Chapter 27 chapter 2

I parked my M400 in front of a convenience store.After the case at hand is over, I have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with the owner of the convenience store. If it’s only two or three days, it may not matter if I borrow it casually, but if I want to continue to work in the "Cyan House S&R" "If we continue to do this, we still have to fix the place where the motorcycles are parked.While rubbing my sleepy eyes and thinking about it, I climbed up to the office on the second floor. The minister did not enter the office yesterday morning, and I don't know if he will come today.I opened the door while thinking, and saw him sitting on the sofa used for reception, staring blankly at the laptop screen.

"Morning Minister." "……Ok?" The minister just looked up at me. "Well, good morning." "What are you doing? You brought your computer." "There is a very interesting website, I am looking at it!" Although what I wanted to say in my heart was "What about work? Now is not the time to go online!" However, I just replied lightly: "Yes!" Who told me from the beginning that the minister was not very active in doing things.It's just that if he messes too far and causes the firm to fail to operate, my detective dream will be shattered.

"I'm just here to take a look, and I'm going out soon, because the other party wants me to go there early in the morning." The minister didn't ask me who I was looking for or what I was doing, but just responded casually: "Well, you go!" Both eyes are still fixed on the screen, whether he listened to what I said is still a question.Forget it, that's fine, I'm happy and relaxed. Shigeru Iwa and I made an appointment in the parking lot of a shopping center on the outskirts of the city, right in the middle of the national highway from Babao to Xiaofu.It was 9:30 in the morning, and it was still early before the store opened, so there was no one in the parking lot.There are only a few shop assistants cleaning around.If you think about it carefully, detectives receive some key evidence in this kind of parking lot where few people pass by.It's so exciting!Although I am not the beetle car guy from yesterday, I would have worn a pair of sunglasses if I knew it earlier.The only fly in the ointment is that the time is chosen on a sunny morning, and the refreshing feeling does not fit the situation; another fly in the ointment is that you can’t enter the parking lot before the store opens, so strictly speaking, the place where we meet is actually On the "shoulder next to the parking lot".Forget it, just turn a blind eye to this part!My range of acceptance has been widened in these three days

Iwamo appeared in a Corolla.As an ordinary teacher in a private high school, and a veteran, it is normal to drive a Toyota Corolla!There is something wrong with people who think they will see a black Mercedes!Yan Mao, who was wearing a black suit, got out of the car. I don't know if it was because of the belt or because of the thinning effect of the black. He didn't look as round as yesterday.However, since he will ask to meet early in the morning, it means that he may be in a hurry! "Wow, you're so early." He greeted me with a social smile. "I'm so sorry, I thought it would be more convenient for you and me to borrow directly from the library, but I didn't expect it to waste your time."

I also nodded slightly. "I didn't expect to be borrowed. I'm sorry, it's a bit difficult..." "Don't say that, I'm embarrassed! I made an appointment with you at such a weird time and place..." "Is there any activity?" Iwamo nodded, and said with a little pride: "There is a temple fair in Kobushicho today! You should know that too? It's a Bon dance exchange. I was also called to help! So I have to arrive at Hachiman Shrine before eleven o'clock." Of course I know this tradition, it turns out that it is today!Since Iwamo knows so much about the local history, it is only natural for him to be called to participate in the temple fair, eh.I have no choice but to answer:

"Then hurry up!" "It's okay..." Iwamo looked at his watch. "It's okay, there's still plenty of time!" "Did you bring that book?" "Of course, but because it's a book from a long time ago, it's a bit tattered." Iwamo returned to the car and took out the book from the passenger seat.Although it is a hard cover, the cover has no sense of design at all. Only the title "The Middle Ages and Xiaofu Called the Warring States Period" is written in gold-plated fonts.The parts other than the back of the book are a little yellowed and discolored, and it is impossible to tell whether it is due to the traces of the years or the influence of nicotine.

Iwamo handed me the book with a relieved expression on his face, as if he had accomplished a great event.I no longer pay attention to the time frequently, and my attitude finally returned to the calmness that a teacher should have. "Today I will lend you this book, so it can be considered that there is some kind of fate somewhere! You should know the origin of the exchange of Bon dances, right?" "...I don't know about that!" "Huh? Aren't you from Liusang Village?" An expression of joy at seeing Liexin appeared on Yan Mao's face.He loves to teach so much, and being a teacher is indeed the most suitable career for him.

"Forget it, not everyone in Liusang Village will know about this. This activity was originally proposed by Jiang Ma Changguang!" what? ! I really have no interest in knowing about this.That activity is simply synonymous with nightmares for me, and I know with my knees that it is impossible for me to have any good feelings for the person who initiated that activity.Even books, which I had taken so long to find, suddenly became a nuisance. Because the pained expression on my face might just be fleeting, Yan Mao didn't seem to notice it, or maybe he didn't pay attention to my face at all, and just said to himself with his mouth full of tears:

"That's right! That was twenty years ago, and Mr. Handa might not even have been born at that time! At that time, when the bubble economy started to take off, there was a saying in the local area that the tourism industry It will become the savior of the local industry. So Kobushi Town is also studying whether to develop something to attract tourists, and also gathered people from all walks of life to set up a committee. Because I was just a fledgling at that time, I was not qualified to participate, but Mr. Jiang Ma has joined this committee. Because he usually doesn’t like to attend such activities, we feel very surprised!”

... We are still very surprised! That's not what it said!Teacher Iwamo.The tradition that troubled me so much and played me around when I was a child is only twenty years old? I don't know what to say anymore.Because I really have no interest at all, so I didn't ask about the origin of this tradition, but in Liusang Village, everyone behaved like "this is a traditional ceremony that has existed since ancient times".So I thought it was a tradition that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and no matter how unwilling or reluctant, I had to reluctantly participate.

If this was only a short period of twenty years ago, and it was launched to attract tourists, then I can't think of other words to describe my mood at this moment other than "I was cheated".And if you dance, you dance, why do you have to switch between the two places?If I didn't have to go over a mountain from Liusang Village and run thousands of miles to the valley, I might feel less painful.Is this also Jiang Ma Changguang's masterpiece?Although it has been the past 800 years, and although it is not to the point of being unbearable, I always feel like an idiot. I think my face should be very ugly now!But Yan Mao didn't notice it at all, and continued: "Since we are going to do it, it would be better to make something that can represent Xiaofu's history, so at this time it is Mr. Jiang Ma's turn to do it. Because there are many students who don't Knowing the meaning of studying history, we should emphasize the concept that the significance of implementing history in daily life must not be underestimated! It is not just memorizing events, but witnessing history with the whole life. If we can objectively examine the dominance of the so-called tradition and have the thoughts of Dharma, I think the more students there are, the brighter the future of Babao will be, but in fact, it is not so easy.” It's useless for you to express my educational philosophy to me!I don't know if there is any value in high school Japanese history, and I don't want to know anything about exchanging Bon dance. I just want to quickly find a place where I can read quietly, finish the book written by this annoying author quickly, and quickly put an end to this first job that is not within the scope of the plan.This is my only wish right now. "So Mr. Jiang Ma proposed an exchange plan with Liusang Village. At first glance, I still don't quite understand what's going on!" "Ah, sorry to interrupt you." I forcefully cut off his words and deliberately stretched out my watch in front of him. "It's almost time for you to go?" "Huh? Really!" This time Iwamo's panic should be a real reaction!While scratching his head, he said, "I accidentally got too involved in the chat, then I'll go first!" while getting into his Corolla. I was left alone, standing on the edge of the parking lot, watching Corolla hurry away.Then, I looked at the book in my hand. ... Find a place to watch leisurely!The "D&G" introduced by the minister yesterday seems to be a good choice.
