Shinjo passes Fumiko a complimentary accommodation coupon for one of the local hotels and promises to meet her again in Nagasaki. That weekend, Shinjo has a quarrel with his wife, Kayoko (Fueki Yoko) at Shonomaru Sake Brewery which he runs.

It is their usual quarrel. Then he drinks the tea that Kayoko had ordered and collapses without moving in the next instant. Right after that, an employee called Amemiya Sanae (Takahashi Kaori) turns up at Kayoko’s place. Unable to tolerate his tyranny, the two of them had planned his murder.
