I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 44: Beihai Pavilion


After confirming that the students had left, Daemon Goro checked the locks of the Kendo Hall and stopped by the sports warehouse to see if there were any unlucky ones locked inside.

After doing this, he went back to the staff locker room, changed out of the "formal suit" that was when he was a physical education teacher, Daemon Goro, that is, the sports suit, put on a suit, and left the school.

Social people drink a little wine after get off work, which is an important part of social interaction in Japanese society.

If you don't participate in this kind of drinking activities all the year round, you will be excluded from the company, and sometimes even your work will be greatly affected because you can't get the cooperation of colleagues.

Daimon Goro is naturally not exempt.

But today, instead of attending the school's teachers' reunion, he has an appointment with an old classmate who was on the phone with him in the afternoon.

The place of appointment is a mobile cart on the edge of the Edo River, called Hokkai-tei.

In this era, Tokyo did not have such strict urban management, and the basic management rights were basically in the hands of various self-government associations, town associations and poles.

These mobile vending carts are everywhere.

A skilled "general" pushed a cart full of ingredients and a small stove with an integrated gas bottle, stopped on the side of the road, and hung up a "warm curtain" indicating that it was open for business. A street vendor's business begins.

Although the thing that looks like a half door curtain hung by the vendor is called "warm curtain", it is just a customary name, it doesn't matter whether it is warm or not, hanging this thing means that the store is open.

Especially the "Hokuai-tei", which is usually parked by the Edo River, is actually quite windy at this location. At the end of April, when it is warm and cold, people who are not attentive may not be able to enjoy the Hokkai-tei. The general's craftsmanship.

Daemon Goro found Beihai Pavilion, which was a little bit off from where he stopped today, and opened the warm curtain.

The general looked up at him and said, "A rare guest, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's been half a year. Your position is too cold. It's a bit of a pain in the winter." Daemon Goro directly pulled a stool and sat down. "It's the same, please."

"Hey." The general responded, and while taking out the ingredients from the box containing the ingredients, he continued the topic just now, "Drinking in a snowy landscape, don't have a mood, today's young people have no roots. "

Damen Goro is in his thirties, but he is called a young man by the "general" of Beihai Pavilion. He has no temper. After all, when he was a young boy, the general wore the flower headband around his head. Do business.

Daimon Goro also asked why the general chose such a place to do business, even if there are not many people, the wind is still strong.

At that time, the general raised his head and looked at the Edo River flowing into Tokyo Bay, and said solemnly: "Water is the road to the land of yellow springs. Whenever the night is quiet, my students will come to my booth, Reminiscing about the old days with me, and carrying the red flowers I put on them when I took them on the train, just like scolding me. Rebuking me for not seeing through the lies of those **** with human faces and beasts, rebuking me for not hiding them! "

When Daemon Goro was a child, he didn't know what it meant. Now, he doesn't need to ask.

Running a little-known stall in the cold wind, watching the Edo River rushing to the sea, is probably the way the general who used to be a middle school teacher redeemed his sins.

However, after so many years, Beihaiting general's craftsmanship has been perfected, so he has accumulated a lot of regular customers like Damen Goro, and Beihaiting's business is actually good.

Smell the aroma of fried fish, Daemon Goro's saliva flowed down.

He stretched his head to look at the slowly ripening fish, and said: "I found a child who may become a dragon among people among the students."

"Yes, congratulations." The general responded calmly.

"But he encountered some troubles, some tests, I don't know if he can survive it." Daemon Goro took a sip of wine.

The old man said solemnly: "Dragon, you can't be trapped."

Daimon Goro sighed: "I hope so."

At this moment, Daemon Goro's old friend Zuoshan Inspection Minister opened the warm curtain - although this kind of mobile street vendor has no door at all, you can take a seat without lifting the curtain, but lifting the curtain is a polite gesture, indicating "I enter shop."

"It's very early to get off work, Inspection Minister Sang." The general greeted.

"Today is special." Zuo Shan glanced at the door, "Goro, here we come."

"Humph. Why are you suddenly interested in my students?"

"It's not that I'm interested." Zuo Shan gestured to the general, "It's the same as before."

"Hi." The general nodded.

"I'm transferred to the Organized Crime Countermeasures class, you know that?"

"Just found out."

"Your students, the Jinshan Pingtai who has been crushed, is the new peak of our department. We judge that they are likely to be promoted from the three-generation organization to the direct line within a few years."

"So fierce?" Daemon Goro asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it's just that fierce. Jinshan Pingtai has achieved brilliant results, and basically hit it all the way~IndoMTL.com~ From the younger brother, to Ruozhong, the younger brother's head, Ruotou... Every step is a step on the way. The blood of other poles goes up."

"It sounds like he has a lot of sins, why didn't he just arrest him?" Daemon Goro asked with a frown.

"Jidao is also very good now. Most of the time, they only beat people, not killing people. If they really kill people, we can't find any evidence of the crime at all, and we rarely find even the bodies."

Daimon Goro was speechless: "Go to Tokyo Bay to fish for cement pillars."

"This is the problem. If we want to salvage the cement column, we have to hire the boss of the ship and find the crew, right? And Jidao was originally developed by an organization such as the dock union."

"Where's the Self-Defense Force? Where's the Coast Guard?"

"The superiors are thinking about how to squeeze the forces of the Self-Defense Forces and Haibao out of Tokyo Bay every day. You asked us to help them? What a joke." Zuoshan shook his head, "This thing is complicated, although everyone knows that a certain People who do not deal with Ji Dao suddenly disappear, and they should go to Tokyo Bay to fish for cement pillars, but the police have the right to fish them, and they cannot find reliable and skilled people, and those who have the ability to fish have no right to enforce the law.

"This is the status quo, but there are other links that can be broken through, such as finding the first crime scene that has not been handled cleanly, but this kind of prosecutor's office will not necessarily prosecute, they only prosecute those crimes that can be convicted. After all, Japan is a country with a 100% conviction rate, number one in the world!"

Zuo Shan's final tone was very yin and yang.

"So we only pull those perpetrators with iron-clad evidence. The biggest iron-clad evidence is the prisoner's confession. How can someone who can be a team leader fail to push a few loyal brothers who are willing to take the blame?"

He took a sip of wine and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Now, tell me about your student."
