Chapter 1096 Xiaobao Haozi’s meritorious service duo
Imamura Kogoro squinted his eyes and looked at the documents falling from the desk.
There are four pieces of paper.
Two of them fell by the table, one by the bamboo basket, and one on the double sofa.
He frowned subconsciously and looked down at the ground.
The door shaft of the study door has just been oiled not long ago, so it shouldn't be difficult to push it open.
His eyes rested on a spot on the ground.
Imamura Kogoro's left hand is in front of him, which ensures that when he bends down to pick up something, the small pistol in his palm will not be seen.
This is a small section of pencil lead, with a little bit of pencil wood attached to one end of the lead.
It was probably this small piece of pencil lead that got stuck on the lower edge of the door.
"What did Li Hao shout just now?" Cheng Qianfan didn't give Imamura Kogoro time to continue thinking. He walked into the study casually, put the red wine gift box on the desk, then picked up his briefcase and asked casually road.
"Your men said that you have to go back and tell your son a bedtime story." Imamura Kogoro said.
"やばい!" Cheng Qianfan raised his wrist to look at the time and exclaimed. Then he waved his hand at Imamura Kogoro, "Uncle Kogoro, I'm going back first."
“Go, go.” Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro’s anxious look, Imamura Kogoro couldn’t help laughing.
“Goodbye, Uncle Kogoro.” Cheng Qianfan held the briefcase in his hand and left quickly, and soon heard footsteps on the wooden stairs.
‘It seems that Kentaro really likes tigers’, Imamura Kogoro said in his heart.
Miyazaki Kentaro’s son’s Chinese name is Cheng Bi. Ben means Tiger Ben.
Japanese name, named after "tiger", Miyazaki Nobutora, nicknamed tiger.
In order to give his son a good name, Kentaro Miyazaki visited Imamura Hyoutarou with gifts of preserved fruit and wine, and asked the teacher to name his son.
Imamura Kogoro didn’t know what method Kentaro used to win the counselor’s favor. Imamura Hyoutarou actually named Nobutora Miyazaki’s son.
This is not an ordinary name.
This name comes from the famous daimyo Takeda Nobutora during the Imperial Warring States Period.
Takeda Nobutora was the daimyo of Kai during the Warring States Period of the Empire. He was a doctor of Sakyo, Mutsu Mamoru, and a guardian of Kai. He was the father of Takeda Shingen, a famous military general during the Warring States Period of the Empire.
Takeda Nobutora (たけだのぶとら) is the son of Takeda Nobutora.
Born on the sixth day of the first lunar month in the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1494).
In the fourth year of Eisho (1507), after Takeda Nobutora died, thirteen-year-old Takeda Nobutora succeeded him as the eighteenth generation governor of the Kai Takeda family.
In the fifth year of Eisho (1508), the 14-year-old Takeda Nobutora put down the civil strife of his uncle Takeda Nobute, who was a hostile family member, resolved the civil strife that could not be resolved in the era of his father Takeda Nobutora, and unified Kai. He was hailed as "" "The Tiger of Kai".
In the seventh year of Yongsheng (1510), he attacked the Oyamada Nobutaka family in the county, recruited his son Nobuyou to surrender, and betrothed his sister to Nobuyou, thus pacifying the county.
Later, Takeda Nobutora commanded the whole country as the leader of Kai's leader Genji. This king showed the style of a strong general in the face of the crisis of the country's rebellion against the Takeda family's survival.
It can be said that Nobutora Takeda supported the Takeda family for thirty-five years even when he was isolated and in financial straits.
The family fortune he finally handed over to his son Takeda Harunobu was dozens of times better than when he inherited it and became the head of the family.
Objectively speaking, Takeda Nobutora cannot be compared with the top figures of the Imperial Warring States Period.
Strategically, Takeda Nobutora initially united with Uesugi, fought against Imagawa and Hojo, with the intention of encroaching on Kanto; then later married Imagawa, made peace with Hojo, and turned to attack Shinano, which was wise.
However, the time taken by Takeda Nobutora and the wasted national power for this transformation are staggering.
From the initial one-sided superstition of "Takeda cavalry is invincible" and his own tactical ability, he later realized his mistake when he hit the south wall. The Takeda family paid a high price for this:
The damage to people's livelihood in the territory has been very heavy.
This also led to Takeda Nobutora being exiled from his family for a time.
Imperial historians believe that Takeda Nobutora lacked tactical ability rather than strategic acumen.
It is simply impossible to use Kai's weak national power to support a staggeringly consuming foreign war, and to fight two major forces at the same time.
Takeda Nobutora only found the right way to expand after a **** blow: go north to Shinano, expand his power and then move towards higher goals.
This correct strategy was inherited by his legitimate son Harunobu. Later facts proved that the conquest of Shinano laid the cornerstone of the Takeda family's foreign war.
The common view within the empire is that although Takeda Nobutora was wrong, he was indeed the greatest contributor to the rise of the Takeda family.
The Imperial Warring States Daimyo Takeda clan came to glory in the hands of Takeda Harunobu, but all the foundations were laid in the hands of Takeda Nobutora.
Because of this, the name Nobuhu has a special meaning in the empire, which means that it was from this person that the family began to lay the foundation for its rapid development!
…
Imamura Kogoro even felt that he had a growing fondness for Miyazaki Kentaro, not only because Miyazaki Kentaro always respected him and treated him sincerely, but also because Imamura Hyoutarou named Miyazaki Kentaro's son Nobutora.
For Kogoro Imamura, who is obsessed with studying the history of the Imperial Warring States Period and admires the heroes of the Imperial Warring States Period, the name Nobutora also has a special complex.
With these thoughts in his mind, Imamura Kogoro placed the ‘Palm Thunder’ that had been hidden in the palm of his left hand on the desk.
He shook his head.
Perhaps I am too sensitive and even suspect...
In other words, it’s not that I’m doubting anything.
Imamura Kogoro threw the pencil refills in his hand into the bamboo basket. He knew that this was just his subconscious vigilance reaction.
Miyazaki Kentaro was a student whom the counselor trusted and who had been secretly observed and tested by him for a period of time.
In addition, as far as within the Iwai Mansion is concerned, Naito has been reporting and investigating Kentaro Miyazaki before, saying that there is a problem with Kentaro Miyazaki. Therefore, a secret investigation was conducted within the empire. The results of the investigation proved that Kentaro Miyazaki had no problem.
Hyotaro Imamura said in a casual conversation with him that such an investigation is not a bad thing for Kentaro Miyazaki. Being able to withstand the investigation of the Imperial Military Police Department is equivalent to an endorsement of Kentaro Miyazaki's loyalty.
Pick up the documents and papers scattered on the ground and put them on the desk.
Imamura Kogoro suddenly fell into deep thought.
He put these pieces of paper on the desk, then he walked out of the study and closed the door.
Open the door with the key again.
Pushing open the door, the papers on the desk were not blown off.
Imamura Kogoro shook his head. He understood what was different. He just pushed it lightly and the door opened. There was almost no wind, so the documents on the desk would not be blown off.
Imamura Kogoro has closed its doors again.
Then he pushed the door open violently.
He looked up at the desk.
The document paper was blown by the wind that came in when the door opened, and one page fell to the ground. Although several other pages were also blown, they did not fall.
Imamura Kogoro frowned.
Just now, when Miyazaki Kentaro helped push the door open, these pages fell down one after another.
Imamura Kogoro placed the document paper casually on the desk near the edge of the table.
Exit the study room again.
close the door.
The door opened suddenly.
The wind started blowing when I opened the door, and the few pages of paper were successfully blown away by the wind this time.
Imamura Kogoro stepped forward, picked up the paper on the ground, and put it back on the desk, thoughtfully:
Are these pieces of paper placed by the table?
he does not know.
However, based on his understanding of Imamura Hyoutarou, the counselor pays great attention to neatness and arranges items neatly. Even if something should be placed somewhere, the counselor will pay special attention to it.
So, the documents and papers were scattered around the table, which did not seem to be in line with the counselor's habits.
Of course, some unexpected situations cannot be ruled out, such as the counselor getting up from his seat and leaving the desk, and accidentally encountering these documents.
These are all possible.
Imamura Kogoro pulled out the seat and sat down.
Then he stood up and walked out from behind the desk.
He frowned slightly.
He did not rub against the papers on the desk.
But—Imamura Kogoro shook his head. He was on the thin side, and the counselor was fatter than him.
Putting this doubt that was not a doubt in his mind for the time being, Imamura Kogoro looked at the bamboo basket.
While he was doing the experiment, he suddenly thought of a question:
When I opened the door, the pen refill got stuck on the lower edge of the door.
So, if the pen refill had always been there, then when Kentaro Miyazaki and the counselor left, the door would have been stuck because of the pen refill, which means—
The study door cannot be closed!
Can’t close the study door?
Miyazaki Kentaro was waiting at the study door for him to get the key to open the door? !
Imamura Kogoro was already inclined to believe that he was having random thoughts out of professional sensitivity. Miyazaki Kentaro was a loyal person who had been investigated by the Imperial Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai and internally screened and certified by Iwai Mansion.
However, at this moment, a trace of doubt could not but arise in his heart.
He walked to the bamboo basket in two steps, bent down and rummaged through the bamboo basket, and found a small piece of pencil lead.
First open the door to the inside.
Then place the pencil lead on the ground.
Imamura Kogoro pretended to go out and left, and he opened the door.
Then, he was surprised to find that the lower edge of the door passed through the pencil lead smoothly and successfully closed the door.
Then he opened the door with the key.
Um?
The door is stuck again?
Imamura Kogoro pushed hard, but he didn’t push away the first time.
He exerted his strength again.
The door was pushed open, a gust of wind swept in, and the pages of documents on the desk were blown away.
Imamura Kogoro was stunned for a moment. He stared at the documents on the ground.
He remembered that he had just put the document paper on the desk casually, not specifically on the edge of the table.
So-
What does this mean?
These documents and papers are normally placed on the desk. Just now, Kentaro Miyazaki pushed the door hard. The reason why these papers were blown down was because Kentaro Miyazaki opened the door with a stronger force that time?
Imamura Kogoro became even more elusive.
He recalled carefully that it seemed that Kentaro Miyazaki had really used a lot of force when he helped him open the door.
Imamura Kogoro looked at the small piece of pencil lead on the ground again.
Then he looked surprised, looked at the lower edge of the door thoughtfully, and nodded.
I see.
Throwing the pencil lead into the bamboo basket, Imamura Kogoro shook his head. He felt that his nerves were too tense. He studied a few pages of paper and a small piece of pencil lead stuck in the door of the house for a long time.
However, Imamura Kogoro knew that if there was a next time, he would do this again.
He is the last barrier to protect the counselor's safety and keep the secrets of this study. This is the meaning of his existence. No matter how neurotic he is, even if he is a threat to everything, it cannot be overstated.
…
Li Hao drove quietly. Although he had many concerns and questions in his heart, Brother Fan didn't speak, so he didn't ask.
Cheng Qianfan opened his briefcase and took out a small pencil sharpener.
Xiao Bao left this pencil sharpener in the car. He thought it was funny and put it into his briefcase.
Cheng Qianfan took out the lighter, turned the wheel, and lit it.
He used the flame to bake the blade of his pencil sharpener.
Just now he used a pencil sharpener to trim the small piece of pencil lead. There would be pencil shavings left on the knife.
Hyoutaro Imamura used a specially made pencil, and the paint on the pencil was different from the paint used by ordinary students, so the evidence had to be destroyed.
“Xiaobao is really clever.” Cheng Qianfan’s mouth raised a gentle arc.
His movements on the broken pencil tip were also inspired by Xiaobao.
Xiaobao teased Lu Qiming in school by using a small end of a pencil:
My little girl was very skillful. She sharpened the tip of the pencil a few times. It looked like an ordinary pencil tip, but it had an 'ordinary' curvature and a small bulge. Then she just laid the pencil on the curved surface. On the ground, when the door was closed, the pencil rolled and the door closed smoothly.
Then when opening the door, the pencil is lying on its side and will get stuck in the door. In this way, Xiao Ming will be locked in the classroom and unable to get out.
However, this is useful for children, but not for adults, because it will not get stuck too much. Just push the door hard and let the pencil tip roll over again, and you can open the door.
…
"Haozi, I want to thank you this time." Cheng Qianfan put the pencil sharpener back in his briefcase and said to Li Hao, "If I hadn't called out Kogoro, I might have been blocked by Kogoro."
He asked Li Hao curiously, "Why did you call Kogoro at that critical moment?"
"I don't know if that was a critical moment." Li Hao received praise from Brother Fan and grinned happily, "Brother Fan, when you entered the Imamura Mansion, I sat in the car first, and then I thought about helping Brother Fan keep an eye on it. , just get out of the car and pretend to smoke under the streetlight."
Street light?
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood which position Haozi was talking about.
Looking up under the street light, you can just see the glass window at the corner of the stairs.
The glass is ground glass, so you can't see clearly inside, but you can see people's shadows when they pass by.
“Did you see Kogoro coming up the stairs?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes." Li Hao nodded, "I just thought, Brother Fan, you haven't gone downstairs yet, and I don't know if you have done everything well. It would be terrible if you were hit by Kogoro, so I called Xiao Goro, I'll help you delay for a while, so that I can remind you that Kogoro is going upstairs."
“What a boy!” Cheng Qianfan was very happy. He rubbed Li Hao’s hair from behind with a joyful smile on his face, “You’ve made progress.”
He is really, really, really happy.
Not just because Haozi helped him, he almost saved him once.
It was even more so because it was Haozi who helped him.
Well, there is also Xiaobao.
