This chapter's epigraph comes from the novel's first chapter, which was written by the same author as the one in this chapter. The epigraph says that the murderer was a farmer who was killed by a businessman. The farmer was killed because the businessman loved the woman, and the woman was not a good-looking woman. The man who killed the farmer was a rich businessman, so the woman must have been his lover. The old man asks the old man's son-in-law if he thinks the murderer is the farmer's wife. The young man says he thinks it is the mistress of the perfume-maker's house, and that the woman is a worker. The father asks the captain of the prison to send someone to the clothing shop to find out who the killer is. The captain says he's not fast, so he'll go to prison.
