Chapter 40 Chapter Four

Two days later, I came to Tokyo.I'm determined to solve this mystery, so I want to meet Sakiko's brother. I didn't want to ask Zao Liang, so I secretly contacted Zao Liang's editor and asked him to tell me. The young editor took me to a nearby coffee shop.He also has some doubts about this matter.For a while, neither of us spoke. "I suggested he publish that." The editor finally spoke. "Isn't it Zao Liang's idea?" "Yes, the teacher had other jobs at the time. Although he said he would try his best to finish the manuscript, it was difficult to write a novel of nearly a hundred pages in such a short period of time, so I strongly suggested that he use the novel he showed me before. That one was just published in a fanzine a long time ago, there's nothing wrong with it, and it's definitely going to resonate with my generation as a great book."

"A long time ago... when was it?" "About twenty years ago, of course the teacher made a lot of revisions." Sure enough.I nod. "Did something happen?" The editor was a little worried, "To be honest, I was a little surprised when I received a call from Mr. Araki, because the teacher kept saying that he didn't know your whereabouts." "Three days ago, we met in Sendai." He was even more surprised when he heard me say that. "Where did you read the old fanzine you just mentioned?" "After the teacher confirmed that I would be his editor, he showed it to me. He said that although he is writing detective stories now, he used to write novels in a down-to-earth manner."

"That is to say, you have that fanzine in your hand?" "Yes, I had copies on my desk. I was pressed for time, so the first draft came out soon." "May I see it?" I begged.Since it was written a long time ago, maybe some clues can be found. The editor sighed: "This...is a little tricky, I have to say hello to the teacher." "Actually, you also feel a little strange, don't you?" The editor nodded slightly upon hearing this. "After reading that novel, not only Sakiko's brother, everyone will think that my relationship with Sakiko is unusual, but I swear we are just ordinary friends. Why did Zaoliang write like that..."

"The fanzine version is more detailed. On that, you ended up having a relationship." The editor stood up as if making up his mind. I looked at the copy and felt dizzy. In the revised novel, I was stroking Sachiko's buttocks and lost interest; in this version, I was aroused, and I jumped up and had sex with Sachiko from behind. There was a peach-sized mole on the right side of Sachiko's buttocks, and it was this mole that made Santa excited again.Sachiko knew that he was looking at the mole, and desperately covered it.The third wife pushed her hand away and kissed the mole lightly.

Sachiko seemed to relax and opened her legs to accept Santa.The two were weeping and entangled together. "Actually, I quite like this part." The editor glanced at where I was looking and said.Maybe it was because she wanted to protect Zaoliang. "This part was deleted for some reason. Through this description, it can be clearly seen that the protagonist is inclined towards Sachiko." I was deaf to his words. The mole on the buttocks in the novel remains clearly in my memory—no, not in my memory, but I have kept nude photos of the woman with the mole for many years. Photos are from Tasho.He went to Europe to study photography.The woman was lying on the bed without showing her face, but she looked like a Japanese woman.

(what is the problem……) I scratch my head.The development of things is somewhat unexpected. "What's wrong?" The editor looked at me suspiciously. "Does Sakiko also have a mole on her body..." He was startled when he heard me talking to myself.
