Chapter 10 Chapter 9 A Double Tragedy
The spiritual friendship between Katsuhiko and Yukiko continues.Although Yukiko will provide Katsuhiko with him whenever he needs it, Katsuhiko is afraid of this "need".The relationship between the two is really amazing.From the perspective of others, Ke Yan is a beautiful and beautiful lover who enjoys the blessings of everyone.And she ignored other people's eyes, and looked at each other wholeheartedly.
People who see the two of them will not doubt their "solid" relationship.Yukiko's heart was firmly tied to Katsuhiko.But no matter how strong the spiritual union is, that kind of lover's relationship can't be regarded as going smoothly.
Perhaps it is men's self-righteousness, and they are unwilling to imprint a stamp of confirmation before they are combined with a woman's body.
Katsuhiko and Yukiko have known each other for more than two months. Since then, they have not been able to break through the bottleneck of their relationship, and they still maintain a date to meet once a week.Yukiko is already in the fourth year of university. The university she attends is divided into the first semester and the second semester. Every year, from late January to early February, there is a final exam for the second semester. After the exam, it starts in early April. Spring break.After the spring break, the courses of the previous semester will be carried out.Summer vacation is from mid-July to early September.Since the exam is coming soon after the summer vacation, I can't play too much during the summer vacation.
As soon as September arrives, students are busy photocopying exam materials.After October 20th, there was a one-week cultural festival, and the students were divided into two factions, one group was full of energy and actively participated in the cultural festival activities, and the other group completely ignored the activities.Yukiko seems to belong to the latter.For Yukiko who has entered the adult world, the campus festival activities that ignite "youthful enthusiasm" may make her feel very naive.
Yukiko and Katsuhiko met after university in early February.The spring break, freed from exams, makes female college students feel more relaxed and happy than summer vacation.During this period, it was popular for female college students to travel to hot springs in groups with good friends, or to work wholeheartedly to make money.
Due to the lack of credits, the students of the Department of Literature have a strong idea of studying abroad.Due to the "shameful all-night program" on TV, female college students flock to them and invest in romantic places with short working hours and high income.This is the origin of the nickname of this type of work place as "Cabaret (low-grade hotel) in Chinese", or "French Canbaret Club (night club)".
By the time female college students reach the fourth grade, they become a group of adult women.Except for the "lady" who is particularly hardworking, most of them have a "other half".The other half of female college students (not co-ed), ranging from lovers to pure playmates, or boyfriends of pure spiritual friendship.
The most common way for them to find their other half is to form clubs with male students from other universities and get to know each other in the clubs; secondly, through the introduction of classmates or friends: or they meet at part-time jobs.
The type of "lover relationship" that interacts with social people and receives bonus assistance is still in the minority.
Through the prism of Yukiko's periscope, Katsuhiko carefully observes the nature of modern female students and their way of life.From this point of view, Yukiko is a perfect prism. She has a wide range of contacts and can reflect the common image of female college students.
Katsuhiko learned from Yukiko that the sexual concept of modern young people is very different from his time.People of Katsuhiko's generation (especially men) couldn't wipe away a certain sense of guilt about sex.For them, sex is a kind of taboo, and they should be quietly confined in their dark personal private life.
No matter how much you are a veteran in love, you still have a fear of sex in your heart.Because of this, they pursue sex insatiably, just like seekers of Taoism, they pursue women everywhere.In other words, sex has an "unattainable" value for them.Moreover, the value or drama of sex is extended from it.
However, today's young people don't think sex is such a serious matter.It's not as casual as a handshake, but it's not like Katsuhiko, who regards sex as a taboo or enshrines it on a shrine.Although it cannot be said that all young people are like this, in Ke Yan's impression, more than half of young people regard sex as a common thing.
The encounter between modern young men and women, as long as they call each other physically, they will not resist going to bed.
It feels like men and women have different tools, borrowed from each other and used in conjunction with each other.
In Keyan's era, it was only a purely physical call, and it was difficult to associate it with going to bed; even if he wanted to go to bed with the other party, he would feel a sense of resistance psychologically.Only by overcoming various resistance factors such as ethics, shame, social conventions, and the eyes of others, can it be possible to play the taboo game of sex.Sex was isolated from everyday life at the time.
Modern young people make their own decisions about sex as casually as they decide to eat a hamburger or watch a movie.People in Katsuhiko's age, when they decided to have sex with each other, would definitely fear the eyes of the people around them and public opinion.In other words, the decision to engage in sex is based not on biological needs but on circumstances.
Katsuhiko and Yukiko meet at noon.After the two had lunch together, they wandered around.Sometimes after drinking in this coffee shop, I go to another one.Yukiko knew where the cafe that felt good was located, and she also took Katsuhiko to the cafe as a pleasure.
Pastoral and Tom's Sandwich on Hillside Terrace in Daikanyama, Louiere du Delière in Hiroo, Akane House in Roppongi, Forty-five Degrees in Daizawa, etc. are all Katsuhiko's favorite coffee shops.
Pastoral is a semi-subterranean coffee shop, and the feet of pedestrians walking on the sidewalk can be seen from the windows.
The atmosphere is peaceful and grown-up friendly.The store is often filled with the scent of autumn flowers and plants.
On the contrary, Tom's Sandwich has mostly young customers, and the windows facing the yard can gaze at the trees in the afternoon sun.The disadvantage is that the chair is relatively hard.But it is very suitable for friends who do not need to be polite when they are in a relationship, chatting here and there.It is also a pleasure to chat and observe each other while chatting.The exterior of the Louyere du Delière café has the style of a Parisian street, and the interior decoration has a Tokyo style.Akane House Cafe is often crowded, so it is not suitable to wait for people here; but the coffee is mellow and delicious.Especially late at night, the store naturally presents an elegant atmosphere.
The most exciting thing is the forty-five-degree cafe (written as 45°), the roof, walls and steps are all carefully designed to be forty-five degrees.
The appearance of 45° looks like a beautiful villa facing the Mediterranean Sea. Keyan only goes there at night.In the small residential area of Setagaya, suddenly squeezed into a white villa, which looked like the residence of a foreign ambassador mixed in.When climbing the steps across the front yard, you can see a door on the entrance that seems to reject people thousands of miles away.As soon as the doorbell was pressed, a black woman came out to greet her.
There are two elegant rooms in the store, but they are often full.Palm trees are planted in the atrium, and the whole building is full of southern European atmosphere.The store is very spacious, and a lot of money has been spent on the interior design, which is matched with high-end furniture to present an aristocratic style.The middle-aged manager wore a black dress similar to that of a butler, pretended to be indifferent, and walked in the store with his head held high.This is very similar to the style of urbanites, and it also seems a bit vulgar.Polarized with Tom's Sandwich.
This coffee shop has the abstractness of not knowing what it is selling, and a very strong upper-class quality.But when Katsuhiko and Yukiko are together, there is a sense of stability, which is certain.
Katsuhiko and Yukiko don't watch movies or go to concerts because they don't have enough time.When the two were together, time passed very quickly, and the topics were endless.No amount of time is enough.
After a meal and a walk, they both head to the hotel to get a room.It's not for sharing the same bed, but I just hope that the two of them can be alone without being disturbed by outsiders.
"Like us, we often go in and out of the hotel. If someone sees it, there will be a misunderstanding." Ke Yan said with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter if you are misunderstood!" Yukiko showed a surprised expression, as if asking the other party, why are you still saying such things at this time?
"I don't know if this matter will trouble you?"
"Not at all! I'm afraid it will cause trouble to you, teacher?"
"It doesn't matter to me! But you are an unmarried lady, if you go to a hotel like an old man like me, if someone sees you, wouldn't it be terrible?"
"Teacher, this sentence doesn't sound like what you said in the past. No matter whether I did anything in the room or not, if I felt a lump in my heart, I wouldn't come to the hotel to open a room with you in the first place."
After Yukiko said that, Katsuhiko had nothing to say.Now that he entered the secret room of the hotel with a man, whether he did anything in the room is no longer a problem.Since in this place, full tolerance is expressed for men, the stage of misunderstanding has also been passed.However, from Katsuhiko's standpoint, he couldn't respond to Yukiko's promise to him. That kind of remorse made him want to stop at the stage of misunderstanding alone and refute the eyes of the world.Although he knew that this refutation was of no help at all, he still insisted on it.This is the psychology of his deep love for Yukiko.
The two sometimes enjoy meals facing each other in the hotel room, chatting all over the world while eating.Katsuhiko gathered the concerns of modern female college students, the feelings of young people and social morality from the chat.And Yukiko asked Katsuhiko about political, economic and international issues with great interest.It was a kind of "exchange of ideas".
Katsuhiko was amazed that a girl in her best period who only cared about the latest fashions, trivial things and cosmetics around her would be interested in international political strategies and the inside story of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union.He felt that the flower in front of him had a solid and strong heart.
She has very deep roots in the things she cares about, and sometimes the questions she asks are so sharp that Ke Yan can't stand it.The vision of eyes closed because of love also captures scenes other than love in many ways.
After spending their beautiful time alone in this way, the time has come for the two to break up.Ke Yan felt as if he was falling asleep while sitting in a car passing by the best scenery in the world.Although it is not a very luxurious and elegant atmosphere, if you don't grasp the moment tightly, you will definitely miss no matter how wonderful the scenery is.After you miss it, it's too late to regret it.
Now Yukiko is dating him at Katsuhiko's convenience, but one day, she will definitely leave in front of him.Even if she has no intention of doing so, one day, she will leave him because of the things around her.Ke Yan has no power, nor is he qualified to keep her.
Yukiko seemed very content with a date like this with Katsuhiko.She is only twenty-one years old, but she is very familiar with high-end places.The places she takes him to are different every time, such as traditional restaurants, restaurants and bistros with personality, and cafes with strong cultural atmosphere.If her boyfriends were the ones who took her to these places, they must have considerable financial resources.The income from writing must be used for living expenses, funds and taxes, and the limited resources on hand sometimes make me breathless.
Ke Yan occasionally wants to give her unique gifts, but it is really inconvenient at hand.He had done everything he could to finance the date and had no money left for presents.But Yukiko has plenty of money and doesn't have anything in particular she wants.She grew up in an affluent environment, and she doesn't seem to be so attached to things.
From Yukiko's clothes, it is natural to see the affluence of her living environment.Although the clothes on her are not very gorgeous, it can be felt that they are all one-of-a-kind clothes with delicate texture.
The two met in February, when the footsteps of spring came again with the departure of winter.Women have disarmed the heavy armor against the cold, and it is also the season for them to become more and more beautiful.
In the past, Katsuhiko was very envious of the women walking on the streets of Kasuga with skirts full of dreams fluttering, and his eyes were full of material desire.However, this spring, he had no such thoughts at all.When walking down the street with Yukiko in a breezy spring outfit, not only men but also women focus their attention on them.
At this moment, Ke Yan was so pleased with himself that he couldn't help being happy.Being strongly attracted by Yukiko, this alone made him lean towards danger, and now he has stepped into the abyss of danger and cannot extricate himself.Katsuhiko deeply understands that sooner or later he will have to pay a huge price for this matter, but now he still schedules seeing Yukiko at least once a week into his daily schedule, and this is the core of his life .
The cherry blossoms are falling, and the whole street is waiting for the arrival of the cherry blossoms.When the interest in traveling was high, Yukiko told Katsuhiko that she wanted to travel.
"Hey! Will your parents allow you to go?" Ke Yan was taken aback, because she had never stayed overnight in a hotel when they were dating in the past.The fact that they haven't spent a single night together is probably the main thing preventing them from reaching a sexual union.
"I want to go to a place where you can watch the tide with you, Sensei, and spend it leisurely."
"However, you will be in a hurry to come back that day!"
"Of course I want to stay overnight!"
"Will your parents agree?"
"I'll figure it out."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll make up an excuse to go on a trip with a few friends or attend a seminar with a group discussion."
"Will your parents believe that reason?"
"No problem!"
Katsuhiko was inexplicably excited at the thought of spending the night at a hotel where he could watch the waves of the sea with Yukiko.
"I know there is a very good hotel in Yiyi Mountain, and I want to go there to play."
"Izuyama? Good!" Katsuhiko replied happily.
Katsuhiko thought, if it was Mount Izu, the distance would be just right.There are still a few novels being serialized, and I can't go to places that are too far away.Although it is also possible to take the manuscript to travel places to write, but finally had this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel with Yukiko, and he did not want to let work ruin this wonderful time.
"You can see the sea from the open-air bath! The view of fishing and fire on the sea at night is very beautiful. I want to watch it with you, Sensei."
Just thinking of this, Ke Yan jumped up unconsciously.
"Is there a bath for men and women there?"
"Men and women have separate sex time."
"So we can't take a shower together!"
"No one will come in the middle of the night. Under the starry moonlight, the only thing I can hear is the voice of Haitao. I have always wanted to go there with you, Sensei." Yukiko said, looking into the distance.
In the open-air bath connected to the fishing fire in the middle of the night, Yukiko is like a mermaid, swimming in the water, and through the swaying heat on the bath surface, you can see the twinkling stars in the distance.This is the picture in Ke Yan's fantasy, but there is a big gap from the environmental conditions he is in, so he never thinks that he can actually experience that charming scenery.
However, this phantom is about to be turned into reality by Yukiko.
"When can we go?" Ke Yan started to walk towards the real scene.
"Well! Let's avoid this golden week and go on May 10. What do you think?"
"Then what about your homework at school?"
"I'm in the fourth grade now. I don't have to go to school every day. It doesn't matter if I don't go to school for two or three days. It's nothing to take a day or two off. The most important thing is you, teacher! You won't have any problems, right?"
"Me! You are the main one. At this moment, I am really glad that I am a freelancer and can freely adjust my working hours."
"Then we've made a deal! Stay for two nights on May 10th and 11th. Wow—it's great! I'm so happy to be able to travel with you, teacher, and I'm a little scared.”
"I feel panic! But, can you really come out?" Ke Yan is still worried now.If my daughter Ayuko told me that she was going on a trip and would stay outside for two nights, from the standpoint of her father, she would definitely ask her to provide a strong proof.
"Among my friends, someone will provide me with an alibi."
"Alibi?"
"My group of friends would make an alibi when they were traveling or sleeping out with their lovers or boyfriends. When the parents asked, we would all be in unison to help her out."
"But if that person is not in the home of the person who provided the alibi, wouldn't the matter be exposed?"
"Usually, it is pretending to go on a trip with classmates, and her older sister or younger sister is at home. As long as everyone speaks for her in unison, parents will always feel at ease. However, few parents will go to provide an alibi Ask someone to clarify."
"And what about your parents?"
"Probably not, because they trust me."
"If it comes out, then you have no excuse."
Katsuhiko has a daughter who is the same age as Yukiko, and he once imagined that if he goes to a hot spring with someone else's daughter, what will happen to the other's parents when they find out?It was a thrilling scene inversely proportional to the joy of traveling with Yukiko.Under that kind of situation, all arguments and explanations were not allowed, the only thing she could do was to fall on the ground and apologize to her parents.Even if you apologize, you may not be able to get forgiveness from the other party's parents.
Since he has a daughter of the same age as the other party's daughter, Ke Yan's behavior can be said to be even worse.
If Ke Yan knew that his daughter was being used as a plaything by an old man in his fifties with a wife, he would never forgive him.Why I can't forgive the other party is still unknown. The only thing that is certain is that no matter how much the other party asks me to forgive him, I will never forgive him.
But the new name Katsuhiko is his father, and at the same time he is a man.He loves Kitazawa Yukiko, he used to be a captive under the hormones that Kiko could capture all men, but now she occupies a very important place in his heart.Even though this love affair can't make him take responsibility, but because it happened so suddenly, the roots of Aimiao have become deeper and deeper.
Under the temptation to travel with Yukiko, his rationality and fear (for fear of being known by the other's parents) have also been paralyzed.A person who can resist this temptation is not a man.
That night, after Katsuhiko sent Yukiko back home, when he returned home, he saw his wife's expression was very strange, her attitude was different from usual, and she seemed restless.Since Katsuhiko had done something wrong, he felt uneasy, wondering if Yukiko's incident had been exposed.However, this is not the first time that she has been involved with a woman.In terms of Katsuhiko's profession, there is nothing he can do about interacting with women to a certain extent.His wife had already figured this out.Ke Yan hurriedly entered (escaped into) the study.
"Honey, I have something I want to talk to you about." His wife chased after her and said solemnly.
"What's the matter? I'm busy with work, let's talk about it another day!" Ke Yan deliberately escaped.
"It's about our daughter Ayuko."
"Ciaozi?" Hearing what his wife said, Ke Yan realized that he hadn't seen his daughter all day today.As the daughters grow up, they each have their own work and rest time. Although they live under the same roof, they sometimes don't see each other.
"What's the matter with Caizi?" Ke Yan then let his wife enter the study.He suddenly understood that it turned out that his wife followed her to the study because she didn't want her daughters to hear the conversation between the couple.
"Today I want to borrow a book from Ayuko and go to her room. When I was looking for a book, I accidentally bumped into her leather bag on the table, and the whole bag fell on the floor, and the contents of the bag were scattered. It came out, but among them..." The wife was speechless, as if recalling the scene that shocked her at that time.
"What's in it?" Ke Yan dismissed the flashing association in his mind, and hurriedly urged his wife to continue talking.
"There was an IUD in it, I couldn't believe it. I thought she was a good baby, but... I was really hit hard."
"You said it was a contraceptive device?" Ke Yan moaned.For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Recently, she comes home later and later, I feel very strange. Look, what should I do about this matter?" Ke Yan's thinking ability has been slackened, and even though his wife asked him, he didn't know what to do?
"You talk, don't be silent."
Under the urging of his wife, Ke Yan finally spoke: "What do you do with the contraceptive device?"
"I thought about how to deal with it, but after thinking about it, I put it back in the purse for the time being."
"Well! Better do it. If she knows we're aware of it, she'll keep everything a secret from now on."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"I really can't find any way other than to look at the situation temporarily."
"How do you say such lack of courage, your daughter is not married yet!"
"Even so, we can't ask her coldly. Because we haven't found out who the other party is, maybe she's just out of curiosity and having fun."
"Would you be carrying something like that just out of curiosity?"
"Young people these days are very open, and it's not surprising that they carry that kind of thing just in case."
"If you don't have a partner, you shouldn't need to be just in case. Husband, are you really going to ignore him like this?"
"Ciaozi is twenty-one years old this year. She is already an adult. She should be sensible about her behavior."
"I can't be as calm as you! Ayuko is still a student, has no social experience at all, and doesn't have the vision to pick men. What are you going to do if you are seduced by a man with a wife, a gangster, or a prisoner?"
Under his wife's questioning, although Ke Yan said "No way!", he was really shocked in his heart.Yukiko and Ayuko were the same age, twenty-one years old this year, and just as his wife said, he was seduced by a man with a family.For the questioning and persuasion of her parents, if she preaches "this is fate or love is beyond the understanding of outsiders", I am afraid that she will be speechless.
Ke Yan moaned silently.He didn't expect that his relationship with Yukiko would be counterattacked in this way.
"In short..." Ke Yan took a breath and said, "We must find out who Ayuko's partner is? At present, we can only pretend not to know about it. If we let her interact with the other party secretly, we will not find any clues gone."
"So, how can we find out who the other party is?"
"See who calls, writes, or sends gifts to Ayuko from time to time? Or from Ayuko's things, diaries, photo albums, etc., maybe you can find out who the other party is?"
"She has several boyfriends!"
"Doesn't she have a particularly close boyfriend?" In Ke Yan's mind, the man who was not young next to the girl who looked very similar to Ayuko that he saw in Roppongi appeared.Maybe that girl is really Ayuko.
"I don't know! But, they are all classmates who play together!"
"Is there anything strange about Ayuko recently? For example, although we didn't buy it for her, she is wearing luxurious clothes or expensive accessories."
"Sometimes she wears a new dress, but that child is very interested in clothes. From the past, when she sees clothes she likes, she buys them without thinking about the price."
"However, if she wants to buy clothes, she should be desperate to ask you for pocket money!"
"Ok!"
"If you don't ask for pocket money, and the number of clothes increases, it's the man who bought it for her."
In that case, that man is not a student!Ayuko is a person who knows how to dress well, and only wears clothes with good taste.If the other party is a student, you can't afford clothes that satisfy her.Katsuhiko reappeared the shadow of the man he saw in Roppongi.His age alone is enough to show that he is a person with rich life experience and financial resources.
"I don't know what to do anymore?" The wife said with a bewildered expression.
"We might as well check her room while Ayuko is away. The first problem is to find out who the other party is, and then study countermeasures. Judging from Ayuko wearing a contraceptive device, we can know that the two of them did not meet recently Don't make this matter public, lest Liuzi become wary."
"You want to check her room? Even if it's a daughter's room, it can't be like a cat sneaking in!"
"What are you talking about! It was the cat that sneaked in that stole our daughter." Katsuhiko scolded his wife, and at the same time felt that he was another cat that sneaked into Yukiko's house and stole her.
The next day, after confirming that Ayuko had gone to school, Katsuhiko and his wife began an "in-depth inspection" in their daughter's room.Katsuhiko had never been to Ayuko's room.Although Ayuko is his own daughter, Ayuko is already full of the atmosphere of the opposite sex after adulthood, so Katsuhiko is also taboo to enter her room.There was a scent in her room that was repulsive to people thousands of miles away, which made him, a father, feel quite oppressed.
"I'm always on edge!" said the wife.In fact, not only his wife, but Ke Yan himself felt deeply disturbed.Although they knew that Ayuko was not at home, they held their breath and tiptoed around her room looking for evidence.
She looks like a student with textbooks and reference books in her bookshelves.But the three-way mirror and the cosmetics placed in front of the mirror are also considered adult things.Printed curtains with peduncles and stuffed dolls are adorable around the bed.Perhaps it was because of the guilty relationship between Katsuhiko and his wife, they felt that standing quietly in the corner of the room, the CD stereo set purchased by Ayuko with pocket money saved, seemed to be helping the master to monitor the intruder's movements.No, not just the CD combo, but even the adorable stuffed animals, which looked like they were blaming them both.
They check the desk drawers first.The desk is organized in an orderly manner, and there seems to be nothing strange.There are report paper, stationery, note paper, paper clips, snapshots, etc. in the drawer, each placed in a fixed place.
Ke Yan's own messy drawers can't be compared with his daughter's.
The snapshot seems to have been taken with her classmates on campus or at a dinner party. In her letters, there is no trace of a man writing to her.
"I can't find anything special." The wife said with a sigh of relief.
"She doesn't keep things where they can be found. Is there a locked place?"
"Are you going to pick the lock?"
"I just want to copy a key, open it and have a look."
"Anyway, what you're doing is going too far."
"In order to protect my daughter, there is no other way."
"It seems that there is no locked place!"
"Ayuko won't realize that we've searched her room, will she?"
"How could it be! She shouldn't find out."
"Let's open the drawers in the wardrobe and the three-way mirror too!"
"Enough! Enough! Just check here."
"If you don't want to, then I will come alone." Under Ke Yan's insistence, his wife reluctantly continued to search the room.
"Oops!" The wife who was checking the clothes in the closet let out a slight exclamation.
"What did you find?" Ke Yan, who was starting to feel a little tired, looked in his wife's direction, only to see that his wife was picking up a piece of paper that fell from the closet to the floor.
"What is this?" said the wife.
"Bring me to see, show me to see!" Ke Yan took the piece of paper from his wife's hand.It was a notebook-sized card, folded like a postcard.
"Isn't this the hotel card?" Ke Yan stared at the card and said.
"Accommodation card?" His wife asked visiting.
"It's a card issued by the hotel to the hotel guests. It records the room number, accommodation fee, and the guidebook in the hotel."
"The name on it is Suzuki Kyoko!"
"Maybe Ayuko is using a pseudonym."
"How could Ayuko have such a card?" His wife looked at Katsuhiko's expression anxiously.
This question doesn't need to be asked at all.This card was for a newly opened hotel in Roppongi, and Katsuhiko had never been there.From the room number, it is hard to tell whether it is a single room or a double room, but the accommodation fee is 23,000 yen, and the column of the number of people clearly records one M (male) and one F (female). Noriko's first date in Roppongi is the same day.
Finally found the evidence that made Ayuko nowhere to escape.Ayuko, under the pseudonym Suzuki Kyoko, went to a hotel or "rested" with the man.The girl I met in Roppongi a few days ago was indeed Ayuko.The person who went to the hotel with her must be the older man Ke Yan saw at the time.The date of going to the hotel is also the same.Judging from the fact that Ayuko has to use a pseudonym when going to the hotel, the other party is not someone who can be settled by ordinary methods.
"Husband, Ayuko really..." His wife saw the clue from Ke Yan's expression.
"Well! There's basically nothing wrong with her dealings with men."
"Then what should I do?" asked the wife anxiously.
"I'll ask that hotel to find out who the man is. Since I'm using a pseudonym, I don't think it will be so easy to find out."
"What will happen if you force Ayuko?"
"Forcing her is not a good way, because we haven't found out what kind of man the other party is. If we start to scare the snake, the cat that sneaked in by the other party will abscond."
"What if it's too late?"
"What do you mean it's too late? If you go to a hotel with a man, you're no longer a virgin, and she's prepared a contraceptive. So, basically, you don't have to worry about her getting pregnant."
While comforting his disturbed wife, Katsuhiko realized that he was actually afraid of starting a confrontation with his daughter Ayoko.If you fight against Ayuko, you must face your relationship with Yukiko directly.This was something he was deeply afraid of.
His relationship with Yukiko will be revealed sooner or later.Perhaps her parents already knew about it.I am over half a century old, and I have accumulated a lot of dirt in my life. How can I have the face to borrow Yukiko's theory of fate as an excuse to justify my old-young relationship?
In short, if he wanted to confront his daughter, the words he said to his wife, "I'll talk to you after finding out who the other party is" would be turned on him without any changes.
Katsuhiko went to the hotel to inquire.As expected, the room Kyoko Suzuki used was a twin room.And that girl's characteristics were exactly the same as Ayuko's, and the address recorded on the tenant's registration card had nothing to do with where Katsuhiko lived.The hotel stipulates that the guest registration card cannot be viewed by anyone other than the person himself.But because the counter clerk is also a reader of Katsuhiko, knowing that Katsuhiko is tracking down the details of his daughter's boyfriend, he also sympathetically assists him.According to the counter clerk's impression, the man's features were the same as the man Katsuhiko saw in the "Clark" cafe.However, there was no clue about the man's life experience and origin left in the hotel. "Kyoko Suzuki" and that man had only been to this hotel once, and it was only for an afternoon break.
It seems that they didn't go to the same hotel in order not to leave any clues.This kind of financial ability is not possessed by ordinary office workers or students. Obviously, that man has a considerable status in society.
Katsuhiko was particularly annoyed that he himself did the same thing with other people's daughters.Perhaps because he was doing the same thing, he had a better understanding of the other party's cunning and bad mentality, so that he was furious and furious.
"Never forgive the other party's behavior!" Ke Yan said angrily in his heart.
However, I am not a professional detective, and the clues I can find are limited.It is impossible to track Ayuko's whereabouts. The word "following" gave Ke Yan an inspiration.
Under the introduction of a writer friend, Katsuhiko entrusts a private detective agency to help investigate the origin of Ayuko's boyfriend.According to his friends, that detective agency is the most reputable one in Tokyo.
