Chapter 12801288 [The Messenger of Justice]
Jiang Xia reached out to take the photo and looked down at it.
The photo is a bit old. It is a photo of Hozuki Tokuma and an old lady. The two are sitting side by side on a bench in the park. The old lady is wearing a kimono and has a kind expression. She must have been a beauty when she was young. Even now that she is old, you can still vaguely see her outline. "Mizuko" is written on the back of the photo, which should be the old lady's name.
He put away the photo and nodded to the police officer: "Okay."
The police officer avoided the errand and thanked the hard-working high school student in his heart while planning to return to his workstation.
At this time, Hattori Heiji remembered something and pulled him back: "By the way, in this case, you can do us a favor as well."
Young police officer: “…Ah?”
"Don't forget what Jiang Xia said just now - since Mr. Fa Yue is a fifth-degree master in kendo, it should not be difficult for him to deliver a fatal blow when the opponent is off guard. And when we were at Shiromachi Station, I remember he carried a cane with him, but when he went to the crime scene to identify the witness, the cane was gone."
The more Hattori Heiji thought about it, the more he felt that this seemingly simple case actually had a hidden story: "When you investigate, focus on Mr. Hozuki's itinerary today and the surveillance at various stations along the tram line. Also, remember to check the relationship between him and the victim of the fraud."
"..." The young police officer still didn't think that Fayuedema would be the murderer, but after listening to the detective's detailed explanation, he felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.
He changed his mind and thought that it would be good if he could prove Fa Yue De Ma's innocence through investigation, so he nodded and finally had some motivation to investigate: "I understand."
…
Camellia Park is a few stops away from the police headquarters.
Several high school students left the building full of police officers, boarded the tram, and watched the famous attractions recede away from them under the painful gaze of Yuanshan and Ye.
After a while, the car stopped in a relatively quiet residential area.
After searching along the direction, they saw the place where Fayuedema often appeared.
Camellia Park looks quite simple, only half the size of a playground, with simple fitness facilities such as parallel bars. Rather than a "park", it is more like an open space for nearby children to play.
At this time, there were many children in Camellia Park.
They were gathered together, looking up at an old man in front of them.
That person was Fa Yuede Ma.
He was pushing a bicycle with an old and quaint wooden box on the back seat. In the middle of the box there was a window, revealing a simple painting.
The old man's powerful voice came, and he looked like he was playing a villain: "Hahaha, now the earth is mine!"
Then his tone changed again: "I will not let you succeed! - Evil Dark King, accept the punishment of justice!" As he said that, Fayuedema waved a pair of crutches in his hand and gestured a special move.
Several high school students were watching from afar, and Suzuki Sonoko was amused: "He looks so energetic, he doesn't look like a man in his seventies." Just like her uncle who jumped up and down every day and shouted that he wanted to compete with Kidd.
Yuanshan Heye nodded: "He comes to the park every day to perform dramas for the children and also practices kendo. He must be in good health."
…
The paper drama that Fa Yue De Ma is performing is originally a down-to-earth street performance art. The props used are not complicated, but it is very interesting for children.
The wooden box used in the paper drama looks like a mini stage when unfolded. A set of pictures with coherent plots are inserted into the card slots on the side of the stage. The pictures will appear one by one in the center of the "stage". The pictures on the front face the audience, and the scripts on the back face the narrator. After telling the story, one by one is taken out, just like a living picture book integrated with performance, which is very popular with children.
The audience of paper drama is mainly children, so the length is generally not too long.
When the high school students arrived, it was just the end of the play. The warriors of justice defeated the evil dark king, and the play ended. A group of children stood up contentedly, said goodbye to Fa Yue De Ma, and ran away to play somewhere else.
Fa Yue De Ma turned around to tidy up the small wooden box "stage". After closing the lid, he felt that there were a few more people next to him. He turned his head in confusion and saw a few familiar high school students.
"It's you." Fa Yue De Ma said with a smile, "Why are you here? There is nothing worth seeing here."
Jiang Xia looked at him and didn't quite agree with this. In fact, he thought the scenery here was quite nice.
Fa Yue De Ma always felt that the detective's eyes were a little strange. When Jiang Xia looked at him, the smile on his face gradually became stiff: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses, took out the photo the police officer had given him, and handed it over in a friendly manner:
"This is the photo you lost, right? We just encountered another case, and when we went to the police station to take a statement, an officer said you lived nearby, so we wanted to come and take a look."
When Fa Yuede Ma heard that they were just passing by, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the photo, looked down, and saw the woman in the photo. He couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic expression: "Thank you very much."
Seeing his expression, several girls couldn't help but become curious: "Is this your wife?"
Fa Yue De Ma smiled and shook his head: "I dreamed that she would be my wife. It's a pity that she passed away a while ago."
“……”I didn’t expect that this would be a sad love story that was hard to get.
Mao Lilan felt that she shouldn't bring up this topic, so she said hesitantly, "Well, please accept my condolences."
Fa Yue De Ma, on the other hand, was more open-minded. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone has their ups and downs. That's just how life is. At our age, we are actually used to people leaving us."
Although he said that, a strong murderous aura emanated from him, which smelled like old wood and cardboard.
The mermaid floated over, shaking her tail, grabbed a strand and pulled it gently, feeling that it was quite tough. She turned around and whispered to Miss Spider that maybe this could be used to weave clothes.
The joys and sorrows between humans and ghosts are not the same.
To the people around, this topic seemed a bit heavy. After all, those high school students were a bit shy, and since they hadn’t found any evidence yet, they didn’t say anything more and left quickly.
…
"How about we go look for a cane nearby?"
Hattori Heiji felt that it was really boring to wait, so he thought: "I heard that Mr. Hozuki got off the bus at this stop and went to the police station to provide eyewitness clues that he 'saw Huangmao killing someone'.
"Let's assume that he is the murderer, and the cane that disappeared once is the murder weapon. If we want to get rid of the murder weapon, the most likely places are the crime scene, the tram line, and here."
