The time span is as long as 43 years.
The clues and events in the newspapers were sporadic and difficult to connect together. Sakaki Makoto didn't know why his original self collected so many newspapers.
At the bottom of the newspaper, a piece of white paper that was half burned and slightly yellowed caught his attention.
"When the red water overflowed from the crow's nest, dyed the moon red, and finally fell into the abyss..."
"Is this... a code?"
Sakaki Makoto's frill muscles contracted, feeling somewhat puzzled.
This is undoubtedly a code word, and it must be trying to express something.
The handwriting above is exactly the same as the three words "Kanagawa" on the back of the photo frame. It is not difficult to guess that they were done by the same person.
Could it be left behind by the original father?
There was only this sentence on the paper, and the rest of the words had been burned, leaving no clue at all.
Sakaki Makoto suddenly remembered that there were two crow emblems on the pistol in the first drawer.
The code also mentions crows. Is there any connection between the two, or is it hinting at a certain person, family, or organization?
Reaching into his arms, Sakaki Makoto subconsciously wanted to take out his cell phone to check the information about the crow's mark.
I didn't touch anything.
He then remembered that it was 1996 and mobile phones had not yet developed to the point where they could access the Internet. If one wanted to access the Internet, one could only use a computer.
Well, looking at the conditions at home, there are quite a few books, but a computer is out of the question.
Sakaki Makoto put the newspaper and the code paper back, closed the drawer, and sat at the table in a daze.
He was wondering what kind of person his original self was and why there were so many strange things in his house.
As a mystery novelist, it is normal to collect cases, but it is not normal to have a gun.
Could it be that he wanted to emulate a certain genius and committed suicide by shooting himself because he encountered academic difficulties?
You don’t have to swallow two handfuls!
Is your mouth so big?
Gurgle....
Sakaki Makoto shuddered and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
The imminent pain of hunger made his stomach begin to cramp, as if urging him to eat quickly.
I got up and went to the living room, opened the refrigerator, and there were quite a few things inside, including milk, milk, milk, and milk.
Damn it!
Is there nothing else besides milk?!
Sakaki slammed the refrigerator shut in anger.
You are a cow, always drinking milk!
Oh no, cows eat grass...
Sakaki Makoto rubbed his brows. The drop in blood sugar in his body made him irritable and restless. He wanted to take a bite of everything he saw.
In short, I'm just starving.
Drinking cold milk on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and other conditions, and milk does not satisfy hunger.
After searching the house upside down, he couldn't even find a bucket of instant noodles. Sakaki Makoto was completely desperate.
There was no choice but to use my poor wallet.
Either your wallet goes hungry or you go hungry.
There was no need to choose, Sakaki Makoto picked up his wallet and walked out.
