guanxiong. It’s possible that Huang Guanxiong killed the old man first and then was killed by his accomplices. ”
” Oh, that’s it …” Yamashita Yuji was a little disappointed, ” Your analysis is good . The bodies lying here are indeed my father and Huang Guanxiong. The police suspect Huang Guanxiong. Another discovery that can be regarded as evidence is that the clothes my father was wearing when he was killed were covered with Huang Guanxiong’s fingerprints and even one or two hairs. There are also my father’s fingerprints on Huang Guanxiong’s windbreaker. ”
” The possibility of a fight? ” This time the key is a little disappointed. If Huang Shiyi has really been trying to clear Huang Guanxiong’s suspicion, isn’t it in vain?
