"Last night, your house seemed very restless!" Fumiko squinted at Heitaro mockingly. "Did you hear it all?" Heitaro lowered his eyelids. "In the middle of the night, such a loud noise, of course I heard it." "Have you been out in the yard?" "No, I'm not like you. I just opened the window and listened for a while. I don't know what's going on. I just heard the sound of falling on the floor." "..." "Madam! What caused it?" "Because of you, there was a small dispute." "Does your wife still have a grudge against me?"

"She's always been careful." "I can't help it. It's your fault, you keep pestering me. You probably told your wife that you want to break up with me, right?" "..." "So, it's only natural for Madam to make trouble with you." "But she also made such a fuss that she looked like a madman." "This proves that your wife loves you!" Hearing what Wenzi said, Heitaro couldn't help but laugh. "It's not like that. She's quite an old fox, and she's jealous." "What are you going to do about your wife?"

"I'm ready to part with her!" "Then, why didn't you stay with me earlier? Isn't that what we agreed on in the first place?" "If you say that, I really have nothing to say. But my wife won't break up with me. She knows about you and me, so she's deliberately making trouble." "You are too unfortunate. Why can't everything go as you wish? Speaking of which, you are almost fifty! There are not many years to live. It is really boring to spend the rest of your life under the restraint of your wife. Until you die , this kind of life is over. Don't you want to have a better time?"

"Needless to say, I often think so. That's why I want to know your real intentions." Heitaro took Fumiko's hand again. "I heard rumors that you seem to be related to other men. I really can't understand your mind, so I couldn't drive my wife away quickly." "The problem is your wife. I don't plan to be with you until you drive your wife away. Because I have to think about face." "So, what do you say?" "First of all, you have to separate from your wife." Heitaro complained incessantly.It wouldn't be such a nerve-wracking thing if it could be done easily.When talking about divorce with that kind of woman, I don't know how crazy she will be.Her madness is both vulgar and terrifying.My wife is jealous and her head is swelling. I really don't know what she will do when I am asleep.Maybe she will kill herself with a sharp knife in her hand.

"This matter," Heitaro said timidly, "is very tricky." "If you say that, there will be no leader. In the end, you and I still have to go back and forth with your wife. I thank you for taking care of me in many ways. However, I can't make up my mind if the things around you haven't been dealt with cleanly. .I am no longer the old Fumiko Kui. Now, my private life is also under the attention of the press.” "..." "I told you this before, because your wife is here, it doesn't matter if it goes on like this. However, the me at that time is different from the me now. From my current standpoint, I don't want people to talk about me behind my back. Bad words. No, there's a lot of people out there trying to kick me down with a thing like that."

"..." "In short, as long as your wife doesn't leave you, I have nothing to do. You only know how to test my intentions, but how are you? Don't you plan to break up with your wife at all?" "Okay!" Heitaro said excitedly, "I didn't know you thought about me this way. If you really think that way in your heart, I will make up my mind to do it." "What you mean by making up your mind to do, do you mean breaking up with your wife?" "Yes, but it won't be soon. She's the sort of woman you know. It'll take time, I'm afraid."

"yes." Fumiko Kui looked at Heitaro's face silently. Her expression showed that she had something to say, but couldn't say it. "How can I do it?" Heitaro said as he tugged at his thinning hair. "Just let me kill her." Wenzi stared at Heitaro for a while, then asked: "This is real?" "Well, it's true. I really want to kill her." "If you really think so, there are ways." "You said there is a way?" Heitaro looked a little embarrassed. "You can't be separated from Madam, and you say you don't want to leave me. You are too self-serving. If you always please Madam, God knows when we will be able to live together. Others have courage, Divorce will be negotiated soon."

"That's true. But my wife is hysterical. If the divorce is not discussed well, she will go crazy, and she may kill me while I am asleep." "Really, is it so dangerous?" "Very likely. It would be nice if my wife died sooner." "Oh, if that's the case, can't you let her die?" "Let her die?" Heitaro looked at Fumiko in shock.Wenzi stared straight at the ashtray. "However, if the matter is exposed, you will go to jail. Of course, there are also those who are only summoned by the police and then released. There are also such methods."

"any solution?" "For example... For example, you and your wife fell in love to death together." "what?" "It's all a hypothesis, don't take it seriously, okay?" "Ah, ah." "For example, you and your wife are both drinking poison. It means that the two are dead in love. There are many motives, and you can choose them. What family is at odds or career is not going well." "..." "You can't establish a business if it's not going well. All the shops are going smoothly. That kind of thing, the more money you have, the more you want to play."

"If you hide from one thing to another, there will be no end to it. It is impossible to solve the problem without taking decisive measures. Therefore, if you want to let the lady die, you will suffer yourself. You want to feel comfortable , without hurting a hair, how can you do it, you have to face the test of life and death." "So, you mean with a knife?" "How can it be!" Wenzi replied, "Medicine, take medicine." "medicine?" "You want to kill Madam and then scar yourself. I'm afraid it can't be done, right? Therefore, you two need to drink the same medicine."

"In that case, wouldn't I die too?" "You fool! Trick the medicine, will you? Let the lady drink the real poison. You only drink the poison that looks like the poison. But it has to be so realistic that it's hard to tell the real from the fake. Aspirin also." "So, what is the real poison?" "Potassium hydrocyanate. It looks exactly the same on the surface, and it works as soon as you drink it." "But, I have no reason for the couple to die in love." "Making it up. Your pinball shop is booming and your money is prosperous. But on the other hand, the relationship between husband and wife is not good. Making money is not the highest happiness. Therefore, it is very reasonable to write this as a suicide note. Your husband and wife are not on good terms, and the maid knows, Neighbors know about it, so the police will believe it." "..." "This is the only way. The medicine is prepared by me." Heitaro was taken aback when Fumiko said that she would prepare the medicine.The so-called medicine is potassium hydrocyanate.He didn't expect this woman to say such a thing. What surprised Heitaro was not Fumiko's courage, but how meticulously she thought about herself. However, once this trick of pretending to be dead in love fails, the police will definitely come forward to deal with it.At that time, the origin of the poison was bound to become one of the focuses of investigation.Wenzi may not be aware of this danger. No, she was quick-witted, and she must have said that after considering the consequences in advance.That is to say, she is aware of the danger. Heitaro thought, I will never implicate this woman.Although he still doesn't know how she obtained the medicine, he is not untrustworthy. "No, no need," he said. "I don't want you to do it. I'll do it myself!" After hearing this, Wenzi said "ah" and lowered his head. "can you?" "There is a relationship, you can try it." "However, I heard that the inspection of that thing is very strict, so don't be careless." "Understood." Heitaro said complacently, "There is a worker who comes to that shop in Shibuya every day. He is a pinball fan. He seems to work in a certain factory, but he often misses work to play pinball. He is a bit different. Love Closely speaking, the boss often took the initiative to talk to me. After a long time, I got to know him well. After inquiring, he used to work in a large printing company. He was not engaged in picking up characters, but in making plates." "Understood." Wen Yu said, "Potassium hydrocyanate is an essential raw material for plate making..." "You know a lot." "Last time, when my collection of works was published, the photographic plate was very dirty, so I asked them to redo it. At that time, I had roughly inquired about the plate-making process, so I knew that potassium hydrocyanate was the raw material for plate-making. " "According to the worker," Heitaro said, "potassium hydrocyanate was shipped in straw bales. After it was shipped, it was piled aside casually." "Oh, isn't it dangerous?" "The workers are aware of this situation, so it is not particularly dangerous. However, just hearing about it makes people shudder. It is said that just a little ear picking spoon is enough to kill a person." "Exactly. It is said that more than 0.15 grams is the lethal dose. That's less than half of the ear digging spoon." "Let me find a way to get that kind of medicine. It's dangerous for someone like you to entrust someone to make it... I don't want you to be in such a dangerous situation." Fumiko looked up at Heitaro intently, and said: "You are a good person!" "yes?" "Of course it is. Therefore, I sympathize with you... It is also a misfortune that the business is booming and the wealth is prosperous?" Maybe it's just bad luck.Hearing Fumiko's words, Heitaro's heart was full of emotions. In the past, when life was difficult and driven by others, my biggest wish was to save a little.At first they set up a stall selling grilled chicken in the Kameari area. At that time, when his wife was entertaining customers, he was fanning the stove, grilling kebabs, carrying water and so on.Sometimes, one day's income is not enough for him to pay for a drink. Soon, with a little savings.It happened that a South Korean wanted to transfer the pachinko shop, so he bought it cruelly.Fortunately, the number of pinball machines has been expanded from ten to twenty, and then from twenty to thirty.Savings also increased. In the future, the business will continue to develop. The wife was so happy that tears filled her eyes, she even said excitedly, don't be greedy, you can earn less in the future. However, with the development to the present, Heitaro always feels a ray of loneliness and melancholy covering his heart.Of course, this has nothing to do with being close to Wenzi.Before that, he had had conflicts with his wife because of women. Heitaro naturally has his own reasons.In his words, when he got to his seat today, he found that there were women who were more in line with his wishes than his wife.That is to say, with the prosperity of the business, his field of vision has also been continuously expanded. Heitaro is estranged from his current wife. When he got Wenzi, his feelings for his wife changed fundamentally. "You are so pitiful!" Heitaro, who was in deep thought, suddenly heard Fumiko's voice. "Huh? What did you say?" Heitaro raised his eyes. "I'm right! Even if you break up with your wife, you can't achieve your goal without such a dangerous method, right?" His wife has a different personality from ordinary women. When it comes to divorce, she will immediately become an irrational lunatic. She must think that Heitaro lived with Fumiko after he broke up with her. In fact, that's exactly what he planned, so he couldn't be justified. When life was difficult, Heitaro once thought that with money, the family life must be very happy and become an unparalleled happy family.Divorce of couples in the world is caused by poverty. However, now that the money is available, the relationship between the couple is much more distant than when life was hard. "You probably haven't made up your mind to break up with Madam! If you really break up, you still have to give Madam some property?" "My wife," Heitaro said, "doesn't agree with this division. As long as I can be with you, I don't care about money or anything... If she agrees to break up, I plan to give her a whole shop, even in Ginza Shibuya is fine too. I told her that, but she said she wasn't interested in business, and she didn't agree with such a division at all." "What a bitch!" There was a cold smile on the corner of Wenzi's mouth. "You can share the money and own such a prosperous shop. You can be as extravagant as you want. If a woman has money, all kinds of men will surround her. If your wife finds a man she likes, how happy it will be what." Heitaro's gaze stayed on Fumiko's beautiful face. This woman has the character to say such things.A vague uneasiness passed over Heitaro's heart, maybe what he said just now reflected her true thoughts. "Funko!" Heitaro asked with majestic eyes, "After my wife and I break up, will you use me as a stepping stone and let yourself go as far as you want?"
