"It's a pity that it didn't take long for us in the silent film industry to become more and more popular with sound movies, just..."

Speaking of here...

Qingchi Lijia just sighed deeply and didn't continue speaking. There was even a hint of sadness on her cheeks, but even if you think about it, you know that when the sound movie became popular, these silent movie professionals People will lose their jobs...

Chapter 1816 Doubts about the case twenty-two years ago

"In those days, if it wasn't for the popularity of sound movies, Genjirou and I would not have lost the silent film jobs that we love each other, and we would not have returned to Okayama Prefecture's Ghost Head Village due to unemployment, and neither would Genjirou later. It's such a miserable death..."

"So, I hate sound movies."

In the lobby of Kame-no-yu, when they heard the proprietress Aochi Rika say this, Yunfeng and Fujimine Yukiko couldn't help but sigh secretly. After all, the times are progressing and science is developing, not just silent movies, but many industries. Gradually eliminated in the increasingly developed life, this is a kind of inevitability of survival, but for her mood, the two are still very understandable.

At this moment, Taro Fujimoto suddenly came to the lobby, and looked at Rika Aoike with a look of hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Qingchi Lijia thought he had some secret police work to discuss with Yunfeng and others, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

However, after seeing the proprietress closing the door and leaving, Fujimoto Taro couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice with a complicated expression: "Officer Yun, Officer Fujifeng, I... my subordinates thought of a very possible doubt and wanted to talk to him about it. Report the two of you..."

"Oh? Inspector Fujimoto, have you found any clues about Dororo Hoan's disappearance and Yura Yasuko's death?"

Hearing Yun Feng's curious question, Taro Fujimoto shook his head and said solemnly: "What I want to report to the two police officers is actually about the murder of the big liar, Onda Jisan many years ago. To tell you the truth, In the past twenty-two years, I have actually always had a doubt in my heart, that is, is the person who was killed in the village chief's public house really Rika's husband Aoike Genjirou?"

Hearing this, not only Yunfeng, but also the sensitive Fujimine Yukiko understood what Fujimoto Taro meant.

After all, according to what they know, on that night twenty-two years ago, Aoike Genjirou went alone to find the big liar, Onda Jisan, who was staying in the village chief's public house. After the killer was killed, the corpse fell face down on the brazier in the house. The entire corpse's cheek was burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Coupled with the figure of Aoike Genjirou, it seems to be similar to the figure of Onda Jisan...

And when the first witnesses, Aochi Rika and Dororo Fangan arrived, the murderer Onda had already slipped away...

Therefore, what happened in the village chief's public house that night can only be analyzed based on the dead body of Aoike Genjiro.

And the reason why it was identified as Aoike Genjirou's body was because it was wearing the clothes he wore when he left "Kame no Yu".

But you know, the clothes...that can be changed, and the deceased was burned beyond recognition by the brazier.

In many typical cases, this can be used by the murderer as the best favorable condition for "stealing the pillars and hiding from the sky".

Come to think of it, this is the doubt that Fujimoto Taro said.

Sure enough, he just listened to the old inspector's serious analysis word by word: "Officer Yun, Officer Tengfeng, do you think that the people who were killed in the village chief's public house that night twenty-two years ago, Is it really Aoike Genjirou?"

"No...no, this argument is not unique, because the face of the deceased has been burned beyond recognition by the brazier."

"Therefore, there is another argument that the murderer is not the big liar Onda Jisan, but actually Genjiro Aoike, the owner of 'Kame no Yu', after killing Onda Jisan in turn, he made clothes with the corpse. Exchange, and then press the cheeks of the corpse into the brazier at the scene of the house, so that a 'dead ghost' will be easily created?"

"After that, did the real murderer, Genjiro Aoike, run away with a lot of money that Ontian Jisan cheated?"

After hearing Taro Fujimoto's analysis, Yunfeng couldn't help but nodded, because there was a possibility, but he added in a low voice: "Inspector Fujimoto, if this is the case, then the proprietress of Kaminoyu is very May be suspected of ignorance.”

Judging from the previous understanding, Aochi Rika and Aochi Genjiro had a very good relationship back then, so if we speculate logically, if Aochi Genjiro was going to run away after killing Onda Jisan, he should quietly tell his wife about it.

"No...no...no! Officer Yun, I believe Li Jia must not know about this!!!"

Yun Feng's voice just fell, and Fujimoto Taro said very excitedly: "You and the police officer Fujimine should also know from the contacts in the past two days that Li Jia really misses her deceased husband very much, and that kind of truthful expression is a lie. No one, she is innocent!"

"As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. If the murder case was really reversed, then it must be the guy Aoike Genjirou who did it himself, and then carried his wife and children with him from Onda Jisan. The ill-gotten gains that came, run away!"

In response to this, Yun Feng waved his hand and smiled: "Inspector Fujimoto, don't be so nervous, I'm just talking casually."

It seems that Taro Fujimoto, the old inspector, is really interested in the widow Aoike Rika, so he will protect her so much.

But what the other party said was also correct, even if Yun Feng used his micro-expression skills to see that Qingchi Lijia's thoughts about her deceased husband were true.

After hearing Yunfeng's words, Taro Fujimoto breathed a sigh of relief, and said matter-of-factly again: "Alas, it's a pity that I was just a young boy back then, no one would listen to my opinion, and neither did Genjiro Aoike. Things like photos, even if I go back, I can’t investigate at all, and in the end, the murder incident twenty-two years ago has become a big regret in my heart.”

Hearing this, Yukiko Fujimine, who had been sitting quietly with Yunfeng, couldn't help but asked curiously, "Hey, I heard from the proprietress earlier that Genjiro Aoike was a very famous silent film narrator in Kobe and Osaka. Why are there no pictures?"

"Precisely because of this, there are no photos left..."

Hearing Yukiko's question, Taro Fujimoto couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "Back then, Genjiro Aoike's parents were very decent people, but to put it bluntly, they cared about their own face very much, so they were very opposed to their son engaging in silent film commentary. It was a clowning profession that was considered by most people at the time to be grandstanding. Therefore, after Aochi Genjiro and his wife Aochi Rika returned to Guishou Village to settle down, his parents burned all the photos so that their son could inherit Turtle soup, live honestly."

Chapter 1817 The identity of the skinny old woman

Today's "Kame no Yu" dinner time is very early, because after dinner, Aochi Rika has to go to the funeral of Yura's family.

The Yura family is one of the two major families in the ghost head village. After the unfortunate death of Yura Taiko, a grand funeral ceremony will naturally be held.

Tonight, basically every family in the village will go to Yura's family to attend the funeral. Lijia Qingchi is no exception, and Yunfeng and Tengfeng Yukiko also decided to go together. After all, the people in this village are very enthusiastic. , they can not lose their courtesy.

……

At around eight o'clock in the evening, in the mourning hall established by the good family.

Yunfeng and Youxizi, like the villagers who came to attend the funeral, all wore black and white coarse linen clothes. This is the standard costume for funerals in Guishou Village. Just on the body.

In front, a monk in a monk's robe is seriously doing a ritual for Yura Taiko in the coffin. This once again makes Yun Feng secretly feel that Guishou Village is only a small wilderness village that is almost isolated from the world, but it is What kind of characters are there.

In addition to the monks, there are also many professional villagers who spontaneously help the Yura family hold funerals. For example, the proprietress of Kame-no-yu, Aoike Aoike, is responsible for pouring wine for the guests who come to the funeral. Drinking sake seems to be the same in the village. one of the customs.

During the banquet, Yunfeng and the others heard the most talk about the death of Yasuko Yura and the disappearance of Dororo Fuan...

"Taizi, she... seems to have been taken away by a strange old woman..."

"Really... so scary..."

"What, Kuribayashi?! Isn't she already dead?! How could she still appear in our village?!"
