Chapter 807: The End of Shadowshovel Village
July 28th, Friday, afternoon, Shadowspade Village Bus Terminal, Shadowspade Village Hotel.
The bus stopped to put down the tourists, changed the crew, and then drove away. Six people, Mori, Lan, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko also got off the bus.
Lan asked Maori, "Now let's talk about it, what are you doing here, Dad?"
"Here," Maori said shyly, "I'm here to watch TV."
"Huh?" Lan, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko were very surprised.
Mori smiled happily: "The Chichibu Broadcasting Bureau will broadcast two previous concerts of Ms. Yoko today."
"Then you can go to Chichibu City." Mei Daizi said, "It's much better there than here."
"Well..." Maori was a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that you have to go to other places?" Sonoko asked.
"Well," Mao Li said guiltily, "Ms. Yoko's movie series will be broadcast there tomorrow. Let's go there in the afternoon, and it will be closer by this way."
"..." Lan, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko were all speechless.
"Okay, I'm going to watch TV." Maori said, "you can do what you want." After speaking, he yelled "Miss Yoko, I'm here" and ran to the hotel.
"Daddy!" Lan complained.
"Forget it, it's not bad to walk at night, the mosquitoes in this kind of place must be very powerful." Yuanzi smiled.
"Okay, let's go too and see what's delicious here." Mei Daizi said. ...
Shadow spade village hotel, restaurant.
Mei Daizi looked at the menu and asked the shopkeeper in her thirties, "Do you have wild game here?"
The female shopkeeper said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, miss, we don't have these things here, but we have a lot of aquatic products here. Look at this river fresh sashimi, it's definitely worth the money."
Mei Daizi asked: "Then are there any live chickens or ducks here?"
The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the chickens and ducks here are all frozen. The chickens in our village are mainly raised for laying eggs, not for eating. Look at this delicious hot pot, I promise you won't be disappointed."
"Ah, really." Mei Daizi was discouraged.
"Boss, we want the two dishes you mentioned." Yuanzi said with a smile, "You can watch some special dishes."
"Okay." The female shopkeeper bowed and left.
"Lan, Yuanzi, I don't want to stay here anymore, my brother and I are going back first, remember to call me at night." Mei Daizi said.
"Alright then." Lan smiled.
"Go slowly." Sonoko smiled.
After that, Yamazaki and Midaiko left the hotel, and then met Miss Natsume, who seemed to have been waiting for a chance to find Yamazaki.
Yamazaki asked with a smile: "Miss Natsume, where is the emergency heliport in the village? Can you take us there?"
"Yes, it's just behind the village hospital." Miss Natsume said, "This way, please."
"Mei Daiko, please call, I'll talk to Ms. Natsume." Yamazaki said.
"Okay, brother." Mei Daizi said.
Miss Natsume said nervously: "My name is Natsume Toko, this gentleman..."
"My name is Yamazaki,
Yamazaki said, "I'm going to say it straight. If you want me to help you, please tell the truth. If you don't want to do this and just want to act in your own way, then please do it yourself." That needle is only useful if you find it on the spot, and now it doesn't mean that it has something to do with you, so don't worry. "
"Help me? For what?" Natsume Toko asked.
"Because this matter of yours made me come across it." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I ruined your plan. As compensation, I should help you complete another plan."
"I," Natsume Toko hesitated for a while and sighed, "I said, this matter has been in my heart for several years, and it might be easier to say it."
"All ears," said Yamazaki.
At this moment, the three of them arrived at their destination, the helipad behind the hospital in Yingchao Village.
Natsume Tako said: "This matter starts with Yingzhao Village. Yingzhao Village has always focused on agriculture. Thanks to the protection policy of the Agricultural Cooperative, life has been ordinary and stable. Later, the domestic economic environment took a sharp turn for the worse. Naturally, it was also affected. In 1991, the previous village chief took the blame and resigned. Takehiko Funaki, who runs a direct sale of agricultural products, advocated the use of the tertiary industry to improve the village's economy and create more jobs, so as to leave behind those who have to go out to find jobs. Young man, this proposal was approved by most people at the time, so Takehiko Funaki took over the position of village chief."
"It's just easier said than done. After taking office, Takehiko Funaki asked the villagers to pay for the establishment of a tourist club, build village roads and buy buses, but very few responded. In the end, only the hotel was remodeled. , and then rented a sightseeing bus."
"Also, the life of urban people is different from that of rural people, and their living habits are different, which makes many villagers dissatisfied with tourists. This also creates two factions, the pros and the opposition. The opposition is headed by Omuraji , Because once tourists trampled on his farmland, he didn't like tourists, and when there were too many oppositions, it turned into hatred."
"The traffic in Yingchao Village is inconvenient, and the scenery is not perfect. The number of people who come to visit is not as many as hundreds of thousands as expected, but only tens of thousands. Naturally, the economy has not improved much, and the number of jobs has naturally decreased. The young people still left. It’s just that at the end of the year, the tourism industry is still somewhat beneficial to the economic income of Yingshi Village, so Takehiko Funaki’s seat as the village head is still stable, and the tourism policy has continued. Later, Saitama Prefecture With the negative news about agricultural products, the agricultural income of Shadow Spade Village has also been affected, and the tourism industry has become more valuable, and Takehiko Funaki’s position as village head has become more stable.”
"My father came here for sightseeing in 1993, but he had a traffic accident and died together with a companion. In order to shirk responsibility, the Yingchao Village Tourist Club initially said that the responsibility for the accident should be borne by my father and that person. But the paper is the package. Don’t let the flames out, once the lawsuit starts, the truth will soon be revealed.”
"That day, a drunken passenger on the bus harassed the stewardess at the time. She is now the proprietress of the hotel. She has resigned since that accident. She has shares in the village tourism agency, so the village chief let her Manage the hotel."
"My father stepped forward to stop the drunk, but the two started to wrestle. At that time, besides the tourists, there were nine villagers including Okumuraji in the car, but they all stood by with the mentality of watching the excitement or being afraid of getting into trouble. In the end, My father and the drunk man were wrestling and hit the driver of the bus."
"The bus was about to pass the dangerous turn you saw when the driver overturned the car and slid down the hill. My father and the drunk man died on the spot, and many passengers were injured."
Speaking of this, Natsume Toko burst into tears, "If, if someone had helped my father at that time, things would not have been like this."
"How was the lawsuit decided?" Mei Daizi asked.
Natsume Toko said: "The chief referee judged that my father was not responsible at all. The drunk and all the passengers in the car were responsible to varying degrees, and the biggest responsible party was the Kageshi Village Tourist Club."
Mei Daizi asked: "Then you are here for revenge?"
Natsume Toko said: "Yes, after graduating from university, I came to Yingzhao Village for sightseeing, pretended to like it here and stayed, and joined the Yingzha Village Tourist Club. After my father passed away, I took my mother's surname, so none of them Discover."
"The Shadow Shovel Village Tourist Club lost a lot of money, and had to buy the broken sightseeing bus. The bus was repaired and put into operation, but it broke down again after driving for a while, and finally had to be scrapped .”
"So, Funaki Takehiko put his idea on the village bus, and in the name of nostalgic elements, the village council passed the proposal that the village bus should be used as a sightseeing bus during holidays and tourist seasons. This triggered a conflict. The support faction headed by Takehiko and the opposition faction headed by Okumuraji had a big fight, and the relationship between the two sides became more and more rigid."
Yamazaki said: "I see, you want to take revenge on the whole village."
"Why do you say that?" Natsume Toko asked.
Yamazaki said: "You must have done that needle after the fight, and you must always carry it with you for the right time. This time is when the leader of the opposition, Mr. Okumura, and the supporters had a quarrel over bus seats and the village's sightseeing policy. time. Mr. Okumura is obsessed with his seat, it always happens."
"Once Mr. Okumura dies, the person who quarreled with him earlier is the biggest suspect. Now this person is Mr. Yabe. At that time, the opposition will definitely not let it go. This conflict will not be as simple as a fight."
"At that time, as long as the media is notified, the reputation of the village will be ruined. The village head may also resign, and the related tourism industry will also be ruined. Maybe the whole village will be ruined."
Natsume Toko said, "You're right, that's what I planned."
Yamazaki said with a smile: "If you say that, I didn't destroy your plan, but I did help you a lot."
Natsume Toko asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"
Yamazaki asked with a smile: "What do you think will happen to Kagezawa Village after the head of Kagezawa Village is replaced by Mr. Okumura?"
"The village chief is replaced by Okumurakichi?" Natsume Toko thought for a while and laughed, "I see, thank you for stopping me."
Mei Daizi asked: "Understand what?"
Natsume Toko said: "Okumuraji suspects that Takehiko Funaki is dereliction of duty. According to my guess, there is indeed a problem with Takehiko Funaki, because the money earned by the Kagesho Village Tourist Club over the years should not be able to afford a bus, but he made up his mind. On the village bus. I believe the police will be able to find evidence of Takehiko Funaki’s dereliction of duty and bring him to justice.”
"In this way, the supporters are bound to be defeated, and the opposition is bound to win. The leader of the opposition, Okumurakichi, will definitely become the new village chief. At that time, Okumurakichi will definitely end the tourism industry in the village and let the villagers concentrate on Farming. Then the problem came, firstly, the land in the village was limited and there was no new land for young people to cultivate, and secondly, not many young people were willing to stay in this kind of Satoyama, so the village was also finished."
Speaking of this, Natsume Toko saluted Yamazaki, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life in Oku Village." Then he straightened up and said, "If someone else is the village head, maybe the village will reopen after a while. The tourism industry, and Okumurakichi hates the tourism industry in the village and would never do that."
Mei Daizi asked: "Uh, why do I feel like we are the villains on TV now? We are discussing how to destroy a village."
Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Did we do anything?"
Mei Daizi said: "No."
Yamazaki asked back: "Since we didn't do anything, how could we destroy the village?"
"That's right, Funaki Takehiko is responsible. If it wasn't for his dereliction of duty for selfish reasons, the road must have been repaired long ago, and Okumurakichi can't bring him down." Natsume Toko said sadly, "Maybe, maybe my father will be fine."
Mei Daizi said: "That's right."
Yamazaki said: "Don't worry, if Shadowshovel Village is really in trouble, the villagers will ask Mr. Okumura to change. If he doesn't change, his village head will be the end of the day, and then there will naturally be other people to lead Shadow Shovel. Spade Village is out of trouble."
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "That's right, that's the truth."
Natsume Tako murmured: "It's just that after the pain, it's really hard to say how many people and how much wealth will be left in Yingzhai Village, it's up to God to decide, just like my father's fate. "
At this time, a helicopter flew over.
Yamazaki said: "Miss Natsume, how about going with us? With your heart, staying here in Satoyama is a bit of a shame. Find another job."
Natsume Toko said: "That's fine, thank you very much. I'm studying at the Department of Tourism, Seongnam International University, so I'm here to be the bus lady. You can see the arrangement."
Yamazaki said, "I will."
At this time, Natsume Toko saw the red colorful crown on the helicopter and asked again, "Are you the children of the high-level employees of the Good Mood Foundation?"
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "That belongs to my family."
Natsume Toko was taken aback, "Really?"
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Of course, this can't fool anyone."
Natsume Toko smiled excitedly: "Okay, I'll take a ride, no, a ride with the helicopter."
Yamazaki smiled and said, "Welcome."...
Later, Okumuraji reported Takehiko Funaki, and the police found evidence of Takehiko Funaki's dereliction of duty after investigation, and Takehiko Funaki was sentenced to five years in prison. ...
