Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Resentment

Saturday, May 24, 1980 - Akio Nishina received his wages from the Noborito factory for the last time.No, maybe it won't necessarily be the last time, but it's unlikely that he will come to work in this factory again for at least 10 or 15 years.From next month, he will be transferred to the sales department of the Tokyo head office. His current salary situation is like this - the basic salary is 110,940 yen, the post allowance is 99,700 yen, there is also a 4,000 yen hard work allowance for the section chief and a home exhibition allowance, and finally 30,300 yen for overtime pay.Overtime pay is compensation for overtime work.Therefore, the amount of money varies slightly from month to month.But as long as you work in the factory, you can always expect to get this money every month. In total, the book income is 254,680 yen.

After deducting health insurance premiums, pensions, income tax, resident tax and trade union dues and other expenses of 49,014 yen, his actual income is 205,666 yen.Every month, 153,040 yen is deducted from his salary to repay the mutual aid loan.Therefore, the actual amount he received has always been 190,323 yen. On May 26, the third day of salary payment, he had to allocate 51,338 yen to the accounts of Housing Finance Corporation and Yokohama Mutual Bank to repay the loan.I have less than 139,000 yen left on hand. There are two older children in the family, one is in the third grade of junior high school and the other is in the first grade of junior high school.With less than 140,000 yen, the life of Wei Tuan's family of four is far more difficult than originally imagined.It goes without saying that water, electricity, and gas are saved, but also the purchase of clothes and the cost of non-staple food should be reduced.In order to save transportation costs and the cost of eating in restaurants, even the family had to give up the joy of going out for fun on the rest days.As a result, the slightly joyful parts of life were all cut off with a single knife.Not to mention, self-restrictions such as thrift and patience, like obsessive thoughts, always oppress the nerves constantly.

Nishina Akio once thought that after getting used to this kind of life in the future, he would gradually get used to it.But it has recently been discovered that this idea is completely wrong.But at the beginning, I felt that I finally bought my own house, that I was inspired mentally, and I could endure everything.But before I knew it, the daily unfilled dissatisfaction accumulated day by day, and the family members gradually became reticent, depressed, and even noisy at every turn, and their nerves began to lose their elasticity. From the perspective of children's education, this is undoubtedly a serious problem.Is it really a good thing to be desperate to buy a home?Besides, it would be fine if the loan could be repaid smoothly, but now even the repayment itself is becoming more and more uncertain.

Nishina Akio was dressed in overalls with a white shirt underneath.He staggered to the front of his house and stepped up the steps, his steps getting heavier. Even though it was Saturday, he didn't come back after working overtime.So, it's past 7 o'clock.It was pitch black all around, and the concrete retaining walls supporting the terraced houses stood in neat rows, pale in the streetlights. Only in front of the neighbors Sada's house and Nishina's house, the area about 8 meters wide was plunged into darkness, as if the front teeth had been lost.After the landslide, the temporary wooden frame on top has been blackened by the erosion of rainwater and mud, like rotten wood.It's been almost a month and a half since then.

Just the night before.Sada came to Nishina's house and said that the project was finally raised, the restoration project was about to start, and the construction department was currently asking the construction department to propose a budget. "I can't always cause trouble for you. I will pay for the repair first, but in the end I will have to pay for it from the Tama General Industry Company. They must not be allowed to escape responsibility." Sada has always insisted that the cause of the garage collapse was the result of cutting corners during the construction of the concrete retaining wall.The look on his face showed that he was still stubborn, so he added that.

Although it is difficult to investigate which party is responsible, it seems that repairs are indeed about to start.Nishina and Seiko looked at each other, feeling relieved. "However, even if the retaining wall is restored to its original state, if my family's finances collapse..." Nishina felt that everything was very pessimistic. In order to cheer himself up, he straightened his back and pushed open the door. "I am back." However, Seiko was still just in the kitchen, and said listlessly: "Well, I'm back." Due to saving electricity as much as possible, the gate and corridor were dark, and only the place where Seiko stayed was lit.

"I bought a new house. The house should have been bright, but unexpectedly it became dim..." Akio Nishina lowered his arms again and walked through the corridor.The second floor is very quiet, and the children may be bored in their rooms. While Seiko was cooking dinner, Nishina took off his shirt and hung it in the dining room, took out his salary bag from his underwear pocket, and walked into the kitchen. "Here you are..." he said, putting the salary bag on the table. Holding the spoon in his hand, Zhengzi turned around and asked, "I won't even be able to get these next month, right?" After speaking, he sighed again.

"Is there no overtime allowance at all?" "Well... when we arrived at the head office, the time became even more irregular. Overtime allowances are stipulated by the trade union. However, 95% of the union members are in the factory. Therefore, the sales staff in the head office do not receive overtime allowances. It is said that the reason is that It's hard to calculate overtime hours..." "The chief's allowance is gone, right?" Transferring to the sales department of the head office by name is indeed a promotion, but the head office does not have a section chief, so I had to give up the title of technical section chief of the Public Works Department and become an ordinary employee. In this way, 4,000 yen shares The long-term allowance will naturally cease to exist.

"However, a regional allowance of 7,500 yen will be given!" "Even so, there is still a loss of more than 30,000 yen. Besides, going to the head office will cost more." Seiko frowned and put the plate on the table. "When you work in a factory, you can just wear work clothes and a sweater. When you go to work in the head office, you have to wear a suit and leather shoes, right?" Needless to say about clothing, what Akio Nishina is worried about is that once he goes to work in Tokyo, all expenses will increase.The sales department has nothing to do with professional technology, but must be proficient in the work of sales personnel.The direct customers of the Yakori Weaving Company are the agricultural science and technology industry, and the communication with the person in charge of these customers and the business personnel of the wholesaler will naturally increase.Although you can apply for reimbursement from the company for the transportation expenses to work, you can't bring a lunch box every day.

Can real income decrease and expenditure increase, can it be maintained? …But, today, PeopleSoft did not present these self-evident concerns because there was one worse thing he had to say. "Today, the deputy chief of the managerial department revealed some news..." He stirred the soup with chopsticks, and opened his mouth in a dull voice. He didn't want to say this at first, but he wanted to tell Zhengzi now so that she could There is a mental preparation. "The bonus this time may be reduced to one to one and a half months' salary." Zhengzi was stunned immediately, and asked with staring eyes: "What's going on?...Didn't you say recently that the summer bonus might be 2.8 months?..."

"There was indeed such a saying for a while, but a customer's clothing manufacturer closed down, and our company also suffered a loss of nearly 100 million yen. This 100 million yen is equivalent to half of our company's annual net profit." "..." Zhengzi's eyes widened in shock, and he had nothing to say. "Although there was a slight improvement in the spring of 1978, it was only a slight improvement after all. This time the impact may not be small. These old people who are engaged in finance and accounting have experienced ups and downs in the past, and they can always be sure about the big break. So He said that this summer’s bonus is only worth one month or one and a half months’ salary, and if it’s not correct, it may be in name only and frozen into the company’s internal deposits..." Since the oil crisis, until 1977 and 1978, the bonus has been based on the amount of one month's salary for a long time.Therefore, the elderly deputy chief of the managerial department began to discuss with a troubled face and half discouraged.The PeopleSoft loan was based on a bonus equivalent to two and a half months' salary, so for him it was more serious than a disappointment. "What should I do, in this way..." Zhengzi's voice was dry. "There might be trouble in July." Nishina Akio tried to answer calmly.The arrow company issued the summer bonus on July 10, and the repayment of the housing loan with the bonus was scheduled to be paid on July 26. "If it's one and a half months' wages, it's about 250,000, and the shortfall has to be withdrawn." "Deposit?...It's only less than 200,000..." "Then, I have to borrow the company's mutual aid fund. You can borrow 200,000 yen if you want more." "But, you have to pay it back next month... right?" The husband and wife were speechless for a while, and looked at each other. The amount to repay the loan when the bonus is issued is 315,566 yen. With the bonus and savings received, although the loan can be repaid, the deposit has been withdrawn. How should I live in the future?Starting in June, income will be reduced by 30,000 yen.And Nishina Akio must not spend only 500 yen a day in pocket money like he did in the workshop.Even if it’s just for working days, if you spend 1,000 yen a day, you will spend about 10,000 yen more a month, which adds up to an extra 40,000 yen. In the past, I have tried my best and made it through careful planning.Even if you plan to save more, there is a limit. "Why don't I beg my father in Nagano Prefecture..." Seiko's eyes revealed this meaning.But PeopleSoft didn't want to do that.At first, he had lent 2 million yen to his father.Later, the moving expenses and the money to buy furniture were more than expected, and the result was a fork of 100,000 yen. It's always okay if the father is still working.But as early as 1972, he resigned from the Matsumoto Agricultural Machinery Factory. Although he later worked as a consultant for a contracting company, he also quit this job in March this year.He can no longer ask his parents, who live on pensions and pensions, to borrow money.Seiko's parents have passed away.Although Nishina and Seiko had several brothers and sisters, they were all salarymen, and it was impossible to expect to borrow a considerable amount of money from them. "This time the client went bankrupt, if it only suffered a loss, it's nothing, but..." PeopleSoft picked up the chopsticks with difficulty. "If this matter affects all aspects, and the company's operations will not recover from it..." His original intention of saying this was to imagine the most serious situation and have a mental preparation, but as soon as he said the words, he felt that the bleak prospect that was coming, like a sharp knife, pierced his chest in an instant .At present, many small and medium-sized textile companies have been forced into difficulties due to factory closures and bankruptcy—no, his weak character of always being pessimistic about the future is also a bad habit formed after carrying the heavy burden of housing loans? ... "If bonuses are delayed and wages are no longer increased, and this situation continues in the future, we may have to make up our minds..." "Determination?..." Zhengzi looked confused. "So, let's say sell this house to pay off the home loan..." "No! I don't agree!..." Nishina Akio was startled when he heard the sudden burst of screaming.Seiko turned pale, shook her head vigorously two or three times, and tears flowed from her eyes in the blink of an eye. "Sell this house!... I firmly oppose it. If so, why should we suffer so much?" "However, when it is really impossible to repay the debt, there is only one way." Nishina Akio said pessimistically. "Stop talking about discouragement, it's only been a year." "So, there are still 24 years. Moreover, the price of goods will rise every year in the future, and the cost of children's education will become higher and higher. Although a long salary has been estimated when deciding on a housing loan, the company has no hope of recovering at present. If it looks like this..." "Bastard, then I'll go out to work!..." Zhengzi wiped away tears with his fingers, and said solemnly, "I do odd jobs, maybe I can make up for the reduced part of your salary!... That's the only way to do it. I was originally Shouldn't count on you." "However, if you're not at home, the children will be even more dissatisfied..." After moving to this house, the whole family rarely spends time together, let alone shopping in department stores.Most of the children restrained themselves when they saw what they wanted to buy, and there must be a backlog of dissatisfaction that cannot be filled.However, Zhengzi always used cheap food materials, made snacks for them, and asked them to help clean up the small vegetable field behind the house, which also to a certain extent distracted their dissatisfaction.However, if Nishina's return home time is uncertain sooner or later, and Seiko goes out to work again, wouldn't the atmosphere of the whole family become more indifferent? ... The older the kids are, the harder it is to deal with... "If it is explained clearly that it is for the repayment of the housing loan, they will understand. Each of them has their own room. From this point alone, it is already a luxury. They should understand." Nishina Akio didn't say any more. After swallowing the rest of the meal, he put down his chopsticks and stood up from the chair. He turned on the light in the living room, sat cross-legged in front of the low table, feeling very disturbed. It cost everything to buy this house, but life has lost its luster and fun, and the opportunity for family reunion and fun together, which is the most important family atmosphere, has been completely destroyed.He was deeply remorseful and disturbed.He desperately told himself that he hoped not to lose his "family" further, but Zhengzi tried every means to keep this "house". "I shouldn't have counted on you!..." Seiko's words pierced Nishina Akio's heart like a thorn.It sounded like the stinging tone in her words seemed to accuse him of being worthless. "It's just a joke. Didn't I endure it desperately and quit marriage?" He wanted to smoke so badly that he took out the chewing gum from his suit pocket, but peeled off half of the wrapper and threw it away. He had nothing to do, so he picked up the evening newspaper on the corner of the low table, and opened the fourth page. The continuous reports on the tragic death of Section Chief Toha came into view immediately.Setsuko Yamato, who works at the Noborito factory, lives in the Keihin apartment where the body of Eizo Tonami, head of the Urban Development Section, was found tragically dead. The headline was "Suspicious Motorcycle Sightings," and the report took up only a small, inconspicuous section. Regarding the discovery of the tragic death of Section Chief Toha, the Kawasaki Police Department was nearby and continued to visit and investigate. A staff member who lived in the same apartment said that at around 7:40 on the afternoon of the incident, an unusual car The scooter drove out from the semi-underground parking lot of the Keihin Apartment and headed towards the county road.The witness drove his own car back and was about to drive into the parking lot of the apartment when he encountered a motorcycle driving out at high speed from inside.According to his impression when he met it by chance, this is a small motorcycle commonly known as Qingqi, about 50CC.It seems to be a young man riding on it, but because of the heavy rain, it can't be distinguished clearly. According to the results of the Kawasaki Police Department's investigation of the residents in the Keihin Apartment, no person who owned a scooter was found, and no one had ever visited such a house. The investigation will continue in the future to determine the relationship between this person and the case.The content of the report is roughly the same. On the 22nd when the incident occurred, the Keihin area has been raining heavily since the evening.When it rained, Akio Nishina was worried, fearing that the yard would collapse.Moreover, he had to pay attention to Zhengzi, not to become nervous because of excessive anxiety. Also because of the rain, Setsuko Yamato once said that she was always worried about water leaks on the walls.It is said that the reason for the water leakage in her house is because the drainpipe has cracks, and it always feels that it leaks very badly when it rains. Ever since Setsuko Yamato started talking about buying an apartment, he had been listening to her talk about housing.She managed to buy a three-bedroom, one-living room at the Keihin Apartment, but she was troubled by water leaks and noise, and she often cried and sighed recently.The mother's health is worrying again.Nishina Akio felt that she was somewhat similar to his own situation, so he felt a bit cold, so he was very sympathetic. "There are only women in the family, so you must be extra worried..." The scene of that night when the rain was like numbness appeared in front of his eyes again.Akio Nishina raised his face, trying to relieve his depression, reached out and turned on the TV. A close-up of a man flashed on the screen of the TV, and he was smoking a cigarette with endless aftertaste.PeopleSoft quickly changed the channel. "The people in their company said that the manager was still there just now, and he just went out to discuss the issue of land leveling, and he may not come back to the company today. He must have pretended to be absent. When he hung up from the factory, he said he was meeting customers." Setsuko Yamato put down her bag for work, sat on the sofa, stared at Tokuree lying in the small room, her words were full of anger and exhaustion.In the past, she always tried not to talk about these things so as not to worry her mother, but this time she could no longer hide it, and this problem was beyond the reach of Setsuko alone.Although she often discusses with the chief of PeopleSoft, the only person who can talk about it in detail is still her mother who spends time with her day and night. "Except for the manager, is there no other staff who can do things?" Tokueda crawled out of the quilt and turned his face to Setsuko Yamato. "I once talked with a young employee named Hotta. In the end, he said to discuss it with the manager, but the result was delayed again and again. If this continues, it will soon be the rainy season..." "Yeah, it's best to settle the matter before the rainy season comes!..." Setsuko Yamato's gaze turned to the kitchen again, and Tokuree looked up at the ceiling, and what caught their eyes was the living room above the kitchen up to 12 square meters. The entire wall was gray, and it was once full of leaking "" map". Now that the wall has been renovated, it seems that nothing has happened to it, rather it is cleaner than before.The repair work took only two days.The administrator called the repairman who often came to work here.First the masons peeled off the leaking wallpaper, and then applied a layer of waterproof grout to the walls.The painter then applies another coat of waterproof paint.The person in charge of pasting the wallpaper pastes another layer of the same wallpaper as the original one.As a result, the traces of water leakage disappeared without a trace.Its simplicity makes people think that it is like performing an operation on a person suffering from advanced cancer. The abdominal cavity is opened, only the superficial affected part is removed, and then sutured.Just like the cancer cells that are spreading and multiplying inside will soon erode the whole body, that miserable and unsightly map will surely ooze out of the surface of the new wallpaper. It's just a matter of time.The administrator also revealed: "Although emergency measures have been taken, water will still seep out within three months." Setsuko Yamato determined that the Tama General Industry Company knew this defect and forced the apartment to be sold to the land.After discovering the leak, on Monday, May 12th, Setsuko immediately approached Tama Sogyo Company.Since Nakata, the staff member in charge of this matter, was suffering from hepatitis, she asked to meet Jingxian.But Cangshi never showed up.A young employee who didn't know the details repeatedly explained that the company didn't know about the water leak at all, but also hinted that it could pay 300,000 or 500,000 for the damage. Later, Setsuko Yamato visited the Tama General Industry Company many times after get off work.Called from the workshop to know that Cangshi was in the company, but when he hurried to go, he always said that Cangshi had already gone out just one step away.Once, Setsuko called Cangishi with a pseudonym and said sternly: "I don't need money. For me, housing is my property. My mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she has been bedridden recently." We can’t live in that kind of defective apartment, please buy it back again. You sold it to me with the defect hidden, so of course you should buy it back.” Cangshi was calm all the time, but he didn't give any definite answer.In the end, he said that he had other things to do today, and he couldn't spare time for the time being. He would find a chance to meet and talk about it in detail later. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry as if he was running away. Setsuko Yamato made the same request to Hota. "We moved in on March 2, and only lived in it for two and a half months, and the walls have been restored. Please take it back at the original price." "After the house is sold, it will be taken back at the original price. There has never been such a precedent in the past!..." Hotta tilted his head and said with a serious expression. "Then, it's fine to deduct the rent for the period of residence." Hotta tilted his head again, indicating that he would discuss it with the manager again. "Nishina said it would be impossible for the Tama General Industry Company to take it back. The real estate company must be very happy to have such a defective apartment out of its hands skillfully! ... They will never take it so easily again. Carry an old woman on her back..." "Old woman?" "As the saying goes, get rid of an ugly woman, this is it!..." Shanto Setsuko suddenly gave up on herself, her tone full of self-deprecating attitude. "Defective apartments that can't be repaired, or ones that are cluttered and in disrepair, can't be remodeled like your own private home, so you have to sell it to someone else, sell it smartly, and replace it. Take advantage of it and sell it, Buyers are afraid that they won’t be able to sell it after making a public announcement, so many people keep silent and sell it back and forth like this, and the person who ends up with this ugly woman on his back has no choice but to consider himself unlucky..." That time, room 607 upstairs was too noisy. When she went to protest, the students laughed at Setsuko Yamato and said, "Who am I? I'm an old woman!..." "It's really, the old woman has betrayed an ugly woman!..." The words were so ugly that she didn't say it. Since then, the loud noise of playing records and playing mahjong has continued. In the past ten days, it seems that the time of noise has decreased and the degree of disturbance seems to have eased.However, this may be an illusion caused by the fact that their minds are full of thoughts about water leakage. Hibino and his accomplices in Room 607 once made trouble with Setsuko Yamato and insulted her in the elevator. Since then, Setsuko has always been careful when walking in the corridor, and will report immediately if similar situations happen again. The police, however, never came across Hibino's group again. The Tama General Industry Company may even know the affairs of the residents upstairs very clearly.It is precisely because of these circumstances that Duofai General Industry bargained down the price and forced her to buy a cheap house, right?Thinking of this, Setsuko Yamato felt that it was certain. In Jieyu's mind, manager Cangshi's energetic expression appeared.When she went to Tama General Industry Company to formally sign the contract, he didn't even take a picture of her face.When he heard the other staff yelling and turned his face away, Setsuko Yamato watched for a long time from the gap in the screen.The big face with regular features and sharp outlines was tanned by the sun.Strongly built, wearing a nice striped suit.He is full of energy, full of self-confidence, and tramples on the weak without hesitation... Setsuko Yamato let out a big mouthful of sulking lightly, as if she wanted to spray all the resentment and anger in her heart on his demeanor. "I think he came back late from the Tama General Industry Company today, so he cooked ready-made meals." Dezhi cast a comforting glance at his daughter.Recently, Tokueda often stays in bed even during the day, so today, she seems to be very concerned about her daughter, so Setsuko Yamato muster up her spirits for the time being, stand up and walk to the kitchen. Just after lighting the gas stove, the doorbell rang, and Setsuko Yamato walked to the door with tired steps. "who's that." "We are from the Kawasaki Police Department." "..." Setsuko Yamato felt puzzled for a while. "About the incident that happened a few days ago, I would like to know..." "It's that thing again!..." Setsuko Yamato said to herself, and opened the door without taking off the safety chain. There were two men in suits standing outside the door, about 30 years old. The man in front showed his police work card. "I'm really sorry to come to visit you when you are busy at night." The policeman looked sincere and lowered his head slightly.Shanto Setsuko had no choice but to take off the safety chain and let the two of them enter the door. Since the discovery of Mr. Tohako's body, the police have gone to the apartment's residents and questioned them twice. "Are you still asking?" "No, there is something today, I would like to ask Ms. Shantou..." "Me? . . . But I said it all last time. I'm not quite..." The policemen nodded, expressing their knowledge of the situation, and then changed their tone and asked, "Ms. Shantou bought this apartment from the Tama General Industry Company, right?" "yes." "Then, you should know Manager Kuraishi of Tama Corporation?" "I met once, but..." "That's how it is," the policeman seemed to change his method of questioning again, "On the night of May 22, when Section Chief Toha died, did Manager Kuraishi make an appointment to visit your house?" "My house? Is this here?..." Setsuko Yamato looked at the two policemen with a look of confusion and nodded. "Did manager Cangshi say that?" "Ah, yes..." Setsuko Yamato tilted her head suspiciously, expressing her confusion.But there was a certain tension in her heart. "Anyway, please come in first." He let the policeman into the living room, pointed to Dezhi in the small room and said, "It's my mother, she is resting, I'm sorry." After the three sat down on the sofa, the policeman spoke first: "On the evening of the 22nd, did Manager Cangshi call you and say he was coming here, or did he actually come here?" Setsuko Yamato took a breath and shook her head. "No. First of all, I don't understand why Manager Cangshi came to my house." "Oh, that's what happened. He said he wanted to talk about this apartment. Because of the water leaks in the house, you once gave them your opinion. Manager Cangshi said that he always wanted to have a good talk with you, but he was busy with other things He was so busy that he never took the time. That day he planned to go to Hiratsuka to see the land, but because the weather turned bad in the evening, he didn't go. So after a while, he suddenly wanted to see you." "What time is it?" Yamato Setsuko asked puzzled. "It is said that at 6 o'clock in the evening, he drove his own car, left the Tama General Industry Company, and arrived here around 6:5." The police said such an accurate time, it seems that Cangshi has already been questioned by the police.Although the death of Section Chief Toha has not yet been determined whether it was an accidental death or a homicide, Kuraishi may have been suspected for some reason, and he is searching for circumstantial evidence.That's why he said that he visited Setsuko Yamato that night. "How strange! ... I don't know at all. Did Mr. Kuraishi say he saw me?" "No, it's not like that. He said that you might have gone home at 6 o'clock, so he came directly. Although I don't know your phone number, but because this house used to belong to my company, so remember the room number and ring the doorbell time, about 6:7 to 10, I pressed it four or five times, and it seemed that no one was there at that time, so I had to change my mind and leave.” "What did Mr. Cangishi do afterwards?" "It is said that he went straight back to Tsurumi's own home." The time of Eizo Toami's death seems to be between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the 22nd. It seems that Kuraishi's counter-evidence has not been confirmed yet. "Between 6:7 and 10, is there no one in your house?" The policeman glanced at Dezhi. "I hadn't come back then," Yamato Setsuko replied, "I usually leave the factory around 5:30, but that day..." "Did you go somewhere else?" "Yes. For the defect of the apartment, I went to discuss it with my boss, Chief Nishina. I often discuss with him when I have something to do." "In the factory?" "No!... On the 22nd, the section chief said that he would not finish work until about 6 o'clock. I waited for him, and then we left the factory together. The conversation was in the cafe next to the boarding station... about After an hour, we took the Nambu Line together again. Mr. Nishina changed trains at Mizoguchi Station on the Musashino Line. Later, I came back alone.” "So, when will you be home..." "It might be near eight o'clock." "Did your mother go out during that time?" When Setsuko Yamato was speaking, Tokuji had already lifted the quilt, came out with clothes on and said, "No, I've been in the room all the time." Tokuzhi replied simply, "I've been lying like this all the time. Even if I'm not lying down, my legs It's not easy to work, so you can't go out immediately when the doorbell rings. It's not good to fall in a hurry, so when my child says that I'm at home alone, I can ignore it..." "My mother is alone at home, and I always feel a little worried." Setsuko Yamato added, especially since being insulted by Hibino, Setsuko asked Tokueda to stay at home alone, pretending that there was no one at home.Setsuko discussed with her mother how to press the doorbell. "It turned out to be so. Then, your mother was at home on the night of the 22nd. Do you remember whether anyone rang the doorbell between 6:7 and 10?" The two policemen looked at Mrs. Tokueda seriously, and Setsuko Yamato stared at her mother with a unique, sharp gaze. "It was already four days ago..." Tokuji frowned in confusion. After a while, she said again: "I can't remember now..." "I really can't think of Manager Cangishi coming to my house suddenly." Setsuko Yamato said logically. "Originally, the water leak happened after May 10. Since then, I have been to the Tama General Industry Company many times. The manager always claimed that he was not there, and let the young staff deal with me... The manager said that he was against me. Just talking about it, I don't believe that he would have such sincerity?...Moreover, if Mr. Cangishi came to see me at 6 o'clock and thought that I was not at home and went home, then he wouldn't be here before 8 o'clock. Might come here again! . . . " Setsuko Yamato looked into the distance casually, whispering strangely and slowly. "Come here again before 8 o'clock? What's going on here?" The police immediately grabbed the conversation and asked. "Before 8 o'clock, when I came back here, I saw Mr. Cangishi at the door of the apartment." The two policemen quickly exchanged glances and asked, "What's going on?" "As soon as I got to the door, I saw a man running from the semi-underground parking lot next to him, and ran towards the car parked on the side of the road. It was raining heavily at the time, but he didn't hold an umbrella... In addition, There is still a vacant space in the parking lot in front of the door. I thought to myself, why don’t I park the car closer in this weather? While thinking this way, I glanced at his face. Manager Stone." "Do you see that it must be Mr. Cangshi?" The two policemen confirmed carefully. "I saw it when I passed by. I think it's probably true. But he didn't seem to notice me at all. Anyway, he doesn't know me very well." The policeman exchanged glances again.When the eyes turned to Setsuko Yamato again, dissatisfaction and some doubts appeared on her face, complaining that she had such a serious situation, why didn't she say it earlier. Setsuko Yamato understood this, and said with prevarication: "I completely forgot, because I don't think this matter has any direct relationship with Mr. Kuraishi." Whether Hu Bo's death was a homicide or an accidental death, there has been no definite conclusion.If it was a homicide, then Cangishi Ryohei would be even more suspicious.Since the 25th, Kuraishi has been called to the Kawasaki Police Station almost every day, and has been questioned endlessly by Yuyuki, the criminal section chief, and Kobayashi, the section chief. However, he categorically denies any crime.Regarding the counter-evidence on the night of May 25, he just repeated his original statement repeatedly. At 6 o'clock, he drove away from the company alone.He parked his car in the parking lot in the front yard of Jingbin Apartment, and rang the doorbell four or five times in front of Room 507.Since no one answered, he assumed no one was in the house, got back in the car, and went straight home.At that time, it was raining heavily and the road was seriously blocked. When I returned to Tsurumi's home, it was already 7:15.Whether in the Keihin apartment or on the way, he didn't meet anyone. As for Setsuko Yamato, who saw his own testimony in the front yard of the apartment before 8:00 p.m. on the same night, he categorically denied it and said: "Bastard, there is no such thing at all!... After I got home at 7:15 , I never went out again. My family members can testify to this. It is impossible to say that I went to Keihin Apartment again. Ms. Shantou must have admitted the wrong person." In addition, when he was asked about his motives for Eizo Toha, Kuraishi opened up his posture and said proudly: "I really feel helpless about the problems raised by Section Chief Toha. If I do as required, I will have to lose money. But , if the construction is postponed indefinitely, then we will be in even more trouble in terms of operation. We wanted to try to improve the environment on the limited land and provide it to people who are eager to get houses at a relatively low price. But the local Residents think that it has nothing to do with them and hope that the status quo will be maintained there. Not only does the city government not help, but it pushes all the things that the country and autonomous groups should do to the land developers. Therefore, the price of land keeps increasing. I am the center, and Section Chief Toha is a typical representative. I am so angry with him that I have nothing to vent....But, I definitely did not kill him!..."
