Chapter 2 Toastmaster's Secret

(Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) Please excuse my rudeness in writing to you out of the blue.I am a librarian working at the Sugito Town Library. In fact, this time, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of our library, I would like to invite writers to give a lecture here.Then, when discussing who would be more appropriate to call, someone suggested Nishimura Xiang, a local-born writer. Because the old stubborn curator didn't know his name before, I explained to him that he is a famous and popular writer of mystery novels recently.The library also has the first collection of short stories "Flying Trojan Horse" and the second collection of short stories "Owl in the Morning" by Mr. Hu, so hurry up and show them to the curator for reading.He said: "Oh, the writing is really good." When he found out that his husband lived in Sugito Town, he said that he would invite him to give a speech no matter what.Now, the curator is more motivated than me.

However, nowhere in my husband's book does it mention that I live in Sugito-cho.Although there is an indifferent mention of a female college student living in a small town in the Kanto Plains.According to the description of this street, I am sure it is Sugito-cho, where we live, in the northeast of Saitama Prefecture.Because the scene of Kotonegawa Kawahara, which appeared as a proper noun, is unique to Sugito Town, and you can also feel the smell of the wind on the river at dawn. Sugito—is a good place.45 minutes from Asakusa along the Tobu Isesaki Line.To the south is Kasukabe City, and to the north is Kuki City, so there is a general concept of geographical relationship.The nearest station is Tobu Zoo Station.Surprisingly, many reasoning writers have lived in this area since long ago.In Miyashiro-cho to the south lived Ryoshi Toba, the author of the Edogawa Ranpo Award, and to Shirooka-cho to the west lived Kazushi Horihara, who wrote "The Wrong First Hair".

Even Nakamachi Shinji lived in Iwatsuki District, Saitama Prefecture in the south west.As far as a rural area in the Kanto Plain is concerned, there are really many. However, although I deduced that you lived on the banks of the Guligen River, it is not clear any further.Although it would be nice to contact the editorial department to get your address, but because you are a cover writer, you won't even tell me your age, let alone male or female.So even though I felt a bit dragged, I had to send a dependency letter to the editorial agency. A lot of things have been said before, all in all, our library hopes to invite the local resident reasoning writer Nishimura Xiang to come to our lecture meeting and give a valuable speech.

The time is April 10th (Sunday) at three o'clock in the afternoon.The location is the audio-visual room on the third floor of the library.One hour is enough.The subject matter is "The Private Life of a Mystery Writer" or "Our Sugito Town and Mystery Novels", or the subject you think about yourself.What we most want to see is the presence of Mr. Please fill in the promise on the enclosed postcard.Since it is urgent, please send it to me by fax. (Nishimuraxiang gave Shigeru Inoue a quick delivery) About whether to attend the 25th anniversary commemorative lecture of the establishment of Sugito Town Library.

promise no I saw the letter that Xiongtai sent me through the publishing house.It is an absolute honor to have chosen me.But now I'm too busy to go out.It's a pity, please invite me again next time you have a chance. Kaishin: I have no relationship with Sugito-machi, just in case. (Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) I read the letter my husband sent me with a sad heart.I originally planned that you would definitely accept it, but it seems like I was betrayed by you. In fact, I thought my husband would agree, so I asked the curator to print the library newspaper.If my husband refuses, I will be criticized in every possible way for recommending him.So please attend the lecture with the mentality of saving me.

I understand that you are very busy, and since it is a memorable lecture for us, I can give you 200,000 yen as a special gift. The fact that Mr. lives in Sugito-cho is obvious from the fact that Mr. Sugito Bureau sent the express to the cancellation bureau.No matter how much my husband denies it, I can't hide it from me who is a fan of reasoning.Since you live near the library, please come here as if it were a walk.It doesn't matter if the time is thirty minutes, please contact me as soon as possible. (Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) There is still a week before the lecture, because I have not received a response from Mr., I understand it as your acquiescence and gave the curator an OK answer.The curator is very happy.He's a nice guy who's about to reach retirement age.As the last memory, I made up my mind to make the speech meeting a success.

So I ask you again, please be sure to attend our speech meeting and contact me once.If you don't contact me again, as a default, I will spread the news of your visit in the town. Follow-up: How about 300,000 yen for the lecture fee? (Fax from Kaoru Nishimura to Shigeru Inoue) I have already sent you a fax of rejection the day before yesterday, so I am surprised why things have turned out like this.Although I am very happy that you chose me, but the new semester is always too busy to go out.If you just said it to the curator, then I can contact your curator directly.That way, your position won't go bad either.Just say that I suddenly received an overseas business trip and couldn't come here.

Now, I'm starting to write a new work, and I have to be extremely focused.People like me are not fit to speak, and I'm writing as a cover writer so please be considerate.It is not the policy of the editorial department to debut as a cover writer, but because I cannot disclose my identity.If the workplace finds out that I am a masked writer, all kinds of troubles will arise (even my family will not know my identity) So, if I give away my real identity by speaking in public, that's going to be a problem.And if there are reporters around at that time, my identity will be known to all readers.Please consider where I personally stand.As my reader, you will definitely put yourself in my shoes and consider it for me.

(Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) Five days until Memorial Oratory Day. When my husband gave me a negative reply, I couldn't help but doubt my eyes.I thought that if I added 300,000 yen as a gift, my husband would definitely reconsider. It seems that I am too naive. Correspondence with Mr. is through the editorial office.If I wanted to tell my husband the latest events, it would take two days of work even if I used Suda.This can also be regarded as a kind of incomplete contact. I didn't expect my husband to refuse. This is a big head. Because the flyer for Mr. to give a speech has been made.Even if someone else is replaced immediately, it is already too late.Even for Mr. Toba Ryo and Horihara Kazu who live nearby.

So, yesterday, I wandered around Guli Genchuan for a long time in order to personally come to Mr. Wang to persuade you.You must live near here.I knock on the door of every family, and I am absolutely sure that I will find Mr.In Mr.'s novel, walk across a bridge from the station, turn right, and you will find the house where female college students live.I reasoned that that was where Mr. lived. But once there, I didn't expect there to be so many families.Sugito is now a marginalized city in Tokyo with a growing population.The fields were buried by newly built houses one by one.But I couldn't just stand there blankly. After crossing the bridge, I asked one by one, "Um... is this Mr. Nishimuraka's house?"

Perhaps the husband is not a full-time writer, because the word "new semester" appears in the letter, so it can be inferred that the husband should be a teacher in the school.So when someone responded that they didn't know, I asked, "Is there a teacher living in the school near here?" Surprisingly, there are more teachers than I thought.From elementary school to high school, and even college professors.And cooking schools, flower arrangements, tea ceremonies, and dance teachers... After asking about 30 households, I found that I couldn't get a clue if I continued to ask.I realized that although Nishimura-san lived nearby, it was impossible for me to thoroughly investigate which one. At that time, I thought of going to the editorial agency to inquire, and the other party replied coldly that because my husband is a cover writer, I can't disclose your personal privacy.I told them about my dilemma over there, and they replied with a smile: "Mr. obviously rejected you, and that is your own fault." Sir, what's the matter?Please contact me as soon as possible! Sugito Town Library's 25th anniversary commemorative lecture. "The masked reasoning writer, Nishimuraxiang, has come to my place." The mysterious mystery writer who lived in Sugito finally got rid of his mysterious veil! Topic: "About My Hometown Sugito and Creation" Date and time: April 10 at 3:00 p.m. Venue: Sugito Town Library 3rd Floor Audiovisual Room (Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) There are still three days until the opening of the lecture.Ahh, what the hell should I do. please.We never notify the media or anything.What I want to tell you is that there is absolutely no need for you to worry about your identity being exposed. There were about three hundred people in the audience, all powerful people, book club members, and library readers.Just say thirty minutes is enough.A billboard has been pasted on the entrance of the library: "Face-covering mystery writer, Kaoru Nishimura is here" (refer to the enclosed photo) billboard, you can't regret it. (The exaggerated thing like setting up billboards is done by the curator, and has nothing to do with me. Just in case I add a sentence) If my husband doesn't come by then, my face will be completely ruined, and I can no longer work in the library.Although you will say, didn't you do it all by yourself, but I did it out of a pure desire to make my husband more famous in my hometown.Definitely not in name only. The first time I picked up Mr.'s work was in Kasukabe's bookstore.Because I was attracted by the title of "Flying Trojan Horse", I got it in my hand and read it carefully.Mystery novels are supposed to be about someone being killed, and the detective solves the case, but no one is killed in Mr.'s works. For the trivial and small puzzles in daily life, it is the model of Mr.'s works to give exquisite reasoning.There are no flaws in theory, and it is not an exaggeration as a model for this novel. This is not out of politeness, but out of sincerity.If it weren't for this, I wouldn't ask Mr. to be the lecturer for the lecture.As a resident of Sugito, just being able to stand under the same sky and breathe the same air as my husband is perfect.Among the townspeople, there are still many who have not heard of your name, but if everyone knows that Mr. Sugito can write such fashionable mystery novels, everyone will buy your books one after another. I think I also contributed a little to your sales. Zhuishin: If there are too few thank you materials, I discussed with the curator and tried to increase it to 400,000 yen.This is already a tight line. (Fax from Kaoru Nishimura to Shigeru Inoue) Things that don't work just don't work.Whether Xiongtai is my book fan or not, it has nothing to do with whether I attend the lecture or not. I was simply too busy to go out.If it's really my Shumi, I should be able to understand.I also hope to continue writing as a cover writer. (Shigeru Inoue's speed delivery to Nishimura Kaoru) I finally caught the true identity of Mr. It may surprise you to say this, but I'm sure sir is a middle-aged male.As for why I understood, it was because I read Mr. Fax.The address and date of sending the letter were written on the fax paper, and the address of sending the letter was found to be seven-eleven in Sugito Town.The letter was sent at eleven o'clock last night. I hurried to Seven-Eleven and asked the clerk what kind of person sent the fax.Because it was very late and few people used faxes, the clerk remembered it very clearly. A thin male with a height of 165 centimeters in his late forties.Impatiently, he kept looking around.The face is flat and featureless.Since the clerk's sighting information and the time of sending the fax are almost exactly the same, the sender must be this man.According to the clerk's testimony, after the husband walked through the street, he walked eastward.There is the direction of Guli Genchuan.This also confirmed that my reasoning was correct. But, it's hard to extrapolate after that.Because the husband didn't commit any crimes, it was impossible for me to take the clerk to knock on the door one by one to inquire.However, I have been able to confirm that the husband lives in Sugito, so I would like to add this last sentence. Please come to the lecture, sir.Don't talk about thirty minutes anymore, just ten minutes is enough. Then today, the curator also asked me: "Is it really all right, sir?" I just hinted that Mr. Xia had a sudden illness, and the curator's face turned pale. "We've come to this point, it can't be like this, Inoue-kun." "But, curator..." "It's not a joke. If the skylight is really opened, all the responsibilities will be paid by Inoue-kun, and I don't care." You can't joke around with the curator.It is a supreme order, and Mister must be brought here.Afterwards, I told the curator that I wanted a lecture fee of 500,000 yen. The curator discussed with the director of the street education section and the manager of the section, and got an OK answer.However, there is a condition that a signing session must be held. Sir, what are the conditions like this?If the husband does not participate by then, not only me, but even the curator will lose face.Please treat it as saving lives, and please come to attend anyway. Five hundred thousand yen is already an exception among exceptions.No matter which great gentleman has come so far, it is only 300,000 yen.That is how much we expect from Mr. I'm sure you'll be here. (Nishimuraxiang gave Shigeru Inoue a quick delivery) No matter what is said, who will be fired, I will not be in the toastmaster.I hate speaking in public, let alone signing autographs or something, which is impossible.Xiongtai's self-talking request, besides making me unhappy, is not pleasant.Aren't you entangled in self-assertion and digging your own grave?To blame, it should be said. Anyway, this incident made me very angry this time, ignoring my intentions, and unconsciously widely publicizing that I am going to give a speech to you.In such a situation, even if a million yen or 10 million yen is piled up in front of me now, I will fight hard not to participate.Do you understand. — from The Cover Writer. Kaishin: Ah, just like your reasoning, I live in Sugito.Look for me if you can find me.If Xiongtai likes reasoning like you said, try reasoning. You country bastard!Annoying gnats. (Leaflet of Kaoru Nishimura's lecture) Nishimura's lecture will open tomorrow!The masked writer will shed its veil of mystery. The writer's true face is about to be revealed.Is Nishimuraxiang a man or a woman, and who is he?After the lecture, there will be a signing event for Nishimura Kaoru's new works.Everyone is welcome to participate. Date: April 10th at 3:00pm Venue: Sugito Town Library 3rd Floor Audiovisual Room (Send by Shigeru Inoue to Kaoru Nishimura) I understand Mr.'s anger.Even if I was called a fool or a countryman, I would not reply.If you scold me, I will happily accept it. However, we will not give up until the end, and the speech will finally start tomorrow.I craned my neck and waited for Mr. to come. The above leaflet has been distributed throughout Sugito Town. Can you see the disappointed expressions of people who read the leaflet and wanted to see Mr. but returned angrily because they could not see him. I will wait for you until the last moment. (Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Kaoru Nishimura) April tenth.That day was a day I will never forget in my life. I still haven't received the notification promised by my husband, and the speech meeting plan can't be stopped, and the opening day is ushered in.As for the curator, I reported on my own that Mr. will be present.All in all, 100 copies of your new work "Death in Spring" are stacked at the reception area at the entrance, ready to hold an autograph session afterwards.Knowing that I'm the only one who won't come, makes me feel uneasy. At two o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no one in the venue. It would be great if no one came, I couldn't help but think this way.However, at 2:30, several groups of elderly people came, and the seats were gradually filled. "A masked writer or something, is he really wearing a mask?" It seems that the old lady who has not read Nishimuraxiang's works seems to really think that a masked writer is a person who writes with a mask. "The so-called masked writers are writers who do not disclose their identities." After I said so. "Oh, in that case, is that person a man or a woman?" "I am not sure." "Even you don't know, huh." The old lady seemed a little suspicious, turned her face to her companion, and grinned loudly. It is clear at a glance that these old people are here to pass the time, and they can't help but feel a little useless.My mood became a little melancholy. At that time, the members of the reading club also entered the venue one after another, and some of them were very talkative, and even the president looked at me expectantly: "I really look forward to seeing the real Xicun today." What about Mr. Xiang?" And the wife of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry asked: "Will the sir really come?" I was also full of this kind of anxiety in my mind.If I can't hide the fact that my husband didn't come, how should I explain to these people?As the person in charge, I will definitely be cut into eight pieces. Just thinking about this makes my heart feel uncomfortable. At 3:15, nearly 80% of the seats in the venue were full, and the audience was still entering in wave after wave.All the powerful people on the street were sitting in the first row, and the curator whispered to me who was standing at the entrance, "Hasn't the sir come yet?" "Well, but it's about time." Although I tried my best to hide the uneasiness on my face, I didn't have the confidence to succeed. "It's okay, I won't stop coming." The curator looked at my face and suddenly became gloomy. "Ha...it should be fine" I prevaricated with ambiguous language. Ten minutes before leaving the venue, the venue was already full.Even so, there were still batches of people entering the venue. There were standing guests at the back of the venue, and even the corridors were full of people. But no one noticed the depression in my heart.I was almost unable to resist the anxiety, and I almost fell into a panic. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was overcrowded.In addition to the capacity of 300 people in the venue, another 100 people were standing.The audience all stared at the podium with expectant eyes, but Mr. still did not show up. "Inoue-kun, what's going on?" The curator with a livid face rushed towards me with garlic-like words.Looking at the hot venue, I felt dizzy. "Please let me go to the bathroom." Standing or sitting or not, I slipped out of the venue like a refugee, and when I got to the toilet, I soaked my hot cheeks with water.Ahh, it's over.When I started to think about whether to go with the flow like this, my wet face was reflected in the mirror.When I shook off the water drops, I suddenly found—— To my surprise, wasn't there a masked person standing in front of me.This person is wearing women's stockings, sunglasses and a mask on his face.Suddenly such a strangely dressed person appeared, no matter who would be terrified. "Ah, stupid idiot!" I cried out in fear. "Shh, take it easy. Inoue-kun. I'm Kaoru Nishimura." "Hey? It's a lie." "I'm Kaoru Nishimura who wrote "The Flying Trojan Horse." "..." I didn't expect Mr. to be a woman.But the voice was clearly a female voice.The name Nishimuraxiang makes people confused whether it is a man or a woman. I always think it is a man.Mr.'s works are all described from the perspective of female college students, but the sensibility of men is revealed between the lines.What is revealed from the words is also the unique upbringing quality of middle-aged men. "Sorry, I am late." He is about 165cm taller than me and has a similar build.Wearing a plain gray suit, he probably entered the venue among ordinary visitors, and then put on stockings in the toilet. "I'm sorry I'm dressed like this, but I don't want anyone to see my face. Although I can tell from the voice that I'm a woman, there's nothing I can do about it." I was quite surprised that the masked writer was really wearing a mask. I felt a little ashamed for laughing at the ignorant old woman just now. "Then let's enter the arena together, everyone is waiting." The husband urged me instead, and I suddenly came back to my senses. "Yes, yes, then please." We ran to the venue together.Seeing Mr.'s strange attire, Delaker gasped, and the originally noisy venue became so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.This includes the surprise that the masked writer is really wearing a mask, and that Nishimuraxiang is actually a woman.Then, when one person started clapping, like an epidemic, there was an explosion of clapping in the venue. I suppressed the high spirits in my heart, and I was sure that this speech would be a success. Mr. stood on the podium, took off his mask, and bowed deeply to everyone. "Sorry I'm late, I'm Nishimura Xiang." Although the tone is a little nervous, but the pronunciation is very clear.The husband talked about "mystery novels and hometown" and "reasons for becoming a cover writer" and other topics as if he was in a hurry.Through the brown stockings, you can see the sincere expressions of the audience.The voice was muffled because she was speaking through the stockings, but it was not indistinct at all.The venue became a little hot because of the heated atmosphere, but the gentleman didn't even wipe off his sweat, and further told the riddle of writing. Originally scheduled for half an hour, the speech far exceeded.It was half past four when it was over.Among them, no one left the table, and everyone turned their attention to the husband like a nail. After finishing his speech, the gentleman bowed to everyone.There was thunderous applause in the auditorium.What a perfect speech.I have listened to several speeches so far, but this is the first time to capture people's hearts like this.Mr. Gentleman's gentleness seems to come through from the other end of the stockings.If I really want to say it, I still hope that my husband can take off his stockings and meet you without makeup.But also can not disrespect your meaning. The gentleman bowed deeply to everyone.He walked out of the door silently. The series of "strange things" that happened after that are really in line with the style of a reasoning writer. Monsieur disappeared like a puff of smoke.I chased after Mr. closely, and when I ran to the entrance, I could no longer see you.After that, the audience in the venue gathered in the hall, and I didn't have time to search for it. In the women's restroom, I saw the gray stockings and mask placed by my husband.I'm afraid Mr. has already undressed and mixed into the crowd.Perfect quick response, really worthy of being a reasoning writer.True to its name. But what was surprising was not only this, even the 500,000 yen thank you gift disappeared from the portable safe.The 500,000 yen was not stolen. It can be inferred from the envelope with Nishimura's seal left at the scene.What a well-crafted show. "You are worthy of being a reasoning writer." Headed by the curator, there was no one who did not praise Mr. Thank you, sir.Thanks to you, the lecture ended with great success, and the heads of me and the curator were both saved. Thank you, thank you very much.The autographed copies were all sold out, and we added another hundred copies. I will ask for your advice later on.yes.It is best to accept my invitation once every six months, and it would be even better if you can become a lecturer in the book club. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for accepting my interruptions twice and three times. ——From your enthusiastic reader Shigeru Inoue. Follow-up: Is the mystery of your disappearance just like my reasoning?Please let me know if you can. (Letter from Kaoru Nishimura to Shigeru Inoue) In fact, I also went to the 25th anniversary lecture of the establishment of the Sugito Town Library on April 10.Then, something unbelievable was witnessed there.It was so unbelievable that I kept rubbing my eyes. At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 10th, I thought I'd better go and see that stupid lecture you repeatedly asked me to attend.So I went to the audio-visual room on the third floor of the library.According to the situation at the scene, it is not impossible to give a speech on stage at that time.At that time, there was no room for people to sit down, and even the corridors were full of people.I stood at the end.The banner of "Mr. Nishimuraxiang Lecture" was erected on the altar, and the atmosphere of the audience was also very enthusiastic.At three o'clock, the most important lecturer hadn't arrived yet, and the audience was a little impatient.Unless I, who had sneaked in, revealed my identity, the speech would not have started.I watched from the sidelines with a mentality that I didn't care about the matter.There is a group of panicked staff near the podium, but I don't know who is the brother. So, at 3:05, a masked guy actually appeared on the stage. Please imagine my state of mind at that time.There was clearly a real Nishimura Xiang under the venue, but there was another Nishimura Xiang standing on the podium.And that guy is a woman. The woman dressed up as Nishimuraxiang talked about Nishimuraxiang's novels.Not only did he get applause from the house, he got 500,000 yen, and he disappeared like a puff of smoke.What is even more astonishing is that the fraudster has signed a hundred volumes of my book. What a provocative act.I don't think even Lupine, the big monster, can do such a beautiful thing.It's jaw-dropping. After reading the letter from Xiongtai, "Nishimura Xiang" appeared in the women's restroom at three o'clock, took you to the venue, and finished the speech.After that, I took the 500,000 yen as a thank you gift, and undressed in the restroom.Then disappear.It should be said that Nishimura Xiang is worthy of being a mystery writer. After I went to the venue to listen to "Ms. Nishimuraxiang"'s passionate speech, I bought a "book signed by myself" at the entrance of the venue, and I was sulking while reading it.At that time, should I have yelled in the venue: "This person is a fake."Once the report is made, they will have to produce evidence that I am the real Nishimuraxiang.As a cover writer, I have to keep things from going this way.The fraud master also happened to catch my weakness, which is really brilliant. Annoyance plus regret kept me up all night. The next day, I received a letter of thanks from Xiongtai. Fortunately, reading that letter, I see through all the truth.It's actually a boring event. Here are some hints: ⑴ The fake is a woman.It was obvious from the venue that she was undoubtedly a woman from the looks of her body.Unlike men dressed as women, even the voice must be female. (2) Since she can stand on the podium and talk about Nishimuraxiang for an hour and a half, it proves that she has at least read all my works and done in-depth research.That is my book fan. (3) The counterfeiter has the leeway to sign a hundred books. (4) The counterfeiter knows in advance where the 500,000 yen is stored. Wait, all kinds.What do you think, Ms. Inoue Shigeru (しげ)? Your name is written as "Shigeru Inoue", and I subconsciously pronounce "Mao" as "シゲル" and blindly regard you as a man.But Mao can also be read as "シゲ", which means you are actually a woman. As for why I understood, it was because you described yourself washing your face in the toilet, and when you looked up and saw the "woman" covering your face in the mirror, after reading that paragraph, haha, I knew you were a woman in a flash of inspiration.Ask me why, isn't it only women who can enter the women's toilet dignifiedly without being blamed by others? That is, all the evidence points to you. ⑴You are a woman. ⑵ is my fanatical book fan. (3) Understand the internal situation of the library, and have time to sign one hundred books.Of course, I also know where (4) is stored.Even the time to undress is enough. Let’s first analyze your mental state that day. Although you tried all means to ask me to attend the lecture, I still refused to nod.Although it is said to be the arbitrary decision of the curator, since it has been announced that I will give a speech, it is hard to get over it. Well, what should I do, how can I solve the current predicament. That is, the day before yesterday, you wanted to persuade me, but you were about to fail, so you quickly worked your mind and came up with the idea of ​​becoming Nishimuraxiang's substitute.At three o'clock in the afternoon, you know I won't come, run into the women's room pretending to be looking for me, and put on a mask there.One person pretends to be two people acting, really good acting skills. Put on a gray suit, and you stand on the podium.You start to blunder from there, writing psychological descriptions that only the person involved will understand. "Through the brown stockings, you can see the sincere expressions of the audience..." Such a description proves that you played Nishimuraxiang. Pretend to be you of Nishimura, and tell Nishimura theory according to your own ideas.Because the speech is so good, no one suspects that you are a fake.And speaking through stockings, the sound quality is different from usual, and even the curator didn't realize that it was you standing on the stage. After the speech, you bowed and ran to the toilet to undress and return to the usual Shigeru Inoue.Then, as if he didn't know anything, he began to sell the autographed books piled up at the entrance of the venue, and stamped the "Nishimura" seal bought at the seal shop on the 500,000 yen receipt book.Isn't it the disappearance of perfection? Then, the whereabouts of the 500,000 yen should be in your bank account.Maybe it also contains the idea of ​​revenge on me. When you know that I can't go, your focus becomes to want my 500,000 yen lecture fee, isn't it? I can see that you are very pleased with the successful conclusion of the Toastmasters.The secrets that should have been kept secret were written one by one in the letter, calling him to dig his own grave.I'm a reasoning writer.Impossible not to see through your little measurements. Miss Shigeru Inoue (シゲ). Follow-up: The handwriting of your letter is consistent with the handwriting on the autograph book I bought.You can no longer shirk. (From Shigeru Inoue's deposit account) *Year*Month*Day/Deposit Remaining 3411500, 000534, (Letter from Shigeru Inoue to Nishimura Kaoru) As expected of Mr.It amazes me that I can see through everything.Although he didn't want to admit it, Mister guessed almost everything right. Ahhhh, what a pity that I wanted to get the 500,000 yen for one vote.Mister said he wouldn't come to the lecture, but he sneaked in anyway.What a wicked person. The 500,000 yen has already been deposited into the husband's bank account through the editorial department, please use it as a blocking fee, and keep everything confidential. Kaishin: As expected, Mr. lives in Sugito, so he must be a teacher at the school.I'm going to find you out for a meeting.Fortunately, the library has a list of teachers and staff in the county, so it is very easy to find them.As long as the Uesugito family knocks on the door, it will be fine. Then, if I find it... Ugh, it's so exciting. (From Shigeru Inoue's deposit account) *Year*Month*Day/Withdrawal Remaining. 3415500, 00034, 350.

Notes:
