Chapter 1 The Death of the Head of the Yamazaki Family
On a rainy night, a certain old man's mansion.
The brightly lit main house is particularly eye-catching in the dark night. In the living room on the first floor, the guests are in groups, speaking softly and politely. The master, whose right foot is wrapped in plaster, sits in a wheelchair and is pushed by his servants, wandering among the guests. However, there was a person standing quietly against the wall in the corner, with an unobtrusive public appearance and an ordinary black dress, he was definitely the role of a passerby. Yamazaki Misaki, 16 years old, class B, 2nd year, Teidan High School, Mihua Town. Today, I participated in the banquet of this family with my father, the current head of the Yamazaki family, Yamazaki Xian. Watching his father shuttling through the venue, he disappeared after a while like a fish in water. Yamazaki Misaki stood quietly holding a glass of red wine, alone in his own world, as if he was not in the venue.
The rain was getting smaller and smaller, and gradually stopped, and the reception had passed halftime. Suddenly there was a loud bang. At the sound of gunfire, Yamazaki Misaki's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition enveloped him. Looking around, he couldn't see his father and rushed to the place where the gunshot was fired. When I arrived at a room on the third floor, I pushed the door and it was locked. I punched out the lock and broke it, and pushed the door again to enter. The father fell on his back facing the balcony and was shot dead. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were wide open, and I quickly stepped forward to look around. It was pitch black, and no suspicious person was found by the light coming out of the window from the hall on the first floor. I said to the people who followed: "Call the police and protect the scene." Then he jumped And down. There were no footprints on the wet ground after the rain. I walked back to the hall along the window and asked if there was any other exit. I found out the location of the phone again, "I'm Misaki Yamazaki, ask Uncle Feng to answer the phone." After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged male voice said: "Master, my lord asked me to call to find out the situation." "Uncle Feng, my father was killed, The murderer is unknown, but I believe it will be clear soon, please bear with me, Grandpa." "My lord means direct line." "I see." "Where are the guards?" "The four bodyguards should have escaped." "I will deal with it." After hanging up the phone, Misaki Yamazaki returned to the original corner, kept an eye on the door, and waited quietly for the police to arrive.
"Whoo!" The police arrived. A fat policeman in a beige trench coat and a beige garden hat led the team. Gather everyone in the hall to understand the basic situation, and the forensic personnel will investigate and collect evidence on the scene. A few minutes later, someone reported footprints on the ground. When the police asked, Misaki Yamazaki stepped forward and said calmly: "I am Misaki Yamazaki, and that footprint is mine. I looked around under the balcony and found no other footprints." The narration finally proved Yamazaki Misaki's words. The police self-introduction: "I am Megure Police Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division Investigation Section 1, Yamazaki Misaki Hitoshi, the victim Yamazaki Xian is..." "My father." The calm tone of the Megure Police Department sounds a bit cold a feeling of. "Excuse me, can you describe your experience tonight?" Misaki Yamazaki recounted it.
At this time, the owner of the house, the master, shouted in the crowd: "Please, Mumu Police Department, you can't finish, how long are you going to detain my guests, I don't have time to accompany you to do this kind of thing?" The search for evidence." Megure Police Department was not angry, "Okay, okay, sir, so the victim was a guest at your banquet, and Mr. Yamazaki was killed at your place, please bear with me a little longer." Seeing the two talking, Misaki Yamazaki stepped aside to avoid obstructing the police.
After hearing the words of the Mumu police department, the master said angrily: "You mean that the suspect is among us!" Before the Mumu police department answered, a voice came from outside the door, "That's it." The affirmative tone attracted people's attention . Yamazaki Misaki heard the voice familiar, turned his head and looked, a handsome boy wearing a high school uniform walked in, it really was him. I heard in class that he was helping the police with the case, and if it was true, it would save a lot of trouble.
"The murder scene was a secret room with the door locked from the inside. The criminal sneaked in from the next window on the third floor, and then exited through the window.
There was no trace of the criminal under the window. According to this situation, the murder should be committed by someone inside. "The master shouted: "What nonsense! There is at least 10 meters to the window next door, and it is absolutely impossible to jump over. ""If you use the eaves of the next window to walk over, you will be less than 2 meters away from the balcony of Mr. Yamazaki's room. "Hmph, what a naive reasoning, so why does he want to leave like this?" It is 2 meters away from the balcony, and the eaves are only about 10 centimeters away. How could it be possible to jump on it? "The master retorted. Yamazaki Misaki looked at the master, and when he heard what he said just now, the eaves were only about 10 centimeters away. He should be the murderer, but his legs?
The reasoning continued, "When the prisoner came from the next room, he had tied the rope on his body, and when he left, he went back along the rope fixed on the balcony." Mumu Police Department didn't understand, and asked: "But, the rope fixed on the balcony How to untie it?" "It's very simple, Mumu Police Department, tie a stick to the front end of the rope, and then stick it on the balcony, and loosen the stick when recycling. You can go to the balcony and check it, it should be ok I found traces left when the rope was fixed." Megure police department asked again: "But why is Mr. Yamazaki in the closed room?" "Maybe the prisoner told him that he had something confidential and asked him to lock it from the inside, etc. He comes in." Yamazaki Misaki thought, indeed, his father came to ask for debts today, but it seems to have turned into an information transaction.
The master yelled: "Enough, you talk too much nonsense! Who the hell killed my friend Mr. Yamazaki!" There is only one person, and that is..." The Mumu police department said nervously: "That is..." The hearts of everyone were suspended, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
The young man pointed at the master and shouted: "Master! It's you!" Mumu Police Department and everyone suddenly realized. The master was startled and forced a smile: "Stop joking, besides, my feet haven't recovered yet." "There is always only one truth!" The young man picked up the decorative globe behind him that was bigger than his head, and threw it at the master's head. go. The master instinctively moved away and stood on the ground with both feet. The maid pushing the wheelchair exclaimed: "Master, your feet!" Yamazaki Misaki suddenly realized that it was so.
"No, no!" The master panicked for a moment. "Your foot recovered 3 months ago. Isn't it, Megure Police Department!" At this time, Megure Police Department finally showed the demeanor of a police department, "Give up! Your attending doctor told us everything, and, you You have private financial dealings with your good friend, Mr. Yamazaki." The master was in a state of confusion at this moment, and he turned around and wanted to flee through the door. "Don't try to escape!" The boy kicked out the globe, hit the back of the head with a "boom", and knocked the master down on the spot, "GOAL!" Then the master was taken away by the police.
The Megure Police Department sent the boy out, and the case was resolved. The Megure Police Department was very happy, and patted the boy's back vigorously, making a "ba ba" sound, and said: "You have helped me a lot again, Brother Kudo, you always I'm sorry to ask you to do it." I was so sorry that I didn't see it, but Kudo was about to be photographed and fell to the ground. Kudo looked smug, "Where is it?" He put his left hand in his trouser pocket and pointed his right thumb at himself, "If there are any more cases that can't be solved, please come to me, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi." The flashlight maniac flash. Yamazaki Misaki confirmed that the boy was his classmate, high school detective Kudo Shinichi.
Yamazaki Misaki watched Kudo Shinichi get into the police car and leave first, walked out of the hall, stood under the steps at the exit of the hall, turned around and stood facing the steps. The Megure Police Department stepped forward and said, "Please mourn." Yamazaki Misaki waved his hands without speaking, and stood with his head down and eyes closed. Seeing that Yamazaki Misaki didn't speak, the Megure Police Department went back to work, and the guests and reporters left one after another. More than ten minutes after the last reporter left, a shout came from the gate of the mansion: "Stop! Stop! Ah!" "Mumu Police Department, someone broke in! Nine black cars." Behind Memu Police Department A warning from the police in front of the door came from the walkie-talkie.
The Mumu Police Department led people out, stood on the steps, and saw nine cars facing the steps at the exit of the hall, and stopped in an arc. The headlights shone brightly in front of the door, blinding the police department and the others. The light came from behind Yamazaki Misaki, and Yamazaki Misaki who was standing in front of the steps looked more and more gloomy at this time. There was a sound of a car door, and the Mumu police department covered their eyes and eyebrows with their hands and shouted: "Who are you?" At this moment, the lights dimmed, and the Mumu police department looked around and saw about thirty people getting out of the car and forming an arc around the steps In front of it, part of it blocked the light, dimming the light again.
There were three people, one in front and two behind, and the more they came out. Two other people were spreading blankets with black outside and white inside on both sides, and three people stood behind each blanket. The dim light made it hard for people to see what the group of people in black were doing, but it gave off a tense and solemn atmosphere.
It was approaching, and the first one was a middle-aged man, "Hmm! What is he holding?" The Megure police department was startled, and shouted to Yamazaki Misaki who was blocking the entrance of the steps: "Get out of the way!" Just think about it, who Knowing that the middle-aged man bowed behind Yamazaki Misaki and saluted, "Master!" Yamazaki Misaki turned around, and the middle-aged man made way sideways with a black samurai sword in both hands.
The other two tall men saluted and walked towards the Mumu Police Department. Only then did the Mumu Police Department really realize that the two men were taller than themselves at the bottom of the steps. The Mumu police department looked alert, and shouted again: "Stop!" When the two stood side by side under the steps, the Mumu police department found that the line of sight was completely blocked. Suddenly, there was a scream from behind, and Mumu Police Department was stunned for a moment, and then only felt a flash of light in the gap in front of his eyes, and a cry came from behind, "Mumu Police Department!" The policemen on the steps rushed down with their guns drawn.
"Let them come here." A middle-aged man's voice sounded. The two stepped aside, and the Mumu police department looked around. Yamazaki Misaki was standing in the middle with his back to him, holding something in front of his hands. In front of each is a plate containing things like white cloth.
The two men covered their stomachs with their hands, their eyes wide open, maintaining this strange posture. Then the body slowly fell forward, and suddenly there were two soft "bang" and "bang", the Mumu police department and all the police were shocked, the head! It was a human head, and the heads of the two men fell first, onto the white cloth on the plate in front of them. The head on the plate was still facing the steps, its eyes were wide open, but its mouth was wide open, as if silently shouting. Red blood dripped on the white cloth through the white teeth, and the blood sprayed from the neck, staining the white blanket red. The strange thing is that there is not a single drop of blood on the outside of the blanket, and the white blanket is like a bloodthirsty demon with an unusual obsession with blood.
The whole scene, the headless corpse, the bright red blood color, and the strong smell of blood formed a picture of hell, which shocked the Mumu Police Department and all the policemen who came close. All the policemen were stunned on the spot, and the Megure Police Department yelled: "Yamazaki Misaki, what have you done!" The policemen were awakened, raised their guns, and waited for the order from the Megure Police Department. Yamazaki Misaki turned around, and it turned out that Yamazaki Misaki was wiping a samurai sword, with a handkerchief in each hand, wiping the blade with one hand and the handle with the other. The middle-aged man came forward with a black samurai sword scabbard in both hands, and first saluted the Megure police department, "Please wait a moment." Yamazaki Misaki put the knife back into the sheath, folded the white handkerchief and put it in the middle-aged man. The breast pocket of the man's suit, the red one was put in the breast pocket of his suit, it should have been there originally.
Yamazaki Misaki bowed to the Megure police department, turned around with a knife and walked into the car in the middle. The Mumu Police Department was taken aback by his big gift, seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly reached out to grab him, "Hey..." The middle-aged man moved and got stuck in the middle, "You..." "Cough!" The middle-aged man saluted again , "Let me introduce myself, Mine Yamazaki, the current housekeeper of the Yamazaki family." He waved his hand, and one of the people behind him came forward with a stack of papers in his hands, bowed and offered them, and Mine Yamazaki took them over and handed them out, "This is what they signed before. A copy of the contract." The man stepped back to his original position.
The Mumu police department quickly browsed, there are four contracts, to the effect that he volunteers to serve as Yamazaki Xian's bodyguard, the master dies and the soldier dies, and he lives and dies together. There are several seals on it, including a seal representing the Metropolitan Police Department, and a strange seal at the end. There is a mountain peak in the center of this seal, which looks like a mountain character, surrounded by teeth. If you look closely, the mountain character turns out to be in the mouth of a shark skull.
"This, this..." The Megure Police Department was taken aback, "You, you are..." "It seems that the Megure Police Department recognizes this sign, which makes it easier." Shan Qifeng smiled slightly, looking very graceful, but in the eyes The Twilight Police Department looks more like the face of the devil before eating. "Yamazaki Xian is the current head of the family?" Megure's voice trembled a little. "Don't get excited, Mumu Police Department, our young master is very reasonable." Yamazaki-feng waved his hand again, and another person behind him came forward with a stack of papers in his hands, bowed and offered it, and Yamazaki-feng took it over, "This time, both you and I All lucky." The man returned to his original position. Mine Yamazaki paused, stood up straight and said: "My lord ordered 'direct family.'" Then he handed the paper to the Megure police department and said, "According to our information, that guy is alone and has no immediate family members. Here are the information of all relevant personnel Let them declare that they have severed ties with that guy and let them go." The Mumu Police Department seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then, that guy..." Yamazaki said with a smile: "The young master said that the Yamazaki family abides by the law and respects the rules. Don't embarrass him, but don't come out when you go in."
Mine Yamazaki stomped his feet, "And this mansion will not see the sun tomorrow, let your people hurry up." "Don't you want to..." The honest heart of Megure Police Department does not allow this kind of thing to happen , clenched his fists, glared at Mt. Yamazaki, and kept drinking: "No! This is a crime!" "From tomorrow onwards, this land and everything on it belongs to the Yamazaki family." "What!" "You can find The guy confirmed that this guy borrowed the money as a mortgage." "I will."
Yamazaki took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and put it away again, "It starts at zero o'clock, and there are 1 hour and 30 minutes left. Tell the servants here that they can take what they can, but that room cannot be moved, and there is still time left." Don’t make the room look messy when you take things. This is a gift from the benevolent Yamazaki family, tell them to keep it in mind.” The corners of the police department’s mouth twitched, “Ren, benevolent…” “Of course.” Yamazaki replied , "Okay, go as soon as you have nothing to do, we still have things to do." "It's almost done, pack up the remains of these two warriors." Shan Qifeng stepped back a few steps to make room, and said loudly, "Please Be careful, they are respectable warriors."
Police Department Megure returned to the policemen and shouted: "Put the gun away." "Yes!" "Police Department Megure, is that all?" A policeman asked. The Mumu Police Department watched Yamazaki's people cover the two heads with something. It turned out that it was the bottom seat of the box, but the front position was not covered. "These two people really committed suicide, didn't they?" There was an indescribable anger in his tone, "You do what they said first, and I will report these things." "Yes!"
... "The current head of the Yamazaki family"... "Do as they say." "Yes! Administrator Matsumoto." About half an hour later, Police Officer Odagiri visited the head family. "Director, that's it." "That old guy should be going to die of anger." "Mumu..." "Do as they say. They are really 'merciful' this time, compared to what they said before. Let Mu Mu compiled a detailed report, and I don’t need to worry about the rest.” “Okay.” “It’s getting late, you go back, I’m going to rest too.” “Huh?” “The head of the family was killed, that old guy has absolutely no face to invite We, presumably, no one will make fun of ourselves." "Indeed, then I will leave."
It was indeed as Chief Inspector Odagiri said. At Suzuki's house, the Suzuki couple who had already fallen asleep were awakened by the ringing of the phone. After Suzuki Shiro answered the phone, "Tomoko, help me prepare clothes..." and was about to get out of bed. Suzuki Tomoko held him back, "No need to go." "Did you hear that?" "Of course, with such a loud voice, I didn't expect Mr. Yamazaki to pass away." "Yeah, it's really unexpected." "So, Uncle Yamazaki We will let outsiders participate." "Huh?" Suzuki Shiro thought for a while, "Should I inform brother Jijiro?" "No, let him continue playing outside. If he comes back, he might mess up , making Uncle Yamazaki unhappy." "Okay, I will only go to mourn Brother Yamazaki in the future." Tomoko Suzuki pulled the quilt and asked Suzuki Shiro to lie down again, "Go to sleep, you haven't had a good rest these days. ""oh."
A certain mansion, uh, is now owned by the Yamazaki family. The police stood aside, Mine Yamazaki stood next to the car in the middle, and the men in black stood in front of their respective cars, all waiting silently.
"Master," said Yamazaki when Misaki Yamazaki got off the car, "everything is ready." Misaki Yamazaki took out a black coffin from the back of the car, which turned out to be a hearse, and walked into the house step by step. Megure Police Department only felt that the atmosphere became more and more heavy with each step, until Yamazaki Misaki disappeared from sight, as if a heavy stone had been removed from his heart. A few men in black stepped forward and began to pour gasoline and ignite the fire. The fire spread rapidly from the back of the house. After a while, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and slowly burned towards the entrance of the hall. At this time, a figure appeared in the fire, it was Misaki Yamazaki Benevolence. The Megure Police Department watched Misaki Yamazaki walking out step by step through the unsealed firewall. Maybe it was the dead body, and it felt heavier than before. At this time, the three vehicles in the middle passed other vehicles and turned upside down. It turned out that there were three hearses. As soon as Yamazaki Misaki walked down the steps, the fire burned the whole house. Yamazaki Misaki walked to the car in the middle, gently put the coffin in, stepped back a few steps, turned around and stood still. Yamazaki waved his hand to the ground, and the man in black lifted the two coffins from the car, and carried the tidied bodies on the ground into the two coffins respectively. into the car.
Mine Yamazaki walked up to Misaki Yamazaki and stood behind him. Two people holding the box in both hands stood behind him. Other members of the Yamazaki family stood in line. Then, facing the burning house, they mourned for three seconds, and then expressed their gratitude to the public. The police saluted. Megure Police Department and all the police officers returned a salute, and after watching the Yamazaki family members leave, Megure Police Department turned around and shouted: "Cheer up, everyone. The news about the Yamazaki family is forbidden to spread, and don't write it in the report." The policemen Answer loudly: "Yes!" "Okay! Let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department." "Yes!"
In the back of the hearse, Misaki Yamazaki said, "Uncle Mine, does my mother know?" Mine Yamazaki replied, "Yes, master. Miyamoto-sama and Missy will come together." "I hope tomorrow will be a quiet day. "...
