Dark Cave - part 3 - Chapter 13
Sachiko Anzaki did not speak, so Chiba Fumika said, ” Mr. Guan, I’m sorry that there may be a misunderstanding in our communication. I hope you understand that we don’t want to keep the experimental results secret from you. Every time we collect experimental data, it takes a long time to analyze it carefully and deduce the conclusion carefully. It is unrealistic to tell the conclusion immediately tonight. ”
” But, Mr. Kikuno should give me a reasonable explanation. If we continue to cooperate like this, both of us will suffer. ”
” Especially, what you need least right now is more pain. ” Anzaki Sachiko suddenly interjected. Her voice was very soft, but Chiba Fumika still heard it and looked back at her, asking her to translate this interjection. Guan Jian also looked up at her: What kind of person are you, sometimes cold and aloof, and sometimes considerate?
Chiba Fumika glanced at Anzaki Sachiko reproachfully, then turned back to the key and continued her diplomatic work.
they were about to reach the back door of the institute , Guanjian couldn’t help but stop. In the months before Huang Shiyi was murdered, the two of them walked by this small piece of grass countless times, leaning against each other.
At this moment, only the iron platform not far away looked inexplicably strange under the moonlight.
There was a series of footsteps coming out of the building, and then they followed Guanjian not too far away .
” Ms. Sachiko, thank you for what you said just now. ” It was indeed Sachiko Anzaki behind her.
” I just speak my mind. You know, I am in a position within the experimental group and cannot challenge authority . ”
Key smiled and said: ” Where are you going? ”
” I’ll follow you to Jiangda again. ” Sachiko gave a rare sly smile.
” You … you want to go to your mother’s dormitory? ”
” I almost fooled you, ” said Anqi Sachiko, walking side by side with him. ” This time I finally have the opportunity to come to Jiangjing, so of course I have to get close to my mother. ”
“ Are you a student? ”
” Kyoto University, major in Oriental Art History. ”
” Sachiko! ” Toyokawa Takeshi’s earnest voice came from behind .
Anqi Sachiko made a face to Guanjian , turned around and nodded: ” Mr. Toyokawa, what can I do for you? ”
Toyokawa Takeshi said a few words with a gentle look on his face that he only showed in front of Sachiko. Sachiko shook her head slightly, then nodded politely, and turned back to Guanjian.
Guanjian turned around and saw Toyokawa Takeshi still standing in front of the building, his long windbreaker and flowing hair blowing in the evening breeze, looking a bit like a hero (snubbed by a beauty) looking lonely. However, the look Toyokawa Takeshi gave Guanjian seemed to be full of fire and thorns.
The two walked silently to the bus station , and Sachiko suddenly said: ” It’s rare that you can endure it until now without asking. ”
” What do you want to ask? ”
” What did Toyokawa Takeshi say? ”
” You two’s private affairs may also involve emotional issues. Am I that gossipy? ”
” He doesn’t want me to go home tonight. ” For some reason, Guan Guan felt that Sachiko’s voice was very cold when she said this.
” Oh … why are you telling me this? To be honest, I don’t want to know. ” The key answer was just as cold.
” It’s simple. I want you to trust me. ”
The key thing is to keep his mouth shut. He is unwilling to make promises that cannot be guaranteed.
Finally, Anzaki Sachiko spoke gently, ” I must keep a certain distance from you in front of others. Deep down, I hope to gain your trust. Only mutual trust can help you and the investigation of the two cases. ”
I really can’t see how trust in you has anything to do with investigating the murders of Shishi and Chu Wenguang.
” I promise you, I trust you. But I also hope you will be honest with me. Trust must be mutual, right? ” This is what Guan Jian wanted to say in silence. He felt that the two people’s requirements for each other were too idealistic.
She looked into his eyes and nodded sincerely.
” Let me ask you a simple question. Where did the firefly earrings come from? Shishi … my girlfriend also has a pair. ”
” You need to study hard. ”
” There’s no course called ‘ Female Accessories ‘ in medical school … I wouldn’t have passed it if there had been one. ”
” I mean to catch up on the lessons related to our investigation. Yamashita Masahiro’s most famous ceramic work is called “Fireflies Facing Each Other”. The main body of the ceramic is a streamlined pottery similar to a vase, with a firefly lying on each end, facing each other from afar. Experts unanimously appraised that this work of art, especially the production of the two fireflies, from molding to glazing, is exquisitely crafted. The most amazing thing is that the two little bugs seem to have spirits …”
” That’s too much ! What’s that expression? ”
” Helpless, sad, sorrowful , that’s about it, and it fits with Yamashita Masahiro’s consistent style. After the success of “Fireflies Facing Each Other”, a merchant reached an agreement with Yamashita Masahiro to make earrings with the images of the two fireflies for sale, and it really sold like hot cakes. ”
Bayusheng’s main task at the police station this time was to solve the two major cases, and he also had to help Officer Chen with some daily administrative and business work, but he worked until midnight every day and seemed to spend a lot of time reading, looking up information, and reading cases and old reports. He also spent a lot of time on the Internet, mainly looking up various information, and even visiting many foreign websites.
” If you want to see any treasure , don’t hide it. I can’t read these foreign words. ”
” I am increasingly convinced that the term ‘ Top Ten Haunted Places in Beijing and Jiangnan ‘ was not originally created by that little girl named Ouyang Shan. ”
Officer Chen’s words brought him back to reality: ” No way, could it be that foreign websites also published these things about Jiang Jing? ”
” That’s true. I searched for an old article, which is part of the memoirs of a British missionary. He mentioned that in the late 1940s , he worked as a priest in a Catholic church in the old British Concession in Beijing. He said that for some reason, folk legend has it that the church is one of the famous haunted places in Beijing. ”
” Our Lady’s Church? It ranks seventh among the ‘ Top Ten Haunted Places in Jiangjing ‘ . ”
” I asked Ouyang Shan yesterday where she heard about the ‘ Top Ten Haunted Places ‘ . She mentioned an old legend from before the liberation. I am most afraid of hearsay, so I am thinking of going to the library tomorrow to check old newspapers. ” At the same time , I also want to learn more about what the plan was for the Japanese experts to come to the Institute of Chinese and Western Medicine and cooperate with Ren Quan and Guan Jian. ”
” We’ll just ask them tomorrow . I don’t think they’ll dare to lie to us. ”
” No, I’ll go tonight. But I won’t go to them. ”
As he crossed the high cement threshold of the old anatomy building, Bayu Sheng used his flashlight to shine on the large lock that had been recently hung on the door. ” Old Chen , look at this. ”
” It’s been pried open before, who has the guts to do that …”
” Maybe it’s those Japanese friends. ” Bayusheng took out a key and unlocked the door. ” Obviously, they are trying to find the murderer just like us, and they think these two cases are related to the ceramic artwork robbery and murder case five years ago. I even believe that Guanjian will come here again, so we should keep a close eye on him. ”
Masahiro Yamashita ( November 5 , 1918 – October 19, 2001 ) was a Japanese ceramic artist and poet of the Zounisha school . He grew up in the countryside of Nara and returned to Nara in his later years to continue his ceramic art creation. In October 2001 , he was robbed and killed in a ceramic art exhibition in Jiangjing City, China .
Masahiro Yamashita had a strong interest in art in his early years. During his university years, he began to study ceramics as an amateur. He studied under the famous Kyoto artist Yagi Issou and became friends with Yagi Kazuo, the eldest son of Yagi Issou. His early practice was deeply influenced by Yagi Issou’s traditional Chinese ceramic style. Yamashita Masahiro worked as a doctor in his youth. When he began to create professional ceramics in his middle age, it was the time when the ” Zuni Society ” school founded by his good friend Yagi Kazuo and others was on the rise. Yamashita Masahiro did not push the avant-garde Westernization trend of the ” Zuni Society ” to the extreme. Instead, while believing in the purpose of the ” Zuni Society ” to innovate, he actively integrated tradition and innovation, and created works such as “Nothing to Think About”, “The Waning Moon”, and “Fireflies Looking at Each Other”, which established his status as a master. His works have a fairly unified mood, and the distant sadness and recollection of the past run through his ceramic works and poetry works.
Masahiro Yamashita, who loves Chinese culture, includes a large number of Chinese poems in his poetry works in addition to waka and haiku.
his later years, Yamashita Masahiro was devoted to the cultural and artistic exchanges between China and Japan. After his death, he was awarded the title of ” Honorary Citizen of Jiangjing City ” by the mayor of Jiangjing City, and a golden key of Jiangjing City was buried in the International Cemetery in Jiangjing. —— “Japanese Art Dictionary”
