I set off the Night Parade of Hundred Demons in Tokyo

Director Takahashi paused.

Not long ago, the Extraordinary Response Department held a meeting after Master Kukai's incident, and mentioned the 'lost king'. At the meeting, there was an investigation into Kamikawa Takashi, a person suspected of being related to the 'lost king'.

The 'Dead King' is mysterious and powerful, and most likely has a very high status. For fear of offending the 'Dead King', the extraordinary response department adopts a soft policy towards Kamikawa Takashi's investigation. Morita Takeshi and Yoshimura Murayoshi are in charge of the investigation. people.

Since this week, they have been monitoring Kamikawa-san for a week, hoping to see if Kamikawa-san has any contact with the deceased king and prove that he is related to the deceased king.

At the same time, they also conducted a family investigation on Kamikawa Zun.

There is no other reason. The 'Dead King' has a very high status and is very powerful. He is most likely an ancient figure. Kamikawa Zunneng is related to him, and his background may not be ordinary.

Director Takahashi knew it. After a week of surveillance, Kamikawa showed no signs of being related to the 'dead king'.

It can almost be judged that Kamikawa Zun had no contact with the deceased king.

It's just that Morita Takeshi came here by helicopter to report, and it was obvious that he had made an unexpected discovery.

"What are the results of the investigation into Kamikawa Takashi's family?"

Director Takahashi came and was curious. He was very curious about the senior officials of Kamikawa Takashi's family's extraordinary response department. He thought about famous people with the surname Kamikawa. He even asked Professor Kitayama of history if there were any famous people in history. People with the surname Shangchuan.

Then they discovered that there was no famous person in history with the surname Shangchuan.

Even Professor Kitayama doesn't know any celebrities. What family will Morita Takeshi and the others find out through their investigation?

“We found out that Kamikawa Takashi’s family is not native to Tokyo. According to the household registration survey, his family came to Tokyo in his great-grandfather’s generation and came from the transfer area between Honshu and Shikoku in Japan.

Since my great-grandfather's generation dates back more than a hundred years, it is very difficult to find out where they were in Honshu and the junction of Shikoku.

We spent several days, asking the local household registration bureau for help, and even the police station, but still found nothing.

We originally planned to give up, but finally we found the ancestral home of Shangchuan Zun after being reminded by a person from the Household Registration Bureau. "

General Morita submitted documents such as Kamikawa's ancestral home and his great-grandfather's generation to Director Takahashi.

Received the information.

Director Takahashi was surprised.

Finding one's ancestral home is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but thanks to Takeshi Morita, he was able to do it.

You must know that when searching for family ancestry, the first issue is time. Due to the long history, a lot of information has been lost to history and cannot be traced.

Including the junction between Honshu and Shikoku, the search area seems very small at first glance.

But no matter how small it is, it is still a large area. It has a large population, and with the development of the times, transportation has become more and more convenient, so the population flow is very large. Not everyone will stay in one place for a lifetime, so not all the people who live in the handover area are from their ancestral home. They are all here, some may have moved here from outside, and some may have moved out.

Therefore, if you want to find people of your great-grandfather's generation who lived at the junction of Shikoku and Honshu, you can't just go to the junction and find them. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

To put it bluntly, this is not a TV series or a novel. If you look for your information, you can find it without any effort. You think too much, do you think this is just a joke? Reality is very rare.

"Can you find all of this?" Director Takahashi was surprised again and again. He had no hope at all, but he didn't expect to find it: "What did the household registration administrator remind me?"

According to Takeshi Morita, the reminder from the household registration administrator played a key role.

While asking, Director Takahashi opened the information and took a look.

"Seto Inland Sea? Is this where the ancestral home of Kamikawa's family is?"

The Seto Inland Sea, which means a narrow strait, is located between Honshu and Shikoku in Japan. It is named because it is within the straits and is formed by the collapse of the strata.

"This is the place where the generation of great-grandfather Kamikawa lived according to the survey. It is said that the fathers of great-grandfather Kamikawa also lived here. As for tracing it back further, it may not be in the Seto Inland Sea. It will be difficult to trace it back.

However, we have already discovered the identity of Kamikawa Takashi's family, so there is no need to trace back. "

In his words, you can see that Morita Takeshi was very excited.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Morita Takesada has made a major discovery, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

Immediately afterwards, Takeshi Morita said.

"The area where Honshu and Shikoku meet is very large and has a large population. If we wanted to check the household registrations one by one, it would take ten days and eight months to complete the check. We had to narrow down the scope. Mr. Murata helped us with this. Oh, Murata My husband is the old employee of the Household Registration Bureau.

He was born in the Seto Inland Sea. He has been in the Seto Inland Sea since he was a child and is very familiar with it.

Mr. Murata reminded us that in fact we do not need to search in the entire junction area, we only need to search in the upstream areas of the junction area close to rivers and waterways. "

Everyone didn't know why.

How did Mr. Murata narrow down the scope? Why did he only look for areas upstream of rivers and waterways?

Only Professor Beishan of History realized something and his eyes lit up: "Could it be."

At this time, Takeshi Morita spoke bluntly.

"I was also curious at first why Mr. Murata asked us to search in those places. Later, Mr. Murata told me that it was because Mr. Kamikawa's surname was Kamikawa.

He told us that a long time ago in Japan, surnames were a symbol of honor. Only the royal family could bestow surnames on people, and anyone who was given a surname was considered prestigious.

Therefore, not everyone has a surname. Only nobles and powerful people have surnames, while ordinary people only have first names.

Later, during the Meiji Era, in order to meet the needs of conscription, tax collection, household registration, etc., Emperor Meiji promulgated the Ordinance on the Permission of Miao Characters for Common People, allowing all Japanese, including civilians who were previously not allowed to have surnames, to have surnames.

It was from that time on that everyone in Japan had a surname.

However, at that time, most ordinary people did not have any cultural accomplishments. In addition to the environment at that time, they were more concerned about living, eating and making money than choosing a surname, so choosing a surname was generally very casual.

How casual...

Words such as river, field, mountain, and wild often appear in Japanese surnames. This is not because people yearn for nature, but because common people with low literacy at that time can only use names they are familiar with, ranging from sun, moon, stars, to flowers, birds, and fish. Insects; everything from occupation, residence to natural phenomena, etc. can be used as a surname.

For example, if a family in a rural area is farming, they will be given the surname Murano, if they live near the ferry, they will be given the surname Watanabe, and if they live in Matsushima, they will be given the surname Matsushima. "

When Takeshi Morita said this, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that Mr. Murata decided to ask Morita Takeshi and others to find the upper reaches of the river based on Kamikawa Takashi's surname.

Chuan: The original meaning of Chuan is rivers and waterways. Generally, wherever there are rivers, there will be flat land, so "Chuan" also refers to the flat and low-lying areas in the mountains or plateaus, that is, plains.

According to the urine nature of the surname given by the ancients, Shangchuan, it is basically certain that the person lived in a river, waterway, or flat river, and the upper part of the river was located.

Since there are many straits in the Seto Inland Sea, we can almost conclude that Kamikawa does not refer to the plains, but to the upper reaches of rivers and waterways.

At this time Takeshi Morita said.

"We narrowed the scope from this. After many searches and inquiries, we found several families with the surname Kamikawa in the Seto Inland Sea. And one of the families has a person named Kamikawa Shingo, who has the same name, the same surname and the same place as Kamikawa's grandfather. It can be concluded that the two Just the same person.

In addition, by visiting our great-grandfather’s generation who lived in the Seto Inland Sea, we found out that there were ancient great figures who lived there. "

Before Takeshi Morita could speak, Professor Kitayama spoke up first.

"Ashiya Domitsu!"
