The Hand

"You know, I am a very cautious person. I always prepare Plan-B. Sorry, except this time. Don't feel sorry for me. This can be regarded as making up for the sins I have committed in the past." ——Tatsumi Ichiro On the dark day of 2015, Yokohama's "sleeping detective" Ichiro Tatsumi passed away in his study. He left only a thin piece of paper with the names of three old cases spanning twenty-five years for his son Tatsumi Fan, a criminal police officer, to investigate. The robbery of the Hakone Villa, the gunfire in Isezaki Town, and the fire in the abandoned building in Tsurumi District are three old cases that have long been concluded. As Fan investigates, there are more and more doubts: the gun with the safety button, the neatly cut suicide note, the missing newspaper clippings, and the footprints at the scene that do not belong to the deceased... Heavy snow covered the streets of Yokohama, covering up secrets that had been buried for twenty-five years. When the truth is right in front of his eyes, Fan must make a choice: believe in the father he has admired all his life, or believe in the evidence in his hand. Japanese-style social reasoning (I think it is), after the snow falls, there must be an echo. (This work was originally an unpublished script written by the author myself and several puzzles designed for class. Now it has been merged and changed into a mystery novel. So there are two points to explain: Because it was originally a script, the author will try to intersperse it in the story to give the pure story The reasoning version is a collection of pure clues. You can try to reason. At the same time, because the work is Chinese-style, it was changed to Japanese-style themes for some reasons. Although the author likes Japanese-style reasoning, some cultural details may have certain customs issues in the adjustment. I apologize and thank you for your support.)
