Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Boom boom boom.As soon as Qing Jiang's eyes fell on the graduate student's report, there were three knocks on the door.He said "Come in," and Tetsuko Ossie pushed the door open, holding a large envelope in his hand. "Are you busy?" "Ah, not that busy. Looking at this." He pointed to the report. "Oh, it's his..." Tetsuko Ossie's eyebrows twitched, "How did you write it?" "I'm a little surprised. I feel like I've seen it somewhere. Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that I copied the content I published in a professional magazine not long ago. Didn't you notice it too?"

"Of course. However, I think it's better for Teacher Qingjiang to find out directly." Qing Jiang sighed deeply. "Why do you do this? If you show the plagiarized paper to the original author, aren't you afraid of being exposed?" "I'm afraid he didn't know that the original author was you, teacher. In the beginning, someone plagiarized Teacher Qingjiang's thesis and published it as his own. But this time, our own graduate student copied the plagiarized paper again. down." "Huh?" Qing Jiang couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear for a long time, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on, "...so that's what happened. Copy plagiarized papers."

"Should the teacher warn him?" "Forget it." Qing Jiang waved his hand, "It's a waste of time. Just tell him 'I've revealed my secrets'." "OK." Qing Jiang threw the report into the wastebasket. "So, what's the matter with you?" "I'm here to pick up the courier for you." "Express delivery? Where did it come from?" Tetsuko Ossie handed over the large envelope. "Hokuriku Daily News." Oh, Qing Jiang nodded and took the envelope.He was right, the sender was Ms. Uchikawa from the Hokuriku Mainichi Shimbun.Qing Jiang tore open the envelope on the spot.

"Probably send the issue of the newspaper that published the story. Pretty respectable." "You have all gone to assist in the investigation, it is only natural." "makes sense." Qing Jiang took out the contents of the envelope, and it turned out to be a newspaper.There is also a handwritten note attached: "Thanks to you, this report has been completed, and I enclose it in the same letter. Thank you very much, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future." Two copies of the newspaper arrived.Qing Jiang put one of them in front of Osie Tetsuko: "If you have time, you can read it too."

"Okay," she said, picking up the newspaper. There was a yellow sticky note on a certain page of the newspaper. When I opened it, I found a re-introduction of the Tomate Onsen accident in the "In-depth Report" column.After explaining the general situation of the accident, Qing Jiang's speech was published as an expert opinion. "In the hot spring area, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide may be produced in the soil anywhere. The accident site this time is located in the upper part of the tourist trail, and there may be such a place. I think it is due to some kind of gas trapped under the snow. The cause is sudden eruption. Hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air. In a windless state, especially in winter when the ground temperature is low, hydrogen sulfide will gradually move downward due to no updraft, and finally accumulate in low places and depressions. The accident site had the above-mentioned multiple unfavorable conditions. Although hydrogen sulfide has the smell of rotten eggs, it is not irritating. People will gradually get used to it during the inhalation process.

Qing Jiang closed the newspaper and asked his assistant, "What do you think?" "No problem, I think it is a very appropriate opinion." "What. Although there is nothing wrong with saying that it is appropriate, the most important thing is that these words are stable and indifferent. I went to the scene, but I can only make this level of comments. I am not qualified as an expert." "You don't have to be so harsh on yourself, it's just a report." "No, I feel ashamed. To be honest, there are many incomprehensible aspects of this accident, and I still don't know why."

"Really?" Osie Tetsuko frowned slightly, "Something that is difficult to understand, such as?" "The smell of hydrogen sulfide—it was also said in the report that it is a smell similar to rotten eggs, but this time, I have never smelled it near the scene. It is right to think about it. What about a stable place? According to the locals, there are lush vegetation around the tour trail, and there are few dead animals. If there is a place where hydrogen sulfide is emitted, the growth of plants will definitely be affected, and animals will definitely die .Don't you think it's strange?"

Tetsuko Ossie adjusted his glasses. "It's really strange to say that. However, the natural environment will also change drastically. Maybe it is affected by the nearby volcanic activity." "I've thought about that too. But I still don't think it was a simple accident." Tetsuko Oshi was very surprised: "It's not an accident, what could it be?" "I've said it all, then—" Qing Jiang swallowed the words "man-made", before he could say it, "It wasn't a simple accident, maybe it was an accident that included more complicated factors... ..."

"Perhaps. However, teacher, you have already played a role in this matter anyway, why don't you return to your daily work? The Secretariat is urging, asking if the original manuscript of the research society you are the chairman of will be ready soon?" Finished writing." A sharp gaze flashed behind the lens. "Oh, that. I see, I'll write it right away." "The deadline is tomorrow, so I'll leave it to you." Ossie Tetsuko said, walked to the table, picked up the report that Qing Jiang had just thrown into the wastebasket, "I'll go first." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait." Qingjiang stopped her, "Do you know an actor named Nasuno Goro?" Tetsuko Ossie supported his glasses: "Nasuno?" "Goro. Nasuno Goro. The one who died in Tomate Onsen. I heard he was an actor." She shook her head. "I don't know. Never heard of it." "Oh. That's right. Well, it's all right." "Did you ask him what he wanted?" "Ah, nothing. Just wanted to ask if you know. Go back to work." She said "Excuse me" with a puzzled look, and walked out. Seeing the door close, Qing Jiang exhaled heavily, crossed Erlang's legs, and leaned back on the chair.He didn't want to write the original manuscript that Tetsuko Ossi had just urged, and a bunch of things were turning around in his mind.

Akakuma Onsen and Tomate Onsen, can the accidents that happened in these two hot springs be treated as simple accidents?Although both incidents have expert opinions, could they have made a huge mistake?Such uneasiness lingered in his heart. There are several reasons.What I mentioned to Tetsuko just now is one of them.But the biggest reason is the existence of Madoka Habara.Qing Jiang felt that her appearance changed everything. Who is she?Who is the young man she is looking for?Why did she go to the place where the poisoning accident happened to find him?What is the relationship between these two people and the poisoning accident?If so, then it seems that this is not a simple accident. What the two poisoning incidents have in common is that both victims were from the film industry.Akakuma Onsen is the filmmaker, and Tomate Onsen is the actor.At first he thought it was just a coincidence, but the appearance of Madoka Habara made it difficult for him to ignore it. Qing Jiang turned on the laptop on the table and connected to the Internet.First searched for "Nasuno Goro".The search results came out immediately, just like the last time I searched with my mobile phone, there was no important information.A few years ago, he also played small roles in two-hour episodes and made occasional TV appearances, but it's unclear what happened after that.He also acted in movies, that was almost ten years ago.The name of the movie is "The Bell of Ruins", and Qing Jiang didn't even know there was such a movie. Qing Jiang suddenly remembered something, so he searched for that movie.Maybe it has something to do with the filmmaker who died in the Akakuma Onsen accident. That person seems to be called Yoshiro Mizushiro—— Information related to the movie immediately appeared in front of me.But let alone the cast list, this name is not even in the staff list.He looked at the synopsis again.It tells the story of a girl who has lost her memory since she was a child and visits the small town where she grew up.There are also some unfathomable exaggerated sentences, asking about human dignity and the like.Qing Jiang couldn't arouse any interest in watching it. He went on to search for "Shuicheng Yoshiro".The information jumped out one after another, and was included in the free encyclopedia.The explanatory text in the encyclopedia is very concise, and Qing Jiang took a few glances. Unlike Nasuno Goro, this one's experience is more gorgeous.Yoshiro Mizushiro has not only made movies and TV series, but also participated in the production of stage plays, live shows, and even special programs.The actors and artists who have worked with him are also famous.However, his active period was almost ten years ago, and in this regard, he is the same as Nasuno Goro. It's useless to check these things——Qingjiang thought so, just as he was about to close the window, his hands stopped.In a movie related to Yoshiro Mizushiro, he saw "Frozen Lips". Qing Jiang has seen this movie.That was nearly twenty years ago.It won gold awards at foreign film festivals and became a hit.The movie tells the story of a rich kid who meets a beautiful prostitute, pretends to be a top student, but gradually becomes addicted to sex and drugs.Although the story is rather extreme, it is very appealing and the picture is beautiful. Even a layman like Qing Jiang thinks this is a great film. He looked up the movie in the encyclopedia, and the name of Yoshiro Mizushiro was indeed written in the column of the producer. That guy also made the movie— Qingjiang suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.Maybe Nasuno Goro also played a small role in it?However, the name is not on the list. His eyes accidentally glanced at the staff list, and the director and script were a man named Saisao Amakasu.Qing Jiang had heard of this name before.Since even Qing Jiang, who knows very little about movies, knows, it can be seen that he is a very famous director. When looking at this name, Qing Jiang suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere.And, not so long ago. After thinking about it, he returned to the page of "The Bell of Ruin".Sure enough, the director of this movie is also Saisao Amakasu. Qing Jiang clasped his hands behind his head and stared at the computer screen. What's going on here?Is it just pure coincidence?Although there is no intersection between Nasuno Goro and Mizushiro Yoshiro, if the person Amakasu Saisao is used as a medium, the two will have a connection. Next, he searched for the man.Still entering the name in the encyclopedia, and hitting the Enter key.It didn't take long for reports related to Saisheng Amakasu to pop up.His resume is as luxurious as Yoshiro Mizushiro. At the age of 30, he made his debut as a director of V movies. One year later, he began to produce feature-length movies, which won high praise in the foreign film industry.Since then, he has made many hit films and topical films, and "Frozen Lips" filmed at the age of 36 has won numerous awards.His films are both entertaining and literary, and he was once expected to be the person who shoulders the future of the Japanese film industry. Qing Jiang was thinking while reading. "Once" used the past tense, meaning, did he live up to this expectation?He looked at the list of works. In the past ten years, Amakasu Saisao had hardly made any films, and the last one was "The Bell of Ruin". As he read on, he was taken aback. "At the age of forty-seven, Saio Amakasu lost his family in a hydrogen sulfide poisoning accident at home. The shock of the accident made him no longer think about film creation (quoted from blog)."
