Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire

one One day a week after the meeting with Oikawa Maki, Kisaki was called by Tonooka. "You go to do something." With a strange expression, Kisaki was nervously waiting for the next sentence, when he saw Toanoka put a thick envelope on the table. "Put this in the automatic storage locker in Shimbashi, then take the key and go to Shinto Bookstore in Ginza 6-chome. The bookstore faces the left side of the bottom shelf of F. There is a book by Ichiro Suzuki called "Sunday's Bookstore" Nap." "Sunday Nap by Ichiro Suzuki?" How could there be such a book there?incomprehensible.

"Yes. There is only one book. You can see it at a glance. You put the key in the envelope and put it between the books." "Clip the key in the book?" "Yes. However, what I really want you to do is still to come. After you put the key in the book, someone will come to take the key, or buy the book "Sunday Nap" with the key in it. You The thing to do is figure out who that person is." What an inexplicable order.But from Tonooka's expression, Kisaki deduced that this order contained very important content. "About that person, there is a general speculation at present. You can use this opportunity to confirm. Because you are the latest person to join the company. No one knows you, so I leave it to you. You have to work hard. Be careful not to let the other party Spot your 'squatting pit' or stalk."

After Tonooka gave the order, he handed the heavy envelope to Kisaki.With this feeling, he knew it was a "banknote".It seems that there is at least 300,000 yen in it, so it probably won't be a "newspaper" this time. As instructed, Kisaki put the envelope in the Shinbashi automatic locker, took out the key, and went to Shinto Bookstore.This bookstore is one of the best-selling bookstores. Most of the customers are "Ginza Boys", and the store is very lively. The bookshelves of this bookstore are arranged in alphabetical order according to the Roman alphabet. The F bookshelf is inside the bookstore, and most of the items displayed on it are second-rate literary works that cannot be sold.

"Sunday Nap" was indeed placed in the place that Tonooka said.Since this bookshelf is located at the back of the bookstore, it is in stark contrast to the shelves of new books and bestsellers facing the street, and it is quiet here. Kisaki looked around, but no one seemed to be paying attention to him.Kisaki calmly removed "Sunday Nap" from the shelf, sandwiched the envelope with the key between the books, and put the book back in its place. The cut of the book is obviously open, but no flaws can be seen from the back of the book. He stands at a distance, pretends to be a customer, and stares at "Sunday Nap" from a distance.Only then did Kisaki discover a problem. Tonooka asked Kisaki to complete the task on the grounds that no one knew him, but the other party must have been eyeing "Sunday Nap" before Kisaki appeared.

The unsalable works of unknown authors in the secluded parts of bookstores are hardly bought. I don't know whether it was neglected by the bookstore, or it was not taken seriously by the store. This book that has not been returned to the publishing house is sleeping in the dust in the corner of the bookshelf. Kisaki who took down such a book must have been stared at by the other party at this moment. up. No matter how long you wait, it won't come—Kisaki was about to leave the bookstore in disappointment when he noticed a person approaching the F bookshelf.This is a young man of seventeen or eighteen, wearing a pair of jeans.Under Kisaki's nervous gaze, the young man stretched out his hand without hesitation, took out "Sunday Nap", then went to the cashier to pay and took the book away.

As the young man walked towards the cash register, he took out the envelope containing the key from among the books, which could not escape Kisaki's staring eyes. ——I didn't expect him to appear so easily. The young man walked straight to Shimbashi with ease, seemingly unaware of Misaki's stalking, no, maybe he didn't pay attention to the stalking at all, he walked to the automatic locker where Misaki kept the envelope, opened the door and reached inside After touching it, he closed the door of the automatic locker again and walked towards the station. When the young man bought a ticket at the ticket vending machine and was about to climb the steps leading to the platform, Kisaki stopped him.

"Wait a minute." "Did you call me?" The young man looked at Kisaki in surprise, not pretending.But today's young people are very good at it and cannot be taken lightly. "Yes, it's you. Did you just buy a copy of "Sunday's Nap" at Shinto Bookstore?" "Ah, so it was you. I put it in the automatic locker as you ordered." The young man said with a friendly smile. "Is it in? What is it in?" Although it was the young man whom Kisaki called out, he was puzzled by the young man's inexplicable words. "What are you asking? Let me buy the book "Sunday Nap" and put it in the automatic locker that can be opened by the key in the book. Isn't this guest you?"

Although he didn't quite understand what the young man said, Kisaki noticed that the young man was not holding the book "Sunday Nap" in his hand. "I didn't ask you to do it. Who told you to buy that book?" "I don't know, it was entrusted by phone, and I was given the travel fee and book money." "The more I talk, the more I don't understand. What is the mission fee?" "I work as a errand, part-time job-study, I do whatever I am asked to do, shopping, helping move, mowing the lawn, cheerleading for amateur baseball, etc. This time the book buying is also entrusted by someone. The guest He said it was a very pornographic book, and he was embarrassed to buy it. He put the key of the Xinqiao automatic locker in the book and asked me to buy it for him and put the book in the automatic locker. But it was not It looks like a dirty book."

"So, where did you leave the key to the automatic locker!?" "Of course. Otherwise, how would the guest take out the book?" "Is there an envelope in the cabinet?" "Yes. But the customer said not to touch the envelope, but why do you ask these? Who are you?" Kisaki dropped the suspicious young man and ran towards the automatic cabinet.When I came to the automatic locker and opened it, "Sunday Nap" was put there mockingly.Of course, the envelope Kisaki put there has long since disappeared. —was tricked. Kisaki bit his lip remorsefully, and stood there blankly.However, the other party is too clever.Using his new business as a servant, he bought the book with the key in it and opened the automatic locker. The purpose of the "enemy" is not the book, but the key to the automatic locker.The enemy has fully expected that the book "Sunday Nap" will be watched.The watchers focused their attention on the servant.Anyone could have imagined that the servant who opened the cabinet would take the envelope, and that the envelope containing the money could not be left in the open cabinet.This is a puzzling move.

If the messenger takes the envelope from there immediately after opening the automatic locker, there will be no chance for a third party to take advantage of it during this period, and when the watchman finds that the messenger is returning as a bait, the other party has already fled. Kisaki stood in front of the automatic locker in a daze. "Hey, isn't this cabinet empty?" someone came to ask. Kisaki just woke up like a dream: "Please use it." "Ah, here's another book." "Give it to you." He left the bewildered partner and turned to leave.At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, and quickly ran to the station.He ran up the steps leading to the platform like a triple jump, but after such a long time, the young man was no longer seen on the platform of the station.

Kisaki complained secretly, and forgot to ask the young man who was the person who asked him to buy the book "Sunday Nap". Although he already said that he didn't know who it was, he probably knew whether the person was a man or a woman and his accent. Kisaki made a mistake in his work, and when he was at a loss, a new mistake appeared. Reluctantly, Kisaki returned to the company, but he had no face to see Tenoka, and he reported to Tenoka tremblingly.However, Mioka didn't get angry, and just paid a few words in a contemptuous tone: "The enemy is too cunning. Cough, it may be a bit reluctant for you to do this. Well, you have worked hard too." two Kisaki was so annoyed by being teased by an unknown opponent, he didn't know why Tonooka sent the banknotes to the automatic locker and put the key in the book "Sunday Nap" at the Fuji Bookstore.This thing is very strange.Regardless of this, this incident did reduce Kisaki's reputation in the middle management. Tonooka ordered Kisaki to do this, except that Kisaki is a newcomer to the company and not easy to be recognized, and he also expected him to find out the identity of the other party.However, he completely betrayed Diangang's trust. Not only was the banknote taken away, but he also failed to catch a trace of clues.There was a look of contempt in Mioka's expression, "It's a waste to have so much money taken away by someone." ——In any case, the "culprit" must be found. Kisaki felt his face burning.But where to start?The only young man who worked as an errand who had any contact with the prisoner had already joined the vast crowd of 10 million people in Tokyo.The prisoner must have walked into the bookstore by accident, and in a corner of the inconspicuous bookshelf, he chose a work by an unsalable author with only one copy. , it may be bought away. The writer "Suzuki Ichiro" is a very common name.I tried to check the telephone directory in Tokyo, and there were 160 people named Ichiro Suzuki.But Kizaki suddenly thought that the prisoner might have something to do with Suzuki Ichiro. Kisaki called Shindo Bookstore and asked for the address of the writer Ichiro Suzuki, and after a while the other party replied that it was not in the list.The so-called roster may be a who's who.There is no record on it, which probably shows that Suzuki Ichiro is an unknown writer.Kizaki asked the publisher of the book "Sunday Nap" by Ichiro Suzuki. Do you have this book? ——I didn’t know the books on the shelf in my bookstore, and waited for a while before the other party told the name of Kizaki Publishing House, which was a publishing house that people had never heard of. Kisaki finally found out the address of "Ichiro Suzuki" from the publishing house, and then asked about the nearest station. "Get off at Station K of the private railway, and walk for five or six minutes." "The K station of the private railway is the XX line?" "yes." Mu Qi felt clouds rising in front of his eyes, and Oikawa Maki lived near the K station.Like two drops of water fused together, the dead man and the real tree overlapped in an instant.Could it be that Makoto often finds books by unknown writers near his home on the shelves of bookstores for his own use? The appearance of Makoto seems to make Kisaki understand the purpose of the suspicious banknotes that Tonooka asked him to send. Using automatic lockers and "Sunday Nap" to hand over banknotes is obviously not a normal payment or gift.This may be a clever strategy for the recipient to get the money without exposing himself. The recipient asked for money without revealing his identity, but Tonooka did exactly what the prisoner asked.What exactly is going on?Is it to accept the kidnapping ransom, or the extortion fee? Kisaki knew nothing about Tonooka's private life. If a child or relative was abducted, he would not be so calm when he heard Kisaki's report that the culprit was not identified.It can be seen from his eyes that he is not very interested, and seems to have estimated the result. Besides, if it is a ransom, the amount seems to be too small. I am afraid that there is no one who cheated just for two to three hundred thousand yen. Then it could be extortion.Diangang was caught by someone, so he had to do what the prisoner said.The prisoner held the handle of Diangang, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. Assuming that Makoto is the criminal who blackmailed, what kind of handle did she catch?Maybe caught. Oikawa Maki is likely to be a substitute for Shusaku Shada's mistress, because the real mistress never wants to expose herself.If Masaki made a substitute on the premise of knowing Shatian's mistress, it means that she has caught the handle of the mistress. So, really set up evil thoughts and blackmailed his girlfriend?Behind the management of China Economic Management - a powerful sponsor.Moreover, its sponsor is also related to Sha Tin's mistress. It is possible that the money will be provided by the sponsor, and then handed over to the prisoner who blackmailed by the middle manager of the middle agent.At the same time, Zhongjingguan accepted the task of finding out the prisoner. However, if this is the case, real trees are very dangerous.This is because the knowledge of Shatian's mistress is extremely limited.If the sieves are passed through the sieve one by one from this number, the real tree will be found immediately. Mioka once said that now that he has a general understanding of the prisoner, did Masaki come out to take the hot money on the basis of knowing this situation?Does she need money so badly?As a high-class prostitute, her income must be considerable, so why cross such a dangerous bridge for two to three hundred thousand yen? In his own imagination, Kisaki has decided that Masaki is the criminal. Everyone has their own life.Even if it is dangerous, in order to survive, one must be patient——Kisaki remembered what Maki said. Is this what she endured in order to survive? Kisaki wants to verify the conclusion drawn by his imagination. If Masaki is really the culprit, then he must try to stop her.Because this is undoubtedly going into the tiger's den to steal tiger cubs, so it goes without saying that it is dangerous. Kisaki went to the publisher of "Sunday Nap" and bought a copy.It is said that this book has set a new record for slow sales at the publishing house, so the publishing house was surprised that Kisaki came to buy this book on purpose. Kisaki talked nonsense, saying that he was a fan of Suzuki Ichiro's works, and even his fragments of bamboo slips were not spared. "Has Suzuki Ichiro broken any fragments?" The other party felt even more incredible.Anyway, Kisaki had already got "Sunday Nap", and he came to Oikawa Masaki again. Oikawa Maki came to the teahouse before.Kisaki once wanted to go to her house, but Masaki always said that the house was messy and intrusive, so he suggested going to the teahouse.For Kizaki, although this is an "intimate atmosphere" with Masaki, he still feels sad about being rejected from her house. Makoto didn't come alone.She was leading a four or five-year-old little girl in her hand, a very cute little girl with fair skin who resembled a real tree.But in Yuanyuan's innocent and childish eyes, there is a sense of desolation and loneliness. "This is my daughter Eri. Eri, say hello to Uncle." Urged by her mother, Eri grandly greeted Kizaki, who was seeing Masaki's daughter for the first time. "Eri said, I must meet my mother's boyfriend." Maki looked at her daughter with loving eyes.It was the look in the mother's eyes that would do anything to fill the void that lacked the father. Mizusaki was overjoyed when he heard Makoto calling himself "boyfriend".But Makoto brought the child to the appointment, which made him feel very disappointed.Can't we go a step further in our relationship with her? "Eili had a fever in the morning, so she didn't let her go to the kindergarten, but she became fine all of a sudden, and she was tricked by her tricks." It seems that Kisaki's disappointment can be seen, Maki explained.There's a "we're dating while the kids aren't around" connotation behind this explanation. "Sorry for calling you out suddenly." "It's okay, there's nothing to do during the day anyway." "Today, I'm here to deliver something you forgot to take." Because there was a child in front of him, Kisaki was a little embarrassed, but he still said it boldly. "What did you forget to take?" Maki was very surprised. "It's this book." Kisaki stared at the change of Masaki's expression, and handed over the book "Sunday Nap".Makoto took the book casually, glanced at the title, his facial expression suddenly became stiff, but then he immediately returned to nature, and asked inexplicably: "This book is me...?" "Didn't you forget it in the Shimbashi automatic locker?" "I don't know what you mean by that." Makoto still didn't respond at all.The stiff expression that suddenly appeared at first was only fleeting, and Kisaki didn't catch it. But Kisaki thinks that there is no reaction, just a reaction. Generally speaking, if you hand over a book that has nothing to do with you, you will definitely ask why it happened.At this time, she just pretended to be ignorant, but forgot to express her interest. "Didn't you entrust someone to buy this book at Jinto Bookstore the day before yesterday, and then send it to the automatic locker in Shimbashi?" "Yes, I have." "It's better, of course, but the people who put money in the automatic locker at that time have already taken precautions against the people who bought this book." Maki's expression of pretending to be calm changed a lot. This time, she was right. Her lips parted slightly, and a slight sigh came out. "Miss Maki," seeing her shaken, Kisaki changed his tone: "I don't know what happened, but it's dangerous for you to approach that group of people. You said a few days ago that you have to be patient in order to survive things, and I met in a situation other than this. And suggested that even if we meet again in a situation that requires patience, we should cherish our first meeting and just pretend that we don't know each other, but I can't pretend I don’t know you. As a friend, I can’t watch you take risks. I don’t know if you know that I am the one who put money in the cabinet, Masaki. As a friend, I sincerely warn you that you can’t use that group of people as opponents , they are too powerful and dangerous. You are not a hunter who can take prey." Kisaki himself didn't know who that group of people were. Although it is not yet confirmed that Maki is the criminal, Kizaki said everything he wanted to say bluntly.During the conversation, he confirmed that Maki was the prisoner. Maki covered her mouth with her hands.She pretended to cover her light smile with her hands, and her movements were very unnatural. "Thank you very much for your kindness. But I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Kisaki, should you go?" It seems that Makoto wants to pretend to the end.At this time, Kisaki felt that in Masaki's graceful and elegant figure, there was a kind of unmoved iron character.This is more than just "picking chestnuts out of the fire", but it may be - to satisfy one's greedy appetite, go to the tiger's den to snatch tiger cubs. At this time, Kisaki has a strong desire to possess the real tree. If he can buy it with money, he would rather buy the real tree. three Toyosumi of the weekly seron magazine, according to the approximate location given by Kisaki, was looking for the house where Kisaki sent his mistress to Sanda. Tamagawa Avenue leads to the circular line 8 of Seta, and Fengju estimates that the location is Uenomo, Nakamachi, and Fukasawa in Setagaya District.If it is Seta or Uenomo 2 and 3-chome, you must cross the Ring 8 Line when you return to the city center, so you should have an impression.Otherwise, Ueno Mao 1, 4-chome or Fukasawa and Nakamachi are most likely.Kezhong Town and Fukasawa area are mostly apartments and small houses in public housing areas.So is the "luxurious mansion" in Uenoge? Fengzu investigated whether there was anyone related to Shatian Shusaku living in this area.Kisaki works for the "Central Economic Management Company" in Ginza. Whenever political-related incidents occur, this company is always involved in it from time to time, so it is also where Toyozu often pays attention. Although it was generally imagined that it was an agency company for government and business, but the details of the sponsor were not found out. However, if the Central Economic Management Office helped to hide the female companion on the issue of Shatian Shuce's death, then the Central Economic Management Office's sponsors have also roughly revealed their outlines. Shatian's death will probably inevitably bring about a setback to the domestic faction.Is Sanda's female companion an entertainer from the domestic group? Feng lived in this area and focused on investigating whether there were people related to Lingjing Heavy Industries, rather than the big figures of the domestic faction. First, whether there were residences for senior staff, and then the residences of key cadres and company employees. Not only Lingjing, Heavy Industry also checked related companies and subcontractors. A few people in junior management positions lived in Fukasawa and Nakamachi, but these were small residences and communal residences for ordinary employees, far from luxurious and spectacular. When Feng Zhu was running around like a dog in the residential area of ​​Uenoge, several limousines led by white motorcycles drove past him.The front and back are guarded by white motorcycle police cars and are heavily guarded. ——Whose team is this? The loud exhaust noise of the white motorcycle seemed to say "Get out of the way, get out of the way".With a timid look on his face, Feng Zhu watched the modern convoy of the princes' guard of honor pass by. When the car in the middle of the convoy passed by, Fengzhu found a familiar silhouette through the car window, and was startled. When he looked intently, the car had already passed by. Watching the convoy leaving behind dust and exhaust fumes, Toyozu intuitively realized that the silhouette he saw in the limousine just now was the sensational president of the Democratic Friends of the Democratic Party and current Prime Minister Eisuke Kurahashi.Although only a glimpse, the high cheekbones and prominent frontal features make a deep impression. ——Why did Eisuke Kurahashi come to this kind of place? (Yes, his private residence is in Uenomo.) Although he knew that Kurahashi's private house was in Uenomo, he hadn't thought of it so far.This is because he and Sunada are in completely opposite positions. Regarding imported weapons, Kurahashi has not made a clear statement based on his status, but the news circles believe that he belongs to the import camp. This understanding arises from the relationship between Cangqiao and "Hengshang", that is, "Hengdao Shoji".The relationship between Kurahashi and Yokomichi Shojikai and Yokomichi Daizo is inseparable.According to legend, when Canghashi was still an ordinary party member, they met in the interrogation office when they were suspected of being investigated for a corruption case. Since then, Cangqiao and Hengdao have worked hand in hand to help each other. Yokomichi was in Osaka after the war.He made a living by picking up scrap iron by the river, and was known as "He Taro".After that, he made his fortune and ran iron factories and construction companies.In the chaotic period after the war, he was good at playing tricks and was able to rise to power. During this period, Yokomichi's ambition was greatly enhanced by his acquaintance with Eisuke Kurahashi.Moreover, Cangqiao also relied on Hengdao's financial resources to solidly and steadily expand his political territory. Politicians and businessmen are like ants and cockroaches.Businessmen provide politicians with the honey of abundant funds, which in turn expand their business circles.At the same time, if politicians cut off their nectar (funding source), they will not be able to maintain their political life and growing ambitions.Because in the nest of politics, there are still many retainers who must be supported. Taking advantage of the disintegration of the pre-war chaebol-based trading companies by the Centralized Prohibition Act, Hengdao Trading took advantage of being abused as "barbaric trading", and took all means to develop and grow. Moreover, Cangqiao's right to compensate Southeast Asia was all handed over to him, which became the driving force for its development and growth.Hengdao was grateful to Dade for this, and generously donated nearly 5 billion in campaign funds during the presidential election of the Democratic Friendship Party. He successfully drove out the then prime minister and pushed Cangqiao to the throne of president.Since then, Kurahashi was able to gain power and form the largest faction of the Minyou Party with more than 100 seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate. This Hengmichi is the general agent in Japan of the large aircraft manufacturer "Sprut Corporation" of A country, and is currently making every effort to introduce the company's TX25F aircraft as the next main fighter. It is from this that the understanding that Eisuke Kurahashi, the head of the import faction and inseparable from Hengshang, and Shusaku Sunada, the far right wing of the domestic faction, are not fellow travelers. This was coincidental, and Kisaki did not say that she was sent to Uenomo.It is a rash judgment to associate "Tamagawa Avenue" with Ueno Mao based on the vague impression in the middle of the night. ——Although Toyozu thought so, he still felt a little involved. The so-called completely opposite positions are also very intense "hostile relations". Shusaku Shata's death was full of unknowns. In order to get Asuka's waitress to speak up, she once deliberately suggested that she was suspected of being murdered by the opposition in this case.However, this may be on the mark. If so, it is possible that the female companion who became the unsolved mystery was appointed by Eisuke Kurahashi who is in the complete opposite position. ——However, why is the current prime minister like this! Fengzhu himself denied this unique idea that was born by a weekly reporter. However, Kurahashi is the only major figure in Uenoge who is related to Shusaku Sunada (including the completely opposite position). For the sake of caution, Toyosumi avoided the eyes of the guards and police, took photos of Kurahashi House from several different angles, and called Kisaki to look at the photos. "How about it, do you have any impression of this mansion?" Toyosumi wanted to use photos to evoke Kisaki's memory without any hint. "Where is this?" However, Kisaki's memory didn't seem to be triggered. "Isn't that the mansion you sent Mistress Shatian to?" "Why is this?" Kisaki looked a little nervous. "Look carefully to see if it is this mansion. This is the residence you roughly identified as Uenoge." "It seems to be." Kisaki said, staring at the photo. "Not sure?" "I'm not sure, it's in the middle of the night, and it's such a short time. However, this brick wall with iron railings on it looks like a city wall." "Oh, and there are iron railings on the brick wall?" "I thought it was a fortified mansion at the time. Whose house is this?" "Eisuke Kurahashi's." "what?" "President of the People's Friendship Party, the private residence of the current prime minister." "real?" "of course it's true." "How could Shatian's mistress go to Kurahashi's house?" "So I also feel strange, well, it's useless to be strange here, come to this house with me, okay?" Induced by Toyozumi, Kisaki became curious, and the photos became the yeast of Kisaki's curiosity.The two hailed a taxi and drove to Shangye Mao.Not far from the front of the house, the two got out of the car and walked towards Cangqiao's house as if nothing had happened.Kurahashi might not be in the room at this time, only a guard policeman stood in front of the door boredly. The mansions in this area are all located among trees and gardens, and they are an elegant and chic corner of Tokyo that was acquired by money and influence.In the quiet afternoon when cats and dogs are also taking a nap, there is no moving shadow on the road except for these two people. The policeman cast a vigilant look at the two who passed by the door, but immediately turned to the other side while suppressing their yawns.Look at that look, as if there is an insurance business person or a salesman in front of you. "How is it?" Feng Zhu asked after walking by. "Well, it's probably this one." Although Kisaki wasn't sure, he was quite confident. "That's right?" "Although it is night, except for the building of the mansion, the road feels exactly the same. Yes, it turned from here to the door. At that time, I wanted to use the door light to identify the house number, but the distance was too far. Most likely Nine mistakes, but why did Shatian's mistress come to Prime Minister Cangqiao's house?" "I don't understand that either. But I think there's some big, unexpected person involved here." Fengzhu folded his arms and fell into deep thought in the middle of the road. This began to be noticed by the police in front of the Cangqiao house. Four Now we know that the "Setagaya Residence" where Shusaku Shata's girlfriend went seems to be the private residence of the current Prime Minister Eisuke Kurahashi, but the true identity of the woman is still a mystery. Why did Shusaku Shada's girlfriend go to Kurahashi House?Fengzhu believes that the anti-Sanda faction (import faction) has appointed a woman in order to suspect that the sand field, but can the Prime Minister directly intervene in work similar to industrial espionage? Kisaki parted ways with Toyozumi suspiciously.No matter who Shatian's girlfriend is, it has nothing to do with Kizaki.If there is a relationship, it is only the relationship between Oikawa Masaki and Kurahashi who became his substitute.That's probably just hired by money. The seasons are changing.The medium for getting acquainted with Makoto - "The Kindergarten Queue" is at the end of October.Because he gave up the qualification to enter the kindergarten to the boss of the previous company, his wife left, and he was transferred to the management of the middle school.As the days and months move, the season has entered early summer from autumn.Later, she and Li Zhi formally divorced.Mu Qi didn't want to separate from her original intention, but Lizhi was determined, so she reluctantly agreed to her divorce request, and also began to adapt to the lonely and boring single life. Sometimes when I think of my children, I feel pain.But for a father who has not paid any pain and sacrifice for the birth of a child, the feeling of "love son" is just a kind of sadness. Once you get used to it, the second celibacy feels free and easy.After the marriage breaks down, because I know what marriage is, I don't have longing for the opposite sex and marriage like when I was single before marriage. Although I feel a little uncomfortable with cooking, washing clothes and daily chores, various civilized tools have been invented to make up for this discomfort. I have not seen a woman's body for a while, and even my sexual desire has gradually become weathered. Eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy.What a simple life.If there is a wife around, it can't be so simple. When I come home from get off work, even if I suddenly want to eat a bowl of noodles in the restaurant, I can't just eat it casually when I think of my wife who is waiting for dinner at home.If you say that you have eaten outside in front of your wife's self-made meals, you will immediately make your wife unhappy. Even if you may be late for a while, you must notify in advance. Even while sleeping, various programs are required.Once there are children, the process is even more complicated. You can't comfortably go to a movie during the holidays.When going out other than business trips, the wife must stick to the back like goldfish excrement. This is not limited to the new type of family. In the family system society, it is natural to act as a unit. In order to act outside the pattern of daily life, one must "declare" to the wife, or make up lies. However, now I am free from any constraints from my wife. Although this kind of freedom is accompanied by a sense of desolation, it is freedom after all. Most of the meals are eaten outside, and the washing of clothes is undertaken by the automatic laundromat.When the libido is stored to the limit, go to the hammam once.I was a little embarrassed at the beginning, but after accepting the baptism once, it didn't matter. This is an automatic washing machine for sex, as long as you give your body to her, you can wash away your desires very efficiently.There is neither the troublesome procedure of seducing women, nor the entanglement afterwards, and high-quality women gather, who can satisfy men's desires with incomparable skills with wives and make them free. At first, I felt uncomfortable meeting other customers in the reception room of the hammam, but recently many shops have added single reception rooms. Since I go regularly, there are familiar waitresses.Even if you don't explain your hobbies one by one, the other party can understand as if you go to the barber shop you often go to, and serve with superb skills until the end. They are professional and charge a service fee, but the hospitality is so attentive and sincere that one may even regret not coming sooner. This is really what the wives of indifferent love and vain names should do to emulate a little. On this day, Kisaki came to the Turkish bath that he often went to for the first time in many days, and after thoroughly disposing of the desires accumulated in his body like swamp gas, he returned home at 11 midnight. The meal is over, and when I get home, all I have to do is sleep in the bed that is never made. Kisaki climbed the stairs of the public house, and when he came to the door of the house, he heard the phone ringing inside the house.He suddenly realized that it was his own phone, and he took out the key and stretched it towards the keyhole, but because of his panic, he couldn't insert it no matter what. The door finally opened.He threw off his shoes and grabbed the microphone.Suddenly, Maki's impatient voice flew into his ears. "Kizaki, I am Masaki, help me!" "Masaki? What's the matter?" Kizaki who was taken aback asked back, unable to adapt to the sudden situation immediately. "Quick, save me. I'm scared!" "Hey, where are you now? What are you afraid of?" "I don't know where, I'm imprisoned, sometimes I can hear the waves. Come and save me!" This was the last sentence, and the other party hung up the phone. Kisaki held the silent microphone for a while, and then realized that this attempt was meaningless, so he put the microphone down. Kisaki's brain was confused, and Masaki suddenly turned to himself for help, but he didn't know where he was.I don't know who is going to do her any harm."Sound of the Waves" alone won't do anything. Kisaki thought it was better to call Maki's house first.Maki has a young daughter, Eri.Is Eri also in danger with Maki?Usually, Maki is still working at this time, but Kizaki doesn't know her workplace. After several calls, someone answered the phone.However, it wasn't the voice of Maki and Eri. "Is Ms. Oikawa Maki at home?" Kisaki asked prayingly. "Not here now." Judging from the voice, the other party was an elderly woman. "Are you in the unit now?" Kisaki tentatively asked the other party's identity. "No, go on a trip." "What? Travel?! Then, where did you travel?" Kisaki asked, suppressing the rising anxiety in his heart. "I didn't ask her where she was going, who are you?" "Ah, I'm sorry. I'm a friend of Ms. Oikawa Masaki, and I just received a strange call from Masaki." "Strange call? What call?" "Are you a relative of Ms. Maki?" "I'm Masaki's mother. Masaki said she was going on a trip for three or four days and asked me to take care of Eri. I came to watch her house the day before yesterday." From the tone of her voice, she seemed to have entrusted the housekeeper many times before.Maki may travel frequently due to "professional" relationship. "It turned out to be mother, speaking of it—" Kisaki told Masaki's distress call, and asked if she knew where she was and what happened to her. However, the mother's answer was that she didn't know at all. "Did Ms. Maki often go out to breed?" "Go out often." Mother seemed to know the content of the trip.That is, knowing and understanding Maki's profession.Probably the mother also relies on Makoto's work to live. "Do you remember where she went?" “不，没问过她去哪儿。”母亲不无羞涩地说。 “好象是从海滨附近打来的电话，不会是到伊豆或房总方面去了吧？” “这个……”母亲的反应令人失望。 “我说，真树真的打来了那种电话？”母亲果然没相信女儿发出的事出偶然遇难信号。 “因为来了这个电话，我才问你的。”木崎母亲带有疑问的口吻感到气愤，放下了话筒。 电话是挂死了，但是坐立不安。真树不会为了引诱木崎开这种玩笑。她真的是陷入严重的危机了。 然而，自己却不能为了救她做任何事。 不知如何是好的木崎，想起了应该与丰住商量一下，丰住是周刊杂志记者，说不定会有什么好主意。 可是，在这早不早晚不晚的时间，他能在杂志社吗？又没问过他家里的电话号码。 总之还是给杂志社去个电话看看。丰住正好在那儿。木崎简明扼要地说明了情况，可丰住早已知道了及川真树的住所。 “真对不起啦，前几天在大手町的诊疗所碰到你时，就发现你好象认识及川真树，便跟踪上了。” “是这样啊，那么去确认仓桥英辅宅时，你怎么没对我说？” “总编辑说暂时不要声张。” “总编辑？” “他说由于砂田的女伴不想暴露身分才让真树做的替身，如果发现真树知道那个女人的真相，并且真树又被周刊杂志盯上了，她可能有危险。” “所谓危险，就是可能被除掉吧？” “我当时还没想到这儿，可是如果真树以女伴的身分为把柄要挟的话，就有这种危险性了。” “并不能说她要挟了。” “可和要挟没什么两样。” “那怎么办好呢？” “没办法，连她在哪儿都不知道。” “不能想办法查出来吗？你是周刊杂志的记者呀。” “别瞎说啦。周刊杂志的记者又不是福尔摩斯。不，即便是福尔摩斯也没办法。” "Then what to do?" “不久就会有消息的吧。也许意想不到地安然回来呢。” “不报警行吗？” “报什么警？本人前天不是说去旅行了吗，前天才刚刚出去嘛。报告警察也没什么办法。” “可是，事实上已打来了遇难电话了嘛，想想办法吧。” “好啦好啦，我向警察讲一下看。你也要把眼睛睁大些啊。” “睁眼睛？” “清醒点儿，及川真树不是有要挟你们公司资助者的迹象吗？所以，从公司的动态中也可能知道她的去向。” “啊，知道啦。” “木崎，”丰住突然改变了口气，“这几天我就想问问你，你和及川真树是什么关系？” “啊，只是认识一点儿。”木崎突然被问，觉得有些不好意思。 “可是，只凭认识一点儿，在出现生命危险时，她能向你求救吗？” “是真的，只是排队给孩子办入托时挨着了。”只是在同一个斗篷下相互依偎着度过一夜的朋友。那一夜的接触，产生了互相勉励、相互帮助着进行艰苦搏斗的战友意识。可是，这对于第三者大概是木能理解的，他们是连手都没碰一下的纯精神性的朋友。 “果真如此，她可是过于信賴你了。如果报警只需拔3个号码就可以了，可她先于警察却想到了你，并拨弄长长的电话号码向你求救。” 听着丰住的话，木崎祷告着。他不能不为真树的平安无事祈祷。
