Chapter 464 Izakaya

"cheers!"

In an izakaya on the corner of a street in Kyoto, there was a loud clinking of glasses.There were only four people, Beiyuan, Miyagawa, Morimoto, and Ishimura, sitting around a square table.There are all kinds of kebabs, fried tofu, sashimi, and Tang Yang fried chicken on the table.These snacks exude a tempting aroma, which is particularly attractive under the illumination of the lights.

At this time, the clock in the store had pointed to 1:13 in the evening.

Morimoto has brought Beiyuan and his party to the third round of dinner in the evening.

Coming out of the detention center, regaining personal freedom, and breathing in the air without the smell of rotten walls, only at this moment can I know how beautiful the daily life I have been accustomed to is.

Morimoto held up the beer glass in his hand, his face flushed red from alcohol, and he said with a cheerful smile, "Lawyer Beiyuan, come! I'll do it first!"

Immediately, Morimoto gulped down the big wooden cup in his hand.

Then he showed the empty cup in his hand to the two lawyers in front of him.

"Dr. Morimoto, don't drink too much." Kitahara smiled. "During the dinner at night, I already drank a large bottle of sake. It's not very good to mix too many different types of wine."

Morimoto waved his hand and hiccupped, "Lawyer Beiyuan doesn't need to drink, but I must."

Immediately, Morimoto looked at his watch again, and said with a drunken smirk, "I know there is a kabuki shop nearby. I have accompanied many big bosses to go there before. The kabuki inside can... You know, lawyer Beiyuan, do you want to taste the style of women in Kyoto?"

"What are you talking about!" Hearing what her husband said, Ishimura immediately raised his eyebrows, and directly twisted the arm that was holding Morimoto.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" Morimoto's whole body bounced up, and then he hugged the wife next to him lightly, muttering, "I've never been there before. I've been watching from the side all the time."

Miyakawa didn't understand what Morimoto meant at first, but after seeing Shicun's behavior, he suddenly realized what he was going to take Beiyuan to do just now.

Maybe it's because of the thought that a young man will always have such needs, and now that the lawsuit is over, he has the motivation to go out to have fun and release pressure.

Miyagawa's face froze for a moment, he was really afraid that the male companion in front of him would be encouraged to do something romantic.

"I... Lawyer Kitahara and I went back to the hotel to rest." Miyagawa replied with a straight face.

"He has lawyer Miyagawa, as for going outside?" Ishimura pinched Morimoto next to him and said, "How can you say such things in front of others."

Hearing Shicun's words, Bei Yuan was drinking, when he was suddenly "choked" and coughed.

Miyagawa blushed unexpectedly.If it were normal, she might be a little incoherent, so she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No...it's not like that." But now, she lowered her head slightly, looked at the cup in her hand, and didn't make a sound to explain, as if she was tacitly acquiescing. Ishimura's statement.

On the small square table, after the four people looked at each other, there was another burst of laughter.

Then, there was a burst of clinking sounds.

The waiter next to him served a few dishes of snacks again.

Changes in the world are often so impermanent.Just 8 hours ago, Morimoto was still nervously waiting for the judge's verdict in the courtroom.But now, you can sit in the izakaya and eat and drink happily.The tide rises and falls, and the moon waxes and wanes.No one knows whether their life will undergo earth-shaking changes in the next moment.It is said that according to the theory of quantum mechanics, the positions of all particles in this world are random, but the probability is different.Theoretically speaking, even if a person suddenly disappears on the earth and then appears on the moon, it is also possible, but the probability is too small.

Time keeps moving forward.

The snacks on the table changed plate after plate.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion on the floor, Bei Yuan felt the relaxation of his muscles and bones under tonight's delicious food and alcohol.However, although the body is relaxing, the mental tension has not disappeared.

The reason is very simple.

The court's acquittal did not acquit Morimoto in the true sense.

It's just a declaration of innocence without finding out the facts.

The opponent may make a comeback at any time.

Bei Yuan put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the researcher in front of him, and said, "In the afternoon, I also mentioned the legal effect of this acquittal verdict. As long as the prosecutor's office has the so-called new evidence, they can completely Re-prosecute at any time. So, after that, Dr. Morimoto, what's the plan?
"There is no future plan." Morimoto smiled bitterly, "After this incident, it is impossible for a university in Toyo to want me."

The researcher's gaze seemed to dim a bit, and then he raised his head again and said, "However, my supervisor in Xiyang cares about me very much. He sent me an email immediately after he knew that my judgment came out today. The supervisor's side Just need to recruit postdoctoral fellows, come to ask if you need this opportunity.”

"Postdoctoral—" Morimoto murmured, looking at the wine glass in his hand.

Everything seems to be back to the original point.

Everything seemed to be back to when I just graduated and was about to find a job.

Going back to Toyo and working in the Daheyuan research group for the past few years seems like a dream.

And now, woke up.

"After having the experience of managing a production and research enterprise, I think I am more suitable to be a person who stays in the study." Morimoto took another sip of wine, "After that, I should go to the supervisor to continue to be a postdoctoral fellow. Xiyang Unlike Dongyang, there is no age limit. There, postdoctoral fellows can work for a lifetime. Now that I think about it, it’s pretty good.”

Morimoto smiled cheerfully.

"When will you leave?" Bei Yuan asked.

"Maybe we have to wait for a while." Morimoto said, "After all, I'm buying property here, and I won't be able to leave for a while. There is still a bank loan on the house. How to sell it has to be figured out. However, these Let the intermediary handle the matter. My wife is also applying for a postdoctoral or research assistant at Western University. After she gets the result, we will go there together."

Beiyuan nodded.

Afterwards, several people continued to eat snacks and drink beer.

A moment of silence enveloped the square table.

While eating, Morimoto took out his phone and swipe it, as if he was looking for something to talk about. After a while, he put the screen in front of Beiyuan.But I saw a webpage on it, which was the news that Morimoto was recruited by the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University.At that time, the Faculty of Engineering specially created a short message page in the college to welcome Dr. Morimoto to join.

"When I first entered Kyoto University, I specially cut down this page." Morimoto smiled embarrassedly, "I was so happy and excited that the Faculty could make such a page to welcome me. .However, who would have thought that things would turn out like this later on.”

"After leaving, will you miss this place?" Bei Yuan asked abruptly.

Morimoto was slightly taken aback.

He looked at the phone screen in front of him.

As if caught in a memory.

It seemed to remind me of the day when I first came to Kyoto University.

Came to the iconic big camphor tree.

Looking forward to my upcoming academic career.

"It might have been possible in the past, but now - probably not." The researcher murmured.
