Kanae Kijima
On April 13, 2012, the Saitama Prefectural Court in Japan officially tried the "Black Widow Case", which has taken the country by storm.
At this time, Kanae Kijima, a suspect who brutally killed three men and is still trying to continue the crime, is sitting in the defendant's seat.
As the judge's judgment hammer fell, Kanae Kijima was charged with multiple charges and sentenced to death directly. However, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she turned slightly and followed the bailiff away from the scene.
Until 4 years later, there were still people who continued to appeal against this woman, and the death penalty could not be carried out. But it is such a "black widow" who has fascinated countless men, and her appearance is extremely bloated, even a little ugly.
Hokkaido-born "Magic Girl"
Kanae Kijima was born in 1975 to a middle-class family in Hokkaido, Japan. Her father was a businessman with some local fame in Hokkaido, and her mother was a piano teacher.
Such superior family conditions have made Kanae Kijima live in a happy family since she was a child, she is the eldest of 4 siblings, and she is also one of the most importantly cultivated by her mother.
Influenced by her mother, she has loved to play the piano since she was a child and is quite talented in this area. She also enjoys learning to cook with her mother, making a table of meals at the age of 9 and baking exquisite pastries.
If it continues to develop in this way, then Kanae Kijima will definitely become an excellent wife and mother, but as she grows up, her three views gradually change.
Due to the influence of Japanese capitalism, Kanae Kijima has been extremely vain since she was a child, and she has been obsessed with living a luxurious life for free.
When she was in junior high school, she once stole 3 million yen in cash stored by her father at home and went to a luxury store to buy a large number of clothes and bags for herself.
After being discovered by her father, she never repented, but began to think about how to maintain her vanity after her father reduced her pocket money.
So when she was in high school, she began to try to associate with very old men to satisfy her yearning for material life.
In her junior year of high school, she even tried to earn pocket money by making money. It can be seen that after she became an adult, the three views have been distorted to a certain extent.
During the college entrance examination, Kanae Kijima applied for a university in Tokyo. She longs for Tokyo because she knows that it is the center of The Japanese economy and the place with the most opportunities in all of Japan.
However, contrary to her wishes, she failed in the college entrance examination, but she did not choose to repeat the study, but directly bought a ticket to Tokyo.
In 1994, at the age of 20, Kanae Kijima wandered through Tokyo and lived on the streets by "selling art". Due to her general appearance and bloated figure, her life was very difficult.
Although Kanae Kijima does not have a good appearance, her double quotient is extremely high, and after working in the Wind Moon Place for a few years, she gradually discovers a way to win the hearts of men.
As the saying goes, "If you want a person, you must first see through his heart and know what he wants." "Kanae Kijima has obviously done the ultimate in this regard.
In 2001, Kanae Kijima met a 68-year-old man at a bar, and the two had a good conversation in front of the bar, and after pushing the cup to change the cup, the two left contact information for each other. In just half a month, the two developed into a couple.
This encounter was obviously not a chance encounter arranged by Heaven, but a plan she had carefully prepared. The man is an executive of a business company with a very good income, but has never had an emotional life, and the appearance of Kijima Kanae seems to light up his life.
Over the next six years, Kijima defrauded the man of 73.8 million yen (about 4.32 million yuan). After almost squeezing out his liquid assets, she very cautiously chose to break up.
Because she understands that this man has lost his use value, and continuing to continue will only cause himself to burn.
When the man realized that he might have been deceived and then went to the police station to report to the police, the case was indeed identified as insufficient evidence, which shows how meticulous Kimjima's mind is.
In 2008, after tasting the unearned sweetness of defrauding money from men, she became out of control on this road.
At that time, when the Internet in Japan was developing rapidly, she also keenly observed this and hitched a ride on the Internet express. "Hiding behind a computer screen is much easier than sitting in a bar and talking face-to-face." That's how she described her thoughts.
Because she was good at cooking, she began to publish posts on major Japanese dating websites under the screen name of "Kaneko Kitchen". During this time, she completely fell into the abyss of money and desire, and she spent a lot of money to dress herself.
She frequently buys designer clothes and bags, punches in high-end restaurants to take photos, and packages herself as a "white rich beauty" who is good at cooking, and whenever she posts her carefully groomed selfies on social media, her likes are getting higher and higher.
Become the queen of online social networking
While casting a wide net, Kijima Kanae summed up a set of "male cutting strategies" that apply to herself, such as: "Boys like gentle ladies", "Cooking is a wide range of pluses", "Treat men moderately to praise" and so on.
She is a piano teacher who cooks well on the Internet and holds a nurse's license. In her personal description, she wrote: "I want to have a serious relationship with older men and start a family together." ”
In this regard, Kijima Kanae later said: "Older men have a lot of pressure in their work and life, rich in life experience, and more empty inside, they have a lot of income but they are extremely short of emotional life, so this kind of group is more easy to deceive." ”
However, her identity is also changeable, sometimes she is an elderly leftover woman who is bent on seeking true love; sometimes she is a female pianist who returns from studying in the United States after the death of her parents; sometimes she is a pet shop owner who loves to make food, and so on.
In short, Kanae Kijima took advantage of her early years of extensive social contact, and when chatting with middle-aged and elderly men, she could switch her personalities at will to meet their preferences.
In just two months, "Jia Miao Kitchen" has become an "Internet celebrity" in many marriage websites. Middle-aged and elderly people who cannot find a sense of presence and dignity in front of young women can find a sense of accomplishment here in Kijima Kanae.
Under her meticulous operation, many men began to take the bait.
"Did you associate with me for the purpose of getting married?" This is the kind of question That Kanae Kijima would ask each man at the beginning of the conversation.
Such a sentence shaped her into a little girl with extreme insecurity in her heart, which greatly stimulated men's desire to protect and trust her.
In the interaction, he will also make meticulous greetings to each man. With a sweet and warm inner offensive, to make up for their innate appearance deficiencies.
She can customize a special communication plan according to the characteristics of each man, which also makes it more convenient for her to switch identities.
As the feelings deepened, she would often start asking for gifts, or small red envelopes.
After the man accepts, she will begin to gradually increase the amount requested according to the situation. For example, he asked the other party to pay for the tuition of a fictitious cooking class, or the rent, and so on.
What makes Kimjima Yoshinae great is that most of her friends have paid her these fictitious fees, and some even borrow money to lend her. In this way, she amassed tens of millions of yen in just one year.
However, at this time, the lustful Kanae Kijima has been blinded, and the huge wealth at her fingertips has made her not satisfied with being an "emotional liar", and she has begun to intensify and embark on the road of wealth and death.
Killed 3 people in a row, suspect in the "Black Widow Case"
On August 6, 2009, police in Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo, received an alarm that a man had died in his car from carbon monoxide poisoning, which was initially determined to be suicide.
This was the third incident of male "charcoal burning suicide" that year, and the deceased were Takaro Terata, a 53-year-old commercial company employee, Kenzo Ando, an 80-year-old retiree, and Yoshiyuki Otaku, a 41-year-old company employee.
However, in the body of Ōide Kayuki, the body of the doctor was detected by the forensic doctor as the ingredient of the sleeping pill. This immediately attracted the attention of the police, who immediately investigated the three murders.
As the police deepened, Yoshiyuki Oide's fiancée, Kanae Kijima, entered the police's sight. Police found in Yoshiyuki Oide's personal computer that the two met on a marriage website in early August.
After only half a month together, Kanae Kijima made a request to get married, but only if she had to master the entire family income.
Ōide Kayuki, who was anxious to get rid of the order, was overjoyed and immediately agreed to her request. However, the day after the two lived together, Ōide Yoshiyuki bizarrely "committed suicide".
Subsequently, the police began to investigate Kanae Kijima. It was discovered that she had been engaged to all three of the deceased and had defrauded them of more than 100 million yen in total.
When the police decided to arrest her, she did not panic in the face of cold handcuffs and directly admitted that she had borrowed money from three "ex-husbands".
However, for the cause of their death, Kijima Kanae said that she did not know, because of the lack of human and physical evidence, the police could not convict her, and could only symbolically detain her in the detention center.
In fact, before her arrest, she had already found a fourth victim, they had just completed the engagement ceremony, and if the police had not arrested her immediately, perhaps the fourth victim of "charcoal burning suicide" had already appeared.
After being arrested, he even remarried and was eventually sentenced to death
Because of her strenuous denial of the crime, the court had to rely heavily on circumstantial evidence in trying the case, and the adjudication process became very difficult.
The judges served more than 100 days in this case, even setting a record for the highest in Japan's legal circles. In the end, the police only found a breakthrough in sleeping pills.
On April 13, 2012, the Saitama Prefectural Court held a hearing on the Case of Kanae Kijima, and more than 1,300 people participated in the on-site observation.
In court, she confessed to the purpose of her crime: "In order not to work hard, you can maintain a vain and luxurious life." ”
At the same time, she also slyly argued: "I did not defraud them of a penny, my money was given to me voluntarily, and their death was because they could not accept my sudden proposal to break up, and they could not open it." ”
Subsequently, the trial chief Bear Ichiyuki pronounced a verdict, "The defendant repeatedly committed extremely serious crimes, psychological distortions, and the consequences were very bad." ”
He was also sentenced to 3 counts of intentional homicide and 7 counts of fraud and theft, including fraud and theft, and sentenced to death for several crimes.
However, with her strong personal charm, Kanae Kijima formed a strong team of lawyers early on and immediately began to appeal for her.
During the appeal, Kanae Kijima remained in a detention center, but her life was not affected in the slightest.
Because she was released on bail, she was able to access the Internet at a specific time in the detention center, and she set up a blog to record her life in the detention center, which collected a large number of fans.
Relying on her blog and correspondence with thousands of fans, Kanae Kijima once again showed her amazing "charm", and she even published an autobiographical novel in her spare time, "Praise".
The book details her relationship with each man over the years and imparts to the reader her experience in the relationship, and there is no shortage of explicit plot descriptions in the book.
She wrote in the book: "Men's dreams are gentle women who can cook a good dish and satisfy their desires. I'm just packing up these dreams and selling them to every man, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”
In 2015, a 60-year-old male fan named Doi proposed to Kanae Kijima, who was in a detention center, and after the two registered, Doi would visit her every weekend. However, in September of that year, Doi was paralyzed by a car accident.
She immediately filed for divorce after learning that her husband was paralyzed, and at the same time proposed to establish a father-daughter relationship with Doi, and Doi unexpectedly made God agree. In this way, the two changed from husband and wife to father and daughter.
Just three months later, Kanae Kijima announced her marriage to another Mr. Inoue whom she met on a dating website. Later, because Inoue could not continue to meet her material needs, the two divorced after a year and a half of marriage.
In January 2017, the editor-in-chief of a magazine claimed that he was the one who knew Kanekima best and was willing to marry her. As a result, he successfully became her third husband.
The reason why Kanae Kijima is so sought after, and even after revealing the identity of the murderer, so many people flock to her is because of her understanding of men.
One of her ex-husbands said: "Every time Kijima is at home, he will bring him tea and water, and he will ask for warmth, which makes him very moved." ”
After 1950, "the wife who heals her husband like a mother" was unanimously recognized by all Japanese men, and Kijima Kanae was best at "healing".
She exploits the weaknesses of middle-aged and elderly men and gives them the care of women. For men of this age, spiritual comfort is much more important than looks.
On April 14, 2017, Kanae Kijima was sentenced to death after a seven-year trial, and the "most vicious black widow of the Heisei period" was never able to escape justice.
After the verdict was handed down, her advocates even continued to appeal, even calling for the abolition of the death penalty. But human nature may be distorted, but justice is definitely not absent.
Today, Kanae Kijima has become a bygone era. However, the popular "Black Widow Case" has left a deep trace in people's hearts.
It exposes the distorted state of Japanese society and the dilapidated family life of people, which Kanae Kijima takes advantage of, but her greedy and ugly heart pushes herself into the abyss of eternal doom.
