-Kitano-

It's always the littlest thing that will bring somebody down. BTK was brought down by a pap smear. Matsunaga Futoshi was brought down because he was too stupid to kill the daughter of one of his victims. The Son of Sam was brought down by parking tickets. Al Capone was brought down by tax evasion. Leopold and Loeb were brought down by a pair of glasses. The point is they were all brought down through one little detail they didn't consider.

I say this because we are about to witness this little fact in real time.

It all started with a fender bender in Tomari.

The incident occurred around ten in the morning on the eighteenth of December. A police officer was on his morning patrol when he came across a strange sight. A car was crashed off of the side of the road. Nothing too serious.

The cop rode his bike over to the car against the guard rail.

"Good morning there, sir. Are you okay?" he asked. The driver, a man in his early to mid-sixties, turned his head.

"Uh... yeah, yeah, yeah," he said. He looked out at his car.

"I guess I must have hit a patch of ice or something," he said.

The cop raised an eyebrow.

"License and registration, please?" he asked.

The old man reached into his glove compartment and pulled out his wallet. The cop took a look at the id. A confused look came over the officer's face.

"Uh... Sir, can you step out of the car for a moment?" he asked. It was the old man's turn to look confused.

"Something the matter?" he asked before opening his car door and stepping out.

"Are you really Nakahara Jiro?" the cop asked. The old man paused as it dawned on him what he had done.

"Oh..." he said.

Turns out, Nakahara Jiro-sensei was never dead at all. In fact, he and his mistress faked their deaths after Kyoko-sensei caught them cheating on her in his office. When she left for Scotland, they made their move. He messed up his office and covered the walls in pig's blood. After that, the doctor and his secretary ran away to Hokkaido. From there, you can guess what happened. They lived like a happy married couple while Kyoko stayed in Scotland with whispers behind her back. Some people even called for her head on a platter.

That all changed that morning on the eighteenth.

Now what can be done? Not much, really. First of all, the statute of limitations had already expired. There is a debate about whether or not faking your death is a crime. Jiro and his mistress didn't fake their deaths for financial gain. Kyoko was originally going to get the insurance money but Jiro changed it the day before. His mother was the one who got the money. No, the plan was all for love. For thirty-seven years, the plan worked.

That was until Jiro got into that little accident on the road.

Jiro and his mistress, Airen, were crucified online. They became Japan's most vile couple. Netizens didn't hold back either.

You're evil!

Why couldn't you just get a divorce?

How dare you do this to Kyoko-sensei!

You are the scum of the earth!

How could you be so selfish?!

Poor Kyoko!
