Yoshi’s Fountains

Sue Lee, Kane, and Jane were walking down the hill to Finns for coffee; Sue Lee had told the two of them her theory about Yoshi generated the two clues in a sequence to cover or reveal the whereabouts of the missing sword.

“That is a plausible explanation, but why a Chinese fountain? It proves the priest was a phony and knew little about Japanese culture; it’s puzzling?” Kane said, turning to the side as the path widened so they all could walk together.

“I have a question. Sue Lee. You told me your uncle was on his way to Tomales Bay on the day of his accident, perhaps to buy oysters? Kane said John Kim had a home on the bay. What if Yoshi was not buying oysters and on his way to see John? It’s just a thought, but what if Yoshi, the Chinese fountain, John Kim, and Mr. Yin are all connected somehow?”

“John Kim had few friends, do you know if he got along with Yoshi?” Kane asked as they were walking across the driveway to Finn’s restaurant.

“Yes, a while back, he bought a few Asian items from John for his collection. Yoshi told me John had a superb collection. I, too, helped with a sale to John a few years ago.”

“Kane, is it possible to visit his home. Oh, Mary is waving us to come down to the dock,” Jane said.

Everyone pitched in and loading the pickup; Mary left to start breakfast in the cafe that was closed on Christmas Day, except for family and friends.

At first, Sue Lee was reluctant to enter the shed, afraid it would bring back Yoshi’s sad memories. Finn had stored his wrecked truck in there after the accident, but Finn whispered in her ear. “Go on in Sue Lee; it’s all gone. I salvage what I could use and sold the rest.”

After the truck was full, and John pretended he had no place to sit, they all went back inside to look at his fountain.

“Aye, John, this is a grand job of welding. You have a talent with a torch, boy, you must have made a few before?”

”Thanks, this one was the second one of its kind. I rarely get to make one twice,” John said, running his hand over the welded seam Finn was referring to; he was proud of it.

“You’ve done two, both for
