204.For consecutive three days，Kyuutarou's colleagues sent small silk figures to Mieko，and told her that Kyuutarou had gone to Hokkaido on business.Mieko believed，saying，"That suggests the company trusts Kyuutarou，more errands can improve his work ability."
205.The lie was repeated on the fourth and fifth days.But on the sixth day when the same lie was told，tears fell down from Mieko's face.She wept to the colleagues，"Whatever had happened to Kyuutarou？Please tell me.Tell me，please.You're killing me." Urged by Mieko repeatedly，the colleagues had to tell the truth，and they told her the court would be opened two weeks later，and no parole was permitted during the trial period.
206.In addition，the colleagues had also told her the company had employed lawyers to defend Kyuutarou，and his schoolmates and teachers had also organized a support group to guarantee his rights in the trial.
207."Has he left any message or something？" Mieko asked."No，nothing." Kyuutarou's colleague shook his head.At these words，Mieko fell into deep speculation.Suddenly，she seemed to have thought of something，urging the colleague earnestly，"Escort me home，please.Take me home for once."
208."Please don't go home； the doctor won't let you travel around.You're about to have a baby，it would be too dangerous." But Mieko did not listen to him，and she insisted by saying，"Just escort me if you're afraid of the danger.If you don't，I'll go home alone.That would be really dangerous.Let's go just now."
209.With people's help，Mieko left the hospital.As soon as she got home，she cared about nothing but straightly going to the attic.Just as she had expected，there were three letters on the desks，which were written by Kyuutarou.
210.The first one was for Mieko，and it reads as such： My dearest Mieko，my dearest love all my life，when you read this letter，I may have been put into prison.At the moment when you are to give birth to our baby，I cannot stay beside you； at the moment when you undergo the utmost pains，I cannot give you my console and solicitude.Here I express my profoundest apology to you，my beloved wife.
211.Only by now have I deeply recognized the persuading look in your eyes.That look not only meant to persuade me into going home in time，but contained more.But why did I not understand it earlier？
212.My beloved wife，I've thought myself smart，but only by now have I realized how I've lacked discernment.During the nearly 30 years before tonight，I've been living a muddleheaded life，without discerning what is right and what is wrong.Only when I met you did I began to understand and discern right and wrong，and good and evil.
213.My dear wife，how I wish I could stay with you in love，for I'm too aware of myself，a mixture of good and evil，love and hatred，and right and wrong.Also due to the miseries that originally exist in the world，evil and hatred began to expand inside me wildly.It was the love you've given me，talked to me and shown me that stopped me in time，ending my ignorant hostility against the society.
214.My dear wife，how I wish I held you in my arms for long.It is your broad breast that has warmed the cold heart of mine，awakened the soul of mine that had betrayed good，and brought them back to good and love.
215.My beloved wife，my love all the time，now I deeply regret and reflect my previous ignorance and confusion.The wrong doings that I've committed due to such ignorance and confusion had led me to a wrong way，and they would separate us forever.I'm a man of law，so I'm quite aware of it.Such wrong doings are essentially improper revenges，which imbalanced the society which had come to be harmonized.So，what I've done are unforgivable sins，and punishment is what I deserve.
216.My dear wife，I plead you to take care for the smooth delivery of our child，and bring him up.That is the only request I have for you.
Your husband Kyuutarou Hibachi
217.The second letter on the desk was written to his father "Jiu Yueshuang"，which goes like this：
My respected father，although I've never seen you，you've been a hero，a brave warrior in my mind ever since my childhood.Even by now I'm still keeping a collective picture of you and my mother，which was left by my mother when she died.And it has been only the clue for me to look for you all these years.
218.My heroic father，my mother had suffered a lot before her death.At her death bed，she left a message telling me to look for you.Since I was 15 years old，I've written 9 letters to Hulan County，Helongjiang Province to look for you，but there was no answer because of a variety of turbulences in China.My beloved father，you can never imagine how I dreamed to see you.Are you still alive？Have you survived in the fierce war？I'm very concerned with you.But I've made up my mind.So long as you're still alive，I will continue to look for you.
219.Another purpose for which I wrote this letter today is to tell a piece of good news，you're about to have a grandson.So long as you're still alive，I'll leave no stone unturned to bring him to you，bring the family together.
Your son Kyuutarou Hibachi
220.The third letter was written to the unborn son，which read：
My dear baby，You're my future and hope，my burning sun in my mind.I love you，the son of Mieko's and mine.I welcome you most sincerely and passionately for you to come to us and be the son of Kyuutarou and Mieko，the grandson of "Jiu Yueshuang"，Bacon，Kiyoha and Nobuko.I welcome you to come to this wonderful and warm family.
221.My dear baby，you're my future and hope.My son，I，your unseen father，has to go out for long，and may not be at home after you're born.Please don't blame on him，for he has gone to cure trauma caused by hatred with his love and good.Don't be anxious for the absence of your father； for you still have your mother to foster and take care of you.She will bring you up with her enormous love，****** you a man useful to the society.My child，I've so many things to tell you，how could these few words express me enough…
Your father Kyuutarou
