Arahara Taro Izakaya

The manager was a middle-aged man, ******, and there were a few people sitting around sparsely drinking small wines.

Izakaya is a distinctive culture in Japan that offers quality meals unlike ordinary taverns that only serve sake, but unlike restaurants and noodle restaurants.

The chain of izakaya has not only enriched the variety of sake, but also made the price more popular, and it has become a place for companies to get off work and meet with friends, and even students often hold simple banquets at izakayas.

Urban white-collar workers go to an izakaya for a small gathering after work, go to two or three izakaya in one night, and go home drunk and drunk, this is their happy life.

In one corner, the atmosphere between Mitsuki Nakamatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi was very solemn.

Mitsuki Mitsumatsu saw that Kenichi Taniguchi's wine glass was empty, so he went up and poured the wine, and in Japan, when the wine was empty, the friends around him, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, would help instead of pouring it himself, which is a social culture.

"Thank you very much. Kenichi Taniguchi thanked him habitually, and he took a big sip of it, looking very bad, not only that, but even Mitsuki Mitsumatsu looked very tired, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

Nowadays, the smoking ban in Japan is becoming stricter, and izakaya can still smoke freely.

After taking a sip, Mitsuki Mitsumatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi didn't speak, only looked at each other with serious expressions.

Mitsuki Takamatsu thought about it, but he still spoke first, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Kenichi, this matter doesn't look good." ”

After saying this, he put the cigarette in his hand in his mouth and took a hard puff.

In fact, after Mitsuki Nakamatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi met, they decided to investigate the truth behind Shinichi Yamada's Ooka award.

It's now the seventh day.

They were shocked by the development of the situation, as well as the results of the investigation.

First of all, you can't find out the information of Yamada Shinichi, you know, in today's Japanese society, it is very simple to find out a piece of information, but you can't find any detailed information about Yamada Shinichi, which is a bit scary.

Mitsuki Takamatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi changed their minds and began to investigate who was supporting Shinichi Yamada, and the information that came out of the investigation made the two of them creepy.

The clues that the two of them noticed alone involved big names such as Takashi Odabayashi, Hironori Kikuchihara and Akihiko Kimhisa.

Oda Hayashi Takashi's name is Akicho, and although he is only a top writer, his identity background is extraordinary, his father is the late founder of the Seibu Group and former speaker of the House of Representatives Jiro Oda, and his half-brother is Tatsuo Chiku, who was the chairman of the Seibu Railway Company.

As a writer, Odabayashi's most famous works include "Rainbow Scorpio" by the Ooka Prize, and "Father's Words", which depicts his father Jiro Oda, and was nominated for the Ogawa Prize.

Now, Takashi Oda is not only a top writer, but also elected as a "Cultural Meritor" in Japan, and has a pivotal position in the entire field of Japanese literature.

According to an in-depth investigation, it was discovered that the person who nominated Shinichi Yamada's "Night Wanderer" was shortlisted for the Ooka Prize!

Kikuchi Hara is a big entrepreneur, born in Kagoshima, Japan, founded Kyoto Jewelry Co., Ltd. and Scarlet Telecom, and is inextricably linked to the Banto Foundation, Japan's top property.

According to the investigation of Mitsuki Mitsumatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi, it was discovered to the horror that Hiroshi Kikuchi Hara had visited several judges of the Ooka Award a few days before the release of the Ooka Prize.

Akihiko Kanehisa is a famous critic and director, and his work "The Flying No Returnee" won the Best Director Award at the Japan Film Critics Awards the year before last.

In this review of the Ooka Award, Akihiko Kanehisa was one of the judges.

Mitsuki Tsukamatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi discover that he is related to Shinichi Yamada, and it is Akihiko Kanehisa who is related to the film adaptation of Shinichi Yamada's "Ghost of the Night".

Mitsuki Takamatsu learned from a friend that the film "Night Walker" directed by Kamitsuki was distributed by Sumitomo Hino Film and Television Company, and Akihiko Kanehisa was a shareholder of Sumitomo Hino Film and Television Company, holding 5% of the shares.

And also released the movie in time for the Ooka Prize.

"What's even more terrifying is that many media outlets have downplayed the negative news of Ooka Awards, even on the Internet. ”

"From the current point of view, the Banto Foundation, the Yoshida Foundation, and the Hino Foundation are all involved. ”

"Maybe the shogunate, too. Mitsuki Tsukamatsu and Kenichi Taniguchi said to each other, their faces turned blue, their vests were cold, and at some point, the wine in the wine glass dried up again, Mitsuki Mitsuki Mitsumatsu finished the cigarette in his hand, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray hard, swallowed his saliva, calmed his mood, and said in a hurried voice: "Kenichi, no matter what, although we belong to different newspapers, we are all classmates, and we all have the conscience of the media, I think we must continue to investigate!"

Mitsuki Tsukamatsu looked at Kenichi Taniguchi with expectant eyes.

Kenichi Taniguchi was not ready to be a deserter directly at this time, he thought about it and said: "You're right, we can't give up now, I still have a friend, he should be able to give me deeper information!"

"Is it? Could it be Takahiro Katsuranta?" Mitsuki Mitsumatsu took a sip of wine to calm his mind.

Between each other, both of them know each other, and this cannot be hidden.

"Yes, Takahiro Katsuranti is my senior, when I was in college, he was the minister of our club, I was the deputy minister, and I had a three-year friendship with him!"

"Moreover, he is a member of the Katsura Valley Consortium, and he will not be much worse than the Bandong family!"

The Katsura Valley Foundation is also one of the Japanese foundations, with strength comparable to the Bandong family, mainly engaged in the field of automobiles and machinery, is a multinational automobile production and sales group, automobile production and scale is also among the top ten automobile manufacturers in Japan.

In addition to automobiles, there are also various power machinery products related to agriculture such as generators and agricultural machinery, and on the whole, the Katsura Foundation is a leading group in the field of automobiles and machinery.

Takahiro Katsurutani is the fourth son of the Katsura family.

"It turned out to be the Katsura Valley Foundation!" Hearing this, Mitsuki Fukamatsu also breathed a sigh of relief, raised his wine glass again, and only then took a sip before hearing the sound of the phone call of "Didi".

A phone call came, Kenichi Taniguchi answered the phone, and at first greeted him in a respectful and intimate tone, and then changed color: "What, not only the Ooka Prize, but even the Ogawa Prize has already begun to go through the nomination process? This, how is this possible?"

"Yes, Taniguchi, please give up, or I won't be able to keep you. This sentence came out of the phone on the other side, and he hung up with a snap.

The two of them were like puppets, looking at each other, and both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

You know, the three major awards are the highest awards for Japanese literature!

So far, no one has won a Grand Slam, and they have won three grand prizes without receiving the award in person, and when there is such a situation, the whole of Japan will explode!

No one can cover it up, not a consortium, not even the shogunate!

Such a risk, the other party will not be unaware, but still do it, which can only show that there is no fear!

The four words of perseverance and fearlessness are simple to say, and they can really be done in society, but the energy behind them is really terrifying.

"I'm really sorry!" Kenichi Taniguchi dried his wine, his face was full of frustration and shame, and he directly bent down and bowed: "Mitsuki, I can't continue." ”

Hearing Kenichi Taniguchi say this, Mitsuki Fukamatsu also understood, reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled: "Kenichi, it's okay, I understand it." ”

Taniguchi Kenichi was even more ashamed, and said in a snort: "Mitsuki, I know that you have always had a strong personality, but this investigation is too dangerous. ”

"My wife is pregnant, I can't lose my job, and I can't have an accident. ”

"If something happens to me, my home will be finished, please forgive me, I'm sorry!" Kenichi Taniguchi bowed again, bowed his head and collected his materials, which could not be kept, and all of them had to be burned.

Then he bowed deeply, went to pay the bill, and left without looking back.

Mitsuki Mitsuki Mitsumi looked at the back and shook his head, glanced at the door, smoked deeply, waited for a cigarette to finish, poured his own wine, and drank the full wine, because he drank it too quickly, even Mitsuki Mitsuki, who had a good amount of alcohol, coughed.

When the cough was over, he turned hideous and said in a resolute voice: "I won't lose, even if this is the case, I will investigate!"

Now it is not only a matter of gambling debts, but the point is that it is impossible to completely go unheard of by violating the orders of ministers and higher superiors to investigate privately and mobilize a lot of resources and connections.

Now Mitsuki Mitsumatsu has been riding a tiger.

I'm not Kenichi Taniguchi, I have a strong friend, and I can stop at this time.

A hidden room

Takashi Ohno received a call: "Is it?

The voice on the other side of the phone, a little worried, said, "Yes, it's done, but it's too easy to explode!"

"If Shinichi Yamada can't bear it, he will be crushed!" The person opposite is an important figure on the side of Takashi Ohnozawa, who has a high status in the Japanese government, and is mainly responsible for education and literature.

Obviously, this person didn't know that Shinichi Yamada was an enemy, and because Takashi Ohnozawa had put a lot of effort into promoting this, he thought that this author was his own.

"To be honest, I read the book, the quality of the book is very high, and I am eligible for the three major awards. The person on the other side continued to sincerely suggest: "Then there is no risk!"

"If you work so hard now, you basically can't hold it down, and it will explode. ”

Hearing this, Takashi Ohno interrupted coldly and said, "Thank you very much for your support, but you don't have to worry about this!"

Unlike Kenichi Taniguchi and Mitsuki Nakamatsu who found out here and scared themselves, Takashi Onozawa didn't care whether Pei Ziyun could bear the backlash of the three major rewards, and he had no plans to deal with the aftermath at all.

"Hey, aren't you thinking about the three major prizes?"

"I'll give it to you, but it's none of my business if you blow it up. Hanging up the phone, Takashi Ohno was in a happy mood and walked around the room, and the depression of being forced to helplessly support Yamada Shinichi dissipated a lot, and he was still thinking in his heart: "When the time comes, maybe we can blow up Yamada Shinichi in turn." ”

"But maybe you don't need that. Thinking of this, Takashi Ohozawa called Kazuo Sergei: "Seryu, the inheritance ceremony must be completed quickly. ”

"Shinichi Yamada must not be allowed to have a chance to resign. ”
