Lost and Spy

Chapter 1357 Two Chess Idiots
"Edogawa Conan" is gone after all.

Looking at the room where she was alone, Ruriko Motoyama burst into tears.

But suddenly, she laughed again.

Yes, she smiled.

These were the happiest days of her life.

She knew very well that she would never see "Edogawa Conan" again.

However, she will never forget this time.

She will remember it forever.

When "Edogawa Conan" left, he left her a check.

At the end of 1940, Riko Motoyama returned to China.

She never married in her life.

After the war, Ruriko Motoyama opened a small hotel in her native Shiga prefecture.

The name of this small hotel is:
Edogawa!
She has been waiting for that person to suddenly appear in front of her one day.

But she didn't wait.

In 1975, Ruriko Motoyama sold the hotel and moved into a nursing home.

Later, when Ruriko Motoyama was dying, a nurse came in and said to her:
"Someone sent you a strange gift."

This strange gift is actually a rope.

Ruriko Motoyama's eyes lit up when he saw the slender rope.

There was even a shy girlish blush on her face.

Trembling, she took the rope.

There is also a sign hanging from the end of the rope, which reads:

I have been, I have seen, I have conquered.Shanghai!
Ruriko Motoyama smiled happily.

He came, he saw, he conquered.

She didn't know what he conquered, but at least he conquered himself!

The next day, Ruriko Motoyama passed away.

She left with a smile and no regrets.

Until she died, she firmly held this slender rope in her hand, which brought her infinite beauty and happiness.

……

Their three hand talks reached the third set to determine the outcome.

In the first two sets, both sides won one and lost the other.

This crucial third set has also reached the mid-set.

The two sides played more cautiously.

Every step will be taken after a long time of deliberation before falling.

From noon to dark, it was only in the middle of the day.

It is impossible to see which side has the advantage.

Both Jiang Xiushan and Matsui Tomoya were the same, their foreheads were covered with dense sweat, and there was a painful expression on their faces.

Why is playing chess so painful?
"I can't, I really can't."

Matsui Tomoya carefully put the black chess piece into the chess box: "I discovered it two hours ago, but I can't leave the chess game. I have been persisting, but now I really can't persist."

"You are a chess idiot, and so am I." Jiang Xiushan also panted and said, "I also persisted for two full hours, but I couldn't persist any longer. Regardless of the grievances between China and Japan, I respect you for this chess idiot." .”

"Where is the poison?"

After Matsui Yuya finished asking, he found that Jiang Xiushan's eyes fell on "Yongzi".

Matsui Yuya suddenly realized: "You put the poison on Yongzi, and then I grabbed the rice ball with empty hands and ate it, so I was poisoned. What a pity, this is Yongzi."

"The poison in chess can be erased, but the poison in people's hearts will never disappear." Jiang Xiushan's face was pale: "You shouldn't come to China, you can stay in Japan, and you will become a generation of Go masters."

"The interests of the empire are above all else."

Matsui Tomoya shook his head: "Why did you kill me?"

"My son, my only son, died on the Songhu battlefield, by your hands." Jiang Xiushan murmured, "I want to take revenge, but I have no power to restrain the chicken. They found me, Gave me a chance. I agreed, I agreed. I don’t know which bastard killed my son, but you also have Chinese blood on your hands, don’t you?”

"idiot!"

Standing behind, Matsui Tomoya's subordinates roared angrily, he rushed over and grabbed Jiang Xiushan's entourage.

"Let him go." Matsui Tomoya stopped his subordinates, and he looked at the follower: "What's your name?"

"Du Yuye."

"Are you from the military?"

"No, I'm a teacher's student."

Matsui Tomoya nodded: "Mr. Jiang, are you willing to die with me like this?"

"Actually, they made another plan, and I have a way to get out." Jiang Xiushan said frankly, "But I didn't agree. Go is about peace, but I use go to kill people and tarnish go. So , I decided to sacrifice my life for chess!"

Die in chess.

This is a real chess idiot!
Matsui Tomoya called his subordinates to his side: "I'm about to die. After I die, please bury me and Mr. Jiang together. There are two chess idiots written on the tombstone."

"Hay!"

"And him." Tomoya Matsui was talking about Du Yuye: "Let him go."

"What? Let it go?"

"Yes, let it go." Matsui Tomoya couldn't argue: "Mr. Du Yuye."

Du Yuye didn't expect that he would be released. He was already prepared to die calmly.

"In Japan, I have a son who has been very talented in Go since he was a child." Tomoya Matsui's consciousness began to blur, but he pinched himself hard and tried to wake himself up:
"Please remember this game of chess firmly. When the war is over, find him. From our last move, finish this game of chess. This is my last wish, please!"

Du Yuye glanced at the teacher.

Jiang Xiushan had already fallen to the ground, but what he said in this world was:
"Download it..."

It starts with chess and ends with chess.

Matsui Yuya also died.

He died beside Jiang Xiushan.

He found out that he was poisoned early in the morning, but he was unwilling to leave the chess game.

He kept going until he couldn't keep going.

He is a devil, and his hands are stained with the blood of countless Chinese.

But his obsession with the way of chess, just in this sense is awe-inspiring.

He would rather die than continue the chess game.

His only regret before he died was that he didn't finish the game of chess.

According to his last wish, he and Jiang Xiushan were buried together.

The tombstone reads:

Two chess idiots.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the tomb was re-excavated.

Jiang Xiushan was reburied.

On the tombstone is written "patriotic master, a generation of national players".

Matsui Tomoya's body was not abandoned in the wilderness, and a new grave was set up.

Only, there aren't any tombstones.

……

1983 years.

"This is the unfinished game of chess."

The old man put down the last chess piece: "Back then, my teacher's last white piece was placed here."

On the opposite side, the Japanese man in his fifties stared at the chessboard and frowned.

"shall we start now?"

"Okay, Mr. Du."

Mr. Du sat down: "It's your turn."

Then he said:

"I will never forgive you, forever. But, this is my teacher's last wish. He is a real chess idiot. As his last student who is still alive, I will work hard to finish the game and win this last game." Disk victory!"
