Chapter 120: Discussion
Kenji Kitagawa took his mobile phone and ran quickly towards Toshiryo Muramatsu's office, pushed the door open rather roughly, and broke in.
"Kenji? What's wrong, so reckless? Muramatsu Junliang looked at Kenji Kitagawa who almost pushed away his office with a bang, and looked at him with a frown, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "You are also the president of North River now, so you have to be calm!" β
"Yes, I see, Muramatsu-san!" Kitagawa Kenji also knew that it was rude for him to break into Muramatsu Toshiliang's office like this, but he did have something very important to say, so after apologizing to Muramatsu Toshiliang, Kitagawa Kenji hurriedly said: "But something is wrong, Muramatsu-san!" β
"Big deal? What's the big deal? Could it be related to the Hashimoto incident? "Weekly Wenchun" got the decisive evidence? Hearing Kitagawa Kenji say this, Muramatsu Junliang's face also changed, and he asked with a serious expression.
"It's related to "Weekly Bunchun", but I don't know if it has anything to do with Hashimoto's incident." After Kitagawa Kenji took a deep breath, he said to Toshiryo Muramatsu with a serious expression: "There was a supernatural incident in the editorial office of "Weekly Bunharu" last night, and two editors went to the hospital because of this, and there was also a fire in the printing house responsible for printing "Weekly Bunharu". β
Hearing Kenji Kitagawa's words, Toshiryo Muramatsu also had a shocked expression on his face, and understood why Kenji Kitagawa would break into his office so rudely. When the report related to Nanami Hashimoto was about to be published, a supernatural incident occurred in "Weekly Bunharu" and a fire broke out in the printing house, and these three occurred at the same time, which made Muramatsu Toshiryo have a bad association.
"Kenji, what do you think this matter is...... Does it have anything to do with Hashimoto? Muramatsu Toshiryo looked at Kitagawa Kenji with a somewhat ugly face, and saw that Kitagawa Kenji also had a somewhat solemn look on his face, and understood that he and himself thought of the same thing.
Kitagawa Kenji shook his head, although his face was still solemn, he still defended Nana Hashimoto and said: "I don't think Hashimoto is such a person, this kind of thing can't be done by her." If so, this girl is terrible! But my concern is that she told someone else about it, and someone was doing it for her. β
Hearing Kitagawa Kenji say this, Muramatsu Junliang's eyes froze, and he asked, "Someone else stands up for her?" Kenji: Do you have any other thoughts on that? β
Kitagawa Kenji nodded and said seriously: "We suspect that this matter is related to Hashimoto, and it is also because she understands yin and yang, and what happened in the editorial department of "Weekly Wenchun" is a supernatural event, so we will have associations. But Hashimoto hasn't even studied yin-yang for half a year, and she may have the ability to pretend to be a ghost and create supernatural events, but creating a fire in a printing house, I don't think it's something she can do. β
Muramatsu Junliang listened to Kitagawa Kenji's analysis, and couldn't help but nodded: "Kenji, what you said also makes sense, but we can't rule out that Hashimoto has the ability to do this, don't forget, the legend says that the Onmyoji can serve the gods!" β
"You're right, but there's one person who is more capable of doing that than Hashimoto." Kitagawa Kenji nodded, and after agreeing with Muramatsu ToshiryΕ's words, he continued his analysis: "Although Hashimoto knows yin-yangjutsu, compared to Chiba-san, who taught her yin-yojitsu, she is only an apprentice. And judging from my usual contact with Hashimoto, she is not so likely to take revenge on "Weekly Wenchun", and she has done such an excessive child. So I suspect that Hashimoto told Chiba-san about it, and Chiba-san was angry for her. β
"Chiba-san...... This is really hard news! When Muramatsu Toshiryo heard this name, his tone also became melancholy: "Kenji, is your judgment grounded?" You know, Chiba-san is not a character who can be easily offended! Your father must have told you something about him, right? β
"My father didn't tell me much, just that Chiba-san's identity wasn't just as simple as an onmyoji. But the incident that happened in Kyoto before is enough to show that Chiba-san's identity is not simple. Kenji Kitagawa said to Toshiyo Muramatsu with a look of fear on his face.
Muramatsu Toshiryo listened to Kitagawa Kenji's words and shook his head: "If it's just the Kyoto incident, Chiba-san is just a powerful onmyoji. But in fact, even the royal family has a deep relationship with Chiba-san. Speaking of this, after Muramatsu Toshiryo let out a sigh of relief, he shook his head and said to Kitagawa Kenji on the side: "But these things have nothing to do with us, we just need to deal with these things in our hands." As for what happened to "Weekly Bunharu", as long as it wasn't done by Hashimoto herself or she instigated Chiba-san to do it, then it has nothing to do with our operation. β
"I see, Muramatsu-san." Kitagawa Kenji nodded, thought for a while and said, "What should we do about the scandal about Hashimoto?" β
"Deal with it as you do." After thinking about it, Muramatsu Toshiryo instructed Kitagawa Kenji: "Everything is done according to what we discussed before, that report is obviously fabricated, and Hashimoto's attitude also shows that she really didn't do this, since we choose to believe her, then there is no need to suspect her because of the accident with "Weekly Bunchun", maybe it's just that Chiba-san is angry for his disciple, or maybe "Weekly Bunchun" offended others, in short, this has nothing to do with our Sony Music and Nogizaka 46, understand?" β
"I see, Muramatsu-san, I know what to do!" Kenji Kitagawa nodded.

"What the hell is going on!" Kiyoto Matsui, the president of the Literary Spring and Autumn Festival of the "Weekly Wenchun" agency, was furious at the president and editor-in-chief of the "Weekly Wenchun": "The editorial office is haunted, the printing house is on fire, and the editor has a car accident. Did you know that the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the President of the Magazine Publishing Association have called me and asked me to tell you to restrain yourself and not offend those you can't afford to mess with! β
"President Matsui! This...... We don't know, "Weekly Wenchun" has indeed been known for reporting all kinds of scandals and scandals, but we haven't reported on any influential big names recently! The president of "Weekly Bunharu" explained to Matsui Kiyoto with a nervous face.
"Don't know? Didn't know that the editor of your newspaper would be in a car accident? Will the printing house catch fire? Did the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology call me if he has nothing to do? After listening to the explanation of the president of "Weekly Bunharu", Matsui Kiyoto became even more angry and scolded him: "Won't you go and investigate? Whose scandal did the editor report on? Do you want me to teach this kind of thing? β
"Well, President Matsui, the editor who had the accident is ......" The editor-in-chief on the side hesitated and explained to Kiyoto Matsui.
Kiyoto Matsui looked at the editor-in-chief with a cowering face, restrained his anger, and said coldly: "Just say what you know, don't swallow it!" β
"Yes, President Matsui!" The editor-in-chief was told by Matsui Kiyoto, so he said: "The editor who had the accident was called Kameda, and he happened to get a very interesting news article and was rewarded, so he planned to celebrate with his colleagues, but it was a car accident on the way to izakaya, but the police judged that the car accident was an accident." β
"Whether it's an accident or not, let's talk about who is involved in that news?" Kiyoto Matsui did not ignore this clue and asked the editor-in-chief.
Seeing Matsui Kiyoto asking, the editor-in-chief hurriedly said: "That news is a photo that Kameda took from a reporter, and it was a photo of Nanami Hashimoto and a man kissing at the Sumida River fireworks festival by Sony Music's idol group Nogizaka 46, I think this is similar to the scandal we reported earlier about the scandal of AKB48's Rino Shihara, so I didn't think much about it and planned to publish it, shouldn't it be because of this reason?" β
"Have you checked who that man is?" Kiyoto Matsui frowned and found something suspicious.
"Because the photo was so blurry, we couldn't tell who the man was." The editor-in-chief explained to Kiyoto Matsui, "And according to the reporter who took the photo, after they kissed, they bought two masks to put on their faces, so he didn't see exactly who the man was." β
Matsui Kiyoto's face changed and he was about to get angry again, but he forcibly held back and asked the editor-in-chief, "Then this Nanami Hashimoto, have you investigated it carefully?" Have you found out her background? β
The editor-in-chief looked at the president of "Weekly Bunharu" on the side, saw him nodding, and continued to say to Matsui Kiyoto: "We have already investigated, Nana Hashimoto was not born in Hokkaido, and is one of the members of the girl idol group Nogizaka 46 launched by Sony Music and Yasuya Akimoto, and has no special background. If I have to say it, it is that she understands yin and yang, which may have something to do with the haunting of the editorial department. β
It seems that she knows a relationship with an onmyoji who has appeared on their Nogizaka 46 variety show several times, and recently worked with Nanami Hashimoto and several other members of Nogizaka 46 on a variety show about solving supernatural events, which was broadcast on TV Tokyo. Nana Hashimoto is not supposed to be a yin-yang technique that he learned from this onmyoji. The editor-in-chief explained in detail.
"Oh, and what's the name of this Onmyoji?" Matsui Kiyoto's brows were almost furrowed, and the editor-in-chief's explanation made him very suspicious that the supernatural incident in the editorial department of "Weekly Wenchun" was related to the Onmyoji.
"Chiba Chiya, it is said that he is a real onmyoji."
