Chapter 42 Section five

At noon on Saturday, Tomohiko bought fast food at the food department in the basement of the department store and took it back to the hotel room.He bought five-mesh rice with grilled fish and chicken nuggets, plus tea made from the tea bags provided by the hotel, and had lunch on the small table. "Sorry, I want you to accompany me to dinner." Nami Jiang apologized, "You can come back after eating outside." "It doesn't matter, if someone eats together, it will be more enjoyable." Tomohiko said while picking up the grilled fish with convenient chopsticks, "Besides, this food is quite delicious."

"Well, it's delicious." Namijiang narrowed her eyes and smiled. After eating, Tomohiko took out the pudding from the refrigerator, which he bought for dessert.Seeing the pudding, Namijiang was as happy as a girl. "Yuancun, you are so careful, you will definitely be a good husband in the future." "Really?" Tomohiko shyly put the pudding in his mouth. "Sonomura, don't you have a girlfriend?" "I handed in one last year and broke up. To be honest, I was dumped." "Oh why?" "She said that she prefers boys who are more playful, and thinks I'm too rustic."

"None of them looked at men." Namijiang shook his head, and then laughed at himself, "I'm not qualified to say anything about him." After speaking, she scooped up the pudding in the cup with a spoon. Seeing her movements, Tomohiko wanted to ask a question, but he didn't say it, thinking it was meaningless to ask. Namijiang saw his expression in his eyes. "You want to ask about Jiben, right?" she said, "I want to ask why I got involved with that kind of person, why did I post him for more than a year?" "Uh, no..." "It's okay, you can ask. Because anyone will think I'm stupid." Namijiang put the unfinished pudding cup on the table, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"It's a soft seven star." "Well, yes." Lighting a cigarette with Tomohiko's lighter, Namie took a deep breath.White smoke dances gracefully in the air. "About a year and a half ago, I was in a small car accident with my car," she said, looking out the window. Met difficult people." Tomohiko immediately understood: "Rogue?" Namijiang nodded. "They surrounded me, and for a moment I thought it was over. At this moment, Geng Ben got out of a car. He seemed to know the gangster. That's it, he helped me talk about the matter and pay the repair bill."

"They demanded high compensation from you?" Namijiang shook her head. "I remember it was about 100,000 yuan. However, Gengben still apologized to me, saying that he didn't talk about things well, and felt very sorry. It must be hard for you to believe, but he was really a gentleman at that time." "It's hard to believe." "He also dressed decently, said he was not a gangster, had several careers in his hands, and gave me his business card." "Oh." "It's all gone now," she added. "So, you like him?" Namijiang didn't answer immediately, she smoked for a while, her eyes following the smoke. "It sounds like an excuse, but he was really good to me at that time, making me believe that he really loved me. I was almost forty years old, and it was the first time I felt this way."

"So, you want to do something for him too." "Actually, I should say that I am afraid that Jiben is no longer interested in me, and I want to show that I am a useful woman." "Just give him money?" "Stupid, isn't he? He said that the new business needs money. I don't doubt it at all." "But, you have long discovered that Jiben is actually a hooligan?" "Yeah, but it doesn't matter at that time." "what?" "I mean it doesn't matter if he's a hooligan or not." "Oh..." Tomohiko stared at the ashtray on the table, not knowing how to answer.

Namie put out the cigarette in the ashtray. "I always meet dubious men. Is this called bad luck for men?" "Has anything like this happened before?" "Yeah. Can I have another one?" She pulled out another cigarette from the cigarette case that Tomohiko handed over. "My ex-boyfriend was a bartender, but he never worked hard. He likes to gamble, and he takes money from me." All the money I collected was used to gamble. After I used up all my savings, I didn’t care about my life or death, and disappeared without a trace.” "When was that?" "Well... three years ago."

"three years ago……" "Yes, that's when I met you for the first time. Because I encountered that kind of thing, I felt that life was very boring, so I wanted to go to that kind of place." "Oh." That kind of place—a place to hang out with boys. "I told Ryo about this a long time ago. I think he must be annoying me this time." Namijiang picked up the lighter on the table and lit a cigarette. "why?" "Because I repeat the same mistakes, Ryo hates it the most, doesn't he?" "Oh." Indeed, Tomohiko thought. "Can I ask a question?"

"what?" "It's so simple to steal money from the bank?" "It's difficult to answer this question." Nami Jiang raised her feet and continued to smoke, as if thinking about how to explain.After the cigarette was two centimeters shorter, she said, "Thinking about it, it's very simple, but this is where the trap lies." "How to say?" "Simply put, all you need is to forge a money order." Namijiang pressed her temples with two fingers holding cigarettes, "Fill in the amount and the account of the other party on it, and stamp the seals of the director and section chief of the centralized operations department. The chief of the section is often absent, so it is not difficult to steal his seal. I forged the official seal of the director.”

"Isn't this going to be discovered? No one will check?" "We have a daily report, which is used to calculate the balance of funds. The people in the accounting department are responsible for checking the calculation. However, as long as you have their seal, you can forge the documents that have passed the check, and you can temporarily confuse them." "temporary?" "Using this method, the settlement amount will suddenly decrease, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered. Therefore, I can only embezzle the advance payment." "what is that?"

"The principle of remittance between financial institutions is this: the bank that undertakes the remittance first advances the money on behalf of the customer, and then settles with the bank where the money is remitted. The money that is advanced first is called advance payment, and no matter which financial institution will deposit it separately Get up. That's the money I'm after." "Sounds complicated." "Professional knowledge is required to operate the advance payment, and only staff with many years of practical experience can grasp the whole situation. In the Showa branch of Dadu Bank, I was in charge. Therefore, it should have gone through double and triple inspections by the accounting department and the audit department. It’s up to me to do it all by myself.” "Anyway, you didn't check according to the rules?" "To put it simply, it is like that. According to our bank's regulations, when the remittance amount exceeds one million yuan, the payee and the amount must be filled in the management book, and the computer terminal can only be operated by borrowing a key with the permission of the section chief. Moreover, The result of this transfer must be printed out as a report the next day and submitted to the section chief for inspection. However, almost no bank checks so strictly, so just hide the stolen summons and the daily report of that day, and only let the supervisor Looking at the normally processed subpoenas and daily reports, no one will find anything wrong." "Oh. It sounds difficult. It's because the boss is too sloppy." "Yeah, but..." Namijiang tilted his head and sighed, "Someone will find out one day, just like Mr. Makabe." "Knowing that someone will find out, there is still no way to stop." "Well, it's like... addicted to drugs." Namijiang shook off the ash in the ashtray, "Just a few keys on the keyboard can move a large amount of money from here to there, making people feel like they are It seems to have a pair of hands that can cast magic. But, it is a trap." "If you want to lie to the computer, it's best to stop in moderation." Finally, Nami Jiang said to Tomohiko. Tomohiko lied to his family that he would temporarily live in a part-time job, and borrowed one of the two side-by-side beds in the hotel room.He took a shower first, put on his bathrobe, and crawled into bed.Afterwards, Namijiang entered the bathroom.At this time, all the lights were turned off except the night light. Namijiang walked out of the bathroom and went to bed.Tomohiko heard voices behind him and smelled soap. In the darkness, Tomohiko remained motionless.He didn't want to sleep at all, and he was very emotional, maybe it was the consciousness that he had to try to let Namijiang escape safely.However, there was no news from Kirihara all day today. "Sonomura," Namie's voice came from behind, "are you asleep?" "No." He replied with his eyes closed. "Can't sleep?" "Hmm." Tomohiko thought, no wonder Namijiang couldn't sleep.She had to run for her life, and her future was uncertain. "Here," she called out to him again, "do you think of that man?" "Who?" "Yuko Hanaoka." "Ah..." Hearing this name, Tomohiko could no longer keep calm.He was careful not to let her notice his mood swings, and replied, "Sometimes." "Oh, sure enough." It seemed that his answer was just as she expected. "you like her?" "I don't know, it was too young." Hearing Tomohiko's answer, she chuckled. "It's still very young." "Too." "That's when," she said, "I ran away." "yes." "You must think I'm a strange woman, right? I've already gone, and I'm still running away." "No……" "Sometimes I regret it." "regret?" "Hmm. I would wonder if it would be better to stay then. Stay there and let things take their course and maybe be reborn." Tomohiko closed his lips.He understood the heavy meaning contained in her whisper, and he didn't dare to answer rashly. In the dull atmosphere, she said again: "Could it be too late?" She asked the meaning of this sentence, and Tomohiko knew it very well.In fact, he was gradually dominated by the same idea. "Namie," he finally made up his mind and called her, "Do you want to do it?" She fell into silence, and Tomohiko thought she had made a slip of the tongue.But soon she asked: "Would you like Obasan like me?" "You are the same as you were three years ago, unchanged." "You mean, I was Obasan three years ago?" "that is not what I meant." He felt Namie get out of bed. A few seconds later, "I hope I can be reborn," she said in Tomohiko's ear.
