Chapter 97 You Shouldn't Be Afraid of Me Hatamoto Gozo's eyes he was just marrying into the wife's family, a hatamoto boy was still a hatamoto after all. His identity as a capitalist made him alert for a moment! Is this a personal grudge, or is it a revenge specifically directed against their hatamoto family? He subconsciously turned his head to glance at the groom in the shrine, but quickly looked away. Although Hatamoto Takehara's surname was Zaishiro, and his father Zaishiro Nagata's company was also ruined by himself, he was in front of him throughout the wedding, so it couldn't be him. Thinking of this, Hatamoto Gozo strode down the stairs and said, "Call the police and take me over to have a look." Xia You was extremely reluctant to go back, but he could not refuse his master's request, so he had to lead the way. Su Beixun looked down at Jiang Shouhuang, who had been nervous since a while ago, and said after thinking for a while: "Let's go too." "what?" Jiang Shouhuang was stunned.
But Su Beixun forced him to follow without any explanation. Only by being familiar with death can you create death. I forgot about this when I killed the hatamoto boy just now, but it's not too late to make up for it now. Soon, a group of people arrived at the scene. then…… Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of retching! Through the not-so-spacious entrance, a messy toilet came into view. The hatamoto boy had his hands folded, his feet hanging in the air, and his whole body was nailed to the wall. His wrist was cut almost in half with a hideous wound, and the splattered blood formed bloody mist-like red spots on the ceiling, walls and floor. The small space was as bloody as a slaughterhouse! Although Hatamoto Gozo's face looked very ugly, he did not behave inappropriately. He took a deep breath and frowned as he looked at Hatamoto Donan. Because, on the right side of the hanging body, three English words were written from top to bottom in dark red blood: GIN! "Gin?" Hatamoto Gozo was lost in thought. As the head of one of the top conglomerates, he had some knowledge of Japan's underground organizations and had some contact with the one code-named after the wine, but he always kept a distance from them. This murder did not seem like something their organization would do, as such a horrific death was not in line with their style. However, the murderer is undoubtedly related to them! Hatamoto Gozo thought it would be a good idea to find an opportunity to ask. …… Jiang Shouhuang, who also saw the scene, felt his stomach churning and he immediately turned his head away, but Su Beixun had already held his head down from behind.
Even so, the little fat boy closed his eyes tightly. Su Beixun looked at the crowd around him and did not force him any further. Instead, he picked him up and walked outside. "Open your eyes." After leaving him outside the house, Su Beixun lifted Jiang Shouhuang's eyelids with his fingers and said, "He has left." Jiang Shouhuang felt himself being picked up and moved, so he narrowed his eyes to test it out, and only when he saw the emerald green grass did he completely relax. "how do you feel?" Su Beixun squatted down and touched his head. But the little fat man took two steps back in horror. After touching nothing, Su Beixun smiled instead: "Why are you afraid of me again? I said, I won't hurt you." But Jiang Shouhuang still avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him. "……Alright alright." Su Beixun sighed. He just put his hands on his knees, one meter away from Jiang Shouhuang. "Even if you are afraid of me, you must have a reason." reason? Isn't it obvious! Jiang Shouhuang pursed his lips, but still mustered up the courage to say: "...Because, you killed someone...Shouldn't I be afraid of you..." His voice was very low, but fortunately I could hear it clearly. "Ah, a hatamoto boy, I know." Su Beixun looked at him and asked seriously, "But what is your relationship with this hatamoto man?" The little fat boy was confused: "...relationship?" "Yes, relationship." Su Beixun nodded, pointed at him and then at himself, and guided him little by little: "Just like you and I... We are brothers connected by blood, and we are also a close family to each other." What he said was natural and sincere, completely ignoring his shameful behavior of forcibly putting a collar on Jiang Shouhuang. “I have always believed that there is a closeness or distance between people.” "Just like Hatamoto Dounan, he is just an outsider. You have no relationship with him, and you have only met him today... So, what does his death have to do with you?" The little fat man was stunned and somewhat incoherent: "But... killing people... is not right... you... are a bad person." "OK, let's not talk about whether killing is right or wrong for now." Su Beixun waved his hands, stared at him and asked: "If I tell you that Ogura Junxia, your mother, has also killed someone, will you hate her as much as you hate me?" "Impossible!" Jiang Shouhuang was irritated and yelled, "My mother would never do such a thing!"
Su Beixun smiled and said, "What if I put the evidence in front of you now?" Jiang Shouhuang was stunned. He raised his head and saw Su Beixun's determined face. "Do you want to see it?" Su Beixun took out a photo and turned his back to him. The white back made Jiang Shouhuang dizzy. "Are you going to get mad at her just because she killed someone you didn't know?" The fat boy opened his mouth but couldn't speak. "You see, people are always different in terms of closeness and distance. You hate me when I kill someone, but you feel differently when it's Ogura Junka." "So, you are afraid of me because I killed someone, but that is definitely not the whole reason. You are afraid of me because your feelings for me have not reached that stage yet, and you don't believe that I won't hurt you." "In other words, you're just worried about your own safety." Su Beixun was smiling there with ill intent. The reason why selflessness is so highly praised is that so few people actually practice it. Although it is always advocated to help the right rather than the relatives, if we ask ourselves, in reality helping the relatives rather than the right is the mainstream. What's more, Jiang Shouhuang is just a mentally retarded child who hasn't learned many principles. So…… Can he make the right choice between family affection and morality in the eyes of others? How can it be! In the young world of children, parents are more important than anything else. "Killing is wrong, don't kill"... For a child of Jiang Shouhuang's age, this is just a slogan instilled into his mind, just like "Don't eat candy, you will get cavities", and he has no understanding of his own. Therefore, when reason conflicts with emotion, the correctness of the reason is naturally lowered. "You'll forgive her, won't you?" Su Beixun pressed on: "Even if your mother really killed someone, you still love her and still want to be close to her." "If what happened today was all done by Ogura Junka, would you hate her?" Jiang Shouhuang was completely stunned. Su Beixun quickly put away the landscape photo in his hand. "By the same token, why are you afraid of me because I killed the hatamoto boy? I am your relative, right?" He stretched out his hands to hug the other person, and his words were full of temptation: "My dear brother, I will not harm you." He assured again.
"Never hurt the people who truly love you because of people who don't matter to you." Is that right? Jiang Shouhuang didn't know... The strong sense of separation surged into his heart again, making Jiang Shouhuang confused and dazed, not knowing what was right. only…… When Su Beixun pulled her into his arms again. He didn't struggle anymore... …… Soon, the police who received the report arrived by plane. But looking at the bloodstained scene, the leading police officer felt like he had no idea where to start. "Take photos first... then take the body down, and try not to damage the marks on the floor and walls." The inspectors took a lot of effort to move the hatamoto boy out of the toilet. "Officer Usa." After an examination, a police officer said: "The cause of death should be excessive bleeding, and there is no sign of struggle, so he should have been in a coma... But whether it was sleeping pills or anesthetics, we will have to wait for the autopsy to get a conclusion." He pointed at the wrist of the hatamoto boy and said, "This should be his fatal wound." Officer Usa took a look and then looked away without leaving a trace. Because of the hanging, the cross-section of the wrist had not only the smooth blade marks, but also blood and flesh fibers produced by tearing and pulling. This scene really challenges the physiological limits of normal people. He nodded to signal the inspectors to take the body back for autopsy. Officer Usa looked around the scene and reasoned, "It seems that when Mr. Hatamoto came here to use the toilet, he encountered the murderer and was unfortunately brutally killed by him..." As he watched, he suddenly thought of a key to solving the case! So he asked, "Where are the people on the island now?" In his opinion, with such a large amount of bleeding, it was impossible that the murderer did not have any stain on his body. The murderer must have had his head and face covered in the victim’s blood! Therefore, he decided to review all the people as soon as possible and check them one by one with luminol reagent. After all, even if the clothes can be destroyed, the blood on the body cannot be dealt with in a short time! Cleaning it is no use! Hatamoto Shoji, who had been following the police, replied, “Everyone is around the shrine now.” Usa nodded. He returned to the shrine with a few police officers. After a quick glance, he asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Maybe." Hatamoto Shoji also looked around and said, "The number of people around here is roughly in line with my estimate. All the people I remember are here... but there are quite a lot of people after all. If you want to be specific about each person, I can't be sure." Yusa said to a police officer nearby: "Send someone to check the island and gather everyone here." A police officer took the order and left. Yusa stopped him and said, "Also, look around to see if there's any blood-stained clothes... Don't ignore the sea near the shore!" After saying this, he signaled his subordinates to use cotton swabs to apply luminol reagent to the guests present, focusing on the hands and cheeks. While waiting, Usa asked again, "Mr. Hatamoto, do you know any ways to leave this island?" “This… is a lot!” Hatamoto Shoji explained: "It is surrounded by the sea, so any yacht can come and go freely... Although we have patrol officers, it is not enough compared to the size of the entire island. After all, no one usually comes here." Therefore, it is not certain that the murderer has already left Hatamoto Island. Officer Usa took out his cell phone and contacted someone to block off the nearby waters. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. ——In his opinion, this case is quite clear! …… Su Beixun smiled and stretched out his hand. The officer in front of him nodded kindly in response. He applied the moistened cotton swab to the palms and backs of Su Beixun's hands, and then to his cheeks and forehead. Nothing has changed. This is natural. Su Beixun first nailed the hatamoto boy to the wall by stepping on something to step on. The amount of bleeding during this process was very small and the blood did not splatter everywhere. Then he put on gloves, dipped his hands in the blood and wrote the three letters "GIN" on the wall. Then, use two boning knives to cut into the left and right wrists in half, allowing the blades to get stuck in the flesh. Although the amount of bleeding during this period is heavy, it can be avoided if you are careful. Then put away the things used as footrests. Then tie a piece of silk thread to each of the two knife handles. Finally, he exited the toilet and held the silk thread to put the two knives back into the space. Yes, his space can only accommodate inanimate objects through personal touch, but by extending the contact with inanimate objects, he can accommodate things that are indirectly touched. The police officer handed Su Beixun a wet wipe, indicating that he could wipe off the luminol reagent on his body. Then, he bent down and repeated the operation on Jiang Shouhuang.
After making sure there was no problem, Su Beixun pulled Jiang Shouhuang to another team of people who had been tested. "what happened?" Looking at the absent-minded Jiang Shouhuang, Su Beixun squatted down and wiped his face carefully, teasing: "Why are you feeling guilty? Looking at your expression just now, you look like a murderer being questioned by the police. If you were not just a child, you would have been suspected a long time ago." The little fat boy was unhappy: "...Nothing." He had not yet recovered from the verbal assault that had just occurred. Su Beixun wanted to speak again. But an anxious voice beside him interrupted him. "Xiao Huang! Xiao Huang!" Ogura Junka trotted over and hugged her son. She looked left and right, and was relieved only after not finding any damage, her eyes a little red. God knows how worried she is! She was strong-willed enough to allow her son to stay with a murderer. They had been inside the shrine the whole time. After hearing about the murder discovered in the restroom, Ogura Junxia was worried about Jiang Shouxiang and wanted to rush over to find someone. But Jiang Shouzhe knew that it was Su Beixun who did it and didn't want to get involved and cause trouble, so they didn't reunite until now. Jiang Shouyang's nose felt sore, and he forced a smile: "I'm fine, mom, I'm fine..." Jiang Shouyi's expression was also moved, but he did not give up his dignity as a father and just stayed quietly by the side. Jiang Shouzhezhi looked at Su Beixun with a questioning look in his eyes. Su Beixun gave him a reassuring look in return. as predicted. An hour later, everyone was checked, but no one was found to have a blood reaction. Officer Usa frowned, "Are you sure there's no one else on the island?" "Yes, Officer!" The police officer next to him replied: "We have searched carefully. Everyone on Hatamoto Island is here now... and no blood-stained clothes have been found so far." Officer Usa was helpless: "This is bad, the criminal has indeed escaped from the island! There is nothing we can do but search along the sea." As for the three letters "GIN" next to the deceased, Usa thought they were of no help in solving the case. Because it is obvious that this is the trace left by the murderer! It could be his mark of crime, it could be his reason for killing, but it certainly could not be a clue to solving the case. "Just leave your personal information and you can leave. We will contact you again if we need anything!" Officer Usa shouted.
