Chapter 144: Forked Road, the Legend of Qingbozhu!!
"Does the little finger of the right hand store a person's soul?"
Koshizu Nanatsuki stood next to Shu Yunwen, his face still not looking good.
As for Tsukamoto Sumi, Sonoko, and Ayako, they also walked over together, and they must have heard what Shu Yunwen and Yamamoto Tomoe said before.
"Mr. Yamamoto, could you please take the liberty to ask me, in your eyes, what kind of person was the deceased master of your house? In terms of character..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.
"Master?" Tomoe Yamamoto glanced at Koshimi Nanatsuki with a slightly cold expression, "Master, he must be a very tough character and a very strong person on the surface, right? I have been working here for five years, and I have never been
I have never seen the master shed any tears."
"The relationship between the master and his wife is very good and very loving. After the wife died, everyone in the villa knew that the master was very sad, but the master just held on and never shed a single tear in front of us. After the wife's death, everyone in the villa knew that the master was very sad.
Shortly after his death, he returned to the company and worked very hard..."
"Then half a year ago, the eldest lady also hanged herself. At that time, we could all guess that the master had completely collapsed - after all, the people closest to him left him one after another.
.During that time, my behavior was very abnormal, and sometimes I would mutter things like, 'It hurts, so what', 'It's better to just die' and so on."
"Speaking of which, we were all worried that the master would not be able to bear the pressure and commit suicide!"
"Well..." Koshimi Nanatsuki frowned - the words "it hurts, so what" and "it's better to just die", the chef seemed to have said it once before...
"Mr. Otsuka said, 'It doesn't matter if it hurts.' So was he injured or sick at the time?" Tsukamoto Sumimi asked strangely.
Yamamoto Tomoe shook his head: "I don't know about this either. After the death of the eldest lady, the master stayed in his room for a long time and only occasionally came out for a walk. Later, he probably was almost there
A month or so, it seems that the housekeeper Jiagu comforted the master, and the master regained his energy."
"However, after that, I basically stayed in the villa for more than half of the time during the day - before, I basically worked late at the company..."
"Is that so?" Nanatsuki Koshizui smiled slightly, "The master has a very tough character, so no one in the company would dare to question him, right?"
Yamamoto Tomoe was stunned for a moment: "I don't know about this. However, if the servants in the villa are disobedient, the master will ask the housekeeper Kotani to fire him. This is one of the main reasons why the servants in our villa are all newcomers.
…”
"...Speaking of which, six months ago, because the food was not in taste, the master scolded Chef Fukuda and wanted to fire him. Later, thanks to the dissuasion of Butler Kotani, Chef Fukuda was not fired."
Koshizui Nanatsuki was surprised: "Your master, you really trust the housekeeper Kotani!"
Yamamoto Tomoe said: "Yes! After all, Butler Kotani has been the housekeeper of the Otsuka family seventeen years ago, and has won the trust of the master and his wife. I remember that Butler Kotani and his wife seem to be from the same hometown. They
They are all from Kamisakawa Town, Sorachi County, Hokkaido..."
As for Shu Yunwen, he was frowning and thinking - Otsuka Ken's performance is indeed a bit weird!
Also, according to Yamamoto Tomoe, after the death of Otsuka Aiko, Otsuka Ken clearly collapsed and had suicidal tendencies. This shows that Otsuka Ken cares about his family. However, after almost a month, Otsuka Ken
Month, Otsuka Ken regained his energy...
One month, could it be said that Otsuka Takeru was because of...
Maybe, this is really possible!
At this time, a policeman from a distance ran over quickly: "Mr. Officer Aida, we got the suicide note left by Otsuka Sakiko!"
"Immediately find some content written by Otsuka Aiko and hand it over to forensic personnel for handwriting identification!" Aida Hikoichi ordered loudly.
The policeman responded and left in a hurry.
Several people were thinking about it, and Nanatsuki Yuesui stood beside Shu Yunwen, smiled and said softly: "Sir Yunwen, regarding the case here, I can already confirm that we should have been led to a side road from the beginning.
.”
"Oh?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, "Did you find anything?"
"Well, there are some. Based on the clues currently known, my reasoning is sufficient, but there is no conclusive evidence..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki frowned.
At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes came in, respectfully saluted Shu Yunwen and the others: "Sir Yunwen, Miss Sonoko, Miss Ayako, Miss Tsukamoto Sumi, I am Mr. Maeda's secretary. Mr. the day before yesterday
I suddenly received a call that there were very important matters in the company that needed to be dealt with, so I left first. Next, I will arrange your arrangements... My surname is Shanxing, please take good care of me."
"Is that so?" Sonoko nodded indifferently, "If something happens to Mr. Maeda, don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves."
Sonoko said, then turned to look at Suzuki Ayako, and continued the topic: "Sister, you said that the little finger of a person's right hand can store a person's soul. Is this what Mrs. Otsuka said to scare Otsuka Ayako? This kind of thing,
It’s impossible even if you think about it! Master Yunwen just said that it’s impossible for fingers to store human souls.”
Ayako smiled: "Perhaps what Mrs. Otsuka said should be a legend somewhere? It's like the legends in some places are very strange."
"Ah? Is this possible?" Yuanzi curled his lips, "Where can such a strange legend be spread!"
At this time, Yamayuki, who claimed to be Maeda Mao, smiled and said: "I have heard of rumors that the little finger of the right hand can store people's souls!"
"Ah?!" Sonoko, Ayako, and Tsukamoto Sumi turned their heads in surprise.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for Shu Yunwen, Koshisui Nanatsuki also turned to look at Shanxing's secretary.
Secretary Yamayuki said with a smile: "I studied at Hokkaido University when I was in college, and my friend in the same club is a native of Hokkaido. He once told me that there is such a legend in his hometown."
"...It seems that there was a monk who, because of his laziness, eventually starved to death without having anything to eat and became a being similar to an evil god. This evil god would abduct people in sparsely populated places and hang themselves, and when the people were about to be hanged, they would open their mouths.
Bite off the little finger of the person being hung. Because the person’s soul is stored in the little finger, and the evil god who is starved to death can only fill his stomach by eating the soul..."
"Because of this legend, people in their area believe that if someone's right little finger is severed before death, the soul will be trapped in the little finger and cannot become a Buddha!"
"If someone's right little finger is broken before death and wants to be reincarnated as a Buddha, he must offer other right little fingers with trapped souls to the evil god and let the evil god eat..."
"Uh...what are you all looking at me for?"
As Secretary Shanxing spoke, he suddenly felt that the eyes of Shu Yunwen and Koshikoshi Nanatsuki around him were staring at him, and he laughed twice: "Did I say something wrong?"
Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes and asked: "...the evil god you are talking about, could it be the Master Qingbo who appeared in One Hundred Ghosts Night Walk?"
"Hmm... It seems, it seems to be called Master Qingfang..." Shanxing's secretary nodded.
"It seems that there are really many legends about Aobo Master! The differences are really huge..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said, and asked seriously, "That good friend of yours in college
His hometown should be Kamisagawa Town, Sorachi County, Hokkaido, right?"
"You, how do you know?" Secretary Shanxing was surprised.
Koshizui Nanatsuki held his chin with a smile on his face: "Is that so? Thank you very much."
"It seems that he still kept some incredible evidence, right there!!"
