I kind of believe that Mifuyu is Yukiho
After watching it, I had a lot of doubts, so I searched online. 1 Time: In White Night Journey, Ryo's father died in 1973, but in the ending, Ryo died 19 years later, that is, in 1992. The Kobe earthquake was in 1995, so first of all, there is no conflict in terms of time; next, let's look at Yukiho's age. In 1973, Yukiho was 11 years old in elementary school. In 1992, she was 30 years old. In 1995, she was 33 years old. In Fantasy Night, I recalled that the landlady (namely Yukiho) I met in Qingshan was around 30 years old, which means it can be set between 1992 and 1995. 2 Accent: Yukiho's family is in Osaka, so she has a Kansai accent, and Mifuyu in Phantom Night also has a Kansai accent. Of course you can say it's a coincidence, but don't you think this coincidence is unnecessary to advance the plot. Speaking of which, Suwon's Kansai accent is used once in the book. 3 Crime: Not much to say. The motivations of the two people's crimes are almost the same. This is also the reason for the strong sense of déjà vu while reading. Could it be that Master Higashino has run out of skills? Obviously it can't be explained like this, then only. . . Same thing, you can still say it's a coincidence, but I think the question of why Higashino didn't use a new criminal process to avoid becoming unconventional is more worth thinking about. 4 Method: Ryo is a computer expert and Mifuyu is proficient in computers. I won't elaborate on this point. The key point is the chemical method used to deal with Imeda and Soga--- In White Night Walk, Noriko told Liang: If the reaction between potassium chloride and sulfuric acid leaks out of the bathroom, the person to be killed will have symptoms of poisoning before entering the bathroom, and the inhaled content will be too low to cause death. And in Phantom Night, when Mifuyu asked Mifuyu why he didn't poison Soga directly, Mifuyu replied: Even if the same potassium chloride and sulfuric acid leaked out from the crack of the door, people passing by would faint on the spot if they happened to smell it. The above is self-evident 5 **: Phantom Night described it this way, and Mifuyu said to Mizuhara: ** are all like dogs. Some of them are particularly sharp. Kato belongs to this type. (Mizuhara) Listening to Mifuyu's language, it seems that she knows other such **. Who are they? Won't the ghost of Sae Yuan appear in front of you during the White Night Walk? 6 Management: In this book, our beautiful heroine does not forget to accumulate capital even when she is doing harm. Then let's take a look at the two people's business policies. Walking in the White Night: The society is suffering from the bubble economy. Yukiho's boutique adopts the opposite management policy. In the Phantom Night: Stores that cater to the general public cannot be popular today. Only during the bubble economy period when ordinary people had the luxury of luxury, that kind of store would be accepted. Yukisui's first store is by appointment only Meidong's first store also required reservations (MON AMI had just opened, and Qingjiang was surprised to find that reservations had been scheduled for 2 weeks later) 7 World: Both worlds are equally dark Xuesui, who walks in the white night, said: We don't have day, it's night all the time. Phantom Night in the Beautiful Winter said: There is no sun in my sky, it is always dark Let's pay attention to the wording here. Yukiho said that she has no day, but in fact she still has the sun (bright), while Mifuyu said that she has no sun (bright and dead), which just reflects my point of view. Yukiho is Mifuyu. 8 Past: After Mizuhara gained insight into all Mifuyu's behavior, she concluded that her first half of life must have been extraordinary. Let's look at the conversation between Kato and Mifuyu: "Didn't anything happen to you in the past?" "Even if it did, I wouldn't be bound." Of course, the first half of the extraordinary life refers to Yuki and Ryo's efforts to fight against the world. What Kato pointed out can be considered to be Yukiho's nightmare-like experience when she was a child. It can also be considered to be the former. 9 Details: Here are some small details. If you agree with me, you will feel like gears meshing. (1) In White Night Journey, Xue Sui said to her shop assistant before going abroad: We are not going to play At the beginning of Phantom Night, Mifuyu said in the chat with Masaya: I am not going to play (2) Yukiho invited the store clerk to her home before leaving the country for the convenience of departure on the second day. Of course, the main purpose was to frame Cheng. The message that Miyuki left for her neighbor was that she would stay at her boss's house before going abroad. (3) WHITE NIGHT, Yukiho's store in White Night Walk, means a night when you can't sleep (the store opened after Ryo's death or the original store's name was changed) The company name of Magic Night Zhongmei Dong is BLUE SNOW. In English, BLUE means sadness, and SNOW means snow. . . (4) Mifuyu's dream in Phantom Night: Make a magic tunnel to make the women who come out more beautiful. In addition to the beautiful appearance, can we also understand that Mifuyu is trying to get rid of Yukiho's ugly past? (5) Where do MON AMI and the subsequent company BLUE SNOW opened by Magic Night Midwinter get their money from earthquake insurance? First of all, Mifuyu is an imposter. Whether he wants the money is one thing. Secondly, the money is obviously not enough to open a store and company (refer to the lives of other people who survived the earthquake). So if it is Yukiho, even if the store he runs is closed, the previous capital accumulation. . .
About whether Mifuyu is Yukiho
I only have one question: Doesn't Xuesui not get wet?
From Masaya's perspective, I don't want Kato to destroy Mifuyu's world. From the reader's perspective, I don't want Kato to destroy this almost perfect crime plot, so let Kato die. How many bad people are on the loose in reality, and the tragic ending is in line with life.
Where is Keigo Higashino's original work, please like it
Alas~ It's quite sad after reading this~
If a woman wants to succeed and get ahead, she can only rely on men! By selling your body! By playing tricks! But it's not surprising. Japan's national conditions can only be like this. Keigo Higashino's works are still in an era without video surveillance. I wonder if this kind of thing would still happen with surveillance?
A book worth savoring carefully, from Yukiho to Mifuyu, humanity disappears, no emotion remains, the white night is disillusioned, there is no one, only oneself walking in the dark night, there is no love, no hate, only the habitual coping and grabbing. This kind of sadness is despairing.
Ugly Japanese!
You can see Japan's hypocrisy from this book!
My personal guess is that Mifuyu may have designed the pistol explosion, and the bullets should be able to make a fuss. After all, Kato told Mifuyu that she was going to kill her too, and Mifuyu acted too sure that she would be fine. Moreover, the person who traded the bullets also said that they can be purchased by black merchants on the Internet. Mifuyu is also proficient in the Internet. He also knows the ingredients and effects of the various chemicals that were deployed by Masaya to kill Soga. The stench incident was originally designed by Mifuyu, and Masaya just made the device. Mifuyu may have noticed something in the months after Masaya disappeared. But saying that Mifuyu is Yukiho feels a bit ridiculous. After all, Yukiho must have been heartbroken when Ryoji died, and Yukiho was still Mrs. Shinozuka at that time. Also, what Yukiho told the clerk before about someone taking the place of Taiyang, so Yukiho only loves Ryoji, and Ryoji committed suicide to protect her. There is no reason for her to do it again incognito. Mifuyu must have known Yukiho before and was influenced by him or wanted to imitate and get the same status as Yukiho. I don't like Mifuyu very much, she is too unscrupulous. So when a woman is ruthless, it has nothing to do with a man!
In the end, Miyabi killed Kato. Although the way of dying together was different from what I had expected, he still fulfilled her expectations just like Mifuyu's design. In the end, he still couldn't get rid of Mifuyu's control. Even though he hesitated, he still chose to indulge in the fantasy night weaved by Mifuyu to protect her at the expense of destroying himself (because he realized that the night she gave him was unreal, and he used suicidal methods to protect the fantasy night that he could no longer believe). It can be said that Mifuyu is really very clever. Mifuyu chose him. She knew from the beginning that he would never be able to betray her, destroy his will, and hold him tightly until the last moment of his life. On the surface, it was Yaya's decision to die together, but in fact it had always been her decision, because she had already calculated it, and there was no need to worry from the beginning to the end. This is the brilliance of Mifuyu, and the sadness of Masaya.
It would be great if Masaya and Yuko were together
Masaya is dead, Mito doesn't show any emotion at all, it's a book of despair
