The three brothers and sisters who escaped the murder because they sneaked out to see the meteor came back to face their parents' tragic death. At that time, the eldest son was in the sixth grade, the second son was in the third grade, and the younger sister was only in the first grade. As the eldest son, Guangyi showed his brother's responsibility, courage and strength, as well as his love for his two younger brothers and sisters.
He said, from now on, just the three of us.
He said that as long as the three of us are together, we are not afraid of anything.
A teacher saw a man running out of the back door, and the police drew a portrait according to his description. Although the police sympathized with the three children and tried to find the murderer, the case has not progressed for many years. Children are sent to institutions like children's welfare homes until they graduate from high school.
After work, the three brothers and sisters live together and struggle in the whirlpool of life. Both brothers and sisters were cheated, and later embarked on the road of fraud. Moreover, they have courage, principles, scripts, and clever means to perform one after another, but only cheated the rich. They believe that money is mobile. If they come to you today, they will come to me tomorrow. I cheated you today, and you can cheat others tomorrow.
This idea is not decent, but as a reader, I can understand them very well and even applaud them. They are behind-the-scenes traders, are attractive to prey, and are an interpretation of all kinds of occupations, which can be said to be an impeccable combination. Their deception was brilliant, and it was too late for the deceived people to find out.
After a week, I read the story in one breath with the final progress. The sweetness of milk bubbles and the bitterness of Lele still have a aftertaste in the mouth, and the eyes become moist with the last warmth.
The story twists and turns, and the ending is unexpected. Who did the murder fourteen years ago and what was the motive? This suspense has been accompanied by the progress of the story, hanging in my heart.
The three brothers and sisters lived alone, and originally planned to finish the last order. After earning10 million, they quit. Unexpectedly, Hu, the father of the defrauded object, turned out to be the person who escaped from the back door as seen by the teacher! That man is probably the murderer they have been looking for for for years!
Perhaps, the story officially begins here (the front is the background). Shen Hu's family is a foreign restaurant with many branches. The stewed beef rice is exactly the same as the signature dish of the murdered Ming family (the shop opened by the parents of three brothers and sisters), and Shen Hu made a fortune because of this dish. The three brothers and sisters decided that Shen Hu's father Shen Hu's political line was the murderer. After actively searching for evidence, under the leadership of Lao Gongyi, the three brothers and sisters decided to make evidence, that is, let the police arrest Shen Hu's political line by planting it.
I didn't tell the police directly because Taft said it looked like beef rice, and it couldn't prove that Tojo was the murderer. There are too many doubts in this. So it is better to guide the police to find the head of the household god, just as Gong Yi is so good at clever layout.
A series of plot arrangements in the middle are really thoughtful. Through the theft case -CD shop-Shen Hu Pavilion-coffee shop betting on horses, the police found out that Shen Hu's family had a bright secret recipe almost as planned, and the story turned again.
At that time, Chennai and Hu, who were in charge of seduction, were affectionate, but Xingcheng found the recipe and Chennai had to admit what he had planted. I thought it was hopeless, but when I succeeded, I found an advantage. I am willing to cooperate with the performance and find out the truth.
Unexpectedly, there has been a turnaround here. Shen Hu Masayuki admitted that the teacher saw him at that time, but when he went to Youming's house, the tragedy had happened and he saw the murderer. Because he went to buy a cookbook, took one and ran away. No one has said anything about this humiliating thing to the chef. However, he took the murderer's umbrella by mistake in a hurry and it was intact.
Everyone else thinks this case is back to square one. But then Koichi thought of the truth. It turns out that there are some small scratches on the handle of the umbrella, which were worn when practicing with the umbrella as a golf club. The reason why we couldn't find any fingerprints of the murderer at the scene-including the umbrella that was left behind-was because someone arrived at the scene immediately after the crime and did something. Therefore, the murderer was undoubtedly the policeman Kashiwabara who liked to play golf at that time and was the first to go to the crime scene. A policeman who thinks he is a relative is the real murderer who killed his parents. In order to operate on his son, he robbed Mingming of his money, and his son didn't come back in the end.
At the end of the story, Kashiwabara committed suicide. Before committing suicide, people made a confession, admitted their crimes, and assumed the responsibility of fabricating evidence. General Gong confessed everything to Hu and asked him to persuade Jingnai not to surrender the crime of fraud with the two brothers. They learned from Kashiwabara that the unjust act of robbing others of their money would not be rewarded, so they tried to pay off the money they cheated and then turned themselves in. Hu proposed to Jing Nai with a ring that Gong Yi intended to cheat him into buying.
He said, I also want to be a person with you.
In the tears of happiness in Chennai, the story ends.
I didn't start reading in chronological order from White Night, The Dedication of Suspect X, Worry-Free Grocery Store, and The Trip Letter to a Meteor, because no matter when they were written, these books have a consistent style, cold stories and warm cores.
In Keigo Higashino's book, the time element has a magical power. The people in the story have grown up with time and experience, but no matter how time goes by, the people they want to protect are firm.
Like a lamp in the dark, people are no longer afraid.
Therefore, Keigo Higashino's books are not so much criminal investigation and mystery novels as stories about guardianship. The reason why I like Keigo Higashino is probably that even if these people in his story do illegal things, even if they are heinous, you will stand on their side, feel their joys and sorrows, be deeply moved by the humanity in the story, and be moved by their persistent feelings of protecting their loved ones. ...
Just like Journey to the Meteor, Gong Yi guarded her younger brother and sister after her parents died, and the two brothers guarded their younger sister Chennai together, even though she was not related to them. Three people linked together and tried to survive in order to find out who killed their parents.
It is not easy to survive, especially easy to break the law. The authors wrote down their experiences sympathetically, and the readers could not bear to condemn them for breaking the law. The humanistic care in the story truly reflects human nature. There is no black or white, and there is no complete good or evil. It's all for what they want to protect. Just like police officer Kashiwabara, just like brother and sister Gong, although wrong, it is distressing.
I have always admired Keigo Higashino's skill in writing stories. He is really good at telling stories. Write every story with twists and turns, suspense, but reasonable. The foreshadowing is ahead, but people can't guess, and they keep turning in the middle, thinking that they have guessed the ending, but they are not. The truth will not be revealed until the end. When you read it, look back and think, oh, so that's it! Time spans more than ten or twenty years, how many cities have been transferred in space, and how many people are involved in the story. His meticulous description and skillful technique make people feel comfortable and memorable.
I like Keigo Higashino, first, because he has a sense of substitution in telling stories, and second, because there is wholehearted care and love in his stories, and of course, there are expectations and helplessness for everyone's life. I think, no matter what kind of story, it will eventually return to calm, and that is when life is full of sunshine.
