Pei Ziyun moved on the tatami.
There is a large TV hanging on the wall opposite. With Sanchiko Sakagami controlling the TV, the news is being broadcast on TV Tokyo.
TV Tokyo is one of the five major radio stations in Japan, with a large number of viewers and impressive ratings. It is especially popular for its accurate news and cutting-edge fashion.
At this moment, the exclusive reporter on the radio was broadcasting a scene. A bunch of people were taking pictures of the corpse and several people. The whole screen was noisy and there was a flash.
The police arrested several people. According to reports, these people were the ones who made mistakes.
Seppuku is a samurai suicide ritual, but the process is too painful, so often the person who commits seppuku will entrust someone he trusts to perform "correction".
If you make a mistake, the person who commits seppuku will be decapitated, so that the person who commits seppuku will die faster and avoid the pain and torture. This is a very honorable thing. Generally speaking, the person who commits seppuku will find one of his closest friends, family members, brothers, or someone who is a master of swordsmanship. people to execute.
The columnist introduced to the TV: "According to the law, those who make mistakes will be sentenced to three to five years for commission of murder!"
Turn to the next shot.
This shot is on a busy street, apparently Ginza, Tokyo.
Ginza is the most prosperous commercial street in Tokyo. There are high-end shops and famous brand stores on both sides of the avenue. The huge windows display the latest fashions for men and women, Jinxiu kimonos, gold and silver jewelry, high-end decorations and exquisite works of art. It is the favorite of Japanese people. A shopping paradise, it is also known as the "Pedestrian's Paradise" because vehicles are prohibited from passing through it during certain hours.
But at this time, what was shown on the screen was not the romance of shopping, but people marching in protest, and from time to time you could see people burning books in anger.
The camera zoomed in, and it turned out that the burned books were Yamada Shinichi's "The Kamagamon Incident", "Who is the Second Man", "The Ghost Walking in the Night", and Yamada Shinichi's latest Ogawa Prize-winning "Shion no Boat".
There were some voices coming from the TV screen. A middle-aged woman, who looked like 40 years old, was holding a banner in her hand. The banner said "Liar Yamada Shinichi" and she kept shouting: "This is a shame for Japanese literature!"
An elderly woman in black clothes with pale hair also held a banner in her hand with bright red words written on it: "Yamada Shinichi goes to prison". At the same time, she was wiping her tears and crying in a hoarse voice: "Yamada Shinichi goes to jail." One must be responsible for the death of my husband!”
At the same time, someone in the parade shouted loudly: "Yamada Shinichi, there is an inside story!"
"If you don't accept it, there is an inside story behind the three major rewards!"
In front of the parade, reporters faced such protests and commented to the camera: "People are protesting now. I wonder what Mr. Yamada Shinichi thinks of this?"
Ishiwatari family
This is a traditional Japanese-style single-family house. It looks a bit old, but the area is good, and it is not far from the Yamada family. At this time, Ishiwata Mako saw this piece of news, and immediately turned around and looked at Yaozi in the courtyard. See if she has heard this piece of news.
Saeko was wearing a training suit, and there was a constant "whooshing" sound in the air. She was wielding a sword, practicing the kendo taught to her by Pei Ziyun.
There was sweat on my forehead and hands, and my workout clothes were soaked through.
Mako Ishiwatari asked Saeko: "Saeko, didn't you see the news just now?"
Saeko, who was practicing his sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, continued to slash with his sword, and said to his mother, "I saw it, what's wrong, mother?"
Mako Ishiwatari was a little worried and scrutinized her face: "Saeko, you don't like Yamada-kun very much. Now that such a big thing has happened, you don't want to comfort him?"
Saeko continued to wield the bamboo sword, slashing, slashing, flicking, and returning. She was not affected by Ishiwata Mako at all. At the same time, she frowned, raised her nose, and said loudly: "Mom, Onii-chan doesn't need comfort." !”
"Besides, Saeko is the daughter of a samurai family. Saeko has to work hard to practice swordsmanship in order to protect her mother and Oni-chan!" Saeko started practicing more seriously.
Hayakawa family
Hayakawa's house is also a one-family house, which can be regarded as a single-family house. It has a two-story wooden building, but it is relatively ordinary. Hayakawa Tatsuko has a plain face, wearing a light blue apron, and is handling dishes in the kitchen.
And Naomi Hayakawa was sitting on the sofa, lying comfortably, cracking melon seeds from time to time, drinking tea, and watching the news.
Her studies have been going well recently, and she has always been among the best. Her status in the club has gradually risen, and she has been recognized and needed by everyone. This kind of life is so comfortable, and she is very satisfied with it.
But when Naomi Hayakawa saw the news about Yamada Shinichi broadcast on Tokyo TV, her rosy face suddenly turned white, her lips were trembling, and even the water cup she was holding in her hand to drink tea couldn't help but let go and dropped it. There was a "pop" sound on the ground, and tea splashed all over the floor.
At this time, Hayakawa Naomi couldn't care less about the tea and tea cup fragments scattered on the ground.
Naomi Hayakawa immediately stood up on the sofa, picked up the phone and prepared to go out.
Hayakawa Tatsuko, who heard the noise in the kitchen, heard the sound of the teacup breaking, came out of the kitchen and asked: "Naomi, what's the matter with you?"
"How can you take care of housework in the future if you are so rough?"
Most Japanese women do not work after marriage. Housewives do all the housework, including three meals a day, cleaning the house, cleaning the yard, disposing of garbage, watering flowers and grass, running bath water, washing clothes, picking up and dropping off children, tutoring children with homework, and education. Children and so on.
They keep their lives in order and arrange their homes comfortably, so that their husbands can put aside the troubles of family affairs and devote themselves to their careers and work.
This is a very important practice for traditional Japanese women.
That's why Hayakawa Tatsuko said this. She just walked out of the kitchen and saw her daughter Hayakawa Naomi, whose face was pale and about to go out. She stopped and shouted: "Naomi, what's wrong with you? Where are you going now?"
"Mom, I'm going to see the minister." Hayakawa Naomi didn't bother to answer. She immediately packed up her things and rushed out, but she only took a few steps. She turned back to grab the lunch box and ran out quickly again.
Fortunately, the running Naomi Hayakawa met the right train as soon as she reached the street.
Hayakawa Naomi didn't hesitate and got on the train directly. It was not the rush hour at this time, but there were no seats left. She stood on tiptoe slightly and grabbed the rings.
She had actually grown taller, and it was not that easy before. After taking a breath, she heard someone talking on the tram.
A pair of young people dressed in couple's costumes were chatting with each other.
The girl among them was wearing light white casual clothes and had a freckle on her face. Although she was not very beautiful, her whole body showed youthful vitality. She was now saying to her boyfriend: "Shinan, what do you think?" The Shijomiya seppuku incident that is making a big fuss now?"
Tachikawa Moshio, who was 1.7 meters tall and wearing black casual clothes, touched his crew cut and said in a disdainful tone: "Juri, do you still need to say that?"
"Yoshiyuki Shijomiya died because he lost hope and committed suicide."
"If Yamada Shinichi hadn't won three major prizes in a row at the age of thirteen and exaggerated his achievements, how could Yoshiyuki Shijomiya have become frustrated and committed suicide?"
"Yoshiyuki Shijomiya wrote in his last words that he committed seppuku because Yamada Shinichi won the award and he lost the election. He couldn't bear the blow."
"So Yamada Shinichi must be responsible, he can't escape!"
His girlfriend, Juri Iuchi, was dissatisfied. She frowned and said, "Although this has something to do with Yamada Shinichi, Shijomiya Yoshiyuki couldn't bear to commit suicide, and it was not Yamada Shinichi who forced him to die."
"Besides, reports say that Yoshiyuki Shijomiya himself had a gambling problem. He might have incurred gambling debts and committed suicide out of hesitation. The so-called suicide note is just an excuse!"
Tachikawa Moshio curled his lips and said: "In any case, Shijomiya Yoshiyuki used his own death to protest the fact that Yamada Shinichi won the Ogawa Prize. Shouldn't Yamada Shinichi bear responsibility?"
Uuchi Juri firmly stood for the relatively good-looking Yamada Shinichi: "Yamada-kun's three major awards were approved by authoritative judges and were not bought, so what responsibility does he have?"
The two argued, and Hayakawa Naomi listened, holding the ring tightly with her little hands, silent, and her face was pale.
When she arrived at Yamada's house, she couldn't help but open her mouth. Several news trucks parked outside the courtyard gate. Media personnel carrying cameras focused their lenses on the courtyard and took pictures with a series of uninterrupted clicks.
Among them are reporters from many well-known media such as Tokyo Daily, Heian Daily, and Today Express.
When Hayakawa Naomi noticed this, she hesitated and walked over. Sure enough, several people noticed her immediately.
"Who are you? Are you Yamada-kun's classmate?"
"Do you know about the Shijomiya seppuku incident?"
"What do you think about this?"
At this time, the door opened. It was Izumi Yamada who opened the door. She was still talking on her cell phone and said loudly: "Naomi, why are you here? Come in quickly."
Although Yamada Izumi was prepared, her face turned pale with fright and she hurriedly entered. At this time, reporters were swarming around, trying to squeeze in for interviews, and the door was closed heavily.
The phone rang. Naomi Hayakawa took it out of her bag and answered the call: "Hello, is this the minister? I'm Naomi, are you okay?"
"I'm at your home now. Yes, I just came. Aren't you at home?"
"Yes, I'm not at home now. I'm at Jinchuan Shrine in Chiba County. Don't worry. I've sent a lawyer over and will warn the other party!" Pei Ziyun's voice came from the phone: "Because you and I are both minors. , according to the law, the media has no right to interview like this."
As he said that, a car drove over, and one person got out and spoke to the reporters. The reporters took a few steps back, but still refused to give in and kept taking pictures.
The man's attitude gradually became harsh, and he seemed to have said harsh words. The reporters gradually dispersed. Seeing this scene, Hayakawa Naomi felt a little relieved.
"Naomi, come here, aren't you afraid?" On the phone, Pei Ziyun seemed to know the development of the situation: "For your own safety, you should stay away!"
Hayakawa Naomi opened her mouth, hesitated, and then mustered up the courage to say: "I'm not afraid. I think Yamada-san is not at fault. You cannot bear the responsibility for this matter. They are too bad."
"Besides, we are a unit and companions. How can we betray you at this time?"
"Really?" In Jinchuan Shrine, Pei Ziyun paused in answering the phone, walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the dark green trees outside, and smiled after a moment: "I understand, Naomi, please pay attention to your safety, I believe I, I will definitely solve it."
The phone hung up, and Pei Ziyun didn't speak, but just murmured: "Are you a companion?"
After a long time, he shouted: "System!"
A plum tree quickly appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged and turned into an information frame with a faint sense of light.
"Task: You have been slandered and this affects your Legend Gate. Please fight back quickly and stabilize the Legend Gate (unfinished)"
The Gate of Legend relies on literary reputation, which is not unsolvable. In fact, after killing Fukunao Myojin, he can feel that a small piece has become permanent.
But until it becomes fully permanent, the rest relies on literary reputation.
"Now that the overthrow faction saw that their plan failed, they discredited themselves?" Pei Ziyun smiled, his eyes cold and murderous.
