Murder of a Mother and Child Sixteen Years Ago
Hinami was worried.
She may have been the one who killed Koshiro. The maids at Sakuradani-kan coordinated the story and Koshiro was reported as having committed suicide.
Even if Hinami had killed the man, it would have been self-defense, said Reiko, a female doctor. However, if she had really committed the grave crime of murder, shouldn't she have turned herself in to the police? However, Hinami was unable to make a decision.
(I don't think I killed him.)
It may sound like an excuse, but she honestly had no memory of killing anyone with her own hands.
(I feel like there was someone else in that room besides me and Koshiro-san... The one who assaulted me... I'm sure... it wasn't Koshiro-san...)
And then a new mystery arose.
According to the blood type kit ordered by the female doctor Reiko, Hinami is type AB, which denies her blood relationship with Yukiko, who is type O.
(Sixteen years ago, Mother gave birth to a Type A baby girl at the Sengatake Village Clinic. She was probably the daughter of her and Koshiro-san. I'd like to know the records from that time.)
Unable to bear it any longer, Hinami ran out of the patient room.
(Sixteen years ago, in 1960, a female doctor called Utakata Megumi worked at the Sengatake Village Clinic. She was the one who wrote the birth certificate that I found in the Sakuradani family's detached house.)
If she examines the records left at the clinic, she may find a clue to the truth of what happened 16 years ago. Hinami looks for Reiko and enters the clinic, but there is no one there.
"I wonder if she's gone out somewhere...?"
Reiko was not there. If she was not here, she was probably out of the clinic on some other business, such as visiting a patient. Hinami tried to close the door, ready to leave.
"..."
Hinami stopped moving, her attention drawn to an old newspaper sticking out of a desk drawer.
(I'm curious...)
Even though she knew it was wrong, Hinami sneaked into the examination room and opened the drawer.
"This... is a newspaper from 1960...!"
Reiko was also researching the events of 16 years ago. On the front of her desk were medical books and documents. However, the rack under her desk was filled with documents related to Sengatake Village.
"A newspaper clipping about Sengatake Village. Is this a folklore dictionary? And what's this? A geological survey?"
There was even a book on civil engineering, which is not something a medical doctor would want to read. When she looked at the back cover, she saw a name written on it.
"Utakata Megumi...!? This isn't Reiko's notes. It's probably one of Utakata Megumi's personal belongings that's been left at the clinic for the past 16 years...! But why did Reiko-san keep it for all this time and not throw it away?"
Utakata Megumi was apparently a woman of serious character. She wrote her name in beautiful handwriting on the back cover of the book. Even if she felt reluctant to throw it away, it should have been okay with pushing it away to a corner of her room.
"Why is it at Reiko-san's desk? Ah! This article!"
Hinami got a clue in an unexpected way.
"A newborn baby dies from a medical error? The mother is killed in an attempt to destroy the evidence! A female doctor from Sengatake Village Clinic is arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother and child...!"
The female doctor who was arrested was Utakata Megumi. According to the newspaper article, 16 years ago, a woman who was visiting Sengatake Village on her honeymoon went into labor and was taken to the Sengatake Village Clinic.
A few days later, the woman gave birth to a baby girl. However, the doctor who treated her, Utakata Megumi, mistreated the baby, administering more antibiotics than the prescribed amount, causing the baby girl to die.
The mother realized it was a medical accident because the baby's neck had become necrotic and there was an injection mark. When questioned, it is concluded that Utaka Megumi killed the mother to keep her quiet.
"The name of the murdered woman was Aikawa Kaoruko!"
Hinami had only heard the victim's name once.
"That's the name of the woman Motonobu-san muttered. Aikawa Kaoruko. When I first met Motonobu-san, he mentioned Kaoruko...!!"
Reading on from the newspaper clipping. Utakata Megumi continued to deny the charges. She was put on trial and found guilty of professional negligence resulting in death for the death of the girl due to a medical accident, and of murder for strangling the mother.
She was sentenced to 12 years in prison and imprisoned in Matsuyama Prison, and her whereabouts are unknown after that.
(Aikawa Kaoruko gave birth in 1960! On November 6th! Mother, Sakuradani Yukiko, gave birth to an A Type baby girl on November 8th! The timing overlaps! There were two babies at the Sengatake Village Clinic. That must mean...!)
A certain hypothesis is made. The baby girl who died in the medical accident may have been the newborn baby born to Yukiko. This is the reason why the Sakuradani family had an AB blood-type daughter. If there was no adoption, Hinami's theory becomes more realistic.
"The replacement of the newborn baby...! The one who died sixteen years ago...!!"
Hinami thought she had to find Utakata Megumi.
"I’m sure Reiko-san noticed. But…"
Why didn't she tell her? It was Reiko who told her that Hinami's blood type was AB. It would be unnatural to hide it now.
"――I heard you collapsed from overwork, so I came to visit you, but you seem to be doing well. Were you searching through the female doctor's desk? Or stealing from her?"
"Eh...? Ah...!?"
Hinami was so engrossed in her research that she didn't notice someone approaching her from behind.
"Ayane-chan...! That's not it! Wait! This isn't what it looks...!!"
The youngest daughter of the Isaka family was smiling with a wicked look on her face. Ayane couldn't help but find the sight of Hinami surprised and flustered amusing.
"I won't tell her anything. After all, Hinami-chan is the daughter of the Sakuradani family... You're a big shot that even if someone died at Sakuradani Mansion, you could cover it up. Even the resident police officer there is at your mercy, right?"
"Could it be... Ayane-chan...? Are you talking about Koshiro-san being murdered...?"
"Umu. I see. I heard it was suicide? Hinami-chan is really bad at lying."
"Ah...! I... I won't make any excuses. Koshiro-san was probably murdered. By the way, it was a locked room. He was killed by being strangled with the sash of a yukata in a guest room that was locked from the inside. I was the only one in the room. Do you know who the culprit is, Ayane-chan?"
Hinami was half-desperate. She told Ayane the circumstances of Koshiro's murder.
Ayane is a smarter girl than Hinami. She is also ruthless, plotting to use Ran as a substitute to avoid the role of shrine maiden in the offering ceremony.
The cunning youngest daughter of the Isaka family made this assertion after hearing Hinami's confession.
"Well? I don't know."
"Really? Wouldn't you normally think it was me?"
"You were violated by a man, right?"
"Yes... I was attacked. I was blindfolded so I don't know, but he let it out inside my uterus over and over again."
"Then there's no doubt about it. Either there was another person in the room or there was a way in from outside."
"How can you be so sure...?"
"You had a month to think about it, but don't you realise? You were blindfolded, weren't you? The sash from the yukata was used to kill Koshiro. In other words, if Hinami is the murderer, you killed Koshiro after he violated you. Are you following it up to this point?"
"Eh... Yes. That's true... That would be the case. I see. I was exhausted, and I don't have the energy to kill someone..."
"No, no, that's not it... It's the bloodstain on the sash of your yukata."
"Bloodstains...? There was blood on the sash around Koshiro-san's neck, but I wasn't covered in blood to begin with..."
"If Hinami had killed the victim, the blood wouldn't have been on the sash. After you strangled him, you left the sash tied around the corpse's neck. Even if you had mangled the male genitals, the only stain around the neck would have been a splash of blood, right?"
Ayane pointed out the bloodstains on the murder weapon, the sash. According to Hinami's testimony, the sash of the yukata was soaked in blood.
"The perpetrator took the sash from Hinami-chan, who had fainted from the erotic scent, and first strangled Koshiro. Afterwards, he took the sash and used it to blindfold Hinami-chan."
Ayane correctly guesses the actions of the real culprit. He can't stand it when Koshiro interrupts him while he is violating Hinami. He must have finished the murder before he violated her.
"After he'd done what he had to do, he cut up Koshiro's p*nis to pin the murder on you. And then he covered Hinami in his blood."
When Hinami woke up, she was covered in blood, but she remembered that there was no blood around her eyes.
"You're right, Ayane-chan. If I had been blindfolded...!"
The perpetrator then wrapped the blood-stained yukata sash around Koshiro's neck again.
"Anyone could commit the crime if they could break down a locked room. But even if it was a locked room, it would be impossible for Hinami-chan to commit the crime. It would be a different story if Hinami-chan was a pleasure killer who could cut up Koshiro's p*nis while he was still alive and blindfolded, but is that really the case?"
"No, I don't have any such perverse hobbies."
"That's good. Now, back to the main topic. Have you thought about it?"
"You mean the shrine maiden of the offering ceremony...?"
"The festival will be held this year as well. With the current situation now that Brother has been killed, it looks bad. No one in Sengatake Village will help us. Either me or Hinami-chan can be offered. You can offer Ran, who works at Sakuradani-kan, as the offering. That will save us both."
"What if I volunteered...? Ayane-chan would still be saved, so there's no problem, right?"
Hinami had heard about this from Ayane's mother, Akari. Taisuke, the head of the Isaka family, dedicated Ayane at the beginning of the year. Ayane had already been selected to play the role of a shrine maiden.
"Oh. I, I see… So you knew. Was it Mother who told you? She always, always says unnecessary things…!"
There is only one way for Ayane to avoid her duties as a shrine maiden. A girl younger than her volunteers to be a shrine maiden. A girl who can become pregnant and is younger than Ayane. Ran is the only one in Sengatake Village who meets those conditions.
"I'm sorry, Ayane-chan. If you offer Ran up, I'll take on the role of shrine maiden instead. I'm already defiled after all..."
"You see... there's no point in that. Hinami-chan is older than me...! Seriously... I was trying so hard to ease your guilt...!"
Ayane was shocked. And at the same time, she was holding her head. Ayane's position was still precarious.
"You see, Ayane-chan, I think we need to get to the root of it all. The offering ceremony is overseen by the priest. Thanks to Ayane-chan, I'm convinced. It must have been the priest who killed Koshiro-san and violated me."
"Is it because the priest is using that black powder?"
"The black powder is a powerful aphrodisiac. The head priest is using it to plot something in Sengatake Village. He must be the one who killed Sousuke-san."
"Mother had told me about the aphrodisiac. But I didn't know they were that powerful. I thought they were just energy drinks or something like that."
"Ayane-chan... Let's talk honestly with each other. We can work together. I will tell you everything I know, without holding anything back. So, I need your cooperation...!"
Hinami told Ayane all the information she had learned so far, including the Sakuradani family's secret business, the origins of the Hokuwakai, and the fact that the Yamatoku Mujin Bank had provided funds to organized crime.
"If we had known about this while Brother was still alive, we could have taken various measures. Haa, Sakuradani Yoshiharu has left behind an incredible negative legacy..."
Ayane was quite surprised to hear that the head of the Hokuwakai was the Sakuradani family. The Isaka family was also unaware of this situation.
"According to Koshiro-san, the head of the Hokuwakai gang was among the victims of the fire at Oni Tengu Shrine."
"It's true that someone connected to the Hokuwakai died in a fire two years ago. It was the talk of the village."
"Apparently the Hokuwakai wanted to settle things. I think there was some internal strife."
"So they got rid of the upper echelons of the gang, and killed the troublesome Sakuradani Saemon as well. If that's the case, then the current boss must be the mastermind. What's suspicious is the person coming in and out of Sakuradani Mansion."
Ayane said she could narrow down the number of people who killed Koshiro. The person who broke Hinami's hymen was one of the men who was at Sakuradani-kan on the afternoon of March 10th.
"That day..."
"Eh? Why are you confused? There aren't only female waitresses working at Sakuradani-kan. Apart from the murdered Koshiro, the only man there is the suspicious novelist Motonobu who is staying there for a long time, right?"
"Motonobu-san was out. Of course, he might have been hiding out in Sakuradani Mansion... I won't say anything. That day... on March 10th... there were... many men there."
First, the police was in the air raid shelter on the mountain behind the building. Hinami saw him having intense s*x with Ran. He went down the mountain, but no one knows where he went.
The next candidate is a gardener. Yamato. He had s*x with Sayuri in the pump house behind the main building. He captured the village shrine maiden at last year's offering festival and became an oni tengu, and is now a regular user of the aphrodisiac.
And also, a delinquent. Kazuma. He was already hanging around. She doesn't think he went home quietly after ejaculating doing intercrural s*x with Hinami. He was probably still excited that he had just about taken Hinami's virginity.
"It's hilarious. There are so many men like that there... It's like Sakuradani Mansion is a brothel."
"As far as I know, there were three other men besides Motonobu-san."
"What do you think? There are other possibilities. There are air raid shelters and underground tunnels in the mountain behind. It wouldn't be strange if my missing father was hiding there. He has a criminal record. Personally, he's the most likely candidate."
"A criminal record? Are you talking about the offering ceremony two years ago?"
"Yes. He impregnated the sacrificial maiden and had her give birth to an heir. But I noticed something a little odd. I wanted to talk to her, Reiko, to confirm it."
"Odd?"
"If it's Hinami-chan, I might tell you. Since we're here... the twin boys Tatsuya and Yusuke being looked after by the Isaka family have an impossible blood type combination. Tatsuya is type AB and Yusuke is type O."
"Type AB and type O...? Is it unnatural for twins to have different blood types? But it's possible for them to be fraternal twins..."
"Fraternal twins may have different blood types. But it's the combination that's the problem. Isaka Taisuke's blood type is O. Don't you get it? That means it's the same as Hinami-chan's. It's impossible when you think about genetics."
"That's right... An AB-type child can't be born from an O-type parent... It's strange that Tatsuya is an AB type!"
It's the same logic that denies the blood relationship between Yukiko and Hinami. If one parent is type O, they cannot have a child with type AB.
"Yusuke, who was named as the successor, is type O, so he could be his biological son. But Tatsuya is type AB, so that's not the case. They might not even be twins. Two women gave birth to children in Sengatake Village last October."
"Ask Reiko..."
"No. It's better not to ask. After hearing what Hinami-chan said, I can no longer trust her."
"Eh?"
"Brother and I returned to Sengatake Village in July of last year. I met Reiko this New Year. Why do you think that was? Reiko was on an extended break. It may have been Reiko who was made into a sacrificial shrine maiden at the offering ceremony at the end of last year two years ago."
"That can't be...! If that's the case, then Reiko-san, with Taisuke-san...!!"
"She was forced to get pregnant, so she spent the latter half of last year recuperating. Don't you think so? She was violated by Isaka Taisuke and gave birth to Yusuke in secret."
"But Reiko never said a word like that..."
"I am against asking Reiko for help. If we did, she would surely hate the Isaka family very much."
Ayane pointed to some documents on the desk in the examination room.
"Reiko, she had known about the customs of Sengatake Village for a long time. So she must have been researching them, right? The evidence is still in her desk drawer."
"Reiko-san has been hiding something from me. That's true. She never told me about Aikawa Kaoruko, who was murdered 16 years ago."
"I'm glad I was able to share information with Hinami-chan here. There is another suspicious candidate. It's Utakata Megumi, who murdered a mother and child at the Sengatake Village Clinic. I heard she was sentenced to 12 years in Matsuyama Prison."
"It's an old article, so the person has already served her sentence and been released."
"Utakata Megumi collected specialist books on geology. That means she was looking for the source of Sakuradani Inn, right? The black powder aphrodisiac is a miracle drug created by the Sakuradani family. If so, the raw material must come from Sakuradani-kan's secret hot spring."
Hinami organizes the facts she has learned. With Ayane's help, the tangled threads begin to unravel. She started to find a solution.
(At the offering ceremony 16 years ago, the mother, who had become the village shrine maiden, was violated by two men. Sosuke-san and Koshiro-san... The baby girl was type A. It was Koshiro-san's seed that was chosen.)
However, something happens at the Sengatake Village Clinic. Someone switches the babies. The daughter of Aikawa Kaoruko, who was born at the same time, must have been type AB.
The reason for the baby swap is unknown. However, since Hinami is now the daughter of the Sakuradani family, it was done.
(Kaoruko-san is my real mother. Everyone has made a mistake.)
Yukiko, Sosuke, and Koshiro fought desperately to protect the daughter who was not related to them by blood. Hinami felt very sorry. The child they really wanted to protect was dead.
(Utakata Megumi caused the death of the Sakuradani family's daughter. To cover it up, she replaced the baby... Ah, that's why she also killed Aikawa Kaoruko, the mother! When she realized that it wasn't her daughter who died...!!)
Hinami was horrified at what an incredibly evil person she was.
She was sentenced to 12 years in prison. She continued to deny the crime, and newspaper articles said she was reprimanded by the judge who read out the sentence.
"Hinami-chan, can you help me search the house for a bit?"
"Search the house...?"
"The Isaka family owns several rental houses on the outskirts of Sengatake village. Brother and I have looked into it, and it seems that the woman who became the sacrificial shrine maiden two years ago must have lived in one of the rental houses for a period of time... Since we can no longer rely on Reiko-san, we have no choice but to investigate ourselves."
Hinami readily accepted Ayane's offer. After leaving a note so that Reiko would not become suspicious when she returned, she left the Sengatake Village Clinic and headed for a rented house on the outskirts of the village.

[Reasoning Notes]
It is interesting that type ABs are not born from type O parents.
Apparently, there are exceptions though.
[Customs of Sengatake Village]
▽ Oni Tengu Shrine Offering Festival
A tradition that has continued since ancient times in Sengatake Village.
A lewd ritual performed once a year by the priest in charge of the festival.

If they are caught by a man, they become a temporary couple for one month from that day and have a baby.
