"Hmph …" Matsumoto Yuki looked as if she had nothing left to live for. "I'm not familiar with Takiki Iwata's father, and I don't have any experience in killing. How could I imitate his father's method of killing those two girls?"
"Then …" Yangshan Masako frowned. "What is going on? You don't know who the murderer is?
Or … The real culprit is Iwata Kiki's father? Is everything just Iwata Kiki's imagination? "
"No … No …" Matsumoto Yuko finally lowered her head. She no longer looked elegant. She said gloomily, "You don't know that in this story, there were actually two fathers!"
What?
Two fathers?
Zhao Yu and Yangshan Masako were shocked at the same time. At first, neither of them understood, but in the end, Zhao Yu's thought process was faster.
He asked in surprise, "You mean, the real murderer is not Iwata Kiki's father, but your … your father?"
Matsumoto Yuki did not refute, which meant that she had silently confirmed Zhao Yu's guess.
"Another … Another father?" Yangshan Masako was confused. "Who is your father?"
"My father's name is Shigeru Matsumoto," Matsumoto Yuki said. "It's been more than 40 years. This secret …"
Matsumoto Yuki trembled. It seemed that what she was about to say had been suppressed in her heart for a lifetime.
When she said the name, Yangshan Masako quickly shook her head at Zhao Yu. She meant that the name Shigeru Matsumoto had never appeared in the investigation of the case.
"My father is in Hokkaido …" Matsumoto Yuki said. "Iwata Kiki's family is also in Hokkaido. We are from the same village.
"This young lady is right. He and I are indeed childhood sweethearts, and our son is our playmate …"
"I am five years younger than him. He is a very handsome big brother …" Matsumoto Yuki said. "Actually, when we were very young, we played the Kurome game together.
Most families in our village made a living by slaughtering animals. As long as it was an adult male, he would know some slaughtering skills.
We often saw that after slaughtering animals, the adults would take out the animals' eyes and replace them with black stones. Then, they would hold a ceremony. The adults said that this could drive away evil and avoid disasters, as well as suppress the resentful spirits of livestock …
"That's why Brother Gui Qi and I would sometimes kill some small animals like chickens and kittens. Then, we would learn from the adults and change their eyes …"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a chill run down his spine. The two children were so young, yet they were already used to killing. This was even scarier than the scenes in horror movies!
"Since we're all from the same village, everyone's butchering techniques and cutting methods are about the same, right?" So, my father and Iwata Takiki's father, Iwata Shou, had the same slaughtering method. This is also why Iwata Shou was sentenced to death! "
"This …" Yangshan Masako panicked and urged, "Can you be more specific? What exactly is the process of the case? "
"Later …" Matsumoto Yuki was not affected by Masako's words and continued to speak according to her rhythm. "Brother Gui Qi's mother passed away, so his father took him to Yokohama.
At that time, there was a craze. Because Yokohama was a trading port, there were many foreigners who liked to eat beef. Their butchering skills could be put to good use. So, many people left the village, not just the Iwata family.
But, my father did not follow the craze and stayed in his hometown. So, Iwata Takiki and I were separated. During those years, we could only communicate through letters.
Iwata Takiki was deeply rooted in my heart. I missed him so much that I got lovesick. When I was in high school, I secretly took a bus to Yokohama to find him.
That was the best time of my life. During the day, we would go to the seaside and the scenic spots. At night, he would take me to eat all kinds of delicious food. Then, we would go to the hotel or his dormitory and do those things.
Although we had sex very early on and he was very nice to me, I always felt that our relationship was a little different. I always felt that he didn't feel like a lover, but more like a family member.
But, I was immersed in the joy of being in love, so I didn't care.
Later, I ignored my family's objections and gave up on a famous university and a bright future. I chose to study at an ordinary university in Yokohama. That way, I could finally be together with my rich brother!
However, what I didn't expect was that when I went to look for him excitedly, I found out that he already had a girlfriend!
My worries came true. He always treated me like a girl next door. He didn't really like me.
At that time, I was very disappointed, but I didn't despair.
Because I thought that I still had a chance! " Matsumoto Yuki was immersed in her memories. "After all, we were in the same city. I had many ways to get my rich brother back.
"However, it turned out that my methods were all wrong. Although I caused a lot of misunderstandings and trouble for him and his girlfriend, not only did I not manage to snatch my brother back, but I also made him feel disgusted. He even angrily said that he didn't want to see me anymore!
"At that time, my heart was completely broken by him, and I was heartbroken. I hated him, I hated him for betraying me … I even thought of killing him and dying with him …"
"However, some things seem to be predestined … Yet, at that moment, an accident happened …" Matsumoto Yuki's eyes did not blink as tears streamed down her cheeks.
After that, she stopped talking, as if she was trying her best to stabilize her emotions. Then, she continued to speak to Zhao Yu and Li Yunhong.
She continued, "One day, when I was sad and desperate, my father suddenly found me!
I was very surprised. When I left my hometown, I left in a huff. I didn't expect that my father would suddenly come to find me.
At first, I was very touched. I wanted to hug my father and cry.
"I didn't expect my father to look so panicked. His body was shaking non-stop, and he couldn't even speak coherently," Matsumoto Yuki recalled in shock. "I asked him what was wrong, and he stuttered for a long time. Then, he called me into the forest and showed me his car!
There was blood on the car. I immediately understood that he must have gotten into a car accident because he wanted to see me!
But, I didn't expect … "Matsumoto Yuki said with a trembling voice." When he opened the trunk, I … I saw … "
"I saw …" Matsumoto Yuki's face was twisted. She covered her cheeks and said in pain, "I saw the bodies of two girls!"
Oh my God …
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Yangshan Masako were shocked. They had never thought that the situation would turn out like this!
"My father was so scared that he was numb," Matsumoto Yuki said. "He said that he borrowed the car from the same village, so the paperwork might not be complete."
She continued, "He purposely took the small road by the sea, but he didn't expect that two girls would suddenly appear on the road."
"At that time, I … I …" Matsumoto Yuki covered her heart and said regretfully, "Sigh! If … If I had persuaded him to go to the police station and turn himself in, maybe … maybe nothing would have happened … "
