蔣勳:朋友寄來北美這個季節轉黃的銀杏葉。
因為深秋,想念起山山黃葉飛的銀杏,想念起川端康成,想念起小津安二郎。
想念起那個若無其事可以娓娓而談、也可以沈默的安靜。「雪國」或是「早安」,或是「晚秋」。
不喧嘩,不造作,平常的生活像涓涓流水,只取一瓢飲。
美,太過用力,總讓人害怕。
沒有足夠自信,生怕別人不知道,努力嘶吼,還算是美嗎?
誤以為是極致,聲嘶力竭,卻恰恰走到了美的歧途⋯⋯
這些年,他和兒子也參與受害者家屬組織,推動廢除殺人罪的時效。若沒有修法廢除時效的改革,兇手如今已能合法脫罪。這樣的堅持,不只是為了自己的家人,也能夠告慰其他的犧牲者、讓他們的家人了卻遺憾。
直到今年,警方終於找到兇手——六十九歲的安福久美子。她是高羽悟的高中同學,年輕時曾暗戀過他,還寫過情書。案發前幾個月,他們在同學會重逢,他談起自己的幸福家庭,也許是那一刻讓對方心生怨恨。DNA鑑定證實,現場的血跡就是她的。二十六年的等待,終於等來了答案。
當被問到感想時,高羽悟說:「抓到了是好事,但沒想到是認識的人,覺得對妻子很抱歉。」這句話裡沒有怨,也沒有怒,只有一種放下。那間被他守了半生的房子,終於有了意義。
這世界上,真相有時會遲到,但愛與堅持不會。高羽悟用半生告訴我們,有些人不求報復,只求一個公道;有些愛,會在漫長的歲月裡,一直等著被看見。
