Chapter 345 The Ivory Tower
9:36 a.m., Kyoto Kujo Hospital, Ward No. 806.
Kitahara heard that Yuuki was awake and came to see her. After all, this accounting investigator was his former ally. He once teamed up with the Kyoto District Prosecutor's Office in the Morimoto corruption case. Later, he confronted Eto in Nijo Castle.
At that time, he was shot in the abdomen by Eto with a shotgun.
Fortunately, Yuuki has a great destiny.
Although sequelae are inevitable, it is still good to save one's life.
Yuki was lying on the hospital bed, still receiving fluids, and her face was a little pale. She heard someone walking into the ward, raised her head, and then froze. She obviously didn't expect it to be Kitahara, the young male lawyer.
I have worked with Kitahara before.
Then I saw that Kitahara alone was able to bring down Kyoto University and find out Eto's whereabouts.
Yuuki no longer dares to underestimate Beiyuan.
After being stunned for a while, Yuuki showed her signature smile that was a bit charming. Although her lips were not blood-colored at the moment, they seemed to be covered with lipstick.
"I didn't expect it was you." Yuki said.
"What? Who do you want to enter the ward?"
"Lawyer Kitahara, with all due respect, you are like a disaster star. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have received this shot."
"I think I am a lucky star, otherwise how could Investigator Yuki recover so quickly."
"you……"
"..."
"How are you doing with your health? I see you are recovering well."
"In two weeks, I can be discharged from the hospital and return to Tokyo." Yuki suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and said: "I think, after this time, after returning to Tokyo, maybe the two of us will be together in the future.
, there may be room for further cooperation. Perhaps, you will be interested in some cases of the Accounting Inspection Service. In particular, it may be related to Eto.
"There were some cases that I didn't understand clearly before, but since I came to Kyoto and worked with you as a lawyer, there are some cases that I can now understand. What do you think, Lawyer Kitahara, are you interested?"
Kitahara did not directly respond to the Accounting Investigator. Of course, it would be good to have an extra helper. But the question is, how deep is the Accounting Investigator's position? Will there be any informants from other forces? These are all practical issues that must be considered.
"Lawyer Kitahara. When a woman takes the initiative to express interest in a man, it is a man's basic etiquette to reply politely."
"Wild flowers on the roadside cannot be picked casually. Above etiquette, there are men's principles."
After Yuki heard this, he rolled his eyes at Beihara.
"Where's the lawyer beside you named Miyagawa?"
"She said she must buy you a bouquet of flowers and is looking for a flower shop nearby."
"Are you a man's principle?" Yuki suddenly smiled evilly, and then put his hand on his injured abdomen, "I'm talking to Lawyer Kitahara. If I can't have a baby in the future, will you be responsible for me?"
"Click, click, click." The sound of Kitahara's leather shoes sounded in the ward, and the male lawyer walked out of the ward without looking back.
"Hey! Lawyer Kitahara!" Yuki's voice came from behind...
…
…
At noon, after visiting Yuuki, Kitahara and Miyagawa drove to Kyoto University. Kitahara and the others had packed their luggage and planned to go back to Tokyo directly. However, Miyagawa suddenly remembered that there were still some things left at Hirose's place.
Kitahara Hirose was the monk of Mr. Shimokawa who was plagiarized in the Fujimura plagiarism case. He and Miyagawa were high school classmates before. So Kitahara drove to Kyoto University.
However, April in the spring happened to be the time when the university started school. When Miyagawa returned to the car after getting his things, the campus roads inside Kyoto University were blocked by other vehicles.
Kitahara could only drive slowly forward in it.
While driving the vehicle, Kitahara looked at the campus of Kyoto University and couldn't help but recall the previous case.
Yuki just told him in the hospital about the latest news from the Accounting Inspection Institute——
Okawara has already absconded. It is said that he used a fake passport. On the day of the incident, he luckily passed the customs inspection and boarded a flight to Ross. Ross has no extradition agreement with either East or West. He will be safe there.
The final outcome of the matter is very ironic. The industrial and research enterprises were concocted and a large amount of public funds were lost. The people who were embezzled finally escaped to other countries unharmed. It will probably be even more difficult to pursue Okawara and punish him.
things.
However, Okawara was able to use a fake passport to exit customs, which also shows that there must be other forces helping Okawara.
After all, who are the forces behind Okawara, Eto and others?
Unknowingly, the vehicle arrived in front of the university gymnasium.
The entrance ceremony was being held inside.
Thousands of college students wear black suits and sit neatly on the seats in the gymnasium. This is a unique sight at the entrance ceremony in Japan. You will not see such a scene at the entrance ceremony in most countries. When thousands of students
When all the students are dressed like this, it is a bit visually shocking.
"Students, we propose to observe a moment of silence for the victims of the Shinkansen train accident."
In the gymnasium, the college students stood up in excitement.
After half a minute of silence, he sat down again.
Kyoto University is still the top university in Japan.
However, the expressions of every university management, faculty, and freshmen at the entrance ceremony were complicated. The train accident, the extremely bloody incident, the previous riots at Kyoto University, Takeuchi's resignation, and the antagonism between students and the university on campus are still there.
has not dissipated. And for the new students, they are even more confused.
Of course, most people are even less aware of the scandal in Okawara.
Once this matter about the authority of Toyo Kogaku University is exposed, I don’t know what kind of shock it will cause.
"Now, let's invite the freshmen representatives to speak."
The sound from the stadium's microphone also reached Kitahara's car.
The freshmen who took the stage were slightly nervous and said some words that were probably official rhetoric. The content was probably nothing more than that their first choice was Kyoto University, and I was very honored to be admitted to it. I will definitely study hard and live up to my years.
Of course, this freshman representative spoke very seriously. From the bottom of his heart, he believed that it was a great honor to be selected as a freshman representative. This year’s freshman representative happened to be from the engineering major. At the end of the speech, his immature youth experience was still
It made him believe in the beauty of the world.
He finally said: "I hope to become a person who is helpful to Toyo's engineering in the future and contribute a small contribution to our Toyo's engineering."
The freshmen representative finally concluded like this.
Perhaps this is somewhat ironic.
The Okawara scandal happened precisely in the field of engineering.
This formed an extremely dazzling contrast with the speeches of the freshmen representatives.
Coincidentally, at the end of the freshmen's speeches, the traffic jam on campus also eased a bit.
Kitahara stepped on the accelerator slightly, and the vehicle drove forward.
There was silence in the car. Neither Kitahara nor Miyagawa spoke a word just now. I wonder if they experienced too many people and things in Kyoto. At this time, although they were speechless, the silence was better than everything.
As the vehicle continued to move forward, Kyoto University's iconic camphor tree and the teaching building appeared in the side window.
The scenery keeps going backwards.
Memories keep coming back.
When he finally left, Kitahara suddenly turned back and took another look at Kyoto University
During these few months in Kyoto——
Kitahara saw many people and things - the bullied student Hirose and lecturer Shimokawa in the Fujimura plagiarism case, Fujimura who blatantly plagiarized regardless of academic ethics; researcher Morimoto and his new wife in the Morimoto corruption case
, there are also Okawara who promotes the industrial research strategy, boasts, and does not hesitate to blame others; Vice President Takeuchi who was involved in the university degree revocation case, and Mikiko who was once willing to be the mistress of many professors.
What he saw were people—
What I saw was also the university——
This place called "university"——
