Chapter 21 beware of the camera

Farewell, wretched man! 佐野洋 12289Words 2018-03-15
Maybe it's because of the working day, the pedestrians on the road are almost all local residents.Keiko is most afraid of encountering acquaintances, but in today's situation, it seems that there is no need to worry.This way, Keiko has nothing to fear. Keiko stretched out his elbow to Chongshan.Last fall, Keiko married Yoshimura, and then had a tryst with Okiyama. Today is the third time they meet.The previous two times were both in Tokyo. As a married woman, Keiko felt somewhat resistant to the intimacy of walking arm in arm with the eyes of passers-by with a guilty conscience. Chongshan exerted force under his armpit, and squeezed Keiko's arm tightly.When two people hold arms and elbows, Chongshan often uses this method as an expression of love.Keiko also added strength to her arm to repay Chongshan's affection.There was a sweet feeling in her heart, and she thought happily: "It's the same as that moment."

Keiko suddenly looked at Chong Shan's expression.She expected Chong Shan to feel it immediately, and turned her gaze to herself, but Chong Shan didn't seem to notice it.Keiko followed his line of sight and found that the target of Okiyama's gaze was a girl about three years old. On the road, a group of five- to six-year-old children were playing. The girl was unaccompanied and stood aside, watching the older children perform martial arts games.Her dress has been in the water many times, and its color is whitish.From under the hem of the skirt, two dirty calves were exposed, probably because a pair of dirty hands rubbed on the legs.The nose is black, like a beard.Keiko looked away, thinking, "Dirty child!" She didn't want children yet.

"What are you looking at?" Keiko asked. She quickened her pace a little. "Huh? Ah, it's nothing!" Chong Shan replied, seeming a little embarrassed. "It's fine. I thought you were thinking about the young master!" The son is Chongshan's only daughter, and Keiko mentioned her to tease Chongshan.The son is also three years old this year, no wonder Keiko was suspicious: "Looking at that girl at the mountain, maybe I think of his daughter." Chong Shan frowned and said, "Alas! How do you say that?" "But didn't you also go to work in the company last Sunday? Today is a compensatory rest, and you are with me again... In this way, don't you think the young master is pitiful?"

"Don't talk about it! It's meaningless to say these things. Didn't we have an appointment first, and today we have to forget our families? It's rare to get together like this..." "Alright alright." Keiko leaned on Chongshan's arm, leaning her cheek against it.Such a move has not been done in nearly half a year.Husband Yoshimura is a scholar, perhaps because of his status, he is always difficult to get close to.Keiko is so coquettish and flattering to Chongshan, but she can't do it to her husband.Chong Shan is three years older than her, but looks younger.The reason may lie in his profession as a technician, which brought him an active life.

Chong Shan said, "Is it a little hot?" He took off his raincoat and revealed the clothes underneath: tweed jacket, flannel trousers.This is work attire, with the company badge pinned to the collar.For today's one-day round-trip trip, the spiritual difference between the two is reflected in their respective clothing.Keiko thought about this, and felt quite deserted in his heart. However, putting himself in Chong Shan's shoes, Keiko felt that it might be harsh for him to ask Chong Shan to change to the dress for a tryst.Today, rushing to the mountains to make up for the rest, I am afraid that I can get out without telling my wife.If so, it would not be wise for him to arouse his wife's suspicions if he changed into a dress he did not normally wear.

Chong Shan put the raincoat he had taken off on his shoulders and complained: "It's such a trouble to carry a camera!" "I'm feeling it too." Keiko immediately agreed.Before getting married, she and Chong Shan worked in the same company.When the two travel abroad, they must bring a camera to take photos for Keiko.However, Keiko often takes away the undeveloped film and submits it to a photo studio for printing. Only one of each photo is developed for Chongshan to appreciate.Chong Shan didn't dare to take the photos home, let alone hope to cherish them. However, until now, Keiko didn't dare to bring the photo home.Since it is possible to be seen by the husband, this risk cannot be avoided.Therefore, it is in vain to bring the camera here today.It is impossible for them to take a group photo, even if they are alone, the person who took the photo has to be careful, otherwise it will be very difficult to dispose of the photos in the future.

"Both sides are wearing shackles!" Keiko said with a smile.Then, shrugging her shoulders, she added: "However, it's fun to be nervous, isn't it?" Chong Shan curled his lips and smiled, but did not speak.Keiko thought to himself: What happened to Chongshan today?always in a trance... After a while, Chong Shan said: "It's better to go to the hot spring?" "What's good? Going back and forth to the hot spring on the same day is not interesting!" "It's really a rush to go back and forth for a day, but two people who can't help themselves finally have a free day, but it's just a walk. It's really boring!"

"Ah, that's it!" Keiko suddenly realized.She understood why Chong Shan seemed listless. It was Keiko's wish for Chongshan to accompany Keiko to visit places she had never set foot in before.Keiko's husband always loves to read original foreign language books in his spare time, and he never puts them down. He seldom takes Keiko out on holidays. Since his marriage, Keiko's footprints have never crossed the boundaries of Tokyo.No wonder she was eager to escape the suffocation and take a few breaths of fresh air. Even if she wandered outside for a day, it would be considered a blissful time.So she invited Chong Shan to come here.

However, Chongshan's wish seems to be different from hers.He wants the two to be closer and separate from the world, in other words, he pursues the indulgence of a secret room tryst. Keiko looked at his watch: it was less than eleven o'clock. "There's plenty of time." Keiko thought, "There's no need to be as impatient as Chongshan." The route of Misaki-Jojima-Oiler is Keiko's planned journey.These places did not have the scenery and scenery that she really wanted to see. She just took a bus about five days ago and saw an advertisement on the bus, so she chose this route.However, when I made this travel plan, I no longer had the vigor and vigor of Girls’ Generation. I didn’t want to climb mountains and wading all day long, so I arranged a "rest" time in the evening...

Keiko slowed down when she saw the ferry terminal.On the pier, there were about fifteen tourists waiting for the ferry.Keiko worried: Will there be any acquaintances among them? Looking at a long and narrow island in the sea, Chongshan said disappointedly: "Is that Jojima? It's not very good, is it?" The island seemed to be right in front of him, the distance was unexpectedly close, it seemed to be only three hundred meters away.When Keiko saw it, she was also frustrated. Behind them, a car honked its horn. Keiko pushed Chong Shan's body aside to get out of the way. Looking back, a car was approaching quickly, and the driver was a young woman.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, Chongshan screamed and rushed towards the middle of the road.In an instant, he shook off Keiko's arm, and threw the raincoat and camera on the ground. At the same time, with the sound of a sudden brake, the car stopped.Keiko still couldn't figure out what happened at this instant. From the other side of the car, there was the cry of a child.It was a little girl, Chong Shan held her in his arms.Keiko finally understood the situation in front of her.The girl lying in Chongshan's arms at this moment, without looking back, was about to cross the road and was almost hit by a car.Seeing this, Chongshan rushed over and rescued the child... Chong Shan helped the girl to stand firm, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.With a wry smile on his face, Keiko leaned over to pick up the camera and raincoat thrown on the road by rushing up the mountain, thinking to himself: "He can't pass the test of a child..." At this time, Keiko had a strange feeling in his nerves, and the action stopped halfway, and he quickly raised his eyes to wait and see. Five or six meters in front of her stood a young man in a dark blue sportswear.He was holding the camera in his hand, as if he had just taken a shot, and was spinning the film.The man felt Keiko's gaze, glanced back, and walked towards the pier. "Ah!" Keiko's heart tightened.She raised her hand to send a signal to Chong Shan, and hurried to the open space by the road.Chongshan was reprimanding the woman who was driving, and when he saw Keiko's gesture, he understood, quickly picked up the raincoat and camera, and then rushed away. "Hey, what's the matter?" Chong Shan caught up with Keiko and asked hastily. "You're still so nosy!" Keiko's voice turned out to be annoyed and angry, even she was surprised. "You—how can you say such a thing!" "Didn't you notice? Someone took a picture just now!" "Photograph?" "Yes! Anyone who has used a camera at all knows that it is a wonderful scene. Rescuing a child from under the wheel of a car is not a common scene!" Keiko's words were full of sarcasm. "Taking a photo?...Could it be an acquaintance?" "No. He looks like a student. However, his camera is exactly the same as yours! Besides, he came to this kind of place alone to take pictures, maybe he is a part-time reporter..." "Well, this is terrible!" Chong Shan also showed a confused expression, "It seems that he may be a long-term contestant in the monthly competition of photography magazine works!" "Ah? What should I do?" "Ask me what to do..." Keiko's reason for panic also applies to Hedge Hill.Chong Shan took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one, and knocked on the metal box frequently, his movements revealing the tension in his heart. ——That student is likely to submit an application to a photography magazine.Although the photo won't win the first prize, it may be rated as a masterpiece.That shot undoubtedly captured Chongshan, and as far as the scope of the view is concerned, it might also capture Keiko's figure. In Chongshan's company, there are many photography fans, and this photo may inevitably fall into the eyes of a colleague.One is a technician who already has a wife, and the other is a married woman who used to work as a clerk in the same company. This man and woman who should not meet together appear in the same scene. a conclusion.Rumors spread everywhere and finally reached the ears of Chongshan's wife.Keiko's husband may also find out.Yoshimura never plays with the camera, but his younger brother often flips through photography magazines... Keiko felt that her end was coming, and she was very anxious. She thought: "I have to find a way..." Seeing that the Chongshan incident was coming to an end, she was still swallowing clouds and fog, and she couldn't help feeling anxious. "Oh," Keiko said again.She held Chong Shan's arm and shook it a few times, "Haven't you figured out a way yet?" "Well. Do you think he's going to publish that picture?" Chong Shan was still hesitant. "You don't know that? But, as long as there is even the slightest possibility, something must be done, isn't it? . . . " "Hey, is this... a bribe? But, if you want to settle it, you don't have enough money!" Keiko bit her lower lip.The money she brought was only five thousand yuan in total. What's more, if someone offered to bribe him, but the other party ignored him and flatly denied that the scene was taken, what could be done! "Troubleshooting!" Chongshan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and Keiko stood on tiptoe with his laceless shoes, trying to stamp it out.Looking up, there are still sparks.An ominous premonition hit Keiko's heart.She aimed at the cigarette butt, stepped on it with two and three feet. Suddenly, she thought of an idea.Thinking quickly in my mind, I inspected it carefully.In the end, she felt that although this move was not very sure, she could not give up. "There is a way, let me try it! Lend me the camera." Chong Shan handed her the camera and asked, "What are you going to do?" "I don't have time to explain! You can find a teahouse over there and wait." Keiko left Chong Shan, who was full of beauty, and ran out of the clearing alone. The man who took the photo just now was waiting for the ferry at the pier. This excursion boat has a false name. It has a small hull, a wooden structure, and no decoration. It can only accommodate thirty passengers. When boarding the boat, Keiko took advantage of the crowd and walked up to the man.She followed the man across the gangway leading to the ship's shore. The three-person seats on the ship are arranged on the left and right sides.The man sat down in the last row, and Keiko took the seat next to him.There was a dull vibration from the engine. As soon as the boat left the shore, it turned 180 degrees, and the bow pointed to Chengdao.Just as the hull was spinning, Keiko pretended to be unable to stabilize herself and put her hand on the man's lap. "Oh, pardon me! Didn't it hurt you?" Keiko apologized deliberately exaggeratedly. "no no." The other party became cautious.Keiko thought: "Maybe he's a student." However, his eyes fell on the knees of Keiko's close-fitting skirt, and Keiko quickly pulled the skirt. Keiko opened the handbag, took out the chewing gum, and handed it to the man.The other party showed a surprised look. "Please, just make up for what happened just now. You won't be disgusted, will you?" The man mumbled something vaguely and took a piece of chewing gum.It seems to be polite. "Are you here to take pictures?" "Yes. There is a beautiful place on the inside of this island. I have been here once before, and I want to take some pictures this time..." "Are you a student?" "Well, ah." The man was vague.However, his attitude is much more lively. "You have a camera, too." This time it was the man who took the initiative to chat. "Oh, it's the same as yours!" "Really?" The man asked back, but there was an uncertain smile on his face, and he said: "You said that, it's not bad..." Then, the man gushed about the subject of the camera.Keiko interjected appropriately.Her knowledge of the camera is very limited, and it is impossible to have a fluent conversation. In just ten minutes, the boat arrived at Chengdao, berthed and unloaded passengers.Passengers lined up and walked across the gangway.At this time, the man said to Keiko: "Come on, bring me the camera. It will be bad if it falls into the water..." Keiko was afraid of offending the other party and hindering the implementation of the plan, so he followed his words and handed over the camera to him. After landing, Keiko took the camera and said: "When you go to that beautiful place, lead me there too, okay?" "Well... But, don't you have a companion?" "No! What's the matter?" "It's nothing. It's just that I saw you with a man just now...and you were alone on the boat, so I felt a little strange. Maybe I misread the person..." The man tilted his head to one side. "Ah, that man!" Keiko laughed. "He's not my companion. I just asked him the way, and he told me to follow him..." "Really? Then..." "Take me there?" "Well, I don't care..." As the man walked, he spun the camera film. After a while, they walked onto the sand road, and the man stopped suddenly. "I said—I don't have any money with me, is it all right?" "Huh? You said money?" Keiko was stunned when he heard the words, and didn't understand the meaning of these words at all. "That is to say, this...you accompany me..." Keiko thought for a moment, then laughed dumbfounded.This man actually regarded her as an escort girl.A girl who had never met before suddenly approached him, so it might be natural to guess. "Hee hee hee, come on! What is this!" Keiko's answer was ambiguous.Being treated as an escort girl by him felt relaxed and fun. "Really?...Okay. Oh! I forgot to tell you, my surname is Higuchi." "My name is Yamada." Keiko gave a false surname.The man's self-reported surname is not known to be true or false.If the plan goes well, Keiko will break with him.So Keiko doesn't have to pretend to be real and reveal his real name to him. Higuchi walked quickly.Keiko was bound by her close-fitting skirt, so she had to trot and follow closely. "Please, slow down!" Keiko said, grabbing Higuchi's arm. "Ah, I'm sorry! It's really..." Higuchi scratched his head. The tourists who disembarked together were scattered at this time, going their own way.Keiko and Higuchi walked on the road, only the two of them. Along the narrow street, there are two souvenir shops lined up.The shop seemed to double as a lounge, but no one was there.It's low season for travel and today is a weekday... Pass by the lounge, and then go forward, you will reach the west end of the island.When I walked across a concrete bridge, I looked down and saw that the sea water was extremely clear.Keiko admired it and asked why, Higuchi replied: "The seabed in this area is Iwaki, so the seawater is not polluted." Keiko felt that this theory was absurd, but he didn't go into it. Alas, how could she care about strange talks!Keiko deliberately approached the man who called himself Higuchi, flattering him, in order to take advantage of the loophole and switch his camera.However, the chance to make a move was coming, and Keiko began to feel upset... Keiko was working hard on countermeasures with Chongshan when he suddenly remembered that the man's camera was the same model as Chongshan's. That being the case, if the two cameras can be exchanged, the other party may not be aware of it.After changing the camera, the worrying photo negative came into my hands along with the camera.Approaching this man was precisely due to such a plan. Obviously, Keiko had to make various preparations before switching cameras.First of all, she must adjust the film roll of her own camera so that the number of remaining films is the same as the number remaining in the Higuchi camera.If there is only a difference of one or two cards, Higuchi may not notice it, but if the difference is more than five, he will notice it immediately after switching.These hands and feet are really indispensable. However, at this stage, Keiko suffered repeated setbacks. Higuchi carried the camera on his shoulder, and the body hung down to his armpit, sandwiched between his arms and upper body, making it hard to see the digital film.You can't read it just by looking at it. However, after thinking about it, this matter cannot be delayed.If there are only one or two sheets of that film left now, it is necessary to promote the opportunity for replacement as soon as possible.If, while hesitating, Higuchi finished shooting the last film and replaced it with a new roll, then it would be pointless to change the camera... Keiko made up his mind and asked: "Mr. Higuchi, how many pictures did you take today?" "what?" Higuchi looked a little weird.Keiko was startled: "Could he have noticed?" She subconsciously moved her eyes to him. "Oh, you said photos! Only two photos were taken. For some reason, there is no lust today..." "What? Appetite?" "Hey, it's the desire of photography. The photography of photography, the desire of desire." "Oh, it's these two words! So the camera is freshly loaded in the morning, right?" When Keiko asked the bottom line like this, Higuchi stopped suddenly, and then looked around. "Yes, it's new. What's the matter?" Higuchi's eyes, perhaps affected by the light, were shining brightly at this moment.Keiko felt that his voice had also changed.Keiko took a step back unconsciously. "No! Nothing...just asking! Are you angry?" "Oh, look at what you said. How could it be..." Higuchi murmured, and then pretended to say: "Ah, the road ahead, you have to watch your step!" In this area, the aquifer rocks are directly exposed to the ground without soil cover.Coupled with the washing of the tide and surf, the rock surface has been eroded unevenly over time, with great disparity in height, like rocky mountains.Here, walking in lace-up shoes is naturally difficult. "Pay attention to your step" refers to this matter. "Only took two pictures?..." Keiko thought, looked at the camera hanging under his shoulder, saw the arrow indicating the film number, and pointed to the position of "3", "What a coincidence!" Immediately change Come here, I'm afraid it won't be revealed.After a while, Higuchi will adjust the camera, and Keiko will take pictures together. "Will you take a break?" Keiko proposed to take a break, naturally with ulterior motives. "Tired from walking?" Higuchi stopped.This rock face is relatively flat, just right for sitting down and taking a nap. "Yeah, kind of..." "However, if you go further there, there is a better place! It may be caused by seawater erosion. It is deeply recessed, like a cave. I heard that people often bring models to hold photo sessions in the cave." "It failed again?" Keiko was very frustrated. She originally planned to find an excuse to ask Higuchi to remove the camera from his shoulder after the two sat down side by side, and then took advantage of the loophole to replace it.However, since Higuchi refused to accept the proposal to sit down and take a nap, she had no choice. Keiko thought uneasily: "If you continue like this, if you don't get a chance to change it, isn't it the end?" Higuchi led the way and walked down a rocky reef.Keiko's legs were wrapped in a close-fitting skirt, and she couldn't move freely, and she was afraid of breaking the heels, so she didn't move lightly like Higuchi.At one point on the way, you must jump from a height of one meter.Keiko was hesitating, Higuchi took off the camera, put it by his feet, and opened his arms. Keiko got the idea and hurriedly said: "Please take it!" and handed the camera to Higuchi.If Higuchi also puts this camera by his feet, that would be a perfect opportunity! However, Higuchi took the camera from Keiko and placed it five or six meters away from his own camera. Keiko was disappointed again.She thought: Could it be that Higuchi has seen through her mind? Higuchi put his arms around Keiko and carried her down from the height.Keiko smelled a strong masculine breath.She noticed that when Higuchi hugged her, he turned his face away. Keiko understood the meaning of this gesture: "He can't stand the stimulation of perfume." After putting down Keiko, Higuchi walked all the way with an angry look on his face.But he was not angry, but looked back from time to time to see if Keiko was following him.His expression seemed to be a psychological reflection of being too nervous. "Ah!" Keiko thought suddenly, and she almost stopped in fright. "In this place, maybe he will rush towards me!" Thinking of this, her steps became heavy with fear. "His eyes!" Keiko shuddered.Those eyes are extraordinary, revealing the struggle against desire in the eyes.I'm afraid it was when Keiko was taken down from the height, the stimulation of the perfume and powder fanned the male desire in him. Keiko regretted it now.She shouldn't have followed this young man to a place like this.Here, if Higuchi pounced on her, it would be useless for her to resist desperately. "What should I do?" Higuchi was still walking forward on the rocks.Keiko thought: "Shall I go back?" She felt that it would be dangerous to follow Higuchi any further.Looking around, there is no sign of anyone.It can be seen from the sea, but there are no fishing boats coming nearby. In this kind of place, a man who is only accompanied by a woman may be thinking about one thing alone. "What's more..." Keiko remembered the joke he made earlier.Higuchi thought Keiko was an escort girl.In this way, he can naturally "regardless of shame". Higuchi walks non-stop, as if walking a frequent path.Keiko staggered like a sleepwalker, following behind. "Let's go back." She really thought about this, but she was worried about that matter.Even if Higuchi doesn't pursue and pester her and let her go back, the problem still cannot be solved. If she could go back with a wave of her hands, why did she bother to approach this stranger? "Hateful camera!" Keiko cursed secretly as she looked at the camera hanging under Higuchi's right shoulder.Without that camera... Suddenly, she had a showdown and asked herself: "Either you are bullied by Higuchi now, or you let that photo appear in a photography magazine, what choice do you make?" With this question, one knows that bad luck is inevitable.If it is absolutely necessary, right here and now will be the victim of Higuchi's desire, without anyone noticing, so there is no need to worry about the future.Even Higuchi didn't know Keiko's real surname.If you can exchange for that terrible film at this price, it will be considered a blessing in misfortune. Keiko felt impulsive and blurted out: "Mr. Higuchi!" Higuchi's shoulders trembled, and he turned around abruptly.However, Keiko couldn't say the following words, and Higuchi walked towards her. "Hey, it's almost there!" Higuchi's tone was rude, but Keiko heard that there was no evil in it.As a result, Keiko felt a little comforted in his heart. "I said, I have something to ask you!" Guile finally said it. "What's up?" "Camera, shall we change the line?" Higuchi twisted his lips immediately.Keiko saw his face for the first time. "Hey hey!" Higuchi laughed a few times, and then said, "It seems..." He stopped talking. "Oh, please! If you are willing to change, I will do whatever you say!" Keiko finished speaking in a hurry, thinking: "It's finally out!" Higuchi's gaze swirled all over Keiko's body unscrupulously.Keiko's hand stroked the strap of the bag over and over again. "Okay, come here!" After Higuchi finished speaking, he turned his back on Keiko and walked forward as usual.Keiko followed suit. Keiko suddenly thought again, it's not too late. Higuchi's footsteps became tighter than before. Higuchi finally stopped.His seemingly angry face made a expression.It was a signal. They stood at the entrance of a cave, which was surrounded by rock walls on three sides, but there was no cover on the top, which could reach the sky.The signal from Higuchi seems to be telling Keiko to go into the cave. "But……" Keiko looked around. "No problem, no one can see!" Higuchi's tone was already very presumptuous. "Let it be fate!" Keiko thought desperately. "Turn your face away!" "Ok?" Higuchi looked puzzled. "How embarrassing to undress in front of your eyes!" "Oh, you say that! But you're as clever as a goblin!" Higuchi said with a mocking expression on his face.However, he followed his word and turned his back on Keiko. Keiko took off her suit jacket.Then she thought about the terms of exchange, and said to Higuchi: "Give me the camera first!" "So don't believe me! Oh, I can't help it..." As Higuchi said, he handed over the camera that had been slung over his shoulder and was reluctant to let go.Keiko also handed him the camera she was carrying.To be on the safe side, Keiko tied the camera she had just received to her belt with a handkerchief.Then, wrap it with a coat again. Higuchi turned his back again.He still carried the camera over his shoulder. Keiko took off her lace-up shoes.The rock face is freezing cold.She was unexpectedly calm, and she was also surprised.She balled up the sock and stuffed it into the shoe. She took off her blouse, and her tight skirt.Then there is the lavender petticoat... This attire was supposed to be taken off for the mountain rush today. "I didn't expect to be in front of such a man..." Thinking of this, Keiko forgot the cold. At this time, she found that the man was still standing in the back of his sportswear, and he didn't even take off his shoes. "oops!" Keiko couldn't help shouting softly.Higuchi turned around and looked back.Keiko raised her hands to cover her chest and reprimanded loudly: "You're still indifferent. That's an insult!" "Oh?" Higuchi blinked. "Do you have to take off your shoes?" Higuchi's face became even more distorted.He thought for a while, then laughed: "Hey, you got it wrong! I never said I wanted your body, it's a misunderstanding!" "what?" Keiko panicked in his heart: "Since this is the case, could it be..." "I wanted to do a nude photoshoot here, and I thought you were going to do the same." "Really?" Keiko stared blankly at Higuchi before she could speak. "How's it going? Are you having a hard time being a nude model?" "Okay! You turn around again..." The previous tension has been completely eliminated.Keiko felt that everything from the fingertips to the whole body was weak. "Really?" She thought again, "If it's just to be a model..." Modeling is a very popular profession... "Ah, it's still not good!" Keiko woke up, her hand holding the petticoat Immediately freeze.If you take a nude photo of Higuchi, you will still be worried that he will send it for publication, and you will leave evidence for him.She thought: "This will not work!" Commitment to each other, but once.However, the other party had the nude photo as a handle to intimidate her, and she would inevitably be used as a model for him again and again. "Can't you find a way to escape?" Keiko looked left and right. "If you shout here..." However, after thinking about it, I'm afraid no one will come.Even if you come, the result is still embarrassing, and you can't clear the lawsuit...it's meaningless. "Think again……" Her vision suddenly caught a wooden stick washed up by the sea on the rocks.The length is less than one meter, and the thickness just fits your hand.Still confused, Keiko picked up the stick. She couldn't stop the shaking in her knees.He ordered himself: "Calm! Calm! In order to protect the peace of my life, there is no way out!" Keiko tiptoed and approached Higuchi whose back was facing her.She closed her eyes, swung the stick, and knocked it down suddenly with all her might. In a blink of an eye, Higuchi fell to the ground. How Keiko returned to the ferry terminal next, she herself has no memory. After boarding the boat, she first realized that she was not wearing socks.However, she stuffed the socks in her coat pocket.I touched it with my hand and found that there was one in each of the left and right pockets. None of the passengers on board seemed to pay her special attention.Keiko closed his eyes again, thinking about whether he had neglected somewhere. First is the camera.It fits nicely on the shoulder.Second, the handkerchief is still attached to the belt.The attire may look somewhat messy, but there is nothing you can do about it. Open the bag, take out the mirror, and look at your face.Beads of sweat floated on his forehead.Maybe it's a psychological effect, I feel sunken under the eyes.However, she was not in the mood to paint the face again. I don't want to think about anything, I don't want to do anything.Physical and mental, have been exhausted. When the boat arrived at Misaki Wharf, Keiko wanted to go ashore as soon as possible.He rushed to the mountain and walked towards her.Maybe every time the ferry docked, Chongshan would come to visit him once. "Ah! How did it turn out?" Chong Shan put his hand on Keiko's shoulder. "this!" Keiko handed the camera to Chongshan.In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, and she laid her head on Chong Shan's chest. "Huh?" Chong Shan looked at the top of Keiko's head and asked a question.Then, Chong Shan supported her shoulders, pushed her away from his chest, and asked again: "What's the matter? What did the man say?" "Ah!" Keiko became alert, "Look at how stupid I am! You can't cry here!" She hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it later! We must leave here as soon as possible..." She took Chong Shan's hand and dragged her away. "Wait! You're talking nonsense..." Chongshan hesitated to move forward. "Don't dawdle! Don't ask, go find a taxi? Please!" Forced by Keiko's momentum, he rushed to the mountain to find a car. Once in the taxi, Keiko said to the driver: "Please drive to Yokosuka." "Which location in Yokosuka?" "Anywhere! As long as it's a quiet place." Keiko was not thinking about her and Chongshan.However, in order to report to Chongshan, a secret room in a secluded house is still indispensable. "Oh! Yokosuka has now entered American warships, this quiet place, I'm afraid..." The driver put his hands on the steering wheel, but his head. "Really? Let's fuck Zushi then." Chongshan touched Keiko's knee and whispered: "You don't need to go so far, there is a hotel in the oil pot!" "no, sorry!" Keiko shook his head stubbornly.She hopes to escape as soon as possible, the farther the better. Chongshan repeatedly asked to tell the story in the car, but Keiko kept silent.She knew very well that many murderers were reported and exposed just because a word was leaked on this occasion.She said: "I'm tired and want to rest early." After that, she rested her head on the shoulder of Chongshan and closed her eyes. Doing so seemed to hurt Chong Shan's feelings.Keiko thought: "There's no way!" She felt that no matter how Chong Shan felt at the moment, it was irrelevant. Although her eyes were closed, Keiko couldn't fall asleep.She was most wronged when the man saw her half naked in the cave on the island.On the other hand, she always felt that she had killed a human life.There were so many thoughts in her head that she couldn't sort them out by herself. Arriving at Zushi's hotel, Keiko immediately reported what happened to Okiyama.However, she omitted the episode where she was naked. "But why did you kill him!" Chong Shan was shocked, "If you don't kill him, you won't..." Keiko omitted the unspeakable secret, and Chongshan naturally couldn't understand the reason for the murder. "Why are you still talking about this? It's irreversible!" Keiko relieved the pressure in his heart by confiding his troubles to Chongshan. "But you didn't leave evidence, did you?" "I think it's all right! Come to think of it, I have nothing to do with him, do I? The police have no way of investigating." "Indeed..." The panic in Chong Shan's heart subsided, and he gradually calmed down. "It's just that he may not really be dead. If he wakes up after you leave..." This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, expressing the possibility that Keiko hadn't expected so far.She thought in horror: "Ah! There is another layer..." At that time, she was in a hurry, but she didn't see the truth.Thinking back on it now, I feel a new sense of uneasiness in my heart. "However, is there such a possibility?..." "Of course! It's not so easy to die when a person is hit by a stick. Especially for women who are weak..." Keiko was lost in thought. "If he comes back to life..." Will Higuchi report to the police?He knew the murderer. "If so..." "But I think it's not easy to find me! I'm using a false name, and he doesn't know where I live?" Chong Shan nodded silently.Then, he took the camera from a corner of the room. "Is that it? Such a big mess..." Okiyama said, and took out the film from the camera to expose it. "I really want to see the scene of me saving people, but it's really dangerous!" Keiko smiled sadly, thinking: "Maybe this is really the end of the matter?" "Oh, how weird!" Chongshan said while fiddling with the camera. "Oh? What's wrong?" "No, it's not broken. It seems to be my camera. It's just that I can't remember the lens number and can't identify it." "It's not surprising, isn't it the same model?" "makes sense……" Chong Shan was still puzzled. "You, why don't you give me comfort first!" Keiko whispered coquettishly, rushed to the mountain to hear the words, and took her into his arms. Ten days passed.Keiko read the newspaper carefully every day, but he didn't see a single word about the "City Island Murder Case".She was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, the scene was such a secret place, probably the body had not been found yet.Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising.What's more, Higuchi may also die and revive.Anyway, it's impossible to find Keiko... 那不祥的记忆,已经淡薄消隐。 那天与冲山分手,此后也未曾相会。圭子害怕,见了冲山会勾起烦恼的记忆。 第十一天,圭子送走了丈夫,心情平静下来,忽然,她听到门厅里有人求见。 走到门厅,圭子大吃一惊。来客竟是那个樋口!他头上缠着绷带,服装仍和那时一样…… 圭子退后几步,口里喊道: “樋口先生!” “那天实在抱歉……今天特来致谢。” 说话之间,樋口已脱下了鞋子。谢客是不成的。圭子心慌意乱,只得把他领进客室。 “你怎么——找到这儿……” “唔,这无关紧要。唉,慢慢再说吧。哎呀!该从哪儿说起呢?” 圭子见樋口不会加害于她,稍稍放下心来。她见樋口掏出香烟,忙去给他点火。 “啊,对啦对啦!首先应该道歉。那天下船登岸时,我为夫人拿过相机,还记得吗?当时我把相机作了掉换呢!真是万分谢罪。” “可你干吗掉换呢?” “嘿嘿嘿!在渡船上,我曾赞赏夫人所带的相机。这是理所当然。那架机相,价值七万元以上,是我很难买得起的……可是,夫人所说的那句话,真是天赐良机!哦,你说:'和你的一样呀!'的确,我的照相机,看上去很像夫人所带的那一架。可是性能不大好,价钱也很便宜,还不到两万元!稍稍懂得相机的人,一看就会明白。我想:'哈哈!这位太太对相机一无所知呢!'于是,我试探地向你问了关于相机的一些事情,你的答话总是含含糊糊。这一来,我终于起了邪念。下船的时候,便作了调换!把那架相机弄到手里,在摄影杂志的作品月赛中,捞不到七八次一等奖,那才怪呢!所以我甘愿冒一点风险。被你发现了也不要紧,说一声:'啊!弄错了。'也就没事了。” 圭子听到这里,真想放声大笑。她自己千方百计寻求掉换的机会,却没料到想要猎取的东西,已挎在自己肩上。 “难怪你带着相机,总是把它隐隐藏藏!” “就是嘛!要是被夫人发现,岂不要吃大亏……我打算以夫人为模特儿,拍摄一幅照片,题名'城岛之女'。当然,是穿着衣服的!可是,有一次我把夫人从高处抱下,还记得吗?凭我当时的感觉——恕我直言,我想:'这女人的裸体恐怕不错!'紧接着便想请夫人让我拍摄裸体。后来有一段时间,我一边走一边考虑,该以什么方式提出这个要求。” 圭子暗起:“原来如此!当时他做出那副可怕的面孔,原来是在考虑这件事情!”她想起自己当时的误解,不禁面红耳赤。 “我正在考虑,夫人把我叫住了!我大吃一惊。谁想到夫人又说:'有件事求你,换换照相机吧。'我以为事情暴露了。可是,后来夫人又说出一句怪话:'叫我干什么都行!'这一来,真叫我吓破了胆子!我觉得其中有些蹊跷。不过,既然夫人愿意对我言听计从,嗐,我也乐得如此了。嗯——至于后来的事情,夫人都是知道的!” “可是,我的住所,你怎么……” “啊,这件事么?总而言之,当时我晕死了片刻,幸好命不该死,被人救了出来,在医院里住了两天。出院后,我苦苦思索。我假定夫人那段时间并没有发现我把相机作了掉换。这一来,问题就简单了!夫人为什么提出交换相机呢?而且,似乎不惜以贞操为代价。贞操可以不顾,却不愿给人拍下裸体!这些情况,我一一回想起来。结论只有一个:夫人想要的不是照相机,而是机内的胶卷!那么,这胶卷……我赶紧洗印出来,仔细查看。我已说过,那天只拍了两张,所以立刻找出了要害。两张照片,拍摄的都是小孩险些被汽车撞压时的场景。照片放大后,收入镜头的三个人物清晰可辨:一个是抢救小孩的男人,一个是开车的女子,另一个就是夫人。而且,夫人没拿相机,那相机滚落在男人风雨衣的旁边。哈哈,这就对了!夫人恐怕就是担心这张照片发表在杂志上吧。想到这里,更加留意察看,发现男人西服上别着一枚徽章。这家公司名气很大,无人不知!接下去就更好办了。我上那家公司一打听,情况立即大白。夫人过去也曾在那家公司工作吧?” 圭子猛然起身。 “哎呀!这么说,你把那张照片给公司里的人看过了?” “不不,别担心!我只是把脸部剪下来了,而且是先请人认出了冲山先生,再请另一个辨认夫人……若不保守秘密。人家怎么肯买底片呢?” “果不其然……要多少?” “嘿嘿,不要夫人给钱,我另有所求呢!上一次就打算给我的……” “这怎么……”圭子睨视着樋口的面孔,心想:“还说是学生呢……”可是,她无法与之对抗。 “唉,至于钱嘛,请冲山先生支付好了。六万元,相当于五个月的薪金,夫人在这五个月内,每月得有那么一回……” 圭子忽然动了灵机,冲口说道: “可这样一来,底片就得交给冲山先生吧?他买去了,要我买什么呢?既然没东西可买……” “嘿嘿嘿,事到如今,还说这种话?……” 樋口可憎地歪扭着面孔,从衣袋里掏出一张照片。 圭子一看,失声惊叫:“啊!怎么拍下了这个……” 那照片上,印着光穿了衬裙的圭子。 “哎呀,仔细想想吧!夫人脱衣的时候,中途不是叫过我吗?很抱歉,就是那会儿拍下的!夫人,总而言之,对照相机要多加提防才好!夫人和冲山先生一场甜蜜的幽会,之所以招来祸患,原因就在照相机……而且,如果人人对照相机稍有了解,也不至于被人掉换了还未察觉。可以说,对照相机决不可掉以轻心哪!”
