Chapter 709: The Message From Hattori Heiji

Chapter 1579 Message from Hattori Heiji

Because of Hattori Shizuka's words, on the way back to Tokyo from Shizuoka, Hattori Shizuka tried to contact other classmates in the kendo club back then, as if he wanted to confirm the information related to Shibata Shiro's study of kendo back then. —

In particular, does anyone know which kendo gym he learned his moves from?

It seems that Hattori Shizuka has some impressions, knowing that Shibata Shiro's kendo is inherited from a certain kendo gym, but which kendo gym it is specifically, this will make Hattori Shizuka unable to remember, so he needs to find another one by himself. Ask people to see.

In this way, after Hattori Shizuka contacted several classmates who were in the same club, and by asking them, he finally got some information about the kendo gym——

It seemed to be a dojo of some niche sect, but that dojo had closed down more than twenty years ago.

In this regard, if you think about it, Shibata Shiro learned kendo more than thirty years ago, so it is foreseeable that the dojo cannot be maintained to this day.

However, it is still difficult to conduct further investigation on such information. It is not easy to find information about a certain kendo gym thirty years ago, and it is difficult to find the answer on the Internet.

After all, this is not like the summer competition that has been held to this day. The organizers have also started to use the Internet to keep pace with the times, so that some competition information from that year has also been put online by the competition officials, so that Gao Yuan can find it.

However, this is a dojo that closed down twenty years ago, and what I want to know may still be something that happened more than thirty years ago. I am afraid that this matter can only be investigated on the spot...

In this regard, just when Gao Yuan was thinking about this, Hattori Shizuka seemed to have expected it, and then said to Gao Yuan:

"The kendo gym back then was in Osaka. If you want to investigate the past of that kendo gym, I'll find someone to check it out."

Saying this, Shizuka Hattori entered a number and prepared to contact someone to investigate——

"Hey, Heiji... Yes, please investigate the situation of this kendo gym back then. This may be related to an incident that Detective Akechi is investigating... Yes, as soon as possible."

In this way, seeing that Hattori Shizuka contacted Hattori Heiji, this made Gao Yuan feel a little unexpected and reasonable. He originally thought that Hattori Shizuka was asking the Osaka Prefectural Police to find someone to investigate, but it turned out that he was asking the Osaka Prefectural Police to find someone to investigate. Fucked his own son.

But no matter what, with Hattori Heiji stepping in to investigate, Takato felt quite at ease——

Then all that's left is to wait for Hattori Heiji's results.

As for Tokyo...

He had been gone for so long, and Xiao Ai, who stayed in the hospital to take care of Tie Zhuyu and the others, did not contact him specifically. He thought there should be no accidents there.

So, did that mysterious samurai really sneak away from Tokyo to Shizuoka?

But if this is the case, does the other party let Usami Chiyo, Tie Zhuyu and the others go? So I just came to Shizuoka directly, planning to find Shibata Shiro...

Um……

Still a little confused -

Is there any connection between Usami Chiyo and Shibata Shiro? One is a young girl in her twenties, and the other is a middle-aged man in his forties. Even if you take a step back, they may both be descendants of that niche kendo school, but it is obvious that Usami Chiyo has already There is a huge gap in the kendo level between the little girl who is devoted to the idol career and Shibata Shiro, who is engaged in physical education and often participates in various competitions.

Therefore, if this mysterious man planned to engage in a kendo duel, why did he initially choose Usami Chiyo, a person who obviously posed no threat to him?

After all, he had also fought against the opponent. It was obvious that Usami Chiyo could not defeat the mysterious samurai in a normal duel anyway, so logically speaking, there was no point in having a duel with Usami Chiyo to test his swordsmanship.

So, the greater possibility is to kill people?

But if you put it this way, the other two people have not succeeded in killing any of them, and it seems that the other party has let Usami Chiyo and the others go.

Therefore, the possibility of homicide also seems less tenable.

——Furthermore, the main point is that I still think that Usami Chiyo and Shibata Shiro may be descendants of the same school. If the final investigation proves that they are not, then it will be difficult to say what Usami Chiyo and Shibata Shiro have in common. , is it just because you have learned kendo?

There are many people who have learned swordsmanship in this world, why did this mysterious warrior choose these two people?

In this way, just when Gao Yuan was thinking like this, his mobile phone received a call from Hattori Heiji——

At this time, Hattori Heiji called...

You won't investigate so quickly, right?

Suddenly stunned, Gao Yuan hurriedly answered the phone:

"Hey, Hattori, what's going on?"

"I just heard my mother say, detective brother, you are investigating an ancient kendo school in Osaka, right? What a coincidence, you said, there happens to be an old policeman in the Osaka Prefectural Police who learned this school back then. , so I got some information right away, and I want to tell you now, hoping it will be helpful to the case you are currently investigating!"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Hearing what Hattori Heiji said, the investigation really had results, Takato couldn't help but said with joy.

"Hey, it's a small matter. However, this matter is a bit complicated to explain. Where should I start..."

Hattori Heiji on the other end of the phone seemed a little entangled, and then tried to cut in from one angle and said:

"Detective, since you also practice Kendo, you should also know the three major schools of Japanese Kendo, which are Itto-ryu, Shinto-ryu and Gin-ryu.

"Among them, Gin-ryu's founder Aizu Ikosai founded the 'Gin-ryu'. After he passed the technique to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, there was the 'Shin-Kagyu'. But after Ikosai, his family later changed their surname to Hirasawa, and then the inheritance of Gin-ryu was cut off in the hands of the Hirasawa family, so the 'Shin-Kagyu' was passed down later.

"But more than 20 years after Yixiangzhai passed away, on the battlefield of a neighboring country, the legendary general Qi Jiguang of the neighboring country found a fragment of the book "Yinliu Sword Method Picture and Text" written by Yixiangzhai from an unknown warrior. After Qi Jiguang picked up this book, which was a unique sword manual that was not available in Japan at that time, he combined it with the samurai of the neighboring country to form the "Xinyou Sword Method", which was fully included in the book "Bubeishi".

"Later, "Xinyou Sword Method" and "Bubeishi" were introduced to Japan. There is a legend that the emergence of "Zhishin Yinliu" is related to this, but it is hard to say because there is no clear record. However, the introduction of "Bubeishi" has influenced a large number of sword schools, especially the emergence of Kendo at the end of the shogunate and the development of Kendo equipment. This is beyond reproach.

"And it just so happens that the school you want to understand appeared in this complex process..."
