A block wall approximately 1.3 meters high and 2.4 meters wide. The two upper floors collapsed, and a 6th grade boy was seriously injured, breaking his leg. Each one weighs about 10 kg, so even an adult can barely lift it. This means that 12 objects have fallen from the elementary school student’s eye level. There were no reinforcing bars in the collapsed part to support the wall.

■Grandfather angered by “8-week complete recovery” for 6th grade boy

Child victim’s grandfather: “I would be most grateful if my injuries healed quickly. They are children. They are in pain.”

A grandfather worries about the safety of his seriously injured grandson.

Grandfather of child victim: “I just want the route to school to be improved in many ways.”

On the 26th, a 6th grade elementary school boy who was on his way to school in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, was crushed by a collapsed block wall and sustained serious injuries, breaking his right shin bone.

Sabae City Board of Education representative: “(The child) touched the block wall with his hand at the scene of the accident, and the top two levels of the block wall collapsed.”

If you compare it with the footage of the site before it collapsed, you can see that the top part of the block wall has completely disappeared.

According to the city, the brick wall that collapsed was stacked in six tiers and was approximately 1.3 meters high. The average height of 6th graders is about 146 cm, so this means that the block that was around their face fell.

Furthermore, the collapse of the wall revealed problems that cannot be overlooked.

■Block wall collapse: “There was no rebar”

Sabae City Board of Education: “No traces of reinforcing bars were seen in the exposed areas.”

No reinforcing steel bars were visible from the cross section of the collapsed wall, and no buttresses were installed to support the wall.

Sabae City Board of Education person in charge: “(Q. Did the owner not know about the reinforcing steel?) I haven’t been able to confirm that much. (The owner) is sorry for causing you such trouble and pain this time. It looks like we caused you trouble.”

Did the owner leave it there knowing it was a “dangerous wall”? The victim’s grandfather is furious.

Child victim’s grandfather: “Even the owner said, “I knew it was going to fall,” because it’s already old.But (the owner) is elderly.I can’t say anything unreasonable.”

The city conducts safety inspections on routes to and from school, but this time the block wall was not included because it was the area leading to the meeting place. From now on….

Sabae City Board of Education representative: “The owner said he would remove (the block wall) and replace it with a fence.”

■“It’s no good without reinforcing steel” experts point out

This time, the block wall collapsed. Is it a violation of the law to not put reinforcing steel inside?

Takashi Moriyama, first-class architect and architectural economist: “If you don’t put reinforcing bars in a block wall, it won’t have a certain level of strength.If you don’t put reinforcing bars in it, it won’t work.This is even stipulated by law.”

However, the mandate began in 1971.

Takashi Moriyama, 1st grade architect and architectural economist: “What about things that existed before the law was enacted?’ are “existing ineligibility.” The interpretation is that they already exist, but they don’t meet the current law. Old things can’t be helped to some extent. It may have been necessary to inspect and check it and adjust it to the current strength, but it is difficult.

In response to this accident, an emergency meeting was held by principals of elementary and junior high schools in the city, and the Board of Education requested an emergency inspection of dangerous areas by the 4th of next month.

Mai Watanabe (25) was sent to the prosecutor’s office for defrauding a man of approximately 27 million yen using romantic feelings. She called herself “Riri-chan,” and sold a manual on how to get money from men.

■“Itadaki Joshi Riri-chan” received over 200 million yen from a man

The money received is believed to be over 200 million yen.

Suspect Mai Watanabe: “Magical Girl Riri-chan, a married high school girl who protects world peace!”

Suspect Mai Watanabe, also known as “Riri-chan”. She is suspected of having charmed a 50-year-old man she met through a dating app and defrauding him of approximately 27 million yen in cash.

Suspect Watanabe: “I borrowed money from an acquaintance, and if I didn’t pay it, I would have to sell my body to a sex shop.”

■Selling manuals using romantic feelings

Furthermore, Watanabe had written a manual of the techniques under the name “Riri Itadaki” and sold it on the Internet.

Masanori Sento, an expert on fraud cases involving young people: “The word “taku” is also a clever word. It’s easy for girls to use, and it’s a word that stings. I guess it kills the smell of crime.”

Mr. Sento, a writer, has been interviewing Watanabe suspect for three years. The man who gave the money was called “Oji”.

Masanori Sento, an expert on fraud cases involving young people: “Women who want to make money by deceiving men 24 hours a day exchange information on how to deceive old men.“Lili-chan” is the truth. , he is the guru among them.”

This is the manual that Sento-san obtained a few years ago. “Magic” refers to the procedure for “receiving” money from men. He was explaining a successful interaction with “Oji”.

Suspect Watanabe: “Yes” “It’s tough”
Oji: “What happened?”
Suspect Watanabe: “No. It’s nothing.”
Oji: “Tell me what happened.”
Suspect Watanabe: “I don’t want you to hate me.”
Oji: “There’s no way you’ll hate me.”
Suspect Watanabe: “Really?”
Oji: “Yeah. Absolutely.”
Suspect Watanabe: “Actually, it seems like my seniors at work don’t like me right now. So, we’re bullying each other a little.”

It may seem like it’s just a matter of advice, but…

Suspect Watanabe: “I want to quit.”
Oji: “Don’t quit!”
Suspect Watanabe: “I can’t quit…”
Oji: “Why?”
Suspect Watanabe: “I owe money to someone above me. That’s why I can’t quit. I have to pay it back.”
Oji: “Is that so?”
Suspect Watanabe: “Yes, but I’m already suffering mentally, crying every day, and I just want to die.”
Oji: “No.”
Suspect Watanabe: “But I can’t stand being here anymore, I’d rather die.”
Oji: “I’ll do something better than die.”

Suspect Watanabe’s manual: “At this point, I would like to say, “Will you give me money?” but that’s definitely not the case! I try to induce the customer to say “I’ll help you (I’ll give you money).”

In addition to how to prepare as a “tataki girl”, the manual also includes things to be careful about when accepting money and what to do afterwards.

Masanori Sento, who is knowledgeable about fraud cases involving young people: “I’ve written about why you won’t get in trouble, but all you have to do is provide proper aftercare after taking money from an “oji”.”

And in the end…

Suspect Watanabe’s manual: “I wish for your happiness.”

Far from bringing happiness, this manual has become an opportunity for new crimes.

A female university student in Nagoya is said to have defrauded two men out of over 10 million yen. In this case, Watanabe was also arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting fraud, as he was said to have assisted in the fraud by selling the manual. According to investigators, the manual was sold to about 1,000 people.

A fraud case that takes advantage of romantic feelings between a man and a woman. The manual also contains the reason why Watanabe became a “Itadaki Joshi”.

Manual sold by suspect Watanabe: “I have a person in charge (a designated host) and I want to contribute a lot! This is the whole reason I started using magic!! So I cast a spell on all the customers on LINE, and inside it… I still can’t forget the emotion I felt when I suddenly received 3 million yen from a real lover.”

According to investigators, the money that Watanabe received from the man is believed to be over 200 million yen, but there was almost no money left in his account. Suspect Watanabe admitted the charges, saying, “I committed the crime because I wanted money to play.”
