That night, Yamamoto did not leave the phone for a minute. "Kasai Shoji" must be a fake name.However, no matter the name is true or false, if you give him money, there will always be a phone call. As expected by Yamamoto, Kasai called just after 11 o'clock. "It was very rude to disturb you last night..." Yamamoto interrupted him: "What on earth do you want to do? I will be embarrassed if you do this, tell me how to return the money to you!" "Money, please accept it no matter what, please." Yamamoto became even more angry: "Don't you think it's too much to make such a request? Let a person you don't know at all help you kill someone, and put money into their account casually! What on earth are you doing?! "

"Well... I can't tell you." "why?" "In order not to leave any evidence." Yamamoto scolded the bastard, and hung up the phone with a snap. He opened a bottle of wine and drank a third of it in one gulp.Just as Jing Jiang blew away the dark clouds in his heart, the old man made the sky full of dark clouds again.This guy, who doesn't say a word about himself, says anything shamelessly "in order not to leave any evidence"!Could it be that the 100,000 yen he transferred to Yamamoto's account was a so-called advance payment? Thinking of this, Yamamoto couldn't help but clicked his tongue: he hung up the phone in a fit of anger, forgetting to ask him how he paid back his 100,000 yen.He was lying on his back on the bed, his body forming a "big" character. "Even if he donated money to me!" After thinking about it seriously, I felt that I was simply naive.Forget it, don't want it!However, when I finished drinking a bottle and opened another bottle unknowingly, I got a little drunk and remembered what happened last night. "Why do you have to entrust me to kill someone? If you want to know the real motive of the old man, why did you hang up the phone when you got angry? It is impossible to entrust someone else to kill for you with a mere 100,000 yen. What is the old man doing?" What's going on?" Yamamoto wondered more and more.

As if seeing through Yamamoto's mind, the phone rang again. "No matter how angry you are, it's reasonable. Please bear with me. But then again, I can't find anyone else to do this for me except you." Yamamoto asked himself to be calm, and said to the old man carefully, "I don't want to help you kill people, but I want to know what trouble you have encountered." "Really? Can you hear me?" Yamamoto hastened to emphasize: "I'm not agreeing to you, I just want to hear you talk about the troubles you encountered." "I understand that. If you will listen to me and tell me about my suffering, I will be very grateful."

The image of the bowed old man on the other end of the phone appeared in front of Yamamoto.Maybe it was because he was drunk, Yamamoto almost laughed out loud.I always thought that he was the most unlucky person in the world, but I didn't expect that there were people who bowed to him. This old guy named Kasai Shoji (not his real name, of course) was not as good as him!snort! "How should I put it, it's really an embarrassing thing to talk about, it's too embarrassing..." Kasai talked about his experience unhurriedly.What he narrated far exceeded Yamamoto's imagination.

It turned out that Kasai met a woman through a pornographic phone, and the two met several times in restaurants to have sex.Unexpectedly, there were cameras pre-set in the hotel room, and he didn't notice it at all.Not long after, when the two had a tryst, the woman was followed by a middle-aged man.The woman took out her student ID card and showed it to Kasai: third year in high school, 17 years old.The middle-aged man took out a video tape and stuffed it into the VCR on the spot. The content turned out to be Kasai's ugly scene when he had sex with a senior high school girl.The middle-aged man said that ten copies of the same videotape were made, and each one cost 1 million yen. He asked Kasai to buy one first, and then slowly buy it later...

Hearing this, Yamamoto couldn't laugh anymore.He had seen similar female high school students in documentary TV specials.A high school girl with a mosaic face shamelessly talks about how to seduce a rich old man in front of the camera.What do you say that the old man is both rich and poor in sexual ability, if you find the old man, you can not only make a lot of money, but also not tired... "At this age, I still can't stand the temptation. I haven't touched any other woman except my wife before..." Although it can be said that it is self-inflicted, it is pitiful for Kasai to be forced to this stage.To be honest, Kasai's desire to kill that high school girl was within the understandable range.However, Yamamoto couldn't help anything.

"Go to the police." Yamamoto suggested. "They said that if I call the police, they will send the videotape to my company, home, and all my relatives and friends. If someone watches that kind of stuff, I... will have no choice but to die," Kasai said. Cried, "If this continues, I will be entangled by them for the rest of my life. I have no other choice but to kill that man." male?Yamamoto felt a little puzzled: "Do you only kill men?" "Of course I hate women too, but killing two people is much more likely to be discovered than killing one. If a woman hears that a man has been killed, she will be too scared to pester me any more."

"But what if the woman goes to the police? You are the first to be suspected." "I don't think the woman dares to call the police. She is also a member of the extortion gang. Doesn't that mean throwing herself into the trap?" "What if she calls the police anonymously?" "So I beg you. I'm going to make an alibi." Oh, Yamamoto suddenly understood: the old man had neither strength nor courage, so he entrusted others to kill for him.Not only that, but he had to create evidence of his own alibi so that the police would not have the slightest suspicion of him.

Behind the honest and candid voice, there is a careful and scheming fellow. Yamamoto was wary.Through this conversation, he already knew that Kasai was just a guy who wanted to kill but didn't want to be responsible, so there was no need to talk to him any longer. Just as Yamamoto was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered that there was an important question he hadn't asked: "I said, Mr. Kasai, why did you tell me these things?" "I read your statement." "confession?" "Yes. I have a relative who is a police officer. I read your statement through him. Although your case was reported on newspapers and TV, it is very different from your statement. I read your statement repeatedly and think that You didn't lie. You did kill someone, but I think you were a victim of that incident and I think you were wronged."

An indescribable pleasure spread throughout Yamamoto's body.Kasai's words reached Yamamoto's heart. Kasai went on to say, "Now that I've had something like this happen to me, I'm reminded of you. I thought you'd understand my situation, so I hired a private detective to find your phone number. Please, You must help me!" Yamamoto felt cold all over, and the pleasure just now disappeared without a trace.It's terrible that two people who don't know each other can understand each other's feelings so much, and they can discuss "don't kill people" so calmly!

You have to get away quickly! Thinking of this, Yamamoto said: "Don't you have a relative who is a policeman? Talk to him about it!" "If finding him can solve the problem, will I come to trouble you again?" "Anyway, I will never do it, you just give up on it. Hang up." Yamamoto said this in a very peaceful tone in order to avoid provoking the other party. Even so, the old man yelled like crazy: "I beg you! This is a 'crime without leaving traces' and you will not be allowed to leave any traces! The police will definitely not suspect you! For you If you say it's easy, you can help me..." Yamamoto hung up the phone with a "snap" for the third time. After unplugging the phone line and turning off the lights, Yamamoto pulled off a sheet and covered it, ready to go to bed.It took quite a while for the rapid heartbeat to calm down. "I hope Kasai can find another person who can kill for him and realize his murder plan." Yamamoto looked at the window and thought.
