Chapter 603 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, and once joined forces to fight against the Kyoto District Prosecutor's Office in the Morimoto corruption case. Later, when confronting Eto in Nijo Castle, Eto shot him in the abdomen 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 his 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 Beihara, the young male lawyer.

I have worked with Kitahara before.

Then he saw that Kitahara alone could bring down Kyoto University and find out Eto's whereabouts.

Yuuki no longer dares to underestimate Beihara.

After being stunned for a while, Yuki showed his somewhat charming and iconic smile again. Although her lips were bloodless at the moment, they seemed to be covered in lipstick.

"I didn't expect it to be you." Yuuki said.

"Why. Who do you want to enter the ward?"

"Lawyer Beihara, with all due respect, you are like a disaster. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have received this shot."

"I think I'm a lucky star, otherwise how could Investigator Yuuki get better so quickly."

"you……"

"..."

"How is your health? It seems that you are recovering well."

"In two weeks, you 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 - those that 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 respond directly to the accounting investigator. Of course it would be good to have an extra helper. But the question is, how deep is the Accounting Investigation Institute’s water? Will there be any informants from other forces? These are all practical issues that must be considered.

"Lawyer Kitahara. When a woman actively expresses 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?" Yuuki suddenly smiled evilly, and then put his hand on his injured abdomen, "I'm talking about Lawyer Kitahara. If I can't give birth to a baby in the future, will you be responsible for me?"

"Click, click, click." The sound of Beihara'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 Yuki, Kitahara and Miyagawa drove to Kyoto University. Kitahara and the others had already packed their luggage and planned to go back to Tokyo directly. However, Miyagawa suddenly remembered that there were still some things left with Hirose. Hirose is the monk of Shimokawa teacher 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 happens to be the time when the university starts. 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, looking at the Kyoto University campus, Kitahara couldn't help but recall the previous case.

Yuki just told him in the hospital that the latest news from the Accounting Inspection Institute——

Okawara has absconded. It is said that he used a fake passport and luckily passed the customs inspection on the day of the incident and boarded a flight to Ross. There is no extradition agreement between Russia and the East and West. It will be safe there.

The final outcome of the matter is ironic. The people who concocted the industrial and research enterprises and caused a large loss of public funds and were embezzled finally escaped to other countries unharmed. It would probably be even more difficult to pursue Okawara again and punish him.

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 dressed in black suits sat neatly on the seats in the gymnasium. This is a unique sight at the entrance ceremony in Japan. In most countries, you will not see such a scene at the entrance ceremony. When thousands of students dress like this, it's a bit visually shocking.

"Classmates. 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 ouster, and the antagonism between students and the university on campus have not dissipated. For freshmen, 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 Tokyo University of Technology 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 spoke some official words. The content is probably nothing more than saying that my first choice has always been Kyoto University, and I am very honored to have finally been admitted. I will definitely study hard and live up to my years.

Of course, the freshman representative spoke very seriously. He sincerely believed that it was an honor to be selected as the freshman representative. This year’s freshmen representatives happen to be from engineering majors. At the end of his speech, his immature youth experience still made him believe in the beauty of the world.

He concluded by saying, "I hope to be a person who is helpful to Toyo's engineering in the future and to contribute a small contribution to our Toyo's engineering."

The freshman representative finally concluded like this.

Perhaps this is ironic.

The Okawara scandal was 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.

Beihara stepped on the accelerator slightly, and the vehicle drove forward.

There was silence in the car, and neither Beihara nor Miyagawa spoke. I don’t know if I have experienced too many people and things in Kyoto. At this time, although I am speechless, my speechlessness is 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 receding.

The 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 is also Okawara, who promotes the industrial research strategy, boasts, and does not hesitate to blame others; Takeuchi, the vice president 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"——

Ivory tower.
