Chapter 295

TOHOK Cinema is located in an alley in Taito Ward, Tokyo. The cinema is not big, but the ticket price is slightly lower, so it is a place that many surrounding white-collar workers like to visit.

On the evening of September 20, Tian Mingguang and her boyfriend Yin Ju Jian appeared at the entrance of the cinema.

The two looked at the series of movie options in the ticket hall and fell into a problem that couples often face, which is, which movie to watch?

Tian Mingguang pointed to a posted movie poster and proposed: "How about watching this 'Sweetheart Girl'?"

As a boyfriend, Yin Ju Jian's mouth twitched.

Although he and his girlfriend are in the hot love period, he is least interested in this kind of lovey-dovey movie.

However, he couldn't say it directly, so he found a reason: "I heard this is a manga adaptation movie, it seems the reputation is not very good."

As a girlfriend, Tian Mingguang frowned and thought for a while, and also accepted this claim.

She pointed to another poster and asked: "How about watching this 'Tokyo Past Events'."

Yin Ju Jian didn't oppose this time; although this name also sounds like a romance movie, it should have more connotation.

Besides that, the actress is also a star he likes.

He smiled and agreed, and prepared to go to buy tickets with his girlfriend. But just at this moment, the screening hall next to them finished screening, and a group of people walked out.

For a time, the hall became much noisier.

"This movie is so scary!"

"Akiwara Yuto is indeed a writer of detective fiction, actually able to write such a plot."

"Eh, it's not written, right? Isn't it adapted from a real case?"

"Real case, which one?"

"It's Kanagawa..."

The words behind could not be heard clearly, and the crowd also dispersed.

But this also raised Yin Ju Jian's curiosity.

He is no stranger to the name Akiwara Yuto; after all, he can see it in the newspaper every few days.

Because of this, he specially bought two of his works and was shocked by the detective murder methods inside.

A movie script created by such a person should be better than any romance movie, right?

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to ask the ticket seller in front of him: "Hello, which movie just finished screening?"

The ticket seller said with a business-like smile: "It's 'Memories of Murder' which was just released today?"

"Why is there no poster posted?"

"Because there is no space."

Hearing this answer, Yin Ju Jian was a bit hesitant again; if the cinema didn't even post a poster, it meant they were not optimistic about this movie.

In this case, should he watch this movie?

Just when he was thinking, as a girlfriend, Tian Mingguang subconsciously looked at her boyfriend twice.

Yin Ju seems to like Akiwara Yuto's works very much, I as a girlfriend should be more understanding.

She then stepped forward two steps and said with a smile: "What time is the latest screening of 'Memories of Murder'? Please give me two movie tickets."

The ticket seller smiled and accepted the money and handed over two tickets, while Yin Ju Jian could only smile bitterly and accept his girlfriend's "kindness."

The two then bought popcorn, and when the time was almost up, they checked the tickets and walked into the screening hall. However, outside the screening hall, Yin Ju Jian saw the poster for this movie.

On the poster, two men in plain clothes stood in a dark corner, with "exaggerated" smiles on their faces. At the very bottom, besides the movie and director's name, it also wrote "Screenplay by Akiwara Yuto" work.

Don't know why, when seeing this smile, Yin Ju Jian felt a chill in his heart.

Tian Mingguang didn't know her boyfriend's thoughts and pulled him to sit in the middle of the third row from the back. In her view, watching any movie is about the same, as long as she accompanies her boyfriend.

As time passed bit by bit, the screening hall was almost half full, and the lights dimmed.

The screen lit up, and a line of words "Memories of Murder" appeared.

This line of words only lit up for a few seconds and then dimmed, the movie started: a boundless wheat field appeared on the screen, several boys were running after a man wearing a patrol police uniform.

Soon, the man wearing the police uniform got off the car, squatted down, and stretched his head toward a hidden drainage ditch. Inside the drainage ditch, there was a female corpse that had already grown worms, tied up...

Seeing this scene, Yin Ju Jian's expression became serious, and Tian Mingguang also subconsciously covered her mouth, and several people sitting next to them even gasped.

The camera turned back to the local police station, this policeman named Daxiang Zhengyan discussed the case with his colleagues, and just at this time, they received another report.

After this, they began to run around to solve the case, but no matter what, they didn't find the suspect. Just at this time, a mentally disabled child named Chishi Zhifu became the target of suspicion and was brought back to the police station by Daxiang Zhengyan for questioning.

At the same time, a policeman named Yanpo Dunzhi from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also came to the local area to assist in the investigation and brought Chishi Zhifu to the crime scene.

At the scene, Chishi Zhifu told all the crime details one by one, and was thus regarded as the murderer by this investigator Yanpo Dunzhi from Tokyo and set as a suspect.

Public opinion was shocked and believed that the case was solved.

But Daxiang Zhengyan strongly opposed it because Chishi Zhifu was mentally disabled and had a weak body, and had no ability to tie up the victim with violence.

Under his unremitting efforts, Chishi Zhifu finally restored his innocence, and the police also revoked the arrest warrant.

However, the case also fell into a stalemate because of this, until another victim appeared...

While watching the movie, as an audience member, Yin Ju Jian's mood was always tense.

In this movie, the police tried all kinds of methods to solve the case and investigate, but from beginning to end, they didn't find who the murderer was.

One possible suspect after another, one crime scene and victim after another, made his heart always lifted, and it was hard to let go for a long time.

There was always a question lingering in his mind: who is the murderer!?

Two hours passed in a flash, and the movie also reached the ending part.

At the end of the movie, Daxiang Zhengyan, who was a policeman, gave up his police work and chose to engage in the insurance industry.

One day, he came to the crime scene of the year again and stared at the position where the corpse was once placed.

Just at this time, a girl said that a few days ago a man also stared here and said a bunch of inexplicable words.

"What did he say?" Daxiang Zhengyan asked eagerly.

"He will remember what he once did." The girl replied.

"What does he look like?"

The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, "Just looks very ordinary."

Daxiang Zhengyan lowered his head, as if thinking about something, suddenly he raised his head sharply, staring at the screen with sharp eyes, as if he was looking at the audience...

Immediately after, the movie ended, and after the cast list, the lights in the screening hall also lit up.

But at this moment, not a single person moved to leave immediately.

In fact, everyone's face showed a complex expression.

Yin Ju Jian even muttered to himself: "Hide the tree in the forest..."
