A bizarre murder that has led to nearly 20 years of tragedy: dark and complex human nature, hopeless love, irresistible fate, frightening crime, and the confrontation and redemption in human nature...
In 1999, the novel "White Night" won the first place in the weekly Bunkharu Mystery Novels List of the year, and is the author Keigo Higashino's best-known book to date.
The author is Keigo Higashino, a famous Japanese writer. The "Triple Crown" in the history of Japanese speculative fiction, the uncrowned king in the hearts of thousands of book fans around the world
Well, after introducing the book and the author, I will interpret the book from three dimensions: the occurrence of a bizarre murder, the twisted life trajectory of the heroine Karasawa Yukiho, and the dark life path of the male protagonist Ryoji Kirihara
First, let's take a look at this bizarre murder. Including the occurrence of the murder, the 39-year tracking of the criminal police Sasagaki Jun, and the truth of the case.
1. Occurrence of homicide.
In 1973, the body of a man was found in a closed room in an abandoned building in Osaka, Japan. Forensically, the man, who was between the ages of 45 and 50, was stabbed to death by a thin, sharp blade in the heart.
Police determined that the deceased was Yosuke Kirihara, the owner of the "Kirihara Pawnshop".
After investigation, the police found that the deceased, Yosuke Kirihara, had gone to the home of a woman named Nishimoto, and that Kirihara had gone to the bank to withdraw a million yuan and to a cake shop to buy four assorted fruit puddings before going to Nishimoto's house.
But at the scene of the murder, the million dollars were not found.
Junzo Sasagaki, a criminal police officer investigating the case, strangely discovered that the last Seifushiro, whom the deceased had seen, as well as the deceased's wife, Yayoko, and Matsuura, an employee of the pawnshop, all had proof that they were not present at the time of the crime.
During his investigation, Sasagaki discovered a man who was closely related to the Seibun dynasty. His name was Tadao Terasaki, and he was a wholesaler of daily necessities who often drove his own cars to deliver goods to customers and often ate at the shop where Nishimoto worked.
Not long after, however, Terasaki died in a traffic accident and crashed into a highway parapet due to lack of concentration while driving. The police found in his car a Dunhill lighter similar to that used by the deceased Kirihara, without any fingerprints on it, which was very confusing.
Subsequently, Sibundai died of gas poisoning at home after taking medicine for a cold.
The case seems to be in a difficult situation.
2. The criminal police have been tracking Sasagi for nineteen years.
During Sasagaki's investigation that year, he found two very special children, one was Ryoji Kirihara, the son of the victim Yosuke Kirihara, and the other was Nishimoto Yukiho, the daughter of Nishimoto Yukiho. At the time, they were both teenage elementary school students.
When Sasagaki first met Ryoji Kirihara, his gloomy and deep eyes and expressionless expression made Sasagaki feel particularly strange.
Yukiho Nishimoto, who also met for the first time, was also a calm, silent and beautiful girl with big eyes and snow white delicate skin.
Many years have passed...
One day, Sasagaki came to a personal computer shop called "MUGEN". He came to look for Ryoji Kirihara and Matsuura.
He found naoto Imamura, a private investigator. Sasagi suspects that Matsuura was killed by Ryoji Kirihara. He wants to find the body of Isamu Matsuura and Ryoji Kirihara.
He told Naoto Imamura about the symbiotic relationship between Ryoji Kirihara and Yukiho Karasawa.
The relationship between gun shrimp and gobies. The gun shrimp dug a hole, and the goby came to live with them. In return for the gun shrimp, the goby is at the entrance, protecting the gun shrimp. When the danger struck, the goby moved, and the gun shrimp fled back into the hole.
People call this phenomenon "mutually beneficial symbiosis".
He has not given up on the investigation into the case years ago.
3. The truth of the case is revealed
Naoji Imamura, who discovered the secret of Yukiho Karasawa and Ryoji Kirihara, was killed by Ryoji Kirihara with potassium cyanide.
The truth of the case was finally revealed: in the 1970s, the Fourth Middle East War triggered a continuous rise in the price of petroleum products around the world, which caused great stability to the Japanese economy and greatly affected the lives of ordinary people.
Yukiho Nishimoto and Ryoji Kirihara, who are in their teens, each live in a cold and lonely family, and they do not feel the love and warmth from their parents. Two young and lonely children find each other's warmth in the library and become each other's light.
However, the ugly reality has completely changed the world of the two children. Her mother, Nishi Motoyo, sold her young snow spike to Yosuke Kirihara, a pedophile, because of the poverty she lived in. In the abandoned building, Ryoji Kirihara witnesses his father's crimes against young Yukiho.
The only good thing in Ryoji Kirihara's heart in his childhood was destroyed by his father's sin. Enraged, he killed his father with his most beloved paper-cutter.
The world of the two children has since been devoid of love, without sunlight, with only darkness, only the narrow and dirty ventilation ducts of the abandoned building.
On the road to sin, the flower of sin grew wantonly in the hearts of the two young children. Another of the dead, Tadao Terasaki, also died at their hands.
In order to be adopted by a wealthy relative, Reiko Karasawa, he changed his fate. Snow Spike, who is still a little girl, coldly and ruthlessly contributes to the death of her biological mother, Xibundai. From Nishimoto Yukiho to Karasawa Yukiho smoothly, he went to his own adulthood.
