Chapter 14 chapter Five

As a result, it may be a mistake to change the monthly report to the semi-annual one.But this is not the client's fault, but the negligence of the private investigator.The investigation of the same subject changed from once a month to once every six months. I don’t know if the detective agency thought it was too stingy and became sloppy, or they changed the investigators who were not good enough. In short, the records of the investigation report received after half a year, The house remains solitary and remains unchanged, and the living expenses are of course provided by the natal family.

Another three months later, a design document for a commissioned residential building was transferred to Kasai.Last year, the company built 30 houses for sale near the coast of Ishikawa County, each with a different design.This lot of homes was a hit and sold out quickly.A person who had seen these houses bought a land of 80 ping nearby and commissioned them to design and build them.The client expressed his desire to have a purely Japanese garden with a pond.The houses in front had such gardens. Kasai saw that the name of the client on this trust letter was Takashi Mizuma and the house couple.

Isn't Takashi Mizuma a colleague of M Optics?Later, I heard that I became the director of lens design, and I haven't seen this name for almost ten years.That's right, the address is in Tokyo, and the service agency is M Optics.Judging from the description of the power of attorney, M Optical plans to build a new factory near the city in Ishikawa Prefecture, and Mizuma will be transferred as the technical director of the factory.Therefore, Mizuma intends to settle there and build a detached house. Kasai stared at the name of the "House" that was named with Takaichi Mizuma, it should be his wife, but it was not specified as such.Doesn't it mean "new house" to build a single-family house in the place where you go to work?If married, it should be very recent.

Although Kasai thought so, he didn't tell Su Keiko.He wrote letters to the original place of residence to ask for the transcripts of his own and that of his mother’s family, and paid money in the same envelope. The name of the requester was false, and the place where the money was collected was the post office. About five days later, the reply letter from the district office was sent to the post office. After Kasai received it with a seal, he read the transcript and found that the house had been moved out of the household registration six months ago.The transcript of the house's natal family clearly records that she divorced Kasai Heitaro and married Mizuma Takayoshi.

How did Ryuki Mizuma know and combine with the house?Accidents happen everywhere in the world, so don't be surprised.Kasai thought.From the factory in the Yamanaka Basin to the head office in Tokyo, Takashi Mizuma came to know the same house in Tokyo by chance, which is not worth making a fuss about.Judging from his age, Ryuji Mizuma may be remarried.The process of the house being fascinated by the water seems to be conceivable.However, the private eye who failed to record this information was really abominable. In this way, the conditions for marrying Xu Keiko have been met.Kasai thought.The wedding can be officially held, or it can be officially announced.When Su Keiko heard this news, she must have cheered for the value of her patience in the past.

However, Kasai was full of displeasure.He was dissatisfied that Mizuma, whom he despised, was with the house, and Mizuma was promoted smoothly step by step.Soon, perhaps, he will become a director of M Optical Industries.It is "unreasonable" for someone with less talent than him to be overrated.He is a man with no other talents than fishing. Kasai is very dissatisfied with the house's easy break of the "waiting" position. He thinks that the house must continue to remain alone in order to punish her for marrying a man like Mizuma.Kasai only once worked with Mizuma in the lens design factory, and they didn't have any friendship at that time, not to mention that they haven't seen each other for nearly ten years.

Kasai designed the house for this client, especially for the pond, he took more painstaking thinking.Ryuichi Minzuma still loves to fish, so he must want to keep a lot of ornamental fish in the pond in the yard.Since a Japanese-style pond is specified, it may be more interesting to imitate a heart-shaped shape with variations. For this project, Kasai collected floor plans of famous gardens in Kyoto and famous gardens across the country, and used computer memory to facilitate design.For the sake of his old colleagues and the wife who left him, he designed more carefully. While doing this work, I heard that the commissioner, Takashi Mizuma, has moved to the new city of Ishikawa Prefecture and is temporarily living in an apartment, waiting for the completion of the new house.Because of this, the client hopes that the house will be completed as soon as possible so that he can move in.

What happened after that is described in the investigation report of the private detective agency as follows: "Kasai Heitaro went on a business trip to Hokuriku on △月△, and returned to Osaka about a week later. Among them, the house commissioned by the technical director of M Optical Industry △△ Plant Takayoshi Mizuma has completed the land preparation work, and the main landscaping project The pond was designed by Heitaro Kasai, and he personally supervised some of the construction. Even so, there are many things that are unclear about his actions during his business trip, but it is impossible to investigate this point."

——Longichi Mizuma's new house was completed, but the client did not move in.Because Takashi Mizuma disappeared before the new house was completed. Takashi Mizuma disappeared on his way back to his temporary apartment after leaving get off work from the factory one evening.Someone saw Mizuma and a tall man walking towards the newly built house on the dark road.But because of the weather, I couldn't see clearly. The house of Mrs. Mizuma, who was married six months ago, did not move into the new house because her husband disappeared, and the construction cost could not be paid.The construction company bought the land from her and sold the completed house to someone else.The buyer likes the form of the house, especially the garden with the pond.

The house went back to her natal family, waiting for the "missing second husband". Within a year, new homebuyers noticed that the pond's dozens of carp had all changed color.These are high-priced scarlet and koi, and the owner is very worried.Golds and reds turn burnt brown and dark green. Aquatic experts came to check and thought it might be caused by too much fat in the feed.The owner took the feed and protested to the industry, but the industry insisted that the fat content of their feed was too high.In addition, other families raise carp and goldfish with the same feed, but this phenomenon does not happen.So the owner changed the feed to feed the fish, but the result was still the same. The color of the carp became duller and duller, and the fish itself gradually lost its vitality.

After going through various tests, I remembered that there was an earthquake in the area a few months ago, and the land may have subsided slightly because of this.Even if it weren't for the earthquake, the land on the Japanese coast is gradually sinking.Perhaps because of this, the bottom of the pool cracked, and the foundation buried in the bottom of the pool had something to do with it, causing fat to emerge. A landscaper was invited to drain the pool water and remove the pebbles at the bottom of the pool. Sure enough, cracks appeared on the bottom of the cement pool.The cement can be reapplied, so use a pickaxe to break the foundation and dig up the soil below. A decomposed corpse was dug from the ground.It turned out that the corpse water seeped from the cracked concrete floor and polluted the carp in the pool water.At the same time, the surname "Mizuma" was recognized from the tattered clothes of the corpse. The police began investigating the pond's designers and engineers. ——Kasai Heitaro specially buried Takashi Mizuma's body in the garden of the new home Mizuma will own, as if preparing to let the house look alone at the pool above his husband's bones day and night.Obviously he did not expect to resell this new house to others immediately.
