Episode 39: Kengo Kadokura
Kengo Kadokura is a
peeping tom.
If this fact is made
public, Kadokura will be socially obliterated.
But how to publicize
this is the problem.
It wouldn't be good if
I were to spy on Kadokura at the moment he was taking pictures of the inside of
women's skirts on the escalator at the station.
If I'm not careful, I
may be mistaken for a peeping tom.
If that's the case,
should I anonymously report to the police to mark Kengo Kadokura?
No, I don't think the
police will do anything about that.
It's not as if Kadokura
is always taking pictures.
With my clairvoyant
ability, I closed my eyes and watched Kadokura's every move while I was in my
room.
Three hours passed as I
patiently continued my surveillance.
After three hours of
persistent surveillance, it was getting dark when Kadokura, who had finally
finished his surveillance, was on his way home.
Kadokura's house was a
three-story mansion.
It didn't seem like the
kind of place where a guy who skipped work to indulge in secret photography
could live.
As Sasaki-san had told
me, Kadokura was greeted by his strong-willed wife.
Then a cheeky looking
boy in his early elementary school years came to the door and pointed a toy gun
at Kadokura.
“Hmmm...... I wonder
why he's doing voyeurism when he looks so happy, this guy.”
After finishing his
dinner, Kadokura went to his room and locked the door.
He then begins to
transfer the data from the phone he had been taking videos and pictures of
earlier to his computer.
“Hmm?”
After watching for a
while, Kadokura started burning DVDs on the computer.
He put stickers on the
burned DVDs and packed them in a bag.
“Could this guy be
......?”
My hunch was right.
Kadokura had
unexpectedly taken the video footage and made a DVD of it, and was selling it
on the Internet.
“I see. So it was a
combination of hobby and business.......”
◇ ◇ ◇
The next day, I contacted
Sasaki-san during her lunch break and told her the truth about Kadokura's true
nature.
I thought she would be
happy to know that I had gathered materials that might be able to eliminate
Kadokura socially, but suddenly Sasaki-san started crying on the other end of
the phone.
“Um ...... what's
wrong? Sasaki-san, are you
okay?”
“...... hiccup......
gush......”
I can hear the tears
spilling out.
I decided to wait until
Sasaki-san stopped crying.
I'm a detective now, so
I have plenty of time on my hands.
Five minutes later.
“I'm sorry......it's
fine now.”
Sasaki-san said weakly.
I don't think she's
okay at all.
“What's going on?”
I asked.
“...... I was actually
dating a colleague from the same department until now.”
Sasaki-san began to
talk in a faint voice.
“I was dumped just a
few minutes ago at .......”
“Could it be because of
the incident at ......?”
“Yes...... he believed
what Kadokura said and did not believe me. We even talked about marriage, and
yet.......”
“……Is that so”
I couldn't think of
anything to say.
Unfortunately, I'm not
the type of person who can say something wise at a time like this.
“Please k.......”
Then Sasaki-san
whispered something to me.
“What is it?”
“……please”
“Oh, I'm sorry. Please
speak a little louder.”
“Please kill Kadokura”
Her voice was very
cold, yet at the same time somewhat fragile.
