The Voice of Sin
Visitors to Shinsaibashi in Osaka, Japan, should notice the huge famous billboard, the runner of the Glico Food Company. Grigo is a famous brand in Japan and is also very well known in our country. But in the 1980s, a mysterious person who called himself the "Twenty-one Faces of a Strange Man" successively intimidated and blackmailed the Japanese food industry giants and poisoned them in supermarkets, which was the world's famous GlikoMori poisoning case.
In this case, which shocked the world, the murderer has not yet been found, and the police chief is said to have committed suicide to apologize. This case, which has passed more than 40 years, has still not been forgotten by the public. The Japanese writer Shiota Samurai, based on this case, created a socialist mystery novel "The Voice of Sin", which gave a different answer to this case.
The cause of the story is that Zeng Gen, who was a child at the time of the crime and is now married and has a child, found a tape recording his voice in his father's relics. And this tape turned out to be a recording used by criminals more than 30 years ago. Why is his voice used by criminals, and what is the connection between criminals and themselves at that time? With such doubts, Zeng Gen launched a visit and investigation. At the same time, Akuzu, a reporter for the Daiichi Shimbun, was commissioned by his superiors to do a year-end special about the Silver Man Incident thirty years ago. The story begins with the investigation of these two men. Different characters, different findings, and finally bring unexpected truths. Behind the truth there is cruelty, there is helplessness, there is also pain and sorrow.
In fact, in the process of reading this story, I wanted to give up many times, because the content of the first half was boring and lengthy, and I always picked up and put it down. However, when I got the second half, I seemed to have a feeling of sudden enlightenment like the protagonist of the story. Suddenly I seemed to be integrated into the story, and the protagonist of the story saw many unknown truths.
In fact, what moved me in the story was the different fates of the last two children in the story when they grew up. It is a person who has committed a crime and has involved his own children in the case, which I can hardly tolerate and approve of. And because of such a world, it also changed the fate of one of the children. Although It is said that Tsone did not suffer much in this story, another child, Satoichiro, lost his father and sister because of this case and was also displaced. Perhaps the original intention of parents is for the child, but in the end it is also to change the fate of the child, but it will bring pain to the child.
Akuzu said that I only wanted to investigate the truth of the incident and the real murderer. When he learns the real murderer, he has a feeling of loneliness, because behind the real case, it is not only the people in society who are hurt, but also the families of these perpetrators. They are perpetrators, but they are also victims. Things turned against everyone's original intentions, and no one benefited from this case.
Sin is a double-edged sword that cuts others and hurts oneself. As a parent, don't do things that hurt others in the name of love, maybe the last pain is yourself...
