Chapter 16 Chapter VII

The next day, Xi Muzi called Jiangguchi's company, and she deliberately mentioned the name of her magazine.Because she wants to put pressure on the other party. She achieved her goal, and Eguchi agreed to meet Xi Muzi at a tea shop near the company during lunch break. Eguchi didn't know Xi Muzi, and Xi Muzi had taken several photos of him as a reporter. "You came to see me, is it about Miss Yuko who committed suicide?" Eguchi asked straight to the point. "Yes, it's about Miss Yuko." "If that's the case, please read tomorrow's N Weekly, it will introduce everything."

Eguchi said to Xi Muzi in a mocking tone. "Everything was introduced? What was introduced?" "Miss Yuko died of suicide." "Does it mean that because you announced to her that you would end the affair between the two of you, she couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide?" "Don't you know everything!" "yes." "The mass media is making a fuss, and N Weekly will report on it." "What will happen to you?" "I will definitely be fired. Because of the scandal that I had an affair with a female subordinate, which eventually led to her suicide. I plan to resign voluntarily. Your magazine can also report on these things, and you can conduct a second round of reports after N Weekly .”

Eguchi laughed when he said this. "Why do you want to end this relationship with her? Is she going to force you to divorce your wife and marry her?" "Ah, that's what I mean, and let my wife know. I can't choose this way." "Do you love her?" "I don't know. Maybe love, maybe just compassion." "Despicable conduct." "Yes, I am a disgraceful man." Eguchi said.When he said this, Xi Muzi felt that he had nothing to say. "What does Madam think about Miss Yuko's death?" "My wife has nothing. It's just that her heart is heavy. If she asks for a divorce, I can't help it."

"Do you know a lady who sees Yuki Inoue?" "No, I don't know." "She was my friend. She was killed." "Really? What does it have to do with me?" Eguchi asked nonchalantly. In the N Weekly magazine published the next day, the content of Eguchi's talk was indeed published.Although there are not many pages, Eguchi's "Daimyo" is finally listed on it. One of the eye-catching lead lines: The whole story of an outstanding section chief of a first-class company ending an unethical relationship. Kasuga Yuko's name also appeared in the article.

Xi Muzi called the Central Iron and Steel Company, and the other party told her that Section Chief Eguchi had resigned and returned home yesterday. In Xi Muzi's view, this is a play that has already closed. The play is played out in a coherent way. The boss had a typical "office romance" with a female subordinate.The female clerk committed suicide in desperation after confirming that she would not get the love she was waiting for.The man also took the blame and resigned because he felt deeply guilty. If it was the editor-in-chief Tajima, he would definitely say so. "It's too bland and nothing new. It's exactly the same as an ordinary note or report."

But the different "dissonant sounds" produced in Xi Muzi's heart can never disappear. Because after Yuko's death, Jianxue also died.In any case, she always felt that there must be something in it. Yuko's death was too "simple", and Eguchi's "confession" was too "honest". Xi Muzi put himself in this incident to consider.If I were Yuko, I would be more "lingering" to Eguchi, and I would never just die because I would be too "sorry" for the other party's "love" for me. The same is true for Eguchi, who is an excellent section chief of a first-class company.How could he just walk away? !

Xi Muzi walked towards Seijo Academy, where Eguchi's home was located. Surrounded by high walls, the house in Eguchi covers an area of ​​about 7,005 square meters, with a building of about 3,000 square meters. It is very beautiful and luxurious. Xi Muzi first inquired about the situation of Eguchi's family nearby. Since this incident was reported in N Weekly, the owners and clerks of the nearby tobacco shops, taverns, fruit shops, etc. did not hide anything, and told Xi Muzi everything they knew. Among them, what the owner of the tavern said caught Xi Muzi's attention the most:

"Eguchi has been in trouble since he resigned from the company!" He said to Xi Muzi, "he is also a section chief! He is also a figure in the company. After that, he hardly goes out every day. In the past, he often bought imported high-end products. Wine. But now? It's pathetic." "and after?" "Last night, I went to his house to deliver the wine he asked for. I thought he must be very worried, but that's not the case at all!" "You're still in good spirits?" "That's right. I was waiting in the living room of his home, and I heard lively voices. I didn't know what was going on, so I took a peek inside. It turned out that there was a At the reception, his wife happily served as the waiter, and Mr. Eguchi entertained the guests with a smile. I also don’t know what’s wrong with this family?”

"What reception?" "I don't know either. Then I saw the maid of Eguchi's house. We knew each other very well, so I asked her what she was doing today. When I heard that, I was surprised..." "why?" "It turned out that the Central Iron and Steel Company acquired a steel company in the United States. It's amazing! The company has a new name: what is it called 'New Central Iron and Steel Company'. The president is an American, and the vice president is Japanese. People, it seems to be in the nature of supervision. The vice president is Mr. Eguchi! And the whole family will move to the United States in a week. That's why we held a celebration party that day!"

... "It's said that she lost her job, but isn't she making a fortune again? When I asked what was going on, the maid waved her hands repeatedly and dared not say anything." ——Sure enough, very suspicious! Xi Muzi decided to investigate.
