After roughly confirming that the situation was within control, Iwahashi Shinichi began to learn the cause and effect of the incident from the police.
In fact, it couldn't be simpler. Tonight, when the band went up to sing, there was an audience in the first row below, who probably had a few too many drinks, and kept booing.
Akamatsu Haruko has been practicing well these days, and she has been performing very steadily without being affected at all. As a result, after singing four songs and about to leave the stage, the audience suddenly shouted "Stop looking down on others!" and jumped.
Go on stage and want to beat Akamatsu Haruko.
It was bassist Tomohisa Kawazoe who reacted fastest and blocked the audience. Club staff rushed over to subdue the troublemaking guests. In the chaos, a newcomer called the police backstage.
Emphasize that only newcomers can do this.
But overall, it was a false alarm.
The only thing that concerned Iwahashi Shinichi was that the policeman said that after the subdued guest came to the police station, he said to the policeman, "It's all because of that woman who looks down on people."
It sounds like there was some conflict between the two of them.
But when asked further, the guest denied it, saying that he and Akamatsu Haruko didn't know each other, but he just didn't like her.
"Ms. Akamatsu, you really don't know him?" the policeman confirmed to her again in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.
Akamatsu Haruko shook her head and said nothing. Her expression was a little stiff, probably because she was frightened. No wonder, if she suddenly encountered such a thing, she was afraid that her soul would be hurt. With this look, it was difficult for anyone to continue questioning her.
After leaving the police station, few people spoke.
It was Iwahashi Shinichi who spoke first, asking Akamatsu Haruko, "How is Akamatsu-san's situation?"
Akamatsu Haruko whispered: "I'm okay." After a pause, she apologized to her teammates and manager, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you all."
The victim apologized for "causing trouble". Iwahashi Shinichi said nothing, waiting for the reaction of the band members.
Kawazoe Tomohisa frowned, as if he was disgusted by this apology. He wanted to say something, but what came to his lips became "If nothing happens, I have to go back first."
He was the one who rescued Akamatsu Haruko this time. He usually looked down upon Akamatsu Haruko. Although rescuing people should not be confused with each other, Iwahashi Shinichi could feel that Kawazoe Tomohisa definitely did not treat Akamatsu Haruko this time.
regarded as "trouble".
Tomohisa Kawazoe left first.
Hirakawa Tatsuya lit a cigarette, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, and said with a smile: "Shinichi-kun is dressed like this, I don't even dare to recognize him."
"Come on." Shinichi Iwahashi also laughed. He took off his tie, folded it and put it in his pocket, and then unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.
"So we're back again." Tatsuya Hirakawa followed closely, as if he was deliberately trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Knowing this, Iwahashi Shinichi allowed him to make fun of himself and deliberately cooperated.
After such an interruption, Akamatsu Haruko's expression softened a little.
Iwahashi Shinichi originally planned to talk about the aftermath at the club. If such a big mess happened, even if the band members were the victims, it would really cause trouble for the club.
But now that she was talking about this, she was worried that it would add more pressure to her, so she gave it up and announced: "Let's stop here today. Everyone, go back and rest first. Leave the rest to me."
Tatsuya Hirakawa and Masaho Koyanagi left together. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Haruko Akamatsu. He was not at ease and asked her, "Shall I call Takenouchi-san?"
"I'm sorry, can you not tell your brother about this?" Akamatsu Haruko asked him.
"this……"
"It doesn't matter to me," she promised, "Although I was shocked at first, it's okay now."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "Okay then. But where does Akamatsu-san live?"
Akamatsu Haruko did not answer.
"If you don't mind, I'll give you a piece of it." He explained, "To be honest, Takenouchi-san entrusted you to me, but as a result something like this happened, I was already upset, and now I want you to go back alone.
, even more regretful."
Akamatsu Haruko hesitated for a moment, "...Then I'll leave it to you, Iwahashi-san."
The two walked towards the main road, Iwahashi Shinichi in front and Akamatsu Haruko following behind him.
Akamatsu Haruko walked like a kitten and made no movement. Shinichi Iwahashi, who was walking in front, could not see her and could only see two elongated shadows of the street lamp.
In his heart, Shinichi Iwahashi was still concerned about the troublemaking guest's words, "Stop looking down on people!" He didn't think that someone who could rush to the stage to take action would deliberately lie like "I don't know her" later on, nor did he think that
Akamatsu Haruko has the need to lie.
So, why does this guest feel that Akamatsu Haruko looks down on him?
She was just performing on stage. Apart from giving a basic introduction to the band when she went on stage, there was no time for interaction with the audience during the four songs. How could there be a conflict? Could it be that the guests were just drunk and looking for trouble?
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that there must be some omission in this.
A girl with a good family background and who had been cared for since she was a child. This was his entire impression of Akamatsu Haruko. But this rough impression could also be said to have no impression at all. Even if Takenouchi Akihito entrusted her to him,
Iwahashi Shinichi had never paid much attention to her, let alone understood her.
Because I didn't know her well, I couldn't find a way to solve the problem after the accident.
Iwahashi Shinichi stood on the side of the road, hailing a taxi, and comforting her in a lively manner, deliberately joking: "This month's taxi tickets haven't been used up yet, so I can give it to you."
"...Thank you." Akamatsu Haruko said.
"I heard Takeuchi-san say that you study Chinese literature in college."
"Yes."
"Why did you think of choosing Chinese literature? ... There is no other meaning, because I also like Chinese literature, although it is probably two different things from what you learned in school."
This is also easy to understand. Chinese people can all speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters, but not everyone can read Chinese language and literature. Even though he is a Chinese at heart, compared with Akamatsu Haruko, he is most likely a fighter.
Five scum.
Akamatsu Haruko did not answer him, but instead asked: "Brother, did you tell me about me?"
"I've just given you a rough outline of the situation, so I have to have a rough understanding of you."
"I can imagine what my brother said to you..." Akamatsu Haruko said.
"It sounds like she doesn't agree with the information Takenouchi-san told me." Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head and looked at her. Akamatsu Haruko's side profile was very beautiful, but she looked a little cold and felt inaccessible.
"However, even if the communication is wrong, it can still be understood." He explained to Takenouchi Akihito, "After all, when Takenouchi-san introduced me to you, he also said that I was the best agent he knew."
"Actually, it's because he only knows me as an agent." Shinichi Iwahashi laughed at himself.
Akamatsu Haruko said: "However, I think my brother's evaluation of Iwahashi-san is not too excessive."
