Japanese Cryptic: On the Bridge


Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

 

Cryptic Story

 

There was a man who would travel across the national-border bridge everyday with a large bag over his shoulder.

Finding his actions suspicious, a policeman decided to investigate him. He asked him to show his bag, inside it the policeman found nothing but sand.

Still, the policeman suspected him so he would check upon him everyday.

Not once did he find anything other than sand in the man's bag.

  1. Is this some kind of tactic to widen the country by bringing part of the other country "land"? I was told once by my teacher that there is a country who explicitly buy "sand" from another country to widen the country while making the other country get smaller every time.

    1. My thought exactly. But let's think of more of creepy plot twist shall we.

  • if the man smuggling bag... what's the bags for then? my criminal mind can't think of something. the sandbags made of silk? the only scary stuff i could think of is that, assuming that the sand bag is 130 - 150cm long seperated into two section where it was seperated with the kind of cloth to make the sand bag, you can put a mutilated body part in there and cover it with sand, then close the cloth that separated the two section, then put above it another sand. judging from the norm of how the police check on it, there's little chance that the policeman would take out the sand and would only check with their tonfa, the cloth to separate the two section makes it feel that it's the bottom of the sandbag. the corpse must be a vip, the reason the man brought it outside the border was so that the country's law that he was leaving won't work on him, because it's out of their jurisdiction.

    1. Uh that is too good, I shiver when I read the mutilation part haha. But seriously, I used to watch Custom Protection (Indonesian TV Show about illegal stuff or custom thingie smuggled) and after realizing the Anon's explanation about red herring, all I can think is : he sell bags illegally (like to pass through the custom law or something). When it's sand, it's easy to clean and the buyer won't complain much. You know how tricky people could be for money :D

      Nice theory there. Even I don't have the correct explanation to this cryptic. The explanation on the Japanese site was that the man was smuggling human organs. But I can't see how it would be possible.
      The two-sectioned bag theory does sound possible

      If he's selling bags illegally, I reckon they must be made of pretty expensive material like some rare animal skin.

    3. Hey Shishou! You got it. Like human skin. I still like the old joke better though. - The Blue-Tail Fly - An Ancient horror funny song

    4. I bet human skin must be expensive.
