1:30 noon.

Kyoto, Liston Hotel, Room 1306.

Kitahara and Miyagawa were in the guest room, grabbing pizza and eating lunch. Kitahara has been living in this hotel since he was released on bail by the Kyoto police pending trial. Miyagawa also lives on the same floor, and her father happens to be

Recently, I also came to Kyoto to negotiate the acquisition of a local law firm to set up a branch in Kyoto for expansion. So the father and daughter also stayed in this hotel.

"How is Hirose? Have you seen her?" Kitahara asked while chewing pizza, "How is her mood after the lawsuit is over?"

"It's pretty good." Miyagawa bit the straw and sipped the Coca-Cola. "It's just...it's just that after she graduates, she wants to go on an overseas study program. She may stay overseas and work as a language teacher there in the future."

Miyagawa's eyebrows drooped a little, as if the depression of parting with his best friend was flooding back into his heart.

"Where is Teacher Shimokawa?" Miyagawa immediately asked, "How is he?"

"Over there." Beiyuan put a fried shrimp into his mouth. "An archaeological excavation project of a batch of Qinlu bamboo slips recently appeared in Dongtu. He was invited to participate. It is said that this is a big project, and there may be no one."

He won't be able to come back in three to five years. But it seems that an overseas Sinology center has already sent him an invitation for a professorship. It is estimated that he may have to live overseas permanently in the future."

After Beihara finished speaking, the two people in the guest room suddenly seemed to be unable to find a topic to talk about.

An unusual and strange feeling suddenly arose in the minds of both of them.

do not know why.

The lawsuit was won, but there seemed to be fewer and fewer people around him.

It was as if there was an invisible hand holding them tightly.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.

These people leaving vaguely symbolize an ominous omen.

Just like before a big earthquake occurs, there will be inexplicable animals that startle away.

Everything seems to indicate that there is a faint crack in this national giant ship called Dongyang. However, the passengers of this giant ship are still singing and dancing day and night, tirelessly dancing and singing. Everything is so beautiful.

, everything is so prosperous. Everyone seems to think there is no problem, however, this is the biggest problem.

No one could have predicted that an unprecedented bubble collapse was approaching. The clock has been pressed. It depends on how many really smart people can get the escape ticket to get off the ship first.

The TV in the guest room was playing the news. On the screen, the female host with a sweet smile bowed slightly and started to broadcast the news.

"Recently, the Kyoto Sakyo District District Court officially pronounced its verdict on the case of plagiarism of ancient books. The court ruled that Fujimura, dean of the Graduate School of Humanities at Kyoto University, had infringed on the work "The Journey to the Eastern Lands to the Tang Dynasty" written by the associate professor of the school, Shimokawa Somori.

Right. It is said that this case judgment has also caused great controversy in the legal circle. However, no matter how huge the legal controversy is, this case has had a very negative impact on the reputation of Kyoto University."

"Yesterday, 13 university management of Kyoto University jointly signed the "Academic Integrity Initiative." The school's controversial vice president Takeuchi also attended the signing ceremony. It is said that the university's academic ethics committee has decided to launch a self-examination

The self-correction movement will never tolerate any possible academic misconduct."

"However, based on the information we have now." The hostess glanced down at the lecture notes in her hand, then raised her head, slightly widening her smart eyes, "Based on incomplete statistics, this incident of plagiarism in ancient books has occurred.

Since then, a total of 13 professors from Kyoto University have resigned. This year’s college entrance examination, the number of students admitted to Kyoto University has hit a 10-year low.”

"This Kansai's highest university in the East is obviously facing the most severe challenge in its more than 100 years of existence. Let us wait and see whether it can successfully overcome the current difficulties."

Miyagawa watched the news, raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and took another sip of Coke, "This is retribution. Who allowed them to plagiarize Shimokawa's works like this, and also protect Fujimura like this? This is what they should do!"

Miyagawa swung his legs back and forth slightly, "I also heard from Hirose. Sendai University knew the information about Imai's revenge on Teacher Shimokawa, and canceled his default appointment. This is how the world should be, done.

If you do bad things, you will be punished."

Beiyuan watched the news just broadcast on the TV without saying a word, as if he was lost in some kind of contemplation. As if the news broadcast was not good news. Then the young male lawyer picked up the

There was a glass of ice water next to me and I took a sip.

"Kitahara, why didn't you react at all when you saw this news? Don't you feel relieved?" Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly and let go of the straw he had been biting for 5 minutes.

"How should I put it? Miyagawa, what you just thought was very beautiful. I hope that people who do bad things in this world can be punished." Kitahara leaned on the chair and said, "However, the regret in this world is that good people often do not die well.

, bad people often live a long life.”

"Why am I so indifferent after seeing this news?" Beihara looked at Miyagawa beside him and said calmly, "Do you know the reason?"

"Why?" Miyagawa couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

Kitahara immediately said, "Have you noticed that until now, there has been any news about the university punishing Fujimura? Before this copyright dispute was raised, Shimokawa had already filed an application for a disciplinary investigation of academic misconduct with the university.

However, now that the verdict has been issued, the university’s disciplinary investigation into Fujimura’s academic misconduct has yet to produce any results.”

The tone of the man in front of him was a bit cold.

These words were like a sharp knife, splitting another covering curtain in an instant.

The moment he heard these words, Miyagawa's eyebrows trembled visibly. It was as if he suddenly discovered an extremely terrifying fact. Yes, they had already seen Fujimura apologize to Shimogawa. They had also seen the university suffered.

There was a lot of public pressure.

However, it is true that, as Kitahara just said, the conclusion of the academic misconduct investigation on Fujimura has not yet appeared until now.

As for the consequences Fujimura will face, Miyagawa knows nothing about what kind of university disciplinary measures Fujimura himself will face, other than knowing that his dean has been removed.

Many times, once someone points out something wrong with your daily routine, you will instantly realize how ridiculous things that were so natural before turned out to be.

Miyagawa suddenly felt a creepy feeling rising, and his tone of voice unconsciously dropped, "Kitahara, do you know why Kyoto University has not punished Fujimura so far?"

Kitahara shrugged his shoulders, "Unfortunately, I don't know either. I don't understand why the university didn't cut off Fujimura immediately after the verdict."

Of course, although Kitahara said he didn't know, he did not tell Miyagawa the true and cruel answer.

"Why in this world, good people can't get good rewards, and bad people can't get bad rewards?" Miyagawa lowered his head, and his beautiful eyes seemed to dim a bit.

"Well, that's a good question. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. Why is such a simple truth still not possible in our world?"

Kitahara sat on a chair and answered.

Just now--

He did not answer Miyagawa's true and cruel answer -
