Chapter 68: The Mystery Solved
Today's dinner at Nanahara's house is relatively simple, Nanahara Takeshi only made a "full-color slippery ball" with the meatballs that he was idle last night, shrimp balls, fish balls, pork balls, beef balls, mutton balls, chicken balls are all available, the taste is different but can be integrated by the soup stock and fresh juice, the whole dish is soft and tender, the juice is delicious, and it is definitely the best dish.
A psychic chef with an emperor's tongue, a police dog nose and hyperamnesia, willing to start from the preparation of ingredients, select ingredients, and do each process himself, spending three or four hours before and after meticulously crafting, even if it is not a complicated dish, the taste is still excellent, and it is estimated that it is enough to fight a dozen in the King of Chef Competition.
But Kiyomi Ruri can't take care of these delicious meatballs now, and Nanahara Takeshi picks up his favorite ones first, but he is surprised: "Kameda-san committed suicide and cheated on insurance?" What the hell is going on? ”
Nanahara Takeshi stuffed a big beef ball into his mouth, tasting a rather elastic taste and a thick gravy that came out of a bite, and said vaguely: "Kameda Atsushi is a poor man who was beaten to death by the tide of the times, he has actually been unemployed for a long time, but he has been hiding from his family, and the monthly salary he gets back is earned by doing his best to do odd jobs, before I saw that his family's passbook was a little strange, his income has continued to decrease in the past year, only occasionally fluctuating, and his wife has been forced to use meager family savings to ensure her life, It was becoming more and more difficult for him to earn money by doing odd jobs, so he simply committed suicide to cheat his insurance. ”
Kiyomi Ruri recalled the overalls and labor protection gloves in the torn cardboard boxes of Atsushi Kameda, and if she had some understanding, but she didn't fully understand, she felt very aggrieved in her heart, and said unhappily: "Who can understand what you say......
"Let's talk about it according to the timeline, but I'm just speculating, and I can't guarantee that it's completely right, I can only say that it's about eight or nine or ten." Nanahara Takeshi is very good at talking at this time, he has the habit of chatting during meals, and said while eating, "The cause of the incident happened nearly a year ago, you should always know that the bubble economy collapsed, which once triggered a wave of chain failures, and even several large banks went bankrupt, not to mention ordinary enterprises."
I estimate that the company that Atsushi Kameda worked for at that time was also a little unbearable, and wanted to lay off employees, but it was mainly based on 'lifelong employment and seniority sequence system', and it was not so easy to lay off employees, and if you were not careful, you would destroy the tradition and have a bad reputation, and even if you were sued for improper operation, you would lose a lot of money, so the company usually did not say that it would lay off employees, and it was very troublesome to pay compensation, which was not cost-effective, and it was generally carried out 'internal recruitment and retirement', which was to hope that employees would take the survival of the company as the priority, voluntarily leave, and transfer to work in other companies.
Atsushi Kameda is probably on the list, he is in his forties, his energy has long been squeezed out by work, and his ability has not kept up with the changes of the times, and he has little value, but his 'year sequence' is very high, and if he is a recent college graduate and does the same work as him, his salary can not be more than twice that of a newcomer, so he naturally has to be streamlined.
He will definitely not be happy, he has worked in the company for 20 and a half years, he must not want to leave, he wants to wait in the company for retirement, or there are other reasons, including voluntary retirement activities to find him a good next home is not to his liking, the salary is too low, etc., he does not want to go. ”
When Takeshi Nanahara said this, he ate another pill and took a sip of soup, and Kiyomi Ruri was stunned, for a first-year girl in high school, what kind of lifelong employment and voluntary retirement are really far away, but she can understand it somewhat, and asked hesitantly, "Then what next?" ”
"Next, it's time for Aiura Jimitsu to appear." Nanahara Takeshi raised his eyebrows when he mentioned this person, and said lightly, "Atsushi Kameda is unwilling to take the initiative to sacrifice to reduce the burden on the company, it is simply a corrupt character, a great crime, maybe he took the lead in making trouble, he is a thorn, the company's personnel department will definitely not spare him, probably secretly found the affiliated company Aiura, and asked him to seduce Kameda Atsushi in private, so that he suddenly found that Kameda Atsushi is a talent that is rare in a thousand years, and his work ability is simply so strong that he is willing to provide him with a very generous work contract."
On the one hand, the old company that has worked for 20 years since graduating from college wants to reduce the burden, and the personnel department knows all kinds of reason and emotion, and on the other hand, the next family looks good, maybe because of a blessing in disguise, there can be a little career development, and as a result, he has a ...... for the company It's so stupid and honest, he probably just had a sense of gratitude to the old company, so he really left voluntarily and joined Aipu Jimitsu's small company. ”
When Kiyomi Ruri heard this, she said in disbelief: "This ...... Is this possible, there are really people in this world...... So, so despicable? ”
Qiyuan Wu took the opportunity to see that Liuli's heart did not belong, and first finished the most delicious part, and after a while, he was ready to let her soup bibimbap, and said: "Yes, there is progress, you can probably guess what will happen next, but this can only be regarded as average, and some people's hearts are more ...... than mine Well, it's darker than coal, and for your own interests, or to protect yourself in order to be able to fulfill your performance requirements, countless disgusting things will happen in the workplace.
But this has nothing to do with us, back to the point, Atsushi Kameda was naturally pitted, the new contract is estimated to have a large number of text traps, there are work goals that are difficult for him to complete or there are sudden strict requirements for performance, plus the new contract was originally specially prepared to eliminate his thorn, Aiura, as a small affiliated company of a large company, is also a new employee, not afraid of a bad reputation, not afraid of contract disputes, eighty percent did not take long to turn his face and deny people, stuck in the terms of the forced dismissal, or did not allow him to go to work, He didn't pay him a salary, so he dragged him until he gave in, and took a little compensation and walked away.
Since then, Atsushi Kameda has been inexplicably unemployed, twenty years of hard work have been ruined, and the family has no main source of income. ”
This is similar to what Kiyomi Ruri guessed before, but she was still stunned for a long time, and muttered: "It's really vicious, they're really bad, but why didn't Kameda-san tell his wife that he had to secretly do odd jobs?" ”
Nanahara Takeshi ate the balls and said vaguely: "Maybe I feel that I feel very guilty because I have been deceived and ruined my family income, and it is difficult to speak, maybe it is because his wife has been in poor health and has a chronic disease and has been taking medicine for a long time, and he is afraid that his wife will be worried, and he is no longer willing to take medicine, and he is even forced to go out to work, so he pretends that nothing happens, and goes out to work every day in a suit and leather shoes, and then goes to do manual work and odd jobs, barely maintaining various expenses at home and paying off the mortgage." ”
Kiyomi Ruri suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder he went to such a remote and cheap place to rent a house." ”
"Renting a house is not the reason." Qiyuan Wu shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice, only his own door has a nameplate on his own door in that hundred courtyards, and his surname is written on it." ”
Kiyomi Ruri recalled for a moment, a little confused, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?" ”
Nanahara Wu looked at her speechless for a moment, and suddenly felt that she was very good like this, and said with a smile: "This kind of nameplate pasted on the door or on the side of the door, or the table, has only been popular in this book more than sixty years ago, when the postal reform began to popularize among the people, and the surname was pasted on the door, just for the convenience of one kind of person, that is, the postman."
Atsushi Kameda posted the nameplate to prevent the postman from finding him, sending it to the wrong room, and losing important letters before he deliberately marked where he lived, and the reason why he was worried about this was because he had been looking for a job, and he needed a fixed address to find a job, and no company dared to ask for it without a fixed address, nor could he send letters such as interview notices, but he didn't dare to let this kind of letter be sent to his home, so he could only squeeze out money to rent a cheap apartment to receive letters. At that time, he had not given up hope for life, and he hoped that he would survive this difficult time. ”
Kiyomi Ruri reacted, Nanahara Takeshi made sense, if it was just a simple change of clothes, there was really no need to rent a house on purpose, find a temporary locker at the station, and go to the bathroom to change It would probably be enough.
And when she heard about Kameda's tragedy like this, she felt a little empathy, her empathy was already very strong, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then did he succeed?" ”
She knew that ninety percent of the answer was not a good one, but she still had the hope of what happened, hoping that things would end happily, but Nanahara Takeshi took out a photocopy of the "Kameda Secret Language Book" and opened it, looked at the entries that were forcefully crossed out one by one, and sighed: "I don't blame you for saying stupid things this time, of course Kameda didn't succeed, he spent nearly a year looking for a job, but how can it be so easy to find a serious job after the bubble bursts, he is in his forties again, which company is crazy will choose him as a regular employee, The ones that were crossed out were the ones he received and were directly rejected, and the small part that was not crossed out was not even the rejection letter, and he was still looking forward to a good result one day. ”
Kiyomi Ruri also looked at the "secret language book" blankly, feeling that the puzzle had been solved, but it didn't seem to be the answer that could make her happy, and she was uncomfortable for a while before whispering: "No wonder we haven't been able to understand, it turns out that it is his job search record for a long time, and I am afraid that I will miss something and be inadvertently seen by my wife, so I will write it as a secret language......"
Nanahara Wu nodded: "It's the same with long-term rubbing to eat and taste food, probably the company he used to stay in was larger, there was a canteen, he couldn't find a reason to bring a bento often, and it was too strange to go home directly after work every afternoon, plus he was reluctant to spend money to buy food, so he could only wander around the commercial street when he was hungry, and he could rub a little bit is a little." ”
With Nanahara Takeshi's words, Kiyomi Ruri seemed to see Atsushi Kameda walking on the commercial street in a daze, mixing in the crowd and picking up a piece of tasting and quickly stuffing it into her mouth, and then quickly leaving with an embarrassed expression, and this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little sour just thinking about it.
She didn't expect to take a random "exorcism" commission, and she could find out a tragic thing that happened to ordinary people, even if she finally solved many mysteries, she still couldn't accept it for a while, the whole person was at a loss, and muttered: "So, he was killed, lost his job, couldn't find a job, became more and more desperate, and the money he earned from odd jobs became less and less, and finally he couldn't hold on, and he felt that the family was going to be destroyed, so he couldn't control how many times he cried out and was heard by the neighbor next door?" That's why he wanted to commit suicide to cheat the insurance, and wanted to make the last effort to leave an insurance money for his wife and children? ”
Nanahara Takeshi put a pill on his plate, but when he said this kind of human tragedy, it seemed that his conscience suddenly found out, hesitated for a moment and then dialed it to Kiyomi Ruri, and sighed: "I think so, and there is a very important reason that it has been almost a year, and the personal accident insurance he originally had in a large company is about to expire, and Aipu will not renew it for him, and he himself has no ability to renew it, and that accounts for the majority of the insurance money, he just wants to leave more money for his wife and children to ensure that they can repay the mortgage and live a stable life, We have to act this month, and we can't wait for things to turn around. ”
Kiyomi Ruri was silent for a long time after listening to it, fiddling with the fragrant meatballs with chopsticks, completely lacking her appetite, and Nanahara Takeshi also looked helpless.
It's really unlucky to say this, he usually took a commission to exorcise the spirit, it's really just a hard money, I didn't expect to check and find out this kind of "little people's exclusive tragedy", but it is this kind of "little people's tragedy", a person who was killed by the tide of the times, will make people feel extremely unhappy, and he had nowhere to steam his anger before, and beat up the gangster, the mistake that the guy made, just take his wallet away, so as not to stuff it into the trash.
It's really speechless, and it's too weird to say that this society is too weird, otherwise why do you always encounter strange things, maybe you shouldn't stay in this book in order to prevent yourself from starting to go to extremes one day, it's better to move.
