"How could this female demon leader have died here?" Chen Feng and Lin Xinru asked in unison.
In fact, ever since Kawashima Yoshiko was executed by firing squad, rumors of a body double dying in her place had been circulating. At the time, an anonymous tip-off claimed that a woman named Liu Fengling was supposed to die in Kawashima's place for ten gold bars, but afterward, the Liu family only received four gold bars, causing an uproar.
In the early 2000s, a woman named Zhang Yu claimed that Kawashima Yoshiko, under the alias "Grandma Fang," had lived in obscurity in a village in Jilin until she died of illness in 1978.
According to Zhang Yu, a younger villager of Grandma Fang, she used tweezers to flip through books and burned all her writings and drawings in a special furnace, almost leaving no traces behind. Moreover, the only remaining painting had its inscriptions deliberately covered with ink.
