-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 44 BC, the Roman consul Caesar was assassinated. He discovered that his most trusted assistant and close friend Brutus was among the assassins, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You too, Brutus!"
In order to get the attention of the director, Takuya deliberately approaches Yasuko, who is in charge of the board affairs. Just when Takuya is about to become the son-in-law of the director, Yasuko suddenly says that she is pregnant with his child and uses this to blackmail. At the same time, Naoki and Hashimoto, who are having an affair with Yasuko, are also blackmailed.
The three of them then decided to devise a clever plan to kill Yasuko.
The operation started as planned, but Takuya, who was responsible for transporting the body, discovered that the deceased was Naoki.

The Heart of Brutus uses pure, neat and clean colors to see through the source of evil hidden in the cracks of society. Fatalistic arguments, social injustice and the darkness of human nature can be seen in this book. This characteristic later became the subject of extensive description in Higashino Keigo's writings. ——Yu Xiaofang (Advisor of Jinan University Mystery Club)
