Chapter 3 golden pond

1 The personal identity investigation reports commissioned by companies to credit investigation agencies or private detectives are mostly boring and boring, unlike character investigations such as having an affair or spending money like water.Most of the survey objects commissioned by the company are the characteristics of the employees that the managers do not like, and the newcomers who are scheduled to be hired.The purpose of the latter's entrustment is clear, but the other commissioners did not reveal their purpose, but only commissioned the investigation.It may be to avoid unnecessary preconceived notions by investigators in order to obtain objective information.

The investigative report is likewise made up of boring words and sentences.In fact, even the investigation report of an affair is nothing more than an example: △pm on △day afternoon, Mr. △△△ met Ms. △△△ in front of △△ Station, and took a taxi to △△hot spring hotel.After waiting until △point△△minute, the two still didn't come out, so the investigator ended today's follow-up.Since the subject of the investigation is an affair, the boring text arouses rich imagination instead.But the same articles in the ordinary character investigation report are so monotonous that it makes people breathless.

Kasai Heitaro is the person who appeared in this kind of monotonous investigation report. A Credit Investigation Institute was entrusted by a certain electrical industry to investigate Heitaro Kasai and put forward the following points: 1. This agency has paid attention to the person under investigation, but the character of this person is unknown.2. The respondent is currently working in the D automobile industry in County S, but I don't know if he is satisfied with his current job?3. Are there other companies poaching corners?4. If the conditions are good, is he willing to change jobs?5. Experience, family content, friendship situation, etc.

Based on these few points alone, it can be seen at a glance that the client's attention to Kasai Heitaro is intentional poaching.In other words, the purpose of the investigation has been indirectly manifested. What kind of experience Kasai Heitaro has and what kind of personality he has can be seen at a glance from the investigators collecting information on the spot and submitting the investigation report to the client about a week later.That is tantamount to describing the whole person.In plain words and sentences, it is classified into categories and described item by item, without unnecessary descriptions, so it shows realism instead.

However, realism is the most boring.First, Kasai Heitaro is a boring man, and the style of the report describing him is boring, so it is not appropriate to quote this article to introduce him as a character.However, because it is the content of the investigation of the old-fashioned investigation, it can be trusted. Kasai Heitaro was thirty-five years old (when this survey was conducted), and his academic qualifications are quite impressive: he graduated from the mathematics department of the Faculty of Science of a certain university in Tokyo, entered the graduate school of the Faculty of Science of the same university, dropped out of the same graduate school, and majored in precision engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the same university In the third grade, he entered the class and graduated at the age of 27 with excellent academic performance.

In the year of graduation, he joined M Optical Industry Co., Ltd. in Tokyo.This is the first-class camera industry company. It is a pity that the investigation report does not record the dynamics of Heitaro Kasai's university days.Perhaps the investigator was satisfied with the academic excellence provided by the school, and did not inquire about other aspects of the students at the same level.However, the circumstances of the tenure in M ​​Optics are described in detail. When he first joined the company, Kasai Heitaro fully demonstrated his newcomer's intention and fighting spirit. He was recommended by the company during school and applied for the company. He went to the company as an intern during the summer vacation of the year before entering the company.The factory is located on a plateau with clear air in the middle.During his internship, he became interested in lens design, so he decided to formally enter the company.When I wrote my graduation thesis, I made use of my internship experience and focused on the design and measurement of lenses.

After entering the company, Kasai Heitaro was immediately assigned to the research department of the Optical Division of the Technical Department, and was responsible for the design of lenses.His face is so pale that it should be said that he is tall and thin, with neat and almost nervous hair, black-rimmed glasses on his long face, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, giving people an impression of wisdom.With soft shoulders, he looks like an impeccable young technician.There are more female employees in the factory than men, and they give him eyeballs and whistle unceremoniously, and some girls admire him passionately, but Kasai Heitaro never dismisses these temptations.

When he entered the company, M optics introduced a computer which had not been tried before.That is a relay computer, which seems to be a very preliminary technology now.But he uses it to craft work plans and advance technology.The company uses a two-person system, so there is another colleague besides him, and they advanced the technical development of lens design by nearly six months, so the company values ​​their ability. After the three-month probationary period, M Optical asked Heitaro Kasai to write an opinion about the company. The content of this opinion is as follows: In addition to me, there is another classmate A in my university who participated in an internship last summer.He went to B Optics to apply. During the interview, the examiner asked in detail about the content and impression of his internship in M ​​Optics.It is said that his answer was vague and refused to make it clear.However, lens design is the most confidential part of the Optical Industry Association, so I think it is dangerous to let students come to practice.

This is quite pertinent advice to the company.Furthermore he wrote: It is unreasonable that there is not much difference in treatment between people who have graduated from ordinary universities and people like me who have studied in a research institute for two years.In addition, it is unfair that the people who work at the Tokyo head office and the technicians who work in the factory in the countryside are not given regionally differentiated subsidies.For example, in the United States, the degree of education of employees is quite reproduced.The company's treatment obviously ignores the education background.Gone are the days when lenses were made with the inspiration of artisans.Now it is produced by sophisticated minds and machines, so it is unreasonable to treat technicians as craftsmen.

This was a criticism shared by the company, but what confused the leaders was that he had only been in the company for four months and was still a rookie.Moreover, his articles are blunt and intense. However, the company valued Kasai Heitaro's talent, and believed that this was a venting article for a young man who had just entered the society and was not yet well-versed in the world, and expected him to gradually change and become more tactful. However, Kasai Heitaro not only expressed his dissatisfaction with the treatment to his superiors in words, but also kept complaining to his colleagues.Of course, these words were passed to the personnel department and cadres indirectly.Among the employees of the technical department who entered the company at the same time, he was the only one who expressed dissatisfaction, and the others did not protest, which made him particularly eye-catching.

Takaichi Mizuma, who entered the company at the same time and was assigned to the same unit from a different university but with the same education, is a gentle person.Although he agreed with Kasai Heitaro's dissatisfaction with the treatment, he never expressed his dissatisfaction like Kasai did.On the one hand, this may be due to the fact that Takashi Mizuma has a somewhat inferior feeling towards Heitaro Kasai.Mizuma is short, with angular face, which is much inferior to the dashing Kasai.Besides, his grades in the research institute were not as good as Kasai's. Of course, the skills shown by different university research institutes after entering the company were also worse than Kasai's.In fact, Mizuma's weight in the company is second to Kasai's.Therefore, he psychologically felt that he could not stand on the same ground as Kasai, who had excellent grades, and expressed his dissatisfaction.He passively agrees with Kasai's proposition, but cannot actively assert it. Kasai Heitaro didn't seem to mind that Mizuma didn't actively express his dissatisfaction.The character of being indifferent to other people's movements and only caring about one's own interests has been manifested since then. However, although Kasai's dissatisfaction has spread to the ears of the cadres, he cannot be given special treatment to him who has just joined the company.Moreover, the camera industry was still in recession at that time, and the salary was meager overall.Therefore, Kasai was always in a state of dissatisfaction during his two years at the company. Kasai Heitaro, who was living in the company's bachelor dormitory at that time, had no special hobbies. He just liked reading American technical books and technical magazines that he ordered from foreign language bookstores in Tokyo. Most of these books were related to computers. It seems that since then , Heitaro Kasai was disappointed with the optical industry and was considering a job change. Kasai is such a hard-working person. He despises those around him who are obsessed with Go, Shogi, mountain climbing, golf, etc. He thinks it is a waste of time. Therefore, Kasai also gave advice to Takashi Mizuma to go fishing every holiday.Before Mizuma came to this factory, he was fond of fishing. There are big lakes and small mountain lakes, overlapping high mountains and many streams.Every holiday, Mizuma came back from catching a lot of trout, and when he saw Kasai reading a book in the crab-shaped script in the dormitory, he blushed and smiled embarrassedly.Mizuma couldn't give up this hobby of fishing, which made him slightly inferior to Kasai Heitaro. Two years after joining the company, Kasai Heitaro insisted on resigning regardless of the cadres' retention.He resigned because he lost hope for the downturn of the optical industry. In retrospect, it is obviously his miscalculation.Because a year later, the industry began to be active, and it soon ushered in an unprecedented boom. Takashi Mizuma also doesn't have the ability to see through the industry, but he is reluctant to leave his outstanding colleagues and keep him.Of course Kasai would not change his mind because of this.At this time, Mizuma asked Kasai about his future movements, and Kasai told him that he planned to transfer to the automobile industry, because the automobile industry will enter the era of using computers, and his technology will be able to be used.From his tone, it seems that he had arranged a new job before resigning. Kasai watched with a slightly contemptuous look at the sluggish M Optics, and left the small town in the basin surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains. 2 In the investigation report of Kasai Heitaro by the credit investigation agency, it is recorded that Kasai entered the D automobile industry in S county, and was promoted to the head of the computer section of the computing department two years later, and was promoted to the head of the section three years later. Kasai Heitaro's knowledge of computers is outstanding, and the D automobile industry also values ​​his talents, so he has been promoted step by step so smoothly. However, Kasai's temper is exactly the same as when he was in M ​​Optics.He often uses the words "reasonable" and "unreasonable". His distinction between value judgments of all things is either reasonable or unreasonable, and his standard is the American-style scientific standard.He often says this to colleagues or subordinates: Why are you so keen on mahjong?There is no game more destructive to human beings than this, ignorant, unprogressive, and unhealthy at all.You stay up all night, so you will be tired. Of course, being tired will affect your work the next day.As a result, the trust of supervisors, family members, and friends is lost.Either way, it's harmful.First, it's a waste of time.In America, time is more important than anything else. Well said, everything makes sense.For Kasai Heitaro, theory comes first, and human feelings must be measured by the size of theory.It's like facing a computer.No matter what, he will never change his idea of ​​giving priority to specific theory, and he has extreme respect for the action of concretizing theory. Kasai Heitaro always said contemptuously that he is a Japanese in Japan, in contrast to being an American in the United States.He is a computer technician, and his English ability is strong, so he does not sound pretentious, but the content of his words is not new or distinctive. Even so, although the theory is ordinary, it is still easy to understand.It just lacks persuasiveness and courage. However, he is a person who insists on his own opinion. Once he advocates a theory, he will never take it back easily and stick to it to the end.People who listen to him often can't hold him back, and compromise to him insincerely.But that's not the case when it comes to company policy.Those who persuade him to accept the company's policy in the middle often encounter his resistance and are in a dilemma. This is unreasonable, although understandable in terms of mood, but mood is something unique to Japan, and sometimes it is an unreasonable disguise.In the United States, people will never be forced to accept unreasonable, because practitioners can thoroughly discuss theoretical contradictions with the above.If the following people follow blindly, the company's career will never develop.He criticizes like this. Kasai Heitaro is a tricky figure for the company.The same is true for human relationships. He has a lot of reasons, which makes people who come into contact with him feel restrained and keep him at a respectful distance.He has no intention of retaining the person who is leaving, because that is unreasonable behavior, he does not like to be treated, and he does not invite colleagues or subordinates, he excludes all unreasonable things.He has few personal relationships with anyone, but he himself doesn't feel alone or lonely because of it.In theory, it is strange to hold such sentiments. On the surface, he appears to be isolated, but he doesn't like intruding into other people's domains, and he doesn't want people to enter his range. Even so, he won't disturb the atmosphere around him with words or deeds.He is not a disturber of the established peace, but he does not strive to actively establish it either.Indifferent to the coordination and harmony of the office, with an attitude of going its own way.Although not a particularly closed personality, she considers interpersonal relationships outside of work to be unnecessary. As long as this person is excellent, there will naturally be places where he is needed.When Kasai said this to his subordinates, it was almost referring to himself.He honed himself single-mindedly, constantly absorbing knowledge on the job.From this point of view, he is a very hardworking person. However, his research is for himself, not for the benefit of the company.Therefore, he made full use of his position to conduct research with the company's equipment, and was keen to increase his abilities. Heitaro Kasai got married shortly before he was promoted to the head of the Computer Section of the Computing Division of the D Auto Industry.He doesn't like love and marriage, and thinks it contains unreasonable emotionalism, so he chooses to marry on a blind date.The other party's parents are local rich and landowners.The bride's name is House, and she is ten years younger than him. She just graduated from a junior college in the country. She has neither talent nor ordinary appearance.In other words, an unobtrusive woman. He is full of confidence in his future, so he doesn't care about the social status of his wife's parents, and he doesn't care that his wife is not an outstanding woman.At present, he is satisfied with letting his parents-in-law bear the living expenses and assist his research expenses.His own salary is not handed over to his wife, but kept for his own use.But because all the money was spent on books, his wife never complained, and was even willing to help him. Even so, everyone who knew Heitaro Kasai felt strange about his marriage. He who had never interacted with others and could not communicate with others, unexpectedly stepped into the most cumbersome marriage hurdle in interpersonal relationships. Because of his weird personality, everyone is curious about his marriage and expects changes.But until the final result appeared, there were no flaws, and no signs could be seen at all.Even so, it doesn't mean that he loves his wife. He treats his wife the same as he treats others, almost indifferent. Perhaps this plainness keeps the marriage smooth. Just as he has no passion for his wife, he has no interest in other women.It also seemed fair to say that he never drank with others, so he never had the opportunity to be interested in women. Similarly, when he talks to others, he is calm, and sometimes he will inevitably argue with others, but it will never get emotionally excited, and his face will remain pale.This is also a headache for the boss. A nervous face, not looking strong, but actually quite healthy.Clearly concerned about health. This is stated in the investigation report of Kasai Heitaro by the Credit Investigation Agency. Since I couldn't find anyone with whom I had a good personal relationship, my character was unclear, but I didn't hear bad criticism.Often in the midst of busy work, they do not use their leisure time properly like ordinary salaried employees.He and his wife have not yet had children, but they have never driven their own car to the suburbs for a holiday.He himself is always hiding in the study, and he has no interest in golf. He was elected as an executive member of the labor union in the optical industry of M and in the automobile industry of D, but he was not interested in the activities of the labor union at all and did nothing.In the D automobile industry, dissatisfaction with the treatment was true, but it did not become a topic of the executive department.It seems that they don't like to argue with others and avoid troubles related to themselves.If you use a vulgar term, he is a complete egoist as long as he is good, and he doesn't care how others feel. According to a key cadre in the D automobile industry, the calculation section in which Kasai Heitaro is the section chief is responsible for business management, production engineering, electrical calculations for technology promotion, and all planning work related to these.Although his knowledge of computer theory is very rich, his planning ability is below the standard.Because of this, the data that should be possessed in order to utilize the equipment installed is poorly designed, and it cannot really work through the computer.According to the official, this tendency emerged about three years after Kasai joined the company. Kasai Heitaro became the head of the calculation department and had forty subordinates, but he was unable to grasp personnel management and duties.Not because of his lack of ability, but because of his own indifference.He was lazy even in managing the duties that should be his responsibility, and even ignored the management of his subordinates.Moreover, he frequently vented his dissatisfaction with the company to his subordinates, and these words were passed on from his subordinates to the personnel department.The company admitted that it was a personnel mistake to appoint Heitaro Kasai as the head of the calculation section, but it was a headache because it could not be replaced immediately.At the end of the investigation report, there is a record like this: Two months ago, Kasai Heitaro suddenly submitted his resignation to the company for personal reasons.He himself said that he would go to the United States to study computers.However, due to the suddenness of the incident, some of the computing class members said that they only learned about the news of resignation after they learned about the news of studying abroad.Therefore, the legend may have been poached by another company.However, according to the company's investigation, it was a false report, and it has been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Travel Coupon Section and the airline company that it has indeed gone to the United States.As for the cost of going to the United States, some people suspect that the company that intends to hire him will pay for it, but the truth is unknown.Some people speculated that he went to the United States to study for two years, and after returning to China, he would sell it for a price and decide to join a powerful company or work as a lecturer in the engineering department of a private university.The cost of staying in the United States was indeed fully paid by the natal family of his wife's house.However, where is Heitaro Kasai in the United States now?In which school do you study?I don't know at all.The house also said that after her husband went to the United States, she only received a postcard of his arrival in Los Angeles. A certain electrical industry that commissioned a credit investigation institute to conduct this investigation heard that Heitaro Kasai was very good at computers, and originally considered poaching him, but when the company paid attention to him, he had already gone to the United States. 3 The investigation institute was unable to track Heitaro Kasai's behavior in the United States.Therefore, he had to trace his subsequent behavior from other directions, and the following is the result of the investigation. Kasai Heitaro is a self-centered person who cannot coordinate with others and does not care about others, so he is isolated no matter where he goes.At first, he went to the University of California to audit the Department of Electrical Engineering, and his choice was computers, but he thought it was troublesome to take the qualification examination in Japan, so he came directly to the United States.In fact, he has too much self-esteem and is afraid of failing the exam and being ridiculed by others. After arriving in Los Angeles, he did not go to visit local Japanese or foreign students to inquire about news, but went directly to the Japanese consulate and asked for assistance with the procedures for him to attend lectures.His sense of superiority can be seen from the fact that he went directly to the consulate without first visiting Japanese overseas Chinese. The consulate told him how to handle it, which of course is not within the scope of the consulate.I heard that if you want to study in an American university, you only need to show your academic performance in Japan, and he is quite confident about this.However, auditors are required to pass a language test.Kasai also couldn't understand the simple English (in the dialect) asked by the committee members, and couldn't speak it well, so he was not qualified.America was more reasonable than he thought.In fact, it is impossible to communicate with Americans by speaking, whether in an airplane or on the streets of Los Angeles. That's why I had to visit Japanese students studying abroad and ask about the electrical engineering department of the University of California. Sure enough, the computer technology in the United States is much more advanced than that in Japan, and Kasai's knowledge is outdated. But he didn't want people to know his weakness, so he listened quietly.Then he told the international student that the level of the University of California was too easy for him, so he wanted to go to MIT, because he heard that the standard there was much higher.In fact, at this time, Kasai Heitaro not only considered giving up auditing in American universities, but even his confidence in computer knowledge was greatly shaken. Kasai visited various places from the west to the east, and finally settled in a hotel in New York.In terms of money, I borrowed from my wife's natal family for two years' study abroad fees, so I have enough money. He wanted to take the opportunity to visit Europe, so he took a cruise from New York to England.He plans to come back to the United States as well, because he has not given up on his new knowledge of computers.The return trip is going to take a plane, and when I go, I will take a boat across the Atlantic Ocean.Buying first class in order to have a good time is much more expensive than flying. During the six days on board, Kasai Heitaro caught luck.He fell in love with a twenty-seven-year-old woman named Keiko Kazuki.Although Xu Keiko is not beautiful, she is the daughter of the owner of a large construction company in Kansai. She also travels abroad alone. For a man like Kasai Heitaro who lacks compromising nature, it is strange that people find him easy to approach in the early stages of a relationship. I guess it is the influence of his frustration and discouragement in the United States.Otherwise, he has always thought that socializing with women is as waste of time as playing mahjong.If you think that at this time he planned to get close to Keiko Kazukisu, then you are overestimating.Because when he was on the luxury cruise ship, he didn't know that she was the daughter of a millionaire. Kazukisu Keiko was deeply attracted by Heitaro Kasai. Although she was a little pale, she had a face full of wisdom and was tall and thin. She was exactly the old lady's favorite marriage partner.The purser of the foreign ship always put the Japanese passengers together at a table, but besides the two of them, the Japanese passengers in the first-class cabin were only a young couple, and they naturally got close.Keiko Kazuki came out to observe European and American architecture, of course it was pure tourism. Kasai Heitaro boasted that he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study computer technology, and he is currently traveling during his vacation and constantly showing off his computer knowledge.Xu Keiko listened with admiration, not only because of interest and curiosity about her lack of common sense, but also because there seemed to be some kind of thinking lurking in her heart. Landed in Southampton, stayed in London for two weeks, and also traveled to Dublin, Ireland.The two lived in different rooms in the same hotel, but otherwise acted in the same way.Su Keiko was more fluent in language than he was, so it became her to guide him.At this time, she inevitably developed feelings similar to maternal love. Since it was an architectural inspection, it was necessary to visit buildings in Northern Europe, so the two flew from London to Copenhagen, Denmark.On the night they visited the ancient city in the channel, the romantic atmosphere of Hamlet probably infected them, and the distance between them disappeared.From the second night at the Copenhagen Hotel, the two shared a room. When they returned to Amsterdam from Stockholm and stayed at a hotel in a coastal reserve in The Hague, the two got engaged.She had already revealed her identity when she was in London, and decided to ask her father to set up another architectural branch after returning to China, and introduce his computer technology into architectural design.So after getting married, he is not just a computer technician, but the general manager of the new company whose wife is the president. Of course, bigamy is not allowed. Kasai Heitaro is not a liar, and he did not expect things to turn out like this, so he said as early as on the Atlantic ship that he is a married man.He now declares to Su Keiko that he wants to divorce his wife. Will she agree?Kazukisu Keiko asked worriedly. I think so. Why?She is not wrong, if she does not agree to stamp, we will never be able to get married.There are too many examples of this. I don't love her, I only sent her a postcard when I arrived in Los Angeles after leaving Japan, so Therefore, it is not necessarily that the house is willing to agree to divorce.No, the house will not allow divorce.His natal family paid for him to go abroad, but he wanted to marry a woman he met there. Of course, the house was not reconciled and refused to stamp the divorce papers.House is a submissive woman, but she has a strong heart, and she loves her eccentric husband deeply. The trouble is that Heitaro Kasai longed to marry Keiko Kazuki. His self-esteem was destroyed after going to the United States, and he was losing hope for the future. If he could marry the daughter of a Kansai bourgeoisie and become the general manager of a construction company, he would have dreamed of it opportunity in life. Can't the house be persuaded?Divorce peacefully and without hurting feelings.But no matter how I think about it, I feel that there is little hope.His favorite theory of rationality is useless here.In the United States, it is illegal for a husband to live with another woman as long as the wife does not agree.Even if you agree to divorce, you have to pay a lot of alimony.This kind of man is even jokingly called a dead horse (dead horse). Kasai Heitaro has always been a person who hates disputes.In the M optics and D automobile industries, the argument is not exciting, just to avoid disputes.This is the case at work, and I don't want to cause the world's discussion for forced divorce or cohabitation with women. However, he would never miss this great opportunity.A man with a strong sense of superiority like Kasai Heitaro must be higher than his former colleagues.He couldn't bear to be inferior to them, to be worse than them.Takayoshi Mizuma, who was second only to him in the era of M Optics, is now the director of lens design.Takashi Mizuma, who is inferior to him in every aspect, has become the most important head of lens design in the optical industry. If Heitaro Kasai has stayed in M ​​Optics, this position is of course Kasai's, and he must have obtained this position earlier than Mizuma. . If you return to Japan to work now, you will be regarded as a new employee, and you will not be able to get such a position immediately.According to Kasai's experience in the United States, Japan's computer technology must have advanced by now, and his knowledge is outdated by comparison.When he was in Japan, this was beyond his wildest dreams. After arriving in the United States, he was amazed by the current situation.The destruction of self-esteem turned into terror, even fear of the current Japanese computer industry, and a series of blows brought about a nervous breakdown. It doesn't matter if it is a computer for architectural design, because it does not require the high precision technology of the optical industry or the automobile industry.Kasai Heitaro thinks that his knowledge and skills are sufficient, and he is even more advanced than others.Therefore, in terms of his own skills, or in order to gain a higher status than his old colleagues, no matter what, he must marry Keiko Katsukisu. At this time, what Xu Keiko said: But, your wife is right.Back to Kasai's ears. (Yes, if she made a mistake, grounds for divorce would stand.) 4 After thinking about it for two or three days, Kasai Heitaro said to Keiko Kazuki: I wish to marry you, but I cannot formally marry unless my wife agrees to a divorce.But she probably won't agree to divorce easily.Because her natal family had high expectations for me and paid me a huge sum of money to let me go abroad, she has always held me tightly.If I force her to divorce, maybe she will kill me and then commit suicide.It's scary because she's an uneducated woman. So what should we do?Xu Keiko asked palely, she couldn't leave Kasai anymore. I also don't want to have disputes. Of course I don't want to, although I understand her mood. I have decided to go back to Japan and live with you. Of course, I will keep it from my wife, and I will not even let her know about my return to China. What will become of that? In the beginning, she would be noisy and look for her.But after a few years, you will look away and give up on me. so easy? She is still young, and when she finds out that I have abandoned her, she will definitely leave my household registration and marry another man.The Family Tribunal will certainly agree with her grounds for divorce. Will it go well?Since she loves you so much, maybe she will wait for you in ten or twenty years. Absolutely not.After I arrived in the United States, I only sent a postcard, and then there was no news. She must have been more surprised than angry and remarried.Besides, she is still young, so it is impossible for her to stay alone. She will fall in love, no, even if she is not in love, she will have an affair.Because a wife who waits for her husband in her empty boudoir for many years is the easiest to seduce a man's heart.That's good, the fault lies with her, and the grounds for divorce can be established.When the husband is not at home, the wife behaves unruly and has nothing to say. You are also wrong, there has been no news for several years. This point will also be brought up in the family court. Of course I have shortcomings, but this cannot be a reason to forgive her for being unfaithful. In other words, there is no love for each other, and this alone can lead to a smooth divorce without causing disputes.Fortunately, no children.But maybe without going to family court, if she's in love with someone else, she'll live with or marry him.Well, about three years, I think three years from now it will be like this. So, we can't get married either? We cannot be officially married, but in fact we are already married.It's just that I feel a little wronged for not being able to hold the wedding banquet. As Kasai Heitaro said, he stared intently at Kazukisu Keiko with a melancholy expression. His eyes clearly expressed his determination to break up if he didn't want to. Well, do as you say, because I can't live without you.In front of you, I have completely become a weak woman. Kasai took Su Keiko's hand, her body trembling, and hugged him tightly. The two returned home quietly.This was three months after Kasai Heitaro left Japan.They went directly from the airport to Osaka, and told Su Keiko's parents and brother frankly everything, saying that they could officially get married in about three years, so they hoped they would agree.He also said that Kasai Heitaro's rich computer knowledge will definitely promote the progress of construction technology.She asked her parents to set up a new construction company for her, with her as the president and Kasai as a personal technical consultant.If you are a regular employee, you must declare it legally, so it will not be disclosed until the official marriage.Her parents, especially her father, had always doted on the only child, so they obeyed her.Regarding Kasai Heitaro's matter, the mother thinks that the uncooked rice has become porridge. Forget it, I hope my daughter can be happy. My brother is a kind person. He inherited his father's big construction company. It's a good idea to set up a new company for her. Give her some property. In this way, Kazukisu Keiko set up a new construction company in Osaka, serving as the president herself, while Kasai did not officially come forward, but only served as a private technical consultant.Of course, they built a beautiful house in the suburbs and lived a legally meaningless cohabitation life as a couple on the surface. Then two years passed and the company developed smoothly.The company is in Osaka, and the construction target is in the suburbs.This goal is correct.Although Kazukisu Keiko is submissive to Kasai, she is a woman with excellent management skills.Kasai Heitaro's knowledge of computers has enabled the company's construction methods to acquire excellent technology, and it is indeed one of the reasons for the good performance.However, in terms of other results, Kasai is lucky not to be the general manager.Because he lacks the talent of personnel management.Besides, it was luck that he wasn't put in charge of communication.For a person like him who is not good at communication and insists on small principles, it is better to hide aside and just silently provide computer knowledge to construction technology, which is more beneficial to the company. In the past two years, Kasai has been paying attention to the dynamics of his wife's house waiting for him to return in Tokyo, and has entrusted a private detective in Tokyo under the name of Su Keiko to conduct continuous investigations.According to this investigation report, she was troubled by her husband's disappearance, tried to investigate, and found that she seemed to have returned to her country.She herself is still waiting at her original home.During the past two years, the detective agency's report never mentioned anything wrong with the house. The outcome of the last year may change after this year.Kasai said to Su Keiko. Sending survey reports once a month is useless, it just costs money, and once a month in the future will be fine.The same is true if any changes occur and are reported together half a year. Kasai said this based on rationalism, although he no longer uses the American catchphrase. 5 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.沒有錯，住址是在東京，服務機關是Ｍ光學。從委託書的說明看來，Ｍ光學預定在石川縣該市附近建新廠，調任水間為該工廠的技術部長。因此，水間有意在那裡定居而要建造一幢獨門獨院的房屋。 笠井瞪視著與水間隆吉連名的房子這名字，應該是太太，但沒有這樣註明。在赴任地興建一戶獨門獨院的房屋不是意味著新房嗎？如果已經結婚，那應該是最近的事。 笠井雖然這麼想，卻沒有告訴須惠子。他分別寫信向原戶籍地索取他自己和房子娘家的戶籍謄本，同封付上錢，索取者的名字是假的，收錢處是郵局。 大約五天後，區公所的回信寄到郵局，笠井蓋章領取後，展閱寄來的謄本，發現房子已在六個月前遷出戶口了。房子娘家的謄本則清楚地記錄她與笠井平太郎離婚，嫁給水間隆吉。 水間隆吉與房子是怎樣認識，結合的？世界上到處都有偶然發生，所以不必驚訝。笠井想。從山中盆地的工廠到位於東京的總社來的水間隆吉，在偶然的機會裡認識同在東京的房子，並不值得大驚小怪。從年齡看來，水間隆吉可能是再婚。房子被水間迷住的過程，似乎可以想見。不過，沒有記錄這項消息的那私家偵探實在太可惡了。 這一來要和須惠子結婚的條件已經具備了。笠井想。既可正式舉行婚禮，也可以正式公開了。須惠子聽到這消息，必然會認為過去的忍耐有價值而歡呼吧。 然而，笠井卻滿心不悅。他不滿意被他輕視的水間與房子在一起，況且水間順利地步步高陞。不久以後，也許他會成為Ｍ光學工業的董事。才能比他低劣的人被高估是不合理的。他是個除了釣魚以外，沒有其他才能的人。 笠井很不滿意房子輕易地衝破等待的立場，他認為必須讓房子繼續保持獨守空閨的狀態，以懲罰她和水間這樣的男人結婚。笠井只是在那透鏡設計工廠一度和水間同事過而已，當時就沒有什麼交情，何況這當中已經有將近十年的時間不曾見面。 笠井為這委託人設計住宅，尤其對那池塘，更加費心的思考。水間隆吉仍然愛好釣魚，所以他一定想在院子裡的池塘飼養許多觀賞用的魚。既然指定要和式池塘，那麼，也許仿造心形，有變化的形狀更富情趣。 為了這項計劃，笠井收集京都各著名庭園和全國名園平面圖，利用電腦記憶，以方便設計。為了舊同事，和離他而去的妻子，他加倍細心的設計。 在進行這項作業之間，聽說委託者水間隆吉已搬到新任地石川縣的都市，暫時住在公寓，等候新房屋落成。由於這樣，委託人希望房子早日完工以便遷入。 這以後所發生的事，根據私家偵探社的調查報告書是這樣記述： 笠井平太郎於△月△日到北陸方面業務出差，大約一週後回到大阪。這當中，Ｍ光學工業△△廠技術部長水間隆吉委建的住宅已經完成整地工作，主進行造園工程。池塘是笠井平太郎設計的，他本人還親自監督部份工程。雖然如此，他出差期間的行動有許多不明白的地方，但關於這一點卻不可能調查。 水間隆吉的新屋完成了，但委託人並沒有搬入。因為水間隆吉在新屋完工前失踪了。 水間隆吉是在一天傍晚從工廠下班，回暫居的公寓途中失踪的。有人看見水間和一個高個子男人在天色已黑的路上，往新建的房屋方向而去。但因天色的關係，看不清楚。 半年前才結婚的水間太太房子，因丈夫失踪而沒有遷入新屋，建築費用也付不出來。建築公司向她購得土地，將完成的房屋賣給別人。這購屋者喜歡房屋的形式，尤其非常滿意那有池塘的庭園。 房子回到娘家，等候失踪的第二任丈夫。 不到一年，新購屋者發現池塘的數十尾鯉魚全部改變了顏色。這些都是高價的緋鯉和錦鯉，主人十分憂慮。金色和紅色變成焦褐色，並且呈現黑綠色。 水產專家來檢查後，認為可能是飼料脂肪量太高引起的。主人便拿著飼料向業者抗議，但業者堅持否認他們的飼料脂肪含量過高。並且說，別家以同樣的飼料飼養鯉魚和金魚，卻沒有這種現象發生。於是主人改變飼料餵魚，結果仍然相同，鯉魚的顏色愈來愈沒有光澤，魚兒本身也漸漸失去活力。 經過種種測驗後，想起個把月前當地發生過地震，也許因此地盤略微下陷。即使不是地震，日本海岸方面的地盤也在逐漸下陷。說不定因此池底發生龜裂，埋在池底的地基發生某種作用，因而浮現脂肪吧。 請來庭園師，把池水放掉，去除池底的小石子，果然看見水泥池底出現了龜裂。水泥可以重新塗抹，因此拿鶴嘴鎬敲開地基，再把下面的土挖開來。 從土下挖出了一具已經腐爛的屍體。原來是屍水從龜裂的水泥地滲出來，在池水中污染了鯉魚。同時從屍體已破爛不堪的衣服，辨認出水間這個姓氏。 警察開始調查這池塘的設計者和工程人員。 笠井平太郎特地把水間隆吉的屍體埋在水間將擁有的新家的庭園，似乎是預備讓房子朝夕單獨眺望丈夫骨骸上面的池水。顯然他沒有想到這幢新屋立刻轉售他人。
