Nogiya Bookstore

The interior of this bookstore is unified in light white tones, giving it an open impression, and the walls are covered with books, but there is no sense of oppression.

Tomoshi Ooka entered the bookstore and looked along the shelves.

The shelves in the center of this bookstore are filled with new books in the fields of art, design, humanities, culture and other related fields, and the left and right shelves are not simply divided into categories, but more according to the content, and are very detailed, so people who come to this bookstore to read can easily find the books they want.

It is worth mentioning that this bookstore also has the characteristic that in addition to new books and special sale books, as long as it is determined that "this book is needed on this shelf anyway", this bookstore will do everything possible to find and put it on the shelves.

As a result, the bookstore has received a lot of praise, and many customers have reported that even after looking for a long time in some used bookstores, they have found the books they want in this bookstore.

It didn't take much time for Tomoshi Ooka to see Pei Ziyun, and when he went up, he heard someone talking.

"Among the new contemporary Japanese writers, I only read the books of Shinichi Yamada!"

"It seems to me that there is no other generation in this generation that has the potential to become a national writer. Sota Imai took Pei Ziyun's new work and talked to his girlfriend who was holding hands.

Sota Imai, who wears a pair of glasses and a couple's suit, is a white-collar worker who works for a Japanese river protection company, mainly responsible for the maintenance of this piece, and his income is okay.

Now that the company is on vacation, Sota Imai deliberately hangs out with his girlfriend.

And Sota Imai and his girlfriend Kumeda Tomoki have a common characteristic, that is, they like to read, that is, because they love to read, they meet by chance in the bookstore, meet each other, and fall in love.

Recently, Sota Imai found a few good works, so he recommended them to his girlfriend Kumida Tomoki.

This is Pei Ziyun's "Who is the Second Man" and "The Night Wanderer", especially the Night Wanderer, Zong Tai is even more in-depth, fascinated, and thinks this book is his favorite.

""Who is the second person", it has a lot of connotation, and it has won my heart!" said Sota Imai, shaking the "Night Walking Ghost" in his hand again: "But this book attracts me more." ”

"Even this nocturnal ghost who is contrary to the times, but he has always adhered to his beliefs, and this kind of life born for the sword is really charming, and I am fascinated by it. ”

"Yes, Mr. Yamada, you deserve to be the winner of the Araki Prize!" said Kumeda Tomoki, with a sincere attitude and no flattery for her boyfriend.

"I really longed for someone like that in 'Night Crawler'. Sota Imai looked yearning and sighed softly, although he was already a regular employee of the Japanese River Protection Electric Company, he was facing a lot of pressure, and he had to compromise on some things, and sometimes even violated the principles he had always adhered to.

It is for this reason that Sota Imai admires and yearns for the life of the protagonist in the book "Night Walker", who always adheres to his beliefs.

"Although Mr. Yamada has only published two works, these two works all reflect a unique world view and emotional view!"

"His works are not only full of fun, but also learn a lot of ways to live in the world through his works. Kumeda Yuki also added: "Presumably, although Mr. Yamada debuted late, he must have entered middle age, right?"

She guessed.

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun smiled and did not speak.

Behind Pei Ziyun, Ooka Tomoshi listened to the two of them commenting like this, and whispered to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-kun, I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's worthy of Yamada-kun, it's really admirable to have this achievement!" Tomoshi Ooka said, turned to the service staff and said, "Please give me, Yamada Shinichi or two books, "Who Am the Second Person" and "The Night Wanderer", please!"

said to Pei Ziyun again: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the coffee shop next door to sit?"

Seeing Pei Ziyun's jaw, Ooka Tomoshi went to the cash register, and now because there are not many people in the bookstore, the two of them lined up for a while and went out.

There is indeed a café next door to the bookstore, this café is not big, the environment is quite nice, very quiet, and it is very suitable for conversation.

In the café, Tomoshi Ooka ordered two cups of coffee and said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-kun, I really can't imagine that you can be so outstanding in this field in addition to kendo!"

Tomoshi Ooka bowed his head and said, this is sincere, for Japanese society, or any society, the sacrifice and role of a samurai is great, but it declines with the decline of physical strength and life, and it will not leave many traces in history.

But a successful writer and a good work may leave a long-term spiritual imprint!

The coffee was served quickly, Pei Ziyun took a sip of coffee, frowned, and said, "It's over, to be honest, I'm surprised, you're only looking for me now!"

At this time, it has been a month since the last assassination case of Keiji in Saibetsu Prefecture.

In the middle of this month, Pei Ziyun's graduation exams have been completed.

In fact, after the incident, Pei Ziyun thought that Tomoshi Ooka or the Bandong family would immediately find him, but he didn't expect Tomoshi Ooka to withstand such pressure for a month.

You must know that when Pei Ziyun's death occurred in Keiji in Xibetsufu, he used the power of the Sichuan Shrine to check on the Bandong family.

After the inquiry of the Kangawa Shrine, Pei Ziyun knew that in the face of the power of the Bandong family, it was not easy for Ooka Tomoshi to resist and not implicate himself.

Knowing this, Pei Ziyun's impression of Ooka Tomoshi has changed a lot.

"But I still have to look for you. Ooka Tomoshi couldn't help but smile bitterly, stirred the coffee with a fork, and told Pei Ziyun the words of Sachiko Bandong at that time.

Especially the words that Sachiko Bandong threatened at that time, Tomoshi Ooka emphasized it, and said to Pei Ziyun: "If you can't find the real murderer, she will let me and you bury her husband together!"

Pei Ziyun listened, with a cold light in his eyes, and did not answer, but asked Ooka Tomoshi: "You have definitely not been in vain this month, what have you found?"

Ooka Tomoshi took a sip, took a sip, and said directly to Pei Ziyun: "I suspect that the next hand is someone from within the Bandong family." ”

Pei Ziyun was unmoved, and said: "That killer is not an ordinary person, he has been strictly trained, you have this suspicion, it is understandable." ”

"However, even if it is an infighting in the Bandong family, Keiji Nishibetsufu is just a son-in-law, and it doesn't involve inheritance, so why kill him?" Pei Ziyun was a little puzzled.

In Japanese society, there is still a big difference between men and women, and in the extreme way, even the wife and daughter of the chief are only a little higher than the ordinary junior brother, and they cannot scold senior cadres.

In the family, women are often at the bottom of the line, especially inheritance.

As long as the son has a little talent, he will not consider the inheritance of his daughter, let alone his son-in-law.

"Yamada-kun, I thought the same way before. Tomoshi Ooka said, he also had the same opinion: "But the result of my investigation is like this, for the person Keiji Nishibetsu wanted to save last time - Bando Yuanzi." ”

Saying that, even if there was no one around, Ooka Tomoshi still approached Pei Ziyun's ear and whispered: "Bandong Yuanzi may be the next head of the Bandong family!"

“…… This, impossible, right?" Pei Ziyun was taken aback, sat up straight, the dignified Bandong family can be called a consortium, and there are three sons, why did he pass the position of the head of the family to his granddaughter?

Yuanzi is the granddaughter of Bando Masashi, the head of the Banto Foundation, and even she can't talk about whether she is outstanding or not, she is only fifteen years old, and I heard that she is not in good health and is cultivating in Hokkaido.

Bando Yuanzi's father, Banto Tsukishi, is not very good, he has mastered a small piece of the Banto Foundation, and now the latest product promoted by the Banto Foundation, the small withered leaves, is managed by Bando Tsuishi.

This product is said to be significantly improved, body weakness, susceptibility to disease, obesity, constipation, endocrine disorders, yellow face, palpitations, poor sleep quality, easy to get angry, bad breath, skin dehydration and other problems, once implemented, relying on the network of the consortium, it quickly became popular all over Japan and became one of the best-selling health care products in Japan.

The product of the small withered leaves got a piece of cake for the Banto consortium in the health care product market, but that's all.

When it comes to the inheritance of a consortium or family, even Bando Eshishi can't compete with his two elder brothers, let alone Bando Yuanzi.

In Japan, foundations and families pass on the right of inheritance to men rather than women, and the eldest son to the eldest son rather than the second son, and these traditions will not change unless there are special circumstances.

Even if the head of the family is seriously ill, it can't be Bandong Yuanzi's turn.

"Moreover, how can the position be passed on to the granddaughter, how can it suppress the shareholders of many companies, and how to explain it to the cadres?"

There is a misconception that many people think that the total size of the consortium is equal to the capital, and more so to the family (private) assets, which is really ridiculous.

The Bandong consortium is composed of 29 companies, and more than 100 companies are involved through holding and share exchange, but the total shares of the Bandong family in it will not exceed 15% at the peak!

Oda Nobunaga of Owari Province, he is the lord of Owari Province, Owari Province is known as Ishitaka 570,000 koku (Keicho time), but the Ishigao directly under the Oda family does not exceed 150,000 koku, and it belongs to Oda Nobunaga alone, no more than 50,000 koku!

The Tokugawa shogunate, Tenryo (direct control), also had only 4 million stones, accounting for about 1/5 of the world.

It is a miracle that any consortium that has become large-scale and old-fashioned, and the family owns more than 15% of the shares.

"I don't think it's possible to do this, but I came to this conclusion not so much because I found it myself, but because someone deliberately told me. "Tomoshi Ooka understands very well, and he was very surprised when he learned the news, because it was a suicide.

"Who told you, could it be Kuashi Banto? He has been sick for a long time, and is he finally crazy?"

The Banto Foundation, not so much a family, is more of a general, each company is a relatively independent daimyō, and the directors and cadres as the flag capital, also hold a certain small amount of shares, the whole system is complex, layer by layer, in this case, inheritance is not the will of the individual, but the choice of the entire consortium.

That kind of wealthy house fight is actually a layman, and it is useful to simply please the head of the family?

Even Banto Kuashi did not have the strength to suppress the entire consortium on his own initiative, and at most he passed on the shares under his own name, but once the daimyo of each company became suspicious and suspicious of this, the Banto consortium would fall into turmoil and division.

Now, Bandong Kuashi, who was once known as a generation of masters, has he gone crazy?
