Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Shoes

Qianjuan picked up the phone receiver, and her heart throbbed again and again. "Hello, hello." "Is it madam?" the other party asked.It was a very familiar voice. "It's me." Qianjuan replied. "I'm Zongfang." Sure enough, it was Zongfang's voice from the AD medical software company. "Actually, things are not going well." Zongfang, who is usually active, came up and said this without even exchanging pleasantries. "The TV program has reported it, and I think the newspaper will be more detailed. It is a very bad major computer crime case that has been discovered. In fact, I think this has happened for half a year. The TC company that was violated is doing internal and external joint investigation."

One of the characteristics of computer crime cases is that most of the victimized companies do not report to the police, but adopt the method of internal secret investigation.Hearing this, Chijumaki couldn't help thinking about Odagiri.As far as enterprises are concerned, they are worried that their reputation will be damaged, their reputation will be lost, and their performance will be affected, so almost all of them are concealed. However, such criminals belong to high IQ crimes, and generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to find them. Some of them were caught after a few years, and some disappeared into the "darkness" for various reasons, as Odagiri once said.

"The general situation of the incident is as follows. The OA computer system of TC Company was damaged. I went to work on April 3. It was a reclamation day, and the person in charge of the system room discovered it as soon as he used the computer. Probably Madam has heard of it. Well, the access to the computer system has a password, that is to say, it is an instruction to turn on the computer. Everyone in the system room has their own instructions, but they all have different programs. Depending on the program, it is possible to restrict intrusion into the computer. Internal scope; of course, the password program of the manager of the system room is the highest, that is to say, the most complex, so once he knows his password program, he can control the entire computer system; Steal it, or get rid of it all."

"This is an important case!" Qianjuan said. "Yeah, I heard that the loss is calculated in units of billions of yen! If the system is to be re-established, it will cost a huge amount of money and a lot of time, and various businesses will have to stop during this period." "So, how did this password get leaked?" Qianjuan asked. "I heard that the password of the manager of the system room is 32 digits, and he couldn't write it down. So he wrote it down in a notebook. He often puts that notebook in his coat pocket. Sometimes he takes off his coat and puts it on the It can be hung on the back of a chair or hung in the cloakroom. Therefore, if someone wants to steal the password, there is still a chance. Not only the personnel in the system room, but all personnel of the company can freely enter and exit the system room. , it will become paralyzed after a long time. 'Tigers still have time to take a nap'."

"In TC Company, a special team was set up to conduct a one-by-one secret investigation of the employees in the system room and the whole company. As a result, the names of Tokyo Software Center and Kuramotomi appeared." Even so, how did Zongfang know such details? A thought of doubt welled up in Qianjuan's heart. "Judging from this conclusion, Yuanmei did have a close relationship with the young man in the system room before this incident. The Tokyo Software Center had a secret deal with TC Company, and from Yuanmei's position as a secretary , She approached the people in TC company for other purposes... and the man in the system room concealed this matter at first, but later when others reported that Yuan Mei frequently appeared in the company and was tracked down , he confessed that he had indeed brought Yuan Mei into the system room. Therefore, this time, Yuan Mei's criminal background must be thoroughly investigated. Of course, she also stubbornly denied her criminal facts at first, and then she finally could not Rejected and admitted everything. Because she also realized that this is a very bad corporate crime, and it is also a very important event for TC Corporation, so she had to admit it!"

"Corporate crime?" Chijumaki asked. "Yes. As far as the company is concerned, the director of a certain medical device and an important manufacturing company Beidou Electronics that has a competitive relationship. It is very likely that Yuanmei was instigated to destroy TC's OA system. At least there is such an obvious fact That is, Yuan Mei has maintained a long-term lover relationship with a staff member in the company who had access to the company's secret information; and recently the two suddenly broke off the relationship for some unknown reason. She can do the same for reasons of hatred. Of course, I haven't met Wakura Motomi directly, but judging from the fact that she has a complicated relationship with several men, it is very similar to the role of a corporate 'conspiracy'."

It was as if Zongfang had seen through Qianjuan that he had seen He Cangyuanmei before, which surprised Qianjuan. "The director of the Beidou Electronics Company finally bought Yuanmei with money, so Yuanmei agreed to try to get close to the young employee in the system room of TC Company she had known before... For Yuanmei, it seems that she already has a set How to get close to him and extract instructions from him. But it was better than she expected; Before that, I must have heard the saying that the instructions were written in the notebook. She wrote down the number of instructions in the notebook in the bathroom, and then quickly put it back in the jacket pocket..."

"So. She has already mastered the procedure of opening the OA system in TC Company?" "..." Zongfang did not answer, in fact he admitted Chijumaki's speculation: "However, there is another problem here. Although I know a few opening instructions, we must use this to destroy the company's system, and we cannot leave criminals behind." Traces, this requires quite high computer knowledge and technology!" This point is the same as what Zong Fang said on the radio just now. "Of course, from this point of view, Yuanmei is impossible. Madame, in fact, this has something to do with you, please listen to me slowly..." Chijumaki had instinctively realized what he was going to say .

"The results of the police's investigation of Yuanmei—she named the accomplice, Ashida-kun." "Nonsense..." Chijum said reflexively. "Don't worry, listen to me," Zongfang continued, "Yuanmei told Mr. Ashida the order, and he can use his computer to enter the TC company's system very conveniently and send it to the 'Eliminate' order, without revealing any clues." "But, how could she and Ashida..." Qianjuan regretted it after saying this sentence.If it is investigated, Ashida's betrayal will be in danger of being found out.

But Zongfang also seemed to understand this very well, and continued in a very calm tone: "When Yuanmi confessed Ashida's name, the Akabane Police Department invited by TC Corporation was about to send investigators to investigate the internal affairs of TC Corporation. The personnel requirements. Of course, I don’t know the details. But the police also expressed doubts about her confession at the time. So, she confessed that Mr. Ashida approached her boss about a year ago—— —Director Chuoka. The two reached a secret deal: Mr. Ashida sold part of the projects he was researching to the Tokyo Software Center. Later, Motomi contacted him. Through several phone calls and several meetings Afterwards, Yuanmei was fascinated by Ashida-kun, and Ashida-kun also fell in love with her, and they hit it off..."

"..." "That is to say, for computers, Ashida-kun has a certain genius, and he also likes his work very much. He can say that he can score 12 points!" "Well, for him, the computer is above all things." "Anyway, Yuanmei is Yuanmei. In the computer world, he must be a man. A man believes in the value of self-existence. A man who doesn't understand computers is like a stupid man. Therefore, for Yuanmei, Ashida-kun is The perfect man in her mind. The relationship between two people can be said to be a very interesting topic in this regard." Hearing this, Chijumura couldn't say anything. "Because the police are investigating, maybe they will go to your house. Although Ashida-kun's name has not been reported in the press, it may be just a matter of time. Maybe it will be lively soon." "Thank you so much for introducing so many things." "It's nothing. Regarding the private transaction, it's being verified. I'll let you know the result." Zong Fang added in a businesslike manner, and hung up the phone. "Does Madam know this too?" Although Zongfang didn't ask, Qian Juan felt that Zongfang began to doubt. The next day, at 9 o'clock in the morning on October 1st, the doorbell of Chimaki's house rang. When Chijuan asked, the other party really replied: "The staff of the Akabane Police Station". She opened the door.Behind the two middle-aged plainclothes is the Mori Kane Police Department of the Fuchu Police Station.Seeing them, Qianjuan couldn't help feeling a little panicked.Maybe this time the police are going to link the homicide with computer crime. The two people who came here for the first time were the police department of the Second Search Division of the Metropolitan Police Department and the police department of the Akabane Police Station. It seems that this incident has something to do with the headquarters. Chimaki let the three of them into the living room and sat down.For the date last night, the fresh beige roses that Qianjuan bought suddenly wilted today. Last night - after Zong Fang called.Chijumaki immediately called Kaji, but he didn't come back. An hour later, he called. Qian Juan didn't ask about Hua Ze's family, and immediately told Ah Kaji the content of Zong Fang's call, and wanted to ask if he could meet. "I don't know when the police will come." Ah Kaji remained silent for a long time as if he had been shocked, "Understood, you have to be more careful." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. The two people from the General Office and the Akabane Office asked a lot about Ashida's work, but since Chimaki didn't know anything about it, they seemed dissatisfied.I didn't hide anything, and I don't know if Zongfang and Morian have explained to them. So, as if they didn't give up, the two people turned the topic to Yuan Mei again. "When did Wakura Motomi come to your house?" "No, I don't know at all." The two people were a little surprised when they heard it. "Yuanmei came to your house, called your house, and acted as the contact person for your husband and Chugang, didn't you know?" "No, I don't know anything about it." "Then, what about your husband's private transaction with Tokyo Software Center?" For a split second, Qianjuan's mind was bewildered.Keep it a secret?However, they continue to investigate Yuanmei, and everything will come to light.No, maybe they know everything, just listen to Qianjuan's circumstantial evidence. "Actually, after my husband died, I met Miss Yuanmei once." Qianju decided to confess. Three months before the Ashida incident, I saw her husband and Hatsuoka together in a restaurant in Shibuya.No, when she knew that this person was called Hatsuoka, it was when she saw him again at the farewell ceremony.But after that, I asked to meet him and went to the Tokyo Software Center, but he was not there, and Wakura Motomi was replaced. From her mouth, she learned that her husband was doing this kind of thing.But she didn't want to admit that it was true, so she didn't explain it to the company and the police.He is her husband after all... "So that's the case……" The police department nodded with the same expression. "Aside from this transaction, does your husband have anything else to do?" The police department asked again. "No, I have been asked several times, because I don't understand computers at all, so I don't pay attention to the people my husband associates with." "Ok……" The two chatted in low voices for a while, and gave Mori and the police department a look. So Sen Jian said: "Yuanmei confessed that she and your husband began dating more than a year ago; then, you don't feel any changes in your husband?" "Ah...special..." Qianjuan lowered her head, biting her lips tightly.On the surface, I look like my very happy wife, but how can I say this kind of thing?I didn't notice anything... "So, can we take a look at Mr. Ashida's study?" "please." The three men stood up and followed Qian Juan to the study. While the first-timers checked their desks and computers, Morikaga opened the curtains and looked out. There are two apple-sized pots for planting flowers in the yard, and two blooming cosmoses grow in the pots.Through this yard, you can just see Kaji's house.Of course he is at the company now, not at home, and the curtains are still drawn on the windows. Senjuan was in a panic as to what exactly he was observing. The two people from the main hall opened the door to the inner room of the study.After looking at the bed, they whispered a few words. Seeing this scene, Mori Kane walked behind Chimaki. "Maybe it's too cruel to say this, but Mr. Ashida and Ms. Motomi did distort the trajectory of their lives through computers, and ended up being played by machines. Isn't Mr. Ashida's boastful talent and technology just because of his addiction to crime Is he in the quagmire of the crime? It is also because of Yuan Mei's all-out throwing at him that he slid towards the direction of crime." There is no need for Mori Kane to say anything, Chijumaki can fully imagine what kind of "relationship" her husband and Motomi have achieved in this room.But Sen Kane's words just now deeply hurt her heart. "I... have something, you have to take a look..." Saying that, Chijumaki took out a piece of tissue paper, "This was found on Ashida's quilt before the incident, and I don't know who it is s hair." Ashida and Motomi conspired to sabotage the OA software of TC Corporation, as the first serious computer crime case of bad conduct, which was exaggerated in the news media on the third day. "Borers that burrow into businesses!" The newspaper took this as a headline, exposing the facts of how the planning director of Beidou Electronics Company instigated Wonmi to commit computer crimes. Yuan Mei has confessed that Ashida's remuneration is 10 million yen, and she will hand it over to Ashida afterwards.But where did they come from for such a large sum of cash?Who else is behind them?This suspicion is under investigation. In fact, just the day before these reports, that is, the evening of the second day when Mori and the others came, reporters from TV stations and newspapers flocked, and the phone rang non-stop.But Chijumaki neither opened the door nor answered the phone.She really wanted to hide at her natal home, but as soon as she went out, she would be surrounded by reporters immediately, so she had to hide at home to get through this time. The contact with Ah Kaji was also consciously broken, but when she saw the light shining through the curtains of his house that night, Chijuan felt great comfort in her heart; hold on for another two or three days! On the afternoon of the third day when she was bored at home, she heard this report from the TV with very low volume: "Wakura Motomi, who was arrested by the police for using a computer crime, admitted last night that she killed the accomplice Ashida Kazuken. Ashida is also a suspect. That is, in May of this year, he died after being struck on the head with a murder weapon in his study. If Kazukura confesses..." Chijum's mind was seized by the announcer's voice: "The Wakura suspect admitted that he came to Ashida's home at about 3 pm on May 1 this year...the two first talked about the reward for computer crimes, that is, the cash given by the planning director of Beidou Electronics, and then had a quarrel... ...the motive for the murder is under investigation..." Since the broadcast time of the news at this time is very short, it is just a summary.Then, Chimaki walked towards the phone.She looked up the phone number from the Quick Fact Sheet and dialed. "I am Fuchu Police Station." A man said. "My name is Ashida, please find Mr. Mori Kanae, Chief Criminal Section." "Mrs. Ashida?" "Yes, it's the May incident, the wife of the deceased." The other party was taken aback: "Please wait a moment." After waiting for a long time, that person picked up the phone again, "The section chief is out, can you tell me?" Chijumaki hesitated for a moment, then asked Mori Kane to contact him when he came back. Is what the news said true? Could it be that I heard wrong? Chijumaki lost more and more confidence. Yuan Mei killed my husband? Why is this? At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the phone rang.Ah Kaji's house lights are not on yet! As usual, Chiju quickly came to answer the phone—it was Morikane. "Interrupted that day. Have you seen the news?" "yes……" "It's all thanks to my wife's help to catch the murderer! That hair played a decisive role!" "So... is it true?" "Of course it's true! No, actually, I've been investigating this matter for the past two or three days, and I just wanted to call you today to inform you, and then go to your house..." Sure enough, two hours later, at around 10 o'clock, Mori Kane came. During this period, Chimaki looked at Kaji's window several times, but he didn't seem to come back yet. "The hair Madam found is a strong evidence!" Sen Jian's bear-like body sat on the sofa, and repeated this sentence repeatedly, "Actually, when we found her and your husband When they conspired to use computers to commit crimes, I began to suspect the relationship between the two of them. Especially after the wife took out that hair. Later, Yuan Mei was investigated at the Akabane Police Station and we got a hair of hers. Of course, We didn't take any other measures. When she was under investigation for a long time, she would inevitably lose a few hairs, which she lost unconsciously." "Oh." "We sent the two hairs to the Scientific Police Research Institute, and it turned out that they belonged to the same person." Hearing this, Chijumaki's mind once again recalled Motomi's appearance in the reception room of the Tokyo Software Club.Thick chestnut hair and wheat-colored skin, and those piercing eyes looking down at him mockingly. It was this woman, in her own home, on the bed in her husband's study, the two of them... "This investigation came to an end. When Motomi was handed over to the Fuchu Police Station, the relationship between her and Mr. Ashida was questioned. She admitted that she only admired Mr. Ashida's talent very much, and denied everything else. Later we took out that She admitted that she and Mr. Ashida were not only accomplices in computer crimes, but also had a physical relationship more than a year ago. The first time she went to Mr. Ashida's study was commissioned by Hatsuoka , The two of you were having fun on that bed. Later, after my wife joined the tennis club, she followed your schedule..." Sen Kane paused, and took the coffee sent by Chiju in his hand.He took two or three sips like savoring. "Then, that woman killed my husband..." Chijumaki said in a slightly trembling voice. "Oh. These two people are immersed in the joy of using computers to commit crimes. Both of them, especially Ashida, think this is an interesting thing." - At this time, Mori Kane had already called "Ashida". "During this period, Yuanmei accepted a promise of 10 million yen from the director of Beidou Electronics Company if she destroyed TC's system. Later, she used that man to steal the command number, and then through Ashida, she completely destroyed the system. The OA system. This incident has been reported. But Ashida didn’t seem to know that Motomi got the money at the time. On the evening of May 13, when the incident happened, Motomi went to meet Ashida. That kind of relationship happened again Finally, she asked Ashida to do computer crimes. This time they had to choose a suitable company. Yuanmei accidentally revealed that she had received 10 million yen in compensation last time, so Ashida became angry... Ashida thought she He did this kind of thing entirely to prove his talent. It would be embarrassing and embarrassing for people to know that he was talented for money. He also felt that Yuan Mei was too shameful, so he said a few words, and at the same time asked Yuan Mei to give up money back... "Motomi was shocked, so she asked Ashida; 'If you say that, but you secretly sold the research results to Hatsuoka?!' "'That's different, my research results are not recognized by the company, so I want to make it work, so I sold it to the Tokyo Software Club. This is the pride of the technicians, and it is definitely not for money! ' "So Yuanmei laughed at him; 'When will you say such beautiful words? You are 38 years old. The age of computer technicians is under 40 years old. If you don't do this kind of thing, you will earn everything in the future. No more! If you still...' "As soon as age was mentioned, Ashida couldn't control himself. Probably because he deeply pricked his sensitive nerves. It was as if his scars were suddenly uncovered by Yuanmei. Ashida beat him hard. Yuan Mei slapped Yuan Mei, and Yuan Mei immediately shouted like crazy: "Be careful to provoke me, I will expose your secret! You sold information and destroyed TC's computer system... I will let you get out the company's!' "Ashi Tian became even more angry, he frantically wrestled with Yuan Mei, his usual gentle and gentle image disappeared, like a madman. "Yuanmei wondered if he would kill me in a fit of anger, so she fled from the small room to the study. She picked up something and threw it at Ashida who was chasing after her. Suddenly, her hand touched The ruler. When she held it in her hand, Lutian also rushed behind her. So she slammed hard behind her. Lutian screamed and fell to the ground. His head was covered with blood, and he wanted to crawl Going back to the hut, seeing this scene, Yuan Mei thought to herself, 'I will never stop doing one thing', so she chased after her in the hut, and attacked Ashida again. Ashida fell motionless on the bed in the hut... This is what Yuanmei confessed." Chiju listened in surprise. Sen Jian also paused, and then, as if she was about to finish everything, she spoke again: "Afterwards, she made up her mind to turn this place into a scene of burglary, murder and murder. She also used a towel to wipe everything in the room. After gently wiping all the places where fingerprints might have been left, I went out of the study, went up to the second floor, opened the wardrobe and all the drawers in the room, made a mess inside, and took away the cash and rings. Fortunately, at that time She came in a coat so she could put it on to hide the blood. The gate was locked and she left your house by the door that led to the garage." "It's all her confession?" "Yes. We verified it against the evidence collected at the scene, and it was consistent with her statement. If she hadn't been to the scene in person, the description would not be so clear, so we think she is the murderer." Morian saw that Chiju was surprised by this conclusion.He shrugged.Saying that further investigation is needed, he left Ashida's house. The time is half past eleven. Chimaki went to the west window again.She put her eyes on the gap in the curtains, and a faint light came out from the window of Kaji's house. Qianjuan opened the glass window of the study, and gusts of night wind filled with mist blew in. If Yuan Mei's crimes are made public, maybe the social news and public opinion circles will pay attention to this house again.In that case, it would be impossible to restrict the reporters from observing the inside and outside of the room from any angle... Then it would be impossible to have a tryst with Kaji again, right? She came to the courtyard, passed through the gaps in the bushes, and came to Akaji's courtyard. The living room on the first floor had the curtains drawn, but it could be seen that the lights were on, and she tapped lightly on the windowpane.After only two knocks, a figure could be seen shaking in the room.Kaji opened the curtain a little, recognized Chimaki, and immediately opened the door. After Chimaki entered the room, Kaji quickly looked around, then quickly closed the door and drew the curtain. Under the illumination of the floor lamp, the two stood facing each other. It's been 10 days, and it's the first time they look at each other like this.When Qianju made an appointment to have dinner with him that day, Kaji was called by Hanazawa.Later, Qianjuan felt that Kaji was "seduced" by Hanazawa; then Zongfang called and told her that she had found a clue that TC Company's OA system had been destroyed.Since then, in order to avoid the attention of the social news media, Chijuan has been hiding at home all day; she does not answer the phone, nor does she go out again... Kaji Yukio's face is different from Chimaki's.Thin eyebrows, and a pair of somewhat melancholy eyes.Brown eyes full of wisdom and somewhat sick, radiating a warm luster, thin cheeks and a pointed chin.At this time, his lips were slightly opened, revealing the white and neat teeth inside. what!Why do I fall in love with this man! Why?Can't say clearly.Maybe this is fate. When Qianjuan's eyes were filled with hot tears, Ah Kaji suddenly stopped her. "I miss you!" Kaji's mouth blocked Chijumaki's sobs, and the two twisted greedily.At some point, Qianjuan became limp and weak, and was carried to the sofa by Ah Kaji. "Did you hear that? He Cangyuanmei confessed that she killed Ashida." Qianjuan asked in a hoarse voice.Akaji nodded silently. "It really wasn't you" Akaji nodded again. "Why didn't you explain, why did you let me see you as the murderer?" Qianjuan blamed. "This is... As I said at the beginning, you shot and killed Odagiri to protect me. At that time you said that you were going to surrender, but I will never allow you to do that." He put his hand on Chijumaki's shoulders, shook his head clearly. "If I say that I didn't kill Mr. Ashida, then Odagiri will never believe it. If you confess, others will not believe that you killed Odagiri. Therefore, your confession can only arouse suspicion from the police. At that time That's what I thought. Anyway, it'll be all right after a while." "Therefore, if you turn yourself in, I will also be investigated. If it is found out that I have done economic espionage before and moved here to spy on Mr. Ashida's research results, will the police still believe my defense? I am not the murderer who killed Mr. Ashida; but Odagiri was too impulsive at that time, you accidentally picked up the gun and pulled the trigger out of self-defense reaction, if you surrendered to the police after killing him, Even if we can't find out the basis for our crime, then at least we can find that there is still a relationship between us that has existed since before the incident..." After Ah Kaji said this, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared in his eyes: "Don't the police suspect that we conspired to kill Odagiri who had the facts of our conspiracy to kill Mr. Ashida? In this way , how can I clear my innocence..." "My husband's incident, I have an 'alibi'! But you..." The "alibi" for going to Atami that afternoon was easily deciphered by Odagiri.At this time, Chijumaki recalled this incident.Indeed, after 4 o'clock, I took the Shinkansen and got off at Remei, and met with acquaintances at the ticket gate.They chatted until 4:30, and then left the station by taxi—these were all confessed by the hostess of the hotel, so Ah Kaji's "alibi" was established.If Kaji was still in Atami at 4:30 until Chiju returned home, it is true that Kaji would not be able to do the crime. However, Odagiri finally found out the fact that the female boss who served as a witness had repayed Kaji in the past; in addition, strictly speaking, the fact that he took a taxi to see his mother was the only testimony of the female boss. The waitress who came with me went to buy a ticket and was not there.Therefore, the testimony of the female boss that "A Kaji left by taxi at 4:30" should be said to be unlikely... "Odagiri intends to destroy my 'alibi', but at that time he was only suspicious, it was just a hypothesis, and it could not be a legal basis. Anyway, the fact that I broke up with the female boss at 4:30 is beyond doubt! However, the police Maybe I will agree with Odagiri's opinion. Because the police urgently need to catch the murderer. As soon as I stand in front of them, the target will point to you and me, wondering whether we will have a deeper relationship. Generally, the police tend to "adult out of love" Human life' kind of thing." "That's right." Chijumaki sighed, and cohered in a timid tone, "That's what happened. It seems that killing Odagiri won't solve the problem. Only when we are arrested, it seems that the matter can finally be resolved." "Be patient for a while longer. It's been 3 months, and now the body has turned to bones. I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize the identity!" "..." "Anyway, stay here for a few more days, don't be paralyzed, and avoid people's eyes and ears. After one day, we will stay away from danger and wait for a new life to start! Please believe this." Kaji approached Chimaki again and pushed her down on the sofa. Chijumaki let him caress.She believed what he said. But…… What would I do to him? However, because Akaji's further actions interrupted Chijum's thoughts, she was also intoxicated in the intense love with Akaji.However, the thought could not be erased. Four days later, more than 10 persons in charge of the case, headed by the Morikana police department, brought Wakura Motomi to Chiju's home.After the execution order was presented, the suspect in the murder of Ashida had to be verified on the spot. Qianjuan avoided looking directly at Yuanmei, and when the group of people entered, she "hid" into the bedroom.Of course, many journalists flocked here, but the police resolutely refused to interview, and it was a bit chaotic outside. A few days later, Zongfang from AD Company brought his lawyer to Chijumaki's house. "Your husband is an employee of the company, but he sold some research results to Tokyo Software Center privately, which has constituted a crime." The lawyer in his early 40s said solemnly, "However, in view of the He is no longer criminally liable, but there are still civil issues. Your husband has incurred a 'damage debt' to the company; and you, as his wife, will inevitably bear this part of the debt on his behalf." "yes……" "It is said that your husband received 10 million yen in funds from the Tokyo Software Center, but the losses caused to the company far exceeded this amount. As the company, we will also file a complaint of 'abetting a crime' to Hatsuoka depending on the situation. Allegations. We will keep you informed of how the situation develops in the future.” "The amount of compensation proposed by the company to Madam has not yet been determined..." Zong Fang interjected: "However, Madam can keep the right to maintain the amount of money needed for future living. And this company is by no means ruthless and disregarding the facts." Zong Fang still smiled frankly after saying this sentence as before. .But it immediately became very serious, "However, TC Company, whose OA system was destroyed by Mr. Ashida, specifically asked his wife to pay compensation. Of course, this is inevitable. Maybe the amount will not be small..." "But I have..." Before Qianjuan finished speaking, the lawyer turned to the haggard-faced Qianjuan again: "If you are really in financial difficulty, you can give up the inheritance right; in this way, you don't have to 'inherit' the debt. Of course, if the property is greater than the debt, That’s another matter.” "Then what should I do?" Qianjuan asked eagerly as if he had caught a life-saving straw. "Ah, there's still time to study this question, I think we'll wait until later." Maybe Zongfang has seen through Qianjuan's inner world, and purposely put it off. After entering mid-November, some leaves on the farm have turned brown, and people smell the smell of hay. When the dry wind blows everywhere and the skin feels cold, Chijumaki feels that it has returned to the calm days.There was no report of the discovery of Odagiri's body, and she lived in daily fear, but she always felt that someone would find her at any moment. During this day, just like what Ah Kaji said, the only consolation is that Chijumaki thinks that she is getting far away from danger day by day. Unconsciously, the mind has relaxed a little, and with the loneliness and the loneliness of sunrise and sunset, I feel even more desolate now.Not only that, but with the arrival of late autumn, Qianjuan became even more depressed. Wait a little longer, and you can be with Kaji with peace of mind.Chijumaki hoped so. The two of them just talked on the phone, keeping trysts to a minimum.Because they know that the police will not easily give up any clues and any possibility; and the press will not relax any pursuit of events they are interested in. The days are getting shorter. As soon as it got dark, Qianjuan involuntarily looked at the window of Ah Kaji's house through the curtains, waiting for the lights in his house to come on, and waiting for him to call.Day after day like this, Ah Kaji was also very punctual, and whenever this happened, Chijuan felt a sense of security in his heart. "Next week, let's meet again? It's okay, right? I'm very lonely..." "Yeah, I miss you too." After the phone call, the two of them couldn't help saying a few more provocative words. but-- When Chijumaki called Kaji as soon as she saw the light in Kaji's house, she felt a sense of impetuousness on both sides.But this is not the case this time. After Qianju finished dialing the phone, Ah Kaji didn't come to answer it for a long time. After repeated calls several times, still no one answered the phone.It was getting darker.Due to the remoteness of the area, it got dark earlier, and the area around 9:30 was completely invisible.At this time, if someone shouted outside, it would be very loud. In the middle of the night on November 20th, Qianjuan suddenly heard a few sharp young girl's voices, mixed with a few low-pitched male voices.She looked out of the window in surprise—the sound came from Ah Kaji's courtyard. 为了仔细看一看，千卷来到书房，拉开了窗帘。由于阿梶的家和对面的花泽的家都亮着灯，因此两家院子里都看得很清楚。 阿梶抱着花子，那只小狗就紧紧地贴在他的脚边，正在朝这边走过来。好像阿梶刚刚从花泽家走出来一样。 “花子，今晚住在我这儿好吧？……住不住都可以，你说吧！不，你还是回去吧！”阿梶一边笑着一边把花子放下来，并拍了拍小狗的头，“好了，回去休息吧？” “嗯，睡觉觉吧。”花子用儿童语说道，“还来啊！” “放心吧，我一定去！” 于是，花子高高兴兴地回到了她家的院子里。阿梶则一直站在自己的院门口，挥动着手目送花子进了家门。然后他打开房门，这时，他好像朝千卷的书房那儿看了一眼，但由于书房没有开灯，大概他没有看清千卷在那里吧。 千卷拉上了窗帘，回到了起居室。 她心不在焉地盯着电话机，但许久铃声也没有响起来。千卷赌气地也不想打，但还是冲动地拿起了话筒。 ——占线。 他在和花泽通话？ 也许他一进屋就打到现在？ 阿梶的家里亮着灯，可刚才打电话没人接，肯定是在花泽家。 我们都说好了！可他却偏偏上她们家去！千卷心中一阵怒火腾升，但突然又感到了一种心力交瘁的无力，她呆呆地站在那里。 再和阿梶约会时，我内心以是这样想的：我没有忘记，是我杀死了小田切，为了保护你。不知为什么，我对他总有一种报恩的想法。但是，我知道今天我已经没有这种资格了。对于他来说，我已经成了会妨碍他的绊脚石了，他害怕被牵连上，便急匆匆地埋了小田切，又投入到另一个新欢怀中。 瘟神……我对他来说就是这个！也许他最终会把我抛弃…… 千卷渐渐地感到给阿梶打电话更难了。 阿梶一般是一天或两天打来一次电话，每周有一次半夜里溜进千卷的家里偷欢。但是，千卷再也不能像以前一样燃起全身心的激情，做爱都觉得索然无味。每当被阿梶紧紧搂抱着的时候，她心中就会产生一种对花泽和花子的歇斯底里祥的嫉妒，和发自心底的一种永远失去爱他的资格的悲伤。甚至她都不想碰他。即使阿梶说到这些事，千卷也马上把话题岔开。 大概是这个原因吧，她在幽会时表情十分呆板，有时常常大半天的无话可说，光是默默地坐在那里。两个人如同产生了隔阂一样。 从12月开始，花泽的上班时间好像有所变动，每当傍晚时分就可以看到她回来。虽然已进入了隆冬季节，但和怕冷的千卷不同，花泽穿得相当轻薄：上身一件十分贴身的黑色毛衣，把她那极富女性魅力的乳峰曲线表现得十分完美；一条黄色的连袜紧身裤，也把她那纤细秀美的双腿展示得恰到好处。 花泽在路上一碰到千卷就爽朗地高声打着招呼：“你好。”然后像脚踩在弹簧上一样，扭动着她那充满性感和活力的臀部朝家走去。 大概这种风情万种的女人是极能吸引住任何一个男人的吧。千卷不能不感到，最近花泽见到她时，总是流露出一种胜利者的自豪神情来。如果自己的判断是正确的话，那么她决不会从阿梶和自己之间退却了吧。而且一定会牢牢地插进两个人中间，夺走阿梶的。如同将以一个女人的优势和自信向千卷示威，迫使她放弃阿梶。 在12月6日一个风和日暖的下午，大概4点左右，千卷正在清扫庭院中的落叶，那条“杰克”来到阿梶的院子里玩耍。但花子没有来。这条小狗惠虽然很讨人喜欢，但却从不敢靠近千卷的院子。可今天有两三次要从阿梶的院子里跳过来，被千卷又赶了回去。千卷并不讨厌小狗，但一转眼她的感情就来了个180度大转变，连自己也感到吃惊。 “杰……克，杰……克……” 花泽在自己的院子里喊道。但这时的“杰克”虽然肯定听到了主人的呼唤，却一步也不想离开的样子。 由于今天没有风，所以千卷想把落叶烧掉。她回屋里去取火柴。 当她拿了火柴，又拎出一桶准备用来灭火的水时，“杰克”居然来到了她的身边。不知它找到了一个什么东西，兴奋地叼起来就又跳回到阿梶的院子里，然后又回到了花泽的身边。 “杰克，杰克！” 花泽走到“杰克”身边，给它戴上了项圈。 “怎么叫你你也不回来？！”花泽有些粗暴地连拽带抱地把“杰克”拉起来，于是便看到了它口中的东西，顿时大声斥责道，“不行！这么脏的东西，从哪儿找到的？不行，快扔掉！……扔下！！” 花泽把“杰克”口中的那个东西拽下来，顺手扔进了阿梶和千卷两个院子之间的灌木丛中。 “这么脏的东西！”她一边抱着“杰克”，一边用力地拍打着它的屁股，然后大步回到了屋里。看样子她没有看到千卷。 ——这么脏的东西谁也没有看到是谁扔在这里的。 千卷心中十分愤慨，但又没有办法，她走到被花泽扔过来的东西的那个地方，打算收拾一下。 她在灌木丛的里边看到了一只男皮鞋，皮鞋的鞋带沾满了泥土，是茶色的。鞋跟比较高，是那种个子比较矮的男人常穿的样式。鞋已经相当破旧了。上面还可以看到被“杰克”叼着的时候甩掉的泥土，露出了鞋的本色。 不知为什么，千卷的视线紧紧地盯着这个“脏东西”。由于鞋的主人的习惯，已经被磨成了一个斜面，而且看上去穿得很久了。因此，千卷判断这肯定是一个矮个男人的鞋。 “那么这个人——” 她仿佛听到耳边有个声音在问自己。这是她头脑深处涌出的声音。 千卷心中一惊——
