I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 147 After a person dies, there are only two autopsy reports
Kodansha headquarters, sixth floor, president's office.

"Muramatsu-kun, take a look for yourself. This is a letter I suddenly received this morning."

Noma Sawako crossed her arms and her attitude this time was completely different from last time. She looked like she was ready to accuse someone.

Tomomi Muramatsu picked up the letter from the table. The letter was typed on a computer, and the top line in bold black font read: "Introduction to Tomomi Muramatsu, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Editorial Department of Kodansha's "Gunzo"."

This looks like a resume about myself.

what happened?

Is there anyone who still sends their resume to the company at this time?
Muramatsu Tomomi opened it for some reason, and the first thing he saw was a huge headline: [Muramatsu Tomomi's crimes in the past two years].

His heart sank suddenly and he immediately read on quickly.

"Muramatsu Tomoshi, deputy editor-in-chief of the pure literature magazine Gunzo under your company, took advantage of the opportunity to give a lecture at the Dongri Cultural Center at the end of the year before last to forcefully approach Matsubara Rinko, who was then a calligraphy instructor at the center. He knew that she was a married woman, but he repeatedly called her home and used sweet words to seduce her."

As he watched, Muramatsu Tomoshi's heart began to beat violently and sweat broke out on his palms.

Who wrote this letter?!
Why did you expose this matter at this time?
Muramatsu Tomoshi hurriedly glanced at Noma Sawako. She was sitting quietly in the boss's chair with a playful smile on her lips. It was obvious that she had read the letter.

He looked at Kashiwamura Takeshi who was also called over.

This old friend, with whom I had worked for more than ten years, shrank his head like a quail and said nothing.

Muramatsu Tomoshi could only grit his teeth and continue reading.

"After the first month of last year, Muramatsu Tomosuke repeatedly asked Matsubara Rinko out for trysts. Finally, in April of the same year, he successfully tricked her into a hotel in Tokyo, forced her to have sex, and committed adultery with her."

Nonsense!

Seeing this, Muramatsu Tomomi couldn't help but clench his fists. He really wanted to tear it into pieces and burn it, but in front of the president, he had to hold his anger and continue reading.

"He then took advantage of the innocent character of the other party's housewife, threatened to tell her husband if she did not meet him, and forced her to meet his various sexual demands.

Including but not limited to making her wear red underwear, performing perverted sexual acts, taking many photos, and even asking her to satisfy her lust during her father's mourning period!"

The more Muramatsu Tomoshi looked, the more shocked he became. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and he didn't dare to look up at Noma Sawako's expression.

The letter also said that Muramatsu Tomomi deceived Matsubara Rinko into living with him, and the two rented a room in an apartment in Tokyo and lived there like a couple.

Muramatsu Tomosuke's current behavior has led to the collapse of the woman's family and caused great physical and mental harm to her honest husband.

The letter ended with "Your company actually entrusted such a shameless person with an important position and trusted him so much. This cannot but make people question your company's management attitude. Please find out the responsibilities that the person involved should bear."

After reading the letter, Muramatsu Tomoshi just raised his head and Noma Sawako sat on the sofa opposite him.

Muramatsu Tomoshi was at a loss as to what to do. He could only stand up straight and bow at a 90-degree angle, then lowered his head and said, "I'm very sorry, President Noma."

If this kind of letter was sent to Noma Sawako at this time, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Muramatsu Tomoji.

Before, Noma Sawako advised him to go to Yamanashi Prefecture, but he kept making excuses, thinking that there was no need for him to take the blame for Noma Kawai.

Muramatsu Tomoshi felt that he had never made a mistake at work, and hundreds of eyes in the editorial department saw that he did not participate in the joint essay writing project.

Even if you are the president, you can't just put the blame on yourself, right?

However, no matter how much he planned, he never expected that Noma Sawako would find this fatal handle on him!
"I don't know who sent this, but I saw it when I got to the office this morning."

Noma Sawako looked at him expressionlessly, her voice very cold.

“Of course, at first I didn’t believe it was true, and instead thought it might be someone else making up a rumor to slander you.

But since the letter has been sent to the company, we can't just ignore it. Don't you agree, Muramatsu-kun?"

"Yes." Muramatsu Tomo's heart sank.

"Because this matter concerns the reputation of you and your wife, and may also affect that Matsubara Rinko and her husband, so I secretly sent someone to verify it."

Sawako Noma tapped the mahogany table with her fingers, and the sound gradually became louder.
"The last information we received was that you had indeed had several trysts with this housewife named Matsubara Rinko, and you had also lived together with her in an apartment in Tokyo for several weeks.

Tsk, Muramatsu-kun, I never realized you are so lucky in love.

That's amazing! I'll never get a letter like this again."

Noma Sawako's laughter was full of jealousy and ridicule.

Muramatsu Tomoshi was sweating profusely and didn't know how to answer her question.

There are two people who know such details about his relationship with Rinko and are most likely to have written such a letter.

That is, his wife or Rinko's husband.

But listening to what Noma Sawako said at this time, we cannot rule out the possibility that Noma Kawai or Kashiwamura Takeshi obtained this information through a private detective.

It is even possible that the mastermind behind this is Noma Sawako.
In short, no matter how he argued and explained, he was dead this time.

"Okay, I'll return this letter to you."

Noma Sawako handed the envelope to Muramatsu Tomoshi, then she stopped smiling and took out the personnel transfer order.

"Also, sign this personnel transfer order and take it away."

Muramatsu Tomoshi took the two envelopes tremblingly, without saying a word, he silently took out the personnel transfer order and took the pen handed to him.

He was about to sign, but was shocked to find that he was not going to the Modern Study, but to the Kyorong Society further down.

To be precise, he will transfer from the deputy editor-in-chief of Kodansha's "Gunzo" editorial department to the head of the logistics department of Kyoeisha in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Gongrongshe is a branch of the company that is specifically responsible for commodity management and circulation. It is a factory-style company with extremely high performance requirements but extremely low salaries.

"Kyoeisha?" Muramatsu Tomoshi suddenly looked up at her.

Noma Sawako nodded and said leisurely, "Yes. After consultation with the company's board of directors, it was decided that it would be better to send the older Kashiwamura-kun to the modern study.

Muramatsu-kun, didn't you say that you control your sugar levels very well? I remembered it wrong last time. At your age, you can still continue to make contributions to the company. It would be unfair for you to retire in a modern study.

Don't worry, I definitely didn't send you to the Kyoei Society because of this letter, and I haven't told anyone else about the letter."

Muramatsu Tomoshi's heart sank completely.

Now there are only two choices before him: resign, or go to Kyoeisha and wait for death.

Under Japan's workplace rules of lifetime employment, once you resign from a company, all your retirement benefits will be reset.

He is 52 years old this year and has missed the opportunity to quit his job and start a new life, which is why it is impossible for him to go to Hede Shobo.

If he chooses to go to Kyoeisha, only a miserable fate in his later years in the workplace awaits him.

In the Japanese workplace, there is a saying about "company assignment": "An assignment is exile. If you are in a company once, you can forget about it."

Why are Japanese so afraid of corporate expatriates?
The example of the unlucky Kondo in the Japanese drama "Hagane Naoki" is the best explanation.

Kondo was originally an employee of the bank's head office, a true elite. He was sent to a subordinate company as the director of the finance department, and seemed to be doing very well.

But in reality, first of all, all your connections and social interactions at the head office and in Tokyo over the past decade will vanish into thin air, and you will have to be exiled to another place with your entire family, and it will also become a problem for your children to go to school or transfer to other schools.

Secondly, because you come from the headquarters, your salary during the first three months of the "newbie protection period" will still be based on the standards at the headquarters, which is much higher than other employees in the new company. Everyone knows this.

You are an "elite" from Tokyo, earning several times more than everyone else, but you are also an outsider, so you will inevitably be excluded and bullied.

After the novice protection period is over, you will completely become an ordinary employee like them. At that time, the high performance pressure and low salary and benefits, coupled with being excluded and bullied, most people cannot withstand this kind of mental pressure.

And you may also be under pressure from your family.

For example, your wife may be dissatisfied with your reduced income, or your child may develop a mental illness due to being excluded after transferring to another school, etc.

At this moment, Muramatsu Tomoshi suddenly regretted not agreeing to go to the modern study room before.

He felt that in the 52 years of his life, the originally bright sky suddenly became dim and as if it was about to collapse!

Muramatsu Tomoshi didn't know how he walked out of the company. He wandered around the street alone, walking aimlessly, and didn't want to go home.

When his wife learned that he was going to be the vice president of Modern Bookstore, she immediately took out the divorce agreement that she might have prepared for a long time, but he kept dragging his feet and refused to agree.

Because if they divorce now, he will not only have to pay a large sum of divorce compensation to his wife, who is the weaker party, but he will also have to pay high alimony regularly every month.

He has to pay the mortgage on the house they are living in alone, and half of the property belongs to his wife.

Most of the other properties must also be divided among his wives!
The two of them still have room to turn around because his wife is not completely unable to accept going to Yamanashi Prefecture to become the vice president's wife.

But if it was the wife of the logistics director of Kyoeisha, she would definitely ask for a divorce decisively and force him to submit at all costs!
The more Muramatsu Tomoshi thought about it, the more headache he had, and before he knew it, he came to a public telephone booth.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he called Rinko's home again.

This time the call was answered quickly.

But Rinko's voice is very bad. She encountered the same thing, and it was even more serious than Muramatsu Tomoshi!
The two soon met in a cafe. Rinko told him that a few days ago, when she arrived home at around 11pm, her husband was still awake. She said "I'm back", but her husband didn't pay any attention to her and just buried his head in a book.

Rinko noticed that there was something wrong with his attitude, so she explained to him that he came back late because of an emergency event at the calligraphy center.

Seeing that her husband still didn't say a word, she could only go upstairs to change clothes. At this moment, her husband's voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Wait a minute, I know everything you did."

His words pierced Rinko's heart like a sharp knife.

"I also know where you have been sleeping and with whom." The husband's tone was very certain.

"He even knows that your name is Muramatsu Tomomi."

"How is it possible?" Muramatsu Tomo's heart inexplicably tightened again.

He thought that one day the truth would be revealed, but he never thought it would come so soon and so suddenly.

"Did he say anything else?"

"He told me you could have fun with him all you wanted. You're a dirty whore! I hate you, but I'm not divorcing you."

Muramatsu Tomoshige remained silent, as if he was being scolded.

"It's funny how we're opposites, isn't it?"

"What do you mean by opposite?" Muramatsu Tomoshi looked at Rinko and felt that the light in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.

"You don't want a divorce, but your wife is determined to divorce you; I want a divorce, but he insists on locking me in the grave of marriage."

Rinko looked at him, her voice getting lower and lower, but her mood became more and more wrong.
"Not only that, my mother also knows about it."

"your mom?"

"Yes. Remember what happened on the night of our father's funeral? My hairpin fell there, and then he found out about us, followed the clues, found out everything, and ran to my mother to tell her again."

"My mother listened quietly at first, but then she became angrier and angrier, and finally she started crying."

From Rinko's intermittent narration, Muramatsu Tomoshi seemed to see the sad look of Rinko's mother.

"My mother was just guessing at first. After I admitted it, she was very shocked. She asked me how I could raise such a shameless daughter like you."

Muramatsu Tomoshi said nothing and just continued to listen to Rinko.

"She said it was a shameful thing to do, and your father must be sad in his grave. She started crying and asked me who that man was."

"What do you say?" Muramatsu Tomoshi asked.

"I also told you your name. I can't hide it anymore." Rinko's eyes were filled with tears. "Youshi-kun, now I have lost everything. You are the only one left."

"Me too." Muramatsu Tomoshi said the same thing as he looked at the woman who was fourteen years younger than him.

"Let's leave here." Rinko suddenly looked up at him, "Let's go to Yamanashi Prefecture. I'll go with you to Kyoeisha, and I'll be your department head's wife there. We'll go far away and never come back, okay?"

"What about your family?" Muramatsu Tomo's heart was warmed.

"You're the only one left in my family now," Rinko whispered, "You're everything to me, Tomoshi-kun."

"Okay! Then I'll go back to the company to handle the formalities right away!" Muramatsu Tomoshi nodded.

Rinko continued, "Okay, then I'll go to the district government to get the divorce agreement, sign my name and send it to him. Even if he disagrees, after proposing the agreement, I'll be single. No one will ever say that I'm having an affair or having an extramarital affair again."

"Then take two."

"Friends Viewer"

"I've made up my mind. As long as I can be free again, I'll get a divorce. With you here, I can always start over even if I go to Yamanashi Prefecture, right?"

"Then we're both single."

"No one will say we are having an affair or being immoral anymore."

"Well! After I get to the company, I will book a ticket to Yamanashi Prefecture immediately, the sooner the better!" Muramatsu Tomoshi felt like he couldn't wait any longer.

"Hmm. Um, Youshi-kun. Before we leave, can we go to 'Peter Cat'? I want to meet Mr. Kitagawa and let him know that West of the Sun does exist. Let's go back and look for it."

Rinko lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

She is afraid of rejection.

But Muramatsu Tomoshi nodded.

Before leaving, he also wanted to see Teacher Kitagawa again.

do not know why.

He always felt that if he didn't meet her this time, it would be difficult to meet her again in the future.

Maybe it’s because Yamanashi Prefecture and Tokyo are too far apart.

It's approaching evening.

Kitagawa Hide and my wife Yumeko sent Saito Rena and others out of the cafe one by one. They were about to close the cafe when two people suddenly jumped out from the side and scared them immediately.

"Teacher Kitagawa, I'm very sorry for the intrusion!" Muramatsu Tomoshi was holding a gift box in his hand, and a dignified and elegant woman was following him.

Kitagawa Hide was stunned for a moment, then he welcomed the two of them into the cafe and introduced them to my wife Yumeko.

Agatsuma Yumeko was about to greet them with a smile, but Matsubara Rinko bowed slightly and revealed her true identity to them.

Hearing that the two actually wanted to turn from an "extramarital affair" to a "legal husband and wife", even the knowledgeable Kitagawa Hideya was surprised.

He knew about Muramatsu Tomoya's affair. Extramarital affairs were very common among middle-aged people in Japan.

But just like what he wrote in "Border".

Due to the social system and various factors, such extramarital affairs are either kept hidden or end up like "Hatsu" and Shimamoto, with each of them being well and back on track.

Almost no one is willing to give up family, social relationships and everything in life and be together so resolutely.

Because the essence of west of the sun is death.

Before leaving, Rinko Matsubara smiled and begged Hide Kitagawa to sign his name on a March issue of "Bai Yi", and said that once they found "West of the Sun", they would write the answer under his name and then send the magazine back.

Muramatsu Tomo saw that the two had made up their minds, so Kitagawa Hide and Wazuma Yumeko could only wish them well and watch them leave hand in hand, hoping in their hearts that they would really have a different ending from "Hatsu" and Shimamoto.

"Xiu-jun~ Life as a middle-aged person seems to be very painful."

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Agatsuma Yumeko tilted her head and said.

To her, their lives were still very far away, something she could not understand.

Kitagawa Hide has relatively more feelings as a person in his two lives, but at this moment, he can only sigh and say: "I hope that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Muramatsu and his team can achieve their wish."

But he never expected it.

When I heard from Muramatsu Tomoshi and the other person again, all I got was a long letter, a copy of "Wenyi" sent back to me, and two cold autopsy reports.

In early April in Tokyo, cherry blossom petals began to float in the sky.

Today, "Peter Cat" was also closed on a weekday, which is rare.

Even Aso Mayumi and the other two who came here every day to work and study were told to have a day off.

Kitagawa Hide sat alone in front of the computer desk, holding Pete in one hand and gently opening the book "Literature and Art" with the other hand.

Below his signature, there is no answer to “West of the Sun.”

There was only one sentence written by Rinko with a brush: "Please forgive our last willfulness. Please bury the two of us together. This is our last hope."

There were two cold autopsy reports opened on the side.

It turns out that after a person dies, all there are are two autopsy reports.
