One week after the experiment, Kusanagi came to Yukawa's laboratory again to express his gratitude. "With your light, my leader is very happy, thank you!" Kusanagi put the gift on the experimental table, this time it is very happy, "The police department in the jurisdiction is also very happy, they all said that there will be an incredible next time All the cases come to me—how many times have I told you that it’s not me who solves the mystery.” "Isn't that great? That's it! But it's hard to sue for homicide, right? If you irradiate someone with microwaves, you won't necessarily jump off the building."

Kusanagi sniffed his nose and nodded in agreement, "Unfortunately, as you said, in Nakagami's case, we must try our best to convict them with injury and death, but their crime is not limited to this, and it is obviously a crime of fraud. Work hard for this, and our lesson will help." "I have deceived so many people, so I have to be punished accordingly! All the cadres know about Microwave, right?" "No, the results of the investigation so far show that only the first minister, Mashima, and the second minister, Moriya, knew about it. The third minister and others also suspected that there might be some conspiracy, but they didn't know about it. Among them There are also people who believe in Ren Qi's ability."

"Then these people are all innocent, right? Who is the mastermind? After all, is it the ancestor?" Kusanagi shook his head, "That guy is just a worker, at most he is being used. The mastermind is his wife Sayoko, and that woman is the culprit of all crimes." Tang Chuan was taken aback, "His wife?" Kusanagi looked up and said, "Yes, although she is a wife, she is not officially married. That woman has a bad nature. If she hadn't met such a woman, that man might not be here." Kusanagi recalled the situation when she asked Sayoko in the interrogation room—it was completely different from the impression she had when they first met. Her eyes were indifferent, with a sneer on her lips, and her plain face became outstanding; the suit she wore was luxurious and capable , like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Combining her confession with those of Mashima and Moriya, the truth of the "Bitter Love Society" is generally shown. The content is as follows: Sayoko had previously been married to another man who ran a small-town factory, so she knew something about microwave heating. But Sayoko didn't love her husband at all, and married only for the man's property-the factory's operating conditions were indeed good at that time. Under the influence of the long-term economic downturn, the operation of the factory gradually went downhill, which also affected their lives. Sayoko hated the frugal life and ran away from home.

Afterwards, she sold water for a living, and only returned home when she heard that her husband had died of illness. This was because she was not divorced, so she could get compensation from her husband's life insurance, and she also planned to get some inheritance. Little did she know that while she was away from home, the situation in the factory worsened, and she was forced to give up the land and buildings, leaving only a little cash and an unknown machine that her husband finally developed. Not knowing what to do, Sayoko called Mashima, whom she met in gambling, and Mashima sold the machines in the closed factory to Southeast Asia through her own relationship. Sayoko also wanted to sell the wonderful machine left by her husband for money.

However, after reading the manual left by Sayoko's husband, Mashima decided that "this cannot be sold".Sayoko asked why, and he said: "This is neither an industrial machine nor a measuring machine. This thing can barely be called a health product." Mashima said that the microwave irradiation from this machine can improve blood circulation in the human body.They tried it, and sure enough, their bodies became hot.Sayoko's deceased husband wanted to use microwaves to treat blood circulation disorders, and was already preparing to apply for a patent. However, according to the records left behind, it has not been medically confirmed. Generally speaking, electromagnetic waves such as microwaves are not good for the body.

They use this idea to make a fortune. If it is a new treatment for cancer, patients will flock from all over the country. But if they do this, the lie will be exposed quickly. They think it is better to hide the machine, and they have chosen a wall material that allows microwaves to penetrate the next room, so that people don’t know why their bodies will heat up. It is estimated that everyone will do this. To be amazed, arguably some kind of superpower. This requires new collaborators. Like Mashima, Moriya is a gambler of Sayoko. Moriya has made money by selling inspiration, and he has a way to apply for a religious corporation.The three of them made a careful plan with Sayoko as the center, and set up a new sect somewhere. The selling point is the covert use of microwaves.

At this time, Sayoko met Kazuo Ishimoto. Ishimoto was a registered qigong master who carried out disease diagnosis and treatment. Although some people commented that it was effective, others said it had no effect. This man can be used - Sayoko thought so when she saw Ishimoto for the first time. He looks not bad, has an intellectual temperament, and has a strong acting ability, and most importantly, he is intoxicated by his own ability.Although Sayoko doesn't believe in qigong, Ishimoto believes that he has special abilities. He has no intention of deceiving patients, which is why his words are very convincing and can convince the listener.

Sayoko approached Ishimoto. Ishimoto, who was single, had never dated a woman. Sayoko seduced him. He quickly fell under her pomegranate skirt and was fascinated by her. Taking advantage of the right time, Sayoko told Ishimoto about the idea of ​​establishing a sect. Although Ishimoto was hesitant at first, he was instigated by the saying "Only you can become the ancestor" and agreed.Sayoko also introduced Ishimoto to Mashima and Moriya. In this way, the new religious group "Bitter Aihui" was established-bitter love has no special meaning. Although the founder is Ishimoto, the organization of the religious group is centered on Sayoko. The vocabulary was all created by her, and she also came up with the name of Lian Qi Zhiguang to make Ishimoto change his name.This is because the godfather must have a name that feels like an oracle. In fact, Renzaki is Sayoko's maiden name. She has been using it when she separated from her ex-husband. Mashima and Moriya often call her Renzaki.

They started from a small building borrowed in the suburbs. The power of the microwave device far exceeded their imagination. After a little demonstration in front of the crowd, everyone believed in the superpowers of Ishimoto, that is, Tohiko Renzaki. They also spent money to brag about the effect of "sending chanting", and soon some people who recovered from "sending chanting" actually appeared. This is the so-called "placebo" effect.In this way, no matter what to do in the future, it will be easier. The amulets, water bottles and other lucky items they made, as long as they are placed in the rally, no matter how expensive they are, they will be sold out.They also hired gunmen and published five books under Tohiko Renzaki's name, each of which was a bestseller.

The headquarters of the religious order has also changed from a small building to a five-story building in just two years, and the number of cadres has also increased.However, I didn't tell them about the microwave device—the fewer people who know the secret, the better, which was Saiko's suggestion. The church has successfully increased many believers, but recently there have been headaches.Relying on word of mouth alone, the effect is limited, it is an opportunity to expand popularity. At this time, there were rumors among the believers that some cadres had appropriated the assets of the sect for themselves. This clearly referred to Mashima and Moriya. Mashima and the others sent spies to investigate the movement among the believers. Surprisingly, it was Masakazu Nakagami, who was in charge of the treasury, who spread the rumors, and Nakagami wanted to lead people to the competing religious order to "guard the light". The angry Sayoko had a bold idea, which was to let Nakagami realize the true power of Lian Qi Zhiguang, and always remember that betrayal cannot be forgiven.Generally, when "sending chanting", a very small microwave setting is used. If the maximum power is used, it will make people feel as if they are being roasted by a fire. However, Sayoko and Mashima all claimed that they did not intend to kill Nakagami, nor did they expect him to jump off the building. "Although their excuses are inappropriate, it is difficult to overturn their claims," ​​Kusanagi said, "You also said that this is indeed not a method of killing people. From the actual operation, I don't know what will happen. The range of microwave irradiation is limited. People on the side can't feel the heat, right?" "Yes," Tang Chuan nodded and said yes, "They know the truth, and I think that's why they dealt with it so calmly." "I think it's not just intimidation, but the intention to kill from the very beginning. At least their idea is that it doesn't matter if they die. As long as you see that woman, you will believe it. What's more, the evil thing about this woman is that she even used Killing people to promote the sect. Although I said that the incident happened by chance, it must have been calculated for the reporter of "TRY Weekly" to attend." "Is that the woman who operates the machine?" "Yes, she's hiding next door to the 'purification room', watching everything operating the machine from the one-way mirror you saw through." "Well, just listening to what you said, I feel that this is a woman who likes to direct in the background." "She doesn't think so herself, she thinks she is the role of producer." Kusanagi thought of Saiko's face again. "It's funny," said the thick-skinned villain, "no matter how skeptical people are, they can be changed at the touch of a button, easily become believers, whoever wants to do what I want, and I don't need them to ask me to do it." You can give alms to them, and you can still get people’s gratitude—it’s so simple to think about it.” There was no sadness in her tone. Although she would not be prosecuted for homicide, when they hit the top, it felt like a game. And Sayoko does not think she is guilty of fraud, she emphasized that using microwaves is just for show. "It's the same as playing the organ and singing hymns in the church. It's just a performance for the believers. What's wrong with it?" Kusanagi deeply remembered her expression without guilt. "This kind of woman is always ignorant and fearless! By the way, what happened to the ancestor?" Tang Chuan asked, "Suddenly became a liar." "In a sense, that guy is the biggest victim," Kusanagi said. Shi Ben, who was taken to the interrogation room, could not accept the fact that he was a member of the fraud gang, and he himself was not very clear about the trick of using microwave devices. "I just heard that it is an auxiliary machine that allows me to maximize my strength. In fact, after using that machine, many people have been rescued, and I myself feel better than when I only use Qigong. Sublimation. Please tell Sayoko that it doesn’t matter if you don’t use the machine, and the two of you can start from scratch—please tell her that’s what I said.” When the investigators heard this, they thought he was just pretending, but after listening to his words carefully, they felt that he was not. "That guy has always believed that his power is real and can really help believers, so when the crime happened, he really wanted to surrender. He really felt that he had killed someone. It is estimated that Sayoko and others used his idea What they thought was that if the patriarch surrendered himself, the publicity effect would be better, and they thought they would never be found guilty anyway. According to the guards, he had been meditating all the time in the detention center, and it didn’t look like he was staged.” Hearing Kusanagi's words, Yu Chuan expressed regret. He raised his glasses with his fingers, "It is not only believers who are deluded by the sect, but also the patriarch." "Yes, ah, that's right..." Kusanagi took out the envelope from his pocket, "My sister sent it here, thank you for saving her mother-in-law from being deceived." "You don't have to be so polite, what tickets are there?" "Yeah, it's an admission ticket." Tang Chuan opened the envelope, took out the ticket, and there was a note inside. Looking at Tang Chuan, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. "What's wrong?" Kusanagi asked. Yukawa showed the ticket to Kusanagi, "It's the National Divination Festival." "Divination?" "The note also said 'Thank you so much this time! Thanks for guessing right this time, go watch it with your girlfriend!'" "That silly woman... sorry, throw it away!" "How can this be? Guessed correctly? These words have profound meaning! Then I will accept it." Yukawa put the ticket into the pocket of his white coat.
