Pei Zi Yun moved a little on the tatami.
There was a big TV hanging on the opposite wall. With the remote control of Sakanoue Sanko, Tokyo TV was broadcasting the news.
Tokyo TV was one of the five major radio stations in Japan. It had a large audience and impressive ratings. It was especially popular for its accurate news and cutting-edge fashion.
At this moment, the interview reporter on the radio was broadcasting a scene. A group of people were filming the corpses and a few people. The whole screen was noisy and there were flashes.
The police had arrested a few people. According to the report, these people were the ones who had made a mistake.
Cutting the abdomen was a samurai suicide ritual. However, the process was too painful. Many times, the person who cut the abdomen would entrust a trusted person to perform the "mistake".
The mistake would behead the person who cut the abdomen, so that the person would die faster and avoid pain and torture. This was a very honorable thing. Generally, the person who cut the abdomen would find a close friend, family member, brother, or a person who was skilled in kendo to carry it out.
The reporter introduced in front of the TV, "According to the law, the person who cut the abdomen will be sentenced to three to five years for the crime of murder!"
The next scene was shown.
This scene was on a bustling street. It looked like it was Ginza, Tokyo.
Ginza was the most prosperous commercial street in Tokyo. Both sides of the avenue were lined with high-end shops and famous shops. The huge windows displayed the latest fashion for men and women, embroidered kimonos, gold and silver jewelry, high-end decorations, and exquisite works of art. It was the favorite shopping paradise of the Japanese. Because vehicles were not allowed to pass at fixed times, it was also known as the "Pedestrian's Paradise".
However, at this time, the scene was not showing the romance of shopping. There were people protesting, and from time to time, people could be seen angrily burning books.
The camera zoomed in. It turned out that the books burned were Yamada Shinji's "The Change of Fujin Gate", "Who is the Second Man", "Nocturnal Ghost", and Yamada Shinji's latest Ogawa Award, "The Boat of Ziyuan".
There were some voices coming from the TV. A middle-aged woman, who looked to be in her 40s, held a banner in her hand. The banner had the words "Liar Yamada Shinji" written on it. At the same time, she kept shouting, "This is the shame of Japanese literature!"
An old woman in black, with white hair, also held a banner in her hand. The words "Yamada Shinji" were written on it in bright red. At the same time, she was wiping her tears and crying in a hoarse voice, "Yamada Shinji must be responsible for my husband's death!"
At the same time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Yamada Shinji, there's an inside story!"
"I'm not convinced. There's an inside story behind the Three Great Rewards!"
The reporter in front of the parade said to the camera, "The people are protesting now. I wonder what Mr. Yamada Shinichi thinks about this?"
Ishito family
This was a traditional Japanese-style house with a separate door and courtyard. It looked a little old, but the area was not bad. It was not far from the Yamada family. At that moment, Mako Ishiwatari saw the news and immediately turned to look at Yako in the courtyard to see if she had heard the news.
Cuo Zi was dressed in a set of training attire. She was swinging her saber over and over again, practicing the sword skills that Pei Zi Yun had taught her.
His forehead and hands were covered in sweat, and his training clothes were also soaked.
Mako Ishidu asked Kuwako, "Kuwako, didn't you see the news just now?"
Cuozi, who was practicing his swordsmanship, wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to slash. He said to his mother, "I saw it. What's wrong, Mother?"
Mako Ishidu was a little worried and looked at her face, "Kuwako, don't you like Yamada-kun very much? Now that something like this has happened, aren't you going to comfort him?"
Cuozi continued to swing her bamboo sword, slashing, slashing, pushing, and returning. She was completely unaffected by Mako Ishidu's words. At the same time, she frowned and sniffed loudly, "Mother, onii-chan doesn't need to be comforted!"
"Furthermore, Cuozi is the daughter of a martial artist. Cuozi has to work hard to protect mother and onii-chan!" As she spoke, Cuozi started to practice even more seriously.
Hayakawa family
Hayakawa's house was built by a single family as well. It was a two-story wooden house, but it was relatively ordinary. Hayakawa Tazuko had no makeup on and wore a light blue apron. She was in the kitchen, preparing some vegetables.
Hayakawa Naomi was sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating melon seeds and drinking tea. She was watching the news.
Recently, her studies had been going smoothly, and she had always been one of the top students. Her status in the club was gradually rising, and she was recognized and needed by everyone. This kind of life was too comfortable for her, and she was very satisfied with it.
But when Hayakawa Naomi saw Yamada Shinichi's news broadcast on Tokyo TV, her ruddy face turned pale, and her lips trembled. Even the cup in her hand that was about to drink tea fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, and the tea splashed all over the floor.
At this time, Hayakawa Naomi couldn't care less about the tea and teacup fragments on the floor.
Hayakawa Naomi immediately stood up from the sofa, picked up the phone, and was about to go out.
Hayakawa Tazuko, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound of the teacup shattering. She walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Naomi, what's wrong with you?"
"How are you going to manage the house in the future?"
Most Japanese women don't work after marriage, and all the housework is done by the housewife, including three meals a day, cleaning the house, cleaning the yard, throwing away the garbage, watering the flowers, running the bath, washing the clothes, picking up the children, tutoring the children, and so on.
They take care of the family's life in an orderly manner, and make the house comfortable, so the husband can put aside the troubles of the family and focus on his career and work.
This is a very important practice for traditional Japanese women.
That's why Hayakawa Tazuko said that. But when she walked out of the kitchen, she saw her daughter, Hayakawa Naomi, was about to go out. Hayakawa Tazuko stopped her. "Naomi, what's wrong with you? Where are you going? "
"Mom, I'm going to see the minister." Hayakawa Naomi didn't have time to answer. She immediately packed up her things and rushed out. But after a few steps, she turned back and took the lunchbox and ran out again.
Fortunately, Hayakawa Naomi ran into the right tram when she arrived at the street.
Hayakawa Naomi didn't hesitate and got on the tram. It wasn't rush hour, but there were no seats left. So, she stood on her tiptoes and grabbed the ring.
She had actually grown taller, and it wasn't that easy before. Just as she was about to catch her breath, she heard someone talking on the tram.
A pair of young people in matching outfits were chatting with each other.
One of the girls was dressed in light white casual clothes. She had freckles on her face. Although she wasn't very beautiful, she exuded the vitality of youth. She was now saying to her boyfriend, "Zhinan, what do you think of the Shijo Gong incident that's causing an uproar now?"
Tachikawa Tazuko, who was 1.7 meters tall and wore black casual clothes, touched his head and said in a disdainful tone, "Shuri, do you still need to say it?"
"Shijo Miyazaki's death was due to losing hope and committing suicide."
"If it weren't for Yamada Shinichi winning three major awards at the age of thirteen, how could Shijo Miyazaki commit suicide?"
"Shijo Miyazaki wrote in his last words that he lost the award because Yamada Shinichi won. He couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide."
"So, Yamada Shinichi must be responsible. He can't escape!"
His girlfriend, Shuri Iuchi, was dissatisfied. She frowned and said, "Although this has something to do with Yamada Shinichi, Shijo Miyazaki committed suicide because he couldn't bear it. Yamada Shinichi didn't force him to die."
"Moreover, the report said that Shijo Miyazaki himself had a gambling problem. Maybe he owed gambling debts and committed suicide. The so-called suicide note was just an excuse!"
Tachikawa Tazuko curled his lips and said, "No matter what, Shijo Miyazaki used his own death to protest against Yamada Shinichi receiving the Ogawa Award. Shouldn't Yamada Shinichi bear the responsibility?"
Shuri Iuchi stood firmly on the side of Yamada Shinichi, who was relatively good-looking. "The three major awards of Yamada-kun were approved by authoritative judges. They weren't bought. What responsibility does he have?"
As the two argued, Hayakawa Naomi listened. Her small hand held the ring tightly. She was silent and her face was pale.
When she arrived at Yamada's house, she couldn't help but open her mouth. Several news vehicles were parked outside the courtyard. The media personnel carrying cameras focused the lens on the courtyard and took a series of photos.
Among them were reporters from the Tokyo Daily News, Heian Daily News, and many other well-known media outlets.
When Hayakawa Naomi noticed this, she hesitated for a moment before walking over. Indeed, a few people noticed her immediately.
"Who are you? Are you Yamada-kun's classmate?"
"Do you know about the Shijo Miyazaki incident?"
"What do you think about it?"
At this point, the door opened. It was Yamada Izumi. She was still talking on her phone. She shouted, "Naomi, why are you here? Come in."
Although Yamada Izumi was prepared, her face was still pale. She hurriedly entered the house. At this point, the surrounding reporters swarmed in, wanting to interview her. The door slammed shut.
The phone rang. Hayakawa Naomi took it out from her bag and answered, "Hello, is this the minister? I'm Naomi, are you alright? "
"I'm at your house now. Yes, I just arrived. Are you not at home?"
"Yes, I'm not at home now. I'm at the Minagawa Shrine in Chiba County. Don't worry, I've already sent a lawyer over to warn them!" Pei Zi Yun's voice could be heard through the phone, "Because you and I are both minors, according to the law, the media has no right to interview us."
As he spoke, a car drove over. A man alighted from the car and spoke to the reporters. The reporters took a few steps back, but they were still unwilling to give up and continued to take pictures.
The man's attitude gradually became stricter, as though he had spoken harshly. Only then did the reporters disperse. Seeing this scene, Hayakawa Naomi felt more at ease.
"Naomi, aren't you afraid that you're here?" Pei Zi Yun seemed to know what was going to happen, "For safety's sake, it's better for you to stay away!"
Hayakawa Naomi opened her mouth and hesitated. She then mustered her courage and said, "I'm not afraid. I feel that Yamada-san did not do anything wrong. You cannot bear the responsibility for this. They are too evil."
"Furthermore, we are comrades. How can we betray each other?"
"Is that so?" In the Minagawa Shrine, Pei Zi Yun paused in the middle of answering the phone. He then walked to the window and looked at the lush greenery outside. He then laughed, "I understand, Naomi. Take care of yourself. Trust me, I will solve this problem."
After hanging up, Pei Zi Yun did not speak. He only mumbled, "Comrades?"
After some time, he shouted, "System!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes and enlarged rapidly, turning into an information interface.
"Mission: You have been slandered. This will affect your Legendary Door. Please retaliate quickly and stabilize the Legendary Door (Incomplete)."
The Legendary Door relied on its literary reputation. This was not an insurmountable problem. In fact, after killing Akira Fukuchi, he could feel that a small part of it had become permanent.
However, before it became permanent, it still had to rely on its literary reputation.
"Are the Tobaku Faction trying to slander themselves because their plan has failed?" Pei Zi Yun laughed, his eyes filled with killing intent.
