Chapter 17 arrest

Yuki called the lawyer's home with the public phone in the prosecutor's office.The lawyer's name was Lin Xiufu, whom he had known a long time ago. "This is Yuki, sir, please answer the phone." The document immediately called lawyer Lin. "It's been a long time. It's early enough!" Lawyer Lin sent his morning greetings relaxedly. "Actually, I'm in the prosecutor's office right now." "Prosecutor's Office?" The lawyer made a surprised voice, "What happened?" "I want to talk about the specific situation after seeing you. Anyway, I was caught off guard when I was lying in bed this morning, and then I came here. I want to entrust the case to you immediately."

"Understood. Has a warrant been issued, then?" asked the lawyer, as if he had sensed the nature of the case. "No, we haven't reached the point of issuing an arrest warrant. Right now, it's in the form of a subpoena. However, I don't know when it will be replaced by an arrest warrant." "The formal interrogation hasn't taken place yet, has it?" "Not yet. Before the arrest warrant is issued, I would like to discuss it with the sir?" "Understood. Well, I'll come to you right away. But who is the prosecutor in charge of this case?"

"A young prosecutor named Yoshio Yamamoto." "Oh, it's Mr. Yamamoto!" The lawyer seemed to know his name and person, "Okay, I'll go to your place right away." After hanging up the phone, Yuki returned to the original room.An clerk was waiting for him there.This officer was also one of the people who brought Yuki to the prosecutor's office. "Ah, sorry for the long wait." The clerk said, "It is said that Prosecutor Yamamoto wants to talk to you now, please go to the prosecutor's room immediately." Yuki looked at his watch.It was almost ten o'clock.It was less than eight o'clock when I arrived here with the prosecutor in the morning.That is to say, keep yourself waiting for two hours.

"Okay, I will accompany you." Yuuki said.He can neither show weakness nor flinch.He followed behind the secretary with nonchalant steps.Go through the hallway and into a room on the right. As soon as the door was opened, the hot air rushed to Yuki's face.There was a fire in the house.There are only tables for two in the cramped room.Two tables were placed in the middle of the room at right angles. Prosecutor Yamamoto, who brought Yuuki this morning, was sitting at the table smoking a cigarette. "Ah! Excuse me." Prosecutor Yamamoto stood up from his chair and smiled at Yuki. "Is it cold? I kept you waiting. Please, please sit here."

The prosecutor pointed to the chair in front of him, which happened to be opposite to each other.Yuuki took out a cigarette from his pocket.The prosecutor quickly picked up the lighter at hand and lit it. "thanks." Yuki borrowed the prosecutor's fire. An clerk came in to take the record for the upcoming interrogation.He silently sat down at another table with a cold look on his face and rubbed his hands. "I'm sorry to trouble you so early in the morning. Uh-Mr. Yuki," the prosecutor took out the document and opened it, "Your place of origin is XX Residential Area, XX City, XX County, right?"

"yes." "Date of birth, school you graduated from, etc., your resume is as follows?" The prosecutor read the document down. "That's right." Yuki said after listening carefully. "Please do whatever you want." The prosecutor raised his head from the document and said to Yuuki.The expression is relaxed and natural, as if about to start a chat. "Please come here for nothing else. Mr. Yuki, do you know Kotaro Doi?" "Yes, he is my friend." "It is said to be so." The prosecutor echoed quietly, "Actually, Mr. Doi was invited here four or five days ago, Mr. Yuki, do you understand the following matter? Mr. Doi He has a very close relationship with the upper-level leaders of the XX Enterprise Federation, and he has negotiated with Province R as an intermediary on the distribution of raw materials imported by the enterprise."

"Ok." Yuuki let out a puff of smoke.The clerk began to take notes. "Does this question have to be answered?" "I hope you can answer. As a matter of fact, Mr. Doi himself has made a statement about your situation. Although it will make you embarrassed, we must ask you again whether these facts are true. However, I want to say in advance Ming," Prosecutor Yamamoto said as if casually chatting, "if you don't want to answer this, that's okay, because after all, no arrest warrant has been issued. As we are speaking, we don't want to force you to make unfavorable actions. Confess yourself. How about it, please think about the situation in that area carefully, and I hope you can answer."

"Understood." "So, how? Do you have any clues about what I just said?" "That's right. Actually, although I know Doi very well, I don't know much about that matter." "Haha, as expected." The prosecutor nodded, "Then, do you know Gu Chuan Heiroku?" Prosecutors immediately came up with another name. "Oh, this is the person in charge of an enterprise group. I've heard of the name. However, I have no contact with him, so I don't know." "However, according to Mr. Doi, you met Mr. Furukawa at a dinner party. It is said that Mr. Doi introduced you to Mr. Furukawa, didn't you?"

Yuki deliberately looked confused and said, "Oh, I can't remember." Another clerk came in, walked up to Prosecutor Yamamoto, and whispered something to him.The prosecutor kept nodding. "Mr. Yucheng, I heard that Mr. Lin Xiufu is here." The prosecutor conveyed. "Really?" Yuuki couldn't help showing a relaxed expression.The prosecutor gave him a keen look in the face. "Is Mr. Lin your lawyer?" "Yes. If I am arrested, I will entrust all relevant affairs to Mr. Lin until the trial is held." "I see." The prosecutor took a sip of tea with both hands in his hands, "Then, let's take a break. Mr. Lawyer is rarely here, so why don't you go and see him?"

"Thank you." Yuki bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.He stepped out of the room.At the same time, he felt that the prosecutor was watching him from behind. Lawyer Lin is in the reception room.He was fat and had a ruddy complexion.As soon as he saw Yuuki, he immediately stood up from his chair. Yuuki and the lawyer came to the dark corridor side by side.At a corner of the corridor, the lawyer and Yuuki stopped. "What happened?" The light coming in from the window made the lawyer's glasses sparkle. "While I was sleeping this morning, they broke in suddenly, around seven o'clock. Although I expected this day in advance, I still felt caught off guard by them." Yuki said.

Even if the lawyer doesn't ask about the content of the case, he knows it well. "What about the search?" "It has been carried out. Actually," Yuki said with a bit of embarrassment, "I guess my house must have been searched by them." "Oh, you're not in your own house!" "There was a woman in my care and it was in her that I was attacked." "Oh!" said the lawyer, "Madam, have you contacted me yet?" "I haven't called yet." The lawyer nodded and said, "I'll take care of that. Also, the arrest warrant hasn't been issued yet, right?" "No. However, judging from the investigation just now, maybe it will be released today!" "Where's the prosecutor?" "The name is Yoshio Yamamoto." "Ah, by the way, it's that young man, right?" The lawyer nodded repeatedly as if he had figured it out a long time ago, "The director of this case is Prosecutor Ishii, the head of the special investigation department. There is one veteran and three novices under him. This means that one of the three novices, Prosecutor Yamamoto, is in charge of your side." When the lawyer mentioned the three novice prosecutors, Yuki's eyes suddenly lit up. "Those three newcomers, there must be a prosecutor named Onogi." "Well, there is one. How?" The lawyer looked at Yuki. "Ok." Yuuki remained silent and stepped on the spot silently for a while.He had always had the delicate, serious face that prostitutes love, and now he looked even more serious. "Mr. Lin." Yuki suddenly stood in front of the lawyer with a stern expression, as if he was about to say something important. "Can you investigate Prosecutor Onogi for me?" "What do you mean?" The lawyer remained calm, with a businesslike face at all times. "It's kind of hard to say." "Oh, what's the matter?" "It's embarrassing to say it." Yuuki lowered his head slightly.He only uttered such a sentence, and the lawyer's expression changed.On the ruddy face was a pair of lovely elephant-like eyes, which suddenly became sharp. "Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, in fact..." Yuki whispered in the lawyer's ear for a while.The lawyer's face was tense, and his childlike face showed a look of shock. "This matter..." The lawyer only said two words, his eyes fixed on Yucheng, and he couldn't continue, "Mr. Yucheng, is this serious?" "It's just as I said. When I went to S Hot Spring, I took a picture of the man's handwriting." The lawyer's face even turned pale. "It's so important!" cried the lawyer. "Have you mentioned this to your wife?" "No." Yuki replied weakly.The lawyer seemed to want to criticize him a few words, but changed his mind and remained silent. "I completely understand your feelings. Well, let me investigate!" "I hope you will keep it a secret for me." Facing the excited lawyer, Yuki asked him to calm down and said, "Maybe I will be formally arrested, so I will tell you where those photos are stored first." Yuki took out a notepad, wrote it with a pen, and handed it to the lawyer.The lawyer pushed up the frame of his glasses and looked at the address written by Yuuki. "That's right." The lawyer carefully put it in his pocket, "Of course the investigation must be conducted without anyone noticing it. That's it, let the people in my office monitor Onogi in the future. No, you don't have to worry. Those who do such things are all experts." The conversation is over.A figure walked in the corridor. "Have we finished talking?" Looking back, it turned out to be the secretary in the prosecutor's room.He added: "Prosecutor Yamamoto invites you to go." The meeting has been open since 3:00 pm until now. From chief prosecutor Ishii down, the whole team was present.In the middle of the meeting, Prosecutor Yamamoto reported the review process of Yuki.The topic of the meeting was, in this situation, whether to issue an arrest warrant for Yuuki. Prosecutor Yamamoto's opinion is that Yuuki is involved in a lot of circumstances. In this case, it is better to arrest.Prosecutor Yamamoto believes that if Yuki is released, there will be worries about destroying evidence.In this case, he was a man who had played an important role, and it was not advisable to return him, but to be imprisoned as such. Onogi lowered his head and listened to Prosecutor Yamamoto's speech. He has been shaken since this morning, and this mentality has continued until now.This is a state of confusion transformed from the initial shock. Regarding the reasons stated by his colleague Prosecutor Yamamoto, he has lost the ability to think, thinking, and his whole body and mind. He has long been numb, as if he has lost his center of gravity. During the period, Chief Prosecutor Ishii even reminded him: "Prosecutor Onogi, your complexion is very bad." He had no choice but to say, "I have a cold." He covered it up on the spot.In fact, my head really seems to have a fever.Although the body is very hot, the skin is sweating coldly. "Prosecutor Onogi." Chief Prosecutor Ishii called him.Only then did he notice that Prosecutor Yamamoto's opinion had been expressed. "What's your opinion? Are you in favor of issuing an arrest warrant for Yuki?" Chief prosecutor Ishii meant that because Onogi was interrogating Doi Kotaro, and Yuki and Doi were inseparable, he asked him about Yuki. handling opinions. Onogi raised his head, as if he had been thinking about it, and immediately expressed his opinion.In fact, he was not prepared at all.He said: "I think it is too early to arrest Yuki. It is better to carry out after investigating some circumstantial evidence." Prosecutor Yamamoto stared fiercely at Onogi's face.Yamamoto's expression shows that he seems to be about to speak, pointing out that what Onogi said is really incomprehensible. "Circumstantial evidence? I think it is sufficient." Chief Prosecutor Ishii said, "In my opinion, even at this stage, he can be prosecuted. Moreover, what does the so-called wanting to find out circumstantial evidence specifically refer to? " Onogi himself could not explain why.He just wanted to oppose the immediate arrest of Yuuki. "I think it's better to maintain the status quo with Yuuki. This is because, from Doi's mouth, the facts about bribery and bribery are still being confessed. Therefore, I think there may be an update involving Yuuki situation. I don’t think it would be too late to arrest him even after that.” "Can Doi be so straightforward?" "Although very hesitant, self-supplied content is gradually increasing." "Ok." Chief prosecutor Ishii showed a pensive expression. "Prosecutor Onogi shared his opinion, but," Prosecutor Yamamoto retorted, "I think it is dangerous to let Yuuki go like this. He will form an offensive and defensive alliance with the person who will be arrested in the future and destroy the evidence. Prosecutor Onogi said that Doi's side is making a new confession, so even if Yuuki is arrested, the result will be the same. What's more, he may still be in danger of escaping." "Prosecutor Yamamoto said that Yuuki was in danger of fleeing. I disagree with this view." Onogi said.However, there was nothing particularly solid about his statement either. "I don't think there is such a possibility for Yuuki." When Onogi spoke, he didn't look at Prosecutor Yamamoto's expression.Both Chief Prosecutor Ishii and the veteran prosecutor listened silently.One of the veteran prosecutors expressed his opinion: "In order to start investigating the problems of provincial R officials, I'm afraid it's better to keep him at this moment!" "Okay!" Chief Prosecutor Ishii made a decision and said, "Prosecutor Yamamoto, you come to apply for Yuki's arrest warrant." "Understood." Prosecutor Yamamoto replied loudly excitedly.In Onogi's ears, the sound was like an echo in a big hollow. Onoki dialed the dial according to Lai Zi's phone number.It was like hanging up a phone call to a new acquaintance.It was a maid who answered the phone. "Is the wife there?" The maid answered "Yes". "Please, please ask your wife to answer the phone." "Which one are you?" "I'm sorry, my wife will know when she answers the phone." "yes." The maid's voice seemed surprised.However, he stepped back and asked Lai Zi to answer the phone. In the middle, it took a long time.While waiting to answer the phone, the scene of Lai Zi's home appeared in front of Onogi.It was her home she had seen for the first time this morning.The corridor, the living room, Yuuki's room, the furniture displayed there; the cold air in the morning; the atmosphere in Laizi's house... Onogi saw Lai Zi crossing the corridor to answer the phone. There was the sound of picking up the receiver. "I'm Yuuki." It was Lai Zi's voice. "I'm Onogi." Lai Zi didn't answer, and kept silent all the time. "Excuse me this morning." Still no answer. "It has been decided to arrest your husband." "I know. I just received a call from a lawyer." Lai Zi's voice was small, but unexpectedly calm. "So," Onogi took a deep breath, "I want to see you. I know you are nervous, can I see you?" Another long silence. "understood." Lai Zi replied in a hoarse voice.However, what she said next was beyond Onogi's expectation. "I've been waiting for your call. I was thinking of seeing you anyway. I'll be leaving right away. Please specify the time and place!" Onogi ran for a while by taxi and got off in front of the S station. It was evening, and there was a chaotic scene at the station.Onogi looked up and found Lai Zi standing in front of a small shop.Among the crowded crowd, her figure appeared lonely and lonely.She stood there apprehensively avoiding people's eyes. When Onogi approached, she immediately raised her head with an indescribable expression, and her whole body gave Onogi a feeling that she had never felt before.Neither of them said a word, they walked into the station silently and aimlessly.This, too, was an involuntary action that resulted in avoiding the main entrance where the car was parked. Inside the narrow station, there was chaos.As the flow of people walked, I realized that I was approaching the ticket gate. The two did not have a clear goal of action. The crowd passed the shoulders of Onogi and Laizi who were walking slowly, and went to the front. "Where are you going?" Onogi said first. "Anywhere." Lai Zi replied in a low voice. Onogi couldn't think of a place to go.With difficulty, the two of them slipped aside from the flow of people rushing towards the ticket gates. "Want to see the sea?" Onogi asked. "Yeah." Lai Zi lowered his head slightly, and said after a while, "I want to go to that monastery that I visited with you before." It was already dark, and the station and the platform were all lit up with dazzling lights.Onogi considered the time to arrive at Jindaiji. "It's okay to be late." The two turned back to the main entrance. Sitting in a taxi, he told the driver his destination.When the driver heard it, he was a little surprised and asked back: "Is it Shenda Temple?" The taxi drove up the streets of Koshu and started to run.The colorful lights flowed backwards, and the quiet and tidy houses continued for a while. Onogi held Lai Zi's hand.Her hands are cold.At this moment, Lai Zi let out a long breath.She took off the scarf and gently covered it.The hands of the two never separated again. The moon is already in the sky.This was only discovered after paddy fields appeared outside the car window.There were fewer street lights, and the night sky looked clearer.In the distance is a dark forest, and the lower part is filled with white mist. "Sir," the driver turned around and asked, "Is there any event at Jindaiji Temple?" "No, I'm afraid there's not much going on. What's the matter?" "Nothing." The driver held the steering wheel and was silent for a while. Taxis keep passing by the long queue of Mercedes-Benz cars.There are also headlights coming from behind, illuminating the interior of the car. "It's nothing." The driver said again, "I thought there was another annual temple fair selling toy tumblers! It's just this season." "It's a holiday." "Yes. I was born in downtown Tokyo, and I was taken by my mother when I was a child, and I went to a tumbler fair at Jindaiji Temple once! I still remember it. It was very cold at the time, so I thought it was just like this time Woolen cloth." The driver's words eased the mood of the two of them. Lai Zi remained silent.Eyelids drooped, not even looking out.Onogi fully understands her mood, so he deliberately doesn't talk to her. From time to time, rows of houses appear on the streets on both sides.Here is still a desolate village with farm houses.In the distance of the field, occasionally the lights of the apartments flickered. There were forests in some places, and slopes covered with bushes in others, and all was pitch black. After a while, the road forked in the middle.From here onwards, the population becomes sparsely populated. The woods suddenly appeared nearby.There is a farmer's house, and a waterwheel can be seen parked there.The headlights of the car swept the road and dead grass white as the car moved forward.A rural kid, dodging cars and standing on the side of the road. The taxi made several turns.Every turn the forest grows denser and more shady.Starlight blinked brightly. Through the gaps in the trees, a beam of bright light came through.Only when the car got close did I realize that it was the light from the outside of the monastery. "Sir, here we are." The driver stopped the car.The only lighting outside the temple illuminates the old roof and stone steps of the mountain gate.There is no one here, and inside the square temple, it is dark, as if it wants to swallow people. "Please wait here for a while!" After getting out of the car, Onogi said to the driver. "About how long?" the driver asked back. "Forty minutes or so. You will also be paid during this time." "Ok." The driver looked at his watch against the light. The lights in the teahouse went out.Through the crack of the closed front door, a ray of light from inside the house was revealed. "I'll wait for you right here." The driver got into his car, looking like he was going to sleep. Onogi walked up the stone steps.Lai Zi followed closely.She remained silent. Passing through the mountain gate and entering the temple, there was no one there either.There was only one lighting lamp in the temple, which shone bleakly on the empty benches. It was dark inside the temple.The lighting is bright and dazzling.The bare tops of nearby trees were reflected in bright light. The main hall and Bententen, one of the seven gods of good fortune, who are enshrined next to it, are dim and blurry because they are far away from the light. Both Onogi and Laizi remained silent.The thoughts that fill my heart cannot be immediately transformed into words. The two walked towards the direction of the sound of water.Suddenly the bell sounded into the eardrums.It's just a surprise, at first I thought it was somewhere in the temple, and the tone of his voice was extraordinary.It is clear and sweet, echoing in my ears for a long time. There appears to be a church nearby.It is impossible to tell from this side because of the forest barrier.The bell seemed to come through the dark woods. "Where are you going?" Onoki asked. The two did not walk together.There are dense trees growing in the temple, and Onogi looks to the other side.In the darkness, the watery moonlight lightly sprinkled down from the sky.The moon has climbed to an unexpected position. "Here." Lai Zi said. It was a place she had been to once before, and in that forest she accepted Onoki's kiss for the first time.Onogi understood how she felt about inviting him there. It was dark under the forest.After leaving the Jindaiji Temple, the road surface was very wet, because the gushing groundwater continuously soaked the road surface. There is gurgling water everywhere.The two walked past a closed small tea shop with reed curtains.In this place, the murmur of groundwater gushes from beneath the heels.The forest is very dark, and the moon shadows are mottled on the path. Lai Zi was a little ahead of Onogi, and the shadow of the tree reflected on her back was constantly changing. It was the crescent moon in the sky, and it looked extraordinarily bright in places without lights.The fallen leaves that have been overwintering on the ground are also shiny. The lights of cars speeding on the road in the distance flickered among the trees, as if they were approaching here.Lai Zi looked at the light and said, "In such a quiet place, cars still run." Onogi was also watching the direction of the light.The light disappeared in the shadows of nearby houses. "Forgive me," Lai Zi said.The voice was very small, and it was the first time he spoke to Onogi. "It seems that I have deceived you." Onogi approached Laizi and said, "It's nothing. I don't think I was deceived by you." "Looking at the results, that's what happened." Lai Zi insisted, "I have neither told you about the past, nor brought up family issues. This kind of result is completely a punishment for me. ah." "Laizi!" Onogi's voice was very excited, "I completely understand your feelings. You said before: Please only trust me, don't ask about other things; please only trust me as a woman. These words, I now I also fully understand. I remember when I heard you finish these words, my answer was: I understand." Onogi searched for Laiko's fingers.Her hand was even cooler than it had been in the car. "Now my attitude has not changed. I only believe in you. Only the way I met your husband this time is unfortunate. No, I am more worried about whether it will make you more unhappy because of this incident. .” Lai Zi didn't answer.Silently broke off Onogi's fingers and walked away from him. Her feet rustled on the leaves.The pale moonlight intertwined with the black shadows of the branches, making her figure gradually blurred, as if a wisp of white smoke was slowly drifting. Lai Zi stopped and squatted down on the spot.Only her white shadow was dimly visible. In the distance there was the rumble of a tram crossing an iron bridge.Lai Zi maintained that posture, motionless, as if listening to the sound of the tram. Onogi walked up to see clearly that she was crying. Onogi put his hand on Laiko's shoulder.As if being drenched by the dew dripping from the branches, her shoulders were icy cold.Neither her hair nor her ears were warm. Onogi took her hand.She stood up obediently, and immediately fell to Onogi's chest.The sobbing that had been suppressed for a long time finally escaped from his lips. Onogi hugged her back and held her tightly in his arms.He raised Lai Zi's face with his hands.The faint moonlight made her face look as white as porcelain.Her lips were still twitching. Onoki kissed her twitching lips hard.It went on like this for a long time.All around was deathly silence. There seemed to be a sound of stepping on fallen leaves in the distance.However, this may be due to nervousness.Then there was only the trickle of groundwater rising up. Onogi moved his face away, but Laizi's rapid breathing was still stuck under his nose. "Laizi," Onogi said, "I don't know what to think about now. I haven't figured out what to do. But there is only one thing I can tell you. I won't let you go, no matter what. I will not let you go under any circumstances. You seem to want to leave me just now. If you let go, you may fall into a desperate situation." The hot air that Onogi exhaled when he spoke directly hit Lai Zi's lips right under his nose.Lai Zi closed her eyes, slightly parted her lips, and curled her beautiful eyelashes.The moonlight reflected her half-closed and half-exposed white teeth. Lai Zi was still panting.The wings of the nose fluttered, and the breathing was rapid. "I'm so happy." She choked up and said, "Are you telling the truth?" "It's true." "Don't leave me..." she gasped, "don't let go, don't let me go!... If you leave me, I'm hopeless!" "I will not leave you. No matter what happens, no matter who condemns me, I will not leave you, and I will stay with you forever." "Forgive me, I'm a bad woman!" "No, it's not that you're bad. You shouldn't think so. As you said before, you're out of your place now. You just have to keep your eyes on me." Lai Zi took the initiative to raise her beautiful jaw again.The snow-white neck reflects the moonlight. Her cold lips made Onogi's whole body burn. The two then continued walking forward. Walking out of the forest, the vast sky immediately appeared in front of my eyes. Here is a very gentle slope, like a place opened up later; further forward, you can see a part of the white wilderness. I still have an impression of this slope road in my memory.Although it was hard to make out in the dim light, there should be tree roots hanging out like a curtain on the slope.The scene from the last time resurfaced in their minds. They climbed up this artificially excavated ramp and passed a long road. They once walked to the Mitaka Observatory. Lai Zi was close to Onogi's elbow.The shadow of the cliff obscured each other's faces.After walking onto the grassland, the figures of the two were clearly reflected in the moonlight.Looking from a distance, the white mist filled the air, and the stars in the sky appeared and disappeared. "I am very aware of the pain in your heart." Onogi said as he walked, "So, I want to tell you that an arrest warrant has been issued for Mr. Yuki. I think it is only a matter of time before the prosecution." Lai Zi's moving legs suddenly stopped at this moment. "I'm not going to tell you more, and you probably can't bear to listen any longer. However, this makes me even hate myself as a prosecutor." Onogi traversed the field and took another downhill path. "I really can't bear to see Mr. Yuki in the prosecutor's office. It may be lucky that Mr. Yuki is in charge of my friend. Therefore, I finally feel some relief now." "Please don't talk about it." Lai Zi interrupted Onogi's words sadly, "I am also full of worries now. I have wanted to divorce Yuki many times before, and I said this to Yuki every time, but Yuki I ignored it every time." Then she whispered again: "Not long ago, Yuki seemed to be aware of my situation." "I've heard you say this before." Onogi said in a painful tone. "I think Yuki went to S Hot Spring on purpose. On the night he came back, he asked me to pack his suitcase, and there were special products from S Hot Spring in it. However, Yuki didn't say anything. Since then Since then, I have made up my mind to leave Yuki quietly." Onogi listened silently. "Yucheng fully understands my feelings. So, after that time, he deliberately never came home. If he comes back, I plan to divorce immediately. During this period, this case suddenly happened. Yucheng saw The gentleman from the prosecutor's office is not at my house." "I know that." "There is only one thing that can barely make me feel at ease, and that is that Yuuki doesn't know Mr. Onogi yet. If he knew, that person would not let it go. He is a terrible person." The road under my feet stretched into the woods again.They didn't recognize each other, just walked slowly down the slope. "I don't care. The responsibility is on me. But then..." "No, that's not allowed. It is absolutely forbidden to make your name public. It doesn't matter what fate I suffer, but you can't. Your future is still to come!" Lai Zi continued, "Even if Yuki disagrees Divorce, I am also prepared to do it according to my own will." Onogi understood what she meant, although Lai Zi was concerned about his emotions and didn't speak out.But as a wife, she is also very painful about her breach of trust. "Remember we had dinner together in Yokohama a few days ago. In fact, I intended that time to be the last night I spent with you." "At last?" "Well. I wanted to keep it a secret from you. I went to a certain place to settle first, and then wrote to you from there. However, Yuki still didn't go home that night, and this kind of situation appeared the next morning. situation." Onogi asked suddenly: "Mr. Yuki actually loves you very much, right?" Lai Zi didn't make a sound. "I do feel this way! I have considered this issue before, and after hearing what you said just now, I feel that my thoughts have been strengthened. Mr. Yuki has never been by your side since he returned from S Hot Spring. , this is very clear. I feel that I seem to have a clear grasp of Mr. Yuki's psychology." Lai Zi still didn't answer.Onoki stopped, shook Laizi's shoulders with both hands, and said: "I don't think I'm wrong. Is it right? In fact, Mr. Yuki loves you. Mr. Yuki himself, probably because of what he did, in You have a sense of inferiority in front of you." The trees are dense and the shadows are thick.Lai Zi's expression could not be seen clearly, but her shoulders pressed by Onogi's hands were indeed trembling. "Mr. Yuki's heart hasn't left you. Mr. Yuki is deliberately alienating you. His shady profession made him have this kind of mentality. Moreover, Yuuki has women of all kinds, but none of them are good. Yuki-san really likes you. I think Yuki-san actually really loves you." "Please stop talking!" Lai Zi said in a voice that was about to burst into tears. "I just found out about this, and only recently. But it's too late. I only have Mr. Onogi in my mind." .I told Mr. Onogi a long time ago, please only think about me, please don’t look behind me and everything around me. Now it’s reversed. I only have Mr. Onogi in my heart.” With difficulty they came to a brightly lit corner, but then went back into the woods. "My behavior will be condemned by public opinion. In fact, I also feel sorry for Yuki. However, even if I say it 10,000 times now, it will not help. I decided not to go back. I stick to such a belief, Lai Zi has become another person." In the dark woods, a bright light began to seep through, which was the lighting of the deep temple. Behind Onogi and Laizi, a man walked down the slope lightly and unhurriedly. Taxi rolls into the blindingly lit streets. Lai Zi always turned his face out of the car window.Let Onogi hold his hand. "It will be here soon." Onogi knew that Lai Zi's home was approaching.He still remembered walking this road with his colleagues from the prosecutor's office in the early morning when the fog was shrouded in dense fog. Until then, the usual place to say goodbye to Lai Zi is still a long way from here.Now that I know Lai Zi's home, this is the first time I have come to such a close place.And Lai Zi also listened to Onogi's respect. A fork in Onogi's memory has arrived.Lai Zi exerted strength in her hands, and tightly clenched Onogi's fingers. "Let me get off here." Onogi had no words.The fork in the road is approaching rapidly, and there is a tall building at the corner that I have seen in my memory. "Did you call me?" Lai Zi whispered. "Hit. Have you been home?" Onogi said. "I'm not going anywhere." "In two or three days, we must fight." "I am waiting." Lai Zi gave another firm grip.Onogi answered vigorously. The taxi stops.Onogi went down first by himself, and then took Laizi out of the car. Lai Zi stood there motionless. "goodbye!" Onogi left Lai Zi behind and got into the car by himself. When the car drove, Lai Zi stood on the road, bowing his head to show his respect.Onogi turned his body to the rear window and waved goodbye. Lai Zi watched Onoki off, and an outdoor light shone on her in the distance.那身影仿佛好不容易才在夜风里站稳脚跟。小野木朝后面挥着手。 暗淡的灯光映出赖子的轮廓。尽管越来越远，怛她还一直在挥着手。 小野木成了孤身一人。他身旁的座位空着。几秒钟前还坐在那里的赖子不见了，仿佛消逝得无影无踪了。 他旁边听不到一点声息，即使伸手去触摸，也是空空如也，唯有寂寞在那里徘徊。这种空虚感实在令人难以忍受。 “停下。”小野木命道。 “这里可以吗？”司机减低车速，回头间了一句。这是条沿一堵昏暗围墙走向的道路，根本没有商店和其他设施，只有成群的车辆从旁边飞也似地往来穿行。 小野木付了款。一下到地面，他和赖子乘坐过的出租汽车便拖着尾灯跑远了。 继续乘坐那辆汽车，小野木再也无法忍受。身旁不见赖子，那充满空虚的座位使他感到压抑；似乎自己就要滑进黑的洞穴里一般。他想换乘一辆车，以便把这种情绪摆脱开。 小野木站在昏暗的街道上。路上没有一个行人，只有车辆往来频繁。小野木这才对自己留在街上感到一阵轻松。 他稍走了几步。可能是灯少的缘故吧，天空显得很清澈。悬在空中的月亮又换了一个位置。与在深大寺树林里所见到的月亮相比，它显得令人意外地平常。 ―辆空车减慢速度滑靠到正在步行的小野木身边。小野木坐进司机打开的车门里。 “您到哪儿？”车子跑起来后，司机问道。 “就这样跑一会儿吧！” 小野木此刻不想回去。在这种情况下他随便去什么地方都成，全然没有确定的目标。 小野木想象着返回结城家中的赖子。一切简直就象在梦境里一样。只是由于换乘了车子，他才得以摆脱无法忍受的寂寞。他那仿佛失去平衡似的可怕的坠落感已经淡漠了。 奇怪的是，一想到这辆车子赖子压根儿就没在自己身边坐过，对席位的空虚感立刻就变成了心灵上的寂寞。 街上的灯光毫无意义地流逝着。车子只管在街道上奔驶着。 出祖汽车来到一处宽阔的十字路口。 “往哪边开。”司机问。 “就这样好了。一直朝前开，到下车的地方我会说话的。” 司机很不高兴，默默地等待着通行的信号。 小野木的自我意识一点一点地苏醒过来了。这时，“工作”这个概念才在他脑海里复苏。 然而，对“工作”的思索，并没有使小野木产生勇气，有的只是苦恼。到刚才为止，由于赖子的存在，小野木头脑里一直在萦怀着她。待到小野木一个人的时候，这种心情就被锁入深处了。男人往往在只身独处的时候考虑“工作”，而小野木的“工作”，此刻却在谴责着他。那声音仿佛在说：“你难道不是个检察官吗？与被告的妻子陷入情网之中，检察官的职务还能得到正当的履行吗？” “是正当的！”小野木想叫出声来。他与赖子的恋爱，是在知道结城这个人物存在的很久以前。当时，在他面前的赖子只是一个女人。小野木心目中只有赖子这个孤独的女人。此外他便一无所知，也不想去知道了。 结城这个人是后来才出现的。自己跟赖子的恋爱与结城毫无关系，结城所犯的罪行以及他应得的惩罚，也与赖子没有一丝一毫的牵连…… 小野木很想这样喊叫出来。即使面对结诚，他也毫不避讳。在处理结城的罪恶和量刑的自我意识中，并不存在赖子。那只是检察官与被告的关系，中间并不存在赖子。小野木心里是这样一种看法。 然而，这主张确实空泛无力；这声音更是无法捉摸，好象即刻便会消失在太空之中。 眼下的问题是，如果社会上知道了自己与赖子的关系，他们会心平气和地予以承认吗？谴责必然接踵而来。 “检察官审理被告，必须不受任何牵制，不憎恶任何人，不抱任何偏见。” 这声音动动摇着小野木。他不相信自己的主张能顶住这强烈的冲击。 汽车在奔驰。实在是毫无意义的奔驰。 林律师一到办事处，就有两名办事员从椅子上起立问候。 “你们早！” 律师坐到自己办公桌前。早晨明亮的阳光正从窗子射进来。律师从带来的手提皮包里取出文件，这时一个女办事员来到旁边。 “立花先生在等您。” “噢，太好了。” 律师眼里闪着光，说了句“立刻请进来”。 "Good morning!" 进来的是一个头戴法国式贝雷帽的男人，瘦瘦的，三十岁左右。 “把昨晚的东西给您带来了。” “真快呀。”律师兴致很高。 “那以后我立即显影，连忙冲洗出来了。” 瘦男人递上一个纸袋。 “太辛苦了。搞到很晚吧！” 律师边打开纸袋边慰劳了一句。取出来的是五、六张照片。律师一张一张地仔细看着。 “到底因为不能使用闪光灯，所以拍得都不太理想。”瘦男人用手摸摸贝雷帽，“不过，我看总算显出了本人的特征。” "Ok." 律师一张一张很感兴趣地专心翻着。地点在寺院内。一对男女正在树林里紧挨着走路的背影，女方穿着白色的衣服，男的个头很高。远处的灯光照着人物的一侧。大约使用了高感度的胶卷，在光线不足的情况下，拍的算是蛮不错的。 “比想象的要好呢！”律师称赞说。 "yes?" “老弟，没叫他们本人发觉吧？” “那当然。不过，倒也费了好大劲。因为再没有旁人，所以忒怕对方听到我这边的脚步声，简直是提心吊胆啦。” 瘦男人报告着自己的辛劳，烦手从里面选出一张给律师看。 “这张使用了远距离聚光镜。这样脸看得很清楚吧？” “嗯，果然不错。” 照片上是个特写镜头，小野木和赖子正脸贴着脸说话。 “好！这张就解决问题了。” 这是一对男女正在幽会的一组照片。背景是夜深人静的森林。 “喂！”律师招呼正在工作的年轻办事员，“到这边来！给你们看一样好东西。” 两个办事员凑了过来。 “瞧瞧！”律师把那套照片摊到办公桌上，“怎么样啊？” “哈哈！”两个办事员脸上微微露出轻蔑的笑容，小心地翻检着一张一张的照片。 “是幽会吗？”办事员说。 “真是个好地方呀！在哪座山里？”一个办事员朝律师抬起头，问道。 “在市郊。” “看情形这两位是特意到那儿去的哪。” “是偷拍的吗？”另一个办事员一面仔细端详着照片，一面冲贝雷帽男人问道。 “对。”“贝雷帽”有点很自负的样子。 “这些全是正在走路的照片嘛。接吻的场面没拍下来吗？” “没有。这个，”瘦男人用手掌拍拍额头，“要是拍上那种场面，效果就十全十美啦。到底因为太暗，结果就那张没有成功。” “老弟，”律师转向“贝雷帽”，“两个人确实接吻了吗？” “是的。哎呀，看着看着我都要气破肚皮啦。因为有活计，所以才忍住了！否则，我真想朝他们吹一声口哨呢！” "Ok……" 律师略思索了一下，然后把两个办事员赶回他们的座位。 “照片拍得很好。下面你讲讲吧。按顺序一步一步地讲。” “我暗地埋伏在结城先生家前面。后来，太太出来了，我就在后面盯着。太太叫住一辆跑空的出租汽车走了，我立即跳上事前准备好的车子，从后面跟了上去。” 瘦男人口若悬河地动着薄嘴唇讲述着事情的经过。 “下车的地方在S车站附近。太太是在车站小卖店前等着那个男的。两人一见面，马上走进车站里面去了。我想他们这次要坐电车了吧！结果又朝这边折回来了。然后乘车站前的出租汽车，跑上甲州街道，就到了深大寺……” 律师一面频频点头，一面作着记录。 “这样大体上就清楚了。”瘦男人讲完，律师这样说道，“还有，派你去的那家秘密侦探社的情况怎样了？” “啊，那个也取来了。”瘦男人又从另外的口袋里拿出一个纸袋。 "This is it." 律师把纸袋打开。里面出现三张照片。 “嗯，不错。这是另外一个地方嘛。”律师入神地细心看去。地点是横滨新豪华饭店的餐厅。照片拍的是侧影，漫步深大寺树林的一男一女，隔着白色的餐桌相对而坐，正在高高兴兴地吃饭。 这以后大约又过了一个小时左右，女办事员送来一张名片。 “这位先生要见您。” 律师探头仔细看了看。 “怎么，是新闻记者吗？” 嘴上这样讲，脸上却是十分得意的神态。新闻记者来访，这是不多见的。律师表示十分欢迎，证据是他对女办事员所讲的：“把他接到客厅去。马上把茶和点心送上去。” 律师接着又动手查阅文件，但就是沉静不下来。本打算有意叫人家等一会儿，可自己却忍耐不住了。 "My name is Lin." 律师走进客厅，看到客人是一位二十七、八岁的高个子记者。 “在您诸事繁忙之中前来打扰，实在对不起。”新闻记者边见向律师微低下头说。 “您有什么事？”律师嘴角上露出悠然自得的微笑。女办事员遵照吩咐送上来咖啡和点心。连她那彬彬有礼朝客人问候、而后再退下去的动作，也是照了主人的指示办的。 “对不起，我是突然造访。”边见开门见山地说，“听说先生在这次有关R省的贪污案件中担任了律师，是这样的吧？” 林律师拖着肥胖的双下颏点了点头，露出十分高兴的样子。 “对的。这次决定为一名被告进行辩护。” “噢。”边见从口袋里掏出记录用纸，“先生为之辩护的是哪一位呢？” “结城。一个叫结城庸雄的人。” “是了，这人是居中帮助行贿的。” “啊，不知道行贿是否能成立呢。”律师很慎重。 “不，我来订正一下。”边见有点慌了，“就是站在企业家和政府官员之间的人吧？” “嗯，是这样的。” “这一案件的前景会怎么样呢？” “啊，还不十分清楚，因为调查似乎还没正式开始嘛。”律师流露出胸有成竹的微笑。他反问道：“案件是否会深入，你们记者还不详细吗？” “不，在我们这方面，说实话，真的不十分清楚。因为检察部门对我们防不胜防呀，所以才想到来先生这里请教，也许会明了大致情形。” “嗯……”律师含糊地回答说，“眼下还什么都不便讲哟。” “不，我们不会立即把它见报的。先生的尊姓大名自然也不会在报上出现。只是作为在这里进行的谈话，听听做参考而已。先生接受为结城先生辩护的重托以后，您的感想如何呢？我觉得结城先生是这个案子的核心人物之一。” “也许确实象你讲的那样。”律师回答说，“不过，我这方面也即将进行调查，在那之前还什么也说不出来。因为有这么个缘故，所以尽管你让我谈案件的前景，也还是无法讲出明确的看法。” “据外面的传说，结城先生还在企业家和政府机关之间起了牵线搭桥的作用；他对事实承认到何种程度呢？” 边见盯住不放，又继续问道：“比如，人们传说，结城先生从企业团体负责人那里接受了向R省上层官员做工作的委托。这个问题，结城先生已经开始亲口自供了吗。” “你是叫边见先生吧？”律师又确认了客人的姓名，“你诱导询问的技巧也很高明呢。对现在那些报社的先生可不敢马虎。但是，正象我方才讲过的那样，现在连资料还没有搜集齐全。” “可是，”边见并不放松，又追问道，“关于这个案件，先生所做的估计，是对被告方面有利的吧？” “这是毫无疑问的，我认为决不悲观。” “噢！那么，有什么根据？” “这现在还不能讲。但是，我坚信不疑。” “哦，原来如此。”边见稍沉默了一下，“结城先生亲口所作的自供，在政府机关方面，比如关于R省方面，谈到了何种程度呢？” “啊，这就不大清楚喽。”律师喷出一口烟。 “不过，某些方面已经出现了各种有关R省田泽局长周围的传闻，实际情况如何呢？” “是啊。”律师好象激他一样，收住了下半截话，“啊，这个问题现在还没到谈论的阶段嘛。” “结城先生是否在检察官面前说到了田泽局长的问题，这一点您也不了解吗？” “啊，其实我是昨天刚刚接受为结城先生辩护的，同他本人的商洽也还不很充分。请原谅我不作回答吧！” 律师这样讲过之后，又含蓄地笑着说：“不过，无论如何，关于结城先生的罪状，我是抱着非常乐观的态度的。” “您的意思是说……？”边见盯盯地注视着律师。 “不，这个问题在此地不便讲出来。可是，一旦我把这件事发表出去，就将给现在的检察部门以巨大的打击。从这个意义上讲，此案的前途是光明的。” 林律师煞象手腕高明的能干家，信心十足地这样说道。
