After the Storm Page #3

We'll cover Beethoven.

Yes, Opus 131.

So that's what that CD was about.

It's just a small group.

I'm just preparing for class.

Where does he live?

Number 226.

I figured. One of the upscale condos.

What about his family?

He has a wife, right?

Apparently

she passed away three years ago.

Why?

There were women's clothes

in the dry cleaning he was carrying.

They must be his daughter's.

You detectives dummies a thing, do you?

No, you're wrong.

The eagle eyes of a novelist.

When I was walking here the other day,

a butterfly kept following me.

The blue one?

I thought ii must be your dad.

I said, ls that you?

And ii landed right there.

So I said to him,

I'm perfectly happy without you,

so don't come for me for a long time.

And it fluttered away.

I expected a better ending.

Too bad.

Why is the slide in the park

all fenced off?

A child fell off,

and the community board fenced it off.

Isn't that silly?

It was the clumsy child's fault.

Right.

Do you get to see Shingo sometimes?

Yeah. He started playing baseball.

Baseball? That boy?

I thought I'd buy him a baseball glove.

Is Kyoko well?

She's the same.

Busy with her job.

A woman with her own career.

It doesn't always work.

But it's not broken, is it?

I've been careful with it.

I can offer 3,000 yen. No more.

Fine. I'll take that.

Say, aren't you Mr. Shinoda's...

Yes, I'm his son.

I knew it.

Father seems to have been here a lot.

One time, he gave me such a hard time.

He said he was desperate for money

to pay for his son's surgery

and brought in a tattered scroll.

Surgery'?

Yeah, he said you had a tumor.

I've never been hospitalized.

Right? That's what I figured.

Hey, dear!

That scroll, was it a Sesshu?

Yes, it was.

But it was only a print.

A Print?

Only the box was authentic.

He even demanded money

to celebrate your recovery.

He was out of control.

Dear?

I guess she stepped out.

PAWN SHOP:

We're having so many typhoons this year.

Typhoons?

Yes. There's another one coming.

Sorry. The parking lot was far away.

- I ordered you coffee.

- Thank you.

- Did you already...

- Not yet.

There's never an excuse

for being in a love hotel.

You husband will use this evidence

to get a good divorce settlement...

so he doesn't have to pay you alimony.

What a stingy jerk.

It happens a lot.

Your coffee.

Why did my life turn out like this?

But why are you showing me this?

Of course,

we could just deliver ii to our client.

But if you prefer not...

Of course I prefer not.

We could simply

make the evidence disappear.

You can make it disappear?

Yes.

Just between us.

For how much?

We have to deliver something

to our client,

so we'll give him fakes.
