A leak that is destined not to be reported will certainly not be treated as a big deal. It can be said that even paying attention to this whistleblower who appears out of nowhere is unnecessary.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
It wasn't the whistleblower hiding in the dark that made him feel unsure, but what came to mind was the young man in strange clothes who yelled "KIRIN-san!" at him and ran away quickly before the security guard approached him.
People - it made him feel that something was wrong.
With this in mind, Shinichi Iwahashi discussed with Director Sekikawa and asked him for a favor, "Can you ask Sony to come forward and get a copy of the leaked letter that Weekly Modern Times received?"
Director Sekikawa even thought Iwahashi Shinichi's proposal was funny, "I didn't expect Iwahashi-kun to care so much about this matter."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and didn't care about Director Sekikawa's teasing. However, he did not respond to the joke, so Director Sekikawa stopped by and agreed, "It's not a big deal... Iwahashi-kun rarely speaks.
Once, of course I must do it.”
Iwahashi Shinichi thanked him, "That was really a big help."
Producer Ashida has worked with Shinichi Iwahashi for longer and knows more about his personality. Knowing that Shinichi Iwahashi is cautious and would specifically ask to see an unimportant revelation, he may have other ideas.
.
"Is there anything you care about, Iwahashi-kun?" Producer Ashida asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "I just wanted to see what evidence the person who broke the news had brought to prove this."
Director Sekikawa thought it didn't matter, "No matter what evidence he produces, it cannot be used as evidence. It is simply impossible to prove the true identity of the person under the hood."
Indeed, as long as you don't admit it, it's absolutely impossible to prove it. There is no evidence to make a decision. Things like similar backs and similar voices can only be "guesses".
However, Iwahashi Shinichi may care about this revelation, but what he really cares about is something else.
In other words, it was the source that made him feel that something was wrong and that he felt vaguely uneasy.
…
After Iwahashi Shinichi finished his meal, he came out of the shop with two middle-aged men, perhaps planning where to continue his stall next.
This man plays songs every night, and it is said that he has a full schedule every night.
Today we were eating and drinking with people who looked like office workers. The last time I caught him, he went drinking with Akina Nakamori and another woman. After Akina Nakamori left in the middle, Shinichi Iwahashi and the woman were still talking there.
Laughed for a long time.
This kind of sanctimonious liar can do so many dirty things behind his back.
Takeyama watched from a distance as Shinichi Iwahashi got into the car. Just looking at the appearance of the Bentley, he found it pleasing to the eye. This sanctimonious liar had achieved great success.
The whole world is on Shinichi Iwahashi's side.
Zhushan couldn't catch up with a moving car, let alone direct a taxi to chase a luxury car - in that case, he might be the first to be suspected.
Takeyama doesn't know where Iwahashi Shinichi will go to have a romantic and happy life next. Besides, he is not a paparazzi, and he is not interested in Iwahashi Shinichi's romantic affairs and does not want to chase him.
In a neighborhood lined with high-end restaurants, people like Zhushan still don't seem to fit in well.
But this time, he took his time and zipped up the top of his sportswear, like a person running by at night, and left.
It is impossible for a liar to deceive someone seamlessly.
Even if the whole world is on the side of Shinichi Iwahashi, and the entire Japanese media tells the same lie as Shinichi Iwahashi, there will still be a small group of people who know the truth and insist on the truth. He is not alone.
Zhushan confirmed the answer in his heart, but he didn't feel happy, and felt even more angry and powerless. Even if he knew the truth, it would not help.
"The Sword Comes"
He was even so embarrassed that he didn't even have the courage to confront the security guards of the building and ran away.
After meeting Shinichi Iwahashi for the first time, Takeyama was depressed for a while. He was listless, but tortured by a deep unwillingness. Until one Sunday evening, Takeyama returned to his rental apartment after his usual report to Walkers Paradise.
I live in an old-fashioned two-story apartment. Near the apartment, there is a thin, middle-aged man standing there. He is not a tenant of the apartment.
In addition to Zhushan, there are three tenants in this old apartment. A ronin boy who is preparing for next year's college exam after failing the exam and rarely sees anyone, and a taciturn young man who lives alone - Zhushan suspects that he is of Korean descent. In addition to
In addition, there is a middle-aged couple. The man wakes up early and stays late, and the woman is a Southeast Asian who does not understand Japanese.
This middle-aged man looks like he has nothing to do with any of the tenants in the apartment.
Zhushan decided to ignore him and walked slowly over, but was stopped, "Excuse me, is this the 'Higurashi Village', right?"
Zhushan raised his eyelids, glanced at him, pointed to the door number next to him with his chin, and said nothing. The middle-aged man did not feel that this attitude neglected him, smiled, and asked him, "I want to find someone
A man named Takeyama Hiroshi."
Zhushan's heart skipped a beat and he felt alert. This was not because he had a premonition, but because he had always been a loner and had an introverted personality. It was rare that he was called out like this. Therefore, he was particularly nervous when his name was called.
He hesitated for a moment, "What do you want from Zhushan?"
There was a hint of hesitation on the middle-aged man's face, as if telling him that this was something inconvenient to say. Zhushan saw this and slowly added the next sentence, "I am Zhushan."
The moment he got this answer, the other party showed a relieved expression, "Great, I was worried that it would be hard to find." He patted his forehead, "By the way, my surname is Miyata, this is mine.
business card."
Zhushan took it and took a look, his expression changed slightly, "Are you a reporter?"
"I'm a freelance reporter." Miyata explained to him.
Takeyama actually didn’t understand what a freelance reporter was, but he didn’t ask any questions because he didn’t want to expose his ignorance. This reporter, named Miyata, told him, “I have cooperated with several weekly magazines to provide articles.
, I heard about Mr. Zhushan."
"My business?" Zhushan responded and immediately felt his heartbeat speed up.
I found out about myself from the editor of a weekly magazine... except that Shinichi Iwahashi is the Giraffe Man, what else could it be?
That night, reporter Miyata invited Takeyama to a very delicious restaurant. Takeyama wanted to refuse, but Miyata said, "Next, I still have many questions that I want to ask Takeyama to answer, so I will just treat it as a intensive discussion."
Before asking questions, it’s better to replenish the energy for thinking.”
Miyata seems to be very approachable, and he is also a very experienced person.
In Miyata's eyes, a young man like Takeyama is as innocent as a baby. The innocent Takeyama kept Miyata's question in mind, and even though every dish was delicious, he still ate absentmindedly.
After finally finishing dinner, Takeyama's stomach was filled hastily, and his heart was filled with all kinds of questions and words, almost feeling painful. Therefore, when reporter Miyata finally started to talk about the topic, he seemed to want to
Like relieving pain, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told everything he knew, as well as his anger and confusion.
For Takeyama, who had been tormented by this incident for a long time, reporter Miyata simply knew the same secret as him and was willing to believe what he said, which was enough for Takeyama to trust him without hesitation.
However, even with such trust in Reporter Miyata, Takeyama still subconsciously concealed the fact that he had shouted "KIRIN-san!" to Shinichi Iwahashi outside the GENZO office building.
Takeyama didn't want Miyata to know about his embarrassing experience. In other words, even he himself didn't want to face the reality of running away.
Miyata listened patiently, but still interrupted Takeyama at the right time, and did not let him say everything. Just when Takeyama felt a little relieved, but felt deeply dissatisfied, he said: "Iwahashi-san
It is indeed very regrettable that such a person told such a lie."
Takeyama finally found his soulmate. However, he was not happy for long. Miyata told him in a calm tone, "Takeyama-kun also knows, right? The show where DREASM E TRUE debuted."
"Band band heaven." Takeyama said.
"Iwahashi-san took the lead and participated in the production of that show. In fact, the plan for that show was written by Iwahashi-san."
Zhushan moved his lips and wanted to say that the producer of the show went to participate in the competition. Who knows if there is a shady story behind that show.
But Miyata obviously didn't care about this. What he told Takeyama was, "Countless bands have debuted from this show, and half of the record companies in the industry have signed bands that came out of this show. If
The performance of DREAMS E TRUE is doubted, then..."
Zhushan was poured cold water on his head, "That's why the weekly magazine refused to expose this matter."
"No," Miyata corrected, "this is the entire Japanese media, cooperating with the record industry to tell the same lie."
Miyata told Takeyama why the weekly magazine would not publish this matter. Because the entire industry has benefited from Iwahashi Shinichi. For the sake of profit, the media can ignore the truth. On the contrary, those who insist on telling the truth will be blocked.
Shut up.
Zhushan showed a painful expression, "This kind of thing..."
Such a thing!
Zhushan was filled with grief and indignation. It seemed that through this incident, he saw how capital and the media had colluded over the years, burying the truth while doing whatever they could to create a topic. And the ordinary people were fooled by them and thought they had seen it.
The whole world has actually been deceived into turning around.
Now, at this moment, Takeyama's anger is no longer just that "Shinichi Iwahashi deceived the public", but "there is a pair of invisible hands controlling everything of the public."
Unintentionally, I discovered the truth and also saw the cruelty and shamelessness of this world.
However, the cruelty and shamelessness of the world did not make Takeyama retreat. On the contrary, he gained unprecedented strength from Miyata's words——
Miyata has a very sense of justice. He told Takeyama about his ambitions, saying that as a reporter, he should let the public know the truth, instead of uniting like this and keeping the world in the dark. Therefore, he was very disappointed with this smoky industry.
He said: "The letter from Mr. Zhushan suddenly appeared in front of me, which made me think that there is such a person. I admire such courage, so I want to meet this person no matter what."
Zhushan has lived in obscurity until now, and this is the first time he has been valued like this.
Lonely, without peers, and not appreciated... This kind of self will also have a day to be appreciated. Miyata praised Takeyama's bravery and persistence, saying that he is a young man with roots, unlike those young people nowadays who only know how to have fun.
totally different.
It turns out that he is not that inconspicuous. The reason why Miyata saw him was because of the revelations he sent to the weekly magazine.
It turns out that the reason why he encountered obstacles in everything he did was because he came into contact with the dirty inside story between capital and the media.
Zhushan felt that a big mountain appeared in front of him, but he was not afraid of this big mountain.
During the conversation with Miyata, he unknowingly saw himself as a tragic hero who wanted to challenge the world on his own and fight against despicable and shameful things.
The appearance of Miyata made Takeyama feel that what he was doing had unprecedented significance.
What would it be like if he really became this hero who fought against power? By then, would he still be the most eye-catching one among the crowd even if he was wearing an ordinary suit?
…
Director Sekikawa of Sony was straightforward in his work. In the afternoon of the next day, Shinichi Iwahashi received a copy of the leaking letter received by Weekly Hyundai.
This explosive letter was sent by a person named Takeyama Hiroshi.
In fact, after Shinichi Iwahashi participated in the radio show, Sony received a large number of letters stating that Shinichi Iwahashi's voice was very similar to that of the Giraffe Man. However, they would use this as evidence to expose the news to the weekly.
Hiroshi Takeyama was probably the first person.
Apart from this, the letter did not give any key evidence that could be called evidence.
This leaking letter was ordinary.
Iwahashi Shinichi read the letter and didn't find anything special in it. Maybe when he heard Director Sekikawa talk about this matter, he felt something wrong in his heart because he was overthinking it?
No. The source of the strangeness did not come from this leaking letter, but from the young man in strange clothes who rushed out and shouted "KIRIN-san!"
Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes fell on the envelope of the leaking letter, and suddenly his heart moved. The leaking letter was sent to "Weekly Modern" in March of this year. When did the young man appear under the GENZO office building?
