Heitaro squatted in the kitchen smoking.It was nearly twelve o'clock.The wife fell asleep in it.Although Heitaro came back forty minutes ago, she didn't even pick up the connection.This has become commonplace. Heitaro sat restlessly in the kitchen, casually pulling an unwashed dirty dish as an ashtray.Usually, he never comes to the kitchen.There is a dormitory area nearby, so it is very quiet at night.All the lights in the house have been turned off, only this kitchen is still on.This was opened by Heitaro after he came back. There was the sound of parking in front of the next door.Heitaro's expression suddenly became tense.Judging from the sound of the car, it was a taxi, not a high-end car. If it was a high-end car, the sound would be softer.After the sound of the door being slammed shut, the car drove away.Judging from the driver's actions, it is also a taxi.Tonight, Heitaro was slightly relieved that the woman had not returned with a man.But he immediately thought again, he can't believe it easily, because it is also possible for a woman to send a man halfway and then change to a taxi.

Heitaro listened carefully.Two minutes passed, and the cigarette between his fingers turned into long strands of ash. He was worried that a woman's scream would come soon, so he waited with his face tensed.Even squatting, he couldn't calm down. Ten minutes had passed, and the woman's scream had not yet come.When another kind of uneasiness came to my heart, there was the sound of the neighbor next door opening the door.Heitaro finally felt relieved, and sat down paralyzed.Only then did he flick off the ash and put the cigarette in his mouth.Although I didn't take a puff just now, the smoke has been shortened a lot.

At this time, the glass door of the kitchen was tapped with fingertips.Heitaro had already opened the back door ahead of time.The lights are on in the kitchen, which is also intentionally prepared for visitors. Heitaro stood up and opened the small door next to the entrance.Before that, he listened to the movement at home, but he didn't hear anyone getting up. Heitaro went out and saw two men standing in the darkness.The light in the kitchen, through the frosted glass, faintly shone on half of the tall man's face.It turned out to be Inoue and Okamura.They are all private bodyguards hired by the Ginza head office, and all the prizes of the store are entrusted to the "North Village Gang" where they work.

Seeing Heitaro coming out, Inoue smiled. "Boss!" he whispered, "Scared that slut." The little man Okamura shook the small bottle in his hand, making a splashing sound. "It made her face pale with fright." He said. "Didn't you overdo it?" Heitaro asked. "No, just showed her the vial and didn't touch it at all. Anyway, when this thing is spilled, it's the end of the woman! The face is full of scars, the skin shrinks, like an atomic bomb victim, leaving an ugly face Keloids." "Boss!" Inoue interjected, "I think she will be warm to you in the near future. Just like Okamura said, because she is afraid of this move. We told her clearly that if she does something wrong again, she can use this at any time. Wash her face!"

"What did the woman say?" "Shivering and trembling, just nodding vigorously." Heitaro reached into the back pocket of his trousers and took out two pre-prepared paper packets. "You guys have worked hard!" "I will always take care of you, thank you. If there is anything else, please tell me!" "I'll trouble you when the time comes... Oh, don't tell others." "Understood. You rest!" "goodbye!" After sending the two of them off, Heitaro closed the back door and the side door of the kitchen.When he took off his clogs to turn off the light and entered the kitchen, he stopped in surprise.His wife, Sadako, stood there in her pajamas.A white light shone on her head.

Sadako stared intently at Heitaro who entered. "What are you doing here?" Heitaro asked as calmly as possible. "Someone is here." Sadako asked in a hoarse voice.Her undressed face looked ugly even in the dim light.The eyebrows are light, and the wrinkles are more obvious.There are thick shadows on the thin cheeks.Only the eyes staring at Heitaro were shining. "Ah, here comes an acquaintance." Heitaro replied. "Acquaintance? Who is it?" Zhenyu asked provocatively.Heitaro said in a rough voice, "You don't know if you tell me!" His wife snorted contemptuously, "Don't make a fool of yourself, you're making people laugh."

"What a fool! It's just an acquaintance who has something to do!" "Ghost knows what's going on with you! Is it the woman next door's business?" "Stop talking nonsense!" "Are you still obsessed with that woman? You are so old, why don't you know the depth! The neighbors are talking about you! As soon as I go out, they look around like a trick, and laugh contemptuously Me. Where do I put my face!" "When will you wake up? It's such a waste of time, you are still kept in the dark, the other party is not sincere at all, her goal is money."

"It's disgusting!" Heitaro roared, "Go to sleep!" "Hmph, think I fell asleep just now! In fact, I know exactly when you came back and what you did here." "Really annoying!" After saying that, Heitaro left his wife and walked to the corridor. Suddenly, he felt his weight shifted to the belt behind him, and he staggered a bit.It turned out that Sadako was grabbing his belt with his hands and dragging him backwards. "What are you going to do?" "Why are you running away? Well, let's make it clear tonight!" "Oh, it's so annoying!"

Heitaro grabbed Sadako's chest with one hand and pushed hard.With a loud splash, Sadako fell to the ground.Heitaro deliberately walked away slowly, and Sadako yelled like an animal and hugged one of his legs.After she fell to the ground, she crawled and chased after her. "Okay, how dare you fight! You are not a human, you are a ghost!" Sadako hugged Heitaro's leg tightly, for fear that he would slip away immediately.He took a few steps recklessly.Sadako's body was dragged along the corridor. "brute!" Heitaro kicked the hugged leg back cruelly.Sadako's body rolled in the corridor, knocking down the paper door next to her.There was the sound of falling objects in the room.

The maid who slept in the far room seemed to open the paper door for a look, but quickly closed the paper door again. Sadako cried and curled up on the ground. Heitaro returned to his room, but his mood could not be calm for a long time. ——I must break up with my wife as soon as possible, and live with Wenzi after breaking up. Heitaro thought while pacing on the tatami. ——After breaking up with my wife, Wenzi will probably seriously consider the issue of living with me! The wife walked over hurriedly. ——I mistook the target of revenge with sulfuric acid. I should sprinkle sulfuric acid on my wife's face.No, no, if she did that, she might still refuse to divorce me.Why is she not dead!
