Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Humiliated Marriage

Shigemi Sanada was once in a tight spot. Two years ago, she ran a coffee shop in Akasaka 3-chome. The rent was expensive, and almost all the money she earned was spent on rent.Shigemi Sanada thought it was not worthwhile to continue, so she sold the coffee shop, and then spent her days idle. She had thought that a large coffee shop royalty would be enough to live a leisurely life.Travel, play golf, play pachinko.The metaphor is "sit and eat the mountains and nothing", unknowingly she spent all the royalties. Today, life is far from being poor, but she has begun to think about finding a job.At this time she met Ozaki Tetsuya.

Ozaki is thirty-five years old and runs a small engineering shop in the city of Shimokuni.Shigemi Sanada intends to travel to Europe for the last time before work, and there is Ozaki in the same travel team. Two years ago, Ozaki's wife passed away due to illness, and there was nothing he could do.In search of a new life for a comeback, he traveled to Europe. Ozaki and Moromi share similar interests, and they quickly become close during the trip.Not long after returning from his trip, Ozaki proposed to Shigemi. "I have a child with me, and I am a man with no merits. If you want, will you live with me?" Ozaki asked sincerely.

Fanmei is nearly thirty years old. She has been engaged in the work of receiving guests for a long time, and she has been favored by men. However, she also dreamed of getting married. Because she has been trapped in a world of ghosts and ghosts for many years, she gave up her heart and desperately thought that she would be married in this life. Impossible to get married. After receiving Ozaki's marriage proposal, she could hardly believe her ears.I make a living by betraying my looks, and never expected to get married in a dignified manner. Ozaki's marriage proposal is serious, and the throne of his wife, which he thought was unattainable, is about to become a reality.

Even if it breaks, I want to try to get married once.Climb to the throne that every woman desires, and if it is really not suitable for you after personal experience, it is not too late to give up. However, from the very beginning, it has gone in the opposite direction of what a woman should get married. As a woman, she should feel that this is a loss. Ozaki has a five-year-old boy.For Fanmei, there is no hindrance.Ozaki is full of masculinity, and Fanmei likes it very much. If this opportunity is missed, it will be impossible to get married in this life.Whether you are happy or unhappy after marriage is not a question.

In short, it is a pity for a woman to make such a decision from the beginning not to marry in her life. Fanmei agreed to Ozaki's marriage proposal. She is familiar with the affairs between men and women, but she is completely immune to marriage. After accepting Ozaki's marriage proposal, Fanmei is suddenly embarrassed.When the economy was tight, I went to Europe, and now almost all the money on hand has bottomed out. If she gets married, she will definitely live with Ozaki, and the current house will be useless. Fanmei sells her house as a last resort. She likes this house very much. It is a two-bedroom unit, and one person lives alone. The area is enough.Not far from the city center, the traffic is convenient.The residential area is just a small street away from the main street. The environment is quiet and the lighting in the room is ideal.

Once such a residence is sold, it is impossible to buy it, and I do not want to give up this residence from the bottom of my heart.In addition, even if you get married, you must have your own nest, which is a guarantee of safety after the marriage breaks down. Before getting married, he thought about the things after divorce. It is worthy of being a strong character cultivated by beatings in the industry of receiving guests. As if someone saw through that Fanmei was in need of money, on the night of September 19, she received a call. "Is it Miss Fanmei? It's me, it's Kishimoto, I've been to your store in Akasaka several times."

The voice on the phone was intimate. "Ah, it's Mr. Kishimoto. It's rare. Do you remember me?" Fanmei recalled the names of the customers who came to the store two years ago.Women who do this kind of business are good at remembering the names of customers who come to the store even once. "Do you still remember me?" Fanmei asked full of nostalgia. "What did you say? Didn't you tell me the phone number?" "Ah, I remembered." "What are you doing after leaving the store?" "Playing every day, I'm bored to death."

"What a blessing. Your store is gone, and I have nowhere to go." "You have such a sweet mouth. There must be stories of your love affairs everywhere now." The estrangement that hadn't been seen for two years suddenly disappeared, and Fanmei started teasing the guests again as the proprietress. "I don't have time to spare, otherwise why would I call you? To be honest, I have something to ask." "What do you want me to do?" "I have an acquaintance who is a trader. I have a friend from the United States who is traveling in Japan for a week. I want to find a lady to accompany me. It is just a travel guide. I heard that I will pay one million yen for a week. This trader is enough How is it? Can you help me?"

"A week? For a million?" "Don't worry about other expenses. The other party said that the meal and travel expenses will be covered by him." "If it's really just a travel guide, I'm willing to help." "It's hard for me to guarantee the safety of my virginity." Kishimoto teased. Fanmei really doesn't think that just a tour guide can make a million yen.As long as there is one million, the expenses required for marriage are enough. Selling her body and raising expenses are also the "skills" she has cultivated in the business of entertaining customers before.

"Okay then! It's a deal." "Thank you! You also gave me face. I heard that the other party is an old man in his seventies and eighties. You will be satisfied if you deal with it properly." "How to do it, please advise in detail." It's not a bad job to accompany lustful foreigners and go sightseeing for a week, Fanmei thought happily.Maybe it's just a tourist guide. Fanmei's mind soon came up with the beautiful scenery of the tourist attraction. Tetsuya Ozaki felt deeply disturbed that he could not get in touch with the engaged Shigemi Sanada for several days.

After they got engaged, they talked to each other on the phone almost every day.Ozaki has recently been busy with work, so the number of times the two meet has decreased, and they contact each other by phone at least once a day. She has not heard from her for four or five days. When I talked with Fanmei about five days ago, she said that she would go on a trip for about a week; she also said that she would call during the trip, so please don't worry about it.However, there has never been a phone call. Although they are engaged, they barely know each other.Ozaki was married and lived with one child.He felt that he was a second marriage, burdened by children, and ashamed of the beauty of his first marriage.As an engaged person, he is very concerned about Fanmei's background and experience, but he is in a state of mind that is difficult to express. Fanmei is a mature woman of twenty-nine years old. She used to run a coffee shop. Her past will not be too good.So Ozaki realized that she would be disgusted by asking questions if she could not understand the law, so she gave up. If you get married, you will gradually understand.Let's not investigate her life experience for the time being, it is better to deal with it this way. Fanmei told Ozaki that he was going on a trip, where exactly?with whom?Ozaki's question came to his lips, but he retracted it.Because he already keenly felt that she had something to hide. Fanmei said it was a job, but she shouldn't have any special job right now, Ozaki guessed it was to act as a female companion for men on trips.Of course, you can't ask this kind of question, and you must not fall into jealousy and suspicion if you are not married. However, Fanmei violated the agreement to call during the trip, and there has been no news until now, Ozaki is extremely disturbed, he wants to take the initiative to call, but he doesn't know where she is now. I don’t have time to make a phone call because I’m busy moving around every day, but I shouldn’t be moving at night. I’m at the hotel at night, so I should make a phone call, right? Maybe the man is staring at him all day long, so he doesn't have a chance to make a phone call.It doesn't necessarily stick so firmly, can't you make a phone call by grabbing the slightest gap? As Fanmei, should she want to hear Ozaki's voice, or is she stuck in a situation where she wants to make a phone call but can't? If you can't make phone calls, just drop a postcard into the mailbox.If there is no mailbox, just ask the hotel service desk.If there is a condition to call, but she just doesn't contact, it is according to her own opinion, keeping silent. Ozaki's heart was like fifteen buckets, up and down.Engaged in marriage with Ozaki, in order to bid farewell to the man of the past, take the last trip.Could it be that the two reconciled and reunited after a broken mirror during the journey?Ozaki became more and more uneasy, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. Now, he had to wait patiently for a week.She was traveling, and he was in a daze all day long.I had no choice but to restrain myself and wait for her contact. A week finally passed.Called Fanmeijia but no response.Thinking that she would return early, the phone call made the night before echoed empty. Maybe postpone the plan to come back one day later, Ozaki comforted himself.Waited another day.Today is the eighth day and still no reply. If she returns home, she shouldn't be waiting for Ozaki's contact, but Fanmei should call. Even if you change your mind during the journey and you love someone else, you should still say hello.It's a bit abnormal to go away without hearing from him.Could it be that she was in some trouble? !Ozaki couldn't hold back the turmoil in his heart anymore, and went straight to Fanmei's apartment. Her address is in Uehara 3-chome, Shibuya District, a quiet residential area just across from Jingtou Street. This is a dilapidated small three-story apartment building with a semi-basement parking lot.I have never heard that Fanmei has a small car. Maybe it's the time of the morning, the narrow parking lot that can only accommodate a few cars is empty. In the corner of the parking lot is a garbage station, and a man who looks like an administrator is sorting garbage. Ozaki told him that he wanted to see Fanmei.The day I came back from the scheduled day - I called her yesterday, but no one answered, so I wanted to confirm whether Fanmei was at home. "Did you say it's Sanada Tomomi? She doesn't seem to be at home recently." This administrator is no longer young, it seems that after retiring from a certain company, he is working here again.He answered Ozaki coldly. "She should have returned from a trip yesterday." "Then the plan has been postponed." The administrator replied casually. "If there is a delay, she will definitely contact me." "Even if it's a day or two late, you don't have to worry. Oh, by the way, who are you?" "It's Sanada's friend." "A friend? Then she will contact you soon." "I always feel very uneasy, can you show me her room?" "You, you can't do this. Just because you came back a day or two late and asked to see the room, I can't explain it in the future!" The administrator's expression was a little stunned. "However, if something happens, I won't be able to explain it in the future." "What do you think will happen?" The manager began to show an uneasy expression. "That is to say, something unexpected happened to her. If she wants to contact but falls into a situation where she cannot be contacted, isn't this the administrator's responsibility?" "Don't be kidding, it's not that there is no news for a month or two, it's just a day later than the original plan. Everyone knows that it is common to change the original plan for a day or two." The administrator dare not agree.How righteous he is, and yet so intransigent. "To be honest, I'm Miss Fanmei's fiancé. We met, and she contacted me every day when we were traveling. She didn't contact me once after she left. If the plan changes, then there should be contact. This is not to postpone the plan for a day For me, today is the eighth day and I haven’t heard from her.” Ozaki reveals his relationship with Fanmi to the administrator. "Are you engaged to her?" The administrator softened his attitude slightly. "Yes, that's right. We used to communicate every day, but we lost contact in the past eight days. Don't you find it unusual?" "Eight days, no news?" The administrator became more and more confused, and agreed to Oki's request. "Then, let's go check out the room, please go with me! By the way, what's your name?" "I'm really sorry, the introduction is late, my name is this." Ozaki showed his business card. Although it is a small engineering shop that can easily collapse at any wind, the title of president is printed on the business card, which has won the trust of the administrator. He took out the spare key from the administrator's room, and glanced at the mailbox before entering the Fanmei room. At a glance, Ozaki's uneasy premonition multiplied in an instant, because the newspapers and mail for the entire eight days were overflowing.Anything that couldn't fit was piled up on the mailbox.Fanmei hasn't returned yet?Or are you too tired to pick up the newspaper and consider taking a break first? Holding this glimmer of hope, Ozaki followed the administrator to Fanmei's room. It was Ozaki's first visit to Shigeru's house.She said that she invited Ozaki to her home recently, but she went on a trip, and she cut off the news from then on. To be cautious, the administrator first rang the doorbell, but there was no answer.Then he knocked on the door, but there was still no sound in the room. "It seems that there is no one at home." The administrator looked at Ozaki as if asking what to do. "Please open the door!" Ozaki urged.In short, if you don't look inside, you won't feel relieved. The caretaker inserted the key into the eyelet. "I'll open the door right now." The administrator asked again.Ozaki nodded in agreement.The administrator opened the door.Entering the gate is a concrete floor the size of a tatami mat. On the left is the bathroom and toilet. In the depth is the kitchen with an area of ​​about five tatami mats. Going further inside is a bedroom with an area of ​​eight tatami mats. The administrator only opened a crack in the door, stuck his head in, and greeted, "Is Miss Sanada there?" No answer. "I don't seem to be at home," said the administrator. Ozaki looked over the manager's back and looked around the room. "Things are not good!" He concluded.The curtains were drooping and the room was dark. There is a partition between the kitchen and the bedroom, and there is a dead space in the partition.Just looking at it, you won't think it's particularly abnormal. "There is nothing suspicious," the administrator said to Ozaki. "Look at the ground, there are shoe footprints!" Ozaki pointed his finger at the ground, faintly leaving the footprints of his shoes.Looks like footprints of men's shoes. "Ah, there really are!" On closer inspection, shoe footprints can be seen sporadically in the kitchen.It is impossible for Fanmei to walk into her room with her shoes on.The two looked at each other. After a while. "Look at the room inside!" The administrator no longer hesitated. They crossed the partition and entered the bedroom, where they stood there momentarily terrified. The house is surrounded by a balcony, which doubles as a living room and a bedroom. There is a bed on one wall, and a wardrobe and object cabinet on the other wall. The drawers of the chest of drawers were all open, and the door of the wardrobe was also open, obviously showing signs of theft. "Stolen!" The administrator exclaimed. It appears that criminals took advantage of the owner's absence to sneak into the house and steal money and valuables. "However, it's strange!" Ozaki thought. "The door is locked, right? There is no sign of entering from the balcony. As long as the criminal does not have the key to this house, it is impossible for him to enter this room." Ozaki began to check the face of the administrator. "Aren't you suspicious of me?" The administrator and Ozaki faced each other.Protest against Ozaki. "If the criminal used the spare key to get into the house, where did he get it?" "I keep the keys very well. The tenant's spare keys are all in the key cabinet in the administrator's room, and they are kept strictly locked. I am the person in charge. It is impossible for a third party to get the keys." "Are you on duty here day and night?" "The administrator's working hours are from 9 am to 5 pm, and the rest of the time is at home." "What if someone needs a spare key when you're not at work?" "You can contact me. This has never happened once." "Let's talk. Please don't touch the scene with your hands. Contact the police." After the administrator reported the incident immediately, the police came to the scene. The police also hold the same suspicion as Ozaki.The administrator determines that the safekeeping of the spare key is safe and reliable, and it is impossible to be stolen by a third party. "Is it considered that the victim went out without locking the door?" raises this possibility. "This is not true. Both the janitor and the victim's fiancé confirmed that the door was locked when the janitor opened it with the spare key." "So where is the criminal? How did he get the spare key?" "If it is an acquaintance who commits the crime, it is not a problem to copy the key in advance." "As long as you have the key, you can get the key in two or three minutes at the repair key shop on the street." The searcher's opinion leaned and the victim's acquaintance copied the key.Ozaki, who listened attentively, suggested a worrying possibility. Ozaki is most worried about this danger: Is Fanmei safe and sound after being robbed of her key? The key was indeed snatched away, and it is impossible to continue traveling leisurely. "For example, she didn't realize that she lost the key during the trip. Is there such a possibility?" Another counterargument is presented. "How does the person who found her key know her identity and address?" "Assuming her business card and identification are lost together with the key, whoever finds the key will know the address of the owner of the key." "This is also a possibility. Someone accidentally picked up the key while traveling, and got malicious intentions, stealing the address of the owner of the key or tricking her into traveling." "Do you think Ms. Sanada was assassinated during the trip?" The search police pointedly hit the pain point of Ozaki's fear. "It's impossible for her not to contact me. Will she be assassinated and her body buried during the journey?" "In other words, the criminal planned to kill her from the beginning in order to grab the key." "The criminal robbed her of valuables. It means that she has been eyeing her for a long time and has made plans." Ozaki's hints and speculation made the police nervous.The victim's residence was searched, and Ozaki saw that her usual handbag and her favorite French brand "Chanel" suit disappeared in the closet. The target of the theft is obvious: just money and valuables.It cannot be assumed that the suit is stolen and the rest of the clothing is left in the closet. They searched every corner of the house closely and found important information. Police investigators found a female red lighter in the corner of a closet.It is said that the owner of the room never smokes. This lighter, painted with Chinese lacquer, is a popular item among women.If it wasn't the victim's, there's a good chance the criminal left it behind. The investigators kept the lighter as evidence.And verify carefully. On May 23, in the apartment in Nishi Azabu, Minato-ku, the Ginza proprietress was murdered. One of the reported lost items was a lighter. The Yoyogi Police Station in the jurisdiction was stunned.The proprietress who runs the coffee shop went on a trip without hearing from her, and her house was stolen, but she found the lighter used by the proprietress of Ginza there.After checking, it was confirmed that it was the same lighter. The Yoyogi Police Department believes that the Sanada Shigemi case and the Ginza proprietress case are related. The search headquarters of the Azabu Police Station was immediately rejoiced when they received a call from the Yoyogi Police Station.The search at the Azabu Police Station is at a stalemate, and the remains of the victim unexpectedly turn up. The lighter was quickly sent to the victim's sister, and it was confirmed that it was the victim's item. It is said that my sister bought it as a souvenir when she traveled to Paris.It is my sister's favorite item. The criminal who murdered Yashiro Tokie lured Sanada Shigemi out, robbed the room key, and stole the unoccupied house, and the suspicion became more and more serious. What is worrying is the safety of Shigemi Sanada, and there is still no news of her to this day. What attracted the attention of the Azabu Police Station and the Yoyogi Police Station was that the victims were all bar and coffee shop operators. Yashiro Tokieda has been running a bar in Ginza 6-chome for ten years, and Sanada Shigemi ran a coffee shop in Akasaka 2-chome two years ago. Both are single women, and outsiders think they are rich. With the deepening of research on these two cases, their relevance is getting closer. It has been ten days since there was no news from Shigemi Sanada, and there is still no news. Fanmei was murdered while traveling, this kind of analysis is more likely.So the Yoyogi Police Station decided to set up a special search headquarters and conduct a search. It is customary in homicide cases to start searching after the body is found.If the criminal hides the body, the scene of the crime is unknown, and as a result, the assistance of witnesses cannot be obtained.This is unfavorable to the search and sets up obstacles. The phrase "details at the scene" shows that the scene is a treasure trove of information for investigators. The scene is unknown, which means that the information found is almost zero. A homicide case without a body is not established.If the body is hidden and not found, a crime is committed. The Yoyogi Police Station and the Azabu Police Station cooperated closely and searched for Sanada Shigemi's whereabouts. Since his father introduced Machiko Yasui, Shingo Takeura began to visit his old father frequently. The image of his father's authority over the years will gradually collapse due to the intrusion of a woman of unknown origin. As a son, he feels deeply sad and hard to face. Zhenwu wants to let it go, but he can't. At this moment, I should help my father. Father has become Machiko's deadly captive.The fathers of today are not the fathers of yesteryear.It's just a hollow shell of nothingness that has been sucked dry by Machiko. Even so, after all, he is still his own father. Facing a father who is dominated by a mysterious woman, if the child does not stand up to save him, then who else can save him? It may be too late, but never back down.As long as it is knocked, the "dust" will always be shaken out.Be sure to reveal her true colors and awaken her father. In the past, my father always expected Shingo to visit him, but recently Shingo showed a confused look when he came.My father seems to think that marrying Machiko Yasui will cause Shingo to worry about the loss of his property. Indeed, the Zhupu family's property will be taken away by the smelly woman who just appeared, and no one can accept it. If the father marries Machiko, one-half of the Zhupu family's wealth will be legally owned by Machiko.As a child, Shingo is of course hard to accept. The appearance of Machiko is deepening the rift between father and son, and they are suspicious of each other.Every time I visit my father, the shadow of Machiko reappears by my father's side and in his house.Father has been completely conquered by her. "Even if you don't come to see me often, I'll never let a mouse go." said the father in a sarcastic tone. "I don't mean anything else. I just want to know more about Machiko Yasui." "She's going to be your stepmother soon, there's no point in doing that." "If you want to be a stepmother, it is even more necessary to understand. Have you exchanged household registration books, ID cards, etc.?" "Is it necessary? If you get married, you will understand everything." "It was too late after she got married. I didn't know about her family members, her living environment, her experiences, or even her origin." "This is not your marriage! I will do these things! You are not allowed to act like a private detective!" "Didn't you just say that she will soon be my stepmother? As a child, you have the right to know your stepmother." "That's fine, let me understand." From his father's reaction, Shingo knew that his father barely knew this woman. At the end of life, a young woman is suddenly and miraculously delivered, and he is extremely afraid of losing her.Certainly not doing anything that might lose her. Her father worried that knowing her life experience would make her unhappy.However, the two newlyweds should get to know every aspect of each other.The reason why my father didn't want to know about Machiko's past was because he was sensitive to the fact that she hated being questioned by others. The father, who was completely conquered by this woman, had made up his mind to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and wanted to marry her.Seventy-six years of life experience and wisdom no longer matter at this moment. This woman became more and more suspicious. Originally, she should have taken the initiative to tell her father about her background and experience. She didn't dare to do so because she had an ulterior inner disease. If after marriage, any inner hidden disease is exposed, it will be an afterthought. It is obvious that Yasui Machiko is not willing to marry out of pure love for her father. Shingo plans to hire a private detective to find out the truth about Machiko Yasui.Now, even if something is found out, it will be useless to her loyal father who is her slave.As a child, that's all I can do now. However, my father has been sensitive to Shingo's intentions and resolutely stopped him. We love each other and trust each other, isn't that enough?Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to engage in private detectives.The father made his son die of this heart. Regarding the question of knowing the son, the ability of discernment and thinking of the father and the son is completely different. After meeting Machiko, when Shingo visited his father's house, he found a brooch on the dressing table in the bedroom, which immediately made him uneasy. There was no dresser at home before, but my father bought it for Machiko and placed it in a corner of the bedroom. This brooch is silver and has a unique design resembling a scorpion bull.Shingo still has a fresh memory of this brooch.He picked up the brooch with his fingers, looked at it carefully and repeatedly, and yes, it was it. This is Shingo's gift to his former lover Miwa Kitahara.It is a product of a Danish silversmith. Meihe loves it very much and often wears it. Why did this brooch appear in my father's room?It may be considered a similar work by the same craftsman, however this brooch is not distributed in the Japanese market.Moreover, the characteristics of a rather subtle personality are deeply imprinted in Shingo's mind. "Father, whose brooch is it?" Shingo suppressed his astonishment and asked his father. "Oh, Machiko forgot to take it." The father didn't know that his answer was of great importance. "It must be something she forgot to put here?" "Is there no one else besides Machiko?" "Why does she have a brooch exactly like Meihe?" Shinwu tried his best to restrain himself, he didn't utter these words, he just murmured in his heart. "What about the brooch?" "Dad, can I borrow this brooch for a while?" "This is Machiko's stuff." "Send it back right away." "Weird! I like it, so I want to find the same one, and give it to my lover." My father explained it wisely. Shingo got the brooch and immediately got in touch with Kitahara Miwa.After the case happened, I met three times and never contacted again. "long time no see." On the phone, the answer was beautiful and cold.Both are aware of each other's weaknesses, albeit in a respectful tone. "You seem to be fine, don't you? I'm sorry for calling suddenly. There is something I want to know." "You said you want to know, what is it?" "The silver brooch I gave you before, is it still there?" As soon as the voice fell, the other side of the phone seemed to take a breath and fell silent. "What's wrong? Is it still used now?" "Why do you ask this?" "I think maybe at that time, the brooch was snatched away by hooligans." "The brooch may have been lost when it was thrown out of the car by the criminal. I think it must have been lost in the criminal's car." "Really? Got it." "What about the brooch?" "No, something disturbing has happened. I'm so sorry for suddenly asking about something that doesn't make sense." "It's okay. But I have to return your brooch!" "I didn't call for that." Shingo hastily hung up the phone.indeed so.This is the brooch that Shingo gave Miwa.This brooch is beside Machiko Yasui. This shows that Machiko has some relationship with the criminal who attacked Miwa. That vixen was still hiding with its tail between its legs, and Shingo gritted his teeth angrily. The criminal presented Miwa's brooch to Machiko, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary. The criminal raped Shingo's lover and stamped Shingo with an unforgettable shame.It was this criminal who had a special relationship with the object of his father's marriage, which made Shingo terrified and shuddered in the face of this marriage. Takeura Shingo found a brooch presented to Kitahara Miwa from his father's house. Just a few days before and after that, Yashiro Yumiko was eager to see Takeura, saying that he had something to discuss. Yumiko met Shingo when he went to see Yashiro Tokie's house.After they walked to the subway station to talk together, they haven't contacted each other.Today, Yumiko asked to meet each other. For some reason, Shingo was a little excited and almost lost his mind. He and Yumiko have only met once, and the conversation between the two is only from the apartment to the subway entrance. Shingo's job is mainly in the field, so he has more freedom of movement.He meets Yumiko at a coffee shop in Shinjuku. Shingo had unreservedly confided to Yumiko the shame she shared with Kitahara Miwa, and Yumiko liked Shingo's sincerity and frankness. Shingo felt that Miwa hadn't forgiven himself, and thought that if Yumiko shared the same shame as himself, she would forgive him tenderly. Maybe I lost my beauty and longed for the tenderness of a woman.Shingo warned himself.I am not in the position of asking Yumiko to be gentle. "Actually, I want to see you too, and I have something to tell you." Shingo faced Yumiko and said this instead of greeting after parting. The lingering summer has finally passed, and the autumn wind blowing on the face is refreshing and pleasant.Yumiko is wearing a dress with an elegant water drop pattern. "What do you want to say?" Yumiko stared at Shingo without hesitation.There are shadows hidden in her desolate eyes, and the expression on her face seems to contain a hint of a woman, but Shingo is not yet in the position to reveal the hint. Shingo tells how Kitahara Miwa's brooch was found in her father's room, and Yumiko is surprised. "That means, your father's fiancée is somehow related to the criminal who attacked Kitahara, right?" Yumiko confirmed. "That's what happened." "That's a serious situation." "Yes, so before I report it to the police, I want to let you know." "Does your father know about this?" "I haven't mentioned it to my father yet. My father has become Machiko Yasui's dead-hearted captive, so as soon as I tell my father clearly, that woman will run away. I am also worried that if the woman finds out what I have discovered, she will also will run away." "Is it possible that your father's fiancée Machiko Yasui got the brooch from someone other than a criminal?" "You mean there is a third party intervening between Machiko and the criminal?" Yumiko nodded in agreement. "I've also thought about that possibility. But, is there a third party? If you follow the path where Machiko got the brooch, you will connect with the criminal." Yumiko agreed. "Miss Yumiko, what do you want to discuss with me?" Shingo urged me this time. "When my sister was killed, one of the stolen things appeared." "What did you say?" Shingo changed his sitting posture. Yumiko told him in detail that she found her sister's lighter in Sanada Shigeru's bedroom. "Surely it's my sister's lighter?" "Absolutely. Because it's my sister's favorite thing, I know it very well. I still remember the scratches from my hands, the slight peeling of the paint, etc., and it must belong to my sister." Yumiko is confident in her judgment. "In other words, the criminal who killed your sister is related to the theft of Shigeru Sanada's house?" "Not only that, Shigemi Sanada's whereabouts are unknown. The police suspected that someone lured Sanada away from home and killed her, and then robbed her keys and went to her house to steal money." "Has Sanada's body not been found yet?" "not yet." It is suspicious that the criminal who attacked Shingo and Miwa and raped Miwa is related to the murder of Yashiro Tokie. From this reasoning, Yasui Machiko is implicated in the murder of Tokieda and the disappearance of Sanada Shigemi. The two looked at each other, peeping at each other's expressions, and the same desire rose together deep in their hearts. "Among your sister's personal relationships during her lifetime, is there anyone named Machiko Yasui or Shigemi Sanada?" "As far as I know, I haven't heard of it. I want to ask, do you know Kishimoto?" "Kishimoto?" "The bank of the river, the book of the book." "I don't know the name. What kind of person is Kishimoto?" "A few days ago, when the criminal police from the Yoyogi Police Station came to me to confirm my sister's lighter, they asked me if I knew someone named Kishimoto?" "It seems that Kishimoto has something to do with your sister's case?" "I think so. The detective didn't say anything specific, as if he was suspicious of Kishimoto." "The police seem to speculate that the criminal who killed my sister and the criminal who burglarized Sanada Shimimi's house were all done by acquaintances." According to news reports, the murder of Tokieda Yashiro was committed by an acquaintance. After seducing Shigemi Sanada to go out, he stole the property in the room. If he was not an acquaintance, he would not have been able to complete this deed. Yumiko nodded in agreement. "Both of them are business guests. Maybe one of them is Kishimoto." "Speaking of my sister's guests, I remembered. There was a man named Michio Ashino, do you remember?" "Ashino..." "It's the one who works for 'Medic' Medical Device Sales Co., Ltd." "You mean 'Medik'?" Shingo was so frightened that he almost jumped up. "You know 'Medik'?" "'Medik' is the company where Miwa and Kitahara Miwa work." "Ah, is it such a coincidence?" Yumiko turned pale with shock. "Is that Ashino from 'Medik' a customer of your sister's shop?" "Yeah, Ashino seems to have brought Kishimoto to my sister's shop. I don't know much about Kishimoto. However, Ms. Kitahara is an employee of 'Medik'. Maybe Kitahara knows Kishimoto, right?" "It is possible." Shingo nodded in agreement.Thoughts on this.It used to be thought that the criminals attacked Miwa and Shingo by accident.However, assuming that Kishimoto is a criminal, then there was a relationship between the criminal and the victim before committing the crime.It is very likely that criminals have already set their sights on Meihe. However, Meihe doesn't seem to know the criminal, maybe it's just that the criminal knows Meihe unilaterally. "Mr. Takeura, are you going to report this to the police?" Yumiko stared at Shingo intently. "There is such a plan, it's just..." "What's the matter?" Yumiko asked impatiently. “只是一旦父亲和安井真知子之间产生裂痕，我眼前好像浮现出父亲绝望的样子。” “您父亲正热恋安井真知子吧？” “他完全是成了俘虏，不，是奴隶。而且是心甘情愿的。现在，父亲一旦从安井真知子的奴隶锁链中被解救出来，他还真不知怎么办才好呢。我仿佛看到了他那种被摧残、一筹莫展的模样。” “可是，任凭现在的情况发展下去，您父亲不就成了安井真知子任意宰割的牺牲品了吗？” 由美子的推测：认为真知子的结婚动机并非出自纯洁的爱情。 “是的。我也考虑到让父亲长痛，还不如大刀阔斧，利刀砍乱麻让父亲短痛。父亲原本是酷爱独身自由的，他主张单过，所以才和我们分居的。目前，暂时被真知子蒙骗，迷失了方向。” “不过，也可能无法离开她了。” “这也是我最担心的。父亲若是深陷不能自拔……” “总之，我认为安井真知子拿着北原小姐的胸针，这件事一定要搞清楚吧。如果她和罪犯毫无瓜葛，只是怀疑，那就对不起她了。搞清楚这一点，弄个水落石出，不就舒畅轻松了吗？” “我也同感。父亲现在极端害怕失去她。但是，稀里糊涂地草率结婚，我明白总有一天会破裂的，到那时将给父亲一个致命的打击，我倒认为还不如趁现在做个彻底的大手术。” “我们一起去警察署吧。” 两人坦诚的交谈，使身为被害者的遗属和有关人员的关系，开始融洽，渐渐升华为战友、同志。
