Chapter 406: Xia Shuyue’s ending!
Katsushika District in Tokyo, Japan, is more prosperous than Tokyo Minato District and Shibuya District. Once you enter Katsushika District, you feel like you have returned to the last Showa era. There are few high-rise buildings and basically no giant shopping malls. There are more traditional shrines, statues, and some old buildings from more than ten years ago. The houses are mainly residential, and the people walking on the streets are mostly middle-aged and elderly people.
Among Japan's 23 administrative districts, Katsushika Ward has the slowest pace of life, which may have a lot to do with the fact that the average age here is the highest.
It's just that it lacks the fast pace of Tokyo's main urban area and loses a lot of the fun of life, but the prices in Katsushika Ward are much lower than most places in Tokyo. If you just want to live, it is indeed a good place to go.
In an izakaya on the side of one of the alleys, reporters Fujido Tsuyoshi and Chen Tianyang sat opposite each other.
Compared to the silent Chen Tianyang, Fujido Tsuyoshi's wine glass never stopped drinking. He was like a bottomless pit, constantly pouring sake into his stomach.
"You don't want to drink?" Fujita Gang showed Chen Tianyang the wine glass: "The wine here is not expensive, it won't cost a lot of money, don't worry about drinking."
Chen Tianyang arranged this meeting with Fujido Tsuyoshi, so naturally, Chen Tianyang was the one who treated them. Fujido Tsuyoshi saw Chen Tianyang was silent and wondered if he was worried that he would eat and drink too much and his wallet would not be able to bear it, so he kindly reminded him.
However, Chen Tianyang was obviously not the kind of person who cared about small amounts of money. He had heard of Fujido Tsuyoshi's reputation before, but had never met him in person. When he saw him today, he was greatly disappointed.
"You are a reporter. You should keep clear thinking at all times. Drinking is not a good habit." Chen Tianyang shook his head.
"Hehe, you're still a serious person." Fujido Tsuyoshi didn't care and drank another glass of sake: "How can people stay sober all the time? Can you stay rational at all times, huh?"
Chen Tianyang was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the fact that he had previously reported Seoul Airlines to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office without authorization. Even if he was not interested, he couldn't do it himself, so how could he ask others to do it?
"I've heard of you. You can publish any news as long as it's valuable enough, right?"
Fujido Tsuyoshi smacked his lips. "That depends on the news value you provide. The news value is directly proportional to the risk I can take."
Fujitang just put down his wine glass and his expression turned serious: "I'm curious about what news you have, it seems so mysterious."
Chen Tianyang did not directly answer Fujido Tsuyoshi's question, but instead changed the subject: "You were the one who published the initial news about Xu Cang's cabin voice, right?"
Not long after the forced landing in Tokyo Bay, Xu Cang's reputation was quite good at first. After all, he was the number one contributor to the forced landing in Tokyo Bay, and there was no point that could be attacked at all.
Everything changed because of an editorial about Xu Cang's voice. It was this editorial that caused the public opinion environment around Xu Cang to start to deteriorate.
Fujitang Gang did not comment: "Are you Xu Cang's man?"
"Yes!" Chen Tianyang admitted it directly: "Under normal circumstances, the cockpit sound of civil aviation aircraft is considered a secret document of some importance, and some means may be used to obtain it. However, once the cockpit sound of a flight in trouble is top secret, and you were able to obtain it, at least it is not something that a reporter like you can obtain."
In any country, civil aviation cabin audio is a controlled file and is not allowed to be disseminated at will.
However, this level of secrecy is definitely not high, and it can definitely be figured out if the company's internal staff pays some attention.
However, as soon as an accident occurs on a flight, then except in extreme circumstances, the cabin noise of this flight will be at an extremely high level, and even first-hand information is not allowed to pass through the airline to which the plane belongs.
But such a highly controlled audio file was leaked just a few days after the emergency landing in Tokyo Bay. It happened too quickly.
Fujido Tsuyoshi smiled extremely brightly: "You mean..."
"Isn't this obvious? We are all smart people, why are we pretending?" Chen Tianyang tapped his fingers on the table: "JCAB gave you the cabin audio in order to discredit Xu Cang and let them share the firepower on that matter?"
Fujido Tsuyoshi's smile faded a little: "Share the firepower, what firepower?"
Chen Tianyang took out a file from the briefcase on the seat next to him and pouted, "What firepower? JCAB just lost some face in this matter. Although I don't know much about JCAB, it is too petty for a country's civil aviation official agency to deliberately target someone just because it lost some face. So, I am more inclined to believe that there are at least other reasons, other more important reasons."
The rhythmic sound of Chen Tianyang's knuckles tapping kept echoing in Fujido Tsuyoshi's ears: "Your ideas are very...creative."
“No, no, no!” Chen Tianyang laughed, “If you are unable to cover up something, then shirking responsibility is the best way. Moreover, you have to strike first to create public opinion inertia, and then you can completely define a person. Even if new evidence comes out after a while, no one will care.”
While talking, Chen Tianyang pushed the file bag on the table to Fujitang Gang: "Take a look, whether it is valuable or not, you should be able to judge it on the spot."
Fujitang Gang did not answer the call immediately, but asked instead: "Is it about Xu Cang?"
Hearing this question, Chen Tianyang grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth: "Do you know what happened in the United States today? Do you know what happened in Tokyo? Why are you still out so late? Because you already have a hunch, right?"
Chen Tianyang narrowed his eyes. "East Asians are all from the same cultural circle. We all know a saying, retribution will come sooner or later! What's more, retribution comes so quickly. With your personality, when JCAB leaked the cabin sound to you, you should have kept a backup plan, right?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Xu Cang has never been a person who accepts things passively. He has seen through all your tricks. However, exposing you at that time would not cause you any fatal harm. Only when public opinion ferments to a certain extent, not only Xu Cang will be coerced, but you will also be coerced." Chen Tianyang snorted coldly: "What happened in the United States is the best evidence for Xu Cang's concerns. Can you provide evidence to the contrary?"
The 9/11 attacks in the United States almost perfectly confirmed Xu Cang's concerns in the cabin voice, which completely cleared Xu Cang.
Moreover, 9/11 is a living lesson taught with blood and tears. Who dares to overturn it?
As Chen Tianyang said, public opinion is a double-edged sword. When you think you are manipulating public opinion, when it develops to a certain extent, public opinion is actually also coercing you, and when it backfires, the wave will completely submerge you.
It was already late at night when Chen Tianyang met with Fujido Tsuyoshi, and he bluntly stated that he came because of Xu Cang's matter.
Logically speaking, Fujido Tsuyoshi shouldn't come out at this time, after all, it's already midnight.
But Fujido Tsuyoshi still came out. Although he pretended to be casual, Chen Tianyang had already seen through his inner anxiety.
Chen Tianyang used to be a star prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. His specialty was reading people's minds. Compared with Chen Tianyang, Fujido Tsuyoshi was still a little naive.
The reason why Fujido Tsuyoshi was willing to come late at night was simply to test Chen Tianyang's attitude.
With the 9/11 incident, it was a foregone conclusion that public opinion on Xu Cang would be completely reversed. As Chen Tianyang said, as public opinion reversed, the backlash would be extremely exaggerated. The starting point of public opinion on Xu Cang was from his own hands, so he would be the first to bear the brunt of the backlash.
Being able to come here is actually a compromise.
Fujitaro pondered for a moment, took the file bag on the table, opened it, and took out the documents from it.
Chen Tianyang drank tea leisurely. He had no special demand for wine and he still felt more comfortable drinking tea.
Fujido Tsuyoshi only looked at it for a few seconds and his eyelids began to twitch.
"JCAB didn't show you these things, did they?" Chen Tianyang smiled and asked, "How is it?"
A minute later, Fujitaro put the document down and sighed, "Why did you ask me? Considering the value of this news, there should be someone else willing to do it besides me."
"Didn't I tell you? With your personality, when JCAB gave you the cabin voice file, they should have had a backup plan. Your value lies in that backup plan."
As if he had predicted what Fujitang was about to say, Chen Tianyang simply waved his hand: "Don't try to explain anything. If you don't have any, then you have lost your final value, and your work can indeed be handed over to others."
Fujido Tsuyoshi's mouth twitched and he pointed at the document: "Isn't this the original?"
"Nonsense, this is certainly not the original." Chen Tianyang put the documents away: "My time is very tight, you can consider it, but you must give me an answer by tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow? Just one day? That's... too soon." Fujido shook his head. "If I do what you say, I will have a falling out with JCAB. I will be taking a big risk."
In fact, saying this is equivalent to admitting that you have something in your hand.
Chen Tianyang was not at all surprised about this. Fujido Tsuyoshi was asking for benefits.
All I can say is that Fujido Tsuyoshi is an insatiable person. Even at this time, he is still thinking about maximizing his profits.
"Perhaps you still don't quite understand the current situation?" Chen Tianyang sneered: "If you can cooperate, you are a reporter who was deceived by JCAB, but later came to his senses and still has a conscience. But if you don't cooperate, then you are a shameless person with low character who colluded with JCAB and refused to repent in the end. The right to choose between these two endings is what you can get. How about it, is it enough?"
Fujita took a deep breath. He did not answer directly, but asked Chen Tianyang: "What is the meaning of doing this? Xu Cang's public opinion will definitely be overturned. What can you gain by provoking such a big conflict? Is it really appropriate to make the relationship with JCAB so tense?"
"JCAB, JCAB..." Chen Tianyang's tone was full of disdain: "I have already told you what you need to do. It is none of your business to ask about other matters."
After collecting the documents, Chen Tianyang stood up and looked down at Fujitang Gang: "I'm in a bad mood, so don't think about playing any tricks. Your things are somewhat useful, but don't overestimate your own value. Such a misjudgment will only lead you to eternal damnation."
After saying that, Chen Tianyang picked up his briefcase and said, "Call that number when you've made up your mind."
After the voice fell , Chen Tianyang left directly. When he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said with a smile: "I have already paid the bill, you can enjoy it slowly, no hurry, no hurry."
Looking at Chen Tianyang's figure walking away, Fujitang Gang no longer had the slightest interest in drinking.
After hesitating for a while, Fujitang Tsuyoshi stood up and left the izakaya, but he didn't go after Chen Tianyang. Instead, he went straight home.
His residence is not far from the izakaya, but this is not his real home. It is just a shelter in Tokyo. His hometown is in Osaka.
The rent in Katsushika Ward is relatively cheap, but most of the houses are old. However, Fujido Tsuyoshi doesn't care much.
When he got home, he didn't even turn on the lights. Instead, he ran to the bedroom in the moonlight and took out a recorder from the bedside drawer.
I pressed the play button, and first there was a loud noise, followed soon by the first sound.
"Mr. Nakamura, have you changed your mind?" This sentence actually came from Fujido Tsuyoshi's own voice.
However, soon a second person's voice came from inside: "Sit down and try it. The coffee here is good."
The second person's voice was deep and rich. It was the voice of JCAB investigator Yukio Nakamura.
This recording turned out to be a recording of the conversation when Yukio Nakamura met Fujido Tsuyoshi in a coffee shop and leaked Xu Cang's cabin audio file to him.
Yukio Nakamura never expected that the conversation at that time was recorded by Fujido Tsuyoshi.
Chen Tianyang has a very thorough understanding of Fujido Tsuyoshi. People like Fujido Tsuyoshi who only care about the news value and not the impact will definitely bring many hidden dangers to themselves. If such people don't have any scheming, they would have hidden dangers somewhere long ago.
After confirming that there was no problem with the recording, Fujitang Gang leaned against the bed and sat on the floor, silent in the dark room, like a silent shadow, no one knew what he was thinking.
…
At the same time, although it was late at night, a life-and-death race had just ended at the Haneda Airport Medical Department.
As the lights in the operating room went out, the surgeon took off his mask and came out. Xia Shuyue and Richard Bayer, who had been waiting outside for several hours, hurried to greet him.
"Doctor, are you okay?" Xia Shuyue's heart almost stopped, fearing to hear bad news.
The doctor smiled and said, "The patient is very lucky. The wound is small, and it is a penetrating wound. Otherwise, he would not have made it this far. Now, we have treated his wound, and he should be out of danger. However, you should not visit him tonight. Let him have a good rest. If you want to visit him, check on his condition tomorrow."
Xia Shuyue thanked him repeatedly, her eyes moist with excitement, and she finally felt relieved.
"It's okay, it's okay." Richard Bayer sat back on the bench and let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.
Xia Shuyue finally smiled. Xu Cang would be pushed into the intensive care unit soon. Although he couldn't go in, Xia Shuyue still planned to stay outside, so she turned around and said to Richard Bayer, "Mr. Bayer, why don't you go back and rest first? I'll watch over here."
Richard Bayer waved his hand : "I can't sleep even if I go back in my current state. Wait here for a while. I also have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Xia Shuyue was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"
Richard Baier organized his words a little: "You know, I'm the president of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Association, which is the world's largest civil aviation union organization."
"Ah, I know." Xia Shuyue nodded: "Is there any problem with this?"
"It's like this..." Richard Bailton paused, "A long time ago, I talked to Xu Cang and wanted him to take over the association. However, Xu Cang neither refused nor agreed at that time."
Xia Shuyue was stunned: "Why? As far as I know, your association is very powerful, why doesn't Xu Cang take over?"
"Because of constraints." Richard Bayer sighed, "According to the association's regulations, if Xu Cang takes over the position of chairman, he must cut off his private assets related to civil aviation for a long time. The board of directors does not allow the chairman to use his position to seek personal gain, at least not while in office. In view of this rule, Xu Cang has been very hesitant. However, I can see that Xu Cang attaches great importance to the association, otherwise he would not be so entangled."
Xia Shuyue frowned: "Mr. Bayer, these things...shouldn't you wait until Xu Cang wakes up before talking to me? It seems useless to tell me...
"No, no, no, it's very useful." Richard Bayer smiled and said, "I found a way to get Xu Cang's support without him becoming the chairman of the association. However, I need your help with this!"
