Bridgewood Apartments
This apartment has 5 floors, with a total of 49 households. There is a small park nearby and the transportation is convenient. However, it was built 40 years ago, and each apartment is only 20-30 square meters. The price is relatively cheap, and it is suitable for some young people (low income). Regular family, as well as single occupancy.
The early summer sunshine dappled through the leaves, and a gust of wind blew past, blowing away some of the heat in the air.
Deliveryman Sagawa Takaaki, who was wearing a blue work uniform, was very upset: "It's really bad luck. Did you go to the shrine during the holidays to improve your luck?"
"Asshole, even if you are going to die, you can still choose to take medicine. Why bother everyone?" Sagawa Takaaki muttered. His income is good, 500,000 yen per month, while the reporter's is 650,000 yen. Nihon University Professor The monthly salary is only 950,000 yen. There is actually some reason why Japan claims to be the country with the most even distribution of wealth in the world, of course, capitalists are not included.
An important interpersonal rule in Japanese society is not to cause trouble to others.
But an hour and a half ago, at Kicho Station, which was the only way to pass, a man saw the car coming and suddenly jumped up. A black briefcase stood quietly on the ground, seemingly waiting for its owner to pick it up again. However, the owner died on the spot. This incident affected the schedule of 30,000 people, and Takaaki Sagawa was one of them.
There are many ways to commit suicide. If you must die, jumping off a building may have some effects. Others, taking poison, burning charcoal, cutting your wrists, etc. are all done by yourself. Jumping off the rails is undoubtedly to cause trouble to others, and it is a big trouble - this may be It can be regarded as the last resistance and cry in life, but the person involved, Takaaki Sagawa, could not understand: "This has delayed 30,000 people for one hour."
"It's not just me!"
Sagawa Takaaki touched the sweat on his forehead, took the package and went up the stairs. For the new-style apartment, he could just put it in the cabinet at the access control. For this apartment, he had to knock on the door.
Sagawa Takaaki looked at the information on the package and looked at the house number to see if it was the room he was looking for.
During this time, Takaaki Sagawa was very busy at work. He had been working as a delivery boy for five years, but this was the first time he felt tired. In the past, because it was the peak season, although he was also very busy, he was not so tired.
Not only is he no longer young, in fact, Sagawa Takaaki, who is only 30 years old, is still young. The more reason is that due to the sudden increase in workload recently, Sagawa Takaaki and his colleague Naoto Sakitani discussed this issue privately a few days ago and found that this paragraph The reason for the huge increase in time workload is that the proportion of books in the goods has increased significantly. Especially recently, there have been many books in the Seven Samurai series by Yamada Shinichi.
"I didn't expect Yamada Shinichi to be so successful!" Sagawa Takaaki couldn't help but sigh, clenched his fists, and encouraged himself: "You can do it! As long as you work hard, you can succeed!"
When Sagawa Takaaki looked at the house number again, he found that it was Room 703: "Yes, that's the address!"
Then he went to the door and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang, and Ohnozawa Takashi opened the door in casual clothes. He had a shaved head and a gentle face. He looked very ordinary. He took the package with one hand and signed it like an ordinary person. At the same time, he said slightly apologetically: "It's so hot on such a hot day. Thank you so much for letting you come!"
Sagawa Takaaki smiled and bowed: "Ah, it's nothing. This is my job. You are so complimentary."
However, these words also brought the distance closer. Sagawa Takaaki glanced at the package in Ohnozawa Takashi's hand and said casually: "Ah, do you also read Mr. Yamada's book?"
"Mr. Yamada's books are really popular these days!"
"Yes, I am also a writer." Upon hearing this, Ohnozawa Takashi shook his head slightly and said with a bitter look on his face: "It's just that I'm still working hard..."
Act like thousands of ordinary struggling authors.
"That's it, come on!" Sagawa Takami felt some sympathy, and said to Ohnozawa Takashi, turned around and left. He did not have any suspicion. In this kind of apartment, naturally there are people who are under pressure to survive, and they are down and out. The author is one of them.
When they arrived at the house, Ohnozawa Takashi, who was smiling at first, opened the package with no expression on his face. Inside were two books. When he opened them, they read "Seven Samurai: Wind and Thunder" and "Seven Samurai: Fire and Light".
Ohnozawa Takashi looked at the two exquisitely packaged books, stroked the covers with his hand, and said slowly to himself: "Humph, do you want to use books to quell doubts?"
"Yamada Shinichi, I actually recognize your strength, but the public's aesthetics is weak. As long as you slander it, even a masterpiece will lead to suspicion!"
"What's more, you have published so many books in such a short period of time!"
Thinking of this, Ohnozawa Takashi smiled and turned on the lights to make the room brighter. The living house was not big, it could even be said to be small. The whole house was only 20 square meters. In addition to basic daily necessities, it was just a bookcase and a few books. Secondary map and phone number.
The small space is where Ohnozawa Takashi has lived for many years.
Ohnozawa Takashi walked forward, stood in front of the window, opened the window, and let the wind blow in. He looked into the distance, stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, and murmured: "Although the empire concentrates its strength, Let me be resurrected here, but now I can only live in this small house!"
"It's just that these days are coming to an end! As long as there is an earthquake, the Age of Gods will come, and I can live in the daylight!"
After venting his feelings, Ohnozawa Takashi sat down and read the book, but after only five minutes of reading, he suddenly stood up and said, "What, a samurai from Oda Nobunaga's family?"
"Although this Himura family is completely fictitious, the history and experiences in it, as well as the personnel of the Oda family, are all real. How could anyone here know this?"
Ohnozawa Takashi felt unbelievable. He turned the book quickly, scanned the pages quickly, and then smashed the book down hard. With a "bang", the book also deformed, and he said loudly: " Bagaya Road!”
After taking a breath, Ohnozawa Takashi opened the second book again. This time, although he was mentally prepared and did not throw the book to the ground again, he was shocked and held the book tightly in his hands. This book introduced Feng. Hideyoshi.
The two samurai in these two books are both middle and lower-level samurai. They have witnessed their glory. History has not changed, and some differences are normal.
After flipping through the second book, Ohnozawa Takashi looked ferocious, his eyes were blood red, and he shouted: "Impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
"Why does Yamada Shinichi know our history?"
Ohnozawa Takashi shouted and tore the second book into two halves. He stood up and kept pacing in the small room, turning around crazily and murmuring: "How could anyone really do this?" Do you know our origins? Is this Yamada Shinichi also one of ours?"
"No, no, everyone who arrives has mutual induction, not Yamada Shinichi!"
After a while, Ohnozawa Takashi gradually calmed down, picked up the damaged book on the ground again, and looked through it carefully.
After a long time, Ohnozawa Takashi, who was ashen-faced, called and said in a stiff tone: "Is there another volume of Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai"?"
"Hi, sir, yes!"
"There are seven volumes of "Seven Samurai", but only two volumes have been released now." On the other side of the phone, Masahiro Onomura whispered, wiping the sweat caused by nervousness on his forehead.
Onozawa Masahiro is Ohnozawa Takashi's contact person, but in his impression, Ohnozawa Takashi has always been kind and calm, but now for some unknown reason, he seems to be suppressing great anger and feeling a little nervous.
"What? There are seven volumes, and five volumes are still unpublished?"
"Why didn't you send me all the Seven Samurai books?"
"Send me the manuscript now, immediately!" Ohnozawa Takashi roared loudly.
Onomura Masahiro's hand holding the phone trembled a few times when he heard the roar, but he still responded quickly: "Hey, I understand, I will immediately use the people from Shiraishi Academy to send you the archived manuscript."
Ohnozawa Takashi hung up, and then called again: "Touuki, I have a task for you now!"
On the opposite side of the phone, Jin Duoshu, who was sitting in a house with his eyes closed, took the phone and said in a strange voice: "Hi, sir, please give me your instructions!"
The sound made by the Jinduoshou tree is very strange, and the words it speaks are like the sharp sound of two pieces of metal rubbing against each other.
But Ohnozawa Takashi did not feel the slightest discomfort and continued: "Now, no matter the cost, continue to create public opinion that discredits Yamada Shinichi!"
"At the same time, send people to demonstrate in front of the Yamada family!"
Hisuki Kaneta is a member of Ohnozawa Takashi's major generals, and he was previously responsible for actions related to the negative public opinion of Yamada Shinichi. The death of the writer and the demonstrations all have the shadow of Hisuki Kaneta behind them.
"Also, take the book "Seven Samurai" by Yamada Shinichi off the shelves. This book cannot continue to be circulated." Ohnozawa Takashi said coldly, his face ashen.
"Sir, this is probably impossible!"
"According to our investigation, the publication background of Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai" is very deep." Hisuki Kaneda said slowly: "Behind it is not only the support of the Jinkawa Shrine, but also the strong support of the Bando Foundation. support."
"There is inside information that Bando Consortium wants to pay a large sum of money to buy the copyright of Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai"."
"And, the most important thing is that it has also entered the sight of the shogunate!" Hisuki Kaneda solemnly said to Ohnozawa Takashi: "According to the information of our intelligence personnel, Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai" was published in It has received the attention of the shogunate before.”
"The shogunate once sent personnel to have detailed discussions with Yamada Shinichi and wanted to buy the copyright of Yamada Shinichi's book, but Yamada Shinichi refused."
"Even so, the shogunate has not given up and continues to pay attention to this."
"If we take action, the shogunate will immediately get clues. This is very passive."
After hearing this, Ohnozawa Takashi said coldly: "Impossible? Nothing is impossible. If the shogunate is paying attention, you have to work hard!"
"If necessary, go out personally and kill Yamada Shinichi."
"Hi, sir, I understand!" Jin Duoshou opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in the room. He put the phone aside, stood up slowly, and turned on the light. He saw a huge body in the room. , standing here.
