Chapter 289 Izu-cho Murder Case
Ping Yingzi has the habit of hoarding and reading newspapers.
This habit stems from her survival experience. If she does not obtain external information, a person will not be able to gain a foothold in society.
Even with a stable living environment, she still insists on watching TV, newspapers, and radio. On the one hand, she keeps pace with the outside world, and on the other hand, she also seeks clues about her mother and Snow Village Sunflower sister.
My father once mentioned that she was born in Shizuoka Prefecture, so she focused on news related to Shizuoka Prefecture.
Fortunately, now it is still the era of print media, and the information explosion is not as serious as when the Internet was born ten years later, which really made her catch the needle in the sea.
Ping Yingzi called the phone number immediately, and amid the cold prompt sound, she felt uneasy.
But unexpectedly, this was an empty number, which made her happy.
At present, Ping Yingzi personally rushed to the newspaper and said seriously: "Please, I want to know the information about the publisher."
After being stunned, the security guard looked serious and nodded seriously, helping to inform the editor-in-chief. When the latter learned about this, he warmly welcomed Hirasuko and asked the team members to find out the archive information from five years ago and found the publisher's name and approximate address.
"Name: Koizumi Ruiye"
"Contact number: 080-XXXX-XXXX"
"Address: Minami Izu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture"
...
A senior merit system is prevalent in Japan, and employees will not easily change jobs. Most Japanese people plan to work in a company for the rest of their lives.
The editor-in-chief has been in office for more than 20 years, and every issue of the newspaper is his hard work. When Hirasuko took out the newspaper from five years ago, he still had an impression of the publisher: "Ah, I'm sorry, I don't remember her appearance anymore, I just remember that she had a dispute with the team members..."
As he said that, the editor-in-chief waved: "Kobayashi, you are responsible for this section? Do you still have an impression of the publisher?"
The subordinate reporter came over and recalled it carefully for a long time. He also couldn't remember the appearance of the poster. He only remembered that she refused to leave a detailed address at that time... Now that I think about it, there might be something unspeakable.
Ping Yingzi got her name and approximate address, took out a lollipop from the carton, and expressed her gratitude to the editor-in-chief.
Next, just go to Minami Izu Town, find the local police station to check your household registration, or lock your residence through the yellow pages on the phone to find your mother.
"Ah, I don't have to..."
The editor-in-chief suffers from diabetes and subconsciously refuses. But Ping Yingzi was very persistent, so he had to accept it with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "The newspaper we published is helpful to readers, it's really great."
The subordinate reporter smelled the smell of popular news and proposed to follow up and interview Ping Yingzi. A seven or eight-year-old autistic girl travels across five years of searching for her relatives, which is definitely very interesting, and it is more than enough to make a documentary.
The editor-in-chief was a little moved. He asked Ping Yingzi's opinion and asked Ping Yingzi if she minded the reporter's interview. The newspaper was willing to reimburse her for finding a relative, and could even pay an additional material fee.
Ping Yingzi was originally reluctant, but when she heard that she had money, she immediately agreed.
In this way, reporter Hiroshi Mizutani and photographer Maori Kai packed up their equipment and set off with Hira Sakurako.
As soon as the three got into the taxi, Maori Kai opened the camera cover and pointed it at Tai Sakurako. Mizutani raised his microphone and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Ping Yingzi didn't want to speak, but since she had collected other people's money, she had to do things. She had to reply in a stern manner:
"About... seven years old."
"Hey... so young, are you going out alone?" "I've been granted by the guardian."
"So that's it, that is, are you adopted by a kind-hearted person now?"
"Personal privacy, nothing to tell."
"Ah, it looks very mature... Why do you wear this mask? Does it have any special meaning?"
"No, I just don't want others to see my face."
"It's very mysterious!" Mizutani sighed, turned his head to introduce it to the camera, telling the story of the incident.
After hearing this, the driver in front waved his hand and said that he would not charge them for this trip. Maori immediately turned the camera and pointed it at the uncle. Mizutani Hiroshi joked: "Uncle driver, why are you so generous suddenly? Next time I take your car, can you get a free fare?"
"Of course not! I also want to support my family!"
The driver said casually, "But I have a daughter, and if she doesn't see her one day, I will definitely look forward to her coming back safely one day... This kind of mood is probably only understood by parents."
Mizutani sighed a few words, showing a touching expression, and exaggerating the atmosphere.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He probably could have imagined what effect this video would be like: a girl who was alone in searching for a relative accidentally met the heartwarming help of a stranger, and the audience would definitely cry after watching it.
The drive from Atami to Minami Izu Town is about an hour and a half. It is now the peak tourist season and the traffic flow is large. In fact, it took them more than two hours to arrive.
Seventy percent of Minami Izu Town is forested, and the town is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a permanent population of less than 7,000, making it a remote place with beautiful scenery.
Ping Yingzi took the reporter to the local police station. The police officers searched the archives for a while, but failed to find Koizumi Ruiye's household registration address, but instead found her missing report record.
The disappearance of the Town District Autonomous Council Management News was two years ago. The paper pages of the transcripts were a little yellow, but the handwriting was still clearly visible:
"Miss Koizumi owed a quarter of gas fees. I went to ask, knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and the neighbor said that he hadn't seen her for many days..."
"Miss Koizumi is a good person. Everyone is worried about something unexpected about her, but she can't contact her family. Usually, everyone lives in the same town area and will help each other..."
"If possible, please help find her whereabouts."
...
The police officer and Mizutani stared at each other, and neither spoke.
It is very common for people who cannot find missing persons in the missing case. There are only three police officers in the Izu Town Police Station, which is even more shady than the Suo Ya. It is impossible to search in a carpet style. After searching for a while, there was no result, so naturally gave up.
"At least the address has been locked..."
Mizutani comforted her and saw that Hei Sakurako didn't say anything, she suggested going to the town district to take a look and ask her mother's former neighbors. Maybe she could find any clues.
Ping Yingzi had nothing to do with it. She planned so much and set off immediately. The police officers followed him and helped guide the way. Everyone headed along the mountain road and arrived at Izu town in the evening.
Spring is the peak tourist season, and the town is very lively. Japanese people know the famous "Izu's Dancer", and there are endless tourists coming here.
Residents were entertaining passengers. When the police officer asked, they were frequently interrupted by customers. They were embarrassed to influence others' business, so they had to rest at Xiushan Temple and wait patiently.
