Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The Lie of Love

After Yamaguchi learned about his wife's conversion from the Oracle Victims Association, he couldn't believe it.However, the wife did become estranged from himself. Not only the husband, but also the children are alienated.In the past, Chihiro always prepared breakfast and dinner for the children on time, but now she barely cooks. In the past, she used to nudge the children to change their underwear every day, but now she doesn't even know the dirty underwear that the children have worn for a few days. Recently, daughter Miki has started washing and cooking for her younger brother Kazuya and Yamaguchi.

"Mom is very strange recently." Mei Shu said first. "Sister, you only know, I've thought it was weird for a long time." Kazuya said. "Of course I know, but I still think it's because my mother is tired." "Mom is still a mother no matter how tired she is. Now, a mother is not like a mother." "Kazuya, what are you talking about. Although my mother is a bit strange, she is still our mother." Miki protested. "Does mother forget her child's name?" "forget?" "Yeah, mom forgot my name recently."

"Impossible." Although Mei Shu denied it, she suddenly recalled many things in her heart. Yamaguchi, who overheard the children's conversation, felt the same way. Chihiro has always called Yamaguchi Naoya like she did when she was newlyweds, but recently she stopped at the first word of her name for some reason, so she just called "you".This is something that has never happened before.It seems that I forgot my husband's name in an instant, so I had to use the second person pronoun. The wife's heart and thinking seemed to be occupied by someone, and she couldn't even remember the names of her husband and children for a while.The man who stole his wife has taken her so completely, physically and mentally, that he has made her forget her maternal instincts.

After listening to the children's conversation, Yamaguchi began to realize the seriousness of the situation. No matter how much a woman is obsessed with cheating, she will never forget her maternal instinct, so the changes in her wife are extraordinary.Could it be because of the oracle angel? The oracle angel is a legal religious legal person, and the freedom of believers is protected by the constitution, and even husbands cannot interfere. It is difficult to tell whether oracle angels are a general religion or a cult.Unlike traditional religions, emerging religions have a short history and the content of their beliefs is unknown.

However, all religions without exception use believers as a source of funds. It is difficult to conclude that it is a cult based on the fact that it requires believers to contribute property. It is precisely because of faith that we dedicate ourselves to religion without complaint or regret, so believers and outsiders have no common language. People who believe in religion must worship God and get guidance from God before all actions.Practitioners voluntarily walk the path of thorns and thorns in order to seek liberation, and others see that everything they do is in vain. If a person observes and appreciates the real world with his heart, he will definitely achieve the set goal.The goal of life preached by religion is abstract. For example, without the translation of the leader and eminent monks, ordinary people cannot hear the voices of gods and Buddhas, so they often have the illusion that the voice of the leader is the guidance of gods and Buddhas.

The teachings of gods and Buddhas are not very different. Different religions have different teachings.Because of different beliefs, people fight for justice based on the teachings of their own beliefs.The benchmark of justice is determined by gods and Buddhas, and there are not only gods and Buddhas in the world. Therefore, the benchmark of justice is not unique.That is to say, gods and Buddhas appeared first, and religion was not born naturally, but based on people's belief in gods and Buddhas. Myths, legends, etc. are all products of human imagination, and the only things that can prove the existence of gods and Buddhas are the words and paintings left by humans themselves.People often attribute supernatural phenomena that are difficult to explain by scientific principles to gods and Buddhas. Only gods and Buddhas can surpass human wisdom.

The so-called religion is an extraterritorial power that transcends people's wisdom and encompasses the human spirit.Now that there is spiritual extraterritoriality, all problems are solved.Unsolvable things can be entrusted to gods and Buddhas, and human beings can give up the spirit of hard work and only need to pray to gods and Buddhas to achieve success. But people often think that gods and Buddhas are omnipotent, and even entrust things that can be solved with a little hard work to gods and Buddhas. As a price, the client (believer) dedicates his property, time, and life to the gods and Buddhas, leaving his family with infinite troubles.

Yamaguchi believes that his wife forgot her maternal instinct because she was taken away by gods and Buddhas. It is still difficult to determine whether it is a general religion or a cult, but judging from the fact that his wife has an affair with someone, it should be a cult. Putting the cloak of religion on cheating is not using religion as a disguise, but the religion itself is full of low-level and indecent. According to Guan Wu, most of the victims' association members are the husbands and fathers of the deprived wives and daughters.They were all wives and daughters taken away by oracle angels in the form of religious beliefs.

That night, Chihiro did not come home. There have been a few weekend sleepovers before.The next morning, I went home with a swollen face. Although I was tired, I still hurriedly cooked and took care of the housework with guilt.Her excuse was to hang out with friends from the club. However, I haven't come home this morning.Yamaguchi had a sense of foreboding.When you spend the night outside, you must return home in the morning.As time passed, Yamaguchi became more and more uneasy. Could it be that his wife will never come back? If only part of the wife was stolen before, now everything is completely taken away from the wife.

Over time, the restlessness turned to despair.He is afraid of the passage of time, but at the same time he has a little luck, maybe his wife will come back. To pass the time, my wife turned on the TV.Suddenly, a scene that seemed to be the scene of a fire appeared on the TV screen. The announcer reported with a slightly excited tone that a fire broke out in a hotel on Kabuki Street in Shinjuku, and many guests were burned to death. Most of the victims were unidentified, and they were not registered because they were in a love hotel.Even the gender of some victims is unknown.The price of a night of pleasure is too cruel.

Among the dead in this tragic incident were 9 male guests, 11 females, 1 unknown gender, and 13 injured, including 7 hotel staff.This building violated the fire protection law, and there was no staff to guide the evacuation when it caught fire, so heavy losses occurred.The police and fire department are investigating the cause of the fire as arson is suspected.The scene has been reduced to ashes. Fire engines rushed from various districts in Tokyo, and ambulances also honked their horns to arrive at the scene. Because the fire broke out in Shinjuku Kabuki, it was crowded with onlookers and the scene was in chaos.A female guest who escaped from the scene was wearing only underwear, with burn marks on her blackened face. "I opened my eyes because I couldn't breathe, and the power had been cut off. Thick smoke drifted into the house. I quickly covered my nose and mouth with a wet bath towel, trying to escape from the emergency exit, but the lock couldn't be opened. I tried again. Running up the stairs to the roof only took my life." She was talking about the horrible experience just now. She did not mention her companion who lived in the same room as her, and the reporter did not press her further.Perhaps it was because he only cared about running for his own life and didn't have time to think about the safety of his companions. Even if she asked, she couldn't answer the name and origin of the strange companion she just met that night. The morning paper did not report the matter, but the evening paper in the afternoon made a detailed report.Chihiro still didn't come home.The death toll rose to 23 as people were taken to hospital and died, according to newspaper reports. All the belongings of the deceased have been burned, so it is difficult to determine the identity of the deceased, and it is difficult to confirm the progress of the work. The guests staying here seemed to be temporary companions who had just met that night.First, the woman discloses the address and contact information of the hotel where she lives, and the man invites the woman by phone that night.Many guests came to this restaurant for the first time, so their identities could not be confirmed.Many of the women did not wear hotel uniforms, and the registered addresses and contact information did not exist. The police and fire department appealed to the society through the media, if any family members, friends, or apartment partners have not returned, please contact them immediately. When Yamaguchi read the notice, his heart beat violently, and Chihiro hadn't returned home yet.His wife was still at home when he went to work yesterday, and she was not at home when he came home from get off work. So far, there is no news of his wife.When staying outside before, such a thing had never happened before, and it didn't conform to her living habits. The wife must have been unable to contact the family.He can only speculate that his wife and his cheating partner stayed at the Love Hotel on Kabuki Street last night and were engulfed in flames. The announcements from the police and the fire department did cause Yamaguchi to feel uneasy.The unidentified person has been sent to a nearby hospital, waiting for family members to confirm. The children were also worried about the mother who hadn't returned, but Yamaguchi didn't tell them his speculation.Before the matter is clarified, there is no need to let them know about their mother's disgrace. Yamaguchi hurried to the hospital where the remains were kept.At the thought of seeing his wife beyond recognition, he suppressed the sadness in his heart. His wife had an affair with others, and was burned to death in a fire at the scene of the affair.His stupid husband had to take a double whammy to identify the remains. The hospital was full of people, all of whom came to inquire about relatives who had not returned or who were worried about friends.The remains were placed in Baimu's coffin, waiting for the family members to confirm their identities, and someone has already taken the remains. "The body has been severely damaged." The police officer in charge kept reminding.Yamaguchi noted what the officer described as "serious damage." "Only non-flammable jewelry and metal objects are left. Please refer to these to confirm the remains." The police officer said. Relics marked with the number of the body were placed on several tables, watches with burnt straps, necklaces, bracelets, tie clips, metal buckles, spectacle frames, false teeth, and some metal fragments. The numbers were consistent with the coffin numbers. The family members carefully identified the smell of burnt corpses mixed with the tears of relatives, and there was an indescribable stench in the air. Yamaguchi is also looking for relics among the crowd.Not all items were found on the dead, some were found near the dead. What a sad acknowledgment that all the family members look forward to not finding the familiar item and earnestly searching! For Yamaguchi, it is necessary to confirm his wife's affair and his death, no matter how painful it is. He saw something familiar on the relic display stand, and couldn't help shouting.It is a watch from Switzerland with a silver bracelet set. He picked up the watch and engraved the words "For Chihiro, Naoya" on the back of the watch. The characters are still clear after the hellish fire. This is the commemorative watch he gave Chihiro when he was engaged. The date of presentation is also engraved on the watch.This watch is the testimony of Chihiro and Yamaguchi's life together, and Chihiro wears it to have an affair with others. Yamaguchi restrained himself and looked for the coffin with the same number as the relic.The police officer opened the lid of the coffin, and it turned out to be his wife.As the police officer said, the body was badly damaged, but the physical features of before birth could still be seen. "Is that your wife?" asked the inspector. "It's my wife, yes." "Condolences to you," the officer whispered. After the confirmed remains are certified by the family members, if there is no criminal suspicion, they can be taken away.At present, the suspicion of arson has been ruled out. It is preliminarily confirmed that the cause of the fire was that the guests smoked at night, so the remains were handed over to the family members. Yamaguchi suddenly remembered something and asked the police officer, "Does my wife have any companions?" The first news report said that among the remains found at the scene were 11 females, 9 males, and 1 person of unknown gender. If the body of unknown gender was a male, it means that there is still a missing male.Because no woman lives alone in a love hotel. If it was a temporary couple or a prostitute, the woman should usually leave first after the affair was over, but this time it was just the opposite. The inspector hesitated. "It has been confirmed that the people who were burnt to death that night had companions, and those whose gender is unknown should be male, which will be confirmed through autopsy later. The people who died in the hospital were one male and one female respectively. It now appears that there is a male guest whose whereabouts are unknown. That night, they They lived in 17 rooms, and 5 couples escaped safely. Among them, two men and one woman escaped and hid, neither of them is your wife's companion." The police officer said awkwardly. "It is possible that my wife's companion deserted her and escaped." "If no other remains are found in the future, there is a possibility." Yamaguchi believes that it is impossible to find his wife's companion.He must have deserted his wife at the same time as the fire, and fled alone.Chihiro betrayed her husband who had been married for more than 20 years for this man.Yamaguchi's heart was filled with anger. Since seducing someone else's wife, this man is at least obliged to try his best to rescue her as compensation.A man who only enjoys other people's wives and quickly escapes to a safe place alone at critical moments is not a man. The family members gathered in the coffin storage room. While confirming the body, they also learned that their spouse was unfaithful.But no one has yet had a spouse abandoned by his peers in a sea of ​​fire quite like Yamaguchi. The wife is to blame, but my wife still feels sorry for her.Her watch has become a sad relic, a silent voice of regret and apology to her husband. In the end, no new remains were found at the scene. Among the dead, the lovers other than Chihiro have been identified, only her companion is missing.Yamaguchi guessed right, the man who stole his wife abandoned her. Since the cause of death was difficult to disclose, only Chihiro's former friends were notified to hold a simple funeral. Yamaguchi still had a little luck in his heart, maybe his wife's companion would quietly come to offer a stick of incense, but he never came. After abandoning Chihiro, he would try to find out the date of the funeral if his conscience condemned him. Not only did he put Chihiro in danger, he didn't even feel a trace of guilt.He must have felt relieved to have run to safety alone because he was afraid that their affair would be exposed.The man did not come to the funeral, but an unexpected guest came to offer his condolences. "My sympathy for your wife's misfortune." After burning incense, the condolence guests greeted with a heavy voice.Yamaguchi still remembered him. "You're from the Victims Association...?" "My name is Guan Wu, and I'm not very good at comforting you." "I dare not take it upon you to come to express your condolences so solemnly." "I'm really sorry to interrupt you in your busy schedule. I want to talk to you for a while, can you give me some time?" Guan Wu seemed to be scruples about the surroundings. "Okay. I have time after going to the funeral home, so you can go too." Waiting for a loved one to be cremated is an extremely painful time for any family member. "If it's convenient, I can go with you." Guan Wu said. After the lonely funeral is the funeral.Since only family members and close friends attended, everyone went to the crematorium. The body was so badly mutilated that a final farewell could not be held at the crematorium, as is the case with ordinary causes of death.Relatives are waiting for the cremation in the reception room of the crematorium. Taking advantage of this time, Yamaguchi walked away from the crowd and closed the house to the corner of the house.Once again, Guan Yu expressed his condolences. "If I understand the sadness of my family at this time, maybe I shouldn't say it. But if I miss this opportunity, I can't say it. That's why I came here to visit you." Guan Wu is still very concerned about the people around him. "Please tell me." Yamaguchi was already mentally prepared. "I think you already know where your wife died. Did your wife have any companions when the fire broke out?" Guan Wu asked. "According to the hotel's registration, there are companions." "Can you confirm that there were companions when the fire broke out?" "The hotel can prove that there is." "So the identity of the companion has been confirmed?" "Not yet confirmed." "According to reports, the identified dead include 13 females, 11 males, 1 unknown, and 1 unknown gender who died in the hospital. The identities of all the deceased have been ascertained, and only the unknown His identity cannot be confirmed, and no body was found at the scene after the fire. It can be concluded that this person is your wife's companion." Guan Ya looked directly into Yamaguchi's eyes. "Really?" "Do you have any clues about your wife's companion?" Guan Ya's words hit Yamaguchi's psychological key. "No." Yamaguchi didn't answer truthfully. "Is your wife's companion involved with the oracle angel?" Guan Wu said frankly. "There is no proof yet." "We can look for evidence now, the people in the hotel should have seen her companion." "Even if they are related to oracle angels, I heard that they have millions of believers. Finding someone is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack." "Only look for believers who have often been in contact with your wife. If you let the hotel staff see the photos, they may remember." Guan Wu provided a new clue. "If it is found out that the person who has had an affair with my wife is really a member of the religious order, then my wife will not be able to come back from the dead." Yamaguchi said to himself again. "Actually..." Guan Wu's tone changed. "My wife was also taken away by members of the church." A few days ago, I heard from Guan Wu that his daughter had joined a religion, but her whereabouts are still unknown.Today is the first time I heard that his wife was also taken away. "Mr. Guan Wu's wife also..." "As soon as my wife joined the religion, Shenju Faquan took a fancy to her and became his goddess. Women who have a relationship with Faquan are called goddesses, and they are brought into his harem." "Is your wife still alive?" "It's fine if he dies. It's a shame for a husband if his wife is played with." "Did you join the Victims' Association in order to get your wife back?" "I can't forgive my wife and Faquan. I can't compete with them with my own strength. In order to avenge an arrow, I organized the Victims' Association and organized some people who were deprived of their relatives by the religious order and did not want to silently swallow their anger. Mr. my wife, let us all work together to take revenge together." Guan Wu encouraged. At this moment, the staff of the funeral home notified that the cremation was over.The wife's remains have been taken out of the incinerator, and on the cremation table are skeleton-shaped remains and ashes. The staff looked serious, and took out the Adam's apple, which was shaped like a small Guanyin, for the family to see. "Your wife has a lot of bones," said the staff member. The family members in groups of two picked out a piece of bone each with long chopsticks and put them in the ashes urn.The daughter and son picked up the remains of their mother with tears in their eyes. The number of family members and relatives and friends happened to be odd, and in the end only Yamaguchi was left alone.Together with Guan Yu, he finally picked up a piece of remains and put them in the urn. Both Yamaguchi and Sekiya are husbands who were deprived of their wives by the religious order, and their shared experience connects them. The staff put the remaining remains into the urn, and there are still many that cannot be put down.He showed a puzzled expression and said that he had almost never encountered such a thing. Don't you want the remains that you can't let go?Yamaguchi felt that the remains of the remaining wives spoke of her regrets. "Give me the rest of the remains," Yamaguchi said.The remaining remains were placed in another container. Ayabe Shigure was introduced by a marriage agency to marry Ryosuke Kagemori. She was 29 years old at the time and had experienced two love breakups.Shigure has lost confidence in love, and got married after meeting Kagemori at a party at a marriage agency.Although there is no fiery love, she has learned from past experience that fiery feelings will not last long. The fiery feeling that cannot be separated from every minute and every second is short-lived.Falling in love and getting married are two completely different things. When we are in love, every date makes our mutual feelings stronger. After we get married, we stay together every day. If we still maintain the fiery emotion like when we were in love, it will be unbearable for anyone. Shi Yu already understood this truth when she was in love, and when a man leaves her, she can face it calmly. After falling out of love twice, Shi Yu no longer has any illusions about marriage.But she still wants to get married. When I was young, I didn't have too many thoughts, but now I leave the sight of the men and return to the hut where I live alone, and I feel extremely lonely.Especially in winter it is even more lonely.It is said that because of the cold winter, so many people get married. Kagesen looks plain, nothing special. According to the profile of Ryosuke Kagemori registered at the marriage agency, he is 31 years old, a native of Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, graduated from a second-rate private university, and works in a medium-sized furniture manufacturing and sales company in Tokyo with an annual income of 4 million yen.Although I can't believe all the one-sided words of the dating agency, but according to his age, it should be a good income. At the party of the dating agency, Shi Yu met all kinds of men.The first man probably often participates in similar activities, like a butterfly flying among flowers. The first impression of the second man is not bad, but Shi Yu feels that he is not reliable.Sure enough, he never came again. The last man in front of Shigure is the clumsy Kagemori.Shi Yu knew that most women don't like this kind of men, but they are very loyal and honest.Attractive men are usually eloquent and elegant, but they are just good at disguising themselves.Their appearance and heart are not necessarily the same to attract women, or they are superficial. Those men who are fascinated by women often ignore their own psychological quality. Women in the world don't really understand a man's heart, but are easily confused by a man's appearance. Shigure has learned from two broken relationships, so she takes a liking to Kagemori, the clumsiest man at the party. Kagemori didn't expect that Shigure, who was being watched by men, would take the initiative to talk to him, he was very surprised.His honest appearance won Shi Yu's favor even more.The two got married within 3 months of dating. Indeed, as Shi Yu thought, Kagemori was clumsy with women.What surprised her even more was that it was the first time for 32-year-old Ying Mori and her. After the wedding in the chapel, Shigure started his married life. Ying Mori's parents have passed away, and he is an only child, so only a few relatives and friends from the company came to the wedding.Everyone praised him for his excellence and honesty.Although there was no romantic memory in the wedding speech, it also made Shi Yu very happy. Shi Yu's hometown is out of town, and only his parents, younger brother, and a few friends from the company attended their simple wedding.However, Shigure was very satisfied. Kagemori is older than Shigure, so Shigure has the power of newlywed life.Especially in married life, the experienced Shigu did not deliberately conceal his desire, and took the initiative to guide Yingsen, and Yingsen was very cooperative. Kagemori is indeed an excellent student. After the first sexual experience learned from Shigure, he quickly became proficient, sometimes surpassing his teacher Shigure. (Not stupid at all) Shi Yu said in his heart.With Kagemori, Shigu re-examines his previous love experience. When I first met Kagemori, my intuition was wrong. In the past, every time I fell in love, it was because I judged a man by his appearance. The new apartment along the private railway line is just right for newlyweds.The surrounding environment is clean, and it is very close to the station. It is suitable for young couples who both work.As Kagemori introduced at the beginning, his monthly salary is handed over to Shigure, and Shigure is very satisfied with this. After marriage, Shi Yu noticed that there was no news of her husband's relatives or friends, because they were newlyweds.Didn't bother them either. The first person to visit her in her new home was Asako Takahashi, a colleague from Shiyu's company.Both Shigu and Asako work in the reception department of a big TV station. On that day, Kagemori was on a business trip due to business.Mazi sized up the new house with scrutiny and interest. "Your family is as happy as in the painting." After observing, Mazi said enviously.She is still single. "Yeah, I also feel very happy. But I'm still a little uncomfortable." Shi Yu said. "Not suitable?" "Yes, I was a complete stranger 3 months ago, but now I am my husband, and I will live together as a life partner in the future. I can't believe it. Sometimes I suddenly think, is this person really my husband? " said Shi Yu. Falling in love is the prelude to marriage. They have almost never experienced falling in love and entered into married life directly, without any mental preparation for married life. Just like the sudden landing of a supersonic plane gives people the feeling of jet lag, they are still temporarily unsuited to the world of two. When couples are physically united, factors such as temperament will also affect each other, which will produce a sense of rejection and discomfort. Of course, they will also experience a sense of freshness that they did not have when they were in love. "Speaking of paintings, I think your husband's speech at the wedding ceremony is a bit strange. It seems to be read from a book, and it is very smooth." Mazi said. "Really." When Mazi said this, Shi Yu suddenly covered himself.She only remembered the guest's fluent speech, but could not recall any speech content. "I've listened carefully. All the guests on your husband's side praised him without any details. After listening to it, I think your husband is very good, but he doesn't look like a real person. For example, how was it when he was a child? University How did I pass the times, what kind of work I do now, I didn’t introduce a single word.” Mazi's words made Shi Yu's heart tremble, and the feeling of confusion hidden in his heart was revealed by Mazi, and the fact was the same. The guest at Yingsen didn't introduce a word about Yingsen's life experience, except for the resume of the marriage agency, she knew almost nothing about Yingsen. Husband and wife are two strangers who spend their lives together, and it is not uncommon to not understand previous experiences. After a couple gets married, they will gradually get to know each other better while living under the same roof.Compared with the experience before marriage, of course everything after marriage is more important.Thinking about it this way, Shi Yu didn't care much about those things, but ignorance of her husband's past left a knot in Shi Yu's heart. Kagemori didn't say anything, and Shigure didn't ask.It seemed that Kagemori didn't want Shigure to know him, and Shigure didn't want to explore it any further. Asako's unconscious words were frank, and at the same time seemed to accuse Shigure of his insensitive attitude.Since human beings live in society, they must have interpersonal relationships that belong to them.But from the surroundings of Yingsen, I can't feel these at all. Just like how Mazi felt in Xuanke's wedding speech according to the book, the few relatives and friends on the husband's side at the wedding ceremony looked very fake. After the marriage, there was no sign of his colleagues, no phone calls, no letters.If you can't come to visit the new home in person, at least you have to congratulate by phone, postcard, etc., and there is not even a company's business phone number. Shi Yu gradually became suspicious, did Kagemori not have any human relationship?But she couldn't question her husband about this suspicion, because Kagemori seemed to be avoiding his wife. If the days of living together are very short, don't rush to reveal your secrets and mistrust, so as to ensure the success of your married life.Telling everything about yourself is sometimes imposing your own psychological burden on the other party. It is not yet the time, and there is still a long way to go.After a long time, even if they are silent, the husband and wife will have a tacit understanding.Shi Yu comforted himself like this. At this time, something happened that could not keep her silent. Shi Yu is still working in the TV station after marriage, and Kagemori also hopes to do so.One day when I was out on errands, I happened to pass by the church where they held their wedding.Although they hadn't been married for a long time, Shi Yu felt as if it happened a long time ago, so she decided to stop by the church to see. The church is in a commercial street next to a private subway station, making it hard to imagine a church in such a place.There is also a hall attached to the church, where a wedding banquet can be held after the wedding ceremony. The pastor who presided over the wedding ceremony was handsome and did not seem like a pastor. He was very popular because of his experience and honesty.The food in the guild hall is exquisite, and the evaluation of the guests is very high. It seems that a couple is holding a wedding ceremony. On the lawn in front of the church, relatives and friends are taking commemorative photos around the bride and groom.Probably a small wedding, not many people attended.Shi Yu remembered his own wedding before, and stared blankly at them. Suddenly, a person who was taking a commemorative photo caught Shigure's attention, and that person looked familiar.He was the one who came to their wedding as Kagemori's relative. What a fortuitous encounter that Kagemori's relatives actually appeared next to the bride and groom who were getting married.Shi Yu's surprise didn't stop there.The second person, the third person, the fourth person, Yingsen's guests all gathered in front of the camera.Shi Yu is confused, is this a coincidence?Observe carefully, there are 6 guests in Yingsen.It was the group of people that Asako Takahashi had described as if they were reciting a wedding speech. This is no accident.If it is not a special arrangement, it is absolutely impossible for the same 6 people to appear in two unrelated weddings.If it was really a close friend's wedding, Yingsen should also appear here. Shi Yu still remembered them clearly, but they didn't respond to Shi Yu who was looking at them.Did you forget Shigure or did you not see it at all? Shi Yu recalled Takahashi Asako's words again—"The wedding congratulations are all clichés, without a word introducing the groom's background, as if the groom doesn't eat fireworks." If the congratulatory speeches of the guests are pre-prepared clichés, aren't the guests also pre-arranged? Shi Yu wanted to listen to their speech after the wedding, but he was not invited, so he could not attend a stranger's wedding banquet. Shi Yu has a plan.Like their wedding banquet, this time it is also in the form of a fee-based buffet. Anyone can participate as long as they pay.It was the first time for the relatives and friends of the two families to meet each other. When Shi Yu attended the wedding banquet, he would only treat her as the other party's guest. After a while, the commemorative photoshoot was over, and it was time for the wedding banquet.Shi Yu paid the money at the reception desk at the front desk, and the receptionist didn't have any doubts.Many of the guests only wore casual clothes, so Shi Yu looked decent in his outwear. The master of ceremonies announced the start of the wedding banquet. Like Kagemori and Shigure, they did not have an introducer.First, the guest of honor of both sides delivered speeches, and then he claimed to be the groom's mentor in college and began to congratulate him. This person is one of Yingsen's guests. The mentor first praised the groom for his outstanding academic performance, and then said that marriage is not like mathematics, one plus one equals two, the husband and wife work together, one plus one may equal four or six, and the combination of the two will create a great future. future.These contents are exactly the same as Shi Yu's wedding speech. After the cake was cut, the bride changed her outfit. This time it was the turn of the friends to give congratulatory speeches. The three people who participated in the wedding banquet of Ji Yu came on stage one after another, and the content was exactly the same as that of Shi Yu and the others. Halfway through the wedding banquet, Shi Yu excused himself to go to the bathroom and left.She took a brochure from the hall reception.As soon as she got back to the company, she immediately pretended to be a customer and called the guild hall for consultation. Their wedding was arranged by Kagemori alone. It was Shi Yu's first visit to the church and he didn't know anything about the wedding procedure. "I want to hold a wedding in a church, but because my hometown is out of town, I don't have many relatives and friends. Although I only want to hold a wedding for only two people, my fiancé is from Tokyo, so the relatives and friends of the two families will be very incompatible. .Can you arrange it for me?" Shi Yu asked. "Marriage is a major event in life, and everything is indispensable. The hall will undertake the wedding ceremony and wedding banquet according to your requirements. If you need it, our staff will attend as your relatives and friends. We have a rich content The wedding congratulations will definitely meet your various needs." The banquet staff said skillfully. "Can I also deliver a congratulatory message?" "Everything can be according to your request. All the content of the congratulatory message will make you feel that it is from the heart." "In this way, even if I don't have relatives and friends to attend the wedding, I don't feel like I'm left alone." "It is true. Our company believes that in addition to relatives and friends, there should be many strangers who come to bless the wedding ceremony. Therefore, we have prepared a sincere letter issued by our company staff for those brides and grooms who have no relatives and friends. Congratulations." The receptionist seemed to be reciting congratulations. It turns out that Yingsen's guests are employees of the wedding company.There is nothing wrong with doing this, but the key point is why you want to hide it from her and let a stranger pretend to be a guest to deliver a congratulatory speech. Shi Yu feels cheated. If there are no relatives or friends who can tell Shiyu directly, there is no need to deliberately arrange it.Shi Yu himself did not invite many relatives and friends.But the number of guests on both sides does not affect the marriage. She is marrying Yingsen, not a guest. This incident somewhat hit Shi Yu.But a bigger blow is yet to come. The matter of pretending to be a guest made Shi Yu feel a little uneasy, and she remembered that she had never called her husband's company, and she had never had anything to contact, but she seemed to feel that her husband's company was very mysterious. Shi Yu decided to call her husband's company immediately. "This is Tokyo INHOUSE." INHOUSE is the name of her husband's company. "I am Ying Mori's wife from the first sales department. Thank you for taking care of my husband. Please find my husband." Shi Yu said tremblingly. "Is it Kagemori? There is no employee named Kagemori in this company." The answer from the woman on the phone was surprising. "Impossible. My husband goes to work every day. He also went to the company today, are you right?" Shi Yu asked again in surprise.She thought maybe the woman who answered the phone was a new employee and didn't know all the names of the employees yet. "That's right. There really isn't a staff named Kagemori." The other party answered firmly. "Have you been transferred to another department?" "No, the company has no record of Yingsen at all." The other party replied. "Does your company have no branches or branches? He often travels to Osaka and Hakata on business, is there no such person there?" The other party said in a non-discussing tone. “叫东京INHOUSE的公司仅此一家吗？”时雨还是抱有一线希望继续追问。 “没有和本公司重名的公司。”对方渐渐不耐烦了。 时雨绝望地挂断了电话。 不仅是婚礼上的来宾，甚至连影森的公司都是虚构的。那么他每个月交给时雨的工资又是从哪儿得到的？时雨又开始了新的怀疑。如果有固定收入，就没有必要隐瞒收入的来源。时雨的大脑一片混乱。 影森一定有不可告人的秘密。他是隐瞒这些秘密与时雨结婚的。如果结婚前这些秘密暴露，她就会取消婚礼，这个秘密一定很重大。 但是目前的事实是他们已经结婚了，无论影森有什么秘密，时雨都没想过离婚。时雨已经爱上了影森，甚至可以说，正是怕失去丈夫她才千方百计地调查丈夫的秘密。 自己以后的人生里不能没有影森。没有保守秘密就可以继续和他生活，那么时雨就再也不想追查下去了。时雨认为夫妻间即使有秘密还是不说破为好。 时雨又感到另一个恐惧的事情。影森的工作是虚构的，却按月交给她固定的收入。如果收入的来源是不可告人的，他才虚构自己的公司，那么丈夫的收入来源难道是非法的吗？ 影森用难以对妻子启齿的手段才得到这份收入，如果真是这样的话，时雨更加感到不安。 影森还没察觉妻子已经知道他虚构工作的事，依旧每天按时上下班。假日里夫妻两人在外边吃饭或是看电影。偶尔说是加班回家晚一些，时雨猜测着丈夫在那家虚构的公司里做什么样的工作。 大约结婚半年后，也就是时雨得知丈夫虚构工作的一个月后，丈夫突然说要辞职。 “大学的前辈邀请我一起开一家商业顾问事务所。以前都是听别人的使唤，现在我有更多属于自己的时间了，想下决心试试自己的能力。”影森说。 难道是丈夫已经发现自己向公司调查他了吗？似乎不像，这次的辞职大概是想在妻子发现他虚构工作之前的预防措施吧。 “商业顾问事务所具体是做什么工作呢？”时雨若无其事地问。 “具体地说就是用我以前的工作经验做营销。如果定下来了，我再告诉你。”影森含糊其词地说。 虚构公司也好自由职业也好，只要不是非法什么工作都可以。但是时雨却有一种不祥的预感。 “我也在工作，我们现在的收入已经足够了。如果你自己单干会很辛苦，不要勉强地辞职。”时雨委婉地劝说。 “男人应该有上进心，不能光靠工资。最重要的是现在的公司需要我，我有远大的前途，我也喜欢挑战新的环境。”影森说。 “既然你已经决定了就按你的想法去干吧，但不能为了我而勉强自己。”时雨婉转地说。 “你放心吧，要相信我。我一定要让你将来住在大房子里，悠闲地生活。” “现在这样我就很满足了，我没想过那种安逸的生活。” “男人都愿意让家人过上富裕的日子。” “现在我们已经很富裕了。” “我还想让你过得比现在更好。” 这个时候时雨才意识到影森所做的一切，不仅是为了收入，而是为了得到时雨，为了留住她。
